Chapter 946: Chapter 943 Waiting

"It’s over, this is a dead end!"

The numerous cultivators who arrived at Broken Bone Cliff, upon seeing the Lantern Sea before it, were utterly in despair.

Someone attempted to cross the void, trying to fly over the Lantern Sea, but the moment they flew out from Broken Bone Cliff, they helplessly fell towards it, their soul leaving their body and floating towards the Lantern Sea.

Someone else, refusing to believe in the evil, attempted again with the protection of a spiritual artifact, but the outcome was the same.

This left them in complete despair.

People from various major forces also had expressions that were uncertain and grave.

Although it was known that this Primordial Land was extremely terrifying, they didn’t expect such an oppressive force.

From the moment they entered the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land, it had been perilous at every step. Only after much difficulty did they see hope, only to find themselves in a dead end again.

Many even began to regret entering this place.

"Could it be we can only wait for death here?" For a moment, everyone’s faces turned deathly pale.

Beside Broken Bone Cliff, Yao Yueqing and others stood with the Qiankun Ancestor.

"Senior, is this place truly a dead end?" Yao Yueqing’s face was somewhat pale as she looked at the Qiankun Ancestor and asked.

The Qiankun Ancestor, however, maintained a calm demeanor and said softly, "A dead end is naturally a dead end, but not without a sliver of vitality."

"Really?" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

"Where does this sliver of vitality come from?" Luo Jingcheng asked urgently.

The Qiankun Ancestor revealed a smile filled with deeper meaning and said, "Naturally, it comes from the master."

"Ye Xuan?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Yueqing, we are all going to die here, yet you still refuse to be with me?"

At this moment, the Demon Sea Devil Young Master approached, his face filled with sorrow, gazing affectionately at Yao Yueqing.

Yao Yueqing’s expression froze slightly. She took a deep breath and said, "Please, Devil Young Master, respect yourself."

"Devil Young Master, stop speaking nonsense to my junior sister," the Shaking Light Saint Heir also approached and sneered, "My junior sister will never be with you."

The Devil Young Master ignored the Shaking Light Saint Heir and looked at Yao Yueqing with some anger, saying, "I see, you fancy that kid Ye Xuan, don’t you!?"

"That kid is merely at the Heavenly God Realm, not worthy of you!"

Perhaps because this is a dead end, the Devil Young Master spoke his mind directly: "Even though we met because of the marriage alliance plan between the Heavenly Demon Sea and the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, my feelings for you are genuine. I’m not the Wind Thunder Saint Heir or your senior brother Shaking Light Saint Heir. I like you sincerely; even if you wanted me dead, I wouldn’t frown!"

"What do you mean by this? Are my feelings for my junior sister fake?" The Shaking Light Saint Heir squinted his eyes, looking unkindly at the Devil Young Master.

The Devil Young Master ignored the Shaking Light Saint Heir, keeping his gaze fixed on Yao Yueqing.

Yao Yueqing looked at the Devil Young Master, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I understand your feelings, but Yueqing has no intention of seeking a Daoist couple, so..."

"Do you like that kid Ye Xuan?" The Devil Young Master interrupted Yao Yueqing.

Yao Yueqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with some displeasure, "It’s none of your business."

She had made herself clear, but this guy kept asking questions.

The Devil Young Master’s expression turned somewhat fierce: "Fine, then I’ll kill him!"

"Oh, dear," the Qiankun Ancestor, who was watching the scene, couldn’t help but laugh, "The little boy’s skills are not great, but his tone is quite large."

"Old man, shut up! I want to fight Ye Xuan fair and square, a battle between men. You bring him out!" The Devil Young Master roared angrily.

The Qiankun Ancestor smiled warmly at the Devil Young Master and said in a soft voice, "You are not qualified to fight my master."

"Devil Young Master, if you cause more trouble, then we shall fight!" Yao Yueqing said coldly.

"No need for my junior sister to act, let me do it for you!" the Shaking Light Saint Heir chimed in opportunistically.

However, at this time, Ye Xuan had already arrived at Broken Bone Cliff with the East Desolate Wolf.

The Devil Young Master immediately spotted Ye Xuan, let out a sneer, and soared into the sky, shouting, "Ye Xuan, come fight me!"

"Ignorant fool." The corner of the East Desolate Wolf’s mouth curled up, his gaze fierce.

Boom!

The East Desolate Wolf raised his hand and directly slapped the Devil Young Master flying.

In the end, the Devil Young Master couldn’t even touch Ye Xuan.

"Devil Young Master!"

The people of the Heavenly Demon Sea changed their expressions drastically and rushed forward to catch the Devil Young Master.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they realized the Devil Young Master was not dead, only unconscious, although he looked quite miserable, bleeding profusely.

Seeing the East Desolate Wolf beside Ye Xuan, they didn’t dare to say anything.

Because they had witnessed firsthand how the East Desolate Wolf had thrashed the True Person of Nine Skies. If they foolishly sought trouble with the Wolf, surely they would all die here.

Given the situation, patience was the best course!

They, the people of the Heavenly Demon Sea, were no rash men.

Moreover, the situation was urgent and not the time for unnecessary complications; the Devil Young Master’s fainting was actually a fortunate occurrence.

Ye Xuan and the East Desolate Wolf arrived beside the Qiankun Ancestor and the others.

"Brother Ye," Zhou Jingdu and the others greeted with cupped hands.

"Ye Xuan, I’m sorry," Yao Yueqing said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Why apologize?" Ye Xuan glanced at Yao Yueqing.

Yao Yueqing felt guilty and said, "Had it not been for me, the Devil Young Master wouldn’t have troubled you, and you wouldn’t have offended the Heavenly Demon Sea."

Ye Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Do you think the Heavenly Demon Sea is something I would even regard?"

Yao Yueqing looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, seeing his indifferent attitude, she suddenly felt she might have overthought things.

Indeed, this arrogant and unrestrained person truly didn’t hold the Heavenly Demon Sea in his eyes.

With that in mind, Yao Yueqing scoffed lightly, "Keep being arrogant; you’ll get your comeuppance sooner or later."

Ye Xuan chuckled, "Then you better achieve immortality."

Yao Yueqing looked confused at Ye Xuan.

"Otherwise, you won’t witness that day," Ye Xuan grinned.

Realizing what he meant, Yao Yueqing rolled her eyes, "Keep boasting then."

Ye Xuan smiled, saying no more.

He had suffered many losses, and it was precisely because of those losses that he had become who he was.

Suffering a loss wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The saying "A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit" was applicable here.

"Young master, how do we leave this dead end?" Ao Rulong asked with a serious expression.

Though the jesting between Ye Xuan and Yao Yueqing lightened everyone’s mood a bit, they had to face reality and figure out how to escape this dangerous place.

A malignant force was attacking from behind, and they had witnessed people consumed by the darkness, turning to white bones and merging with the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land.

The Broken Bone Cliff ahead went without saying.

At this moment, they truly embodied the phrase "caught in a dilemma."

Ao Rulong’s question also echoed the doubts in everyone’s heart.

All eyes turned to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan gazed at the Lantern Sea and softly said one word: "Wait."
