Chapter 150 Roar Shakes the Mountains and Rivers
Ye Fan was shocked, seeing Ji Ziyue in the distant. She was sweetly smiling, but her face was completely pale, her red lips carrying a trace of blood. She was standing next to a pool, faintly trembling.
“How have you come here?”
She was the same as ever. Despite possessing severe wounds, she still smiled, a slight dimple appearing on her cheek.
“Have you also been pursued by the Peacock King?” Ye Fan walked up to er.
“I did meet him…” She laughed, but her mouth suddenly overflowed with blood, her face becoming even paler. Her originally bright eyes were becoming a bit dim now. Shaking, she collapsed into the pool.
Ji Ziyue’s wounds were very severe, causing Ye Fan shock. Her pulse was very weak and her heartbeat was extremely slow, almost stopping. Her organs had all been damaged, and to be able to even survive like this was already amazing.
Ye Fan used his divine energy to evaporate the sweat off her clothes, then carrying her into woods, arriving at a cliff before taking out the pure jade bottle. Her tipped some of the divine spring’s water into her mouth. The water immediately turned into Life Qi that rushed into her body.
The divine spring water from the nine sacred mountains possessed inconceivable spiritual effects, practically capable of reviving the dead. He could now sense that Ji Ziyue’s condition had stabilized.
Her eyes were tightly shut and her body was shivering. She muttered in her sleep. Ye Fan was unable to make out what she was saying.
“Don’t kill my big brother…” Within her muttering she suddenly released a loud yell.
An hour later, Ji Ziyue’s long eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. She wanted to sit up, but she was unable to.
“Your wounds are very deep. Although your condition is stable now, but it’s not advisable for you to force it.” Ye Fan supported her, letting her rest her back against a soft vine.
“It really was frightening…” Ji Ziyue seemed to have some lingering trauma.
“Are you talking about the Peacock King?” Ye Fan naturally linked this to the almighty member of the demon race.
“It’s him.” Ji Ziyue nodded. “Little brat, why did you noiselessly leave? I chased after you for over a thousand kilometers before finally giving up.”
“If I didn’t leave, your big brother would have turned me into a corpse to study.”
Ji Ziyue lightly smiled, saying, “What? Don’t worry, as long as you come with me, it will be completely safe for you to go to the Ji Family. No one will make trouble for you.”
Ye Fan’s heart was moved when he heard this, feeling that Ji Ziyue was definitely not ordinary. Maybe she was an important member of the Ji Family.
“The Peacock King truly was too powerful…” Ji Ziyue was worried, saying, “I don’t know if my big brother managed to escape this calamity.”
“He even attacked you? How did you escape with your life?”
The Peacock King’s power was unfathomable, and even the ancestors protecting Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue were all killed, unable to resist. They were just like blades of grass in front of him, unable to withstand a single blow.
“He was too horrifying, his power overflowing the heavens…” Even now Ji Ziyue was still traumatized. They had wanted to open a Domain Gate and traverse the void, but the Peacock King used a single finger to crush space, forcing everyone out.
At that time, people’s bodies and souls were completely annihilated. If Ji Ziyue didn’t possess a secret treasure on her , there was no way she could have lived.
At the critical moment, the Ji Family’s dispatched experts had found them, otherwise there’s no way there would have been a single survivor.
Even so, none were able to block the Peacock King. He was invincible, and with just one roar he crushed quite a few people into bloody mists.
“That is…too inconceivable!” Ye Fan was thoroughly shocked. Such a powerful figure was too frightening, his power incalculable.
“He is comparable to mighty ancients. As for how powerful he truly is, it’s hard to say clearly…”
Those experts had only delayed for a short time before being falling apart. But it was only due to this that Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue had had time to escape.
Hearing all this, Ye Fan was speechless. Ji Ziyue’s position was definitely very extraordinary. Even at a critical time like that the Ji Family’s experts would still sacrifice their lives to give her a chance to flee.
“The Peacock King was one with heaven and earth, his roar shaking mountains and rivers, his voice like a raging wave, even shattering a huge mountain!”
Ye Fan felt his heart jump. Such a might was beyond his imagination.
“My body’s divine body possesses a fantastic might, but it was completely suppressed, and in the face of the Peacock King he was weaker than even a mortal.”
The might of an existence on par with the mighty ancients caused people to feel complete disbelief.
Ji Haoyue was extremely powerful as Ye Fan had once personally witnessed. He had blown through Greater Demons like they nothing more than grass. But even someone as powerful as him was nothing in front of the Peacock King.
“Heaven and man together, controlling everything, capable of even bluckign the stars and grabbing the moon…” Ji Ziyue was still nervous now, shivering in nervousness.
“How did you escape?”
“My big brother and I split up, so he decided to chase my big brother…” Ji Ziyue was very worried. An almighty like him was unstoppable, and even Ji Haoyue with his divine body that had cultivated three secret realms was completely unable to resist.
“That news hasn’t passed around, and I believe your big brother wouldn’t die so easily.” Saying this, Ye Fan then suspiciously asked, “Why haven’t you returned to the Ji Family, instead ending up here?”
“The Peacock King might not have bothered with me, but there are others trying to kill me…” Ji Ziyue had been chased by others, and that was how she had obtained her serious wounds.
In her hurry, she had used a small sect’s Domain Gate to traverse the void, arriving here. She didn’t know how to carve Dao Glyphs so she was unable to control what location she was now in.
“How coincidental…,” Ye Fan muttered.
“It wasn’t a coincidence. I left a trace on your body. After arriving in this area, I slowly searched for you.”
“What, you left a trace on me?”
“I didn’t have any bad intentions. What are you getting so mad about? Back then I saw you act so strangely so I knew you were about to leave. In preparation I left a trace on you. But the result was that your ran too fast and I was unable to catch up. After the distance grew too great I was unable to sense it.”
Ye Fan carefully sensed his body, in the end finding an anomaly. “Just what kind of trick did you leave?”
“Search for it slowly…” Ji Ziyue lightly laughed, but she quickly once more became worried. “Big brother Haoyue might really not be able to escape this calamity this time.”
Suddenly, Ye Fan was startled, seeing a gate appear in the sky with several cultivators rushing out.
“Those are the ones trying to kill me!” Ji Ziyue shouted, “They opened a Domain Gate. Quick, run!”
Chi!
A terrifying bolt of lightning descended down on them. Thos people were very decisive, attacking them with divine abilities as soon as they saw them.
Ye Fan picked up Ji Ziyue and dodged to the side. The silver-colored lightning pierced into the mountain, stones exploding everywhere.
BOOM!
A huge pagoda appeared in the sky, enlarging and crushing down on them.
Ye Fan’s expression immediately changed. People capable of forming pagodas, bells, or cauldrons were definitely not ordinary. They were most likely very powerful.
That pagoda in the sky was only five levels, but it was as heavy as a mountain, suppressing them to the point that it was hard to breath, filling the air with a frightening fluctuation.
Ye Fan carried Ji Ziyue and quickly fled into the distance. These people were too powerful and would most likely crush him in a battle.
The old madman’s footwork was a kind of supreme secret art containing inconceivable power. His speed reached his peak, and in just a short time they were already five kilometers away.
He didn’t stop, continuing to flee until they were over fifty kilometers away. “Those people are definitely not ordinary…”
“They’re all very powerful, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to flee.”
“They don’t seem like people from the demon race.” Ye Fan had a doubtful expression.
“There are people who want to take this chance to kill me and big brother Haoyue.”
“Is it Ji Biyue?”
“No. This trouble is greater than she could cause. There’s definitely someone in my family who doesn’t want the divine body to survive. Even if big brother Haoyue can escape from the Peacock King, he’ll probably still be in danger. There might even be experts in the family who will secretly attack, taking this opportunity to kill him and pin it on the demon race.”
Ji Ziyue might not be very old, but she was very smart. She quickly realized a couple worst-case scenarios.
“They should be focused on Ji Haoyue then. Why are they after you? Do you also have the divine body?”
“There’s no way I could have the divine body…” Ji Ziyue didn’t say much. She pondered a bit and then looked at Ye Fan and teased him, “Little brat, your body possesses many secrets. What is that green copper? Why is your body capable of resisting the divine body’s attack? How did you learn the old madman’s footwork? Why did you have to flee the Taixuan Sect so urgently?”
This girl was truly too lively and weird. She was obviously trying to change the subject, trying to unearth Ye Fan’s secrets.
Suddenly, a golden light flew across the sky, released dozens of powerful lightning bolts.
“It’s the Lightning Bird.” Ji Ziyue frowned, suddenly exclaiming, “Crap, it’s the Phoenix Crown Lightning Bird! It’s an extremely powerful beast. We have to flee. We can’t intrude on its territory.”
That Lightning Bird was completely golden and covered in lightning. Its head had a faint bulging similar to a phoenix crown, appearing extraordinary out of the ordinary.
This was a powerful aberrant bird, not at all equal with the Lightning Bird. With its powerful attacks, the absolute majority of all cultivators would have to retreat far away when they saw it.”
“Fortunately it hasn’t noticed us.” Ji Ziyue rejoiced inside.
“Most likely the Phoenix Crown Lightning Bird’s lair is up ahead. Maybe we can exploit this to our advantage and get rid of those people trying to kill you.
“Nice, good idea.”
The two of them advanced to the side, sure enough seeing a bird’s nest deep within the mountains. On top a huge ancient tree, the nest held four golden sparkling bird eggs as large as a human’s head.
“This kind of bird is extremely rare. It’s capable of continuous evolution. If I could snatch one of those eggs and raise it, that would be amazing.” Ji Ziyue regretfully sighed.
She didn’t actually dare to so, leaving with Ye Fan, leaving sufficient tracks behind them before soaring into the sky.
Not long after, those powerful cultivators entered deep within the mountains to search for them as they followed their tracks. They carefully searched around, feeling that Ji Ziyue should be hiding herself somewhere near her.
After a long time, they finally found a huge ancient tree.
“A bird nest…crap! This should be the Phoenix Crown Lightning Bird’s lair! This kind of aberrant bird definitely can’t be provoked. If it thinks we’re trying to steal its eggs, it’ll definitely kill us!”
There were four eggs within the nest, the eggs shining with lightning.
But they had already hesitated too long. The Phoenix Crown Lightning Bird returned, charging down and attacking them.
“Quickly leave, this kind of aberrant bird is the most powerful. If we’re trapped here, we’ll definitely be unable to escape!”
However, the Phoenix Crown Lightning Bird had already returned and there was no way it would let them off.
Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue watched from the distance. They didn’t stop, quickly fleeing further.
The second day, Ye Fan saw a sixteen year old youth in the mountains, dressed in simple clothes and appearing extremely gentle. He was somewhat thin and frail, appearing very delicate. His eyes were bright and clear, his soft black hair fluttering, appearing very spiritual.
This youth gave them a feeling of a refreshing spring deep within the mountains, a natural and cleansing feeling.
Ye Fan was shocked to see someone here, asking, “Little brother, please can you tell us where we are?”
This youth calmly stood in front of them, his soft black hair fluttering in the breeze, his eyes incomparably clear. “This is the Xixia mountain range within Jin nation.”
“Little brother, you look very refined and natural, so are you a cultivator?” Ye Fan smiled and asked.
“Yes.” The youth nodded.
Behind him, Ji Ziyue’s face was completely pale, her voice shuddering as she said, “Little brat…quickly flee!”
Ye Fan looked back and saw her face full of fear, immediately feeling that something was wrong. He quickly withdrew.
“What, who is he?”
“He is…the Peacock King!” Ji Ziyue’s voice was shuddering, her previous liveliness gone, only fear remaining.
“What?!” Ye Fan was completely shocked. This youth in front of him was the Peacock King? This truly gave people a sudden shock.
“Peacock King, you are an almighty existence standing at the peak, looking down on all below the heavens. Don’t randomly kill innocents. Let him go. This has nothing to do with him.” Ji Ziyue walked up and pleaded to let Ye Fan leave.
The demon race’s almighty Peacock King’s might towered over the southern region. Eight hundred years ago he had already been invincible. Back then, even the Flickering Light Sacred Master was unable to do anything to him. There were few people who knew how long he had lived for.
According to the world’s guess, it had been at least two thousand years by the time he took human form. That would already be in the Qin and Han dynasties of Earth.
But this little youth only appeared around sixteen years old! His eyes were as clear as water without any ancient feeling, making it difficult for anyone to link this appearance to the Peacock King.
Ji Ziyue once spoke of his supreme power and how he had merged with heaven and earth, his roar shaking mountains and rivers, his voice like a raging wave, shattering a mountain peak.
To Ye Fan, the Peacock King was an imposing mountain, a wild hegemon without equal. He had never ever expected him to be such a tender youth, appearing just like a clear spring from deep within the mountains, a gentle breeze from within a holy land, or a snow lotus growing within upon snowy peak.
Thinking back to how he had called the Peacock King ‘little brother,’ even having the intention of patting his head, Ye Fan immediately felt his scalp turn numb. This was a supreme existence whose power overflowed the heavens, an existence on the level of the mighty ancients.
