Chapter 428 - An accident
Sima You Yue left in a very low key manner. Aside from the elders of the clan and Wei Zi Qi and the other’s families, nobody else knew.
The Wei Clan and Qu clan had completely assimilated into the Yi Lin clan. They weren’t all that powerful and it was impossible for them to follow Wei Zi Qi and the others up.
Sang Mu Yu was the only one who came out for Ouyang Fei’s sake. As a result, she would definitely leave with them. Furthermore, because she spent this time cultivating, her cultivation suddenly improved by leaps and bounds, and she had already advanced in rank to spirit paragon.
Aside from Wei Zi Qi and the others, the ones who accompanied her were Sima Lie and Sima You Ming and the other brothers. There was also Sima You Lin.
Sima You Qing and Sima You Yang wanted to come along too, but Sima Tai said that not everyone could go up. Otherwise, the generation of youths would suffer a heavy setback and impact the clan negatively. He would only let them go once there were people who could replace them.
Although Sima You Yang and the others weren’t happy, they could only stay behind and join them upstairs later on.
Today, she placed everyone into the spirit pagoda because her current strength replied on the compass. The method she knew only allowed one person to go pass.
Sima Tai, Sima You Yang, Sima You Qing and Sima You Lan came to her house to send them off.
“If you want to look for me when you go up, you can head to the Divine Devil Valley.” Sima You yue siad.
“Alright, we will.” Sima You Yang said.
“You Yue, you have to take up. Wait for us to come and look for you.” Sima You Qing said rather worriedly.
They had been worried for her ever since they saw how she appeared the last time.
“You guys can relax. I will be waiting up there for you all.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
She took out the compass and inserted her spiritual energy [1] in. After that, she threw it in the air and the compass opened a portal.
“We’re going off.” She looked at them somewhat unwillingly. However, she still flew in.
Sima Tai and the others watched her leave and watched as the portal closed. Seeing the reluctance in the eyes of Sima You Yang and the others, Sima Tai said, “relax. I’m guessing that you all will be able to head up in no time.”
“Mm. You have to quickly develop the younger generation.” Sima You Yang said.
…
The compass that Wu Lingyu gave her had a set of preset coordinates. Once she inserted a bit of spiritual energy, it will directly lead her to the Divine Devil Valley’s passage.
Sima You Yue could not help by lament at her weakness when she entered the portal. The portal was created rather unstably.
At that time, although her portal was not the best, it would not be as shaky as this current one. It felt as if it would fall apart any moment.
As a result, because the the portal was unstable, everyone felt as if they were being torn apart. It was an extremely painful experience.
“Hong-”
A deafening sound echoed through the portal and Sima You Yue cursed in her heart. Before she had the opportunity to do anything, everyone strayed off the path.
The initial passage fell apart and she was thrown into the void.
It was a good thing she had expected this situation and had prepared herself before she entered the portal.
In her hand she held a compass, but it was not the same as the one before. It was around the size of a bird egg.
The feeling of being torn apart in space was making it harder for her to control her body. It was a good thing that, before the accident happened, she had already inserted her spiritual energy. Very quickly, the compass opened another portal and took her out of the void.
Also, the moment she left the void, she immediately fainted…
In the desert area of the primordial lands, a group of people walked on without hurrt.
Thirty over camels had ten over people riding them. They were chatting away.
“Father, we will be able to exit the desert if we continue walking for half a day more.” A twenty over year old young lady wearing red and riding a camel said. She had a full head of braids and had a little bell tied to the end. The bell moved with her, giving off an occasional tinkle.
The leader was man in his thirties. When he heard what his daughter said, he said with a smile, “This road is rather safe. I hope it will continue to be this safe the whole way back.”
As if he suddenly thought of something, his smile slowly faded and worry crept onto his eyebrows.
The red clothed girl looked at the way her father was behaving and said, “Father, are you worried that the Jiang clan is up to something?”
“If we are unable to get another tribute, Heavenly Tiger Hall may no longer protect us.” The middle aged man said.
“Hmph, in the past, we prepared so many great tributes, but they were ruined by the Jiang clan. If they didn’t snatch it directly, they stole it or broke it. If it wasn’t for them, how would be end up as the last ones?!” Red clothed girl said. She followed up with a smile, saying, “However, the Spirit Source we found this time isn’t bad. It should be able to produce some stones. As long as we give it to Heavenly Tiger Hall, we should be able to pass the danger this round.”
“I’m just afraid that the Jiang clan has already gotten wind of the fact that we found the little mine. I worry that they will come and snatch it from us again.” The middle aged man said.
“Clan Leader, the people we have brought along with us this time are not weak. If the Jiang Clan comes to make trouble again, we will definitely make it so they will never return alive.” A man called out from the side.
“Ah? Father, it seems like there is someone there?” Red clothed girl pointed at the person who was about to be buried by the sand.
The middle aged man took a look and there was really a person under the sand. Apart from the person’s face, nothing else could be seen.
“Clan Leader, will he die?” The guy who spoke earlier asked.
“Father, let’s go down and take a look.” Red clothed girl said.
“Miss, what if that person is someone the Jiang clan placed to ambush us?”
The red clothed girl hesitated, then said waveringly, “Shouldn’t be, right?”
However, she couldn’t be certain and looked towards her father to wait for his decision.
“This place isn’t suited for an ambush. The Jiang Clan shouldn’t be here.” The middle aged man pondered for a while then said, “Send men down to check it out.”
A guard climbed down from the camel and ran over. He shouted at them, “Clan Leader, it’s a young guy. It seems like he’s heavily injured.”
After ascertaining that there was no ambush, the group stopped and , apart from some guards, the rest got off their camels.
“Father, this person seems to be really hurt. We should save him.” The red clothed girl saw Sima You Yue, who had been dug out, and said with furrowed eyebrows.
“Clan Leader, we don’t even dare to walk this area on our own. How did a young guy who was injured land here?” Someone said. He felt that Sima You Yue’s appearance here wasn’t ordinary.
“But Father, the people who come here are few. If we don’t save him, he will definitely be buried by the sand.” The girl said, as if she could not really bear to leave Sima You Yue here.
The middle aged man seriously thought about what to do with Sima You Yue. He didn’t recognise the ring on her left hand and could not see anything else on her that could identify her.
He finally sighed, saying, “Since we have already encountered him, then let’s just bring him along. Once we’re out of the desert, we’ll look for a city to leave him.”
