Chapter 1986: Chapter 1986

Only those who are truly heaven-defying can partake in the great battle at the Feather Spirit Palace; perhaps they even surpass the Nine Realms. Any one of these people could easily sweep through everything in the Nine Realms.

The vortex of power left behind by such heaven-defying figures after their battles is anything but simple.

The most critical issue in entering the Feather Spirit Palace is avoiding these vortices of power.

Yet, this is also the most difficult, for the vortices of power are invisible, impossible to discern from the outside. How can one avoid them?

The group proceeded slowly and, after more than two hours, finally arrived at the entrance to this valley.

Here, they could already see the seven-colored radiance sweeping across the sky, which is the protective glow outside the Feather Spirit Palace.

Su Yang took a deep breath, knowing that stepping into the range of this seven-colored glow meant entering the outskirts of the Feather Spirit Palace. And with that, the danger would begin.

He eyed everyone, noting the particularly grave expressions on their faces.

With just one step into this valley, they would face the crisis of the Feather Spirit Palace. At this moment, who wouldn't be on edge?

The group exchanged glances, and suddenly, the leader of the Asura Clan loudly declared, "Su, lead your people forward first!"

This person, named E Fa, was the strongest among the Asura Clan and was nicknamed the Madman. Indeed, he was mad, viewed as the most bloodthirsty in the Asura Clan.

Others remained silent; the Asura Clan intended for Su Yang to lead the way, testing for danger on behalf of everyone.

Wei Qing glanced at Su Yang, feigning a look of hesitation, as if he wanted to speak on Su Yang's behalf, but ultimately was unable to. His acting was top-notch.

Su Yang gave him a reassuring nod and smiled slightly, "Alright, if that's the case, we shall go ahead!"

Simultaneously, Su Yang signaled to Ye Xingjun behind him to speak up.

Ye Xingjun frowned slightly, reluctant to assist Su Yang at this time. Yet, thinking of the Flat Peach Forest at Turquoise Pool and the Feather Clan's access to the core of the Feather Spirit Palace, he ultimately compromised.

Keeping Su Yang was the only way to achieve his goal!

"I don't think the members of the Human Clan should lead," Ye Xingjun declared bluntly.

Many had initially looked at Su Yang with amusement, seemingly eager to see him scout the way. But Ye Xingjun's words left everyone stunned. What's Ye Xingjun's intention? Helping Su Yang?

E Fa frowned, dissatisfied, "Ye Xingjun, what do you mean? If not him, who should lead? Do you want your Feather Clan to lead?"

If it were only E Fa, he dared not provoke Ye Xingjun. But now, with Ye Xingjun siding against the Seven Realms by aiding Su Yang, he felt confident.

Ye Xingjun ignored him, glancing at Yang Wudi instead, and said calmly, "The Human Clan knows the Feather Spirit Palace much better than us. Let's say, if they lead, they could enter much faster than we can. If they run, can you catch up?"

Yang Wudi, who was also initially wary of Ye Xingjun, suspecting he intended to help Su Yang, furrowed his brows upon hearing these words. He had to acknowledge the significance of Ye Xingjun's point.

Su Yang clearly understood more about the Feather Spirit Palace, and leading him was indeed providing him the opportunity to escape.

Once Su Yang escaped, given his knowledge of the Feather Spirit Palace, it would be hard for them to capture him. Additionally, Su Yang would undoubtedly set traps to harm those behind him!

The best strategy was to position the members of the Human Clan in their midst. This way, Su Yang and his group would always be surrounded, making escape impossible!

"I think Ye Xingjun has a point," Wei Qing interjected at the right time. "The Human Clan knows more about the Feather Spirit Palace; let's simply have them !"

Everyone else nodded in agreement; this seemed reasonable.

Su Yang, however, wore an expression of regret, as if feeling helpless about not being able to lead.

E Fa appeared uneasy, frustrated that his first suggestion was flatly denied.

"If not them at the front, who do you have in mind to lead?" E Fa asked discontentedly. Among the Eight Realms, who was willing to take the lead?

Ye Xingjun said nothing, merely turning his gaze toward the people from the Ghost Realm.

Others followed Ye Xingjun's gaze and many began to chuckle quietly to themselves.

Ye Xingjun's intention was clear: he meant for the Ghost Realm to lead. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Yang Wudi frowned slightly; given the good relations between the Demon and Ghost Realms, he naturally didn't want the Ghost Realm to be at the front.

However, in the end, he didn't intervene. He had also been involved in threatening Gui Xin just the day before. Truthfully, even Yang Wudi himself harbored caution and discontent towards the Ghost Realm. So, if they were to lead, Yang Wudi wouldn't oppose it.

Moreover, Yang Wudi was confident. Even inside the Feather Spirit Palace, without the Ghost Realm's support, he feared no one.

Known as the first beneath the Land Immortals, his reputation was no fluke.

Just a few days ago, he had faced four experts alone, yet he dominated the fight against them, showcasing his strength.

Among the Eight Realms, who would he regard?

Neither Wei Qing nor Ye Xingjun, nor Monk Wunian.

Even combined, they posed no threat!

Thus, he needed no help from Gui Xin; he could rely on himself!

Yang Wudi remained silent, prompting others to act with even less restraint. Following a discussion, nearly everyone agreed that the Ghost Realm should lead.

The members of the Ghost Realm were deeply unhappy, but Gui Xin seemed resigned and said nothing in protest.

Without a leader, the Ghost Realm couldn't compete against others, and grudgingly, they took the lead to scout the way.

The group followed behind the people of the Ghost Realm, with ten members of the Human Clan sandwiched in the center, surrounded by those from the Eight Realms.

Su Yang appeared rather calm about this situation. Even encircled by the Eight Realms, how many of those around him would actually make a move against him?

Ye Xingjun and Wei Qing speaking up earlier was proof of Su Yang's success in his plan.

Once inside the Feather Spirit Palace, the Human Clan wouldn't be in so much danger!

As the group entered the valley, Su Yang could see from afar the seven-colored glow sweeping down from the sky.
