Chapter 509: Put forth!

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

"Kid, are you sure?" Bei Si had a frown, his face solemn. Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu and the other girls of the Ice Emperor City were also astounded, looking at him doubtfully.

They used to think that Shi Yan would have left them immediately when he had a big support like Bei Si. There was a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior who wanted to kill him. Such characters, when they wanted to take action, they usually had a complete plan beforehand. Perhaps that strong warrior had a plan to counter Shi Yan’s monster teacher too.

The gap between the Sky Realm and the Spirit Realm warriors was vast, let alone the Third Sky of Spirit Realm!

"It's okay. I dare to stay, so of course, I'm not afraid of him." Shi Yan smiled, looking leisurely at Bing Qing Tong and her people. "You know that I'm his target, but you still protect me. Should I value my life more than yours? Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will take it with you guys."

The beautiful eyes of Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu lit up quietly. This boy had an excellent conduct indeed. Under such circumstances, normal people would only think about saving their lives, as they would put their safety at the priority. Obviously, he could choose not to bother with their matter. Why did he choose to stay?

Bing Qiang, Bing Wei, Shuang Zi and the other girls had their eyes sparkling, blooming beautifully.

"You can leave. We won’t blame you." Bing Qing Tong had a strange expression as her mood was complicated. She wanted Shi Yan to stay, but at the same time, she thought that it wasn't right, because they had no connection. Shi Yan didn’t need to spend his strength for them. Moreover, the enemy was an intimidating one.

"It isn’t about getting blamed or not, it’s my principle and personal integrity." Shi Yan shook his head. "Although I’m not considered a good person, I have a good consciousness. That’s the core. If I leave, you will sink into troubles. Even though this thing isn’t all about me, his target is me. Your sisters disclosed my whereabouts because of their greed, and you aren’t related to that. You don’t need to bear anything for them!"

Core, principles…

Bing Qing Tong had always maintained her cold and arrogant manner, but after having heard his words, she relaxed.

Shi Yan’s insistence… wasn’t it the thing she had preserved for many years?

Otherwise, why would she have to stay in the Ice Emperor City? Staying in a poor land, no strong warriors would respect them. Although they had difficulties and their living was more strenuous, they had never violated the vow they took. She had to do so to protect her sisters’ dignity and purity.

As Shi Yan was persistent in talking about his principles with her, he looked a bit unwise, but these things were related to deep inside someone’s heart which stored the most touching human disposition.

"You shouldn’t stay. Don’t blame us later." Bing Qing Tong was rarely so tender. She smiled at him and nodded in agreement, while she suddenly had a feeling of meeting a long-lost friend.

"Don’t worry. That’s my decision. I will bear it all. Nothing’s related to you guys." Shi Yan was frank, waving his hand toward Bei Si. "Precursor, please return to the Banner family first. After I’m done with this, I’m going to visit the Banners. Haha."

Bei Si didn’t move. He hesitated for a while and then laughed out loud. "It’s okay. I can stay. Although the other has the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, even in the worst case, I can retreat. From your confidence, I can see that it’s okay whether I leave or stay."

"It’s good, though." Shi Yan had the absolute confidence, and Bei Si didn't worry about himself being involved in their troubles. "Wait until this stuff's over. I will come to be your guest. We should drink and enjoy ourselves!"

"Kid, you’re a frank and generous person. I like you!" Bei Si applauded joyfully.

"Everybody should restore your strength. After we’re done, we’ll depart immediately." Shuang Yu Zhu made up her mind on seeing the changing situation. She advised the other girls. Bing Qiang, Bing Wei, and the others wore a smiling face, throwing their glance at Shi Yan strangely. Some brave girls even tried to seduce him discreetly, batting their long eyelashes to attract his attention.

These girls always had a cold aura on their bodies. Now, as they were smiling, it was hard to resist. Even Shi Yan had his eyes brightened.

Listening to Shuang Yu Zhu’s order, the girls of the Ice Emperor City sat down at the lake again, closing their eyes to restore their strength. They gradually quieted down.

Shi Yan wasn't hurried either. He took out one high-quality Essence Qi crystal, found a place to sit down and used the energy inside to supplement his Qi.

Bei Si didn’t leave. He sat down next to Shi Yan, eyeing the young man with an excited, smiling face. It seemed that he wanted to see what kind of person Shi Yan was.

After Lao Li and Lao Lun had come back to the Banner family, they shared their experience in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. There weren’t many persons that this pair of brothers admired in the White Emperor City. But after they came back, they idolized Shi Yan, saying that none of the youth of the Divine Great Land couldn't be compared to him, a young man with a will of steel, upright and loyal manners, and someone absolutely worth being a deep-rooted friend.

As Bei Si had heard all that from the Lao brothers, he had been interested in Shi Yan. However, he didn’t really believe that Shi Yan could be so excellent. He was still suspicious.

Today, he’d seen Shi Yan’s conduct. Now, he had to wait a little bit longer to check out the young man’s competence.

One hour later, after all of them had recovered, they continued their trip to the White Emperor City. However, after a couple hundred li, Bei Si darkened his face.

"Seems like that strong warrior is coming…"

Everyone was startled, following Bei Si’s line of sight. They all changed their visage.

Roughly ten li ahead of them was a vast, dense forest. Big, old trees jutted up to the sky, towering the area. Demonic beasts flashed on and off. This area belonged to the White Emperor.

At this moment, thick grey clouds were covering the dense forest. Those clusters of grey cloud were like a curtain, covering one-third of the area. The forest underneath was quiet, without even a chirp and whirr, seeming almost scary. This gave people a feeling that something wrong was happening.

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu exchanged looks. They took a deep breath, with their countenances extremely solemn.

"Da-jie, did you sense the aura of second and third sisters?" Shuang Yu Zhu sensed for a while, releasing her Soul Consciousness to check. She couldn’t hide her fear, as a light flashed from her eyes.

"Ah..."

Bing Qing Tong shook her head. She couldn't send her Soul Consciousness through the forest.

"Certainly, that man has covered their auras. If he has the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base and uses his Soul Consciousness to cover our sisters’ auras, we can’t find it."

Shuang Yu Zhu’s eyes changed. She kept silent, watching over the land ahead of them with caution.

"You guys. Do you want to go there?" Bei Si was hesitant. "The opponent has blocked the way ahead, so he must have guessed that you would take this way. Even if you return, he can still hunt you down. With his realm, of course, his speed's faster than ours. Moreover, you have some juniors here. We can't avoid him."

Everybody knew they should avoid the opponent, but how?

If they had only Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu here, when they found something abnormal, they would have returned at max speed. Risking their lives and using the secret technique, they should have a big chance to survive.

But today, there weren’t only the two of them…

Although they knew that they couldn’t avoid, they didn’t dare to decide. As the opponent was covering one-third of the forest, apparently, he had a complete plan. If they entered the place recklessly, they could meet some barriers. At that time, they would have no way to hide or flee.

Everybody stopped there, thinking about how to solve this situation.

Waiting was also a method…

If the opponent couldn’t be patient and came out from the forest first, even if they would lose the battle, the consequences wouldn’t be so bad. Perhaps, some of them could return alive.

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu decided to wait for the opponent to get out of the forest.

"Hahaha..." A cold, gloomy laugher reverberated through the forest. As it was echoing everywhere, people couldn’t detect the source of the laughter.

"Well, I’ve been waiting for you for an hour. Finally, you’ve come. None of you will escape my hands." Yu Li Ming’s voice was deep and sinister, coming from the forest.

"Second Sister, Third Sister, are you there?" Bing Qing Tong wore a cold face, shouted.

"Da-jie..."

Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing regarded her, their tones full of bitterness. Seemed like they were bullied.

Hearing the two answer her, Bing Qing Tong could ease her mind a bit. Musing for a while, she probed, "I would like to know who the hotshot is in the forest? You’re waiting for us here to do what? Our Ice Emperor City doesn't compete for power. I think we didn't cause any grudge against you. Why do you want to force us to death?"

"I'm coming here this time, isn't it because of you?" Yu Li Ming laughed evilly. "Hand that kid to me. After I am done with him, we can have fun for a while. I'm very interested in you guys. Well, maybe I can enlighten you or give you some good stuff."

"He’s the distinguished guest of our Ice Emperor City. I wonder how he has caused resentment with you?" Bing Qing Tong frowned.

"City Master Bing, you don't need to be wordy with me. Everybody here is sensible. Give me the man, and I’ll let you go. If you don’t comply, haha, you know the consequences!" Yu Li Ming laughed coldly. His tone showed that his patience was draining. "Don’t waste my time. I have come here this time, so I won’t go back empty-handed."

"Shi Yan’s the line disciple of a respectable hotshot. You dare to take action against him… Have you ever considered the consequences?" Bing Qing Tong threatened him with solemn complexion.

"Haha... What about that hotshot? He didn’t come here personally. I’ll kill that kid and break the soul seal. How will he find me?" Yu Li Ming wasn’t afraid of her threat.

"This old man’s always alone. I move a lot, and I don’t have a permanent residence. This Divine Great Land is vast enough. I just need to find a place and stay in seclusion. Even if he spends a hundred years, he won’t be able to find me. After a hundred years, perhaps this old man could reach the True God Realm too. At that moment, should I be afraid of him?"

"What’s about hundred years of waiting? You aren’t afraid of troubles, so should I be?"

Shi Yan wasn’t patient enough to listen to the old man. He cracked a smile, strode to the forest and pitched his voice. "Hey old black turtle! It’s okay you won’t come out, I’m getting there. I want to see what you have to capture me."

Bei Si, Bing Qing Tong, and Shuang Yu Zhu had a surprised face. They hadn’t even reacted before they saw Shi Yan dashing forward like lightning, robustly shooting into the forest.
