Chapter 340: Arrival In the Ji Continent
On a small riverbank a hundred or so miles away from the Changfeng City…
Boss Sha lowered his head to look at the spear that was stuck in his chest as he felt the strength draining from his body. Struggling to look at Third Sister Hai, he gasped, “Large… Large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm! No… Grand completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm? What martial intent did you comprehend?”
The spear was forcefully pulled out from his chest and Third Sister Hai flicked it once to get rid of the bloodstains on it. She looked at Boss Sha who had toppled to the ground. She muttered expressionlessly, “My Third Uncle also completed his seventh move when comprehending the Providence Spear Art and he received the title of Soul Tearing Spear when he was in the Martial Intent Realm. Using his experience, I developed my own set of skills. I guess I’ll call my martial intent the Soul Breaking Spear then!”
“Soul Tearing Spear, Soul Breaking…” Widening his eyes in shock, Boss Sha pointed at Third Sister Hai before muttering, “You… You… You’re…”
With his hands falling limply to the side, he was unable to complete his sentence as the light in his eyes faded forever.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, a trace of reminiscence flashed across her face. However, her gaze soon shifted to look at the void several feet away from her. Someone appeared there at an unknown time.
Seeing the appearance of the newcomer, she muttered, “It’s you…”
…
“Is the Sixth Young Master of the Shang Clan present? I am here on Senior You’s orders!”
The person ran towards the City Lord Manor while yelling.
Hearing his familiar voice, Shang Xia’s heart trembled slightly. He thought to himself, “That sounds like Uncle Cen. Youshang seems to have instructed them to come help me out. However, they don’t know who I am yet. Looks like things are going to get awkward…”
Outside the manor, Uncle Cen indicated for his companions who were rushing over to slow down in case the Sixth Young Master of the Shang Clan misunderstood their intentions.
Even so, he had faith that the Sixth Young Master of the Shang Clan would welcome them. He had a hunch that the Sixth Young Master he was looking for was the mysterious Martial Extermination Realm cultivator who saved them when their lives were threatened in the past. The only thing he didn’t expect was for Shang Xia to be in a state of dilemma. Shang Xia didn’t know if he wished to reveal his identity to the others.
An idea appeared in his mind. “Have you met your third in charge?”
Silence filled the air for a second before Uncle Cen’s voice echoed through the air. “Third Sister went to hunt down Boss Sha. She’s dealing with all our loose ends as we speak.
Grunting softly, Shang Xia recalled that the Boss Sha he saw back then was in the large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm. For her to hunt him down… It seemed as though the third in command of the Eighteen Horsemen was the true tyrannical leader among them.
“Assist me to protect the City Lord Manor. Do not let anyone in. Kill anyone who tries to intrude into the manor!” Shang Xia decided to allow them to enter the manor eventually.
As Kou Chongxue went down to the Ji Continent to seek revenge, the most important thing for Shang Xia to do was to protect the patriarch’s way back. Hiding his identity wasn’t as important as that!
Moreover, he would be heading into the spirit cave underground soon. Uncle Cen and the others might not discover him any time soon.
…
In the depths of the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range close to the Ji Continent, the underground river eventually broke through the ground and formed the Thousand Scale River.
It flowed slightly to the east and would eventually end in the sea, and it was connected to the White Deer River somewhere in between.
As the name of the White Deer River implied, it originated from the White Deer Paradise, and they conveniently named the source of the river the White Deer Springs.
Two Martial Extermination Realm experts of the White Deer Paradise were stationed around the Thousand Scale River, and they were Bai Mohan and Zhou Beiyuan respectively. They remained on a small floating platform in the middle of the raging river as they ensured nothing went wrong.
The region where the Thousand Scale River was connected to the White Deer River was stained an inky green, but the colored water only flowed up the White Deer River back to the paradise. Bai Mohan who had been standing there for some time now muttered softly, “Who would have thought that the Thousand Scale River would run all the way through the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range into the Changfeng City of the You Continent? Hah. The Tongyou Institution really overestimated themselves this time. The You Continent is full of backward losers. How dare they try to devour world origin themselves and affect the fate of our White Deer Paradise? Hehe with the energy we took from them, our White Deer Paradise will be able to upgrade to the White Deer Heaven soon!”
The platform they were on seemed to be sitting in the middle of a huge formation, and on the other side of it, Zhou Beiyuan looked down at the water and frowned. “Senior Brother Bai, do you think that the energy is getting more and more diluted?”
“Really?” Bai Mohan went to the edge before looking down at the inky green water. “Hmm… The color looks lighter than before. However, the distance to the Tongyou City is huge. Ancestor Yun Lu only managed to send a fate dipper clone over and it’s impressive he managed to retrieve so much world origin back. It’s fine for there to be some leakage along the way.”
Zhou Beiyuan nodded slightly, but he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Could there be some sort of accident?”
Bai Mohan seemed to have overheard the biggest joke of his life and he roared with laughter. “Hahaha! Junior Brother Zhou, you must be going mad! With Kou Chongxue out of the picture, those weaklings in the Tongyou Institution won’t be able to do a thing against Ancestor Yun Lu! Moreover…”
A mysterious chuckle left Bai Mohan’s lips as he continued, “Do you really think that we’re the only ones who are plotting the institution? Do you think we’re the only ones who’re sending a Martial Dipper Realm expert?”
“Hah! Everyone shoves a collapsing wall! Looks like the Tongyou Institution is finished! But… What if Kou Chongxue reappears?” Zhou Beiyuan sniggered but he seemed to have thought of something.
“There’s no ‘what if’!” Bai Mohan interrupted his junior brother. “Do you know what injury Kou Chongxue is suffering from? His fate dippers are in a state of disequilibrium! For an ancestor at the Martial Dipper Realm, there is no way to cure an injury like that! The moment they fall into a state like that, they can only forcefully prolong their life with the use of their inner qi! If he forcefully makes another move, he’ll shorten his lifespan immensely!”
Even though Zhou Beiyuan and Bai Mohan had close to the same cultivation level, one of them was clearly a lot more knowledgeable about matters at the Martial Dipper Realm. Zhou Beiyuan quickly took the chance to continue asking, “I am truly clueless about such things. However, Kou Chongxue’s reputation is like the sun in the midday sky. He’s the most tyrannical being in the northern continents… How did someone like that fall into the state he is in? “
Bai Mohan grinned haughtily, “Hehe, Junior Brother Zhou, you asked the right person. If you ask anyone else, they won’t be able to tell you anything! This…”
Zhou Beiyuan nodded hurriedly. “Of course! Everyone in our White Deer Paradise knows that Senior Brother Bai is the fifth generation descendant of Ancestor Hua Lu. Your noble self…”
Bai Mohan waved his hand casually and chuckled. “Hahaha, it’s just a mere title. I’m just basking in my ancestor’s glory…”
Even though that was what he said, the grin on his face couldn’t be wider. He failed to hide his arrogance.
“We have to talk about this from the first time he was attacked. In the past, something happened outside the heavens, causing the experts of our Azure Origin World to flock over. No one knew how Kou Chongxue managed to piss them off and he was surrounded by many Martial Dipper Realm ancestors. In the end, he was heavily injured as he fled back to the You Continent…”
Just as Bai Mohan was getting into the climax of the story, he discovered that his junior disciple’s expression wasn’t right. He quickly asked, “Junior Brother Zhou, Junior…”
Zhou Beiyuan snapped back to reality and gasped, “Senior Brother Bai, the flow stopped! The color disappeared!”
“How is that possible?!” Bai Mohan snapped his head around to stare at the water, but he heard a low rumble coming from the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. The originally peaceful water started to ripple violently.
With his expression changing drastically, Bai Mohan roared, “Something happened! Junior Brother Zhou, break the connection! Inform an ancestor immedi…”
Before the words could leave his lips, a bronze streak of light zipped over to the platform they were on. As the streak of light stopped, the body of a sword could be seen hovering in mid air.
A terrifying pressure descended on the two of them and they fell to their knees powerlessly. Neither of them could raise their heads.
“Divine… Weapon… Hidden… Frost…”
Bai Mohan struggled to speak, and when he finally gathered enough strength to raise his head, he couldn’t control his fright any longer.
The Hidden Frost Sword was Kou Chongxue’s personal weapon! It was the weapon the madman used to suppress the entire northern part of the Azure Origin World!
A divine weapon had its own spirit, but without Kou Chongxue’s explicit permission, it wouldn’t allow itself to be controlled by others!
Bai Mohan might be arrogant, but he wasn’t foolish enough to think that Ancestor Yun Lu actually managed to obtain Kou Chongxue’s Hidden Frost Sword. Even though that was truly the case earlier, Bai Mohan had no idea what had happened in the You Continent.
There was only one other possibility. Kou Chongxue had come!
But if that was truly the case, there would be another huge problem. If Kou Chongxue had come, where was Ancestor Yun Lu and his fate dipper?
No, that wasn’t scarier than what was actually happening. The most fearsome thing was that Kou Chongxue had actually descended on the Ji Continent! How was he so confident as to charge into the Ji Continent alone?
A multitude of thoughts flashed through Bai Mohan’s mind as he laid motionless on the platform.
He might have found it terrifying, but his greatest fears soon came true! The Hidden Frost Sword drew an arc in the skies as Bai Mohan and Zhou Beiyuan had their heads separated from their bodies.
Their decapitation didn’t hinder the movements of Kou Chongxue’s Hidden Frost Sword in the slightest; it quickly returned to the river and sped in the direction of the White Deer Paradise.
Kou Chongxue’s soft sigh was all that remained in the air as the sword disappeared. “What a great plan you assholes had… If I didn’t come here personally, I would be letting down the amazing arrangements you laid down!”
