Chapter 649 The Choice of Five Mountains!
Chapter 649 The Choice of Five Mountains!
Qin Changsheng was extremely conflicted at this moment.
Although the Qin Clan of Immortal Mountain did not directly participate in the events when the forces led by the Immortal Palace attacked the Ten Fiends Kunpeng, in order to maintain the hard-won peace in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Five Elements Mountain took on the responsibility of suppressing Kunpeng, that posthumous child.
And this is also due to the influence of the Qin clan of Immortal Mountain.
Now that the immortal being has escaped, it will surely seek revenge.
At that time, a bloodbath will surely sweep across the heavens and the earth!
As the Qin clan is indirectly involved in this matter, they are very likely to be implicated as well.
He wasn't afraid of those immortal beings.
Although that guy is known as "immortal", his strength is far from what it used to be. If a real fight breaks out, the Qin clan might not necessarily lose.
What he was worried about was that the immortal being would do something shameless, just like Qi Daolin back then!
For example, they specifically target and kill young, lone cultivators from their own clan.
If that were true, it would be a disaster for the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
After all, the younger generation of cultivators is the foundation of the strength of each race.
If the younger generation doesn't grow up, the entire clan will lose its lineage.
Perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years from now, the overall strength of that group will experience a precipitous decline.
By then, they will collapse on their own, without even waiting for an invasion from foreign lands.
Thinking of this, Qin Changsheng's attitude towards Zhu Chen and his group also changed somewhat.
He originally planned to establish a relationship similar to an alliance with Zhu Chen, so that in the event of changes in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he could find a powerful friend for the Qin clan of Immortal Mountain.
I never imagined that this matter would develop into this situation.
Qin Changsheng gave a bitter smile, unsure of what to say.
Zhu Chen noticed Qin Changsheng's predicament.
He knew that Qin Changsheng had helped them today because he genuinely wanted to befriend him.
But the sudden appearance of the Five Elements Mountain, and its recognition that he was the one who had once released the immortal beings, inevitably put Qin Changsheng in a dilemma.
In order not to put Shi Hao and Qin Hao in a difficult position, Zhu Chen had no choice but to step forward.
He looked up at the massive Five Elements Mountain and said calmly, "I have already released that immortal being. This matter is irreversible. What do you want? Just say it."
Wu Xing Shan thought for a moment and said, "I can give you two choices..."
Zhu Chen raised an eyebrow: "Tell me first, but I might not agree."
Wu Xing Shan was not angry upon hearing this, but continued, "First, you must capture that immortal being within a hundred years and suppress it again. If you do so, I will forgive and forget about it."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chen suddenly laughed: "That's impossible. Tell me about the second one..."
Wu Xing Shan seemed to have anticipated his words, so he changed the subject and continued, "You will take the place of that immortal being and accept my suppression. If you can endure my suppression for the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn, then this matter will be over. If the people from the Immortal Palace ask about it then, I will have a reason to say that I have done my best, and I will have repaid the karma from back then."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Lin Dong was the first to jump out, glaring angrily at the Five Elements Mountain and saying, "What right does this broken mountain have to suppress my elder brother?"
Luo Feng frowned and said in a deep voice, "If you want to mess with my elder brother, you'll have to ask us first!"
Han Li didn't speak, but his hand had already touched the storage bag, ready to release the Heavenly Demon Puppet Swarm at any moment.
Qian Renxue, Qingyi, and even Fengwu were all prepared to make their move.
Shi Hao stood directly beside Zhu Chen, his gaze fixed firmly on the Five Elements Mountain, and said, "If you want to suppress my elder brother, you'll have to get past me first..."
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Hao also walked up behind Shi Hao.
Shi Ziling and Qin Yining exchanged a glance, and although they didn't speak, they both stood beside Shi Hao.
Zhu Chen was deeply moved to see that Shi Hao and the others still chose to stand by his side despite the oppression of Five Elements Mountain. It seemed that he hadn't wasted his time making these brothers and friends.
Zhu Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, then looked up at Five Elements Mountain again and said calmly, "Three incense sticks? Is that enough?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xing Shan was startled: "Young man, I have suppressed countless powerful figures, many of whom are more powerful than you. Three incense sticks is already a generous gift to you..."
Zhu Chen smiled: "I don't need any special treatment. Since you think this is acceptable, let's begin..."
"Big brother! Are you crazy?"
Lin Dong panicked and hurriedly went over to grab Zhu Chen, saying, "This broken mountain can even suppress immortal beings, you..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing..."
Zhu Chen interrupted him directly, then turned to Qin Changsheng, cupped his fists and said, "Clan Chief Qin, may I borrow your precious space for a moment?"
Qin Changsheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he sighed and nodded.
He knew that he could no longer stop the existence of immortal beings, nor could he intervene in the matter.
The Five Elements Mountain holds a higher position than the Immortal Mountain, and he has no right to interfere with the other party's decisions.
Moreover, since Zhu Chen had already agreed, he couldn't say anything more.
Let's do as Wuxing Mountain says!
"please……"
Qin Changsheng stepped back a few paces, immediately making room for Zhu Chen and his group.
Zhu Chen strode to the center of the open space, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the Five Elements Mountain: "Come on."
The Five Elements Mountain emitted a deep rumble, and the runes on its body suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire world as if it were daytime.
The next moment, the colossal mountain slowly descended, pressing down directly on Zhu Chen.
It was a terrifying pressure that defied description.
"—BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
Before the mountains even arrived, the ground beneath Zhu Chen's feet had already begun to crack.
Cracks spread outwards from Zhu Chen's feet, crushing the rubble into powder, and a suffocating pressure began to fill the air.
The surrounding cultivators retreated one after another, and even Qin Changsheng retreated more than a hundred feet away.
"--boom!"
"--Bang!!"
"--Bang!!!"
As the Five Elements Mountain drew closer, so too did the oppressive aura grow stronger.
Zhu Chen's clothes fluttered in the wind, and his hair danced wildly, but his body remained motionless, like an ancient pine tree rooted in the earth, standing firm against wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
"--boom!!!"
The Five Elements Mountain finally pressed down, enveloping Zhu Chen within it.
The runes on the mountain flashed wildly, and waves of sealing power surged toward Zhu Chen, attempting to suppress him.
Zhu Chen groaned, his feet sinking into the ground, his knees slightly bent.
The force was so great that even he found it somewhat difficult to exert himself.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered.
