After Tang Yuan left, Fang Ligong and Fang Yunlong cleaned up a bit, covered up the traces within the cave, and walked out of the Nine Serenities Formation.
Outside of the array, the fog was still thick and the visibility was low. But after a few days of wandering around, Fang Yunlong had become more familiar with this place, and was no longer as cautious as when he first arrived.
Suddenly, he thought of the first time Fang Ligong and Tang Yuan had met, and asked: ”Grandfather, is the entire Tiger Hidden Valley shrouded in white mist? Where was the first place you and Grandpa Qian met? ”
Fang Ligong laughed and said, ”Of course it's not like the entire Tiger Hidden Valley is shrouded in white mist, there will be no white mist on the west side of the Tiger Hidden Valley. That was the first time I met your foster grandfather back then, and the reason I chose to meet him here now, is mainly because no one here can disturb us.”
After thinking for a moment, she said: ”Let's go, Long'er, I'll bring you to the west side of Tiger Hidden Valley.” With that said, he pulled Fang Yunlong and headed towards the west.
Along the way, Fang Ligong could be said to be extremely familiar with the road. While bringing Fang Yunlong forward, he also introduced the topography of the Tiger Hidden Valley to Fang Yunlong.
To see if there really was a White Tiger. However, although the two of them had met a tiger before, from generation to generation, they had never seen a White Tiger that was dozens of feet tall. In the end, the two of them had no choice but to give up.
This led to the appearance of a white tiger that was several tens of feet tall. Although they did not see the White Tiger, the two of them were extremely familiar with the topography of Tiger Hidden Valley.
And they had found such a concealed cave in the center of the Tiger Hidden Valley. Fang Ligong had arranged a Nine Hell Formation and the two of them had gathered there once every ten years.
As they moved further west, the white mist gradually became thinner. There were more types of shrubs and trees in the forest, and small animals could be seen everywhere.
The Xiaoyun that was always in Fang Yunlong's embrace suddenly became excited, and instantly jumped onto Fang Yunlong's shoulder. It stood up and looked around, and occasionally let out a ”Zhi Zhi” sound, causing the silent Tiger Hidden Valley to become noisy.
By the time they had reached a bare hillside, the fog was thin and could be seen in the distance.
Fang Ligong stopped and pointed to a forest not far away, saying, ”Look, Long'er, the forest in front of us is the place where I met your foster grandfather. It's been fifty years, and we're all old now, and only that forest still stands there unchanging.”
Fang Ligong sighed with emotion.
Looking in the direction of his grandfather's finger, Fang Yunlong faintly saw a black colored forest in front of him. It looked like it was not far, and just when Fang Yunlong was about to put in more effort and rush to the forest with his grandfather, the Xiaoyun on his shoulder suddenly creaked urgently.
Fang Yunlong looked at the Xiaoyun in puzzlement, only to see the Xiaoyun jumping around on Fang Yunlong's shoulder, its small forelimb pointing to the left in front. Fang Yunlong could not help but ask: ”What's wrong, Xiaoyun?”
The Xiaoyun was still pointing to the left and squeaking as if it was replying to Fang Yunlong's question. Fang Yunlong looked at him and pondered for a moment, then said: ”There shouldn't be anything in the front, but since the Xiaoyun is so anxious, let's go take a look.”
Following the direction that the Xiaoyun was pointing in, Fang Yunlong and his grandfather walked forward. After walking no more than three meters, the Xiaoyun suddenly jumped off Fang Yunlong's shoulder, ran forward two steps, and then grabbed onto the bare ground.
The Xiaoyun turned its head again and squeaked, as if it wanted Fang Yunlong to come over and help it.
Fang Yunlong immediately walked over and picked up the Xiaoyun. With a single palm of luck, he activated the ”Holy Mantra of Li Huo” in his body, and with a ”hu” sound, he headed towards the direction of the Xiaoyun. So it turned out that Fang Yunlong wanted to test his palm strength.
He looked at his current level of inner strength. Unexpectedly, his palm struck down, and merely imprinted a faint palm print on the ground, causing Fang Yunlong, who originally thought that a huge pit would appear, to be instantly stunned.
When the Xiaoyun in his embrace saw Fang Yunlong's embarrassed look, it used its front legs to support his stomach and squeaked. From the looks of it, it seemed to have seen a huge joke and laughed heartily.
Long'er said: ”This is a type of iron rock, it is incomparably hard, but it is already not bad that you can imprint a palm print on it.”
Fang Yunlong said in embarrassment: ”Grandfather, you are serious. You clearly know that Tie Yan is strong, but you didn't try to dissuade Long'er. Instead, you humiliated Long'er.”
Fang Ligong laughed: ”Grandfather also wants to see how far your martial arts have progressed. You have to know that if you can leave a palm mark on this Iron Cliff, then this palm strike of yours would at least have 500 kilograms of strength.”
Grandfather's explanation made Fang Yunlong understand, but when he saw his own small palm and heard his grandfather's words, Fang Yunlong seemed to not dare believe that he actually had such a large palm strength.
Fang Yunlong lightly patted the Xiaoyun's head and took out his Gold Lin Sword from its back. This time, he did not dare to be careless, he channeled his Qi and stabbed it into Iron Cliff.
