Chapter 713 Mount Zaro
"Please accept this, senior."
Ye Kang handed over the jade slip containing the Azure Dragon's Shadow.
Melotin took it, probed it with his divine sense, and frowned slightly.
This escape technique... is not a problem, but it doesn't seem very easy to learn.
He looked up at Ye Kang again.
Even this kid at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage could grasp the basics in a day, so it shouldn't be too difficult, right? Perhaps my talent for escape techniques is lacking. I'll go back and find a few guys who are good at escape techniques to try it out.
He carefully put away the jade slip and said, "Let me make this clear: this method has been sold to Plum Sword Manor, but it cannot be sold to anyone else. If I find out that you are trying to profit from this, you will bear the consequences."
"Don't worry, senior, I won't do anything shameless."
"Then sit down, the pheasant will be roasted soon."
In high spirits, Merlot returned to the campfire, subtly activating his inner energy, and the aroma of roasted chicken wafted far and wide.
Ye Kang waited patiently, and soon, Melotting handed him a chicken leg.
"Try my cooking while it's hot."
"Your technique is skillful; it's clear you're an expert. The flavor is naturally exceptional..."
After chewing a few times, Ye Kang froze before he could even finish speaking, as an incredibly spicy sensation on his tongue stung the top of his head once again.
Good guy!
This isn't roast chicken with chili peppers; it's roast chili peppers with a whole chicken on top!
Is this a level of spiciness that a human can handle?!
His face instantly turned red, and Mei Niannian, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Melotting looked puzzled: "What? Doesn't it taste good?"
"Great, excellent..."
Ye Kang suppressed the urge to spew fire and forced out a smile that looked worse than crying.
……
Meanwhile, somewhere in the secret realm.
Several powerful figures gathered at the foot of a high mountain, seemingly by chance.
The leader was none other than Shen Guili, the Demon Suppression General. Behind him stood another Inspector General, Su Hongxiu, two Deans, and several martial arts figures, clearly separated from each other.
Su Hongxiu looked up at the towering mountains that pierced the clouds and revealed a wild smile.
"This is Mount Zaro? The location of the Palace of No Mercy?"
Shen Guili remained silent, but the old rogue cultivator replied, "That's right. Since you have never been to the Wushe Secret Realm, you naturally don't know that Mount Zhalo is the protective array of the Wushe Divine Palace. To enter the Divine Palace, you must first pass three trials. Only after passing the three trials can the gate be opened, and then you can pass three more trials upon entering the Divine Palace."
"Doesn't that mean there are also opportunities in the first three trials of Mount Zaro?"
The old rogue cultivator smiled slightly: "Of course, there are rewards for each level. If you feel that you can't pass the next level, you can search for opportunities in the current level. I dare not say anything else, but at least there are treasures in every level."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's rush up and challenge the level now!"
A young swordsman from the martial arts world shouted from behind.
The old rogue cultivator gave him a disdainful look and said, "Then you can go first."
The young swordsman was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look of wild joy.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony! I'll go first!"
The swordsman leaped forward, attempting to completely ignore the foot of the mountain.
However, just as his body reached the foot of the mountain, he was blasted away by an invisible force.
The swordsman had no chance to resist and was sent flying a hundred feet away, smashing a patch of rocks before finally stopping.
Everyone frowned and looked at the old rogue cultivator.
The latter snorted coldly: "You reckless fool, if you want to climb the mountain and pass the test, you must wait until the seventh day when the mountain-protecting formation will automatically activate before you can enter."
"Old man, if it's going to take this long, why did you come so early?"
Su Hongxiu crossed her arms and asked with a smile.
The old rogue cultivator looked slightly angry, flicked his sleeve and turned his head: "Why ask a question you already know the answer to? There is a proper order to climbing the mountain. I am the oldest among the seniors, so I should be the first to climb!"
"Isn't it a bad idea to waste seven days of treasure hunting opportunities just to decide who goes first?"
"What do you know? All the treasures outside combined don't even amount to the amount on the upper level of the Holy Mountain. Instead of wasting time, we should wait here."
The old man gave him a cold look, then sat down cross-legged, determined to be the first to climb the mountain.
The others also sat down, all sharing the same thought: ordinary relics were of little use to them; only the truly valuable treasures within the divine palace were their target.
"What? They've all gone to Mount Zaro?"
On the other side, Ye Kang spoke in surprise, looking at Merlotting opposite him.
Just now, Melodin told the two of them about the Holy Mountain.
Mei Niannian also exclaimed in surprise, "So fast? Weren't we supposed to explore other parts of the secret realm first?"
Meloting remained calm and said, "Lin Donghong went first, and the rest of us have no choice but to follow. If we fall behind, the good stuff will probably be taken by that old guy who came once before."
Lin Donghong was that old rogue cultivator.
He is also the most senior martial arts figure in the secret realm.
When the Unforgivable Secret Realm opened last time, Lin Donghong was not a highly respected senior, but just an ordinary Star Luo Realm expert. Six hundred years later, he has become a leading figure in the martial arts world of Lingquan County.
Ye Kang and Mei Niannian suddenly realized that this made sense; neither of them dared to let this guy, who had been here before, go first.
Meloding looked at Mei Niannian: "Your father sent a message telling me to go there immediately. You two had better come with me."
"Why? We wouldn't be able to help even if we went."
Mei Niannian scratched her head. Indeed, their cultivation was too weak, and they had no chance of competing with those at the Nirvana Realm.
Even the Star Luo after the Five Luminaries can easily defeat them.
Meloting gave Ye Kang a meaningful look: "So far, no demon king has gone to Mount Zhalo, which proves that those dangerous guys are still active in other places. You killed three demon kings, and you still dare to wander around outside?"
Ye Kang opened his mouth, looking helpless.
That's true. I don't know what got into that Spider King, he just had to cause trouble for me.
Staying by Melodin's side now is definitely the best choice.
Moreover, the other party could have simply taken Mei Niannian with them, which would have been safer.
His decision to invite me was an act of goodwill.
Ye Kang immediately cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your consideration, Master Mei. The treasures outside have already been almost completely looted, so there is really no need to waste any more effort."
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now."
With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew, instantly burying the fire, making it impossible to tell that a fire had ever been lit there.
A few plum blossoms drifted down, and the three figures had already disappeared.
The night passed quickly.
The next day at noon, with the help of Meloting, Ye Kang quickly crossed half of the secret realm and arrived at the foot of a huge snow mountain.
The cliff face was as sharp as if cut by a knife, and the higher you went, the more it was covered in snow, making it difficult for birds to fly over.
"arrive."
As Merlot descended, his ethereal aura instantly drew the attention of everyone at the foot of the mountain.
"That is, the head of Meijian Manor."
Why are there two younger people following behind him?
"There's also a Nascent Soul cultivator from the academy, how laughable."
