<h4>Chapter 1427: Life Cage</h4>
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
After the extremely cruel fight, when Ye Xiao was back to the base, he was a bit lost.
He was thinking about the people in ck clothes and the secret organization behind them.
He thought about Wu Huitian who was dead, Yun Xiran who ran away. They reminded him of an old friend.
Yue Changtian!
The prime masters of the Saint Sunlight Sect and the Saint Starlight Sect, what about Yue Changtian?
Ye Xiao thought about the prime master of the Cold Moon Pce, who was always solemn yet generous and was now missing.
[How is he now?]
Thinking about that, he suddenly made a long sigh.
Late at night.
The stars blinked in the sky.
It was the moment before dawn, the darkest moment of the world in a day.
Suddenly, a world-cracking sound rang up.
Somewhere around the union of justice, a mountain suddenly copsed. Dust filled the sky, and one could barely see his own hands in the dusty air.
Ye Xiao and the others were shocked, and they all went out.
They were in the darkness, and all they could hear was the sound of the cracking rocks.
Ye Xiao frowned.
[It must be people from the secret organization... But... Why would they break down a mountain before they came over? If they do this quietly and sneakily, we would lose many lives.]
[Breaking down a mountain like this ispletely pointless. It would only give us time to prepare for the fight.]
[Howe?]
[Covering our sights? Trying to frighten us? Nonsense! It was superfluous. I don’t think their leader could be this stupid!]
Ye Xiao frowned, watching the rising smoke in the sky. He couldn’t understand what exactly was happening.
In the dark, somebody was shouting in a hoarse voice. “Ye Xiao! Come fight me! I dare you!”
Suddenly, a sword light blinked in the dark. A man in ck clothes with a mask on flew up to the sky as if he and his sword were one. The ck clothes were exactly the same as those people from the vile organization earlier. However, nobody felt the same horror earlier. Instead, they had the feeling of somebody willing to sacrifice with honor.
However, they denied the feeling immediately. Those were demonic creatures from the vile organization. How could they be honorable? It must be a delusion!
Li Wuliang’s thick and deep voice sounded. “I, Li Wuliang, am enough to defeat you! There is no need to let Ye Xiao go for this easy fight!”
He was dragging a huge saber, striding out with his eyes like electricity. He was ready to jump over to the sky and fight the man in ck clothes.
Ye Xiao’s eyes blinked and he said, “Let me do it!”
Then he moved, became a moving stream of light rushing up to the sky.
The man in ck clothesughed and said, “You are indeed the Xiao Monarch I know! Follow me!”
Before he finished talking, he already took a move, turned around, and left fast toward the south. Ye Xiao didn’t hesitate, just followed up immediately. One shadow in ck and the other in white disappeared in a blink. One was leading while the other followed.
Xuan Bing and the others didn’t feel right about it, so they all hurriedly rushed over to chase them.
At the moment, the mountain didn’t stop shaking yet, as if it was a sign of aing disaster...
Lei Dadi’s long white beards flew in the blowing air. He kept looking into the sky where the man in ck clothes had been standing. His sight was lost in thoughts.
Yun Piaoliu quietly came over to him, talking to him in mind connection. “How is it? Is that him?”
“It probably... is!” Lei Dadi’s voice was a bit hoarse and powerless.
The three old men just stood there silently like three pieces of woodcarving works.
After a while, the three of them turned around and left the battle for their camp. They looked so old all of a sudden, with their silver hairs.
“Ye Xiao has gone for it. Just let him deal with it. I don’t think there will be any problems. He always does things right.”
“That’s true.”
“They... They apparently don’t want us to know. We will just y dumb then.”
“Ah.”
“What happens afterward is unpredictable. Let’s just wait for Ye Xiao. It is pointless to be frightened now. We can only face the truth!”
“That’s the only thing we can do.”
The three of them talked in their mind connection, but even though they were talking secretly, they didn’t mention the name, because they couldn’t endure saying it out.
Ye Xiao moved like the wind, chasing after the ck shadow in front of him like a white shooting star. In fact, he intentionally kept a certain distance to the man.
He didn’t operate his ultimate moving technique, didn’t try to get closer, because his heart was also disturbed.
Two shadows moved out a far distance within a short time, like a shooting star chasing after the moon.
Ye Xiao noticed that there were two groups of people in ck clothes secretly following them on both sides.
They were like two giant wings.
They were silent but moved in order.
If these people were arranged to kill Ye Xiao, as they worked together like that, they could kill anybody in the world, including Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao could never be able to fight his way out alone with a sword!
However, he didn’t care. He wasn’t worried, because those people didn’t have any murderous intent.
There was no murderous intent, but they were powerful. However, no matter how horribly powerful they were, there was no need to be afraid of them!
Ye Xiao kept following silently.
After getting over another mountain, there was a sharp cliff ahead of them.
The shadow in front suddenly fell down the cliff, and Ye Xiao followed down without hesitation.
The other twelve men in ck clothes all jumped down the cliff on two sides without hesitation as well. As they jumped off the cliff, something colorful rose up and covered the cliff.
Xuan Bing and the others arrived almost right after they jumped, yet when they went down on the mountain, they were surprised that the colorful thing that covered the cliff had be an extremely powerful energy shield. Even Xuan Bing couldn’t break through the energy shield!
“Life Cage!”
Xuan Bing was the most knowledgeable person among all. As she checked on the energy shield, she couldn’t help eximing out two words.
Jun Yinglian and the others were all shocked, and they looked at each other.
Life Cage was easy to understand. It was a technique which allowed a cultivator to consume his own life energy to build a cage-like shield to protect a certain area.
However, to built a cage like this, it took at least nine top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivators’ lives!
Once the life cage was built, within half a year, even god couldn’t get through the shield!
Nine top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivators’ life energy together was as powerful as the energy of the power of the ultimate greatness!
No man was powerful enough to break it!
Life Cage had such a cruel and strict requirement that it only appeared in some historical stories. Nobody had ever seen it, not to mention tried to build it.
After all, it took all the life energy of nine top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivators just to build an energy shield which only protected a certain area for a while...
It was cruel, and it cost too much. It was not a good deal no matter at what point.
No sects in the world would use such a method to protect or block a certain area.
Wasn’t it a better solution to send nine living top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivators to protect the area than sacrificing them? Besides, as long as they were alive, they could protect the area as long as they could. The Life Cage onlysted for a short period of time after all!
Those cultivators didn’t seem to be fools, then why would they use such an unwise method?
No matter what, at this moment, in that ce, the Life Cage was built.
It was shown right before everybody’s eyes!
People built the Life Cage only to protect the meaningless cliff, which the men in ck clothes and Ye Xiao jumped off!
Why?
“Why is Xiao Xiao so reckless this time?” Jun Yinglian was worried and angry at the same time. She said, “He didn’t even pay attention to the surroundings, just jumped down without hesitation. That was stupid!”
Xuan Bing’s eyes looked deep and heavy. She said, “Do not panic... As it is recorded in history, the Life Cage can’t be broken by human power. However, it is a technique to go against people outside the cage, which meant it didn’t bring any impact on people inside it. Xiao Xiao has fallen in, but if he wants toe out, the cage can’t stop him...
“This cage is here to stop us. They don’t want us to follow them anymore.
“However... Who are these men in ck clothes?”
Her eyes looked profound and full of thoughts.
Apparently, she was wondering why Ye Xiao would jump off the cliff without hesitation before giving it a second thought. There must be something special about this weird situation... Suddenly, she was shaken up. It seemed she thought of something, but she decided to keep her mouth shut. Soon, her face became calm and peaceful.
In her eyes, there was respect.
...
Ye Xiao moved right straight down to the bottom of the cliff like a shooting light, and then quietlynded on the floor. When he just stood on the floor, he clearly felt some special energy abruptly rising up.
It was some kind of life energy that contained sincerity.
It seemed several superior cultivators had just given up their own lives in this ce, at this very moment!
They sacrificed themselves in the most extreme way, just for one simple goal.
That was the power of selflessness!
Ye Xiao was shocked. As he looked up, he saw twelve streams of colorful energy up over his head, covering the cliff.
The next moment, twelve men quietlynded on the floor, like twelve falling leaves hiding in different ces.
As they finally hid away, their life energies were all gone.
In fact, when theynded on the floor, they already lost their lives.
They became something like the withered leaves.
They became one with the world; they breathed with the world. However, there were no signs of them in the world anymore!
“Life Cage!”
Ye Xiao couldn’t help eximing.
Xiao Monarch, as an experienced cultivator in the martial world, surely knew about the story. It was a myth, which was very unlikely going to happen in reality!
At that moment, Ye Xiao’s heart was filled with resentment!
He had no idea how the myth came true, but he knew why it would do. The appearance of it exined many things!
“That’s right. It is Life Cage!” The man in ck clothes, whom Ye Xiao was chasing, stood out with his eyes full of strange feelings. As he looked at the rising colorfulness in the sky, he made a long sigh.
The sigh expressed too much of hisplicated emotion. It sounded like all the emotions and feelings in his whole life got vented out in that long sigh.
“Why?” Ye Xiao turned around staring at the mysterious man in ck clothes with a mask
The man in ck clothes quietly stood there, but he didn’t answer Ye Xiao immediately.
“Why do you take such an extreme move? As long as we destroy the organization, you can alle back one day!” Ye Xiao asked loudly, and he seemed to be emotional. “As long as we kill the biggest demon, all the restraint will be gone. Why do you have to take the most extreme and cruel move now?”
The man in ck clothes ndly said, “You are right. Everything can start over again. However, not us, we can’t.”
“Even after the demon dies, our dignity, our sect’s honor, our ten thousand years old heritage, will be all gone.” The man in ck clothes ndly said, “As long as we are still alive, the disgrace remains!
“We should stay alive if there are still missions toplete, even if we have to bear the shame. However, after today, we are no longer needed in this world. We have no reason to live with shame anymore! The sect has raised us up, and we have fought for the sect for our lives. We won’t allow disgrace!
“As long as we die, what we have experienced, what we have suffered, will all be gone in the world.
“That is the only thing we can do for our sect.”
The man in ck clothes sounded pretty sad when he spoke. What he said, he said it in a t tone as if it had nothing to do with him. “If not now, when the two sides start the real war, we won’t even be able to betray the demon. If hees, we will lose our minds, and will totally be tools for killing. We won’t be able to hide our identities when that dayes.
“That will be a great disgrace to the sect! Instead of bringing disgrace to the sect, we would rather sacrifice ourselves to destroy all that rted to the shameful truth.
“There is another reason why we would choose this extreme method. We want to create an absolute safe atmosphere for you and me to have this conversation, in which I would speak all the words I have to say before I die.
“We can at least do something for you, who have been nning on killing the demons. Besides, to die like this, our souls won’t be nutrition to the demons.”
“We will die for justice!”
Ye Xiao was shocked. He emotionally eximed and said, “Prime Master Yue!”
Before he talked, the man in ck clothes shook and then hurriedly interrupted. “No, I am not the man you think! You are mistaking me for somebody else. I am just a pathetic man who still has a bit of conscience. Ye Chongxiao, please remember my words!”
