The next day.
Chongming Sect.
Fine rain drifted down beneath a low, gloomy sky.
The towering, solemn mountain gate rose into the void, surrounded by an endless, boundless Sea of Clouds. Golden runes flickered faintly as Escape Lights constantly darted in and out, tearing through the curtain of rain. Amid the patter of raindrops, all things rustled softly.
Whoosh!
A large flying vessel appeared on the distant horizon. In the blink of an eye, it smashed through the astral winds, shot a thousand miles, and passed unimpeded through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin-Yang Separation and Reunion Pagoda Formation, entering Chongming Sect.
Endless white clouds surged like tides, churning and roiling. Through the shifting Sea of Clouds, peaks floated in a starry array, rising and falling amid layered green forests. Waterfalls hung from cliffs, and streams ran over the rock faces. The mountains stretched into the distance, vast and boundless.
The flying vessel gradually came to a stop among the peaks.
Inside the top-floor cabin, Pei Ling sat alone in the seat of honor. A specially made Sound Transmission Talisman floated before him.
He said casually, "Senior Sister, I'm back at the sect. I'll come see you right away."
Li Lieyue's voice immediately rang out from the talisman. "All right."
After ending the transmission with Senior Sister Li, Pei Ling put away the talisman. He was about to tell Shi Nanzi to pilot the vessel to Cui Lei Mountain while he went alone to Chao Na Temporary Palace, when a voice filled with amusement suddenly sounded in his ear. "Pei Ling, come to Heavenly Vast Palace!"
Heavenly Vast Palace?
Pei Ling frowned. This was Li Clan Old Ancestor calling him to Heavenly Vast Palace. There was probably something important.
But he had just promised to visit Senior Sister Li...
