Chapter 394: Chapter 271: Heavenly Ascension Ladder, Central State Ten Outstanding

To Wang Cangyi, Lu Qing and the others naturally had a deep impression.

At first, they had made a considerable decision to head to the county to assist the Wei Family.

The Wei Family was once oppressed to the verge of extinction.

It could be said that Wang Cangyi was the strongest opponent they had encountered two years ago.

Unexpectedly, after so long, they heard this name again.

“Word has it that after Wang Cangyi retreated in defeat from Cang County, he returned to his sect and entered into secluded cultivation, and now he has reached the Early Stage of the Innate Realm.

His direct senior disciple also stepped into the Innate Realm half a year ago.

This time, three Supreme Elders from his sect are here; if they see you again, they might deliberately stir up trouble.”

“Elder Chen, you should be cautious.”

“How so? Now that we are in the Holy City, would Wang Cangyi dare to violate the prohibition and make a move within the city?” Lu Qing asked curiously.

Lin Zhirui laughed, “There’s something you may not know, Lu Qing. Initially, the Holy Mountain set a ban prohibiting fighting within the city for those of the Innate Realm.

This rule is effective everywhere.

However, there is one city where this ban does not apply.”

“Holy City?” Lu Qing somewhat understood.

“Correct, it’s the Holy City,” Lin Zhirui chuckled, “You might have felt it too, Lu Qing. There’s a peculiar force within the Holy City that suppresses a martial artist’s power.

Thus, even Innate Realm Experts can fight without much consequence.

Moreover, the Holy City has an arena for duels to the death where private feuds can be settled.

If you’re not aware of the Holy City’s rules, you might end up at a disadvantage.”

“I see,” Lu Qing nodded.

It was no wonder it was called the foremost city in the world; its rules were different from others.

However…

Since one can fight in the Holy City, does that mean if he accidentally kills Wang Cangyi, it wouldn’t be considered a violation?

A thought suddenly emerged in Lu Qing’s mind.

Regarding Yan Canghai, Lu Qing didn’t believe the man had forgotten the events of two years ago.

Not to mention, he personally killed two of his direct disciples.

Even if Wang Cangyi wasn’t aware at the time, with so much time passed, he should’ve guessed it was their doing.

With such a deep-seated grudge, he couldn’t believe Wang Cangyi, known for his vengeful nature, could let it go.

So, this hidden enemy was better off dead.

Murderous intent surged silently within Lu Qing, and Lin Zhirui was also discreetly vigilant.

Seeing Lu Qing and the elder doctor received the news about Wang Cangyi being in the city without any perturbation.

Even Ma Gu and Wei Zian, although surprised, showed no fear.

His heart trembled, speculating more about the elder doctor’s abilities.

“Mr. Zhi Rui, you once said, master had a chance on the Holy Mountain, does that opportunity still hold?” Lu Qing asked.

“Of course,” Lin Zhirui nodded, “This opportunity was personally promised by the three Saint Masters, so it certainly holds no falsehood.”

“If so, when might my master be able to visit the Holy Mountain to seize this opportunity?”

“Technically, anytime, but your arrival was sudden, I need to report to the Holy Mountain and check if anyone is going to comprehend the Holy Pool recently.”

“Then, I will have to trouble you, Mr. Zhi Rui.”

“There’s no need for thanks; this is part of my duties.”

Lu Qing and the others chatted for a while, when suddenly, a commotion arose from outside, so loud it almost reached the heavens.

“Mr. Zhi Rui, what’s happening outside?”

Lu Qing listened for a moment, finding the clamor rather spirited and lively, and became somewhat curious.

Lin Zhirui was also listening, quickly understanding what was happening, he said smilingly, “It’s nothing serious, it seems to be young talents from somewhere, once again planning to climb the Holy Mountain Sky Ladder.”

“Climbing the Holy Mountain Sky Ladder?”

Lu Qing and the others were stunned.

“I just mentioned that the Holy Mountain has been covered by a strange force for many years, making it extremely difficult for climbers to reach the summit.

At the foot of the Holy Mountain, there lies a Sky Ladder, rumored to lead directly to the peak.

However, climbing this ladder is even more challenging than other mountain paths.

Each step increases the pressure immensely; only martial artists with solid foundations and strong abilities are even qualified to climb it.

Over tens of thousands of years, countless martial artists, including Innate Realm Experts, have attempted to climb the ladder.

The most gifted among them have even managed to leave their names on the ladder.

This is also one of the biggest features of the Holy City.

Most martial artists coming to the Holy City aspire to climb it, to see if they can make a name for themselves or measure the gap between them and those historically famous supreme talents.”

“Is it that magical?”

Listening, Lu Qing and the others became very interested.

The Holy Mountain indeed stood as the center of the world, even something as simple as this Sky Ladder was a novelty to them.

“Since everyone is so interested, why don’t we also go and watch the excitement?”

Lin Zhirui suddenly suggested, his mind stirring.

“Sounds good.”

Lu Qing too wanted to seize the opportunity to explore the mysteries of the Holy Mountain, so he nodded in agreement.

Only Hu Zezhi hesitated a bit, “But…”

She thought of her own situation.

“Miss Hu, since we can’t deduce the source of your doom,

why not put it aside for now? What’s destined to come will always come; there’s no need to worry excessively.”
