Chapter 1387: Chapter 1387: Deadly Rainbow Clouds
Mu Feng still felt a bit puzzled and uneasy. Qin Sisi and Ye You’s magic power were both above her, what could possibly require her to do?
Ye You said in a low voice, "If I can save the Mu Water Clan and free Mu Ze from suffering, would you be willing to pledge allegiance to me?"
Mu Feng immediately replied, "I am willing."
The two things Ye You mentioned were exactly the issues he was helpless about. If Ye You indeed accomplished them, it would truly be a blessing for the Mu Water Clan and the Mu family.
If Ye You really had such power, he would willingly submit.
"Wait a moment," the third Young Master Mu Chi spoke, "Who exactly are you? Why should we pledge allegiance?"
Ye You and Qin Sisi had not revealed their true identities since arriving, so it was no wonder Mu Chi harbored doubts.
Ye You replied, "My full name is Jiuxi Yeyou, I am the Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm, and Sisi is my Sage Queen."
Mu Feng and the others were taken aback; no wonder their magic power was so strong, they were the Sage Ruler and Sage Queen of the Demon Sacred Realm.
After coming back to his senses, Mu Feng bowed to Ye You and respectfully said, "My Mu family is willing to pledge allegiance. Please, Sage Ruler and Sage Queen, have mercy and save the members of the Mu Water Clan."
Ye You nodded and said, "We have decided to set out tomorrow for Kurosawa Highland, and I plan to bring Mu Ze."
Mu Feng was startled, stammering, "But... but, the body of the old clan leader Mu Ze is extremely frail. I don’t know if he can withstand the journey."
Ye You said, "Don’t worry, if the Deity doesn’t let him die, he won’t die."
Mu Feng thought for a moment and agreed. He also knew the cause of Mu Ze’s current condition was related to the Deity on Kurosawa Highland. To solve this issue completely, they must go to Kurosawa Highland to negotiate with the Deity.
Mu Feng himself obviously didn’t have this ability, so he placed his hopes in Ye You and Qin Sisi.
After a night, Mu Feng once again led Qin Sisi and Ye You into the secret room inside his chamber, passing through hallway after hallway, finally reaching the innermost room where they met the three-thousand-year-old Mu Ze for the second time.
The elderly white-haired man remained weak and quietly lying on the bed, not moving an inch, his eyes vacant and only his mouth occasionally twitching slightly.
Qin Sisi whispered, "Doesn’t he need to eat?"
Mu Feng shook his head and replied, "He doesn’t need to eat, nor does he excrete, he just lies there quietly. Ordinary people shouldn’t experience such phenomena, so we believe it’s a curse from the Deity."
Ye You said, "Carry him on your back, let’s set off!"
"Me carrying him?" Mu Feng was stunned.
Ye You raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why? He’s your family’s ancestor, shouldn’t you carry him?"
Mu Feng awkwardly replied, "That’s not what I meant, I was concerned he couldn’t withstand the movement."
Ye You looked at the elderly man lying on the bed, raised his palm, and released a power of wind attribute magic, slowly lifting Mu Ze’s body and moving it in front of Mu Feng.
Mu Feng quickly caught him, holding Mu Ze with some stiffness.
"Let’s go!" Ye You said and took the lead in leaving Mu Feng’s secret room.
Today, it was Mu Wen’s shift to release the water, and Mu Ting was exhausted from releasing the water yesterday, needing to rest well, so the two of them stayed in the Chief Mansion.
Qin Sisi and Ye You, together with Mu Feng and Mu Chi, and Mu Xi left the Chief Mansion to prepare to head north.
As soon as they left the Chief Mansion, someone followed them—it was Chen Pei.
That day, when he, Ye You, and Qin Sisi broke into the Chief Mansion, unexpectedly misfortune turned into blessing, he not only didn’t lose his job but became good friends with Ms. Muxi and a frequent guest at the Mu family.
This time, upon hearing Mu Xi mention Ye You was going to Kurosawa Highland, he waited early outside.
Last time Ye You and Qin Sisi said they were going to Kurosawa Highland, he stopped them because the environment near Kurosawa Highland was extremely dangerous, worrying they might not come back.
But now he thinks differently, over time, gaining a deeper understanding of their powerful magic prowess, gradually developing a thought: perhaps they really are the saviors of the Mu Water Clan!
Therefore, when Qin Sisi and Ye You were preparing to set off for Kurosawa Highland, Chen Pei was waiting nearby the Chief Mansion gate, and as they exited the door, he hurriedly caught up to express his intentions.
From desperately obstructing to accompanying, Chen Pei’s attitude changed greatly, reflecting his respect and belief in them from another aspect.
For Qin Sisi and Ye You, since they were already bringing Mu Chi and Mu Xi, adding one more person made no difference. They were not familiar with the routes, having a few guides familiar with the paths and environment would make the journey more efficient.
Thus, a party of seven set out from the Chief Mansion, starting their journey towards Kurosawa Highland.
Kurosawa Highland was not far from Stoning Plain, yet for so many years, there was no communication between the two regions.
A few hours later, they arrived near Kurosawa Highland.
From Stoning Plain to Kurosawa Highland, there was a circular deep trench between them, ordinary people couldn’t cross this trench, thus directly being blocked outside.
To enter Kurosawa Highland, one must cross this trench.
At the bottom of the trench, various sizes of stones were scattered about, differing from those on Stoning Plain.
The stones on Stoning Plain were mainly brown, brownish black, black, and white, varying greatly in size and being uneven.
But the stones inside the trench seemed barely measured, very similar in size, and brightly colored, some crimson, some golden yellow, some indigo blue, a colorful array, looking very stunning.
Qin Sisi and the others arrived at the edge of the trench, observed the surrounding environment, and secretly pondered over methods to cross the trench.
They could have Ye You conjure magic wings and carry everyone across one by one, though it would be taxing for Ye You.
While they were discussing crossing the trench, the stones suddenly emitted multicolored rays of light, which surprisingly became solid, forming clusters of colorful clouds in the sky, dyeing the entire sky, incredibly beautiful.
However, aside from Qin Sisi and Ye You, others all turned pale, revealing looks of fear.
Mu Feng shook his head with a sigh, "Alas, after all, it’s unavoidable!"
Chen Pei shouted urgently, "Magic Cat Lord, let’s hurry and leave here, these colorful clouds really can kill."
Qin Sisi hesitated and looked at Ye You, but Ye You had no intention of leaving, his gaze determined.
Qin Sisi could only encourage Chen Pei, "Don’t be afraid, we’ll be fine."
