What reassured the Demon Lord was that Chu Mo did not let him down!
The location chosen by Chu Mo surprised even the Demon Lord. Because this cliff, for Chu Mo, was also a significant challenge!
When Chu Mo had climbed over three hundred meters, his injuries began to act up. His hand lost strength, and he nearly fell off the face of the cliff. Fortunately, there was a small tree nearby, and Chu Mo grabbed onto it, barely managing to stabilize himself.
After his heart pounded for a while, Chu Mo continued to climb upwards with a straight face.
After passing through the first layer of clouds, Chu Mo looked up. With the help of the faint starlight streaming overhead, he saw that there was still no end in sight above him.
"The higher, the better!" Chu Mo muttered through clenched teeth.
Eight hundred meters...a thousand meters...Two thousand meters!
When Chu Mo reached two thousand and five hundred meters, the strong wind at his side became incredibly violent, and the temperature dropped drastically. His injuries worsened.
Chu Mo realized that if he didn't treat his wounds right away, he would struggle to carry on.
Afterward, Chu Mo sat down on the trunk of a barrel-sized old tree and began to dig a hole on the cliff with Heaven Slaying.
The sharpness of Heaven Slaying needed no confirmation, but Chu Mo was still amazed.
The extremely hard rock, under the Heaven Slaying, was like cutting tofu. Huge chunks of stone fell off with a crash.
However, by this time, pursuers had arrived at the bottom of the cliff!
There were many capable people in this world, especially those who came from large sects of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird continents, who were very well hidden.
Just as the Demon Lord had predicted earlier, sheer escape was not enough to shake off this group of people!
Among them were martial artists extremely skilled in tracking. Following the path Chu Mo had taken, they managed to track him down to the bottom of this cliff.
"Damn, how high is this cliff? It's so tall you can't see its peak!"
"Can we find another way, to go around? How can we climb this cliff?"
"Don't talk about our realm being sealed, even if it weren't, it would still be hard to climb with the strength of the gold stone realm!"
"If only there was a powerful person from the Understanding Heart Realm, they could fly straight up!"
"Quit dreaming, Elder Fu Long of our Understanding Heart Realm, is probably already been killed by the person who sealed our realms."
"Our Granny Qu from the Vermilion Bird Association, is probably not faring well either."
"That powerful person was too frightening…"
At the bottom of the cliff, a large group of martial artists from the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird continents were left in silence.
"So what do we do now? Do we just stand by and watch this bastard climb up this cliff and then escape?" someone said, irritated.
"Chu Mo is already seriously injured, he can't possibly get too far!" someone said coldly: "Moreover, I recognize this mountain! This is Lone Sword Peak!"
"Lone Sword Peak?"
"Indeed, it's safe to say this young man is seeking his own death. Seeing this cliff in the dark, he thought he could escape and climbed up recklessly. By tomorrow, he will realize how foolish he was!" the speaker sneered, "If he had kept running, given his agility, we would have had a hard time catching up. But since he's climbed Lone Sword Peak, everyone can rest assured. Either he'll starve to death up there, or he'll have to come down sooner or later!"
"What and where is this Lonely Pen Peak? Why are you so sure?" a man from the Vermilion Bird Continent asked.
It's amazing how things turn out in this world.
Moments ago, they were in the throes of a life-or-death confrontation, but now, it seemed like they didn't even remember the recent slaughter.
"My sect is less than five hundred miles away from here, hence, I can say, I'm well acquainted with Lonely Pen Peak!" The speaker, a middle-aged man in his forties, came forward.
He wasn't from Azure Dragon Hall, but rather an elder from a sect on the Azure Dragon Continent named Zhao Changhai.
Before his boundary was sealed, Zhao Changhai was a skilled practitioner in the realm of metal and stone. Although he was not widely known on the Azure Dragon Continent, he was somewhat famous in the Great Xia.
"The Lonely Pen Peak is three thousand feet high. A sheer peak!" Zhao Changhai said solemnly, "What makes it a sheer peak is that it's surrounded by sheer cliffs on all four sides with no slopes whatsoever! If you look at it on a clear day, it looks like a writing brush standing between Heaven and Earth. It ranks with Longevity Heaven's Lonely God Peak and the Heavenly Sword Sect's Lone Sword Peak as the three solitary peaks of the Azure Dragon Continent."
"So that's Lonely Pen Peak, one of the three solitary peaks. I've only known where Lone Sword Peak and Lonely God Peak are, this is the first time I've seen Lonely Pen Peak," someone marveled.
A hint of displeasure crossed Zhao Changhai's face as the corners of his mouth twitched. The unintended implication of the speaker's words was that no strong sect resided on the Lonely Pen Peak, hence its obscurity.
He said coldly, "Heh, while Lonely Pen Peak might not be as famous as Lone Sword Peak and Lonely God Peak, it boasts two marvels that those two mountains can't even begin to compare with."
"What are these two marvels?", someone asked.
"First, it has a bounty of primordial medicine. Lonely Pen Peak is difficult to ascend. Even an Understanding Heart Realm expert can fly to the top of Lonely Pen Peak but staying there for a prolonged time is not easy. Moreover, Lonely Pen Peak is vast, its expanse is several hundred miles. The mountain is abundant with all kinds of high-quality Primordial medicines. Most of which are extremely rare and precious," Zhao Changhai announced proudly, "This is the first marvel."
"And what is the second one?" someone asked from the crowd.
Zhao Changhai faintly replied, "The second marvel is the Dragon Fish of Heavenly Pond."
"Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish? You're saying that Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish is found in Lonely Pen Peak?" Someone in the audience expressed shock, looking at Zhao Changhai with disbelief in their eyes.
Most of the crowd displayed looks of surprise.
The Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish is a fish that is extremely rare on the Four Symbols Continent. Not only is it extremely delicious, considered one of the best cuisines in the world, but it also has a quality that makes all beings go crazy for it. Each Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish can prolong a person's lifespan by fifty years and has the miraculous power to cure hundreds of diseases and detoxify thousands of poisons.
This is not a legend, it's an ironclad fact.
However, this fish is incredibly small and rare, appearances are usually separated by dozens or even hundreds of years.
No one has ever figured out where this fish actually comes from.
Today, when this information spilled from Zhao Changhai's mouth, people were shocked and somewhat hard to believe if it was true.
In fact, even Zhao Changhai regretted revealing this secret after he said it. The Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish was, indeed, their sect's biggest secret.
He did not understand why he carelessly blurted out this confidential information.
He regretted his slip of the tongue, but since the words were out there was no way to take them back.
At this moment, someone questioned, "I heard that the Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish is found in the Black Tortoise Continent in the north, when did it become a specialty of the Azure Dragon Continent?"
"Yeah, I also heard that the Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish is found in the extreme north's freezing regions," someone else chimed in.
While Zhao Changhai regretted blurting out the secret, he responded to doubtful voices, "If you choose not to believe, so be it." (To be continued.
