Chapter 858: Chapter 616: Your head is mine for the taking, Laozi_2

"For so many years, there has never been a task our Falling Immortal Mountain couldn’t complete. We can’t have our reputation ruined by a mere Wang Yang. If we can’t even handle a True One, who will come to us in the future?"

From the direction of the East of Falling Immortal Mountain, a coarse voice rang out, expressing clear defiance and suggesting continuing the pursuit of Wang Yang.

"I support Iron Man!"

From the West, a few words transmitted, but with a resolute tone, clearly siding with Iron Man from the East.

In the center of Falling Immortal Mountain, no voice was heard for a long time. Without the words of the person in the center, the other four remained silent, patiently waiting.

Because the final decision lay with the person in the center.

This person was the foremost of the five Loose Cultivators in Falling Immortal Mountain, a region that had been free from the control of the Cultivation Sect for many years, all because of his presence.

This person hailed from the Kunlun Mountains, to be precise, he was expelled from the Heavenly Mountain sect. His natural talent was extraordinary, a once-in-a-century Child of celestial Selection, but during a mission, he slaughtered his fellow sect members, thus being cast out from the Heavenly Mountain sect!

But the truth of the matter remains shrouded in mystery, known only by his moniker.

Carefree Child!

"Everyone, this matter ends here. Falling Immortal Mountain rejects the Nine Swords Sect’s bounty. Wang Yang’s background is extraordinary, and many factions such as Huaying Sect, Nine Swords Sect, True Martial Sect, and even Liu Wen are involved!"

"This is far beyond our reach. I remind you all, do not interfere, lest your thousand-year cultivation be destroyed in vain!"

After a long while, Carefree Child’s voice slowly emerged, seemingly after deep contemplation, speaking slowly so the other four could hear clearly.

"Since the elder brother refuses this deal, I, Iron Man, will take it up alone. I want to see what abilities Wang Yang possesses!"

On the East side, Iron Man seemed determined to claim Wang Yang’s head. Even after Carefree Child had spoken, he still persisted in his decision.

"As you wish!"

Carefree Child replied indifferently without further persuasion. He had said all that needed to be said, and any remaining choices were their own.

Though far away in Falling Immortal Mountain, Carefree Child could still see the battle clearly. What Wang Yang employed was the Ancient Daoist Sect’s Zhou Tian Bagua Technique, aligning with the laws of the Great Dao, rendering it unbreakable.

Not even the Heavenly Master Lineage’s talisman script techniques, which required talisman drawing and seal formations to invoke the Power of the celestial Way, could match it.

What Wang Yang performed was not an invocation but a fusion!

The fusion of the Power of the celestial Way into Divine Skills and Magical Power Art was almost flawless!

"Our Falling Immortal Mountain’s reputation cannot be affected by a mere Wang Yang. I am willing to join Iron Man!"

From the West, another voice spoke up. While the directions of North and South remained silent, clearly heeding Carefree Child’s warning.

Then, from both the East and West directions, two streams of light flashed and vanished.

In the central position, Carefree Child watched the departing figures of Iron Man and Cold Edge, deep in thought. Beside him, a White Robed woman slowly approached, speaking softly.

"I see you are very wary of Wang Yang; it is rare to see you so concerned!"

Carefree Child sighed, a look of heaviness on his face. He had indeed conducted a lot of investigations into Wang Yang, spurred initially by Lingyu.

"From the first time Wang Yang struck, I paid close attention. During the killing of the Nine Swords Sect disciples at the boundary of the Western Territory, he used not just the ordinary Power of Thunder and Lightning!"

"It was the Thunderclap Force from the Zhou Tian Bagua Technique. You know, the Zhou Tian Bagua Technique of the Ancient Daoist Sect has long been lost. Even in the Kunlun Mountains, no one can perform such a complete Zhou Tian Bagua Technique!"

"Most importantly, Liu Wen gave Lingyu to him for a reason. Judging from their tracks, their destination appears to be the Youdu Mountain Range!"

"Are you saying Lingyu is the daughter of our Senior Brother?"

Hearing Carefree Child’s judgement, the White Robed woman couldn’t help but exclaim. Using the term "Senior Brother" to refer to Zhang Xiaofan of the Heavenly Master Lineage revealed her identity, indicating she too hailed from the Heavenly Mountain sect!

"No doubt! Our Senior Brother was deeply involved with the Ghost Master’s daughter in the Youdu Mountain Range years ago, and they had a daughter. Given her age, she should be seven or eight. This girl was taken by Wang Yang from Liu Wen, and that fits perfectly!"

"Back then, besides you and me, there was only Liu Wen who was closest to Senior Brother in private!"

Carefree Child said with certainty. Although expelled from the Heavenly Mountain sect, Zhang Xiaofan’s bond with Carefree Child and the White Robed woman remained unchanged.

They were fellow disciples, naturally united like siblings!

"What are you planning to do next?"

"With Wang Yang protecting Senior Brother’s daughter, along with Cao Man and Muxue, she will be fine. However, once they enter the Youdu Mountain Range, the Ghost Master’s line will surely detect them. Although these young ones have extraordinary means, they lack experience and will likely fall into a trap. I will follow and enter the Youdu Mountain Range with them!"

"I’ll go with you!"

Carefree Child shook his head; the Youdu Mountain Range was too dangerous, and the long-awaited opportunity must not be missed. If Lingyu awakens the Underworld Blood in the Youdu Mountain Range, the Ghost Master will surely appear and open the gates to the Yin Yang Realms.

This is the best chance to rescue Zhang Xiaofan!

But it is fraught with peril, with slim chances of survival!

Carefree Child had no confidence of returning alive, so he would not let the White Robed woman accompany him on such a dangerous venture.

"Together we might have a slim chance. If not for Senior Brother, I wouldn’t have survived back then. This gratitude is as much mine as it is yours!"

The White Robed woman insisted, her gaze unwavering. Carefree Child sighed, nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Wang Yang was unaware that within Falling Immortal Mountain, two masters were rapidly approaching with the intent of striking down Yu Daoming and his group with thunderous might, having ample deterrent force.

By now, they had crossed most of the Falling Leaves Mountain Range and were less than an hour’s journey from the last peak.

"Let’s rest for a while!"

Seeing Lingyu covered in sweat, Wang Yang decided to take a break. Although the short distance meant nothing to him and the other two, Lingyu, after all, was just a seven- or eight-year-old child.

Without awakening the Underworld Blood, Lingyu’s body couldn’t hold the heaven and earth spiritual power, as the cultivation methods of the nether realm and Underworld do not primarily rely on it.

"Okay!"

As soon as Wang Yang’s group of four sat down, Wang Yang’s figure suddenly dashed out, pulling Cao Man and the other two into a fast retreat. Then, with a loud bang, the ground shook violently.

A gigantic, bottomless crater appeared where they had just been. A brawny man, bare-chested, stood on the peak, an enormous iron hammer on his shoulder, looking down with contempt.

"Courting death!"

Cao Man’s eyes flashed with cold light, and spiritual power erupted from his body. Just as he was about to make a move, Wang Yang stopped him. The cultivation of these Loose Cultivators was complex, but they were skilled in concealing their aura.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived in such a lawless place!

"There’s another aura, hidden in the northwest. Muxue should have noticed. I’ll handle this brawny man; you stay guarded against the hidden one, probably a Sword Cultivator!"

"Understood!"

Muxue nodded. At first, she had indeed sensed Iron Man’s aura, but she hadn’t expected him to cross spatial boundaries so quickly and strike directly.

There was no time to warn them before the attack; had Wang Yang not retreated immediately, they would all be severely injured by now.

The impact was terrifying, and Muxue was unsure she could withstand it!

"One after another, they come to die. I let Shachi go, but it doesn’t mean everyone can leave alive from my hands!"

"Hahaha, your head is mine!"

The man’s eyes were cold as he looked at Wang Yang, his voice chilling.
