Chapter 132 132: Not Good People
?
A woman walked inside the Dragon Mountain, followed by a young man, who held his Sword, always ready for battle.
Dragon Mountain was close to the strongest Alchemy Sect in the world. And the two people were the Outer Disciples of the Sect. Both of them knew how dangerous this place was, especially the woman whose consciousness had come back in time from the future.
She knew better than anyone else just what kind of place the Dragon Mountain was. It was said that at the peak of the Dragon Mountain, there lived a real dragon that even the Master of their Sect wasn't able to defeat.
For their mission, the two people only had to gather some herbs from the outer zone of the mountain, to become Inner Disciples. However, even the outer zone was filled with monsters that were threatening to the people of their level.
"Walk behind me and stay close. From this area, it's the zone of the Blizzard Wolves." The man took the lead, carefully observing his surroundings.
However, not long after, he noticed the marks on the ground.
The foot marks definitely didn't belong to the Wolves, since they were much bigger.
"Be careful, there might be some other kind of creature lurking around," the man warned as he raised his sword.
They continued walking with caution until they found the herbs they were looking for. Fortunately, none of them came across any beasts along the way.
That even surprised the man, since they didn't even see the Bizzard Wolf that were known to lurk in the outer zone. It was as if all the weaker beasts were hiding for some reason.
However, he didn't think much about it. He picked the herbs, excited. The mission was completed.
"We can go back now." He said after standing up. However, as he turned around, he was stunned. Aria wasn't anywhere to be found!
"Aria!"
He looked around, calling out her name, but there was no response. A sudden wave of panic washed over him. What if something had happened to her? He knew he had to find her quickly.
However, Dragon Mountain was a dangerous place. He didn't believe Aria was stupid enough to go further when there was no reason to.
He searched in the nearby area for the young girl, but he didn't find her anywhere. There were no footsteps of beasts nearby, which made him sure that no beast took her.
He couldn't help but wonder if she went back without telling him. However, still he searched for a little longer, before ultimately he turned around and decided to go back to check if she already left.
He didn't realize that the woman hadn't left the mountain. Instead, she had intentionally separated from them, advancing toward the peak of the Mountain. She knew exactly where the Celestial Lotus was.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one.
Multiple Giant Ships were also advancing toward the Dragon Mountain, faster than the speed of light.
Even though it was a lower world and even a single ship was enough to destroy it, for some reason, an entire army came down from the Divine Realm this time, to make sure that there was no mistake.
However, before them, there was a much smaller group which reached the foot of the Mountain.
"The Dragon Mountain... Not a bad place for the Celestial Lotus..."
Even though it took him some time, Xu Shan finally reached the Celestial Lotus.
However, as soon as he reached there, he saw Ayeze coming out of the forest at the foot of the mountain.
Ayeze also looked at the two young men in the distance who were being stopped by the guards from the Sect at the foot of the mountain.
At the moment, the Dragon Mountain was under the sect and only the people from the Sect were able to enter with permission for missions.
The guards of the Sect stopped Xu Shan and Duan Mu from entering, telling them to go back.
However, what Ayeze saw next made him horrified. He didn't even see how Duan Mu moved, but the next moment, all the guards were lying on the ground, bleeding.
Duan Mu appeared much different than before. There was not a single hesitation on his face when killing someone. Moreover, he had grown quite strong, at least he was now able to take out the guards without going all out.
Xu Shan stepped forward with his hands behind his back, not paying attention to the guards.
He noticed Ayeze who hid behind a tree instantly. However, he ignored the young man. He had to get to the top of the Mountain first.
Initially he planned to fly straight to the top of the Mountain. However, for some reason, he noticed that there was some restriction around the mountain which made it impossible for him to fly straight to the top.
If he wasn't restricted by the Laws of the Lower Realm, he could've broken the restriction of the mountain easily, but it was too much work now.
Instead, he decided to walk to the top.
With calm steps, he started climbing the mountain. However, even as he walked at a calm pace, his movement was still so fast that Ayeze could only see his reflection.
After the two youngsters left, Ayeze came out of his hiding, stunned. "Just who were those two?"
He could still fear his hands trembling in fear. Even though he didn't see Xu Shan attack, but he could only imagine how strong the man was, who was being followed by someone as strong as Duan Mu.
For someone in the weakest lower realm, the strength Duan Mu showed was beyond his understanding. Moreover, that was when he didn't have a Celestial Spirit at all!
Ayeze couldn't help but wonder what kind of training and cultivation techniques Duan Mu underwent to attain such power. Moreover, he was also confused as to why these people were here?
"I must tell the Sect Master! They don't look like good people! Whatever they are here for... It's not good news!"
The man spoke out loud before he started running. However, as soon as he took his first step, he froze, feeling someone's presence behind him.
