"It's you?"
Ye Qingyu looked at the person who guarded the fifth checkpoint in astonishment .
The fifth checkpoint was located in a relatively flat valley that was two meters wide . The rocks on both sides of the valley were at least one hundred meters tall and there were many oddly-shaped rocks that poked out as though it was a training ground for horses that was riddled with traps . This path was approximately one thousand meters long and a glimmer of light could be seen at the end of the one thousand meters . This meant that the path after this valley would be extremely flat and would lead right to the top of Capital Sky Peak .
The guardian of the fifth checkpoint had surprisingly turned out to be an old acquaintance .
He was Mo Jin, the round-faced Prince of the Demon Spider Race .
Such a long time had passed since he last saw this Prince of the Demon Spider Race that he had almost forgotten all about this character . The Prince of the Demon Spider Race used to be an influential figure throughout the Clear River Domain in the past but his cultivation was only of Immortal Step realm . Now that Ye Qingyu knew that he was invincible against those whose cultivation was below Quasi-emperor realm, he had naturally forgotten about those who used to pose a threat toward him . He had even forgotten all about the Demon Spider Race .
The round-faced Prince had grown shorter and fatter since the last time they met and his face was also chubbier . His long black robes were full of strange gold patterns and he stood quietly in the middle of the valley and looked at Ye Qingyu mischievously .
He had clearly taken great pleasure in Ye Qingyu's surprise .
"Wa ha ha, I bet you didn't think I would be the guardian of the fifth checkpoint," the round-faced Prince said with a smile and greeted him as though he was greeting an old friend instead of an opponent who he was about to engage in a life and death battle with .
Ye Qingyu nodded .
He hadn't expected it .
He hadn't expected it at all .
The round-faced Prince who he used to know was definitely not powerful enough to appear in such a place .
However, the round-faced Prince now…
Ye Qingyu sized him up seriously for a moment and immediately knew that the round-faced Prince was now definitely worthy of being the guardian of the fifth checkpoint .
He had become stronger .
He had become exceptionally strong .
A dark force that was as abundant as the thunderclouds in a deep abyss surged within his body . As he stood there loftily, his strength was extremely profound with no end in sight . Ye Qingyu felt that if the Prince unleashed a little bit of his strength, he would release an unstoppable force that would be like black clouds crushing down on an entire city .
"You must be very puzzled,” the round-faced Prince said with his trademark lazy smile . He stretched and continued, "Ha ha, in the past, I wouldn't have been able to stand here, so why have I suddenly become so strong? Have you already sensed the powerful dark force within me? I'm guessing that you've naturally come to the conclusion that I've been transformed by the dark forces just like the Greater One Sect and Yang Wanqu, right?"
Was I wrong?
Ye Qingyu carefully probed at the Prince's aura and discovered that there was a minor difference .
While it was true that the force within the round-faced Prince was a dark force, but it strangely lacked the cruel and violent tendencies that manifested in the dark forces of the Greater One Spiritual Master, Yang Wanqu and the others . Instead, this dark force was purer than any dark force he had come across and even more mysteriously, there was a trace of righteousness within this dark force, as though it was so dark that it had become the light .
"You mean to say that you’re not part of the same gang that the Greater One Spiritual Master and Yang Wanqu belonged to?" Ye Qingyu asked .
He recalled what happened during his last encounter with the round-faced Prince .
They had met after Ye Qingyu had stunned Clear River Domain with three sword moves . The round-faced Prince had specially made a trip down to Flowing Light City and met with him outside the city gates . It had been their first meeting but Mo Jin immediately spoke about Ye Qingyu's past and even knew about the White Deer Academy, Deer City, Light Palace, and so on . The Prince's knowledge about his past surprised him and immediately put him on his guard .
It was also during their first meeting when Mo Jin told Ye Qingyu that he didn't dare to attack him . He implied that there was a higher being who wanted to protect Ye Qingyu and according to what the Prince said the last time, this so-called higher being was extremely influential and exceedingly terrifying, someone who even the Demon Spider Race back then didn't dare to offend .
Ye Qingyu had mulled over these words later but he hadn't been able to solve this puzzle .
Back then, he definitely hadn't come into contact nor interacted with any extremely powerful figures, especially not anyone that the Demon Spider Race that held the Immortal God Emperor Sect and the Greater One Sect in contempt could be so afraid of . Ye Qingyu had racked his brains for an answer but failed to come up with a solution . He had ultimately treated it as a casual joke by this mischievous Prince .
Now that he thought about it…
"Of course we're not part of the same gang . Don't lump me together with those creatures," Mo Jin said contemptuously, his voice dripping with disdain for the Greater One Spiritual Master and Yang Wanqu .
"Yet, you've appeared in this place with the same kind of dark energy flowing within your body and blocking my path just as they did," Ye Qingyu said, deliberately fishing for more information .
However, the round-faced Prince Mo Jin didn't fly into a rage like the previous time . He merely laughed and said, "I clearly have my own reasons for doing so . Also, don't tell me with your current ability, you're unable to discern that the dark energy flowing within me comes from the true source . The difference between my power and their fake energy is… Forget it, let's battle first . If you win this battle, I'll let you pass . Ha ha ha, to be honest, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time . I won't have another chance to do so once I miss this opportunity . "
Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a ray of black arrow light .
Ye Qingyu pinched his fingers and wielded them like a sword . He waved his hand and released a flash of sword light .
