Ji Yuan arrives at Cloud Rain Peak and meets with Elder You Zai. You Zai Daoist gives Ji Yuan the token needed to open Blood Sword Island and offers him support, which Ji Yuan declines. The next morning, disciples assemble for the journey, and Ji Yuan is provided with two Winged Flying Tigers for the trip. You Zai Daoist also reveals that Dan Ding Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect have returned seized property and offered compensation, which Ji Yuan suspects is due to his actions against their Nascent Soul ancestors.

Chapter 1241: Chapter 425: “Do You… Want to Die?!

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then stepped forward, his aura overwhelming the two winged flying tigers, which immediately subdued and restrained their own presence.

He slowly turned around and looked at the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples who were eagerly waiting, and said solemnly, “Depart!”

“Under Elder Xu’s order!”

Some sensible ones even cupped their hands in salute before each setting up their flying magical artifacts and boarding the carriage.

After a short while, once the last Qi Cultivation Stage disciple boarded the carriage, Ji Yuan cupped his hands towards You Zai Daoist on the opposite side. “Brother You Zai, let’s go.”

“Thank you, Brother Xu.”

You Zai Daoist returned the salute.

Ji Yuan immediately turned around, lightly tapping the Jade Token in his hand. The two Tier Three winged flying tigers, initially hovering at the dock, abruptly flapped their wings and took off, dragging the carriage behind them, heading westward.

The carriage reached the clouds in no time.

The winged flying tigers began to tread on the white clouds.

The Qi Cultivation Stage disciples who had never seen this scene were astonished to look at the scenery outside, making exaggerated noises and discussing with their friends beside them.

Some even came to Ji Yuan, standing behind him to pay their respects.

At first, Ji Yuan would respond with a few words, but as more people came, he became too lazy to respond, directly stepping back into the cabin inside the carriage.

After all, the winged flying tigers knew to just keep flying westward.

If any unexpected incident really occurred, Ji Yuan would be able to react immediately.

As the winged flying tigers flew at full speed, half a month passed in an instant.

During this half month, Ji Yuan occasionally divided some of his attention to keep an eye on the flying boat. Except for encountering some fierce winds along the way, nothing else happened, and with the path cleared by these two Tier Three winged flying tigers, not a single reckless demon beast was encountered.

“Ahead lies the territory of Tianjian Sect. According to what You Zai Daoist said… people from the Tianjian Sect will be waiting for us there until we, the Cloud Rain Sect, and the Dan Ding Sect join up, then we will set off to Blood Sword Island together.”

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan no longer stayed within the cabin and with a step forward, he appeared atop the left winged flying tiger.

Initially, this winged flying tiger was rather unwilling.

But when Ji Yuan’s Nascent Soul Divine Sense acted upon this demon beast, it immediately became obedient.

Ji Yuan’s appearance naturally drew the attention of those Qi Cultivation Stage disciples, and the closest ones even asked aloud, “Elder Xu, has something happened?”

“Nothing. Stay in the carriage and don’t come out.”

Because Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense had already detected, just over a hundred miles south, a giant flying sword was swiftly approaching.

Although the direction was somewhat off, once it reached here, it would definitely discover us.

Ji Yuan’s focus was on the late-stage Core Formation man from Tianjian Sect; he had a gigantic sword box on his back, with no way to discern how many swords were inside.

But judging from the uncontrollable sword qi emanating from him… many swords, and undoubtedly strong.

His appearance could only be described as ordinary, but the audacious aura around him was unmistakable.

‘Looking so young yet possessing a late-stage Core Formation cultivation and a sword cultivator at that, he indeed has reasons to be somewhat arrogant.’

Ji Yuan muttered to himself.

Soon, he detected the approaching group from the Dan Ding Sect.

They were sitting atop a gigantic elixir cauldron; their leader, a Core Formation Cultivator, was a beautiful woman in a purple long skirt, her cultivation also at late-stage Core Formation.

… No wonder, sending a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator would really lack credibility!

Ji Yuan sighed inwardly. Before long, Tianjian Sect’s giant flying sword appeared in the south. When the flying sword broke through layers of clouds into the view of the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples from the Cloud Rain Sect, they couldn’t help but exclaim.

“What is this flying sword? It’s so huge. Activating it must consume a lot of Spirit Stones!”

“Ha, in front of our Cloud Rain Sect’s winged flying tigers, it’s just pretty but useless junk.”

“Indeed, indeed. I think Elder Xu can easily slash this flying sword with a single move.”

“…”

Listening to the compliments behind him, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.

But he quickly realized something was amiss because although the flying sword from Tianjian Sect was very close to the Cloud Rain Sect’s flying carriage, the momentum showed no signs of decreasing.

Clearly, it was on a collision course.

At this distance, Ji Yuan could already sense the biting sword qi coming from that flying sword, and under his feet, the two winged flying tigers were already growling lowly, even their bodies crouched slightly, clearly ready for battle.

“What’s Tianjian Sect trying to do!”

“Are they looking for a fight?! Damn it, my junior brother died at the hands of Tianjian Sect back in the day. If they want a fight, bring it on. We’re not afraid of them!”

“…”

Listening to the bold words of the disciples behind him, none showed fear, nor did anyone think of begging for mercy.

For this kind of atmosphere, Ji Yuan felt extremely pleased.

So he narrowed his eyes, looking at the young man in white clothes sitting on the tip of the flying sword, then took a step forward, placing himself in front of the carriage to protect the two winged flying tigers and the group of Qi Cultivation Stage disciples.

At this proximity, Ji Yuan could even see the sneer on the face of the young man opposite him.

Yet he did not use any techniques, completely exposing himself under the tip of the flying sword.
