Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 104: Huanggu Mountain!

Seeing Tang Le bring up the matter again, Li Tianhao was instantly enraged.

Tang Le continued to mock, "Don’t forget, if it weren’t for Brother Long’s great mercy in letting you off, you wouldn’t even have the chance to be here right now."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three Heaven Institute disciples changed slightly, and they quickly shut their mouths, fearing they might provoke more trouble.

Li Tianhao’s face flushed red, his chest burning with fury. However, he managed to suppress his rage and didn’t lash out on the spot.

It wasn’t that he feared Long Chen, but rather Chu Lingjun. If he lost control and beat Long Chen and Tang Le to a pulp, he would have a hard time explaining himself if she decided to hold him accountable.

He glowered fiercely at Long Chen and Tang Le.

He was a Heaven’s Chosen among the Heaven Institute’s Third-class Disciples, yet here he was, being repeatedly provoked by a mere Third-class Disciple from the Human Institute—and in front of his own people. He would reclaim this lost dignity one day, whatever it took! Absolutely! Otherwise, he wouldn’t deserve to be called a man!

About ten minutes later, Chu Lingjun returned from scouting ahead.

"Sister Chu!" The moment he saw Chu Lingjun, Li Tianhao’s face immediately broke into a wide smile. "Any problems up ahead on Huanggu Mountain?"

"There’s nothing to report for now," Chu Lingjun addressed everyone. "We’re still halfway to Qingyin Temple. Rest here for another twenty minutes, then we’ll set off."

"No problem," Li Tianhao replied at once.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Lingjun led the group forward once more, reminding them, "Remember, Huanggu Mountain is full of danger. We must be even more alert."

"Don’t worry, Sister Chu. With you leading the way and me watching our rear, there won’t be any problems," Li Tianhao said confidently.

His words were met with silence, leaving him feeling rather embarrassed.

Soon, under Chu Lingjun’s lead, the group entered Huanggu Mountain. Long Chen looked around. The forest was dense and eerily quiet, so much so that the only sound was their own footsteps. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

They walked for a considerable distance, deep into the Huanggu Mountain Range, and still, they had encountered no problems.

"This Huanggu Mountain is definitely sinister. Being here is giving me the chills," Tang Le murmured beside Long Chen. "Brother Long, do you feel it too?"

"Even Sister Chu is being this cautious. Huanggu Mountain is clearly no simple place," Long Chen said calmly. "In any case, we just need to be careful."

The other disciples from the Earth and Heaven Institutes felt a knot of fear in their stomachs and stuck close to Chu Lingjun. Among them, she was the strongest, so following her gave them the greatest sense of security.

Seeing them all acting as timid as mice, Li Tianhao couldn’t help but sneer, "You bunch of pathetic cowards. It’s just a mountain. Do you really have to be such wimps? I’m sick of you all! Every last one of you is gutless!"

"Senior Brother Li, don’t you think it’s been far too quiet on our way here?" a Heaven Institute disciple asked, his voice trembling. "This is Huanggu Mountain. This kind of silence is unnatural."

"What’s so unnatural about it?" Li Tianhao shook his head. "Just because this is Huanggu Mountain doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed to run into danger. I’d say you’re all just too jumpy. There’s no need for it."

"Let’s hope so," the disciples replied, nodding.

After they walked a bit further, a large patch of bright red flowers suddenly appeared before them, accompanied by a sweet fragrance.

"Wow, those flowers are beautiful!"

"To think we’d see such a spectacle deep in the mountains!"

For some reason, the disciples from the Heaven and Earth Institutes suddenly perked up. Their earlier tension vanished, and they began walking toward the large red flowers. Even Chu Lingjun felt a bit dazed, and Long Chen felt his own head growing heavy.

"Young master, snap out of it!" Xia Duoduo’s voice suddenly rang out in his mind. "These are a special type of Man-Eating Flower! Not only are they highly aggressive, but the fragrance they emit is also intensely bewitching. Once inhaled, you gradually lose consciousness. They’ve all fallen for it!"

The voice jolted Long Chen back to his senses. "A special type of Man-Eating Flower?"

He looked up and saw that, with the exception of the powerful Chu Lingjun and Tang Le who remained in place, all his fellow sect members who were Martial Ancestors were heading toward the flowers.

"Don’t go over there!" Long Chen yelled, but they paid him no heed.

However, his shout snapped Chu Lingjun back to her senses.

As the disciples drew near, the previously motionless Man-Eating Flowers suddenly sprang to life! Their stalks elongated abruptly. From within their petals, huge, gaping maws opened wide and lunged at the approaching Disciples of Martial Sect
