Chapter 222: Fortuitous Encounter

“Achieving nothing is better than losing your life. Brother, we are not young anymore so we should appreciate our lives more!”

“If we really found the Multiform Demon Lord’s Abode inside, we can live comfortably for the rest of our lives with this merit deed!”

“It is not as easy as you said. It is best not to be too greedy. As I said, we should have reported it a long time ago!”

“Brother, you are regretting it, right?”

“A little bit,” the round-faced old man sighed, “If we report it early, at least we won’t lose so many people!”

“Even if we report it, we will need someone to scout inside too. We still need to send them inside!”

“These disciples are the product of our hard work!”

“They are all just some unworthy disciples,” the thin old man said coldly, “They are impetuous and incapable. Don’t expect them to be successful in the future. When we are gone, they will disband. None of them can succeed the Rising Sun Faction!”

“Brother, if we get the martial arts of the Demon Lord and let them practice it, do you think that they will practice it successfully?”

“… Forget it.”

They were silent again.

Multiform Demon Lord’s heritage was a great temptation for them, or else, they will not keep the secret to themselves and they will not lose more than twenty disciples.

Everyone thought the Multiform Demon Lord was someone who had a thousand face and varied transformation. However, the two of them, who were Protectors from the Imperial House, knew more: the most powerful thing of the Multiform Demon Lord was his martial arts. There were at least five Grandmasters who lost their lives in his hand.

If they can practice his heart technique, it will be enough for them to rule the world.

“That’s it! I’m going in!” the thin old man said gruffly.

The fat old man sighed and nodded slowly.

Chu Li sat quietly in the woodshed and activated the power of the Omniscient Mirror to the extreme and saw the thoughts in their minds.

The Multiform Demon Lord who can make the Emperor pay so much attention to was by no means an ordinary person. If he can inherit the Multiform Demon Lord’s martial arts, he can change his appearance and together with his Omniscient Mirror, he can do a lot of things.

The next night, the heavy snow had not yet melted and the bright moon hung in the sky.

The white snow reflected the moonlight, illuminating the surroundings clearly.

All disciples of the Rising Sun Faction came to the bottom of Rising Sun Mountain and walked around it in a circle, every dozen meters a person and kept patrolling.

All of them were wide-eyed, getting more nervous as midnight approached.

They all knew that the entrance will appear at midnight for a fleeting moment. If they missed it, they can only wait for next month.

This time, their Faction Leader will personally enter the Formation to rescue the brothers and sisters who had gone in earlier. This made them feel somewhat moved and somewhat worried, wondering if those who had gone in were still alive.

The fat old man and the thin old man stood quietly on the basilica’s glazed roof tile, looking at the Rising Sun Mountain across them. Under the moonlight, their purple robes fluttered.

Once the disciples found the entrance and shot a whistling arrow, they will rush there, reaching there just on time.

The two stood silently on the glazed roof tile and said nothing because everything needed to say had been said.

“Bang!” an explosion sounded in the distance and a firework appeared in the sky.

“Let’s go!” the two turned into two gust of wind and rushed over to that place.

Chu Li flew out of the woodshed and suddenly disappeared.

Two Rising Sun Faction’s disciples stared wide-eyed at the fireworks in the sky, hoping the Faction Leader can rush over immediately. Beside them, a patch of taupe grass field appeared in the middle of the lush woods. It was distinct from its surrounding and conspicuous. This was the entrance!

From the corner of their eyes, they seemed to catch a glimpse of a shadow flashing past but when they turned around, there was nothing at all, like it was an illusion.

They looked at each other and shook their heads, ignoring it.

Once Chu Li entered the Formation, a vast expanse of whiteness entered his view suddenly, as if a fog enveloped the place.

He activated Omniscient Mirror and saw that he was at the bottom of the mountain. The mountain before him and the mountain he saw outside were completely different. At the bottom of this mountain, there were a taupe grass field and dense woods.

Going up from there and at its hillside, it was covered with vast white snow. This was a snow-capped mountain that was twice as high and twice as large as the Rising Sun Mountain.

The snow-capped mountains in the moonlight resembled a silver mountain, snow-white flawless and awe-inspiring.

There was no Formation here. It was purely a night fog.

He did not care about whether someone entered the Formation behind him and flew towards the mountain peak. He activated Omniscient Mirror and everything around him within a radius of five miles can be seen by him.

He thanked God that this Formation only had one layer, unlike the Formation he had seen in Tai Hua Valley—a Formation in a Formation.

This Formation only had a disorientation effect. Outsiders cannot come into the snow-capped mountain, but there was a slight chance—an opportunity to come in by coincidence.

Just like a predestined person can enter it while someone who was not predestined can never come in.

Thinking of this, he could not hold back his excitement and his movement became faster.

He flew the whole journey and met more than 20 Rising Sun Faction’s disciples on the way. They gathered together and found a cave to squat in, some were practicing martial arts, some were cooking, and some were sleeping. Seeing their ruddy complexion, they were living quite well.

Chu Li avoided them and continued up the mountain until he reached the peak.

At the mountain peak, it was freezing cold and the air here was thin.

The cold wind blew against his face like a knife slicing his flesh. The breaths he exhaled were almost immediately frozen.

He had Sentient Menace to protect his body, neither heat nor frost can invade his body, so he did not mind the cold. After he reached the peak of the mountain, he went over the mountain peak and there was a vertical sword-like cliff.

He slid down along the cliff. After sliding 20 meters, he threw a punch fiercely and his figure stopped sliding down.

His fist broke a thick layer of snow and revealed a hole. He flew into it and inside was a rather spacious cave.

The cave was as high as a person’s height and its surrounding walls were all made of ice blocks.

A gentle breeze blew in the cave and he shuddered inexplicably.

The breeze inside this cave was even colder than the wind blowing at the mountain peak. If it was not for the circulation of his inner energy, his body that was of flesh and blood simply cannot withstand this cold wind and will be frozen instantly.

Obviously, there was something weird with this breeze. He observed through the Omniscient Mirror and found out that this breeze came from the opposite stone wall. The breeze reached here after a few turns and this weakened the strength of the wind while turning the breeze colder.

He ignored this unusually cold wind. With Sentient Menace protecting his body coupled with his abundant inner energy, he was able to resist the cold for quite a while.

He looked up at the middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged on the ice bed.

This middle-aged man was handsome, with a complexion as fair as jade. He must be a beautiful man when he was young. He was sitting on the crystal clear ice bed motionlessly like he was in Zen.

This person seemed as if he was alive but he was already dead.

The wind here was very strange. It can prevent the body of this middle-aged man from rotting and maintain the appearance of when he was alive.

Using Omniscient Mirror, he examined every inch of this place.

In the cave, there was an ice bed, an ice table, two bowls, a wok and some grains and spices that had not rotten in the corner. These were all for living.

He was a little disappointed. There was no books or Formation. It seemed that this person was not a Formation master and this place may have been set up by someone else.

His gaze eventually fell on a crevice of an ice cube. There was a crystal-clear waist tag the size of a palm stuffed in the crevice. It was similar to the jade tag on his waist.

This piece of waist tag was crystal clear, blending in with the ice cube. If it was not for his Omniscient Mirror, it can only be found if these ice cubes were shattered.

He pulled out the Modesty Sword and stabbed lightly against the waist tag, like a knife cutting a bean curd and then flicked the sword up.

The waist tag flew out and fell onto his hand.

“Boom…,” his consciousness was suddenly engulfed by darkness and he entered a boundless void.

Like a sky that was lit by the first ray of sunlight, blue and dimly lit, a giant glowing in a gentle light was sitting in the void cross-legged, his face amiable and his eyes compassionate. He was looking down at Chu Li.

Making eye contact with this compassionate gaze, a bang struck Chu Li’s mind again and numerous scenes flashed through his mind, like a cursory view.

He suddenly turned into a soldier who was fighting on the battlefield and eventually got his arm severed and died after being stabbed in the heart with a knife. After that, he suddenly became a martial arts master who was fighting with someone and eventually lost and died. Afterwards, he suddenly became a frail old man who did not know martial arts, his strength declining with his old age and he died of illness in the end.

It was as if a long time had passed. It was also as if it was just for a short moment. Chu Li woke up with a jolt. The giant glowing in soft light was still in front of him.

Looking at the eyes of the giant, his compassionate eyes became cold. There was neither sadness nor happiness in his eyes, treating all beings as ants.
