Han Fei Zi stood in her lodgings on the mountain belonging to Lake of Colors Tribe. There was a bright light in her eyes as she looked at Han Mountain. She could vaguely see the person who was quietly ringing the ancient bell. That person might be shrouded in fog, but she could already guess that this person might be Mo Su, whom she had been searching for a long time!
"Is it you..?" Han Fei Zi mumbled.
The Elder of Tranquil East Tribe sat at the top of the mountain with a calm expression on his face. His thoughts were unknown. The Chief of War sat beside him, as well as the tribe leader of Tranquil East Tribe, Fang Shen.
The three of them were silent. The lingering sound of the bell chimes still echoed in their ears.
"Is it our guest, Mo Su?" the Elder of Tranquil East Tribe asked slowly. His voice was slightly hoarse.
"I'm not sure. I've already sent someone to take a look," the tribe leader of Tranquil East Tribe answered in a low voice.
The Chief of War hesitated for a moment before he looked at the Elder of Tranquil East Tribe. "Elder, should we send the plate to this person?"
The Elder of Tranquil East Tribe, the old man whose face was covered in wrinkles, closed his eyes. He did not refuse, but neither did he agree.
Several indistinct figures stood at the top of the mountain surrounded by black fog in Puqiang Tribe. They looked in the direction of Han Mountain City. They did not speak to each other. They were all looking into the distance coldly.
Compared to the calmness of the three tribes, when the gigantic shadow of the Dragon Toad appeared in the sky above Han Mountain City that was covered in dark clouds, Han Mountain City was completely shaken. Countless people in Han Mountain City braved the rain and looked at the Dragon Toad in the sky. All of them were shaken to the core, and the bell chimes still echoed in their ears.
"12 chimes. Han Mountain Bell has chimed 12 times. This person … He's so powerful!"
"He already has the right to challenge the Chains of Han Mountain. Now, he's just waiting for the three tribes to send him their plates. Then he can go to the summit of Gazing Mountain and challenge the Chains of Han Mountain!"
"I didn't expect that the bell chime that I thought was just a coincidence would ring 12 times!"
"Who is this person? By the looks of it, he won't stop. How many times can he ring the bell in the end?!"
Figures charged through the fourth layer of Han Mountain and charged towards the entrance to the third layer. At that moment, Fang Lin and the others at the entrance to the third layer were already shaken by the 12 bell chimes. It was especially so for Fang Lin. His mouth was dry and his heart raced against his chest. He had a strong feeling that the person who made the ancient bell chime 12 times was perhaps … the somewhat familiar person he saw just now!
One figure after another arrived and whizzed past Fang Lin toward the stone door. One by one, they disappeared inside. These people who had the right to enter the third floor had only one goal, and that was to see who the person who had rung the ancient bell was!
The owners of the shops in the third layer of Han Mountain City were the first to see Su Ming standing under the ancient bell with his bamboo hat and straw cape. The moment this unfamiliar person entered their eyes, they stopped 1,000 feet away from him.
On the second level, Nan Tian, Xuan Lun, Ke Jiusi, and the others were all standing at the exit of the second level. They knew that the person who had rung the bell twelve times was behind the stone door, but they didn't approach.
"12 chimes, huh..? I heard that in the history of Han Mountain City, there were three people who managed to successfully challenge the Chains of Han Mountain that managed to ring the bell more than 12 times and summoned the sealed beast of Han Mountain!" Nan Tian's gaze fell on the illusionary Dragon Toad in the sky as he spoke languidly.
"Brother Nan, you forgot about someone," Ke Jiu Si, who was standing beside Nan Tian, suddenly said.
The moment he said those words, Nan Tian's expression immediately changed and he no longer spoke. Xuan Lun was not too far away. When he heard those words, he seemed to have remembered something, and his face turned slightly pale.
There were four people in the area, and there was a middle-aged man in green robes standing by their side. That person's attire was strange. The weather in Han Mountain City was hot, even during the rainy season, but this person's attire was incredibly thick. It was as if he still felt cold despite the hot weather.
"Brother Ke, could the person you're talking about be …?" When the middle-aged man in green robes spoke, a wisp of white air came out of his mouth. This was a scene that was clearly different from the others. If anyone saw him, they would immediately recognize that this person had the same status as Nan Tian and the others. He was the fourth Transcended Berserker in Han Mountain City – Leng Ying.
"Si Ma Xin?" Leng Ying asked languidly.
"Brother Leng and brother Yun have only recently arrived in Han Mountain City. Perhaps you don't know this person." Ke Jiu Si cast Leng Ying a glance and nodded.
One of the five Transcended Berserkers in Han Mountain City was Yun Zang, who was also the brother Yun Ke Jiu Si spoke of. This person had isolated himself a month ago to make the final preparations to enter Freezing Sky Clan.
"Si Ma Xin came to Han Mountain City with Freezing Sky Clan and sounded the ancient bell … Most people don't know the details of this. Only the leaders of the three tribes and the three of us know." The person who spoke was Xuan Lun, whose face was slightly pale.
"Oh? Why is it that most people don't know the details of him sounding the bell? All the people in Han Mountain should know the moment the bell chimes, especially someone with Si Ma Xin's status. He'll definitely be remembered. "Leng Ying frowned and looked at Xuan Lun.
Xuan Lun fell silent for a moment. He was just about to speak when another bell chime reverberated in the air once again.
Dong …
Su Ming stood beside the ancient bell. His expression remained calm, but his eyes, which were hidden under the bamboo hat, shone with an even brighter light. The rebound from the ancient bell crashed into his body, and he saw the crowd charging towards him from 1,000 feet away. He also saw more people rushing towards him from further away.
Gazes pierced through the rain and gathered on his body.
'Twelve bell chimes only shook Han Mountain City … and the three tribes still haven't changed much …' Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the Dragon Toad that appeared in the clouds in the sky. Besides letting out a roar when the illusion of the beast appeared, it was like a dead creature. It floated in midair and did not move, but there was a faint pressure coming from its body.
'This doesn't fit into my plan. Looks like these twelve bell chimes aren't enough to create the shock I want. Then …' Su Ming lifted his right hand. This time, he did not slap the bell. Instead, he punched the gigantic ancient bell.
The moment his fist landed, the thirteenth bell chime reverberated in the air and turned into invisible ripples that spread outwards. Those ripples could originally not be seen, but in the rain, the raindrops gathered together and turned into a gigantic ring that rapidly spread outwards. That ring spread outwards as if there was a huge gust of wind contained within it. It stirred up the wind and rain, turning into a howl that was hidden under the bell chimes. All those who were touched by the ripples had their clothes and hair fluttering in the wind.
At the same time, when the thirteenth bell chime still lingered in the air, Su Ming lifted his fist and punched once again. This time, he threw four punches in a row!
'If it's not enough, then it's enough!' The straw cape on Su Ming's body let out a ripping sound and was torn to shreds, revealing the black robe underneath. However, the bamboo hat on his head did not change in the slightest. It still covered his face.
Dong, dong, dong, dong. The bell chimes shook the sky and earth. The four consecutive bell chimes turned into four ring-shaped ripples that spread outwards, causing the world where Su Ming was to look like water, and he was at the center of the ripples!
Han Mountain trembled. Countless mountain rocks fell, and the ground seemed to be trembling. As the ripples spread outwards, the crowd 1,000 feet away retreated with drastic changes in their expressions.
At that moment, a muffled roar came from the sky. Intelligence seemed to have appeared in the Dragon Toad's eyes and it started moving. Its gigantic body circled around Han Mountain City a few times, causing some of the dark clouds in the sky to disappear. The roar that came out of its mouth shook the ground, and it was so loud that it was almost deafening to all those who heard it.
A brilliant glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and he hurled his fist forward once again.
The moment his fist touched the ancient bell, the eighteenth bell chime rang. The moment the bell chime appeared, the Dragon Toad's roar reached its peak. Its body trembled, and right before the people's eyes, it disappeared without a trace. Yet the moment it disappeared, a piercing roar came from the air in the sky.
Along with the roar was an indescribable mountain in the sky. The size of the mountain surpassed Han Mountain, and it surpassed all the mountains Su Ming had ever seen in his memories.
The mountain covered the sky and earth. It appeared as an illusion in midair. The top of the mountain could not be seen. The only thing that could be seen was a gigantic turtle supporting the mountain with its back at the foot of the mountain that looked like the sky!
The turtle looked incredibly ferocious. Its face was contorted, and there was a picture of the face of a malicious spirit on it!
The turtle was the same as the ghost!
Han Mountain Bell, Han Mountain's second sealed beast!
All the people who saw this in Han Mountain City felt their breathing quicken. The things that happened in the morning shocked them to the core. It could even be said that they had never seen such a scene in the morning before.
To challenge the Chains of Han Mountain, the ancient bell had to be rung, but to many people, this chime was the first hurdle. Nine chimes was the limit. Yet now, they heard the bell chime 18 times and saw the rumored Han Mountain's sealed beast appear in the sky with their own eyes!
"Alpine Dark Turtle!"
"It's said that Han Mountain Bell didn't belong to Han Mountain Tribe … When the bell chimes, strange things will appear!"
"I've been in Han Mountain City for many years. I've heard people talk about Han Mountain Bell before. There are three ferocious beasts carved on the surface of the bell, but only two of them are clear. The last one is indistinct. Even now … few people know what the third ferocious beast is."
"This person is unfamiliar, but he must be in the Transcendence Realm, or else he wouldn't have been able to ring the bell 18 times!"
"18 times … Look at him, he's clearly relaxed … Look, someone from the three tribes is here. It's Lake of Colors Tribe!" The crowd burst into an uproar as they discussed among themselves in shock. Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise. A figure charged towards them from the mountain belonging to Lake of Colors Tribe. The person who came was an old man. He approached them through the air, and even though his expression was calm, the shock in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Who are you, the one who rang the bell?! Do you know the consequences of sounding the bell?!" The old man stood in midair and his voice traveled forth like thunder. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
