Chapter 426: Chapter 341: Return to Qingshan (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

"Alright, let’s go, First to White Emperor City. Recently, subordinates from Yan State reported that they had taken in a distressed young girl. When asked about her origin, she provided an interesting piece of intelligence. She said that her ancestors had once boarded a Night Navigation Ship, rumored to be a place where a Great Divine Ability User debated scriptures. After the death of this Great Divine Ability User, the ship seemingly became sentient, guiding fated individuals in the rivers within Daqian Territory to refine their Tao Heart. The girl mentioned that in recent years, the ship had been moving around in Shu, last seen near White Emperor City in Shu!"

"This rumor has piqued some interest in me, considering the level of realm one must reach in Martial Arts cultivation. Thinking about how this ship continued to travel the world after its master’s death, it’s quite incredible!"

The man in the Confucian Robe spoke of an intelligence, his eyes flashing with keen interest.

Upon saying this, he successfully shifted the attention of the other two men.

"Is there really such a strange tale?" The man wearing a hat, Yu Wenguang, turned his head, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes, "It seems Brother Fan hasn’t finished speaking."

"Indeed!" The Confucian Robe figure stroked his long beard, "I specifically inquired about this rumor everywhere, unraveling it layer by layer, and indeed made a small discovery."

"Rumor has it that, hundreds of years ago in the Land of Jianghuai, there was a Great Dragon Tiger Ability practitioner from the School of Legalism who had a ship consistent with this rumor. However, it’s been too long, and many specifics are unverifiable. I suspect that this ship became the Creation Land after that Dragon Tiger practitioner perished."

As he spoke, the last name Fan’s tone intensified, prompting Yu Wenguang and the bearded man beside him to instantly gleam with sharpness.

Dragon and Tiger Creation!

This was something that every Martial Vault aspired for, with each realm akin to a whole new level, many Martial Vaults spending their entire lives unable to even touch the mere surface of creation.

"Did elder brother say we need a token to enter this ship? Did elder brother manage to get it?"

The middle-aged man in the Confucian Robe smiled, shaking his head, "Naturally not, I heard from underlings that it is a lamp. The two of you better restrain your excitement, haha, this matter is elusive, and it’s just trying our luck. Anyway, things in Shu are constantly changing, since we are already here. Plus, if the Creation of Great Dragon Tiger Ability was that easy to encounter, there wouldn’t be anything left for us to do."

"Alright then, let’s go check it out!"

"Let’s go!"

Quickly, the three men transformed into streaks of light and disappeared from their spot.

But moments after they left, near the mountain peak, a golden light suddenly flashed in the void, and a golden silhouette stepped out from it.

As the golden light receded, Chen Yuan appeared!

It turned out he hadn’t left at all. He had only feigned departure, using the Dharma Eye Golden Light to conceal his figure, hiding in this place.

And the three men had no idea at all.

At this time, Chen Yuan wore a bizarre expression.

He had clearly overheard the entire conversation between the three men.

The three Martial Vaults, from the Worldly society of Yan Land, seemed to play roles like underworld bosses or perhaps rebels?

Chen Yuan wasn’t concerned about that. His thoughts were captured by the latter part of their conversation.

White Emperor City, Night Navigation Ship, Dragon and Tiger Creation...

It instantly reminded him of the time in Qingshan County when that strange ship appeared during the night. At that time, because of a bronze lamp, this mysterious ship had sucked in the souls of tens of thousands from Qingshan County, and he too was among them. By fortune through misfortune, relying on the telekinetic power of the citizens of Qingshan, he slew his own spawn of demonic thoughts, thereby breaking through the Heavenly Pass, bringing everyone back.

Reflecting on this incident after advancing in Martial Vault, even Chen Yuan, who occasionally recalled it, found it puzzling. With limited knowledge at the time, he hadn’t realized how bizarre the ship was. But reflecting later, just as the middle-aged Confucian Robe man had mentioned, to what realm one must reach, that even after the master’s death, the ship still sails freely in the rivers under night sky for who knows how many years, and could involve an entire county’s populace.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan thought of Qingshan County, remembered the old man selling liquor at the street corner, remembered his neighbors who often bickered...

Though he had only been away for a few months, it felt like years had passed, as if he hadn’t returned in a long time.

So much had happened along the way.

After this brief episode of awakening, Chen Yuan felt it was time to return, now that Shu was not peaceful, it was time to bring the old man to his side, ensuring his peaceful latter years.

Qingshan County was more than five thousand miles away from Tianxiong Pass, to the northeast of Jingguan City, which was along the way.

Moreover, now that the matter at Tianxiong Pass had been settled, news would quickly reach Jingguan City, and those unquiet characters were unlikely to cause trouble casually.

After thoroughly pondering, Chen Yuan shot forward, resolutely turning towards the direction of Qingshan County.

His speed was remarkable, filled with a sense of rushing home!

.......

This day, the wind and snow ceased, thousands of miles away, a small city nestled among mountains beside the angry river, was bustling with activity.

The city walls, built of green stones, were covered with frost, beneath the brand new city gate tower, the words "Qingshan" were inscribed.

But the Qingshan County now was completely different from half a year ago.

Inside the city, amidst the ice and snow, it remained noisy, the biggest change was outside the city, where buildings sprouted like bamboo shoots after a rain, flourishing everywhere.

Qingshan County had "expanded"!

Originally a remote county located in the northeast corner of Shu near the border of White Emperor City, it had now astonishingly become the foremost county outside the border.

All because, eight hundred miles away in Langdang Mountain, an important person had emerged.

Under the protection of this person’s fame, there were no demons harming people, and the citizens lived and worked in peace and happiness, with people from nearby counties coming here to settle down.

After all, many outside the border had experienced the chaos caused by Human Demons, and the one who initially eradicated this chaos came from Qingshan County. Thus, as time passed, more and more people came here to settle, building houses even outside the city, gradually forming a bustling market area.

This morning, along the icy and snowy mountain paths, a caravan of horse-drawn carriages entered the territory of Qingshan County.

These carriages, with luxurious canopies, were pulled by beasts resembling tigers and leopards with scales on their hides, baring their teeth, each possessing the strength of Profound Body Cultivation. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

It seemed the person in the carriages came from an extraordinary background, and it was unknown why they had come to this remote county amidst the snowy weather.

Following the caravan, at this moment, the curtain of one carriage was lifted.

"Squeak squeak"

A chirping noise sounded.

Then, a fluffy little head popped out.

This little creature had grey fur, with a thin strand of golden thread on its back, eyes like black gems twinkling spiritedly, squeaking curiously as though quite excited.

It was a plump golden-backed squirrel!

Very spirited!

And at that moment, beside the squirrel, a tuft of white fur also emerged.

Equally fluffy, it was a snow-white, beautifully colored little fox.

"Squeak squeak"

The little fox also made noises from its throat, whispering to the little squirrel as if they were conversing.

"You two little rascals, behave!"

Then from inside the carriage, a melodious female voice was heard.

Following that, the curtain was gently lifted by a fair hand as delicate as jade, revealing a face as beautiful as a lotus.

With almond-shaped eyes, willow leaf-shaped eyebrows, and a cherry lip, dressed in white, with three pink floral marks between her eyebrows.

This woman looked familiar, it was none other than Fang Qingzhu who had followed Chen Yuan on a mission to quell the rebellion at Tianxiong Pass, accompanying the army.

She and Chen Yuan had met by chance on the Night Navigation Ship because of the little squirrel, she had been trapped on the Night Navigation Ship for a year and a half, but later escaped and followed Chen Yuan all the way to Tianxiong Pass, where they parted outside the pass after a brief farewell.

And the little squirrel and the little fox, due to historical issues, followed this woman as they left.

"Qingshan County has arrived!"

At this moment, a voice rang out from the front of the caravan.
