Chapter 610: Huangfu Qingjue’s Protection
Feeling Ling Chuxi’s fingertips trembling slightly and sensing the sadness in her heart, Huangfu Qingjue was slightly stunned. After that, he lowered his eyelids, and an expression of tender affection swept across his face.
After Ling Chuxi had finished applying medicine on Huangfu Qingjue’s wounds, the two of them continued walking forward. Without knowing when Huangfu Qingjue’s hand once again held onto Ling Chuxi’s hand tightly and warmly.
At this moment, in the depths of Little Silver Ancient Mountain, a few middle-aged men were kneeling in front of an old man. This old man had a face full of wrinkles resembling a thousand-year-old tree bark. No one was able to tell how long he had lived for, but his eyes were still bright and gave off a strong and majestic invisible suppression.
“Lord Sacred Emperor, the barrier’s movement was very great earlier on. Someone has broken into Little Silver Ancient Mountain,” reported one of the middle-aged men.
“Don’t bother whoever it is. Just send out orders telling each tribe is to retreat by 90 miles. Don’t provoke whoever it is,” Sacred Emperor said.
“But, Lord Sacred Emperor, are we not going to check on whether someone has really infiltrated the barrier or not?” persisted the same middle-aged man.
“Whether it is real or not, for someone to have been able to pass through the barrier without dying, what need is there for us to investigate such a person? That person’s cultivation is clearly not one we can afford to provoke! We have already waited for ten thousand years, and in a few more days, it will be the day Cang Yuan finally sees the light again. The success or failure of our beast deity clan all boils down to this. There cannot be any untoward incidents!” said the Lord Sacred Emperor seriously.
“Yes, Lord Sacred Emperor,” said the few middle-aged men before they bowed and left.
The Sacred Emperor stood with his hands behind his back and stared into the distance for a long time. “Exactly how strong a cultivator was this person to actually be able to get past the Eight Gate Array?”
Above a bonfire, a few wild rabbits were being roasted till their meat turned a golden brown, emitting a tempting fragrance.
Ling Chuxi ate and ate as much fragrant roasted wild rabbit as she could until she was satisfied.
“Why aren’t you eating? What are you looking at me for?” Ling Chuxi asked somewhat unintelligibly as she chewed more rabbit meat in her mouth and raised her head to look at Huangfu Qingjue who was staring at her.
“There’s grease everywhere, here, wipe it off a little,” said Huangfu Qingjue as he smiled dotingly and dug out a brocade handkerchief that was light in color and gently wiped away the grease at the corners of Ling Chuxi’s lips.
Ling Chuxi was stunned and her face instantly flushed red. Feeling the warmth of Huangfu Qingjue’s fingers, Ling Chuxi’s heart was a little chaotic.
“In the future, I will bring you to eat all the good food in this world, all right?” Huangfu Qingjue suddenly said in a low voice.
“Ah?” said Ling Chuxi absentmindedly in a daze, she had yet to regain her senses. After a while, she regained her senses, then squinted her eyes in a smile and nodded. “All right, I will remember the words you said today.”
“Yes, of course,” Huangfu Qingjue laughed lightly and also nodded in response.
Warm feelings permeated around the two of them.
After eating roasted meat and resting for a bit, Ling Chuxi went to check on Huangfu Qingjue’s injuries for a bit, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she thoroughly relaxed.
“Let’s go, we will go to the core of the array,” Huangfu Qingjue said.
Huangfu Qingjue once again held Ling Chuxi’s hand and they walked forward. Very quickly, the two of them arrived before a huge, pitch-black rock. On the huge rock, trails of ancient lines converged into a plain and ancient pattern, exuding a mysterious meaning.
Obviously, this was the core of the array in the inner parts of Little Silver Ancient Mountain. Waiting to leave this place definitely meant needing this core of the array to open up.
Huangfu Qingjue put his hand on the huge rock, his palm emitting a gentle and mysterious qi aura. The trails and paths on the huge rock also lit up one by one. When this had happened halfway across the rock, the light from its trails and paths suddenly dimmed and a surge of terrifying strength erupted from within the rock.
Huangfu Qingjue swiftly moved and stood before Ling Chuxi. A vast qi flow came churning over from the huge rock as its center of gravity. Everything within a ten-foot radius was flattened into the ground. And within this churning qi flow, Huangfu Qingjue’s figure remained straight and unmoving, steadily standing before Ling Chuxi in protection.
