The road is vague

Chapter 286 Gobi Clouds and Rain
Six hundred miles away from Haotian Mountain, there is a Sanxi Mountain.

Because the Duotian Sect is a lineage of the Longevity Dao in the State of Lu, its disciples have long pursued seclusion and quiet cultivation, so there are no large towns within a radius of a thousand miles.

With a sudden twist in the air, Li Mo floated lightly down from a height of half a meter onto a grassy field.

Several wild deer that were drinking water by the stream in the distance immediately fled at the sight of the approaching bird.

"here it is?"

After looking around, Li Mo took out a map and instinctively looked up at the sky.

A series of Soul-Binding Aurora beams continuously descended from the clouds. These Soul-Binding Aurora beams were extremely penetrating and still posed a great danger to cultivators above the Golden Core stage. He needed to take this opportunity to reunite with Zuo Lan as soon as possible and leave the territory of Lu Kingdom.

The illusory figure conjured by the old man leaped up and appeared on Li Mo's shoulder.

"How did the Mountain and Sea Realm become like this!"

"Squeak."

The money-stealing rat had no experience living in the Mountain and Sea Realm; it was born in the Heaven-Seizing Realm, and its interest in this place was mostly out of curiosity.

Li Mo was checking the map to confirm his location when he heard this and instinctively asked a question in return.

"What was the Mountain and Sea Realm like before?"

"It's huge, huge, huge, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is much denser. There's none of this oppressive feeling we have now. It seems that what you said about ancient cultivators communicating with heaven and earth and causing the Mountain and Sea Realm to enter the Dharma-ending Age might indeed be a real event..."

While the old man was deep in thought and muttering his response, Li Mo had already confirmed the location and immediately took off on his sword, flying towards the meeting place he had agreed upon with Zuo Lan.

About an hour later.

Li Mo arrived at the shore of Biqing Lake and, looking into the distance, saw a jade flying car indeed parked above the island in the middle of the lake.

Sensing someone approaching, Zuo Lan looked over.

"Fellow Daoist Li Heiquan!"

"Fellow Daoist Zuo Lan!"

After a brief greeting, Li Mo entered Zuo Lan's emerald flying car, which vanished in a flash and headed towards the border of Lu State.

As Li Mo sat in the flying car, a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

At first, he was a little surprised, thinking that the speed of this flying car was too slow, even far slower than his white jade flying car, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

However, as the Emerald Car flew for a while, its speed increased rapidly, and it had already surpassed his White Jade Car. Moreover, its speed continued to increase, leaving him speechless with astonishment.

Zuo Lan smiled slightly upon seeing this.

"This is our sect's secret flying chariot. With just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, its speed is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator. From here to Chewu Kingdom, if we don't stop along the way, it will take at most three or four days."

"The flying chariot technique of the Thousand Chariots Sect is indeed incredibly wondrous. However, I have heard that what makes the neighboring countries truly wary of the Thousand Chariots Sect is its military formation barrier. The Thousand Chariots Sect's techniques allow each disciple to communicate with each other. I wonder if this is true?"

"Indeed, our disciples are not good at one-on-one combat, but they can give full play to our strengths on large-scale battlefields."

that's it.

The two of them talked amongst themselves and quickly flew towards the border region of the State of Lu.

Because Zuo Lan possessed the mark of a true disciple of the Thousand Chariots Sect, the Lu Kingdom cultivators along the way did not obstruct her after probing her with their divine senses.

the other side.

Upon returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm, Liu Can and Zhao Wu, true disciples of the Duotian Sect, rushed to their sect immediately.

Zhao Wu, being closer, was the first to return to the White Jade Square of Haotian Mountain and report what had happened in the Heavenly Realm to the Yuanhun Ancestor who guarded the place.

Upon hearing this, Elder Jin's face immediately darkened.

"The two countries are currently in a truce. It's one thing for the Qian Kingdom to send its true disciples to participate in the conference, but they even dare to try to seize power from the jaws of death. If we let them take away that Rainbow Bird, wouldn't our Duotian Sect become sinners against the Lu Kingdom?"

Say it.

Elder Jin snorted coldly.

After making a hand seal, he extended his right index and middle fingers and lightly touched his forehead.

A barely perceptible, subtle spiritual light flickered and spread in all directions. After a while, he frowned slightly.

"What's going on? I can't sense the Heavenly Mark you left behind at all?"

Zhao Wu looked astonished upon hearing this.

"How is this possible? Could they have flown out of the mark's sensing range?"

After some thought, Elder Jin made a decision.

"I am to guard the White Jade Square and you are not to leave without permission. You must immediately go to the Yuanhun Palace, find your Uncle Bai, and go to the border as quickly as possible to activate the protective array and prevent anyone from leaving the territory!"

"Yes."

Zhao Wu immediately went to the Yuanhun Palace.

Just moments later, a beam of light shot into the sky and headed straight for the border of the State of Lu.

What Zuo Lan and Li Mo didn't know was...

The two had only been traveling in the jade chariot for half an hour when the grand formations of all the border passes and fortresses of Lu were activated simultaneously, forbidding anyone from leaving without permission.

Ahead lay an endless, desolate Gobi Desert, and Li Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His risky infiltration into the State of Lu to participate in the Longevity and Enlightenment Conference was fraught with danger, but he also gained a great deal, acquiring a preliminary understanding of the State of Lu.

This is indeed a country that is completely different from Qian Kingdom in every aspect.

Now that the trip was over, Li Mo was no longer going to hide it from Zuo Lan.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zuo Lan. To be honest, my true identity is Li Mo, a disciple of the Lingmu Sect of the Great Qian Kingdom. I took the Rainbow Bird from the secret realm. The cultivators of the Lu Kingdom will certainly not let me go easily, so I used your identity to escape."

Zuo Lan was not surprised when she heard this.

She looked thoughtful, and her gaze toward Li Mo was somewhat strange.

"Since you are a disciple of the Spirit Eye Sect, you must have already seen through my true gender, right?"

"indeed so."

Seeing Li Mo's response, Zuo Lan blushed and sighed softly. "The Kingdom of Chewu is different from your Great Qian Kingdom. Female cultivators can travel openly there. Although I am a descendant of the Xuanyuan Ancestor, I cannot reveal my true gender. I can only disguise myself as a male cultivator, living a secluded life as Master Zuo Lan, forbidden from contacting others, and forced to cultivate alone in solitude..."

Zuo Lan didn't care about Li Mo's true identity.

She poured out her heart to Li Mo, expressing the bitterness she had been suppressing for many years in Chewu Kingdom. She could only relieve her sorrow by crafting flying chariots. When she looked at Li Mo with deep emotion, it seemed as if a raging fire was burning in her eyes.

A few hours later.

The two, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, actually made love in the depths of this desolate Gobi Desert, inside the emerald flying car.

Zuo Lan's cheeks were flushed, and she kept sobbing.

She felt as if she were melting, looking at the serious-looking Li Mo with tenderness in her eyes, constantly encouraging him. This was a wonderful experience she had never had before.

After Li Mo let out a low roar, his strong and handsome physique seemed to be filled with boundless explosive power.

Zuo Lan couldn't help but become engrossed in it, her throat growing hoarse with each cry. Finally, she clung tightly to the person in front of her like an octopus, until the volcano in front of her seemed to gradually subside, and she continued to pant heavily. A tear also flowed from her eyes.

Li Mo, who had been suppressing his emotions for many years, was finally able to let loose today.

Looking at the female cultivator before him, her body burning with passion, he couldn't help but think of Lü Cuicui, his feelings a complex mix of emotions.

On the one hand, he felt a strong sense of self-reproach, on the other hand, he also felt a sense of pleasure in retaliating against the other party, and at the same time, he was somewhat infatuated with this woman of a different style.

"I want more."

Zuo Lan whispered softly in Li Mo's ear in her hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo seemed to receive boundless encouragement, and his breathing became heavy again. Zuo Lan's eyes were filled with a dreamy look as she gazed at Li Mo, as if she wanted to melt him.

The two began their passionate encounters again, tirelessly taking from each other.

far away.

The Foolish Old Man and the Money-Stealing Rat rested in the shade of a clod of Gobi soil, chuckling as they looked at the Emerald Flying Car and clicking their tongues in discussion.

The rainbow bird paced back and forth, looking restless and impatient.

When the old man noticed the Rainbow Bird's agitation, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I almost forgot, you also need to reproduce. It must be a painful experience, right?"

"Humph!"

The Rainbow Bird snorted coldly. If it weren't for the fact that it had no mates in the Heavenly Realm, it wouldn't have chosen to leave. The reason it chose to roost on the Jianmu Tree was precisely because it hoped to attract a mate by taking advantage of the tree's spatial characteristics.

Until the next day.

Li Mo and Zuo Lan changed their clothes again and ate a simple meal in the Emerald Flying Car.

Zuo Lan's gaze toward Li Mo was filled with undisguised satisfaction.

Although she had already put on men's clothing again and resumed her identity as Master Zuo Lan, she had undergone a tremendous transformation in just one day, and her eyes revealed an undeniable charm.

Li Mo kept his head down, intently eating the food in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

He seemed to feel guilty about his downfall, but at the same time he couldn't help but recall that completely different sense of satisfaction, and his feelings were mixed.

suddenly!

The two people, who were eating with their heads down, suddenly stood up at the same time, their faces showing horror.

A divine sense from the Golden Core stage swept over the two of them without any concealment.

Li Mo's figure flashed and appeared outside the flying car, looking towards the horizon. The Rainbow Bird, the Foolish Old Man, and Little Squeak all rushed over.

"That's impossible! We've already traveled so far from the State of Lu. Let alone a mere Golden Core cultivator, even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't possibly explore such a distant place!"

As an ancient immortal being, Master Dai only allowed Xiao Zhi to release the Rainbow Bird after confirming its safety.

The Rainbow Bird is, after all, a living creature and cannot live in the world of theft for long; otherwise, it would be gradually consumed.

Zuo Lan restarted the Emerald Flying Car and anxiously looked at Li Mo through the curtains.

"They're definitely up to no good. What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"No, if we go together, neither of us can escape. Do you remember the white jade flying chariot you modified for me? I happen to have a high-grade spirit stone on me. You go first!"

"This……"

Zuo Lan gave Li Mo a deep look, her face showing pain and reluctance. Then she glanced at the figure in the distance, said nothing more, quickly lowered the curtain, and drove away in her jade flying car.

Li Mo looked at Zuo Lan as she walked away, and a sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.

If it were Lü Cuicui, she wouldn't leave no matter what.

Li Mo then calmed himself down, took out the white jade flying chariot and fled in another direction, while summoning his true demon clone and discussing plans with Master Dai and Xiao Zhi.

The pursuers headed straight for Li Mo.

As the distance between them drew closer, Li Mo was taken aback when he saw who was chasing him.

The newcomers were not cultivators from the State of Lu, or rather, not cultivators from the official State of Lu. There were three of them in total. The leader, a Golden Core cultivator, was a masked female cultivator, and the two following behind her were none other than members of the Hidden Dragon Organization of the Heavenly Realm!
"Could it be... that they left a mark on themselves?"

Li Mo then realized that he had wronged Master Dai, which also reminded him of the sacrificial ceremony he had encountered when he first entered the State of Lu.

This Golden Core cultivator was most likely the one who presided over that ceremony.

"Even if a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm refines a natal magic weapon, it won't be able to nourish him for many years. With the True Demon clone, plus the main body and the puppet, I have no need to fear this person at all!"

Li Mo thought so in his heart.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He thought he had caused the trouble.

far away.

"Haha, Elder, you are indeed a brilliant strategist! Since the other party is a true disciple sent by the Qian Kingdom, how could he be so easily trapped in the territory of the Lu Kingdom? He was just like us, and had planned ahead!"

Upon learning that the State of Lu had sealed off its borders and was searching for a disciple of the Lingmu Sect named Li Mo, the three immediately left the State of Lu through a secret channel controlled by the Canglong Organization and began aimlessly searching for the traces they had left behind in the Gobi Desert.

As it turned out, the three of them actually hit the jackpot and found Li Mo's location.
