“Even you don’t think you can beat him?” Holy Master Dong Ming could not help but frown .
“Yes, but even if I can’t defeat him, he also can’t easily bring me down . Besides, this is the stronghold of the Ancient Demon Clan . We have the advantage of numbers . Jian Nantian said that they would come alone, so there is nothing to worry about . ”
“The Heaven-ceasing Peak is a forbidden area in the Ancient Demon Clan . No one has been broken the rules and entered it since our clan was founded . Jian Nantian and Jian Wushuang don’t have the right to enter the forbidden ground either!”
“He expects us to hand over her . How ridiculous!”
“Give my order to all our clansmen to prepare for a fight . In less than a month, we must give the disrespectful father and son a good welcome!”
Holy Master Ku Xin’s voice boomed in the palace hall .
The experts of the Ancient Demon Clan listened to him attentively, their eyes teeming with confidence .
There were three Holy Masters in the clan, but Holy Master Ku Xin was the most powerful . The clansmen were convinced that Ku Xin was the Ancient Demon Clan’s best chance in the coming battle .
The death of Holy Master Lei Yi was a huge blow to the Ancient Demon Clan . But as long as Holy Master Ku Xin was alive and well, the experts in Ancient Demon Clan would not lose their confidence .
The experts in the hall dispersed .
Holy Master Ku Xin lept into the air and and soared over pine trees toward a giant mountain in the center of the Ancient Demon Clan .
Tens of thousands of meters high, the giant mountain towered in the sky .
This was a breathtaking mountain, and around it were swirling scarlet currents, which encircled the entire mountain like roaring flames .
This was Heaven-ceasing Peak!
It stood right in the center of the Ancient Demon Clan, but generations of Ancient Demon Clansmen were still in awe of the mysterious mountain .
An old Black Tower lay at the cloud-covered summit of the rocky mountain .
Standing at nineteen stories tall, the Black Tower was massive .
On the nineteenth floor of the tower, a blue-robed woman sat cross-legged on a stone bed . Only silence accompanied her in the dim empty space atop the ancient Black Tower .
The woman exuded elegance, and though she was middle-aged, she still looked attractive with her snow-white skin .
However, the blue-robed woman was chained, both her hands and legs wore handcuffs and fetters made of a special material . Besides, she was trapped by a Restriction . Her Spiritual Power had been sealed, and so had her Bloodline Power .
She had been confined to this Black Tower for over 2000 years, and couldn’t move more than a radius of ten meaters around the stone bed .
Despite her imprisonment, she was calm and composed .
Of course, during the first few days of the 2000 years, she had struggled and was almost driven to madness, but time had calmed her down .
Suddenly…
“Apprentice!”
A strong, old voice penetrated the Restrictions on the giant mountain and passed through the Black Tower .
It reached the blue-robed woman’s ear .
“Master!”
The woman raised her head, looking calm .
The Holy Master Ku Xin, standing on the Void around the giant mountain, fixed his eyes on the old tower . He continued, “I must inform you . A month from now, our clan will have two guests–Jian Nantian and Jian Wushuang . ”
“What?”
The blue-robed woman in the Black Tower jumped up excitedly .
“Master, you promised me . You promised to spare them as long as I stayed here to reflect upon my mistakes!”
“You promised me!”
The desperate howls from the blue-robed woman echoed out from within the tower .
With the yells came a forceful push from the bloodline, and Holy Master Ku Xin frowned .
“More than 2000 years have passed, and she has suffered torment and pain in the Heaven-ceasing Peak . I thought that she would have forgotten them, but she is still thrilled at the sound of their names,” Holy Master Ku Xin thought remorselessly .
“I have kept the promise that I made to you . Since I brought you here, our clansmen have not laid hands on either of them . I punished Jiu Xiu for extracting Jian Nantian’s Sword Soul . We had no intention of turning against them, but now they have threatened to attack our clan!” he continued with a sneer .
“What did you say?” The blue-robed woman was stunned .
“Jian Nantian and Jian Wushuang are coming to attack the clan?”
How is this possible?”
“I have underestimated them . I did not expect either of them to have attained such a high cultivation within 2000 years . Now one of them is a Supervisor of the Samsara Temple . Moreover, he is likely to become the personal disciple of the Samsara Temple Master and he has the battle strength equal to any Holy Master who has reached the Exceptional Realm . He is now my opponent . ”
“The other is your son, Jian Wushuang . Although he is only at the Eternal Realm level, he is so strong that he brought down Holy Master Lei Yi . ”
“They unparalleled talents of the Green Fire World, of the type seen only every billion years . Besides, yesterday they announced that they will break into the Heaven-ceasing Peak and kill anyone who gets in their way,” the Holy Master said coldly . These words also reached the blue-robed woman .
She was even more astounded .
“How did this happen?”
“What’s going on?”
The woman was full of doubts .
Since she chose to enter the Heaven-ceasing Peak, she never expected to be able to see either of them again . She hadn’t even dreamed that they would come to rescue her one day . All she really wanted for them was to live a safe and peaceful life in the Ancient World
But now…
“Apprentice!”
After a pause, Holy Master Ku Xin continued, “You already know the power of our clan and the reality of your situation . No one can save you . ”
“In a month, the battle between our clan and the two of them cannot be avoided . ”
“I promise you that I will not kill them, but I hope you can completely erase them from your mind this time . This is the best solution for our clan as well as for them!”
