Chapter 461 Chen Tang Pass

Mythical multiverse, a world located near the core.

"Rumble--"

The surging waves, laden with white foam, crashed against the dark, smooth rocks on the shore time and time again, producing thunderous roars.

The shattered waves soared into the air, attempting to climb the solid rock wall, but when they were exhausted, they were captured by gravity and helplessly fell back into the vast sea.

Looking upwards along the cascading waves, a majestic cliff rises abruptly from the ground, like a natural barrier, guarding this turbulent coastline.

On the cliff, there stands a majestic and imposing pass.

Built against the mountain, backed by a cliff and facing the East China Sea, it is constructed entirely of thick, hard boulders, which have been smoothed and polished by the sea wind over the years, exuding a cold and austere atmosphere.

Judging from the appearance of this pass alone, there is no doubt that it has been shrouded in war for many years.

But if you turn your gaze to the pass itself, you'll see a completely different scene—

The eaves of the houses stretch out in a continuous line, rising and falling along the mountainside.

The streets and alleys were bustling with people and filled with noise.

The shouts of vendors, the laughter of children, and the greetings between neighbors—all sorts of sounds full of everyday life intertwined in the air above the street, exuding an incredibly vibrant and lively energy.

This situation stands in stark contrast to the grim and imposing appearance of the pass.

Such a stark contrast must have a reason. The reason why the people of this pass can live such a peaceful life is naturally because there are people secretly bearing the burden for them!

At the highest and most dangerous point of the pass, a magnificent mansion stands tall.

It faces east and overlooks the sea. The mansion is surrounded by a tall and thick stone wall, which is solid and has sharp edges, exuding an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.

Passing through the thick stone walls and looking into the interior of the mansion, one can see towering gate towers and guards patrolling.

Various military facilities, such as drill grounds, training grounds, and weapon racks, are set up throughout the complex. Compared to the luxurious mansions of ordinary officials who pursued the elegance of gardens, it is more like a heavily fortified military fortress.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

As a human settlement near the East China Sea, Chentang Pass was often attacked by sea monsters and sea beasts.

Under such circumstances, the general stationed at this pass must be constantly vigilant; if he is corrupt and fond of luxury, he will certainly not live past the third episode.

For this reason, the generals of Chentang Pass throughout the ages have all been outstanding figures in the region.

The Li Jing couple, who now guard this strategic pass, are among the best generals in history, having protected the people of Chentang Pass for many years with the strength of the pass alone.

Today, monsters have appeared again along the coast of the East China Sea, attacking villagers.

Upon receiving the news, the General's Mansion immediately mobilized its troops, led by Lady Yin, who was currently staying at the mansion, to go to the villages along the coast outside the pass to kill the human monsters.

When the lady went to war to slay demons and monsters, the people of Chentang Pass were naturally delighted and sent her off.

Even the waiter serving dishes in the restaurant couldn't help but lean over the window, his face flushed, and shout some powerful words.

Looking down at the neatly arranged military ranks and the female warrior in armor galloping at the front, the handsome young man in white in the private room raised an eyebrow, revealing an expression of great interest.

"Little Second!"

"Eh!"

The waiter quickly snapped out of his daze, carried the dishes into the private room, and said with a smile, "Sir, your beef is here!"

The young man in white smiled and waved, signaling the waiter to put down the plate of beef. Then he turned to the guards rushing towards the city gate and asked, feigning ignorance:

"The streets are so lively, could something have happened?"

"Rest assured, sir!"

The waiter smiled confidently and said, "They're just a few ignorant monsters. With my wife, the general's wife, on the job, they'll be easy prey!"

"Oh?"

The young man in white raised an eyebrow, and Rao Ping asked with interest, "Was that imposing female general just now the rumored wife of General Li of Chentang Pass?"

"Exactly!"

The waiter initially responded with an air of arrogance, but then, realizing what he had done, he quickly bent down and said with a beaming smile, "Sir, are you from out of town?"

"..."

The young man in white glanced at him, a half-smile on his face, and said, "What are you saying? Do you think the locals wouldn't recognize the General's wife?"

"Ugh, look at my brain!"

The waiter looked suddenly enlightened and quickly slapped his head.

The young man in white chuckled, then asked curiously, "I've heard that Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, is a hero. Why is it that when monsters appeared outside the pass, it was his wife who went out to slay them?"

The waiter was taken aback, then his face darkened with anger, and he said indignantly, "Isn't it all because of that demon—"

The white-robed youth's expression shifted slightly: "A demon?"

The waiter realized what was happening and quickly changed the subject, awkwardly saying, "It was a strange order that forced my general to go to the king to report on his duties, which is why he hasn't been able to return to the pass for so long."

"However, sir, you need not worry. My wife, the General's wife, is no less capable than any man!"

At this point, the waiter's expression became noticeably excited, and he rambled on, "You may not know this, but long before she got married, Madam Yin was a famous swordswoman in the martial arts world. Her swordsmanship was superb, and even compared to the General, she was only slightly inferior..."

Looking at the waiter who was still praising his wife's martial arts skills, the white-robed youth, or rather Lin Yu's Xuanyuan Sword clone, seemed to be deep in thought, already having some guesses about his identity in this world.

Of course, with the keywords Chen Tang Pass and Li Jing, anyone can guess that this world must be related to Nezha, the number one traitor in the Three Realms!
However, there are simply too many film and television works related to Nezha. Without more specific information, it's indeed difficult to guess which world this is.

"The lady with exceptional martial prowess, the vanished general, Nezha whom no one in Chentang Pass wants to mention, and the 'demon' character that was swallowed back..."

Lin Yu wondered to himself, "Could this be that world?"

Thinking of this, he shook his head: "Forget it, seeing is believing. Instead of guessing here, I'd better go and see Nezha of this world for myself!"

Just do it!

Lin Yu glanced at the still chattering waiter, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The next second, his figure vanished without a trace, like a thin mist blown away by the wind.

The waiter, who was still rambling on, suddenly felt that there was nothing in front of him, and his words came to an abrupt halt.

He stood there, stunned, blinking blankly. He realized that the elegant young man in white had vanished without a trace. Only the gentle breeze from the window carried the fragrance of wine.

"……Eh?"

"Where...where is everyone?!"

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked out the window, but he couldn't see anyone.

Looking down again, he saw that a few pieces of silver had appeared on the table at some unknown time, lying there quietly, shining brightly like a mirror reflecting sunlight.

goo-dong-

Xiao Er's Adam's apple bobbed, and he shakily reached out his hand. Only when his fingertips touched the cold silver horn did he dare to be sure that he wasn't seeing things.

"It's actually true!"

"Could it be... that I've met a deity?"

……

……

On the other side, the General's Mansion is perched on the cliff.

A small figure lay on its side atop the courtyard wall, one hand supporting its cheek, the other scratching its bottom, gazing listlessly at the bustling Chen Tang Pass below, and murmured:

"With nothing to do while locked up in the mansion, they climb over walls, smash tiles, and break bottles and jars."

"After going back and forth a thousand times, even I'm getting tired..."

Before he could finish reciting a limerick, the little guy on the courtyard wall saw the long, dusty dragon beyond the Great Wall.

The distance spanning Chentang Pass could not hinder his innate, extraordinary vision; the thick, long dragon of smoke and dust was nothing more than a thin mist in his eyes.

He didn't even need to concentrate; with just a fleeting glance, he easily spotted the familiar figure at the very front.

"We have to go slay demons and monsters again..."

The little guy pouted, looking somewhat disappointed.

But soon, he raised his eyebrows, snorted, and said, "Go ahead, I'm happy on my own, I don't need you guys to play with me!"

Even so, the little guy was clearly quite disappointed about Madam Yin's departure from the mansion.

In a low mood, he even lost interest in spying on the lives of the people in Chentang Pass. Instead, he turned around, jumped off the courtyard wall, and walked into the mansion with a sullen face.

Just then, a slightly amused voice suddenly rang out.

"Little guy, you look really bored!"

"……nonsense!"

The little girl with two topknots rolled her eyes and subconsciously complained, "Being locked up in this mansion all day, wouldn't you be bored?!"

The person who asked the question thought for a moment, then wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "That's true..."

After all, when he was trapped in the endless void, he was so bored that he almost went crazy. If he hadn't been able to study his own power as a form of entertainment, it's hard to say whether he could have persevered.

At the same time, Nezha on the opposite side suddenly woke up, immediately leaped backward, shattered the stone bricks, assumed a fighting stance, and looked at the white-clad youth who had suddenly appeared with a wary expression.

"and many more!"

"Who are you?!"

The young man in white pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "That depends on your attitude!"

Nezha was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

The young man in white laughed and said, "So, if you intend to capture me, then I'll be an uninvited guest of the General's Mansion. But if you're willing to keep it a secret for me, I can become your friend!"

"……friend?"

Nezha's eyes lit up.

But then his eyes dimmed again, and he curled his lip, feigning disdain, and said:
"Don't give me that. I've seen plenty of people like you. They all say they want to play with me at first, but in the end they're all afraid of me. Hmph, you think you can fool me? No way!"

"I don't need friends!"

At this point, Nezha paused, as if suddenly remembering something. He narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his small, fair hands into fists, and looked at the white-robed youth with a chilling tone, saying:
"Furthermore, I'm very curious. My house is protected by a barrier; even I can't get out without using some tricks—so how did you get in?!"
