With that, Jianchen gazed at the mountain in front of him. He saw that Coiling Dragon Mountain was like a pyramid standing on the ground. It was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. Its tip was as high as the clouds. From afar, it seemed like a huge dragon coiled up there, its head already reaching into the clouds.
The surroundings of Coiling Dragon Mountain were just as the patriarch of the Tianqin family had said. The terrain was precipitous, with cliffs and precipices everywhere. Furthermore, the entire mountain was covered in thick brambles, densely covering every inch of the ground. It was practically impossible to climb up.
"What a thick worldly essence energy! The worldly essence energy here is actually twice as thick compared to the outside world. If I were to cultivate here, my cultivation speed would not be as fast as absorbing the energy from the demon cores. However, compared to the outside world, it would still be much faster." Jianchen stared at the top of the mountain and said, "And the closer you are to the top, the denser the energy of the world is. Coiling Dragon Mountain is a spiritual mountain where the energy of the world gathers. It's the best place to establish a sect. It's a pity that it's been taken over by a group of bandits."
"Yeah, Coiling Dragon Mountain is the most famous mountain in the surrounding ten thousand kilometers. There's no other spiritual mountain better than Coiling Dragon Mountain in this region. It's once caused countless organisations in the surrounding ten thousand kilometers to covet it. It's a pity that none of them have the power to take Coiling Dragon Mountain from the hands of the Serpent Dragon Bandits," said a great elder of the Tianqin clan.
With that, Jianchen pondered for a moment before saying, "Since Coiling Dragon Mountain is so precious, I wonder if your Tianqin clan has ever thought of taking it over?"
"Of course we've thought about it. There's no organisation that wouldn't covet a spiritual mountain where the energy of the world is twice as dense as outside. However, the strength of the Serpent Dragon Bandits has stopped everyone from approaching Coiling Dragon Mountain." This time, the person who spoke was the patriarch of the Tianqin clan. His gaze towards Coiling Dragon Mountain was filled with undisguised desire.
Jianchen glanced at the patriarch of the Tianqin clan and smiled, "A spiritual mountain like this shouldn't be left in the hands of a group of bandits who only know how to burn, kill, and plunder. Otherwise, it will only harm even more people. Since your Tianqin clan wants to take over this mountain, I, Jianchen, will lend you a hand. I'll take over this mountain and gift it to you. It's getting late now, so let's go up the mountain."
Jianchen ignored the shocked gazes of the Tianqin Family Head and the three Grand Elders. He urged the Class Four Magical Beast mount to take the lead and head towards the only mountain path of the Coiling Dragon Mountain.
"Big brother, did I hear wrong? Jianchen actually wants to take the Serpent Dragon Bandit Group's Coiling Dragon Mountain, and he even wants to take it and gift it to our Tianqin clan?" The second Grand Elder murmured as he stared at Jianchen's departing figure.
The Grand Elder who was referred to as big brother was stunned by what Jianchen had said. He stared at Jianchen in both surprise and doubt as he said softly, "I wonder just what level of strength Jianchen has reached. Is he really confident that he can deal with the boss of the Serpent Dragon Bandits? The boss of the Serpent Dragon Bandits is so powerful that he's basically the strongest below Saint Ruler. Or perhaps Jianchen still doesn't understand the boss's strength. "
The third Grand Elder hesitated before saying, "Big brother, second brother, Jianchen doesn't seem like an arrogant person. He probably has something to rely on. Let's stop discussing and follow him. We'll find out soon whether Jianchen has the ability to deal with the boss of the Serpent Dragon Bandits or not."
This time, Jianchen walked at the very front while the three Grand Elders followed closely behind him. Behind them was the thousand-strong group of the Tianqin clan.
The thousand-strong group made their way up the winding path that was only three meters wide. They made their way to the top of the mountain. The two sides of the path were filled with dense trees and weeds. The roars of beasts would ring out from time to time in the quiet mountain forest.
However, Jianchen knew extremely well that the roars of beasts did not come from real beasts. Instead, they came from people. They were using a special method to transmit information from the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and then from the middle of the mountain all the way to the top.
There was a huge manor completely constructed from marble on a wide, flat area at the top of the mountain. At this moment, the entire manor was covered in red paper. A large number of people dressed in various attires walked through the manor as they busied themselves. As the people in charge called out, they hung up large red lanterns and red wedding firecrackers all over the manor. The entire manor was filled with a heavy atmosphere of celebration. It was extremely lively.
Suddenly, a disheveled young man in a wolf fur coat ran into the manor in a hurry. He directly made his way to the depths of the manor before stopping outside a hall that was heavily guarded. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Great master, I have something important to report."
"Speak!" A powerful voice rang out from the hall. It was filled with supreme dignity. It was not difficult to tell from the voice that it belonged to a middle-aged man.
"Great master, a group of people has come from the bottom of the mountain. They're currently making their way to the top of the mountain. There are around a thousand of them," the disheveled young man said politely.
"If I've guessed correctly, they should be the Tianqin clan from Walaurent City of the Zhuya Kingdom," the dignified voice rang out from the hall. However, there was some mockery in the voice this time.
"Great master, you've actually guessed it right away. Nothing really can be hidden from great master," the disheveled young man hurriedly flattered.
A disdainful sneer rang out from the hall, "It's already been over a hundred years since an outsider has come to my Coiling Dragon Mountain. At a time like this, only the Tianqin clan is most likely to come to my Coiling Dragon Mountain. I just never thought that the Tianqin clan would be so bold. Do they think that their three Heaven Saint Masters can threaten my Coiling Dragon Mountain? Hmph, what a joke. Pass down my orders. Get the four protectors of the Tianluo and Disha to lead a group of people down the mountain and defeat the people of the Tianqin clan. Chase them out of my Coiling Dragon Mountain!"
"Yes, great master!" A heavy voice immediately rang out from the hall.
"Hold on, that might not be appropriate. My daughter-in-law is still a member of the Tianqin clan after all. If I were to kill a member of the Tianqin clan at a time like this, it would be rather inexcusable. Whatever, since they want to come, I'll get them to attend my son's wedding. Order the Tianluo and Disha to receive the esteemed guests," the great master suddenly changed his mind.
"Yes, great master!"
In an extremely warmly decorated room in the manor, the second young lady of the Tianqin clan, Qin Qin, sat before a dressing table in a red wedding dress. Beside her, two female servants carefully helped her with her makeup.
Qin Qin looked at herself in the mirror with mixed feelings. She could not help but think about what had happened a few days ago. She had gone out a few days ago, but she had unexpectedly encountered the people of the Serpent Dragon Bandits. Not only had they killed off all the guards who had escorted her, they had even taken her captive to the Coiling Dragon Mountain where the Serpent Dragon Bandits resided. She had been forced to marry the great master's son. …
Originally, Qin Qin had thought that her sudden encounter with the Serpent Dragon Bandits was purely a coincidence, but later on, she found out from the great master's son that it was not a coincidence at all. Instead, the Serpent Dragon Bandits had done it on purpose. The reason was that the great master's son had once seen her in Walaurent City and had drooled over her beauty.
Qin Qin did not resist being forced to marry the great master's son because she knew that any resistance would be pointless and useless. However, she had already made up her mind that she would never marry the great master's son no matter what. Once they entered the wedding hall, she would commit suicide by biting her tongue.
She was as pure as jade, so she could not allow her body to be tainted in the slightest. Even before she died, she would protect her dignity.
"Father, thank you for raising me for all these years. I can no longer repay you in this life. I can only repay you in my next life. Please forgive me. Brother, thank you for your care for me in these years. You will always be a great person in my heart. I hope that in the next life, you will still be my big brother." Two clear lines of tears uncontrollably flowed from Qin Qin's eyes.
… …
"Stop!"
Halfway up the Coiling Dragon Mountain, the group of people from the Tianqin clan who were making their way to the peak all stopped under Jianchen's signal. Afterwards, four Heaven Saint Masters quickly flew over from the direction of the peak as they flickered with the unique light of the energy of the world. In the end, they stopped in front of the group of people from the Tianqin clan and looked down from above.
The four Heaven Saint Masters all had the appearance of middle-aged men. They wore the same grey robes and their faces were filled with arrogance. They looked down with disdain, completely looking down on the Tianqin clan.
"Under the great master's orders, the Tianluo Disha has specially come to invite the Tianqin clan to participate in the young master and his daughter's wedding. Everyone, please come up the mountain. The young master and his daughter's wedding will officially begin at noon today," one of the Heaven Saint Masters coldly said to the people below.
"The Tianluo Disha are the four divine generals of the Serpent Dragon Bandits. They have been renowned for many years and are extremely powerful. I never thought that the Serpent Dragon Bandits would actually send the four of them," a great elder whispered into Jianchen's ear.
