Ch. 871 - Shi Yuyan, Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground

The purple robe fluttered in the wind, and Ji Ruobing’s face was flushed red.

Especially with so many people watching.

She covered her chest and fled into the distance in a panic.

“Let’s go,” Xu Zimo looked at Rock Solid and said.

“Take me with you,” the monk Great Wisdom said from the side.

“Then let’s all go together, to the Feather Race,” Xu Zimo nodded.

At this moment, Rock Solid looked at Xu Zimo, his face full of disbelief.

“You defeated Ji Ruobing just like that?”

“What about it?” Xu Zimo asked.

“It’s just… so easy. I just can’t accept it right away,” Rock Solid replied honestly.

“Actually, for me, my goal has never been people of the same generation,” Xu Zimo smiled. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to agree to go to the Feather Race.”

“Before, when you said you would help my Stone Race deal with the Feather Race, I still had doubts. Now I believe you, at least fifty percent,” Rock Solid said.

“Only fifty?” Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.

“Don’t underestimate them. The Feather Race is not as simple as you think,” Rock Solid said. “They have connections with many forces, and this incident may even have other factions involved.”

Xu Zimo smiled, raised his fist, and said, “With just one punch, all of creation is nothing but floating clouds.”

The three of them left Heavenly Dao City and stepped into the air, heading north.

To save time, the three of them were almost flying at full speed.

…

On the outskirts of Sacred Stone Mountain, in the Feather Stone Forest, a fierce battle was taking place.

Seven or eight members of the Feather Race were besieging a member of the Stone Race.

There’s not much difference between the Stone Race and the Human Race.

Like Rock Solid, normally, you wouldn’t even notice any difference.

Only in battle would their skin turn to stone, enhancing their defense.

This was a natural advantage.

As for the Feather Race, they were born with a pair of wings and could fly from birth.

As their cultivation grew, the wings on their backs would become stronger.

Eventually, not only could they fly, but they could also use their wings to attack.

These were the differences between the races, their strengths and weaknesses.

The Stone Race had strong defense but slow speed.

The Feather Race was fast, but their defense was even weaker than humans’.

In the Feather Stone Forest, the seven or eight Feather Race members circled around the Stone Race man.

The Stone Race man could only take the hits passively, his whole body covered in stone.

Although they couldn’t harm him for the moment, given time, his defense would eventually break.

“Shi Min, stop resisting. We’ll spare your life,” a Feather Race man in the sky laughed.

“As long as you kneel and kowtow a few times, and agree to our terms, you can live.”

“A man of the Stone Race would rather die standing than live kneeling,” Shi Min shouted angrily.

“Yu Lu, kill me if you want. I won’t even frown.”

“Letting you die like this would be such a waste,” Yu Lu laughed. “We’ll torture you slowly. We’ve got all the time in the world.”

Under the continuous attacks from the Feather Race youths, the stone layer on Shi Min’s body had gradually been torn apart.

Claw marks and scratches began to appear on his body.

…

“This is Feather Stone Forest. Once we get past here, the valley ahead is our Stone Race’s territory,” Rock Solid explained to Xu Zimo and the others.

“But there are often Feather Race members who trespass here. With our strength, we don’t need to fear them.”

As the three were speaking, they suddenly heard the sounds of fighting ahead.

They quickly sped up, pushed aside the bushes in front of them, and saw a Stone Race youth surrounded by several Feather Race members.

“That’s Shi Min,” Rock Solid said excitedly. “He’s a good brother of mine in the Stone Race. Let’s go save him, those damned Feather Race.”

But before Xu Zimo and the others could act, a spear suddenly fell from the sky.

The tip carried a sharp spear intent, breaking through the shattering void without resistance.

In an instant, like stringing candied hawthorns, it pierced through all the Feather Race members in one go.

The spear, still carrying its powerful intent, then stabbed into a large tree nearby.

“Such powerful spear intent,” Rock Solid said in surprise.

Xu Zimo looked up slightly and saw three men and two women stepping through the air from the south.

All five wore identical white robes.

On the back of the robes was printed the character Mortal.

It seemed they came from the same faction.

“Looks like we don’t need to intervene,” Monk Great Wisdom said with a smile.

“That’s Shi Yuyan,” Rock Solid frowned.

“You know her?” Monk Great Wisdom asked.

“I don’t know the other four, but I know that woman,” Rock Solid nodded.

“Her name is Shi Yuyan, the Saintess of our Stone Race in this generation. But I heard she was sent to the Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground. How could she suddenly be back?”

“If you know her, then let’s go say hello,” Monk Great Wisdom said, walking forward.

Rock Solid’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant, looking like he didn’t really want to.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Zimo smiled.

“You two have a grudge?”

“To tell you the truth, in this generation of the Stone Race, the two most talented disciples are me and Shi Yuyan,” Rock Solid said.

“We’ve been rivals since we were young, always competing over everything. Later, when our Stone Race chose who would compete for the Heaven’s Will of this generation and receive focused training, it came down to me and her. We had a contest, she won, and naturally became the Saintess.”

“I can tell you only know how to forge weapons. How could you beat her?” Xu Zimo laughed.

“That’s not weapon forging, it’s a way of understanding the Dao. Forging is just one way to comprehend it,” Rock Solid explained. “Besides, I like forging, so it’s the best of both worlds, why not?”

“Since she was sent to the Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground, the people next to her must be elite disciples from there. Let’s go meet them,” Xu Zimo patted Rock Solid’s shoulder and walked forward with a smile.

At this moment, Shi Yuyan had just saved Shi Min and hadn’t had time to speak before she saw Xu Zimo’s group emerge from the bushes.

Her eyes focused slightly.

When she saw Rock Solid, she smiled faintly and said, “Well, if it isn’t Rock Solid.”

Rock Solid looked at her sullenly, without responding.

“Seeing your Saintess, shouldn’t you greet her?” Shi Yuyan said with a light smile.

Rock Solid was silent for a moment, then greeted flatly, “Greetings, Saintess.”

Shi Yuyan smiled with satisfaction, then turned to Shi Min and asked, “Shi Min, why are you out here alone?”

“Saintess, I came out to get reinforcements,” Shi Min sighed. “We can’t hold on much longer.”

“How can that be? The Feather Race may be strong, but they shouldn’t be able to overwhelm us so quickly,” Shi Yuyan frowned and asked.

“Originally, between us and the Feather Race, each side had wins and losses, though we lost more than we won. But we could still resist,” Shi Min explained.
