Chapter 958: Chapter 957: A Terrifying Existence
The people present saw the solemn expression on Alliance Leader Yun’s face and calmed down from their excitement. They didn’t think that Alliance Leader Yun was lying, because the Treasure Tower and Cloud Tower of Cloud Fort were built at the Cloud Realm Center. It wasn’t that no one coveted the treasures of Cloud Tower, and indeed, some had ventured into the Cloud Realm, but none returned. Over time, it became well known that the Cloud Realm was a forbidden territory of Cloud Fort.
And now, Alliance Leader Yun mentioned that the Third Elder and ten disciples of the fifth or sixth levels had fallen. Disciples of such levels had exceptionally high potential, yet they all perished. How terrifying must the Cloud Realm be?
"Alliance Leader Yun, what exactly is in the Cloud Realm?" someone asked.
"As for what the Cloud Realm holds, even I don’t fully know. But one thing is certain; it’s easy to lose your way inside the Cloud Realm. Moreover, Cloud Fort has been established for hundreds of years. The first Fortress Master of Cloud Fort began managing the Cloud Realm. After so many years, could the things inside keep growing or getting bigger? I do not know," Alliance Leader Yun replied solemnly. "So I’m not just trying to alarm everyone. I hope you won’t rush into peril thoughtlessly."
The crowd began to whisper among themselves.
Wufu said, "That’s strange indeed. The Cloud Realm of Cloud Fort is just about a hundred miles from Changan City, yet with such a terrifying existence there, why is Emperor of Nanyue so calm? Isn’t he afraid something peculiar from the Cloud Realm might break out and rush into his territory?"
Ah Jiu was speechless.
Master Gui chuckled and said, "This is why Cloud Fort has stood strong for so many years, and why the Imperial Family allows its growth. Firstly, because of Cloud Fort’s strength, and secondly, due to the reason of the Cloud Realm. Since Cloud Fort was founded, its geographic area has expanded, and its population has grown. One reason, aside from never moving from this place, is also that the imperial court won’t allow it to be moved. Otherwise, how would the Cloud Realm be managed? Who would guard it?"
"The Cloud Realm was discovered by the first Fortress Master and a few disciples when they traveled to this area and chose this geographical environment to establish the faction. The Cloud Realm, moreover, was found to be the best training ground, so over generations, through countless efforts and lives, they gradually enclosed it into a forbidden secret land and built the Cloud Tower within it," Ah Qi added.
Wufu thought for a moment and said, "As for why the things inside don’t break out, actually there’s another point—people fear fierce beasts, and fierce beasts also fear people. If humans don’t actively attack them, the beasts won’t necessarily come out and court death. Of course, there are exceptions."
Master Gui was somewhat surprised and said, "Xiao Five’s insight is quite different."
Wufu chuckled.
"Since that’s the case, why does the Alliance Leader believe Yun Feiyang is still alive?" someone asked.
"Naturally, traces of him have been discovered," Alliance Leader Yun said.
"If that’s so, doesn’t Yun Feiyang have extremely high martial arts skills?"
"Indeed, he escaped inside, and it’s been half a year, hasn’t it? It’s truly impressive that he’s still alive."
Wufu also felt that Yun Feiyang indeed had some skills, surviving for half a year in a jungle. He must have figured out better ways to avoid the creatures inside to keep himself safer.
The only thing unclear is why he hasn’t managed to escape yet. But from this perspective, the Cloud Realm is indeed terrifying.
Wufu looked over at Ah Jiu, suddenly feeling hesitant. A gentleman does not stand near a dangerous wall, and perhaps he shouldn’t take this risk.
Ah Jiu met Wufu’s hesitant gaze, curled her lips slightly, and gave him a reassuring look.
