<h4>Chapter 842: Chapter 844: Expressing Agreement</h4>


    Jian Chunqiu made this trip to verify all the facts. Only when he confirms who made the deadly move can he seek revenge on the assant!


    Chu Ge pondered for a moment, noting that these Shadow Killers were truly unscrupulous in achieving their goals, "What did the Dragon Group say about it?"


    Originally, the tension between them was already deep. If the Dragon Group believed their member was killed by Ancient Martial Arts, wouldn’t that just make things worse?


    It seemed these Shadow Killers intended to incite them to kill each other.


    Thinking this, Chu Ge looked at Jian Chunqiu curiously and asked, "Uncle Jian, did you hear any news from the Dragon Group’s side?"


    Jian Chunqiu nodded, "Miss Man Sha has informed me of everything. Tomorrow at Fangding Mountain, our Ancient Martial Arts and the Dragon Group will have a fairpetition."


    "Fangding Mountain?" Chu Ge was puzzled as to why they would choose such a ce.


    The terrain of Fangding Mountain is very steep, with almost no trees, only rocks that are rather jagged. If an ordinary person tries to climb, they could easily fall to their death.


    "Indeed, choosing Fangding Mountain was a mutual decision by both Ancient Martial Arts and the Dragon Group. Due to the terrain, it’s almost impossible to set up an ambush. Even if those Shadow Killers want to take advantage, they won’t have the chance."


    Chu Ge looked at Jian Chunqiu even more puzzled, "Uncle Jian, you just said that this was a mutually decided result by Ancient Martial Arts and the Dragon Group?"


    Jian Chunqiu nodded again.


    "Did you go out this time for a meeting with the Dragon Group?" Chu Ge asked again in surprise.


    Jian Chunqiu knew what Chu Ge was thinking, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, though he wasn’t really in the mood to smile, "This meeting was ast-minute decision. It was more like an arrangement between Long Ang and me; no one else was present at the time."


    Chu Ge furrowed his brows, "And who is this Long Ang?"

    Jian Chunqiu exined, "Long Ang is the captain of the Dragon Group. Despite being the captain, he finds many of the group’s rules absurd. In truth, he has always wanted a fair duel with Ancient Martial Arts, but it wasn’t permitted from above."


    Up to now, Chu Ge still didn’t know whether the so-called Dragon Group was just an organization or a name for the martial arts they practiced, simr to the term Ancient Martial Arts.


    "Originally, their lineage didn’t have a name. Later, to counter our Ancient Martial Arts, they organized into the Dragon Group, and soon everyone referred to their lineage as the Dragon Group."


    Chu Ge nodded, "You just mentioned that Long Ang also dislikes the management system of the Dragon Group, but as the captain, doesn’t he have the authority to manage it?"


    Jian Chunqiu shook his head, "Though our Ancient Martial Arts have many sects, each operates independently from one another, but the Dragon Group is different. The captain’s authority is not significant, and even the rules in the organization are set by their elders."


    Chu Ge wasn’t very familiar with the Dragon Group, but after hearing this, he felt a bit sympathetic for Long Ang.


    "The Gambling Stone Field doesn’t need to open tomorrow. Lin Dong and Lin Zhao, along with Huo Tianqian, you all wille with me to Fangding Mountain."


    The next day, Fangding Mountain.


    Fangding Mountain was deste, without even half a green sapling in sight.


    It was Chu Ge’s first visit to Fangding Mountain, having only heard about its legend from the old master.


    Lin Zhao, being a native of the Capital City, had naturally heard of Fangding Mountain’s legend, but he never expected it to have be so barren.


    "My father told me that Fangding Mountain was once one of the most famous historical sites in the Capital City, but within just a few decades, it has transformed into this."


    Huo Tianqian curiously asked, "How could it suddenly be deste? Even if it was barren, there should be some weeds. All I see is stone."


    Chu Ge’s lips curved slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. With a touch of regret, he said, "As Lin Zhao mentioned, Fangding Mountain wasn’t only a famous site of the Capital City, but also a sought-after cultivation ce for martial artists, because a very beneficial Spirit Vein ran beneath it, ideal for our Ancient Martial Arts cultivation."


    Lin Zhao and Lin Dong were new to Ancient Martial Arts, so the importance of Spiritual Energy was vague to them. But for Huo Tianqian, already at Postnatal Perfection, his understanding was much clearer.


    He looked at Chu Ge in astonishment, "Could it be that those martial artists absorbed all the Spiritual Energy?"


    That shouldn’t be. The so-called Spirit Vein shouldn’t be exhausted. Could something have happened at Fangding Mountain?


    Chu Ge chuckled, casting a nce at Huo Tianqian, "You’re right, something certainly happened at Fangding Mountain. Speaking of this, it was about fifty years ago. Those in the martial world fought at Fangding Mountain for three days and nights topete for cultivation rights there."


    Huo Tianqian couldn’t help but curse, "Damn! Those people, Fangding Mountain is vast; each could cultivate separately. What was there to argue about?"


    Chu Ge lightly shook his head, with a hint of bitterness, "People at that time weren’t as open-minded as you. Everyone wanted Fangding Mountain for themselves. Because of their endless fighting, although a winner was eventually dered, the defeated were unwilling, which led to some very irrational decisions."


    Lin Dong and Lin Zhao intently watched Chu Ge, waiting for him to continue.


    They stood at the foot of Fangding Mountain, while others were already heading up. These people were from the Ancient Martial Artsmunity, and no one from the Dragon Group was to be seen yet.


    Those discussing the legends of Fangding Mountain were filled with regret in their voices.


    Huo Tianqian continued to press, "What decisions?"


    Chu Ge sped his hands behind his back. Standing at the foot of Fangding Mountain, he slowly raised his eyes. Its altitude is not high—only 1,700 meters—but with multiple ovepping peaks, one could hardly imagine the once lush greenery.


    But all that is gone.


    "Those people joined forces to destroy the Spirit Vein beneath Fangding Mountain."


    Chu Ge’s tone was somewhat ethereal, with a touch of regret.


    Upon hearing this, Huo Tianqian immediately cursed, "What bastards, so selfish! I’m ashamed of them!"


    Lin Dong and Lin Zhao exchanged a look and both nodded in agreement!
