After the burly man and the woman calmed down, Xing Jue and the others brought them to a nearby town. Firstly, they wanted to bring them to a safe place. After all, it was impossible for Xing Jue and the others to protect them all the time.
Secondly, they wanted to understand what had happened and which faction those men belonged to. After all, no matter what, Xing Jue and the others had offended those people today. So, they wanted to understand the other party's strength so that they could have an idea.
"Young hero, I won't hide it from you. Although my Blackwind Stronghold is a peak faction in the outer region of the Towering Sky Region, we're not a lowly existence."
At this moment, Xing Jue and the others had already arrived at an inn. The burly man began to tell Xing Jue and the others about what had happened.
"Sigh … I have to start from three months ago. Not far from my Blackwind Stronghold, there was a mountain range called the Sky Peak Mountain Range. The Sky Peak Mountain Range's peak was several tens of thousands of feet tall, reaching straight into the sky. It could be said to be extremely precipitous."
"There were many powerful magical beasts active in the Sky Peak Mountain Range. So, the Sky Peak Mountain Range could be said to be a forbidden area in the outer region of the Towering Sky Region. No one dared to approach it. "
"However, one night three months ago, a strange flame suddenly descended from the sky. When the flame landed on the Sky Peak Mountain Range, it actually shattered the several tens of thousands of feet tall Sky Peak Mountain. At the same time, terrifying flames spread out and actually lit the entire Sky Peak Mountain Range into a sea of flames."
"When the flames passed, people were shocked to discover that the peak of the Sky Peak Mountain Range had actually turned into a high plain. Moreover, all of the magical beasts in the mountain range had already died."
"So, the Sky Peak Mountain Range has undoubtedly become a land of treasures. Everyone wants to wait for the terrifying temperature to subside before going to search for the beast souls of the magical beasts and natural treasures in the mountain range."
"As for some factions, they even want to occupy the Sky Peak Mountain Range and establish their own faction there. After all, the terrain of the Sky Peak Mountain Range is extremely good. It can be said to be a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Especially now that the Sky Peak Mountain Range has been transformed into a natural mountain plain, there is simply nothing better than using it to establish a faction."
"It is precisely because of this that our Blackwind Stockade has attracted this calamity. Our Blackwind Stockade is a faction that is relatively close to the Sky Peak Mountain Range. Therefore, many factions that are eyeing the Sky Peak Mountain Range covetously wish to station their troops within our Blackwind Stockade."
"Naturally, our Stronghold Chief would reject such a thing. However, what I never expected was that a few days ago, these two powers actually joined hands and came to flatten our Black Wind Stronghold."
"As for our Stronghold Chief, he was suppressed by two Battle-Kings and died in battle due to his lack of strength, which led to the massacre of the entire Black Wind Stronghold."
"We were the only ones who managed to escape with the Madam and the Young Master. We didn't expect them to catch up to us in the end. That's why this happened." The muscular man recounted the events with lingering fear in his heart.
"Something like that actually happened? Then, the two Battle-Kings are the strongest among the two factions? "After hearing the muscular man's story, Xing Jue already had a preliminary understanding of the situation.
"Yes, the leaders of both factions are Low-Level Battle-Kings." Hearing Xing Jue's question, the muscular man nodded and replied.
"Haha, two Low-Level Battle-Kings? Are they even worth mentioning?" After hearing the muscular man's words, Xiaolong curled his lips in disdain.
"Big brother Xing Jue, didn't you want to establish a faction? This Sky Peak Mountain Range is a pretty good place to do so." Right at this moment, Li Xiaohan arrived beside Xing Jue and said with a smile.
On the way here, Xing Jue had mentioned his idea of establishing a faction. Currently, Xing Jue's group had quite a number of people, so they couldn't just follow him everywhere.
Establishing a faction would mean that everyone would have a stable place to settle down. Furthermore, in order to fight against the Mystical Palace in the future, they would need to rely on the strength of a faction. If they were to rely on other factions, Xing Jue felt that it would be better to be like his father and establish his own faction.
"That's right, Xing Jue. Since you have the idea of establishing a faction, this is a rare opportunity." Right at this moment, Elder Feng said with a faint smile while stroking his beard.
Although Elder Feng had used the excuse of traveling to the Towering Sky Region to accompany Xing Jue, everyone knew that this old man was only trying to protect his disciple.
"Yes, Xing Jue, just like what your master said, this is indeed a rare opportunity."
"The Towering Sky Region is different from the Eastern Continent. The demonic beasts here are extremely powerful and numerous. Normally, the steep mountain ranges would become the base camps of the demonic beasts. It's very difficult for humans to get close to them. Therefore, most of the factions in the Towering Sky Region are built on plains. "
Right at this moment, the Thunder Leopard King also stepped forward and said. It could be said that he understood the Towering Sky Region much better than Xiaolong. After all, Xiaolong had left the Towering Sky Region for a long time, while he had only been here for twenty years.
In fact, even without the reminder from the crowd, Xing Jue was already tempted. Under the urging of the crowd, Xing Jue was even more determined to seize the Sky Peak Mountain Range.
Although the factions in the outer region of the Towering Sky Region were powerful, their buildings and defensive means were far inferior to the Nangong Nobles and Yufeng Pavilion.
This was because the founders of the Nangong Nobles and Yufeng Pavilion were all extraordinary figures in the past. Putting aside the enormous buildings, just the defensive formation alone was something that the factions in the outer region of the Towering Sky Region couldn't compare to.
Therefore, to the factions in the Towering Sky Region, building their headquarters on a favorable location was simply the best idea. This was the reason why the Sky Peak Mountain Range had attracted the attention of so many factions. They didn't hesitate to come into conflict with the other factions in order to draw their forces here.
After pondering for a moment, Xing Jue asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you know which factions are planning to compete for the Sky Peak Mountain Range? How strong are they?"
"This time, almost all the factions in the vicinity of the Sky Peak Mountain Range are here. Aside from the two factions that occupied my Blackwind Stockade, there are also a few decent factions."
"All of them have Battle-Kings overseeing them. However, the true top-notch factions in the outer region of the Towering Sky Region didn't make a move because most of them already have a decent headquarters," the robust man slowly said after hearing Xing Jue's question.
"If that's the case, it seems like the Sky Peak Mountain Range is destined to be mine." After hearing the robust man's words, a confident smile appeared on Xing Jue's face. His smile contained a domineering aura that was determined to win.
The Sky Peak Mountain Range was located in the outer region of the Towering Sky Region, which was close to the inner region. The Sky Peak Mountain Range wasn't very large, but its terrain was extremely treacherous. Apart from Battle-Monarch experts, even Martial Gods would find it extremely difficult to reach the peak of the mountain range.
However, the Sky Peak Mountain Range had undergone a rather large change. This was especially true for the main peak, which had the largest area. After the descent of the bizarre Heavenly Flames, the top of the main peak had been forcefully blasted into a plain. It was this high mountain plain that had become a place that many factions coveted.
It was easy to imagine the defensive capabilities of a faction that was built on such a high and precipitous terrain. Aside from Battle-Kings, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for any other expert to capture it.
At this moment, it had been over three months since the Heavenly Flames had descended on the Sky Peak Mountain Range. Not only had the Heavenly Flames been extinguished, even the terrifying temperature had gradually decreased. At the very least, it was already bearable for Martial Gods.
Therefore, the factions that coveted the terrain of the Sky Peak Mountain Range had already begun to send experts to capture it. At this moment, there were already several thousand people gathered at the peak of the Sky Peak Mountain Range. The weakest among them was a Low-Level Martial God, while the strongest had already reached the Battle-King level.
A red-robed middle-aged man said to a white-bearded old man, "Sect Leader Wang, the Celestial Peak Mountain Range originally belonged to my faction. Now that you've brought so many people to attack my territory, it's inexcusable, right?" Furthermore, both of them were Battle-Kings.
"Pfft, stop pretending. You and the Ghost Gate Hall worked together to occupy the Blackwind Stronghold, so you're the owner of the Sky Peak Mountain Range?"
"Forget about the Blackwind Stronghold being snatched by you. Even if the Blackwind Stronghold is now your territory, this Heaven Peak Mountain Range has nothing to do with you. This is because this Heaven Peak Mountain Range has no owner." Upon seeing this, the old man's face was filled with disdain as he spoke.
"Hahaha, I think Sect Master Wang is right. Since everyone has come for the Celestial Peak Mountain Range, I presume that no one will give up so easily. So, there's no need to argue. Let's use our strength to settle this."
At this moment, a shifty-eyed, cucumber-faced man with a goatee beard arrived beside the red-robed man and said with a smile. He was the Hall Master of the Ghost Gate Hall.
"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you?" After hearing his words, the old man let out an explosive roar, and his Low-Level Battle-King aura burst forth without any restraint.
Behind him, a total of six Battle-King auras also spread out from the Sky Peak Mountain Range. They were the leaders of some of the factions in the outer regions of the Towering Sky Region.
"Huff ~ Huff ~ Huff ~"
"Rumble ~ Rumble ~"
However, at this moment, a power that was several times stronger than the six auras suddenly descended from the sky. At this moment, even the dark clouds above the Sky Peak Mountain Range turned dark red. Pale-white lightning bolts flickered within the surging red clouds, accompanied by rumbling sounds.
After sensing this aura, the expressions of everyone present changed greatly. The Martial Gods instantly fell to the ground, losing all ability to move. Even the Battle-Kings began to tremble uncontrollably. At this moment, they felt a fatal threat.
"Humm humm humm ~"
At this moment, the space not far away from the six Battle-Kings suddenly wiggled, and several figures appeared. Among them, the one that attracted their gazes the most was the young man standing in the middle.
The young man's black robe fluttered in the wind, and the most shocking thing was that his black robe was actually covered in a layer of translucent black energy armor. This was a unique martial skill that they had never seen before.
However, the most shocking thing was that they felt a powerful pressure from the young man. They could not imagine that the young man's strength was actually far above theirs.
At this moment, the young man swept his sharp gaze towards the few Battle-Kings, and said in an indifferent voice, "You're all Battle-Kings, you're all Battle-Kings.
"From today onwards, the Sky Peak Mountain Range belongs to me."
