Chapter 2367: Immortal Mountain Falls

“Young Master. Please do not blame me for not revealing my identity to you earlier.”

Wu Peng sat across from Tang Ming, offering an apologetic smile, and then spoke.

“It’s alright, Master Wu. I don’t understand your relationship with my father; what is the purpose of the Tang Family darts that you took out?”

Wu Peng’s strength wasn’t formidable, but he was exceptionally talented in forging.

Previously, Tang Ming had discussed Wu Peng with Hu Mei’er, and Gehou had personally conducted an investigation on Wu Peng.

As far as Tang Ming knew, Wu Peng had several factions behind him, considering him a tribute, although Wu Peng occasionally crafted some immortal artifacts for them.

But the rewards were not proportional to what he provided.

Gehou suspected that Wu Peng surely had some secrets. However, to delve deeper into these secrets would require more time.

Tang Ming did not wish to become rivals with Wu Peng, so he did not continue to investigate deeply. He did not expect that Wu Peng was actually a backup plan left by Tang Mosheng.

“I suppose I am half a disciple of your father. I learned forging from him. It was he who guided me onto this path.”

Reflecting on the past days when he was achieving nothing, yet was chosen by Tang Mosheng to learn forging.

Wu Peng appeared somewhat reminiscent.

Tang Ming nodded: “I see. Then why have you hidden your identity for so long, and now decided to reveal it?”

“This time it’s purely my personal interest in the Immortal Craftsman competition. After the teacher left Taoyuan World, even though I’ve had contact with him, he advised me not to get involved too much because he had many enemies on the Immortal Mountain. As you can see, Senior Brother, given my capabilities.”

Wu Peng laughed self-deprecatingly.

Tang Ming nodded, acknowledging that Wu Peng’s strength was indeed weak. If it weren’t for his prowess in forging, no one would likely take notice of him.

Wu Peng took a deep breath and handed a jade scroll to Tang Ming: “This is the last piece of intelligence sent from the Immortal Mountain. The chaos in Taoyuan World is about to begin.”

Tang Ming’s pupils contracted; he hadn’t expected Wu Peng to be in contact with the Immortal Mountain. Wasn’t the connection between the Immortal Mountain and Taoyuan World said to be completely sealed?

Tang Ming took the jade scroll and began to read it, discovering that the letter inside was actually from Tang Mosheng to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming, my son. Father’s apologies for not being by your side all these years. We were thrilled to see your wife and daughter, yet the Abyss Realm army is about to strike.

Like Taoyuan World, the Immortal Mountain isn’t so simple. Now, the seal between the Immortal Mountain and the Demon Abyss has completely broken.

Heading to Taoyuan World would only bring you greater calamity. Before leaving the Immortal Mountain, I altered the position of the seal leading to Taoyuan World. Don’t dwell too much on it. If fate allows, we shall meet again as father and son. Take care.

Tang Ming took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes: “So, the Immortal Mountain has fallen?”

“From what I know, at least half of it has fallen, because the seal between the Immortal Mountain and the Demon Abyss was always protected by the master. If that location has fallen, most likely the Immortal Mountain has too.”

Wu Peng sighed deeply and spoke.

“Alright, I understand. Don’t worry; I will handle it.”

Tang Ming was well aware that Tang Mosheng’s message indicated that once the Immortal Mountain fell, Taoyuan World’s downfall was likely not far away.

Since the Abyss Plane had passageways not only with the Immortal Mountain but also with Taoyuan World.

Wu Peng stood up: “Young Master, now that you know, I have nothing more to discuss with you; I have many things to attend to on my side. If Young Master needs anything, please message me.”

“Okay. The West Continent City indeed needs assistance; I hope you can help us, Master Wu.”

Tang Ming smiled at Wu Peng, who nodded in response.

Feng Shendao walked up to Wu Peng and Tang Ming: “Master Wu Peng, City Lord Tang Ming, finished your conversation?”

“Yes, we’re done. Master Feng, thank you for the Treasure Ore you gifted. I have matters to attend to, so I must take my leave.”

Wu Peng smiled at Feng Shendao and spoke.

Feng Shendao was momentarily stunned, then directed his gaze at Tang Ming.

The Feng Family and West Continent City and Jin Family were now in a honeymoon period. Tang Ming nodded in response to Feng Shendao’s expression.

Feng Shendao took a deep breath: “I have many guests here, so I won’t see Master Wu Peng off. Next time, when Master Wu Peng visits, I will be sure to host him well.”

After hearing Feng Shendao’s words, Wu Peng nodded: “The green hills remain, and the flowing waters long persist. Master Feng, until we meet again.”

As Wu Peng departed, Jin Baorong and Feng Shendao surrounded Tang Ming: “City Lord Tang Ming, what’s going on? What did Old Wu tell you?”

Jin Bashan, standing behind Jin Baorong, was direct by nature, looking at Tang Ming and inquiring.

Tang Ming sighed deeply, then said: “The Immortal Mountain has fallen.”

“What?”

Taoyuan World had been under the Immortal Mountain’s control for many years, naturally understanding the relationship between the Immortal Mountain and Taoyuan World.

The fall of the Immortal Mountain meant, what for Taoyuan World? It meant Taoyuan World was likely to be conquered by the Demon Abyss as well.

“What shall we do about this?”

Feng Shendao was initially quite excited.

After all, this time they had slain many of the Xue Keke Clan from the Blood God Plane and rescued people from the Twin Clan.

This indicated their strength was formidable and resisting that so-called Yigen was normal.

But if powerful figures from the Abyss Plane could conquer the Immortal Mountain, conquering Taoyuan World would be effortless.

“With generals to stop the soldiers and earth to cover the waters; Master Feng, don’t worry too much. Many things, even if you fear them, you can’t change?”

Tang Ming glanced at Feng Shendao, although his mood was not great, as the City Lord of West Continent City, the frontline in resisting the Demon Abyss, he certainly wouldn’t display it outwardly.

Feng Shendao nodded: “Since City Lord Tang Ming says so, I have nothing more to add. Just hope City Lord Tang Ming can safeguard Taoyuan World. My Feng Family will always be your ally.”

“With those words from Master Feng, that’s all. However, Master Feng doesn’t need to head to West Continent City. It’s enough with me there. There is still a formidable enemy here in Source Stone City, the Blood Ancestor Plane. Previously, Mr. Tie Zhu had already mentioned it to everyone. The Xue Keke Clan is merely a third-class family in the Blood God Plane. If such a small family is this powerful, what about the first-class and second-class ones?”

Tang Ming’s voice turned cold.

Feng Shendao nodded: “Alright, don’t worry, I will contact the nearby cities. Source Stone City is the central city on the coastline, and I have some contacts with the city lords of several other cities.”
