963: Chapter 274: Encountered Colleagues 963: Chapter 274: Encountered Colleagues Stepping forward, Ji Feixue looked around.
This place didn’t possess the various mysteries rumored to exist, just a world with three big mountains.
There was no defense—the Ascending Immortal Drum was never Guiwang Mountain’s defense.
If someone truly found Guiwang Mountain Gate and wanted to break through, the Ascending Immortal Drum would immediately make way!
Entering Guiwang Mountain was too easy.
If that was all, how could Guiwang Mountain have stood for so long?
“Loose on the outside, tight on the inside,” Ji Feixue transmitted her voice to Su He, as a reminder.
It was easy to enter this world, but the real locations with treasures were surely heavily guarded—not by people, and definitely not from the Mortal Realm.
Guards were never just people.
If her guess was wrong, and there was no trickery between Guiwang Mountain and the Dragon Turtle Tribe, what awaited Su He would be a Thunder Strike…
After such a lengthy passage of time, with each generation setting up only a single defense, this place must be as impregnable as a fortified city of gold.
As Ji Feixue walked on, she heard a voice from behind: “Junior Sister Ji, please wait a moment, your Senior Brother will introduce you to this place.” New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
The voice of Dongxu came from behind, and he could be seen jogging over.
“Thief!” In the Cave World, Su He bellowed in rage!
Not to mention the past, even now this Artifact Spirit considered itself as someone of the inner sect generation, addressing Ji Feixue as a junior sister?
I’ll smash your drum to pieces!
A slight smile lifted the corners of the Demon Ji Feixue’s mouth, then quickly disappeared: “He is an Artifact Spirit, with no distinction between male and female—nor the affections thereof.
Moreover, the Ascending Immortal Drum regards everyone from All Heavens and Myriad Realms as juniors.
It would address even a Tao Master as a junior brother.”
No distinction between genders, yet self-proclaimed Senior Brother?
Su He glanced over as the Ascending Immortal Drum Spirit caught up: “Junior Sister, it is my duty to introduce you to Guiwang Mountain since it’s your first visit.”
Ji Feixue didn’t need his introduction; she was just delivering Su He here and hadn’t truly considered becoming a disciple of Guiwang Mountain.
If she had wanted to become a disciple, she would have done so as a child.
Why wait until reaching the Stepping Sky Five-fold, when one could be called a Greater Power, to do it?
However, the Dragon Turtle Tribe needed information about Guiwang Mountain, and although Ji Feixue disliked the Ascending Immortal Drum, she didn’t dismiss it.
Dongxu chuckled: “Junior Sister should know, after striking the Ascending Immortal Drum, once you pass the Moon-Questioning Gate, you are a Guiwang Mountain disciple.”
He pointed to a distant stone gate that was far off into the extreme distance, but being extraordinary beings here, they could naturally see it at a glance.
“That is the Moon-Questioning Gate.
There are no restrictions.
Junior Sister can attempt it as long as she wishes, as many times as she wants.”
Having said that, he stopped.
There actually wasn’t much he could introduce before a new disciple entered the sect.
Ji Feixue didn’t respond, just looked at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Dongxu was taken aback for a moment, his expression changing slightly.
He followed behind Ji Feixue for more than ten yards and finally, biting down hard, said with a barefaced demeanor: “Junior Sister Ji is different from others.
I’m not supposed to reveal certain information to others, but for Junior Sister, there’s no need for secrecy.”
It seemed like he was giving himself an excuse.
After saying that, he pointed to the mountain in front and said: “Those are Xuanting, Zhenyou, and Guiwang.
The other two mountains are inconsequential.
Guiwang Mountain has one hundred and eight peaks, but not every peak is occupied; after all, over two generations, our Guiwang Mountain has only sixty-seven people.
On the mountain, there are Scripture Cliff, Fenbao Rock, Medicine Garden, Utensil Building…”
The Ascending Immortal Drum continued to introduce the place to Ji Feixue with a smiling face—yet it mentioned none of the real secrets!
It was merely giving a simple introduction of the environment.
But for Su He, this information was as vital as any secret.
He memorized every detail.
Dongxu, on the other hand, became more embarrassed as he introduced more.
Real secrets, such as which Big Array was being used today, which Guards and Elders were present in the sect, and what secrets the Elders had…
he truly could not reveal.
Unless Ji Feixue passed the Moon-Questioning Gate.
As he introduced her around, they covered great distances in a few steps, and within moments, the Moon-Questioning Gate was right in front of them.
Dongxu, scratching his head and feeling embarrassed, looked at Ji Feixue.
Ji Feixue glanced at him: “You may leave!”
“Yes!” Dongxu, as if pardoned, didn’t even want to fly back on clouds; his body simply transformed into points of light and scattered, reforming inside the Ascending Immortal Drum.
As Ji Feixue approached the Moon-Questioning Gate, she saw a young man bowing to the ground, panting heavily, looking at the stone archway ahead with sweat pouring down like rain.
He was not aware of the new arrival behind him, pushing off with his feet, suddenly lunging forward, and rushing through the Moon-Questioning Gate, only to lose his footing moments later and reappear in front of the Moon-Questioning Gate, right back at his starting point.
The joy on his face instantly turned to defeat.
He rubbed a ring on his hand with a jittery, anxious demeanor.
It seemed he wanted to rub a flower out of the ring.
Ji Feixue glanced at him but then looked away.
Doesn’t everyone have their little secrets?
Perhaps the young man’s ring could increase luck.
In the Cave World, the Demon Ji Feixue’s eyes opened, and she looked at Su He: “You may leave in stealth, with seven days as your limit.
Within seven days, ascertain the treasures you seek.
After seven days, at the Hours of Zi, I’ll break through the Moon-Questioning Gate and attract the attention of all in Guiwang Mountain; afterwards, I’ll leave.
As for your matters, I won’t intervene anymore.”
She only had this one chance!
Su He smiled, noting that Ji Feixue spoke more today, her sentences becoming notably longer.
No longer the cold brevity of just a few words as before.
He nodded with a smile: “Alright!
Wife, take care of yourself.
If I am caught, remember we’re strangers, don’t save me.”
He was laughing, but his eyes were utterly serious.
Ji Feixue nodded: “Alright!”
As she spoke, a fairy sword materialized in the Cave World, and she lifted it to slash at her sea of consciousness.
Su He, greatly alarmed, leaped up and suppressed the Immortal Sword with one claw, incredulously staring at her Demon form: “What are you doing?”
Are you showing signs of lunacy at this moment?
Ji Feixue’s expression was unmoved: “Erasing memory!”
