Chapter 1904

~7 min read 1,230 words

Mulong Wenyi's arrival made the interior of the Mangshan Mountain Range even livelier; a group of the Mulong Family followed him in, entering the Mangshan Mountain Range. This group of Mulong Family members were practically already dead, or else they had come prepared mentally. They clearly knew what would happen upon coming here; once they set foot in this place, they could never… go back.

Those people came only after making their resolve; for the family, for the future, for their children, they had to do this. Having enjoyed the family's offerings for so long, it was now their turn to contribute. Each of these people was extremely dangerous; some, after entering, immediately began hiding, while others started adjusting their breath in preparation for the upcoming battle.

This is unlike anything seen when the Mulong Family previously invaded the Mangshan Mountain Range—there was never such a commotion, nor such desperate effort. It shows that the Mulong Family places great importance on this battle and fully understands what price must be paid.

This group is merely the first batch; more will follow. Elder Minghu observed this with great satisfaction. While the Mulong Family may not be impressive in other respects, in this regard they truly will fight to the death—these fanatics will do anything for the family.

Something no one else could accomplish, nor could it be matched.

The Heavenly Heart Sect also sent many people, just like the Mulong Family; those individuals came to sacrifice, offering their lives in exchange for the life of the Kunpeng Guardian, which is truly worthwhile.

"Mulong Wenyi, the Mulong Family places great importance on this battle and has sent many people." Elder Minghu couldn't help but sigh: "These are people who willingly give themselves for the family; the Family and Faction treat them well, which is why they choose to do so."

Whether it is the Mulong Family or the Heavenly Heart Sect, each has its own batch of loyal disciples; those people are their treasures, as well as their foundation and future.

"We can't compare to your Heavenly Heart Sect; you also sent many people this time—so many old immortals—it's clear your Heavenly Heart Sect is also going all out." Mulong Wenyi couldn't help but sigh: "They are fully aware of one thing: we must kill the Kunpeng Guardian, no matter the cost, even if we have to sacrifice greatly; we absolutely cannot let him leave alive, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

The deterrent power the Kunpeng Guardian brings is too great; killing him would bring enormous benefits to them. If he were allowed to return alive, both the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Mulong Family would be in extreme danger—consequences they could not bear.

"Each to their own, we are doing this for our respective factions. For this occasion, my Heavenly Heart Sect has paid a great price and must kill the Kunpeng Guardian." Elder Minghu lowered his head and said: "To kill him, the Heavenly Heart Sect would spare no expense, no matter how great the cost."

"Mulong Wenyi, you shouldn't have come to this battle."

He clearly understands Mulong Wenyi's value and knows he is the future of the Mulong Family; if he dies, the Mulong Family will truly decline.

Other clansmen may die, but Mulong Wenyi must not die; how could Mulong Tian do such a thing—is he not afraid?

Mulong Wenyi heard this, looked surprised at Elder Minghu, clasped his hands and smiled: "This is my demand; the Family Head cannot refuse, so he can only agree to my request."

"This battle concerns the future of my Mulong Family; as the future of the Mulong Family, how could I shrink back? This is not my style, and I don't want to hide in the rear like a timid turtle."

"Either the Kunpeng Guardian dies, or we all perish together—there is no third option."

He had made his resolve; at worst, he would die here—it's no big deal.

Elder Minghu heard this, his heart deeply shaken; after a moment, he gave Mulong Wenyi a thumbs-up: "Your resolve is exceptionally high; if the disciples of my Heavenly Heart Sect had such resolve, what would we have to fear from the Myriad Demon Hall?"

"Although the Myriad Demon Hall is said to be very powerful, they are ultimately demon beasts with slow growth; humans have many advantages, and surpassing them is merely a matter of time."

"Whether it's the Heavenly Heart Sect or the Mulong Family, if we had a few more talents like you, we would have already destroyed the Myriad Demon Hall."

Mulong Wenyi gave a bitter smile: "Too bad, there isn't even one."

"Being human, everyone fears death; those who don't fear death are already dead."

"Elder Minghu, will you also stay here to fight this time?"

Elder Minghu nodded and said: "Not bad; as the Elder in charge of coordinating all this, I naturally cannot leave or retreat."

"As Elder, I share your resolve to kill the Kunpeng Guardian, inflict heavy damage on the Myriad Demon Hall, and make them stop underestimating us."

"Previous operations all failed; this time, the Elder will personally take action, making failure impossible."

If not successful, then become benevolent.

They have steeled themselves; either they return alive, or they die here.

Mulong Wenyi's gaze turned respectful; such a person deserves his respect. Although Elder Minghu's cultivation is not impressive, this alone is enough to earn his respect.

"Each to their own."

Their gazes met, and each held the same determination.

Over the next two days, they were making arrangements, setting up the Formation, and at the same time concealing their presence.

These things are useless in the eyes of a Strong One, but still one ought to disguise them a bit and show the respect that is due.

All of this was observed by Ban Biluochun; he narrowed his eyes and watched everything.

"The Heavenly Heart Sect and the Mulong Family have both sent many people; it seems they have resolved to kill the Kunpeng Guardian, and moreover, the forces behind them have been harshly oppressed by the Myriad Demon Hall, so they must kill the Kunpeng Guardian to catch a breath."

The Qing Tian Sect is somewhat better; being farther away, it faces fewer attacks, but there are still some.

It is not as obvious as the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Mulong Family, nor is it as miserable.

In terms of hatred, there is no shortage.

"Senior Brother, should we go out and meet them? They have sent people over; we represent the Qing Tian Sect in coming here, and we cannot lose face for our sect." Yi MengHan proposed.

He did not want to stay here any longer; at the very least he wanted them to know the Qing Tian Sect takes this matter seriously, without fear or retreat.

"Junior Brother, go ahead; Senior Brother will wait for you here." Biluochun did not want to go out, nor did he want to reveal his presence so soon; as for the sect's mission, he would attend to it later.

"Senior Brother, you're not coming with me?"

"No."

"But..."

"Yi MengHan, Junior Brother, Senior Brother believes you can handle everything." Biluochun patted his shoulder and said earnestly.

"All right, Senior Brother, I'll leave it to you, Junior Brother." Yi MengHan heard this, was invigorated, and immediately took charge of everything.
