In Rouli's campsite, the Roulian cultivators surrounded a bonfire. They drank wine and ate meat. They did not seem to have any intention of attacking Liang Province.
Carlo went outside and looked up at the sky.
"Karan … I'll avenge you soon." A cold glint flashed in Carlo's eyes.
…
At night.
The jungle was very quiet.
After flying for a day, Yu Shangrong decided to stop and rest.
Ji Liang's performance was beyond his imagination.
If nothing went wrong, Ji Liang would be able to bring him across the Heaven Moat.
The natural moat was not far from the forest.
Heaven's Moat was a mountain range between Great Yan and the western regions. It towered into the clouds … To cross Heaven's Moat, one would need a profound cultivation base or an escort on a flying chariot. However, a large number of border guards patrolled the area around the Heaven Moat all year round to prevent the Outsiders from invading. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to cross the Heavenly Chasm.
After the chaos in the Divine Capital, Wei Zhuoyan's team had retreated, causing this place to feel rather deserted.
He glanced at Heaven's Moat beyond the forest. Apart from the stars, he could not see anything.
Then, he looked at Yu Zhenghai who was leaning against the tree root with his eyes closed and said, "Since you hate Lou Lan so much, why didn't you take down the Nether Sect when they're at their strongest? You even conquered the Divine Capital. "
Yu Zhenghai did not answer. He could not answer as well.
"Back then, you and I had a chaotic battle with our master, and we were defeated in the end … After our master left, if I hadn't struck you with my last palm strike, would you not have been ambushed by Liu Gu?"
"So … your life should be counted on me."
"But I don't regret that palm strike."
"The grudge between the Nobleman Nation and the Wuqians shouldn't be shouldered by our generation. What do you think?"
In the silent forest, Yu Shangrong was the only one muttering to himself as he looked at the unconscious man.
"The people of Lou Lan took one of your lives … In that case, I'll return it to you with their lives … We don't owe each other anything. How about that?"
"Name a number …"
"If you don't answer, it means that you agree."
Yu Shangrong remained silent.
Whoosh —
Ji Liang answered on his behalf.
Yu Shangrong noticed Yu Zhenghai's life aura was weakening.
Then, he drew his Longevity Sword and waited for the wisps of red light to fly away before he sheathed it.
"With such a life-extending technique, both you and I might die."
After saying this.
He revealed a gentle smile and said, "It seems like the heavens don't want us to die so easily."
Yu Shangrong suddenly pushed the Longevity Sword out of its scabbard with his thumb.
Zeng!
Suddenly, the Longevity Sword flew in another direction … It passed through a tree in a straight line.
Puff –
The Longevity Sword pierced through the cultivator behind the tree.
A trace of red energy was absorbed by the Longevity Sword and returned to its scabbard.
As if nothing had happened, he smiled and said, "This is the first one."
He rose to his feet and helped Yu Zhenghai onto Ji Liang.
Two people and a horse flew out of the jungle.
After Yu Shangrong left, a person slumped to the ground behind another tree. He gulped as he said, "So this is Great Yan's Sword Devil? This is the person General Carlo wants us to intercept? I have to send a letter quickly! "
As soon as he finished.
A voice came from above —
"Friend."
"Hmm?"
"Sorry, you won't be able to send letters."
The man looked up abruptly. Before he could see what was going on, the Longevity Sword, wrapped in energy swords, fell from the sky.
Chi!
"This is the second one."
Yu Shangrong sheathed his sword.
He flew back onto Ji Liang's back and climbed toward Heaven's Moat.
In truth, the Heaven's Moat that separated the Western Regions from the Western Regions was a towering mountain range that stretched for 10,000 miles.
Due to its unique height, it was difficult to approach.
Most cultivators who wanted to reach the Other Tribes' territories would choose to detour to the northwest. However, the journey was long, and the time and cost were not worth it.
When Yu Shangrong returned to Brackish Mountain, with his Eight-leaf cultivation base, it took him nearly five days to reach the Melilot Graveyard.
He could not take a detour. Moreover, he had to save Yu Zhenghai who was on the brink of death.
Fortunately, he had Ji Liang.
Ji Liang seemed to have a natural affinity with Yu Shangrong. No matter what he did, Ji Liang would immediately understand what he wanted.
It flew upward, unafraid of heights.
There was a limit to how high a cultivator could go.
The forest was huge. There were bound to be people who would crazily try to fly after mastering the art of flying.
Strangely enough, when cultivators reached a certain height, they would suffocate from their Primal Qi. Since then, cultivators no longer dared to fly higher.
…
There was no limit to Heaven's Moat.
When Ji Liang was halfway to Heaven's Moat, the temperature suddenly dropped. It was bone-chilling.
A snowstorm blew.
Yu Shangrong activated his protective energy and enveloped Ji Liang and Yu Zhenghai.
"I heard Old Fourth call you Ji Liang … You suit my taste. If it's possible, follow me from now on.
What do you think? "Yu Shangrong asked as he rose higher.
Phew!
Ji Liang and Ma Treading Cloud responded.
"That's good."
Phew!
"There's no need to worry about master. He has many mounts. It won't matter if you're not there, "Yu Shangrong said.
Phew! Phew!
"I'm coming."
At this moment, the snowstorm above Heaven's Moat intensified.
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly and said, "Follow me …"
He tapped the tip of his foot on Ji Liang's back.
Yu Shangrong flew into the air and summoned his avatar.
Whizz!
An avatar without a Golden Lotus blocked all the wind and snow outside.
This avatar was astonishingly nine zhang tall.
Yu Shangrong raised his palms. He shook his head and said with a sigh, "The Golden Lotus is more useful in situations like this …"
However, his expression remained calm as he entered the avatar.
The avatar shone with a golden radiance as it shot toward the highest point of Heaven's Moat.
The soldiers stationed near Heaven's Moat and the civilians who relied on the mountains stopped what they were doing and looked at Heaven's Moat. It was as though a lantern was rising slowly from the dark skies above Heaven's Moat.
On the western region's side, the soldiers stationed at the borders were mobilized at top speed.
They mobilized their men and headed toward Heaven's Moat!
Yu Shangrong looked up with a focused expression. The snowstorm blurred his vision and blocked the golden radiance. Countless snowflakes fell on his avatar and obscured its radiance.
However, he remained resolute and advanced with an indomitable will.
"Open."
Seven shining golden lotus leaves appeared and spun around the avatar.
The snow on the avatar was instantly swept away by the lotus leaves. The avatar shone brightly!
Boom!
The avatar parted the snowstorm and left a huge radiance in the air.
Ji Liang cooperated well with the avatar and followed closely behind it.
At last, they passed through the most difficult part of Heaven's Moat and landed on the peak.
The cold wind howled.
Yu Shangrong had only taken a breath to retract his avatar. The snow had already dyed his hair, eyebrows, and robes white.
He activated his energy and formed a barrier to block the raging cold wind.
Ji Liang neighed and landed next to Yu Shangrong with Yu Zhenghai on its back.
The man and horse stood at the peak of Heaven's Moat in Great Yan and the western region as they looked down at the vast lands.
The tiger's roar rang in Yu Shangrong's ears.
The hazy mountain scenery was also obscured by the endless night.
The endless scenery of the Western Regions was buried in the endless darkness.
"… When I first reached the Eight-leaf stage, I came here on my own. Now that I'm at the peak again, it's boring. "
Whoosh!
Yu Shangrong turned to look at Yu Zhenghai who was on the horse and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, you've never been here before … You can't appreciate the beauty of the mountains and rivers."
He looked down the mountain.
He knew this was not the time to admire the scenery. Moreover, it was dangerous to exhaust his Primal Qi amid the raging cold wind.
He leaped onto Ji Liang's back and pointed in Lou Lan's direction.
"Ji Liang, shake off the cultivators at the borders."
Whoosh!
Ji Liang stepped on the air and dove. When it was about the right height, it adjusted its direction and flew horizontally. Like a bolt of lightning, it traversed the sea of clouds.
…
In Dazheng Palace in the Imperial city of Great Yan's Divine Capital.
The palace was silent under the night sky.
After two days of meditation, Lu Zhou had recovered some of his extraordinary power.
Just when he was about to stop meditating, he heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching.
"Shh, this is the Imperial city. Our mission this time is to investigate, not assassinate! "
"Evergreen Palace, Dazheng Palace, the inner treasury … Don't miss a single inch. We must find the box. The Divine Capital is in chaos right now. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid we won't get another chance."
"Yes, master!"
"Gather here in an hour! Move out! "
