The Battle Through Heaven
Zhen Gui Pass! Old acquaintance!
Xiao Yan's group got closer to their destination after two long flying months. According to what the map showed, they would soon be able to reach the borders of the Jia Ma Empire …
Time flowed in the midst of this boring flying. When that endless long journey once again passed through the majestic mountain range, the outline of a fortress appeared faint at the end of their gaze.
The fortress was built against the mountains, looking like a ferocious tiger guarding the key route leading from the empire to its exterior. Anyone who wanted to leave the Jia Ma Empire had to pass through this enormous fortress. This heavily guarded fortress had swallowed an unknown number of ghosts. They were the ghosts of the people who died on the battlefield during these years. It has also caused many kingdoms to roam in fear like people who are afraid of tigers.
Therefore this fort has a rather fierce name.
The Zhen Gui Pass! (Ghost Crushing Pass)
A smile slowly froze on Xiao Yan's face as his gaze swept toward the outer lines of the great fortress in the distant horizon. He stood on top of the giant head of the Tiger Eagle Beast and looked down at the city fortress which was still emitting a terrifying aura despite the great distance. A moment later, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and rapidly widened. Finally, the roaring laughter that had been suppressed for three years sounded like thunder in the sky!
” Jia Ma Empire, I, Xiao Yan ... have returned! ’
Laughter rolled like thunder in the sky. However, there was usually almost no one in this location. Otherwise, he would definitely attract the gazes of a countless number of people.
The people in the ten plus flying beasts watched Xiao Yan who rarely forgot himself as they cast their shocked gazes. This was the first time they had seen Xiao Yan, the person who had always smiled warmly and had never looked confused, forgetting himself.
” Is this place the Jia Ma Empire? ” Lin Yan and the others standing in front were somewhat curious. Their gazes looked towards the fortress that was very far away and asked.
”Iya. This was the border fortress of the Jia Ma Empire. We can be considered to have entered the Jia Ma Empire after we passed this place. ” Xiao Li nodded and said.
” Back then, I escaped from this place when I was chased by the Misty Cloud Sect. It was unexpected that/that I would return to this place three years later. ” The wild smile on Xiao Yan's face was slowly withdrawn. He turned his head towards Lin Yan and the others to speak with a smirk. That smile had nostalgic feelings for her.
’Ke Ke, if that's the case, what are we waiting for?’ ’Xiao Li smiles. He patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder. Back then, Xiao Yan had escaped alive while being chased by the Misty Cloud Sect, who wanted to kill him. This matter had turned the Jia Ma Empire into an uproar back then. The various sensations involved are much more interesting and dangerous compared to what is transmitted.
Xiao Yan also laughed softly. His long hand extended from his sleeve and the light shone from the ‘Serene Sea Storage Ring’. A huge black-dark great ruler appeared with a flash.
” I wonder if there is someone within the Jia Ma Empire who currently can still remember this image? ” Heavy Xuan Ruler was placed on Xiao Yan's back as he patted him and laughed. Its large size was almost as high as Xiao Yan.
Lin Yan and the others watched the black-robed young man, who was carrying a black ruler with his hands behind his back as he stood on top of the head of the Tiger Eagle Beast. They suddenly faintly felt a sharp killing intent gradually being emitted from the body of this usually gentle person. Some of them exchanged looks. In their hearts, all of them secretly mentioned that/that the Jia Ma Empire would be a little chaotic due to the return of this person …
’’Everyone, increase our speed!’’ Xiao Yan gently waved his hand as his voice was clearly heard by everyone's ears. The tone that was always as gentle as the wind was adding to the anxiety at this moment.
A confession sounded in the sky after hearing Xiao Yan's orders. Immediately the other ten flying beasts flapped their flesh wings amid some roars, bringing wild winds as they rushed towards the distant fortress.
Although the distance was very far, Xiao Yan and the others were already near the fortress after less than ten minutes of flying directly by the flying beasts!
Xiao Yan waved his hand as they gradually approached this fortress. The flying shadow in the sky immediately stopped. All gazes swept towards the figure of the young man carrying the heavy ruler in front of them.
They were at least a thousand meters away from the ground and the people below would probably only see a hint of small black spots if they looked to such heights from below. However, with Xiao Yan's eyesight, he could clearly absorb all the activity on the ground into his eyes.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the bright red character at the gate of the fortress. The familiar name caused Xiao Yan's entire body to appear as if it was filled with electricity. A feeling of numbness wriggled in his blood.
’’ Zhen Gui Pass .. It has been three years since they parted ways. There may be a slight change in the city but the people have changed drastically. ” Xiao Yan sighed softly as he whispered.
” Third Brother, it seems that something is wrong .. ‘Zhen Gui Pass’ this seems a bit too quiet today. According to what I know, this is the largest fortress within fifty kilometers of this place. There will be a frenzy even at night. Yet now ... ” Xiao Li suddenly frowned and spoke somewhat doubtfully while Xiao Yan sighed emotionally in his heart.
Xiao Yan was also startled when he heard this. His gaze swept over the silent fortress and surprise also flashed in his eyes, ” Indeed... when I left this place back then the human traffic here was incredible. What happened today?”
” Don't tell me that/that someone already knows about the news of your return? ” Lin Xiu Ya also extended her head and asked.
’’ How can this happen? The ‘Black-Corner Region’ and Jia Ma Empire are so far away. No one in the Jia Ma Empire should know about any news about me. ’’Xiao Yan shook his head and said.
Xiao Yan was startled when he heard Medusa's words. He immediately closed his eyes slowly and his powerful Spiritual Strength spread out like streams of water from between his eyebrows. Finally, it quickly swept across the entire fortress below.
Xiao Li and the others stopped talking when they saw Xiao Yan close his eyes. They were quietly waiting for him to investigate.
Xiao Yan opened his eyes once more some time later. His gaze turned to the center of the fortress. An unexpected smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he softly spoke, ” This fortress is indeed not peaceful enough. Moreover, it was quite unexpected that/that I was able to meet some people I knew just after I returned to the Jia Ma Empire. ’
’’ Familiar people? ”“ Xiao Li dumbfounded.
” Let's go down and see .. ” Xiao Yan smiled but did not say anything else. He waved his hand and immediately commanded the Tiger Eagle Beast as they flapped their meat wings and descended. Ten plus flying beasts also followed behind.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the spacious front yard in the middle of the city governor's house in Zhen Gui Pass was extremely anxious about the possibility of conflict breaking out at any moment. Two groups of people faced each other with hostility. Shining weapons carry density in the sun. Obviously, this is not an act. Instead, they would actually fight each other with sharp blades.
’’ Meng Li, You actually dared to attack your commander personally. You will have trouble keeping your head if this thing is to reach the capital! ” A strong-looking middle-aged man from one of the groups of people, who looked like a metal pagoda, shouted while looking at the man angrily.
’Hee Hee, Mu Tie, don't use this method on me. Even though I have been making preparations for this for a long time, I certainly do not dare to do anything outrageous without someone's support. ’’Men dressed in yellow robes laugh in a dark voice.
”Support? You mean ... Misty Cloud Sect? ’’The man called as Mu Tie's eyes shrank when he heard this. He shouted in a shocked voice, ” What does the Misty Cloud Sect want to do? If the imperial family knew this, it would definitely maneuver their forces to destroy them! ’
’Hee Hee, imperial family? Continues to? Was the Misty Cloud Sect afraid of them with its strength? ’’ Meng Li laughs. His gaze immediately turned cold as he spoke in an evil way, ” As long as I kill you, I will naturally have my own method of controlling this ‘Zhen Gui Pass’. With the reputation that I have had for so many years, it might be a little inconvenient to include all the soldiers here under me, but it is not impossible! ’
” You really want to include the imperial army under you? ” Mu Tie gently inhale the cold air. A storm rose in his heart. He knew that/that if the matter here spread to the capital, it seemed like the entire Jia Ma Empire would feel an earth-shaking shock. It was unexpected that the/it Misty Cloud Sect had gone this crazy.
” Although the house of the governor of this city will be where you die, it is best that you remain unaware of some things. ” Meng Li laughs.
” You want to kill me with the strength of a peak Dou Ling? ” Mu Tie laughed furiously.
” Commander Mu Tie, I know you have broken through the Dou Wang class recently. However, someone who had yet to stabilize his strength at the Dou Wang class dared to become this arrogant? ” Meng Li curled her lips in disgust. He immediately shouted out loudly, ’’ Elder Yun Fan, please intervene and get rid of this person! ’’
Meng Li's voice had just sounded when the sound of wind blowing suddenly appeared. Immediately over ten white-robed human figures appeared and appeared on the high wall in the front yard. The person in front was an old man with a calm water-like face. The pressing atmosphere encompassed the entire house of the city governor over his appearance.
’’ Yun Fan? An Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect? ” Mu Tie's expression looked ugly as he looked at the old man who appeared. A gloom involuntarily surged within his heart. He had lingered around the peak of the Dou Ling class for many years and was only lucky to break through to the Dou Wang class not too long ago. If one were to discuss his strength, he could not even truly be considered a one star Dou Wang. How could he compete with the Elder Misty Cloud Sect whose strength had reached that/that of a three star Dou Wang?
“Commander Mu Tie, you better hand over the military symbol. The Mu Kamu Clan was also one of the three great clans of the empire. If your clan were to join our Misty Cloud Sect, the things that the Mu Clan will obtain in the future will definitely be more than now. If you continue unrepentant, chances are that the destruction will not be far off. ’’Yun Fan glanced indifferently at Mu Tie's ugly expression and slowly spoke
TL: military symbol – in ancient china, this item is used to allow military maneuvering quickly. Whoever holds it has the right to govern the military.
” The Misty Cloud Sect committed treason and of course shame. I, Mu Tie, am the imperial general. No need for anyone else to tell me if I give up on you. Even I, myself, would underestimate me! ” Mu Tie angrily replied.
” Stubborn shy! ’’
Yun Fan shook his head. His expression also grew colder. He clenched his fists and a dark blue longsword appeared in his hand. The tip of the sword raised the level as it locked onto Mu Tie before he spoke in an indifferent manner, ’’ The only fate of anyone blocking our Misty Cloud Sect is death. Since you remain unrepentant, do not blame the old me for being unforgiving. ’
’’ Ha ha, that's also good. I have not exchanged blows with anyone since I have broken through to the Dou Wang class. Today, I will not lose even if I die in your hands. However, the wild ambition of the Misty Cloud Sect will definitely die in the embryonic stage! ” Mu Tie also raised all the fighting intent in his heart when he heard the killing intent contained in Yun Fan's voice. Even though he knew it was impossible for him to defeat the other party, it was better to fight to the death rather than give up in a situation like this.
Yun Fan narrowed his old eyes. His expression became increasingly cold. An extremely strong Dou Qi slowly surged out from his body and the suppressive force created from Dou Qi caused quite a number of people in the courtyard to hurriedly retreat.
Mu Tie's expression also gradually became serious in the face of Yun Fan's powerful Dou Qi aura. He pulled the large axe from his storage ring. The Dou Qi in his body was circulated to its limit …
However, just as the anxious sword-interested atmosphere was about to be broken by the fierce battle between the powerful Dou Wangs was about to erupt, a clear laughter was slowly transmitted from the sky. The laughter lingered in the courtyard and did not disappear for a long time.
’Ke Ke, it's been three years since I left. I didn't expect that/that Misty Cloud Sect to be this arrogant. It was so much beyond my expectations. Looks like old dog Yun Shan has quite a lotd ambition... ’’ If you find any error (broken link, non-standard content, etc.), Please let us know so we can fix it as soon as possible.
