"Elder Yuehua, what's wrong?" Kong Xuanlian and Kong Moyu asked in unison.
"Another disturbance has occurred within the Mourning Mountain Range! That intruder has activated something inside the Mourning Mountain Range!!!" Kong Yuehua said.
"What?!!!"
Hearing those words, every person present had their expression change dramatically.
"Elder Yuehua, are you certain something was activated, rather than the intruder simply triggering a killing formation?" Kong Moyu asked.
"I am certain it was not a killing formation, but it was indeed a formation — and that formation… has already been broken by the intruder." Kong Yuehua said.
BOOM—
A heaven-shaking clap of thunder.
The members of the Kong Heavenly Clan felt as though invisible lightning had torn through their flesh and struck their very souls.
The Mourning Mountain Range — that was where the ancestor of the Kong Heavenly Clan had buried their inheritance. That inheritance… could be said to be the most precious thing the Kong Heavenly Clan possessed.
If they obtained that inheritance, the Kong Heavenly Clan's legacy would be complete. Perhaps they would even surpass the other three first-rate powers and become the strongest force in the Hundred-Refined Mortal Realm.
For so many years, how many of their predecessors had entered the Mourning Mountain Range seeking that inheritance, only to end up with nothing — or even lose their lives in the process.
And now, an outsider had not only broken into the Mourning Mountain Range, but had actually activated a formation?
What kind of formation was it? What if it was the very formation that housed the inheritance?
Would the Kong Heavenly Clan's final inheritance be stolen by someone else?
Unacceptable — this was absolutely intolerable for anyone of the Kong Heavenly Clan.
"Damn it!!!"
Panic. Just thinking about the possibility that their clan's inheritance might be taken by an outsider filled every member of the Kong Heavenly Clan with rage — yet they were at a complete loss.
That belonged to the Kong Heavenly Clan! It was the inheritance their ancestor had left for them — how could it be snatched away by an outsider?
"Do you believe me now?" Kong Xuanlian swept his gaze over the crowd, then turned and walked out. He intended to go to the entrance of the Mourning Mountain Range and wait there to block the intruder the moment he emerged.
"This person's crime cannot be forgiven." Kong Moyu said as he, too, headed outward. At this point, he no longer needed Kong Xuanlian to persuade him — he was prepared to join forces with him of his own accord.
After all, he could no longer afford to dismiss that intruder.
"Wait!!!" But just then, Kong Yuehua's gaze shifted once more, and an expression of utter shock appeared in her eyes.
"How can this be… this… is impossible?" Kong Yuehua stared fixedly at the formation, her face filled with disbelief.
"Elder Yuehua, what now?" Seeing her like this, even Kong Xuanlian and Kong Moyu quickly halted and turned back to ask.
They had known her since childhood. They knew exactly what kind of person Kong Yuehua was — in all these years, they had rarely seen her display such an astonished expression.
Yet now, at this critical moment, such a look had appeared on her face.
Just that expression alone was enough to tell them one thing: whatever disturbance the formation was displaying right now was absolutely extraordinary, and something far more serious might have occurred.
"According to what this formation is showing, the person who has activated a formation inside the Mourning Mountain Range at this very moment is a junior who is less than a hundred years of age." Kong Yuehua said.
"A junior?!"
"You're telling me a junior broke into our Mourning Mountain Range and actually activated one of the formations?" Hearing those words, setting aside everyone else, even Kong Xuanlian and Kong Moyu wore looks of sheer horror.
"Elder Yuehua, might you have misread it?" Kong Moyu asked. In his eyes, this was simply something impossible.
"Although the formation has rarely shown disturbances over the many years, I have been trained since childhood in how to observe and interpret the disturbances of this formation — to deduce what is happening within the Mourning Mountain Range from the fluctuations it produces."
"Therefore, what this formation is showing right now cannot be wrong."
