Chapter 229: Hundred Refinements Peak's Fury
Hundred Refinements Peak, its lanterns hung and blazing as brightly as daylight, was filled from top to bottom with a festive air.
Before the towering mountain gate forged from black iron, a lone rider came galloping out of the darkness and came to an abrupt stop.
The Hundred Refinements Peak martial artist carrying the message swung down from his horse and, bypassing the disciples guarding the gate without slowing for a moment, charged straight into the peak.
The disciples guarding the gate recognized him, and since he was their martial uncle by seniority, naturally none of them dared to stop him.
Only they all found it puzzling. From the look of his frantic urgency, it seemed as though something terrible had happened.
Yet Hundred Refinements Peak had gone so many years without any serious trouble. The one thing that had recently drawn any attention was the Great Li Tianjin Guards suddenly moving against Falling God Peak, though as Falling God Peak's disciples they had never for a moment considered that reckless act by the Great Li court any real threat. Beyond feeling a great deal of anger about it, they had no genuine worry that anything would actually happen to Falling God Peak.
"It is probably still about the young city master's business. Perhaps the culprit has already been dealt with and Martial Uncle is rushing back to report."
One of the disciples guarding the gate said this, and the others around him put no more thought into it either.
Very quickly, the Hundred Refinements Peak martial artist carrying the message entered the peak and headed directly toward the summit of the cliff at speed.
