As the two beams of sword light approached, the faces of the four supremes revealed a cat-and-mouse delight: you are frantically fleeing, but you probably didnât expect that the path you thought was your best chance of escape would lead to your doom, right?
The sword light drew nearer.
The four supremes were ready to strike!
Once they made their move, it would be a thunderous blow!
Even Chu Yang and Ye Zui had sensed each otherâs presence, but at this moment, both felt utterly helpless.
As long as they entered the mountain, relying on their familiarity with Pagoda Mountain, Ye Zui was more than ninety percent confident he could shake off his pursuers! But the opponents were waiting at the mountain entrance.
They simply could not get in!
What kind of place was Pagoda Mountain? Ye Zui himself wasnât clear; he only knew that this mountain contained countless great secrets, and his Ancestral Patriarch often secluded himself here. Although he had returned home recently, he still drew attention to this area.
Yet, he had never mentioned what was here.
Ye Zui had been to Pagoda Mountain, and one crucial item he possessed had been obtained from the fourth level of this mountain.
Above the third level lay countless mazes, while above the fourth level, there was an utter lack of clues.
On that occasion, Ye Zui had nearly died within.
But Ye Zui believed that even if he had died then, it would have been worth it!
Because after that experience, he had visited Pagoda Mountain over a dozen times but had never found that marvelous place again!
This matter was buried deep within Ye Zuiâs heart, becoming his greatest regret and also his greatest wish!
âŚ
When Chu Yang first laid eyes on Pagoda Mountain, his expression was quite peculiar.
He would bet his entire fortune, even wagering the Nine Calamity Sword: there was absolutely no way he had noticed this mountain when he came from the north!
He had traveled from the north.
But this mountain was in the northeast, only a hundred miles away at most.
How could he have not noticed a mysterious mountain shrouded in mist and soaring into the clouds?
Moreover, from the area where Wei Wuyan had fought, he should have clearly seen it! From the northwest, it could have been spotted from afar!
But he had not seen it at all.
Chu Yang remembered it clearly.
When he rushed in from the northwest, he had specifically gazed to the northeast and saw only a flat plain.
Yet now, traveling from south to north, he was actually confronted by the world-renowned Pagoda Mountain!
What was going on?
âŚ
In front of him, enemies obstructed the way. Chu Yang and Ye Zui had no choice but to confront them head-on.
Breaking through the seal would be their path to survival. If they couldnât break through⌠they would likely have to heed Zhuge Hunâs words: to visit the Zhuge family as guests.
Behind them, several hundred feet away, Zhuge Hun wore a smug smile.
Ye Chenchen often secluded himself on Pagoda Mountain, but he was not present during this period.
Everyone believed they couldnât possibly lay an ambush here, yet he had indeed ambushed them right here!
And Ye Zui had finally fulfilled expectations, taking this path!
Letâs see where you run to!
âŚ
At this moment, there was naturally no Ye Chenchen on Pagoda Mountain.
Moreover, even if Ye Chenchen entered Pagoda Mountain at this moment, he would clearly state: there is not a single person on Pagoda Mountain right now! Absolutely no one exists!
However, at this moment, on the sixth level of Pagoda Mountain, amidst the dense swirling mist, a gray-clad man stood against the wind.
The gray-clad man's entire body seemed to merge into the mist; as the gentle breeze blew, the mist dispersed and reformed, as if he were the wind, he were the cloud.
At this moment, this person furrowed his brow, gazing at the sword light rushing up from below. His eyes seemed to pierce through the distance, taking in the two fleeing figures clearly.
He saw everything distinctly.
Even the injuries on both of them were clear, without a trace missed.
