Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1715 Only a fool would establish a sect in the mountains...

"what!"

Everyone paused, then stared blankly at Ye Qing, thinking they had misheard!

"Want me to kill you?" Ye Qing asked.

"No!" The men quickly nodded and said, "I'll take you there!"

Ye Qing looked at Yan Song, who withdrew his oppressive aura. Then the group set off. As they set off, Ye Qing also asked about the Heavenly Dao: "Why did you come to the vicinity of the Thousand Mountains Domain?"

After a brief inquiry, it was found that these eight people had different reasons for coming to the Thousand Mountains Domain.

Some of them were on a sect mission, but everyone else had died, so they didn't dare to go and hid near the Thousand Mountains Domain!

Some were survivors of sect battles, seeking opportunities for revenge in the Thousand Mountains Domain, while also escaping pursuit!

Then they met in the Thousand Mountains region and gradually formed a small group to protect themselves!

The reason for choosing this place is twofold: firstly, it is unclaimed land, and secondly, it has been chaotic for a long time, so most people dare not act rashly here, since there are too many people who would try to take advantage of the chaos.

Thirdly, they can hide in the Thousand Mountains Domain, which is extremely dangerous, giving them a large space to survive.

"What are the main dangers in this Thousand Mountains Region?" Ye Qing asked. "We haven't been here long and don't know much about it!"

"Strange beasts and forbidden things!" their leader exclaimed.

After a brief introduction, Ye Qing learned the name of the leading peak domain lord: Qu Yan.

The woman who attacked Ye Qing was named Wu Jing.

"A strange beast?" Ye Qing asked in confusion.

"Yes, in this Thousand Mountains Domain, there are beast king-level exotic beasts that have not been sealed. Although they are deep within, they occasionally come out to roam. Once they do, they cause a beast tide. Therefore, there are almost no cities on the outskirts of this Thousand Mountains Domain. The closest place to the Thousand Mountains Domain is a sect called the Profound Sword Sect, which has a sage in charge!"

“He used to covet the Thousand Mountains Domain, that lucrative prize. He wanted to build a city near the Thousand Mountains Domain to provide a base for those seeking opportunities there, or for people like us, so he could earn a massive amount of resources!” Qu Yan said. “But a single beast tide completely destroyed his city!”

“From then on, no one dared to build a city here again!” Qu Yan said.

"The second danger is the taboo!" Qu Yan said, "Many people who enter this Thousand Mountains Domain will be tainted by misfortune, and then be completely corrupted, turning into monsters!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I see!"

"Of course, although it is dangerous here, people still risk their lives to enter. Deep within the Thousand Mountains Domain, there is a star-patterned mineral vein, as well as countless spiritual herbs and fruits, rare treasures, and the remains of many dead people. Therefore, countless people still risk their lives to enter it," Qu Yan said.

Before long, they brought Ye Qing and the others to their residence!

However, what really annoyed Ye Qing was that their dwelling was underground. They dug down near a hard surface and then camouflaged the surface, making it generally impossible to spot from the outside!

For cultivators, such harsh conditions are nothing!

"Are most people in the Thousand Mountains Domain like this?" Ye Qing asked.

“Yes! This makes it easier to hide ourselves!” Qu Yan said.

Ye Qing and Yan Song looked around. Through their conversation with the others, they had gained some understanding of the Thousand Mountains Region.

After finishing everything, Ye Qing and Yan Song pulled out a chair and sat down, stroking their chins as they pondered.

Qu Yan and the other eight stood together trembling with fear, seemingly awaiting their fate!

Ye Qing stroked his chin and said, "I have a question for you. Were there any sects near this Thousand Mountains Domain in the past?"

Qu Yan shook his head and said, "No one has ever heard of this. There are many ferocious people in this Thousand Mountains Domain. Unless there are top experts, if two such experts are stationed here, who would dare to establish a sect here? Even an occasional beast tide might directly drown the sect!"

"But there are so many opportunities beyond the Thousand Mountains Domain!" Ye Qing said, "Why doesn't the Xuan Shen Sect open a station there!"

"Cleansing these alien beasts isn't that simple. Even the Xuan Shen Sect would have to use some methods to eliminate those royal-level alien beasts, not to mention the fact that some of them are forbidden!" Qu Yan said. "Moreover, experts above the Venerable level have better options for establishing their own sects!"

"If we can't get rid of these monstrous beasts, our sect won't last long before it's destroyed by them, resulting in heavy losses!" Qu Yan said. "Moreover, most of the people here are evil, and our sect could be plundered at any time after we open it up!"

"Only someone with a screw loose would start a sect here!" Qu Yan said.

The others chimed in.

"Yeah, isn't it brain-dead to open a sect near the Thousand Mountains Domain?"

"that is!"

At this point, they glanced at Ye Qing and Yan Song, whose faces were not looking too good, and then their voices lowered until the entire room was completely silent.

Now it seems that Ye Qing had oversimplified things.

He chose the Thousand Mountains Region, thinking that with Jiji and Ao Jing, the problem of the exotic beasts could be easily solved. However, the two of them are only Venerables, and there are Royal-level exotic beasts in the region. Ye Qing has never seen what Royal-level exotic beasts are like before!

Whether Jiji and Ao Jing can suppress the Emperor-level with their bloodline is hard to say.

The Emperor-level beings possess the combat power of an Emperor; any one of them is like an ancient, colossal beast.

Moreover, these strange beasts lack intelligence and only know how to kill, making them impossible to deal with.

Secondly, the number of saints in the Thousand Mountains Region far exceeds Ye Qing's expectations. They are still having some difficulty dealing with saints, mainly because that bastard big yellow dog is hiding all day long!

It always says it's no good at fighting, but Ye Qing never believes the bastard.

But since they were already there, they had to test the waters!

Seeing Ye Qing's gaze, Qu Yan quickly said, "Seniors, do you really intend to establish a sect here?"
