"He failed!"
"If he failed in the seventh section, it's the same as death. He … won't be able to survive!"
"The seventh section … the seventh section … this section is so dangerous. I don't even know why he did this. Based on his performance in the sixth section, he shouldn't have ended up like this."
The sounds of discussion rose into the air. Almost everyone stood up. Nan Tian and the others sucked in a deep breath with disbelief on their faces.
"The seventh section of the Chain may be difficult, but … he might be able to fight against Sir Si Ma for the ancient bell, but he … failed just like that?"
"I know that there's something strange about the seventh section, but I don't know the details. Just what did this person experience in the seventh section …"
The discussions continued and the crowd burst into an uproar. Under the crowd's gazes, Su Ming's foot that missed did not land on the Chain Mountain, but landed by the side. His body tilted and he fell headfirst!
This scene stirred up an even stronger wave of shock and cries of surprise. Nan Tian and the other three did not hesitate and flew up to look from midair.
Under the roof of the second layer of Han Mountain City, Han Fei Zi's face turned pale under the veil. She did not move, but stood there and looked into the distance with a dumbfounded expression.
'It doesn't matter whether he's Mo Su or not. If he fails in the seventh section, no one can save him …' Han Fei Zi lowered her head and closed her eyes.
At the same time, the old woman widened her eyes on Lake of Colors Mountain. By her side, Yan Luan was momentarily stunned before disbelief appeared on her face. This scene was too sudden. They had not expected it at all.
"This … This is …" Yan Luan did not know what to say for a moment. She was completely stunned.
"It's a pity … Hmm?" The old woman sighed softly and turned around, intending to leave. The entire day's worth of attention had made her incredibly tired. Yet the moment she was about to leave, she swept her gaze past Han Mountain City through the corner of her eye and suddenly froze.
Her gaze swept past the place where Han Mountain Bell was. Not a single change could be detected on the bell. It still stood there quietly.
The moment Su Ming missed his foot and fell from the seventh section of the Chain, besides Lake of Colors Mountain, a shocking change also happened on Tranquil East Mountain.
For the first time, the Elder of Tranquil East stood up and took a few brisk steps to the edge of the mountain to look. He sucked in a deep breath and his eyes sparkled with shock.
"With his level of cultivation, even if he couldn't make it past the seventh chain, there's no way he would fail just like that … this … he's someone who's extremely similar to Si Ma Xin. How could he die just like that?"
Fang Shen's face was pale. From the moment he recognized Mo Su as the challenger of the Chains of Han Mountain, he had been nervous. He was not worried about Su Ming's survival, but about his son's injuries.
When he saw Su Ming falling from the Chain, Fang Shen swayed and took a few steps back. He knew that Mo Su was definitely going to die. No one could survive if they fell from the seventh section of the Chain.
Han Cang Zi bit her lower lip as confusion appeared in her eyes. But almost as soon as this confusion appeared, it immediately turned into determination.
"He won't die!"
At that moment, due to the shocking sight of Su Ming's fall, even the man who looked like a mountain of flesh stood up on Puqiang Mountain. Everyone, including the Elder of Puqiang Tribe, instinctively took a few steps forward and went to the edge of the mountain to look down.
They could vaguely see Su Ming's body falling rapidly, and he was soon devoured by the darkness, disappearing without a trace.
"Hmph, I told you before that this person is definitely going to die!"
"The seventh section of the Chain isn't something that can be so easily cleared. He's just asking for death!"
"It's a pity. This person sounded the bell 20 something times, but he still died on the seventh section of the Chain, and no one can save him."
The Elder of Puqiang Tribe narrowed his eyes and a chilling glare appeared in them. He no longer looked at the canyons, but lifted his head and spoke darkly, "Send someone down and bring his corpse up later."
Someone behind him immediately obeyed respectfully and quickly went down the stairs to make the arrangements.
A look of disbelief appeared on the face of the man who looked like a mountain of flesh. He looked at the canyons, then looked at the seventh section of the Chain, and respect appeared in his eyes.
"The Chains of Han Mountain …"
The people in Han Mountain City still could not react to the sudden scene. In the midst of the buzzing discussions and uproars, most of their gazes were still fixed on the seventh section of the Chain in the moonlight.
"The Chains of Han Mountain are incredibly dangerous from the seventh section onwards … Ah, even such a prodigy failed. How are we supposed to challenge it?!"
"Only when we reach the ninth section will we have the right to enter Freezing Sky Clan, and that's just the right … Unless we're from the three tribes and can be like Han Cang Zi in the past, we don't even need to clear the ninth section."
Time passed by slowly. The people in Han Mountain City gradually accepted this reality. Some of them felt it was a pity, some of them mocked, some of them felt pleased, and some of them felt sentimental.
Yet no matter what, everything had ended. The bell that sounded 20 something times would become a thing of the past. The Chains of Han Mountain had once again gained another failure, and another wronged soul.
"Ah, let's go …"
"It's over. We should go back to our lodgings and meditate to increase our blood veins. The Chains of Han Mountain aren't something we can challenge …"
"It's a pity that we don't even know his name. We didn't even see his face. Hopefully, Puqiang Tribe will be able to find his corpse."
As the people discussed among themselves, they gradually relaxed from the attention they had paid to the Chains of Han Mountain during the day. They returned to their lodgings with a myriad of sentiments in their hearts.
Ke Jiu Si and the other three were silent in the sky. Besides Xuan Lun, who was laughing coldly in delight, the other three had complicated feelings in their hearts. As they looked at the Chains of Han Mountain and the approaching date of Freezing Sky Clan's disciple recruitment, they felt a deep sense of helplessness.
If powerful Transcended Berserkers like them were willing to have their power stagnate, then returning to their tribes and enjoying the rest of their lives in peace would be the best choice. However, they were already at the Transcendence Realm, and they were still unwilling to give up.
"I'll be going back first …" Nan Tian sighed and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the three people beside him before he turned into a long arc and flew back to the second layer. Ke Jiu Si and Leng Ying also wrapped their fists in their palms towards each other in silence and left.
Only Xuan Lun remained standing in midair with a smile on his lips.
"You overestimated yourself. How dare you challenge the Chains of Han Mountain? Mo Su, you asked for your own death!" Xuan Lun laughed coldly and moved. He did not return to his lodgings, but flew towards Puqiang Mountain. He wanted to see whether Mo Su's face would still be there if his corpse was brought up. He had a guess in his heart, and he wanted to verify it.
Under the eaves of the second layer of Han Mountain City, Han Fei Zi's eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes and took a step forward silently. A white cloud appeared under her feet and lifted her up as she flew towards Lake of Colors Mountain.
She was not curious about the face of the dead loser, neither was she curious about his identity, because he was dead. To her, it did not matter whether this person was Mo Su or not. It was no longer important.
'If he's Mo Su, then I'll have to find another companion … It's a pity …' Han Fei Zi sighed softly and flew into the distance on the white cloud.
Yet at that moment, as Tranquil East Mountain fell into silence, Puqiang Mountain was filled with schadenfreude, and there were even people who went to search for Su Ming's corpse, suddenly, an old man appeared among the dispersing crowd in Han Mountain City. There was a boy by his side. The boy looked at the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth pillars that were still standing under the Chain of Han Mountain connected to Puqiang Mountain with a dumbfounded expression filled with uncertainty and bewilderment. He whispered something into the old man's ear.
The old man was stunned and lifted his head swiftly to look at the Chain of Han Mountain.
"Everyone …" The more the old man looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, but he was still hesitant. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke to the people beside him in a low voice.
Yet no one paid any attention to his words. Thunder rumbled in the sky, lightning flashed, and the rain became heavier.
No matter how heavy the rain was during the day, there were still people who stood outside to look at the Chains of Han Mountain. Yet now, when the rain became slightly heavier, there were already people who walked briskly back to their lodgings.
"Everyone … the … the pillars supporting the Chains are still there!" the old man shouted. His words did not travel too far. Most of the people who heard him ignored him at first, but soon, a shudder ran through their bodies and they turned their heads around to look.
The stone pillars … were still standing under the Chain of Han Mountain connected to Puqiang Mountain!
"What?!"
"The stone pillars are still here?! Whenever a person fails to challenge the Chains of Han Mountain, the stone pillars will descend immediately. This isn't something the three tribes can control. This is the mystery of the Chains of Han Mountain! "
"Why … why are they still here?! Could it be … Could it be …? "
The old man and the boy were not the only ones who noticed this. Some of the other places in Han Mountain City gradually saw this as well. Very soon, discussions and uproars spread through the city. After a moment, almost all the people who heard it stopped moving and looked towards the direction of the sound.
"That's right, the stone pillars didn't descend!"
"Could it be …"
"Could it be that he's not dead?!"
Cries of surprise reverberated in the air and eventually fused together, stirring up a storm that swept through Han Mountain City, causing the people who had already returned to their houses to be stunned once they heard it. They immediately walked out and listened to the cries of surprise around them. When they looked at the towering pillars of Han Mountain, disbelief appeared on their faces!
"Could it be that he's really not dead?!" Nan Tian came to an abrupt halt in midair and turned his head around. Shock appeared on his face.
He was not the only one. Leng Ying and Ke Jiu Si also stopped in midair and looked over.
Xuan Lun was also about to head to Puqiang Mountain with a cold sneer on his face, but when he heard the cries of surprise coming from Han Mountain City, he shuddered and immediately turned around to look.
"That's impossible!"
At that moment, Han Mountain City was not the only ones who were in an uproar. The Elder, the man who looked like a mountain of flesh on Puqiang Mountain, and all the people behind them all had their expressions drastically change!
They had also noticed this!
Han Fei Zi stood on the white cloud. The cloud under her feet stopped for a moment and she turned her head around to look at the canyons under the Chain of Han Mountain!
"He's … still alive?"
"He's still alive? And the challenge of the Chains of Han Mountain hasn't ended yet?" On Tranquil East Mountain, the Elder of Tranquil East sucked in a sharp breath. A rare look of disbelief appeared on his old face.
Han Cang Zi stood not too far away. A hint of red appeared on her pale face. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
