Just the day after the event outside Azure Dragon Ravine, the entire Eagle Gorge Area erupted like a volcano, thoroughly shaken.
Sima Kun died, a dignified expert of the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm! It's truly hard to believe, so this region was completely and utterly shaken, shocking all directions!
Of course, the most important, most astonishing fact isn't just this! It's that the Second Elder Pei Pengxiao, Third Elder Pei Xuandong of the Pei Family, and even a mysterious expert of the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm personally came, yet in the end were forced to retreat in shame! The reality of it!
This is what is truly shocking, steeped in a storm as fierce as an angry sea!
It's important to note this is not an era of war, no terrifying wars occurring, in a small place like their Eagle Gorge, for an expert of the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm to die, it's incredibly difficult!
And to say that the Pei Family came with such might, yet in the end, chose to retreat in disgrace! How formidable is the Pei Family?
Occupying almost half the vast land of Eagle Gorge, backed by the main branch of Pei Family of Ghost Wolf City, such an overwhelming force! Furthermore, this time, a mysterious expert of the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm arrived, what's the meaning of that?!
Put it this way, if an expert of the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm appears now, even if he wants to go to the Great Palace Master position of Purple Flame Palace, the Great Palace Master would only have to squeeze out a smile and let him sit thereā¦
But what now? Such a figure personally acted, yet what did it yield? A disgraceful retreat!?
It's simply unbelievable! Hard to believe.
Yet the facts are there, starkly placed before the eyes, undeniable! As a result, many people want to uncover the truth, to know what exactly happened, what transpired?
However, many informed individuals, or those who personally witnessed the battle, all unanimously chose to remain silent, full of reservation! Deeply apprehensive! Unwilling to speak more.
The reason for this fear, likely because the shameful party was the Pei Family, if things blew up further, they all could be charged with inciting the chaos, getting discovered would be terribly unfortunate!
Moreover, Chen Fei's dominance and forceful presence left too deep an impression on them!
Thus, they now seem more hesitant, unwilling to provoke Chen Feiā¦
And so, the more intense the curiosity for those eager to know about the incident, the more tantalizing it feels, insatiable!
And because of this, more people have entered into discussions about the incident, spreading throughout the entire Eagle Gorge, even to more distant regionsā¦ But at this time, Enlightened Deity Cave is facing a great calamity!
Eagle Gorge, Cloud Dragon Mountain, atop the forbidden peak.
Currently, it's nighttime, silent.
But at this time, outside the forbidden cave mansion that typically only allows entry to the current Sect Master of Cloud Dragon Mountain, Blackwind, it's unexpectedly crowded with people! Dense, led by Blackwind and those Elders, standing silently.
Blackwind stands at the very front, behind him are the Five Guardian Elders of Cloud Dragon Mountain, no, that's incorrect! Now it's just three, because Qin Liefeng and Lau Pang are already deadā¦
Everyone stands quietly, buffeted by the cold winds from the mountaintop, those with weaker cultivation level feel their skin as though it's being cut by knives, painful.
Yet not one person shows any impatience or urgency on their faces.
Many of them even reveal eyes brimming with excitement! Extremely thrilled.
It's as though they are eagerly awaiting something.
Boom!
At this moment, suddenly, a terrifying aura emerges from the forbidden cave mansion at the peak, immensely powerful, causing the pupils of everyone present to shrink to pinpoints!
Immediately, almost everyone present seems unable to control their expressions any longer! Fully excited and boiling over.
Led by Blackwind, everyone bows, with some even kneeling!
Blackwind's eyes tightly fixate on the cave mansion door, his lips trembling, "Congratulations Ancestor on recovering and emerging!"
Everyone else also performs grand bows: "Congratulations Ancestor, felicitations Ancestor! On recovering and emerging."
Bang!
The forbidden cave mansion door is suddenly thrust open, spiritual light surges out from within, immensely radiant, seemingly lighting up the dark night. In that light, a figure slowly steps out from the mansion door, full of dignity.
"Hmm, all gathered?" The man looks down imperiously, his gaze indifferent towards the crowd, speaking calmly. His attitude seems to disregard all the people present.
Yet even so, his prideful attitude does not arouse any dissatisfaction among Blackwind and the others!
Because this person, indeed has the right to be proud within Cloud Dragon Mountain!
This figure is none other than the Ancestor who guards Cloud Dragon Mountain!
An expert of the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, Yu Tan Taoist.
Not only that, his injuries have finally healed now.
"Ancestor." At this moment, Blackwind speaks up again, looking at Yu Tan Taoist: "Your injuries have finally healed, haven't they?"
"Of course!" Yu Tan Taoist nods arrogantly, tone somewhat displeased, but facing Blackwind, he purses his lips, saying nothing further, instead asking indifferently: "The situation after my retreat, what about the Enlightened Deity Cave, speak."
"Yes!"
Blackwind nods, and begins reporting matters to Yu Tan Taoist, item by item, systematically.
"To my knowledge, Enlightened Deity Cave has been secretly extracting the Black Profound Copper Vein! Moreoverā¦"
His narrative seems precise and detailed, besides major events, minor affairs are mentioned briefly. Of course, the main points he reports to Yu Tan Taoist are overwhelmingly concerning Enlightened Deity Cave, regarding the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein.
Of course, for discretion, in the public eye, he says Black Profound Copper Vein, omitting the 'Essence'. All others present intently listen.
After Blackwind finishes his final sentence, he finally falls silent.
"Enlightened Deity Cave? Enlightened Deity Caveā¦ haha, I don't know how such weeds sprouted, now that I'm out, might as well pluck them outright! No need to watch such an eyesoreā¦"
As he speaks, Yu Tan Taoist's mouth curls into a faintly proud cold expression. Then he reveals a grim smile, looking towards the direction of Enlightened Deity Cave, raises his hand, commanding coldly.
"Deploy the troops then!"
Bang!
As soon as his words fell, a terrifying aura burst forth from him! Vast and formidable, frighteningly so. Yet it excites all the disciples of Cloud Dragon Mountain present immensely!
With the strength of their Ancestor of Cloud Dragon Mountain, Yu Tan Taoist, restored and enhanced! This is incredibly good news for them.
Subsequently, Cloud Dragon Mountain quickly organizes its forces, massively descending the mountain, heading towards Enlightened Deity Cave.
...
At this time, outside Enlightened Deity Cave, Mon Yi is patrolling outside the cave mansion.
However, at this moment, a small demon beside him suddenly points a finger towards the distant mountain gate, pale with shock, gasping and tremulously says, "Mon, Mon Yi my lord, you, you look quickly! What's that!?"
"Talking like that, what nonsense? Shut upā¦" Mon Yi frowns and scolds, but as he turns around to see what's happening, his expression changes sharply, even his pupils shrink to pinpoints.
Just outside the mountain gate of Enlightened Deity Cave, on the distant mountain ridge horizon, squads of troops, bearing flags, rush aggressively, filled with killing intent, approaching rapidly from afar!
On the banners fluttering in the wind held by one squad after another, both the front and back are emblazoned with the words 'Cloud Dragon Mountain'.
The characters are lively and vibrant, seeming engraved by iron, the black lettering filled with a chilling auraā¦
