Chapter 526. Overestimating Oneself, the Juntian Mountain Range, Great Battle

No one had expected this progression of events.

Initially, everyone had come to the Celestial Star to resolve the problem of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. Yet now, before the battle with them had fully begun, some people were already at odds with each other.

And those two parties were the Mohe Clan and Lu Yuan, whose name had become resoundingly famous and shaken the universe recently.

Neither side was someone ordinary people could afford to provoke. The situation exceeded many people's expectations.

Jiang Ningxian and the others did understand Lu Yuan and knew his true purpose.

The problem was that from the very beginning, Mo Gang of the Mohe Clan had seemed to target Lu Yuan.

No one knew the reason why though.

From the looks of it, he seemed to feel that Lu Yuan's fame exceeded his strength, and hence, chose to act in this manner.

The people around them could tell the two sides were on the verge of clashing, and despite themselves, they grew a little curious to see what would happen.

They also knew that an actual real battle could not break out between them for one clear reason. The most important thing right now was still resolving the trouble of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, and everyone was of the same consensus.

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Mo Gang of the Mohe Clan nodded and said, "Good. Then come along. Time is tight. We cannot delay any more."

Mo Gang then took his clansmen and some experts from other starfields and left.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan naturally said nothing more and prepared to follow.

"We'll go with you," Jiang Ningxian said at once, worried that something might happen.

It could not be helped. The Mohe Clan also belonged to one of the top ten starfields. They were powerful and possessed unfathomable reserves.

Moreover, they were facing the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons now. If something went wrong, it would become a major problem.

Even if she felt she could not do much, at least she was representative of the Jiang Clan name. No matter what, the Mohe Clan had to give the Jiang Clan some face, right?

Jiang Haokong nodded as well. He knew that under such circumstances, he had to follow too. Jiang Feiyi was the same. He had stayed on the Celestial Star for some time and understood the situation, so he was also prepared to go with them.

However, unlike the siblings, he was seriously worried that the two might actually start fighting each other.

Lu Yuan did not object to them coming along, because he understood what the three of them were thinking.

The others could just stay behind. After crossing space for more than a month, they really needed rest.

Everyone agreed on the arrangement, and they delayed no longer.

Lu Yuan, the siblings and Jiang Feiyi followed Mo Gang toward the place where the incident had occurred.

The Celestial Star was extremely large, but those preparing to go there had at least reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm, so the journey did not take too much time.

Both Mo Gang and Lu Yuan appeared very relaxed, as if they were not troubled by any of the happenings.

On the contrary, the siblings and Jiang Feiyi felt tense.

On the way, helplessness was evident in Jiang Feiyi's eyes as he said, "This senior from the Mohe Clan is very domineering. When he first descended, he had some conflicts with others, and his own combat strength is extremely terrifying. Although I have never seen King Lu before, I have heard about him.

"Anyone who dares provoke him will be met with retaliation, and he will not leave any room at all. The Eternals and the Ji Clan both suffered greatly under such circumstances."

It was precisely because he understood both of their personalities that he was worried. What if they started fighting while they were supposed to be dealing with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons?

"Your worry is the same as ours," Jiang Haokong said from beside him.

He was also helpless. He had originally thought that with the appearance of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, everyone would share a common hatred for the enemy.

Who would have thought the Mohe Clan would show up with such an attitude, and was practically looking for trouble?

Lu Yuan was not willing to step down either, so a battle between them was very likely.

This was what the three of them were most worried about. It would have been fine at any other time, but Lu Yuan had only just arrived on the Celestial Star.

"What I am worried about is that if Mo Gang keeps making trouble and provoking Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan might deal with him and the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons together," Jiang Haokong added with helplessness written on his face. After all this time, he naturally knew what Lu Yuan's temperament was like.

However, when Jiang Feiyi beside him heard this, he froze.

He said, "Holy Son, Mo Gang's strength cannot be underestimated. You know this as well. Although he cannot compare to those true supreme experts, he became famous throughout the cosmos long ago. King Lu... how is it possible that you think he could deal with them together?"

Of course, Jiang Feiyi knew Lu Yuan was powerful and had no intention of looking down on him. All the various rumors from before already reflected Lu Yuan's unparalleled battle strength.

But the problem was that to him, Lu Yuan still belonged to the younger generation. No matter how strong Lu Yuan was, there should still be a limit.

Mo Gang was different. He was one of the top experts of the Mohe Clan and had once fought a Celestial Seat Immortal. Although the final result had not been ideal, that alone was enough to prove his strength.

Lu Yuan had slain Creation Immortals, which was indeed shocking, but that was all there was to it. Of course, Jiang Feiyi himself had never seen Lu Yuan's battles.

At his remarks, the Jiang siblings beside him only smiled.

Indeed, those who had never actually seen Lu Yuan act or fight with their own eyes might have some estimate of his strength, but they would not believe he was that strong.

After all, Mo Gang came from the Mohe Clan. Strictly speaking, he was also an expert of the previous generation, and his strength had long since been deeply imprinted in people's hearts.

In the end, Jiang Haokong only smiled and said, "When the time comes, you will know."

After that, he paid no attention to Jiang Feiyi's reaction and continued forward.

Jiang Ningxian beside him did the same.

Before long, the entire group stopped.

Mo Gang stood at the very front, his aura surging without cease as violent blood qi rose from him like magma on the verge of eruption.

Lu Yuan stood some distance away and said nothing, only carefully observing the scene ahead.

Before them stood a massive mountain thousands of feet tall, joined to an unbroken range that stretched endlessly into the distance. No matter how one looked at it, this region was vast and majestic, and clearly no ordinary place.

The problem was that in the distance, black mist surged continuously. Strands of lightning flickered within it, giving off an extremely terrifying feeling.

Almost everyone present could sense that some kind of danger existed within that black mist.

"This is the Juntian Mountain Range of the Celestial Star. Although it is not very important, it still cannot fall into the hands of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons," Mo Gang said, his tone becoming extremely solemn.

"According to the information we received, there are three Extracosmic Heavenly Demons this time, along with a group of Celestials. Our goal is to force them to retreat at the very least. If possible, we should kill them to curb some future trouble."

Mo Gang looked toward the black mist in the distance. Clearly, before setting out, he had already made a plan and was explaining it to the people beside him.

His meaning was simple. He would deal with the three Extracosmic Heavenly Demons alone. The people beside him would handle those Celestials.

In truth, as long as he won, they would achieve their goal this time.

Mo Gang did not give Lu Yuan any orders and chose to move by himself.

He understood that Lu Yuan was not his subordinate. Earlier, he had invited the latter only on a passing impulse.

Now that they had to face the enemy in reality, he believed that he alone would be enough.

Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong exchanged gazes. They had not expected Mo Gang to stop provoking Lu Yuan now.

"It seems the Mohe Clan is still clear-headed when it comes to major matters. They know that no matter what, internal conflict cannot happen right now," Jiang Haokong said, getting the intention behind Mo Gang's actions.

He was not stupid. He understood it immediately, and he did understand the Mohe Clan. They seemed arrogant, but they also had principles. Their tempers were simply a little bad.

Jiang Haokong had indeed been worried that the two sides might fight.

However, things were different now.

"Yes." Jiang Feiyi also let out a breath of relief. He had been worried before, which was why he followed. Mo Gang's actions put him at ease.

Lu Yuan did not care about any of this at all. He merely looked ahead and observed the situation. He had indeed slain one Extracosmic Heavenly Demon, but that was nothing. He also wanted to see what it looked like when others fought Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Did one really have to rely on the power of Providence to completely destroy such existences?

As the saying went, know thyself and thy enemy, and you would never be defeated.

This time, he had left Earth not only to advance further in cultivation. More importantly, he wanted to understand exactly what the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were.

"When are you planning to act?" Jiang Ningxian asked, walking to Lu Yuan's side.

She knew very well that Lu Yuan was not someone who stood by and watched, especially when facing the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, so she wanted to know what his specific plan was.

"There's no rush. I want to see the situation first," Lu Yuan spoke softly with a calm gaze.

However, the battle had already begun on the mountain range in the distance.

Mo Gang led his clansmen without any hesitation and fought the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Just as the information he had received stated, there were three Extracosmic Heavenly Demons—the three figures entirely shrouded in black mist. There were also dozens of Celestials, each having reached the Immortal Realm.

The lightning coiling them was black, and each of them exuded a formidable aura.

This was an extremely powerful lineup, but even so, Mo Gang did not hesitate at all. He attacked, taking one step forward as heaven-shaking blood qi erupted.

His blood qi was fresh crimson, like the eruption of a star!
