Chapter 528: The Great Grandmaster
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The great Dong Mountain was the strangest and most beautiful mountain . Facing the ocean with its back to the land, its front was a stone precipice as smooth as jade . To its back, there was a green forest nurtured by the fertile soil . In people's rational thoughts, it was impossible for anyone to go up or down the smooth precipice . This record was broken by Fan Xian .
The rear of Dong Mountain was also dangerous . Other than a set of long and straight stone steps that climbed steeply into the clouds to the summit of the mountain, there was no other way up . If one wanted to forcefully attack, they could only proceed along this path . Particularly in the narrowest part, if one man held the pass, 10,000 enemies would not be able to pass . It was a location easy to guard but difficult to attack .
The reason the rebel soldiers chose to surround Dong Mountain was because they were considering it from a reverse perspective . Since it was difficult to ascend the mountain, if the army surrounded it, then it would also be difficult for the people to come down .
Up until now, the rebel soldiers had good control over the situation . The Qing Emperor's people had broken through a number of times but had all been mercilessly beaten back . After being pushed back behind the mountain gate, the major crossroads at the foot of Dong Mountain were all controlled by the rebel soldiers .
The rebel soldiers did not think that although they had surrounded the mountain, they were not able to ascend even a single step .

There were 100 Tiger Guards on Dong Mountain . If this was a simple mathematics question, then they needed 14 Haitangs to be able to openly defeat the Qing Emperor's powerful guards . In reality, there was only one Haitang in the entire world .
At the Tiger Guards' sides, there was that the man whose foolishness contained a portion of brave heroic spirit that no longer existed in this world: Thirteenth Wang .
With such powerful guards, in addition to Dong Mountain's strange terrain, even if the elite of the rebel army succeeded in surrounding the mountain, to forcefully ascend the summit was still as difficult as reaching the heavens .
It was like the name of that long stone staircase, the staircase to heaven .
Although one desired to ascend to the blue sky, it was not possible for mortals to accomplish .
Thus, the black-clothed commander of the rebel army decisively gave the order to temporarily pause all assaults . However, he continuously reinforced the patrols around the foot of the mountain and blockade .
After giving this order, he turned around . Gently patting the horse's back, he said calmly to Yun Zhilan beside him, "At such a grand moment in history, you and I only have the privilege of being a silent bystander . "

Thirty years ago, there were no Great Grandmasters in the world . After the Great Grandmasters appeared, only then did people discover that a person's strength could be so powerful . Since they were so powerful, these Great Grandmasters could influence the circumstances of the world .
It was because of this that the Great Grandmasters lived in reclusion and rarely came out . They were terrified that their speech or action would bring turmoil to the world and affect the lives and deaths of the people they wanted to protect .
However, this place was the mysterious and beautiful great Dong Mountain, and it was the Qing Emperor at the summit . It seemed that only a Great Grandmaster would have the right to act .
Once a Great Grandmaster took action, the powerful and courageous generals and great sword masters would retreat to the back . Their brilliance was completely subdued like a piece of coal that couldn't glow . They could only hope to have the privilege of seeing history happening .

The long stone steps seemed to be without end . At a very high location, one could faintly see mountain fog floating . A man wearing hemp clothing and a straw hat stood calmly at the first step stone of Dong Mountain's gate .
The stone steps were completely covered with blood . Some were dried, and some were fresh . They gave off all kinds of disgusting smells . It was unclear how many Imperial Soldiers and rebel soldiers had paid with their lives for the loss or gain of an inch of soil .
He stood calmly, as if he was not standing on bloody steps but on fluffy white clouds . The mountain breeze picked up . The figure swayed, rising high like an immortal being . It seemed that he wished to ascend up 1,000 meters . He was not going to the heavenly palace . Instead, he was going to the temple at the summit of the mountain .
When this man appeared on the first step, the soldiers inside and outside of the mountain fell silent at the same time . There wasn't even a single cry of surprise . They were terrified of treating this figure irreverently .
The black-clothed man and Yun Zhilan, who had been on horseback the entire time, quietly dismounted and slightly bowed their bodies to the back of the normal hemp clothes to express their respect .
They knew this man had already come to the foot of the mountain last night but they didn't know how he had appeared in front of everyone . They didn't need to be surprised . The appearance of such people in this world was already an unexplainable matter .
The rebel soldiers no longer made any more movements . After the Tiger Guards, Imperial Army, and people of the Overwatch Council in the woods were silent for a while, they seemed to fall into a panic . No matter how loyal they were to the monarch and how much they loved their country, they had never thought they would openly be enemies with this person . In particular, the people of Qing Kingdom still considered this extraordinary ace, who liked to ride boats and float on the ocean, as the kingdom's guardian angel .
This god was about to ascend the mountain despite the Emperor's edict . As to what his goal was, everyone knew .
The Tiger Guards became nervous . The Overwatch Council Sixth Bureau swordsmen's mouths were a bit dry . The Imperial Army was so scared, they almost couldn't hold their weapons steady in their hands . To do battle with a god, this already surpassed most people's imaginations and mental fortitudes . They also knew that although the opponent was only one person, he was more terrifying than 1,000 soldiers and 10,000 horses, even if there wasn't a sword in his hand .
Ye Liuyun had no sword in hand . They did not know whether or not he had a sword in his heart . Last night, his sword had pierced through the sometimes calm and sometimes raging ocean at the foot of the mountain . It had pierced through layers of white waves, sheared off a reef, injured Fan Xian's heart meridian, and finally pierced into the solid stone of the precipice . The entire sword had disappeared, leaving only a slightly protruding sword hilt on the precipice .
Everyone knew that Great Grandmaster Ye Liuyun was even more terrifying when he had no sword in hand . The legends said that he had, for some reason that no one knew about, abruptly abandoned his sword . He came to appreciate the flowing clouds in the mountains and let go . From then, he entered the realm of a Great Grandmaster .
