Chapter 625: Chapter 618: Has Luck Arrived?

A month ago, when Chen Hai first passed by the Bloodthirsty Sect’s gates, he had already noticed the Black Water Immortal Mountain.

After all, such a towering Giant Peak, standing just outside the gates of the Bloodthirsty Sect, surrounded by small hills like piles of steamed buns, the presence of Black Water Immortal Mountain was as conspicuous as a crane amongst chickens—impossible to overlook.

Then, pausing for a while in front of the large stone stele at the foot of the mountain, Chen Hai criticized how the Bloodthirsty Sect had wasted such a spiritually rich Giant Peak by not incorporating it into their Sect’s domain.

With regards to this Giant Peak, Chen Hai was somewhat curious, but the existence of that stone stele had already proven that this mountain likely had an owner.

Considering the sensitive location of Black Water Immortal Mountain, while the Bloodthirsty Sect had not included it within their domain, there must, undoubtedly, be some connection between them.

In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings that might complicate the return of their Bloodthirsty Holy Sect lineage to the overseas Main Lineage,

Although curious, he did not act impulsively and rashly enter Black Water Immortal Mountain.

Now, having learned from Ouyang Ming’s mouth that Black Water Immortal Mountain was actually the dwelling place of a True Demon level Cultivator,

And this Cultivator was a supporter behind Ye Qingqing, who bore severe conflicting interests against their overseas Bloodthirsty Sect’s Main Lineage, the little doubt in Chen Hai’s mind naturally dissipated.

After reaching the Peak of the True Demon Realm, among Cultivators of the same level, he had indeed never feared anyone.

The True Demon atop Black Water Immortal Mountain, since he’s affecting the task at hand, naturally Chen Hai saw no reason to be polite.

After leaving the great hall where the matters were discussed at the Bloodthirsty Sect’s Main Peak, it only took a breath or two before he appeared outside the gates.

Standing at the foot of Black Water Immortal Mountain, he glanced over the large stone stele a few times, then, with a profound look, he raised his head to gaze towards the summit of the mountain.

Even though he had arrived at this place, he just stood with his hands behind his back, quietly, before the stone stele, and did not immediately take action.

He could clearly sense that Ouyang Ming, Gui Wuya, and others had also immediately risen and were hastening toward the location outside the gates where he stood, following his departure from the council hall.

Last time, when he visited the Bloodthirsty Sect, even though he had intimidated Ouyang Ming and the others with the unique aura of a True Demon level powerhouse, delivering a show of force and giving them a taste of suffering,

But now it seemed that the respect he wanted to command was perhaps still insufficient.

Ouyang Ming, Gui Wuya, and the others seemed to lack a proper understanding of Chen Hai’s terrifying strength.

Otherwise, why couldn’t they, with their absolute power, act decisively and solve the problem of Ye Qingqing, the Nine Realms ‘s Heavenly Tribulation’s recent Branch Sect Master, who was obstructing their entire Sect’s relocation overseas, by forcefully suppressing this obstruction?

In the end, they were simply not confident enough, lacking a clear comprehension of his power, which was why they were cautious of Chen Hai, the True Demon level Cultivator behind Ye Qingqing.

At this moment, the reason Chen Hai did not make a move was mainly to wait for Ouyang Ming, Gui Wuya, and the others to arrive.

His purpose was simple—he wanted to display his invincible power in front of everyone, suppressing Chen Hai on the spot.

He intended to solidify Ouyang Ming, Gui Wuya, and their faith, then to let them see firsthand what sort of miserable fate awaited those who opposed him, who defied his commands!

Compared to Chen Hai, the likes of Ouyang Ming, Gui Wuya, though vastly inferior in strength,

But from the Sect’s Main Peak to the foot of Black Water Immortal Mountain, such a short distance meant that even if they were slow, they had already arrived near Chen Hai within a few moments.

“Are you certain that the True Demon level Cultivator named Chen Hai, who stands behind your Branch Sect Master Ye Qingqing, lives atop this Black Water Immortal Mountain?”

Turning his head back, Chen Hai looked expressionless and glanced at Ouyang Ming and the others, confirming his query.

“Uh-huh!” The crowd looked at each other and nodded.

Among them, Ouyang Ming struggled with his expression.

He hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and paid his respects to Chen Hai, adding, “Sect Master Yang, on the matter of relocating overseas, Chen Hai indeed stands as an obstacle.”

“But he has done great deeds for our Bloodthirsty Sect, pulling us back from the brink of annihilation.”

“As you engage with him, I hope you can show some mercy, and if possible, simply subdue him, sparing his life if you can.”

Ouyang Ming’s expression was wrought with complexity, and as he said this, he also let out a long sigh.

Although Chen Hai’s positioning of Black Water Cave Mansion right outside the gates of the Bloodthirsty Sect irked Ouyang Ming and the others,

The matter of relocating overseas, because of Ye Qingqing’s lack of cooperation, led them to disapprove of Chen Hai as well.

But they also remembered quite clearly the affair when the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect aggressed.

Without Chen Hai’s sudden emergence, eliminating Sun Jitian and the others, they would have probably met their gruesome deaths right there on the spot, and the entire Bloodthirsty Sect might no longer exist.

Resentment is resentment, and gratitude is gratitude. It was precisely because he still remembered this incident that Ouyang Ming would utter these words at this moment.

“Rest assured, I, Yang, handle matters with proper measure.”

“That Chen Hai, I will definitely spare him from death.”

“At most, I’ll just break his limbs and drag him in front of your Sect Master Ye Qingqing’s cave mansion so she can take a good look at the fate of those who dare to oppose us.”

Calm and collected, Yang Dingtian nodded indifferently.

To him, breaking Chen Hai’s limbs seemed like a trivial matter, as simple as eating and drinking.

Of course, his bold statement was a true reflection of his extreme confidence.

“Chen Hai, come out and accept your death!”

After making his stance clear to Ouyang Ming and Gui Wuya, Yang Dingtian raised his head and let out a roar toward the direction of the mountaintop.

As he spoke, he stepped onto the void, ascending step-by-step towards Black Water Immortal Mountain.

…

Inside the cave mansion, within a great hall atop the mountain.

Chen Hai, who had just returned to this place less than two hours earlier, was sprawled lazily on a recliner.

According to his original plan, he intended to rest in his cave mansion for a bit, then as night fell, sneak over to his wife’s place to surprise her and spend a few days sparring with her.

Afterward, he would peacefully return to his cave mansion and go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.

But now, barely having warmed his seat on the recliner within the great hall, the roar from outside suddenly jolted him awake.

“After so many years of peace, how long has it been since someone has had the audacity to confront me at my doorstep?”

“I remember the last time someone came looking to challenge me was Ye Fangxian, wasn’t it?”

“That weakling couldn’t even block one of my punches. It was only because I showed mercy that I stripped him bare instead of killing him on the spot.”

“I’ve just broken through to Earth Immortal, and now someone has come looking for trouble?”

“Is he so courageous and impatient for death to deem his life too long?”

A gleam flickered in his eyes, and amid a cold laugh, Chen Hai stood up straight.

The booming voice that reached his ears felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t immediately recall where he had heard it.

Unhurried, Chen Hai stepped out of the great hall and with a single stride, vanished from sight.

“Chen Hai, I’ll give you a chance to live.”

“Just appear before me within three breaths, bow your head and acknowledge your mistakes, then handle Ye Qingqing so she ceases to hinder the Bloodthirsty Sect’s withdrawal overseas.”

“I might turn a blind eye and let you off the hook…”

Yang Dingtian moved swiftly, and as he spoke, he stepped onto the smaller mountain serving as the foundation, truly arriving before Black Water Immortal Mansion.

“This cave mansion is so profound; I speculate it must be from ancient times!”

Having lived so many years and seen much, Yang Dingtian was naturally no novice.

Standing before Black Water Cave Mansion’s entrance, he merely glanced around and his eyes lit up, unable to contain his excitement.

Such an ancient cave mansion, regardless of who the original owner was, now discovered by him, naturally belonged to him.

If that Chen Hai felt discontent, beating him until he was down would surely convince him.

“Just a few days ago, I suffered a setback from that senior, but a loss may turn out to be a blessing.”

“To unexpectedly gain an ancient cave mansion, when fortune strikes, truly nothing can stop it!”

Standing before the cave mansion’s entrance, his heart overjoyed, he couldn’t help but start laughing foolishly.
