Chapter 234: Chapter 241: Evil Spirit Island’s Sky Pit!
Mystery! (Second update)
Translator: 549690339
Yang Zhen had never heard of Evil Spirit Island before. However, the name itself implied it wasn’t a good place. The little girl was supposed to be in seclusion for cultivation. Why did she appear on Evil Spirit Island?
Cheap Cat drew closer, curiously asking, “What is Evil Spirit Island?
Ye Zhiming took a deep breath and explained all he knew about Evil Spirit
Island to Yang Zhen and Cheap Cat.
Upon learning such a place existed within the sea along the Coast of the East Sea, Yang was startled. He exchanged a doubtful look with Cheap Cat, then simultaneously muttered, “That old ghost!
Ye Zhiming hesitated, then asked, “Which old ghost?
After hearing Ye Zhiming say that Hua Youyue was fine, Yang Zhen felt relieved. Such a uniquely gifted girl like Hua Youyue wouldn’t easily encounter danger. However, hearing Ye Zhiming’s narration about Evil Spirit Island and associating that with the old ghost’s greenish blood and raging spiritual wisdom, Yang Zhen grew worried again.
Clearly, Yin Malevolent Qj existed on Evil Spirit Island. This Qi, which could influence the minds of all living beings, was no laughing matter. Its impacts upon a person’s spiritual wisdom might have already started undetectably. And the half-year limit deduced by the practitioners near the East Sea may not necessarily be accurate.
Yang Zhen didn’t answer Ye Zhiming’s question and said in a deep voice, “Wait
for me!”
He finished speaking, then without bothering about a bewildered Ye Zhiming, Yang Zhen inscribed the control method of Liuhe Killing Array on a jade slip. He threw it along with a dozen storage rings to the members of the Shangyuan Sect where it landed near the feet of Liu Ruoning.
Liu Ruoning and the others trembled violently, their faces filled with astonishment as they gazed at Yang Zhen soaring in mid-air. They started to speak but held back their words. Liu Ruoning even wanted to pursue Yang Zhen using sword riding for personal recognition.
Yang Zhen waved his hand to halt the actions of the Shangyuan Sect members.
Then, he said to Ye Zhiming, “Let’s go!”
The two men and one cat vanished from the vicinity of White Cloud Mountain in the blink of an eye, leaving the members of Shangyuan Sect looking at each other in a dumbfounded manner.
Gou Shengtian stared at the jade slip and the dozen storage rings under his feet with great excitement which made him breathless. However, he managed to curb the turbulent emotions in his heart. He asked Lu Chenghui, “Following Yang Zhen’s action, it will cause a storm on the Nether State. The event on White Cloud Mountain couldn’tbe concealed. How should we handle the upcoming situations?”
After a long moment of contemplation, Lu Chenghui responded in a deep voice, “No need to be deliberate. Continue with our regular tasks during this period, and observe the changes in the situation.”
What types of impacts would the actions of Yang Zhen bring to the Nether State Continent? Nobody could tell at the moment!
Those practitioners who were robbed by Yang Zhen would naturally not speak well of him. However, they entirely brought this upon themselves. Other people won’t label Yang Zhen as thoroughly evil because of this incident.
In other words, whether it was Mountian Hua or Land Spring Cave Heaven, or those onlookers, they all ended up walking right into the trap set by Yang Zhen out of their own folly.
When this gets out, people would only criticize Mountian Hua or Land Spring Cave Heaven for letting hatred and greed blind them.
Everyone near the East Sea knew that Yang Zhen possessed many valuable things, no matter their level of cultivation. However, anyone daring to provoke this troublemaker Yang Zhen had to be prepared for torturous consequences or even loss of life.
Based on previous experiences, was it really that easy to provoke Yang Zhen? If the troublemaker wasn’t causing any trouble of his own, that was a blessing. But now, people were actually plotting against him. Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
At White Cloud Mountain, within the killing array, all eleven Divine Travel Stage powerhouses met their demise. Moreover, one managed to escape from the array somehow but his mind was in utter confusion – he even forgot his own identity and kept muttering a woman’s name. Soon enough, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Consequently, everyone became cautious about White Cloud Mountain; not because of the barren land, but due to the fear of the killing array set up by Yang
Zhen.
The situation escalated, causing a great sensation in the eastern part of the Nether State Continent. Meanwhile, Yang Zhen, the initiator of all this, had already rushed over to Evil Spirit Island.
A massive surge of Blood Qi enveloped over Evil Spirit Island. Although it was not particularly dense, it induced a sense of faint excitement within people. After stepping on to the island, Yang Zhen immediately noticed that this sort of aura could already start affecting the intelligence of spiritual humans around three months in, by the fifth month, it began to erode humans’ intelligence and possibly started causing harm to humans by the sixth month.
There was no basis for this judgment, it was simply a hunch from Yang Zhen himself, and Yang Zhen’s intuitions were often accurate when it came to crises.
No wonder the little girl only said she needed to cultivate for a month, cultivating on the Evil Spirit Island for a month was equivalent to three months of cultivation in the outside world.
Perhaps it was because of the presence of the Yin Malevolent Qi here that the True Essence on the Evil Spirit Island was incredibly concentrated, surpassing any Heaven and Earth True Essence Yang Zhen had ever encountered.
No wonder, despite the numerous perils on the Evil Spirit Island, a place with a risk of death around every corner, so many practitioners still risked their lives to come here to cultivate.
“Where is the little girl?” Yang Zhen looked up and asked Ye Zhiming.
Ye Zhiming just gave a bitter smile and said,1 Follow me!
The two men and a cat walked towards the northeast, not seeing Bai Xuan and the Water Moon Spirit Lady until they were almost by the seashore.
All along the way, huge beasts roared and ferocious beasts thundered, and the various fierce birds and wild beasts that Yang Zhen saw along the way were truly astonishing.
Even some of the plants in this place were incredibly violent, let alone the naturally brutal and violent beasts.
This sure is a peculiar place, and the place Ye Zhiming led Yang Zhen to was even more eerie, as if the surrounding space had been shattered by someone, and erratic currents of a queer nature permeated everywhere.
Upon seeing Yang Zhen and Ye Zhiming’s arrival, Bai Xuan rushed up to meet them and said, “You’re finally here!”
Yang Zhen’s heart stirred, he looked around and asked, “Where’s the little girl?”
Ye Zhiming’s face tightened, he stared at Bai Xuan and said, “You were supposed to watch the Flower Spirit Girl, why is she not here now?” A flash of bitterness crossed Bai Xuan’s face, he said somewhat helplessly, “I managed to watch her only as much as I could, didn’t you guys notice that I m injured?”
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then nodded, no wonder he had felt something off about Bai Xuan, so he was already injured.
This place looked as if it had just experienced a massive battle, with both Hua Youyue and Bai Xuan’s abilities, they could not possibly create such massive damage, unless… something had suddenly erupted.
Yang Zhen stared grimly at a large pit not far from everyone, he asked in a deep voice, “What on earth happened, where is the little girl now?
Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan exchanged a glance, then heaved a sigh and said, “Bai Xuan, you tell him, what happened after I left?”
Bai Xuan nodded and said, “After the Flower Spirit Girl said she wanted to cultivate, we tried questioning her about it, thinking we’d all cultivate together to prepare for the journey on the Spirit Road. But who would have expected that the Flower Spirit Girl would want to come to this damn place, the Evil Spirit
Island.”
Speaking up to here, Bai Xuan glanced at the large pit not far from him and said with lingering fear,
“We were somewhat reluctant initially and did not follow her over. We tried to persuade the Flower Spirit Girl not to come here, but she insisted on coming to the Evil Spirit Island. It was only when Ye Zhiming and I heard about the disturbances triggered around here that caused all living beings on the Evil Spirit Island to go berserk, did we feel something was off. We promptly rushed over, but it was already too late.”
Yang Zhen’s gaze hardened, he looked at Bai Xuan and said, “What exactly happened?”
Bai Xuan seemed to struggle to get the words out, bitterness was written all over his face.
“The Flower Spirit Girl… seems to have had some problems during her cultivation!”
