Chapter 297
The Grand Mysterious Sky Platform, the center of the platform …
A thin old man was sitting on the ground. His face was weathered from experience and his eyes were deep and cold.
With him as the center, the starlight in the sky scattered out like fireflies. Each beam of light landed on the outside of the stage and formed a dazzling lightning that struck down.
The Heavenly Lightning Array was created by him alone and did not use any materials. Even the so-called formation array was only a shell that he had borrowed.
"Master Yang, do you want to stop him?"
"Stop what?" The old man didn't even lift his eyes.
The corners of Spiritual Master Liu's mouth twitched. He knew that Master Yang was asking the obvious.
He forced out a smile, "It's like this, Master Yang, the purpose of this awakening is to raise everyone's strength, so that more people will have the chance to enter the first nine abyss to hunt demonic pets. As a result, no fighting is allowed."
Master Yang gave a cold sneer, "I don't need you to repeat what I know again."
Spiritual Master Liu was startled. He had heard that this Master Yang was an extremely difficult person to get along with. At the beginning, he didn't think much of it. However, he didn't expect that the other party was really as the rumors said.
"But, Master, what I want to say is, that Ye Feng is simply disregarding the rules and causing his own sect to suffer." Master Liu licked his lips and directly made his point.
"Ye Feng."
Master Yang muttered, "The name of the person who set up the formation is Ye Feng."
Originally, he came to participate in the Martial Spirit Awakening Storm as a show of his own to give Elder Zhao face. However, now that things had progressed to this point, he was really interested in Ye Feng.
"That's right, Ye Feng violated the rules. I plead for Master Yang to give me permission to expel him from this Martial Spirit Awakening Storm competition."
Master Yang shook his head very straightforwardly, "No. Master Liu, you should know that the formation placed by Ye Feng is not some offensive formation. It's just a Spiritual Drawing Array, and does not possess any offensive power."
Liu Zhenren was stunned. "But..."
"Then let me ask you, I randomly threw a rock on the road, and after two hours, this rock tripped a person. Then, am I responsible for throwing this rock?"
When Liu Zhenren saw that the other person was trying to get out of the situation for Ye Feng, he started to panic.
"Master, if we allow that leaf to lay down the formation, it will definitely cause quite a bit of casualties."
What problem would there be if they walked on the main road properly? What's more, I don't see that Ye Zifeng has done anything extreme. He has already cut off half of the formation materials, so at most, they will be blown up and no one will die.
Master Yang chuckled, obviously appreciating Ye Feng's actions.
Moreover, in his heart, he had some thoughts on the matter regarding Elder Zhao's prohibition of fighting.
The struggle on the Great Dao, the survival of the fittest,
In the Celestial Sect of Wonders, there would be people who, on account of their fellow sect members, would show mercy.
However, what if they left the Gate of Wonder and went to the Nine Abyss, or went to a deeper realm, the Wasteland Region, or even the Otherworldly Realm?
A person's face was not given by others, it was something that they had to rely on their own strength to fight for.
"Therefore, Daoist Master Liu, don't be impatient. Let's wait and see."
Master Yang smiled and continued, "If something really does happen that involves a person's life or an attack, you don't need to say anything. I will personally take care of Ye Feng."
"Then... "Well," Liu sighed, knowing he could no longer persuade her.
Master Yang had a profound look in his eyes as he stood up.
The starlight around him seemed to be glowing at the same time.
"I don't know either …" "Who would be the first to step onto this Tai Xuan Heaven Altar and start to awaken their Martial Spirit?"
… ….
Before Ye Feng left, he did not make a move against Wang Mengxi and only snatched away her water spirit jade pot.
However, this small part made Wang Tian Zhi and his men lose their "eyes". They were walking on a small path, but they didn't know where Ye Feng and the others were.
As Starlight watched the path get narrower and narrower, he frowned.
"Qing Xuan, I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this, something doesn't feel right."
Qing Xuan let out a "eh" sound, "What's wrong? Don't tell me you don't believe Wang Tian Zhi's words?"
"It's not that he doesn't believe Wang Tian Zhi's words, he was played like this by Ye Feng, there's no reason for him to lie to us anymore."
"Then why did you …" Qing Xuan looked at him with suspicion.
"The person I don't believe is Ye Feng."
"What?" A hint of surprise flashed through Qing Xuan's beautiful eyes. "Could it be that you think he will know that we are taking this small path and take the opportunity to set up an ambush? But, you must know that the rules say that no form of fighting is allowed."
"Because of this rule,"
Starlight sighed, "That's why I felt that it was a bit strange. I felt a little stuffy, but I didn't know what was wrong."
Right at this moment …
Wang Tian Zhi's swearing voice came from the front of the two of them.
"Hey, you two still won't be able to leave, especially Qing Xuan. Without you leading the way, everyone won't be able to endure this Heavenly Thunder Array."
Qing Xuan immediately replied, "It's coming, it's coming."
She lightly smiled as she looked at Starlight, "Alright, Starlight, I don't think that you can think too much about it. After walking through this small path, the Tai Xuan Heaven Platform will be right in front of you.
Starlight's eyes lit up. After pondering for a moment, he nodded his head heavily.
"This is a good suggestion, I just want to go back and walk on the main road again."
"You …"
Qing Xuan widened her eyes. She hadn't expected the other party to be so stubborn.
"Qing Xuan, if you believe Wang Tianzhi, then follow him. If you trust me, then follow me."
Starlight had a serious expression on his face. It didn't seem like he was joking.
"I'm going to take the main road."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from …
"Heavens, how can there be such a person in this world?"
Qing Xuan watched Starlight leave with a complicated expression on her face.
At the same time, Wang Tian Zhi's voice sounded in her ear.
"Qing Xuan, didn't you hear what I just said? Hurry up and come to the front!"
She hesitated and sighed. In the end, she still walked in front of Wang Tian Zhi and the others.
"He's here, I've said it all."
Seeing her come up, Wang Tian Zhi snappily glared at her.
"Although Ye Feng walks on the main road, he has already left for an hour. If we dawdle and delay, we will still be a step behind him. Oh yeah, what about that star with you? Where's he? Did he go?"
"His name is Xing Hui. Just now, he was afraid of being in danger, so he went back to take the main road."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Some of them even thought that he was just going to resolve the issue after seeing him turn around and leave.
Who would have thought that he would return to the Great Dao?
Wang Tian Zhi looked at Qing Xuan with his mouth agape, "It can't be. He's still going back to the main road at this time. Has his brain been kicked by a donkey?"
"That's right, what time is it? If we're going back now, we'll definitely be at the bottom, and there's still some ferocious beasts up ahead. His guts aren't that big, right?" Some people were confused as well.
A trace of anger flashed across Qing Xuan's pretty face. "You're not allowed to talk about Senior Xing in such a manner. With just you alone, you want to compete with him?"
"Foolish people don't allow others to speak. What kind of world is this?!"
Qing Xuan glared fiercely at the person who spoke, "If you continue with your nonsense, believe me or not, I won't be leading the way for you later. Didn't I say before that if you want me to lead the way, you have to listen to me properly?"
Once he said that, everyone went silent. Even Wang Tian Zhi who was shouting the loudest shut his mouth.
Without Wang Tianzhi leading the way, it would only take them a while to walk down the road.
However, without Qing Xuan leading the way, the rumbling Heavenly Lightning Array would be enough to make everyone feel good.
"Alright, let's go. Don't talk about other people's troubles. Awakening your martial soul is the proper thing to do."
"That's right, Lady Qing. It was my cheap mouth just now. I hope you can lead the way."
Qing Xuan coldly snorted before she turned around and continued walking forward without saying a word.
The group of people looked at each other blankly and followed closely after him.
As Qing Xuan led the way, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
He had spent so much effort to lead the way, yet he did not ask for any benefits. He only wanted to accumulate contacts and make plans for the future.
But now, because of what had happened to her senior brother, a small disagreement had arisen between her and the others. Even if she brought him further along, others might only remember Wang Tian Zhi's kindness, but they would never have expected her to go.
Although her potential was good and she had comprehended the Dao not too long ago, how could she have lived like that? In the end, she did not experience any storms, and was just a bit too inexperienced.
… ….
After walking for an unknown amount of time …
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Tai Xuan Heaven Altar from afar. Listening to the soft cursing of the people behind her, the displeasure in her heart had greatly increased.
She murmured, "Ye Feng, I wish that you will really set a trap for me on this path and teach the people behind me a lesson..."
At the same time, she sighed and took another step forward.
As she took this step, all of a sudden, the lightning in the sky condensed into a ball and gathered towards this narrow path from all directions.
"This, this is …" Qing Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
The starry sky, the thunder,
The ball of lightning enveloped the entire path, seeming as if it would fall at any moment.
"Oh my god …"
Wang Tianzhi's mouth was wide open as he looked at the scene in front of him with his mouth wide open.
The people who were originally carrying him, upon seeing such a calamity befall upon them, immediately threw Wang Tianzhi, who was tied up to the ground by the Immortal-Trapping Rope, onto the ground and fled for his life.
"Don't... "Don't leave me behind," Wang Tianzhi said as he raised his head to stare at the giant sphere of lightning, his eyes filled with despair.
… ….
After a while, an earth-shattering sound could be heard.
Ye Feng stood on the last step of the Grand Mysterious Sky Platform. He turned his head and looked down. A deep smile appeared on his face.
