I Really Didn't Want to Become a Sword Saint

Chu You, who transmigrated at a comic convention, only wants to live well in a parallel world where martial arts are practiced.

During the extermination of his clan, he opens the Emiya Shirou...

Chapter 17 Positions and Allies

"Wow! They're all quite cautious. It saves me a lot of trouble. Not bad, not bad!"

Li Yeming looked relaxed. He didn't feel any sense of crisis. If it weren't for the constraints of the Earth's will, he would have slapped away this annoying fog.

"But that guy is still so cowardly. He's obviously the strongest, but he hides at the back of the team. Can't he show off a little bit and let us see~"

Looking at a certain coward who deliberately lagged behind a few steps before setting off, Li Yeming felt really disappointed.

It's not that being cautious is bad, but this guy is too cautious. Although sometimes it is proven that such caution is necessary, we are just rushing to the island, so what danger can these reefs bring?

Look at him... He's just used to it and never thought about anything other than hiding.

"Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling..."

The phone rang. Li Yeming glanced at it and was quite surprised:

"Oh my god! Senior Sister Yang, what's going on? Are you going to come here in person?"

Because the caller was Yang Qiuyan, she asked in confusion as soon as she answered the phone.

"What are you thinking about? It's just Ye Qingxia. He just got promoted to Martial Emperor. Why does he need me to take action?" Yang Qiuyan on the other end of the phone was still lazy.

But these words made Li Yeming even more confused.

He had already reported the emergency at Sangyu College and was waiting for further instructions, but he had not received a reply, so before that, he still followed the original plan.

After all, compared with the changes in the positions of other colleges, the situation of the Saint is more important.

Of course, Li Yeming's original idea was that after Qingshan Academy learned the intelligence, it would send a master, and he would be at the level of the Nine Peaks Master. After all, Ye Qingxia was also a Martial Emperor, so how could an ordinary master be enough to deal with him?

Although District 44 is an overseas island and its geographical location is not important, it is also part of the Earth Federation. How can it be handed over to some emerging human race?

But that was just Li Yeming's previous thought, because Yang Qiuyan on the other end of the phone said:

"Not only will I not come, but no one in the academy has time to go out."

"Um?"

He understood that he wouldn't come, but the fact that he didn't have time was something that Li Yeming should think deeply about.

What does this mean? Has the academy changed?

"Don't worry, this isn't an internal issue. Youxu Academy is trying to win over Taixuan Academy to join the emerging human race. Furthermore, Zhao Hongpu has even sneaked into Tingxian Peak to check on Xinyan. It seems they're truly unsure of the Saint's condition."

"What! Zhao Hongpu from Taixuan College sneaked into the academy. Is there anything wrong?"

"What could be the problem? If something really happened, I would have called you back earlier. Don't worry, Old Quick is keeping him safe!"

Don't blame Li Yeming for making a fuss. The situation was really unexpected. Taixuan College, the third district of the top ten colleges in the Federation, not only pulled them into the emerging human camp.

The vice-president of their academy, Zhao Hongpu, a master on the Heavenly Ranking and an eighth-level Martial Emperor, even took action personally. Although he was not a saint, he was no match for a newly promoted Martial Emperor like Ye Qingxia.

With Ma Changfeng unable to take action at Qingshan Academy, only Uncle Kui and Yang Qiuyan can match him.

Such a big thing couldn't help but surprise Li Yeming.

It's no wonder that the heads of the various peaks are too busy to go out. When something like this happens, it goes without saying that all the follow-up measures have to be taken care of. The security of the academy alone has to be upgraded to a higher level.

The Earth is in troubled times. The top priority is for the Saint to recover, reconnect with the Earth's will, and eliminate alien races.

"Just focus on your mission and don't worry about the academy. If they can recruit allies, why can't we?

"Although the academy is unable to take care of it this time, our allies can. The matter of Sangyu has already been notified to Yinxuan Academy..."

Having allies made Li Yeming feel more at ease, at least he was not isolated and helpless.

As they were both in the top ten academies, the situation here was clear. As long as a master above the Martial Honor Realm came, Li Yeming felt that the matter would be settled.

"Ye Qingxia... Even if he's the Martial Emperor, so what? Do you really think I'm afraid..."

While he was thinking about the follow-up of Sangyu Academy, Chu You and his team had already demonstrated their abilities and successfully landed on the island.

"Is this Dead Leaf Island?"

"I don't see any dead leaves!"

“…”

The group of people who had just landed on the island and were sighing were instantly silenced by the words of the upright young man Wan Shuo.

What kind of person is this? Dead leaves is just a name, there doesn't necessarily have to be dead leaves. You are taking it too seriously.

Although there wasn't even a dead leaf on the island, all I could see was dark brown dirt and rocks...

There is no beach, let alone a mountain road. The visibility is limited to the black land within a range of ten meters. The rest is completely blocked by fog. No one can see clearly and no one knows what is there.

Was it a forest? A monster? Or perhaps another seashore? Neither could I see nor feel it.

This is the reason why everyone sighed, but they didn't expect to get such an answer.

Although it was very depressing, it also relieved a lot of tension.

"Even the bird-chasing senses have been suppressed, which is only twice as good as visibility. In this situation, there's no way to be sure of safety..."

Chu You was also frowning and thinking. The visibility was low and the perception was also not high. The confinement of the earth's will was not only affecting those with cultivation above Rongxu, but also those in the Yuanshen realm.

According to this simple judgment, due to the influence of the environment, the strength that each person can exert on the island will drop by at least two or three small realms. As the fog deepens, it is even possible that the strength will drop by a large realm.

"Based on the academy's past trials, this is only the outermost part of the island. The deeper you go into the heart of the island, the more obvious the impact will be."

Consistent with Chu You's judgment, Sangyu College chose this time to hold the trial. Regardless of the purpose, Liu Hongjie still exchanged some information.

"There's a path here, a path based on experience gained through numerous trials. The outer edges are relatively safe and won't be attacked by mutant monsters."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he always brought Qingshan and his group with him. Because they were in the dark, Xin Qiang and the others didn't know which way to go, so they just followed him for the time being.

After taking out the sword spirit Xiaobai and using it to sense something without any results, Chu You had no choice but to follow.

It seems that the breath sensing between Xiaobai and Qin Yining is only effective within a certain range. If they are too far apart, they cannot find the right direction.

"Wait! Did you just say there was a monster attack?"

I had just landed on the island and I heard some bad news.

"As you can see, this island is filled with abundant spiritual energy, even to the point of forming an impenetrable fog. Without any cultivators to manage it, over time, many animals and insects have naturally mutated and evolved into demonic beasts.

"But dangers and opportunities coexist, so the island also has countless natural treasures. This is also one of the goals of our trial, to take the precious resources on the island."

This was an explanation Liu Hongjie had thought of a long time ago, but it was also the truth, half true and half false, and it was the most difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

For example, at this moment, no one in Xin Qiang's group doubted his intentions.

He had only one real purpose, which was to follow Qingshan and see what they were looking for. This was an academy mission, otherwise why would they follow him into Dead Leaf Island.
