“Young Master Han, Young Master Chen Luo…” Seeing Chen Luo, Zhong Yuan’s expression changed slightly.
He didn’t expect to encounter two of the four Heavenly Pride of Huaibei here!
And among them, Chen Luo was the foremost of the Four Heavenly Talents, a true son of heaven!
“Your team, there are only so many people left?” Han Qi said with a sarcastic smile on his face.
“Could it be that Young Master Han hasn’t encountered… a curse?” Zhong Yuan swallowed nervously and asked.
“A curse?” Han Qi was taken aback, then smiled and said, “Zhong Shao, you mean someone suddenly turned into a mummy?”
“Well, you guys have encountered that too, haven’t you?” Zhongyuan asked.
“We did encounter it, but this isn’t a curse.” Han Qi smiled coldly, shaking the paper fan in his hand. “Based on my discussion with Brother Chen, we believe this is the power of an ancient prohibition! This White River Mountain should be the forbidden ground of some ancient tribe!”
The forbidden zone of an ancient clan?
Zhong Yuan and others’ faces changed.
“Yes, those villagers from down the mountain can freely go up the hill and won’t be affected because they are descendants of that tribe. Due to blood ties, they won’t trigger the restrictions here…” Han Qi continued, “But as outsiders, from the moment we enter Bai Chuan Mountain, we will be locked by the restrictions, and the power of the restrictions could be triggered at any time.”
Upon hearing Han Qi’s words, Zhong Yuan’s face paled. He asked, “Then, Young Master Han… is there a way to contact the restrictions?”
Han Qi smiled slightly, a playful glint in his eyes, and said, “Zhong Shao ah, even if I had a way, I wouldn’t tell you.”
Zhongyuan’s face changed.
“From the moment you entered Baichuan Mountain, you became my competitor for the Spirit Spring. I wish for you to die, so how could I possibly tell you the way to break it?” Han Qi said coldly.
“Speaking of which, I took another look at Chen Luo and smiled lightly. “Besides, you’re not really my type. Otherwise, I would be happy to help you out.”
Zhong Yuan’s face darkened, and he was about to speak.
“This is Fang Yu, who became famous yesterday after defeating the Martial Venerable Gu Rulong at Yuexin Lake, right?” At this time, Chen Luo looked at Fang Yu and asked.
After entering Baichuan Mountain, Han Qi kept talking incessantly by his side, even mentioning the rumor of Fang Yu he had encountered in the village.
Chen Luo came to Jiangnan this time just to see Fang Yu, but he didn’t expect to actually meet him.
“Yes, Master Chen Luo… he is Master Fang.” Zhong Yuan replied hurriedly.
Fang Yu looked at Chen Luo, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Chen Luo’s body emanated a faint scent of ancient times.
This is very strange, Chen Luo looks very young, he shouldn’t be giving off this kind of aura.
Is it caused by the cultivation method, or…
At the same time, Chen Luo was also sizing up Fang Yu.
With his many years of experience in judging people, he couldn’t see anything special about Fang Yu that stood out.
Whether it was his aura or his physical body, he was extremely ordinary, perfectly matching the appearance of a congenital warrior.
Looking at it, Fang Yu doesn’t seem to be a strong person.
In his previous life, Chen Luo had encountered a remarkable individual who, despite possessing only the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage, had fought against a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage. Although his cultivation realm was not high, his physical body had reached a monstrous level. At a glance, one could see the muscles on his body taut like those of a diamond statue.
But Fang Yu’s figure was quite thin, and at first glance, it was obvious that he wasn’t a cultivator of physical arts.
However, Chen Luo had cultivated for over a thousand years in his previous life and knew well the saying that one should not judge a book by its cover.
Although Fang Yu seemed ordinary, Chen Luo still kept an eye on him.
Of course, after seeing the real person, Fang Yu’s threat level in his heart inevitably decreased a lot.
“That’s best, otherwise I’d have to put more thought into dealing with him.” Chen Luo thought.
“How about it, Brother Chen? I told you yesterday’s incident in Jiangnan was just a rumor, didn’t I?” Han Qi glanced at Fang Yu and smiled faintly.
Chen Luo remained silent, his eyes indifferent, and he no longer paid attention to Fang Yu.
His only goal now is the Spirit Spring!
“He left.”
Chen Luo walked in one direction.
He trusted his instincts, believing the spring was just beyond this direction.
“Wait for me!” Han Qi hurried to catch up.
Noticing that Han Qi was following him, Chen Luo’s eyes flashed a hint of coldness.
<<>>
……
Watching Chen Luo’s gradually fading back, Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.
This person gave him a strange feeling.
However, Fang Yu didn’t take it to heart.
He looked at Zhongyuan and said, “If you’re not going to keep moving forward, just turn back.”
After that, Fang Yu turned and walked in the opposite direction from Chen Luo’s choice.
“Come on, brother,” Zhongliyu said to Zhongyuan, quickly following him.
Zhongyuan gritted his teeth and followed.
……
After another twenty minutes, the white mist that had been swirling around us almost completely dissipated.
Fang Yu and his group could finally see the surroundings clearly.
At this moment, they were on a narrow mountain path, with sheer cliffs and rubble on either side. There was nothing else to be seen.
The entire space was very quiet, the only sound being the rustling of their feet as they walked.
“Master Fang, don’t you think we’ve taken a wrong turn? We’ve been walking for so long and haven’t seen anything,” Zhong Yuan asked.
Fang Yu did not speak.
“Oh well, if only I had followed Young Master Chen Luo and Young Master Han just now. They might have already found the Spirit Spring by now.” Zhong Yuan sighed again, saying.
Now his whole attitude is very negative, and he doesn’t even think about finding the Spirit Spring anymore. He just wants to leave this place as soon as possible.
Fang Yu still didn’t speak.
After walking for a while longer, Zhong Yuan couldn’t hold back any longer and said, “Even Tianjiao like Han Qi and Chen Luo have arrived, how could it be our turn to reach the Lingquan? It’s better if we turn back and continue deeper into the danger zone.”
Fang Yu turned his head, looked at Zhong Yuan, and said expressionlessly: “I’ve told you before, if you don’t want to go deeper, you can leave anytime.”
Zhong Yuan’s face shifted, wanting to retort.
He couldn’t stand it anymore! He thought Fang Yu was completely unreliable!
Two elders of the Zhong family just turned into mummies, Fang Yu had no warning at all, and was as clueless as they were, let alone protecting them!
Not only that, but now they’re being led astray and can’t even find the spring!
The Spring might have already been discovered by Chen Luo and Han Qi!
The Zhong family suffered the loss of two elders at the Grandmaster realm, yet gained nothing in return. This outcome, not to mention if Zhong Yuan would accept it, his father absolutely would not!
After going back, I’m definitely going to be criticized and punished.
The more Zhong Yuan thought about it, the more indignant he became. He transferred all his dissatisfaction and resentment to Fang Yu.
“Master Fang, we have a cooperative relationship with you…” Zhong Yuan said with an unpleasant expression.
But before he could finish his words, he was pulled back by Zhongli Yu.
Zhongli Yu used his eyes to stop Zhong Yuan, don’t say any more!
Fang Yu ignored Zhong Yuan and continued walking forward.
According to his feeling, the Spirit Spring should be just nearby.
After walking about three hundred meters forward, we finally walked out of the narrow mountain path before.
And before them stood a sheer cliff, about fifty meters high, looking like a towering wall.
“I told you Li Yu wasn’t reliable, didn’t I? Look at this, we walked so far and ended up on a dead end.” Zhong Yuan complained.
“Young Master, this isn’t a dead end…” A elder spoke up at that moment.
“What?” Zhong Yuan’s face changed slightly.
“Look, on the top of this steep cliff, isn’t there a footprint?” The elder said, his eyes filled with excitement.
Zhong Yuan took a closer look and sure enough, he saw quite a few footprints.
“This means that someone has climbed this sheer cliff…There must be something up there!” the Elder said.
“The spring… it might be up there!” Another elder said in a grave voice.
“Bang!”
No sooner had they spoken than a loud crash was heard.
Fang Yu, from the front, jumped up.
A fractured crater appeared on the ground where he had been standing.
Zhongyuan and several others’ faces changed.
“We hurried up there, too…”
……
After a steep ascent, there was a cave in front of me. It was pitch black inside and I could see nothing.
Fang Yu walked in without hesitation.
The inside of the cave was a narrow passage, nothing special about it.
Fang Yu strode forward and quickly saw the light.
Walk slowly forward, the light grows brighter and brighter…
Passing through the narrow passage inside the cave, Fang Yu arrived at a small haven.
