Chapter 160: Chapter 161 Nine Army Tomb Mountain

Translator: 549690339

“Zhu Minglang?”

At this moment, at the foot of the hillside, Wen Mengru, a female disciple of Miao Mountain Sword Sect with extremely good hearing, also turned around, lifting her gaze to focus on the white-robed man atop the slope.

“You two deal with these Divine and Mortal wastes,” Wen Mengru instructed the two female sword masters beside her.

“Yes, Senior Sister” the short-haired female disciple responded.

“Is that person really Zhu Minglang, the young sword master who once forced his way into our mountain gate?” another female disciple of Miao Mountain Sword Sect asked in a hushed tone.

“It seems to be him. I heard that Senior Sister lost to him back then,” said the short-haired female.

Wen Mengru’s hearing was exceptionally strong, so naturally, she heard her junior sisters’ conversation, adding a few degrees of bitterness to her heart!

Back then, Wen Mengru was only sixteen or seventeen when she encountered the audacious youth who sought to barge into Miao Mountain Sword Sect.

After some questioning, she learned that he was a disciple sent out from Yaoshan Sword Sect, specifically traveling thousands of miles to challenge their Miao Mountain Sword Sect.

Everyone knew there were two major Sect Woods among the sword sects: Yaoshan Sword Sect and Miao Mountain Sword Sect!

People often compared Yaoshan Sword Sect to Miao Mountain Sword Sect, curious about which faction had the most powerful sword cultivators.

As a female disciple of Miao Mountain Sword Sect, Wen Mengru certainly knew about Yaoshan Sword Sect and had long wanted to see for herself what made this sect, as renowned as their own but with whom they had never crossed swords, so exceptional.

The battle took place right at the sect’s gate.

At the time, Wen Mengru was hailed as Miao Mountain Sword Sect’s number one prodigy, and she was about the same age as the provocative Yaoshan Sword Sect youth.

She didn’t even withstand Zhu Minglang’s three moves.

Zhu Minglang advanced through their mountain gate, challenging and battling disciples and some uncles alike, almost reaching the threshold of the estate before finally being defeated by Wen Mengru’s older sister, Wen Lingfei.

But Wen Lingfei was no longer just a disciple, she was even a teacher who taught the disciples swordmanship.

Zhu Minglang ultimately lost.

Yet, he had brought shame to all the disciples of Miao Mountain Sword Sect.

He alone defeated all their female disciples!

Wen Mengru walked up the slope, her eyes hinting at an icy chill.

“Where is your sword?” Wen Mengru demanded.

Looking at Zhu Minglang, she noticed that he did not have a sword on him.

A sword cultivator without a sword.

“I am now a Dragon Shepherd,” Zhu Minglang revealed with a friendly smile.

When she first arrived in the Imperial City, Wen Mengru had inquired about Zhu Minglang of Zhu Gate.

One could say, her visit to the Imperial City this time was not just to establish prestige for Miao Mountain Sword Sect, but more importantly to experience Zhu Minglang’s sword territory again.

But Wen Mengru had already received the news.

Zhu Minglang no longer practiced swordsmanship and had participated in the grand competition as a Dragon Shepherd.

This greatly disappointed Wen Mengru!

“You are no longer a match for me,” Wen Mengru declared.

The cultivation base Zhu Minglang showed was not high.

Wen Mengru could sense this.

She sheathed her sword and, confirming that Zhu Minglang no longer possessed any sword cultivation level, turned and walked toward the depths of the Nine Army Cemetery.

“Do you recognize her?” Nan Lingsha asked, watching Wen Mengru’s receding figure.

“Miss need not misunderstand. After the young master left the mountain back then, he defeated all the geniuses from every major power. This Chief First Female Disciple of Miao Mountain Sword Sect was also one of the young master’s former defeated rivals,” Qin Yang hastened to explain earnestly on behalf of Zhu Minglang.

For some reason, Zhu Minglang felt Qin Yang’s explanation was superfluous.

Firstly, Nan Lingsha’s question wasn’t because she thought this woman had something to do with him, but clearly because she was quite interested in such a Divine and Mortal of exceptional strength, especially since the other party was also a woman!

Secondly, Zhu Minglang didn’t remember who this woman was.

Back when he challenged Miao Mountain Sword Sect, he only remembered a very beautiful elder sister who had taught him a lesson. Her sword territory was probably comparable to that of Zhu Xuehen.

In terms of looks the girl just now did bear some resemblance to that fierce swordswoman.

“Can you handle her? Miao Mountain Sword Sect is also our adversary in this competition,” Zhu Minglang inquired.

Nan Lingsha did not respond, but the luster flickering in her beautiful eyes had already given Zhu Minglang the answer.

It seemed only these Divine and Mortal of the Monarch Level could genuinely pique her interest.

Meanwhile, Fu Xumei touched his nose, feeling as though he was becoming an insignificant extra in the presence of these individuals

Since there was no intention to clash now, he felt no urgency.

He made his way down the hillside, passing through a crowd of Divine and Mortal who had been scattered by the female disciples of Miao Mountain Sword Sect.

The two female disciples of Miao Mountain Sword Sect seemed to want to take down Fu Xumei as well, but he didn’t entangle with them and easily evaded the two women who attacked everyone they saw, heading deeper into the Nine Army Cemetery.

Zhu Minglang, Nan Lingsha, and Qin Yang also moved forward.

Interestingly, the two female disciples recognized Zhu Minglang; they gripped their swords as if facing a formidable enemy!

It was only after Zhu Minglang passed by them, showing no intention of harming them, that they took a long breath of relief.

Moments later, the woman with short hair suddenly remembered something and said, “Since he no longer has his swordsmanship, what do we have to fear from him?”

“Right, then will you chase after him?”

“Forget it, forget it, let’s not enter the mountain. Those who are entering now are all the top disciples!”

It wasn’t just the Miao Mountain Sword Sect; the Purple Sect Clan, Wu Sect Forest, Pu Clan, Zhao Clan, Ancient Dragon Palace

All these great powers had sent some disciples, just like the two women from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, to stand guard at the entrance of the General Statue.

They directly prohibited those from various lesser sects from entering the Nine Army Cemetery to prevent any chance of them seizing the purple and purple-red brocade boxes amidst the chaos.

It was not that they could not defeat these people; rather, they were worried that if they grabbed the brocade boxes and fled, it would waste everyone else’s time.

The great powers, as if by agreement, weaved a net at the entrance of the Nine Army Cemetery, blocking the average disciples from entering!

The Nine Army Tomb Mountain continued to grow taller, turning the slopes into lower ground. Those who had already entered were making their way to the highest point, where the Army Mountain Mausoleum was located!

The mausoleum was enormous, with no scattered tombstones around, only one tall and sturdy General Statue after another and boulders larger than houses.

Zhu Minglang was well aware that the authority token for the Li Chuan Continent must be contained within a purple-red brocade box.

And within the entire city of mechanisms, there were only a few purple-red brocade boxes. One of them was now being firmly clutched in the hand of the General Statue atop the mausoleum. As long as one climbed to the top of the highest Tomb Mountain and looked up, they could see the purple-red brocade box!

Beyond this, on top of the surrounding General Statues, there were also blue and purple brocade boxes. They were not hidden deeply, displayed as if they were exhibits.

However, taking these brocade boxes was not an easy task.

Because as soon as a brocade box was removed from these General Statues, the statues would come to life and relentlessly pursue whoever took the box

Therefore, these disciples who came to the Army Mountain Mausoleum not only had to face the competition from others but also had to deal with these formidable mechanical statues!

“Zhu Minglang!!”

An angry voice came through, the man’s eyes glaring at Zhu Minglang, filled with what seemed like a vendetta.

It was Xu Mao from the Purple Sect Clan.

By his side were the members of the Yellow Youth Gang, not only Zhao Xi but also a wooden-looking young man clad in the attire of the Royal Family’s Prohibition Guard, seemingly a powerful follower always at Zhao Yin Ge’s side.

At a high place on the city tower, where the Royal Family’s seats were, Zhao Yin Ge’s eyes were wide open, his pupils revealing an uncontrollable excitement!

They finally collided!

Although it was much later than he expected, as long as Zhu Minglang didn’t hide, his assassin was sure to make Zhu Minglang disappear from this world forever!

“My Princely Heir, by sending Poison Crow into this city of mechanisms, are you not being a bit too obvious?” Madame Zhao asked softly.

Everyone knew that Poisonous Pigeon was a guard by Zhao Yin Ge’s side.

If Poisonous Pigeon truly killed Zhu Minglang, Zhao Yin Ge would certainly be questioned. Zhu Heavenly Officer would not easily let him go, even if he was from the Royal Family!

“It is now Zhu Minglang who wants to fight me, not the other way around. Since the Imperial Uncle has decided to pressure Zhu Gate, hoping for Zhu Heavenly Officer to lash out, what could be more direct than Zhu Minglang’s untimely death? In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are necessary. Are we, the Royal Family, to fear a Zhu Gate?” Zhao Yin Ge said coldly.

The order had been given, and no matter what, Poisonous Pigeon would make an attempt on Zhu Minglang’s life.

How could Zhu Minglang not die to justify this broken body of his?

He was the Princely Heir of the Royal Family!

His limbs had been severed; under normal circumstances, it could even lead to the extermination of the Nine Tribes!

Why should Zhu Minglang be merely exiled for three years?

Not to mention, here he was, standing lively before him, humiliating him at every chance!

“This Zhu Minglang truly scorns everyone; his death would be well deserved,” Madame Zhao remarked coldly.

“Besides Poisonous Pigeon, our Royal Family has two other experts. They are both in the Nine Army Tomb Mountain, and I have already instructed them”

“Are you referring to brothers Zhao Chen and Zhao Wu? Both are Monarch Level Dragon Shepherds who have entered the Dragon Country of Clouds!” Madam Zhao Qin exclaimed with delight.

With these two mighty members of the Royal Family present, Zhu Minglang would have a hard time escaping!

Indeed, even if the authority over Li Chuan Continent was lost, Zhu Heavenly Officer would not go mad, nor would he directly mobilize the army.

It was Zhu Minglang, on the other hand

If anything happened to him, Zhu Heavenly Officer would surely lose his rationality.

The moment Zhu Heavenly Officer mobilized the Black Armor Army of Pei Country, he would lead this valiant army to its downfall!

Once this army was gone, the vast businesses of Zhu Gate would struggle to stand, inevitably allowing the great powers to carve them up. The Royal Family could even directly take Zhu Gate as a vassal, making Zhu Gate serve the Royal Family’s cause for a thousand generations!

“I probed the Imperial Uncle, and he tacitly approved of my actions,” Zhao Yin Ge said.

“He too hopes to completely crush Zhu Gate this time around!”

“Actually, I rather hope Zhu Minglang survives to see his Family Door slowly becoming a vassal to our Royal Family, tasting the bitterness of humiliation himself!” Zhao Yin Ge remarked.
