436: Chapter 432 Chu Nianya 436: Chapter 432 Chu Nianya East Ridge Main Peak was quite colossal, not particularly high, but it had an imposing presence when viewed from afar.
It stood like a giant millstone surrounded by a pile of shattering stones.
The road leading up the mountain had a gentle slope but was rugged and strewn with rocks.
Lin Tian drove his car, bumping and jostling his way up.
The path was also very narrow, and aside from the constant crushing and popping sounds of the tires on the stones, there was a ceaseless friction of the vehicle against the dense bushes on both sides.
A convoy of three vehicles startled flocks of birds in the lush forest and bushes.
At the sa ti, one could hear the panicked scurrying of so wild beast within the thicket, evidently from the area’s desolation.
Should there be any human tracks nearby, it would certainly be rare to see such beasts roaming.
After about twenty minutes of bumpy driving, the group finally reached the summit of East Ridge Main Peak.
Atop the peak, the terrain was very flat, expansive enough to fit a soccer field.
In the center, soone had even built a small platform with cent and granite.
However,
this platform was concealed, invisible from below the mountain, except to Lin Tian who had probed it with his Divine Sense.
The platform was hidden within a dense forest and beneath huge boulders.
Once everyone got out of the cars, they discovered the platform and, after looking around curiously, walked over to it.
There were quite a few broken stones on the platform, and it was unclear if they were remnants from its recent construction.
“Who owns this burial site?” Zhou Li asked puzzledly, turning to Baili Muu.
“Never heard of it.
But look, there’s still a pile of stones over there, a bit peculiar, looking quite intentional.
It must be a gravesite that the local villagers have designated for their ancestors in advance!”
Baili Muu looked around the area with so indecisiveness, “I’m not sure which village nearby would go to such lengths to pick a site this remote!”
“Seems like it!
Just rural customs, I guess!”
Kang Heng, who had co along, nodded and said with a smile.
Lin Tian did not speak; he walked around the platform, took another look at the rubble on the ground, and finally his gaze rested upon the small stone altar within a small cave carved into the platform.
Or perhaps, it was just a random pile of stones heaped together.
Because after examining it all around, Lin Tian still could not detect anything unusual.
The stones on the ground did not seem to have been smashed with any tools, and were more likely broken by fists!
In a mont of silent shock, Baili Muu standing to the side spoke up again.
“Elder Zhou, the person you’ve offended this ti is quite troubleso!”
Baili Muu glanced down, obviously waiting for soone, and then continued, “That Shi Chong held a grudge against you for not settling the score, and when he ca back for revenge, he ended up being crippled by you.
Only you didn’t know, his Master is the Sect Leader of the Iron Sword Sect!
He wasn’t in charge before, but I’ve heard that after the previous Sect Leader passed away, his Master assud the position rightfully!”
“I’ve also received news of this matter; who would have thought that his master, Chu Nianya, would have such a wide network of powerful acquaintances?
Even Immortal Mountain True Man has been persuaded to co!” Zhou Li said with a grave expression, sighing.
Kang Heng, standing by, also beca serious as his smiling face faded.
“Have wide connections?
No, that’s not it!
While Chu Nianya’s cultivation has indeed stepped into the Martial Arts Grandmaster’s Innate Realm, he hasn’t reached the peak.
Amongst the many Martial Arts Sect Masters, his strength can be considered average!
However, the man himself is anything but simple!”
Baili Muu sneered, “His special skill lies in his way of handling won!”
“His way of handling won?”
Zhou Li looked surprised, his face showing confusion.
Lin Tian and Kang Heng also couldn’t help but look towards Baili Muu, wondering what made Chu Nianya so exceptional.
“Shi Chong, what do you think of his talent?
In the Iron Sword Sect, he’s only diocre at best!
The reason he has Chu Nianya’s support is because Shi Chong’s daughter has beco Chu Nianya’s woman!
That woman, despite being thirty to forty years younger, is madly in love with Chu Nianya!
To put it bluntly, Chu Nianya is just really good at chasing won!”
Baili Muu slowly spoke up, explaining, “And so, Shi Chong has beco Chu Nianya’s father-in-law.
Naturally, Chu Nianya had to step in after you crippled Shi Chong.
Of course, these secrets were all ntioned to by Elder Sikou Zhen before, and that’s how I ca to know.”
Shi Chong was actually the father-in-law of the current Iron Sword Sect Leader Chu Nianya!
Lin Tian, Zhou Li, and Kang Heng all showed looks of surprise — this was sothing they had never anticipated.
“Not only that, Chu Nianya is also playing the field with several won!
Normally, in these ancient-tradition-following Martial Arts sects, it’s normal to have three wives and four concubines.
But for him to have won over the daughters of several Martial Arts Sect Leaders at the sa ti — that’s sothing you have to admire!”
Baili Muu gave a wry smile, shaking his head and saying, “You wouldn’t be exaggerating if you called him a master of romance!
His charm and eloquence — so many won have been unable to resist his sweet nothings!”
This man truly is a remarkable figure!
Even Lin Tian had to secretly admit his admiration.
In his past life in the Cultivation World, it was normal for capable n to have several wives and concubines.
But to win over the daughters of other sects’ leaders, all of whom were on par with one’s own sect, that was far from simple!
“Chu Nianya is indeed a wonder, I’ve seen many charming and dashing n, but none with such skills!”
Kang Heng also couldn’t help but sigh.
“That’s not all, there’s more explosive news!”
Baili Muu sneered, “The Immortal Mountain Sect ca to support him this ti because…”
“Because he slept with the daughter of the Sword Saint Mountain’s Super Sect Dark Ocean Peak Sect Leader!”
Suddenly, before Baili Muu could finish speaking, an indifferent voice ca from below the mountain ridges.
Following that, four figures sprinted through the thick undergrowth of the mountain, arriving in a flash on the platform and stopping in front of Lin Tian and Zhou Li.
Coming their way were none other than Ding Yutang, Qin Peilan, Deng Gang, and Xu Zhuyun — four disciples of the Red Cloud Sect.
“To put it plainly, the Iron Sword Sect Leader Chu Nianya is now the son-in-law of Dark Ocean Peak’s Sect Leader.
There is, at the very least, an undeniable relationship between the Iron Sword Sect and Dark Ocean Peak now!
Zhou Li, do you now understand the trouble you’ve got yourself into?”
Walking up, Ding Yutang stared coldly at Zhou Li and scolded, “If it weren’t for our master instructing us to co and give you a hand, you’d be as good as dead!”
The appearance of the four brought a rigid tension to Zhou Li and the others, who hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
“We pay our respects to the four True People!”
Zhou Li, Kang Heng, Baili Muu, and their subordinates all bowed together.
At the sa ti, not daring to refute Ding Yutang’s words, Zhou Li quickly bowed again in gratitude, “It was I who was ignorant and offended others.
I am extrely grateful for the help of the four True People this ti!”
“Being slightly skilled in Martial Arts has made you arrogant.
Now that you know you’re wrong, there’s hope for you yet!
But, considering that my fellow senior brothers and sisters are here to help, you should be kneeling in thanks, for even ants do not know propriety!”
Standing beside Ding Yutang, Xu Zhuyun looked down disdainfully at Zhou Li and scolded.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Qin Peilan and Deng Gang both changed slightly.
Ding Yutang hadn’t made things so final in his speech, but Xu Zhuyun had gone too far.
What was important was that upon arriving, Qin Peilan and Deng Gang had already noticed Lin Tian standing behind Zhou Li and their faces showed signs of apprehension.
Seeing Lin Tian standing there with a usual expression, they dared not act rashly and co forward to pay their respects.
Now that he stood on Zhou Li’s side, it ant he would stand up for Zhou Li.
With Xu Zhuyun’s harsh words, she had offended soone big!
