The army marched towards Mount Tianyao. There had never been a movement of this scale in the City of Qingzhou.
Mount Tianyao was extremely large, many times larger than the main city of Qingzhou. It was impossible to imagine how many demons there were. Generations of ancestors had tried to clear out Mount Tianyao, but in the end, it was just wishful thinking.
Now, Qingzhou Academy and the Dark Kylin Knighthood had been forced into Mount Tianyao by Xia Fan. With the addition of the State Guard of Qing and the Army of Heiyan behind them, the army was even more ferocious than the beast tide.
The Dark Kylin Kirin Legion was the vanguard, and the strong cultivators from the School of Sorcery of Qingzhou Academy cleared the way for the demon beasts to retreat to Mount Tianyao. However, Qin Shuai and the others were not excited at all. Attacking like this was equivalent to giving up on defense completely. Many demon beasts would slip through the net and enter the city of Qingzhou to wreak havoc.
"Lead the way." Xia Fan walked in the middle and said to the middle-aged man in front of him. They had made a mark when they entered Mount Tianyao to look for the ruins.
Ye Futian and the people of Heiyan Academy walked behind them. He had already found out that the girl beside him was Tang Yue. She was 20 years old and was indeed a beauty. She had a seductive charm to her.
Soon, Ye Futian and Tang Yue became familiar with each other.
"Senior Sister, you're so pretty. You must have a lot of suitors, right?" Ye Futian asked.
"Why do you ask?" Tang Yue smiled at him.
"Do I have a chance?" Ye Futian looked at Tang Yue. Tang Yue's eyes flashed and she giggled. "You're quite handsome. Too bad you're a little young."
"Senior Sister, I'm already an adult at 16," Ye Futian said seriously. Tang Yue saw his expression and couldn't help but giggle again. The young man from Heiyan Academy saw Tang Yue's smile and couldn't help but glare at Ye Futian.
"Senior Sister, do you know why we entered Mount Tianyao this time?" asked Ye Futian.
"I heard from the elders that there are ancient ruins in Mount Tianyao."
Ye Futian shook his head. "Senior Sister, let me tell you a secret."
Then, he whispered into Tang Yue's ear, "There are secret manuals left by Emperor Ye Qing in Mount Tianyao."
Tang Yue's expression immediately turned serious. She looked at Ye Futian and asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth?"
Something flashed in Ye Futian's eyes. It seemed that Xia Fan did not say anything. It was no wonder. When it came to Emperor Ye Qing, Xia Fan had to hold back.
"Of course, Hua Fengliu is my master. I also know General Qin, so I know this secret. Otherwise, why do you think there would be so many people here?" Ye Futian said seriously.
"Wait for me here." Tang Yue left as soon as she finished speaking. Ye Futian watched her walk over to the elder from Heiyan Academy who wanted to challenge the master. After a while, she returned and said to Ye Futian, "Come with me."
Ye Futian walked in front of the elder. The elder's eyes were closed. He asked, "Where did you hear this news?"
"What is your status in Heiyan Academy?" Ye Futian asked.
The old man opened his eyes and a sharp glint flickered within them. "What do you mean?"
"Since I came to Heiyan Academy to study, I naturally want to become a disciple of the strongest," Ye Futian said.
"I am the headmaster of Heiyan Academy, Tang Mo. If you perform well in the future, I will consider teaching you personally," the elder said. Tang Yue smiled and said, "My grandfather."
Ye Futian bowed and said, "Since you are the headmaster and Senior Sister Tang's grandfather, I will not hide anything from you. There has always been a rumor in Qingzhou City that the legendary Emperor Ye Qing came from Qingzhou City. He left behind an inheritance in Qingzhou City, and the person who obtains it will be able to inherit his mantle and obtain his secret manuals. Many people think that it is just a legend, but it is the truth. The inheritance is in Mount Tianyao. General Qin saw it with his own eyes."
"Why didn't he take it?" Tang Mo's eyes were sharp.
"Senior, it is not that easy to obtain the inheritance of Emperor Ye Qing. If it was that easy, why would Xia Fan set up such a trap?" Ye Futian asked.
Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at him. "Do you know what will happen if you lie to me?"
"I did not know that you were in the dark. I was only chatting with Senior Sister Tang Yue. I would not dare lie to you. However, Xia Fan gathered strong cultivators from the East Sea Prefecture and used the people of Qingzhou City and Heiyan City to fight the demons for him. I am afraid that he has ulterior motives," Ye Futian said.
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between us?" Tang Mo's eyes were sharp. A strong aura pressed down on him.
"When you arrive at the relic, you can see for yourself whether Xia Fan is lying or not. If what I said is false, then my life is in your hands. If what I said is true, then you must be careful," Ye Futian said.
"Why?" Tang Mo asked.
"I do not know what Xia Fan promised you, but you know better than me what the inheritance of Emperor Ye Qing means. Once everyone and the demons are killed, the inheritance will be at your fingertips. After that, it will be easy to silence them. You must be careful," Ye Futian said solemnly. At this moment, the sound of the army marching could be heard. The strong cultivators of Heiyan Academy had sealed off the area, so there was no need to worry about their voices leaking out.
"Do you hate the vice chief?" Tang Mo suddenly asked.
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Of course, Xia Fan will do anything to achieve his goal. He started the beast tide and the City of Qingzhou is my hometown. Furthermore, if he succeeds, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. If you don't believe me, it's fine. But if you do, Hua Fengliu is my master and I know General Qin. Even if we used to be enemies, we can still work together. If I can inherit Emperor Ye Qing's legacy, I won't hold any grudges against him. If I can obtain the inheritance of Emperor Ye Qing, then I can travel to the East Sea to cultivate. The sky is as high as a bird. When I leave the mountain, I will not be afraid of the chief anymore. "
"Tang Yue, take him away," Tang Mo suddenly said with a dark expression. Tang Yue walked towards Ye Futian.
Ye Futian bowed to Tang Mo and left with Tang Yue. He did not say another word.
"What do you think?" Tang Mo asked the eagle-eyed man beside him.
"This kid has a big mouth. We can't believe him completely, but we have to believe him either. The key is whether or not it is the relic of Emperor Ye Qing," the eagle-eyed man said.
"What if it is?" Tang Mo asked again.
"Father, if it really is the relic of Emperor Ye Qing, let alone the City of Qingzhou, even the entire East Sea would be nothing to us." The eagle-eyed man's expression suddenly became sharp. Tang Mo's eyes also shone brightly. Although the kid's words were meant to drive a wedge between them, he was not wrong. If he really got the relic of Emperor Ye Qing, he would be able to fly as high as a bird. Who would be able to find him in the vast East Sea?
"In your opinion, can we use him?" Tang Mo asked again.
The eagle-eyed man's eyes flashed. Then he shook his head and said, "This kid is too talented and temperament. It will be difficult to control him."
"Indeed. Tianhao is a proud person and only cares about cultivation. This kid is different." Tang Mo nodded.
"Although Tianhao lost to him, he is still a Mandate Sorcerer. He will only get stronger in the future. Now that he has gone to the City of Donghai to study, he will definitely return with glory. If we can't tame this kid …" The eagle-eyed man looked at Tang Mo.
The army advanced at a very fast speed. Along the way, they stepped over countless corpses of demon beasts. But at the same time, they also suffered terrible attacks. Both Qingzhou Academy and the Dark Qilin Knighthood suffered heavy casualties.
The fog in Mount Tianyao was getting thicker and thicker. If you looked down from above, all you could see was chaos. If you were in the air, there was no way to mark your position. Otherwise, Xia Fan would not have used this method to advance.
One day, Gu Mu, the Headmaster of Qingzhou Academy, and Qin Shuai found Xia Fan together. Gu Mu said coldly, "If the Dark Qilin Knighthood and Qingzhou Academy continue to clear the way, and the others do nothing, we will go back the way we came."
"Are you threatening me?" Xia Fan stared at Qin Shuai.
"Think what you want," Qin Shuai replied calmly. They were no longer in the City of Qingzhou. Back then, they were facing the attacks from both the demon beasts and Xia Fan. They had to agree to any conditions. Now that they were deep in Mount Tianyao, Xia Fan did not dare to push them too far.
"Alright." Xia Fan compromised. Then, he called out, "Headmaster Tang."
"Yes." Tang Mo nodded. Then, he ordered the strong cultivators of Heiyan Academy to join the battle. Ye Futian also followed. The demon beasts in the fog were getting stronger and stronger. Sometimes, high-level Dharma Plane demon beasts would appear. Only the strong cultivators of the older generation could deal with them.
As the days passed, the number of people advancing decreased. Moreover, the ones who died were those with higher cultivation levels. The weaker ones were all protected at the back. They would not send them to their deaths, so it was safer for them.
Ye Futian would run into the crowd of Heiyan Academy cultivators whenever he was in danger. Naturally, he would be very safe. He would never risk his life to fight for Heiyan Academy. Although many people looked at him with disdain, why would he care?
Finally, when they reached a deep enough area, they realized that the fog was gradually dissipating. The light in this area was the same as the outside world. In fact, it was even brighter. The Spiritual Qi in the air seemed to be thicker.
"This seems to be a Spiritual Qi matrix, and outside is a foggy area. Could it be …" someone said.
"Yes, we're here." The strong cultivators beside Xia Fan had bright expressions on their faces. They continued forward. Everyone realized that there were no demon beasts in the mountains, not even a single one.
"What is that?" Someone exclaimed, pointing to the front. As they got closer, the scene in front of them became clearer. Everyone's hearts beat faster. They saw a huge statue rising from the valley and standing in the middle of the mountain.
Everyone's hearts trembled. They continued to get closer. Standing on the ancient peak in front of the valley, they looked at the statue that was even taller than the mountain. The Spiritual Qi in this area was extremely thick.
"Look down." Walking to the edge of the mountain, there was a canyon below, and the statue was right there. Someone pointed at the canyon below, trembling. Below that incomparably huge statue, there was actually a dragon, a true divine dragon, coiled there like a mountain of flesh. But at this moment, that divine dragon had its eyes closed, as though it had fallen into a deep sleep.
"It's that dragon." Many people in Qingzhou Academy were shocked. Ye Futian's eyes also flashed. This dragon looked very much like the dragon shadow that appeared during the autumn hunt last year.
Other than the statue and the dragon, there were countless big demons coiled around the statue, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Qi.
This place was like the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"Emperor Ye Qing," someone exclaimed, staring at the statue in front of them.
