Chapter 1971 - 1807: Fussy and Indecisive
"Among the major forces in the Hermit Realm, the one I don’t know about is the Shen Family’s location. Finding Shen Han might be troublesome. And since Shen Han failed in his attack on you, he definitely won’t show himself publicly for a while; you won’t have a good chance to kill him."
Dongfang Yun spoke, her eyes turning as if she had thought of something, and then continued: "By the way, there is a chance for you to eliminate Shen Han."
Song Yun’s eyes lit up: "What chance?"
Dongfang Yun said: "In a few months, it will be the grand event of the Hermit Realm, the ’Four Gates Tournament’; by then, you will have the chance to fight Shen Han."
Song Yun asked: "’Four Gates Tournament’? What’s that?"
Dongfang Yun explained: "Every twelve years, the Hermit Realm organizes a Four Gates Tournament. ’Four Gates’ refers to the four strongest forces in the Hermit Realm, each sending their people to participate and compete. Besides that, other forces or Loose Cultivators can also sign up to participate."
"Shen Han, as the Shen Family’s trump card, will certainly participate. At that time, as a Loose Cultivator, you can sign up, and you’ll have a chance to meet him on the arena and fight openly."
Four Gates Tournament!
Song Yun mused, then asked: "At that time, can you kill people?"
"Killing is possible."
Dongfang Yun said, but then shifted the topic, "But, at that time, the high-ranking members of the Shen Family will be watching, and if you want to kill Shen Han, you might face their obstruction. After all, the Shen Family has SSS-level experts, whose power far exceeds the SS level."
Song Yun smiled: "As long as killing is possible, then I’m relieved. Shen Han, I can kill him in an instant. Even if the Shen Family wants to stop, it’ll be too late."
"I almost forgot about your Black Light Broken Sword. With that Magic Artifact, coupled with your peculiar movement technique, you indeed can kill Shen Han instantly."
Dongfang Yun nodded, but then showed a worried look and continued, "However, if you reveal the Black Light Broken Sword at the Four Gates Tournament, won’t the whole Hermit Realm know about it? At that time, surely someone will target you, creating a huge problem for yourself."
That made sense, and Song Yun couldn’t help but consider it.
After all, if others wanted to seize his Black Light Broken Sword, even though he is powerful now, he is not yet capable of opposing the entire Shen Family.
Moreover, at that time, it’s not only the Shen Family who will be interested in the Black Light Broken Sword.
"Let’s talk about it then, maybe without the Black Light Broken Sword, I can still kill Shen Han."
Song Yun thought for a moment, then said to Dongfang Yun: "Moreover, the Four Gates Tournament is a grand event of the Hermit Realm; I want to witness it and see the Hermit Realm’s situation."
Dongfang Yun nodded: "During the Four Gates Tournament, except for a few Loose Cultivators, almost all the experts of the Hermit Realm will gather together; it is indeed a grand event."
Song Yun asked: "By the way, where is the Four Gates Tournament held?"
Dongfang Yun said: "’The Four Gates Tournament is hosted in rotation by the four strongest forces in the Hermit Realm. This time, it’s our Changshan Sect’s turn. By then, everyone arrives at Changshan seven days in advance."
Speaking of the Changshan Sect, Song Yun asked in confusion: "I’ve been to Changshan before; how come I didn’t see any sect there?"
Dongfang Yun laughed: "If it were that easy for mundane people to find, the Hermit Realm would have long been exposed to the public eye, and it would be impossible to maintain its purity."
"Makes sense."
Song Yun chuckled and asked, "How do I sign up for the Four Gates Tournament?"
Dongfang Yun patted her chest and said: "Don’t worry about this; the registration is handled by people from the Changshan Sect. I’ll pull some strings for you to sign up."
Song Yun laughed: "Hehehe, then thank you very much. When the time comes, contact me, and I’ll go to Changshan. When I arrive at Changshan, make sure you come out to meet me; I can’t find your mountain gate."
Dongfang Yun said: "I’ll be quite busy; I’ll send you a map, and you can find it yourself."
Clip-clop, clip-clop...
As the two were conversing, suddenly from the direction of Mondenlo Mountain, came the sound of horse hooves.
The sound was not dense, about three or four horses.
Dongfang Yun showed a look of alertness and said to Song Yun: "Someone’s coming, hurry and leave."
"Quick, come into my arms."
Song Yun flashed a mischievous smile and opened his arms.
"Quick, come into my arms."
Hearing Song Yun’s words, Dongfang Yun was momentarily stunned.
But she understood Song Yun meant to carry her away from the place.
Though she was mid-SS level, she wasn’t good at movement techniques, and her speed was far inferior to Song Yun’s.
And at this moment, those coming from Mondenlo Mountain were on horseback, and from the sound, they would soon turn out of the mountain fold.
At her speed, she wouldn’t be able to dodge them and would be discovered.
So, having Song Yun carry her away was the best choice.
These thoughts flashed through Dongfang Yun’s mind in an instant, leading her to a decision.
Although feeling a bit shy, she gathered her courage and flew into Song Yun’s embrace, saying in a low voice: "Let’s go."
"Hehe."
Song Yun let out a mischievous laugh, holding Dongfang Yun tightly, and used Phantom Step.
Seconds later, they reached the slope of one of the mountains around Kuga Lake, hiding behind a large rock.
Just as they hid, from the direction of Mondenlo Mountain, three horses galloped out.
These three horses were very tall and handsome, with glossy coats, all top-grade horses.
And the riders, three middle-aged men about forty years old, with sharp eyes and strong builds, all had reached the Refinement Realm.
They wore rough leather coats, swinging whips to drive their fine horses toward the exploded vehicle.
At this time, behind the rock on the hill.
Song Yun held Dongfang Yun tightly, feeling the warmth in his arms, the softness like jade. Though there was a thick down jacket between them, he could still feel Dongfang Yun’s delicate figure.
