Chapter 234: Alliance
A mountain does not need to be high; it becomes famous with the presence of immortals. A river does not need to be deep; it becomes spiritual with the presence of dragons.
When a group of extraordinary individuals gathers on an ordinary peak, that mountain becomes extraordinary as well, and Kaiji Mountain is such an ordinary peak.
Kaiji Mountain is merely one of the many ordinary peaks in the northern mountains of Zhao Kingdom, without any remarkable features. However, this morning, it welcomed over fifty unexpected guests. Although these individuals were relatively young, each one bore a stern expression, exuding an air of superiority, and their eyes sparkled with an extraordinary aura.
These individuals were none other than the people from Wings of Wind Continent, led by Feng Yu, the Feng Ling siblings, and Liu Mei. It was unclear why they had come to this solitary mountain instead of searching for Tang Yuexi.
As the captain of this team from Wings of Wind Continent, Feng Yu's demeanor was much more composed than that of typical young people. His white robe accentuated his graceful aura, and coupled with his handsome appearance, he had become an object of admiration among many female disciples in Wind God Sect. Strangely enough, Feng Yu seemed indifferent to this attention.
Stepping on the lush green grass beneath him, Feng Yu took a few slow steps forward. His gaze flickered slightly as he slowly opened his right hand, causing a palm-sized white jade disc to fly out from his palm.
In a flash of light, the originally snow-white jade disc emitted a dazzling red glow and began to tremble slightly towards the north. Observing this phenomenon with the jade disc, everyone's gaze sharpened, and joy appeared on their faces.
"That direction is Longshan; it seems that Sister is indeed still within Longshan!"
This jade disc was a unique communication tool from Wings of Wind Continent known as the Wind and Rain Triangular Wall. After being enhanced by secret methods, anyone holding one of these jade discs within ten thousand miles could sense the approximate location of the other two holders. Besides Feng Yu, who held one disc, the other two were in the hands of Liu Mei and Tang Yuexi. Currently, Feng Yu's disc was sensing Tang Yuexi's location.
"Ling, when will they arrive?"
Putting away the jade disc, Feng Yu casually asked Feng Ling, who stood behind him. Although Feng Ling was also one of the top experts from Wings of Wind Continent, she felt a sense of awe towards her brother and dared not show any hint of frivolity. She stepped forward to answer,
"They should be here shortly."
The "they" Feng Ling referred to were none other than Tu Tao from Thick Earth Continent and Yin Wuqie from Dark Continent, whom Feng Yu had asked her to notify. Just as Green Forest Continent and Flame Continent could form an alliance, Wings of Wind Continent could also establish good relations with Thick Earth and Darkness continents. Tu Tao and Yin Wuqie were among the top experts from those two continents.
"Did my sister miss me? Here I am..."
Just as Feng Ling finished speaking, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out. The ground not far in front of her began to churn violently as a brown figure abruptly emerged from beneath the earth. In an instant, a very short man appeared before everyone; he wore a long yellow robe and had a rather mature appearance. However, his constantly flickering eyes and playful smile revealed his true nature.
He was Tu Tao from Thick Earth Continent. Although he did not have an impressive appearance, his exceptional qualifications more than made up for it. He was undoubtedly one of the most prominent figures in all of Thick Earth Continent.
With his arrival, the ground behind him stirred up clouds of dust as a number of young figures appeared behind him—there were only about twenty in total—but each exuded a powerful aura. They all wore identical yellow martial robes, standing together with an extraordinary presence.
Seeing the appearance of these people, the crowd from the Wings of Wind Continent showed no signs of surprise, as they all knew that these individuals were their allies, elites from the Thick Earth Continent.
Upon hearing Tu Tao's obviously teasing words, Feng Ling immediately shot him a fierce glare. The only person she feared was her brother, Feng Yu; even her master was completely compliant with her. As for Tu Tao, he certainly did not instill any fear in her.
"Hmph, I heard that someone was severely taught a lesson by the warriors from the Thunder Continent not long ago and had to use the Earth Escape Technique to escape. By the way, I suppose that someone's injuries haven't healed yet, right?" With a smile on her face, Feng Ling unabashedly exposed Tu Tao's scars.
Hearing Feng Ling's words, everyone present couldn't help but laugh. It was clear that they all understood Feng Ling's mischievous nature and were eagerly watching Tu Tao's reaction.
However, Tu Tao had quite a thick skin; instead of feeling embarrassed by Feng Ling's mockery, he cheerfully walked up to her and replied with a hint of frustration, "My injuries are nothing serious. Before entering the Nine Continents Mainland, Ancestor granted me three True Earth Spirit Pills. After taking one, my injuries were mostly resolved. It's just that I can't swallow this anger. You don't know, Feng Ling sister, Zhan Nanzi relies on that powerful sword of his. Unfortunately, I don't have any formidable Divine Weapon in my hands; otherwise, he wouldn't stand a chance against me. If they didn't have that sword, I could easily deal with him..."
Just thinking about Zhan's Giant Kun made Tu Tao's anger flare up. When he entered the Nine Continents Mainland, why did he only remember to ask for those spirit pills and forget to request a good Divine Weapon from Ancestor? Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a predicament.
After listening to Tu Tao's shameless explanation, Feng Ling rolled her eyes in exasperation. She was already accustomed to Tu Tao's thick-skinned nature but also understood that his status was extraordinary and that he must have many life-saving methods. It didn't surprise her at all that he managed to escape from Zhan.
"Tu Tao, where are Yin Wuqie and the others?"
Seeing that Tu Tao was about to continue speaking, Feng Yu immediately interrupted him. Tang Yuexi was still trapped in Longshan; although there wasn't any immediate danger, it would be better to rescue her as soon as possible. If something really happened to her, he would have no choice but to pay with his life. Moreover, he genuinely didn't want Tang Yuexi to suffer any harm.
"Who knows where they went? The people from the Dark Continent are like ghosts; they're probably all hiding in their tombs..."
Upon hearing Yin Wuqie's name, a black figure flashed through Tu Tao's mind. He pouted and replied irritably.
A desolate autumn wind blew through, and a strange chill spread among everyone’s hearts. Given their cultivation levels, they naturally felt no coldness; however, at that moment when the wind blew past, they couldn't help but feel a shiver deep within.
"They're here!"
Feng Yu and Tu Tao exchanged glances and simultaneously looked toward the hillside. At some point, a black figure had appeared on the nearby slope. Under the refraction of light and shadow, this black figure seemed somewhat illusory, making it difficult for them to discern whether it truly existed.
"What are you?"
Cold words echoed in Tu Tao's ears. As the light flickered, an icy chill suddenly invaded his heart sea, causing him to shudder involuntarily. Upon closer inspection, he found that a man in black had appeared before him. Dressed entirely in a long black robe with only his jet-black eyes exposed, those eyes seemed to depict swirling black vortices filled with an eerie aura.
"Ha ha, Yin Brother, you arrived quite early. I was just joking; we are allies, how could I possibly speak ill of you..." Tu Tao immediately smiled charmingly, but secretly took two steps back, unceremoniously placing Feng Ling in front of him, showing no signs of embarrassment.
Although his strength was not much weaker than Yin Wuqie's, he had heard that those from the Dark Continent were extremely skilled in a type of curse technique. This curse was different from ordinary Divine Techniques; it would leave a person unable to live or die. He did not want to be cursed by Yin Wuqie.
"Hmph!"
Coldly glancing at Tu Tao, as if dismissing someone like him, Yin Wuqie's gaze turned to Feng Yu. If it weren't for Feng Yu, he wouldn't even consider allying with someone like Tu Tao, although Tu Tao did indeed possess some strength.
"This time I brought twenty Dark Swordsmen from the Extreme Yin Palace; that should be enough."
As soon as Yin Wuqie's words fell, twenty armored Dark Swordsmen appeared behind him in perfect formation. Each one exuded a strong aura of darkness, their eyes cold and merciless. Facing the crowd's gaze, they showed no other expression; this sheer presence was enough to prove they were the elite among elites.
Even in the Dark Continent, there were only about ten thousand Dark Swordsmen, each incredibly formidable. They were a crucial force for the Extreme Yin Palace's dominance over the entire continent. This time for the Nine Continents expedition, only a hundred men were dispatched, and he was not the sole commander. For Yin Wuqie to bring out twenty at once was indeed impressive.
"Good! Since that's the case, let's head towards Longshan!" Seeing the many powerful figures gathered at Kaiji Mountain, Feng Yu declared loudly with great enthusiasm.
With twenty Dark Swordsmen from the Extreme Yin Palace, twenty elite from the Thick Earth Continent, over fifty elites from the Wings of Wind Continent, and four top-tier experts recognized by Law, this force was sufficient to sweep away any resistance together.
