Chapter 432 (2/2)

Finally, he could not help but ask, “Where is Fang Xingjian now?”

“He should be at the Horned Frogs Valley. After hearing that a storm was brewing there, Xingjian headed over.”

…

On a piece of flat land of the valley, about 300 kilometers away from the Great Western City, the entire sky was filled with dark clouds, as if thunder and lightning would hit any time.

The wind in the valley got increasingly stronger, and as the strong gales blew, the grass lands and the trees continued to tremble endlessly, as if they had gone crazy.

In such circumstances, in the center of the Horned Frogs Valley, a series of loud sounds rang out suddenly from an iron mine.

It sounded as if the earth’s plates had cracked, and an extremely powerful geomagnetic form deep underground had exploded outward.

“Run!”

“Run quickly!”

“There’s an earthquake!”

The people who were working in the iron mine were making their escape as if their lives depended on it. It was unknown whether they were just lucky that everyone had managed to escape safely. Just then, amidst countless astonished gazes, the ground cracked, its jagged edges protruding outward.A stone platform purely made from countless rocks, ores, and earth rose up. It was as if a mountain was being born at a rate that could be seen by the naked eye.

Boom boom boom boom! Amidst the thunderous sounds, the ground continued to push and press against itself, forming a metal mountain that was over three hundred meters tall.

The people at the foot of the mountain went into a commotion. Witnessing the sudden appearance of a metal mountain, they exchanged glances, their eyes filled with terror. They could not understand what had just happened.

Suddenly, someone dropped to their knees, shouting, “Mountain God! The Mountain God is angry!”

“Mountain God! Please spare our lives!”

“Grandfather Mountain God, please be appeased!”

Countless people dropped to their knees and prayed. However, the foreman of the miners frowned. He was a level 9 Knight apprentice and was more knowledgeable compared to the rest. He did not believe in the legends of there being a Mountain God and merely mumbled to himself, ‘Could it be that some kind of treasure has appeared? And that this was done by some expert?’

It was impossible to not attract attention when such an amazing sight had occurred in the middle of the valley. About 15 minutes later, two graceful figures had arrived at the foot of the mountain at the speed of sound, followed by a series of afterimages.

Of the two graceful figures, the person in the lead was a lady with long black hair, who wore a gown and looked as if she was a fairy.

With an arched nose, slender limbs, and mesmerizing eyes, she was constantly attracting attention.

Behind her was a naive-looking young lady.

The two of them were the disciples from a faction in the vicinity, ‘Ice Palace’. The iron mine where the abnormality had occurred belonged to the Ice Palace.

The long-haired lady was the Ice Palace’s female Saint, while the naive-looking young lady was the Ice Palace’s Priestess.

Having not gotten any information from the few foremen, the Ice Palace’s Saint, who was older, lifted her head and looked toward the peak of the metal mountain. She said, “You wait here. I’ll go up and take a look.”

“Sister Saint, don’t do this. I want to go up with you.”

The Ice Palace’s Saint smiled helplessly, saying, “Alright, alright, we’ll go up together then. But you must remember, without my instructions, don’t touch anything.”

“I’ve got it, I’ve got it.”

As the two spoke, their silhouettes flashed and turned into a series of phantom images, leaping up toward the peak of the metal mountain. As level 19 pinnacle Knights, it did not take them long to reach the flat platform on the peak of the mountain. They saw a young man seated there, legs crossed.
