Chapter 1369: Chapter 1348: Pretty Handsome, But Compared to Me, There’s Still a Gap!
"Cousin, I’m really sorry for troubling you this time." Huang Lin freed himself from his restraints and wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Huang Long frowned, "Cousin, you really should learn some restraint. The grand clan competition is about to start, and you’re out fooling around with Zhou Shiguan, causing unnecessary trouble."
"I had no other choice!"
"Damn it, back when I entered the mountains with Snakehead’s team, even if we encountered a Guardian squad, there were only about twenty of them. But today? Just in that camp alone, there were over three hundred Guardians!"
"I faced a hundred and twenty of them myself!"
"Previously, I’d at most be chased by one or two Guardians. With my Initial-Tier Divine King’s strength, I could easily break through and return to the mountains. But today, it wasn’t one or two Guardians attacking me, it was a dozen or so!"
"Damn it, even if I had seven hands, I couldn’t beat them!"
Huang Lin was immensely frustrated; he never imagined he would end up captured by the Guardians.
If not for the fact that Huang Long also had been out with him before, enjoying with the women Zhou Shiguan brought, he wouldn’t know which relative to call for help!
"Yeah, the Guardian squad today, in terms of both scale and strength, is far stronger than before. No one could possibly break through. Indeed, the increase in guardianship was too sudden, without any warning." Huang Long nodded slightly, then showed curiosity: "But I’ve heard a man and a woman successfully broke through and entered the deep mountains. Do you know anything about that?"
"I wasn’t there, how would I know?"
Huang Lin clenched his fists secretly, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
Clearly, he was unwilling to admit that Ye Huan, the Ancient Martial Artist from the outside world, was stronger, and even more unwilling to admit Ye Huan relied solely on his own strength to bring the Empress into the mountains.
Even though these were the facts.
"Could they have cheated? Could that guy have bribed the Guardians to let him into the mountains?" Huang Long, as the Huang Family’s prodigy and first genius, had long reached the Mid-Tier Divine King’s level.
And this strength was entirely honed through actual combat, with significant merit.
Such a powerful Huang Long, imagined his own fate if encircled by the third Guardian team.
It would certainly be: without any suspense, he would be beaten and captured, just like Huang Lin, and be locked up in the camp!
The third team’s overall strength was too formidable, with a hundred and forty members, led by a High-Tier Divine King.
How could it be possible to break through under normal circumstances?
This was simply unrealistic!
"Yeah, I also think he cheated. Brother, let me tell you, that guy had an outrageously sexy girl with long legs with him. I bet he used her to seduce, probably spending a night with Hu Feng in exchange for letting them into the mountain." Huang Lin’s eyes were filled with venom, his tone heavy with resentment, clearly intending to slander and frame them.
Huang Long thought it over and nodded: "Hm, it’s very possible that what you said is true. Although the Guardian squad’s selection criteria are very rigorous, character is important, but as men, we understand men. If that extraordinarily sexy long-legged woman indeed seduced him to a certain degree, Hu Feng would definitely not be able to resist."
"Forget it, there’s no need to continue this topic; whether they enter the mountain or not, what does it have to do with us?"
"Cousin, just stay at home for the time being, and improve your strength as much as possible. You still have the task of making the Huang Family stand out in the clan competition, trampling over that unknown brat from the Jian Family." Huang Long advised: "This concerns our family’s future, you must remember it. Once we defeat the Jian Family, the Huang Family’s prestige will definitely rise, as will our ranking among the clans."
"I understand, cousin. Don’t worry, I’ll give it my all and crush that brat with overwhelming power to claim victory! I’ll let him know what pure clan bloodline truly means!"
Huang Lin’s eyes were sinister, a trace of killing intent flashing in his pupils.
He couldn’t let go of the resentment he felt for losing miserably to Ye Huan.
Not only couldn’t he let go, but the anger had increased because he was captured by the Guardians while Ye Huan succeeded in breaking through!
He must show off arrogantly at the clan competition to vent his anger!
Of course, before doing that, there was an even more important task he had to complete!
"Ye Huan, Empress, the Endless Deep Mountains are my domain. I’ve warned you countless times not to enter, yet you still dare to step into this hell. You’re really looking for death!"
Huang Lin roared in his heart: "Just you wait, in my territory, I have ten thousand ways to end you, to scatter your ashes!"
After his silent roar, he took out his phone.
He sent a mysterious text to a mysterious number!
"Deploy your people, find a certain man and woman, one named Ye Huan and the other called Empress! These two outsiders have entered the mountains. As long as they aren’t fools, they won’t immediately go into the inner sixth ring area. I suspect they’ll be in the seventh ring collecting information about the mountains during this time. Conduct a thorough search in the seventh ring!"
"Ye Huan is handsome, but there’s a slight gap compared to me!"
"As for the Empress, her legs are stunning, her appearance immediately arouses, and she has a very seductive figure with an authoritative aura!"
"Find this pair and report back immediately!"
After sending the texts, he quickly received a response.
"Young Master, rest assured, we promise to complete the task perfectly!"
Huang Lin put away his phone.
The Huang Family brothers raced back to their family; they didn’t notice that Hu Feng, about a mile away, was also heading quickly into the mountains.
However, Hu Feng’s destination was not the Huang Family within the sixth ring, but... the central area of the mountains!
...
In the Endless Deep Mountains of Huaxia, at a certain peak in the core area.
In the night sky, a brilliant galaxy stretched across the horizon, as if tearing apart the night sky.
Countless stars twinkled, casting a pale blue glow.
It was hard to imagine that at the top of this mountain stood a small village.
And, even at such a late hour, the village was brightly lit.
At this moment, the village’s residents, six old men, were sitting around a wooden house inscribed with "Village Chief’s Home," drinking tea and playing chess, as if waiting for someone’s arrival.
"He’s here." The village chief, Shen Wuque, a white-robed old man with an ethereal aura, slightly moved his ears and, upon hearing a faint wind sound from ten miles away, squinted his ancient eyes and uttered these words.
Moments later.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The wooden door was gently knocked on.
"Master, are you awake?" Hu Feng’s respectful voice came from outside.
"No, come in."
Shen Wuque replied indifferently, with a wave of his sleeve, he swept the unfinished chessboard and pieces onto the side bed.
"Creak," the wooden door was pushed open.
Hu Feng walked in and bowed slightly to the six elders.
The six elders nodded in acknowledgment.
Shen Wuque’s ancient, deep eyes emitted a penetrating gaze, "Have you come to a conclusion?"
"Seeing my state, you should already know the outcome." Hu Feng said helplessly, pointing to his uniform soaked by river water, stained with mud and filth, and his messy hair.
Hearing this, the six elders exchanged smiles and, satisfied, sipped their tea, "That ’youngster’s’ practical combat ability must have greatly exceeded your expectations, right?"
