Chapter 803 Gate of the Ancestors

Zheng Xiujing was furious.
Tian Shiyi and Tian Fu were dead, and the Sky Sword Peak was finished.
She felt great fear. This fear even drowned out her grief. Her first thought was to get out of this place alive, instead of taking revenge.
“Kill him! Stop him!”
She shouted loudly as she fled.
The thousands of Sword Whizzes around her were just life-saving pawns in her eyes. As long as those disciples of the sect could gain time for her to escape, she didn’t care if all of them died for her sake.
Several disciples of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect frantically charged at Li Mu with swords in their hands like sacrificial warriors.
Li Mu flicked his fingers several times.
The Broadsword Intent ripped through the air.
Large snowflakes fell from the sky. The Broadsword Intent directly sliced those disciples of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect into pieces, which turned into a rain of blood and their broken bones scattered all over the sky. As they fell, they turned into flying snowflakes, which made a beautiful picture of death in the air.
Li Mu opened his Third Eye.
A flash of purple lightning appeared and turned into a broadsword of thunder, which ripped through the crowd of Sword Whizzes trying to stop Li Mu and reduced them instantly to ashes. Then, from a distance of about ten thousand meters, the broadsword of thunder smashed into Zheng Xiujing and seared her instantly to ashes.
Li Mu won an overwhelming victory in the blink of an eye.
He could combine his broadsword skills with the Great Way and use his Third Eye in a more proficient and flexible way. The slash created a crack in the void that existed for a long time.
The thousands of Sword Whizzes were scared out of their wits.
Naturally, Li Mu would show no mercy because he came here with the intent to kill.
First, it was Taixuan Sect, then, it was the Mind-clearing Sword Sect. These two sects based in famous mountains gave him a very bad impression of hidden sects.
He thought that his previous judgment was probably wrong. The people of those sects in the small worlds of famous mountains were not the descendants of the warriors of the Dark Yellow Army. They might be the descendants of the Extraterritorial Demons. Otherwise, they would not have been so perverse.
“If you surrender, I’ll spare your lives.”
Li Mu’s loud voice was tinged with an inviolable will.
Amidst the wind and snow, thousands of Sword Whizzes bowed their heads.
Li Mu walked through the crowd of Sword Whizzes like a king making a way through the sea with a water-repelling wand in his hand.
He opened his Third Eye and surveyed the surroundings.
He was surprised to find that there were no outstanding masters in the Mind-clearing Sword Sect other than Tian Shiyi and Zheng Xiujing, who died in the fight with him. The most powerful practitioners among the remaining people of the sect were just half-step kings similar to Elder Feng and Elder Lei.
“Something is not right.”
Li Mu had discovered some information when he was in Taixuan Sect.
Among the heads of the three peaks of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect, the head of the Sky Sword Peak, Tian Shiyi, was the most violent one, the head of the Hanging Sword Peak, Zheng Lun, was the most mysterious one, and the head of the Clear Sword Peak, Zhong Shutang, was the one with the highest cultivation level. The most powerful practitioner of the entire Mind-clearing Sword Sect was the Sect Chairman, Elder Jian. It was said that he had lived for thousands of years, his power was unfathomable, and he was the top master in this small world of Mount Song.
“Tian Shiyi is dead. Why are Elder Jian and the heads of the other two peaks nowhere to be seen?
“Have they escaped?
“That shouldn’t be the case.”
Li Mu made his way through thousands of Sword Whizzes and walked straight toward the gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect.
The Mind-clearing Sword Sect was known as the top sect in the world of Mount Song. However, the disciples standing guard at the gate gave Li Mu an impression that the Mind-clearing Sword Sect was strong on the outside but very weak on the inside.
“What? Elder Jian went to Qinling with the main masters of the sect to form an alliance...”
Li Mu learned that from a master of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect who had surrendered.
Upon hearing the news, he immediately realized that this small world was not as isolated as the outsiders had imagined, and it was very likely that the small world here and the outside world were interconnected.
He rubbed his temples as he stood on the summit of Clear Sword Peak.
Countless masters from the Mind-clearing Sword Sect stood behind him, with their heads lowered. They didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
All those who resisted Li Mu had been mercilessly killed by him.
None of the remaining people could withstand Li Mu’s frontal attack no matter what means they used, whether it was a tactical deployment or magic treasure. In only half an hour, the top sect in the world of Mount Song had completely surrendered to Li Mu.
“What’s the gathering in Qinling?”
Li Mu looked at the beautiful scenery of the fairyland with its countless magnificent buildings in front of him and asked without even looking back.
The masters of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect behind him didn’t dare to hide anything from Li Mu. They hurriedly told him everything.
There was once a prophecy that had circulated throughout the Mind-clearing Sword Sect and even the entire world of Mount Song for one thousand years.
As long as the Gate of the Ancestors appeared, the practitioners in the small worlds of famous mountains on the Earth could get out of the small worlds through the gate. This gate enabled many practitioners who were struggling in those small worlds to break free of their shackles, return to the Star River, and regain their freedom.
Ten days ago, the Gate of the Ancestors appeared in the Qinling mountains.
All the big and small worlds were shocked. They sent masters to gather in Qinling and waited for the opening of the Gate of the Ancestors.
“The worlds of many famous mountains are prisons in which we’re trapped. We cannot escape, and we have been suffering for many generations. Therefore, all of us are looking forward to the opening of the legendary Gate of the Ancestors. Once it opens, we can get out of our prisons and regain freedom.”
A white-haired Supreme Elder of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect explained to Li Mu.
Li Mu suddenly realized something.
“The Gate of the Ancestors?
“Could it be the Gate of Interstellar Teleportation opened by the six major clans in the Ziwei Star Zone?
“The ancestors of the six major clans have completed the integration of the divine blood of Bai Jun the God of War. Is it possible that they have opened the gate of teleportation and come to the Earth?”
Li Mu came to Earth about ten days ago.
The ancestors of the six major clans made their moves faster than Li Mu had imagined.
He had to go to Qinling to check it out.
Otherwise, things would become difficult if the Gate of the Ancestors were really opened by the ancestors of the six major clans as he had expected.
“How long will it take before the Gate of the Ancestors opens?” Li Mu asked.
The white-haired Supreme Elder didn’t dare to hide the truth from Li Mu. He said, “According to the information we’ve received, the Gate of the Ancestors has appeared, but it will take one more month before the gate stabilizes. Once it has stabilized completely, it can be opened for teleportation. This time, all the big and small worlds are contending over the quota for entry.”
After hearing that, Li Mu rubbed his temples.
“One more month?
“That’s fine. There is no need to rush.
“Why are the practitioners in the small worlds of famous mountains yearning for the outside world so badly?”
“You haven’t been to the world on the other side of the Gate of the Ancestors. Why are you so sure that the world out there is better than this place?”
Li Mu was confused.
The Supreme Elder said, “No matter what the world on the other side of the Gate of the Ancestors is like, there’s one thing we can be sure of. There are no restrictions and curses on longevity in that world.”
The other masters of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect nodded in agreement.
Li Mu was a little surprised.
“Wait a minute.
“Restrictions and curses on longevity?”
He suddenly realized that he might have missed something.
Ah...
After a long moan, Luo Liang suddenly opened his eyes.
He had a splitting headache.
His body ached all over.
What he saw after opening his eyes was a green stone shed. It was a simple shed made of stone blocks and had a trace of ancient charm. There was a stone table, stone seats, and a red teapot inside the shed. A willow-leaf knife hung on the wall, and the air was cold.
“Where am I?”
Bewildered, he used his hands to support himself and managed to sit up in bed. Suddenly, he remembered what happened. While he was chasing Li Mu, he lost his way and wandered about. Later, he encountered a giant yellow-striped tiger with wings that tried to hunt him down. In the end, he lost his footing, fell into a deep valley, and lost consciousness.
“It seems that someone has rescued me...”
He looked at his body and found that he was wrapped in layers of blue cloth and resembled a mummy. He could smell the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs. Obviously, herbal medicines had been applied to his body under the blue cloth. He felt cool currents circulating around his waist, abdomen, and limbs.
Creak.
The door creaked open.
A beautiful young girl with skin the color of wheat and a strong young man wearing a suit of tiger-pattern leather armor pushed the door open and came in.
“Hey? You’re awake...” The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes saw that Luo Liang was awake. He turned around, rushed out of the shed, and shouted at the top of his voice, “He’s awake. That boy from the mortal world is awake. Elders, chief, he’s awake...”
Luo Liang couldn’t utter a word.
The girl young girl with the wheat-like complexion smiled graciously and said, “Hey, you’re finally awake. We applied some magic herbal medicines on your wounds. How are you feeling now? The wounds to your bones and flesh should have healed by now. Do you feel any pain?”
Looking at the girl’s smiling face, Luo Liang was a little stunned.
He didn’t know why, but he felt like a bright beam of light was shining into his heart that had almost dried up in the past 25 years of his life.
His heart skipped a beat.
As a big-time host with hundreds of thousands of fans, Luo Liang had experienced many ups and downs, but at this moment, he flushed involuntarily.
“Ah, I... I... I ‘m alright. You... thank you...” He stuttered.
The young girl giggled, which sounded like the tinkling of wind chimes.
After they talked for a while, the door opened. The burly young man walked in with some people.
Luo Liang was lucky. He had stumbled into a tribe whose people were friendly to mortals.
He exchanged greetings with them.
A few hours later, he blended in with the people of the small tribe called Yellow Dragon Tribe.
He never expected that there would be such a small tribe in this small world.
The Yellow Dragon Tribe had a population of several hundred people. They lived a relatively primitive lifestyle by rivers, and they were the lowest-ranking people in the world of Mount Song. Their ancestors passed down the secret method for raising and training “flying tigers” to them. For this reason, there were enslaved by the great powers in the world of Mount Song and worked hard like slaves.
They had to “contribute” a certain number of winged tigers to each great power every year in exchange for leniency and protection.
Luo Liang soon became acquainted with the people of the Yellow Dragon Tribe.
However, his eyes were fixed on the girl named Huang Ye’er.
He had fallen in love with her at first sight.
Soon, however, he heard a piece of shocking news.
Huang Ye’er was going to get married soon.
“My sister is going to marry an elder of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect. In the first half of the year, our tribe failed to raise enough winged tigers, so the people of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect were enraged. They threatened to kill my father and the elders of the tribe. My sister had no choice but to accept the marriage proposal of an elder of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect in order to save the tribe from disasters...”
The burly young man was called Huang Shu. When he talked about the Mind-clearing Sword Sect, he sighed repeatedly and gnashed his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
“Let’s go to the base of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect tonight.”
The chief of the Yellow Dragon Tribe was an old man with a strong body and dark skin and had a sturdy build as if he were made of cast iron. He gathered all the warriors of the tribe and picked some elites. They prepared the dowry and mounted flying tigers, ready to set out.
Given the speed of the flying tigers, it would take about half a day to arrive at the gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect. As the people of the Yellow Dragon Tribe would set out and travel at night, it would take a little more time than usual. They would probably get there at dawn and then wait for the Mind-clearing Sword Sect to make further arrangements.
In fact, the whole thing was more like the giving of a gift than a marriage.
Luo Liang stared blankly at Huang Ye’er, who grew silent and was no longer happy. He felt heartbroken.
In the past, he thought that love, at first sight, was sheer nonsense, and he didn’t believe that two persons who met for the first time could have deep feelings for each other. However, he believed it now.
“I’ll go with you,” Luo Liang suddenly said.
“Maybe I can help you with something there,” he said loudly.
The young man glanced at the mortal who they rescued last night and shook his head, saying, “I know you have a crush on my sister, but the people of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect hate mortals. It’s very dangerous for you to go there. Don’t go.”
The other people of the Yellow Dragon Tribe also tried to dissuade Luo Liang.
Luo Liang got anxious. He said, “Don’t worry. I know someone in the Mind-clearing Sword Sect. I can talk to them...” Of course, he was lying, but he couldn’t find another way to persuade the people of the Yellow Dragon Tribe to bring him along.
