185: Chapter 185 The Mysterious Village 185: Chapter 185 The Mysterious Village “Oh, Mr. Cheng, it has been a pleasure cooperating with you, of course I remember our agreement.” The masked man said with a cold laugh, “After getting rid of Miss Luo, I will hand over the Underworld to you.” “That’s good.” Cheng Yi came over with a grin, seemingly indifferent to the injuries on his body, still bleeding from several wounds. When Cheng Yi approached the masked man, the man suddenly raised his hand and placed it on Cheng Yi’s head. A surge of Inner Strength pierced through Cheng Yi’s brain, and his body, no longer supported by strength, slumped softly to the ground. “Ha ha, Miss Luo, to be frank, I also detest those who betray their master for glory. You see, I’ve already cleaned house for you.” The masked man said with a laugh, a laugh filled with pretense. “Thanks so much for that.” Luo Shiqi said sarcastically. This masked man was truly hypocritical, obviously wanting to capture Luo Shiqi while still trying to curry favor with her. “Then let’s go.” The masked man took two steps forward, and Luo Shiqi sighed. The bodyguards outside the club must have been withdrawn by Cheng Yi, and even if they were still there, they would definitely be no match for the cultivator in front of her. Luo Shiqi wasn’t afraid, because she believed that Ye Shikai would definitely come. Suddenly, all the lights in the club went out, and a haunting voice came through the window, “If you want to take her away, you’d have to ask me first.” ... On the Holy Mountain. “Old Ye, where should we go next?” After a night’s rest, everyone planned to continue their journey up the mountain. There were many paths ahead, and it seemed difficult to choose. Ye Shikai took a couple of steps forward, looked at the dirt and leaves on the ground, and said indifferently, “Someone has been here, and they haven’t left long ago.” “Who could it be?” Ji Qian asked. “I don’t know, but I suspect they have a part of the Holy Mountain map. Whoever has such a treasure is definitely not from small origins.” Ye Shikai looked into the distance. “Are you talking about the other Main Gods?” Wang Kai spoke loudly. “If that’s the case, we should hurry on. We can’t let them get ahead of us.” Everyone proceeded up the mountain, when suddenly, Ji Qian pointed in the distance. Looking over, they saw a few wisps of white smoke. Looking further down, there appeared to be a village. Everyone was shocked. Could it be that a group of people have always lived in the Holy Mountain? Ye Shikai suggested checking it out but reminded everyone to be ready and not to underestimate the situation, as the slightest negligence could lead to disaster on the Holy Mountain. They slowly arrived at the entrance of the village and confirmed that this village was not just a mirage but real. Everyone was astounded. At that moment, a group of people rushed out from the village entrance and surrounded them. These people looked no different from ordinary people, except that they all had white hair, whether old, young, or children. “Who are you?” An elderly man leaning on a walking stick slowly emerged from the crowd, and they parted way for him, indicating his venerable status. The old man slowly approached the group and asked faintly. “Respected elder, we come from the base of the mountain. We got lost and unintentionally disturbed your village,” Ye Shikai said, not yet engaging in a fight. He refrained from acting rashly without knowing the relationship between the two parties, and he also sensed a strong energy fluctuation from the old man’s body. This old man was an expert. Although there were people from three Main God Temples here, Ye Shikai didn’t want a battle to break out. After glancing at his companions, Ye Shikai made a terrifying conclusion that all the inhabitants here, even the children, possessed Inner Strength. In a sense, all these people were cultivators. Outside, cultivators are quite rare. To be able to cultivate Inner Strength indicates that one’s aptitude might be above average. Yet here, even the children possessed Inner Strength. Wasn’t that defying the heavens? But then again, this was the Holy Mountain; nothing was impossible. “Clan Leader, I think these people must be bad ones from the outside. I suggest we take action first,” a man beside the old man whispered. “Ha ha, Old Ye, did you see? You don’t want to fight, but that’s not what they’re thinking,” Wang Kai laughed boisterously, showcasing the War God’s combatant nature and indomitability. Wang Kai didn’t know the meaning of restraint. Upon hearing the man’s words, Wang Kai’s Fire Energy flared, and he bellowed, “Kui Tuo Si, Phobos, come and join me.” “Yes, Lord War God,” Kui Tuo Si and Phobos were also two fierce figures, weapons immediately in hand, confronting the villagers. “Wait,” Ye Shikai loudly halted the three. If a battle ensued, both parties would surely suffer losses, and Ye Shikai didn’t want to have casualties before they even reached the mountain peak. “Respected elder, we have no ill intentions. We’re just passing by the mountain and wanted to rest a bit. If it’s not convenient, we will leave immediately,” Ye Shikai addressed the old man. “Clan Leader, we should—” Before the man beside the old man could finish, he was interrupted. “Silence, Fan Wu, there is no logic in resorting to violence at first meeting,” the old man chided. Then, he smiled at Ye Shikai, “Since you are all merely here to rest, of course we welcome you. It has been a long time since our village has had visitors. Please come in.” Ye Shikai patted Wang Kai’s shoulder, and albeit reluctantly, Wang Kai walked in, keeping an eye on the man named Fan Wu, clearly displeased. The old man took Ye Shikai by the hand and said, “Young man, sorry for the disrespect earlier.” “We’re the ones who disturbed your village. We’re really sorry,” Ye Shikai responded. The elder led everyone into an ancestral hall and invited them to sit down. Then he ordered some food to be brought out. “Where do you all come from, and what brings you to the mountain?” “Respected elder, we come from the base of the mountain. We heard that there are historical relics on the mountain, so we came to search for them,” Ye Shikai introduced everyone to the old man. However, he did not share that they came to the Holy Mountain for the Temple of Gods, only offering a pretext. “History? What era is it now?” After hearing the old man’s words, Wang Kai nearly spit out his food. “Old man, are you joking? Nobody here knows the year?” Embarrassed, the old man scratched his head and chuckled, “To be honest with you all, the people of our village have always lived in seclusion on the mountain without much contact with the outside world. Therefore, we are not sure of the exact number of years.” “Respected elder, truly no one has ever visited?” Ye Shikai inquired. “People from outside? Well, it’s not like we’ve had none. Some people came by just a few days ago,” the old man said.
