1522 Like seeing an old friend(Chapter preview)

Sima You Yue and the other two stood at the mountain top. Because of Wu Lingyu's barrier, the spirit beasts below didn't realise that there were people standing on the mountain top.

"The massacre below is still really terrible." Feng Zhi Xing didn't have a single shred of compassion for the people and spirit beasts pouring out below.

"If you want to snatch treasures, you have to pay with your life." Wu Lingyu said, "Those spirit beasts were not normal, and we were not the only ones who noticed it. The others had definitely realised it as well. If not for their greed, if they had left earlier, they would not have ended up this way.

He had no compassion for them either.

Sima You Yue pursed her lips. The attitudes of these people were not completely inexcusable. Who didn't like treasure! If it was not because she had obtained a lot earlier on, she would definitely have joined in!

"Since these ancient spirit beasts have emerged, I'm afraid that it will cause unrest to the entire continent." She sighed.

"Has there not been enough unrest in the continent recently?" Feng Zhi Xing's eyes reflected his worry.

The continent was too chaotic of late. The massacre released by the Sky Splitter Devil Sword had yet to complete, the secretive black robed men were creating pandemonium in the central regions and even undead started to appear later on. Now, there was the emergence of these ancient spirit beasts. If it was not killing the human race, then it was humans who were going to kill the spirit beasts.

In any case, there was only one word to describe their current circumstances, CHAOS!

"Will the spirit beasts here go out and kill others?" Sima You Yue was a little worried.

"Can't say for sure right now." Feng Zhi Xing said, "The ancient spirit beasts who have emerged aren't that many. I'm guessing that even if they wanted to take over the continent, they wouldn't have the ability now. Maybe they will hibernate for a moment to look for even more ancient spirit beasts."

"You're saying that there are other ancient mines?" Sima You Yue's eyes grew large.

"They definitely exist, but we know very little right now." Wu Lingyu saw the way she was acting and couldn't help but hook her nose.

"Do those spirit beasts know?" Sima You Yue asked.

"It's not like I'm one of those spirit beasts, how would I know whether they know or not?" Wu LIngyu said, "I'm just guessing."

"I'm hoping that they will go into hibernation and give the Sima Clan some time to catch their breath." Sima You Yue said.

The strength of the Sima Clan was completely incomparable to the top in the entire continent. They happened to obtain the clan's inheritance and the complete spirit skill. However, it was not enough to deal with these spirit beasts.

Those spirit beasts were still out for blood and roaring. Some of the stone statues that were in their interspatial rings reacted and many shattered on the spot. Ancient spirit beasts appeared within the pile of treasures.

Thinking about the ores in her Spirit Pagoda along with the cries of the spirit beasts from outside, she was extremely lucky that she had placed them inside her Spirit Pagoda so they wouldn't been affected by these.

She had so many spirit beasts that if they all came out, it would be a huge calamity.

"Let's go." Feng Zhi Xing had no confidence to deal with so many spirit beasts. He had already contacted the men from the Integral Moon Palace and wanted to link up with them before leaving the mine.

"Boom-"

The mountain top beside them immediately exploded and the human-faced apes from before flew out with a few silhouettes.

The huge attack from the battle caused Sima You Yue, who was within the barrier, to experience the force of an earth-shattering and boundless power. She was saying that it was no wonder that they were the talents from the secret clans.

Xuan Qiu He, Eastern Lai Li and Northern Du Hao separated into three different directions and surrounded the human-faced ape in the centre. The three of them had a mutual understanding down and placed down their previous grudges. They had to first deal with this trouble right before their eyes.

However, even if the trio worked together, they were not able to match up to the human-faced ape. After exchanging a few blows, they were all thrown onto the ground.

They had forced the fight into a stalemate earlier, and had even gained an advantage using the terrain.

"Mi Er!" Sima You Yue cried out loudly, then turned Mi Er into a white rope and flung it out. She caught Xuan Qiu He, preventing him from falling on the ground.

However, Northern Du Hao and Eastern Lai Li were not so lucky. They fell directly on the ground and it was a good thing that they landed on the dead bodies before and had spirit energy to protect themselves. Otherwise, they would have ended up half dead.

Eastern Lai Li saw Sima You Yue rescue Xuan Qiu He and her eyes filled with rage.

They could be considered as acquaintances, so why didn't she save her?

The human-faced ape saw that someone had interfered and turned around to face Sima You Yue. When he saw what she looked like, he was obviously stunned.

"No, no way." He muttered as he shook his head.

Kill her!

Eastern Lai Li supported herself with one hand and she looked at Sima You Yue with a murderous gaze.

This woman, she actually didn't save her. She deserved to die!

Sima You Yue was rather puzzled towards the human-faced ape's reaction. It was looking at her as if it recognised her.

"Who are you?" The human-faced ape stared at Sima You Yue as it asked.

"Sima You Yue." Sima You Yue replied. She watched the human-faced ape, and the other party was visibly shocked when it heard her name.

"Sima You Yue… Sima You Yue.." The human-faced ape took a step backwards.

This reaction. Could it be that there was someone in the past who had the same name?

"You can leave. I will not kill you." Human-faced ape said.

"He and his clansmen can leave too." Sima You Yue said.

"You are not her. Do not take a mile when given an inch!" The human-faced ape saw that this human dared to give it conditions and was rather incensed.

"Whether or not you agree, the result will be the same." Sima You Yue said.

She wanted to take Xuan Qiu He and leave. Even if it were him, he wouldn't be able to stop it.

Whether or not you agree, the result will be the same. If you let him go today, then I will owe you one.

Many years ago, it seemed to have heard her say similar words.

At that time, it had given her some respect and it was incredibly lucky for making that decision.

Although Sima You Yue had said it so confidently, if she were really to take the whole Xuan Qiu clan out, it would take quite a bit of effort.

However, the human-faced ape was obviously absent-minded again when heard what she said. Just as she was wondering what was going on in his mind, he suddenly spoke, "Alright, I will give you this bit of respect today."

Ah? He was so easy to talk to?

Just as she was still in a daze from the sudden turn in events, the human-faced ape cried out and the spirit beasts that were surrounding the Xuan Qiu clansmen in attack all stopped.

When they saw Xuan Qiu He on the mountaintop, Xuan Qiu Zhi and the others ran over.

"Those who are alive are all here." The human-faced ape said.

If they weren't here, that meant that they were dead.

"Thank you!" Sima You Yue didn't say that she would repay him in the future. She thought about how, if in the future she needed to suppress him, she would let him go.

However, the other party was so strong that she swallowed her words after thinking about it.

"Master, let's go." With the human-faced ape's pardon, they did not have to worry about the attacks of the ancient spirit beasts anymore.

"Young Miss You Yue." Northern Du Hao cried out to Sima You Yue, "Save us too."

Although Eastern Lai Li didn't speak, she also looked at Sima You Yue with a gaze filled with expectation.

Sima You Yue furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the human-faced ape, saying, "Can it be done?"

"No way!" The human-faced ape could sense that Sima You Yue didn't want to rescue these people, so he rejected her directly.

Sima You Yue shrugged, and said helplessly, "See, it's not that I don't want to save you. The other party doesn't want to. If I rescue you, we won't be able to leave."
