Chapter 1683: Chapter 359: Kunlun Foothill – Hidden Glory

Doctor Hua raised an eyebrow: "That’s right."

Qiao Bowen laughed: "This is really quite a coincidence."

Fate? Haha, Yun Ya didn’t think so.

Doctor Hua checked Qiao Bowen’s pulse, left some medicine, and bade farewell. Yun Ya saw him off.

"You deliberately brought me here, knowing Grandpa Qiao would treat me differently. What do you want?" Yun Ya asked calmly.

"You want to know? I just won’t tell you." Doctor Hua stroked his beard, cheerfully walked away, and San Qi nodded at Yun Ya before quickly following with a medicine box.

Yun Ya smiled as he glanced at his departing figure, "What medicine is being sold in that gourd?"

——

Eight hundred miles east of City J lies Kunlun Mountain, due to its bowl-shaped body, it is also known as Kunlun Hill.

The "Divine Oddities Scripture" by Dongfang Shuo states: "Kunlun has a copper pillar, reaching the heavens, known as the Pillar of Heaven, with a circumference of three thousand miles, circular and sharp, beneath the copper pillar is a house, with walls a hundred zhang square."

Legend has it that it was transformed from Pangu opening the heavens and the earth. This is the ancestral line of the Huaxia dragon, and also the origin of Huaxia civilization. Too many ancient legends are related to it—its beauty, its mystery, its legend—have been praised and passed down for thousands of years.

And deep within Kunlun Mountain, in a mysterious and inaccessible area, lies a powerful and secretive family.

From ancient times to the present, some mysterious legends have been passed down, most of which are related to martial prowess. Those mysterious martial families have gradually been obliterated in the long river of time, yet those obsessed with martial arts have never forgotten to search for the traces of these martial families.

The Helian Family, three hundred years ago, its Family Head, Helian Yi, assisted an emperor in achieving great success, earning the title of War God. After achieving fame and success, the emperor wanted to bestow upon him the title of Duke of Dingguo, second only to the emperor, but Helian Yi resigned and refused the emperor’s reward, claiming it was destiny, and he merely followed it. Because he was too powerful, the emperor did not completely trust him and sent troops to find him, but he and his family disappeared completely from the world, leaving the emperor without news for the rest of his life. From then on, a saying spread: the one who obtains the Helian Family Head gains the world. However, with the change of dynasties, many sought this family, but no trace was ever found, only increasingly mysterious legends remained.

Later, there was a rumor that the Helian Family was actually the descendants of the War God Bai Qi from the Warring States period. In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi buried four hundred thousand troops of Zhao State alive. The guest of Plain King, Su Dai, used a scheme to make Prince Qin Zhao suspect Bai Qi, resulting in him being stripped of his title and titles, and executed by the emperor’s decree outside Xianyang City. A generation’s War God couldn’t die on the battlefield but died at the hands of the emperor he had arduously assisted. In rage, he drew his sword and committed suicide, his fall shaking the seven states.

However, it is rumored that Bai Qi didn’t die back then but was saved by a servant. However, he died shortly after and, before his death, compiled a military book containing a lifetime of learning, combining military strategies and martial arts into a timeless masterpiece. After burying Bai Qi, the servant retreated with the book and founded a family: the Helian Family. The Helian Family has strict family rules, strictly prohibiting involvement in the secular world, especially entering officialdom. But if there is a calamity in the world and the people are in misery, they are to protect the world, thus their presence in chaotic times. But when peace prevails, they choose to hide their achievements and fame, entering seclusion from the world.

For thousands of years, the legends of the Helian Family have persisted, surrounding the label of Family Head, always mysterious and powerful.

Yet, no one knows the real Helian Family is deep within Kunlun Mountain, where the natural cliffs form a unique system that no one can set foot in.

The mountain gate opens, and two black-robed elders come out quickly and kneel: "Greetings, Family Head."

Helian Mingyue gently waves her hand, and the two immediately stand up, looking at her with excitement.

When they saw a man following behind Helian Mingyue, clearly dressed as a mortal, they frowned: "A mortal?"

Helian Mingyue said calmly: "My friend, this time, I intend to send him to the Place of Trials in Purgatory."

One of the tall, thin black-robed elders spoke: "Absolutely not, Purgatory is a place of trials for the Family Head’s successors only, how can outsiders enter so freely, especially a mortal?"

"Indeed, please reconsider, Family Head."

Helian Mingyue walked straight inside and said calmly: "My decision is made, don’t speak further."

The strong aura of dominance and authority in her tone left the two elders speechless. Since the Family Head’s seclusion ended two years ago, she’s changed a lot, becoming colder and more domineering, ruthless.

Not only did she personally kill her cousin and sibling to regain power, but she also established many harsh rules within the family that were shocking to the extreme. The elders’ council became almost irrelevant in her eyes, completely stripped of power.

The tall, thin elder turned back and glared at the man, suddenly launching a swift attack. Yan Song was prepared and immediately blocked, but this person’s movements were extremely fast and tricky. Yan Song was kicked away within three moves.

Yan Song got up, rubbing his chest, his eyes filled with shock. This person’s movements were bizarre, similar to Mingyue, making Yan Song more curious about Mingyue’s identity.

The tall, thin elder snorted disdainfully: "Nice looks, but too weak. Young man, you can’t even beat an old man, aren’t you ashamed?"

Yan Song clenched his fists, now realizing there are always stronger people.

Seeing his silence, the tall, thin elder scoffed: "Idiot, hurry and follow, otherwise when the miasma hits at night, you’ll be waiting for death."

With that, he flicked his sleeve and walked away. The other short, chubby elder, however, smiled, resembling Maitreya Buddha, smiling as he approached Yan Song, his hands quickly moving around Yan Song’s body. Before Yan Song could react, all his belongings ended up in the short, chubby elder’s hands. The elder held a photo, smiling: "This young girl is really pretty, your girlfriend?"

Yan Song reached to grab it, but the short, chubby elder effortlessly drifted ten zhang away, "Haha, this young girl is pretty, really pretty, I like her...."

With that, he tucked the photo into his robe. Yan Song’s fists tightened: "Give it back to me."

"If you have the skills, take it back yourself." The short, chubby elder shook his head, waggling the phone in his hand: "What’s the password?"

Yan Song sneered: I’d never tell you.

The short, chubby elder raised an eyebrow, not speaking? Holding the phone under the sun, he suddenly laughed: "Okay, done."

He really unlocked it.

Yan Song frowned, watching the short, chubby elder shake the phone: "Why’s there no signal?"

"Forget it, let’s see if there’s any fun games to play."

Yan Song couldn’t defeat him, so he could only endure.

Sooner or later, I’ll avenge today’s humiliation.

The mountain gate slowly closed behind them. What appeared before them was a massive palace, surrounded by some residential buildings, the entire structure built atop a cliff, awe-inspiring.

Entering the main hall, directly facing them was a portrait of a figure, a martial general on horseback holding a long spear, majestic and menacing, the horse’s forehooves raised, exuding unmatched bravery and strength, capable of defending a position against thousands. Even with an army of thousands, he remained fearless and valiant.

Dedicating his life to protecting the country, resisting countless soldiers.

Yan Song’s gaze fell on the inscription in the bottom right corner. Before he could see clearly, someone quickly walked in, cloaked completely in a black robe, appearing very mysterious.

The newcomer entered and bowed respectfully to Mingyue: "Family Head, everything’s ready."

Mingyue gave a slight nod and looked up at Yan Song: "You should rest for a night. Tomorrow I’ll have someone take you...."

Yan Song shook his head, resolutely saying: "Let’s go now."
