  The one leading the group was an old man with silver hair and a haggard face. He was the Hierarch of Hua Mountain.

  After waiting for a few days without any news, they had finally gotten tired of waiting and decided to go out themselves.

  “Huaxia must be in great danger. Maybe the heretical sects have returned before us.”

  “Quick, track them and find out where their jade pendants are now!”

  Someone took out a compass and fiddled with it.

  “That way…”

  They followed the directions of the compass and rushed away.

  On the way, they were surprised by everything they saw and made a fool out of themselves.

  The group of people wearing ancient clothes and acting strangely attracted a lot of attention. Soon, the news reached General Bai.

  Then, he informed Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao was at home crafting an Artifact formation when he received the call.

  “Hua Mountain is here!”

  General Bai’s words shocked him.

  “They’ve just returned?”

  “Yes! It’s in the Hua Mountain Scenic Area. There’s a group of about ten people, and they seem elderly. They should be quite powerful,” General Bai said.

  “Only ten?” Tang Hao was stunned.

  “That’s all we know for now. We don’t have that many personnel over at Hua Mountain,” General Bai said.

  Hua Mountain was a mainstream sect, unlike Yin Mountain. The Agency did not take too many precautions, and no cultivators were stationed there in case they caused a misunderstanding.

  Yin Mountain had to be taken out immediately. Meanwhile, they would stand back and observe Hua Mountain.

  It would be best if they did not fight. After all, Hua Mountain was a famous tourist attraction. Fighting there would attract too much attention.

  “I’ll go over immediately and get in touch with them!”

  Tang Hao pondered for a moment and said.

  “Alright! I’ve already arranged for someone to pick you up! They’ll be there soon!”

  Tang Hao sneaked out of his apartment and avoided the reporters who were waiting at the entrance of the residential area. He got into a car at the back gate and was sent to the nearest airbase before flying straight to Province S.

  As soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up by a car, which directly brought him to Hua Mountain.

  On a road leading to the county town, Tang Hao saw the group of people. All of them had changed into cotton-padded jackets and wore hats. They looked like farmers.

  They were sitting behind an old truck that drove on a bumpy road.

  “Tsk tsk! This is quite magical!”

  “This bumpy ride is quite comfortable!”

  They patted the body of the truck and exclaimed.

  “Follow them!” Tang Hao said to the driver.

  After getting closer, Tang Hao sensed their qi from afar, and his expression changed slightly. All of the ten people were Perfected Persons.

  At that moment, the group of people also noticed him and their expressions changed as they looked at him.

  In the next moment, their eyes sparkled brightly.

  “Ha! He’s voluntarily delivered himself to us!”

  “Hmph! He has a death wish! Let’s capture him first and ask him about the situation! I’d like to see which sect he’s from. How dare he provoke the wrath of Hua Mountain!”

  The group of people laughed coldly.

  They thought that the disappearance of the seven disciples definitely had something to do with that guy.

  “Stop, stop, stop!”

  They slapped the car and shouted.

  “F*ck, we haven’t arrived yet. Why are we stopping? Didn’t you say you were going to the town?” The driver stuck his head out and shouted.

  “Change of plans! You can go yourself!”

  The group of people jumped down one after another.

  “F*ck! Are you taking advantage of my kindness? Fine, I don’t care anyway!” The driver cursed and drove away.

  “Stop!”

  Tang Hao shouted at the driver beside him and glanced at the people in front of him. He suddenly had an ominous feeling. Why did those people look like they were going to fight? Could it be a misunderstanding?

  Perhaps they were being on guard because they had just gotten out of the demi-world.

  He got out of the car and waved at the driver, signaling him to turn away.

  Then, he took a few steps forward until both sides were about five meters apart.

  “Who are you? How dare you provoke Hua Mountain! Tell me, what have you done to Chongyang and the others?”

  The Hierarch questioned sternly.

  Tang Hao was at a loss. “What Chongyang?”

  “Dammit, are you playing dumb? I’ll beat you up first. Let’s see if you’re going to be as stubborn!”

  One of the elderly men jumped out, opened his cloth sack, and took out a tattered flag.

  “Behold the secret treasure of Hua Mountain, the Lightning Banner!”

  He shouted. The flag trembled and crackled with lightning.

  “How is it? My treasure is not bad, right?”

  He smugly held the flag in his hand.

  Tang Hao glanced at the banner. ‘Damn, it’s so ugly and shabby!’ He immediately frowned and showed a look of disdain.

  The elderly man became angry when he saw that.

  ‘How dare that bastard look down upon my treasure!’

  “Hey, what’s with that look? So what if it’s a little tattered? As the saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s very powerful.”

  “Is that so?” Tang Hao said nonchalantly.

  “That’s right. One hit from this banner, and you’ll be crying for your parents!” The old man lifted his chin and said ostentatiously.

  Then, he sized up Tang Hao from head to toe and sneered. “How about you show me your treasure too?”

  “OK!” Tang Hao replied and took out his mirror.

  The two mirrors hovered in the air and were basked in a brilliant light. The light was blinding, and it was too cool.

  When the old man saw it, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

  ‘F*ck! That’s his treasure?

  ‘The design is too beautiful!’

  He felt embarrassed when he looked at his banner.

  ‘F*ck! That’s a world of difference!’

  The other elderly men were also stunned. Then, they started to drool.

  “What a beautiful treasure! I want it!”

  “Nonsense! It’s obviously mine, don’t snatch it from me!”

  The group of elderly men immediately started arguing with red faces.

  “Ahem! Stop arguing. Have you forgotten? I’m the Hierarch! That beautiful treasure has to be mine. I’ll look cool with it.”

  The old hierarch coughed lightly and said matter-of-factly.

  ‘Dammit, he’s shameless!’

  The other people cursed in their hearts, but they dared not say anything.

  Tang Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that. ‘Are those people idiots? They haven’t even defeated me, but they’re already arguing over how to split the loot.’

  “Are we going to fight or not? !” Tang Hao said impatiently.

  “Fight! We’re fighting!”

  The elderly man holding the flag roared.

  He was confident of winning. Not only did he have a higher cultivation base, but the mirror did not look very powerful either.

  Therefore, he was certain that he would win.

  “Take that!”

  He roared and unfurled the banner. The lightning on it flourished and suddenly rushed out, gathering into an incomparably thick bolt of lightning that blasted towards Tang Hao.

  With a mental command, the two mirrors combined into one and fired a thicker and more imposing beam of light. In an instant, it dispersed the lightning bolt and continued to rush forward.

  The elderly man was so shoc
ked that his eyeballs almost popped out.

  ‘What the hell is that?’

  There was no time for him to dodge. He used the banner to block, was sent flying backward, and landed on the ground pathetically. When he looked at his banner, he saw that it was completely torn in tatters.

  “My baby!”

  In an instant, a miserable cry tore through the sky.

  “You died so tragically, Flaggy!”

  The elderly man cried out as he hugged the broken flag and he collapsed onto the ground.

  That was his only treasure! Although she was a little tattered and ugly, she was his most beloved. Her tragic death made him extremely sad.

  The other elderly men were dumbfounded and shocked.

  Their eyes sparkled as they looked at the mirror and gulped hard.

  That mirror was too amazing!

  Not only that, it could split into two mirrors. It would be so cool if they could bring it out!

  “Mine! I must have it! Let me fight him!”

  “Get lost! Go away! I’m your senior brother. How dare you fight with me?”

  The group of elderly men was excited. Facing the temptation of the treasured mirror, no one took the Hierarch seriously. They hurriedly took out their treasures, including a tattered flag, a broken mirror, and a rusty sword.

  They were all different items, but they were equally worn out.

  “Damn! So pitiful!”

  Tang Hao glanced around and could not help but sigh.

  He was a little taken aback when he saw that those people wanted to attack him together. His mirror might be powerful, but with his cultivation, he could not use it too many times and fight against so many people.

  “Hey, what are you doing? Are you thinking of ganging up on me? To think that you are from the righteous and reputable Hua Mountain. How shameless!” Tang Hao shouted indignantly.

  The group of people was stunned. Then, their faces turned red from embarrassment.

  “That’s right! We are from a reputable sect. How can we do such a shameful thing as ganging up on someone? Our reputation would be ruined if word got out!”

  “Senior Brother is right!”

  After delivering several platitudes, they instantly became righteous.

  “I’ll go first!”

  A person jumped out, brandished his broken mirror, and blasted a beam toward Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao rolled his eyes and became more and more certain that those elderly men were all idiots. They were so easily tricked. If it were the Taoist masters from Mao Mountain, they would have all attacked together.

  “So gullible!”

  Tang Hao muttered to himself and activated his mirror, shooting out a beam of light.

  With a crisp sound, the broken mirror shattered.

  “Ah!”

  A heart-wrenching and miserable wail pierced through the sky.

  “You died so miserably, Mirriam!”

  That old guy sat on the ground, clutching the broken mirror and crying.

  Tang Hao was stunned.

  ‘Mirriam?

  ‘Who’s Mirriam?

  ‘Is there something wrong with that guy’s brain?’

  The other elderly men were scared. They hesitated to step up.

  “Humph! That guy’s cultivation base is limited. After firing two beams, he won’t last long. The treasure is mine!” An elderly man jumped out and laughed.

  He raised his hand and the rusty sword flew out. It turned into a golden light and slashed toward Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao did not say anything. He activated the mirror and blasted it.

  The golden light exploded and shattered the sword into pieces of scrap metal.

  The old man’s entire body shook as if he had been struck by lightning.

  Then, with a wail, he began to cry. He was extremely sad.

  “Swordina, we agreed to be together forever. Why did you leave me first?”

  His hands were trembling as he held the scrap metal.

  When Tang Hao heard that, he was dumbstruck again.

  ‘Who’s Swordina?

  ‘Is there something wrong with their heads? How lonely must they be to give their Artifacts names and promise to be together forever?’

  The others were shocked again. After hesitating for a long time, one of them jumped out and took out a small broken seal.

  “Hold on. Is that one called Sealissa?”

  Tang Hao waved his hands and shouted.

  “Hey! How do you know?” That person was stunned.

  “F*ck!”

  Tang Hao was struck speechless.

  After all that fuss, it turned out that they were a bunch of lunatics.

  “Stop the fight! Stop the fight!”

  Tang Hao waved his hand and said. If he broke the seal, that guy would sit on the ground and cry. That would have been an embarrassing scene.

  “Do you think it’s that easy to get out of this fight?” That person was furious.

  Tang Hao put away his mirror and said, “Have you misunderstood something? I don’t know who or what Chongyang is. I just heard that you guys just returned, so I rushed over to meet you.”

  The group of elderly men was stunned.

  They looked at each other and were somewhat suspicious.

  “What’s your name? And who are you?” The Hierarch asked.

  “My name is Tang Hao, and I’m the president of the Huaxia Cultivators’ Union!” Tang Hao cupped his fists and said.

  The Hierarch was stunned. “What? The Cultivators’ Union? What’s that?”

  “Oh! Well, if it were in ancient times, it would be like a clan, and the president is like the clan leader. Do you understand?” Tang Hao explained.

  “The clan leader?”

  They were surprised and looked at Tang Hao carefully.

  “If he’s the clan leader, that means he’s the number one expert in the current cultivation world! No wonder he’s so powerful!”

  “He’s a freak! I thought the cultivation world of Huaxia was doomed! There’s actually such an expert!”

  The Hierarch said to Tang Hao, “To tell you the truth, we sent a few disciples to investigate the situation, but all of them went missing. Who could have held them back if not for you?

  “Since you know about Hua Mountain, then other sects must have returned!”

  “There are!” Tang Hao said.

  “Which one?”

  “Yin Mountain!”

  “Yin Mountain? Dammit, isn’t it a heretical sect? Those guys must be behind it,” the Hierarch said. “Where are they? Take us there quickly and kill them.”

  “I’m sorry, they’re no longer here!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

  “What do you mean that they’re no longer here?”

  “There’s no more Yin Mountain in this world! The whole clan has been exterminated!” Tang Hao said coldly.

  The people of Hua Mountain were stunned. In the next moment, they all gasped in shock and astonishment.

  ‘Oh my god!

  ‘Did I mishear?

  ‘Yin Mountain is destroyed? By the Huaxianese forces no less?

  ‘That was too ridiculous!

  Eight or nine centuries ago, the strength of Yin Mountain was comparable to that of Hua Mountain. They should have grown in strength after so many years, and they should have at least a dozen Perfected Persons. Did the current Huaxia have that many Perfected Persons to match their strength?

  “What? You don’t believe me? I can take you to visit the mountain gate they left behind!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

  The hearts of the people of Mount Hua trembled, and they immediately became solemn.

  It seemed that the modern Huaxia was not as weak as they thought!

  “If it’s not you or Yin Mountain, then who is it?” The Hierarch asked.

  “How would I know!” Tang Hao said helplessly.


  “Hierarch, according to the compass, they’re not far away. We will know when we go and check.” At that moment, an old man came over and said.

  “OK!” The Hierarch nodded.

  Immediately, Tang Hao hailed a few cabs, which drove them to the county town.

  Following the compass, they came to the entrance of the Internet cafe. When they saw a row of four people sitting amid the crowd and playing games happily, everyone was stunned. Even Tang Hao was dumbfounded.

  The Hierarch trembled, and his old face twitched. He almost vomited blood.

  Chapter 776 - This Is Outrageous

  “Penta Kill! Oh my god! Another Penta Kill!”

  “All hail Brother Fang!”

  Another wave of cheers swept through the Internet cafe.

  “Brother Fang, Brother Ma, and the two brothers come, have a cigarette!”

  At that moment, someone went up and eagerly lit up their cigarettes.

  The others were amazed.

  “Amazing! The four brothers are invincible once they’re on the same team! If they join the tournament, they’ll definitely win the championship.”

  “Right, right, right! None of those pros stand a chance!”

  The four people felt very smug when they heard that.

  They might be cultivators, but they were vain. They felt incredibly good when they were flattered that way.

  Then, they took the cigarettes that were handed to them and took a puff. ‘Ah! This is the life!

  ‘This feels so great! How nice it is to live without worries!’

  They had forgotten all about the Hierarch and the mission.

  ‘I like this cigarette, Lil Zhang, Lil Liu! Alright, I’ll carry you two in the next game!”

  Ma Chongyang held the cigarette in his mouth and smiled.

  “Thank you, Brother Ma!”

  The two people next to him immediately became excited.

  “Brother Ma, I have a box of Chunghwa Soft cigarettes! Why don’t you have one?”

  At that moment, someone rushed up and handed Ma Chongyang the cigarette.

  “Haha! Don’t worry. Everyone will have their turn!” Ma Chongyang took the box of cigarettes and shared it with the other three people.

  Outside the internet cafe, the elderly men were so angry that their bodies were trembling.

  “This is outrageous!”

  They clenched their fists tightly, and the veins on their foreheads were popping out.
