On the morning of the second day, Sima You Yue and the others prepared to set off. As they left, the just happened to bump into those two ladies.
The lady in white smiled at them while that Red Cloud was dripping with arrogance.
Thank you very much for giving us a room yesterday so we didn’t have to sleep on the streets.
The girl in white,Jade, said with a smile.
No problem. Anyway, you already said thank you yesterday.
Sima You Yue replied.
Sima You Yang returned the rooms, walked over and said,
Let’s go, otherwise, we won’t be able to reach Dragon mountain tomorrow night.
When Jade heard them mention Dragon Mountain, she asked,
Are you all going to Saint City as well?
We are. Are you going there too?
Sima You Yang asked.
That’s right. Since we’re all going to Saint City, why don’t we travel together? Would you mind if we two tag along?
Jade asked while smiling.
Sister!
Red Cloud furrowed her brows as if she did not quite agree.
No problem.
Jade said to Red Cloud.
In any case, we’re going the same way.
Are you people from Saint City?
Sima You Qing asked.
That’s right, Master has sent out orders that we have to get something done, so we have to return.
Jade said.
That’s just as well. We’ve never gone to Saint City before, and were just thinking of finding someone to bring us.
Sima You Yang smiled and said,
It’s our blessing to have two pretty ladies as our companions!
Although Red Cloud was not too happy with it, it looked like she still listened to Jade. As a result, she could only follow them there.
After they came out of the small city, they headed north. They could reach Saint City in two days by riding on their flying spirit beasts. In the middle was densely packed with mountains, and only Dragon Mountain had a small area that functioned as a place for one to stop and relax on the way there.
And they had to rush to arrive on that small area before nightfall.
Fatty Qu did not really understand this place, so he asked with curiosity,
Can’t we rest on the mountains? Why do we have to go to that small area at Dragon Mountain?
Have you all never heard about the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?
Jade asked with surprise.
Fatty Qu scratched the back of his head, saying,
Never.
You’re such a bumpkin, you don’t even know this!
Red Cloud cast Fatty Qu a look of disdain.
Jade didn’t look down on them, and said,
Saint City in inside the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. The Thousand Beast Mountain is different from other mountain ranges. When nightfall comes, many spirit beasts will begin to act wildly and it is extremely dangerous. I don’t need to tell you what will happen if you encounter those beasts.
This was the first time that Sima You Yue had heard about this and she muttered,
Could it be that Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is antipodal, and its timing is flipped over from other Mountain Ranges?
What did you say?
Jade asked because she didn’t hear clearly.
Cough cough, nothing much.
Sima You Yue asked,
That small resting area at Dragon Mountain should have a protection array or barrier to protect us, right?
That’s right.
Jade said,
In order to be a place that facilitates stopovers, the people of Saint City have set up a small resting area opposite Dragon Mountain and gotten array masters from the higher realms to set up a protection array.
Since it’s so dangerous, why don’t they set up a teleportation array?
Wei Zi Qi asked.
There used to be one, but the space there was not stable, so they had no way to use a teleportation array.
Jade explained.
Then just change location.
Fatty Qu said.
Jade smiled as she shook her head, saying,
Saint City has been here for over a thousand years, there is naturally a reason. It’s not like it can be moved just because you want it to.
Since this Ten Thousand beast mountain is so dangerous, weren’t you two worried when you came here by yourselves?
Sima You Yang asked.
It’s not too dangerous between here and Dragon Mountain. There will also be people waiting at Dragon Mountain to pick us up.
Jade replied,
We’ve already left the city, so let’s get on our flying beasts.
Hey, our flying beasts are really quick. Don’t be left behind in a moment!
Red Cloud said.
Dont’ need you to worry.
Sima You Yang said,
You Yue, why don’t you let Little Roc come out, he’s the fastest.
Okay.
Sima You Yue nodded and called Little Roc out and let him return to his original appearance.
Four Winged Roc!
Jade was a little surprised. This was the king of all flying beasts, they never expected that they would have this kind of spirit beasts.
Red Cloud’s expression had turned a bit ugly. She had just taunted them by telling them not to be left behind, but the other party had just taken out a flying beast that was even quicker. She had really slapped her own face.
Jade could be said to be more knowledgeable and experienced, and quickly recovered and said,
Our flying beasts cannot fly as fast as you guys. Why don’t we just go together.
Sima You Yue looked at her and saw that her gaze was calm without a shred of feeling bad, so she nodded her head and agreed.
When everyone had got on, Little Roc spread his wings and flew. He quickly left the little city behind.
The Sima Clan deserves to be a first rate power, it has such a solid foundation.
Jade sighed in admiration as she felt Little Roc’s speed.
Because Little Roc was so quick, although they were initially supposed to reach Dragon Mountain at night, they reached before evening had come.
This is the little city?
Sima You Yue saw that it was just a group of houses clustered together inside Dragon City and blinked her eyes in confusion.
This is rather small, but it has everything. Its facilities are still very good.
Jade climbed off Little Roc and said while looking at them,
Its inns and shops don’t lack anything, its just a little expensive.
Let’s go in and take a look.
Sima You Yue hopped off as well and said.
Little Roc turned back into a little bird and flew onto her shoulder.
They walked into the little city and initially thought that it would be rather cold, but they never expected it to be bustling with activity. It was filled with mercenaries and cultivators, as well as a lot of people like them, who were preparing to go and participate in the meeting.
It’s really hard to imagine that this place would actually be filled with so many people!
Wei Zi Qi said with surprise.
That’s true. It really broadens one’s perspectives.
It was the first time that Sima You Qing and the others had come, so they were rather curious about this place.
Jade brought them to an inn right in the centre and said,
This is the biggest in here. My brother disciple and the others said they would be picking us up here.
Sima You Yue and the others were on the receiving end of a lot of stares as they entered, and two of them were not very friendly.
Sister disciple.
A man of tall stature saw them and walked over, saying,
How come you guys only reached today? We have been waiting for you for half a month and even thought that something had happened to you, we were worried to death.
Jade did not really like these people, so she put on a fake smile and her expression was light. Her voice also grew a few notches colder as she said,
Brother Li, why are you the one who came?
There’s something up at the Sage Pavilion, so Brother Han was called over. Master was worried about you two, so he asked me to take people to come receive you.
Li Mu explained.
Oh.
Jade replied.
Although she did not like this Li Mu, she couldn’t say anything since things had already developed this way.
These people are?
Li Mu did not forget that she was happily chatting away with them as she entered, and he looked coldly at them.
They’re friends I met on the way.
Jade replied. Then, she turned to the innkeeper and said,
Innkeeper, prepare a few rooms for them.
I’m really sorry, Miss Jade. The rooms here have already been completely booked by your brother disciple. There are no available rooms anymore.
Innkeeper replied.
Since Brother Disciple is the one who booked them, then let them stay.
Jade said.
Sister, I’m sorry, but these rooms have been prepared for the Nalan Clansmen.
