Chapter 1039 - 1039 22 This time I take the lead 2 in 1_2

Chapter 1039: Chapter 22 This time I take the lead [2 in 1]_2 Chapter 1039: Chapter 22 This time I take the lead [2 in 1]_2 All these lines were hammered out and approved by many seasoned veterans of the jianghu before being finalized.

In other words, not even the most experienced of the veterans could find any flaws in them.

—An elder of a sect, taking disciples out into the jianghu for training after the winter had just passed and not fully gone yet, encountered a freezing rain.

Finding shelter from the rain is only natural, right?

Lets’s not even mention finding a cave; even if there were no cave, digging one out would also be considered a routine practice!

Then, taking shelter from the rain, the female disciples naturally stayed inside, while the male disciples guarded outside—the same standard practice, a common human sentiment.

And after getting caught in the rain, a woman would need to wash her face and cleanse herself—would it be normal not to?

After washing, one needs to dispose of the water, right? Is there anything wrong with that?

If the water is poured out and it just happens to fall on an empty space below, how could it not seep through?

So…

Everything follows logically, naturally—it’s seamless like the Heavenly Clothes!

Afterward, as if on cue, there came the rumbling, rumbling sound of rocks tumbling and rolling over.

The wall of stone had been breached!

Dust and smoke naturally billowed, obscuring the view. The people on the other side were clearly very cautious, not shaking the wall any further, just limiting the force to the immediate area in front of them. The flow of lingqi crashed directly downward in a straight line, demonstrating superb control, with powerful and precise mastery.

Seeing something was found, a cheer erupted from The Other Side.

Someone was saying, “Quick, look, look, see if it’s the real Cat Emperor’s treasure…”

“Who would have thought that after the squabble between the Cat Emperor and the Purple Emperor, it would be our Supreme Mountain to benefit in the end. Indeed, Heaven’s Path always blesses the good…”

“It seems like there’s a vast space over there…

“How many treasures must be inside? The Cat Emperor’s lifetime of savings couldn’t be meager…”

“Master, let’s hurry over and take a look. I am willing to take the lead…”

Amid the jubilation on The Other Side, the dust began to settle, and the situation gradually became clear.

In the instant their eyes met the sight, everyone froze in unison, only to see within the slowly dissipating dust and smoke.

There stood three Jinmian men and five black-robed, masked figures, standing silently in place.

The sixteen eyes of these eight individuals, full of murderous intent, stared at themselves and their group!

The cold and lethal aura in those eyes sent shivers down one’s spine.

The leading elder of Supreme Mountain felt a tremor in his heart, but the show must go on.

After all… This scenario, including the current situation, was still within expectations!

“Gentlemen… uh… this is…”

The lord of the peak seemed somewhat flustered and awkward, chuckling as he stepped forward, “Could this be… perhaps the place where you gentlemen practice in seclusion? Ahem, I must say, there’s… there appears to have been some misunderstanding…”

The eight pairs of eyes on the other side looked at him emotionlessly, showing no desire to engage in conversation.

Their murderous aura only grew thicker, almost becoming tangible.

“This… an unintended error.” The peak lord forced a chuckle: “For any damage incurred, we are willing to compensate… haha, we’re all from the jianghu…”

Before he could finish, cold light flashed.

“Kill!”

The Jinmian men had already made their move, clearly intent on quickly dealing with these unwelcome guests, ruthlessly resolving to eliminate them completely, once and for all.

“Die! Stop your babble!”

With a clang, the peak lord, prepared as he was, did not descend into panic, drawing his sword to block as he shouted, “Fellow martial artists, fellow martial artists, let’s not do something rash… We are from Supreme Mountain… the host of the Sun-Rising Peak…”

“To hell with your mountain! Shut up!”

“It’s really a misunderstanding, we’ll just leave right now…”

Unfortunately, amidst the arguments, three or five disciples were already spurting blood, their screams persisting.

“Gentlemen, you’re pushing too hard, aren’t you showing Supreme Mountain no respect at all?” the peak lord burst out in anger.

“Remember it’s best to show mercy when you can. It’s all just a misunderstanding… As people of high standing, why persist so relentlessly? Why force the situation to life and death?”

Seeing that the opponents’ attacks were growing fiercer, the peak lord also became enraged, letting his emotions take over.

“Some people just won’t take a hint; how dare you look down on Supreme Mountain!”

“Kill!”

The battle truly began at that point, with the injured disciples quickly escorted out, but for those three who were killed on the spot, there was no helping it.

For this operation, Supreme Mountain had deployed its elite forces: the first peak master and several high elders, all powerful figures at the Cloud Top realm. They could hold their ground against the three Jinmian men for a while, and in the short term, they even seemed evenly matched.

But the martial cultivation of the other disciples was merely so-so. In such an intense battle, they had no room to exert themselves and only served as a burden.

Thus, as the battle commenced, Supreme Mountain quickly found itself at a disadvantage.

However, the peak master and the elders had already foreseen this and began a strategic retreat, covering their disciples as they withdrew from the cave.

Meanwhile, they kept shouting: “Gentlemen, gentlemen, it’s a misunderstanding… please let us know your esteemed names… we of Supreme Mountain will surely offer a generous reward for this misunderstanding… it’s all a misunderstanding…”

Indeed, their voices were full of emotion.

As the battle here was just igniting.

Qing Ming the Great, Green Wolf, Absolute Sword Devil Palace, Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, the Ancestors of the Three Mountains, the Ancestors from all sides… began to make their moves. Among the Nine Colors Supremes, Black Cloud, Yellow Wind, Lan Dan, Green Shadow, Hidden Blade, Dream Spirit, also arrived respectively.

Meanwhile, Jiang Changhai, Dong Xiaoyan, and others, who were supposed to be the main force, had become mere spectators: among the Cloud Top cultivators, there are hierarchies, and they were not high-ranking enough to join the battle. Naturally, they were kept out of the combat zone.
