Chapter 178: The Huan Shan Chain

  。

  "It's Puqiang Peak!"

  "He didn't choose Yan Chi and An Dong, but chose Pu Qian!!"

  "Pu Qian's department has always been mysterious, and few people have ventured into this mountain range. Why did he choose to come here? Moreover, Yan Chi and An Dong had already shown a welcoming attitude, but Pu Qian was aloof, and there were even contradictions before!"

  As soon as Su Ming took a step forward, the entire Handan City immediately erupted in a buzzing noise, with almost everyone discussing this matter and finding Su Ming's actions quite incomprehensible.

  In theory, any peak of the Xuefeng Mountain Range is the same. The Tianhan Sect chooses its disciples and will not specify a certain peak.

  Compared to Andong's first visit, Yan Chi Department's first token of sending out was obviously not a big possibility if it were someone else, especially with Zhong Ming's family protecting the mountain mist!

  It wasn't just the crowd that didn't understand, even Nantian and the other three powerful beings who opened the dust were bewildered when they saw Su Ming's actions. Nantian looked at Su Ming's figure on the mountain top, he couldn't think of why his opponent would make such a choice.

  Only Xuan Lun's eyes suddenly contracted, he was originally a guest of Pu Qiang, and he knew Pu Qiang very well. Although he is no longer a guest now, the friendship over the years still exists. At this moment, seeing Su Ming's choice, he didn't know why, his heart suddenly jumped.

  "He must have an ulterior motive!" Xuan Lun narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Ming on the mountain top, remaining silent.

  Similarly, there were also Yan Chi Department and An Dong Department. In the mountain peaks of An Dong Department, Man Gong and others looked far away at Hanyang Mountain. When they saw Su Ming walking towards Pu Qiang's iron chain, An Dong's chief Fang Shen frowned.

  "This ink guest, apart from obtaining the qualification to enter Tian Han Sect, seems to have other purposes..." An Dong Man's eyes flashed as he slowly spoke.

  Yan Chi Feng, the already exhausted old woman of the Man Gong tribe, at this moment revealed a fierce gaze in her eyes. She looked towards Mount Huan, and her expression became contemplative.

  Yan Luan also furrowed his brow beside him.

  "But he still chose Pu Qian, this person has a purpose, has prepared, he ventured into the Han Shan chain before, must have already made up his mind, his goal is not the Han Shan bell, but... "Pu Qian!" The old woman's hoarse voice opened, her eyes shining brighter."

  "The only thing we can't give is the death energy condensed by Pu Qian's special barbaric skills..." The old woman fell silent for a moment, muttering somewhat hesitantly.

  Compared to Antong and Yan Chi's confusion, the one who was even more surprised and suspicious about this matter was actually the Puqiang department. Almost at the moment when Su Ming chose the iron chain of Puqiang Peak, an old man with a skull-like face appeared on the summit of Puqiang Mountain, his eyes revealing an unusual glow. Behind him sat seven or eight people, and even in the lower part, there were figures rushing over quickly.

  "Barbarian..." A low voice spoke up hesitantly beside the old man who looked like a skull.

  "No harm, I'd like to see if this person can come over." Pu Xian Man said calmly, rubbing the bone ring on his right hand with a piercing gaze, staring at the distant Mount Yan.

  It was almost as if Su Ming's right foot had stepped onto the iron chain that connected to the peak of Pu Qiong Mountain, which was swaying in the wind and rain. At that moment, a series of deafening roars suddenly reverberated through the sky and earth, drowning out the discussions of the crowd on Mount Hua. The sound was like thunder rumbling underground, causing the earth to shake violently. Amidst this shaking, eight gigantic pillars, each with a thickness of over ten zhang, rose up from the depths below with a loud rumble.

  These eight massive stone pillars, with some cracks and a large amount of green vegetation covering them, rose up from the depths with a rumbling sound, immediately lifting the swaying iron chain, dividing it into nine segments!

  As the eight giant pillars rose, waves of dust and mist emerged from the depths, but these clouds of dust were immediately dispersed by the torrential rain. The sky flashed with lightning, as if a mighty voice thundered in the heavens.

  These nine iron chains, each segment is very far apart, connected to each other, forming a road like a bridge between Mount Huan and Mount Puqian!

  The rain washed away, constantly making the iron chain look extremely slippery. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably not dare to set foot on it, and even if they did, they would likely fall off and die.

  Especially when the iron chain loosens and shakes, it not only poses a physical danger but also has a psychological impact, as if there is an abyss in front of you. People will subconsciously retreat even if someone is pushing from behind, they will struggle to move back.

  This mental shock is difficult for even those who claim to have a strong will to be unaffected.

  Su Ming's right foot stepped on the iron chain, which did not stop swaying due to his right foot falling, still swinging in the wind and clouds, moving Su Ming's right leg, also swaying.

  Su Ming's expression was extremely solemn, he had never underestimated the Han Shan chain. At this moment, his footsteps fell on it, and the slippery feeling was very clear, as if he couldn't stand firmly.

  "No wonder He Feng had insisted on taking several steps in one breath when he first started out, and even when he stopped, it was only after making sure he was standing firmly..."

  The heavy atmosphere was not just Su Ming, at this moment the people of Handan City below were almost all like this, they looked at the figure in the rain curtain, looking at the iron chain under his feet shaking, a tense feeling, inevitably emerged.

  "A person who can move more than 20 temple bells with one sound... how many steps can he take!"

  "He chose the wrong time, the rain-soaked Hengshan chain is much more difficult than usual."

  "It's not just a matter of time, this season is full of rain, and it will be like that every day."

  The murmurs grew louder with the rapid breathing, and everything was getting higher and higher. Su Ming couldn't hear any of it; his left foot suddenly lifted off the ground, and in the moment his right foot landed firmly, he took a step forward.

  This step, looking very small, but this step represents Su Ming's two feet, leaving the ground, leaving Handan Mountain. At this moment, he can be said to be standing completely on the Handan Mountains!

  A strong gust of wind howled, blowing fiercely past Su Ming's side, as if trying to push his body away from the iron chain, causing Su Ming's clothes to flutter wildly and the iron chain to shake even more violently, swaying back and forth continuously.

  In this strong wind, it's hard to breathe. Su Ming raised his head and looked at the distant Puqiao Peak. Standing on this iron chain, his eyes seemed to be shaking.

  "If that's all, it's not too difficult." Su Ming's eyes flashed, and he straightened his body, taking a step forward. With each step, he landed extremely accurately on the swaying iron chains, no matter how they moved, as if they would automatically send themselves under his feet, allowing him to tread on them.

  He walked steadily, step by step, and had already covered more than half of the first section of the iron chain. Two hundred yards ahead of him was the end of this section of the iron chain, where a ten-yard pillar stood.

  The people of Handan City, one by one, almost without blinking, stared at Su Ming's figure in mid-air, watching him walk through more than half of the first segment, and now he was heading towards the first stone pillar.

  "This person, despite being unable to see God's color, has a very steady pace. This section is not difficult for him."

  "That's right. However, the nine iron chains of Mount Huan's chain are increasingly strange as you go further back. Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a reputation and be chosen by the Tian Han Sect as a qualification test."

  "I wonder how many steps this person can take..."

  The murmurs gradually subsided, and countless eyes converged on Su Ming's figure suspended in mid-air. Apart from the people of Huo Mountain, there were also members of the three tribes and their leaders. On this clear morning after last night's rain, Su Ming's appearance had made this day different.

  The first section of the iron chain, in Su Ming's calm and composed manner, walked past it. When he stood at the end of this first section of the iron chain, just as he was about to step onto the first stone pillar, his body suddenly shook violently.

  Under this shock, his figure suddenly had a sense of swaying, and this sudden scene immediately caused the onlookers below to exclaim in surprise.

  "This... this is just the first paragraph, can't he even withstand it?"

  "It's impossible! He can ring more than twenty bells, how could he be so exhausted in just the first segment!"

  "How is this possible, unless..."

  Exclamations rose and fell in waves, instantly creating a commotion.

  Even people from Yan Chi Department and An Dong Department were immediately drawn in by the scene at that moment, attracting all eyes.

  "Despicable!" Yan Luan's eyes flashed, and he sneered.

  An old woman beside him did not speak, but looked at Puqian Peak.

  On the top of Andong Mountain, Andong Man Gong also looked at Pu Qian Peak with great and profound meaning, smiled slightly, but didn't speak. However, behind him, the leader of the Andong tribe, Fang Shen, revealed a sharp gaze.

  "When did Pu Qian become so petty?"

  On top of Puqiong Peak, more than a dozen people were already seated cross-legged, with Man Gong as the leader, each and every one of them silent.

  "Give me an explanation." Pu Xian Man slowly opened her mouth.

  Su Ming's head jerked up, and the moment his foot landed, a powerful fluctuation immediately came from the iron chain, silently and quietly entering his body through his right foot. This power was filled with an aura of death, as if it wanted to solidify the blood in his body, but Su Ming's current Blood Line had already reached 979, even for an ordinary Open Cavern strong practitioner, it would be quite difficult to solidify it!

  He let out a cold snort, and not only did his right foot not lift off the ground, but his left foot instead took another step forward onto the iron chain. At the same time, the power of 979 bloodlines within his body suddenly burst forth from his feet, merging into the iron chain and colliding with the incoming waves dozens of meters in front of him.

  These two waves of force were separated by the first stone pillar, which shook violently and shed a large amount of debris, but still stood tall.

  Su Ming had sensed it earlier, this stone pillar has a layer of strange reinforcement power, this power makes him somewhat familiar, it is the aura of Mount Hua's Old Ancestor.

  Although this aura is very light, although the old ancestor of Handan Mountain has died, the remaining aura on this pillar can still maintain its integrity.

  The dull thunder of the collision between the two forces was masked by the thunder in the sky, making it impossible for people to hear clearly. At the same time, among more than a dozen people sitting cross-legged at the top of Puqiao Peak, a middle-aged man's body trembled and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth as he looked towards Puqiao Man Gong.

  "He has moved the treasure that Sima left in this place, Sima doesn't bother to see him, but this man's crime of offending must be punished!"

  "Don't overestimate your abilities..." Pu Xian Man calmly opened his mouth.
