In the dark of the night, a black sedan silently drove out of the western suburbs of Qingshui City, gradually leaving the bright lights of Qingshui City behind.
After leaving the western suburbs, both the northwest and southwest were filled with undulating hills and lush greenery.
The terrain of Qingshui City was high in the west and low in the east. At the beginning, there were some low hills, but the further they went to the west, the higher the terrain became. The mountains in front of them also became taller and steeper.
Once out of the city, Ling Yun turned on the GPS system in the car and set the destination to a small village near the Immortal Ridge. Then, he asked Chester to drive at full speed according to the route.
Chester had been cooped up in the small bungalow in the backyard of Mansion Number One for the past few days since he arrived in Qingshui City. Now that he had the chance to go out with Ling Yun, he couldn't be more excited. He didn't care about the speed limit anymore. He stepped on the accelerator and sped up to 150 miles per hour!
Ling Yun didn't care about the speed limit either. The Immortal Ridge was located in the west of Qingshui City. The distance from Qingshui City to Immortal Ridge was at least 90 kilometers. However, because they had to take the winding mountain road, the distance was at least a hundred kilometers. Ling Yun couldn't wait to reach his destination.
They would pass by Lingjue Temple along the way. When they were close to Lingjue Temple, Ling Yun didn't forget to take out the Bodhi Bead, the green lamp, and the Buddha beads. He allowed them to absorb the powerful Buddhist energy from the surrounding temples.
This time, Murong Feixue wasn't the one accompanying Ling Yun anymore. Ling Yun hung the Buddha beads around his neck. He held the green lamp in his right hand and the Bodhi Bead in his left. He had a solemn expression as he pondered.
Ling Yun was still thinking about the "Tribulation Taker".
"Drive slower in front!"
Ling Yun suddenly said to Chester when they passed by the mountain where Lingjue Temple was located.
"Yes, Boss!"
There had been a heavy rainstorm the night before, so the mountain road was very slippery. There were puddles of water on some sections of the road, and there were even broken rocks washed onto the road by the flash flood. Even though Chester could see at night, he didn't dare to be careless. He turned on the headlights and slowed the speed to about 100 miles per hour.
"Boss, what's that thing in your hand? Why is it emitting a green light? I feel terrible! "
Chester slowed down and wasn't as focused anymore. He noticed the Bodhi Bead in Ling Yun's hand. That dull, old bead was glowing with a green light.
Chester felt uncomfortable the moment Ling Yun took out the three Buddhist artifacts. He instinctively wanted to stay as far away from them as possible.
Buddhist Sacred Artifacts were supreme Dharma treasures that could restrain demons and evil spirits. Not to mention that these three Buddhist Artifacts were used by the enlightened monk with the Diamond Glass Body in the Heavenly Pit.
Chester's physique was fundamentally different from the original vampire after being embraced by Ling Yun's blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to move at all, much less drive.
Ling Yun didn't answer him. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the mountain outside the window. His eyes were as sharp as lightning as he slowly searched for the Lingjue Temple on the mountain. He asked faintly, "These are things used by an eminent monk. Why, are you not feeling well?"
Chester was a vampire and naturally belonged to the category of demons and evil spirits. It was within Ling Yun's expectations that the Bodhi Bead could restrain him.
"Yes, Boss. I felt something was wrong when you took out these three items. It felt like … like the blood in my body was gradually coagulating and about to stop flowing …"
"And it seems even more powerful now!"
The car was not far from the foot of the Lingjue Temple. The surging Buddhist power was extremely strong, and Chester naturally couldn't take it.
"Get used to it. Your physiques are different from before, but I can't explain the specifics. Now that you've gotten used to it, it will be very beneficial for you in the future!" Ling Yun didn't put the items away.
The Blood Clan, Vampires, and The Embrace were new things and topics for Ling Yun. He was very interested in them and would study them whenever he had the time. After all, there were still ten people from the Cao Family waiting for him to save.
Moreover, Ling Yun would have to deal with the Buddhists in the future. As one of Ling Yun's servants, Chester would naturally be used to it.
According to Bi Yuanjia, there were Shaolin monks among the enemies this time.
"Yes, Boss!"
Chester could only endure the strong feeling of being suppressed and restrained. He could only concentrate on driving, but he subconsciously increased the speed of the car. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Ling Yun laughed in his heart, but he ignored it and pretended not to know anything.
There were quite a few temples on this stretch of road, such as the Faguang Temple and the Bodhi Temple … However, as they went further west and passed the westernmost Xiyue Temple, the Buddhist power in the vicinity weakened significantly. The Bodhi Seed no longer emitted a misty cyan light, leaving only a layer of cyan halo on its surface.
Only when he could no longer feel any Buddhist power did he put away the three Buddhist Holy Weapons.
Chester instantly felt his body lighten. The little blood in his body was no longer suppressed and gradually flowed freely. He was elated and stepped on the accelerator to drive the car at full speed again.
"Boss, those seemed to be used by the monks from the East …"
"That's right …"
"I heard from the Blood Clan that the monks, nuns, and Daoist priests of the East are very evil. They have many spells that can suppress the Blood Clan …" Chester said casually.
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat.
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and asked, "Oh? The Blood Clan that has lived for a long time? How old are they? What kind of spells are they? "
Even though this information came out of Chester's mouth unconsciously, it was extremely important to Ling Yun. He couldn't ignore it.
Chester drifted the car and made a sharp turn. Then, he said, "He's at least 200 years old. Boss, you know that the age of the Blood Clan is a very private secret … Anyway, he said that the monks and Daoists of China are very powerful. He told us to stay far away from them and not provoke them easily …"
"He also warned us not to come to Huaxia unless it was necessary …"
Ling Yun frowned slightly. Two hundred years old. Two hundred years ago, Huaxia was at the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, firearms weren't as powerful as they were now.
Even then, the Blood Clan was so afraid of the spells of the monks and Daoist priests from the East … Spells?
A name suddenly popped up in Ling Yun's mind. "Cultivator!"
Without a doubt, the only people who could make the proud and powerful Blood Clan turn pale at the mention of them were cultivators.
Ling Yun started to get excited. However, he knew that Chester definitely didn't know much about this, so he didn't ask further. Instead, he slowly pondered and analyzed in his heart.
"Boss, it seems like we're being followed …"
Chester suddenly spoke. From his tone, it seemed like he was extremely excited.
Ling Yun chuckled. "It's not 'seems', we're indeed being followed. I didn't expect them to be so fast!"
Now, their car had already driven into the vast mountains. The road in front of them was getting narrower and narrower. The surrounding mountains were dark and towering, and the surroundings were silent except for the sound of the car engine.
The other party had four cars, but they weren't following very closely. They were just following their car from afar, like a cat playing with a mouse. It seemed like they were very confident.
"There's a tunnel not far ahead. Should we kill them there?"
Ling Yun smiled and shook his head. "What's the rush? Don't worry, there'll be plenty of fights when we reach the Celestial Ridge. Let's get rid of them first! "
It was already past ten at night, and they were only half an hour away from the Celestial Ridge. Calculating the time, the magic show that Ling Yun performed had already been broadcasted twice. If the enemy's reaction was fast enough, it was very reasonable for them to catch up now.
Ling Yun didn't know who was following them, and he didn't care. However, he didn't want to make a move halfway.
There was a huge mountain in front of them, and they couldn't go around it. They dug a tunnel that was actually four kilometers long. After passing through this tunnel, they would enter the Celestial Ridge.
The Celestial Ridge was located at the junction of Jiangnan Province and Wanhui Province. It was a hundred kilometers west of Qingshui City, and it belonged to the Huangshan Mountain Range.
The Celestial Ridge was surrounded by mountains, and it was inaccessible. Although it was also a scenic area, only five percent of it was developed for tourism.
The average altitude of the Celestial Ridge was more than a thousand meters above sea level. The mountainside was surrounded by clouds all year round, and the scenery was beautiful.
According to the locals, from a certain direction, the mountain looked like a towering giant, facing the south. To the southwest of the mountain, there was a mountain peak that was as straight as a knife. It was 1,400 meters high and was the third highest peak in Jiangnan Province. The mountain peak was like a long spear that pierced the sky. It was the Sky Spear Peak.
Between the Immortal Ridge and the Heavenly Spear Peak, there was a naturally formed and precipitous stone bridge. From afar, it looked like a giant stretching out his arm, holding a heavenly spear in his hand, standing majestically. Thus, it was named the Immortal Ridge.
Fifteen minutes later, Ling Yun arrived at the small mountain village. He found a family with lights on and gave them two thousand yuan for parking.
In the summer, there were many tourists who came to the Celestial Ridge in order to enjoy the coolness of the mountains. However, people in the mountains hadn't even seen two thousand yuan for parking. They didn't ask much and let Ling Yun park the car in.
After parking the car, Ling Yun bade farewell and left. When he came out, he saw the four cars following him.
Ling Yun smiled and glanced at the four cars. Then, he ignored them and said to Chester, "Chester, let's go into the mountains!"
"Boss, there are mountains all around us. Which one are we going to?"
Ling Yun smiled and pointed to the pitch-black mountain peak in the distance. "Sky Spear Peak!"
