“So… bumpy…”
At this moment, Wan Yunting was driving an off-road vehicle on a rugged mountain road, the jolts making Zhang Xian’er feel like she was about to throw up her breakfast.
Zhou Ruoxi, sitting in the passenger seat, naturally didn’t complain. Chen Qiuyun, who was sitting behind with Zhang Xian’er, had her eyes closed, resting. The bumps didn’t affect her at all.
“It looks like the road ends up ahead.”
Wan Yunting saw a patch of forest ahead. They were about to reach the foot of Gongge’er Peak.
However, according to the address given by Zhou Ruoxi’s biological mother, Yin Baisu, the location of the Demon Cult’s old site, the Demon Pool, was within the mountains of Gongge’er Peak, on a peak called Demon Mountain! kAnshu伍.ξà
Demon Mountain was a solitary peak within Gongge’er Peak, surrounded by other mountains. The name Demon Mountain was actually given by the former leader of the Demon Cult.
However, later outsiders did not use this name. That peak was now called Lonely Snow Peak!
By noon, the car stopped in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
“We can only go on foot from here.”
Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi’s group alighted from the car, picked up their hiking bags and their respective swords.
There was also the demon sword, wrapped in cloth and carried by Wan Yunting. He led Zhou Ruoxi, Chen Qiuyun, and Zhang Xian’er, initially following the route on the map drawn by Bahar Gulie!
“Be careful…”
Walking in this mountain forest, the ground was covered in snow, making it very difficult to walk. Fortunately, Wan Yunting and the others were martial artists, so they didn’t have to stop and rest every ten steps…
Less than two hours after Wan Yunting led the three women into the mountains, many vehicles arrived in a mighty procession. It was the people from various sects…
“That car is Wan Yunting’s!”
Everyone saw the off-road vehicle Wan Yunting had abandoned ahead, and they all went over.
Looking at the footprints left in the snow, they could follow the tracks to catch up to Wan Yunting’s group…
“Sect Leader Zhong, Abbot Renxin, should we pursue them quickly now?”
Shi Yizhen, the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect, came over and asked Zhong Yulong and Abbot Renxin.
Zhong Yulong shook his head slightly and said, “Let’s tail them for now. No need to rush to catch up to Wan Yunting!”
“Sect Leader Zhong is right,” Liu Bing nodded and said, “Let’s wait for Wan Yunting to find the Demon Pool, then we can reveal ourselves. It won’t be too late!”
“Exactly…”
The others nodded in agreement. Although Zhong Yulong didn’t explicitly say it, it was the same meaning.
“Everyone, get your things and let’s go…”
With a command, the people from the various sects, carrying their respective belongings, followed Zhong Yulong, Abbot Renxin, Shi Yizhen, and the others, moving into the mountains following the footprints left by Wan Yunting’s group…
On the other side, the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult also led a group of believers and began to enter the mountains from another direction. Jian Shisan also sent people to scout the movements of the various sects, but there was no news yet.
“Godfather, should we find out where the major sects are and settle the score before looking for Wan Yunting?”
Jian Shisan followed the Main God, while Ye Qianqian and the others from the Demon Cult could only follow behind, not daring to get close to the Main God.
“No need. Find Wan Yunting first, get the Demon Pool of the Demon Cult, and once I cultivate divine power, I’ll settle scores with the major sects!” the Main God’s low voice slowly said.
“Understood.”
Jian Shisan nodded, then turned and glanced afar at Ye Qianqian following behind, saying, “Godfather, what about those people from the Demon Cult?”
“Heh heh…”
The Main God chuckled and said, “The Demon Cult is completely in decline now. Don’t worry about them. Once we find the Demon Pool, kill them.”
Jian Shisan’s eyes turned cold. He nodded and stepped back. When Ye Qianqian and the others caught up, Jian Shisan smiled and said, “Sect Leader Ye, has there been any news from Wan Yunting?”
“Yes, Zhou Ruoxi will leave us markers on the road, and we can just follow them,” Ye Qianqian said with a smile, pretending.
“Good…”
Jian Shisan nodded, then deliberately walked with Ye Qianqian, chatting casually along the way…
On the other side, Wan Yunting was pulling Zhou Ruoxi up a large rock with one hand, and then reaching out to pull Chen Qiuyun and Zhang Xian’er…
“How much longer until we get there?”
The bag on Zhang Xian’er’s back was filled with baked naan and jerky. The girl hadn’t stopped eating all the way, treating the jerky as snacks…
“Eat less. We don’t know when we’ll get out. If you eat it all now, what will we eat later?” Wan Yunting stared at the girl speechlessly and snatched the jerky from her grasp.
“Hey, aren’t there plenty of animals in these mountains? We can just hunt one down and eat it,” Zhang Xian’er said nonchalantly.
Wan Yunting said angrily, “Hunt one down? Do you want to go to jail?”
“Alright, Yunting. How much further is it?” Zhou Ruoxi asked.
Wan Yunting took out Gulie’s map and gazed at the continuous mountain peaks ahead. The white peaks were very beautiful under the sunlight. Especially as the sun gradually set, the white peaks were bathed in a red glow, which was very spectacular…
“The glacier that Gulie mentioned is behind that snow mountain. We have to cross it to get there,” Wan Yunting pointed to the snow mountain peak ahead.
“Ah, we have to cross it again…”
Zhang Xian’er complained. Zhou Ruoxi and Chen Qiuyun naturally said nothing, saying, “It’s getting late. Let’s find a place to spend the night first.”
“It’s over there ahead. The terrain is suitable for setting up tents for the night. Let’s go…”
With that, Wan Yunting led them over. They quickly set up two tents, one for Zhang Xian’er, and one for Zhou Ruoxi and Chen Qiuyun. Wan Yunting was responsible for keeping watch…
As night fell, Wan Yunting also lit a bonfire for warmth. The temperature in the mountain forest was very low, and it was very cold…
Zhang Xian’er had already retreated into the tent to sleep. Only Chen Qiuyun and Zhou Ruoxi, wrapped in down jackets, sat outside, keeping Wan Yunting company by the fire and chatting…
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing the man close his eyes and raise his eyebrows, Zhou Ruoxi asked.
Then Chen Qiuyun beside her said, “There’s someone in the distance!”
“Mm.”
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, “It’s the experts from the various sects watching us from the shadows, but they’re not getting close because they’re afraid we’ll discover them!”
Zhou Ruoxi nodded, knowing that people from the major sects had been following them.
“Ruoxi, Qiu Yun Jie, you two go inside and sleep. I’ll stand guard,” Wan Yunting said to them.
“I’ll keep you company.”
Zhou Ruoxi didn’t want to sleep. Chen Qiuyun got up and went into the tent.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing the woman leaning in his arms, holding his arm, Wan Yunting asked softly.
“Nothing, just a bit worried…”
Zhou Ruoxi felt uneasy, always feeling like something would happen.
Wan Yunting pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. As long as we find the Demon Pool, practice inside it, and activate the Demon Sword, according to what the old Celestial Master said, we can fight the Main God!”
Zhou Ruoxi nodded, but she raised her autumn eyes to look at the man and said, “But I’m still worried about the major sects…”
“Heh heh, you don’t need to worry about that even more.”
Wan Yunting looked down at her, gently stroking her beautiful hair with his hand, and said with a smile, “As long as our strength increases, the major sects will naturally not dare to provoke us again.”
“In this world, whoever has the strongest fist, they are the ones who uphold justice!”
“Mm…”
Zhou Ruoxi nodded and nestled her little head in Wan Yunting’s embrace, seemingly enjoying staying in his warm arms…
Before they knew it, she had fallen asleep in his arms. When she woke up, she let Wan Yunting go into the tent to rest.
Wan Yunting had something to tell Chen Qiuyun, so he also went into the tent, letting Zhou Ruoxi stand guard for a while…
Entering the tent, he saw that Chen Qiuyun had already taken off her coat and was lying on her side inside, asleep. But upon hearing the movement, she opened her beautiful eyes and saw that it was him…
“You’re not asleep yet?”
Wan Yunting came in. Facing Chen Qiuyun, who was born with a naturally alluring disposition, as her seductive techniques became more profound, a single glance from her could make one unbearable.
“Mm, I’m awake.”
Chen Qiuyun turned to face Wan Yunting, her beautiful eyes gazing at him, and said, “You’re not confident in your heart either, are you?”
Wan Yunting’s expression froze. He put his hand under his head, propping himself up, and lay down beside Chen Qiuyun, smiling, “Why do you say that?”
Chen Qiuyun also turned slightly to face him and said, “Although you pretended to be calm to comfort Ruoxi, I can see that you’re not confident in your heart.”
“Alas, nothing can escape Sister Qiuyun’s perception,” Wan Yunting smiled, his finger inadvertently brushing Chen Qiuyun’s nose…
Chen Qiuyun’s nostrils twitched, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wan Yunting’s gaze, and she said seriously, “Don’t be reckless. Staying alive is the most important thing!”
Wan Yunting nodded, his hand caressing Chen Qiuyun’s exquisitely beautiful face. He found that after practicing the seductive techniques, her appearance had become even more refined and beautiful than before. He smiled, “Don’t worry. Although I’m a bit unsure, I will definitely not carelessly throw my life away in this godforsaken place.”
“After all, I have you all. I don’t want to die!”
These words made Chen Qiuyun smile gently, but in Wan Yunting’s eyes, she was incomparably charming and alluring, making him unable to help but swallow.
Chen Qiuyun felt the man’s ardent gaze, so without a word, she took the initiative…
