CHAPTER 1057: 1057 A RAY OF HOPE! (3RD UPDATE)

A month of time gradually approached.

Inside the Yun Shang Palace, Venerable Wu Yang and the owner of the library sat in the hall, and the two decided that once the formation broke, they would engage in the final battle with the three ancient clans.

"Has Young Master Ye not come out of the library yet?" Venerable Wu Yang asked.

Jin Shanshun nodded. He also didn’t understand why Ye Qiu chose to enter the library at this time; even if he was cultivating right now, there would not be much progress.

In just a month, no matter how hard he cultivated, he couldn’t leap from the Mythical Realm to the Human King Realm. Even with crystal stones available for absorption day and night, it couldn’t happen that quickly.

Not only was Jin Shanshun puzzled, but Venerable Wu Yang, Yun Boss were also puzzled. However, the library owner did not say much.

Ye Qiu stayed in the library for more than ten days without any news, nor did he allow anyone to disturb him.

As of now, according to Yun Boss, the formation would lose its power to maintain itself and dissipate automatically in four or five days, and everyone was gathering together to discuss the final battle with the three ancient clans.

"I will hold off Ji Batian and the others. Venerable Wu Yang, you take Yun Boss and Ye Qiu and escape as far as you can. Losing one person is better than losing everyone," the library owner said. Facing the three ancient clans, to survive, you had to use whatever means necessary.

"Senior, this absolutely cannot be. Our Yun Shang Palace has always been under your care. If we let you die for us, I will not be at peace," Yun Boss refused.

Venerable Wu Yang did not speak because he agreed with this method; only by sacrificing oneself can one fulfill others.

The library owner shook his head, "Back then, when facing the three ancient clans, you only fell out with them because you considered my face. If it wasn’t for me wanting to protect Ye Qiu, you wouldn’t have been truly involved in this conflict. It is me who owes you."

"Just do as I say. I will hold off the people of the three ancient clans to give you the most time possible. Whether you can escape alive or not is up to fate," the library owner sighed.

Everyone else remained silent, and the Yun Shang Palace was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

"Senior, you don’t have to do this. I have a way to break through the current predicament and launch a counterattack," suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, and Jin Shanshun looked up excitedly and said, "Young Master."

Jin’er and the other five women were following behind Ye Qiu, with smiles on their faces.

"Young Master Ye, do you have a plan?" Yun Boss suddenly raised his head and said.

"That’s right," Ye Qiu strode in and said at the same time, "As long as I can enter the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, no one will die."

Barbaric Wilderness Forest?

What does this mean?

"In those years, the experts of my Du Gu clan repelled the ancient beasts, saved the ancient land, and used a special method to isolate the ancient land and the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, thus making the ancient land a safe treasure ground," Ye Qiu said.

The library owner’s eyes flickered as if he thought of something.

"Young Master Ye, please explain in more detail," Venerable Wu Yang said.

Ye Qiu found a seat and continued, "You may not know, but during these days, I have been studying what method my ancestors used to separate the two places while I was in the library. It wasn’t until today that I finally understood it completely. It’s a special formation. As long as I can reach the boundary between the Barbaric Wilderness Forest and the ancient land and destroy this special formation, then the barrier will disappear, and the ancient beasts will no longer be limited to the Barbaric Wilderness Forest."

"When the crisis of the ancient beasts strikes the ancient land, the three ancient clans will be too busy to take care of themselves, and our crisis will naturally be resolved."

After Ye Qiu finished speaking, everyone’s eyes lit up. If he could really succeed, it would indeed be able to break through the current predicament.

Venerable Wu Yang frowned and said, "Your method can indeed solve the crisis we are facing, but by leading the ancient beasts into the ancient land, with no barriers anymore, the ancient land will inevitably face the crisis of beast waves again."

Others thought about it carefully, and indeed it was so. Ye Qiu’s move could be described as harming the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred himself. Although the crisis was resolved, it would attract ancient beasts, and from now on, the ancient land would no longer be peaceful and constantly face the threat of ancient beasts.

It really could be called fighting poison with poison.

"This method is the only way for us to survive now. Otherwise, with the three ancient clans not stopping until they die, even if we escape, we will always be chased by the three ancient clans, unable to live in peace," Ye Qiu said.

Venerable Wu Yang, the library owner, and Yun Boss said nothing until Yun Boss said, "Okay, let’s do as you say. Later, Venerable Wu Yang and Senior will attract the attention of the three ancient clans in front of the formation, and you will quickly head to the Barbaric Wilderness Forest from behind the formation."

Yun Boss did not want the library owner to sacrifice himself. Since the three ancient clans were not giving them a chance to survive, they didn’t have to care about the life or death of other clans. Even letting the ancient beasts enter the ancient land wouldn’t matter.

Subsequently, Ye Qiu took out many crystal stones to avoid any unforeseen occurrences, to keep the formation going for a while longer. As long as he could reach the position of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest and broke through the special formation, he would certainly be able to resolve the current crisis.

According to the plan, at midnight, Venerable Wu Yang and the library owner willingly showed themselves to attract the attention of the three ancient clans.

Ye Qiu began to sneak away from behind the formation.

"After resting for so many days, it’s time to stretch my muscles and bones," Venerable Wu Yang clenched his fist, exchanged a glance with the owner of the library, and rushed straight towards the outside of the formation.

Go!

Ye Qiu took action simultaneously.

Reaching the rear of the formation, Ye Qiu observed for a moment and found that there were only people from two ancient clans guarding here. They were not from the three ancient clans but were those mid-tier ancient clans that joined later, trying to get a share of the benefits.

Ye Qiu immediately mobilized the Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique, quietly slipping away from the group of martial artists who were closely watching the formation.

At this time, in front of the formation, the appearance of Venerable Wu Yang and the library owner made the three ancient clans think that these people were making their last stand.

So, five fighters of the Human King Realm simultaneously took action, aiming to eliminate the biggest threats, Venerable Wu Yang and the library owner.

The two remained at the edges of the formation. As long as the other side approached, they would enter the formation, repeating this process, causing the top fighters of the three ancient clans to be furious.

"Are these two old codgers doing it on purpose? We won’t enter the formation, and yet they still lured us to enter it in the middle of the night."

"They are not daring to get too close to me, they are indeed afraid."

Shi Lie and Mu Tianxing discussed.

Ji Changtian felt something was wrong because these two experts didn’t seem like they were making their last stand; otherwise, they wouldn’t retreat after just a brief clash.

This kind of fighting method was clearly tasting and testing, not a fight to the death.

"It’s wrong, we must have fallen into a trap," Ji Changtian suddenly said.

"What?" The others frowned, and after listening to Ji Changtian’s analysis, they suddenly realized that Venerable Wu Yang and the library owner appearing in front of them in the middle of the night must have been meant to attract attention, so...

"The back of the formation." The few exchanged glances and hurried to the back of the formation.

Upon arriving, they found that the martial artists guarding the area were all dead, without a trace of breath.

"It must be that remnant who did this," Ji Changtian said, looking at the sharp wounds, knowing without a doubt that it was the result of Ye Qiu’s Kusanagi Sword.

"Chase him, he can’t have gone far," Shi Lie, Mu Tianxing, and Ji Riri exchanged a glance and pursued in all directions.
