C125 (1/2)
Wu Yu couldn't help but be astonished as he followed the crowd through the mountains and saw the endless forests of the Sky Region.
”The world is big, my knowledge is still too little.” He couldn't help but sigh.
From a distance, the Sky Region Forest looked endless. The most important thing was that the trees inside were all thick and tall. Almost every single one of them could be considered to be a single tree.
Once they entered the 'Celestial Forest', they would be no different from ants crawling their way in.
On many trees, perhaps even a village could be built.
Even the shrubs and forests below were very dense, thick, and separated by layers. Their line of sight was less than a hundred feet.
The scenery in front of him was a deep green, without end, with no end in sight.
Of course, in such a vast forest, there would definitely be countless rare and precious beasts living there. There might even be some that had become demons and monopolized the Sky Region Forest.
Snow Wind Cliff and Lan Huayun had escorted everyone here. Based on their cautious attitude, they basically confirmed that no outsider had noticed their operation.
In truth, it was this endless forest that blocked the communication between more than ten celestial countries and the other celestial countries, making this land a sealed area on the edge of the East Demon Spirit Sea.
After roughly an hour, it would be hard for him to grasp the right direction. In the depths of the forest, it was dark like night due to the dense branches and leaves which made it difficult for light to pass through. The air was filled with the smell of rotting roots and corpses of animals.
There was always a feeling of wetness inside.
”We'll part here then.” Snowy Snow Cliff and Lan Huayun turned around, their eyes indifferently staring at the crowd.
Elder Shentu said, ”Sect Master, Sect Master, we can't leave you behind at any time. Leave this place to this old man. You should return as soon as possible.”
”Alright.” They didn't hesitate.
”All of you, listen to Elder Shentu. All of you, listen to Elder Shentu. All of you, listen to Elder Shentu. All of you, listen to what he says. Do you understand?” Snow Wind Cliff warned as it looked at the crowd with a stern expression.
Everyone nodded.
Finished speaking, the Snow Wind Cliff and Lan Huayun looked at each other for a moment, then turned around and left.
In the instant they turned around, the expression in their eyes changed. There was a hint of sadness and reluctance in their eyes.
However, Wu Yu and the others couldn't see it.
Elder Shentu looked at the crowd as he narrowed his eyes: ”Alright, just follow me. We want a high intensity and high concealment. Anyone who can't keep up with us will have to tell me.”
He seemed to be in a hurry, so after he finished speaking, he passed through the forest in front of him and hurried through the dense forest.
”Follow me.” ”Let's go!”
It should be because of his safety that he and Lan Liu-Li walked at the back.
Lan Shuiyue was the slowest in the team, so the team's speed depended on her speed.
The group was divided into a few smaller groups. Wu Yu, Su Yan Li, and Mo Shishu followed closely behind Elder Shentu. Zhao Changtian and Yi Qingfeng stood on the left and right of Lan Shuiyue.
Wu Yu could feel Lan Shuiyue's eyes behind her. She was paying attention to him from time to time, but she spent more time silently hurrying on her way.
Su Yan Li's body was emitting a delicate fragrance, causing one to forget about the rotten smell of the old forest in the mountains. Turning her head to the side, one could see her beautiful white face, her long hair and white skirt fluttering in the wind, like a beauty in a painting.
”Wu Yu.” As Su Yan Li hurried on her way, she suddenly called out to him.
”Senior Sister, what's wrong?”
Wu Yu woke up from his trance.
Su Yan Li pursed her lips and said with doubt in her eyes, ”This matter happened too fast, and I keep having the feeling that something is amiss. I quite understand Master, why didn't I know that he had an old friend in the Eastern Imperial City? ”
At the side, Mo Shishi replied, ”Junior Sister, you are overthinking things. Old Man Feng is not young either, it's normal for him to have some friends that we don't know. Right now, the Heavenly Sword Sect is in a life or death situation, no matter how far away they are, they still have to go to ask for it.”
Mo Shishi's words weren't unreasonable.
Wu Yu had only been here for a short period of time, so he didn't understand much about the Snow Wind Cliff. An idea came to him, and he said: ”Let's ask Elder Shentu.”
”Alright.”
The three of them quickened their pace, trying their best to catch up to Elder Shentu who was leading the way. Su Yan Li asked softly, ”Elder, what is the name of the person we went to look for in the Eastern Imperial City?”
Elder Shentu was startled, and after a long while, he said: ”His name is Zhang … ”Adept.”
”Daoist Master Zhang?”
The three of them had indeed never heard of this name before.
Elder Shentu said: ”I heard that we're not far off from you, so we definitely have a chance of winning. Otherwise, why would we take such a risk to the Eastern Imperial City? Rest assured. ”
It was as if he didn't want to talk too much, so he answered half-heartedly.
”Let's hurry on our way and wait for the rest time. We'll talk about the details later.”
”Alright.”
Wu Yu and the others looked at each other in dismay, but didn't ask any further questions.
If they traveled like this, they would naturally tire. After half a day, Lan Shuiyue's mana had already been depleted. She was panting heavily, and was no longer able to keep up. The others were similar.
Even though Wu Yu's mana was also at the 4th level of the Qi Condensation stage, his recovery was fast, and his flesh and blood were limitless. Thus, his mental state was much better than Mo Shishu and the rest.
