CHAPTER 779: CHAPTER 547: DESCENDING UPON THE HUNDRED-THOUSAND MOUNTAINS!

The night was like a massive black curtain.

But the incessant clamor tore the night apart.

"That place is a burial ground!"

"In the past, those who stormed the mountain all died there."

"Great Divine Ability Users joined forces to break through, where the breath of the immortal lingered, humans and demons flooded in, leading to a great battle."

"A dragon was ambushed by demons, its flesh perished, but its primordial spirit escaped."

"..."

Anomaly at Ancestor Mountain, humans and demons clashed, Great Divine Ability Users successively entered Ancestor Mountain, many followers came along, causing a disturbance, as astonishing news flowed out from within.

Jingguan City, the night was noisy, the anomaly seven hundred miles away at Ancestor Mountain had not disappeared, with a sky full of glow, and the void outside Ancestor Mountain shattered like a mirror, fraught with murderous intent, where the land was strewn with the bodies severed by spatial rifts.

But it still couldn’t stop some from taking the risk!

Outside the city, the sound of hooves soared, the dust kicked up permeated through the night, a squad of cavalry sped forward, their armor glinting coldly under the moonlight, storming straight through the city walls, bringing news back to The Overseers. On the walls, beneath the armor light, undercurrents surged as torches in their hands cast long shadows, which danced and clawed at the walls.

Inside Jingguan City, in taverns brightly lit, naturally the topic centered around Ancestor Mountain,

with astonishing speculations about the ruins there;

those famed figures from the worldly society gathered to charge into Ancestor Mountain, forming an impressive spectacle, making legends;

....

Amidst the tumultuous winds and clouds, the topics seemed endless.

"What do you think the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel is doing? Could he have gone there too?" In Shu, one couldn’t avoid mentioning this figure, someone couldn’t help but bring up this main character.

"Who knows? This person is a character, dominant in Shu, it’s a pity we didn’t see him act during the day, otherwise it would have been lively."

"Heard that a few days ago he battled against two Great Demons, got severely injured, also, he is now the Patrol Angel, wielding power over the Three Roads."

The scene shifts, somewhere on a cliff middle of Ninth Mountain, a shadow appeared abruptly in the void filled with layers of prohibitions.

They looked up at the sky, then down at the mountain below, towards the direction of the Ninth Mountain Camp, where the lights were bright, on the battlefield, troops and generals were being named, as each name was called, they went out of line and were taken elsewhere.

The shadow’s gaze was dark and deep.

"Not injured, cultivation is instead advancing, deliberately spreading news of injury, hiding in the mountain, not involved with Ancestor Mountain matters, yet gathering troops during this late night, what is Lord Chen planning?"

The person seemed to be talking to themselves, voice drifting and uncertain, then those eyes, sharp as cold stars in the night, gazed across hundreds of miles, towards distant Ancestor Mountain, like ghostly fire flickering.

"Things from a thousand years ago should remain buried, uncovering them now might lead to another catastrophe."

"These old bones of mine should stay out of it, best to see what this General Chen intends for Your Majesty."

The ghostly light in their eyes dimmed, then their form turned into a mass of cloud, descending directly into the camp below, soon vanishing without a trace.

Not long after, in the camp below, a name was called out.

"Jiang Wen"

"Step forward"

"Go to the Ten Divisions and claim new military preparation!"

.......

Ninth Mountain Colonel Hall.

The night fell like thick ink, enveloping Zhonglang Hall of Ninth Mountain in a dark shroud. Outside the hall, flickering candlelights were bound by chains on beast-shaped lamp stands, their dim halos struggled to pierce the night, casting mottled shadows on the cold green stone floor.

The mountain wind howled past the mountain top, causing the copper bells at the eaves to chime, one by one, armored soldiers clad in mystic iron armor stood statue-like on each side of the hall door, their armor shimmering with a ghostly blue light, under the candlelight, they appeared like slumbering jiao dragons.

They had long knives hanging by their waists, their gazes sharp as eagles, alerting all around them. Occasionally, patrolling soldiers holding fire torches strolled by, the clinking of their armors resonated distinctly in the silent night.

The deeper into the night, the more sternly guarded this Colonel Hall was, like a slumbering beast exuding an awe-inspiring majesty that was intimidating.

Inside the hall, the lights flickered, illuminating numerous figures.

Headed by Chen Yuan, along with Old Man Dong, Yangshan, Zhao Quanzhen, Yi Cangtian....

Chen Yuan had already informed everyone of his plan, it was vital, and this was a decisive moment, to be safe, all fellow cultivators remained in Colonel Hall with Chen Yuan, awaiting the right opportunity.

At this time, everyone in the hall were old acquaintances, yet their expressions were serious, even slightly tense.

To storm into the Ten Thousand Mountains!

They had done it before.

But this time was different, previously it was a passive move, at that time the troops at the Demon Front almost moved out in full force, coordinating a rescue plan, coupled with Chen Yuan’s breakthrough at a desperate moment, accomplished the feat.

This time was different, now they were taking the initiative.

And it’s not just one Fierce Mountain.

The excitement was enough to make their hearts race, everyone’s emotions were unstable, yet oddly, despite acknowledging the immense risk, no one refused.

Even Old Man Dong, looking as if he boarded a pirate ship, merely grunted a couple of times.

Everyone originally gathered due to a sense of righteousness, although not deeply affectionate, they were comrades who experienced the battlefield together, trust had been built, and frankly speaking, following Chen Yuan had brought them many benefits.

Now, inside the hall, their expressions were varied.

Old Man Dong drank the medicinal wine Chen Yuan had prepared for him, brewed with various Great Demon blood and Demon Bone, shaking his head;

Chen Yuan’s follower, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War’s second son, Zhao Quanzhen, sat upright, his eyes flashing with divine light, eager and restless;
