Free Web NovelChapter 1704: Chapter 1704 Irrational
Ye Liuyun immediately told Mu Yuqing the news.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yuqing showed a disgusted look, and angrily said, "These people are so despicable! They didn’t help when the foreign races seized the Power of Origin, they only know how to hide here to seek refuge. They shouldn’t be saved by the Devil Vine, let them all be trapped here to die!"
"Maybe they didn’t know the news! After all, this place is quite far from the Power of Origin! Without my Flying Shuttle, we wouldn’t have arrived here for several months." Ye Liuyun comforted her.
Hearing this, Mu Yuqing also thought it was possible: "I hope they really didn’t know!"
After the Devil Vine cleaned up all the Corpse Demons outside, it hid outside the cave where the Wan Family members were hiding, waiting for Ye Liuyun’s command.
Seeing no one coming out, Ye Liuyun and Mu Yuqing went straight into the artifact.
The residences of the Wan Family, which had previously been occupied by the Corpse Demons, had all been demolished by the Devil Vine.
"It seems the Wan Family has given up these residences long ago!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself as he walked, leading Mu Yuqing directly to the platform that attracts lightning at the back mountain of the Wan Family.
The lightning was still continuously bombarding the platform that attracts lightning, often causing sparks to fly.
Ye Liuyun carefully watched the ground, basically at the middle of the mountain, there were no footprints on the stairs, it looked as if no one had been here for a long time.
As expected, the Corpse Demons dare not approach. If move forward, the power of lightning would often leak out.
Ye Liuyun walked in the front, absorbing all the power of lightning that occasionally leaked or erupted.
His Divine Sense also noticed, there was a cave at the top of the mountain, with a stone slab sealing the entrance. The stone slab also had Formations for protection. freёwebnoѵel.com
In front of the cave was a large platform. The stones making up the platform were all carved from Thunderstrike Stones.
"So many!" Ye Liuyun was elated in his heart. freewebnoveℓ.com
The Thunderstrike Stones here are not only abundant but also immensely large. The one in the middle is nearly ten square feet. Acquiring this would be more than enough.
However, Ye Liuyun is not greedy and reckons that obtaining one which is quite similar would suffice. After all, people from the Wan Family are still here, these things are by no means considered unclaimed.
But before they could reach the mountaintop, voices echoed from inside the cave.
"Haven’t we made it clear? We won’t leave! What crap about safeguarding the world’s Power of Origin, it’s none of our concern. Why are you here again?"
Upon hearing this, both Ye Liuyun and Mu Yuqing halted their steps.
Mu Yuqing asked, "Has someone been here before? Where are they now?"
"Hmph! No need to ask, if they’ve not been eaten by the Corpse Demons, they’ve turned into one. Pathetic souls who can’t even protect themselves, dreaming about saving the world!" The voice retorted sarcastically.
"We have cleared the external Corpse Demons. Members of the Wan Family, would any of you care to step out and speak?" Ye Liuyun said, uninterested in wasting time; he just wanted the Thunderstrike Stones and leave.
"No need to talk, just go! The Corpse Demons aren’t just these few. They’ll return soon. Don’t blame me for not warning you if you’re trapped here by then. That’s how your predecessors perished!" The voice coldly remarked, clearly uninterested in meeting Ye Liuyun and his group.
That’s how your predecessors perished!" The voice coldly remarked, clearly uninterested in meeting Ye Liuyun and his group.
"I’m not here to persuade you to leave. I’m here to trade for a Thunderstrike Stones. I can exchange it with food, elixirs, or spirit stones!"
Ye Liuyun saw that they were unwilling to come out, so he had no choice but to directly state his own needs.
"No exchange! This platform that attracts lighting is the foundation of our Wan Family. If you dare to covet it, don’t blame us for not being polite!" threatened the martial practitioner.
"I only need a piece, it won’t harm the foundation of this platform..."
Ye Liuyun still wants to explain.
But before the could finish, another martial practitioner’s voice came from inside: "Get lost! Don’t waste time here! Not even half a piece is acceptable!"
The voice was transmitted using genuine energy, indicating that the martial practitioner was at least in the later stage of the Sacred Majesty realm.
"These martial practitioners are truly unreasonable. Don’t waste time talking to them, just grab it directly!"
This time, surprisingly, it was Mu Yuqing who transmitted her voice to Ye Liuyun, instructing him to directly snatch it.
Previously, those who were sent out to seek help from martial practitioners were all Mu Yuqing’s fellow disciples. So when Mu Yuqing learned that not only did the Wan Family refuse to help, but they also turned a blind eye to the situation, she harbored resentment towards them.
The members of the Wan family actually witnessed humans being besieged but refused to lend a hand in rescue efforts. With their considerable numbers and the power of thunder and lightning at their disposal, they should have been capable of rescuing the individuals in danger.
So Mu Yuqing also wanted Ye Liuyun to directly eliminate these selfish individuals.
Moreover, with their extremely hostile attitude, if Ye Liuyun didn’t directly intervene to snatch it, they probably wouldn’t have handed it over willingly either.
Ye Liuyun also knew that being soft wouldn’t work, so he had to resort to force. While he generally had a good temper, he wasn’t going to tolerate everyone’s attitude.
He instructed Mu Yuqing to step back, avoiding being struck by the power of thunder and lightning. Meanwhile, he continued to move forward.
"What’s this? Kid, are you looking for death on your own? Do you think we’re afraid to kill you?" The martial practitioner inside the cave couldn’t help but threaten again as he saw Ye Liuyun continue to ascend.
Ye Liuyun coldly sneered, "I’m afraid you can’t kill me!"
With that said, he accelerated his pace, swiftly advancing until he stood in front of the platform that attracts lightning.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot directly from the stone slab sealing the cave entrance towards Ye Liuyun.
"Turns out, the Formation on this stone slab also has the capability to deflect attacks from martial practitioners!" Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but marvel at the intricacy of the Formation in his mind.
"Boom!"
The lightning bolt solidly struck Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun didn’t even attempt to dodge. After the lightning dissipated, he remained standing unscathed.
"Since you struck first, I won’t be polite anymore!"
With that, Ye Liuyun stomped his feet on the ground, causing a rumble. The previously arranged Thunderstrike Stones were loosened by Ye Liuyun’s stomp.
"Damn it! Kill him, everyone attack together!" The martial practitioner inside the cave shouted in frustration.
"Crack, crack..."
Another five or six lightning bolts thundered from the door panel, shooting toward Ye Liuyun.
This time, Ye Liuyun managed to dodge several lightning attacks by sidestepping. These martial practitioners’ lightning attacks contained their genuine energy, with three of them being the genuine energy of the ninth stage of the Sacred Majesty realm. Ye Liuyun didn’t dare to be careless.
Immediately, he slammed his palm onto the ground again. Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the Thunderstrike Stones were all shattered into pieces by his palm strike.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Liuyun collected all those Thunderstrike Stones into the Spatial World, leaving none behind.
These Thunderstirke Stones have been absorbing the power of lightning here for years, and the lightning energy stored inside them is extremely abundant. Each one is filled with a large amount of lightning energy.
Ye Liuyun do not care at all.
Although his lightning power hasn’t reached the Immortal Realm yet, he has endured the bombardment of Celestial Thunder. These lightning energies only make his body feel slightly numb and don’t affect his ability to act.
