Chapter Fifty-Four: Azure Falls into the Yellow Springs

  "Boom!"

  A huge palm slapped down, like a shooting star, brushing past Xia Lin's side and slapping directly onto the ground, sending out a deafening roar, startling countless dust particles, and only gradually subsiding after a long time.

  Such a shocking reaction, the disciples of Hei Feng Zhai had already been dismissed by the Great Elder, some things were not suitable for these ordinary mountain village disciples to see, so at this time, only the disciples of Xia's family remained.

  As the dust settled, Xia Lin looked forward and suddenly inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

  At this time, on the ground, a huge pit several meters deep was left, forming a giant palm print. In the middle of the palm print, there were two small pits, and a thread of blood could be seen. Obviously, Xia Cheng and Xia Ye had been slapped to death, dead as a doornail. Only at the edge of the palm print, the Second Elder was still hanging on, struggling to survive, and it seemed that he had been spared out of mercy.

  In the distance, a figure floated in, with light clouds and gentle breeze, surprisingly it was Hei Feng Zhai's master, Xia Man!

  Xia's eyes flashed with surprise and delight as he respectfully said, "Father."

  After all these years, this is the first time he saw his father take action, and unexpectedly it was so terrifying! With just one move, Xia Ye and Xia Cheng were directly slapped to death, and the second elder of the Condensed Sea Realm was directly disabled. Such strength, how can it not make people infatuated? Originally thought that Father belonged to the peak of the Cyclone Realm, now it seems, what about the Cyclone Realm?

  "En." Xia Man nodded, glanced at Lin Yi, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes. "Your strength is far beyond my expectations, much stronger than I was back then. Not bad."

  Xia Lin smiled and stopped talking, at this time, the elders also came over one after another.

  The Great Elder looked at the power of this palm in front of him, and secretly sighed. He looked at Xia Man and asked: "Xia Man, I remember you've always been at the peak of the Vortex Realm, but this time... what's going on?"

  Xia Man smiled faintly: "The peak of the Condensed Sea Realm."

  "Hiss——"

  The crowd of elders heard the words and took a cold breath, this Xia Man suddenly had not broken through for many years, everyone thought he had long since lost his chance to break through, but unexpectedly, without breaking through was one boundary, already breaking through, it turned out to be another boundary! From the vortex peak to the condensed sea peak, this is something that many people cannot break through in their lifetime.

  Take Da Zhang Lao for example, he has been cultivating for a lifetime and now is at the peak of the Condensing Sea Realm.

  Xia Man, who didn't even reach forty, has already reached this stage, his natural talent is astonishing!

  Xia Man walked up to the Second Elder and looked at his struggling appearance, asking: "Originally, with your status in the Xia family, you can basically walk sideways, but you chose the most dangerous path. I don't believe you would do something so stupid. Now tell me, what are you after?"

  The two elders slightly opened their eyes and sneered: "Do you think I would tell you?"

  "Of course you will." Xia Man stretched out his palm and placed it on his body, the mysterious energy flowing from his hand into Er Lao's body, a strange thing began to wander inside Er Lao's body.

  Xia Lin saw a chill in the distance, and it seemed like a snake had crawled into Er Lao's body... How disgusting. He didn't believe that Er Lao could withstand this kind of temptation, if he could resist it, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the two elders only lasted a few moments before letting out a miserable cry and collapsing.

  "I said... I said... don't move it, don't..." The Second Elder's face was covered in cold sweat as he stared at the large patch of skin on his chest that was being pushed up by the dark energy, feeling a tearing and splitting pain.

  Xia Man put down her arms and looked at him.

  "It is... it is the Jiang family." The Second Elder said with a gasp.

  "Jiang family?" Xia raised an eyebrow, the number one family in Linjiang City, the Jiang family! Extremely powerful, deservedly the number one in Linjiang City. However, what does this have to do with the Jiang family?

  "Ten years ago, the Jiang family contacted me and asked me to investigate every nook and cranny of Heifeng Mountain in search of the legendary Bi Luo Huang Quan."

  "It is said that in the Azure Falls and Yellow Springs, countless elixirs and treasures are buried. Every single item inside is extremely precious. However, the location of the Azure Falls and Yellow Springs is elusive and unpredictable, and it's unknown how many years it takes to appear once. But this time, after decades of calculations by the Jiang family, they finally calculated that the Azure Falls and Yellow Springs will likely appear on Black Wind Mountain."

  "What?"

  Everyone was shocked to hear the words, and the legendary treasure trove of Bi Luo Huang Quan might actually appear in Hei Feng Mountain! At this moment, no one had a joyful expression. The more precious the treasure, the less they dared to touch it. Joking aside, who didn't know about the crime of being suspected of stealing the imperial seal? Not to mention the legendary Bi Luo Huang Quan? If the Black Wind Fortress really made a move, there was only one outcome: death!

  Not to mention the famous masters, just the Jiang family alone is absolutely not something they can match.

  "Since the Jiang family guessed the address, why didn't they come directly to Heifeng Village? Such things, Heifeng Village wouldn't dare to conceal either." Xia Lin said after thinking for a moment, and this sentence also expressed everyone's doubts.

  The two old men chuckled and said, "Because the Jiang family wants to monopolize it, they absolutely do not allow any news to leak out. It is said that their guessed addresses are roughly three places, and once the location is confirmed, they will immediately take action, and will definitely wipe out Heifeng Gang with a swift and decisive blow. Moreover, because of the existence of several Condensed Sea Realm elders from the Xia family, plus they have not yet determined the location, the Jiang family has not taken action."

  Summer arrives, pupils shrink, alone swallow, one word explains all. Such a heavenly treasure, can it be swallowed by the Jiang family alone?

  "The Jiang family is seeking death." Xia Man sneered, "A mere Jiang family, not even a single Grandmaster, and they think they can find the location of Bi Luo Huang Quan? If this insignificant Jiang family can figure out the address of Bi Luo Huang Quan, wouldn't those legendary powerful beings be aware?"

  "It's unclear." The Second Elder sighed, saying with some difficulty: "It's said that the Jiang family obtained some kind of treasure or something, which is why they can calculate the location of Bi Luo Huang Quan and block others' perceptions. This is also the reason they dare to make a move on Bi Luo Huang Quan."

  "So that's how it is." Xia Lin nodded secretly.

  "How much longer?" Xia Man asked.

  "Half a year! According to plan, there's still half a year left. Half a year later, Bi Luo Huang Quan will appear, and the Jiang family will make their move in the last month."

  "Alright." Xia Man nodded and asked: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

  "No more, I've said all I can say." The Second Elder shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Xia Man in horror: "Don't kill me... don't kill me, I'm also a Ninghai realm, I can help you kill the enemy."

  "Really?"

  Xia Man coldly laughed and said, "I don't believe you."

  "Crack!"

  Xia Man lightly twisted, and the two elders suddenly disappeared without a sound. The two mighty Xia family elders were killed so easily by a master of the Condensing Sea Realm.

  The several elders and masters around collectively fell silent.

  The old man sighed, and before he could say anything to stop them, the seemingly sixty-year-old him had already passed a hundred years, and his heart was no longer in these so-called struggles. He was wholeheartedly immersed in cultivation, striving to break through the Condensed Sea Realm and enter the Return to Origin Realm. If not for this trial of the mountain stronghold, he probably wouldn't have come out. Unexpectedly, he saw this scene.

  "Xia Man, you've also reached the Condensed Sea Realm. You'll automatically become the elder of our Xia family." The Great Elder sighed and said to everyone, "Originally, a mountain stronghold successor would have at least one to three years of time, but now that this has happened, Xia Man is no longer suitable to be a stronghold master, let alone his strength having long surpassed."

  The old man looked at Xia Lin and said, "Xia Lin, from today on, you will take over."

  "What?"

  Xia Lin was stunned, originally still wanting to take advantage of the mountain stronghold heir's identity to quietly cultivate for a few more years. This guy, just became the heir and already succeeded? Too fast!

  Xia Man glanced at him and smiled: "The Great Elder let you be, so just honestly be it, haha, I'm just going to take a good rest."

  Xia Lin sighed and reluctantly agreed, her carefree days were gone forever.

  This time the mountain stronghold trial can be said to have had its ups and downs, whether it was the beginning or the end, all sorts of situations emerged one after another, but now, it's finally over.

  The mountain stronghold trial has ended.

  Xia Lin became the next leader of Hei Feng Zhai with his absolute strength in the realm of Qi Xuan. Xia Ye and Xia Cheng, father and son, were beheaded by Xia Man for attempting to rebel after they failed to destroy the mountain stronghold's trial rules.

  This is a mountain stronghold trial that will go down in the history of Heifeng Village. As the returning disciples of Heifeng Village slowly recount the events of the mountain stronghold trial, everyone comes to realize just how terrifying the experiences were that Xia Lin went through on this journey.

  The Lin family's business team fought a battle and fired the first shot of leaving the mountain stronghold, successfully returning triumphantly.

  The thrilling showdown at Xiaoyazhai, the battle under the blood-colored sky, several close calls that left him on the brink of death, all contributed to Xia Lin's steady progress.

  Confrontation with Qing Shan Men, the master brother of Qing Shan Men who tempered his body to the ninth peak, the interlocking defensive formation of Qing Shan Men brought even more shock and astonishment.

  And then, in a one-on-one confrontation with Xia Ming, he used brute force to shatter Xia Ming's triple arrows.

  After easily defeating Xia Yang, Xia Yan and Xia Ming, he actually captured Xia Cheng's life!

  After returning to the mountain village, Xia Sheng was killed in seconds, and the scene of Xia Ye's confrontation with him made all the disciples infatuated.

  When these things were slowly told from the mouths of the crowd, the mountain stronghold disciples only knew that in this short thirty days, what kind of battle this team had undergone, and how many times Young Master almost died.

  This is no longer a story, but a legend, being passed down among all the Black Wind Gang disciples.
