Chapter 1340 – The Melting of the Ice Mountain
Although they were only three sentences, every word contained a mysterious pressure, making the hearts of the crowd beat faster.
The pressure was not directed at their cultivation, but it was the temperament of a natural ruler. Only those with formidable backgrounds that were blessed by the Heavens were capable of possessing it.
Even Xiao Yunjue, Wan Fenghun and the others did not have it.
"She's here too?"
Zhan Bawang, Jiang Kongzhou, Li Qimo, Blood Rune and the others, and the authorities hiding around the place were startled.
Did her appearance here mean that the enormous being behind her had finally decided to reveal his fangs to the entire Canglan Continent?
"Princess, it's been a while."
Meng Langxie and Xiao Yunjue's eyes flickered
"Princess…Princess Miao Miao, what were you implying just then?"
Wan Fenghun's expression stiffened before he spoke.
"Meng Langxie, Xiao Yunjue, I'm not that close with you two, stop acting like we are. As for what I'm implying, it's simple. I'm protecting Tang Qingshan and Gong Yang today; whoever tries to target them again, I don't mind…
"Starting a clan war."
The words served as a clap of thunder, yet Princess Miao Miao had uttered them indifferently as if it were nothing significant.
"Tang Qingshan, consider yourself lucky."
Meng Langxie withdrew his murderous intent without hesitation.
"Princess is being too serious, I wouldn't have troubled them if I knew they were close to you."
Xiao Yunjue glanced at Meng Langxie and said calmly.
"Hehe, since the Princess has said so, I'm more than willing to give the Princess face…"
Wan Fenghun uttered a hollow laugh and backed off.
Despite the unwillingness in his heart, he preferred not to offend this Princess Miao Miao before him.
The Lost Herb Garden was different than the other factions. Those who became its successor would obtain the full support from all authorities.
Although declaring a clan war was a bit of an exaggeration, it was not entirely impossible.
"Let's go!"
Wu Hong, Ling Po, and Si Zhaoxue clenched their teeth when they saw the scene. They immediately cast a mysterious art without hesitation and vanished into thin air.
At this time, trying to kill Gong Yang would be the same as making a death wish.
"You have my thanks."
Princess Miao Miao ignored Meng Langxie, Xiao Yunjue, and the others and approached Tang Qingshan and Gong Yang.
If one were to observe closely, they would detect a hint of sincere joy on her attractive face.
"Was the whole situation resolved just like that?"
The crowd could not help but exclaim as they collected their thoughts.
They never thought Princess Miao Miao whose cultivation was merely at the Martial Progenitor Realm—thus making her the weakest among the successors of all factions—would have such great power.
"Princess…"
Qin Nan glanced at the familiar figure in the distance. It had not been long since they had last met one another, yet for some reason, he could fill a string being plucked in his heart.
"Mm? Meng Langxie and Xiao Yunjue are heading toward the Princess again? Could it be that they have some feelings for her?"
Qin Nan's expression sank as he noticed something.
Normally, he should be happy for Princess Miao Miao for being admired by people like Meng Langxie and Xiao Yunjue, yet he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I'll make you pay once we enter the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain."
Qin Nan's eyes squinted and flickered.
Now that the danger was resolved, he no longer needed to involve himself. However, he would not forget what Meng Langxie, Xiao Yunjue, Wan Fenghun, and the others had done just then.
Time gradually passed. A day was gone fairly quickly.
The day had been calm. Qin Nan and the others continued to stay in their spot, thus no one was aware of their presence yet.
On the same day, more rogue cultivators and Martial Monarch authorities arrived.
Apart from the Martial Monarchs from the formidable factions, there were already twenty-three Martial Monarchs hiding around the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain. A grand occasion of the half-God region was about to take place.
BANG BANG BANG.
A series of explosions took place among the fiery mountains, as the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain suddenly trembled. The ice on its surface began to crack open.
"Something is happening to the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain."
The rogue cultivators, Meng Langxie, Xiao Yunjue, Jiang Kongzhou, and the rest of the genius Martial Monarchs and peak Martial Monarch authorities turned their heads toward the mountain.
"It seems like there isn't much time left until the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain is accessible, but why aren't the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, and Martial Principle Sect here yet?"
Qin Nan frowned slightly.
"What are those Three Great Factions planning?"
In addition to Qin Nan, the others shared the same thought too.
According to the information they had received, the Three Great Factions had long departed from their factions. Even if they were moving at a slow pace, they should still have been there by now.
BANG!
The period it took three incense sticks to burn later, the fiery mountains that had been inactive suddenly burst out with surging flames, which transformed into a mighty, ferocious fiery dragon on top of each mountain.
"Crap!"
"Back off!"
The rogue cultivators and Martial Monarchs hiding on the fiery mountains were astounded. They immediately executed Monarch Arts to escape the flames. However, many cultivators who did not make it in time were burned into ashes by the flames.
ROAR!
Over three hundred fiery dragons roared into the sky, before their enormous figures slammed into the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, resulting in a succession of deafening blasts.
"This…"
The crowd was stunned by the sight.
They had never seen or heard of anything like this.
"I see, someone has sealed the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain entirely. The only way to break the seal is to activate the formations on the fiery mountains."
"That's an incredible setup, no wonder many authorities failed to barge their way into the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain."
"Such an interesting way to seal off the mountain."
The authorities from various factions were astonished when they realized the secret behind it.
The shocking sight did not last for long. A few hundred breaths later, the place returned to calm, as the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain was entirely wrapped in fire.
Crack, crack, crack…
The sound of a huge shell breaking apart could be heard, which gradually grew louder as if a formidable seal was being shattered. In the end, following a buzz, the flames dissipated, together with the layer of ice that covered the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain.
The Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain had finally reappeared.
