Imperial Treasure-Chapter 982 - 589: Corpse
After speaking, the Mount Hua Mountain Chief had already leaped from the cloud top, a flock of birds flew out from the cliff, carrying him away.
Chu Ziyu stood up, apologized to everyone, and said: "This session of the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference might have to end like this. If any of you would like to continue staying on Mount Hua, rooms and food are naturally prepared; if you wish to leave, someone will escort you down the mountain..."
About half of the people didn’t want to stay, sensing some unrest in the air, while the other half, driven by courage and curiosity, felt that Mount Hua had quite a few secrets hidden within, especially with so many powerful forces present, it would surely be interesting.
Ultimately, the strong stayed, those above B-level, naturally all the S-levels stayed.
Sui Yi also didn’t leave.
"Sui Yi, about last night..."
While descending to the Lotus Cloud Platform, Gong Jiu and the others unsurprisingly inquired about the previous event.
"It’s true."
Gong Jiu and the others were frustrated that Sui Yi remained silent about last night’s encounter. But it made sense – Sui Yi couldn’t even track the person’s whereabouts or avoid being knocked unconscious, it was understandable how formidable they must be; Sui Yi’s silence was for their own good.
"Mount Hua is indeed a bit mysterious, I think today’s event isn’t simple. Look, Chen Yuniang in front..."
Chen Yuniang, at this moment, was being escorted by Chu Ziyu down the stairs. Chu Ziyu indeed demonstrated demeanor even towards someone who accused Mount Hua calmly...
Meanwhile, Natasha walked alone, unsure of her thoughts, continuously gazing northward.
Quite a few were watching towards the north,
as Sui Yi looked on coldly.
Gong Jiu and his group had just descended from the Lotus Cloud Platform, intending to discuss their next move.
Boom!!!
A sudden violent explosion from the northern mountainous area hit.
It startled Gong Jiu and the others in the middle of their conversation.
Before they could react, they heard the Mount Hua Sect Member ringing the bell, ding ding ding!
"It’s over at the Forbidden area!"
"Quick, let’s go!"
Mount Hua members couldn’t spare time to attend to Sui Yi and his group, rushing en masse toward the northern valley.
Gong Jiu and his companions hesitated, "Hey, Sui Yi, should we..."
Huh?
Sui Yi had already vanished.
————————————
Mount Hua is a mountain, unparalleled, vast in size; folded down, it reveals small-scale valleys, the most remote and inconspicuous being the one hidden within the forest in the north.
In the valley, the mountain and green forest block the view, leaving only a small cave with an iron door.
This iron door was sealed tight with a large lock.
At present, the door had been broken open.
Many were dead on the ground.
A fierce fight ensued.
Numerous people.
The Mount Hua Mountain Chief was trapped in the melee, while some Mount Hua Disciples fought fiercely.
Against individuals with ragged clothes and sinister faces.
Apparently, they looked like a group of prisoners.
Sui Yi perched on a branch, glanced at the carnage below in the valley, then shifted his gaze to a platform protruding from the mountain wall ahead.
It was a moderately sized solitary monastery, consisting of three or four buildings built along the mountain’s slope, with green pines standing elegantly, large stones covered in moss, and a few scattered leaves on the blue stone slab path. However, dust rarely accumulated, as surrounding trees shed leaves frequently, yet gravel and dust weren’t regularly accumulated.
Someone lived there, often tended.
This place was situated on the side of Mount Hua Forbidden Area Prison, inherently mysterious in nature, with the monastery having such disposition...
Sui Yi found it strange, but suddenly heard the killing below become intense due to the presence of numerous Masters participating in battle, whose arrival stirred the air.
Have they arrived.
None of them noticed Sui Yi.
Sui Yi instead lost interest in the commotion below, thinking for a moment, she slightly tapped her foot, stepping onto the blue stone slab pathway toward the monastery.
A bronze cauldron stood before the temple, emitting white smoke, leaves rustled with the wind, and her solitary figure appearing thin.
Sui Yi stood beneath the pine tree for a while, seemingly able to catch that previously familiar Fragrance of Brahman, causing her to frown slightly, her fingers brushed the bark of the pine tree, causing a slight tremble at her fingertips.
She looked up, above the small arch of the blue steps, several people gazed at her.
Two faces were familiar, two unfamiliar.
Zhong Buli and Zhong Lang were the familiar ones, while a stranger clad in green clothes and an aloof expression was unfamiliar.
The other, an elderly monk, was equally unknown.
Zhong Buli’s expression was unpleasant, as though her mere presence was a great misfortune, Zhong Lang on the contrary smiled, nodding toward her.
Through a single pine tree, Sui Yi felt no necessity to continue talking with them, so she turned her head, happening to catch sight of Gong Jiu and his group approaching.
