Chapter 758: Can’t leave!
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The group of them returned to the city, while Lan Jie and the others left to look for a water source. Sima You Yue, Little Dream and Halcyon were randomly wandering around in the city, scouting it out.
Since they t them, she was in no hurry to leave. They had co here before she did, so they might know sothing.
“Yue Yue, this city isn’t small, but there aren’t any survivors. The ghost clansn wouldn’t be that powerful.” Little Dream said.
“You find it strange as well?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Based on the information we got from the two we caught, they weren’t that powerful. It wouldn’t be too possible that they are the ones who worked together to clear out the city.” Little Dream explained her thoughts.
“Yeah.” Sima You Yue said, “I feel the sa way.”
“Is there sothing we don’t know?” Little Dream said with a tilt of her head.
“Halcyon, what do you think?” Sima You Yue looked at Halcyon.
“My guess is that they probably aren’t the sa group of people.” Halcyon said.
“Not the sa?”
“This is just my guess.” Halcyon said, “We t a group of people before, but they probably aren’t working together.”
Sima You Yue followed Halcyon’s train of thought as she suddenly clapped her hands, “Maybe you’re right! We had t a group of spirit beasts who had been controlled, while another type had been evil ghosts. The spirit beasts were weaker, while those evil ghosts were stronger. Because they attacked us together, we thought that they were the sa group. Maybe they’re totally different groups.”
“If they really aren’t working together, then two groups of them ca at once?” Little Dream said, “That’s strange. Few normally co over, but two actually ca this ti. Furthermore, they’re both working at Bright Red Mountain Peak. They didn’t go anywhere else.”
“That’s because the ones who attacked under the evil ghosts are unable to leave this place due to certain reasons. They can only move about on Bright Red Mountain peak. As for the other group, they have co to kill those people.” Blue Blade explained as he ca out from the house.
Sima You Yue only now realised that they had walked over to where Blue Blade and the others had gone to wash up.
“How do you know that?” Sima You Yue nodded at him as she asked.
“Over a hundred of my Heroic Sword Sect ca, but only a few of us remain today. If we didn’t even find out this much, then my fellow disciples would have died in vain.” Sima You Yue said rather sadly.
“I apologise, I didn’t know…”
“Brother Sima, there’s no need for you to apologise. Their deaths were not caused by you.” Blue Blade said, “Before we ca to this place, we did not think it would be so hazardous. I’m afraid that it would be hard to account for this when we return to our sect.”
“Young Lord Lan, you managed to beco the blue sword of the sect at such a young age. I believe the sect will not bla you too much.” Sima You Yue consoled him.
“You know about us?” Blue Blade asked with surprise.
“I do.” Sima You yue said, “The Heroic Sword Sect is one of the top sects specialised in physique and cultivation. You’re split into two groups, one focuses on physique and then cultivation, while the other focuses on cultivation before physique. It’s further split into the seven different colours, red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, violet to represent the divisions. The other main disciples are nad by their colour. And you, are the top disciple of the Blue division. Am I right?
“Young Lord Sima does know things rather clearly.” Blue Blade said with a smile.
“I heard a friend ntion it before.” Sima You Yue said.
In the past, she had been chatting while drinking with Qin Mo, and Qin Mo had told her before of a sect in the central regions. Their style was just, and he had made friends with many of them inside. They were a lot better than the sage sect who kept excessively praising themselves.
“I wonder which friend this is?” Blue Blade asked. He saw Sima You Yue’s eyes flash with hesitation and suddenly felt as if it was improper of him to ask as he explained, “I, Sir Blue, was rely a bit curious. There are not many outsiders who know of our heroic sword sect. Those who know more about us are those who have a better than average relationship with our heroic sword sect. If it is not convenient for Brother Sima You speak of him, then you do not need to tell .”
“I see.” Sima You Yue smiled, saying, “Actually, it’s nothing much. It was Qin Mo who told .”
“Young Lord Qin?” Blue Blade was stunned for a brief mont when he heard Qin Mo’s na, “I did not expect that Sima You Yue would actually be Young Lord Qin’s friend. I have truly lacked respect.”
“He and I rely t by chance and ca together over shared interest. We just got a little closer.” Sima You Yue explained simply, without explaining how close they were or were not.
“Senior, what are you talking about?” The baby faced lady ca out from the house and bowed to Sima You Yue and Halcyon, saying, “Thank you all for saving us today. re words will not do, if you ever need my, Zhou Lan’s, help, please instruct .”
Sima You Yue had a good impression of this straightforward beauty as she smiled, “There’s no need for any instruction. We rely saved you today because of fate. The Bright Red Mountain Peak is large, but we managed to et.”
“Regardless, we will always rember this.” Zhou Lan said firmly, keeping Sima You Yue’s actions firmly in her heart.
“Oh right, you said earlier that you know a bit about the ghost clan? I wonder if you could tell us a thing or two? I, You Yue, have only been here for a short ti, and did not et anyone who could speak. Our eyes are a bit clouded at the mont.” Sima You Yue said.
The two in the spirit pagoda were imdiately disregarded.
“How could I now.” Blue Blade said, “Actually, we know this after thinking it over ourselves. I implore Young Lord not to mind if it is not entirely accurate.”
“You have only gotten this information after losing so many of your comrades. I know this clearly, how could I possibly mind.” Sima You Yue said.
“Senior, Young Lord Sima, this is not a good place to talk. Why don’t we head inside.” Zhou Lan suggested.
Although there was nobody in the city, it would not be good to remain speaking at the entrance. As such, the group of them found a relatively new courtyard and entered it.
You Yue saw the house that looked rather new and exclaid, “This house was just rebuilt, but the person is gone.”
“Not entirely.” Zhou Lan said, “If it were not because we ca to the Bright red Mountain Range personally, we would not dare think that on this mountain, an empty city like this would appear in such a short fra of ti. When we think of how we found these kinds of devastating sights elsewhere, it makes our hair stand in anger!”
“How are the other places like? How many places have you gone?” Sima You Yue asked.
They happened to walk past a group of houses and saw a pavilion. They walked in and sat in the pavilion to speak.
“We’ve already been here for three months, and have seen things these three months. It’s even more desperate than anything we’ve ever seen. As for us, we realised that after entering this place, you cannot leave…”
