Chapter 874 - 544: Thunderous Night Entering the Mountain! (Two-in-One)

Chapter 874: Chapter 544: Thunderous Night Entering the Mountain! (Two-in-One)

"Hoo, every time I return to Thunderstruck Mountain, it feels like the first time being numbed by the electricity. I really want to know what level or strength it takes to directly be immune to the energy magnetic field of Thunderstruck Mountain."

"First, you have to reach the Great Demon Level, right?"

"That’s for sure..."

Yves remained amidst the team, seemingly having adapted to the magnetic field of Thunderstruck Mountain, continuing to step forward.

"Hey, Yves adapted much faster this time than before," the Yellow Spotted Tiger Demon turned back to look at the approaching White-haired Tiger Demon, murmuring a bit more.

Yves glanced at the Yellow Spotted Tiger Demon, saying nothing.

A group of Mixed blood Tiger Demons did not proceed deeper into Thunderstruck Mountain; they directly returned to a row of stone and wooden houses near the mountain foot.

This was the residence of the group of Mixed blood Tiger Demons.

Without the permission of the Thunder Wheel Tiger Race Demon, they are not qualified to go up the mountain and can only work near the mountain foot.

Yves found his own abode, placed one hand on the door handle, and suddenly looked up at Thunderstruck Mountain covered with layers of black wood, calmly entered the house.

The house was not large and quite old and shabby, inside was only a wooden bed and two relatively flat stone platforms serving as a table and stool.

Besides, there were piles of dry grass for nests, a pile on the wooden bed, and two wooden buckets for water.

The cold mountain wind blew through the walls’ cracks, the house obviously could not shelter from wind and rain well.

Yves didn’t mind this and sat on the bed contemplating.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled again from the sky, drowning out all sounds. The purple-red night light pierced through the roof and walls’ cracks, casting the room in an eerie purple-red.

Under this purple-red light, Yves’s face alternated between light and shadow.

Suddenly, Yves placed his hand on his cheek and chin.

Soon after, his tiger face shimmered with fluctuations and illusionary light. When Yves lowered his hand, his appearance had drastically changed.

From the original tiger head, he transformed directly into a human look, followed by his figure also changing, finally becoming a man dressed in a white shirt and black robe.

This appearance was none other than Song Changming who arrived near Thunderstruck Mountain!

And in his hand was the tiger head mask that he had just taken off from his face.

This was a Level Six Talisman Tool, named ’Thousand Faced Man’.

The artisan of this tool was barely him, completed with the assistance of several masters from the Celestial Tao Academy.

Its purpose, as the name implies, allows one to possess a thousand faces.

Simply attach the target’s blood to the original mask and the wearer can transform into the target’s appearance, even perfectly masking aspects such as breath and scent.

Without powerful insight and perception means, even a Grandmaster or Great Demon would find it difficult to see through this disguise.

Originally, Song Changming intended to use this Talisman Tool to disguise himself as an Abyssal Beast to potentially slip into the depths of the Abyss unhindered by other Abyssal Beasts.

But unfortunately, that attempt ended in failure.

Nearby Abyssal Beasts near the seal could easily detect his disguise, proving futile.

But now, to infiltrate Thunderstruck Mountain, this first Level Six Talisman Tool he crafted finally found its use again.

The Abyssal Beasts may see through his disguise, but that doesn’t mean these Tiger Demons could do the same.

At least for now, everything is progressing smoothly.

"So, how should I ascend the mountain next..." Song Changming pondered to himself.

Thinking for a moment, he then activated his God-Binding Seal.

Meanwhile, on Thunderstruck Mountain, several imperial palaces stood.

Each palace represented a lineage of the Thunder Wheel Tiger imperial family existing there.

Due to Thunderstruck Mountain’s immense size, it could accommodate so many Thunder Wheel Tiger imperial bloodlines coexisting.

Among them, inside one of the palaces was the territory of the Tiger King, Fei Ge’s lineage.

In the underground prison of the palace sat a woman clad in black armor.

The woman knelt on the ground, her arms and head hanging down, hair disheveled, aura waning.

Her arms and legs were shackled with heavy manacles, each fixed to the iron bars of the prison, making movement impossible.

This woman was none other than the failed rebellious Princess, He Ya Fei Ge.

Suddenly, on her lowered forehead, a Purple Seal slowly emerged.

Seeming to sense the appearance of the Purple Seal, He Ya opened her eyes which had become incredibly dim.

"Really... coming to save me..."

He Ya understood, the iron cage around isolated the energy transmission from the outside, being able to distinctly sense Song Changming’s summon indicated that Song Changming was nearby now.

Thinking of this, her dim eyes regained some luster.

Song Changming’s formidable strength gave her a glimmer of hope.

Even though that hope was not great, it was still better than awaiting the execution, continuing to wait for death here.

"Speak, what is your current situation?"

Suddenly, a voice she was familiar with directly sounded in her mind, opening her eyes wider.

She recognized it as Song Changming’s voice.

She opened her mouth, but her parched throat could only emit a feeble cat-like whimper, unable to articulate other sounds.

"No need to speak, activate your spirit to touch the God-Binding Seal, just think in your mind."

At this moment, it was as if Song Changming was right in front of her, clearly seeing her every gesture, giving reminding words.

He Ya followed suit, when she touched her spirit to the Purple Seal on her forehead, it became more radiant.

"Master, I’m being held in the imperial palace’s dungeon, for now, I won’t be executed, you... where are you..."

He Ya transmitted the message in her mind but awaited only silence, causing her to become anxious, repeatedly apologizing and begging for Song Changming, her master’s forgiveness.

Forgiveness for her impulsive actions.

After she rambled for a while, finally, Song Changming’s voice returned.

"I’m right on Thunderstruck Mountain."

This statement made her feel her living hopes more hopeful.

"About Thunderstruck Mountain and the situation in the palace where you are, tell me everything you know."

"Yes, Master!"

By this time, He Ya wouldn’t conceal anything.

A long time passed, the conversation ended, the Purple Seal on He Ya’s forehead gradually dimmed, then faded away.

He Ya’s expression was somewhat complex, unsure what she was thinking.

At first, serving under Song Changming was a decision she made out of necessity, she loathed the Purple Seal on her forehead, even repelled it greatly.

In her view, it was akin to a mark branded on a slave.

Now, as this Purple Seal lit up, Song Changming’s voice transmitted like a ray of dawn into the darkness, giving her hope.

At this point, the only person able to rescue her wasn’t the Tiger Demon Race that raised her but this master she inexplicably acknowledged.

On the other side, inside the room, Song Changming’s Nether Sea Divine Soul also closed those bright Divine Eyes, the divine light fading.

Earlier, his God-Binding Seal only allowed sensing if someone harbored malicious intent towards him, sensing their location, not enabling such communication through divine thought like just now.

This later ability came after he cultivated the Witch God Soul.

As his Witch God Soul’s intensity increased, the control power of his Witchcraft would become stronger, the power would grow, the functions and effects would be increasingly complete.

Reflecting on the conversation with He Ya just now, Song Changming shook his head.

"It seems that I was too naive earlier to think Thunder Wheel Tiger Race dominated the vast Thunder Province for so many years, filled with deep roots..."

After listening to He Ya, some notions he had before coming were dispelled.

He initially thought to assist He Ya, the Princess, to overthrow the Tiger King, attempting thereby to destabilize the Thunder Wheel Tiger Race of Thunderstruck Mountain.

But looking now, on this massive Thunderstruck Mountain, Tiger Kings were never simply one, but a total of eleven Tiger Kings of equal standing!

The saying of one mountain not accommodating two tigers didn’t apply among the Thunder Wheel Tiger group.

Unless Song Changming possessed extraordinary power to sweep down these eleven Tiger Kings, otherwise his intent to destabilize the Thunder Wheel Tigers this journey was an unrealistic fantasy.
