Chương 181: Wan Dashan

Chapter 181 One Hundred Thousand Mountains Chi You, the newly appointed high priest of the Jiuli tribe.

After the incident involving demons and monsters, Emperor Shennong finally realized the wolfish ambitions of the Jiuli tribe and issued an edict to hold them accountable. In order to preserve their human status, the Jiuli tribe sent Chi You to Lieshan City as a hostage to demonstrate their determination not to rebel.

Chi You was a born overlord, possessing the same qualities as Goujian. During his time in Lieshan City, he worked hard to gain acceptance from the human race.

He risked his life countless times to save the people of humanity.

He often set aside his status and mingled with ordinary people, warming their hearts like the sun.

When the Wei River burst its banks and threatened to turn the vast land into a swamp, Chi You stepped forward, burning his own Wu clan bloodline to forcibly transform into a half-baked Great Wu, plugging the breach in the dike and saving countless people.

His actions won him a large following and the trust of the human race's leadership.

Under these circumstances, the human race's leadership had no choice but to trust Chi You. After all, Chi You had made enormous sacrifices to save the human people and enjoyed immense prestige among them. If the human race's leadership continued to treat Chi You like a rebel, it would be extremely difficult to maintain their support.

Through his own efforts, Chi You not only returned safely to the Jiuli tribe, but also, with the support of the human race, secured his position as the high priest of the Jiuli tribe.

However, Chi You had not truly relinquished his ambition. His desire to become the Human Emperor had never wavered. Moreover, the Jiuli tribe was originally a pawn in the Wu tribe's scheme to control the destiny of the world's protagonist, and the still-developing Chi You had no way to defy the will of the Wu tribe.

After returning to the Jiuli tribe, Chi You outwardly firmly supported the rule of Emperor Shennong and closely united with the human race's high-ranking officials centered around Emperor Shennong. However, behind the scenes, he began to engage in underhanded tactics.

The Golden Spirit Mother discovered Chi You's subtle actions, which led to her being surrounded by the Jiuli tribe's experts.

"That Eight Spirits Primordial Saint was originally a demon god of the demon race. After he discovered the Witch Clan's plan, he wanted to use my Xuanmen to sabotage it. This person dared to plot against your Senior Sister Jinling. If you encounter him, you should know what to do."

After the Tongtian Sect Leader explained the whole story, he issued a second decree to Fang Yang.

Before becoming a saint, he was a notorious killing god in the primordial world. Anyone who dared to plot against the Three Pure Ones, regardless of their cultivation level, was doomed. After becoming a saint, in order to avoid causing widespread suffering, his bloodthirstiness diminished considerably.

Unexpectedly, his benevolence was mistaken for weakness, and a mere demon god actually plotted against his personal disciple.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yang immediately bowed and accepted the order: "This disciple knows what to do."

Since the Eight-Spirited Primordial Saint dared to plot against the Jie Sect, he must pay the price. Not only the Eight-Spirited Primordial Saint, but anyone who plots against the Jie Sect will be shown by Fang Yang what it means to "have already chosen the path to death."

After leaving Jin'ao Island, Daoist Qianyao and his group bid farewell to Fang Yang. They were going back to organize their own Daoist temples and enter seclusion to cultivate the newly acquired array formations and spatial laws.

Fang Yang specifically instructed them to master the laws of space. They would need to use the laws of space when they emerged from seclusion again.

All the immortals knew that Fang Yang would not speak without purpose; they were all determined to cultivate themselves into something remarkable.

After parting ways with the immortals, Fang Yang wasted no time. He interlaced his hands and inscribed a Void Teleportation Array in the void. A series of array runes flashed in the void, and Fang Yang had already changed time and space, arriving outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The Ten Thousand Mountains, located deep in the Southern Wilderness, were once the ancestral home of a ferocious beast clan. For countless eons, this place has been shrouded in poisonous gas and miasma that have existed since the creation of the world, and the mountains are densely covered with various poisonous plants, flowers, and insects.

Therefore, very few orthodox immortals are willing to set foot in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Those who hide in the Ten Thousand Mountains are mostly powerful but secluded practitioners from other sects, or wandering cultivators who have nowhere else to turn.

Fang Yang stood outside the Ten Thousand Mountains, gazing at the endless, desolate mountain range shrouded in gray-black miasma, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

He wasn't afraid of Chi You himself, but rather of the Wu tribe behind Chi You.

Although the Wu Clan has declined, it still has three powerful mid-stage Quasi-Saints—Xing Tian, Xiang Liu, and Jiu Feng—who are in charge, and there are also quite a few Great Wu Clan members at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

With his current cultivation level, he has little to worry about in a one-on-one fight against a Great Luo of the Witch Clan. However, if the twelve Great Luo Witches set up the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, he would have to flee at the mere sight of them.

Fang Yang had a sense of shame. The Wu Clan dared not kill him, but they dared to humiliate him, making him, like Guang Chengzi, a laughingstock throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Fang Yang is currently engaged in a magical duel with Daoist Duobao, and he doesn't want any scandals to surface at this time.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength. If he had enough strength, why would he need to fear the Witch Clan?

"It shouldn't be that bad. Since Master sent me here, he must have calculated everything in advance."

Fang Yang composed himself, took a step, and entered the Ten Thousand Mountains.

As soon as he entered the Ten Thousand Mountains, he summoned the Sky-Waving Cloak. The Sky-Waving Cloak was a very powerful defensive magic weapon. Under its protection, the poisonous gas and miasma in the mountains could not harm Fang Yang in the slightest.

Saving lives was of utmost urgency; he had no time to appreciate the mountain scenery. He simply pressed on, heading towards the Valley of Evil Poison.

Having traveled countless miles, Fang Yang's eyes still only saw mountain ranges upon mountain ranges. As he ventured deeper, the miasma and poisonous gases in the mountains became increasingly dense, preventing even the sunlight from penetrating.

Suddenly, Fang Yang's divine sense caught the sound of a battle.

Three hundred billion miles to his left front, a totem array suddenly took shape. Nine experts from the Jiuli tribe, each with ancestral witch totems tattooed all over their bodies, exuded overwhelming power. Together, they trapped a human Taiyi Golden Immortal within the array.

"Gongsun Xuanyuan, don't you dare escape!"

"You young human, you have repeatedly thwarted the High Priest's plans. Now, you even dare to attempt to ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor. The High Priest has already ordered us to leave you forever in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

The trapped human Taiyi, dressed in a bright yellow Taoist robe, had a handsome face and a calm demeanor. Although surrounded by Jiuli experts, he remained completely composed. Yin-Yang divine talismans surrounded his body, and a divine sword slashed in all directions, causing the great formation to tremble precariously.

However, Fang Yang could tell that this person was forcibly unleashing his magical power. After all, it was an attack by nine Taiyi Golden Immortals, and they had even formed an array. Most people would be lucky to survive such an encounter, let alone contend with them.

In this situation, Fang Yang was ready to make his move.

If he saw two humans fighting, Fang Yang would remain neutral. But now that the future Human Emperor is under siege, it's too difficult for Fang Yang to turn a blind eye.

"You Jiuli tribe are indeed still up to your old tricks. Very well, I will kill you first, and then destroy the Jiuli tribe."

Gongsun Xuanyuan was besieged by nine Taiyi Golden Immortals, barely holding on by sheer willpower, his magical energy nearly exhausted. Even so, he refused to yield in the face of defeat.

Just when Gongsun Xuanyuan thought he was doomed, suddenly, nine bolts of lightning descended from the sky at the same time, striking the nine experts of the Jiuli tribe.

These nine divine lightning bolts appeared abruptly, tearing through endless space and time. They appeared and fell in an instant. The moment the experts of the Jiuli tribe saw the divine lightning, they were already struck by it.

An endless surge of destructive power annihilated everything, ending all existence; even the very fabric of heaven and earth came to a standstill in an instant.

Where the divine lightning struck, the nine experts from the Jiuli tribe didn't even have time to scream before their souls were scattered and turned to ashes.

The Ancestral Witch Totem Formation that had trapped and killed Gongsun Xuanyuan also lost its support instantly and collapsed with a crash.

Gongsun Xuanyuan, holding the divine sword, stood frozen in place, staring blankly into the void.

He was prepared to die with his enemy, but unexpectedly, his enemy was wiped out inexplicably.

He was also shocked by the sudden divine lightning. If the lightning had struck him, his fate would have been similar to that of the Jiuli tribe experts who were chasing him.

Fortunately, the person who came had no ill intentions towards him; they had come specifically to rescue him.

"Which Daoist Master from the Jie Sect intervened to help?"

Gongsun Xuanyuan had already recognized that the divine lightning that had just struck was the Shangqing Divine Lightning. Anyone capable of unleashing such a powerful lightning technique must be a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

No one appeared in the void; only a voice came from the depths of the miasma: "This Hundred Thousand Mountains is not a place to stay for long. Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, it would be best to leave quickly."

Gongsun Xuanyuan, recalling the danger he had just experienced and the various schemes of the Jiuli tribe, knew that now was not the time to investigate who had made the move. He cupped his hands in the direction from which the sound came and quickly flew away from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
