Every single one of Su Ming's actions had affected the hearts of many people who were paying attention to him after he had gone through the transition from death to life for an entire day.
They looked at Su Ming walking up the seventh section of the Chain and at the figure in the moonlight. For some unknown reason, that person seemed to be exuding a lonely air as he stood in midair. That feeling was very faint, but it would be different depending on the person looking at it.
"Elder, please appear …" Su Ming walked slowly. He longed to see the elder, even if it was just a glance.
Before Su Ming, Puqiang Mountain, which was behind the eighth and ninth sections of the Chain, fell silent for a moment before the feminine voice that the people had heard before traveled forth.
"Sir, you've already failed. Why do you continue? Even if you continue, you will still fail in the end! The challenge of the Chains of Han Mountain has ended! "The feminine voice traveled forth slowly and filled the entire area.
The moment the voice traveled forth, the people in Han Mountain City immediately fell silent. Even Nan Tian and the others frowned, but once they looked at Puqiang Mountain, they did not say anything.
Su Ming ignored them and continued moving forward silently. As he stepped on the Chain, he looked at the end of the sixth section of the Chain, and a hint of desire that was hidden deeply appeared in his eyes.
"Elder … Elder …" Su Ming mumbled. He did not stop moving. At that moment, his heart trembled. He saw something that no one else could see – the black fog that appeared on the section of the Chain. That fog gathered together and slowly turned into the back of an old man. That back was familiar to Su Ming, and it made excitement appear in his eyes.
Even though he knew it was fake, Su Ming was still satisfied that he could see the elder.
"The challenge of the Chains of Han Mountain has ended. Sir, you've failed. You're already lucky that you didn't die. I advise you to leave quickly. If you continue, you'll be seen as challenging Puqiang Tribe's might …" The feminine voice echoed in the air once again. That voice was soft, but there was a hint of malice in it.
The voice from Puqiang Tribe made Han Mountain City fall into complete silence. Almost everyone was silent. When faced with Puqiang Tribe, one of the three owners of Han Mountain City, the people who came to the city had no power to fight back.
They were not the ones who made the rules. Even if they wanted to change it, it was not up to them. Even if this went against the original intentions of the Chains of Han Mountain, Su Ming had still failed once, even if this failure was not acknowledged by the Chains of Han Mountain and he had walked out of the canyons once again.
However, if Puqiang Tribe relied on this, it would be difficult for others to say anything, nor would they have the right to say anything.
Perhaps Nan Tian had some qualifications, but he chose to remain silent.
Ke Jiu Si hesitated for a moment before sighing in his heart. He knew that this was Han Mountain City, a city that belonged to Puqiang. Outsiders did not have the right to object.
Leng Ying furrowed his brows, but he also remained silent.
Xuan Lun unclenched his fists as he stood in the sky in the distance. Delight appeared in his eyes. He hoped that Su Ming would refuse. If that was the case, then he would be fighting against Puqiang. He would not even need to do anything to get rid of Puqiang!
Everyone was silent. Han Fei Zi lowered her head. No one knew what she was thinking.
After Lake of Colors Peak and Tranquil East Peak heard the feminine voice from Puqiang Mountain, they also fell silent.
The world suddenly fell silent. Even the lightning didn't appear at this moment.
Gazes fell upon Su Ming from within Han Mountain City. The owners of those gazes wanted to know what Su Ming would choose.
Yet what they did not know was that Su Ming no longer had the time to bother with the feminine voice. His vision was completely occupied by the old man formed by the fog.
He trembled and tears fell from his eyes once again. As he looked at the old man who was slowly turning around and looking at him, Su Ming's voice became hoarse.
"Elder …"
That old man was Dark Mountain Tribe's Elder, Mo Sang!
He was still dressed in the same clothes as the last time Su Ming saw him. When he saw Su Ming, there was a slightly dazed and complicated look on his face. He stared at Su Ming blankly, at the child he had raised since he was young.
He seemed to want to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth. The dazed and complicated look in his eyes was gradually replaced by gentleness and kindness. There was even a hint of praise in his eyes. It was as if he was very, very satisfied with the current Su Ming.
Su Ming looked at the elder and tears fell from his eyes. No matter how much he grew up, how much he learned to be aloof and lonely, how many people he killed, how many things he went through, all of it disappeared the moment he saw the elder. He seemed to still be the carefree child at the foot of Dark Mountain. He had Xiao Hong as his companion, the elder's love, waiting for the rainy day to collect Dark Dragon's Saliva, waiting for the bonfire to be lit in the tribe, and laughing happily around the elder.
At that time, the sky was very blue and the clouds were very white, but he could not seem to remember it.
"Elder … I miss home …" Su Ming walked forward. He wanted to see the elder at a closer distance. It might be an illusion, but Su Ming did not care.
The elder looked at Su Ming, and the gentleness in his eyes made Su Ming's heart tremble. He could not help but remember the happy moments when he was still a teenager.
As he got closer, when Su Ming stood before the elder formed from the fog, more tears fell from his eyes. He looked at the white-haired old man before him, at the clothes he wore that were the same as in his memories, and at him, Su Ming forced out a smile.
"Elder, La Su has grown up. Look, I'm much taller now …"
The elder looked at Su Ming with a smile and seemed to sigh softly. The gentleness in his eyes was once again replaced by a complicated look. Within that complicated look was a hint of pity, and a hint … of a deeper meaning that Su Ming could not understand.
Eventually, Su Ming saw a hint of resolution and resolution on the elder's face. He saw a strange light suddenly appear in the elder's eyes. That light shone in Su Ming's head, causing a bang to go off in his head, as if it was trembling.
At the same time, he heard the voice that only existed in his memories clearly!
"Su Ming … you …" Su Ming's body trembled, but the moment the voice appeared and before he could finish listening to it, the elder's body suddenly trembled and disappeared. The fog seemed to have been scattered by a huge force behind him, causing everything to disappear before Su Ming's eyes!
The fog disappeared, the elder disappeared, and even the voice became faint and lingering, causing Su Ming to be unable to hear it clearly. All of this was not because Su Ming was stepping on air, neither was it because there was something wrong with the Chains of Han Mountain. It was because at that moment, a powerful force was charging towards him.
The thing that brought forth that powerful force was a black bone ring. With a whistle, that bone ring flew out from Puqiang Mountain and charged towards Su Ming. It was the ring that had shaken the Chains of Han Mountain, causing the illusions that were reflected in Su Ming's eyes on the Chains to disappear.
Su Ming's eyes instantly turned red. He had originally learned how to be calm and not be impulsive, but there were some things that he could not tolerate, that he absolutely could not tolerate!
His elder was one of those things!
The incoming bone ring scattered the fog formed by the elder and also scattered the beautiful and happy memories he had when he was a teenager that had appeared in Su Ming's heart. This scene was similar to the gaze he had when he saw Dark Mountain being crushed by a giant hand when he walked down the path of blood leading to Han Mountain's ancestor's isolation grounds.
The bone ring and its master had crossed the line that Su Ming could not allow others to touch, and it had … made him descend into madness!
A low roar that had not left Su Ming's mouth for a long time suddenly reverberated through the sky and earth. It seemed to have fused together with the thunder in the sky, as if his anger was the same as the anger of the heavens.
As he roared, Su Ming lifted his head. The shadow of the blood red moon appeared in his eyes. As he faced the bone ring charging towards him, Su Ming took a huge step forward. The Qi in his body surged forth, and at the same time a shocking power erupted forth, a large amount of moonlight also descended upon him. He even activated the Branding Art. Green light shone at the center of his brows, and the small virescent sword turned into a ray of green light. It gathered all the power of Su Ming's blood veins, the shadow of the blood red moon, and the Branding Art. That green light shone!
The light surged into the sky. There was no lightning, but at that moment, the sky and earth were illuminated by the green light. As thunder rumbled, the green light charged towards the incoming bone ring, and the moment it crashed into it, it sliced through it!
A loud bang rang out. The sky and earth shook, and the earth trembled. Su Ming coughed out a mouthful of blood and took a few steps back. Yet with every step he took, he would land accurately on the Chain.
The green light dissipated and tumbled backwards, fusing into Su Ming's body. The moment the green light appeared until it disappeared, it only lasted for an instant. No one could see what it was!
Before Su Ming, the black bone ring remained unmoving. A thin crack appeared on it, and in an instant, it shattered into two halves and fell into the canyons!
At that moment, the man who looked like a mountain of flesh on Puqiang Mountain shuddered violently and coughed out a huge mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned pale, and the fat on his body shrunk by a large amount.
"How dare you? I've already warned you. If you continue, then you'll be challenging Puqiang Mountain. I'll give you one last chance. Retreat immediately! You've failed! "The man who looked like a mountain of flesh spoke in a weak and venomous voice.
"I don't agree!" Su Ming wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and looked at Puqiang Mountain coldly. He had already regained his composure.
"You don't agree? What right do you have to disagree? You're just an outsider in Han Mountain. The three tribes are in charge of Han Mountain! If you don't retreat within the span of three breaths, then don't even think about leaving! " The one who spoke was not the man who looked like a mountain of flesh, but an old man standing beside the Elder of Puqiang Tribe. That old man had an arrogant look on his face, and there was disdain in his cold sneer.
The moment his words left his mouth, the man who looked like a mountain of flesh immediately frowned. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but he did not.
As for the Elder of Puqiang Tribe, he still did not say a single word, but the coldness in his eyes revealed his true intentions.
Su Ming remained silent.
Some of the people in Han Mountain City had already clenched their fists. They were also outsiders of Han Mountain. Even if they had lived in Han Mountain City for many years, this city belonged to the three tribes. Those who were not part of the three tribes were all outsiders!
Yet they indeed did not have the right to refute. Yet more people's gazes as they looked at Puqiang Mountain turned cold. A sense of acknowledgment towards Su Ming slowly rose within them, because they were all outsiders.
Nan Tian, Ke Jiu Si, and Leng Ying also turned their cold gazes towards Puqiang Mountain when they heard those words, but they still chose to remain silent.
