As you climb to the mountaintop, the wind caresses your face, and the majestic scenery unfolds before you. Once covered in snow, it is now a barren expanse of black earth.

Gu Liyan stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the opposite mountain peak with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes…

"What is he looking at?" Gu Ling Shuang asked Gao Lang, noticing Gu Li Yan staring intently into the distance. Gao Lang shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

Seeing Gu Liyan standing there in a daze for a long time without making any move, Lang Jin finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey kid, what did you bring us here for?"

Gu Liyan turned to the demons and smiled, "Although I said I would challenge your entire clan on my own, I am not an arrogant person. Is it alright for me to follow the rules of this challenge?"

Lang Jin didn't try to take advantage of Gu Liyan any further and simply nodded in agreement, "You give us the challenge, and our wolf clan will take it!"

Gu Liyan smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the mountain peak opposite the cliff in front of him, and said, "If more than two of you can reach the other side of the mountain, I will concede defeat and let you do whatever you want with me!"

Lang Jin glanced at the cliff on the opposite bank, which was only a hundred feet away, and said with a grin, "Boy, don't be arrogant. Even if my wolf clan is not strong enough, this mere cliff less than a hundred feet away can hardly stop us!"

Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "Is that so? Then please ask the Wolf Clan Chief to send someone to cross the cliff!"

Lang Jin frowned and said to a strong wolf warrior behind him, "Lang Xiao, you come here!"

"Yes!" Lang Xiao took a step forward, shaking the mountainside, and arrived in front of Gu Liyan with a fierce aura. "Hmph, kid, you're just waiting to lose!"

Gu Liyan was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "For safety reasons, I suggest that all participants should be tied with ropes."

"Someone, fasten the safety harness to this wolf warrior." Before Lang Xiao could refuse, Huo Ling spoke up. Although bumps and scrapes were inevitable in the competition, Huo Ling could tell that Gu Liyan did not want any injuries or fatalities.

The safety lock was already fastened, but Lang Xiao looked on with disdain. In his opinion, only cowards would bind themselves with chains!

Therefore, he thought that Gu Liyan was a cowardly and timid person, and his gaze towards Gu Liyan was filled with disdain.

Noticing Lang Xiao's gaze, Gu Liyan smiled slightly but said nothing. His silence only convinced Lang Xiao that Gu Liyan was a hypocritical, cowardly, and timid fellow.

Wolf Xiao stretched his legs and turned to Wolf Jin, saying, "Chief, I'm ready!"

Lang Jin nodded without saying anything more.

Wolf Xiao let out a soft roar to bolster his courage, then stood at the edge of the cliff, bent slightly, and leaped towards the other side, his entire body launching out like a cannonball.

Looking at his jump trajectory, Lang Jin smiled smugly. As expected, Lang Xiao would definitely jump over the cliff by one meter and land safely.

Turning to Gu Liyan, he sneered, "Young Master Mo, you seem to have miscalculated. Our wolf clan easily secured the first place!"

Gu Liyan smiled faintly, "Easy? Not necessarily!"

"What?" Lang Jin looked at Gu Liyan with a puzzled expression. Before he could ask any further questions, the demons behind him suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah! Watch out!"

Lang Jin looked in Lang Xiao's direction and saw that Lang Xiao's body was halfway down when he was falling straight into the abyss below. Lang Jin's expression changed immediately and he hurriedly shouted, "Quickly grab the safety lock!"

Everyone then realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to pull the safety lock, but it was too late; Lang Xiao's body had already fallen into the abyss.

"Hurry!" Lang Jin paced anxiously. If his general were to die because of this, it would definitely affect the morale of his wolf clan. If morale collapsed, the reputation of their wolf clan would likely also be affected.

Lang Jin watched as the safety lock continued to move towards the cliff, and he was helpless. He thought to himself, "This is bad!"

In the blink of an eye, Gu Liyan transformed into a blur and grabbed the safety lock that was about to fall to the bottom of the cliff. Seeing this, the wolf clan members behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help pull Lang Xiao up.

After Lang Xiao was pulled up, his body was covered in cuts from the wind blades, and he was covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight. He was also in a daze.

Gu Liyan did not step forward, but instead retreated to a secluded spot.

Lang Jin strode forward, his face full of concern, and asked, "Lang Xiao! Are you alright?"

Wolf Xiao shook his head weakly. "I'm sorry, Chieftain, I... I failed..."

"This isn't your fault. I didn't think things through and rashly sent you into battle. You should rest and recover. Leave the rest to us!" Lang Jin said sternly. Lang Xiao nodded in relief, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lang Jin raised his head and walked towards Gu Liyan, drawing everyone's attention to the two of them.

"I finally understand how dangerous your challenge is. Although you just saved Lang Xiao, this is still a competition, and we are still enemies!" Lang Jin said with a frown. "If I win, I will definitely banish you from Thousand Absolute Mountain!"

Gu Liyan smiled wryly, pointed to the cliff, and said, "Well then, we'll see!"

Lang Jin snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the wolf clan members, and asked, "Is there any other clansman willing to come out and give it a try?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a young man stepped forward from the crowd. "Father, let me do it!"

"It's Young Master Langyuan! He's the strongest among the younger generation of the Wolf Clan, he can definitely handle it!"

"Go, Young Master Wolf Abyss!"

Hearing the praise from everyone, Lang Yuan proudly raised his chin.

Lang Jin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Okay, go ahead, but be careful and make sure the safety lock is fastened."

"Don't worry, Father!" Lang Yuan said confidently, glaring at Gu Liyan. "This guy will definitely give up a spot from me!"
