C291 Arriving early, Mount Nine Daos

The next day, the fiery red sun broke through the shackles of the horizon and leaped out of the caved in mountain range. In an instant, the warm sunlight blew away the white mist on the mountain range and filled the land.

At the summit of the mountain, Mu Yichen slowly stood up and took out a set of grey robes from within the jade ring. This set of robes was what had worn the day the Nine Gates visited them to forcefully break off the engagement.

Mu Yichen reached out his mind, randomly washed his face, and immediately afterwards, he untied the Terminator ancient devil knife on his back. His hands gripped the sword hilt tightly, and when he flipped, a sharp force seemed to tear the surrounding air, but following this gust of wind, the Terminator ancient devil knife was actually hidden behind Mu Yichen's skin.

The moment the Terminator Profound Beast entered Mu Yichen's skin, a wave of energy surged within his meridians. Then, it slowly transformed into a set of armor.

Beneath the armor, Mu Yichen's slender body could clearly be seen. His seemingly weak body hid a kind of berserk strength that could erupt at any time.

Pei Ning, Feng Meng, Shu Shengyu, and Hei Zi slowly woke up. Seeing the indifferent Mu Yichen, they all had a strange confidence in themselves.

"Pill Tomb, should we set off?"

"It's time to set off. Three years and six months. Isn't that the day we've been waiting for!?" Narrowing his eyes, Mu Yichen let out a deep sigh as he flew through the air.

Feng Meng, Shu Shengyu and Hei Zi followed closely behind, but Pei Ning walked shoulder to shoulder with Mu Yichen. After approximately an hour, Mu Yichen and the rest landed on a towering mountain. He raised his eyes and stared at the silver-white gigantic mountain range in the distance. One by one, they stood tall and upright. Faintly, numerous cold shouts soared into the sky from the mountain range.

"Nine Gates, in less than five years, I, Mu Yichen, have come."

The Nine Gates was the most powerful sect in the West Mainland. It had been passed down continuously for thousands of years, allowing this ancient sect to stand at the peak of the Yan Kingdom.

Although the Garcia College was stronger than the Nine Gates, the former was still a student, and was not part of the sects. Thus, the strongest sect in the West Mainland was still the Nine Gates.

However, although the Garcia College did not easily step foot into the bloody slaughter between the sects, it was able to balance the various strong clans within the various sects within the West Mainland. It was for this reason that the Nine Gates did not dare to rule over the West Mainland. It was also because of this reason that the ambitious Nine Gates Lord, Mo Shuo, had always stopped at a certain point because he was afraid of the existence of the Garcia College.

Towards the Nine Gates, the Great Clan Elder, Weng Gu, also maintained relative silence. As long as Mo Shuo was not excessive, he would not interfere, because he knew that Mo Shuo's origins were not as simple as what the strong clans of the West Mainland had seen.

It was said that all nine of the mountain ranges were covered with magma. Although it was just ordinary magma, it made countless Rankers afraid to enter the Nine Gates encampment. Rumble …

He once had a clan that was on par with the red race in attacking the Nine Gates's encampment. In just a few short days, thousands of Peak of the Earth Martial Arts s had fallen, and there were even two experts at the third level of Tianwu.

As a result, today's duel in the Nine Daos Mountain had also attracted the attention of thousands of experts surrounding the Jincheng.

That year, the young man had said that he would definitely seek justice in the Nine Gates within five years. Although it was not five years, the young man already possessed the qualifications to fight against Nine Gates's Young Clan Master Shen Xinyi.

He had finally come, but Mu Yichen was not in a hurry to rush to the towering Nine Daos Mountain. Instead, with Pei Ning as his companion, she leisurely walked towards the end of the line of sight, towards the silver-white mountain peak which pierced the clouds.

Tens of thousands of steps, every step's height and size was exactly the same. On the smooth stairs, a young man in grey armor was accompanied by a woman in white, walking forward step by step. On the two sides of the stairs, the disciples of Nine Gates were watching like tigers stalking their prey. However, they had all received their orders, so they did not stop the young man with a calm and handsome face.

With how easy it was to walk, Mu Yichen's aura was not in the least bit disturbed. However, with every step he took, the three martial qi s in his body revolved, trying to sense if there really was normal lava under the Nine Dao Mountain.

Regardless of what kind of rumors and legends the outside world had about Nine Dao Mountain, since Mu Yichen already had the qualifications to be a Earth-Array Master, he had to personally feel for himself. If there were to be, then the situation after that would definitely change.

When the sun that had broken through the mountain range's concavity slowly rose up into the sky, Mu Yichen finally stopped moving. Standing on the slope, he looked around at the robust bodies, then activated the martial qi.

"Damn, is there really magma under the Nine Gates?" Her heart quivering, Mu Yichen tried to probe once again and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the magma was only ordinary magma, if it was the magma from the five elements, it would be difficult for him to leave safely.

In the belly of the mountain, Mu Yichen once again ascended a few kilometers. After that, he raised his eyes and looked at the ancient object that had already existed for a thousand years.

Above the stone door, the three big words "Nine Gates" were relatively eye-catching. Astonishingly, there were dozens of sect disciples standing on both sides of the door, and from the air fog that lingered around these disciples' bodies, one could determine that they were strong individuals at the middle stage of the earth martial arts.

The deep light in his eyes passed through the spacious stone door and locked onto the end of the stone steps. At that location, it was as if the sound of a sword could be heard echoing within the mountain forest, causing one's heart to be at ease.

"Soul Burying Pill Tomb, please!" In his eyes, it seemed that no matter how many practitioners of Mu Yichen's level there were, the Nine Daos Mountain would be his burial grounds for souls.

After being silent for a while, the corners of Mu Yichen's mouth raised into a strange smile. He moved his body, lightly stepped, and finally passed through the ancient and spacious stone door.

For this moment, Mu Yichen had worked hard for three years and six months!

The moment Mu Yichen's feet touched the ground, Pei Ning clearly felt that there was a trace of disorder in the aura of the youth beside him, and within the disorder, a towering killing intent seemed to have explosively rushed out.

Mu Yichen's chest was filled with an unexplainable emotion when he had finally reached this step. His gaze was fixated on the stone platform that was step by step, and his gaze seemed to pass through many obstacles and lock onto the bodies of the people in the plaza at the summit. He seemed to be searching for the woman that had caused him so much humiliation all those years ago.

Until now, Mu Yichen had never seen that woman who he hated to the bones.

The reckless agreement that the youth had made back then had caused the youth to change step by step in his journey. This kind of change had grinded away his immaturity, and had witnessed his growth; however, three years ago, it was a humiliation and ridicule within the Mu Estate. Each and every word was branded onto Mu Yichen's heart, making him unable to and not dare to forget it.

"Shen Xinyi, under the all-out nurturing of Nine Gates Mo Shuo, I hope that you do not lose too quickly, or else I will be disappointed." The corner of her mouth twitched, and under her calm emotions, Mu Yichen slowly spat out these words.

At the end of the stone steps, there were clouds and mist swirling around. Beneath the thick clouds, there was a huge public square. The ground of the square was paved with bluish boulders of similar size, giving it a solemn and dignified appearance.

In the center of the plaza, there was a huge stone tablet, on it was recorded the history of the Nine Gates, as well as the people who had contributed greatly to the sect, as well as the changes in the Elders Guild. However, after closer inspection, the namelist of the Elders Guild had changed a few times during the thousand years in the Nine Gates.

Looking around the plaza, there were almost ten thousand people seated cross-legged. All of them were dressed in green robes and on the chest of their clothes, there were different symbols embroidered according to their martial qi level. In front of everyone's legs was a weapon. The grade of the weapon was also different. However, each weapon emitted a wave of air, causing the entire place to appear as though it was in a pressurized space.

At the center of the square, between the two wings, the height of the steps gradually decreased. It seemed that the seats were arranged according to the sect's ranking in terms of strength.
