Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 877 - Plan

Translator: Aran

Watching the pursuers run out of his range of sight, Ye Qingyu showed no intention of giving chase. But Zhang Ye panicked, immediately turned to look at Ye Qingyu, and shouted anxiously, “Not good... hero, please do something, don’t let them get away. There are innocent people here, and they will inform the others if they are able to go back. Even more people would come here...”

Ye Qingyu looked at Zhang Ye, did not say a word, and simply smiled.

As the smile curved his lips, there was not the slightest aura of yuan qi, as though he did not release any power. However, the next moment, there were dozens of ice swords that silently emerged from behind him. Each and every one of them was as though created from ice, crystal clear, and emitting a piercing chill. They fanned out in layers behind Ye Qingyu, like a white peacock spreading its tail. It was incredibly beautiful, but impossible to gaze at from close up.

Ye Qingyu waved his hand.

The next moment.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The fan-like blades bloomed like an orchid cactus, beautiful and dazzling, and then immediately transformed into several silver ice swords, instantly piercing through the Void and cutting through the air like silver snakes at a lightning fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they had already nailed all of the disciples who were wildly running away to death.

Bang, bang, bang!

Amidst the muffled noises, the disciples, who were fleeing frantically, had all been pierced by the ice swords without exception. The next second, they all turned into humanoid ice sculptures, lost their strength and power, but still maintained the posture of charging forward. They plunged down, shattering into ice shards and powder on the ground.

An instant kill.

A complete kill.

Not a single person that Elder Ming Jue led here had managed to escape.

And regardless of whether it was in killing Elder Ming Jue or the other traitor disciples of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect, Ye Qingyu was still standing where he was.

Zhang Ye's face was tensed up before, but his expression froze upon seeing this scene.

They... were all dead?

So fast...

Zhang Ye's eyes were wide with disbelief, standing rooted to the spot, as if he could not believe everything that he had seen. The power that was contained within the dancing ice swords was already something that he could not fathom.

That... that young man, what was his background?

They could not completely understand what kind of power it was in that split second.

All eyes were focused on Ye Qingyu.

It was a look of awe and fear.

They could not understand why the young man, who looked gentle and refined, could kill with the raise of his hand like he was cutting grass. Dozens of Heaven Ascension realm experts were cleanly dealt with, and without the slightest hesitation. Even Elder Ming Jue. who was of the pinnacle of the Immortal Step realm, was also killed effortlessly like he was just picking flowers.

Then Zhang Ye suddenly remembered something. Before Elder Ming Jue was frightened out of his wits, he seemed to have faintly heard him say ‘Ye Qingyu’.

Ye Qingyu?

It sounded like a name.

Was that the name of the young man in white?

Zhang Ye, Qiao Qu and the other disciples were powerful, elite disciples of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect, and once had a certain identity and status. But in fact, in the past hundreds of years they had not left Ancient Sky Dragon Domain, and what they knew was limited to the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain. Thus, they naturally did not know about Ye Qingyu, and what the name represented.

For a moment, there was complete silence.

It was as if all the noises in the whole world had stopped.

All the people gathered their complex gazes on the expert in white. There was awe, respect, admiration, suspicion and worry.

All the ice sculptures that shattered around them had finally dissipated, and everything had turned to dust.

Qin Hui was very clear about the strength of Ye Qingyu, so she was not at all shocked. Holding Ning'er in her arms, she slowly walked out from behind Ye Qingyu, looked at Zhang Ye, and said, “I recognize you, you are... Zhang Ye, junior brother Zhang Ye.”

“Yes! Zhang Ye pays his respects to Young Madam, pays his respects to Young Master!” Zhang Ye hurriedly bowed.

“We Pay our respects to Young Madam and Young Master!” Qiao Qu, Cheng Kui and the other disciples also bowed respectfully.

“That's already in the past, and now I'm just an exile. You don't have to be that polite.” Qin Hui already had a good impression of Zhang Ye and the others. Moreover, the fact that Zhang Ye and the other people did not follow the bad example of Elder Ming Jue made her feel more amiable towards them. She greeted them one by one.

But Zhang Ye and the others were still extremely respectful to Qin Hui, the wife of the former sect master, and still maintained the usual etiquette.

“This is Lord Ye Qingyu from Heaven Wasteland Domain. He is a famous figure who shook the Road of Chaos. It was Lord Ye Qingyu who save Ning’er and I,” Qin Hui introduced him to Zhang Ye and others.

“Thank you, Lord Ye Qingyu.”

“Pays respect to Lord Ye Qingyu.”

Zhang Ye and the others were even more in awe with Ye Qingyu when they heard this.

It turned out that he was a famous person outside of the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain, no wonder he was so powerful.

Madam Qin had actually found strong reinforcements, then perhaps there was hope in restoring the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye and the others could not help feeling excited.

Qin Hui also introduced them to Ye Qingyu, “Lord Ye Qingyu, they are the core loyal disciples of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect. They were sent by my late father to Yu Leaf City to take care of all things in the city. This is Zhang Ye, the head of Blue Tree Hall.”

“Hello, brothers!” Ye Qingyu said with a smile.

Zhang Ye dared not to be disrespectful, and hurriedly bowed in response. Unconsciously his eyes were filled with reverence and admiration, as he gave a cupped fist salute to express his gratitude.

It was no wonder that the news of Elder Ming Jue returning to the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect was so secretive. If the Young Madam and Young Master really did die at his hands, he was bound to have announced it to the world. But they had a great God-level backer protecting them, not to mention Elder Ming Jue, even Cang Li would be no match for him.

Heaven will always leave a door open!

Before that, the disciples of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect, who were still loyal to the former Lord Tian Yunlong, as well as the ordinary citizens in the various great cities, all thought that there was no hope of reviving the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect ever since the traitors took control of it. Moreover, with their strength, even if they wanted to fight against the new sect master and Elder Cang Li, it would simply be like ants trying to shake a tree. This was why they made the decision to flee.

But now the wife of the head of the sect had come back with reinforcements, who had heaven-defying strength. This made Zhang Ye and the others feel incredibly overjoyed and excited.

In particular, Qiao Qu was unceasingly grateful to Lord Ye Qingyu from Heaven Wasteland Domain.

During the battle against Elder Ming Jue, she in fact was prepared to die with her beloved, but it was at that moment that Zhang Ye was saved, and Ye Qingyu naturally became their saviour.

Ye Qingyu smiled and nodded, his attitude was easy-going and warm.

A moment later.

Cheng Kui, Luo Qi and the other disciples were responsible for distributing some Immortal fruits that Ye Qingyu and Luo Yi brought to the people under the city wall, while Ye Qingyu, Qin Hui and others were invited to rest in a stone room not too far away.

“Lord Ye Qingyu, this is it, please come in.”

Zhang Ye walked in front, guiding Ye Qingyu and the others into the stone room.

Ye Qingyu glanced around and found that the stone room was not too big, but was carefully cleaned and tidied up, though there were many cracks on the four walls. There sand and a faint wind that penetrating through the cracks, but it was the most intact and well-preserved place in the entire Lifeng City.

“This place is really simple. I am embarrassed to let Lord Ye Qingyu rest here.” Qiao Qu's face was full of guilt.

It was indeed disrespectful to let the saviour, who came to save the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect, to rest in the ruins.

But Ye Qingyu smiled and did not seem to care.

He had seen the current state of the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain along the way, and understood that it was not easy to find a stone room like this in the abandoned ancient city, which could shelter him from the sand and wind. Moreover, it did not seem that the disciples of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect usually rested here. Instead they chose to sleep on the ground with the ordinary citizens in the ruins. This kind intention was very rare.

“Junior brother Zhang, what has happened these days?” Qin Hui suddenly asked.

Zhang Ye and Qiao Qu exchanged a glance, sighing.

It turned out that ever since Mother Qin Hui and her son had left Ancient Sky Dragon Domain, the traitors had truly taken control of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect. Not only did they sweep through the major cities one by one, they exhausted all kinds of excuses to kill and to get rid of outsiders. Everywhere people were living in misery and suffering, and they also crowned a new sect master.

Ever since the new sect master took over, there were a number of high-pressure policies introduced. He willfully persecuted the ordinary people in the city, and viewed human life as insignificant as weed, causing the citizens in the huge cities to not be able to live a peaceful life.

Moreover, during this period of time, all the hall masters and disciples in the great cities that were controlled by the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect must unconditionally comply with the orders of the new sect master and carry out those heinous acts for him.

Under the oppression, Zhang Ye and the other disciples secretly made a plan to lead the citizens of Yu Leaf City to escape.

“Originally I should be the one staying in Ancient Sky Dragon Sect to steal the Origin crystal and meet up with the others later on, and then use the Origin crystal to activate the Domain Gates of the abandoned ancient city to bring the people out of Ancient Sky Dragon Domain. But Senior brother Jin Yu... he said that if the plan fails, then the only person who would be able to protect the people would be me. So he ordered me to lead the junior brothers and the ordinary people to flee a month ago. He found a way to steal the Origin crystal....but I did not think, sigh. I didn’t think thatHeaven would be jealous of such a genius. What came today was Elder Ming Jue... and the news of the death of senior brother Jin Yu...”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ye was filled with grief, and looked at Ye Qingyu with a more grateful look.

Elder Ming Jue had slaughtered senior brother Jin Yu, and if it were not for Lord Ye Qingyu, they would not have been able to avenge senior brother Jin Yu.

“The plan failed, but if it were not for Lord Ye Qingyu’s timely appearance, we would have died in this vast desert already.” Qiao Qu patted Zhang Ye gently, comforting his sweetheart.

“No need to be so polite.” Ye Qingyu gave a faint smile, again looked at Zhang Ye, and asked, “what are your plans next?”

This...

Zhang Ye was taken aback, and then shook his head with a wry smile, “These days, we have been short on food and water. My brothers and I, and the hundreds of the weak, elderly and children could really be said to be in a desperate situation. We really have no idea what to do next.”

Ye Qingyu nodded.

He had long noticed that the yuan qi of Zhang Ye and the others was at a near-depleted state. Moreover, it seemed that during this period of time, they also paid a great price in order to preserve the lives of everyone in the huge group. Otherwise they would not have been so powerless in the battle against Elder Ming Jue.
