Chapter 270 – A Single Stone Creates a Thousand Waves

As Ye Kuang turned around, his face was visibly contorted with fury.

This expression thoroughly terrified Yun Mengshu and the other five women.

“All of you, return first. We’ll discuss other matters after I retrieve the person I’m looking for.” As soon as Ye Kuang finished speaking, he vanished into the vast mountains with the old demon in tow.

Only then did Yun Mengshu and the others regain their composure, exchanging uneasy glances.

“This is bad. He might not return from this trip.”

“Junior Sisters, you should go back and report to the Venerable One. I… I’ll go find him and bring him back.”

“Eldest Senior Sister, have you gone mad? Going now would only complicate things.”

Hearing this, Yun Mengshu’s face paled, but she resolutely declared, “That bastard saved my innocence. At worst, I’ll die—consider it my repayment to him.”

With those words, Yun Mengshu’s stubborn figure also disappeared from the women’s sight.

Silence!

The scene fell into utter stillness.

But it was soon broken by several sharp exclamations, each carrying their usual ruthless tone.

“I’m done holding back! Those bastards tried to defile us earlier—it’s time they learned how it feels to have their legs broken.”

“Second Senior Sister, what are you saying? You don’t mean to…”

“Second Senior Sister is right! That’s exactly what we should do!”

This was a perfect example of how “a girl changes eighteen times growing up” isn’t just about physical development. When it comes to ruthlessness, even the most merciless of men might pale in comparison.

Meanwhile, in front of a thatched hut on Buzhou Mountain.

“What did you say? That kid actually pummeled a Dao Inquiry old demon to death with wild punches?”

“Two Venerables, this is absolutely true. We saw it with our own eyes. And… the direction he headed in might be toward Wuji Mountain!”

“Hiss! Excellent! Excellent! Hahaha! Heaven has not abandoned our Kunlun! In that case, why don’t we seize this momentum and begin our counterattack?”

Little did they know, the storm was only just beginning.

As forces from the east, south, west, and center arrived at Buzhou Mountain, their momentary shock quickly turned into raging fury.

“Who the hell did this? Have they no humanity? They seem even more vicious than us. Killing is one thing, but what’s the meaning behind these mutilated bodies…”

“Utterly despicable! If I find out who they are, I’ll make them wish they were dead, then boil their remains into oil for sky lanterns!”

“Sigh… Send some people to bury them here. We launch a collective assault on the mountain tomorrow at dawn!”

Regardless of how uncontrollable the anger on the scene became, it was clear that the Kunlun Secret Realm was about to face an unprecedented tidal wave of conflict.

As for Ye Kuang—

Had he not forcibly clung to the last thread of life in Wentian Old Demon, the latter would have met his end right then and there.

Though Ye Kuang himself didn’t understand why he had become so ferocious, he deeply understood one thing: if even one person who treated him kindly in this world were lost, the future would grow a shade grayer.

It was akin to asking not to whom the rivers and mountains would return—armed with nothing but fervor to shine upon the bright moon, if his heart was troubled, why not rise with clenched fists to carve out a different world?

Undeniably, Ye Kuang’s principles had shifted from this point onward. Those who dared touch his reverse scale would be made to regret their misguided decisions!

Even if it meant becoming ruthless and merciless, what did it matter in the grand scheme of the martial world’s vast expanse?”Brat… A dying man’s words are sincere, so I must give you a warning. No matter how vast the mountains and rivers, no one can withstand the might of our Divine Sect’s iron hooves.”

“To hell with your damned Divine Sect! I’m determined to defy the heavens. Anyone who dares lay a finger on my sister will regret ever being born!”

As Ye Kuang spoke, he couldn’t help but channel another surge of True Qi.

Instantly, the mountain forest scenery blurred past their vision, giving testament to their astonishing speed.

Worth mentioning was the distant Wuji Mountain, which appeared more magnificent than its name suggested.

Visually estimated to be no more than fifty zhang tall, it rather resembled rolling hills.

From above, they stood like three towering giants, perfectly embodying the harmony of heaven, earth, and humanity, subtly reflecting the profound mysteries of the Zhouyi Bagua formation.

Arriving at the foot of Wuji Mountain, Ye Kuang’s gaze shot straight toward the peak.

He couldn’t help but recall his previous visit years ago, though it had likely changed beyond recognition now.

But with him here, Kunlun would not descend into chaos!

This thought ignited in him a heart that feared nothing under heaven.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, as Ye Kuang stepped onto the stone steps, waves of dizziness assaulted him, making him stagger like a drunken man.

Yet even so, how could such trivialities hinder one whose divine arts had reached completion?

He slowly closed his eyes.

Invisible to the naked eye, a strand of essence, energy, and spirit shot skyward with explosive force.

This was truly the boldness of exceptional skill – such daring was completely on par with the Sword Sage of legend.

And such commotion could never escape the notice of those atop Wuji Mountain Peak.

“Audacity!”

“Who goes there?”

“Enemy attack!”

Clang clang clang!!!

In an instant, the entire mountain transformed from stagnant silence to vibrant alertness, like a stone creating thousand-layer waves or two fingers plucking myriad melodies.

Weapons were drawn in succession, their gleaming edges connecting to tear across the sky, shattering the evening tranquility of the hills.

But then, a golden flash condensed into a human form, hovering silently in mid-air.

It was Ye Kuang’s manifested spirit!

Simultaneously, countless blades and sword shadows came sweeping toward him…

Yet astonishingly, when these weapons passed through Ye Kuang’s form, they all returned having accomplished nothing.

This immediately provoked several terrifying auras and sharp whistles.

“Where did this wild brat come from? Daring to project his spirit before even forming his Primordial Spirit – you’re seeking death!”

“Well now, who do we have here? Just a fledgling who hasn’t even grown his feathers. Hahaha… amusing, truly amusing.”

“Ah… let’s not put it that way. Just the courage to come here and die deserves some applause.”

As these words fell, three old men emerged from the main hall ahead.

Their blue, black, and green robes flapped sharply in the wind, their entire beings radiating intimidating presence.

Had it not been for their mocking tones, one might have called them transcendent immortals with celestial grace.

Ye Kuang moved at the sound, his gaze shifting before suddenly exploding into action.

From his lip movements, one could clearly read: “Myriad Tribulations Undying, Earth-Shattering Shock!”

Buzz buzz buzz!

Three consecutive punches carried mountain-lifting force, golden light blooming and intertwining until the very air hummed and clanged with deafening resonance.

“Seeking death.”

“Arrogant fool!””Young fool, how dare you!”

Little did they know, in the blink of an eye!

As the four collided forcefully, golden light and Dark Radiance shot wildly across the sky like fleeting illusions, forming a shimmering mirage.

At times transforming into soaring dragons and leaping tigers, at others morphing into dancing serpents, yet without exception, the energies from both sides surged and receded freely, containing the power to pierce metal and shatter stone.

Hiss-BOOM!

Hiss-BOOM!

Hiss-BOOM!

Three deafening explosions followed, striking like thunder from a clear sky, shaking all the intruders present to their core.
