Trapped?
Because he was unable to fight, among everyone in his group, Ye Mo was able to focus more on observing the situation. He wanted to fight, but all he could afford was to not become a baggage to the group.
He saw the people trying to break the guardian formation from the inside and failing. It reminded him of the barrier put around the Main Peak.
As the owner of the Tenth Peak, he was the one who most understood how the arrays on his residence work. World qi was used as a source of energy for the formation to function, and it used up spiritual stones proportional to the strength of the attacks it was receiving. The Tenth Peak was one of the largest mountains within the Ye Sect, and an entire barrier protecting it would need at least a hundred spi

217 - Zhi Ruo vs Zhi Ruo“It is a trap,” Ye Mo could not help but say.Both Wu Anjian and Ye Muran turned to him.Ye Mo continued as his expression grew darker, “I think the goal of the Demonic Faction is not to kill everyone within the Ye Sect, but rather, to use high-level cultivators as living sacrifices to summon something.”Zhi Ruo stepped back from the frontlines and faced Ye Mo. “What makes you say that, Tenth Elder?”“Though I am not sure what their final goal is, at the very least, within Ye Sect, all they had done so far is to release spiritual beasts with the highest strength of a Core Formation cultivator. But think about it—all the casualties were at the same level too. If

218 - Zhi Ruo vs Zhi Ruo (2)Ye Mo quickly gave Zhi Ruo a rundown of his deduction.Zhi Ruo continued slashing the spiritual beasts coming their way. "If what you said is true, then that meant we shouldn't focus on survival, rather, then the Nascent Divinity cultivators should put our attention on escaping the Ye Sect--no, the Leaf City.""That would be impossible, Third Princess," Ye Anjian butt in. "You are from the imperial capital, that is why you do not understand the thoughts of us locals.""Is pride more important than life, Wu Family Patriarch?""Leaf City is the place where our ancestors are born, and this would remain the home for our future descendants as well. This is where our families and friends live. It is impossible for any of us to simply abandon those who are weaker for us. If we do not stand against the Demonic Faction, everyone else will die."

219 - Zhi Ruo vs Zhi Ruo (3)“If our sons and daughters, if our disciples and members, if all of them are dead, what is the purpose of living? Why do we even bother cultivating if we cannot protect our own people?”Zhi Ruo could not reply to what Wu Anjian said. His words were not entirely wrong, but to survive, sometimes there was a need to let go of your values. She turned towards Ye Mo instead.“Elder Ye, do you share the same thoughts as the Wu Family Patriarch? Should we remain to protect the low-level cultivators of your sect, even if it meant they would die anyway once the strength of the Nascent Divinity Cultivators were sacrificed by the Demonic Faction?”Ye Mo stared at her, and his gaze passed the surrounding spiritual beasts whose number

220 - Zhi Ruo vs Zhi Ruo (4) Zhi Ruo gave Ye Mo a suspicious look, but nevertheless, she chose to trust Ye Mo. After all, this was his sect, and the one with the most disastrous outcome if low-level cultivators were sacrificed was no doubt the Ye Sect, as all of their disciples, the future of the sect, would perish. She studied the surroundings of the Tenth Peak. Since there were three Nascent Divinity Cultivators protecting their group, they had efficiently cleared the area from the berserk spiritual beasts. The foot of the mountain—the entrance of the peak in particular—was basically littered with burnt corpses of the insect-type monsters. Wu Anjian did not want their innate poison to contaminate the lands, and from the get-go, he had been the one who had achieved the most kills due to his elemental affinity bei

What kind of sword cultivator could possibly lose her sword, which they treasured more than their own lovers?The people were more inclined to believe that the Zhi Ruo fighting beside them all along was the real Third Princess and Saintess of the Ming Yue Sect.However, aside from that and the fact that she looked like she had gone through a terribly bitter fight, the newcomer looked exactly like the woman standing beside Ye Mo, from the jade pins on her head down to the embroidered shoes she wore. The sound of her voice was the same—she was also at the early stage of the Nascent Divinity Realm and even the qi she’s emitting was the Third Princess’s sword qi!Ye Mo distanced hi

222 - I Want You to Stay (1)As Old Woman Xia was sneak attacked by a sword from behind, she was unable to dodge and was severely wounded. The true Zhi Ruo—the one who arrived with an injured arm—hurried towards her.“Third Elder is alive, but she lost consciousness,” she said after checking the old woman’s vital signs. “I don’t think she can enter combat even if she wakes up.”Hearing those words, Ye Mo, Wu Anjian and the Third Elder’s alchemy students were all able to sigh in relief. However, it was short-lived.If the true Zhi Ruo didn’t arrive, none of them would have realized that a switch had occurred. When did it happen? Had the fake Zhi Ruo been with them from the start, within the pavilion where the joint

223 - I Want You to Stay (2)“Ruo’er will stay as well,” someone said after several seconds of heavy silence.Everyone turned towards the young woman limping to stand beside Ye Mo. Zhi Ruo held a stubborn expression that seemingly said she would rather be killed than leave. Wu Anjian no longer insisted as he felt that persuading the princess would yield no results. He had to be rational.With a sorry look on his face, he took off with the unconscious Ye Beixia and Wu Xuan’er in each of his arms, together with the remaining Ye Sect disciples. Those who were trapped inside the guardian formation of the Tenth Peak each had indescribable expressions. At this point in time, they were nothing but spectators to a play, small fishes waiting for their turn in the chopping board.

Scholar Rai held the ancient scroll between two calloused fingers, studying the faded ink with narrowed eyes. The papyrus was brown with age, the content written in a verbose and grand manner, as was usually the case with writings from hundreds of years ago. Its importance could not be translated into words. In fact, it surprised him that his lord father managed to keep these imperial treasures away from the capital.It had taken him twice the usual time to understand the runes. He found himself impressively overwhelmed not only by the sheer historic importance of these documents, but also because the prophecies spoke of the expiration of the bloods of the Old.He feared that the first of the visions written have come into passing.The scrolls he found were written by the last of the true prophets, during a time of historic darkness, the Legaliath Cross, back when magic was free to be harnessed by every man and woman and child.

"You find this funny, Silver?" This was the first time that Lakas had directly addressed her in a conversation. She could not help but shudder at the slight amusement that colored his normally stern voice. "He could have killed you."Her smile widened.Lakas almost mirrored her expression, but then when he realized that he had spectators in the form of the other three girls inside her cage, he erased any trace of emotion from his face. "The four of you are currently part of the most prized collection of the emperor, but let me warn you. Not all warriors in this camp think the same as I do. You girls are precious, but you are replaceable. Think before you act."As soon as he left, the oldest of the girls, a beauty with curly flaxen hair and foliage green eyes scooted close to her. It was the first time anyone attempted to communicate with her. Most of the time, she was simply left alone in her corner of the cage. "That man just protected you, Silver," Green Eyes laughed excitedly. "He

The survivors were placed in metal cages where the heathens could openly leer at them, appreciating the goods before they were sold. The young warrior called Lakas looked incredibly silly with parchment and quill in his bloody hands, and his annoyed look did not escape her when he was tasked to make an inventory of the slaves."Name?"While the prisoners around her sobbed and wailed for their losses, Enna merely tried to make herself small in a corner. She never spoke. She never raised her head.Lakas snatched her chin. He was scowling. "Name?"When she refused to answer, the bald man behind Lakas growled before backhanding her. "Stupid girl! Tell us your name so that we can be done with this sham and leave!"Elbows shaking, she sat up, gazing at them with tired silvery eyes. Still, she did not open her mouth."You – "Lakas stopped the man with a wave. "Drop it. I will simply write Silver."The man smirked. "Yes, a name befitting a horse."They could call her whatever they want. Why

*She woke up to a strangled sound akin to an injured animal.Crying.Someone was crying.As the sound grew louder, she stirred, slowly, groaning due to the escalating pain at the base of her skull. Opening her eyes, she saw bloody bodies around her. Bile rose, and she emptied the contents of her stomach into the scarlet snow. After a few fuzzy seconds, she realized with relief that most of the bodies around her appeared to be moving. Bloody, but alive. She profusely thanked the good Spirits that there were people who still lived, despite the nagging thought that most of them would have preferred to have died along with their dignity and families.Her arms and feet were bound. Bound with thick ropes. She tried to stretch her legs, grasping too late that she was merely a stride away from the big fire that her captors made.She flinched from the pain.It was the same kind of burning pain that paralyzed her before she blacked out.It was also her first memory.

The heathens burned the temples. They attacked the farms. They destroyed everything from tiny peasant homes to historical monuments more than hundreds of years old. People who resisted died. People who surrendered died. The snow-clad village of Cardia was stained red. Blood of men. Blood of women. Blood of children.The enemy's arrival was silent; their attack sudden. The sleepy spell brought by winter on the border village was broken by animalistic screams of pain. Cries of people burning were everywhere. There were shrieks of villagers dying. By midnight, half of Cardian population was slain mercilessly by the bronze-skinned men covered in wolf pelts.The invaders relished the sight of the pale people bleeding, enjoying every slash of sword and arrow released as the village burned. They meant to annihilate every Northerner. They were humans on bloodlust — hungry predators on the hunt.They proudly called themselves the sons of Summer. The Cardians called them heathens from the Sout

Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (3)A fair-skinned human girl no taller than the height of his waist, wearing a satin robe that was neither stained by blood or mud. Big eyes on a small face, perfectly arranged black hair in a style of braided bun, delicately balanced features that indicated she would surely grow into a gorgeous young lady given a few years.Her adorable appearance made one have an urge to pinch her chubby cheeks, and if there were any females around, Ye Mo felt that they would fawn over how the little girl looked like a beautiful living, breathing doll.‘And it’s not a sight that should be seen in the middle of a battlefield.’Ye Mo tried to open his mouth to say something, but he remained unable to utter even a single word.‘Dangerous.’It didn’t make sense, but that was what his intuition was telling Ye Mo. His body wasn’t responding—there was no flight impulse, no, there wasn’t even an attempt to fight against the girl, even if it’s a last act of survi

She felt like staying would give her a huge headache, but she was tied up by all the connections she made in this city.The Qing Blessed Lands had officially entered the state of war.Though communication was crippled, Little Yin was able to overhear the intelligence gathered by the hidden experts brought by the Purple Plumed General.Immortal Wuwei’s timely arrival managed to save Ye Sect and the entire Leaf City, but that wasn’t the same with the other cities. Even the news about the situation in the imperial capital could not be found.That little pretty boy, Qing Wu You, wanted to return to check on his family.

264 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (1) “Uncle, are you all right?” It was Ye Hua who first noticed that Ye Mo was acting strange. The man’s eyes were looking at the people in the room as if they were people he had not seen for a long time. There was recognition in his gaze, as well as a kind of dissonance. “Huh? Yeah…yeah…” After staying unconscious for days and almost crossing the fine line of life and death, it was reasonable for Ye Mo to be in a daze, and everyone thought so as well. But Ye Hua’s intuition was telling him that his uncle was not just confused, but actually not in a normal state of mind. However, he decided to stay quiet. Because he felt that Little Yin had something to do with this. The young man’s eyes glanced in the direction of the little girl, who brought them all towards the room saying that Ye Mo should be waking up soon. Ye Hua remembered that incident several days ago, that eerie darkness that made his soul tremble. A power that could oppose n

263 – Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (5)‘I died?’Ye Mo tried to remember the last thing that happened to him, but only fragmented pieces of images appeared in his mind. Confusion was the only thing he could feel aside from the head-splitting pain, though he was trying to calm himself and follow the words of the little girl to embrace his memories.‘Since I died, shouldn’t I undergo samsara? Why am I seeing the memories of my former reincarnations?’What happened to him before he appeared and walked around that endless darkness?No, wait, what was he doing before the little girl appeared?He was swinging his sword against—The little girl frowned when she saw the images swimming inside his mind.“Outers.”Gaaaasp!She reached out her small chubby hands and touched the crown of his head, and she channeled her spiritual energy inside his body, focusing it on erasing those images that did not belong to him or to this era.“You are in so much pain because you took a peek at
