Gu Yang opened his eyes, looking at a devout Lily kneeling on the ground, he asked, “What is it that you’re doing?”

Lily was clearly a little excited, jabbering in a strange language.

He turned to Qian Xiyun who was standing dumbstruck on the side, asking,

“Can you understand what she’s saying?”

Qian Xiyun looked at him with a peculiar gaze, swallowed, and said, “She seems to mistake you for some kind of ‘holy messenger’ of a sect called the Divine Bird Society. She wants you to return to the West Bank Continent to save their believers or something.”

Upon hearing that, she couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Gu, have you ever been to the West Bank Continent?”

“I haven’t.”

Gu Yang shook his head. He knew the problem likely traced back to his cultivation of the “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” technique.

As for this Divine Bird Society, it was probably the Phoenix Society. Qian Xiyun’s translation was slightly off.

He learned from the simulation that Lily had mistaken him for a holy messenger, so he decided to expose his True Essence, and sure enough, she bowed immediately.

He said to Lily, “Get up.”

She only then rose from the ground, her face respectful.

Gu Yang spoke, “I am not some holy messenger, you have mistaken me for someone else.”

However, Lily shook her head, continuing to jabber in her unintelligible language, interspersed with a few phrases in Great Zhou.

Gu Yang kind of understood, she seemed convinced it was him.

He tried to ask her a few questions, attempting to gain a clear understanding of a shaman’s cultivation methods.

Unluckily, due to the language barrier, communication was too difficult.

Qian Xiyun was equally helpless. Regarding the language of the West Bank Continent, she could only manage daily communication. When it came to professional terms, she was equally at a loss.

All Gu Yang could somewhat understand was the concept of ‘meditation.’

It seemed like they could only fully comprehend a shaman’s cultivation method once Lily had thoroughly learned the Great Zhou language.

Qian Xiyun said, “Actually, there are several shamans and mages in Jingzhou who come from the West Bank Continent. There are also a few priests. Their cultivation methods are drastically different from those of Great Zhou. They generally gain magic through meditation and communication with gods or the will of heaven and earth.”

In her words, she didn’t seem particularly impressed with that kind of cultivation method.

The martial arts of Great Zhou always involve introspection. It’s normal not to think highly of methods that involve seeking power from gods.

Gu Yang then asked Lily another question, “Why did you come to Great Zhou?”

Lily just began jabbering once more.

Qian Xiyun translated, “She said, she came here to look for a lost holy scripture.”

A holy scripture?

Couldn’t it be the “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” technique, could it?

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, Gu Yang dismissed it.

The “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” technique, although mysterious, is a legitimate martial arts technique. It couldn’t possibly originate from a foreign land.

When he further asked where that holy scripture had been lost, Lily shook her head to indicate she didn’t know.

If she didn’t even know where it was, they could only rely on luck now.

Feeling fairly rested, the three of them continued on their way.

This time around, Gu Yang easily gained a little sidekick, though Qian Xiyun did not seem bothered at all.

Afterward, Lily used a disguise spell, altering their appearance. They went into a town and bought three horses to speed up their journey.

In this way, they didn’t have to worry about revealing their identities and they could also gather some information.

Three days later, they arrived at a ferry crossing and saw a tea house by the roadside. Feeling thirsty, they stopped to order three cups of tea.

Conversations from two people in the martial arts world could be heard nearby.

“…Have you heard? The tenth beauty on the Beauty List, Miss Cao of the Cao family, has offered a reward of a million taels for the whereabouts of a man.”

Gu Yang’s action of taking a sip of water paused, his gaze flickering towards the two men.
