The army of people headed into Mount Tianyao together. The City of Qingzhou had never had an expedition of this level before.
Mount Tianyao covered a large area of terrain, far larger than that of the main urban areas of Qingzhou City. It was difficult to imagine how many demons and monsters lurked in these mountains. Many people had attempted to clear Mount Tianyao of demons and monsters but to no avail.
Now, because of Xia Fan, Qingzhou Academy and the city’s first line of defense, the Dark Qilin Knighthood, were forced to send troops of people into the mountains. In addition, the Qingzhou Guards and Heiyan City’s army were following behind them. The sheer number of people there was seemingly more impactful than the monster tide.
The Dark Qilin Knighthood charged forward on the path that Qingzhou Academy’s School of Divination Arts had cleared for them using sorcery. Their advance forced the demons and monsters deeper into the mountains, but Qin Shuai was not excited about this at all. The troop was attacking at full-force, but there were still demons and monsters slipping past them left and right into the main city. All they could do now was try their best to eliminate as many demons and monsters as possible.
“Lead the way,” Xia Fan ordered the middle-aged man ahead of him. His people had left markers in the mountains the last time they were here looking for the historical remains of Emperor Ye Qing.
Ye Futian and the people of Heiyan Academy were walking at the back of the group. He had already made some inquiries. Ye Futian found out that the girl beside him was named Tang Yue, twenty years old. She was definitely a flirtatious beauty. Ye Futian and Tang Yue got familiar with each other fairly quickly.
“Senior Sister, a beauty like you must have many suitors, right?” asked Ye Futian.
“Why do you ask?” laughed Tang Yue.
“Do I have a chance?” he asked her. She looked at Ye Futian and chuckled, “You do look pretty handsome but it’s a shame that you’re a little too young for my liking.”
“Senior Sister, I’m already an adult. Sixteen is not too young,” said Ye Futian. When Tang Yue saw how serious he was, she could not help but burst out in laughter. The young men of Heiyan Academy glared at Ye Futian when they heard Tang Yue laughing.
“Senior Sister, do you know why we’re here?” asked Ye Futian.
“The elders say that there are historical remains in Mount Tianyao,” explained Tang Yue.
Ye Futian shook his head. “Senior Sister, let me tell you a secret.”
He then leaned in close to whisper softly in her ear, “In Mount Tianyao, there is a secret methods index left behind by Emperor Ye Qing.
Tang Yue’s expression turned serious and she looked at Ye Futian. “Is what you said true?”
It looked like Xia Yan had, indeed, kept this information to himself. It was hard to blame him though because this had to do with Emperor Ye Qing so, of course, he would keep quiet about it.
“Of course! My master is ‘THE’ Hua Fengliu and I also know General Qin. It’s only natural that I know this secret. Why else would they have made such a big fuss?” said Ye Futian.
“Wait for me here,” Tang Yue finished her sentence and left. Ye Futian watched as she walked up to speak with the elder that had wanted to challenge Hua Fengliu and made her way back. “Come with me,” she said to Ye Futian.
He followed her to stand in front of the elder who had his eyes closed. “Where did you hear this information?” the elder asked Ye Futian.
“May I ask what your position is at Heiyan Academy?” questioned Ye Futian.
