~4 minute read · 1,071 words

Li Yunjing and the three others followed Nangong Yuan and Huang Yun, continuing towards the distant Immortal Mountain.

Along the way, everyone was safe.

After all, this was the core area of the Nangong Family. If someone dared to ambush the Nangong Family here, the family would probably be in name only.

"Haha! This is ’Yuanmo Mountain,’ a Tier Four Spirit Vein, the ancestral land of our clan!"

On the way up the mountain, everyone chose to walk. Nangong Yuan proudly introduced the mountain scenery to Li Yunjing and the others.

The development of ’Yuanmo Mountain’ was not deep.

Like the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ it also adopted protective development. The dense forests were lush, with occasional crisp bird calls and glimpses of fleeing demon beasts.

These were all spirit beasts reared by the Nangong Family.

As they continued to climb, the number of patrolling Nangong Family disciples noticeably increased.

These people wore the unified attire of the Nangong Family, their eyes sharp. When they saw Li Yunjing and the others, they immediately stepped forward to question them.

"Halt, who goes there?"

Before long, Li Yunjing and his group were stopped again. The leading disciple scanned them, his tone carrying a hint of authority.

"Sixteenth Brother, it’s me! Nangong Yuan! Returning from a mission, these are friends accompanying me."

Nangong Yuan stepped forward, smiling as he spoke.

"Ah! Brother Yuan, you’ve returned!"

The man looked closely and indeed it was Nangong Yuan and Huang Yun, which made him smile, his expression softening significantly.

"Who are these?"

After exchanging a few words with Nangong Yuan, the man looked at Li Yunjing and his group and asked.

Out of duty, even if Nangong Yuan brought them, he needed to ask some questions to get clarity!

"I am Li Wutian from the Myriad Poison Sect. These are my junior brothers and junior sisters. We’re here to escort Fellow Daoist Nangong Yuan back."

Li Yunjing stepped forward and replied.

"Oh! Then welcome, friends of the Myriad Poison Sect!"

The disciple’s eyes shifted as he looked at Nangong Yuan and smiled, "Since you are friends of Brother Yuan, please come in!"

"Hahaha! Brother Li, please come in!"

Nangong Yuan gave the man a slight nod and then laughed heartily, inviting Li Yunjing and the others.

Nangong Yuan bid farewell to the patrol team and led Li Yunjing and the three others up ’Yuanmo Mountain.’ As they approached the peak, they were greeted by an abundance of bamboo forests and lush greenery.

It truly was a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

There was no hint of the fierce aura of the Demon Dao; instead, there was a tranquil atmosphere.

"I never expected this to be such a peaceful place for cultivation."

Li Yunjing thought to himself.

At this moment, he became even more wary of the Nangong Family.

Returning to simplicity!

It was evident that the Nangong Family had powerful figures!

He just wasn’t sure if it was the work of that Nascent Soul Realm ancestor.

If it was that person, Li Yunjing would not be particularly worried. The realm and understanding of the Dao for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, so such insight wasn’t surprising.

But if the Nangong Family had others with such prowess, it would be troublesome.

This would mean the Nangong Family also had formidable figures in the Golden Core Realm!

Just as they reached the sprawling front of the Nangong Family’s palaces, an elder in black robes approached with a few disciples.

The elder had a ruddy complexion, white hair and eyebrows, and his eyes were focused, exuding a genial aura with quite a bit of an immortal demeanor.

This person was actually a master at the Golden Core Realm!

And one of those masters who have returned to simplicity!

Extremely formidable!

Li Yunjing’s heart trembled as he gathered his breath, making sure not to show any sign of discrepancy.

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao did the same, not daring to make a slip in front of this senior.

"Junior pays respects to Senior."

Li Yunjing, together with the three behind him, politely bowed.

At this moment, being on someone else’s territory, they naturally had to be extra cautious.

"Enough with the formalities!"

The elder waved a hand, and a gust of wind helped Li Yunjing and the others stand upright.

He assessed the four with a smile and said, "I’ve heard from Yuan’er that the journey was fraught with danger, and it was due to you little friends’ assistance that they made it through. I am truly grateful."

His demeanor was kind, and his tone gentle, making him seem like a respectable elder.

Such a demonic cultivator was truly unprecedented, unheard of.

"Senior is too kind! Nangong Brother and I share an affinity, assisting him was only natural!"

Li Yunjing spoke with a solemn tone, with an added touch of modesty. Such a figure was truly terrifying, and he had a level of apprehension, fearing any slip could give him away.

After chatting for a while, after some time, Nangong Yuan signaled to Huang Yun to take Li Yunjing and the others to rest for a moment.

Li Yunjing and the group took their leave wisely, understanding that Nangong Yuan had matters to discuss with the senior.

After entering the Nangong Family, Huang Yun led them further inside the clan.

Along the way, Li Yunjing observed the surroundings, noting the orderly layout of pavilions and towers, the ubiquitous spirit plants, and the rich spiritual energy—this was indeed a blessed land.

The more he saw, the more alarmed he became.

Beneath the serene surface lay hidden dangers.

Before long, they arrived at an imposing building.

"Fellow Daoists, this is our courtyard, where I’ll arrange guest accommodations for you."

Huang Yun stopped and smiled at Li Yunjing and the others.

"Huang Fairy, it is truly an imposition this time."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and said, "Should anything be inconvenient, I hope you will let us know, and we will ensure not to cause trouble for you or the Nangong Family."

"Fellow Daoist Li, you’re too modest. If it weren’t for your help this time, we might have faced great losses."

Huang Yun’s lips curved into a gentle smile as she replied, "It is our Nangong Family’s honor to host you."
