The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1777

As the roar continued, it rumbled the earth, and eventually the heavens. The ground around them started quaking as if the roar had awakened a primal fear within it.

The roar seemed to come from the depths of the earth, and a moment later, an intense heat storm swept across the surface world.

When Tang Yun and Ye Fan turned around, what greeted them was a horrifying scene. The top of Mount Chumen looked like it was on fire, its land as red as the crimson sun. The mountain looked like it was being burned by a little sun.

“That... That can't be...” Tang Yun's face became as white as a ghost when she saw what was happening.

“What's wrong, Yun?” Ye Fan was worried. He seldom saw Tang Yun looking so worried before.

Tang Yun had a grim look on her face. “Ye Fan, I suspect that the monster that has been slumbering under the mountain is starting to wake up.”

“Wait. A monster? There's a monster under the mountain?” Ye Fan was shocked.

“You didn't know about it? Your family's ancestor— Chu Yunyang—was one of the, if not the most powerful and most talented fighters of his generation and generations to come. Even the smallest part of his power is enough to keep your family safe for millennia.

“Invoke the Celestial Cloud, Iron Man, Sword of Yunyang, and even the Tang family's Cloud and Mist Sword Technique are the gifts he left for his descendants.” Tang Yun spoke briefly of Ye Fan's family history, but she didn't look happy. The situation was a grim one.

“What? Even the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique? No wonder I thought it's similarto Invoke the Celestial Cloud.” Ye Fan finally realized the answer to the question that had been bugging him for a long time.

However, that only made him more curious about the relationship between the Chu family and the Tang family. I wonder what does their most guarded technique have anything to do with my ancestor?But now's not the time to ask that question, though. Ye Fan said, “You're trying to say that this monster also has something to do with my ancestor, aren't you?”

Tang Yun nodded. “When I was little, I knew that a monster slumbers underneath Mount Chumen. The Jones family's ancestor was the monster's gatekeeper. He was also one of your ancestor's subordinates as well. After so many years, the Jones family became one of the Three Families of the Chu Sect, and they enjoy the same status as the Chu fa m i ly.

“Since then, all they care about is power. They probably forgot about their ancestor's duty. They might have even forgotten about this monster as well.” Tang Yun shook her head melancholically.

As the head of the Chu Sect, she knew a lot more than Ye Fan about the secrets of the Three Families of the Chu Sect.

When she first heard about the monster under the mountain, Tang Yun only brushed it off as a legend, but when she heard the ancient roar and saw the fire that was destroying the mountain, she realized that the monster was no mere myth; it existed in real life.

“If the monster were to reappear, Eigetsu and everyone else will be in danger!”

Ye Fan had realized the gravity of the situation as well. If something were to happen to Mount Chumen, it would add more to Ye Fan's already bursting plate.

Tang Yun shook her head. “Not necessarily. The monster's reawakening isn't necessarily bad news for Eigetsu and the others. The Jones family's ancestors could control the monster, but his descendants have lost the skill to control beasts long ago. And without anyone controlling it, chaos will follow when the monster returns. Your men can escape when that happens,” Tang Yun concluded.

Ye Fan felt more at ease after that.

Tang Yun then said, “But this is not the time to talk about that. You're badly hurt. We must leave now. You can't do anything to help them with that kind of injury anyway.” She took Ye Fan and fled the mountain.
