Chapter 91 The Orchid Mountains
Chapter 91 The Orchid Mountains
Li Yunjing stood on the deck, gazing into the distance.
Looking down from the "Qingyun Boat," the beautiful scenery amidst the mountains is simply breathtaking and indescribable.
"If only I could fly on a sword someday!"
With a long sigh, Li Yunjing spoke slowly.
"Hehehe! Junior Brother Li, with your talent, you'll surely have this day sooner or later! As long as you have enough wealth, you can enjoy the feeling of soaring when you enter the inner sect."
Just then, a clear laugh rang out, and an alluring fragrance drew near—it was Fairy Linghua.
"Hehe! From now on, my senior sister and I will fly through the sky on swords together!"
Li Yunjing joked.
Not a single word he said can be taken seriously.
At this moment, the "Azure Cloud Boat" arrived at the void ten miles away from the "Youlan Mountain Range" at an extremely fast speed.
Once we arrived here, the scenery ahead became much clearer.
Looking down, Li Yunjing was awestruck to see the endless sea of flowers at the very center of the distant Youlan Mountains.
The faint fragrance drifted on the wind, reaching the vicinity of the "Azure Cloud Boat" even from hundreds of miles away.
"What flower? It smells so good! Something seems off!"
Smelling the fragrance of flowers, Li Yunjing felt slightly dizzy.
It was only a little bit, and it didn't affect his own condition, but Li Yunjing's abilities allowed him to clearly feel the changes within himself.
This caused Li Yunjing's expression to change drastically.
Meanwhile, Fairy Linghua seemed oblivious, simply gazing happily at the sea of flowers in the distance.
A woman!
I always have an inexplicable fondness for these flowers and plants.
Fairy Linghua was no exception.
"Huh? What happened?"
But at this moment, when the two looked again, the entire sea of flowers in the mountain range was as black as ink, like a world of the dead.
A series of questioning voices suddenly rang out from the deck of the flying boat.
The disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were all stunned by what they saw.
What was once a vibrant sea of flowers, with a delightful fragrance, has suddenly turned pitch black.
There must be a secret here!
Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
I never expected to see such a sea of flowers in the void. What is this?
"There is indeed a secret! A big secret! Once, a powerful figure from the sect at the Nascent Soul stage went deep into it, but never came out again. This place is a forbidden zone in the Southern Heaven Continent, and ordinary people dare not venture into it."
Behind Li Yunjing, someone spoke again.
Li Yunjing turned around, revealing a bright smile. He bowed to the newcomer and said with a smile, "Younger brother Li Yunjing greets Senior Brother Xu!"
The newcomer was none other than Xu Xun, the peerless genius of the "Hall of Enforcement".
"Alright! Get ready! We're here, so we'll land. The steward won't interfere with the rest, unless we're all doomed."
Xu Xun's meaning was clear: the steward had arrived in the "Azure Cloud Boat" on an escort mission.
As for eliminating the treacherous cultivators, that's the business of these disciples.
The big shot didn't have the time to search for these ground squirrels deep in the mountains!
"Alright! Alright! Everyone, hurry up and get off the ship!"
Xu Xun didn't say much to Li Yunjing, and then loudly gave the order.
"Alas! Li Yunjing was somewhat disappointed; he wanted to hear more about the secrets of the 'Youlan Mountains'."
However, the other party was the prodigy Xu Xun, who could say whatever he wanted or not, and Li Yunjing had no way to stop him!
Soon, everyone was notified by the "Enforcement Hall".
Those who were resting walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck.
The "Azure Cloud Boat" slowly descended. Xu Xun gave a few more instructions before ordering everyone to jump down.
"Damn it! The sect steward is so unfair! He actually made us jump! Couldn't he have landed on the ground, let us down, and then flown away?"
After muttering something to himself, Li Yunjing, like the others, jumped down from a height of about 100 feet above the ground.
"Jumping off a spaceship without a parachute, that's so exciting!"
Li Yunjing's figure stabilized in the void, and the true essence flowing under his feet slowed his descent.
Then, flattening its body, it floated down gently onto the ground, as if paddling through water.
These outer disciples could jump down from a hundred feet into the void without needing the power of magical artifacts, so it would be even simpler for the inner disciples.
One by one, they didn't even adjust their posture or breathing in the air before falling straight down to the ground.
In an instant, a lot of mud and dust were kicked up from the spacious grassy area where they landed.
After everyone landed and assembled, they began to move out before Xu Xun could give any orders.
Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the northern sky.
Before long, it flew diagonally above the crowd, and everyone could see that it was a crane.
This crane was enormous, its wings spread wide as it soared through the air, measuring a full three zhang in size. On its back sat a man.
Upon seeing this, everyone took out their magical artifacts and became wary.
"Don't panic! These are our own people!"
Seeing this, Xu Xun waved his hand, signaling everyone to put down their weapons.
"Senior Brother Xu, I'm so sorry to have kept everyone waiting."
With a soft "plop," the enormous crane landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The person on the crane jumped down from its back and came before Xu Xun, repeatedly apologizing.
This man appeared to be middle-aged, with a weathered face and dressed in burlap clothes. He showed no trace of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and his manner of doing things was more like that of a rogue cultivator.
"Junior Brother Liang, we just arrived. Tell us about your investigation."
Xu Xun smiled slightly and gave the order in a calm tone.
Clearly, the two had known each other for a long time.
This person was a secret agent dispatched by the "Enforcement Hall" to investigate the incident of ambushing and killing inner disciples of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".
"Hehe! Senior Brother Xu, the investigation is almost complete!"
The man, surnamed Liang, smiled and said, "I was hiding in the 'Youlan Market.' A few days ago, I finally waited for these bandits to come and sell their stolen goods. I tracked them down to the outside of a cave. When I got there, I dared not enter without permission, for fear of alerting them."
"Good! We've found their hideout! This time, we must wipe them all out!"
Xu Xun sneered repeatedly. As for how many of the Tribulation Cultivators there were and what their cultivation levels were, that was not even within his consideration.
After everyone had gathered in the deserted mountain area, the "Azure Cloud Boat" in the sky turned around, soared into the clouds, and disappeared without a trace.
No one paid any attention to this matter. The important figures on the "Qingyun Boat" would not make a move, as Senior Brother Xu Xun had already clearly informed everyone.
"Everyone, follow my instructions and go into the mountains!"
Led by Xu Xun, the group formed a single file and began to move forward along the mountain path.
Beyond the "Youlan Mountains," there are also many ordinary villages where hunters and herbalists frequently venture into the mountains to hunt and collect medicinal herbs.
In order to conceal their movements, the group from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" did not choose to travel along the mountain paths opened up by mortals.
Instead, they chose a place without roads, with a disciple surnamed Liang and Xu Xun leading the way.
The journey was rugged and thorny, but fortunately, everyone was skilled, so traveling in such a place was not a problem.
The disciple from the Liang family's Enforcement Hall walked in front, using his sword like a knife, forcefully hacking at the trees and thorns blocking his way.
Li Yunjing, Ma Ye, and Fairy Linghua were in the middle of the group, so they didn't need to exert themselves and just needed to follow the people in front.
Along the way, the people from the "Enforcement Hall" were very particular. Their people led the way, and four disciples from the Enforcement Hall were responsible for bringing up the rear to ensure the safety of the group.
The group of people all concealed their auras, and their life fluctuations were even weaker than those of ordinary people.
This move was to prevent someone from setting up hidden sentries in secluded places in the mountains and forests during the robbery, observing their actions, thus exposing their identities and alerting the enemy.
At this time, it was already late autumn.
Everything was desolate, the sky was high and the sun was setting, and the surrounding lush forest was now full of withered, yellow branches, sparse and bare.
Traveling through these mountains and forests, with a large group protecting him, Li Yunjing had no worries whatsoever.
Instead, it expressed the heroic sentiment that "autumn brings sorrow and desolation, but autumn days surpass even spring mornings."
Seeing Li Yunjing's outing-like demeanor, Ma Ye shook his head slightly.
Young masters from wealthy families are just pretentious; they're here to risk their lives, not for an autumn outing.
Linghua Fairy moved slightly away from Li Yunjing and secretly opened the mother jade of the "Mother and Child Linked Jade" on her body.
This treasure emitted a faint, undetectable signal, serving as a guide for those in the "Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly" who carried the jade.
Now that she was here, there was no need for her to pretend with Li Yunjing anymore.
She became aloof and ethereal, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.
Li Yunjing was very satisfied that Fairy Linghua did not bother him.
Li Yunjing didn't do anything; neither the Yu family nor the Fu family behind him contacted him. However, he knew that both families must have Foundation Establishment Realm experts involved.
Such a master is naturally more powerful than the members of the "Ten Thousand Laws Assembly".
They will surely appear at the right time and in the right place.
"Brother Li, concentrate. Be careful. This time, we don't seek merit, but only to avoid mistakes."
Seeing that Li Yunjing's gaze kept lingering on the scenic spots around him, Ma Ye couldn't help but whisper behind him.
"Brother Ma, don't be nervous. There are so many senior brothers and sisters from the inner sect here, and experts like Senior Brother Xu Xun. Even if these cultivators wanted to ambush us, they wouldn't be able to."
Li Yunjing turned around and looked at Ma Ye with a half-smile.
I never imagined that such a big, burly man could be so timid and cautious.
If he's not afraid, why should Ma Ye be?
Li Yunjing is about to face not only the sneak attacks from the Tribulation Cultivators, but also the people from the "Ten Thousand Laws Assembly"!
"Yes! What this junior brother says is quite right! With our 'Enforcement Hall' members guiding you through missions, it's practically like you're getting contribution points for free. What's there to be nervous about?"
One of the disciples from the "Enforcement Hall" in the middle of the group overheard Li Yunjing and Ma Ye's conversation, couldn't help but look at them, and slowly said.
His voice was steady and powerful, clearly indicating that he was an extremely confident expert.
The man looked at Li Yunjing with a slight hint of admiration.
When he looked at Ma Ye, he couldn't help but show a hint of disdain. He labeled Ma Ye as sleazy, cowardly, and full of worries.
"Ha ha……"
Seeing the gaze of this senior brother from the Enforcement Hall, Ma Ye knew perfectly well that he had left a bad impression on this person, and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
"Don't worry, you people. When we encounter cultivators who have been robbed, we inner disciples will not stand idly by. They won't be able to hurt you."
Another inner disciple in green robes laughed and said, "You outer disciples lack experience. In the inner sect, every disciple has participated in such operations at least eight or ten times."
Several inner disciples in the middle of the group nodded in deep agreement.
They didn't mock the outer disciples, because this was the sect's usual training method.
Outer disciples rarely participate in combat missions outside the sect; they mostly perform auxiliary tasks.
Their inner disciples are the main force, the regular force that promotes the prestige of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and travels the world.
Many inner disciples did not cultivate at the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," but instead appeared in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
