The Dagger Revealed

Zhang Xiaofan summoned a small flying ship. After Lu Cang and his daughter boarded, it slowly headed toward the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain.

Perhaps because they were still within the sect, the flying ship was not moving quickly—indeed, it was extremely slow, proceeding at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, Zhang Xiaofan encountered two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators he knew and even took the initiative to greet them.

When the flying ship reached the mountain gate, Zhang Xiaofan stopped it and took out a token. After activating the token, a gap opened in the formation barrier before the gate.

The flying ship passed through the gap and left the sect, arriving above the market town at the foot of the mountain.

Just then, a figure flew through the air toward the mountain gate.

The newcomer was a burly male cultivator. Seeing Zhang Xiaofan standing at the bow, he took the initiative to greet him.

"Elder Mortal Dust... Eh, Elder Lu and niece are here too. The three of you are going out together—where are you headed?"

"Greetings, Elder Zhou." Zhang Xiaofan cupped his hands and casually replied, "Chan encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation recently, so Master and I are accompanying her out for a stroll."

"Elder Lu, your family is truly harmonious. It is quite enviable."

After saying this, Elder Zhou cupped his hands and flew toward the mountain gate.

Lu Cang glanced at Elder Zhou's departing back and said coldly.

"Xiaofan, stop dawdling. Sail at full speed," Lu Cang said.

"Yes."

Zhang Xiaofan's flying ship stopped outside the valley where he had arranged to meet Song Wen.

Lu Cang summoned a late third-tier Ghost King.
