Chapter 1146: Trust

Sigma_ SSins

Deep in the steamy area that led to the other territory, although Shi Yan didn鈥檛 release his Soul Consciousness to sense, he still felt something wrong.

Squinting, he focused on sensing. Vaguely, he found the vibe coming through the place of thick steam to resonate his acupuncture points...

The negative energy inside his acupuncture points started to spin and become restless. They seemed to want to jump out of his body and escape his control. This feeling annoyed him a lot. He instinctively felt that something dangerous was hiding behind the barrier.

Cang Yun, Cecilia, and Shang Ying Yue were surprised when they heard him. They turned to look at him, their eyes asking.

As Mo Fou and Wu Feng knew that Shi Yan could see the commotions of earth and heaven here, they didn鈥檛 dare to act rashly. The frowned and looked at him as they expected him to give more details.

"What鈥檚 wrong?" Audrey鈥檚 bold brows furrowed, a mocking gleam sparkling in her eyes. "My Soul Consciousness isn鈥檛 shackled here. I can send it over there and check. I can see the situation behind the steamy area. When I asked Cang Yun to break the barrier, I鈥檝e checked it. Nothing is strange there."

"Kid, don鈥檛 try to impress people by making things up!" Fuller shouted.

Fuller was a Dark Spirit warrior, an expert from the high-level star area. In the territory of the vast forest, Fuller used to be a leader of the warriors from different star areas. He had led them to fight against Yu Jia. Before Audrey appeared, he was the leader of this territory.

However, during the battle with Yu Jia, Fuller had fallen into the lower hand. Yu Jia had hunted him down fiercely.

Until Audrey appeared all of a sudden...

When Fuller鈥檚 team was so helter-skelter, Audrey appeared and brought with her four members of the Imperial Dark Tribe. After one operation, she had led them to overturn the situation. After all, she had led them to eliminate Yu Jia鈥檚 team.

After that battle, Audrey had won people鈥檚 trust and respect. Fuller wasn鈥檛 an exception. He had given up his leadership position and listened to Audrey. Perhaps, because Fuller liked Audrey, he had maintained and reminded people of her position everywhere.

Seeing Shi Yan dare to question Audrey鈥檚 presumption, Fuller jumped out and looked at Shi Yan with a dark and harsh face, "Can you see what is happening behind that barrier?"

Shi Yan shook his head.

"Then don鈥檛 talk nonsense!" Fuller snorted, his eyes raking through the others. "During the past three years, we鈥檝e been under Audrey鈥檚 leadership to fight Yu Jia. It has been three years and Audrey has never made a wrong assumption. Every time, she鈥檚 precisely correct!"

The warriors who had followed Audrey nodded, their face respectful and admiring.

Apparently, within three years after Audrey had shown up, she had used her special abilities to earn trust from all of her warriors. No one would doubt her even once.

If she wouldn鈥檛 make a mistake... Shi Yan was the one to be blamed then.

Fatty Cang Yun frowned. He looked at Shi Yan strangely. Just like Audrey, he could see the life energy fluctuation behind the barrier. When he left this area to go to the forest territory, he had checked once and right when he arrived here, he had checked it again. The situation hadn鈥檛 changed a bit.

Thus, Cang Yun had also doubted Shi Yan who could be startled because of something trivial. He didn鈥檛 consider Shi Yan鈥檚 words.

Sha Zhao, Mo Fou, and Wu Feng heard Audrey, Cang Yun, and Fuller discussing that there wouldn鈥檛 be anything dangerous behind the barrier; they finally eased their restless minds. They thought that Audrey wasn鈥檛 bound by the continent and she could see the change of earth and heaven energy too. Thus, Audrey could see what Shi Yan could see. Moreover, since Shi Yan didn鈥檛 tell them the details, they were more inclined to believe Audrey more.

"Open the barrier," Audrey didn鈥檛 mind Shi Yan anymore. She turned to Cang Yun and ordered.

Cang Yun shot Shi Yan a look. He didn鈥檛 take action but asked. "Are you sure there is something wrong?"

Shi Yan shook his head begrudgingly, "Just my premonition."

"Then it鈥檚 hard to convince the others." Cang Yun felt sorry. Right after that, he agilely dashed away. His stout body moved swiftly like a feather as he drilled into the white steam.

Cang Yun鈥檚 God Body disappeared into the steam. No one could see where he was heading. However, they all felt the sharp energy shockwaves rising deeply inside the mist. It seemed like the barrier was pierced through directly. No one knew what Cang Yun had done. However, they were all vigilant as now they knew that this Little Fatty wasn鈥檛 an ordinary warrior.

"Shi Yan. . ."

Cecilia let out a slight call. Just like Shang Ying Yue, she was standing by Shi Yan. They didn鈥檛 move even though the others had already taken action.

Right at this moment, Audrey, Fuller, and the other warriors had approached the steamy area. Mo Fou, Wu Feng, Jiao Shan, and Sha Zhao knitted their brows, throwing Shi Yan a glance before deciding to follow Audrey. They didn鈥檛 want to group with Shi Yan and the two women.

Because Audrey had just told them that Haig, Phelps, and Mia had entered the forest already. They were moving really fast to chase after them.

Mo Fou, Wu Feng, and the others were afraid that if they lingered, Haig, Phelps, and Mia would hunt them down shortly after. And in their thoughts, they assumed that Audrey was a level higher than Shi Yan in terms of sensing life energy fluctuation...

Since Audrey was the Princess of the Imperial Dark Tribe and the Imperial Dark Tribe was one of the Great Four Creatures: a truly strong race that could stand against the God Clan, they obviously thought that only Audrey could bring them hope. After they had joined Audrey鈥檚 team, Shi Yan鈥檚 weight in their eyes was reduced drastically.

"You trust me?" Shi Yan grinned. He wasn鈥檛 enraged at all. He looked at Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue. He seemed to be in a good mood.

"I used to fight shoulder by shoulder with you. I know how strong you are. Of course, I鈥檓 not as shallow as Mo Fou鈥檚 group." Cecilia smiled charmingly.

"You won鈥檛 shoot the arrow aimlessly." Shang Ying Yue鈥檚 voice was cold and clear. However, what she said warmed Shi Yan up. "Audrey is so self-righteous. It鈥檚 not true that she鈥檚 right in everything. Although the time you and I are together isn鈥檛 long, you have never failed me."

Shi Yan chuckled.

"What did you feel after all?" Cecilia put on a stern visage. She didn鈥檛 even lower her voice and just screamed.

Because at this moment, Audrey, Fuller, Mo Fou, Wu Feng, and the others had followed Cang Yun to the other side of the barrier. They disappeared one after another. Shortly after, there was no one left behind.

"Shi Yan! Come here!" Cang Yun was the last one staying by the barrier. He shouted through the thick mist.

"You should get there first. Don鈥檛 worry that I couldn鈥檛 get through the barrier afterward. I can open it later," Shi Yan frowned and pitched his voice.

"Okay. Hurry then." Cang Yun couldn鈥檛 see Shi Yan, so he just replied and then disappeared. His aura also vanished. He must have gone to another territory.

"I鈥檓 sorry I can鈥檛 tell you the details now," Shi Yan frowned and spoke to Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue, "If you believe me, don鈥檛 hurry to get there. Wait here for a while. When I鈥檓 sure that nothing strange is there, I will bring you in all together."

"I trust you anyway." Cecilia smiled. "I still want to count on you when we get into the Center. Of course, I will advance or step back with you."

Shang Ying Yue was franker. "I believe in my father鈥檚 keen eyes. If he stole the Guiding Fruit from my brother to give it to you, I鈥檓 sure he knew that you have something strange. My father has never wronged anybody. Although I don鈥檛 know what you have, I鈥檓 sure you鈥檙e not ordinary."

It was rare for Shang Ying Yue to talk this much.

Shi Yan smiled, explained nothing to the two women. He sat down cross-legged and released his co-soul to sense.

Haig, Phelps, and Mia were dashing toward them. Within one day and one night, they were going to reach this area. It wasn鈥檛 a long time, but it was enough for him to stay here and check the situation.

After verifying Haig鈥檚 direction, Shi Yan鈥檚 Soul Consciousness condensed into one flow and slowly entered the thick steam above the water. He carefully observed and tried to know if his premonition was true...

Shi Yan discolored in fright!

In that short moment, he stood up, his face stern, "I wasn鈥檛 wrong!"

Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue were astounded. They screamed, "What鈥檚 happened?"

"You two follow me. Remember to never leave my sides!" Shi Yan shouted resolutely and told the women. "You guys hold my hands, so you鈥檒l be alright!"

Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue studied him. Seeing him solemn, they hesitated for a while before raising their jade-like hands and clutching his sides. They leaned on him.

A sharp flow of space energy arose. Shi Yan brought the two women and tore the barrier like a sharp weapon that could break anything. They landed on the new territory and steadied themselves on a big island.

"Ohhh!"

"What鈥檚 going on?"

Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue screamed, their faces baffled as they looked at the area in front of them.

In front of them was a blood sea with murderous, wicked aura shooting up into the sky. Situated in the center of the bobbing blood sea was a bone-dripping white bone gravestone. It looked so evil and peculiar and it released waves of crazy, malignant energy.

Mo Fou, Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, Fuller, Audrey, and the others were swaying in the thick sea of blood. They were fighting against each other around the gravestone. The thick scent of blood filled the entire place.

Besides Audrey and Cang Yun who were nervous but managed to stay relatively calm, the others were fighting against each other. Their eyes reflected their bloodthirsty desire. Evidently, they would lose their mind and fall into bedevilment.

Audrey and Cang Yun looked calm. But they were actually attacking the gravestone as they knew that it was the key of this formation. They wanted to break that stone as soon as possible.

However, whenever they tried to approach the gravestone, Mo Fou, Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, and the others would dash towards them from everywhere and risk their lives to stop them. The two couldn鈥檛 do anything to break the stone.

The thick blood sea... the bobbing gravestone... All were strange but they didn鈥檛 see the enemies.

The situation was developed at the most dangerous point.
