Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1409 Balance

This time, compared to a week ago, Ye Qing had become much stronger. He tormented his opponent for a whole night and killed a total of seven people!

There were 64 people from the Heavenly Court who entered this place. Including Yun Daoren and Ping Gu, there were a total of 66 people. However, Yun Daoren and Ping Gu were driven away after entering.

At this moment, Ye Qing's two surprise attacks killed twelve people. Adding the peak domain lord mentalist who died earlier, they now only have fifty-one people left.

They could clearly sense that Ye Qing had become even stronger than he had a week ago.

Moreover, Ye Qing's attacks are always deadly, and almost no one can withstand them.

This caused a heavy sinking feeling in their hearts.

After Ye Qing left, the group of holy sons and daughters from the Heavenly Court in this cave all looked dejected.

"Why don't we separate?" Shen Rong said at that moment.

Gu Mo frowned and said, "Separate? Have you thought this through? Not to mention that Ye Qing has a Venerable-level beast by his side, I think that even if all of us were to fight him alone, we probably wouldn't be able to defeat him!"

Shen Rong said, "But gathering together is too costly. Twelve people have died in two separate incidents. I can sense that Ye Qing is getting closer and closer to the peak of the Domain Lord realm. If he reaches the peak of the Domain Lord realm and then finds us, none of us will survive! If we split up, and some of us are lucky enough not to be found, we might be able to break through to the Venerable realm and leave this place to survive!"

“If we stay together, we won’t even be able to cultivate in peace, constantly worrying that Ye Qing will come looking for us!” Shen Rong said.

Yunyi said with a grim expression, "Ye Qing doesn't dare to confront us directly now. As long as we keep an eye on each other at night, he won't have a chance to succeed. If we're discovered to be separated, we'll both die!"

Yunyi didn't want to die.

Ye Qing isn't targeting the Holy Sons and Daughters right now, which means that even if Ye Qing comes back later, they probably won't be in danger!

Others can die, as long as he doesn't.

What he needed to do was seize the time before everyone else died, break through to the Venerable Realm, and then leave this place.

"Yunyi is right!" At this moment, one of the people from the Twelve Palaces spoke up: "As long as we are careful and do not give him any chance to launch a sneak attack, we can hold out!"

Shen Rong's expression shifted between light and dark.

Chen Sixue quickly added, "Senior sister, what they said makes sense. If we split up, no one can guarantee that we won't be the ones Ye Qing finds! It's safer for us to stick together!"

Chen Sixue was the most afraid, because she had a grudge against Ye Qing!

In fact, she was also puzzled. Ye Qing had fought them three times already. Putting aside the first time, Ye Qing could easily kill them each time after that, but he had never killed her.

Shen Rong took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"

In fact, Shen Rong had also considered what Yunyi had thought of, but he was worried that Cao Luo and Chen Sixue would die!

Both of them were very important to the academy.

Moreover, if they break through, the danger level will greatly increase if Chen Sixue and Cao Luo remain in this place.

She wanted to act alone so that she could find a safe place for the two of them.

In the world of the academy, Shen Rong treated her junior brothers and sisters quite well.

……

At this moment, Ye Qing and the big yellow dog were hurrying back to their place. As Ye Qing walked, he pondered and said, "Actually, I'm thinking about something!"

"What do you mean?" the big yellow dog asked.

"You know... if I kill most of the people, and then spare a few to allow them to break through and leave safely!" Ye Qing said, "Do you think the Heavenly Court will start to suspect each other?"

"Tsk tsk!" The big yellow dog looked at Ye Qing with great interest and said, "You kid, after breaking through to the Domain Lord level, you really became a bit too cunning. The magician characteristic and the mental power characteristic can neutralize each other. These two characteristics are considered relatively strong among rare characteristics, but there are not many magicians and mental power masters at high levels. Mental power masters will become more and more cunning in the later stages, and eventually become crazy."

"And most people with the Magician trait will eventually be affected by it and become insane!" the big yellow dog said. "These two traits appearing in you are balanced, but your mental strength is increasing too fast. If this imbalance occurs, problems will arise!"

"That's something for later. Just tell me if my explanation is acceptable!" Ye Qing asked.

“There’s a certain probability, but it’s probably very small!” the big yellow dog said. “They’re just a bunch of little guys after all. Emperor Karma and Emperor Apocalypse wouldn’t fall out over something so small! And for the time being, their interests are aligned, but mutual suspicion is a possibility! I think you can give it a try!”

"By the way, you said magicians can go crazy?" Ye Qing asked. "How come I've never heard you mention that before!"

"Do you know why a mentalist can become mentally ill?" the big yellow dog asked.

"It's because after the promotion, my mental strength became too powerful, which affected me," Ye Qing said.

"That's only one reason!" the big yellow dog said. "Another reason is that as the range of your mental power expands, although you can see more things, the processing and filtering of information requires enormous computing power, which can overload your brain!"

"As for the characteristics of magicians, most magicians are rather eccentric, like to show off, and are romantic..." the big yellow dog said, "But in the later stages, under the influence of these characteristics, they all develop an obsession with magic. Between these two characteristics, the high-intensity mental power of the psychic can balance the magician's obsession, while the magician's eccentricity can reduce the influence of the psychic on themselves!"

"If you lose this balance, the impact will become significant as your strength increases. Your mental power really can't improve any further!" the big yellow dog cursed.

"This thing has no say in my own life!" Ye Qing said. "When I cultivate, these characteristics are all achieved by the ancient bronze tree absorbing energy on its own."
