Chapter 589: Chapter 168: Seeking Revenge on Jun Mountain (Combined Chapters)__3 Chapter 589: Chapter 168: Seeking Revenge on Jun Mountain (Combined Chapters)__3 During the period when the Three Mountains were unity through marriage, the Three Mountains grew stronger together, their influence almost overshadowing the Two Palaces.

Unexpectedly, this future hope of Jun Mountain, the cherished son of the Three Mountains, perished shortly after his wedding at the hands of Dong Xiaoyan, a daughter of the Palace Master of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace!

Upon confirming the news, the Three Mountains collectively erupted in fury, vowing to avenge their loss by wiping out Dong Xiaoyan!

The Three Mountains joined forces to surround Dong Xiaoyan, killing her two protectors and leaving her on the verge of death. Had they not decided to capture Dong Xiaoyan alive and execute her at Miao Jianhan’s grave, she might have already been dead.

However, the tide changed with Dong Xiaoyan’s battle pet, Ice Phoenix. Seeing its master in danger, it self-destructed in a last-ditch effort, giving Dong Xiaoyan a glimmer of hope.

Although no true ancestors were called in to mediate this dispute, those who were involved were enough to upset the balance of power at the time.

Finally, several high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace appeared, followed by people from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace. The overbearing intervention of these two palaces led to a peace agreement.

In the end, the agreement marked the Ice Phoenix’s self-destruction as the period signifying the end of the incident. Thus, the matter was laid to rest.

Despite Miao Jianhan’s brilliance and potential, he was only a fourth-rank Heavenly Level when he passed away. The Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace had suffered the loss of two high-grade protectors and Dong Xiaoyan was severely injured. Most importantly, the fall of the Ice Phoenix represents Dong Xiaoyan’s journey has nearly come to an end. In retrospect, the cost they paid seemed fair.

Despite their resentment, the Three Mountains had no choice but to accept this result!

However, what the Three Mountains did not expect was Dong Xiaoyan reappearing in the world after several years, making a name for herself, and making significant progress in cultivation.

Where is the feebleness they’d presume she’d now carry, at the end of her path?!

But the original Miao Jianhan … he really died and was prematurely ended!

After enduring years of torment, his father, Miao Yusheng, finally decided to seek revenge.

He first instigated the high-ranking members of Jun Mountain, alleging that Dong Xiaoyan’s killing of Miao Jianhan was premeditated, and even part of a conspiracy by the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.

They were wary of Miao Jianhan’s exceptional talent, which could threaten the status quo of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace if not nipped in the bud. Now that Miao Jianhan has fallen, Jun Mountain has no chance of surpassing Cloud Palace. As the culprit, Dong Xiaoyan should not be allowed to roam free.

At that time, the high-ranking members of Jun Mountain had already questioned the intentions of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace. Miao Yusheng’s argument seemed to hit a nerve. They pitied his loss of such a promising son and looked the other way with regard to the impending actions.

Thus, Miao Yusheng successfully obtained the disc of the great array covering Jun Mountain, took it down the mountain and sought cooperation with Supreme Mountain and Wansui Mountain!

More than a thousand members of the Three Mountains formed a grand array and set a deadly trap to kill Dong Xiaoyan.

However, if not for the unexpected intervention of Feng Yin, this determined, flawless ambush should have been successfully executed.

Regarding this incident, many upper-ranking members of Jun Mountain felt a sense of ‘finally being able to vent their pent-up frustration’, even though they themselves could not participate in the act due to various considerations on their end.

But on the day when the plot was set and the plan was fixed, everyone was stunned.

Because the soul jade pendants of the 468 Jun Mountain disciples who went out, including Miao Yusheng’s soul jade pendant, shattered one after another, leaving not a single one intact!

The disciple guarding the Spirit Jade Pavilion was terrified when he saw this situation. He stumbled out and reported the occurrence.

This time, even the old ancestors of Jun Mountain who had been in retreat for many years were disturbed. Everyone in Jun Mountain rushed into the Spirit Jade Pavilion to see what was happening.

Looking at the rows of disciple jade pendants, these jade pendants belong to the disciples who were out. It was a tradition passed down from the older generations of Jun Mountain.

In fact, disciples above Earth Level would leave their Soul Jade Pendants here when they were out. Only those with at least Earth Level cultivation could qualify for this.

If the jade pendant cracks, it means severe injury and rescue is needed. If it breaks directly, it means death is certain.

But now…since the establishment of Jun Mountain, never has there been a situation where more than five hundred disciples’ jade pendants shattered at the same time.

The reason why the number exceeds five hundred is because many other Jun Mountain disciples who joined in the manhunt in the dense forest also died.

“How is it possible that even Jade Saint is dead!”

The Great Elder of Jun Mountain was shocked, with a sharp look in his eyes.

“Eight of Heavenly-level Peak, ten of the ninth-grade Heavenly Level disciples, seventeen eighth-grade Heavenly Level, fifty-six of the sixth-grade Heavenly Level, one hundred and twenty from the first to fifth-grade Heavenly Level disciples, and more than two hundred Earth Level disciples… all died unnatural deaths!”

“How is this possible?!”

“Who did it?!”

“Who is it?!”

Naturally, no one answered this question.

“Investigate! Thoroughly investigate!”

High-ranking officials of Jun Mountain had a hunch about where Miao Yusheng had gone. This mass mobilization of disciples could not have been without a cause!

Immediately, an ultra-grade powerhouse of Jun Mountain rushed to the battlefield as quickly as possible, depleting their origin.”””

When this person arrived, they met with the high-ranking individuals of Supreme Mountain and Wansui Mountain unexpectedly.
