Chapter 294 One Day's Battle Across Three Peaks (Part 1): Enter My Cage

Streaks of light followed behind Yu Que, like shooting stars in broad daylight, swiftly heading towards the depths of the mountain gate.

On the ruined Assessment Peak, the disciples trembled in the mountain wind, watching their departing figures with trepidation.

"An immortal, an immortal should be like this." A disciple was dazzled and couldn't help but groan.

Once Yu Que and the others had completely disappeared from their sight, they came to their senses and looked at each other in bewilderment, staring at the chaotic mountainside, unsure of what to do.

After all, the leader of this peak—the evaluator—is currently nowhere to be found.

Whoohoo!
When Yu Que and his companions were flying deep into the Huangshan Mountains, some disciples finally noticed that they were menacing and did not seem like good people.

The patrolling disciple, riding a sword of light, stood in front of them and shouted:
"You audacious madman, how dare you swagger around within the mountain gate!"

This person's cultivation level was not low. The light on his body was crimson, like flames burning. Judging from his voice, he was not old either, clearly a skilled expert in the sect.

However, Yu Que led his disciples to the Snake Clan, and he did not hesitate at all when faced with this person's obstruction.

"roll!"

Without even using his primordial spirit weapon, he swung his sword and instantly slashed his formidable opponent, sending him crashing down onto a mountaintop.

A thunderous sound rang out, and a cloud of dust rose from the mountaintop!
At this moment, cries of surprise rang out from among the several sword lights accompanying the enemy:
"The true legacy of Ma!"

"How dare you! You actually dare to commit violence against a true disciple of the Dao Palace!"

However, the shouts from the other party had already dissipated into the mountain wind before they reached Yu Que and the others' ears.

Yu Que ignored the other party completely, and after making his move, he swept across the mountain and disappeared into the distance.

Among Gong Dongxue and the others behind him, a few vaguely heard shouts coming from behind, but couldn't make it out clearly, so they wondered and transmitted their thoughts to the others:
"What were those guys yelling about just now?"

"I didn't hear clearly, it sounded like they were calling 'Ma Lou Bu Ma Lou'."

After exchanging a few words, seeing that no one had heard clearly, these people became too lazy to pay attention anymore and continued to follow closely behind Yu Que, speeding away in their escape light.

Only the group of "Ma Zhenchuan" remained, landing on the nameless mountain with dust and dirt on their faces, their expressions filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"When did such a powerful figure arrive in the palace? Judging from his imposing manner, he's only at the Ning Sha level." Ma Zhenchuan struggled to his feet, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, muttering to himself.

Whizzing!

Before long, the group flew to the ancestral peak of the Snake family within the Huangshan Taoist Palace, which was called "Snake Peak" and was left by the Snake family's ancestors.

When Yu Que arrived, he immediately hovered above the Snake Clan's great formation, just as before, which immediately alerted the Snake Peak's protective formation.

In an instant, smoke and miasma rose all around, and the entire Snake Peak seemed to come alive. A snake head hundreds of feet long formed on its summit, staring fiercely at Yu Que and his group, as if it were about to pounce at any moment.

At this moment, bursts of noise also emanated from within the snake-like peak:

"You audacious madman, how dare you fly over my Snake family's head!"

"You thief, quickly state your name."

As expected, the Snake Clan members were just as arrogant as the Assessment Peak members. Or rather, the Snake Clan members were even more arrogant, because while shouting, they had already unleashed several beams of spiritual light, aiming at Yu Que.

Before Yu Que could answer, they attacked first, and their methods were ruthless and showed no mercy. They were directly aiming to kill Yu Que and his men.

Yu Que snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and the White Ridge Sword in his hand flew out, knocking down all their attacks. In the process, he also directly captured all the magical artifacts that flew out from the Snake Family Mountain and brought them into the Hundred Mile Immortal Garden.

This immediately caused a series of angry and alarmed shouts to erupt from within Serpent Peak:

"You brat, how dare you accept my treasure!"

Several members of the Snake Clan flew out from Snake Peak, exuding a murderous aura, and glared angrily at Yu Que.

Yu Que looked at the group and found that only one of them had the cultivation level of Condensing Qi.

He chuckled and said directly, "Since you're all here, then you may also enter my treasures."

He pointed at the group of people.

With a clang, the White Ridge Sword flew out again, landing in front of the Snake Clan disciples and shattering their spiritual light. The evil aura on the Ning Sha Immortal was instantly crushed by Yu Que's Tai Bai True Evil Qi.

Several people lost consciousness on the spot, their five senses were shut down, and in the end they only felt dizzy and disoriented.

Yu Que hastily took the group into the Immortal Garden, and even more furious screams rang out from within Serpent Peak. However, this time, no one flew out of Serpent Peak.

Several old Taoist priests stood inside the Serpent Peak Formation, watching Yu Que with apprehension.

"Who goes there, daring to insult my Snake Clan's disciples!"

"Young fellow Daoist, judging from your behavior, you seem to be a member of my Huangshan Dao Palace as well. Why are you so arrogant? Aren't you afraid that my Snake Clan's Supreme Elder will come down from the mountain and cast you into the Netherworld?"

With a whoosh, one figure after another flew out from behind them, forming an array.

Yu Que waited patiently for the Snake Clan members to gather, while the Huangshan disciples behind him also stopped one by one on either side, revealing their figures.

Upon seeing so many Huangshan disciples arrive, including several familiar faces, the elders' expressions changed slightly. They immediately assumed that something had gone wrong within their own ranks, and their faces turned ashen and strange.

These people immediately communicated telepathically, saying to each other, "With so many people coming, has something important happened in the clan recently?"

"This shouldn't be the case. Even though some goods were smuggled and some people were trafficked, it doesn't warrant such a complete breakdown in relations."

"But a while ago, it was discovered that those two girls in the clan killed an inner disciple?"

"It shouldn't be that bad. Those two girls only killed peasants..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and some elders even secretly sent telepathic messages to Yu Que and the Huangshan disciples behind him, trying to find out what was going on: "Master, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Seeing their actions, Yu Que, though somewhat prepared, still stood in mid-air and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"When I came to visit, none of you recognized me."

It seems that I am indeed not well-known and little known in the Huangshan Taoist temple.

Just then, at the call of an elder, two graceful figures finally flew out of the Snake Clan's quiet room and landed gracefully in front of the formation, awaiting instructions.

These two beautiful figures were none other than the two beauties of the Snake Clan. Their brows were furrowed, and they muttered to each other, "It's just killing a peasant, why did the Dao Palace actually send people to arrest him?"

"These elders are all spineless cowards..."

As the two were whispering to each other, they suddenly noticed Yu Que standing in mid-air, and their expressions immediately turned to surprise and uncertainty.

They blurted out:

"It's you!"

"Yu Que!"

Seeing that someone finally recognized him, and could even be considered an acquaintance, Yu Que smiled and nodded to the two women.

Someone revealed Yu Que's identity, and the others finally realized what was going on.

Although they might not know what Yu Que looks like, they have all heard of his name.

An elder from the Snake Clan immediately chuckled and said, "So it's Yu Que, the true disciple of Yu, in person! We have failed to greet you properly!" "You all should quickly pay your respects to the true disciple."

The two women from the Snake family looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two were incredibly surprised, muttering to themselves, "How did this guy manage to come back alive from overseas?"

"Oh no, could it be that this kid found out about the matter we discussed with our cousin last time, about how our cousin coveted the Yu family's wealth in the city and tried to offend them?"

The two women secretly figured out the reason and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

However, after glancing at their family members on either side, their thoughts settled for the moment, though their eyes still flickered slightly.

The two sisters of the Snake Clan thought to themselves, "Anyway, it wasn't us who did it, but that stupid cousin. It has nothing to do with us."

At this moment, Yu Que carefully observed the actions of the Snake family members. From the changing expressions of the two Snake family women, he vaguely sensed something amiss.

He immediately realized that the events within his family were definitely related to these two women.

So he stopped being mysterious and drank directly:

"You snake people, taking advantage of my absence from the mountains for training, have bullied my people. What are your true intentions? Have you already sided with the traitors outside the palace?!"

Such a huge accusation caused the elders of the Snake Clan present to change color.

They finally realized why Yu Que had come so aggressively; it turned out that their Snake Clan had offended Yu Que and had even implicated his clansmen.

Although they understood the reason for the situation, these people were not more nervous; instead, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, it's just a small matter."

"So what if his clansmen were bullied? Our Snake Clan is a large and powerful family. Since he has returned alive, let's just give him back what he owed us and treat him to a sweet treat."

Why be in such a hurry!

Several elders commented on Yu Que: "He is indeed a young man, full of youthful vigor."

The reaction of the snake family elders brought joy to the two snake sisters.

Faced with this situation, they indeed showed no intention of reflecting on their own disciples, but instead immediately defended them and reprimanded Yu Que:

Whether or not it's bullying isn't up to you to decide!

“Hey, even if you are a true disciple, Huangshan Taoist Palace is not yours to own.”

Such matters must be reported to Lotus Peak or the Assessment Peak, and only after evaluation can a determination be made.

They had initially assumed that Yu Que had come on the orders of the Dao Palace, but now that they realized he had come on his own with a group of people for personal reasons, they were no longer worried.

Seeing the Snake Clan's appearance, Yu Que's smile widened even further.

He turned and looked at Gong Dongxue and the others, saying:
"Look, this is the arrogance of a powerful family."

The Huangshan disciples on either side nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

The reason why these people were able to stay overseas for many years without returning, and remained loyal to Yu Que, was because of this.

One major reason is that they all came from humble backgrounds and held neither high nor low positions in the palace. They were neither direct descendants of various Daoist temples nor members of these prominent families or favored members.

Immediately, Yu Que's chuckled remark lightly landed on the Snake Clan members:

"Evaluation Peak?"
"Since that's the case, then let your snake family, like the Assessment Peak, be ruined and destroyed."

A surge of spiritual light erupted from him.

Upon hearing this, the members of the snake family, regardless of age, all showed expressions of shock and immediately wanted to reprimand Yu Que.

But before their shouts could be heard, the purple spiritual light emanating from the Yuan Shen Dao Bing's body seeped out from Yu Que's body and appeared in mid-air.

"Purple, a fourth-grade purple spiritual light!"

"Could this child have obtained a celestial artifact while at the Nine Dragon Waterfall?!"

A sense of surprise and doubt quickly arose in the minds of the snake family members.

However, they didn't have much time to think before a loud rumble suddenly rang out.

The massive Serpent Clan's protective mountain formation, which had transformed into a smoky serpent head, was grabbed by Yu Que's hundred-foot-tall Nascent Soul Dao Soldier and forcefully pulled away from the mountaintop.

Dao Bing's other two hands continued to hammer forcefully on the Serpent Peak Formation!

In an instant, the ground of Snake Peak shook violently, and more members and elders of the Snake Clan were awakened.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Seeing that Yu Que had a fiery temper and had actually displayed the skills of a fourth-grade immortal, the group of people finally calmed down and were able to talk properly.

And some of them quickly questioned those around them, demanding to know who had attracted such a scourge.

The two beauties from the Snake Family stared blankly at Yu Que outside the formation, feeling that Yu Que at this moment was like a celestial official or a demon, extremely majestic and awe-inspiring.

Just as Yu Que tore through the Serpent Peak Formation, the two beautiful women of the Serpent Clan and a young disciple were gathered together by the Serpent Clan elders and pushed towards Yu Que.

"Fellow Taoist, wait!"

"These three are from my clan and are implicated in this matter. This is because my Snake Clan has failed in disciplining its children. Fellow Daoist, please take them as you see fit, but please do not damage my Snake Peak's great formation."

The elders were all extremely anxious.

Aside from offering up the pale-faced Snake Clan's two daughters and others, they did take other actions.

Some tried to stop the chariot with their bare hands, wielding magic and artifacts in an attempt to resist the remaining Yuan Shen Dao soldiers, while others sent out their divine senses to summon the spiritual veins in the mountains, attempting to maintain the great formation.

Some people immediately turned and left, rushing off to find the Supreme Elder of the Snake Family.

However, under the pressure of the Yuan Shen Dao Bing, all their methods seemed powerless and laughable.

Yu Que stood calmly with his hands in his sleeves and said:

"Failed to raise children properly? In my opinion, your snake family has failed in establishing a proper family!"

Boom! He wielded his primordial spirit weapon, and with a casual palm strike, he knocked the Snake Clan's twin beauties unconscious and severely injured them, before continuing his sweeping attack, crushing towards the top of Snake Peak.

At this moment, a voice filled with shock and anger finally rang out from inside Serpent Peak:

"Young friend, the culprit has already been given to you. Why do you still want to ruin my ancestral land!"

Upon hearing the shout, Yu Que realized that the other party must be the Refining Qi Master of the Snake Clan.

A smile appeared on his face. In a flash, he appeared in the middle of Serpent Peak and cleaved the mountain in two, heading straight to capture the Serpent Clan Elder who had spoken.
“If the younger generation commits a crime, how can you, the elders, be innocent?”

And put them all in my cage!
