Chapter 395: Chapter 391: Snatching a Spot (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The entire Star Cloud Path seemed uncontrollable, noisy and chaotic, with even a few people trying to rush past. However, Old Guang knocked them back with a single palm.

“Hmph, keep your little schemes to yourself.”

“This Star Cloud Path is in a special situation. If anyone dares to damage the Star Cloud Path.”

“Exterminating their entire clan wouldn’t be excessive.”

As an Inner Sect Elder of the Star Sect, Old Guang’s words were not mere talk. He was indeed a powerful figure.

At this moment, Old Guang drew a sword, standing guard at the entrance of Star Cloud Path, emanating a sharp aura that exerted immense pressure on the low-level martial artists.

“The senior is right. The one who tried to rush into Star Cloud Path just now serves as an example.”

“I wonder if the senior has a solution. I’m in a hurry to participate in the Star Sect’s assessment.”

Zhou Kun stepped forward, his face full of pride. He looked around, emphasizing the words “special assessment,” and courteously cupped his hands towards Old Guang.

“Tch, what’s with the pretense? He’s only respectful because the Bridge Guardian is an elder of the Star Sect.”

“Pretending to be a gentleman, but you don’t see him acting this way when he’s hitting people for no reason.”

Some martial artists looked at Zhou Kun with disdain, but they didn’t say anything out loud due to Zhou Kun’s strength and strong background, only keeping their criticism to themselves.

“Miss, it seems that there’s a problem with the Star Cloud Path now, and only a thousand people can pass through.”

“What should we do? I heard the nearby Sunset Mountain is very dangerous, and neither Sixth Uncle nor Uncle Mu can fight now.”

“If we encounter those bandits, it might delay your participation in the assessment.”

Xiao Huan quietly said to Ning Wei.

The mountain range beside Star Cloud Path, known as Sunset Mountain, was dangerous due to its special topography and its small but intricate and concealed paths, hiding many lurking bandits.

These bandits were ruthless and powerful, fond of robbing people who took the detour around Star Cloud Path.

It was much more dangerous compared to Star Cloud Path.

Why would anyone go there despite the danger? Naturally, for valuable treasures, enticing people to bypass Star Cloud Path and venture into Sunset Mountain instead.

In the Martial Arts World, danger and opportunity often coexist.

“No rush. Let’s see how that senior resolves the situation.”

“If we really can’t get through, we’ll think of something else.”

Ning Wei frowned slightly, her face showing some concern. After the battle that night, both Uncle Mu and Sixth Uncle were practically defeated, and if they encountered those fierce bandits, even though she could fight, she couldn’t protect the two uncles continuously.

For some reason, Ning Wei, whether intentionally or not, glanced at Ye Tian, finding him as calm as ever, not at all worried about whether he could pass through Star Cloud Path.

Instead, he walked to the sides of Star Cloud Path, peeked over, and looked down at the endless abyss, very mysteriously.

“This is the last chance to pass through Star Cloud Path in the next few days.”

About a thousand people can pass, and you will have to compete for these spots based on your strength.”

“But you must not go too far. You have a quarter of an hour to consider your options. Otherwise, Star Cloud Path will temporarily close.”

Old Guang, like an ancient monk in meditation, closed his eyes after speaking, standing silently with a sword in hand.

As soon as Old Guang finished speaking, the entire area fell as silent as a midnight burial mound. No one spoke, but everyone’s eyes flashed with fierce intent.

Old Guang’s words were clear: those with the strongest fists would get the slots.

Some smart martial artists already understood; now was the time for either fighting or paying a passage fee to the stronger ones for a slot…

In any case, safely passing through Star Cloud Path was not going to be an easy task.

Along the way, Ning Wei and her group encountered several caravans of varying sizes.

Some of these caravans were selling beast treasures, some sold elixirs, and others traded in beast-fur clothes, among other things.

Ning Wei and her companions had seen everything from massive caravans with hundreds of people to tiny ones with only a few members.

In short, many people present might not be able to pass through, as plenty had come to the Ten Thousand Mountains either as loose cultivators trying their luck or as family or sect disciples undergoing training.

“Miss, what should we do now?”

“There are so many people here, we can’t fight them all.”

Xiao Huan was getting anxious. If they couldn’t pass today, they would miss the Star Sect’s assessment entirely.

If that happened and the news of Wuchen’s murder got out, without the Star Sect’s protection, the Ning Family would be doomed with no chance of survival.

At this moment, Uncle Mu and Sixth Uncle also came over, surrounding Ning Wei cautiously watching the surroundings. Uncle Mu said, “Xiao Wei, us two old men have no fight left in us.”

“You should go alone! You must join the Star Sect; your talent cannot go to waste.”

“Wuchen had a storage bag with many valuable items. I think we could use them to trade for a slot.”

“This…”

Ning Wei didn’t say much, feeling only gratitude. It wasn’t the time for emotions. If they couldn’t get through Star Cloud Path, their chances would be slim.

The route through Sunset Mountain was too dangerous, almost a certain death sentence.

At that moment, a domineering voice broke the dead silence: “I, Gong Dao, want thirty slots.”

“You all have no objections, right!”

Gong Dao, wielding an imposing blade, spoke loudly and fiercely. His intimidating face made people’s scalps tingle.

With someone taking the lead, the fight began. Zhou Kun also said, “I, Zhou Kun, want thirty slots as well.”

“I, Golden Snake, also want thirty slots, not too much to ask, right!”

Gong Dao, the Sword Madman, Zhou Kun of the Zhou Family, and the loose cultivator Golden Snake, three top experts standing together, their released powerful auras making it hard for anyone to argue.

“This is too much!!!”

“You are less than ten people combined, why do you need a hundred slots?”

“I don’t agree.”

A martial artist in ordinary black clothes stood up, pointing at Zhou Kun and cursing. It was clear the rabbit was desperate enough to bite back. As a penniless, weak loose cultivator, getting stuck here would mean enormous losses for him.

Since the demon beast bags sold in the market could only preserve the essence of the demon beast cores for a limited time, any delay would drastically reduce their value.

The loose cultivator’s loud complaints and his glances towards the Bridge Guardian Old Guang seeking support were obvious, but Old Guang, like a thousand-year-old pine, showed no response.

Zhou Kun was nobody to take lightly. He smirked slightly at the loose cultivator’s reaction and moved in a flash, leaving behind a shadow.

“Bang~~~”
