Chapter 20: Silver Horn Mountain

  After entering the Xiantian realm, Teng Qing Shan spent most of his evenings on the way to Yin Jiao Mountain cultivating and refining his Xiantian True Origin.

  However, this time Tufengshan rushed at an extremely fast speed.

  In the wilderness, maintaining a speed of nearly 800 miles a day, Teng Qing Shan arrived at Yin Jiao Mountain in just two days. Along this thousand-mile journey, Teng Qing Shan also encountered a demonic beast and an exaggerated number of poisonous wild beasts and insects, almost killing one every moment, thus arriving with a trail of bloodshed.

  "Mount Silverhorn!"

  Teng Qing Shan looked ahead at a steep and towering mountain, which was extremely precipitous and almost took the shape of a bull's horn. The top part of the mountain was pointed, and the mountain itself had an extremely steep slope, forming the 'bull's horn' shape. Because the rocks on this mountain were somewhat white.

  So it is called Silver Horn Mountain!

  This Silver Horn Mountain, from a distance, looks like a cow horn thrusting towards the sky.

  "Finally arrived, this road is full of beasts and poisonous insects, really troublesome." Teng Qing Shan looked down at himself, his clothes were tattered and stained with dried blood. "No wonder the post-heavenly warriors dare not enter the depths of the Savage Wilderness! On the edge of the Savage Wilderness, there are still some wild beasts and snakes, but the number is not many. But in the depths, it's simply their home! They can be seen everywhere. Post-heavenly warriors who dare to enter the Savage Wilderness almost certainly die!"

  Barbaric and desolate, it was known as a forbidden land. Teng Qing Shan completely understood.

  In the wild and untamed borderlands, warriors can still make their mark.

  Deep in the wilderness? Going is sending oneself to death!

  "Gurgling~~~~" Not far from Mount Tengqingshan, there is a stream flowing down from the mountain.

  By the creek, there were over a dozen deep purple snakes as thick as an arm swimming around. In the mountain forest behind, several wild beasts would occasionally flash by, and in the sky, some birds of prey would occasionally swoop down, grab a snake with their sharp claws, and then drop it from mid-air, killing the snake.

  This is barbarism!

  The lair of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects! The place where monsters reign supreme! A forbidden zone for humans!

  Teng Qing Shan walked down the mountain and went to a small stream at the foot of the hill, scooped up some water and took a few sips.

  "Hiss——" About one zhang away from Teng Qing Mountain, a deep purple giant snake with a nearly triangular head suddenly pounced and bit towards Teng Qing Mountain.

  "Slap!" Teng Qing Shan swung his right hand.

  The deep purple giant snake bounced back at a faster speed, blood splashing everywhere, and crashed to the ground motionless.

  "Haha~~"

  The other venomous snakes looked at Teng Qing Shan and immediately slithered away one by one. The bloody aura on Teng Qing Shan's body made these venomous snakes wary in their hearts. Wild beasts and venomous snakes are very simple, killing and eating the weak, avoiding the strong, or surrendering to the strong! Of course, Teng Qing Shan was a human being.

  These extremely powerful wild beasts may be tamed by humans with a very low probability. It requires skill and a great deal of patience and time.

  "I've only taken two days to get from Iron Arm Ape Mountain to Silver Horn Mountain. Those masters of the Iron Shirt School shouldn't be this fast." Teng Qing looked out at the western sky, where a sea of red clouds burned with sunset hues. "The sun is setting, I need to find a place to settle down for a while and wait slowly for the people from the Iron Shirt School."

  Then, Teng Qing Shan completely ignored the ferocious beasts and his body lightly jumped up two or three times, each time reaching a height of over ten zhang, and he had already arrived at the top of Yin Jiao Mountain.

  ……

  On the steep cliff of Yinjiao Mountain, about halfway up the mountain, there is a cave that goes in. It's about 30 or 40 feet deep, and Teng Qing Shan temporarily lives here.

  Hong Qing Shan sat leaning at the entrance of the cave, in front of which wisteria drooped down.

  Through the wisteria, Teng Qing Shan could see the mountain forest below at a glance. If someone came up from the north, Teng Qing Shan would be able to see them clearly. On this Silver Horn Mountain, Teng Qing Shan had been staying for two days now, and for most of these two days, he had been refining his Pre-Heaven True Yuan, but until now, it still hadn't fully transformed.

  Generally, congenital strong people need ten days to half a month to form.

  The internal energy has transformed into 'Prenatal True Origin', which is indeed a troublesome matter. In the past few days, Teng Qing Shan has also converted about 80% of his internal energy into Prenatal True Origin.

  Leaning against the entrance of the cave, holding a piece of roasted meat in his hand.

  "Hmph." Teng Qing Shan grasped a piece of wild wolf thigh meat and quickly ate it clean. Afterwards, he picked up his self-made stone water jug and took a sip of clear water. "For that Zhu fruit wine, I've filled all the gourds that can hold water with Zhu fruit wine instead. Can only use this thing to drink water... Don't know when the Iron Clothes Sect people will arrive either. If they're traveling at a speed of one or two hundred miles per day, it'll probably take half a month."

  Heng Qing Shan's barbecue wolf meat is also specially slaughtered and barbecued in the wilderness.

  It's better not to leave any signs of life on Silverhorn Mountain.

  "Hiss~~~" The sound of friction between rocks echoed, and Teng Qing Mountain turned his head to look at the side.

  Only a large green snake was seen slowly swimming from the entrance of the cave to below along the rattan. Seeing this scene, Teng Qing Shan couldn't help but laugh and sighed: "This is indeed the lair of venomous snakes and ferocious beasts in such a desolate place."

  Just at this time ——

  "Hmm!" Teng Qing Shan's eyes lit up, gazing at the five tiny figures in the distance below, resembling ants. "They've finally arrived! They're two to three times faster than I expected."

  ******

  Five people from the Iron Clothes Sect, including Deng Geng, who was a pre-heavenly strong practitioner, had a ruddy complexion and only had some torn and blood-stained clothes, but no serious injuries. However, the other four were in a miserable state, with grey faces and almost all of them were injured, one of whom, a tall and thin middle-aged man, even had his arm cut off.

  "Haha, Yinjiao Mountain, we've finally arrived at Yinjiao Mountain!"

  "Ah, we've arrived at Silver Horn Mountain. Once we find the treasure map, we can head back and won't have to rush like this anymore."

  "I will never set foot in this desolate place again."

  ……

  The other four people couldn't help but say, each one looking very excited. Deng Geng also smiled and said: "These past few days everyone has indeed been exhausted! But there's no way around it... Liu Jian went to kill Teng Qing Shan, but he didn't come back. Although Liu Jian's betrayal is a lowly surname, we can't afford to lose! We have no choice but to defend ourselves, that Teng Qing Shan found out the news from Liu Jian and notified Gui Yuan Zong's high-ranking officials to come over..."

  Wei Canglong smiled beside him: "Senior brother, everyone understands! Senior brother is also for my Iron Clothes Sect, we rushed to Yinjiao Mountain in just a few days. Teng Qingshan even if he wants to find a way to inform the Guiyuan Sect, it takes time to pass on the message from Jiangning City, and it will take even more time for the strong masters of the Guiyuan Sect to arrive."

  Deng Geng also nodded.

  Originally, Tie Yi Men was prepared to be cautious and hurry slowly. If Liu Jian were alive and returned to the team, they wouldn't have sped up either. But Liu Jian didn't come back.

  They were worried. Naturally, they hastened their journey to Silverhorn Mountain.

  The deeper they ventured into the wilderness, the more ferocious beasts and poisonous insects they encountered. Even Deng Geng, a naturally gifted strongman, couldn't perfectly protect the other four people, to the point where one of them lost an arm. This was still with Deng Geng's help; without him, it's likely that Wei Canglong and the others wouldn't have been able to survive their journey to Yin Jiao Shan.

  Barbaric, indeed very frightening.

  "It's still early now, let's go up Yinjiao Mountain first. Let's take a look and see if we can find the body of Wei Dan Sheng!" Deng Geng said.

  "Yes."

  The other four also echoed in agreement.

  The five of them immediately started climbing the mountain, with Deng Geng leading the way. Wei Canglong and the others assisted each other, and their speed was quite fast. However, the ferocious beasts and snakes that frequently appeared on the mountain were a bit of a headache. Although Yin Jiao Mountain was also considered a treacherous and lofty mountain, it couldn't compare to Tie Bi Hou Shan.

  The shape of the mountain is like a silver corner, if it's too high, it's unthinkable.

  "This Silver Horn Mountain isn't too big, everyone pay attention around. See where it's suitable for quiet cultivation." Deng Geng went up the mountain and instructed.

  Wei Canglong and the other three also dispersed and moved forward in different directions, following Deng Geng's lead. Their eyes were wide open, carefully observing all directions. As soon as they saw a cave or a stone house, they would immediately go inside to search thoroughly. If they couldn't find anything, they would continue moving forward.

  ……

  Teng Qing mountain, dozens of feet away from Deng Ge and others, quietly followed him all the way, every step was silent, his breathing weakened even more.

  At this time, Tengqingshan is completely different from its past appearance.

  He turned into a middle-aged man with scars on his face, and his body became much more robust. The war knife and the wheel gun were both stored in the package. Using human skin masks can change the height and weight of the body. At this time, Teng Qing Shan had completely changed his appearance.

  "What are they looking for?" Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow, "They're specifically targeting places like caves and stone houses, it doesn't seem like they're looking for 'Undying Grass'." Liu Jian had initially said that the Iron Clothes Sect came to the Barbaric Mountains to find 'Undying Grass', but now it seems that Teng Qing Shan is starting to have some doubts.

  Just then, a voice came from above.

  "Senior brother! The news we received is that Wei Dan senior is hiding in Yin Jiao Mountain, but... he may have left Yin Jiao Mountain before his death." said Wei Cang Long. His voice was normal in size, but unfortunately Teng Qing Shan's ears were too sensitive, and even tens of meters away, he could hear the conversation clearly.

  Deng Geng shook his head and said, "Wei Dan, after all, was a master from over 600 years ago. The information we have now is that after he reached the 'Heavenly Golden Elixir', he stayed in this Silver Horn Mountain to cultivate in seclusion. Whether he left before his death... nobody knows. We can only carefully search this Silver Horn Mountain."

  Another person spoke up: "Master, that Wei Shan, a senior from back then, was also one of the top ten super strong practitioners on the Heavenly List. He's been in seclusion here, and I think he wouldn't choose some remote, out-of-the-way place to live. It should be somewhere with good scenery, a relatively comfortable place."

  "Hmm." Deng Geng nodded after hearing it.

  "Let's speed up, ignore those small alleys and head straight up. Investigate the place where Wei Dan might be living carefully." Deng Geng instructed.

  "Yes."

  Iron Clothes Sect's group of five sped up significantly as they climbed the mountain. They never thought that someone would be following them... After all, they found out that Liu Jian didn't catch up, so they immediately rushed to Yinjiao Mountain quickly. In their opinion, even if the Guiyuan Sect knew the news, the innate experts wouldn't have time to rush over.

  "Hmm, Wei Dun?" Teng Qing Shan was somewhat puzzled. "A super strong expert who ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Board over 600 years ago must have died several hundred years ago. What are they looking for his body for? Could it be some sort of treasure? Generally, secret manuals and divine weapons aren't very attractive to Innate Experts."

  Teng Qing Shan had no knowledge of 'Wei Yi' in the past.

  As soon as you hear 'Heavenly Golden Elixir' and 'Top Ten in the Heavenly Rankings', you know that Wei Zhong is an extraordinary person.

  "Over 600 years ago, the Iron Clothes Sect is still looking for his body... " Teng Qing Shan couldn't help but think, what kind of treasure could be so attractive to the Iron Clothes Sect, "it must be a huge secret."
