Chapter 163: Savage Intentions
On Kunlun Mountain’s San Zhang Peak.
This is a towering peak in the Kunlun Mountains, and while the name sounds unusual, the peak itself is certainly not just three zhang high. A height of three zhang would be considered a mound.
The name “San Zhang Peak” comes from several stories, but the most widely known one is that at the peak, there is a spring gushing forth, with mist rising. When sunlight hits it, a three-zhang rainbow appears on the peak, hence the name “San Zhang.”
In the middle of San Zhang Peak, there was a spiritual cave residence. The cave door was tightly closed, with a layer of fallen leaves at the entrance and dust everywhere, indicating it had been sealed for some time. However, on this day, many people stood around the cave entrance from a distance, including two women, one old and one young, who were Golden Core cultivators Yan Luo and Yi Xin.
Meanwhile, within the cave, there was an occasional strange howling sound, like a dragon’s roar or a tiger’s growl. The sounds alternated between intense and subdued, as if some profound principle was resonating with the heavens and earth, making one feel as though a giant beast was about to awaken from a deep slumber.
An inexplicable yet immense power seemed to be hidden within the peak, like a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon, slowly flapping its wings and emitting a faint roar.
Yi Xin’s face was full of worry. Her eyes were fixed on the closed stone door of the cave, and she gripped Yan Luo’s hand tightly, her breathing becoming labored from anxiety.
Although Yan Luo appeared relatively calm, there was a hint of deep-seated anxiety in her eyes.
After waiting outside the cave for a full hour, there was no further unusual sign from within. Instead, the dragon roars and tiger growls gradually subsided.
