#585 - Chapter 585: The Master's Efforts

Meanwhile, after bidding farewell to Luo Yangtian, Ye Kong returned to逍遥 Peak and picked up his small fishing rod, ready to head out.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he was besieged by Ye Xiaoyao and Mu Qianqian.

It took Ye Kong a great deal of effort to pry apart the two clingy individuals.

Passing by 万花 Peak, he remembered Luo Yangtian's instructions and stepped inside.

He planned to say hello to Liu Ruyan and inform her that he would go ahead, and they could follow later.

However, upon hearing that Ye Kong wanted to leave first, Liu Ruyan vehemently refused.

What a joke! Did he really think going to another world was like going to the market to buy vegetables?

With Ye Kong's strength, he might be swatted away before even engaging in battle.

Therefore, Liu Ruyan stopped Ye Kong.

She also instructed her disciple, Su Qingwan, to bring out all the life-saving magical artifacts treasured by 万花 Peak for Ye Kong to choose from.

Liu Ruyan thought that even if Ye Kong was weak, with the help of these top-notch artifacts, he should be able to withstand the attacks for an hour or two.

By then, she and Yao Zidan would have dealt with their own enemies and could protect him.

Ye Kong glanced at the artifacts Liu Ruyan had laid out, a look of disdain on his face.

Even Erha wouldn't want these things.

Therefore, he bluntly said, "Senior Sister, I don't need these things. Let's set off as soon as possible."

"You don't need them?" Liu Ruyan looked at Ye Kong, then at the artifacts on the ground, and immediately understood.

Indeed, Ye Kong's aptitude was too weak. Once these artifacts were activated, his power couldn't handle it.

But how could Liu Ruyan, a woman of such shrewdness, be stumped?

Immediately, without further ado, she said, "If you can't use them, your disciples might be able to. Take them with you, just in case."

Ye Kong sighed and had no choice but to accept them, saying, "Senior Sister, this trip is to save my disciple. Could you please hurry up?"

Liu Ruyan was taken aback, then pretended to be anxious, saying, "But Junior Brother, how can we go save someone without equipment? We might end up losing ourselves."

"It's not too late to go when we're fully prepared."

Hearing this, Ye Kong thought it made sense, so he sat down and waited patiently.

However, feeling uneasy, he sent out a wisp of divine sense to scout out the other world first.

By chance, he happened to witness the scene of Lin Yaoyao looking into the abyss.

What Lin Yaoyao didn't know was that this abyss contained hidden mysteries.

It was filled with all kinds of desires. Everyone who looked down would see different desires.

One glance down would cause them to fall into it, unable to extricate themselves.

Those who jumped into the abyss had inadvertently looked into it and been bewitched by the desires within, never to return.

Lin Yaoyao used all her spiritual power. The fire phoenix and giant dragon phantoms both cried out in the air. She raised the spiritual sword in her hand and slashed the spreading vines at their roots.

"Huff—"

These vines were extremely stubborn. Lin Yaoyao used all her spiritual power to cut them off, leaving her exhausted. She turned around, wanting to rest for a while.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

It turned out that those vines were all like spirits, extremely cunning and impossible to kill.

After being cut off by Lin Yaoyao, they grew again upon landing.

Instantly, they rolled up their tentacles and swept towards Lin Yaoyao.

Just as these vines were about to touch Lin Yaoyao's ankles, a thunderous voice fell from the sky.

"Be careful!"

At the same time, a huge waterfall of thunder essence descended from the sky, targeting the vines that had sprung up all over the ground.

The power of thunder essence was immense. The vines were quickly burned into withered ashes by the thunder essence.

At the moment of turning into withered ashes, the ashes still turned into copper-red fireballs in the thunder essence, making shrill cries.

The vast power of thunder essence made Lin Yaoyao unable to stand still. The world trembled.

For a full half an hour, all the vines were completely worn away by the power of thunder essence.

As the vines completely died, Lin Yaoyao was surprised to find that a fire bridge leading to the other side had appeared in the air above the abyss.

"It's alright now, you can go over."

The voice from the air was heard again.

Lin Yaoyao seemed to be bewitched by this voice, feeling a sense of trust from the bottom of her heart. She slowly stepped onto the fire bridge.

The fire bridge was made of solidified fireballs. The bridge surface was a solid entity of fireballs, while the bridge railings and posts were floating flames.

Such a fire bridge looked terrifying, as if the fire bridge was heading towards death step by step.

But because it was the right path, Lin Yaoyao only felt very comfortable.

In the air, the large face saw that Lin Yaoyao had safely passed through the fire bridge and slowly disappeared.

Back at 万花 Peak, Liu Ruyan turned her head and saw Ye Kong covered in sweat.

"Junior Brother, what's wrong?" Liu Ruyan asked strangely. It wasn't hot today.

"It's nothing. I'll be fine after I go back and rest. It's too hot," Ye Kong said, feeling somewhat tired.

Just now, he had sent out a wisp of his divine sense and couldn't use his full strength, and it was in another world, so his own power was limited.

The vines that Lin Yaoyao encountered just now were not simple. They were born from the grievances of hundreds of thousands of people.

The Holy Lord of the Fire Domain had also suppressed an unparalleled demon at the bottom of the abyss.

This demon was immortal and could continuously provide power to the wronged souls, so it was powerful and dangerous.

Generally, those who went to the abyss were doomed to die and could never be reincarnated.

For Ye Kong, if his original body went out, it could be easily solved.

Now, sending out his divine sense clone was consuming a lot of his spiritual power.

"Ah, okay, okay, then go back and rest. There's no rush."

Liu Ruyan said quickly, afraid that Ye Kong would change his mind.

Just before Ye Kong came over, Sect Leader Luo Yangtian had come by.

He asked her to find a way to hold Ye Kong back while he, Yao Zidan, and the Peak Lord of the Martial Arts Peak went to the other world.

Just now, in the main hall, the Sect Leader couldn't bear to disregard Ye Kong's feelings, so he agreed.

But Ye Kong, a Qi Refinement cultivator, might not even know how he died when facing a great Emperor Realm expert in another world.

How could Luo Yangtian let Ye Kong go?

So, he agreed on the surface but secretly asked Liu Ruyan to hold Ye Kong back.

They would go to the other world first and try to bring Lin Yaoyao and the others back. As for the other world, they would avoid fighting if possible.

As for the matter of fighting, it was a matter for the entire cultivation world.

Luo Yangtian didn't intend to bury the entire sect and test the waters for future generations.

Therefore, the usually decisive Liu Ruyan deliberately procrastinated.

"Okay, then Senior Sister should also rest for a while. We'll set off later."

"Okay, okay," Liu Ruyan replied readily, watching Ye Kong walk away.

Back at 逍遥 Peak, Ye Kong sat down on his usual large rock, leaning against the old tree and falling asleep.

There was no way around it. He was too tired.
