Chapter 206 - 206 158 Supreme Mountain Moves Robbery【2nd

Chapter 206: Chapter 158: Supreme Mountain Moves, Robbery!【2nd Update】 Chapter 206: Chapter 158: Supreme Mountain Moves, Robbery!【2nd Update】 Zhuang Weiran truly lived up to his reputation. After ruthlessly framing Sky Stealer Ding Hou, he felt that being too biased was not good, so he also framed Feng Yin, who was considered one of his own people!

Even Zhuang Weiran himself did not know the ins and outs of the matter.

But the death of Mo Xiaoyu was sure to be charged to Feng Yin.

Well, to be more accurate, it would be charged to the assassin Wenrou.

As usual, Heavenly Judgment would impartially broadcast this news.

And the only assassin who had been to Mo Zhengdao’s mansion that day was Wenrou.

The person who completed the task was also only Wenrou.

The one who was promoted to the gold rank because of this was also only Wenrou, the great assassin!

So, who else could be responsible for the death here, if not him?

…

Amidst distant clouds and mist.

A high mountain pierces through the clouds.

In one of the tranquil courtyards within it, a woman was practicing her swordsmanship. The sword lights flashed, it was like snow falling from the sky.

Suddenly, a light smack sound came from the room.

The woman’s face instantly changed, and she walked into the room with a frown.

On a white jade platform, a jade card inscribed with Mo Xiaoyu’s name was shattered into pieces.

“My Son!!”

The woman let out a heart-wrenching scream and then passed out.

The reason for the woman’s fainting was simple –

Mo Xiaoyu’s soul card was shattered.

With her son’s soul card shattered, as a mother, how could she not be grieved? In that instant, she felt as if she was being torn apart.

Even a high-level practitioner could not withstand such a strong mental blow.

A soul card, also known as a life card, is closely related to a person’s life. When a person is critically injured or near death, the soul card will develop cracks.

If the person dies, the soul card will shatter into pieces.

Soul cards are only issued to individuals of high rank within a sect, or to direct descendants.

Now that Mo Xiaoyu’s soul card had shattered, what this meant was obvious to all.

The small courtyard in Supreme Mountain turned into chaos with the emergence of this incident and the unconsciousness of the woman.

In just a short while, the hall was filled with people.

“What happened?”

“Something has happened to Xiaoyu.”

“Where did Xiaoyu go?”

“A few days ago, we received news that Sky Stealer was spotted in Yuezhou, the sect has already sent people for support.”

“Yuezhou?”

“Yes, Yuezhou City of Tiannan District in Great Qin.”

“Good!”

“Third Brother, your cloud-piercing peng bird…”

“Big Brother, don’t say anymore, I’ll accompany you this time.”

“Alright.”

“Everyone else, set off afterwards! Get to Yuezhou as quickly as possible!”

“Third Brother, we’ll go ahead!”

“I want to go too, I must go!”

The woman who had just regained consciousness rushed out, her hair disheveled, a drastic departure from her usual refined appearance. Her eyes were filled with nothing but madness and hatred: “Xiaoyu’s death must not be in vain, no matter what, I must avenge him. The culprit who hurt my son must be cut into a thousand pieces, their souls utterly annihilated!”

“…Let’s go!”

A giant peng bird rose up, piercing the misty clouds, breaking through the blue sky, dashing towards the southern sky.

The other peaks of Supreme Mountain also received news a moment later.

Mo Xiaoyu is dead!

The shock was intense, after all, he was the first direct descendant of Supreme Mountain to die mysteriously in the past few centuries!

Just considering Mo Xiaoyu’s status among the younger generation of Supreme Mountain, he was not high-ranked; he even couldn’t make it into the top hundred. However, his death caused a tremendous reaction.

The first Supreme Mountain direct descendant to die outside.

What does this imply?

It means there’s someone in the martial world who dares to challenge Supreme Mountain!

This matter is extremely serious.

Today it’s Mo Xiaoyu, tomorrow it may be someone else’s son. This wind can’t be blown for too long!

We must nip it in the bud!

This is Supreme Mountain’s ironclad rule to take care of its own people, interests for all families, everyone benefits, they’ve always made collective decisions, united in effort, determinedly against the killer, never vague.

“You few, follow them to see, and take the opportunity to experience the current martial world and spread the name of our sect… Note, do not contact any national officials, and never rashly make any promises; do not get involved in any sectarian power struggles, otherwise, you know the sect rules.”

“Yes, Master.”

“You and your fellow disciples, take this opportunity to go down the mountain for experience; Mo Xiaoyu may not be a great loss, but the prestige of Supreme Mountain cannot be somewhat diminished because of this.”

“Yes, we understand.”

“…”

Batch after batch of young disciples from Supreme Mountain broke through the clouds and set foot in the mortal world.

They scattered in all four directions, traveling throughout the entire continent, not just confined to the boundaries of the Great Qin.

…

The Roc bird spreads its wings and soars too close to the skies!

This phrase, although possibly exaggerated, illustrates the incredibly swift speed of the Roc bird.

As a demon beast that has reached the peak of the King Rank, the Roc bird’s speed surpasses spatial restrictions with a single flap of its wings. Within a blink, it could traverse hundreds of miles; appearing sequentially at different points in space, similar to teleportation.

Within a mere quarter of an hour, the Roc bird had crossed the Beast King Forest and reached the airspace above the Endless Sea.

Above the cloud layer, driven by the wind, its figure even more spectacular, its majestic force creates a path in the sky.

Half an hour later, the Roc bird had crossed the Endless Sea and arrived at the airspace above the Falling Immortal Mountain Range, where endless, lush greenery spread out below it.

“Let’s rest here for an hour and let the Roc bird take a break.”

“Okay.”

The Roc bird’s speed had already reached its limit; in just over half an hour it had already traversed over forty thousand miles.

Even if it pushed on to Yuezhou City without stopping, it was a possibility, but that would significantly drain the beast.

As the master of the Roc bird, Mo Yuanqing inevitably felt deep distress.

The Roc bird began to descend gently.

However, at the moment it was about to land on the peak, the feathers on the Roc bird’s body suddenly puffed up like it was about to shoot up into the sky uncontrollably.

The married couple, Mo Yuantu and Mo Yuanqing on the Roc bird’s back hadn’t expected the usually obedient Roc bird to behave so out of character. The trio were startled to the point they almost fell from the bird’s back. As they were confused and indecisive, they suddenly heard a chilling voice from below, “Get down!”

The voice was chilly as a sword, filled with majesty, a hint of frost, and the air of one who would brook no opposition.

An overwhelming authority surged and instantly immobilized the entire space.

The trio turned pale; as high-level cultivators with wide-ranging experiences, they immediately judged that the person before them was an Emperor Rank or higher powerhouse, a formidable being they were incapable of opposing!

Why had they encountered such a master with such bad luck?

In the face of such power, escaping was nothing but a vain hope.

The Roc bird, unable to withstand the pressure, began trembling and obediently descended, its wings drooping, pleading in a sobbing voice, “Your Majesty, please spare me, I meant no offense, I was merely passing by…”

As a demon beast, and a King Rank peak demon beast at that, the Roc bird understood better than its masters what they were facing.

It was an Emperor Rank powerhouse!

The supreme tier among demon beasts!

The unchallenged pinnacle level in this world!

There was an essential difference between demon beasts and demons. Although the Roc bird had reached the peak King Rank, it was still a demon beast incapable of human form, despite its ability to speak human languages.

But demons could assume human form even before they reached the King Rank.

This single point was enough to create a vast difference between the two. In the face of a demon, a demon beast was naturally inferior, or perhaps even more so. It was completely incapable of resisting, and was almost entirely at the demon’s mercy.

And the Roc bird, having been tamed for a long time, had almost entirely lost the wildness of its royal beastly bloodline. Even its inherent ferocity had been grinded down.

How could it resist one of the most powerful beings among the demons?

So, at this moment, the Roc bird could only plead for mercy, hoping that the powerful being below would be kind-hearted, or disdain killing such a minor creature as itself, so it might escape alive. As for resistance— the Roc bird did not even dare to entertain such a thought.

As the Roc bird dropped uncontrollably, the trio on its back clearly saw a white figure, rising straight up from the mountain peak below them.

The person, clothed in fluttering white, was breathtakingly beautiful, an exceptional beauty.

Her long hair, despite being in the violent high-altitude winds, was undisturbed, with not even a single strand fluttering.

Her icy-cold eyes sternly watched them. Apparently, she was waiting for them to descend.

What kind of being was this?

They didn’t want to know, or rather, they were too afraid to know. The fear was so intense it could literally scare them to death!

The Roc bird, with extreme caution, quietly landed, afraid to stir up even a speck of dust for fear it might defile the white clothes of the being before it. With lowered eyes and submissive demeanor, it pleaded, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare me.”

Her Majesty!

The couple, Mo Yuantu, nearly fainted when they heard this address.

They had tried to overestimate the other party’s identity as much as possible, but it turns out they had still underestimated it. How were they so unlucky to run into a Demon Emperor just passing by?

What kind of luck was this?

Or was it simply incredibly bad luck?!

They had just lost a son, and now it seemed the parents were about to follow him, reuniting in death?

Precisely, with the addition of Uncle Mo.

The woman in white casually glanced over, took a graceful step forward, and came before the trio, nonchalantly saying, “Do not be alarmed. I’ve been in seclusion for a while and require some items to replenish myself, therefore I took the liberty of disturbing you three. Please be generous and assist me a little.”

Be generous and assist?

Mo Yuantu’s face twitched, and he thought, can I choose not to be generous and assist?

Can such casual words and soft voice conceal your robbery behavior?

“May I ask what does Your Majesty need?”

“Pills, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the higher grade the better.”

The woman in white, in a matter-of-fact tone, directed, “Take out everything you have on you, I’ll pick and choose. I will only select those that catch my eye.”

It seemed as if her robbing them was already granting them a great favor.

Mo Yuantu and the others just stood there dumbfounded.

What?

You’re picking and choosing?

You’re a robber, and you’re actually going to pick and choose…

But to resist… that was absolutely impossible.

Disgruntled and indignant, Mo Yuantu and the others nevertheless managed to conceal these unspoken grievances behind a façade of reverence. They took out their Universe Treasures and dumped out all the contents, forming three massive piles on the mountain top.
