Chapter 503: Chapter 502: The night in the mountains is perfect for murder!

Mengyun Chuan’s face changed at the mention of the word "temple".

Mengyun Xiang said exasperatedly, "Hmph, I warn you, don’t have designs on the temple. If you provoke the Mountain God in the temple, not only will you suffer, but all the demon beasts and warriors in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains will die."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai thought, could it really be that terrifying?

Mengyun Chuan said, "Brother Lin, don’t ask too many questions about the temple. This is a forbidden topic among the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains."

Lin Bai laughed and said, "I was just asking casually."

Mengyun Chuan took a deep breath and said, his eyes reflecting a hint of concealed fear, "There is indeed a temple in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, a forbidden area. Any warrior below the Human Elixir Realm will undoubtedly die upon entering it."

"Throughout history, not a single warrior who has entered the forbidden area of the temple in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains has ever emerged alive."

"Moreover, there are formidable guardian beings in the forbidden area, who possess the power to easily kill the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm."

"Not only that, even if you manage to break through those guardian beings, there is an incredibly powerful Mountain God within the temple."

"When the Mountain God gets angry, all the demon beasts and warriors in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains will die."

Mengyun Chuan spoke warily.

"Brother Lin, remember not to mention the temple in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and never try to find it. Otherwise, if others hear about it, you’ll be taken as an enemy, becoming the target of all the warriors in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains."

Mengyun Chuan warned seriously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai nodded and said, "I understand."

"By the way, Brother Meng, what were you talking about Qi Mountain and the Yishan Family earlier?"

Lin Bai curiously asked again.

Mengyun Chuan said, "Hehe, in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, there are adventurers from all over the place. Because the terrain is complex, warriors of Half-step Divine Pill Realm may easily get lost in it."

"In the course of time, some temporary bases for adventurers appeared in the mountains, and Qi Mountain and the Yishan Family are among the most powerful ones."

"Later, Qi Mountain and the Yishan Family began to act as transit points, essentially becoming a chamber of commerce."

"For instance, we at Qi Mountain are responsible for hiring adventurers and letting them hunt demon beasts for Qi Mountain in exchange for spiritual stones. Qi Mountain then transports the rare materials and pelts from these beasts to sell."

"In this way, a business chain is formed."

"Adventurers can keep training in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and all their hunted materials will be sold by Qi Mountain. This would save a lot of time and Qi Mountain can maintain its operation by making a profit from the price differences."

Mengyun Chuan said with a smile.

Lin Bai laughed and said, "So, that means Qi Mountain and the Yishan Family are the two biggest bases within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains?"

Mengyun Chuan laughed and said, "Yes, Qi Mountain was set up by my Meng Clan, and now nearly a hundred thousand adventurers have joined."

"And the Yishan Family is no weaker, they also have over a hundred thousand adventurers."

"The Yishan Family have big ambitions, they have always wanted to swallow up Qi Mountain, hence the two alliances often clash in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Whenever their adventurers meet, a fight is inevitable!"

Lin Bai nodded in understanding, thinking to himself, survival never was easy, no matter where you were!

And so the group kept running through the mountains for a whole day.

When night fell.

A guardian near Qin Meng said, "Big Brother Qin Meng, the Tiger Jumping Cliff, where we’re supposed to meet the Second Young Master of Yishan, is just ahead."

Qin Meng looked at the sky and chuckled coldly, "Perfect timing, the night in this mountain is the best time for killing."

At that moment, Qin Meng rode his horse forward and said to Zhaoyun Chuan, "Eldest Young Master, we are about to enter the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, we should have a rest now, otherwise, if demon beasts start attacking us in the mountains, our men will be too tired to fend them off."

Zhaoyun Chuan looked at the sky and said, "Well, the Tiger Jumping Cliff is just ahead. Let’s rest there for an hour. Tell everyone to store up their energy so that we can reach Qi Mountain safely."

Qin Meng responded, "All right."

"Brother Lin, we will rest just ahead, we’ll be able to reach Qi Mountain by dawn tomorrow."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Okay."

Immediately, they arrived at the Tiger Jumping Cliff.

The team started resting in groups, with Qin Meng arranging sentries for patrol.

Lin Bai had just sat down, preparing for a good rest. It had been half a month since he flew from Shenwu Kingdom on his sword, so he really needed a rest during this extended period.

Just as Lin Bai began to close his eyes and recuperate, Mengyun Xiang came over and said, "Let me tell you something, I don’t know what your scheme is, but you had better stay put, or you’ll pay with your life."

Lin Bai said helplessly, "My Lady Meng, what do I need to say for you to believe that I just came to ask directions?"

Mengyun Xiang didn’t buy it, "Liar, you either covet my brother’s spiritual stones or my beauty. Otherwise, why would you have ended up here?"

Lin Bai reluctantly touched his nose and said, "I have no interest in your brother’s spiritual stones."

Mengyun Xiang was taken aback and said with joy, "Ha, I knew it. You must be lusting after my beauty. Hmph, it’s normal for you to like me, given that I’m one of the few beauties in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!"

Lin Bai felt pressed again and said, "And I don’t have any interest in your beauty either."

Mengyun Xiang said angrily, "I don’t believe it. Anyway, you’re either coveting my brother’s spiritual stones, or lusting after me, make your choice."

Lin Bai was at his wit’s end, looking at the blunt little girl.

The little girl was smugly staring at Lin Bai. Under the moonlight, she actually looked quite fresh and attractive.

Suddenly!

Lin Bai felt a whiff of danger.

Sitting on the ground, Lin Bai stretched out his hand and pulled Mengyun Xiang towards him.

She struggled free in embarrassment and rage, shouting, "Even if you lust after me, you shouldn’t be so shameless. I’m telling you, there are many people who want to pursue me."

"Shut up!"

Lin Bai, intensely focused, pushed down Mengyun Xiang’s head, which she had just raised.

Suddenly, the sound of arrows cutting through the air came from within the Tiger Jumping Cliff. The sound was very quiet, like the whistling of the wind.

Lin Bai looked up and saw several dark arrows soaring down from the sky. Under the cover of the night, the arrows flew silently. If not for Lin Bai’s sharp senses, the arrows would have been hardly perceptible.

"Brother Meng, look out!"

Lin Bai looked, saw some ten arrows heading straight for Mengyun Chuan in the dark, and several others coming for Mengyun Xiang, but Lin Bai had blocked them all!
