Chapter 1196: Chapter Ninety-Five North Cloud Continent

At midnight, the moon was as cool as water.

The gong for the hour of Xu had already struck in the deep alley, and there were no more people walking around in the Leling Marquis' Mansion. Chu Xun walked slowly and came straight to the outer room of the study. Then he turned around and took the candlestick from the servant, whispered to the man to go down and wait, and then he stepped into the inner room, holding the candle light.

In the room, Leling Hou had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Chu Xun coming in, he slowed down his voice and asked, "Is Daoist Master Qin settled?"

Chu Xun nodded and replied, "We have already cleaned up the villa in Songzhu Lane for Taoist Priest Qin to practice meditation. However, the Taoist priests who were previously settled in the villa seem unhappy to hear that they are going to move elsewhere."

Hearing this, Leling Hou sneered and waved his hands, mockingly saying, "Compared to the abilities of this Taoist priest Qin, those few people are nothing. They always talk about the people, but when the evil people of the Ten Perfect Sect were in chaos, they didn't help them. As a father, I used money and food to support them, but I raised a bunch of parasites. Sigh, it's better not to mention it, it's better not to mention it!"

He then recalled that Qin Yuke, Chu Xun and others had come to his house in the daytime, shocking all the servants. As for the ability to walk in the sky and easily move so many carriages and horses, Leling Hou had only seen them in the Taoists of the Zhuxuan Sect. Moreover, they were not ordinary disciples, but elders of the sect who even the king of a country had to treat with courtesy. Just based on this point, Leling Hou did not think that those who were seeking fame and reputation could be compared with this Taoist Qin.

After hurriedly taking over the matter, Leling Hou picked up another secret letter and handed it to Chu Xun without hesitation, frowning and saying, "This is a secret report sent from the capital yesterday, saying that the Zhu Xuan Sect has again asked the court for tribute. This time, they want more than a thousand pounds of various spiritual ointments and precious jades, and they also want to recruit three thousand civilians to repair the Qionghua Temple."

The contents of the words were mentioned in more detail in the secret letter, which made Chu Xun even more frightened. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Don't my Shaoyun country and this sect provide it once a year? It's not even the end of the year yet, why are you asking for it again? Three thousand people would be fine, but the thousand kilograms of spiritual ointment requires tens of thousands of people to make it, and it can only be produced once every six months. Even if you ask for it now, how can I give it to you!"

Leling Hou looked solemn, but signaled Chu Xun not to speak loudly, saying, "Father has his own secret agents in the capital, and I heard that the treasures and wealth seized by Zhu Xuan Sect in the past few years are enough to match the amount in the past few decades. The reason for this seems to be that something happened in Zhu Xuan Sect. Although it is not a matter of life and death, it is still very dangerous."

Although Chu Xun disliked the style of Zhu Xuan Sect, when he heard that the sect was in a dangerous situation, he changed his expression and said, "My Shaoyun State is located between Zhi and Jing. If the Zhu Xuan Sect falls..."

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows, just to avoid death. Since the Zhu Xuan faction can't be relied on, you can't blame me, Shao Yun, for looking for other pillars!" Leling Hou's face darkened and he said in a stern voice.

……

The sky is vast and endless.

Two months had passed since Zhao Yu's clone flew out of Wuquan Mountain. He had stopped and walked for a long time. During the journey, he saw many small countries. There were even countries whose entire land was not as large as Leling County. It was so desolate and barren that he could not even ask about the affairs of the immortals.

Only when he changed his direction and headed north did he see a vast country with harmonious people. Zhao Yu then landed and asked around, only then did he know that he had arrived at Xuan State, which was the most powerful country within a radius of ten thousand miles. However, unlike Shao Yun, there were no Taoist sects in this country. Even if there were temples, they were all under the control of the court, unlike the Zhu Xuan Sect, which was above the royal power in Shao Yun.

Xuan State was already in the extreme north. If one went further north, there would be a continuous stretch of snow-capped mountains, with peaks reaching into the sky. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to survive in such a bitter and cold land. This scene reminded Zhao Yu of the land in the upper realm, where a river separated ordinary people from powerful monks. He wondered if the snowy land in front of him also had such an effect.

Suddenly, her eyes settled, and she turned into clouds and smoke and descended. She saw a group of people in carriages and pedestrians coming over. They were all wearing cloaks to keep warm and did not look like poor people.

Seeing someone coming from the front, a figure flew out from the convoy and shouted to Zhao Yu in the wind and snow: "Who is here?"

Zhao Yu walked forward and saw that this person had already reached the level of Condensed Yuan Cultivation, but he was still serving as a vanguard for others. She knew that the people behind this caravan were not simple people. She also saw that someone was holding a large flag with the Xuan Kingdom logo that she had seen when she came. She was moved and said to the person, "I am a casual cultivator. I accidentally lost my way. May I ask where my fellow Taoist Shao Yun Kingdom is located? What territory is this?"

The man didn't see Zhao Yu's appearance, but only heard the voice coming faintly from the snow. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Shaoyun is located in the southeast, how did you come to Tianshan?"

However, he thought that Zhao Yu and those casual cultivators had the same idea, so he snorted again, "It's not the time for Beiyunzhou to open yet. It's useless for you to come now. Those sects don't accept all disciples. It's freezing here. I advise you to go back early!"

  Beiyunzhou?

Zhao Yu secretly took note of this, thinking that the area was most likely where the cultivators from the Zhongyin Realm traveled. It was only because of the Tianshan Mountains mentioned by this person that the common people knew little about it.

Looking up, the Tianshan Mountain towered into the clouds, and the top was almost invisible. However, ordinary natural barriers could not stop the monks from passing through. Unlike the upper realm, there were no mountain and river gods here, so it was probably the people of Beiyunzhou who set up a barrier here. Zhao Yu only knew the basics of this, and it was not impossible to break this formation with brute force, but if he did so, he was afraid that the entire Beiyunzhou would be turned upside down.

She and Qin Yuke have been cautious since they entered this world. This is because the demon species is not a dead thing, but is well versed in the strategy of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. If Zhao Yu wants to eradicate it, the first thing is to find its location first. Before that, she doesn't want to be noticed by the evil creature.

Seeing that Zhao Yu had not responded for a long time, the man thought that she came to enter Beiyun Continent. When he was about to step forward to investigate, the figure suddenly disappeared in the wind and snow, and there was no trace of her anymore.

  "What a strange thing." He muttered to himself, turned back to the caravan, and reported the matter to the master. Then he heard the order from his superior:

"She is just a casual cultivator. No matter how powerful she is, she can't get past Tianshan. It's better not to meddle in other people's business. Hurry up and deliver the things to His Highness so that His Highness can get a chance to receive the medicine this time."

The wheels squeaked twice in the snow, then rolled forward again.

As for the clone, it turned around and headed southeast. Not many hours later, Qin Yuke, who was sitting cross-legged in the house, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, pushed the door and welcomed the person in.
