Chapter 1277: Chapter 1276: Focus

Surrounding Guard City in the northwest, there is a ring of mountains—tall and covered in dense forests, full of natural hazards and shrouded in mists, providing a haven for bands of bandits.

Every year, Guard City must send forces to exterminate these bandits, but the results are always minimal.

First, there are too many bandit groups, and second, there are skilled fighters among the bandits, along with cunning individuals, making the first extermination campaign by Guard City always a costly one.

Kunlun Mountain, previously called Shuanggushan or \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*shan, and to its south are other peaks like Guinaoshan, Dachashan, and so forth. One of these, Breakback Mountain, is the largest bandit stronghold in the northwest.

This stronghold houses bandits with God King Level fighters, so whenever Guard City heads to Breakback Mountain for a bandit purge, it does so with elite fighters from The Eight Great Families.

However, even with these elite fighters, the bandit plague of Breakback Mountain has never been completely eradicated.

Rumors have it that the boss of Breakback Mountain is named ’Kase Day’, an unparalleled master at the Divine King realm. Some say he is a High-level God King, others claim he is only half a step away from being a Divine Emperor, while there are those who argue he is a Mid-level God King, and so on.

Regardless of his rank, Guard City has been unable to do anything to Kase Day despite many years of bandit suppression.

Rumor has it that Kase Day ascended from the Lower Realm a long time ago; he escaped during his period of slavery, turned to banditry, and has retained the stigma on his face ever since. Known by the nickname: Lone Dragon Drill—he lost an eye, allegedly whipped out while he was a slave. Originally called One-eyed Dragon, later, after mastering skills that could pierce the heavens, the earth, and people’s hearts, the fame of Lone Dragon Drill grew increasingly.

Most of the bandits on Breakback Mountain are god slaves, branded on the face; they don’t bully slaves ascended from the Lower Realm but instead prey on the original divine folk.

Given Breakback Mountain’s proximity to Kunlun Mountain, when a rainbow appeared over Kunlun Mountain, all nine leaders of Breakback Mountain saw it.

Breakback Mountain houses the Majestic Palace, and right in front of it is the muster field, prompting the boss Kase Day along with the other eight leaders to rush into the sky, looking towards the north.

"Big brother, this is a sign of a legendary treasure’s appearance; it seems to be in the direction of \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*shan!" The speaker was the second-in-command of Breakback Mountain and his Think Tank, a man named Terry Cox, full of schemes and adept at divination, being Kase Day’s right-hand man.

"Right, it’s indeed the direction of \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*shan. Number Six, you’re a fast runner, quickly go and investigate!" Kase Day bellowed.

"At your command!" A figure stepped out from among the nine, bowed to Kase Day, and with a flip of his body, he shuddered; soon after, he transformed into a golden-winged roc.

Originally a Demon Emperor from the Lower Realm, Golden-winged Roc Emperor, he nearly ended up roasted by the gods after his Ascension, which led him to seek refuge with Breakback Mountain’s Kase Day, taking the sixth rank, earning the nickname ’Quick Shot’, because he would always shoot away swiftly when flying out.

Although the golden-winged roc had the stigma as well, he intentionally never removed it, wearing the mark as a shame, always remembering it. With his Cultivation Level, he even reached the realm of upper-tier Deities, making him faster than a streak of light when he shot out.

In the blink of an eye, no one could see his shadow anymore.

A mere dozen breaths later, Quick Shot arrived at the so-called \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*shan, now known as Kunlun Mountain.

He was very familiar with this mountain range; after all, he had been a bandit here in Breakback Mountain before. However, when he came to Breakback Mountain this time, he found that the mountain was enveloped by a formation. Regardless of using Divine Sense or eyesight, he simply could not discern the situation within Breakback Mountain.

"What’s with this formation? It’s so strange. But Lara is here, there must be some rare treasures!" Quicker Shot circled high in the sky and then spread his wings to leave, returning to report back.

At the same time as Quicker Shot was returning to report, another streak of light flew over, heading towards Guard City in the northwest.

There are actually many high-ranking experts in Guard City, especially within the City Lord’s Mansion, which houses many Guest Elders and others like that. These are the aides to the City Lord, working for him.

The City Lord of Guard City surnamed Benson, named Roger Benson, and the Benson Family, belong to the Heavenly Realm’s First-class Families. And what are First-class Families? They’re the super clans right after The Eight Great Families, with at least Divine Emperor Level experts in them.

Any city in the Heavenly Realm is ruled by a First-class Family, while The Eight Great Families remain aloof, representing Heavenly Dao and also judgment. The selection of City Lords is contested among the First-class Families themselves, with The Eight Great Families just mediating.

Every few years, the Heavenly Realm would hold a City Lord contest and bidding competitions, etc., where the participants are all from First-class Families, judged by The Eight Great Families, with the victor becoming the City Lord of a certain city.

Of course, each First-class Family is, more or less, related to The Eight Great Families, because The Eight Great Families are too powerful, and First-class Families have to act in accordance with the will of The Eight Great Families.

For instance, Roger Benson’s Benson Family is actually deeply connected with Arellano Family, one of The Eight Great Families, whether through marriage alliances or subordinate relationships, etc.

...

The streak of light that arrived at Breakback Kunlun Mountain was a Guest Elder from the Benson Family of Guard City, also the fastest among them, known as ’Palmer Lady Wind’. This person, surnamed Palmer, was a woman, and although the Palmer Clan was a small family with very few descendants, they possessed the Innate Divine Ability to control wind.

Born with the ability to control the attribute of wind and wield the laws of wind, it was only unfortunate that the Palmer Clan had few offspring; otherwise, they would be a super clan as well. Thus, the Palmer Clan is now relying on the Benson Family, becoming distinguished guests in their home.

Palmer Lady Wind arrived at Breakback Kunlun Mountain and, after observing the situation, returned to report back as well!

After Palmer Lady Wind left, a continuous wave of streaks of light shot over from various directions, with the same objective of investigating the situation. But all they saw was the mountain shrouded in a formation and could not make out what appeared inside Breakback Mountain, so they all hurriedly returned to report back!

Speaking of which, after Quicker Shot from Sixth Boss of Breakback returned to report about Breakback Mountain, Big Boss Kase Day immediately decided to send Third Boss leading a thousand-man team to enter Breakback Mountain to hunt for treasures and to keep reporting on the situation there.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Guard City, they also dispatched a small squad, led by Holland Benson, the son of City Lord Roger Benson, with a hundred powerful devotees to enter Breakback Mountain.

At the same time, other organizations in the city and even Hunter teams began to make their move towards Breakback Mountain.

As this area is located in the northwest with few experts, even if the central powerhouses from The Eight Great Families noticed the rainbow appearing here, it would take them days to arrive. Hence, they could only order the people hidden in Guard City to scout the situation and search for treasures first, with them awaiting news at any time.

Of course, some high-level experts were already on the way, for example, those at the God King Level and even some at the Divine Emperor Level were rushing towards Breakback.

What Yusuf Zuck, Alden Baxter, and Leonidas King didn’t know was that their Breakback Kunlun Mountain had already become the focus of the Heavenly Realm, with everyone’s gaze fixed on this place!
