Chapter 288.3: Sowing Discord

“You have been here for an entire month and the Mind Free Peak….. might manifest before the people within the next few days. When the time comes, those who are qualified to come in will in turn become the Mind Free Peak’s fresh blood. Sovereign will then personally pick a few of them to experiment with.”

The so called fresh blood were just lives that would be turned into weapons.

Although they were perceived as the divine realm, people who came into the Mind Free Peak would not be able to receive any of the so called treasures or the secret manuals, but merely become the Mind Free Peak’s most excellent experimental specimens.

Afterall, too many outstanding young youths have been selected all these years but none of them have been able to last till that last final step.

To be able to develop the most outstanding weapon, one must first undergo countless times of failure.

The Mind Free Peak has never once given up on developing the strongest weapon but that called for a lot of blood and countless lives to be paid in return for them to continue with that brutally cruel project.

But people in the world outside knew nothing about that at all and they all sought to come in here like moths to a flame.

The moment that first step was taken, there was no way back for any of them.

An overwhelming wave of sadness and panic suddenly washed over Qing Lan Fei deep inside her heart and she grabbed at Ying Ge’s hand in a fluster. “Ying Ge, if the Mind Free Peak really comes to make a move against my children, will you please….. do all that you can to help them? I still carry the Flame element in my body and you can use my blood instead. It does not matter how much you take, but can you not hurt them? They are innocent…..”

“Nobody has ever been able to change any decision once Sovereign has decided upon it.”

Ying Ge lowered her head, her voice soft as she said: “That is the case when they sought to get rid of you, it’s the same now that they seek for your children to take your place. The only reason they have not killed a traitor like you till now, is only because she feels that you are still of some use to her.”

Ying Ge brushed off the dust that had caught on the hem of her dress before she stood up. “The only thing you can do now is to pray in your heart that they can turn misfortune into blessing and come out of this alive. Senior, you’re already in such dire straits here and when that moment really comes, you might not even be able to save yourself, not to mention anything you can do for them.”

Upon saying that, Ying Ge turned herself around and slowly walked away from there.

She continued to come see her for about an hour everyday after that and although Qing Lan Fei did not know it, most people would not be able to come here into the Flame Devouring Ice Demon at all. So why was Ying Ge able to come and go as she pleased, and it seemed like she was not really affected by the arduous effects of the place.

Maybe her cultivation had really grown over the past several hundreds years and that was why she was not affected by the place in the slightest!

“Has the enchanting view of the moon put the Grand Priest in such a good mood to come out to admire the sight instead of getting some restful sleep?”

At the end of the stone corridor, isn’t the man dressed in a suit of blue robes standing with his head raised up as he gazed at the night sky the Grand Priest Cang Jian himself?
