Chapter 154 - One Sword ChopWith the crowd of people leaving the city and leaving through the north gate, Xiang Yun was like a dragon entering the sea, able to roam about as he pleased.
Xiang Yun was carrying a measuring tool for measuring wind and water, as well as a Wandering Dragon Sword on his back. He was riding his warhorse as he galloped madly in the direction of the Silvermoon Mountain Range!
Although he was alone, Xiang Yun was very happy in his heart. At this moment, he felt like a self-made entrepreneur from his previous life. From the very beginning, he had to do everything by himself in order to lay the foundation for his future glory.
After going through the hunting compet.i.tion, Xiang Yun was already very familiar with the route to the Silvermoon Mountain Range. As he traversed through the dense forest where he had originally hunted, he could still see traces of the Black Fire Python"s ravaging forest along the way.
Even though his strength had greatly improved, he still had no chance of winning if he faced off against the Double Headed Black Fire Python at this moment.
In the face of absolute suppression, all fancy tricks were useless.Looking at the fresh blood that still remained on the ground, Xiang Yun reminded himself that he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible and control his own fate. Otherwise, there would come a day when he would follow in the footsteps of these people.
Along the way, Xiang Yun followed the directions given to him by the map. He rode his horse straight towards the mountain, not stopping at all.
At the same time as Xiang Yun was heading for the Green h.e.l.lish Mountain, he was ten thousand kilometers away, in the southeast of Storm Nation. He was still a hundred li away from that majestic Dragon City, atop a towering mountain.
An old man in hemp clothes was holding a brown wine gourd. His face was red and slightly tipsy. He was lying on top of a big tree with his eyes closed and was humming a song. His posture was comfortable and his expression satisfied.
The tree branch under the old man"s feet was clearly only as thick as a pinky finger, its roots were delicate, but the latter"s body was leaning on it, steady as Mt. Tai. The tree branch only swayed gently in the wind, as though it was carrying a feather.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a sonic boom could be heard from the foot of the mountain!
The old man"s narrowed eyes suddenly opened. His gaze instantly locked onto the southern part of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain.To the south of the mountain, a silhouette was seen walking towards the foot of the mountain. The figure raised his head and stared at the mountain, as though he was confirming something.
Then, he nodded and took a step forward. He leaped into the air in an instant, like a golden eagle soaring through the sky. The next moment, he landed silently in the forest!After several jumps, on the peak of the several thousand meter tall mountain, on the Hundred Year Old Pine, there was originally only the old man. At this moment, there was an extra person standing on a branch under the old man.
The old man lowered his head and sized up the newcomer. The latter was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a white beard. He was wearing a black robe and had a thin and handsome face.
Especially his pair of bright eyes, which were like two bright stars, which were shining as he looked at the old man above him.
"You finally came, causing me to wait for more than half a day. You said that since you received the message, you can"t run faster?" The old man glanced at the middle-aged man and grumbled in dissatisfaction.When the middle-aged man heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. In the entire Wind Cloud Country, there were no more than five people who would dare say that their speed was slow, and this old man was one of them.
"Senior Liang, long time no see, how are you?" The middle-aged man"s voice was calm and deep, and it gave off the feeling that he had been in a high position for a long time, and had been giving orders all year round.
"Haha, this old man can eat, drink, and even kill. Very good!"
"I heard that you destroyed a branch of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins at the northwest border a few days ago."
The elder tore open the gourd stopper, took a sip of wine and said calmly, "You even dare to accept a mission like a.s.sa.s.sinating His Highness the crown prince. The Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins is looking down on us, looking down on the prince."
"Then did you leave anyone alive to track down who was the one who sent the mission?"
"I wasn"t careful and failed to stop them. They were all killed." The old man shook his head helplessly.
"Uh …" The middle-aged man bitterly smiled again, feeling extremely helpless.
"Senior Liang, the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins is not someone to be trifled with. If you were to directly eliminate one of their divisions and let them track you down, they would likely not let you get away with it.""Humph!" The elder snorted in disdain, "So what? I"ll kill every one of them. I"ll kill a pair. If you anger me, then I"ll kill a nest of them!"
Cold sweat broke out from the man"s forehead. "You are as dignified as you were back then. Your killing intent is still as strong as ever."
"Haha!" The elder raised his head and laughed loudly, "The world is full of worries. This old man only has one sword. The only thing I can do is to slash it!"
"A single slash!"
When the middle-aged man heard these words, his originally calm face finally changed. His heart became extremely excited.
The old man before him seemed to have become the same old man who stood on the walls of the Tiger Gate Pa.s.s and used his sword to defend against the huge army of one hundred thousand.
"Senior Old Liang"s level is indeed not something we can compare with!" The middle-aged man sighed with heartfelt emotion.
The hempen-clothed old man laughed and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Little brat, don"t be modest. In just a short ten years, that Snow Wolf Camp"s weakest centurion, that peak Earth Stage powerhouse is already very strong!"
"Earth Stage Peak Rank!"
If a third person heard the old man"s words, they would have probably fallen to the ground in shock. How powerful was the Earth Stage Peak Rank? There wouldn"t be more than ten people in the entire State of Feng Yun.
This was already a tyrannical existence that could fight against tens of thousands of enemies, ignoring human weapons. He was just one step away from stepping into the Heaven Stage, becoming a supreme expert that could fly into the sky and escape into the earth, unrestricted by the mortal empire.
However, in front of this hempen-clothed old man, such an expert was actually so humble and respectful. One could only imagine how powerful this old man was!Hearing the elder"s praise, a rare smile appeared on the middle-aged man"s face. However, with his calm demeanor, even though he felt that it was a great honor to be praised by the elder, he quickly regained his composure.
"Senior Liang, why have you come to the Dragon City this time?" The middle-aged man got straight to the point.
"It"s not a big deal. I just want you to investigate someone for me!"
"Who is it!"
"City Lord of Qinfeng City, Lu Yongchang!" The hempen-clothed old man said directly.
"Lu Yongchang?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately revealed some doubt, "Senior Liang, hasn"t this person already been investigated by his subordinates?"
The old man shook his head, his eyes sparkling. "The investigation on this person is within forty years. I want something longer!""Longer? But, didn"t this Lu Yongchang just turn forty this year? "
"Hehe, for high level Cloud Warriors, this age is the easiest thing to hide." The old man sneered.
"I want you to help me bring out all of his personal records from the day he was born in the Dragon City"s Imperial History Pavilion."
"This might be a little difficult."
"What? Can"t get it out?" The old man cast a sidelong glance at the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Although the sect is managed by His Majesty himself, it"s still not difficult for me to get these records."
"Then how long do you need to obtain it?"
"Three days at most!" The middle-aged man affirmed.
"Alright, then I"ll wait for you here for a few days. This matter concerns the safety of the crown prince. You must be quick with your actions, brat."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he cautiously nodded, "Don"t worry, Senior Liang. We watched his highness grow up, so I will remember his safety. I don"t know if his highness is well or not?"
The old man said with a strange expression, "Your Highness is great! Even better than this old man, maybe we can even partic.i.p.ate in this Wind Cloud Nation"s a.s.sembly! "
"Ah, no?" The middle-aged man was stupefied when he heard what Duan Ling Tian said, and he thought the old man was trying to fool him.
"Don"t ask so much. Hurry up and go do something. It won"t be long before you find out." The old man urged impatiently.
"Alright!"
The middle-aged man replied. With a flash of his body, he had already jumped off the towering mountain!
At the same time, in the Dragon City"s Imperial Palace, in a mansion with a deep palace, high walls surrounded it, heavily guarded.
In the study room, where only one person could casually enter, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance sat on a bench with carved dragon heads on both sides of the armrest. His expression was solemn as if he was deep in thought.
After a long time, the man coughed softly. The next moment, a figure shrouded in black robe appeared in the study room without a sound.
The man said after a moment of silence.
"Tell him to eliminate the roots and eliminate any future troubles!"
When the man in black heard this, he bowed towards the man and disappeared in the next moment.Seeing that the black clothed man had disappeared, the man"s thick brows tightly knitted together, revealing a trace of worry on his face.
This was an expression that rarely appeared on his face when he acted decisively.
After what seemed like a long struggle within his heart, the man finally sighed. He raised his head to look at the northwest sky outside the window and said with some guilt.
"It is not what I wish for!"
At this moment, Xiang Yun was already on his way up the mountain. After half a day of galloping, he had finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
He raised his head to look at the outline of the mountain.
Xiang Yun only felt that this mountain was even larger and more imposing than the ones depicted on the map. The mountain was towering as it cut straight into the azure sky. Above the mountain, clouds and mist lingered.There were no mountain powers guarding the mountain, so there were no mountain roads. The mountain roads were steep and the terrain was steep. If a normal person wanted to climb up the mountain, it would be extremely difficult.
However, this kind of mountain formation, for a Five Cloud Martial Disciple like Xiang Yun, although it was not as easy as walking on flat ground, it was still absolutely simple and light. The latter"s feet connected together and continued to climb up the mountain!
Along the way, Xiang Yun purposely climbed up and circled the mountain road, in order to observe the environment of the entire mountain!
This Green h.e.l.lish Mountain was indeed majestic and majestic. It was many times more majestic than the previous world, where Xiang Yun was renowned for being one of the world"s three great mountains and five great mountains.The mountain was covered in dense forest, and the water was clear. There were strange rocks, strange clouds, and misty mountains. There were also rainbows that appeared after the rain. It was truly beautiful.
As they walked, they would often see some wild animals roaming about the forest. They were not afraid of humans, and they all extended their heads to size up Xiang Yun curiously. This strange guest was very lively and had beautiful scenery all over the mountain.Breathing in the sweet air of the mountain, Xiang Yun felt that even though the cloud energy here was not very dense, he still felt an inexplicable sense of goodwill towards this mountain.
He once again observed the mountain for a long time. He discovered that there were many natural caves on top of the mountain. The cave was s.p.a.cious and the air was cool and comfortable. There were quite a few immortal caves hidden in the forest.There were also many places on the mountain, and the terrain was flat, suitable for building pavilions and halls. Although the Green Ming Mountain was steep, and the wood was hard to transport, the trees here were lush, and one could pick up materials on the spot.
After skimming through the scenery of the mountain, Xiang Yun began to like this Green h.e.l.lish Mountain more.
He felt that aside from the fact that Yun Li was a bit thinner, this place was the perfect place to build a sect. It was exactly what he wanted, and he even had a plan of where he would build the sect.
Seeing that it was already getting late, Xiang Yun did not feel tired at all. Instead, he planned to go straight to the peak of the mountain in one go. He wanted to survey the situation and determine where the sect"s great hall would be built from now on.
At the same time, he also brought two sect building orders with him, preparing to find the sect head"s training room. Now that he had found the top of the mountain, he couldn"t wait to experience the mysterious effects of this training room.
