The Ran Feng Monastery looked the same as it was previously, before it was destroyed. It was exactly the same building as before. After Tyrant had stayed in the monastery, he had been in a position that would receive privileged treatment from both the abbot and the Zuo family members, with none of them daring to show the tiniest hint of disrespect to him.
The Zuo Family couldn’t forget the great kindness of Tyrant’s master. Now, Tyrant’s appearance had brought another great help to them. They were unable to repay the kindness that the pair had provided them. Thus, Tyrant’s decision to continue his meditation in the Ran Feng Monastery was certainly their honour.
*Hu… Hu…*
Exactly at noon, the scorching and hot sun was shining upon the land as the dark clouds were thousands of miles away from the clear sky. Not even a mild wind existed in the air. Suddenly, a golden light rushed out of a room in Ran Feng Monastery, creating a blazing heat wave above the building and the sound of ‘Hu…Hu…’ could be heard.
The golden light was condensed by pure Buddha Light, on top of it was covered with complicated Sanskrit, and a resounding chant that could make anyone’s soul calm down instantly.
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes unpleasantly as he laid his leg on Tyrant’s butt. Tyrant’s natural attitude was no different than Big Yellow’s foolish arrogance which was totally incurable.
“You can’t go back now. Come with me to the Death Mountain. After coming out from the mountain, only then could you return to the Western Continent.”
Jiang Chen said. Despite the fact that Tyrant was all over of himself, he said a single fact which was that they wouldn’t have seen him if they were just a little late.
“The Death Mountain? Isn’t that the forbidden area of Mysterious Domain? I heard that it only opens every thirty years. It’s going to be opened again?”
Tyrant’s eyes sparkled. As a cultivator of the Divine Continent, he had heard the story of the Eight Forbidden Areas. Although he wasn’t from the Mysterious Domain, he knew the that Death Mountain would open once every thirty years.
“You’re still considered smart. It will be opened in ten days’ time. There will be a lot of violent cultivators from the five major powers that will participate in this exploration. This is also a good chance to train up. Beneath the mountain lies a wealth of treasures, we don’t have any reason to miss this opportunity.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Seems like it is very coincidental. That means that I can’t go back now. Going in the Death Mountain to train is truly something good. My master wanted me to travel this far so that I could train and toughen myself up. Nonetheless, even if there are treasures underneath the mountain, it had already existed for a very long time. I’m afraid all of them have already been dug out.”
Tyrant asked the same question Big Yellow asked.
“What do you know? There are undiscovered spatial zones in the mountain that held items of the Colossal Sect. The layers of spatial zones are overlapping against each other, which means that the treasure isn’t limited to just a few. In addition, the long period of time has allowed some unknown creatures to exist under the mountain. Therefore, we’ll give the responsibility of finding the treasure to Big Yellow.”
Jiang Chen smiled. In the aspect of treasure hunting, he admired Big Yellow the most for this ability. Since he and Big Yellow had teamed up, he didn’t need to delicately search for any lost treasure. It wasn’t because he hadn’t have this ability. As the Greatest Saint, his abilities were unlimited, but with Big Yellow’s help, he could save the effort of finding the treasure himself.
“Alright, then we’ll go to the Death Mountain. After that, I’ll head straight for the Western Continent. Oh yeah, how’s your life in Nebula Sect? Did you all encounter any trouble? I see that the two of you have already become Combat Emperors as well, this is truly abnormal.”
Tyrant nodded as he had decided to go with them to the Death Mountain. He might not be able to get any treasure, but at least he would get to train in the forbidden area.
“We did have some small problems, but it’s all settled.”
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
For the upcoming days, Jiang Chen stayed in Ran Feng Monastery, spending a few leisurely days with his friends.
In the third day of midnight…
Jiang Chen was meditating in his room when a wave of bone-chilling murderous aura came out of nowhere. By the time Jiang Chen sensed the killing intent, a cold, long and narrow sword appeared in his sight, it was like something that had emerged from the depths of hell. With incredible speed, it aimed for Jiang Chen’s throat as it appeared before him in the blink of an eye.
*Pu Chi*
As the long sword pierced through Jiang Chen’s body, the shadowy person showed some satisfaction and immediately, Jiang Chen’s body faded like an image.
Jiang Chen saw the shadowy silhouette but it had disappeared suddenly.
“Since you have come, don’t leave now.”
Jiang Chen shouted. He locked the shadowy figure’s Qi using his Great Soul Derivation Technique and tore open the Spatial Zone as he chased after the intruder.
Judging from the sword attack, it was a sneaky attack from shadows. The attack was silent but deadly as if it was coming from the dead itself. If it is was someone else, the person wouldn’t have been able to escape this deadly attack. It was fast and cruel. Jiang Chen could tell that this was the doing of an experienced assassin that wouldn’t fight his target if he failed so that he could retreat. This was clearly a planned assassination.
