Chapter 1777
As the roar continued, it rumbled the earth, and eventually the heavens. The ground around them
started quaking as if the roar had awakened a primal fear within it.
The roar seemed toe from the depths of the earth, and a momentter, an intense heat storm
swept across the surface world.
When Tang Yun and Ye Fan turned around, what greeted them was a horrifying scene. The top of
Mount Chumen looked like it was on fire, itsnd as red as the crimson sun. The mountain looked
like it was being burned by a little sun.
“That... That can''t be...” Tang Yun''s face became as white as a ghost when she saw what was
happening.
“What''s wrong, Yun?” Ye Fan was worried. He seldom saw Tang Yun looking so worried before.

Tang Yun had a grim look on her face. “Ye Fan, I suspect that the monster that has been slumbering
under the mountain is starting to wake up.”
“Wait. A monster? There''s a monster under the mountain?” Ye Fan was shocked.
“You didn''t know about it? Your family''s ancestor— Chu Yunyang—was one of the, if not the most
powerful and most talented fighters of his generation and generations toe. Even the smallest
part of his power is enough to keep your family safe for millennia.
“Invoke the Celestial Cloud, Iron Man, Sword of Yunyang, and even the Tang family''s Cloud and
Mist Sword Technique are the gifts he left for his descendants.” Tang Yun spoke briefly of Ye Fan''s
family history, but she didn''t look happy. The situation was a grim one.
“What? Even the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique? No wonder I thought it''s simrto Invoke the
Celestial Cloud.” Ye Fan finally realized the answer to the question that had been bugging him for a
long time.
However, that only made him more curious about the rtionship between the Chu family and the
Tang family. I wonder what does their most guarded technique have anything to do with my
ancestor?But now''s not the time to ask that question, though. Ye Fan said, “You''re trying to say that
this monster also has something to do with my ancestor, aren''t you?”
Tang Yun nodded. “When I was little, I knew that a monster slumbers underneath Mount Chumen.
The Jones family''s ancestor was the monster''s gatekeeper. He was also one of your ancestor''s
subordinates as well. After so many years, the Jones family became one of the Three Families of
the Chu Sect, and they enjoy the same status as the Chu fa m i ly.
“Since then, all they care about is power. They probably forgot about their ancestor''s duty. They
might have even forgotten about this monster as well.” Tang Yun shook her head mncholically.
As the head of the Chu Sect, she knew a lot more than Ye Fan about the secrets of the Three
Families of the Chu Sect.
When she first heard about the monster under the mountain, Tang Yun only brushed it off as a
legend, but when she heard the ancient roar and saw the fire that was destroying the mountain, she
realized that the monster was no mere myth; it existed in real life.
“If the monster were to reappear, Eigetsu and everyone else will be in danger!”
Ye Fan had realized the gravity of the situation as well. If something were to happen to Mount
Chumen, it would add more to Ye Fan''s already bursting te.
Tang Yun shook her head. “Not necessarily. The monster''s reawakening isn''t necessarily bad news
for Eigetsu and the others. The Jones family''s ancestors could control the monster, but his
descendants have lost the skill to control beasts long ago. And without anyone controlling it, chaos
will follow when the monster returns. Your men can escape when that happens,” Tang Yun
concluded.
Ye Fan felt more at ease after that.
Tang Yun then said, “But this is not the time to talk about that. You''re badly hurt. We must leave
now. You can''t do anything to help them with that kind of injury anyway.” She took Ye Fan and fled
the mountain.
A momentter, they disappeared into the night, while chaos ensued on Mount Chumen.
It was as if Armageddon hade early. mes engulfed the sky, and cracks appeared on the
ground, while a great fire charred everything on the mountain.
The phenomenonsted for an hour. An hour of chaoster, a behemoth appeared from the ground
and shot up into the sky. Everyone on Mount Chumen felt something blotting out the moonlight, and
when they looked up, they saw a gigantic monster with six ming wings floating up above.
The monster looked like sephirot, the angels of legend. The sun and moon were blotted that day,
their light reced by the holiness and majesty of God.
Countless humans were on their knees, begging for the holy sephirot to cleanse them of their sins
like the fervent believers they were. All evil was pierced through by the light of God, and all
darkness cowered before the holy judgment that came from the heavens.
Eventually, the people could vaguely make out the silhouette of a man standing proudly atop the
sixwinged sephirot. His eyes were blue, but his pupils were golden. It was as if the man had
ascended the throne and taken the reins of the world beneath him. All life existed for one reason—
to serve him.
Chu Zhengliang was still tortured on Mount Chumen but when he saw the person who was standing
atop the six-winged creature, he shed a tear of happiness, for he knew all the pain he suffered was
worth it in the end.
The chaos on Mount Chumensted for a night, eventually prompting Anndur''s military''s
interference. Millions of soldiers made their way to the mountain, and battle jets circled the sky
above. Battleships were on the sea, waiting for the order to attack, and countless missiles were
aimed at Mount Chumen.
The signs of a bloody battle were taking ce, but fortunately, Anndur''s military made contact
with Chu Sect''s top brass and realized that things were under control. The events that happened
the night before were just a result of civil unrest, and everything had been settled. At least, that was
what they said.
Thanks to that, they prevented a bombing from falling upon them. After stopping Anndur from
attacking them, Chu Yuan stood on top of the mountain and called for an emergency meeting.
He wanted all the elders, vice Hall Masters, and the top brass of the Three Families of the Chu Sect
to stop chasing Ye Fan ande back for the meeting.
Chu Yuan waited for a whole day outside the doors of Chu Sect Castle, but Tang Yun never
appeared.
“Where is Tang Yun? Tell me, where is she?” Chu Yuan started shouting in hysteria, his face was
contorted with rage.
Even without anyone answering him, he knew why Tang Yun hadn''t shown up. Someone had
reported what they saw to him earlier. They said someone noticed Tang Yun and Ye Fan leaving the
mountain the night before.
Chu Yuan did not believe it when he first heard about it. He could never believe Tang Yun would
leave with Ye Fan. After all, she was a mature woman who would always make the best choices. He
thought she would never turn her back on him or the sect that she had spent her whole life building
up.
That was why he called for the emergency meeting. He wanted to see if his pride and joy would
return. She was the sect leader, after all. However, the result disappointed Chu Yuan. He waited for
a whole day, but Tang Yun never showed up for the meeting.
Laughing maniacally, he spat, “Chu Tianfan! D*mn you! D*mn you to hell! You''ve destroyed my
family, and now you''re bringing my sect to ruin as well?”
Chu Yuan had been silent for the whole day, but eventually, he could not hold his fury and sorrow
back anymore. In the end, all he could do wasugh, but there was no delight in hisughter. There
was but sorrow and disappointment.
It was then that Chu Yuan realized that the person he had exiled had grown into a truly terrifying
entity. He thought Ye Fan could never amount to anything in his life, but not only did Ye Fan
imprison the head of the Chu family, but he even took the head of the Chu Sect away with him.
He intends to destroy the Chu family and the Chu Sectpletely. Chu Yuan had to admit that Ye
Fan was a greater strategist than himself.
