Chapter 53.2: A Woman Like A Demoness
Qing Yu was not all that bothered towards the series of events, her long slender fingers rubbing the number token she held in her hand. She suddenly raised her eyes up to look outside the palace hall. It was not known from when a sliver of blackish purple mist came to form over the both mysterious and beautiful looking blood red moon. It was just very faint, and not really easily noticeable.
She seemed to have become separated from her surroundings, to see everything before her from a third person's perspective.
The exceptionally slow moving competition suddenly ended very quickly like it had been fed with a speed hastening elixir, and the number three hundred and sixty eight that Qing Yu held in her hand seemed to have been completely forgotten, not called out at all from beginning to end.
Things that were so clearly just right in front of her became very far away, the ecstatic cries and cheers of the people surrounding her a hubbub of noises.
"Little Bei." Qing Yu creased up her brows and called out to the youth beside her. However, there was no response from him, the expression of the youth highly excitedly as his eyes looked forward towards the arena platform, his mouth seemingly shouting something, like he had been possessed.
It looked like everyone else were in the same state, but she seemed to have been isolated from all of this.
"Little Burrow….." Qing Yu called out to the weapons spirit inside her, but discovered that the golden haired youth seemed to be in a groggy daze, looking like he had no more strength left.
"You want to know what happened? Come with me….." A hazy voice that sounded like it came over the edge of the horizon rang out beside her ear. She instinctively turned her head to look and saw a human figure wrapped in a black hooded cape standing in front of the doors of the palace hall. The person's face could not be seen and by the time she had turned to look, the figure was already turning to leave.
Qing Yu went on to follow the figure outside as everything around her continued on, not a single person noticing that she had walked out from there at all, nor had anyone even seemed to have seen the hooded figure at all.
It was at that moment that Qing Ye Li broke free from that mysterious dimension. He had just managed to regain his senses when a figure in white passed right before his eyes. An unexplainable sense of familiarity hit him very strongly. He subconsciously turned his head to look but could only see that figure passing fleetingly through the doors, and then disappeared from sight.
Devilry's afoot when things take an abnormal turn. The way someone had been able to trap several hundred people within another dimension without anyone realizing a thing was definitely not the handiwork of anyone from this continent.
The green eyes then narrowed up dangerously. [Who could possibly dare to come down to a lower realm to commit such a treacherous atrocity! ? Aren't they afraid that they will be punished under the interdimensional laws! ?]
He needed to unravel this sealed up dimension quickly. Otherwise, if they were trapped in it for too long, these people would not be able to come out from it forever.
The figure in front maintained a distance not too far nor too near, as if intentionally waiting for her. It was until they came to a tall towering building that the figure suddenly disappeared.
Qing Yu swept a measuring gaze around the unfamiliar surroundings and searched through her memory for a clue. She then came to realize that this place was where the Green Wave's Imperial Family came to pray and to make offerings to the Heavens, called the Barricaded Spirit Tower. It was said that enshrined within the tower, was the spirit body of an ancestor who holds incomparably profound cultivation that the Imperial Family worshipped.
The Barricaded Spirit Tower was painstakingly constructed by a reclusive sage back then and it possessed very strong defensive powers with arrays set up within, protecting it from damage even if it was struck by powerful attacks.
The long narrow eyes grew wary. [They had….. intentionally led her here?]
"Heh heh heh….. I really wouldn't have been able to tell, that a mere young tiny little lass like you is actually an skilled expert hiding such strong powers."
A bone chilling cackling sounded out from a ear stinging coarse voice rang out behind her.
Qing Yu turned around in a flash and standing up high atop the pointed peak of the tower, were two silent figures, one tall and one short. They were both wearing loose and wide black hooded capes, the corners of their clothes fluttering lightly under the night breeze, and Qing Yu's eyes instinctively narrowed.
[Those two people….. No, maybe they could not be termed as people.]
As under one of those hooded capes, it could clearly be seen that it was a skeleton!
