Juyun City, City Lord Mansion, study.
"My Lord, the Divine Temple's arrest warrant has changed." An old man in Han Lin robes stood at the door and looked at the Grand Scholar in green robes sitting behind a desk.
The Grand Scholar had white hair but no wrinkles on his face. His skin was smooth and his head was lowered, making it impossible to tell his age.
The Grand Scholar held a purple brush in his hand. The brush was long and sharp, and the words he wrote were straight and square.
"Is this the arrest warrant that I've temporarily suppressed?"
"Yes."
"Speak." The Grand Scholar continued to write slowly.
"The reward for the arrest warrant is one Dragon Gate Leap, three drops of Dragon Saint's blood, one strand of Dragon Qi, and one Great Demon King's Dragon Pearl. The Dragon Saint's attack is sealed in it."
The straight purple brush head softened, and the second horizontal line of the word "benevolence" was clearly bent.
The Grand Scholar raised his head. His face was angular, his eyes were deep, and his mouth was especially big. If it were an ordinary person, they would feel strange, but this person's face had a different kind of majesty.
"The Dragons made a move?"
"Should be, but there's no definite news."
"It seems that they haven't given up. Who is that Fang Yun? "
The Grand Scholar put the tip of the purple brush into the brush washer and shook it gently. The ink dispersed like smoke in water.
"I'm not sure. The connection with the Notre-Dame is still broken. According to the previous agreement, the passage between the two worlds can only be opened seven years later. We can't contact the Notre-Dame, so we have no way of knowing who Fang Yun is. The Notre-Dame's people can reach the Bloodlight Ancient Land through the astral gate. The Dragon Saint can also use a large amount of energy to send people there, but the Dragon Saint may not be willing to do so. City Lord, more than half of the city has suppressed the news and is waiting. Should we continue to wait? "
The Grand Scholar turned his head and looked at the desk. There was a book on the top left. The words "By Yun Zhaochen" were written at the bottom of the cover. It was his real name.
Yun Zhaochen put down the brush and took the book. A page with the portrait of a young man was revealed.
It was eighty percent similar to Fang Yun!
"The young Han Lin from Saint Origin World in Cloud Town should be Fang Yun. Has the news been leaked?"
"All the soldiers, the waiter of the restaurant, and the guests have been put in their proper places. Only a few Grand Scholars from the Yun Clan of Changle, Yun Clan of Fuyuan, and Nie Clan of Nie Clan had seen him. Coincidentally, the few scholars who saw him all followed Changle Yun's family to the west. "
A strange look of surprise appeared on Yun Zhaochen's face as he fell into deep thought.
Hanlin continued, "I don't know which temple issued the arrest warrant, but it's obvious that it's the wanted Fang Yun. There were also others who had come from the Notre-Dame or the Dragon Palace to the Bloodlight Holy Land. In order to kill Fang Yun, they had bribed a City Lord to issue this arrest warrant. According to my guess, the actual reward for the arrest warrant is even more generous. The reward for the arrest warrant now should only be a part of it. "
Yun Zhaochen used his finger to press on Fang Yun's portrait and said, "The arrest warrant says that he is not even 20 years old, has a meteoric rise, and is invincible in the Hanlin Academy. Only a Grand Scholar or a Demon King can defeat him. How old was Yi Zhishi when he joined the Hanlin Academy? "
"I heard that he was 21 years old."
Yun Zhaochen said, "In other words, this could be a genius who is far superior to Yi Zhishi. Then why did he appear in the Bloodlight Ancient Land? Are the Saints of Saint Origin blind? "
"I don't know. I'm afraid … it's related to the battle of the Divine Path."
"Battle of the Divine Path? The last time we killed that person, we angered the Half-saint behind that person. He sent three Grand Scholars with Half-saint's handwritten edict to seal the Holy Temple. In three days, we destroyed five City Lord Mansions and exterminated five Grand Scholars' families. Then, we left. Have they all forgotten? "
"People die for wealth. Birds die for food. Our Juyun City has been passed down for many years. It's not worth the risk for these benefits. However, I'm afraid that if we do nothing, the person who wants to kill Fang Yun will be angry. "
"If you're so cowardly when killing someone, how dare you slaughter my Yun Clan?"
"You're right, City Lord," Hanlin said honestly.
"How are the preparations for Wei Huang 'an to walk the path of the ancestors?"
"At least half a year, at most two years. We'll start soon. "
"Mm, in a few days, I'll go out and meet someone."
Yun Zhaochen looked out the window and smiled inexplicably.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the study. Then, someone outside said, "City Lord …"
Outside Juyun City, a team of more than two thousand people walked quickly in the direction of Axe Mountain with their backs to the city.
The Yun Clan's Demon Hunters walked for the entire morning. When noon came, they started a fire to cook and continued their journey after lunch.
They rested in the evening and continued their journey after lunch. However, at night, their speed was reduced to that of ordinary people walking. They were no longer in a hurry. They had their fourth meal in the middle of the night and then set up camp to rest.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up, had breakfast, and continued their journey.
The Demon Hunters spent 14 hours a day on the road, crossing mountains and ridges. They had to walk more than 150 miles in a day. If it were an ordinary person, their body would have collapsed long ago. However, with Zhuang Xingshi, everyone only felt slightly tired. It was easier than walking for an ordinary person.
When the Demon Hunters advanced, Fang Yun sat in the carriage. As the Armored Ox Carriage was not comfortable, Fang Yun decided to sit on the Smooth Steps to Clear Skies. At the same time, he closed the doors and windows to prevent others from seeing him.
To others, it was a hurried journey. However, to Fang Yun, it was just a change of place to study. It was not much different from being at home.
Every time they rested, the four bodyguards sent by Yun Jieying would help Fang Yun prepare everything. Whether it was food or tents, Fang Yun did not have to worry about them.
Yun Jieying was an honest young man. Other than paying his respects to Fang Yun, he did not dare to say anything else.
On the evening of the third day after leaving Juyun City, Fang Yun was reading in the Armored Ox Carriage when he heard Patriarch Yun He's booming voice, "We have arrived at the edge of Axe Mountain. Set up camp immediately. We will rest for the night and begin climbing the mountain tomorrow. We have already discovered a small group of demons in the distance. They have also discovered us. Everyone, prepare for battle at any time. Kill every demon that invades! "
Fang Yun put away his book and got off the Armored Ox Carriage. He scanned the surroundings and nodded at Yun Jieying who had just gotten off the carriage. Then, he looked ahead.
The sky was still filled with red clouds. Red mist filled the sky, obscuring the view of fifty miles away.
About ten miles ahead, there was an endless mountain range. The plants on the mountain were brown, red, blood, reddish brown, and so on. The only thing that was not green was the mountain range.
The mountain peaks in front of him were high and low, and because most of them were covered by the dense fog, Fang Yun couldn't see the whole picture. However, he hadn't wasted his time in the Bloodawn Ancient Land. He had bought some books about the Bloodawn Ancient Land and learned a little about it.
It was said that when the blood mist dispersed, a Grand Scholar looked down from the sky and saw that the entire mountain range looked like a giant axe. Hence, the name.
The highest peak of Axe Mountain was called "Heavenly Axe Peak". It was a hundred thousand feet high. It was said that the peak was connected to the red clouds. Other than the Grand Scholar, no one had seen it before.
The entire mountain range of Axe Mountain extended out from the Heavenly Axe Peak. As it was impossible to have such a tall mountain on the ground, many people suspected that the Heavenly Axe Peak was man-made. Unfortunately, no one knew the truth.
