Chapter 239 Chunyang Daoist Pagoda (1/2)

Within this dense forest in the deep mountains, there were still tiny hills. Right in front was the col of the mountain. There were lesser forest woods and rickety grotesque rocks of jagged shapes scattered all around.

Some of these grotesque rocks were as big as a slope, the smaller ones would require numerous people to encircle it.

Between the rocks, there were tall and solid giant trees in the bigger gaps. The small gaps were infested with green shrubs and unknown wild grass.

It looked to be in disorder, but it was rather tranquil without the wind.

Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu stopped in their tracks at the same time and continued their conversation. Shen Lian muttered to himself, ”It seems LIKE someone came here earlier than us.”

Zhao Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes narrowed. With her sleeves extended and with one wave, a gust of wind blew forth as she murmured, ”Correct, this sizable formation seems to be trapping something. Could it be that this person who placed this formation is also capturing the Fengsheng Beast?”

The strong wind dispersed from the wave of her sleeve. It may seem insouciant but even the giant trees which required numerous people to encircle it could be blown away by this wind. However, when the strong gust of wind reached the mountain col, it got dispelled without a trace and a vast white mist rose. It spread open and everything seemed hazy.

Shen Lian was very clear that Zhao Xiaoyu had activated some kind of prohibition, which caused the formation to self-defend. At the same time, it was also some kind of distress signal.

As expected, a man and woman came out from the white mist quickly. Their hair was in a bun and their tight clothing was part black and part white. They held long blades and came riding in on the wind.

Both their backgrounds were unknown and their cultivation experiences were extensive. They seemed very young. Of course, it was hard to judge just how old they were. After all, there were too many methods for a cultivator to keep their appearances young.

The two quickly came near. The woman first glanced at Zhao Xiaoyu. Perhaps, even cultivators would pay more attention to ladies with outstanding looks and temperament.

Zhao Xiaoyu only smiles and she did not use any mana.

The woman then only noticed Shen Lian, while the man beside her had already seen Shen Lian earlier. Both of them were about thirty feet away. It was neither too near nor too far.

”This area has been cast a formation by the Chunyang Daoist Palace. My two friends, kindly make a detour to the left and walk a hundred miles.” The one who spoke was the man. He was unhurried as he brought out the Chunyang Daoist Palace title, followed by asking both Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu to make a detour.

The woman, however, coldly stared at the two. There was a sword aura concealed inside her, as though she would strike if both of them do not agree.

Shen Lian was about to say something when Zhao Xiaoyu pulled Shen Lian's hand. Gently, she said, ”Thank you for your friendly reminder, we will leave immediately.”

The man smiled and replied softly, ”That is good.”

He also did not apologize, as though it was perfectly justifiable for Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu to make a detour.

Shen Lian knew that Zhao Xiaoyu would not say those things without any reason so he waited and see. As Zhao Xiaoyu pulled him along, they quickly went far away and disappeared from both the man and woman's line of sight.

The Chunyang Daoist Palace female disciple watched the two leave and said, ”From the way I see it, these two would not simply walk away.”
