Chapter 220 – Three Months Later, Transformed Sinews and Bones (One)

Surprisingly, the three elders had never even considered the possibility that Ye Kuang possessed a Kunlun Invitation.

They had originally assumed he was merely a junior who had stumbled into Kunlun seeking opportunities, never imagining he would have such connections.

Thus, Sage Yisu decided to bring Ye Kuang into the mountains, and even Sage Yixiao and Sage Yichen had no grounds to stop him.

Though they had arrived swiftly, their return journey was noticeably slower.

This wasn’t due to unwillingness to hasten, but rather a deliberate slowing of pace to prevent rivals from causing trouble.

For Kunlun, outsiders could spell catastrophic disaster.

It must be mentioned that since Kunlun’s formation, it has attracted countless heroes across the land. But after the first Ancestral Master’s dominant rise and establishment in Kunlun, strict prohibitions were imposed: no bringing outsiders into the mountains without authorization, and no unauthorized descent from the mountains.

This has maintained Kunlun’s complete obscurity to the outside world for millennia, preserving her perpetual mystery.

Sage Yichen: “Yisu, are you aware of the consequences of bringing this boy into the mountains? Let me be clear – if trouble arises, I won’t intervene.”

“I know,” Yisu replied calmly.

Sage Yixiao: “If you know, then why proceed this way?”

Throughout the journey, Sage Yichen and Sage Yixiao kept up their incessant questioning, clearly perplexed by Yisu’s actions.

Based on their mutual understanding, such thankless tasks were universally avoided. Yet Yisu was acting contrary to form, arousing the other two’s suspicions.

Seeing this, Yisu could only smile wryly: “If I said I’m impressed by this youth’s innate foundations, you wouldn’t believe me. Since I know you won’t believe me, why bother with unnecessary explanations?”

Sage Yichen was initially skeptical, but after hearing Yisu’s reason, didn’t probe further.

Sage Yixiao remained suspicious but kept silent, clearly filing away his doubts for later.

Only after the four had crossed a mountain ridge, bypassed the lightning field, and detoured around the Hell Demon Spring… did their figures suddenly vanish without trace among the snow-capped peaks.

This bizarre spectacle would have drawn terrified reactions from any outside witnesses.

In another gray-hazed area, visibility faded into obscurity, the depths remaining unseen. Like the separation of yin and yang at creation’s dawn, ethereal and turbid energies rose and fell, completely veiling the mysteries within.

Yet from this deathly silent world suddenly emerged voices, four figures flickering in the depths.

When they stepped forth, it revealed Ye Kuang and the three sages.

Had this unprecedented world been disclosed to outsiders, it would have caused Earth-Shattering Shock.

This was precisely the Kunlun Secret Realm Entrance, within the dimensional rift.

Though Ye Kuang couldn’t speak or see clearly, he could still hear and perceive everything externally through his celestial vision.

Had he been able to speak, he would surely have cried out in astonishment.

The Kunlun Mountains seemed to be gradually unveiling her true face beneath the veil, not only inspiring awe but also adorned with dozens of luminous rings that transformed the area into a mystically colorful domain.At that very moment, the countless rings of light faintly projected the contours of various worlds—some desolate like dead stars, others teeming with chaotic auras clearly brimming with countless life forces…

When Sage Yisu and the other two cautiously passed several rings of light and reached the depths, they couldn’t help but slow their pace.

Only then could Ye Kuang clearly see the scenes within the rings of light before him, and he was utterly shocked.

Jade palaces and marble halls, pavilions and corridors—all were ancient structures.

Babbling brooks, blue skies, and white clouds—it was like a secluded paradise cut off from the world.

Before he could marvel at the wonder of this place, dozens of figures abruptly appeared before them.

Clad in white robes, they resembled Daoist priests who had traversed time, their hair tied in traditional topknots and holding horsetail whisks, each exuding an air of transcendent elegance.

“Yisu! How dare you collude with outsiders to enter the sacred mountain sanctuary!”

As he spoke, the Old Daoist at the forefront stepped forward, his tone domineering as if he were an enforcer, glaring with bristling beard and eyes.

No sooner had his words faded than he furiously shouted at Sage Yichen and Sage Yixiao: “What are you two waiting for? Seize Yisu at once!”

Sage Yichen, always proud and aloof, could not tolerate such condescension upon hearing this and retorted angrily: “Yiming, do not twist the truth! This youth holds the Kunlun Summons! You—cease your insolence!!”

“Summons?” The Old Daoist addressed as Yiming was momentarily stunned, then acted as if he hadn’t heard, muttering to himself: “Well done, Yichen! You are utterly audacious, daring to deceive us with a summons! What punishment do you deserve?”

With that, Yiming immediately roared in fury: “Guards! Yisu and his companions have colluded with outsiders, plotting against our sacred mountain sanctuary! Arrest them!”

“By your decree!”

“By your decree!”

“By your decree!”

Three responses echoed in succession as three crimson-armored iron giants suddenly rushed out from behind Yiming.

Seeing this, Sage Yixiao finally lost his patience, stepping between the two sides and cursing angrily: “You old fool Yiming! How dare you treat the summons as nothing! You have immense gall!”

At these words, the expressions of the dozens of people around shifted completely.

Everyone present knew the origin of the “summons,” for the so-called summons represented the decree of the Three Sacred Venerables!

Moreover, three had been sent out thirty years ago.

Consider: if what Yixiao said were true, who could bear the consequences of defying the Three Venerables?

Instead, Yiming, noticing the frequent changes in the crowd’s expressions, suddenly rebuked: “Are you fools?! The Kunlun Summons hasn’t appeared in thirty years—how could it appear now? Do not be deceived by these three traitors! I will bear all consequences…”

Before he could finish, Yiming felt compelled to add: “For the safety of the sacred mountain sanctuary, we cannot allow anyone to collude with outsiders! Seize them!!”

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Instantly, the entire scene was engulfed by the fist winds of the three iron giants.

Only then did Ye Kuang realize the terror of these three.

The aura emanating from each was no weaker than that of the Elder.

When such fearsome auras combined, it was far more than a simple one plus one equals two.

In that split second, Sage Yisu didn’t even have a chance to retrieve the “summons,” forced instead to passively withstand the frenzied assaults of the three iron giants.
