Chapter 1955: Chapter 1948: How Can They Stop Us?
"Bei Xu City Lord, we meet again without any trouble!" A few hours later, that day’s Bei Xu City Lord also appeared on Mount Yushen. With energy surpassing the peak of Dao Realm 500 times, he seemed like a radiant sun in the sky.
"Gu Xiao City Lord too," Bei Xu greeted Zhang Menglong with a nod.
"Bei... Bei Xu City Lord?" At this moment, the owner of War God Palace saw Bei Xu and tears of excitement welled up.
"What’s going on?" Zhang Menglong was stunned.
"Teacher! I never expected you to still be alive!"
"Oh? You are... Kedi?" From the depths of his memory, Bei Xu also recalled the owner of War God Palace standing before him.
Kedi was the name of the War God Palace owner. Although he addressed Bei Xu as his teacher, Bei Xu was not the previous Palace Master of War God Palace but Kedi’s early mentor during his childhood.
At that time
Kedi was a descendant of an ordinary family in a kingdom. Bei Xu had traveled through Kedi’s kingdom and had coincidentally seen Kedi bravely standing in front of a ferocious Warcraft to protect his sister. Bei Xu effortlessly helped him then.
It was just by chance that he found Kedi’s gift suitable, a good seedling for cultivation, gave him some guidance, and left him a cultivation technique, planting a seed for him to become a powerful being.
Later, Kedi began to show his prominence in his Empire, eventually becoming the foremost individual in his Empire and participating in the superpower assessment that year, eventually earning the favor of War God Palace.
In War God Palace, Kedi initially did not stand out much, but he possessed more tenacity and a strong aggression than others. His iron will especially helped him overcome one challenge after another.
This allowed him to live longer than other geniuses of the same era, and he even had many adventures leading him to eventually become the owner of War God Palace.
Of course, during this time, he also inquired about Bei Xu’s whereabouts, but apart from his name, he found almost no useful information, as if Bei Xu had vanished from the world.
In fact, when he encountered Kedi, Bei Xu was only a martial artist at the peak of Divine Cultivator realm. He had occasionally acquired a superpower’s legacy, so he was not interested in joining those eighteen superpowers, preferring to be a lone wanderer.
Entering the Endless Land was actually a helpless move. He had unwittingly provoked a Dao Realm Warcraft for a fruit, that Warcraft pursued him across three Empires, eventually forcing him to the Endless Gate.
Actually, the message of the Endless Land had not yet spread, and everyone only knew it as a one-way path where return was difficult, without other information. But Bei Xu had no other choice at the time, so he entered the Endless Land to escape the Warcraft’s clutches.
Later, after endless years of fighting in the Endless Land, he became the City Lord of a fortress.
His lived era was so distant. After making a loop around the continent, he couldn’t find any acquaintances still alive. Unexpectedly, he found an old friend on Mount Yushen.
Of course, Kedi never expected to meet his early teacher again one day. What was even more improbable was that his teacher had such a good relationship with this young Zhang Menglong, and he keenly noticed that his teacher not only respected Zhang Menglong but also feared him.
Next, some surprising individuals also appeared.
For example, a killing fiend from the era of the five Sect Masters, cornered into entering the Endless Land under the siege of several superpowers, who has now become a martial artist at the peak of Dao Realm with energies over 200 times more than usual.
Such an unruly person was even conquered by Zhang Menglong?
"2231 martial artists at the peak of Dao Realm..." This number made the arms of the five Sect Masters tremble. These people had trained for billions of years in the Endless Land, with over half possessing strength exceeding their own, and even above the Hall Master of Divine Profound Hall.
A few of these individuals could potentially overturn any existing superpower.
"What exactly did he do in the Endless Land to recruit so many powerful beings?" The Sect Masters were all puzzled, suspecting that during these three years, Zhang Menglong must have accomplished something monumental in the Endless Land.
When everyone was present, those on Mount Yushen were left agape with shock—nearly 3 million people, all at Dao Realm. How could the miscellaneous forces of Divine Profound Hall possibly block them?
With such an assembly of forces, were they here to rescue or to conquer an entire continent?
The atmosphere on Mount Yushen instantly lightened with these additions, the pressure in everyone’s hearts dissipating in an instant.
"I can already imagine the expression on the faces of those bastards from Divine Profound Hall."
"Every debt has a debtor; this time, let everything come to an end."
"The world would surely be better without Divine Profound Hall."
...
Divine Profound Hall.
The worn-out Vice Hall Master, Feng Cong, suddenly appeared in Divine Profound Hall’s main hall.
The surrounding disciples instantly showed wary expressions and surrounded him, but upon seeing he was the Vice Hall Master, they immediately lowered their weapons to support him.
At this moment, Feng Cong was withered, teetering, although seemingly without external injuries, his aura had dropped directly from Ninth Grade Dao Realm to Seventh Grade Dao Realm, visibly struggling to support himself.
"Vice Hall Master, are you alright? Didn’t you go to attack Mount Yushen? Why are you the only one returning?"
Feng Cong gave the disciple before him a fierce look, wasn’t his current situation painfully obvious?
The disciple realized his mistake and scolded himself countless times internally.
Why was he so oblivious, clearly the Vice Hall Master had returned in defeat, likely with others lost as well.
But wasn’t Mount Yushen already almost resource-depleted? All five Sect Masters were injured, the remaining forces weak, plus that ferocious Nine Prison Beast, how could they possibly fail?
Could the five sects and Beast Taming Sect also have left behind trump cards similar to the Nine Prison Beast? But why hadn’t they deployed them earlier?
"Vice Hall Master, let me take you for healing."
"First, take me to the Hall Master!" Feng Cong knew it was not yet time for healing, he must quickly relay this news to the Hall Master.
He still remembered clearly Gu Xiao’s words from years ago, to flatten the entire Divine Profound Hall one day.
He disappeared for three years, having thought he had vanished forever, only to return abruptly bringing them a devastating blow to Divine Profound Hall.
Divine Profound Hall Hall Master Ji Xuan also promptly rushed over, seeing the Vice Hall Master’s injuries, his brow furrowed deeply.
"Hall Master, has Gu Xiao’s group returned from the Endless Land?" Facing Ji Xuan, the Vice Hall Master quickly relayed this harsh news.
"This Gu Xiao, could he really be the nemesis of my Divine Profound Hall?" Ji Xuan took a deep breath, for the first time sensing pressure from this youth named Gu Xiao. "Take your time describing, tell me every event and detail without leaving anything out!"
