There were some weak lights swaying in the wind in Han Mountain City at night. If Su Ming looked in the direction where the lights came from, he would be able to see inns that were still occupied even at night.
Su Ming walked down the streets of Han Mountain City and looked at the familiar houses around him. He walked past them quietly.
'I've been here for many years.' Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. Before him was an inn. There were not many customers in the inn, and most of them were drinking alone. Occasionally, they would talk to each other in whispers.
There was a table by the door, and the innkeeper was a man in his twenties. He rested his chin on his hands and fell asleep.
An indescribable feeling surrounded Han Mountain City, as if it had turned into an oppressive feeling that fell heavily on the hearts of all the people in the city. That was why there were still people drinking in the inns even in the middle of the night.
'I'm here again.' Su Ming looked at the inn. He remembered that when he first came to Han Mountain City, he had met He Feng and Han Fei Zi here.
'I came here, and now I'm going to leave. It's still the same place …' Su Ming smiled and decided not to move forward anymore. He stepped into the inn. The environment inside was the same as in his memories. Su Ming did not attract too much attention when he walked in. Only the sleeping innkeeper opened his eyes and cast a glance at Su Ming, as if he was moved by the wind Su Ming sent into the inn.
Su Ming's current appearance was his real appearance. There were simply too few people who had seen his current appearance in Han Mountain City. Even if someone had seen him before, it would be difficult for them to connect him with the famous Berserkers who had attained completion in the Transcendence Realm or the equally famous Mo Su.
Su Ming walked into the inn and sat down at the table he had sat at all those years ago.
Not long after, the innkeeper walked over while yawning. He did not ask anything, but placed two pots of wine on the table along with some food to go with the wine. Then he left and returned to the table by the door. He rested his chin on his hands and dozed off once again.
Su Ming picked up the pot of wine and brought it to his lips to take a sip. The wine tasted the same as when he drank it in the past. It tasted spicy in his mouth, and it was as if there was a line of fire in his chest.
It was quiet all around. Only the owner's snoring could be heard echoing in the air. The others, including Su Ming, were all drinking quietly. Some of them were frowning, and there was a hint of resignation and indignation on their faces.
It was the same atmosphere that enveloped Han Mountain City. Even the inn was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Su Ming lowered his head and continued drinking. He did not look at the people around him. No one was observing him in the inn in the middle of the night. All of them were thinking about their own matters.
Time passed slowly. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Two men in blue robes walked in silently. After stepping into the inn, they sat down beside a table and chairs. Their expressions were gloomy, and they did not say a word.
"Another friend who wants to drink away his sorrows. Han Mountain City is different from before these past few days." Sitting at a table not too far away from Su Ming was a middle-aged man in blue robes. He held a pot of wine and let out a burp. It was clear that he had drunk a little too much. He chuckled softly, but all the people in the inn could tell that his chuckle was one of self-deprecation.
"Freezing Sky Clan disappointed everyone this time. I didn't expect …" The silence previously in the inn was broken slightly. Another person spoke in a low, self-deprecating tone.
"We are indeed disappointed, but what can we do? The envoys from Freezing Sky Clan have already said that they will only be taking in one disciple this time, and that is Lake of Colors Tribe's Han Fei Zi." One of the two men in blue robes slammed his right hand on the table.
"Innkeeper, hurry up and bring me wine!"
That one slap and shout immediately made the sleeping innkeeper jolt awake. He quickly got up and brought food and wine over.
"Why are you throwing a tantrum at the innkeeper? If you're so great, go and look for the envoys from Freezing Sky Clan. Freezing Sky Clan didn't say that they won't be taking in anyone else this time."
"Hmph, it's true that they didn't say it clearly, but who in Han Mountain City can get the right to enter the sect?" The man who slammed the table laughed coldly. There was a resigned look in his eyes. However, the man in blue robes sitting beside him did not say a single word. He just sat there quietly and did not utter a single word.
"Besides, it's just the right. Once we get the right, whether we can enter Freezing Sky Clan will depend on their subsequent tests. They're basically telling us that they're only taking in one disciple this time."
"Freezing Sky Clan is powerful. We all want to enter, but we can't go against Freezing Sky's will, so what …?" An old man in cotton robes who had drunk too much and was sprawled on the table lifted his head. With a drunken look on his face, he mocked them with a mocking smile.
"I heard that Sir Nan Tian and the other two Transcended Berserkers went to visit the envoys from Freezing Sky together, but they returned disappointed. Sir Ke Jiu Si even left Han Mountain City in anger. Right now, the only Transcended Berserkers in the city are Sir Nan Tian and Sir Leng Ying."
"The envoys from Freezing Sky Clan don't even care about the Transcended Berserkers. What can we do?"
The sounds of discussions echoed in the inn. The words about Freezing Sky Clan seemed to have resonated with the people. The anger, helplessness, and depression gradually became stronger.
Su Ming sat by the table in the corner and drank as he listened to the words falling into his ears.
'So many things happened during the time I drew my Berserker Mark. But Freezing Sky Clan's actions are in line with my expectations.' Su Ming picked up the pot of wine and lifted his head to look at the people who were discussing the matter angrily not too far away. He stood up and walked over.
He placed the pot of wine on the table of the two men in green robes. Once he attracted their attention, Su Ming swept his gaze past the man who had been silent all this while, then looked at the man who had slammed the table.
"Brother, can I sit here?" Su Ming asked with a smile.
The man frowned and cast a few glances at Su Ming. He was frustrated and was about to scold him when his silent companion nodded his head.
When the man saw his companion nodding his head, he was momentarily stunned and did not speak.
Su Ming sat down with a smile and picked up the pot of wine to take a sip.
"I have a question I'd like to ask."
"Sir, please ask." The person who spoke was the man in blue robes who had been silent all this while. His voice was hoarse. This was the first time he spoke. The others did not think much of it, but his companion, the man who had slammed the table just now, had a surprised look on his face.
He knew that his companion had a noble status, but he did not like to talk. He was used to being silent, but there was a hint of arrogance in his bones. He usually ignored everyone. If it was not because he had no other choice, he would not have come to the inn to drink with him.
Su Ming looked at the man with the hoarse voice and asked languidly, "Is the entry requirement from Freezing Sky Clan related to the Chains of Han Mountain?"
"No. Ever since the Lord Divine General walked past the Chains of Han Mountain, the envoys from Freezing Sky Clan came and announced that the entry requirement is no longer the Chains of Han Mountain," the man said hoarsely. There was a hint of hesitation and respect in his gaze as he looked at Su Ming.
"Sir, did you just come to Han Mountain City? How could you not know about this? The Chains of Han Mountain have been canceled and the entry requirements have been reformulated.
"If you want to get in, you only need to do one thing. This, heh heh …" The person who spoke was a young man standing not too far away. He held a cup of wine in his hand and drank it in one gulp. There was a self-deprecating look on his face.
"It's easy to say. Challenge all the powerful Berserkers in the Transcendence Realm in Han Mountain and the three tribes, and each challenge is limited to one attack! If you succeed in all your challenges, then you'll have the right to enter the clan, but that's just the right. Whether you can enter Freezing Sky Clan will depend on their subsequent tests. "
"This isn't a test, it's obvious that they're rejecting us! Freezing Sky Clan has already made up their mind to only take one person. "
The sounds of discussion rose once again in the inn. Besides drinking to vent their anger, the people had no other way to fight back against the infuriating entry requirement of Freezing Sky Clan.
"There are only two days left. Once these two days are over, the envoys from Freezing Sky Clan will leave with Han Fei Zi. At that time, the disciple recruitment will end. If you want to enter Freezing Sky Clan, then you'll have to wait for another ten years."
"It's not that there's no one who can do it!" the man of few words sitting beside Su Ming suddenly said.
"If the Lord Divine General comes back, he'll definitely succeed!"
"It's clear now. The envoys from Freezing Sky Clan announced that the entry requirement will not be based on the Chains of Han Mountain. It's clear that they're targeting the Lord Divine General. Even if the Lord comes back, he'll definitely face some difficulties."
"Besides the Lord Divine General, perhaps Sir Yun Zang, who's said to have gone out to train, will also have a chance."
"There's also Mo Su, that mysterious powerful Berserker in the Transcendence Realm. If he appears, perhaps he'll also have a chance. "Besides these three people, no one else in the entire Han Mountain can do it."
Su Ming did not speak again. Instead, he sat by the table and drank his wine. When the sky outside gradually brightened, most of the people in the inn stopped their discussions. Some of them even chose to leave. The hesitation on the face of the taciturn man beside Su Ming grew stronger. He cast a glance at Su Ming, hesitated for a moment, then got up and bowed towards him. Then, he left the inn with his astonished companion.
At that moment, besides Su Ming, who was still drinking, there were three other people left in the inn. However, all three of them were already drunk. They were sprawled on the table and snoring nonstop.
'This person's power has already reached the Transcendence Realm.' Su Ming's gaze fell on the back of the man who had been quiet as he left the inn.
The man who Su Ming's gaze swept past took a few brisk steps outside the inn. A grave expression appeared on his face, and the hesitation in his eyes turned into shock.
"Brother Yun, what's wrong? Is there something strange about that person? "his companion asked in a low voice.
"Quiet! Don't talk about this person … this person … "The silent man with a hoarse voice took a deep breath and turned his head around to look at the inn behind him. He might not be able to see Su Ming, but there was deep respect in his eyes.
"This person isn't someone we can provoke or talk about. He only said one sentence to me just now, but it made my heart jump. Even the Qi in my body started trembling."
"What?! What level of cultivation does he have? "The man's companion was momentarily stunned, and his expression immediately changed.
The man named Yun fell silent for a moment before he spoke slowly, "Even the Elders of the three tribes can't make me this nervous. What level of cultivation do you think he has?" "To be continued.
