Chapter 140: Taishan Encounters Danger!

  "Squeak!"

  Qiao'er stood on Xiao Yun's shoulder and called out to Ye Lan twice, but it was unclear whether she was responding to her words.

  "You'd better hurry back too!"

  Xiao Yun stepped on the stirrup and jumped onto the horseback, waving goodbye to Ye Lan, then whipped the horse and galloped away.

  "Xiao Da Ge, have a smooth journey!"

  Ye Lan raised her hand, until Xiao Yun's figure disappeared at the end of the mountain road, and then slowly put it down, standing still for a long time. At this moment, in Ye Lan's memory, time seemed to have stopped.

  ——

  Boya Mountain

  An old man walked into the bamboo house at the back of the mountain, "Is Master here?"

  Mu Tian'en lifted the curtain and walked out of the medicine room. Xie Tianxi stood beside the medicine rack, looking up at the words on the wall.

  "Looking for me about something?" Mu Tianen's face showed a hint of puzzlement, as Xie Tiangui rarely came to this place.

  Xie Tianxi nodded slightly, "News from Longcheng says that the ones who attacked Yuan Yi and took away Xiao Yun and Chu Yin were the outsiders of the Eagle White Brow's clan!"

  "Yu tribe?" Mu Tianen's eyebrows furrowed, his face turning extremely gloomy. "This group of demons, they're really going too far."

  Xie Tianxī let out a sigh, "Among the eighteen demon kings, Eagle White Brow is extremely poisonous and cunning, not an easy opponent. Moreover, Mo Tianling is also a high-ranking expert, we can't afford to provoke them!"

  Xie Tianxi's words were quite solemn, the eighteen demon kings of the demon tribe, even the Xia Emperor had to be cautious, let alone the small door and household of the Tianyin Sect. If it was an ordinary wandering spirit or scattered demon, they might still have the ability to avenge themselves, but since it involved the eighteen demon kings, such a huge force, they could only sigh in despair.

  "What strategy can be used against the Xia Emperor?"

  Mu Tian'en furrowed his brow and asked, although he was somewhat impulsive by nature, he wasn't reckless. He had a calm demeanor amidst action, and naturally knew how not to mess with Mo Tianling.

  Xie Tianxi shook his head, "The Emperor of Xia is busy with state affairs, and recently the Seventh Princess is getting married again, I'm afraid he won't have time to bother with our trivial matters!"

  Silence!

  "Tongyuan Dan will be ready soon. Once it's done, I'll personally go to Motian Ridge for a trip!" After a while, Mutian En said.

  And not to mention that Motian Ridge took away the innate music child who was heavily cultivated by Tianyin Sect, this kind of robbery in the middle of the road is simply a loud slap in the face of Tianyin Sect. Although Tianyin Sect is a small sect, it's not something that can be bullied by others. If they just swallow their anger and pretend nothing happened, how can they stand firm in Yunzhou Music Repair in the future?

  Furthermore, what would the disciples under his gate think? A sect that can't even protect its own disciples, and when bullied still has to endure, how can it make its disciples feel at ease in their cultivation?

  "Big Brother!" Xie Tianci opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him.

  "Mount Tianling humiliated us, Xia Huang can do nothing, we can't swallow our breath, relying on this Lutong Yuandan, my strength can be upgraded again. Mount Tianling is treacherous, but with my strength, I am not worried about self-protection." said Mu Tian'en.

  "Senior brother, Motian Ridge is a place where masters gather like clouds. It's said that the Yu tribe also has a powerful expert from the Youxian realm stationed there..." Xie Tianxi also knew in his heart that this matter couldn't be easily glossed over, but he was even more aware that if Mu Tian'en really went to Motian Ridge to demand an explanation, it would definitely be extremely perilous. If something unexpected happened, the Tianyin sect's influence would necessarily decline even further.

  Mu Tian'en waved his hand, and a hint of ruthless glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. "Don't forget, I'm your senior brother who's an expert in using poison. This time, we must make Mo Tianling pay the price!"

  Xie Tianci remained silent for half a day and did not speak again to persuade him, but his mood became increasingly heavy. "How much longer until the Tongyuan Dan is complete?"

  "It's almost two more months!" Mu Tian'en said.

  ……

  ——

  All the way through smoke and dust, even the wispy clouds didn't know the road, they just relied on feeling to walk. Zhuan Zhu had said that after leaving Tongtian Mountain, as long as they kept heading north, they could enter Xia Guo's Huangzhou. They walked and stopped, traveling for two days, until finally arriving at the border between Xia Liang and Er Guo.

  A majestic mountain blocked Xiao Yun's path, and from the mouths of nearby villagers, he learned that this mountain in front of him had a name that was very familiar to Xiao Yun, one of the Five Great Mountains, Mount Tai!

  In the Leixiu continent, many places make Xiao Yun feel like he has been there before. There are not only the Five Great Mountains here, but also the majestic Yellow River and Yangtze River, and so on, and so on...

  Xiao Yun didn't know if this Mount Tai had any connection with the Mount Tai on Earth, but the grandeur of this great mountain was in no way inferior to the one he had climbed before. The Mount Tai in front of him was Dongyue, the easternmost of the five sacred mountains of China, and Xia Liang had also passed by this mountain.

  Mount Tai and Donglanshan mountain ranges stretch across, the nearby villagers told Xiao Yun that as long as you pass Mount Tai, it's not far to Xia Guo Pingyangguan, once inside the pass, it's the territory of Xia Guo.

  Looking up, the main peak of Jade Emperor Peak has half of its body protruding into the clouds. The height of Mount Tai is absolutely unimaginable. Several large birds are circling under the clouds, and it can be said that even the Yellow Crane cannot fly over, and the apes want to cross but are anxious to climb.

  It would take two days to cross Mount Tai, but the villagers at the foot of Mount Tai pointed out a shortcut to Xiao Yun. It should be possible to cross it in half a day, and maybe you can find accommodation in Pingyang City in the evening.

  One hand holding the reins, Xiao Yun followed the mountain path to climb Mount Tai. Because the mountain road was difficult to travel, local villagers had excavated a shortcut on the mountain over generations of effort. Below Yu Huang Peak, there was a small gorge; passing through it would save a lot of time and avoid having to laboriously climb over Yu Huang Peak.

  "Squeak!"

  Qiao'er was jumping around on Xiao Yun's shoulder, occasionally flying out to catch a couple of insects to eat. Xiao Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "What? Hungry again?"

  "Squeak!"

  Qiao'er was happily calling by Xiao Yun's ear, the clear and crisp sound echoing through the mountains and forests, exceptionally pleasant to the ear, and Xiao Yun's mood also greatly improved.

  "It seems that in the future, I'll have to teach you how to speak first!" Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Miao Yin Shen Niao, it shouldn't be difficult for you to learn how to talk, right?"

  She looked up and gazed in the direction of Mount Tai's summit, Xiao Yun couldn't help but be shocked by the grandeur and majesty of this great mountain. "This mountain is so lofty and steep, I wonder if there are any ferocious beasts?"

  Although it is difficult for humans to encounter demons, it does not mean that they do not exist. In many deep mountains and old forests, demon tracks can still be found, and some powerful demon cultivators even hide in the human world to live. As one of the Five Great Mountains, it's not surprising if there are demons on Mount Tai.

  In the dense forest, Xiao Yun instinctively avoided it. Even if there were no demons on this mountain, ordinary ferocious beasts would not be absent. If they encountered one, it would take some effort to deal with it.

  The terrain at the foot of Mount Tai is not steep, and it's not difficult to walk. After walking for more than two hours, I finally arrived at the valley that my fellow villager told me about.

  The canyon is very deep, with the Jade Maiden Peak on one side and the Hundred Foot Cliff on the other. The two mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, as if they were split open by a large axe. The cold and steep cliff has few trees, only a few welcoming cypress trees appear and disappear in the misty clouds.

  A winding road over two meters wide runs through the canyon, with moss and weeds growing all over it, apparently rarely used by people.

  In the canyon, there was a layer of faint mist, giving people a feeling of being very quiet and deep. Leading the horse into the canyon, Xiao Yun carefully observed the surroundings, with steep cliffs on both sides and the horse blocking the back. At this moment, if a monster were to suddenly appear, he really didn't know where to escape to.

  "Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!"

  Qiao'er suddenly jumped onto Xiao Yun's head, her feet constantly scratching and clawing at Xiao Yun's hair as she wailed loudly.

  "Hey, what's going on?"

  Xiao Yun hastily pulled Qiao down, and Qiao's sudden abnormal behavior made him feel somewhat uneasy.

  Is there danger?

  It shouldn't be, right? This path is often taken by villagers nearby, I won't be so unlucky as to encounter a monster, will I?

  "Ah..."

  A shrill and mournful cry suddenly echoed through the valley, and as he looked around, not a single figure was in sight. Xiao Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger.

  Qiao Er became even more frantic, the mournful cries rapidly approaching, Xiao Yun hastily looked around, and finally figured out where the sound was coming from, that voice was above his head.

  He suddenly looked up and saw that in the midst of the clouds and mist on the mountain, a black thing had suddenly emerged from the direction of the hundred-foot cliff, rapidly falling down, and the place where it fell was exactly where Xiao Yun was standing.
