Chapter 1856: Chapter 1847: Ascending the Mountain for an Audience with the Saint?

"Then what can be done? With so many Daoist Masters gathered on the mountain, do you still want to force your way up there?" someone spoke.

Forcing a way up is obviously not possible, unless you wish to seek death.

A Daoist Master, each is an existence standing nearly at the pinnacle of the world, capable of crushing everyone present with a wave of their hand. No matter how brilliant a genius you are, in the face of a Daoist Master, you are as weak as an ant.

"Alas, it is, after all, the Divine King Tomb. The Divine Kings who guarded our Holy Realm in ancient times, each had immeasurable powers. Now that the Divine King Tomb has appeared in the world, even the Realm Gods of this era cannot help but be tempted. It’s a pity that after going through countless hardships to get here, we find this place occupied by those Daoist-level powers..."

Though they were unwilling, everyone could only complain a few sentences, not daring to rashly charge up the mountain.

Otherwise, if they offended the great figures on the mountain, no one would be able to bear the wrath.

They waited at the foot of the Snow Mountain, reaching here with great difficulty, and while they dared not ascend, they were reluctant to just leave.

"Huff..."

No one knows how much time passed when suddenly, from the deep forest behind the crowd, the sound of wind sweeping over was heard, attracting everyone’s instinctive gaze. It was a team of several hundred people arriving here.

"Hmm?"

At the moment this team arrived, Mo Wangchen, Li Mu, and others couldn’t help but frown.

The leader of this team was none other than Nalan Kang!

Nalan Kang’s appearance immediately caused tension among the Holy City forces.

A top expert of the Reverse Life Realm’s sixth level had finally hunted them down here.

"Surround them for me!"

Sweeping his eyes over the entire scene, Nalan Kang spotted Mo Wangchen’s group and immediately ordered, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"Swish!"

With a command, the troops accompanying Nalan Kang instantly surrounded Mo Wangchen’s group of nearly three hundred, as if a grand battle was about to ensue.

All around, the other geniuses present instinctively retreated, clearly seeing the enmity between Mo Wangchen and Nalan Kang, fearing it would be resolved here.

They certainly did not want to get involved, opting instead to watch from the sidelines.

"If I’m not mistaken, this must be Nalan Kang from the Tianxuan Universe?"

"What terrifying strength. It’s rumored he entered the sixth layer of the Reverse Life Realm, making him one of the top experts among all the Star Children present in the Divine Domain today!"

Some people guessed Nalan Kang’s identity and couldn’t help but show fear in their eyes.

A master at the sixth level of the Reverse Life Realm, within this Divine Domain, is nearly considered the top expert below a Daoist Master.

"Mo Wangchen, you killed my brother. Today, I will ensure you have no place to rest in death!"

From Nalan Kang’s direction, a burly young man stepped forward, his face filled with sorrow, and his eyes coldly fixated on Mo Wangchen.

This burly man was none other than Zhuge Ye’s brother, Zhuge Qing.

This person had already had conflicts with Mo Wangchen back in Yunyi City.

"I’m not saying I won’t die, but thinking you can kill me—you’re overestimating yourself." Mo Wangchen looked at Zhuge Qing indifferently, sneering disdainfully.

At this stage, someone like Zhuge Qing was a small fry he could crush with a finger.

"Oh? This is Mo Wangchen?"

"Once ranked first on the Top 100 List, it’s rumored his cultivation is only at the first level of the Reverse Life Realm, yet he possesses the power to slay those at the fourth level. I wonder what enmity he has with Nalan Kang?"

Hearing Zhuge Qing’s address of Mo Wangchen, many present couldn’t help but be surprised.

While conversing, everyone couldn’t help but scrutinize Mo Wangchen, eager to see what was special about this legendary figure.

"Do you really think that by having killed a few people at the fourth level of the Reverse Life Realm, you’re invincible?"

Amidst the discussions, Nalan Kang stepped forward, his eyes flashing with even more cold intent as he openly declared his desire to kill, his gaze fixed on Mo Wangchen. He continued, "Daring to provoke even me, you’re simply courting death!"

"I never claimed to be invincible, nor are you. If we really fight, life and death are uncertain. Bring whatever skills you have to bear; what am I to fear?"

Mo Wangchen said calmly, meeting his gaze. At this point, the battle was evidently unavoidable; he could only fight with all he had. At worst, he could employ Realm Power. Killing him might not be as easy as Nalan Kang thought.

"Very well, quite arrogant indeed. I want to see just how capable you really are!" Nalan Kang squinted his eyes, the murderous intent in them intensifying.

"Huff..."

Suddenly, just as the tension reached its peak, a sound of wind breaking came from the distant void.

Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to see a gray figure, an old man, crossing the air, as if capable of Shrinking Ground into Inches, each step covering no less than a thousand feet.

In just a few short breaths, the gray-clad elder arrived overhead, and from the aura emanating from him, the onlookers could easily guess that he, too, was a Daoist Master level powerhouse.

"Hmm?"

The gray-clad elder’s eyes instinctively scanned the crowd below, and then his face froze as he spotted Nalan Kang.

"Greetings, Master!"

To everyone’s surprise, when the gray-robed elder’s gaze swept over, the ever-arrogant Nalan Kang adopted an exceptionally respectful manner, bowing from afar to greet the elder.

"Master?"

"So the rumors were true. Nalan Kang, hailed as the first genius of the contemporary Tianxuan Universe, studied under a Daoist Master in his youth."

"If I’m not mistaken, this gray-clad elder must be the ’Daoist Xingyao’?"

People around engaged in loud discussions. Nalan Kang was born in the Star Shine Realm of the Tianxuan Universe, and the Nalan family is indisputably the foremost family in the Star Shine Realm.

Rumor had long it that when Nalan Kang was born, a cosmic anomaly occurred in the Star Shine Realm, even startling the Daoist Xingyao to appear, ultimately taking Nalan Kang as his disciple.

Apprenticed to a Daoist Master, across the nine major universes, how many can boast such heaven-defying fortune as Nalan Kang?

While Man City was in shock, the newly arrived Daoist Xingyao in the sky merely nodded slightly at Nalan Kang and then said, "I happened to be looking for you. Since you’re already here, come with me to ascend the mountain and face the Saint."

"Face the Saint?"

The words shocked not only Nalan Kang but Mo Wangchen and everyone present.

In today’s world, what kind of existence could be called the Saint before a Daoist Master level powerhouse?

Could it be that on this Snow Mountain, a Realm God level expert truly has arrived?
