Chapter 1493 - 1490: The Black Cat’s Follow

Speaking, Ye Qiu drew out his longsword and pointed it directly at the shadow, saying, "Today, I must take her out. If you stand in my way, I will carry your corpse past."

Seeing Ye Qiu draw his longsword, Fang Wushang immediately also drew his, standing beside Ye Qiu.

"Fine, fine, fine!" The shadow seemed to be extremely angry, "Since you are seeking death, I will fulfill your wish."

After speaking, the shadow suddenly formed a circle, surrounding Fang Wushang and Ye Qiu within it.

Ye Qiu and Fang Wushang felt as if they were in darkness, especially since this darkness brought fog. If not for standing back-to-back, they couldn't see each other at all.

The black cat on Ye Qiu's shoulder also seemed to be hiding in the fog. If not for the weight on his shoulder, Ye Qiu wouldn't even feel it.

"Ye Qiu," Fang Wushang's voice came through the thick fog.

"I'm here." Ye Qiu immediately responded, letting Fang Wushang feel his presence.

The two raised their longswords in synchrony and charged into the shadow, with their sword lights flickering inside, like meteors cutting through the night sky.

After several rounds, Ye Qiu found that the two of them hadn't caused any substantial harm to the shadow.

Ye Qiu frowned immediately, carefully observing the shadow in front of him, and promptly began using his cultivation technique to attack.

Originally, when they cut through the shadow with their swords, it was like slicing through air, but when Ye Qiu used the Qi Gong Technique, he realized that the shadow wasn't afraid of the sword at all, rendering weapons useless against it.

"Don't use the sword!"

While speaking, Ye Qiu continued using his cultivation technique to attack the black eagle.

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang immediately put away his longsword and also used his cultivation technique to attack the shadow.

In no time, the two had caused substantial damage to the shadow. They gathered power into their fists, directly striking the shadow. The powerful spiritual power created a shockwave, and they heard a miserable scream from the shadow; the surrounding dark fog dissipated immediately.

"Great! You drove it away!" Fang Wushang said joyfully, looking at Ye Qiu.

Seeing the fog clear, Ye Qiu nodded slightly, saying, "It just ran away, not dead; let's leave here quickly."

After saying this, Ye Qiu adjusted the black cat on his shoulder and immediately took Fang Wushang back into the Kunlun Mountain Realm.

"Whew!" Ye Qiu sniffed the cold air and said, "Finally, we're back."

Suddenly seeing the vast, snow-covered ground, Ye Qiu's eyes seemed a bit unaccustomed to it. He glanced at the black cat, still sitting steady on his shoulder.

Ye Qiu sighed and said to the black cat, "I brought you out, can you stop perching on my shoulder like a hawk?"

The black cat seemed to understand Ye Qiu's words, as it jumped off his shoulder and stood in front of him, starting to lick its paws.

"Wow," Fang Wushang said, looking at the black cat, "Can it really understand what you say?"

Hearing Fang Wushang's words, Ye Qiu nodded, saying, "A cat appearing in the Immortal Pavilion is definitely not an ordinary cat. Didn't you notice the shadow kept trying to prevent it from leaving?"

After saying this, he squatted down and looked at the black cat, saying, "Since I called you out, I consider it fulfilling your request. If you have other things to do, you can leave."

After saying these words, Ye Qiu stood up and said to Fang Wushang, "Let's get up and look for that purest place."

Fang Wushang looked at Ye Qiu and immediately nodded. After these two days together, Fang Wushang felt Ye Qiu was a man of great responsibility, with a very charismatic personality that made people want to follow in his footsteps.

"Under the moon, atop the mountain." Ye Qiu thought of this phrase, then continued, "The mountain top refers to the highest mountain in the Kunlun Mountains, right? And under the moon means it's nighttime?"

Seeing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang also nodded, "The mountain top must be the peak of Kunlun Mountain, but whether it's the highest mountain, we don't know. Under the moon could mean nighttime or that the moon is visible from the mountain peak?"

Ye Qiu was also pondering these words and thought for a while before saying, "We can only use the method of elimination now; let's go to the highest mountain of Kunlun Mountain first."

Fang Wushang immediately nodded. She thought Ye Qiu was very smart, and there would surely be no mistake in following him.

"Huh? Why are you still following us?" Ye Qiu turned his head suddenly and saw the black cat was still following them. If he hadn't turned around by chance, he wouldn't have noticed at all.

"Ye Qiu," Fang Wushang looked at Ye Qiu and said, "I think it just wants to follow you."

Hearing Fang Wushang's words, Ye Qiu looked at the black cat and said, "Do you really want to follow me?"

The black cat softly meowed at Ye Qiu; its pupils filled with black, making it appear both clever and cute.

"Alright, if you want to follow me, I'll take you with me, but the place I'm going might be dangerous, so be mentally prepared."

The black cat, hearing Ye Qiu's words, seemed to respond by swiftly climbing back onto Ye Qiu's shoulder, sitting firmly on it.

"It truly wants to follow you," Fang Wushang said, looking at the black cat.

Ye Qiu also nodded, feeling that the black cat not only had an affinity with him but was also very intelligent. If it truly wanted to follow him, he was also happy to have it along.

And so, the two people and the cat began to climb towards the highest peak in the Kunlun Mountains.

Ye Qiu and the others arrived at the base of a peak, Fang Wushang looked up at the towering mountain reaching into the clouds and said, "Is this the highest mountain in the Kunlun Mountain Range?"

Ye Qiu also looked up and observed the mountain whose peak couldn't be seen, "Yes, this is indeed the highest mountain in the Kunlun Mountains."

"It's way too high," Fang Wushang said hesitantly, "How can we climb it?"

"I'll use my cultivation technique to take you up."

Saying this, Ye Qiu extended his hand to Fang Wushang, and as she looked at Ye Qiu's hand, she slowly placed her hand in his.

Ye Qiu gripped Fang Wushang's hand, took the black cat off his shoulder, and handed it to Fang Wushang, saying, "Hold tight!"

With these words, they began to swiftly climb the mighty peak, one person and one cat.

The cold wind whistled past their ears, and Fang Wushang could only tightly hold the black cat in her arms, closing her eyes and letting Ye Qiu lead her higher.
