175 Priceless Treasure! (1/2)
”To challenge the Chains of Han Mountain!”
Su Ming did not turn his head back. Instead, he lifted his right fist once again and punched the bell, causing the 19th chime to ring in the air!
The moment the bell chime resounded, ripples reverberated through the air, gravel rolled down the mountains, and the Alpine Dark Turtle in the sky let out a sharp howl once again.
”19 times! Just how many times is he going to sound the bell? What is his limit?”
”Does he still want to challenge the Chains of Han Mountain? If he gets hurt when he rings the bell, then he’ll definitely die when he challenges the Chains!”
”This person is running rampant! Look, Lake of Colors Tribe has already sent someone here, but he still made the 19th chime when he answered!”
Sounds of discussions whirled up like a typhoon. As the sounds reverberated through the air, the old man from Lake of Colors Tribe cast a deep look towards Su Ming before he took out a plate from his bosom and threw it to him.
”By the orders of the tribe leader, we have acknowledged your right to challenge the Chains of Han Mountain. Lake of Colors Tribe awaits your arrival!”
When he saw Su Ming accepting the plate, the old man turned around and turning into a long arc that charged towards Lake of Colors Tribe to report back.
The people who had been silent in the three tribes found themselves unable to remain silent any longer. Right after Lake of Colors Tribe, a long arc also whistled into the air from the mountain belonging to Tranquil East Tribe. The person inside the arc was the Chief of War!
He came personally, and as he closed in on Han Mountain, the crowd gathered around the area immediately looked up.
”Tranquil East Tribe’s Chief of War!”
”He came personally!”
”Of course he would. This is the person who sounded the bell 19 times!”
As Tranquil East’s Chief of War approached, he did not stand in midair. He descended and stood 100 feet away from Su Ming. He looked at him and light flickered in his eyes. After a long while, he wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming.
”By the orders of my Elder, we acknowledge your right to challenge the Chains of Han Mountain. Tranquil East Tribe awaits your arrival!”
As he spoke, Tranquil East’s Chief of War brought out a plate and handed it to Su Ming respectfully. Once he did so, he gave Su Ming a profound look before he turned around and charged back.
He recognized this person before him, it was Mo Su!
However, he did not want to offend this person, especially since he sensed that there was a startling similarity in the presence between the current Mo Su and Si Ma Xin. A thought emerged in his head, and it made him even more reluctant to offend him.
”There’s only Puqiang left from the three tribes!”
”By right, Puqiang Tribe should be sending someone here by now.”
”It’s a pity that once Puqiang sends someone here, this mysterious challenger might stop ringing the bell and we still won’t be able to see the third beast on Han Mountain Bell.”
Su Ming stood by the bell and did not sound it again. He could feel that the rebound from the bell was becoming stronger. The 20th chime would definitely not be easy. Once he sounded the bell, that rebound would affect him.
The time it takes to burn an incense stick passed by in the blink of an eye. During that time, more people gathered around the area. Eventually, most of those who could not enter the third layer clustered outside.
Their gazes gathered on Su Ming and did not move for a long time. It was as if they wanted to see through the bamboo hat and the black robes to get a clear look of his face, and to see just who he was!
”He sounded the bell 19 times. If he is successful in challenging the Chains of Han Mountain, then this person’s fame will definitely be as bright as the sun at noon. He might even be able to enter Freezing Sky Clan!”
”There’s no need for that. He’s already famous!”
”It’s odd though, why hasn’t Puqiang Tribe sent anyone here?”
The sounds of discussions buzzed in the air. Many people cast their gazes towards the black fog shrouded mountain belonging to Puqiang Tribe.
Su Ming frowned slightly. He had waited for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, but Puqiang Tribe still remained silent.
‘I don’t have much contact with Puqiang Tribe, and I don’t really understand this tribe, but I can feel that this tribe is very mysterious…’
Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the mountain belonging to Puqiang Tribe. The fog in the mountain was very thick and filled with the air of death.
They waited for a little while longer, and gradually, the crowd realized that something was wrong. They looked towards Puqiang Mountain. Even the leaders of Lake of Colors Tribe and Tranquil East Tribe cast their gazes towards Puqiang.
‘They’re imposing their might using the situation!’
A freezing look appeared in Su Ming’s eyes as he stared at Puqiang Mountain. He had a vague inkling of Puqiang Tribe’s goal. They wanted to use this chance by not giving him the plate to show off the tribe’s mysteriousness and power.
The more Puqiang remained silent, the more they would catch the people’s attention. They would not refuse him the plate, but they would make Su Ming wait longer to elevate their own status.
”Puqiang Tribe has gone overboard,” Yan Luan averted her gaze from Puqiang Mountain and said calmly.
The same words were spoken by Tranquil East Tribe’s Elder.
At that moment, the black fog surrounding the mountain of Puqiang Tribe tumbled, and someone walked out from within. That person wore a black robe. He had an obstinate look on his face as he charged towards Han Mountain City, then he stood in the air above Han Mountain and lowered his head to cast a glance at Su Ming standing beside the bell below him.
”The Elder is still in isolation. Please wait for a little while longer.”
Once he spoke, the crowd immediately fell silent and cast their gazes towards Su Ming.
