Chapter 711 - Cold Star City
The morning of the second day, Li Mu, Eastern Sage and the other three led a flying spirit treasure White Jade Flying Boat from the Gold Jade Sect and left the Gold Jade Sect. Li Mu had a total of thirteen people, so their destination was naturally the Xueling Sect.Standing at the very front of the White Jade Flying Boat, Li Mu and Chi Yun looked into the distance, while Eastern Sage and the others stayed at the cabin of the White Jade Flying Boat.
"Mu Er, you and that Leng Qingcheng met each other when we first met, right? Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"
Before this trip, Chi Yun had specifically changed into a set of clothes. He normally dressed in rough attire, but this time, he surprisingly wore a beautiful earthen yellow robe. Even though he was already middle-aged, he still looked a little heroic.
"Hehe, speaking of this matter, it was actually because of Qingcheng. Back then, I was still in Chu, and at that time, I was only at the Houtian realm, but Qingcheng was ambushed by the Dahua Sect, and that Yuan Feng from Dahua Sect attempted to capture Qingcheng and then absorb her Xiantian Yin energy to strengthen his innate fire elemental body."
They tried to kill me, but I relied on my own abilities and killed a few of the disciples of the Dahua Sect. As a result, I received heavy injuries, and was chased by the remaining disciples of the Dahua Sect, accidentally meeting Qingcheng who was already severely injured.As Li Mu spoke, his eyes revealed a few traces of reminiscence. He still vaguely remembered the scene of when he saw Leng Qingcheng naked inside the Sunset Valley that year.
"You brat, looking at your silly smile, you know that quite a few things must have happened at that time, right?"
Chi Yun was an experienced person, the moment he saw the smile on Li Mu"s face, he could already guess that there was something more going on."Master, you"re really smart, I didn"t expect to be able to guess it as well. That"s right, at that time she and I worked together to fight against the Dahua Sect disciples led by Yuan Feng, it was almost a narrow escape from death, if not for Senior Yao Shanshan arriving in the end, we would have died a long time ago!"
"Speaking of Senior Yao Shanshan, there seems to be quite a few stories between you and her, Master. Hehe, since there"s nothing better to do, why don"t you tell this disciple of yours?"Li Mu"s curiosity was piqued, and he smiled evilly as he said to Chi Yun.
It"s fine, you and I will have a match as master and disciple, there"s nothing much to talk about. Before Yao Shanshan stepped into the cultivation world, she had an engagement with me, and we both came from a rather remote mortal town in the northwest of Qin Nation, the Violet Cloud Town.
"Sigh, at that time, we grew up together and could be said to be childhood friends. My Chi family and her demon family are two of the biggest families in the area, so I thought that we would be able to get married once we reached the right age, but who would have thought that I would accidentally meet my master, who was also the previous sect master of my Gold Jade Sect, Sang Kunlun.""Master said that my talent is not bad, if I start cultivating on the road, I will definitely do a lot of good things, and even pa.s.sed down a top rank Earth Realm cultivation technique on the spot, the Di Kui Attraction Art. After Master gave me the technique, she said that when my cultivation has reached the Divine Abilities realm, I can go to Gold Jade Sect to find him, and then she will leave."
"At that time, because I didn"t have much experience in the world, and didn"t know much about the path of cultivation, I didn"t sleep for three days and three nights in excitement after receiving Di Kui"s skill. Master was right, my talent in cultivation was indeed very good, in less than three years, I had already reached the peak of the Postnatal realm. In order to break through, I decided to go out and travel, but met with opposition from my parents and Brilliant.""At that time, my heart was like iron, even if my family and Wintry were against me, it did not change my determination to become a powerful warrior. I wrote a letter on the spot to end the marriage between Wintry, and then, ignoring the objections of my family, I left Violet Cloud Town by myself."
I went to many places and came across many anecdotes of the cultivation world. I also learned about the power of the Gold Jade Sect and my understanding of the path of cultivation became deeper as well. Not long after, I broke through to the Innate Realm and crawled around outside for five years.
"After I reached the peak of the Congenital Realm, I returned to Violet Cloud Town …"
Chi Yun"s eyes were full of memories, speaking till here seemed to be touching his sore spot, but he actually did not speak further, and his eyes also started to turn red for no reason.
"Master, are you alright? If you don"t want to say it, then forget it, look at your sad appearance, I can guess if it is because Senior Yao Shanshan married someone else later on, that caused you to be so sad."Seeing the sorrowful look on Chi Yun"s face, Li Mu laughed and teased, but Li Mu"s teasing did not have any effect on him at all, Chi Yun shook his head, then continued to speak, "You guessed wrong, when I returned to the Zi Yun Town, that place was already in ruins!"
"What!?" They were reduced to ruins? What happened? Where is Senior Yao Shanshan? "
The result that Chi Yun said was completely out of Li Mu"s expectations, and the moment he thought of Yao Shanshan, Li Mu became even more suspicious.
"At that time, my reaction was exactly the same as yours. I first went back to my own home, but what I saw was a patch of ruins, and then I went to Gleaming"s house, which was also exactly the same as mine. I guessed that something big must have happened, and only after some inquiry did I find out that a group of bandits had attacked the Violet Cloud Town when I was less than a month away."
"Because my family is the wealthiest family in the area, my family was especially taken care of by those bandits. They pitied my family of more than thirty people, and none of them escaped being killed by the bandits. I also heard that because of their beauty, we were kidnapped and taken back to the village by those bandits."
"I am angry and resentful at the same time. I am angry because I only know how to cultivate, but I can"t even protect my own family. I hate those bandits for killing my entire family!"
Remembering the unbearable memory, Chi Yun closed his eyes. Both of his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly that crackling sounds could be heard.
"Master, the dead are gone and the past is like the wind. Don"t worry about these things. I"m guessing you must have found those bandits and killed them all, right?"
Li Mu consoled Chi Yun and guessed.
"Brat, you really have my temper. That"s right, I went to ask about the origin and whereabouts of those bandits, but when I went there, I found that all the bandits had already been killed. I didn"t even have the chance to get revenge."
"After this incident, I regretted it for a long time in my heart, but in the end, I still unwaveringly walked down the path of martial arts. I spent more than ten years to cultivate to the Divine Arts realm, then found the Gold Jade Sect and became its core disciple.
"A hundred years ago, I once went to the Xueling Sect on behalf of the Gold Jade Sect and saw Gleaming in the Xueling Sect. It turned out that he also had quite a good opportunity in the past, and those bandits coveted her beauty and brought her back to the mountain stronghold, but they never thought that they would be saved by a pa.s.sing elder of the Xueling Sect. Those bandits were all killed by the elders of the Xueling Sect, and Gleaming"s family all died, so she had no choice but to follow the elders of the Xueling Sect back to the Xueling Sect.
"After she saw me, she hated me to the core. She said that if I didn"t go out to travel, with my cultivation, dealing with some mortal bandits wouldn"t be a problem at all. If that"s the case, then my family and her family wouldn"t all be killed. Forget it, let"s not talk about it anymore. If I let this brat know too much, it will not be a good thing for me! "
Chi Yun laughed bitterly at Li Mu, and then did not bring up the matter between him and Yao Shanshan anymore, upon seeing this, Li Mu did not plan to ask anymore, he already knew the story between Chi Yun and Yao Shanshan, but he did not expect that the two famous figures in the northern part of Yuheng Continent would actually have such an unbearable experience, it was simply a matter of luck.
"I wonder if this path of martial arts is the right one or not. Can you really become an immortal after reaching the end of your cultivation?" "How many people lost their lives in order to walk this path of no return if they didn"t even see the Immortal? Also, like my Master, I"m afraid that many people would even abandon their homes to cultivate. Sigh!"Standing at the bow of the White Jade Flying Boat, although Li Mu"s eyes were faraway, he couldn"t help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
Not only that, its reputation was not smaller than the Qin Nation"s either. In the world of cultivation, its fame did not depend on its size, but that was also the case for the Cold Star Kingdom. The reason its fame was so great, was because the Cold Star Kingdom possessed one of the top ten strongest sects in the north of the Yuheng Continent, the Xueling Sect.
On this day, the biggest Cultivation City in the Cold Star Kingdom had a sudden burst of spiritual light, accompanied by a strong spatial ripple, Li Mu and the rest of the thirteen people went through the teleportation circle, and arrived at Cold Star City.
From the moment Li Mu and the others left the Gold Jade Sect, they had first flown through the White Jade Flying Boat s to the Heaven Spirit City, and then teleported from the Heaven Spirit City to the Jingguo, and then from the Jingguo to the Cold Star City through the teleportation circle. From beginning to end, Li Mu and the others had only spent about half a month"s time on their journey, and currently, it had only been thirteen days since the day of Xueling Sect"s battle.Once he entered the Cold Star City, Li Mu saw a scene of prosperity. He did not know if it was because it was near the time for Xueling Sect"s Groom Search Compet.i.tion, but there were so many people in the Cold Star City, to the point that Li Mu could see many Disciple of the Snow Spirit Sect dressed in Disciple of the Snow Spirit Sect"s robes walking on the streets.
"Elder Chi, how far is this Cold Star City from the location of the Xueling Sect Mountain? Are we going to go directly to the Xueling Sect or should we stay here in the Cold Star City first?"
After leaving the teleportation plaza and walking on the crowded streets of Cold Star City, Wu w.a.n.g asked Chi Yun with a smile on his face. This time, although there were still two people in the group led by, Ruan Qinghong and Wan Tianming were only in the middle stage of the Nascent Profound Realm. Only Chi Yun had the later stage of Tongxuan, so everyone knew that Chi Yun was the one with the most authority in his speech."There are still thirteen days before the day of Xueling Sect"s Groom Search Compet.i.tion, so we should stay in this Cold Star City first. There"s no point in going to the Xueling Sect too early. We should be able to reach the Xueling Peak Sect in one day with our speed."
Chi Yun seemed to have already made a plan and explained his arrangements. When Li Mu heard that he was going to stay in the Cold Star City, the first thing he thought of was going to be the Snow Sky Inn he had promised Xu Ruqing.
"Master, let"s just go to the Snow Sky Inn. I made an appointment with a disciple of the Xueling Sect, and she told me to wait for her there. With her position there, he can bring us quite a bit of news, which is much more reliable than going to the Xueling Sect without any inside information."
When Li Mu thought of Xu Ruqing, he suggested to him, and when he thought of Xu Ruqing, who he had not seen for nearly a year, Li Mu really missed him a lot in her heart …
