The next morning, a gentle breeze blew.
Five hundred outstanding individuals gathered outside Liang City, with the city lord Pang Jing personally seeing them off. Fine wine was plentiful, and the city lord's guard, Weapon, stood ready, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Ye Yang stood among the crowd, solitary and alone, with the Breaking Flame Sword and the rusted Haotian Sword on his back, exuding an extraordinary presence.
Not far away, several talented members of the Fire God Clan were present, including National Talent Peng Cheng and Peng Yue'er. It seemed that the Fire God Clan had sent out their elite.
Ye Yang scanned his surroundings and quickly assessed the strength levels of the hundreds of people present. He could generally identify their ranks at a glance; if someone was stronger than him, he couldn't clearly capture their aura and power. For instance, Pang Jing gave Ye Yang a feeling of being unfathomable.
Earth Level Eight was significantly beyond Earth Level Six.
Among the five hundred heroes of Liang City, Peng Cheng was at Earth Level Eight, making him the strongest. Peng Yue'er barely reached Earth Level Seven, while Ye Yang was at the peak of Earth Level Six. The strongest among the remaining hundreds were only at Earth Level Five, with most being mediocre individuals at Earth Level Two or Three.
Feeling somewhat contemplative, Ye Yang thought about entering the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. It was said that there were many Fourth-Stage Beasts lurking near the mountain's edge; encountering them would likely halve this team, resulting in a bloody scene.
However, Ye Yang had grown accustomed to bloodshed. In this world filled with force and conflict, bloodshed was inevitable. Some fought for women, some for the common people, and others for money. In any case, everything that people yearned for was worth some to sacrifice their lives for.
This journey to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range would undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties. Yet if one could obtain a High-Level Beast's Core, it could potentially change a person's life!
A Fifth-Order Beast's Core could take about five years for an Earth Level warrior to refine but could elevate their level dramatically to Earth Level Three or even Earth Level Four. This was the powerful allure of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range!
Death coexisted with strength, drawing countless experts to its depths.
Ye Nantian, Ye Beichi, and Ye Shuang waved goodbye as the group set off on their journey.
There was no captain or officials; the 500-person team wound its way along the mountain path.
Ye Yang walked at the back of the group, carrying the Breaking Flame Sword. When they were about ten miles from the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, the group dispersed on its own, with people forming small clusters as they entered the dense forest.
As night fell, fewer than 50 people remained around Ye Yang, including some young talents from the Fire God Clan.
"Hey, kid, do you want to join us as we head into the Azure Cloud Mountain Range?" a burly man wielding a Battle Axe approached Ye Yang and said in a booming voice.
Ye Yang glanced at him and quickly assessed that he was at Earth Level Two. Someone like him wouldn’t last more than two hours in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range; it would be a burden to bring him along!
So, Ye Yang shook his head and replied, "Suit yourself."
"Hmph!"
The burly man turned away, swinging his Battle Axe and sneering, "You clueless fool! Once you enter the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, watch out—I might just split you in half with one swing!"
Killing within the Azure Cloud Mountain Range went unpunished; this was an unwritten rule. Thus, it was known as a land of death for good reason.
Ye Yang coldly watched the group in the distance. Clearly, many were eyeing him since the Breaking Flame Sword was too conspicuous!
Sitting on a large rock, Ye Yang took some beef from his Cosmic Bag and ate it with Rice Wine. After satisfying his hunger and thirst, he picked up his sword and set off.
Looking again, he saw that Peng Cheng and Peng Yue'er had already paired up and disappeared into the night. Everyone planned to reach the outskirts of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range before dawn, intending to enter the mountains in the morning. Generally speaking, magical beasts had much better night vision than humans; entering the Azure Cloud Mountain Range at night was akin to seeking death.
Not far ahead, looking up, a faint red glow appeared on the distant mountaintop, exuding an enchanting aura.
In front, the low sound of a woman's weeping could be heard.
Several rugged men immediately approached, but under the starlight, it was clear that this was a beautiful young woman, sitting at the edge of the forest and softly sobbing.
"Young Lady, why are you sad here?" one of the men stepped forward, his tone laced with lewdness.
The woman looked up, tears streaming down her face as she said, "My husband is trapped on Mangdang Mountain ahead, unable to move. You gentlemen must help me!"
The man laughed heartily and said, "Don't cry, my lady. Come, let us take care of you..."
As he spoke, his rough hand reached out toward the woman.
At that moment, with a loud "crack," the man let out a pained groan as his arm drooped down; it had instantly broken. A small round stone fell to the ground.
"Who dares to offend me!" the man shouted angrily as he turned around. His companions drew their swords!
Under the moonlight stood a handsome young man proudly in the forest; it was Ye Yang, holding the stone in his hand, his True Qi radiating outward in a deep orange hue.
Instantly, the man and his companions took a deep breath—
"Heavens, orange True Qi! This... this kid is Earth Level Six?!"
For a moment, several people were filled with horror and involuntarily knelt down, loudly begging for mercy: "We are blind and foolish, please spare us a dog's life, Elder!"
...
Ye Yang scoffed disdainfully: "Get lost!"
This world was too ridiculous; facing a strong person, these individuals actually displayed a dog-like demeanor, which was truly astonishing.
Stepping forward, under the moonlight, Ye Yang looked over and saw that the woman was indeed quite beautiful, her delicate face was very charming, and she cried like a rain-soaked pear blossom, evoking sympathy.
"What is your name?" Ye Yang asked.
The woman repeatedly said, "My name is Lu Zhi. I passed through this place, and my husband along with his brothers are trapped at Mangdang Mountain. Please, Young Hero, you must lend a helping hand!"
"Mangdang Mountain? What is your husband's name?"
"Liu Bang, his courtesy name is Ji. Everyone calls him Liu Ji!"
"Ah?!"
Ye Yang was taken aback; even if his knowledge of history was poor, he at least knew the name of Han Gaozu Liu Bang!
Mangdang Mountain, Liu Bang—this is bad; could there be a White Snake here?
...
With a sharp gaze, following the direction pointed by Lu Zhi, there indeed was the mountain peak glowing faintly red. Ye Yang suddenly turned and strode towards Mangdang Mountain, saying, "Madam, you should head home early!"
Lu Zhi stared blankly at Ye Yang's retreating figure, momentarily at a loss.
...
Not far along the way, a strong smell of blood suddenly filled the air. Soon after, several martial artists came running in a panic, looking disheveled and pale, screaming, "Snake, snake..."
Ye Yang smiled, "What's so scary about a snake?"
"Such a big one..."
Before the burly man could finish his sentence, a massive white shadow swooped down. With a "thud," the man was swallowed whole!
Ye Yang looked up, nearly petrified. A giant python lay across the road, effortlessly devouring an Earth Level Four martial artist. With a gulp, it had already swallowed him!
