Chapter 140: The Intervention of Yipin Hall
The Shaolin “Rebel Monk” not only possessed exceptional martial skills in boxing, kicking, and staff combat but also had a formidable defensive ability that was well-known throughout the martial world!
Compared to the bandit leader at the Mysterious Realm that Happy had once killed, the Rebel Monk was far superior—stronger in attacks and even surpassing the Stone Giant of the Ancient Tomb in terms of defense, making him even more difficult to deal with and kill…
It was for this reason that, after regaining his strength, Happy chose the Rebel Monk as the ideal target to advance to the tenth level of “Flower Hero’s Song”—masters at the Mysterious Realm could offer more experience than Stone Giants at the Fate Realm!
While Happy was earnestly competing with the Rebel Monk and practicing “Flower Hero’s Song,” about a hundred meters away, on the other end of the iron chain bridge and at the edge of the cliff, a group of people appeared.
Li Heng, the deputy leader of the Tianyin Gang, after an hour of continuous messaging via carrier pigeons, finally received reinforcements from the gang’s main force, led by the gang’s own leader—a master at the late Fate Realm who had reached the tenth level in a supreme martial art.
The Tianyin Gang leader was a man with a relatively delicate and fair complexion. His sword sheathed in silver-white material was strikingly elegant. Standing at the forefront of the group, he glanced at the five thick, crude iron chains ahead, then followed their length of sight to the peak a hundred meters away, frowning slightly.
“Li Heng, are you sure? Did you really see him come this way…” His tone sounded skeptical.
Hearing this, Li Heng and the others showed signs of helplessness.
It wasn’t the first time they had heard doubts from their gangmates, and now even the leader was questioning them, which left them extremely frustrated.
They immediately recounted in detail how another group had followed behind and witnessed the opponent coming here. Yet the Tianyin Gang leader and those around him remained deeply worried.
Actually…
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to believe Li Heng.
It was just that…
It was hard to believe that someone would take such a huge risk, crossing such crude and dangerous chains, and navigating through fierce peaks and blinding mist to reach a solitary peak a hundred meters away.
If it weren’t for the red dot on the map clearly moving on the opposite peak, they would have thought either that Li Heng was lying or that the person who stole the jewel box had devised another trick to deceive them…
But!
How could they get there?
Now, this was the most pressing problem facing the members of the Tianyin Gang.
From thousands of feet in the air, stepping on uneven and swaying chains for over a hundred meters, and even having to pass through a foggy area—after all, they weren’t professional high-altitude acrobats.
After a moment of silence, someone finally couldn’t hold back and volunteered, “I’ll do it!”
A young man stepped forward, defiantly saying, “If he can make it, we definitely can too!”
“This isn’t a joke!” Li Heng warned with a frown.
The young man took a deep breath. “It’s fine. My lightness skills are pretty good. It’s just over a hundred meters—shouldn’t be hard…” With that, he leaped five meters away from the chains.
The chains swayed!
As soon as he landed, before he could move forward, he felt his body swinging back and forth with the massive chains, completely unable to maintain balance. Screaming, he instinctively reached out with his hands in the air, looking extremely dangerous.
On the cliff edge, the others were also sweating nervously for their companion!
Seeing him sway uncontrollably, someone shouted, “Stop waiting! Cross over as fast as you can!”
“Exactly!” others agreed immediately.
On the chains, the young man’s face turned pale and grim. Realizing what was happening, he gritted his teeth, chose a landing spot a few meters away, pushed off, and soared over.
But as soon as he took off, the mountain wind, which hadn’t been strong before, seemed to pick up suddenly…
His light body was blown off course in midair!
“Oh no!” The young man’s face turned deathly white. Panicked, he deflated like a punctured balloon and was blown several meters further…
On the cliff behind him, the others watched helplessly as he drifted away from the chains like a kite, fell, and let out a tragic scream before plunging into the abyss.
Dead before even achieving success!
The members of Tianyin Gang held their breaths as they saw their companion blown off the cliff by the wind. They looked at each other in horror, hearts filled with despair. Even a few female members gasped and instinctively stepped back, fearing they might be the next to be blown into the abyss.
“What a close call…”
The leader of Tianyin Gang exchanged a shocked glance with Li Heng.
In fact, they had also planned to cross quickly using their lightness skills, but it was clear they had underestimated this nearly impassable chain bridge…
The mountain wind was far more troublesome than they had expected. If they had acted rashly earlier, they might have ended up shattered like that young man.
Just as the two were wrestling with complex emotions of frustration and slight relief, a harsh laugh rang out from behind them.
The members of Tianyin Gang turned around in alarm.
“Who!”
Before Li Heng could finish speaking, an arrogant voice replied, “I!!”
The sound of clothes swirling through the air came swiftly, and soon, a person landed in front of the Tianyin Gang members.
Looking them up and down, this person was tall and muscular, with a resolute face, yet his eyes carried an unruly, sinister aura. He crossed his arms, a mocking smile on his face, wearing black metal gauntlets on each hand, with ten sharp, menacing claws glowing fiercely.
Even facing a group of members of Tianyin Gang who were at the Creation Realm, he showed no signs of fear but instead displayed an air of superiority, infuriating the gang members!
“A member of Yipin Hall?”
It was the leader of Tianyin Gang who noticed first, his gaze sweeping over the insignia visible on the person’s chest. Frowning deeply, he identified the person’s identity solemnly.
As soon as he spoke, the members of Tianyin Gang paled in fear.
Yipin Hall!
The name of a well-known gaming team in the virtual gaming world. It was said that they had spent all their wealth to withdraw from several popular virtual games and fully focus on “Jianghu,” having already established three gangs, all of which were famous in Jianghu.
No wonder the members of Tianyin Gang were speechless upon learning this person’s identity.
It was said that over 500 members of Yipin Hall had all reached the Creation Realm half a month ago, with more than 70% of them mastering advanced martial arts! They were by no means opponents for those minor factions!
The leader of Tianyin Gang stared intently into the eyes of the newcomer, took a deep breath, and hesitantly asked, “Is the appearance of a Yipin Hall member here meant to indicate that the lacquered box at the entrance of Shaolin Temple already has an owner?”
