The Man in the Sedan
A shuttle-shaped magical Law Artifact swiftly flew away from the Wu family's residence, carrying Wu Sihai and his four companions. Yue Qianchou back at the stern, examining the entire Law Artifact and exclaimed, "The Jing family's artifact-making skills are indeed well-deserved. This one is better than the ones sold outside. The patterns are beautiful, and the flight speed is amazing. Even the seating position is more comfortable than others. Not bad, not bad!"
Wu Sihai glanced at Jing Feihong, who was personally controlling the Law Artifact, and laughed, "It's good, but the materials it consumes are also frightening."
Yue Qianchou opened his mouth, wanting to say that it didn't matter if it was expensive, as long as it was practical, and to give him a few as well. But remembering his earlier complaint about being poor, he kept quiet. He wondered if he should ask Jing Zuo to get one for him to play with next time.
According to their estimation, the journey to the Demon Ghost Domain would take more than a day. Yue Qianchou sat in the back, examining the core he was forming within his Dantian. Since absorbing fire elemental energy, it was as if a spark had been ignited within it, activating the entire core. He no longer needed to cultivate; it could absorb True Essence solidify itself on its own, absorbing it day and night within his Dantian. This forced Yue Qianchou to absorb Spiritual Qi from Spirit Stone daily and refine it into True Essence. Now, with nothing else to do, he secretly pinched a Spirit Stone to replenish the True Essence within his body.
He didn't know when he fell asleep. In his dream, the heroine Wu Lixue was bravely sacrificing herself when he suddenly heard someone calling him. Yue Qianchou reluctantly opened his eyes. It was Wu Sihai calling him. He swallowed hard, thinking, "If only it were a little later, your granddaughter would be almost naked." He clicked his tongue and asked, "What is it?"
The four exchanged a glance, somewhat amused and exasperated. They were about to enter the terrifying Demon Ghost Domain, yet this guy wasn't worried at all and could even sleep soundly? But then they felt relieved. They had initially worried that Yue Qianchou Yue Qianchou, but seeing his nonchalant attitude, which clearly indicated his confidence, they felt much more at ease.
Wu Sihai waved his hand and pointed straight ahead at the flying shuttle, saying, "The Demon Ghost Domain is just ahead. Which way should we go?"
"We've arrived so quickly?" Yue Qianchou groggily got up and walked to the head of the shuttle. Ahead, a vast expanse of sorrowful mist shrouded the land, seemingly endless, unlike the bright sunlight behind the shuttle, which made it feel like another world. Standing on the suspended flying shuttle, he could occasionally hear eerie and terrifying howls coming from within the mist. This scene looked so familiar; it couldn't be anything but the Demon Ghost Domain.
"We've ventured into the outer reaches of the Demon Ghost Domain before, but we dared not go any deeper. We've heard that the top three sects of the Righteous and Demonic paths send disciples to the Demon Ghost Domain for a competition every few years. We don't know if it's true or not, but we always feel something is off. However, it's really not a good place to come and investigate. You've been to Fu Xian Island, so you should know something about it," Wu Sihai asked.
"What a load of rubbish." Yue Qianchou sneered as he gazed ahead, discerning the direction of their journey. "It's just a nice-sounding excuse. The top three sects of the righteous and demonic paths send their disciples here for training, using the Demon Ghost Domain to temper them. Originally, each sect could train independently, but this place is too dangerous. Even if weaker sects joined together, the more people they brought, the more demons and monsters they would attract, making things even more dangerous. But even Fu Xian Island couldn't handle going it alone, so the three most powerful sects of the righteous and demonic paths came together, coming every few years, and even making up a lie to deceive Righteous and Demonic paths. However, they encountered some trouble last time they came here, so I'm afraid they won't dare to come again."
He was no longer a disciple of Fu Xian Island, and besides, he was actually hoping for more trouble Righteous and Demonic paths, so there was no need for him to hide it. Yue Qianchou turned around and smiled at the four of them, "Do you know what trouble the six major sects of the righteous and demonic paths are facing?"
The four shook their heads, not knowing. He stared at them and chuckled, "They were dealt with by one person here. Five elders and ten senior members of Fu Xian Island were injured. Do you know who injured them? It was none other than the person you are looking for."
"Ah!" The four of them exclaimed in unison, with Bi Shouzhi trembling with excitement as he asked, "Is the person you're talking about our ancestor?"
"That's right!" Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "It was indeed your ancestor Bi Changchun. Your ancestor was quite remarkable! Tsk tsk! His cultivation level was simply beyond words."
Upon hearing this, the four of them began to breathe rapidly, their eyes fixed on the front, already showing signs of impatience.
"The flying shuttle can't fly too low. Try to fly as high as possible, otherwise it will be easy to be attacked." Yue Qianchou raised his hand and pointed to the left, saying, "That's the direction. Fly as fast as you can, and soon you will see a tall mountain that pierces the clouds. That is 'Cloud Sky Peak'. We will land on the top of the mountain."
"Understood!" Although old, Jing Feihong could not hide his excitement. The flying shuttle quickly soared into the sky, then accelerated sharply, transforming into a streak of light and flying rapidly in the direction Yue Qianchou pointed.
About an hour later, a towering mountain peak appeared ahead. The four exchanged glances and Yue Qianchou was indeed telling the truth. The flying shuttle sped forward and soon came to rest on the mountaintop, slowly descending.
"Get down! The only way to go deeper is on foot, otherwise, the sudden dangers are hard to guard against." Yue Qianchou said, jumping down first, and the others followed. Jing Feihong put away his flying magic Law Artifact.
Yue Qianchou looked around, recognizing the direction they had taken when they descended the mountain last time. He waved and led the group around. To their surprise, when they reached the other side of the mountain, the five of them froze, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Under the bright sunlight on the mountaintop, a Green Vine Soft Sedan stood there. The chair, which should have been draped with light gauze, was instead pulled up. A refined-looking man leaned against the chair, engrossed in a book in the sunlight. Not far from the chair stood four burly men, who, judging by their attire, appeared to be the scholar's servants. The four men stared expressionlessly at the newcomers.
The group was taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances. It was almost unbelievable that someone would study in such a place. Wu Sihai and the other three all turned their gazes to Yue Qianchou, wondering if he knew him.
Yue Qianchou hadn't seen this person before. It was unlikely someone could be so carefree in a place like this; such a place wasn't easily accessible to the average person. His mind raced, and after some analysis, he began to suspect who this person was, but he wasn't certain. After all, anything could happen in this place.
The man in the Green Vine Soft Sedan seemed unaware of their arrival. He quietly finished reading the book in his hand, elegantly turned a page, then held the book in his hand, stood up, squinted at the sunlight, stretched, and turned to the group with a gentle smile, saying, "It's rare for the Demon Ghost Domain to have distinguished guests. I didn't expect to run into them today."
