An Unwelcome Guest at the Door

The Demon Realm, on Sky Lake Mountain.

A furious roar rang out, "Who is it?"

Then a bell rang from the mountaintop, and an invisible force swept across the entire Sky Fox Mountain.

Then a White Demon Fox leaped into the air, its six Fox Tail stirring up wind and clouds, its fierce aura soaring into the sky, wantonly proclaiming its powerful presence to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Blood-red eyes scanned the entire mountain range, penetrating the whole Heaven and Earth.

An invisible Array Formation barrier covered an area of Three Thousand Li, isolating the inside from the outside.

But no matter how she used her Spell Art, she couldn't sense her daughter's presence.

"Who on earth dares to act so presumptuously at my Sky Fox Mountain!"

Her voice was shrill, and all the non- Fox Tribe who heard it showed signs of pain. Then, she stirred her Fox Tail, and countless hairs turned into Sharp Needles that pierced the bodies of some people with strange behavior. These people immediately fell to the ground and struggled in pain, and then white foxes surrounded them.

Six thousand miles away, a tiger-headed, human-bodied Demon Beast stood atop a mountain, sneering, "That Old Demoness of the Fox Tribe has gone mad again. I wonder who offended her."

Gu Yuanqing walked a few steps from the edge of the Cliff to the Front Mountain, quietly waiting for the two from the Lingxu Sect to arrive.

More than ten miles away.

Ji Qingyun and Kuang Tongyi walked gracefully above the treetops, each step covering more than thirty zhang.

Suddenly, Ji Qingyun said, "That one in the Mountain already knows we're here. His cultivation is indeed quite high. No wonder he was able to kill Yue Hong and Feng Zhong and take away the Hun Tian Rope."

Kuang Tongyi said, "Ancestor, judging from his character, he is indeed not a bad person. Even when I came to his door, he did not make things difficult for me. However, with such cultivation at such a young age, he is bound to be arrogant. Elder Feng is probably because of this that he became enemies with him and ended up in this situation today."

Ji Qingyun glanced at Kuang Tongyi and said, "This is the second time you've spoken up for him since we came here. It seems you do have a good impression of him."

Kuang Tongyi smiled wryly and said, "Grandmaster, please don't be Tongyi. When I fought him, I said that if I lost, I would not pursue the matter further. On the day I fought him, he went outside the mountain and did not take advantage of the Mountain. He was quite upright."

Ji Qingyun said calmly, "We'll discuss the specifics later."

Before long, the two arrived at the foot of North Spring Mountain.

When Ji Qingyun looked at North Spring Mountain, his pupils narrowed slightly. His cultivation and knowledge were naturally far Kuang Tongyi's, and he could tell at a glance that this mountain was extraordinary.

His Divine Sense was completely unable to detect Motion and Stillness within the mountain. This kind of Grand Formation could be called Sect's Mountain Protecting Great Formation, and even the Array Formation within Lingxiao Mountain could not compare to it.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi Outer Realm is almost comparable to that in Lingxiao Mountain, clearly originating from the Mountain itself. This gives us an idea of how dense the Spiritual Qi is in the Mountain.

However, this is the Floating World, known for its scarcity of Spiritual Qi. How could such Spirit Mountain possibly exist here?

Ji Qingyun frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Kuang Tongyi naturally noticed the difference in Spiritual Qi outside the mountain. At the same time, he had visited North Spring Mountain not long ago, and upon seeing it again, he was astonished.

"Tongyi, you also sensed that this mountain is unusual, even eerie?"

Kuang Tongyi looked at Ji Qingyun, his face still showing disbelief. "Ancestor, when I came here last time, the Spiritual Qi outside the mountain was completely incomparable to what it is now. Moreover, the appearance of North Spring Mountain is also different from what it is now. The mountain seems to have grown much taller!"

Ji Qingyun naturally believed what Kuang Tongyi said. A Dao Fire Realm Cultivator wouldn't be mistaken. He murmured, "He's grown taller? That's indeed strange. The Spiritual Qi in this Mountain is probably not much different from that of the Spirit Mountain in the Upper Realm."

"Who are you? This is a Forbidden Ground of Great Qian Dynasty. Leave at once!" A group of the Imperial Guard Army guards rushed over and shouted in a deep voice when they saw people coming.

Before Ji Qingyun and Kuang Tongyi could speak, a sharp-eyed Soldiers recognized Kuang Tongyi at a glance. He tugged at the sleeve of the leader in front of him and whispered, "Deputy Commander, doesn't this look somewhat like the Lingxu Sect who fought against Young Master Gu a few months ago...?"

The leading Imperial Guard general's expression changed. Upon closer inspection, he recognized him and forced a smile, cupping his hands in greeting, "So you are a senior expert from the Lingxu Sect. I apologize for my rudeness; I will not delay your important business any longer."

As he spoke, he gave his subordinates meaningful glances and backed away before hurriedly turning and leaving.

This place is indeed Forbidden Ground, but it depends on who you're dealing with!

Faced with such a master, even if all the Imperial Guard rushed forward, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow; they would only be throwing their lives away.

Ji Qingyun and Kuang Tongyi naturally wouldn't make things difficult for these Ordinary Person, but Ji Qingyun glanced at them a couple more times.

"These Soldiers have all been nourished by Spiritual Qi. It seems that the Spiritual Qi here has become so dense not just in the last day or two. How could such Spirit Mountain appear in the Floating World? Could it be...?"

Ji Qingyun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming with a dark light. He had activated his Pupil Technique, hoping to use it to explore the mysteries of the Mountain. However, no matter what he did, all he could see was mist. In fact, even with his Pupil Technique, it was not as clear as what he could see with his naked eye.

Kuang Tongyi solemn as he said, "Ancestor, are you saying that the changes in this mountain are related to the recent upheavals in the Floating World?"

Ji Qingyun nodded. "I was just guessing."

He then sensed someone watching him, and looked up towards a spot in the mountains. "Daoist Friend, since you've noticed our arrival, why not show yourself and have a chat?"

Gu Yuanqing leaped to the treetop, his gaze falling on the two. He knew Kuang Tongyi well enough to not need to look at him much, but the other person seemed to be in an independent space. Even with Mountain Observation, he could not see through his strength. He could only vaguely sense the enormous aura contained within his body, which was far beyond that of the Dao Fire Realm Cultivator. He was somewhat similar to Li Miaoxuan, whom he had last seen.

"Daoist Friend, we meet again. And this Daoist Friend, you two have come to North Spring Mountain to find me. You're not here to seek revenge again, are you?" Gu Yuanqing's words were indifferent, and he had a very bad feeling about the Lingxu Sect. When he first came up the mountain, people from the Lingxu Sect came to kill him, and now they have come to his door four times in a row.

Kuang Tongyi's face flushed slightly. He had promised to settle his score with Gu Yuanqing in a battle, but he hadn't kept his word, which was a breach of promise. He awkwardly cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Friend, this is indeed the Supreme Elder of my Lingxu Sect. He has come here to Daoist Friend on some matters."

He didn't say much; since Ji Qingyun had come in person, these matters were no longer up to him to decide.

Ji Qingyun stepped forward and said, "My Daoist Friend is Ji Qingyun. You may or may not have heard of me, but that doesn't matter. I've come here to have a chat with Daoist Friend. Would Daoist Friend to come down the mountain for a discussion?"

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "I think there's no need for that. If it's a friend, it's fine for me to come down the mountain. But if it's an enemy, why bother? Besides, you are a senior expert with extraordinary strength. I, Gu Yuanqing, am just a newcomer who hasn't been cultivating for long. I'm afraid that once I leave the mountain, I won't be able to come back."

Ji Qingyun smiled and said, "Daoist Friend, you are overthinking it. I am not that kind of person, and I would never stoop to such a despicable act."

Gu Yuanqing said with a half-smile, "Then why don't you come up the mountain for a chat? I, Gu Yuanqing, don't consider myself a despicable person."
