I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 469: Chapter 289: Five Summits and Eight Mountains

The southern part of the Central Plains is an area filled with towering mountains and steep hills, with countless high peaks and deep valleys. Its scenery is the most remarkable in the Central Plains.

Among them, the five mountains and eight peaks stand out the most, magnificent and wondrous, thus, this area is referred to by the people as the ’Five Mountains and Eight Peaks’.

On the five mountains and eight peaks, there are five martial arts sects settled, and eight mountain manors built. The five sect leaders and eight manor lords are the thirteen individuals with the most authority in the area of the Five Mountains and Eight Peaks.

The Five Mountains, Nan Feng Mountain range, Quan Sheng Sect.

Two elderly men with white hair sit by the edge of a cliff playing chess, beside them are two stacked silver rocks, with a twisted old pine tree growing in between.

The breeze blows, making the pine tree tremble, it truly has an air of transcendence.

Just as the two elderly men are frowning and pondering, a young man quickly runs over from afar, stopping next to the chess table and clasping his fist saying, "Sect Leader Martial Uncle, there is news on the Crimson Cloud Scripture, currently it is said to be in the possession of Changqing and Fu Bo."

"The strength of these two is not low." One old man says.

He is Shangguan Shi, the sect leader of Quan Sheng Sect, with a Seventh Layer of the Inner Power Realm strength.

As for both of these old men who possess Seventh Layer of the Inner Power Realm strength yet appear aged and old, it’s enough to see how important talent is in martial cultivation.

Those who lack talent may have to wait until they are seventy or eighty years old before they possess strength others have achieved by the age of thirty or forty.

This time, a visiting Immortal Master from the north has specifically offered a Lifespan Extension Pill as a reward, which has greatly stimulated these aged strongmen within the Five Mountains and Eight Peaks. Everyone is eagerly eyeing it, secretly sending out their men, sparing no effort in searching for the whereabouts of the Crimson Cloud Scripture.

Shangguan Shi sets down the chess piece in his hand, rises, and speaks to the other elderly man, "Brother Lin, let’s stop here today, this time I must personally descend the mountain."

Lin Fengqing is a well-known strongman in the area of the Five Mountains and Eight Peaks, due to his good relationship with Shangguan Shi, he often resides within the Quan Sheng Sect to retire. Upon hearing Shangguan Shi say this, he nods and says, "No problem, Brother Shangguan, go ahead, I’ll hold down the fort for Quan Sheng Sect."

"Thank you, Brother Lin, once I return, we shall resume this game." Shangguan Shi expresses his gratitude, immediately leaps from the edge of the cliff, akin to a great bird diving down.

Watching him leap, his body technique is extremely agile, his toes touch the cliff wall swiftly heading down the mountain, soon disappearing from the sight of the two elderly men atop the cliff.

At this moment, the news that the Crimson Cloud Scripture is on Changqing and Fu Bo has quietly spread across the Five Mountains and Eight Peaks, drawing top fighters from various forces, and the area is about to erupt into a bloody storm.

...

Located in the southern part of the Central Plains, the pond wetland of the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion, Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan must cross the Five Mountains and Eight Peaks to get there. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Since leaving Cyan Sky Town, horseback traveling Qin Yuesheng has clearly felt that the situation on this land of the Five Mountains and Eight Peaks has changed significantly.

On every road, martial artists carrying weapons can be seen aimlessly wandering, as if searching for something.

"These people seem not to be from the same group." Bai Ningxuan comments.

"Could it really be about that Crimson Cloud Scripture?" Qin Yuesheng looks at the martial artists standing on either side of the road, feeling puzzled.

Just then, there is suddenly a sound of clapping and intense punching ahead, Qin Yuesheng looks forward to see five people assailing two others on a distant hill, as they fight the hill shakes, trees topple— these are unquestionably high-level Inner Power experts.

Five against two, as they say, a pair of fists cannot match four hands, those two are clearly outmatched, being beaten into retreat.

Qin Yuesheng sharp-eyed, instantly recognizes the appearance of these seven people. freeweɓnovel.cøm

The two under attack are none other than Changqing and Fu Bo, who were previously encountered in Cyan Sky Town, while the five attacking are comprised of a middle-aged man, a young woman, an old man, an elderly woman, and a young man.

Changqing uses a blade to defend against the two attackers, when suddenly another attacker ambushes from his back, landing a solid punch on Changqing’s back, causing him to spit blood.

Beside him, Fu Bo sees his brother injured, immediately swings his blade to repel his opponent, unleashing a Residual Shadow Frenzy Slash, aiming at the expert who attacked Changqing’s back.

Though Fu Bo is fierce, the five surrounding him are equally matched. Even though Fu Bo wishes for a quick resolution, things neither happen as he wishes.

"Hand over the Crimson Cloud Scripture, and we will spare your lives."

Changqing angrily responds, "I told you it was taken by Wan Guying. Where are my brother and I supposed to get a Crimson Cloud Scripture to hand over?"

"Since the Crimson Cloud Scripture isn’t with you, why did you two sneak off the main road onto a side path? Clearly, you’re making excuses!"

Changqing enraged spits blood again. Were it not for seeing experts stationed on the main road, avoiding trouble, they sneaked and then got caught, leading to this situation.

Now the entire area of the Five Mountains and Eight Peaks is bustling with news of the Crimson Cloud Scripture being with Chang and Fu, unwittingly becoming the most hunted people around, with everyone wanting to seize the scripture from them.

Thinking about Wan Guying somewhere watching the chaos with contempt, Changqing’s heart burns with anger. He’s never been used like this before.

"Second Brother, today doesn’t look good, I’ll cover you, you escape first." Fu Bo tells Changqing.

"Still intending to flee! Where exactly can you escape today?" The others promptly respond.
