CHAPTER 84: MOUNT LING HUA!!!

The two looked at each other with absolute distrust.

But they had to play a cunning game like this.

Jin broke the silence between them:

• "Alright, I’ll start by explaining our situation: you and me."

• "As you know—and I’m sure you know—we are all being observed, like ants in a sandbox being monitored and studied."

• "Because of this, the Heaven’s Guards decided to use me as a pawn to destroy this mortal world, so the cycle can start anew."

• "You might ask yourself: why did they turn to me instead of you?"

• "Simply because the pawn escaped their control!"

• "And of course, the pawn I’m talking about is you..."

Clark looked at him silently. He felt no offense toward his former self or anything else, as he had grown accustomed to the truth, often even expecting that he was just a janitor taking out the trash.

But now the scales would tip!

Jin continued after a brief pause:

• "Do you remember that girl we knew in our first life? The cursed girl who kept dying repeatedly—Scarlett."

• "Scarlett was lying about something: Scarlett wasn’t cursed or anything like that!"

• "Instead, Scarlett was the one taking out the trash before you!"

• "She learned this because of excessive information, went mad, and could no longer bear it."

• "She repeatedly destroys her world with a temporal acceleration that folds the universe!"

• "Because of this, she manipulated you into believing you needed to break her curse by activating the musical instrument—which is actually a rank 12 Extreme Movement!"

Clark was horrified: Does something like rank 12 really exist?! This is beyond imagination! And who exactly created it?

Jin continued:

• "I assigned you the task, trying to convince you with pity and her sinister manipulation."

• "Because of this, when you destroyed the first world, I got caught up in those problems with you because I’m a pawn like you."

• "I was always the one motivating you, preventing you from growing weary of everything and ending things."

• "And here we are in your third phase, and it’s been decided that I will complete this task."

• "You could say that you and I are what are called ’Travelers from Another World,’ reincarnated multiple times because we were the ones operating that machine."

Clark laughed in his mind:

• "I can interpret this from their goals. Everything became clear to me during my journey through this mortal world."

• "Every time this world reaches a bottleneck, several people emerge at the immortal level. One of them was the Venerable ’Great Sun Conqueror.’"

• "Because of this, it will cause a massive accumulation in the Immortal World."

• "And Heaven—which resides in the Immortal World—doesn’t recognize them and sees them as a disruption to the balance."

• "They have their world, and other humans have theirs. If these people appear, things will spiral out of control."

• "Higher-level humans won’t acknowledge them; worse, they’ll see them as inferior, which is harder for them, causing them to kill or be killed."

• "In either case, the balance in their world will be corrupted. The measure isn’t just on humans: if a single insect disrupts the balance of life in a world, I wouldn’t be surprised if Heaven’s Will afflicts it with terrible misfortune and kills it through schemes."

• "It’s good that I learned the extent of Heaven’s Will’s power and the breadth of its methods, especially since it succeeded in killing me once in the Poison inheritance!"

Clark spoke in a cold tone:

• "So, you’re declaring to me: we must cooperate to repel our enemies and reach the top in a good way."

• "Fine, I have the method, but the mortal world and everyone in it will be destroyed!"

• "I don’t care how many are in this vast land: thousands, hundreds, millions, billions... they will all disappear!"

• "This despicable game will end, and first we must destroy the Gap of Fate, no matter the cost."

Jin replied:

• "But we don’t know how."

Clark laughed:

• "Of course I know! The true inheritance of the Venerable ’Great Sun Conqueror.’ If we can find it, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of damaging the Gap of Fate—after all, he managed to find the method."

• "But Heaven moved against him and sent three tyrants from the Heaven’s Guards!"

• "Now we must find that inheritance, break the cycle, destroy the mortal world, and achieve immortal ascension!!!"

• "Then we will undoubtedly succeed!!!"

• "So, we have the plan and our views align. Do we have a deal?"

Clark replied coldly:

• "Yes. Then let’s agree on the alliance terms:"

• "1. If either of us requests help from the other, we will fulfill the need regardless of what it is or the distance."

• "2. I cannot kill you, and you cannot do so to me."

• "3. Neither of us may use external parties with the aim of killing or threatening the other."

• "That’s the agreement. Now cut your finger and let the bat do its work!"

Jin didn’t object to the agreement; in fact, it was to protect both of them and contained no exploitative clauses. Jin cut himself and poured the blood into the bat’s mouth.

He actually knew about this Extreme Movement of the Blood Covenant. It was known among followers of the Demonic Path for settling alliances and interests, and anyone who violated the agreement would die from their blood exploding within their body.

He even noticed the Blood Dao Marks in his body.

Clark put the mask back on, and the two went their separate ways!!!

Clark was deep in thought after finishing:

• "What is the real place I must go to? The true inheritance of the Venerable ’Great Sun Conqueror.’"

• "Where would he place his inheritance? A place... I wonder if it’s a place only his heir from reading his story would know?"

Clark’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope:

• "Of course! Who else would know but me? Who else? Hahahahahaha!"

• "Of course! It’s the island he ruled! The island where the Venerable ’Great Sun Conqueror’ killed all the humans, took the Great Sun’s soul to make it his guardian spirit!"

• "And the reason he killed everyone there... to make the place easy to identify and be a great mystery to those who don’t know!"

• "What a cunning man! To think of something like this! It took me a long time to learn this information."

• "And now, with my knowledge of all this, it’s easy to anticipate!"

Far from Clark, on a massive battlefield...

The Shadow Sect was fighting against a huge number of formidable experts.

Leading this battle was the exceptional Han Chenqing.

He was in a massive battle, fighting Zhang Hanyu—an expert in the Metal and Earth Paths.

Zhang Han laughed and stroked his long black beard. He was nicknamed "Black Beard" due to the intense blackness and length of his beard.

• "Brother Han, I truly salute you. In many instances and many rounds, you’ve seized opportunities after understanding my style."

Han Chenqing laughed:

• "Glad that Brother Zhang is impressed!"

• "Because of this, I’ll show you an Extreme Movement no one has ever seen before: a wonderful blend of the Song of Snow and the Sky!"

• "I named it: ’Frigid Snow Maiden’!"

Zhang Hanyu looked on in horror. His allies, who were fighting members of other sects, were scattered and watching Zhang Hanyu flying in the sky, while Han Chenqing was on the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Three consecutive explosions in the sky!!!

Zhang Hanyu suffered massive damage.

But that was just the beginning!

A gigantic, towering meteor appeared from the sky and crashed heavily into Zhang Hanyu, who was watching his dire situation.

But, mysteriously, a strange blade appeared and cut the meteor in half! It had multiple colors and was transparent! Its sharpness was terrifying!

The aura swiftly moved toward Han Chenqing, who quickly activated defensive Extreme Movements.

He was injured, but he suppressed the lethal damage!

This round was a draw. Zhang Hanyu’s side retreated.

The fairy Mao Xin approached to see Zhang Hanyu’s injuries; he was sprawled on a tree, bleeding profusely.

• "You’re severely injured, my husband! Please hold on!!!"

It was difficult for her, after all, Zhang Hanyu was her husband.

Zhang Hanyu spoke:

• "We can’t wait! Let’s flee to a mountain, let’s flee to Mount Ling Hua!"

Soon, one of them, Ye Chen, spoke:

• "But sir, that stronghold is important! What if we’re defeated there?!"

Zhang Hanyu laughed:

• "It’s all part of the plan! Don’t worry."

• "As for Han Chenqing, he’s dangerous! I didn’t expect his strength to be like this!"

---

On Han Chenqing’s side, members of various sects were with him, including elite of the elite.

His injuries weren’t as severe as Zhang Han’s, but he needed 17 days of rest to recover his vitality and fight again.

A seventh-rank commander, Lin Shuan, came:

• "Han Chenqing, we must attack them now, or they’ll be able to retreat and reorganize!"

Han Chenqing laughed:

• "And do you think you can face everyone with this group of children?! Don’t make me laugh! We’ll wait."

• "I’m the commander here! Understood?!"

After the speech, Han Chenqing sat down to rest.

The timing was difficult for them; after all, they were fighting on enemy territory, which gave the enemy an advantage.

Now the Shadow Sect’s plans were proceeding full speed ahead, with no one knowing their true purpose!!!
