"Is it you? Chen Hao!!!"
"You bastard! Back then, under my master's guidance, I was able to attain the Nascent Soul. Now you dare to covet the Falling Sunset Mountain left behind by my master? Truly shameless!"
With a furious shout, Han Xiaoshan's head was enveloped in dark thunderclouds. A mass of swirling black clouds crackled with lightning shot out, and with a gentle shake, seven or eight streaks of light surged toward the opponent.
Chen Hao rolled his eyes in disdain and said, "Just Gui Water Yin Thunder, and you dare to act so arrogantly? Tch!!!"
As he pointed with his hand, a square scarf shimmering with earthy yellow light appeared. With a rumble, the Aqua Water Yin Thunder vanished without a trace.
Han Xiaoshan was taken aback, watching as the scarf descended upon him, his face filled with despair.
"Just Wutu Yunguang Scarf, and you dare to act so arrogantly?"
Ye Kai suddenly chuckled lightly. With a flick of his sleeve, he appeared in front of Han Xiaoshan. He pointed, and two rings of light appeared behind him. A burst of colorful light shone down, immediately halting the Wutu Yunguang Scarf.
Seeing Chen Hao's face turn pale with panic, Han Xiaoshan finally regained his composure. However, he soon realized that the scarf had slowly fallen into the hands of his senior.
"Eh?"
After taking it in hand, Ye Kai suddenly exclaimed softly. He noticed that this Wutu Yunguang Scarf seemed somewhat peculiar.
It felt like an incomplete part of something.
"Who are you?"
Chen Hao was not afraid of the Fallen Sunset Ancestor returning; he had heard long ago that the Fallen Sunset Ancestor had passed away many years ago. Whether he could return was another matter entirely.
Moreover, he had not heard of any faction taking over Falling Sunset Mountain.
This place was merely a mountain range with thin Spiritual Energy. Those large and medium-sized factions looked down upon it entirely; even if they wanted to seize it, they would be filled with apprehension.
Although Falling Sunset Mountain had fallen into desolation, it was undeniable that they still had many connections. Without significant benefits at stake, those people would not dare to take such great risks to seize a mountain range with scarce Spiritual Energy.
Thinking this through, he dared not hesitate any longer. He formed hand seals and shouted, "Rise!"
Suddenly, dozens of overwhelming demonic energies surged around the Mountain Body, infusing into him.
Han Xiaoshan took a closer look and became even angrier. The sources of these demonic energies were all former companions of his, including some benevolent demon clans from Falling Sunset Mountain.
"Clam Tribe?"
Ye Kai raised an eyebrow in surprise. He hadn't expected that there would be Clam Clan members in Falling Sunset Mountain, and that they would possess such high cultivation levels.
However, these clam demons had all been captured or were under control now.
A flash of insight crossed his mind as he realized that these clams were not betraying their kind but were being manipulated by someone using secret techniques, forced to act as soldiers. At this moment, they had no choice but to form a formation and channel their demonic power into another.
With the added power from the group of clam demons, Chen Hao, at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, experienced a significant boost in his abilities, making him capable of fighting even against a Late Stage Nascent Soul expert.
Yet, his intention was not to enhance his own strength to fight Han Xiaoshan nor to engage in a life-and-death struggle with Ye Kai. Instead, filled with pride, he shouted loudly, "Stop! Everyone stop! These clam demons are under a Restriction set by my master. If you disturb them and the Restriction activates, their souls will be scattered and they won't survive. It won't be me who harmed their lives."
Han Xiaoshan laughed in anger and stepped forward, scolding him, "How despicable! You heartless beast still wants to hold hostages and threaten us?"
Chen Hao, however, seemed unfazed and wore a smug expression as he chuckled, "Calm down. You’ve latched onto this senior’s leg for support. I’m not here to fight you; I just want to secure a way out for myself."
He glanced at Ye Kai, who stood nearby with an amused expression, and warned cautiously, "You should let this senior grant me safe passage off the island. Otherwise, if we all go our separate ways, I have just one request."
Ye Kai gave Han Xiaoshan a casual glance before turning away coldly. "If you had run away at first sight of us, you might have had a chance. If there were no deep-seated grudges, we wouldn’t necessarily pursue you relentlessly."
"But now you’re playing these tricks while ignoring your companions? Are you feeling guilty about something unforgivable?"
Chen Hao paused slightly but didn’t have time to respond before one of the clams he controlled—a Peak Golden Core Stage elder—struggled and shouted, "Young Master! Don’t listen to his sweet words! This scoundrel has slaughtered many of our kin and is drenched in blood debts. He even stole the Falling Sunset Pearl left by our master!"
"Enough with your nonsense!"
Chen Hao snorted coldly, causing the Clam Clan elder to cry out in pain.
At this point, hoping for a safe escape was already a luxury. Ignoring everything else, he decided to tear off the mask of civility. His gaze shifted subtly toward Ye Kai before finally landing on Han Xiaoshan as he said in a deep voice, "You see? As long as I wish it, none of these sixty-four Clam Clan members can guarantee their safety. I ask for nothing else but a way out—let me leave without pursuit."
"I have only one request, and you should know that you have no room for choice."
Han Xiaoshan's face flushed with anger as he pointed at Chen Hao, trembling with rage. "You shameless scoundrel!"
Staring fiercely at his opponent, dark clouds gathered above him, thunder rumbling ominously. He was clearly at his breaking point. "Chen Hao, you once listened to the teachings under our master. Now, not only have you seized the Falling Sunset Mountain left by my mentor, but you also dare to covet the treasures he left behind! I can’t believe I didn’t see before how treacherous you truly are!"
The man named Chen Hao, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, felt somewhat embarrassed by the scolding and coldly snorted. "Since the Fallen Sunset Ancestor has already moved away from this island, why leave such a blessed land vacant? You should be grateful that my Great Wilderness Sword Sect has taken an interest in this place. At least your Falling Sunset Mountain cultivators won’t be looked down upon anymore; it’s better than being ignored."
"As for those sea clams, I don’t want to punish them, but they spoke without restraint and dared to insult my Great Wilderness Sword Sect. Naturally, I must take action to discipline them."
Deep down, he was secretly lamenting that the reason the Great Wilderness Sword Sect dared to occupy the Falling Sunset Mountain Range and this Cave was primarily due to the Falling Sunset Pearl in his possession.
According to the information he had gathered, the Falling Sunset Pearl was not an ordinary treasure but rather a part of some super treasure.
Even so, this Falling Sunset Pearl was enough to help one achieve the Realm of the Primordial Spirit. Upon learning this news, he naturally wanted to seize it for himself. Knowing that the Fallen Sunset Ancestor had long since passed away and his fate unknown gave him confidence. After all, even if he couldn’t possess such a treasure himself, he could study it and then present it to the Great Wilderness Sword Sect in exchange for more resources and power.
Thus, he came to occupy the Cave.
