Chapter 835: Five Monsters of Hunshan
The Kunwu Realm had a total of eighteen entrances at Kunwu Mountain. Su Chengyu and his companions flew towards the towering Kunwu Mountain and from afar, they could already see a light gate array in a valley ahead, which was the entrance to the Kunwu Realm.
The group landed outside the valley, where cliffs stood on both sides and only a narrow passage led into the valley. There were strong prohibitions overhead, making it impossible to fly directly in; everyone had to enter through the valley.
At this time, outside the valley, there was already a crowd. When Su Chengyu and his party arrived, they saw clear signs of a recent fight, with the air still tinged with residual sword qi. A battle had evidently taken place here not long ago. There were bloodstains, severed limbs, and a few bodies with blood yet to coagulate lying on the ground.
"What happened here?" Cai Zi Feng asked a person nearby.
"The entrance of the valley has been blocked by some people. They say that to enter, one must pay a toll; otherwise, they won’t let you through. Those in the Golden Core Realm and Martial Arts Supremes can enter at will. These people are essentially robbing others in broad daylight. Just now, there were individuals who didn’t want to pay the toll and tried to force their way in, only to be instantly slain here."
"This is outrageous. The Kunwu Realm is a blessing left to all descendants by the Kunwu Immortal. Traditionally, anyone who meets the trial rules of the Kunwu Realm could enter at will. But now, these shameless people are using it to scrape together wealth, their conduct is no different from that of bandits."
The others were also indignant. They weren’t in the Golden Core Realm nor were they Martial Arts Supremes. In fact, among those who entered the Kunwu Realm for trials, very few reached these two realms; the majority were only in the Martial King Realm, and the stronger ones were at most in the Martial Saint Realm.
"To think there are people who would do such despicable acts," Cai Zi Feng said.
"How much toll are they demanding?" Su Chengyu asked.
"Twenty Heavenly Pills per person."
Twenty Heavenly Pills weren’t an exorbitant amount, but this was pure extortion. Practitioners all had their pride, and no one wanted to hand over twenty Heavenly Pills for no good reason.
