Chapter 1407 - 1334: Intercepted
"Brother Ye, you can’t go in, it’s too dangerous." Seeing Ye Guichen wanting to enter the Barbarian Demon Arena, Qin Muge became anxious and pulled Hua Nu over: "Hua Nu, talk to Brother Ye."
"Back then, Hua Nu was also thrown into the Barbarian Demon Arena. He only lasted three minutes and almost died. If I hadn’t begged my father, Hua Nu would have died inside."
Hua Nu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Ye, the situation inside is even more brutal than imagined. You might be outstanding among human cultivators, but the barbarians and evil people in there won’t care about that. When they see human cultivators, they’ll fight with all their might. Their methods are beyond imagination. You may not have fought barbarians before, but I couldn’t even withstand a punch from them. Without His Highness, I’d have long been food for those barbarians."
Qin Muge looked at Ye Guichen eagerly, hoping he wouldn’t enter the Barbarian Demon Arena.
Ye Guichen sighed, patting Qin Muge’s shoulder: "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
He then looked towards the supervisor: "Please, open the entrance."
The supervisor nodded expressionlessly, took out a Bagua disk, and gently twisted it in the center position.
The ground suddenly trembled.
Then, a large door appeared in front of them.
Inside the door, something seemed to sense its opening and let out a roar, rushing out violently.
The supervisor smiled faintly, raising his hand lightly, imprinting a palm.
Sounds of impact and shrieks were heard.
"Please enter quickly," the supervisor’s voice echoed.
Ye Guichen didn’t hesitate, stepping inside.
"Brother Ye!" Qin Muge’s expression changed, and as the door was closing, he stepped in as well.
"Your Highness, what are you doing!" Hua Nu’s face changed drastically, not expecting Qin Muge to rush in.
The supervisor was also taken aback.
But by then, the door was already open.
"Supervisor, what should we do?" Hua Nu looked nervously at the supervisor, momentarily at a loss.
The supervisor frowned, not expecting Qin Muge to trust Ye Guichen so much, glancing towards the watchtower.
Seemingly receiving a response from Qin Cangqiong, the supervisor then spoke: "Life and death are decided by fate; His Majesty’s meaning is that this is also a test for the Second Prince. In that case, I won’t open this door unless absolutely necessary."
Hua Nu stomped anxiously but was helpless.
This Barbarian Demon Arena couldn’t be opened from the inside, only from the outside.
Since the supervisor had said so, Hua Nu could only wait patiently outside, hoping that Qin Muge and Ye Guichen wouldn’t have any accidents.
Meanwhile, inside the Barbarian Demon Arena, Ye Guichen hadn’t had time to observe his surroundings when he heard Qin Muge’s voice behind him: "Brother Ye, wait for me."
Ye Guichen turned around, his face dark: "Why are you here?"
Qin Muge scratched his head: "Brother Ye, although my cultivation is not as good as yours, I’m still a prince, my father’s own son. I don’t know why my father insists on you coming to this Barbarian Demon Arena, but if I follow you in, he definitely doesn’t want to see me die here. If we encounter insurmountable danger, he’ll surely have the supervisor open the entrance, and we’ll get out then."
Ye Guichen was touched upon hearing this, not expecting Qin Muge to be so considerate of him.
It seemed his efforts to protect Qin Muge all this time were not in vain.
"Alright, stay close and don’t stray too far," Ye Guichen thought for a moment and then glanced through Situ Jingtian’s storage ring, quickly finding an extraordinary sword.
The sword, although not as good as those from the Carefree Sword Immortal, seemed to be of the Spiritual Artifact level.
Even outside, it would be a rare treasure.
Ye Guichen, with a thought, took out the sword and handed a storage ring to Qin Muge.
Ye Guichen had four storage rings on him, and he didn’t need that many at the moment, so he gave the smallest one to Qin Muge: "Take this storage ring and recognize it as your master, and this sword is my gift to you."
Qin Muge was taken aback by Ye Guichen’s generosity, stammering in excitement as he received the storage ring.
Though storage rings were not uncommon in the Imperial City, only a few could possess them. As a prince, Qin Muge did have one, but it was too small compared to what Ye Guichen was giving him.
Seeing the sword, emitting spiritual light, it was evidently a valuable Spiritual Artifact.
"Brother Ye, is this really okay?" Qin Muge asked hesitantly.
Ye Guichen rolled his eyes at him: "Just take it. I have plenty, and remember, don’t act on your own."
"Okay, I’ll listen to you." Qin Muge nodded vigorously, quickly putting away the sword and storage ring.
Ye Guichen ignored Qin Muge after that, reaching into his coat and pulling out a small furry creature: "Alright, it’s time for you to come out."
"Roar!"
The palm-sized puppy shook its head, let out a roar, and grew tenfold, turning back into the form of the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf.
Currently, for convenience, Ye Guichen had it disguised as a tiny pup hidden in his coat.
This guy would surely be useful in the Barbarian Demon Arena.
"Who are you people!"
Just as the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf returned to its original form, Ye Guichen and Qin Muge found themselves surrounded by a group of people.
Seven or eight in total.
Each wore tattered clothes, but they looked fierce and carried different weapons.
One of them, burly and nearly two meters tall, held a large copper hammer.
They scrutinized Ye Guichen and the others, a malicious smile creeping onto their lips.
"Oh, what’s up? Did Qin Cangqiong, that bastard, throw you in here too?" the leading burly man spoke up.
Ye Guichen also scrutinized the burly man.
The man’s cultivation was not weak; he had actually reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Moreover, the people accompanying the burly man weren’t weak either, each having reached at least the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
There was also a scantily clad woman whose clothes were extremely tattered, exposing large areas of white skin, a sight that made any man salivate.
The woman’s cultivation was the lowest, but she stood out greatly among this group of men, making Ye Guichen unable to help but have a flight of fancy.
Upon closer counting, there were exactly eight people.
Huh, why does this give me a sense similar to Calabash Brothers with Snake Spirit, or perhaps Snow White with the Seven Dwarfs?
However, it’s just the adult version.
"My name is Ye Guichen, and he is my friend, Qin Muge." Ye Guichen didn’t hold back.
After all, he didn’t know these people.
But judging by their demeanor, it certainly wasn’t friendly.
"Qin Muge? The surname Qin?" Sure enough, upon hearing Qin Muge’s name, the group smiled meaningfully.
Especially the woman, who licked her lips and said, "Brother Long, what are we waiting for, considering our rules here? Let them hand over something worth their lives, and if they can’t, just kill them. Keeping these useless people here will only drain our resources."
"Yes, Brother Long, if those barbarians discover us later, it will definitely be another brutal fight," someone echoed.
Long Kui nodded slightly, "Alright!"
Then, his gaze fell on Ye Guichen, "Hand over your Spirit Stones and weapons, along with any pills, or else, die!"
Ye Guichen chuckled, "What’s this, you want to rob us?"
"Heh, if that’s what you think, then so be it!" Long Kui wasn’t interested in wasting time with Ye Guichen, waving his hand dismissively, "Go, chop off his fingers and fetch the storage ring."
"Alright!"
One person stepped forward, reaching out to snatch Ye Guichen’s hand.
Ye Guichen reversed his grip on the opponent’s wrist, applying a slight twist, directly snapping it.
Accompanied by a scream, Ye Guichen simultaneously kicked out, sending the opponent flying back before Long Kui, "Trying to rob me, you guys are rather unqualified!"
"Oh, daring to strike first!" Long Kui chuckled, kicking the person Ye Guichen had knocked down aside, "Brothers, what are you waiting for, attack!"
Seeing them actually about to act, Qin Muge was so frightened he immediately drew his sword, ready for battle.
Just then, a furious roar came from behind them.
Immediately something flew through the air from a distance.
Bam!
It landed heavily in front of Long Kui.
Ye Guichen glanced down and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
It turned out to be a corpse.
However, the corpse seemed rather miserable.
Its body was brutally torn in half, a bloodied mess.
"Barbarians, the barbarians are here!" someone shouted fearfully.
Upon hearing this, Long Kui and his people showed a dramatic change in expression, "Damn, how did the barbarians move so fast? Quick, prepare to fight!"
Shouting orders, Long Kui quickly turned to face the approaching threat, forgetting about Ye Guichen and Qin Muge.
Soon, three hulking silhouettes appeared.
It was Ye Guichen’s first time seeing barbarians.
Even more shocking than the rumors.
Though there were only three, each had an enormous build.
The leader was surprisingly over three meters tall, shouldering a massive Wolf Fang Club.
The two following could only be slightly smaller, about two meters seventy-eight.
Their bodies clad in animal hides, the exposed skin appeared armored with scales, extremely tough-looking.
"Kill!"
There was no room for words, as the barbarians spotted Long Kui and his team, charging directly.
Someone attempted to block them but was struck by a barbarian’s Wolf Fang Club, sent flying onto a tree, where his body was pierced by branches, dying instantly.
"Seeking death!" Long Kui’s eyes seemed ready to pop out, rushing toward the leading barbarian.
Though Long Kui was quite large, in front of the barbarian he seemed like a child.
He swung his hammer fiercely, but was directly blocked by the barbarian’s Wolf Fang Club.
Then, the barbarian lifted his leg, sweeping it toward Long Kui like a gust of wild wind.
