Chapter 302.3: Why Do You Seem To Look So Sad

On the screen that hung suspended in midair, was a scene of chaos.

Countless spirit beasts broke out from ice, their eyes filled with fiery bloodlust as they pounced upon the crowd of people maniacally.

The scene she saw was nothing compared to the massive stampede that she had encountered before in the past. She had never seen so many spirit beasts moving together at the same time before, like they were being controlled by an evil entity.

However, that was not what caught her attention the most.

It was because among all those people, she had caught sight of several familiar faces, and Qing Bei was among them.

In that instant, Qing Yu seemed to be unable to remain calm, her face grave as she stared at the people she saw before her eyes. She then said slowly through tightly clenched teeth: “What are you trying to do?”

“I did not do anything at all!” Lian Shi said with an upraised eyebrow, the expression on his face one of innocence.

“These spirit beasts have been sealed in the MInd Free Peak’s icy plains for more than a thousand years! Who would have thought that their lifeforce would be so resilient, that actually kept them alive even though so many years have passed.”

He looked at the young lady’s face that was seemingly tense with suppressed rage and then laughed out softly and said: “Those spirits beasts had their freedom that they loved the most taken away, so you can imagine the accumulated rage and indignance that had built up over a thousand years. Sigh~ those people are really so unlucky.”

Qing Yu’s fists clenched up tightly, her gaze fixed unwaveringly upon the people on the screen who were being pursued by those spirit beasts, tearing and rending, fear making them forget that they were all cultivators, with some of them even forgetting to summon up their spirit powers at all and just ended up being brutally slaughtered by the maniacal spirit beasts.

“What do you think? Isn’t it interesting to see all those terrorized people running heedlessly in a frantic panic trying to escape? Coincidentally, that will also serve as a test for all of them as only when one is faced with real danger where they are placed in a life and death situation would you be able to truly see their real capabilities.”

Qing Yu did not say a single word as she watched the scene unfold on the screen, her lips tightly pressed together, looking a little pale and colourless.

Lian Shi had probably noticed that unusual look on her face and he opened his mouth to ask: “What? There is someone you know among them?”

Silent for another heartbeat, Qing Yu finally peeled her eyes off the scene, turning to gaze indifferently at the man. “You came here just to show me this? I have seen it now, so you can now leave.”

Lian Shi froze for a moment, seemingly surprised by her calm demeanor. “You’re not feeling the slightest bit of fear?”

“What is there to fear?”

“With the Mind Free Peak’s manifestation, the people who manage to survive till the end will get recognized. At that time, you will be used to implement our plan to create the strongest weapon, turned into a mindless puppet to be manipulated.” Lian Shi said, the look in his eyes seeming rather conflicted.
