A Strange Person

But judging from this person's demeanor, Sun Yigao felt that this person was not an ordinary tourist.

This person walks steadily, has a solid lower body, and his breathing is very steady and powerful.

In his spare time, Mo Yuanjiao taught the Lingxian Sect members how to distinguish between ordinary people, martial artists, and those with high martial prowess.

Therefore, Sun Yigao could tell at a glance that this person must possess formidable martial arts skills.

Moreover, judging from his walking posture, he is definitely not a self-taught individual.

Most importantly, this person actually possessed cultivation.

Although it's only at the Qi Refining First Layer.

Because he sensed the man's strangeness, his Divine Sense followed him without leaving.

Then I saw that person stop in front of the Heart-Questioning Road, looking as if he was Heart-Questioning Road the beautiful scenery.

After the few tourists around him left, he stepped into the Heart-Questioning Road.

In recent days, the Heart-Questioning Road has never harmed anyone; it merely traps people within it, allowing them to experience a completely selfless and incredibly real dream.

So gradually, some people dared to step inside.

However, so far, none of those who went in, except those who were pushed out by the Heart-Questioning Road, have chosen to go up the mountain.

They considered this disrespectful to the immortal sects.

They all felt that having such a real dream was already a blessing from the gods.

We must not go up the mountain and disturb the immortals.

However, Sun Yigao estimates that if this person passes the Heart-Questioning Road, he will likely go directly up the mountain.

After a moment's thought, he cast a Eye-Obscuring Law on the students sitting below him, then took out a Location Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message to Liu Yunan.

He then made no other move, only diverting a wisp of his Divine Sense to observe the person's movements, before turning his attention back to the lesson.

Liu Yunan, who was cultivating in the cultivation room on the mountain, received Sun Yigao's telepathic message and simply ran to the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree at the entrance of the mountain path and sat down to meditate.

He continued his cultivation while waiting to see if that person would come up the mountain.

He sat there until the afternoon.

Wei San was a member of the personal guard of the emperor of the Pusi Kingdom.

I've come here on orders to investigate the immortal sects in Xiushui Village.

He had already gathered a lot of information about this Heart-Questioning Road and had a fairly good understanding of Heart-Questioning Road.

Knowing that passing the test of the Heart-Questioning Road would grant him unimpeded access to this mountain path, he decided to personally experience it.

However, he never expected that this Heart-Questioning Road would be so real, unearthing his deepest nightmares and constantly shaking his heart.

Of course, he only realized this after he regained consciousness.

In his dream, he completely forgot that he was in a dream, on a mountain path in Xiushui Village, and he also forgot the imperial decree he was carrying.

When he finally emerged from the dream and stood firmly on the Heart-Questioning Road, he was no longer pushed away.

Looking at the dreamlike mountain road before him and gazing up at the towering, continuous mountains ahead, he felt a deep sense of awe.

For a moment, he almost hesitated, wondering if he should offend the immortal.

However, his long-held belief in the necessity of obeying the emperor's orders eventually overcame his awe, and he resolutely embarked on the journey up the mountain.

As he reached the entrance to the mountain path, and just as he saw the flat land in front of him, the ancient and sturdy peach trees, and the thatched roof not far away, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"This is the sacred ground of the Lingxian Sect. You mortals, retreat at once!"

Hearing the voice suddenly explode in his mind, Wei San wasn't surprised. After all, he had been on the Heart-Questioning Road for so long, and the sun was already starting to set.

Yet, a sense of unease still lingered in my heart.

There really are immortals here!

When the emperor first learned that there might be a new immortal sect here, he was not very convinced and thought that there were traces of immortals left behind here.

But I'm not sure.

What if what the magistrate of Anqun County said is true?

That's why I was sent here to investigate secretly.

Thinking of this, his unwavering mission suppressed his fear. After taking a deep breath, he bowed respectfully to the empty space ahead and said:

"Please forgive me, Immortal. My name is Wei San, and I am a member of His Majesty's personal guard. I have come here on imperial orders because I have important matters to discuss with you."

At this moment, Liu Yunan was hiding in the shadows, secretly observing this person while holding Xiaoluan in one arm and Big Peach in the other.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, and instead said that he was on the emperor's orders to discuss important matters with him, Liu Yunan pondered for a moment, then put down Xiaoluan and Big Peach, signaling them to run a little further away to play by himself.

Then he used the Cloud Soaring Technique to float out from the shadows.

However, for Wei San, because Liu Yunan had been using Concealment Technique, his appearance was as if he had appeared out of thin air.

And this young man even floated to the ground...

For a moment, Wei San became even more cautious.

Liu Yunan didn't lead the person into the sect; instead, he stood like a gatekeeper in front of Wei San, feigning aloofness as he asked:

What is it?

Wei San then pulled out a scroll from his bosom and respectfully bowed his head to hand it to Liu Yunan.

"This was written by His Majesty himself; please, Immortal, take a look."

Seeing this, Liu Yunan thought for a moment, but instead of reaching out, he used the Object Control Technique he had practiced repeatedly for efficient seed planting to take the scroll out of thin air.

He took the scroll and put it into his Storage Bag, then said to Wei San:

"I'll take a look at this. You can go back now."

Seeing that he did not immediately turn the page, Wei San hesitated:

"Immortal, what about this reply...?"

Liu Yunan raised his hand and waved to him:

"Go to the tree in front of the village three days later, and you will receive a reply."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei San felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over him, and then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Having just finished using Hypnosis Technique, Liu Yunan looked at the person lying on the ground and sighed silently.

He then rolled up his sleeves, hoisted the man onto his shoulder, and carried him down the mountain.

It wasn't until late at night that Wei San woke up in a tall patch of grass at the entrance of Xiushui Village.

Seeing the bright moonlight overhead and recalling his previous memories, he suddenly couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.

So he raised his hand and pinched himself hard.

Feeling the pain in his hand, he still couldn't quite believe it.

After all, during that Heart-Questioning Road, he had cut himself many times, his whole body aching, yet he still thought it was reality, showing no signs of lucidity whatsoever.

He felt as if he had only been in Xiushui Village for a day, but it felt like many years had passed.

He stood there stunned for a long time, then seemed to remember something and quickly touched his body.

He then realized that the scroll the emperor had given him was no longer on him, and Wei San returned to Emerald Peak Town in a daze under the moonlight.
