Chapter 302: Kunlun Heavenly Lake

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Luo Yun’s explanation, Ye Qiubai and the other two learned that it was the Kunlun Heavenly Lake.

It was a blessed land in the entire boundless world.

Snatching the fortune of heaven and earth!

It was located in the depths of the Kunlun Snow Mountain in the west. It was a pool of water completely formed by pure spiritual qi.

The Spirit Qi inside was extremely dense.

It would be opened once every 10 years.

The opening of the Kunlun Heavenly Lake this time was a month later.

Every city would have a corresponding quota and Dragon Enlightenment City had three spots.

In order to fight for these three spots, the three families and the City Lord’s Manor would hold a competition for the spots ten days before the Kunlun Heavenly Lake opened.

As for the Kunlun Heavenly Lake quota that Yang Qi had promised, in fact, he was using the Yang family’s quota competition to fight for it himself.

However, if it was a rogue cultivator or another faction, he did not even have the qualifications to participate in the competition.

He Lin smiled and said, “Entering the Kunlun Heavenly Lake is only limited to the younger generation below the Martial Monarch Realm.”

“So, with Brother Ye’s strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to fight for a spot.”

For that matter, He Lin did not say it for the sake of flattery.

It was because Ye Qiubai and the other two indeed had such strength.

After all, if the three of them joined forces, they could kill a half-step Martial Monarch Realm expert who could break through to the Martial Monarch Realm.

One had to know killing and defeat were two different concepts.

Therefore, with the strength of the three of them, it was more than enough to obtain a spot in this small Rising Cloud City.

Ye Qiubai also looked at Blackie and Shi Sheng and smiled. “What do you think?”

Shi Sheng said, “We’ll listen to Big Senior Brother.”

Blackie also nodded.

To them, what they needed now was to gain experience and quickly increase their strength.

Only then could he deal with what would happen next.

Seeing this, He Lin also smiled and said, “Alright, 1’11 bring you to the Yang family.”

At this moment, the Yang family was not in a good state.

Industries and forces were lost under the erosion of the Li family and the Kang family.

At the same time, with the current state of the Yang family, they could not obtain much help at all.

Even the Long Family far away in Longqi City could not help in time.

This led to…

If there was still no countermeasure.

Perhaps in three days, the Yang family would be completely corroded!

At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Yang family.

The current Patriarch of the Yang Family, Yang Zhenhuai, sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression.

Below them were the elders of the Yang family and Yang Qi.

Yang Zhenhuai said in a low voice, “Tell me, what other ways do we have to break out of this situation now?”

The elders’ expressions were as dark as water, their eyes were filled with worry, or they were in despair.

Yang Zhenhuai looked at the elders and sighed in his heart.

What he was afraid of was not the difference in strength.

Instead, he was afraid that the people outside had not completely broken in.

Their internal fighting spirit had already been completely lost.

Yang Zhenhuai looked at his son, Yang Qi, and asked hopefully, “Qi’er, do you have any ideas?”

This was his son, and he was also the successor of the Yang family.

All along, Yang Zhenhuai had high hopes for Yang Qi.

Yang Qi thought for a moment and said solemnly, “The top combatants of the three parties won’t attack easily.”

“This is also a rule set by the City Lord’s Manor.”

After all, the top cultivators of the three clans had all reached the Intermediate Stage Emperor Realm.

Once such an expert attacked, it would definitely cause great damage to Rising Clouds City!

“Therefore, this is bound to be a battle between the middle-level combatants and the lower-level combatants.”

“However, our Yang family’s mid- and low-level combat strength is obviously not as much as the Li family and Kang family’s combined forces.”

“Previously, 1 also thought of giving out a reward to ask the mercenary group of the Mercenary Guild for help, but the other party also thought of this.”

Yang Zhenhuai nodded.

As the head of the family, naturally, he knew about this matter.

Not to mention that their resources were severely insufficient.

There was no way he could compete with the Li and Kang families for the Mercenary Guild.

As for the battle between the three major factions of Rising Clouds City…

No matter which side he helped, it would be a thankless task.

Therefore, very few mercenaries in the Mercenary Guild would choose to accept this mission.

Even if they joined, they chose to join the Li family and the Kang family.

Based on the win rate of both sides, the Yang family was now just a candle in the wind.

Destruction was only a matter of time…

An elder said, “Doesn’t that mean that there’s no way out?”

“The news from Dragon Enlightenment City is still on the way. I’m afraid we’ll be expelled long ago by the time the Long family reinforcements arrive!”

Yang Zhenhuai asked, “Qi’er, you mentioned before that there’s a three-man mercenary group in the Mercenary Guild. How are they?”

Yang Qi shook his head and said helplessly, “They haven’t returned to Rising Clouds City yet. However, I’ve already asked them to help pay attention. If they return, they will tell us the reward we gave.”

“As for whether I’m coming or not…”

Yang Qi was not sure either.

The two sides did not have much of a relationship after all.

At this moment, someone ran in from outside and reported, “Patriarch, there are two mercenary groups outside.”

Yang Qi was pleasantly surprised.

Yang Zhenhuai also hurriedly said, “Let them in.”

The servant nodded in agreement.

He invited the mercenary group in.

The people who came were the six people from the Scales Mercenary Group and the grass mercenary group led by Ye Qiubai.

When Yang Qi saw Ye Qiubai and the other two, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, he stood up and quickly walked in front of Ye Qiubai. He smiled excitedly and said, “I’ve been looking forward to you guys coming!”

Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “I’m just doing it for money.”

When Ye Qiubai said this, Yang Qi also revealed a happy expression.

This also meant that Ye Qiubai had agreed to the Yang family’s reward!

Yang Zhenhuai also smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve heard Qi’er mention your strength. As long as you can help the Yang family tide through this crisis, the three of you will participate in the spot competition at the Kunlun Heavenly Lake.”

Hearing this, the elders’ expressions changed drastically.

The fight for the spot in the Kunlun Heavenly Lake!

This was one of the most important resources of the Yang family!

An elder hurriedly said, “Family Head, isn’t it too much to use this as a reward?”

“If their strength is sufficient to turn the tide, then it would be fine if they were to give it to them. However, they are merely three people of the younger generation. How could they promise such a heavy reward?”

Ye Qiubai and the other two’s expressions didn’t change.

Regarding this matter…

If the other party did it, Ye Qiubai, Shi Sheng, and Blackie would act according to the agreement.

If the other party didn’t give it to them, they could just turn around and leave.

Yang Qi’s face was gloomy.

Yang Zhenhuai was even more frustrated.

A large part of the reason why the Yang family declined in this generation was because of this group of elders who were a little muddle-headed!

“If the Yang family is gone, then what’s the use of us taking these spots?”

“Furthermore, even if the quota for the competition is given to your juniors, what ability do they have to win?”

The elders’ faces alternated between green and red.

“But they are outsiders after all!”

“Furthermore, even if their strength is not bad, what’s the use of just the three of them?”

At this moment, Yang Qi interrupted them.

“I’ll use my identity as the successor of the Yang family as a guarantee.. If they’re not strong enough and have no effect on this matter, I’ll leave the Yang family myself!”
