Chapter 594: Chapter 172 Overbearing Three Mountains【Added 8 more by the leader of the Silver Alliance, wise Hai Chen】 Chapter 594: Chapter 172 Overbearing Three Mountains【Added 8 more by the leader of the Silver Alliance, wise Hai Chen】 Xu Yangbo roared in anger.

“Now, our dignity is ruined, thousands of disciples dead, the mountain gate destroyed; an entire peak has been eroded, our reputation dragged through the mud. And only when our forefathers rectified the situation, bending over backwards for you, did you feel satisfied!?”

All was quiet, hearts filled with regret.

“Forefather! We only regret not being strong enough!”

An elder knelt on the ground, his face streaked with tears, “If we also had such an overpowering strength that none could match, would the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace dare to bully us!?”

Xu Yangbo coldly said, “To still have this mindset is a severe mistake!”

“Today I’m teaching you a principle: Before possessing the strength to conquer the world, you must act reasonably! Otherwise, you will only make a fool of yourself! Otherwise… Even if you succeed for a while, you will bear even more severe retribution later!”

“Is the strength of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace trivial? But have they acted unreasonably? Have they ever bullied someone without cause? No, right? Even with their powerful influence, they show restraint. Why do you act so arrogant and domineering?”

Xu Ningqing said, “Father’s wise words touch us deeply, but the reality now is that Dong Pingjiang’s arrival caused death and destruction. He destroyed our mountain gate, killed thousands of our disciples, and destroyed our peak. Did he act reasonably? Have those innocent victims offended him?”

Xu Yangbo was furious, “Every river has a source, every tree has roots. Everything has cause and effect; there is always a cause before a result. If you hadn’t engaged in such dirty deeds, they wouldn’t have had a reason to attack us! Do you think Jun Mountain is a paradise, a sacred ground for cultivation, that could attract Dong Pingjiang? You still deny everything and shirk responsibilities, do you have no shame? Can’t you have a little dignity?!”

Everyone fell silent.

“Aren’t you going to arrest people? Deal with those who should be dealt with, execute those who should be executed, imprison those who should be imprisoned. You can’t think that it’s all over, can you?”

Xu Yangbo paused and then said, “Or… Do I have to do all this myself?”

“Yes.”

“Get ready. Two days from now, all peak masters and real power elders among you, will come with me to the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace to apologize.”

“Only when we apologize in person and offer recompense will this matter truly be put to rest!”

Xu Yangbo left in a blink of an eye, leaving the crowd stunned.

People had once thought that one day, they would settle the score with the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.

It now seemed, what a ridiculous thought that was!

The Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, with just one person, reduced Jun Mountain to such a state, and they barely made an effort, at least not their full effort, they didn’t even really try to kill!

Of course, if the entire strength of Jun Mountain joined forces to besiege Dong Pingjiang alone, regardless of whether forefather Xu Yangbo did anything, there are certain chances to kill Dong Pingjiang.

But what happens after the death?

The Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace has more than one practitioner with Dong Pingjiang’s level of cultivation.

The fact that the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace always towers above the Three Mountain is due to its real strength outweighing theirs by a lot!

Moreover…The overall strength outweighing and actually ambushing Dong Pingjiang are two very different concepts. As long as Dong Pingjiang isn’t stupid, it wouldn’t be difficult to escape… Afterwards, the nightmare for Jun Mountain would truly begin!

Even if everyone present understood this logic, some were still defiant at heart.

We failed to kill Dong Xiaoyan successfully. If Dong Xiaoyan dies, who has evidence that it’s our doing?

What’s wrong with practicing evil skills? As long as the heart is righteous, what difference does it make whether the method is evil or not?

In a world where the strong are respected, does any practitioner not seek power?

The forefather is indeed making a big fuss over nothing, sacrificing the main point to emphasize a trivial one…

But these words, no matter how daring they are, they dare not say them out loud.

An inappropriate comment at this time might lead to being disdained forever. Better to keep quiet!

…

Meanwhile, on Wansui Mountain, one could see a fierce battle with intense chaos.

The former master of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, Dong Pingtian, led five elders of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and barged into Wansui Mountain, demanding justice for his granddaughter.

There was nobody in Wansui Mountain who had a good relationship with Dong Pingtian, hence an immediate apology was out of the question!

They formed a unified front, overwhelming dominance, wreaking havoc from east to west, from north to south of Wansui Mountain, causing countless casualties.

The old forefather of the Wansui Mountain was even being chased and slapped by the old head of Dong Pingtian.

“I just want to ask, when Yan Yan from our family killed someone from Jun Mountain, what does it have to do with you, Wansui Mountain?! Explain it to me, give me a reason! Speak!”

The poor old forefather had no understanding of the situation, and kept explaining, “Brother Dong, Brother Dong, what exactly is going on? I don’t know what happened, allow me to investigate!”

Dong Pingtian didn’t listen to any explanation at all. He kept chasing and beating him, “Why did you meddle in other people’s affairs? Tell me, why don’t you speak up?”

“So what if a murder takes place? Did she kill someone from your Wansui Mountain? Why are you getting involved?”

“Meddling will cost you, and there is a price to pay for being petty!”

“Why, why does Wansui Mountain have to be so petty?”

For a moment, the old forefather of Wansui Mountain was so angry and wronged that he couldn’t describe it because he really didn’t know anything.

As the old forefather of Wansui Mountain, he had long since abandoned worldly affairs and concentrated on his martial arts practice. But Dong Pingtian was the former master of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace. When he came, he naturally went to him, the highest authority in Wansui Mountain.

Poor Wansui Mountain’s old forefather didn’t even get the chance to ask what had happened when would be manhandled.

And he was afraid of making a mistake and offending people.

This beating was both a miscarriage of justice and a mortifying spectacle; she was mercilessly pummeled in front of all the disciples of Wansui Mountain. She was left completely humiliated!

By the end of it, she was coughing up blood, not from the beating, but from sheer anger!

“Why is this happening?!”

“What on earth is going on?”

“Surely when you barge into my home and beat me up, you should at least provide a reason?!”

Yet no matter how she questioned, the answer was always the same. “Go ask your descendants! Do you think I have the leisure to explain it to you?!”

The farce concluded when Dong Pingtian and his team of six had destroyed Wansui Mountain to their satisfaction, venting their anger before finally pulling back.

Oh, wait, not quite. The real ending came just before they left, when Dong Pingtian grabbed the elder of Wansui Mountain, slapped him several times, and kicked him thoroughly before finally leaving.

“I’ll be waiting for you at Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace!”

After the six left, the elder of Wansui Mountain lost his mind. He summoned all the surviving senior members of Wansui Mountain, anger boiling, demanding answers.

What on earth had happened?

The elder had gone mad. Despite his profound talent and countless adventures throughout his life, he had never endured such humiliation since his youth.

This was simply the worst nightmare of his life!

It was only after witnessing the overwhelming might of Dong Pingtian and the others that the people of Wansui Mountain realized why the two palaces could easily subdue Three Mountains. They fearfully narrated the entire incident…

And then, the elder of Wansui Mountain went ballistic!

The fact that he got dragged out of his meditation retreat for an unprovoked beating and was slapped around by a bunch of good-for-nothing youngsters really irked him. He was steaming, and he took it out on everyone present, throwing an insane tantrum.

For thousands of years, Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace had largely stayed clear of the world, with only a few disciples training in the ways of the martial world. Because of their low profile, their reputation had been considerably reduced.

But that was them keeping a low profile! How did that become a reason for you to run wild?!

But therein lay the problem: the elder people of the Three Mountains took the low profile of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace as a sign of weakness. ‘With our combined strength, we can easily take down Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace!’

All the previous incidents with Miao Jianhan and the devastating blow dealt to Dong Xiaoyan by Ice Phoenix, which led to the loss of two Dao Protectors from Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, were all seen as a great advantage!

Only the elders remembered how terrifying the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and Absolute Sword Devil Palace were!

How strong their foundations were and that they were far from ordinary sects!

Even compared to the three mountains, they were just commonplace! They were clear about the disastrous consequences of provoking a sect that had a history of tens of thousands of years over one that only had a few thousand years’ worth of heritage.

But the problem here was that the current leaders of the sect were essentially young people, who lacked understanding compared to the elders.

When they caused trouble, it was the elders who had to clean up their mess!

Losing face was indeed deserved!

“In two days, you will accompany me to Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace to apologize!”

The elder, having vented his rage by beating everyone present, finally gave the order.

“Execute all those who participated in this plot immediately. What use is there for such a menace to the group to remain alive?”

The elder cried bitterly, “You can’t even handle a simple task! At least don’t let me take the blame…”

…

Compared to Supreme Mountain, Wansui Mountain and Jun Mountain were relatively lucky.

Because Supreme Mountain was personally visited by Dong Canglan and his wife.

The spectacle of the master of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace going out is naturally extraordinary. Among the 36 top masters accompanying him, four were elders of the same generation as Dong Pingjiang.

Upon reaching Supreme Mountain, both sides didn’t engage in useless talk; they just started fighting!

On the one hand, they felt like they had the upper hand, while on the other hand, they just wanted to start a war!

The fight kicked off quickly.

Just like…

What are you looking at?

You got a problem with that?!

Well, they didn’t actually say that, but the fight unfolded in a pretty similar fashion.

…
