Chapter 304 – Accompanying Them to Longhu Mountain

Just as Ling Yun was about to accompany them, three officers blocked his path. Unable to restrain himself, he demanded, “What exactly do you want?”

Hearing this, the Tiger Warrior turned and gave a meaningful glance.

The three officers understood immediately and simultaneously launched their attacks.

“Damn it…” Ling Yun cursed under his breath, then without hesitation activated the “Myriad Tribulations Second Level Supreme Organs Body”!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, violent energies erupted from both sides. Even the ground beneath them couldn’t withstand the impact, fracturing into a dense, crisscrossing web of cracks that looked rather alarming.

Unexpectedly, despite his flushed face, Ling Yun forcibly swallowed the blood rising in his throat and unleashed a shocking wave of energy.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, Vigorous Qi surged like raging waves, clashing once more and stirring up a storm of dust and debris.

The three officers were sent sliding back by the impact, carving six deep grooves in the ground as they were pushed back several yards.

Just as they prepared to attack again, a sharp rebuke came from behind: “Enough.”

It was the Tiger Warrior.

Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn’t contain his fury. “You attack when you feel like it and stop when you don’t? Do you think I’m made of clay?”

As he spoke, Ling Yun shot through the air like a phantom, tearing through the atmosphere with explosive speed.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Kuang moved simultaneously!

Bang!

A thunderous crack echoed through the air, deafening to the ears.

Ye Kuang and Ling Yun collided head-on, both forced to retreat several steps from the impact.

Ling Yun: “Brother Ye, what are you doing?”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang’s expression turned grim. “Don’t resort to violence. This isn’t the martial world.”

His words cast a chilling silence over the scene, as if an icy gust had swept through.

Witnessing this, the Tiger Warrior’s eyes sharpened. He coldly stated, “A martial artist of the martial world, Ling Yun. Orphaned and adopted by the Xiao Yin Sect at age one, began martial training at ten, made a name for himself at twenty upon leaving the mountains, reached the peak of emptiness at twenty-eight… yet lost all his power in the Xingyi Sect conflict…”

At this point, the Tiger Warrior sighed inexplicably. “But who would have thought you could not only return to your peak but surpass it? It seems we’ve all underestimated the martial world.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but feel a chill.

Only now did he realize that nothing remains hidden forever. Uncovering someone’s secrets was easier than crushing an ant.

This served as a stark warning, like a blade hanging overhead, reminding people not to overestimate their own cleverness.

Ling Yun: “You…”

As he spoke, Ling Yun was visibly shaken.

Noticing this, the Tiger Warrior glanced at Ye Kuang, his eyes conveying a similar sentiment.

Ye Kuang: “Why are you looking at me? I’m a law-abiding citizen.”

Ling Yun: “…”

The Tiger Warrior couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re even more shameless than I imagined.”

Ye Kuang remained unbothered, smiling faintly. “What good is pride? Isn’t it better to live freely? Life is like that—if I had to live under others’ scornful gazes, I’d rather be true to myself.”

Tiger Warrior: “…”

Meanwhile, Ling Yun watched the exchange and found himself smiling inexplicably too.One could say that rather than Ling Yun coming to repay a favor, it might be more accurate to say that someone’s genuine nature inexplicably drew him in.

As for this reasoning, the Tiger Warrior naturally understood as well, and he sighed before saying, “Alright, the team leader has ordered us to invite you to come with us. As for this guy, he’s not on the invitation list.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger Warrior inexplicably glanced at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun: “On what grounds?”

Tiger Warrior: “On what grounds? On the grounds that the very soil beneath your feet is the king’s land. Have you forgotten whose blood was shed to secure this land?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but spread his hands and then stepped in to mediate, saying slowly, “That’s only right. Brother Ling Yun, please find Pang Hu and the others. I’ll come looking for you in a few days.”

As his words fell, he then took out a flying business card from his sleeve and handed it over.

Seeing this, the Tiger Warrior didn’t question it further and simply said decisively, “Take him away!”

It must be said that the Tiger Warrior acted with swift efficiency. No sooner had the words left his mouth than several green-painted metal vehicles pulled up.

Watching everyone get into the vehicles one by one, Ling Yun could only stare helplessly at the business card in his hand…

Meanwhile.

Thousands of peaks stood tall, vying for beauty. The mountains and rivers remained as they were, enchanting for miles around. Countless ravines surged forward without turning back, and the towering waterfalls showcased the majesty of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Along the way, five green off-road vehicles drove straight in, and no one dared to cause trouble at the checkpoints.

Ye Kuang felt as if he were experiencing royal treatment.

Little did he know, he was already exhausted enough to fall asleep and ended up dozing off until they reached their destination.

He didn’t even know when he had fallen asleep again.

After getting out of the vehicle, he was greeted by a picturesque landscape.

Ye Kuang couldn’t help but stretch and let out an inexplicable sigh: “A treasured sword falls into the Deep Pool, revealing its strange glow from time to time. Scales and armor soar to the heavens, bringing swift wind and rain in broad daylight.”

Thinking of this, he silently gave a thumbs-up to the ancient sage Gong Shitai.

Hearing this, the Tiger Warrior couldn’t resist teasing, “I didn’t realize you’d learned so much.”

“What do you know? This is called cultural refinement,” Ye Kuang retorted immediately. “Through constant exposure, one naturally resonates with it. You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it, so don’t pretend otherwise.”

Tiger Warrior: “…”

Seeing this, Ye Kuang took a deep breath.

It’s worth mentioning that the mountain’s climate was pleasant, and the air was rich with moisture. Taking a deep breath, one could taste the essence of the land, leaving one feeling refreshed and invigorated.

At that moment, they stood before a certain Taoist temple.

At a glance, neighboring temples were too numerous to count, and it wasn’t hard to see that they stood like ancient Taoist priests, perched on the mountain slopes, silently observing the human affairs and changes over the centuries.

Who hasn’t seen the world united under the same sky, like the bright moon shining overhead?

This was none other than Dragon Tiger Mountain!

Ye Kuang couldn’t help but wonder why the literati and poets of ancient times had assigned so many labels to this mountain.

Like a deity, its appearance rivaled the passage of millennia, yet “she” still stood out uniquely among the forests.

It could be called a place of clear waters and lush mountains, standing firm and independent.

The Tiger Warrior suddenly spoke gravely, “Follow me, and don’t let your eyes wander.”

As he spoke, he turned to the dozens of officers behind him and said, “Five of you, come with us. The rest, disperse.”

It must be said that these officers were highly efficient. Without needing to be called by name, five of them stepped forward calmly.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Kuang noticed something: these five were actually the strongest among them.

Tiger Warrior: “After you.”

Ye Kuang: “Naturally.”As soon as these words fell, his figure truly moved like a sudden gust of wind, charging forward abruptly.

Seeing this, Tiger Warrior couldn’t help but shout: “Follow him!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
