“This…” Xie Yujia tensed up immediately.
“I’ll just go there and have a look. Little White flies fast, and I’ll be fine,” Hao Ren said.
“Then… I’ll go with you!” Xie Yujia said after a moment of consideration.
Ruff… Little White jumped around Hao Ren’s feet.
Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds. He told Xie Yujia his plan, so she would know where he was trapped if he couldn’t make it back.
However, he didn’t plan to take her with him.
“If we are just there to take a look, I don’t think anything will happen to us,” Xie Yujia said.
She was afraid that Hao Ren would venture deep into the Kunlun Mountain and get into danger. If she went with him, she could stop him when necessary.
“Ok! Then, we should go now so that we can make it back early.” Hao Ren clutched Little White’s ears.
Bam! Little White turned into a magnificent snow lion, and the golden fur on its four legs emitted radiant light.
After Hao Ren and Xie Yujia got up on its back, Little White shot up with colorful light beneath its paws.
Hao Ren and Su Han went to the Sky Mountain in the northwest to collect snow lotuses, and they had passed by the Kunlun Mountain. Therefore, Hao Ren had a vague impression of Kunlun’s general direction.
They flew in the clouds on Second Heaven, and Hao Ren created an energy sphere to block the tiny raindrops.
Sitting behind Hao Ren with her hands around Hao Ren’s waist and her face against his back, Xie Yujia looked at the small and dense raindrops flying around them and felt somewhat melancholy.
“I live in Kunlun, and I see immortals. They left for the heaven, and I missed the opportunity to follow them,” Thinking of this poem by Cao Cao, Xie Yujia tightened her arms subconsciously.
Sitting before her while steering Little White, Hao Ren suddenly felt Xie Yujia’s arms tighten around his waist. Thinking that she was cold, he pressed his hands on hers and injected some fire-elemental nature essence into her body.
This simple gesture showed Xie Yujia that Hao Ren did care for her. Secretly scolding herself for being too sensitive and melancholy, she dozed off on Hao Ren’s wide back.
She didn’t sleep last night since she studied the rare technique for growing Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.
“This is Kunlun, a restricted zone. Any trespasser will be killed!”
Suddenly, a loud shout startled Xie Yujia from her warm dream.
Meanwhile, dozens of flying swords shot toward Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was only at Gen-level which was a little above the Core Formation Realm, so he didn’t have a chance to explain himself.
Not expecting that he would be attacked suddenly while he was only meters into Kunlun’s territory, Hao Ren was alarmed and immediately released hundreds of sword energies, blocking the flying swords.
As soon as his sword energies met these flying swords, he was able to tell that the people who attacked him were all at Core Formation Realm.
The flying swords retreated half a meter before attacking him again.
Last time when Su Han passed this place, she released the aura of a top-tier Qian-level cultivator. Sensing her aura and seeing her inspector’s token, the patrolling human cultivators had no choice but to let her pass.
However, Hao Ren who tried to break into the Kunlun Mountain was only at Gen-level. Therefore, they wouldn’t let him pass!
Forming an Eight Trigram Array Formation, the flying swords swirled toward Hao Ren, intending to destroy him.
“Two Dragons Array Formation!” Hao Ren’s sword energies formed two light beams that were entangling with each other, and they rushed into the center of the Eight Trigram before exploding and scattering the flying swords.
Afraid that Hao Ren would lose in the fight with his rivals, Xie Yujia released a big silver note!
The golden one was Life Note, and the silver one was Death Note.
Nature Five-Elemental Life-Death Notes!
Suppressed by the huge note which was at least one meter long, the cultivators who were hiding in the clouds screamed and tumbled down into the mountain.
The Life-Death Notes Xie Yujia got from old Grandma had the power of Nascent Soul Realm!
Soon, dozens of more light beams shot toward Hao Ren.
“This is no good…” Hao Ren only planned to have a look around the outer edge of Kunlun and didn’t expect to be attacked the moment they stepped within the range of the mountain. If the situation continued, they would be in big trouble.
He kicked lightly on Little White’s belly.
Knowing they needed to retreat, Little White emitted colorful light from its paws while it immediately ran out of Kunlun’s range.
“Hit and run? Are you here to mess with us?!”
A thunder-like voice sounded from the depth of Kunlun.
In the air before Hao Ren, a huge pale silver palm suddenly appeared and scooped toward Little White.
Hua… 320 sword energies stabbed into the vague palm and disappeared. Xie Yujia hurriedly launched a huge silver note, but it only created ripples when it hit the palm.
“Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll… A weird technique to cultivate… Five-element Life-Death Notes…”
From the depth of the mountain, that voice muttered while the palm in the sky crashed toward them like a huge mountain or a tsunami. The palm engulfed Little White while the fingertips caught Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.
At this moment, the dozens of light beams finally reached Hao Ren’s side and surrounded them.
Now, Hao Ren found out that the patrolling cultivators were all young girls in green robes of almost the same age!
They glared at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia while the longswords in their hands shook slightly as if they were going to kill these two despicable trespassers of Kunlun.
The cultivators who had been struck down to the valley by Xie Yujia’s attack flew up one by one and joined their team. They were also young girls wearing green robes.
“Snow lion… The Sky Mountain Sect? No, no, the young man has a dragon core in his body, and more strangely, he has 1,000-year cultivation strength stored in him. He’s also an inspector from the Dragon God Shrine. It’s not a good idea to kill him…”
That voice in the depth of the mountain was still murmuring to himself.
In the grip of the vague palm, Hao Ren was panting but couldn’t move a muscle. He looked at Xie Yujia and saw that she wasn’t doing any better.
“Huh? The mark on this girl’s left shoulder…” The palm that was gripping them suddenly loosened a little, and the voice from the depth of the mountain turned serious. “Girl, who is your master?”
“My master…” Suddenly remembering that old Grandma told her to give out her name when in danger, Xie Yujia said, “My master is Qingfeng Hermit!!”
“Oh? The disciple of Qingfeng on First Heaven? I’ll be in trouble if I mess with this crazy and over-protective old woman…”
The voice in the depth of the mountain muttered again.
With the suppression on his body reduced, Hao Ren found the old eccentric man in the depth of the mountain was a rattle box. “Ok. I won’t punish you two kids. But if you dare to trespass my Kunlun Mountain in the future, I’ll do more than a spanking!”
The huge palm suddenly opened, and it flicked its finger onto Little White’s butt.
With an “Ouch”, Little White flew out more than ten meters with a wronged expression and tears in its eyes, wondering why it got the spanking while it was Hao Ren who had tried to break into Kunlun Mountain. However, knowing they couldn’t stay here any longer, Little White bore the acute pain in its rump and fled swiftly with colorful lights on its paws.
Before they could rush out of the boundary of Kunlun Mountain, the huge palm suddenly caught up and blocked Little White.
With four paws swimming frantically in the sky, Little White just couldn’t get out.
“Why did you come to Kunlun?” The voice in the depth of the mountain suddenly asked.
“We came to look for Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses,” Hao Ren said.
The voice was silent for a few seconds. “I don’t have any Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus. The last one was given to the Dragon God Palace dozens of years ago.”
He continued, “You are both in luck and out of luck since I just came out of seclusion this month. Girl, what do you want?”
“I want…” Xie Yujia thought for a while. “10,000-year-old Black Herb, 10,000-year-old Green Wood, 10,000-year-old Iron Essence Flowers, 10,000-year-old Soul Grass, 10,000-year-old Golden Hammer, 10,000-year-old Daphne, and Ten-thousand Bronze Drum Skin. If you have 10,000-year-old Seven-Color Snow Lotus, it would be great.”
“Well, well. I got a toothache… I wonder why old Qingfeng took such a greedy disciple. You want eight out of ten best elixir making materials in the world. I have lots of female disciples but don’t have many herbs. Ok, I’ll give you three kinds!”
Three boxes suddenly flew from the center of Kunlun.
Sitting on Little White’s back, Xie Yujia immediately caught them. When she opened the boxes, she saw ten pieces of 10,000-year-old Colorful Snow Lotuses, three pieces of 10,000-year-old Green Wood, and five blocks of 10,000-year-old Daphne!
Having some knowledge about spiritual herbs, Xie Yujia was happy to see these herbs.
“I hope these gifts will stop you from telling your master tales about my hurting you with my pinch! If you dare to venture into Kunlun in the future, I won’t be so merciful!”
The pale silver palm turned into a gale which sent Little White flying for one thousand meters.
Little White tumbled several times while Hao Ren and Xie Yujia had to clutch tightly on its fur to stay on its back.
When they looked back, there was no trace of Kunlun.
The cultivator living in the depth of Kunlun Mountain was obviously a peer of old Grandma and thus was someone Hao Ren and Xie Yujia couldn’t mess with. However, he seemed to fear Xie Yujia’s master.
Otherwise, he could have kicked them out without giving Xie Yujia spiritual herbs on the condition that she wouldn’t tell old Grandma about this incident.
Xie Yujia rubbed her shoulder. Despite the pain inflicted by the palm in the sky, she was pleased to receive three kinds of rare spiritual herbs.
“We got unexpected gifts, but we can’t go to Kunlun anymore,” placing the three boxes into her bracelets, she said to Hao Ren with a smile.
From her perspective, the final warning of the Soul Formation Realm cultivator was very harsh, and they shouldn’t take such risks again.
Hao Ren nodded, regretting that he had put Xie Yujia in danger by bringing her here. However, from this incident, he found his identity as an inspector of the Dragon God Shrine as quite useful.
They were simple-minded and didn’t know that the old eccentric Soul Formation Realm cultivator in Kunlun spoke those last vicious words to prevent them from blackmailing him in the future after receiving gifts from him.
The name of Qingfeng Hermit was quite notorious for her fierceness in the circle of Soul Formation Realm cultivators. On the one hand, Qingfeng Hermit’s Life-Death Notes were powerful, and any sane cultivators of Soul Formation Realm didn’t dare to fight her head-on.
On the other hand, Qingfeng was known for her over-protectiveness of her disciples, and anyone that messed with her disciples would receive great retaliation.
“Let’s head back!” Hao Ren lightly rubbed Xie Yujia’s sore shoulder and steered Little White toward the direction of East Ocean.
