Chapter 1061 Puzzling News
On the ancient battlefield filled with yellow sand, a majestic team was slowly advancing. Along the way, they encountered many living beings of the Nine Heavens. They were watching closely, but they did not dare to approach.
Some hot-blooded people even joined this huge team after hearing a series of deeds. Among them, some of their blood relatives died tragically in this chaos. Some, their companions and partners, who were as close as brothers, fell into pools of blood. They were furious and hated. They could no longer tolerate traitors.
As more and more people joined, this team expanded to 50,000. The number was shocking.
Roar! After passing through the yellow sand and ancient path, a deafening roar came from the other side of the mountain. A huge white tiger leaped across the mountain and stood in front of the team.
"White Tiger Li Qi?" Ye Qiu frowned and said coldly as he looked at the huge white tiger in front of him.
He didn't want this… friend he had once known in Imperial Pass to stop him. It was hard to say if they were friends, but Ye Qiu was very puzzled as to why he stopped him. The people behind him were also very puzzled. There were even hot-tempered people who almost wanted to attack.
However, they were all stopped by Ye Qiu.
"You can't go to Imperial Pass now!" Li Qi's expression was still cold when he saw this vast commotion. His gaze surrounded the entire venue, looking at these figures who had once been famous on the ancient battlefield.
Now, they had all become the followers of this human youth in front of him. He was surprised, but he quickly understood. The admiration of the strong in the world could make an expert submit and be willing to be at their beck and call. Only stronger experts could conquer them.
And Ye Qiu happened to be this ultimate expert who could make them submit from the bottom of their hearts. Since ancient times, there were countless geniuses who could suppress a generation like Ye Qiu.
"Why?" Ye Qiu asked calmly.
Li Qi replied, "I've heard about you! I only hate that I was entangled with an Immortal Ancient beast and missed this huge battle. I also understand your feelings. At the same time, I'm filled with grief and indignation. The home we've spent our lives protecting actually produced a traitor. Moreover, this person has a high status and is the ruler of Imperial Pass!"
At this point, his eyes were filled with hatred. He hated traitors the most in his life. Just like when he was young, he was abandoned by his family! It reduced him to a wandering tiger, struggling at death's door in the chaotic world.
Therefore, he also hated the City Lord Residence. However, this wasn't a reason for him to stop Ye Qiu. He continued, "There are rumors currently that the City Lord Residence has already joined forces with the eight great family clans to set up an inescapable net killing array. Once you barge in, you will definitely die.
"If you want to overthrow the so-called ruler, blindly attacking will only cause more blood to flow for nothing. I'm stopping you here not to stop you, but to tell you that you need some methods to overthrow them."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu finally understood. He smiled in relief in his heart. It seemed like this friend had not walked to the opposite side of him. He was very happy! However, at the same time, he frowned.
At this moment, Imperial Pass had received the news in advance and was already prepared.
Ye Qiu thought that he could kill his way through the so-called inescapable net, but what about his followers? As the leader of these people, he had to consider them. He would not be able to go far with his pure boorish actions.
Although there were 50,000 people now, if Ye Qiu kept implementing the rash decision, then what awaited him was death. Just as he was thinking, a dragon roar came from the Nine Heavens and echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
"Hmm? Above the Dao Sacrificial realm." Ye Qiu frowned and looked over. He saw a flood dragon circling in the sky. Dark clouds covered the sky, as if a heavy rain was about to arrive. Three golden halos flickered on his body. They were the True Dragon Ancestral Qi he had refined.
"Fuze?" Ye Qiu said the flood dragon's true name. Everyone looked over and was shocked. He did not expect that in just a few months, the flood dragon had also broken through its shackles and reached the realm above the Dao Sacrificial realm.
The circling flood dragon was chanting in the Nine Heavens. Soon, he landed in front of the team. Just like White Tiger Li Qi, he stopped the army from advancing.
"Ye Qiu! I didn't expect you to pull up such a huge team in just a few months. As much as I hate to admit it, I have to say that in this aspect, I'm not as good as you." The proud Fuze no longer had his usual arrogance in his expression. Instead, he lowered his attitude and said calmly, "I've also heard about the Immortal Ancient Ruins. Hmph, traitor! Their crimes are unforgivable. Conspiring with outsiders is an even greater crime.
"I'll take the lead for you in this battle! What I look down on the most in my life is cheating, selling my master for glory, betraying, and colluding with outsiders.
"Previously, I had already gone to Imperial Pass to investigate. They had received the news in advance and set up an inescapable killing array under Imperial Pass. The eight great family clans had joined forces with the City Lord Residence to gather hundreds of thousands of people. There were countless experts holding down the fort behind the scenes, waiting for you to fall into their trap."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became noisy. Everyone discussed and began to discuss countermeasures.
Xiao Jinse walked up with a frown and said, "Where did they gather so many people? Moreover, the forces in the Imperial Pass are complicated. Could it be that all the family clans are on their side?"
"Haha, these so-called large clans are just a bunch of puppets driven by the desire for power. The City Lord Manor has held down and presided over Imperial Pass for many years. It has long been deeply rooted in everyone's bones. Once they fight, they will definitely choose to take sides. This concerns their family clan's future. This is not strange." Fuze sneered.
At this moment, Li Qi suddenly said, "However, I have good news for you."
"Speak." Ye Qiu immediately said.
Li Qi continued, "A few days ago, someone saw the figures of the disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion in the Fire Domain Continent. It seems like… a huge team is gathering here."
"What?" As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu was shocked. Heaven Mending Pavilion? Why were they involved? It had been less than a day since they decided to rebel. It was impossible for them to receive the news. Even if they received the news, it was impossible for them to come so quickly.
Not only was Ye Qiu puzzled, but Xiao Jinse was also puzzled. He hadn't even received any news from his master. Why would a disciple of the Heaven Mending Pavilion appear nearby?
"Could it be that this was the First Elder's arrangement before he left?" Ye Qiu suddenly said. Xiao Jinse immediately understood.
Apart from this explanation, he could no longer think of anything else to explain this problem. In other words, before the First Elder left, he had predicted such a calamity, so he secretly arranged all of this.
Just as Ye Qiu and the others were preparing to attack the Imperial Pass, there were already Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples inside to receive them?
