The entire mountain peak presents a deep indigo color, with rock layers as steep as if cut by knives and axes, standing tall as if they lead directly to the heavens.
Over a hundred pavilions are built against the mountain, layered and endless, with upturned eaves piercing through the flowing clouds. The concealed 螭吻 lurking in the mist adds a touch of grandeur!
Right in the center is a massive mountain gate built from white stone, with a character "武" carved on the ten-zhang-high lintel.
The strokes are as if drawn by silver hooks and iron paint, penetrating three inches into the stone.
Even with Chen Mo's current cultivation, staring at it for a long time made his eyes feel slightly painful.
Swoosh—
A sound of something breaking through the air was heard, and a man in a green martial robe leaped over.
He landed in front of Chen Mo, looked him up and down, clasped his hands, and said, "I am Chai Haochuan, an inner sect steward of Martial Saint Mountain. May I ask the purpose of your visit?"
Being able to open the mountain gate was enough to indicate that the other party had an extraordinary identity.
Moreover, although the person in front of him looked young, his aura was restrained, so much so that it was impossible to discern his background, making it difficult to underestimate him.
"I am Chen Mo, here to find someone..." Chen Mo clasped his hands in return.
"Find someone?"
Seeing the bronze compass in his hand, Chai Haochuan's pupils slightly contracted.
This was a token only imparted by the sect leader!
Could it be that the sect leader, having taken a liking to a talent again, took in another student outside?
"So it's Brother Chen." Chai Haochuan's expression became even more respectful, extending his hand, "Please follow me."
"Thank you for your trouble." Chen Mo slightly nodded.
Inwardly thinking, this person keeps calling me brother, quite politely, it seems not everyone in Martial Saint Mountain is like Zi Lianji who likes to show off.
The two of them entered the mountain gate, and as the mist spread out, it obscured the scene inside, returning the whole mountain peak to its ordinary appearance.
About half an incense stick of time later.
Above the clouds, the void trembled, and two figures suddenly appeared.
One wore a bright red daoist robe with golden cloud patterns embroidered at the hem, and her black hair was casually tied with a silk ribbon. Her face was fair and translucent, with slightly upturned willow-leaf eyes carrying a mix of coldness, allure, and charm.
Beside her was a woman in a moon-white daoist robe, cross-collared and neatly arranged, fastened with a sheep jade hairpin. Her gestures exuded an ephemeral and transcendent aura, resembling a fairy untouched by the mortal world.
"Master, why did you bring me all the way from the Capital City to here?" Ling Ningzhi asked with a face full of confusion.
"Recently, there have been frequent anomalies in Qing Province, likely due to a secret realm about to open, and its scale is expected to be significant." Ji Hongxiu said lazily, "I've calculated that the opportunity to extend Ling Yishan's life might also lie within it..."
"Really?!" Ling Ningzhi's eyes lit up.
Before going to the Southern Border, Chen Mo also told her that in a few days, a Taoist Collection would emerge in Qing Province, urging her to prepare in advance...
It seems like it's quite likely now!
"However, opportunities are often accompanied by risks, and there are too many forces concerned this time. What the situation inside will be is hard to say, so it's best to find an ally in advance."
"Coincidentally, Huo Wuya sent a message yesterday wanting to discuss this matter with me, so I brought you along."
At this point, Ji Hongxiu paused slightly, her eyes flickering, and asked, "Are you sure Chen Mo will come to find you then?"
"Yes, we've already arranged it." Ling Ningzhi nodded, "Once Mr. Chen finishes his official duties, he'll send a message to me, and we will meet in Qing Province."
"Hmm, I thought about it, and I just can't feel at ease, so I'll accompany you to Qing Province then." Ji Hongxiu said earnestly.
"Thank you, Master, you're really good to me~" Ling Ningzhi smiled brilliantly as she wrapped her arms around her.
"It's merely a small effort, something a master should do..."
Ji Hongxiu's eyes flickered, and she laughed with guilt.
Ever since Chen Mo entered the Dao, she hasn't dared to face her beloved disciple.
It's because the Dao Pattern is about to take effect, and after waiting and waiting without seeing Chen Mo coming to her, she couldn't hold back any longer and secretly slipped into the Capital City.
But she found out that Chen Mo went to the Southern Border on a case, not knowing when he'd return.
If she continued to stay in the Capital City waiting for him, she might get caught by Yu Youhan, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet Chen Mo, so she found an excuse to bring Ling Ningzhi out...
"The last meeting was the previous one, and the World Gate's cooldown period is long over. Is the Southern Border so busy that he doesn't even have time to send a message? He couldn't have forgotten about me, could he?"
"When I see that guy, I must give him a good interrogation!"
