"Longevity Sect?" Li Changqing felt the name sounded somewhat familiar.
He immediately remembered the mysterious ancient painting he entered before, and how the Ghost Race had mentioned the Longevity Sect.
Xu Muhai narrated what happened when he encountered the Longevity Sect.
"If it weren’t for the wooden carving suppression you made, Brother Changqing, I might have been killed by that Longevity Sect." Xu Muhai still felt lingering fear.
"It sounds like some sort of evil cult," Li Changqing said helplessly. "It’s a pity that the Earth-Zang King Bodhisattva I gave you can only suppress, not eliminate. Didn’t Mu Qingge say she would find a way when she returned? Doesn’t the Medical King Valley have a solution?"
"I’ve already sent a letter to the Medical King Valley, but there’s still no news." Xu Muhai was quite worried.
"Is Saint Heng really alright?"
Xu Muhai: "..."
In Xu Muhai’s view, Li Changqing was undoubtedly doting on his child like a madman.
The sky was getting light.
Cloud Flipping City.
Li Hengsheng left the inn and saw Yang Tiantian sitting at a street stall nearby, eating breakfast.
"Good morning, Senior Sister," Li Hengsheng approached.
They had hurried to Cloud Flipping City yesterday, delayed a bit on the road, and arrived by dusk, so they decided to stay for a day and head to Pengyun Village the next day.
"You woke up really late," Yang Tiantian looked up at Li Hengsheng.
"I lost track of time while cultivating," Li Hengsheng chuckled. He hadn’t slept the previous night, engrossed in cultivation, and by the time he stopped, it was already morning.
"Senior Sister, should we go find the junior disciples stationed here to inquire about the cave?" Li Hengsheng picked up an oil cake.
"I’ve already been,"
Yang Tiantian suddenly paused eating, then said, "This batch of disciples just switched posts to Cloud Flipping City and aren’t the previous ones, so they’re unaware of the situation."
"Looks like we’ll have to go ourselves," Li Hengsheng nodded.
After finishing their meal, they headed out of the city towards Gaolian Mountain.
The terrain of the Gaolian Mountain Range was steep, and there were many wild beasts in the mountain, taking Li Hengsheng and Yang Tiantian two hours to get there.
Meanwhile, at a cliff in the mountains.
A shadow knelt down respectfully and said, "Protector, they have arrived."
"Quite late,"
A voice full of languidness responded. On a tree vine ahead sat a young girl with a small fox on her shoulder.
The girl’s eyes were gray, almost devoid of pupils.
Rather eerie.
The girl flipped over and went to the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance before sitting cross-legged.
"Ali, guard me," the girl said to the fox on her shoulder.
The small fox squealed, then climbed down from her shoulder.
The girl looked into the distance, her gray pupils suddenly dilating at this moment, sending out ripples from her pupils, making everything seem different where they passed.
Yet at this moment, Li Hengsheng and Yang Tiantian, searching for Pengyun Village in the mountains, seemed completely unaware of this strange wave.
"Senior Sister, I’ve found it." At this moment, Li Hengsheng pointed to the distance, saying, "There’s cooking smoke over there, someone must be preparing a meal. Pengyun Village should be there."
Yang Tiantian took a look, and indeed, there was cooking smoke rising.
Why hadn’t she noticed it before?
Staring at the smoke, Yang Tiantian felt something was peculiar, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what.
"Let’s go," Yang Tiantian said calmly, taking the lead ahead of Li Hengsheng, her vigilance rising.
