Sky Mountain was vast but no one was flying in the sky.
Ye Chen glanced around and found that the eyes of the people behind him were filled with solemnity. They were looking at the peak of Sky Mountain in the distance, appearing strangely quiet.
"Legend has it that in the ancient times, a powerful cultivator died on Sky Mountain. After he died, his body turned into nothingness and merged with every inch of Sky Mountain. Since then, whenever someone cultivates here, they can feel a mysterious feeling. It is very helpful for them to achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation. As such, Sky Mountain is known as the Holy Mountain. Everyone respects it." Yan Xiu immediately explained when he saw Ye Chen's confusion.
"You are not only familiar with the Man Region, you seem to be very familiar with Sky Mountain as well." Ye Chen turned to look at Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu smiled faintly and did not speak.
"This kid is a little strange. You better be careful." Xuanyuan Xiu's voice sounded in his mind.
Although the Kun Boar Totem had been activated, Xuanyuan Xiu was still unable to leave because of the seal placed by the elders. Furthermore, he had promised the elders that he would assist Ye Chen. Even if the seal was broken, he would not leave so easily.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Ye Chen looked at Xuanyuan Xiu calmly.
They walked along the mountain path. After six hours, they reached the waist of Sky Mountain.
They were already ten thousand meters above the ground and the mountain was covered by clouds. Looking ahead, they could no longer see the other mountains and peaks. There was only a stretch of white. It was as if they were in a sea of clouds. Their hearts were open and their breathing was much smoother.
Ye Chen glanced around and realized that the air was filled with wisps of fog. This fog was neither clouds nor an illusion array. It was the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"No wonder it is known as the Holy Mountain."
Ye Chen thought to himself. The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth here was so thick that it formed a visible fog. It was truly shocking.
"Su Qingxue, why is she here?"
At that moment, an exclamation was heard. The hearts of the crowd trembled and they immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
When Yan Xiu heard this name, his body could not help but tremble. Very quickly, his gaze turned towards a pavilion in front of him. There, stood a fiery-red figure with picturesque eyebrows and a tall nose. Her entire body exuded a heroic spirit, causing the eyes of the crowd to light up.
Perhaps feeling the gazes of the crowd, the woman slowly turned around. On her pretty face, there was a rare trace of impatience. Just like her attire, she had an extraordinary heroic spirit, like a female general galloping on the battlefield, not inferior to men in the slightest.
"It is said that Su Qingxue...................... She............................
The crowd looked at the fiery red figure with fear in their eyes, but more than that, they were burning with passion.
In the Yuehua Mainland, martial arts were respected. Strength was everything.
A woman like Su Qingxue had both beauty and strength. She could be said to be a goddess in everyone's heart.
"It's getting late. Let's continue climbing. Let's see if we can reach the top of Sky Mountain before nightfall." Yan Xiu turned around and said to Ye Chen. He was about to move forward.
Ye Chen did not refuse. He looked away and the three of them continued to climb.
"Stop!"
A crisp voice was heard all of a sudden. Accompanied by a wild gust of wind, a graceful figure appeared behind the three of them in a flash. Her palm suddenly slapped out, bringing with it a horrifying scorching aura, which enveloped the three of them.
Ye Chen turned around and glanced at that person. It was actually Su Qingxue. A burst of anger welled up in his heart. Although that palm strike wasn't fatal, it contained a bit of soul aura. If it hit BiYao, she would definitely be injured. This woman attacked without any hesitation.
With that thought in mind, Ye Chen was about to attack, but Yan Xiu beside him moved. An ear-piercing sword hum was heard, and sword Qi tore through the air, completely cutting off the scorching aura. At the same time, it also pushed Su Qingxue back a little, landing more than ten meters away.
"Sword Spirit!"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. When Yan Xiu attacked, a sharp Spiritual Aura exploded from his body like a sword. He used his finger as a sword and released a sharp Spiritual Aura that forced Su Qingxue back. This scene was fleeting, but it did not escape Ye Chen's eyes.
Yan Xiu was not at the Ninth Heaven of Truth. He was in the Saint Plane. He had been hiding his strength.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
Su Qingxue spat out coldly. She stared at Yan Xiu and shouted, "Get out!"
Her voice was filled with anger. However, Ye Chen's sharp senses could detect a hint of sadness in her anger. Su Qingxue, the most beautiful woman of the Four Symbols Ancient Clan, was angry and sad when facing Yan Xiu. What was going on?
"Anyone from the Man Yu can climb Sky Mountain to participate in the selection. Why can't I be here?"
Yan Xiu looked at Su Qingxue and said calmly. Then, he looked away and continued to climb to the peak.
Su Qingxue's eyes froze. She said in a low voice, "You have already killed my sister. Are you still thinking of harming the Four Symbols Ancient Clan?"
Thump!
Yan Xiu stopped in his tracks. He paused for a moment. Then, he continued to walk forward. His voice was still calm. "Yan'er, she is not dead. I will bring her back to life."
"Yan Xiu, if you say such things again, I, Su Qingxue, will kill you!"
Su Qingxue shouted at Yan Xiu angrily. A scorching aura was released from her body. A golden-winged bird beast bathed in flames appeared in the void. It spat out flames and charged towards Yan Xiu.
Boom boom boom!
Flames rushed into the sky, burning the surrounding Yuan Energy into nothingness. However, when the crowd looked over, they realized that Yan Xiu had already disappeared from his original spot. A sword cry echoed out, and his figure appeared at the waist of the mountain. His clothes were still pure white, and not a trace of the scorching aura was stained by it.
"What a fast movement technique."
BiYao's pupils shrank slightly. In that instant, she did not even see Yan Xiu's figure clearly. Such a speed was probably even faster than Ye Chen using the full power of "Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens".
"Let's go." Ye Chen looked at the figure that was silently climbing up the mountain. He smiled faintly and followed behind.
When Ye Chen and Su Qingxue passed by each other, Su Qingxue suddenly stretched out her hand and stopped Ye Chen. She asked in a questioning tone, "Are the two of you friends with Yan Xiu?"
"Somewhat." Ye Chen turned around and replied softly.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. Yan Xiu is an inauspicious person. Those who are with him will not have a good ending. While there is still time, leave quickly. This is not a place where the two of you should be."
Su Qingxue lifted her head. Her face was filled with arrogance. The words that came out of her mouth were like a command.
