"Someone is slaughtering ordinary people to gather resentment, intending to summon a great being who has already died," the man said honestly.
He added, "That person is currently on Nether Mountain, over a hundred li from here. You must stop him!"
"Alright, I understand." Dao Lord Taichu nodded.
He rescued the man, then headed straight for Nether Mountain.
Before long, he arrived at the foot of Nether Mountain. Looking at the towering peak that pierced the clouds, Dao Lord Taichu frowned.
The enormous peak was five or six thousand zhang tall, even larger than the mountains of the Extreme Realm. The foot of the mountain was surrounded by sheer cliffs, while its summit hung suspended in the air, connected only by a narrow crack in the rock.
Dense black mist coiled around the mountain.
Dao Lord Taichu flew before the massive peak. Looking at the black mist above it, he understood that it was likely the resentment gathered by whoever lurked in the shadows.
After considering it for a moment, Dao Lord Taichu flew into the mountain.
The dense black mist on the mountain made Dao Lord Taichu uncomfortable. He circulated his spiritual power around himself, and as he drew closer to the peak, the black mist grew thicker, making him feel increasingly ill at ease.
Whoosh!
Black smoke surged from within the mountain, condensing into a man in black who pounced at Dao Lord Taichu.
The man in black shouted coldly, "Idle people, halt! Otherwise, do not blame Black Luo Protector for showing no mercy!"
Dao Lord Taichu snorted. Golden scale armor appeared on his right arm as he threw a punch at Black Luo Protector.
Seeing that Dao Lord Taichu actually dared to attack him, the man in black flew into a rage and thrust both palms forward.
