Chapter 141 Three Barriers
"Hmph! This Southern Border King really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"My lord, not only did you save him, but you also restored his strength to its peak, even further."
"Now he deliberately does not accompany you, simply to curry favor with the Guiyi Dao Sect!"
Chen Dao said indignantly, his words tinged with a thick murderous aura.
Ye Ling glanced at him and smiled, "I've told you long ago, people have their own ambitions; you can't force them."
"Can't you change your temper? What the Southern Border King wants to do is his freedom, you can't control it, and neither can I."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao's expression darkened and, despite being full of anger, he silently nodded his head and said no more.
Then Chen Dao bellowed, "The Northern Liao King has arrived! Why do you not come out to meet him!"
With the strength of a Great Grandmaster at his peak, Chen Dao's voice instantly spread throughout the entire Guiyi Dao Sect.
Even Jiang Hai and the people of the Southern Border King who had already entered the Guiyi Dao Sect changed their expressions.
"The Northern Liao King is here... Shall we go to meet him, Southern Border King?"
Jiang Hai said with a dark face.
Ye Ling came to pay homage, and as the Vice Sect Leader of Guiyi Dao Sect, Jiang Hai naturally wouldn't show him any kindness.
The Southern Border King was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded his head.
The three elders of the field all showed troubled expressions, exchanged glances, and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
After a moment of contemplation, the eldest elder said in a deep voice, "Let's go, we too shall meet the Northern Liao King."
With that, the three field elders followed the steps of the Southern Border King.
Aware of the odd behavior of the three elders behind him, the Southern Border King's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
"Even the Northern Liao King has come! I heard that Miyamoto Musashi went to the Southern Border army to challenge the strong there, and in the end, it was the Northern Liao King who took action and defeated Miyamoto Musashi!"
"Really? I heard that Miyamoto Musashi is a King-level fighter, and even he is no match for the Northern Liao King?"
"Heh, how powerful is the Northern Liao King? The most unfathomable power among the four Kings of the battle regions! Unexpectedly, even he has come to Guiyi Dao Sect, I didn't expect the Guiyi Dao Sect to have such influence, capable of inviting two Kings to visit personally!"
...
Jiang Hai watched Ye Ling with cold eyes and then said in a deep voice, "Northern Liao King, our Guiyi Dao Sect's mountain visit is divided into three challenges."
"The first is this Mountain Gate's Mountain Protection Array, formed by eighty-one disciples of our Guiyi Dao Sect!"
"The second is the sect's formation after entering the Mountain Gate, the Myriad Blade Formation! It is laid down by the sixteen elders of our Guiyi Dao Sect."
Visiting the Guiyi Dao Sect involves three challenges.
The first two are formidable arrays, whether it's the Mountain Protection Array at the first challenge or the Myriad Blade Formation at the second, both are study of generations of formidable figures in our sect and combine offense and defense in one formation.
Not to mention the second challenge's Myriad Blade Formation laid down by sixteen Great Grandmasters, imagine the power it wields.
Even the first challenge's Mountain Protection Array, formed by eighty-one disciples, is not something ordinary powerhouses can breach.
Facing this Mountain Protection Array of the Guiyi Dao Sect, even an average Great Grandmaster at his peak might fall within the formation!
"What about the third challenge?"
Ye Ling asked with a smile.
Ye Ling wore a relaxed and carefree expression, seemingly not taking the two formations Jiang Hai had mentioned seriously at all.
Jiang Hai's expression darkened as he said coldly, "If the Northern Liao King can break through the first two challenges, if you can dismantle our Guiyi Dao Sect's two formations, then you can attempt the third challenge."
"The third challenge is personally overseen by the Sect Leader of our Guiyi Dao Sect!"
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded with a smirk, completely nonchalant.
Jiang Hai continued, "If the Northern Liao King successfully passes all three challenges, from then on, whenever the disciples of our Guiyi Dao Sect encounter the Northern Liao King, they must show the respect due to their junior, and thereafter retreat three shè!"
"And the Northern Liao King will also be able to take any treasure he wishes from the treasure vault of our Guiyi Dao Sect!"
Ye Ling looked at him and then asked, "What if I lose?"
"Heh, that's simple!"
Jiang Hai gave a cold laugh, then continued, "Whether it's the great formations of the first two challenges or the third challenge facing the Sect Leader of our Guiyi Dao Sect, a single bit of carelessness can lead to death."
"If the Northern Liao King loses, I'm afraid he will not be able to leave the Guiyi Dao Sect alive, and I only hope that after the Northern Liao King's failure, others won't come to our Guiyi Dao Sect seeking revenge."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling nodded unconcernedly and said with a smile, "In that case, shall we begin?"
Jiang Hai didn't waste words and directly gestured to a disciple of the Guiyi Dao Sect behind him.
The disciple immediately understood, and then a loud voice came out from the disciple's mouth: "Northern Liao King! Today's mountain visit! Commence the Mountain Protection Array!"
