C83 The Clouds Dispersed
Yun Mobing looked at Chen Yi and saw that he was already walking forward.
Chen Yi stepped on the stream. His feet landed on the surface of the stream, but he did not sink. It was as if he was walking on flat ground.
Yun Mobing's face was a little gloomy. Chen Yi could do such an unbelievable thing, but she was just an ordinary person.
Before Yun Mobing could open her mouth, she saw a golden magic power gathering into a rope in Chen Yi's palm and landing on her body.
With a slight cry of surprise, Yun Mobing was brought to the other side of the stream by the golden rope and landed steadily on the ground.
Before Yun Mobing could compose herself, she heard Chen Yi say, "Let's enter the mountain!"
Chen Yi calmly walked towards the mountain behind the stone tablet, shrouded in clouds.
...
In the Dragon Lake Mountain, there was a vast expanse of white mist.
The distance they could see was no more than ten meters. The further they went, the denser the mist became.
Liu Qingxue and the others gathered together. The leader was the old man with the plain white hair. He had a seal in his hand, and there was a faint purple light lingering in his hand.
"You can't be too far away from me. The Dragon Lake Mountain is always mysterious. My master, who passed away, once warned me that even if I am successful in cultivation, I must not enter the Dragon Lake lightly." The old man said slowly, "If I didn't owe the Chu Family a favor back then, I wouldn't have taken the risk to come here this time."
"Once you encounter danger, don't expect me to save you all too much."
The old man's words caused the expressions of Chu He and the others to change slightly. On the side, Huang Zongyu said with a faint smile, "Hee Feng, aren't you being too careful?"
"You are the current number one person in the Northern Sect. You cultivate in the art of the Inner Hidden Secret of the Mysterious Gate and are close to reaching the Xuan level. How can a mere Dragon Lake stop you?"
Hee Feng frowned slightly. He said lightly, "In the Dragon Lake Mountain, the clouds and mist do not disperse all year round. Do you think this is an ordinary matter?"
"When my master was alive, he once said that the Dragon Lake Mountain and Kunlun are forbidden grounds for the practitioners of Huaxia. They have the name of Immortal Mountain, Dragon Lake, and Divine Mountain."
"There have been many legends about Kunlun since ancient times. Many great gods have emerged one after another. There are incredible existences like Yao Chi and Wang-mu."
"But in Dragon Lake Mountain, apart from those rumors, have you ever heard of any of them?"
He wasn't careless. The purple light in his hand was dim, as if it was pointing in the direction.
"Furthermore, the Feng Shui here is complicated and confusing. I can't even see clearly one of them."
Hee Feng's words made Huang Zongyu frown. He didn't retort and silently followed Chu He.
The surroundings were shrouded in clouds. When he looked back, it was as if he couldn't find his way back.
The sudden appearance of Lin Ye in front of them gave everyone a fright. The rocks under their feet also appeared in an endless stream.
"Liu Qingxue, is there really a divine fruit that can save my grandfather here?" Chu He asked in a low voice from the side. He was also somewhat afraid of the silence in the surroundings.
"Master once said that there is indeed a divine tree in Dragon Lake Mountain. There are immortal fruits on the tree that can prolong one's life." Liu Qingxue said in a low voice. "Although Master is in seclusion now and I can't ask, with Master's identity, why would he say it casually?"
Only then did Chu He come to his senses and nod his head, not saying anything else.
The group of people walked extremely slowly. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, suddenly, the surrounding clouds seemed to have become lighter.
The area in front of them had also become slightly wider.
This scene attracted the attention of Huang Zongyu and Hee Feng.
Everyone walked up again, as if they had climbed more than ten meters. The scene in front of them stunned everyone.
They saw a cliff. The cliff was covered with strange pine trees and ancient vines.
Under the cliff, there was an ancient tree. This ancient tree was tall and verdant, and the crown of the tree was lush with green leaves.
This tree was over seven meters tall, and even a dozen people would find it difficult to hug it.
Most importantly, there was a golden fruit on this tree.
This fruit was like a peach, but its cylindrical body was bright gold. The peach leaves were so big that they looked like an ear.
"This is... an immortal fruit?" Lin Qingxue cried out in surprise. Looking at this ancient tree, there was an irrepressible joy on her face.
There was a trace of shock on Huang Zongyu's face, "This ancient tree is at least a thousand years old, right? A thousand years old tree is rarely seen in the world. It is worthy of being called the Dragon Lake Mountain."
Hee Feng's pupils contracted. He took out a compass from behind his clothes. He saw that the compass was trying to calculate the risk. Just as he inserted his magic power into the compass, he saw his magic power moving randomly and slowly dissipating.
"How is it?" Huang Zongyu turned his head to look at Hee Feng.
"I'm afraid the Feng Shui here is beyond my ability. I can't figure it out with my power." Hee Feng took a deep breath. He had been in the Northern Sect for many years, and he had been able to decipher all kinds of Fengshui and strange places. Now that he was in the Dragon Lake Mountain, he felt like he was shaking a tree with a compass.
This tree was the Dragon Lake Mountain, and he was the Red Mist.
"All of you, calm down. I'll deduce it again!" Hee Feng was solemn. He sat on the ground and held a spiritual seal in his hand. Below him, strands of purple magic power gradually formed a formation, and Hee Feng seemed to have fallen into a strange realm.
Huang Zongyu frowned, "Hee Feng, we have already arrived. Even if there is a huge risk, do we still have to go back the way we came?"
As he spoke, he faintly moved forward and gathered his strength, "All of you wait here for me. I will take this fruit and come later!"
The ground was silent. Huang Zongyu's body was like a gust of wind as he walked towards the thousand-year-old ancient tree.
"Grandmaster Huang!" Lin Qingxue reached out her hand but could not stop him.
Huang Zongyu's expression was solemn. Although he was conceited, he did not dare to be careless in this place. He had almost pushed his mind to the limit.
However, what surprised Huang Zongyu was that he entered the ancient tree and rose up like a spring breeze. The Genuine Qi broke the ear peach leaves and kept the golden peach in his hand.
During the process, there was not the slightest bit of risk. And when he smelled the golden peach, he could feel the sweetness in his mouth and teeth. He was in high spirits, as if his essence, energy, and spirit had all increased by a notch.
"This is an immortal fruit. This is already considered an immortal peach, right? The legendary immortal peach is nothing more than this!"
Huang Zongyu exclaimed in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate. He turned around and returned to Lin Qingxue and the others.
The surrounding area was surprisingly quiet. Not to mention the risk, even the sound of the wind seemed to have disappeared.
Huang Zongyu revealed a faint smile, "Chu He. I've already helped the Chu family retrieve the celestial peach. Take it."
Chu He was overjoyed. He took the peach with both hands, then took out a wooden box and put it away.
"Thank you, Grandmaster Huang. The Chu Family will repay you handsomely!"
Huang Zongyu nodded with a smile. He looked at the peach and felt reluctant to part with it. However, he was not a greedy person. Before coming to Dragon Lake, he had made an agreement with the Chu Family.
Huang Zongyu turned around and looked at Hee Feng, who was still deducing. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Hee Feng, you are still probing, but I have already retrieved it."
"You are really becoming more and more timid as you grow older!"
He reached out and patted Hee Feng's shoulder, trying to wake him up.
Suddenly, Hee Feng opened his eyes. His body was trembling violently. His eyes were red. Then, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.0
Huang Zongyu was stunned. He said in shock, "Hee Feng, I didn't touch you!"
He saw that Hee Feng was in low spirits, and his eyes were filled with fear.
It was almost impossible for him to escape. He said in a hoarse voice, "Quick... run!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Hee Feng. No one knew what had happened.
What no one noticed was that above them, in the white clouds, a huge black shadow slowly appeared.
On both sides of the black shadow, the clouds dispersed.
This huge black shadow gradually revealed its true appearance.
