84: C84 Departure

C84 Departure

These few people, if they weren't high officials, then they were the sons of princesses. Not a single one was simple, but none were commoners.

However, thinking about it, there was a saying that goes, 'A poor scholar is rich in martial arts', and if one wanted to learn it at around the age of 20 and break through to the Xiantian realm, it was impossible to do without a large amount of precious herbs and good cultivation techniques, unless there were many fortuitous encounters, but how many people in this world could have such heaven-defying luck?

Most likely, only the descendants of these clans would be able to grow swiftly with good resources.

A few days later, the group quickly left the Zhongzhou Prefecture realm. Although they were a little worried along the way, no one from Netherworld Sect appeared, causing everyone to heave a sigh of relief.

Looking at the long and gloomy mountain range in front of him, Niu Tiechui's face showed a hint of caution.

"What's wrong?" Sensing the change on the other side, Gu Yuan took the initiative to ask.

Niu Tiechui took a deep breath, turned around and said to everyone: "After we cross the mountain in front of us, we will reach the Mighty Sky Peak."

Everyone was puzzled. They didn't understand that they were about to arrive, but Niu Tiechui's expression seemed to become heavier.

Pointing at the mountain range behind them, Niu Tiechui continued, "Everyone must be extra careful on this next trip. This mountain range is very dangerous, even I don't have the confidence to bring you guys safely through it. So, after entering the mountain range, I hope that you can focus fully on it and not slack off at all."

With Niu Tiechui's words, everyone's expression became serious. Gu Yuan was even more shocked.

Previously, when the System investigated, this Niu Tiechui was a grandmaster level expert, how dangerous was the place that even he was unsure of?!

Gu Yuan instantly became alert and didn't dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness.

The party of eight slowly made their way towards the heart of the mountain. Not long after they left, another four silhouettes appeared like demons, staring in the direction where the muscular man and the rest had left to.

One of them said, "We still have one more path left, so it's very possible that the Netherworld Sect will strike here."

Another slightly shorter figure said, "The Lord has ordered us to protect them even if we have to risk our lives."

The remaining three people remained silent for a while. Then, the four of them moved and chased after Gu Yuan and the others.

Not long after the four figures left, the ground twisted and a figure appeared out of nowhere.

The figure twisted and turned into the image of a woman in purple. She covered her mouth and laughed as she looked in the direction the two groups had left. Then, she twisted and disappeared.

After entering the mountain range, Gu Yuan clearly felt a cold and gloomy aura. It was very similar to the Soulless Valley from before, but it was even more evil.

On the way, Niu Tiechui explained: "Since this mountain range is located at the border of the Mighty Sky Peak, it does not count as the Zhongzhou Prefecture realm. Also, there are many strange beasts within the mountain range, and some of them can't even deal with Grandmasters, so Zhongzhou Prefecture Center have not been investigated before, and you have a very low understanding of this place."

"Also, Lin Wuyang suspects that there is a Netherworld Sect stronghold in this mountain. Unfortunately, they have to pass through this place to get to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Sect from the Zhongzhou Prefecture."

Gu Yuan and the others understood why Niu Tiechui was so cautious. Not only was this place filled with danger, there was also a potential threat from the Netherworld Sect.

If that was the case, they might really fall here.

Gu Yuan became more vigilant. He was tense and did not dare to relax even a bit. It was the same for Zhang Jie and the rest.

Without incident, that night, under Niu Tiechui's lead, they found a place close to the water source to rest.

As only Niu Tiechui was present, Gu Yuan's strength was the highest, moreover Gu Yuan's combat experience was also relatively rich, so he decided to have Gu Yuan watch the first half of the night, while Niu Tiechui watch the second half.

Seeing that everyone went to bed after dinner, Gu Yuan found a big tree not far away and sat down, then he looked up at the sky.

Qingming, who was on his shoulder, also curiously looked up at the sky.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel homesick."

"Ji ji." Although Qing Ming didn't really understand what Gu Yuan was saying, he still replied.

Gu Yuan smiled. He patted Qing Ming's head and said, "I'm afraid I can't go back. But don't worry, I will make you stronger as soon as possible. When your strength is enough to protect the monkeys, I will let you go back."

This time, Qing Ming seemed to understand what he meant. He hugged Gu Yuan's neck and intimately rubbed his neck.

Two hours later, Gu Yuan was still looking up at the sky while Qing Ming was falling asleep.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Gu Yuan.

"I'll accompany you to stand guard."

Gu Yuan's relaxed body stopped and his expression showed a trace of surprise, but he still moved to the side.

Immediately after, a nice fragrance floated over, and a slim figure sat beside Gu Yuan.

"Why aren't you asleep?"

Qin Xiaoyue brushed the hair by her ear and replied calmly, "I can't fall asleep."

"Oh."

Gu Yuan didn't know how to reply. When facing Qin Xiaoyue, Gu Yuan would always feel inexplicably nervous.

"You have nothing to say to me?" Seeing that Gu Yuan was silent, Qin Xiaoyue took the initiative to ask after a moment of silence.

Gu Yuan remained silent as he thought about what to say in order to let the other party understand his thoughts without getting angry.

Just as Gu Yuan lowered his head in thought, Qin Xiaoyue unexpectedly took another measurement and leaned her head on Gu Yuan's shoulder.

Gu Yuan's body instantly stiffened.

"I like you."

The four short words were like a bolt out of the blue, making Gu Yuan stupefied.

Although he already knew what Qin Xiaoyue was thinking of him, Gu Yuan would never have thought that she would confess to him in person.

In his mind, Qin Xiaoyue should not be this kind of person.

Gu Yuan felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

At this moment, Qing Ming, who was on Gu Yuan's other shoulder, suddenly woke up. He looked at Gu Yuan in confusion, as if he felt that Gu Yuan's current appearance was a bit strange.

Then, he saw Qin Xiaoyue leaning on Gu Yuan's shoulder. Anger suddenly appeared on her face and she grabbed towards Qin Xiaoyue with lightning speed.

"You can't!"

Gu Yuan was shocked by Qingming's sudden action and wanted to stop him, but Qingming's speed was too fast. Gu Yuan was not prepared for it so he grabbed Qin Xiaoyue's face.

Gu Yuan was shocked, but his expression soon changed into surprise and shock.

After she was caught by Qing Ming, Qin Xiaoyue actually shattered like glass and disappeared!

"What's going on!"

Gu Yuan stood up abruptly in shock, and the Fangtian Halberd immediately appeared in his hands.

"It's fake." At the same time, Qingming's tender voice sounded in Gu Yuan's mind.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then instantly reacted.

No wonder he felt that Qin Xiaoyue had changed into something strange. It turned out that it wasn't Qin Xiaoyue at all, but an illusion.0
