Chapter 1163: Arousing a Shock

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

In the evening, a huge bright red battle qi tornado rushed into the sky from the center of Fairy Lake, causing a great shock in the surroundings in a split second…

Battle qi tornado indicated a battle between earth knights; especially in the evening, an earth knight’s battle qi tornado could almost be seen within one thousand square miles.

Given the imposing manner of this battle qi tornado, the one who released it should be at least a high-rank earth knight.

Fang Xinyi and her partners followed Zhang Tie here; after losing their target, they flew around Fairy Lake for quite a while in vain. When they were about to leave Fairy Lake, they suddenly saw a huge battle qi tornado rushing into the sky from the center of Fairy Lake.

“Let go take a look over there!” Fang Xinyi flew towards where the battle qi rose up, closely followed by her partners.

Xuanyuan Hill looked like a pot of messy porridge tonight which contained too many secrets. At the beginning, all the wild swans near Xuanyuan Hill became berserk. Closely after that, the 12 huge words composed of wild swans in the sky completely sent Xuanyuan Hill into chaos. Even Zhang Tie flashed by Xuanyuan Hill. As the disciples of the top sects in Taixia Country, now that they had encountered this event, they had to be sensitive about everything that happened in Xuanyuan Hill out of individual curiosity or in order to respond to their masters’ questions.

Fang Xinyi and her partners flew towards the center of Fairy Lake at their fastest speeds like meteors. The battle qi tornado that rushed into the sky didn’t move and looked pretty eye-catching; only after a few seconds, the battle qi tornado disappeared all of a sudden.

After a few minutes, they had arrived at the location where the battle qi tornado rushed up into the sky. It was close to the northwest in the center of Fairy Lake.

It was normal on the water. Additionally, they didn’t see anyone fly away from here just now. After suspending in the sky and exchanging a glance with each other, those youngsters nodded towards each other as they dove into the lake at the same time.

The water of Fairy Lake was very crystal. Being not far away from where they entered the water, a wide area of muddy water was slowly rolling in a deep pit being covered with many waterweeds.

They meticulously approached there and didn’t find anybody. There was a broken waterweed in the rolling muddy water. Besides, there was a hole inside while the water of a subterranean stream was flowing out of the hole and gradually diluting the muddy water.

“I could smell blood in the water here. As the blood is mixing with mud, it could be barely identified; but my cultivation method makes me sensitive to fresh blood…” You Chuzhi told all the others at present in a secret way with a solemn look.

“Someone fought here just now!”

“One of them was at least an earth knight!”

These young knights were not idiots. They immediately reached many conclusions. The opponent who could let an earth knight release his battle qi tornado probably be an earth knight on the same level or a knight on a higher or lower level. If the opponent was on a higher level, the earth knight who released his battle qi tornado had already been killed; if the opponent was on a lower level, it indicated that the earth knight had already killed a black iron knight. Each possibility brought Fang Xinyi and her partners a great stress.

“It seems that we could access this subterranean stream, should we enter it?” Someone proposed a suggestion.

“Given the direction of the water flow, this subterranean river might pass by Xuanyuan Hill. As Xuanyuan Hill is in chaos, if we enter Xuanyuan Hill in this way, we might arouse a misunderstanding in the sensitive region…” Fang Xinyi shook her head calmly. As they all came from the top sects in Taixia Country, which were born to be contradictory with the imperial court and imperial households of Taixia Country. If they entered Xuanyuan Hill; especially in some sensitive region of Xuanyuan Hill in such a secret way, they would indeed have big trouble.

There was one point that Fang Xinyi had not pointed out. However, they all knew it, namely, if the knight who appeared here just now was also in the subterranean stream at this moment, they would face a great danger if they entered this narrow and strange place. Curiosity killed the cat, also knights.

“Chuzhi, can you sense the trace of the person who bled in the water? If that person is bleeding, he might leave some clues in water.” Ge Yuling asked as the others moved their eyes onto You Chuzhi.

You Chuzhi shook his head as he replied, “I could only sense the existence of fresh blood in this small region. It’s diffusing. There’s no fresh blood in other places. I guess the one who bled just now have already stopped bleeding, leaving no trace anymore!”

When they talked with each other in a secret way, another 3 knights entered the water. At the sight of these people over here, they instantly swam towards here.

One earth knight and two black iron knights; all of them were wearing uniforms of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country. It seemed that the rising battle qi tornado not only attracted Fang Xinyi and her partners but also some vigilant powerhouses of Supreme Court near Fairy Lake.

“Who are you?” The moment they arrived here, the earth knight had asked about the identities of Fang Xinyi and her partners.

“We’re traveling in Xuanyuan Hill. Just now, we were near Fairy Lake. At the sight of the battle qi tornado, we especially came over here to take a look!” A knight on Fang Xinyi’s side replied frankly.

After hearing his explanation, the earth knight of Supreme Court nodded silently. Because they had indeed seen some people flying in front of them with their brilliant protective battle qis which looked like meteors, although they were far away from Fang Xinyi and her partners; additionally, the number of members of Fang Xinyi’s team corresponded with that of the “meteors”.

The earth knight of Supreme Court slowed down his voice. He didn’t even waste time inquiring about the concrete identities and names of Fang Xinyi’s team members; instead, he put it straightforwardly, “Have you seen the one who released his battle qi tornado just now?”

“When we arrived here, we didn’t see anybody but the muddy water. It seems that there was a transient fight here just now; additionally, the blood here has already diffused!”

“Didn’t you see anyone leaving here?”

“No!”

“Alright, thanks!” The earth knight glanced around Fang Xinyi and her partners before warning them seriously, “It’s a sensitive period in Xuanyuan Hill, as you’re just travelers, watch out yourselves; do not be involved in the contradictions!”

After saying that, the earth knight threw a glance at the subterranean stream before drilling inside. Before entering it, he even told the other two black iron knights to look for suspicious places in the surroundings.

Fang Xinyi and her partners could only leave the water.

…

After flying out of Fairy Lake, they suspended in the sky and exchanged glances with each other silently. What happened in Xuanyuan Hill and what they encountered outside Xuanyuan Hill tonight were completely out of the limits of their abilities and knowledge. Previously, they were all proud of themselves as they were all elites of top sects in Taixia Country. However, tonight, they found that they could do nothing but be onlookers when a major event broke out in Xuanyuan Hill. They even lost their target; therefore, Fang Xinyi and her partners, especially those male knights felt frustrated more or less.

“Whether the earth knight of Supreme Court had already guessed our identities and backgrounds? Therefore, he warned us in the end!” A male knight broke the silence.

“Maybe, the powerhouses of the Supreme Court always have sharp eyes!”

“When we chased Zhang Tie all the way to the Fairy Lake, we lost our target; closely after that, a battle qi tornado appeared; whether the battle qi tornado is related to Zhang Tie?” You Chuzhi suddenly asked after being silent for a second.

“It’s still too early for us to reach such a conclusion. But the time that Zhang Tie appeared in Xuanyuan Hill was indeed a bit strange. We’d better not expose this secret for the time being. We will report it to our masters at first. The experience and information sources of the elders in our sects could never be matched by us. They will give us an explanation!” Fang Xinyi said calmly.

All the others nodded. When they stayed with Fang Xinyi over these days, they all found that Fang Xinyi was intelligent and could always hit the key points; although being tranquil and elegant, she could always be decisive at critical moments. Gradually, they all thought that Fang Xinyi’s words were reasonable.

Closely after that, these young elites left Fairy Lake…

…

When Fang Xinyi’s team left Fairy Lake and the two black iron knights of Supreme Court carefully searched over the neighborhoods in water, Zhang Tie was refining the last bit of water elements from the incomplete water chakra of Han Yuanhong.

After being severely wounded, Han Yuanhong finally exhaled his final breath…
