Chapter 903: Ten Passes (2)
All this time, their master had never fought for anything. He neither expressed joy nor anger, and always seemed like an emotionless machine. But now, for the first time, they witnessed a side of him filled with thunderous wrath.
The one he had slain was none other than the infamous Blood Demon Du Hengjiu, a truly despicable monster. The act had been swift, brutal, and incredibly satisfying. Someone in the crowd even broke into a cheer.
The old long-haired horse, as if fully assimilated with Li Xiaofei’s calm demeanor, remained utterly unshaken. It carried him forward with unwavering steadiness, heading toward the rear of the rocky cultivation field.
Beyond lay another cliff that plunged into a bottomless void. A familiar iron-chain immortal bridge stretched outward from the stone ledge, vanishing into the misty mountains in the distance.
Clink. Clink.
The sound of chains colliding echoed crisply and coldly through the mountain air. The old long-haired horse advanced at a leisurely pace, carrying Li Xiaofei forward. The others followed one by one. Thick fog blanketed their surroundings. It was difficult to see anything beyond ten meters at all.
“This fog... something’s not right,” the old monster muttered. “It must be another of those immortal sect tricks. Despicable, truly... Everyone, be careful—”
Before he could finish his warning, a gentle breeze stirred. It was as soft as the spring wind melting snow. In an instant, the heavy fog in the mountain ravine vanished completely, leaving not even a wisp. Everyone turned to look at the figure seated atop the long-haired old horse.
Who else could it be? It had to be their master, displaying yet another divine feat. Li Yiyun suddenly felt that all his earlier worries had been unnecessary. From the beginning of this journey until now, it seemed that nothing in this world could stop their master’s advance.
But then again, Li Yiyun reminded himself that this was merely the trial before reaching Heaven Drum Mountain. Each checkpoint had only a single guardian.
Once they arrived at Heaven Drum Mountain itself, the Myriad Immortals Conference would be underway. There, countless cultivators would gather, especially the sect masters, protectors, and elders of the Sixteen Great Immortal Sects. Every one of them stood at the pinnacle of this world's immortal path.
Even ants, in great enough numbers, could kill an elephant. At that point, not even their master might be able to withstand everything alone. That thought stirred something in Li Yiyun’s heart. He and the others needed to do something.
