C56 (1/2)

The night was an ordinary night. In the sky, there were stars, moons, and clouds. Sometimes the stars would enter the clouds, and sometimes, the moon would enter the clouds.

On the eastern mountains, on the unmarked cemetery, a white figure flashed by.

If someone happened to pass by, they would probably be scared half to death by the shadow. After all, it was very easy to let one's imagination run wild in such a situation.

Of course, that white shadow was not some ghost or fox fairy or monster. It was Leng Jun who liked to wear white.

The slip of paper that Leng Jun saw only mentioned the location but did not mention the time. Helpless, he had no choice but to leave for this place where no one was allowed to enter.

To Leng Jun, figuring out the origin of the other party was one thing. The second was the Crystal Sword. Although he was temporarily unable to use it, he still felt that there was a connection between the sword and the elemental energy that he had cultivated. It was impossible for him to just randomly lose it.

Leng Jun arrived at the highest point of the mountain range and looked around. He saw that the surrounding area was filled with burial mounds of varying sizes and piles of messy rock and grass. There wasn't even a single tree on the hill. There were only bones scattered everywhere, but he didn't know if these bones were human or animal. Occasionally, a ghostly blue flame would jump out of the bones and float in the air with the wind, making people feel terrified.

The entire hill could be seen at a glance. Other than the occasional few wild dogs that would search for food, there were also the shadows of other people. Not to mention humans, there wasn't even a place to hide them.

Leng Jun wanted to shout a few times to see if the person who left the word for him was nearby. But before he could call out, a faint voice came from the surroundings: ”You're Leader of Nanqiao Sect Leng Jun?”

Leng Jun looked around again, but did not find any trace of anyone. Even the sound was drifting back and forth above the hill, no one knew where it came from.

Leng Jun thought that the other party must be an expert, and listening to his deep and hoarse voice, it could even be that of a hidden expert. A reclusive master's style of conduct was usually very strange, and one could understand why the other party stole treasures in the middle of the night and then came to this damned place to meet up with him.

Thinking about it, Leng Jun cupped his fists, and then replied to the sky: ”I am, since you are here today, why did you not show yourself?”

Just as Leng Jun's voice fell, a black silhouette appeared from the grave beside him, swaying like a ghost. That person was dressed in black clothes and wore a black hat, so his appearance could not be seen. He was about the same size as Leng Jun, but his body was much thinner. On this pile of bones, it really did look like an undead crawling out from the ground.

”Are you really from the Leader of Nanqiao Sect? Do you have the Sect Master's golden seal?”

Leng Jun sized up the person in front of him. Even though he could not see his face clearly, he could clearly hear his opponent's voice this time. Leng Jun sensed that the other party was purposely lowering his voice and using a hoarse and low voice to pretend that he was mature. In actual fact, he should not be that old.

”Sir snuck into my room last night. Have you never seen it?”

With that, Leng Jun took out the Sect Master's Golden Seal from his waist and waved it towards the other party.

Upon seeing the golden seal, the mysterious man stepped forward and removed the hat on his head to inspect the golden seal.

However, Leng Jun immediately kept the golden seal and said: ”Sir, if the invitation was only to take a look at this golden seal, and you have already seen it, you should have exchanged my things for it now, right?”

Borrowing the dim moonlight, Leng Jun was barely able to see the other party's appearance. Indeed, as he had guessed, it was a young man around his own age.

When he heard Leng Jun ask for the Crystal Sword and the Crystal Sword, his eyes turned and he said: ”Okay, if you want the things it's easy, take out your golden seal and exchange them.”

Leng Jun frowned, and said: ”Sir, isn't this a bit too much for you?”
