Chapter 1225: Chapter 1224: Punk, think I was born scared? (3 more updates)

”Even if they made the first move, you shouldn’t have struck so heavily! Are you not afraid of any misunderstanding arising between us and the Ji Family because of this?” Now that he had recognized Ye Haochuan’s strength, Ouyang Zhu spoke more politely.

”If someone called you a monkey, wouldn’t you strike just as hard as I did?” Ye Haochuan asked with great interest.

”This...” Ouyang Zhu was suddenly at a loss for words.

As they say, every strong person has their pride. If he were insulted, he would definitely severely injure them, perhaps even kill them directly.

”I sincerely apologize; my subordinates were ignorant!” Ouyang Zhu politely cupped his hands in apology before addressing Ye Haochuan, ”However, our Ji Family has an important matter here. Could you temporarily leave for a moment? Once our business is perfectly concluded, there will be a generous reward.”

Ye Haochuan chuckled inwardly, thinking Ouyang Zhu wasn’t actually intimidated but rather concerned that fighting him would hinder the Ji brothers’ climb.

”I’m sorry, I’m also here at the Four Holy Mountain for a purpose. If all goes well, I should leave soon. If you let me take what I came for, I promise to leave swiftly!” Ye Haochuan replied with a smile.

”May I ask what it is that you need?” Ouyang Zhu inquired ”politely,” adding, ”Pardon my frankness, but only those below the Core Formation can enter the Four Holy Ridge. Although I’m unsure of how you’ve hidden your cultivation, you certainly couldn’t ’fool’ the Four Holy Peak!”

Ouyang Zhu was convinced that Ye Haochuan had used something to conceal his cultivation, believing it was impossible for someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage to wield such power.

This erroneous assumption caused him to ease his guard against Ye Haochuan. As long as he wasn’t competing with the Ji brothers for the Four Holy Peak, he didn’t mind whatever Ye Haochuan wanted.

”I naturally have my methods!” Ye Haochuan didn’t reveal everything, instead feigning non-threat to the Ji brothers as he smiled, ”Once I acquire that object, I guarantee I won’t hinder your ascent, and there will be a generous reward afterward!”

Ouyang Zhu furrowed his brow, sinking into contemplation.

He didn’t want to fight Ye Haochuan for fear of not being able to defeat him quickly, inadvertently triggering the Four Holy Peak’s prohibition. Each Holy Peak has its own spirits; if angered, all those entering the peak could face danger.

This time, the Ji brothers were determined to conquer the Four Holy Ridge without a hitch, so Ouyang Zhu dared not take even the slightest risk.

”Alright, as long as you don’t affect the Ji Family’s climb, you may go about your business!” Ouyang Zhu suddenly declared, adding, ”Please remember, if you truly attempt to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, the Ji Family will not let you off lightly!”

What a joke, thinking little master is all bluster?

Ye Haochuan smirked coldly inwardly but pretended to be quite gratified, cupping his hands in respect before turning and racing toward the Vermilion Bird Peak.

He hadn’t expected to deceive Ouyang Zhu so easily. Once he entered the Holy Peak, he wouldn’t fear Ouyang Zhu taking risks.

If he successfully climbs atop, he wouldn’t fear Ouyang Zhu at all. By then, wouldn’t Ouyang Zhu be furious enough to spit blood?

”Wait!” Just as Ye Haochuan was only a hundred meters from the base of the Holy Peak, Ouyang Zhu suddenly recalled something and shouted loudly.

He had only recently realized that he had been neglecting an important matter. Considering Ye Haochuan risked making enemies of the Ji Family, what he sought must be far from simple.

Yet, the most valuable thing at the Four Holy Ridge was the inheritance of the Holy Peak. Other things were not known to entice a Core Formation expert to take risks to seize them.

No matter what method Ye Haochuan used to obtain the inheritance of the Four Holy Ridge, it would certainly obstruct the Ji brothers’ climb.

”Discovering a flaw only now, isn’t it a bit late?” Ye Haochuan chuckled, directly using ”Sword Flash.”

Ouyang Zhu’s heart tightened, realizing he had been duped by Ye Haochuan, and promptly deployed his methods to stop him. Yet Ye Haochuan moved with incredible speed, instantly rushing into the Vermilion Bird Peak’s territory.

”Dammit!” Ouyang Zhu raged, charging to the edge of the Four Holy Peak but suddenly felt like striking an impenetrable wall, unable to advance an inch.

In his earlier carelessness, his focus had been solely on avoiding conflict with Ye Haochuan, leading him to overlook the nature of the Four Holy Peak, thus allowing Ye Haochuan to succeed.

”Everyone below Core Formation, enter the Vermilion Bird Peak at all costs and eliminate this person! Don’t let him interfere with the Ji Family’s ascent!” Ouyang Zhu yelled out, sending guards rushing into the Vermilion Bird Peak.

Meanwhile, Ye Haochuan had charged within the Vermilion Bird Peak’s range, immediately feeling as if he were stuck in a mire, each movement consuming considerable energy.

What shocked him further was that the spiritual energy within him seemed to have disappeared entirely; he couldn’t employ any methods.

”Is this the might of the Four Holy Peak?” Ye Haochuan gasped inwardly, marveling at the peak’s mystical power.

Not daring to pause, after slightly adjusting his body, he swiftly climbed toward the summit.

After struggling through nearly ten paces, a sudden fluctuation behind him announced the arrival of more than ten Ji Family guards.

Hell, now this was trouble!

Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened; with the current situation, walking alone was a challenge, let alone fighting them.

Yet in the next second, he realized his thoughts were superfluous. Once over ten Ji Family guards entered the Vermilion Bird Peak’s range, more than half immediately fell. After a brief struggle on the ground, they were forever silenced.

The remaining few guards appeared horrified, desperately retreating. Yet the short distance seemed an insurmountable chasm.

After laboriously moving only half a step, several collapsed, seemingly drained of their last ounce of strength.

Ultimately, of the dozen-strong team, only one succeeded in escaping. Upon reentry, he lay collapsed on the ground, eyes filled with terror, repeatedly screaming as if mentally unhinged.

Whoa, is it really so lethal?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel astonished; despite the overwhelming pressure upon entry, he still had the strength to press forward. Unexpectedly, ordinary entrants were directly finished.

Little did he know, the Four Holy Peak was accessible only to absolute geniuses.

Those accompanying the Ji brothers for the climb were famed geniuses in the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm. Yet even for such prodigious talents, it was lethal, let alone those mediocre, poorly founded Foundation Establishment guards.

Precisely because of the Four Holy Ridge’s dire peril, common individuals dared not tread here lightly. None could ascertain whether they’d live to cross that threshold.

Looks like little master has quite an opportunity here!

Ye Haochuan smiled with confidence; the more he advanced, the more his body accustomed itself to the pressure, and his speed increased.

Below the mountain, Ouyang Zhu leapt about in fury, cursing the guards as useless. Yet of what use was cursing; he now had no means to prevent Ye Haochuan’s ascent.

”Do you think you’ll leave successfully after obtaining the inheritance? Naive, the terror of the Ji Family is beyond your imagination!” Ouyang Zhu snapped through gritted teeth.

With that, he quickly dialed a phone number...
