Chapter 141 141: Threat



The woman ran down the mountain, without stopping, yet she was unable to catch up to the people from the Divine Realm who were traveling down much faster, even though it appeared as if they were simply strolling. 

The people from the Divine Realm stopped as they reached the bottom of the mountain, away from the spatial restrictions of the mountain. 

The old man clenched his fist, opening a small portal before him back to the Divine Realm, unaware that the person he thought to be dead was still alive. 

By the time Aria finally caught up to them, she only saw the back of the last person, who stepped inside the portal in front of her eyes. She rushed toward the Portal, jumping to enter as well. However, before she could even touch it, the portal closed. 

Aria fell on the ground, unable to even touch the portal. The people who could take advantage of the situation to kill Xu Shan were gone. 

She knew her capabilities and knew that she couldn't kill him either. Let alone kill him, she couldn't even get close to the person in the first place. 

The only thing she could do was to leave this place before Xu Shan woke up. 

Her cold eyes looked towards the peak of the mountain. Her mind kept telling her that she had to leave but her heart kept telling her to kill that bastard who ruined her life. 

In the end, she decided to listen to his heart. She was very weak at the end of the day. The first thing she had to do was gather strength, using her vast knowledge. At the same time, she also wanted to find her old allies. 

She inhaled deeply, and with a composed heart, bolted forward without a backward glance.

Xu Shan lay in the center of a crater, his blood-stained clothes clinging tightly to his body. Oddly, there were no wounds or injuries on his body, and his complexion looked healthy contrary to his prior pale appearance.

Similarly, his breathing was also stable. Looking at him, no one could have said that just a short time ago he was gravely injured. It was as if he was peacefully sleeping and nothing more. 

If there was something even more shocking, it was the fact that the Snow Mountain had completely disappeared now. Not a single trace of the mountain or the snow could be seen in that place, as if it was completely devoured. 

The news about the Giant Mountain's disappearance spread like fire, making many powerful people from this Domain come to this place. 

Amongst them was the Sect Master of the strongest nearby sect in this world. 

For the time being, not a single person dared to enter too deep into this area, wondering if the mountain was destroyed by the Dragon because he was furious about something. Or was there an even more dangerous beast?

It was only when the Sect Master of the Strongest Sect arrived that the group finally had the courage to enter the area. 

The old sect master was in the least, but even he couldn't believe the level of destruction. Even if he wanted, he could've destroyed even the smallest part of the mountain, yet there was someone or something who destroyed the entire mountain, without leaving any trace behind. 

He could only imagine just how strong that person was. 

As the old man reached near the area where the center of the mountain used to be, he grew even more stunned. 

There was a deep crater before his eyes, and in the center of that crater was a young man, whose chest was covered in blood. 

The man's attire also didn't look ordinary. And what was even more shocking was the ring that the young man was wearing. 

They were clearly storage rings, and of the highest quality that he had ever seen! These rings weren't something that could be afforded by an ordinary person. 

Even he himself didn't have a single ring that was as previous, meanwhile the boy had many more precious rings on his fingers. He didn't know who this man was, but that man was clearly still alive. 

"How can that young man survive a destruction of this level?" Another person asked, also noticing that Xu Shan was breathing. 

The Sect Master brushed his fingers through his long white beard, thinking about something.

"Unless... He is the one who caused this destruction?" The Sect Master spoke his thoughts out loud. Those rings, the destruction and the fact that the man had blood on his chest yet was still relatively unharmed.... That could only signal one thing to him. 

Hearing the old man's words, all the people nearby took cold breaths. 

"How can that be? He's barely twenty from what I can see!" The Sect Master of a Smaller Alchemic Sect responded. However, in the back of his mind, even he found that thought to be crazy. If the young boy was really behind it, then he was really a monster! 

"If that's the case, we should kill him! What if he wakes up and starts attacking everyone else? We can't let such a dangerous person roam freely!" A middle aged person exclaimed, revealing some fear. 

If a person like this could flatten an entire mountain and kill the Guardian of the Mountain, then what was to stop him if one day he decided to destroy them all? Could they really take that risk?

The white bearded man frowned at the suggestion, but the response from the others was quite different. Hearing the warning from the middle aged man, the others also started voicing their opinion. They were all scared of the unknown!

If they could take out this threat while the young boy was still out cold, this was the perfect opportunity for them. It was better than regretting it later. 

"He's right! He's too dangerous! We should kill him!"

"Kill him!"

One after another, more and more people started demanding that. Most of them even pulled out any weapon that they had, and stepped forward themselves to take care of this, thinking about the dangers.
