Chapter 272 Shifokou (1/2)

Zhao Xiaoyu brushed her scattered hair on her forehead, looking amazingly gorgeous as she stared into the horizon. The light breeze blew as if it was going to flick her dress open. Her delicate heels showered under the moonlight, triggering one's impulse to bow and worship it.

She was filled with grace, yet Shen Lian remained motionless without a hint of desire.

Zhao Xiaoyu sighed lightly, ”Tianxiang Order is actually not worth mentioning, but there has been a mysterious character that holds power in Tianxiang Order lately. Besides her high level of mana, her origin is what fears me.”

Shen Lian asked, ”What origin?”

”My three undercovers in Tianxiang Order were found by her, and then seduced by her to betray me. If it wasn't for my recent improvements in spiritual cultivation, I would have been injured by them. But as I observed from her techniques, they should be along the lines of Qingqiu”, Zhao Xiaoyu sneered. Out of the countless dangerous scenarios she had been in, this one was nothing, but after what she suffered, she decided that she could not take this in and defeat both her and Tianxiang Order, since both originated from Luo Sect.

Shen Lian murmured slightly. Qingqiu was said to be a celestial mountain since the ancient beginning. However slightly different to the celestials who lived in other elusive celestial mountains like Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, the occupants of Qingqiu were those of the fox clans. The divine fox which he had learned the Tongtian Skills from, was, in fact, originated from the mountainous region of Qingqiu.

”There is rarely anyone emerging from Qingqiu nowadays. Even if those were techniques from Mount Qingqiu, she may not necessarily be from Qingqiu,” Shen Lian replied. He was not lying either, since he himself learned the Tongtian Skills from the divine fox.

”That could be true, but her seduction skills could only be cultivated by the fox clans, or could even be accessible only by those who had reached the level of a divine fox.” As Zhao Xiaoyu described this, she had let out a little secret.

Her understanding of the secrets of this world genuinely surpassed Shen Lian's expectation. When they first met, Shen Lian was certain that the Zhao Xiaoyu back then did not know so well about these secrets. He could almost deduce that Zhao Xiaoyu had extraordinary ability inherited in her, even comparable to the foundation of the four main Daoist sects.

Since the ancient times, there had been multiple sudden appearances of gods and celestials, sermons, and visions.From the Daoist cultivation of heavenly sons to the uprising of various sects, all these were signs of the unpredictable rising development of civilization. It was only recently when Shen Lian was certain that this piece of land had a large connection with earth from his past life.

Zhao Xiaoyu might have inherited from a powerful person and helped her grow exponentially.

However, the attainment of the path to immortality was still reliant on oneself. From the beginning, there were only a few ways that could help achieve immortality, but these kinds of encounters were really hard to come by, maybe once in ten thousand years.

Shen Lian said, ”Then, let me follow you there.”

Shifokou was situated in the middle of the Yuan Continent. Many years ago, a stone Buddha statue fell from the skies, with its back against the cliff and placed at the intersection of three main rivers, right on top of the water vein, hence the name; 'Shifo' means Stone Buddha, while 'Kou' means crossing.

The main altar of Tianxiang Order was hidden somewhere in Shifokou.

Along the way, Shen Lian asked, ”You said to cause trouble there. Why aren't you bringing any follower with you?”

Zhao Xiaoyu chuckled, ”A great expert like you have the strength of millions of celestial soldiers. You, my great Chief Master, has been in and out of Taisu Sect alone. If we are any more than that, we would be thought as being weak.”

Shen Lian's face turned sour as he coughed.

On the other hand, Ruoxi checked out her surroundings curiously. Since she had not been out play for such a long time, she was delighted to be wandering with her uncle, only slightly unadapted to the addition of this older sister, Zhao Xiaoyu.

At this moment, Shen Lian's face turned slightly pale yellow, a bit like a thirty-year-old. Zhao Xiaoyu was wearing a face veil to cover her stunningly beautiful face, whereas little Ruoxi looked like a blooming teenager at a marriageable age, making them like a good family of three.

Some girls get married at young age, therefore it was not surprising to see a lady at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight with a ten-year-old daughter.

It was not that three of them had lost the ability to fly, but it was Shen Lian's suggestion to walk, all because Ruoxi had not walked in the mortal world for a long time. Shen Lian knew that she still enjoyed the feeling of strolling, hence the suggestion.

In the meantime, Ruoxi can practice her Qi utilization along the way.
