White Cloud Mountain Range

"White Cloud Mountain Range?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this name, then their expressions changed to understanding. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

The White Cloud Mountain Range are a famous place in Central Plains, with a large number of high mountains. For some reason, the fog there is extremely thick, obscuring the sky and the sun.

If one wanders around aimlessly, one will only get lost. Moreover, there are many powerful magical Magical Beast in the mountains, which would be quite troublesome to deal with. The Hall of Souls chose to establish Branch Hall in this place, probably because of its seclusion.

"How many powerful figures are there in that Hall of Souls Branch? How many Dou Zun are there?"

An elderly man named Overturning Sea Venerable asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Upon hearing Overturning Sea Venerable's question, the others' expressions turned serious. This was the most important thing. If they couldn't even detect the enemy's defensive capabilities, rushing in recklessly would be like walking into a trap.

"According to our Pill Tower's intelligence, there should be five Venerable Elders," Elder Shangguan chimed in.

Five?

The group glanced around at the other people; weren't there just as many of them?

The Hall of Souls's move is too extravagant. To guard just one Branch Hall, they have sent out five Dou Zun. Such a lineup is enough to wipe out a first-rate force.

Despite this, no one wanted to quit.

After all, although Xiao Ming, who was leading the team, did not explicitly state his specific strength, his Aura indicated that he was a powerhouse of at least Six-Star.

This level of strength is considered Heavenly Venerable in the Hall of Souls, requiring several low-level Dou Zun to contend with. Their average strength is also at Three-star Dou Zun, so they still have a very significant advantage.

However, to have such a high level of skill at such a young age is truly monstrous!

Looking at Xiao Ming, who wore a faint smile and exuded the air of a master, making people subconsciously forget his age, everyone couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion. They wouldn't really forget that Xiao Ming was only twenty years old.

"According to the intelligence, in addition to these five Dou Zun, the Branch Hall also has some Hall of Souls Protector, and their combined combat power is not weak..." Shangguan Cuo continued to explain.

"Those guardians are no problem; I'll deal with them. The task of rescuing the souls of our Pill Tower Alchemist is entrusted to you elders."

Xiao Ming chuckled and addressed the Nine-star Dou Zong beings, explaining that these were the people who, as Dou Zun level experts, were holding back the Hall of Souls experts and collecting their Soul Body. As far as Xiao Ming knew, these people also possessed a combined force formation.

Upon hearing this, the elders all nodded in agreement, for this was indeed their task.

And so, the plan to attack the Hall of Souls was simply finalized.

Xiao Ming returned to the giant python's head, with Shangguan Cuo following behind him, handing him a Purple Jade Invitation.

"What is this?" Xiao Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This is an invitation from Sound Valley." Shangguan Cuo gestured for Xiao Ming to accept it before continuing.

"The Sound Valley Valley Master once visited you at the Pill Tower, but upon discovering you were not there, he handed the item over to the Great Elder. This morning, the Great Elder asked me to pass it on to you again."

"The Sound Valley Valley Master? Qing Yi?"

Xiao Ming recalled the beautiful woman in palace attire he had seen in the Falling Thunder Mountain Range. He had a good impression of Qing Yi, the woman who had once helped him.

Sending out invitations, is it because of that promise?

Xiao Ming was puzzled. He opened the invitation, and after a moment, he closed it.

The invitation was indeed related to the previous agreement, but it didn't specify anything, only asking him to go to Sound Valley as soon as possible.

"Well, Sound Valley is located in the Northwest of Central Plains. After finishing this mission, I'll go to Sound Valley. After all, I received a deposit for a Di Rank Advanced Sound Wave Dou Technique from them." Xiao Ming thought to himself as he put the invitation into his Na Ring.

The White Cloud Mountain Range are located in the Northwest Region of Central Plains. There is an extremely dense natural fog here. The fog shrouds the mountains all year round. When you are deep in the fog, your soul perception will be affected. If you are reckless, you may be trapped and die in the mountains.

The White Cloud Mountain Range are not far from the Pill Region. At the speed of Tier Seven Four-winged Giant Python, it would take about seven days to reach them.

Driven by the giant python, on the afternoon of the seventh day, a group of towering mountain peaks appeared before Xiao Ming and his companions.

"Have we arrived...?"

Xiao Ming raised his head, trying to see the outline of the mountain range, but he couldn't see it clearly. Outside the mountain range, it was shrouded in a thick white fog.

Gazing at the somewhat mysterious mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist, Xiao Ming's face showed a hint of surprise, which quickly vanished. The White Cloud Mountain Range truly lived up to its reputation; however, this meant he couldn't simply fly in directly.

The fog outside is manageable, but it gets thicker the further in you go. If you lose your sense of direction, you'll get lost in it. There are also many strange Magical Beast in those fogs, making you vulnerable to attack.

Furthermore, the White Cloud Mountain Range contain Branch Hall of the Hall of Souls, and no one can guarantee what kind of defensive measures they might have. Attempting to break through from the air would make it easy to be discovered.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming waved his hand, and the giant python slowly descended towards a mountaintop outside the mountain range.

"We've arrived at the White Cloud Mountain Range. Elder Shangguan, go find a Magical Beast familiar with this place. The rest of you, get yourselves ready..." Xiao Ming instructed the group as they landed on the mountaintop.

Those present were all renowned experts from Central Plains, each with extensive experience. They understood what Xiao Ming wanted to do, nodded, and each found a place to adjust their state.

Shangguan Cuo then moved his body like a roc, gliding down from the mountaintop and then soaring into the vast forest shrouded in clouds and mist.

A moment later, Shangguan Cuo returned, dragging a white goose in his hand.

"Hmm, it's actually Seventh Tier Cloud Goose, and it hasn't even transformed yet. That's truly rare." The crowd gathered around, marveling at it. Generally, once a Magical Beast reaches the stage where it can transform, it will choose to do so.

"Cloud Goose can hide their forms in the clouds and mist. I found this Cloud Goose by chance; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to spot it," Shangguan Cuo explained to everyone.

"My lords, spare my life! I'm willing to give up everything I own..." Cloud Goose said fearfully, surrounded by people. It felt extremely unlucky. It never expected to be captured by such terrifying human experts as soon as it stepped out of the house. It couldn't escape, as the Aura of everyone here was stronger than its own.

Damn it, he never found himself in such a predicament in the White Cloud Mountain Range before, relying on his hidden talent!

"Do you know the location of the Hall of Souls here?" Xiao Ming asked without wasting words as he walked up to Cloud Goose.

"I know, I know! Sit on my back, I'll take you there!"

Cloud Goose nodded repeatedly, afraid that Xiao Ming would think he was useless and that he would kill it with a slap, which would be a huge loss. Besides, it did know the location of that place. It had once relied on its ability to hide in the clouds and mist to get a glimpse of it from afar.

"Alright, once you've led us there, you'll be free," Xiao Ming said with a smile, then had the group climb onto Cloud Goose's back.

Cloud Goose was not lying. A dozen minutes later, Xiao Ming and the others saw the location of the Hall of Souls Branch.

It was an extremely high mountain peak. At the base of the peak, there was a recessed area where a massive black palace, hundreds of feet in size, was perfectly embedded, exuding a chilling and terrifying Aura.

"So... this is the Hall of Souls...?"

Gazing at the buildings nestled in the mountainside, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, hovering in mid-air, and waved for Cloud Goose to leave.

Fearing being silenced, Cloud Goose saw Xiao Ming's gesture and disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one cared; they were just strangers who had met by chance.
