--- Chapter 79 ---
Endless Mountain, A place where countless disputes ended with blood.
It's located on the west side of the Black-Corner Region, with all kinds of dangerous magical beasts inside it.
Nonetheless, Endless Mountain became famous because so many lives, whether human or not, were shed. Countries waged war for hundreds of years in this place, drenching the once lush land into a dreadful mountain range.
People rumored the dying souls of those lives haunted this place for eternity, frightening everyone who took a step inside endlessly.
It's also a place full of opportunities with several hidden treasures.
The tournament to renew the Black Ranking was "promptly." decided, and all factions agreed to get it held in Endless Mountain. After all, that mountain range is the most suitable place for the bloodbath.
Not to mention all factions could access Endless Mountain without much of a problem, except some small sects on the east. They had a long journey to Endless Mountain, so some went there earlier and set their camp.
The Eight Gates, Black Emperor Sect, and Demon Flame Valley have set their camps too. They waited for everyone to arrive while wondering if the new leader of Beast Taming Gate would attend this tournament.
Bai Ya should be in this tournament, no?
After all, he has to prove himself against the three major factions in the Black Corner Region. They were more surprised Blood Sect didn't join the tournament because the Blood Sect's Leader failed to advance his cultivation realm and died in an accident.
Honestly, it was such a shame and weird.
But they couldn't do anything about it.
Even though some people are happy because the competition is less crowded than before, this causes more trouble as the balance is "actually." broken between the rest of the major factions.
As the situation became more chaotic, they decided to hold a tournament or small competition to renew Black Ranking. It is the real reason behind this event.
...
...
Eight Gates Camp.
A fat-looking man sat on a dragon-shaped wooden chair.
He wore a golden robe with seven kinds of flower embroidery, having this rich and majestic presence around him. Opening his mouth, the man puffed out a white smoke.
"The smoke is nice." He commented casually.
This man is the Eight Gates' Leader, Yuan Yi.
He's also the owner of Black Mark Auction House.
Yuan Yi put the pricey-looking cigar in his mouth and asked, "Supervisor Yu, any news about Bai Ya?"
"He's been quiet for almost two weeks now. At this point, I wonder if he'd attend the competition."
Supervisor Yu bitterly smiled because any information related to Bai Ya was hard to get as if he was a ghost who appeared out of nowhere and created chaos in the Black-Corner Region.
"I will trample this kid and show him the real world..."
"Your life is mine..." His cold laughter echoed in the tent.
Hearing the laughter from inside, the 1st and 4th elder of Demon Flame Valley smiled too.
The first elder, Fang Yan, is a renowned master in the Black Corner Region. When hearing about Bai Ya's appearance, Fang Yan was suspicious, but Demon Flame Valley still has its founder.
He doesn't have to worry.
"Old Zhen, Demon Flame Valley will become the number one in Black-Corner Region again." He joked to his fellow elder.
The fourth elder, Xie Zhen, chuckled and returned, "Keke, Yeah."
...
...
Two days later.
The Endless Mountain is "literally." filled with people and other races.
Well, mainly strong people who wanted to observe the fight between the powerhouses. These observers are starving to see the new Black Rankings.
Weirdly, the main fighters seem to wait for someone.
A random audience was curious and decided to ask, "Why are they waiting?"
"It's about to become noon, you know? The sun is above our heads already."
A veteran from Black Corner Region clicked his tongue and returned, "Are you new?"
"New? Ah yes, I just arrived at the Black Corner Region to gain more experience."
The veteran sighed and mumbled, "That's why..."
"Even though all the experts have gathered here, the last faction's leader hasn't arrived."
"Oh? Who's this leader?"
"Bai Ya, the Beast Taming Gate's new leader. Man, where have you been? Just came out of your rock?"
The random audience shamefully reddened and coughed to hide his embarrassment. "W-Well, something like that."
Someone noticed something in the sky and shouted, "LOOKS, WHAT'S THAT?!"
Everyone looked up and saw a silhouette falling from the cloud, which was a white-haired man with a face mask.
The man dropped quickly like a comet, causing a whistling sound in the Endless Mountain. Yet he casually double-jumped when about to reach the sky, landing in the middle of the arena prepared for this competition.
"Sorry, I'm late." Baek Ain said with a smile under his face mask.
"You wouldn't believe the traffic."
"Haha~!"
'Bullshit! You're coming from the sky!' Everyone thought at the same time.
