The Jiuhua Cloud Chariot hovered quietly outside the protective array of Xuantu Mountain.

Nine cloud dragons, each fifty feet long, stood on the clouds, their heads slightly lowered, emitting low moans from their throats.

The hot desert wind, carrying fine yellow sand, blew from the depths of the wasteland, striking the protective light shield outside the ancient vehicle and making a rustling sound.

The car doors slowly opened, and figures stepped out.

Leading the way was Wang Da, still dressed in simple gray clothes, with an unremarkable face and an expression as indifferent as a dry well.

Then came Wang Er, Wang Shiyi, Wang Shiqi, and a group of bodyguard puppets.

After that, there were Lu Yang, Qin Nanyue, and Lu Qingtong.

Before the great formation, Yang Qiu and the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs from Xuantu Mountain saw Wang Da and his group of puppet bodyguards file out, and their hearts began to sink.

Nascent Soul... Nascent Soul... still Nascent Soul!

With their keen eyesight, they quickly realized that the nine cloud dragons were formed by an array, a derivative of the array of that flying magic weapon.

However, this does not mean that these nine cloud dragons have no fighting power.

As long as enough spirit stones are provided for this flying magic weapon, these nine cloud dragons can be treated as nine genuine Nascent Soul stage dragons!

Originally, they thought that although the nine cloud dragons posed a considerable threat to Xuan Tu Mountain and made them somewhat wary, they were not enough to cause them great concern.

But the situation is different now.

Qin Nanyue and Jiang Shiqing are both beauties with whom the favorability rating has been maxed out, and each of them has brought two puppet bodyguards at the Nascent Soul stage.

In addition, there are Wang Da and Wang Er, who come with Lu Yang.

There are six Nascent Soul stage experts here!

In addition to the nine cloud dragons, there are a total of fifteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators!

Such formidable strength even put Xuan Tu Shan under immense pressure, causing a hint of worry to rise in his heart.

Xuantu Mountain has a history of over 100,000 years, and even with the full strength of the entire sect, it has only managed to cultivate thirteen Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

Although the sect's protective formation meant they weren't afraid of being wiped out by these fifteen Nascent Soul stage experts, the oppressive atmosphere still made each of them feel immense pressure.

What truly worried the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Xuantu Mountain was which force could possibly send so many Nascent Soul stage experts to their Xuantu Mountain at once?!

Yang Qiu and the others had already secretly communicated that none of these Nascent Soul stage experts were familiar to them.

He was neither a True Lord from Huangzhou nor one of the famous powerhouses from the neighboring states.

Its unknown origins make it more daunting than any known formidable foe.

Soon, they discovered something even more amiss: whether it was the Nascent Soul stage experts or the beautiful young female cultivators, they all seemed to be led by the white-robed youth.

There was even a blonde girl with a rather powerful aura lying on the back of the white-robed youth.

and many more……

Yang Qiu and the others looked at Lu Qingtong on Lu Yang's back, their pupils suddenly contracting in disbelief.

This is also a Nascent Soul cultivator?!

How is that possible??

Such a young Nascent Soul stage...

Soon, they realized what was happening, and a chill ran through them.

An aged voice echoed in Yang Qiu's mind, trembling slightly: "A juvenile great demon! Possessing the formidable strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator at such a young age, what kind of bloodline does this great demon possess?! Could it be a juvenile great demon from the Spirit Realm??"

Then another voice echoed in Yang Qiu's mind: "Judging from the appearance of the great demon, and its close relationship with that white-robed youth, could it be its natal spirit beast?! Also... those Nascent Soul True Monarchs, judging from their positions, seem to be subtly protecting that white-robed youth. Could this white-robed youth be the one in charge among them?!"

"That white-robed youth is strange! His very existence seems to possess some kind of special ability, which actually caused a slight ripple in my consciousness! It's too bizarre!"

The chaotic sound of voice transmissions made Yang Qiu increasingly frustrated.

He had also considered these issues, and looking at the handsome, extraordinary young man in white robes who seemed like an immortal being, a look of apprehension and solemnity appeared in his eyes.

He transmitted his voice to the many elders of Xuantu Mountain, saying in a low voice, "Don't panic! They may not be here to cause trouble! We've never even seen them before, and we have no grudge against them. Why would they come looking for trouble? Perhaps they need our help in some way! If they really need help, we'll lend a hand and try to make a good connection."

The other elders of Xuantu Mountain responded with telepathic messages.

A force capable of fielding such a Nascent Soul cultivator lineup must be extraordinary. Offending such a force could bring trouble even to Xuan Tu Mountain.

To them, Lu Yang and his group were nothing but a plague at this moment!

It would be best to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Yang Qiu took a deep breath, steadied himself, and while discussing countermeasures with the group of Supreme Elders in his mind, he cupped his hands in greeting, a smile appearing on his aged face, his wrinkles crinkling together. His tone was quite polite: "Greetings, fellow Daoists. May I ask... who is speaking?"

Lu Yang smiled slightly and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, we've come here to see someone."

Upon hearing Lu Yang speak, Yang Qiu and the others realized that it was indeed the case.

This unusual-looking young man in white robes was indeed the one in charge among them!

A cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage could actually have so many Nascent Soul True Monarchs surrounding and protecting him, and even possess a natal spirit beast with an incredibly terrifying bloodline...

Just who is this young man?

Because it is very close to Daozhou, several of the Supreme Elders of Xuantu Mountain have visited Taixuan Dao Sect to some extent.

They had also met the younger generation of Daoist disciples of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect and several other top prodigies.

However, none of those prodigies looked like Lu Yang.

His demeanor was even more noble than that of some of the top prodigies of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect!

Could it be from another sacred land, the Hunyuan Sword Sect?

It doesn't look like it...

He had met cultivators from the Hunyuan Sword Sect. Sword cultivators who mainly cultivated the sword path were always sharp and shrewd, especially the cultivators from the Hunyuan Sword Sect, who were arrogant and domineering.

This young man appeared quite gentle and reserved, unlike someone who cultivated swordsmanship; rather, he might be someone who followed the path of literature.

Yang Qiu's thoughts were racing, but the expression on her face remained unchanged.

He immediately adopted a stern expression, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you wish to see cultivators from my Xuan Tu Mountain? If there is any misunderstanding between you and the people of Xuan Tu Mountain, I am willing to vouch for you and will absolutely not show favoritism towards the cultivators of my mountain!"

Lu Yang smiled slightly: "It's not exactly a misunderstanding. I just want to meet your Xuan Tu Mountain elder, Qingxuan Zhenren Li Fangfang."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qiu and the others raised their eyebrows, feeling somewhat relieved.

A burly middle-aged man in a dark yellow short robe behind Yang Qiu immediately smiled: "So you're here to see Xiao Li? Are you his friend? I'll inform him right away!"

The others also had smiles on their faces, and the tense atmosphere from before was completely gone.

The elders present had all heard of Li Fangfang to some extent.

Li Fangfang is a very righteous person, and he has always been calm and reliable, never causing any trouble for the sect.

Since they came to find Li Fangfang, they certainly weren't there to seek revenge.

This white-robed youth is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Perhaps he encountered some trouble while traveling and was helped by Li Fangfang, so he came to repay the favor.

If Li Fangfang could form an alliance with such a force through this, it would be a great achievement for him!

Thinking of this, the elders began to discuss it amongst themselves.

We're just waiting for Li Fangfang to come out and meet us.

…………

Deep within the Xuantu Mountains, on a desolate sand dune.

Inside a stone hall, Li Fangfang and his two disciples were looking at the sky outside.

The imposing figures of the nine cloud dragons standing on the clouds were still clearly visible from afar, and the aura of the Nascent Soul stage surged in wave after wave, making the air feel somewhat heavy.

The two disciples were quite different. One was tall and strong, wearing a brown short robe, with a simple and honest face. The other was slender, wearing a light blue long robe, and quite handsome.

At this moment, there was a hint of tension in their eyes.

The tall young man asked nervously, "Who is this person? He exudes such a powerful aura! Could someone be trying to break in?"

The handsome young man rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless, and said, "Junior brother, you're always so easily startled. Our Xuan Tu Mountain is indeed one of the top sects in the entire Huangzhou. In the entire Eastern Region, apart from those two immortal sects and holy lands, other forces are not necessarily much stronger than us. Who can break into our sect?"

The tall young man was still a little uneasy and turned to look at Li Fangfang.

Li Fangfang has an ordinary appearance, with a gentle smile on his face, and seems to be a good-tempered person.

Li Fangfang is Zhou Mu's alias in Xuantu Mountain.

For each identity, he would prepare a corresponding alias and a complete background.

This identity as an elder of Xuantu Mountain is one of the identities he uses most often and is most effective at present.

"Master, what do you think? Will there be any problems?"

Zhou Mu gazed at the ancient bronze chariot in the sky, his eyes sparkling with a flurry of thoughts.

A flying magical artifact of the highest grade...

That's strange...

He had traveled throughout the Eastern Region for many years, his footprints covering all thirty-six states, and he even had some understanding of the two great immortal sects and holy lands, but he had never seen such a flying magic weapon before.

The nine cloud dragons appear to be creations of an array, but in reality, every scale and every dragon roar embodies extremely high mastery of array techniques.

The array patterns on the nine-tiered canopy were so impressive that even the well-informed Blood Demon Palace Master was astonished.

It was nested layer upon layer, with each element interlocking with the next, making it more ingenious than any other formation he had ever encountered.

The faction that possesses such a flying magical artifact is probably extraordinary.

I wonder what brings you to Xuantu Mountain?

If Xuan Tu Shan really runs into trouble, then he will have no choice but to give up this identity.

What a pity... this identity was quite useful.

Zhou Mu pondered for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "My Xuan Tu Mountain has always acted uprightly and never offended any powerful forces. There's no way we could have any enemies coming to us. Don't worry unnecessarily. Instead of wasting your time on this, you should focus on your cultivation."

The honest-looking young man, hearing his master say this, chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "Alright, Master! Since Master says so, then everything must be fine!"

Just as Zhou Mu was about to say something more, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Xiao Li, come here, someone wants to see you."

Zhou Mu's smile faltered slightly, and a faint ripple flashed in his eyes.

That person came to see him?

Zhou Mu's heart sank, and he instinctively felt that something was not right.

He quickly went through in his mind all the people he had met and all the things he had done over the years as Li Fangfang...

There was nothing wrong with it, nothing that warranted such a grand display.

But that unease was like a stone thrown into water, creating ripples that were difficult to quell.
