Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1689 Encountering Outsiders Again

In front of the temple, Ye Qing stood there, his brows furrowed. He said, "Is it just my imagination? Or is it because my strength has improved? I feel that the smell of rust here is stronger than before, and the whole place is becoming more and more eerie."

The big yellow dog sniffed and said, "It does smell like that, but we don't need to worry. We just need to stay on the outskirts and have a peaceful night!"

"Will we really be able to meet people from that world here?" Yan Song asked with some worry.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "There is a certain probability that when we came in last time, we encountered other people in this very place."

“However!” Ye Qing said, “You’ll have to hide yourselves well then. We only know two places on the Tianxi Continent. One is Nanli, where there’s a Tianji Palace. The other is a place called Jiangyao. The people we met last time were from the Xuan Shen Sect in Jiangyao!”

"Anyway, we've met some people. We just need to find out who they are and then confirm where we're from!" Ye Qing said.

Everyone nodded and said, "Understood."

"Let's go!" said the big yellow dog. "It's getting dark, let's spend the night here, and then slowly search outside. If we encounter anyone, come back immediately. Remember, we must be back in this temple before dark every day!"

Everyone nodded.

Then they went into the temple!

The temple was quiet, with some bonfires burning inside. The big yellow dog glanced at them and said, "There are quite a few bonfires here. People from our world are usually terrified of Silent Hill, and very few people come here, let alone venture this deep!"

The big yellow dog pondered and said, "This is most likely something left behind by people from another world. Judging from this, this place is indeed a safe haven that person from that world knows about!"

Ye Qing also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's cultivate while we wait for the time being!"

They are prepared to spend decades or even longer.

As for other places, Ye Qing dared not venture there rashly. Although they were Venerables, the woodcutters here were all at least Saints, and there were also many Spirit Clan members and peddlers. If they encountered them, they might die here.

Before we knew it, it was evening, and the rusty smell seemed to grow even stronger.

They didn't dare enter the temple. After nightfall, they looked into the temple and saw only darkness, which was extremely eerie!

Ye Qing and the others started a fire, and everyone gathered around the fire.

Outside the temple, there was endless darkness, and terrifying roars could be heard from time to time. Even though the group of people were all at the peak of the Venerable Realm, these sounds still made their scalps tingle!

Ye Qing estimated that it was around midnight when he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps outside.

"Someone's there!" The group quickly sensed it.

Ye Qing's mental power was unable to detect the time outside, and everyone looked warily toward the doorway!

“There are quite a few people, at least five or six!” said the big yellow dog.

As the voice faded, the temple gate was suddenly pushed open, revealing a person exuding the aura of a saint. He was covered in wounds, but disregarding his injuries, he shouted, "Come in, come in quickly!"

Before long, four people rushed into the temple.

The four men looked young and had some wounds on their bodies; they all looked disheveled!

"boom!"

The man at the entrance suddenly slammed the temple door shut, then leaned against it and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Ye Qing and the others narrowed their pupils slightly. They had thought they might encounter people from Tianxi Continent in this place, but they obviously did not expect that the people from Tianxi Continent would arrive so quickly.

However, everyone seemed very calm at this moment, and they even deliberately maintained a guarded demeanor.

Because the five people on the other side quickly showed a wary expression after entering the temple.

The master, who was at the level of a saint, leaned against the doorway. His mental state was extremely poor, and he had obviously suffered very serious injuries.

Of the four, one of them disregarded everything else and hurriedly walked over to the Saint-level expert, saying, "Elder Ling, are you alright?"

The speaker was a woman, and as she spoke, she infused her body with a stream of water-attribute energy.

Water-attribute properties include healing abilities, although the effects are not as strong as those of wood-attribute properties.

And this woman's aura also indicated that she was a Venerable in the early stage!

The other three are two Venerables and one Domain Lord!

The sage patted the woman's hand, then clasped his hands in greeting to Ye Qing and the others, saying, "I am Ling Xiaoshan from Min Yue Immortal Valley. May I ask where you all come from?"

Ye Qing and the others had no idea about this place.

The big yellow dog said calmly, "I come from the Heavenly Mystery Palace of Nanli!"

"Hmm?" The man's expression shifted. "So you are all experts from the Heavenly Mystery Hall? We have come here by chance. We will stay here for the night and leave tomorrow!"

As he spoke, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes!

I don't know if it was frightened by the big yellow dog calling itself "Emperor," or if it was wary of the words "Heavenly Secrets Palace."

The big yellow dog said calmly, "It's alright, this place is very large, you can stay here. However... with your water attribute characteristics, I'm afraid it won't be able to heal you in a short time!"

Ling Xiaoshan gave a wry smile and said, "My body has been contaminated, and I've also been poisoned..."

"Why did you arrive so late?" the big yellow dog asked again.

Ling Xiaoshan gave a wry smile and said, "Since this large-scale launch, we have obtained some slots. Of course, compared with powerful sects like the Heavenly Mystery Hall, the number of slots we have obtained is very small!"

“A few days after entering, we deviated from the sect’s route map, which is why we didn’t reach the safe point before nightfall tonight.” Ling Xiaoshan said with a bitter smile, “If we had been any unlucky, we would probably all have died here today.”
