Chapter 166 Arrival at Six Peaks Mountain
Chapter 166 Arrival at Six Peaks Mountain
"Look for yourself, where else can I retreat? If I retreat any further, I'll fall!" Ye Xiaobai complained helplessly, pointing to the spot where his feet were dangling in the air.
Seeing that Ye Xiaobai's feet were already dangling in the air, Liu Rumei said awkwardly, "Never mind, stand still, don't fall! But how come your nose is even more sensitive than a dog's?"
"You flatter me, fairy. You should watch the road ahead. We'll be almost at Six Peaks Mountain soon!" Ye Xiaobai quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, business is more important. I'll talk to you later!" Liu Rumei immediately turned around and focused on controlling the lotus platform, heading towards Liufeng Mountain with peace of mind.
An hour later, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei successfully entered the outer perimeter of Liufeng Mountain, and Liu Rumei immediately slowed down.
Liufeng Mountain, a mysterious and magnificent mountain range, winds across the land like a giant dragon. This mountain range consists of six towering, majestic peaks, each soaring into the clouds as if piercing the sky.
Although the monsters in the mountains aren't of very high level, they shouldn't be underestimated. It's understood that the strongest monster here is only at the third tier, but it still poses a certain threat to ordinary cultivators.
Fortunately, this mountain range falls within the sphere of influence of the Qingxia Sect. This sect enjoys considerable prestige and power in the area, maintaining peace and order.
Normally, only cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage choose to come to Six Peaks Mountain for training. They hope to improve their combat skills and acquire valuable resources and experience by fighting the demonic beasts in the mountain. This information was what Sun Siyu had told Ye Xiaobai before.
Ye Xiaobai noticed many people with different styles of clothing rapidly entering Liufeng Mountain and asked curiously, "Didn't that guy surnamed Liu say that Liufeng Mountain has the secret cave of the Five Elements Venerable? Why does it feel like there are so many cultivators here?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei said calmly, "It seems someone deliberately leaked the information, trying to fish in troubled waters within the Qingxia Sect's sphere of influence!"
"That should be the case, then I should hurry, or I won't even get to drink the soup!" With that, Ye Xiaobai plunged headfirst into the Six Peaks Mountain.
Liu Rumei followed closely behind and soon disappeared from sight.
Before long, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei arrived at the highest peak in the Six Peaks Mountain Range. Ye Xiaobai stood on a huge rock and began to carefully observe his surroundings, hoping to find some valuable clues.
Just then, a third-tier rattlesnake suddenly darted out from the shadows and pounced straight at Ye Xiaobai!
Faced with this sudden attack, Ye Xiaobai dared not be careless. He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the rattlesnake's attack. Immediately afterward, he gripped his longsword and swung it down fiercely at the rattlesnake!
A flash of sword light appeared, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp, forceful motion, making a "whoosh" sound. However, the rattlesnake was exceptionally agile; with a twist in mid-air, it skillfully dodged Ye Xiaobai's attack!
"Let's finish this quickly! This monster isn't high-level, but the noise it makes might attract other monsters, and then we'll be in trouble!" Liu Rumei said solemnly. As she spoke, she gripped her longsword tightly, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"Understood!" Ye Xiaobai replied. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then charged towards the third-tier rattlesnake with Liu Rumei.
Their movements were swift and decisive, their teamwork seamless. Liu Rumei nimbly dodged the rattlesnake's attacks while simultaneously slashing at its vital points with her sword. Ye Xiaobai, meanwhile, used various spells to restrict the rattlesnake's movements.
Under the combined attack of the two, the rattlesnake gradually lost its ability to resist. Finally, Liu Rumei pierced its head with her sword, ending its life.
The battle, though brief, was incredibly thrilling and dangerous. Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai successfully slew the third-tier rattlesnake, avoiding the danger of being surrounded by other demonic beasts. They exchanged a glance, satisfied smiles on their faces.
Ye Xiaobai quickly cleaned up the battlefield to prevent the bloody smell from attracting other monsters.
Just as I finished tidying up, an unfamiliar voice appeared.
"You two fellow cultivators are also here to search for the Five Elements Venerable's Cave Realm, right? How about we cooperate with our Seven Lakes Sect?" a young cultivator said with a smile.
Ye Xiaobai looked up and took a closer look, only to find that there were actually five or six people who had come! And they were all Core Formation stage cultivators! The most conspicuous one was the young cultivator.
He looked to be only around twenty years old, but he had already reached the early stage of Core Formation. Such talent was truly astonishing.
Of course, these cultivators also noticed that Liu Rumei's cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm. Faced with such formidable strength, they immediately realized that if they could cooperate with her to search for the secret realm, their chances of success would greatly increase.
After all, the exact location of the secret realm is still unknown at this moment, and one more person means one more force.
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei asked curiously, "I heard this is Qingxia Sect's territory. Aren't you from Qihu Sect afraid of causing unnecessary sect conflicts by coming here?"
Upon hearing this, the young cultivator's face instantly darkened, a slight sneer appearing on his lips as he retorted without any politeness, "Hmph! Within the territory of Yue Kingdom, our Seven Lakes Sect is a renowned and authoritative sect. Who dares to oppose us? What is the Qingxia Sect anyway? What right do they have to interfere in the affairs of our Seven Lakes Sect!"
Just then, a soft footstep sound came from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several figures dressed in light blue robes approaching. A prominent character, "霞" (Xia), was embroidered on their robes, clearly indicating the arrival of disciples from the Qingxia Sect.
Leading the way was an older cultivator with a stern face and an air of authority in his eyes. He looked at the younger cultivator and questioned him with a hint of displeasure, "Oh? Is that so?" His voice was soft, but it was full of pressure.
The leading monk seemed quite displeased with the young monk's attitude.
"Oh, it's Elder Mu! Long time no see!" The disciples of the Seven Lakes Sect immediately became respectful when they saw that the visitor was Mu Jiuling, a late-stage Core Formation elder from the Qingxia Sect.
“I heard someone say from afar that our Qingxia Sect is nothing, Junior Nephew Wu, didn’t your master teach you basic manners?” Mu Jiuling immediately mocked.
This young man from the Seven Lakes Sect is named Wu Haotian, and he is also one of the top experts among the younger generation of the Seven Lakes Sect.
However, when they encountered elders from the Qingxia Sect, their strength was indeed insufficient.
"Elder Mu is right, I will definitely pay attention next time! I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!" After saying this, Wu Haotian led the people of the Seven Lakes Sect and left to search for other secret realms.
"You two should leave Liufeng Mountain as soon as possible. This place is fraught with danger and is beyond your ability to handle!" Mu Jiuling suggested to Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei.
