Chu Li shook his head. These two were quite cunning. They knew about his flying blades and were prepared for it in advance.
"Bang! Bang! " The figures of the two old men suddenly shrank. They turned in mid-air and suddenly sped up, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye. Their speed was not inferior to So Close Yet Worlds Apart.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. The Zheng Dynasty's martial arts should not be underestimated. The two elders' secret skills were very powerful.
Although he could catch up with them, he did not chase after them.
Elder Su said, "We can't let them go!"
Chu Li said, "Forget it, we'll do it next time!"
"Next time …" Elder Su shook his head. "We might not be able to stop them next time. We have to speed up!"
Zhao Dahe did not manage to kill these two with their profound cultivation levels. If more of them came next time, Zhao Dahe might not be able to escape even if he was not afraid.
These people with more than a hundred years of cultivation levels were too dangerous for Zhao Dahe. If more of them came next time, even if Zhao Dahe was not afraid, they might not be able to escape.
Sun Yucheng said, "Elder Zhao, we can't rush."
Liu Di pursed her red lips and thought for a while. "Young Master Sun, we can use our secret skills to hurry on."
"That won't do." Sun Yucheng quickly said, "If they catch up to you, you won't be able to fight back."
"That's the only way," Liu Di said. "We can't do anything anyway."
They would have to use their Light-body Technique if they wanted to be fast. They were dragging them down now. Since the situation was not good, they could only try their luck.
Sun Yucheng frowned and turned to look at Chu Li.
He felt that Chu Li was calm and kind-hearted, so he trusted him more.
Chu Li said, "It's better to hurry back to Ascending Dragon Mountain."
The next masters who came might be two or three hundred years later. If there were more of them, he might not be able to protect them all. Although it was a good opportunity for him to weaken Mysterious Pavilion, he did not want to risk their lives.
"Alright, we'll use our secret skills then!" Sun Yucheng said.
Liu Di and the other girls smiled.
They abandoned their horses and used their Light-body Technique to travel quickly.
After the four girls activated their secret skills, they seemed to be riding the wind. They only stopped using their secret skills after running for three hundred miles in one go. They were exhausted.
Both of Chu Li's arms were held by Liu Di and another young girl respectively. Elder Su and Elder Ren were each held by a young girl. The three of them carried the four women while Sun Yucheng traveled on his own. Although his speed was not as fast as when the four women had activated their secret skill, he was still much faster than a galloping horse.
On the evening of the second day, they arrived at the foot of a towering mountain.
This mountain was located in a mountain range that resembled a giant dragon. One mountain after another was lined up, and the peaks of the mountains were covered by clouds and mist.
The four women's faces were pale. Although they had been brought away by Chu Li and the others and had consumed the spirit pills, using the secret skill twice in a row had left behind repercussions. They would need to recuperate for a period of time.
Liu Di pointed at the lush bamboo forest and said with a smile, "This is Ascending Dragon Mountain, and our Moon Palace is located here."
Sun Yucheng exclaimed, "What a great Ascending Dragon Mountain!"
"Young Master Sun, please rest here for a while. We'll go up and pass on the message." Liu Di smiled and said, "The Vast Cold Palace doesn't allow men to enter. I'm going to report this to the Palace Master and ask him to make an exception."
"Thank you." Sun Yucheng gave a fist salute.
Liu Di smiled at Chu Li and nodded. Then, she disappeared into the lush bamboo forest with the three women.
The entire Ascending Dragon Mountain was covered in green bamboos. When a gust of wind blew, the bamboo leaves would sway like endless waves, and the place was overflowing with green.
It was winter in the Li Dynasty, but it was still warm here. The bamboo forest was growing exceptionally well.
After about an hour, a young lady in white appeared above the bamboo forest. She stepped on the bamboo branches as if she was walking on water. She appeared in front of the four people with a faint fragrance.
Her face was covered by a white veil, and only her eyes were exposed. She gave a fist salute and said, "Are you Young Master Sun and the others?"
"Yes, I am." Sun Yucheng gave a fist salute and sized her up.
He wished he could lift the white veil to see her face clearly. Judging by her graceful figure and graceful bearing, she must be an outstanding beauty.
The young lady in white furrowed her eyebrows and cast a sidelong glance at Sun Yucheng. She was displeased with his piercing gaze and said, "Come with me."
She turned around and left gracefully. She stepped into the bamboo forest and slowly walked up the mountain.
Ascending Dragon Mountain was steep and steep. After stepping into the bamboo forest, they realized that the height of the mountain was beyond their imagination, and they were as small as an ant.
Chu Li sensed a fluctuation from a formation. Although it was only a Bewitching Formation that could only cover one's eyes and ears, it was still quite powerful when combined with the terrain.
They followed the young lady in white for a quarter of an hour before they arrived in front of a row of bamboo huts.
"This is the outer courtyard of the Vast Cold Palace." The young lady in white pointed at the row of bamboo huts and said, "Distinguished guests, please stay here for the time being. The palace master will come to see you soon."
"It's quite elegant." Sun Yucheng looked at the row of bamboo huts and felt that the atmosphere was so peaceful that it made one forget about the vulgarity.
The young lady in white came to the front of the bamboo huts and gestured for them to sit at the stone table. Then, she boiled tea in a small red clay stove. Soon, the fragrance of the tea was faintly discernible, and the young lady in white fluttered away.
Elder Su watched as she left and frowned. "The Vast Cold Palace is so rude!"
No matter what, they were their saviors, but they were treated so coldly. It was quite unreasonable and uncomfortable.
Sun Yucheng took a sip of the tea and exclaimed, "Ah, good tea! Good tea! "
The fragrance seeped into one's internal organs, and one's entire body seemed to become lighter. It was truly the best tea. Even as a prince, he had never enjoyed such wonderful tea.
He smiled and said, "Just because of this cup of tea, we didn't save them in vain!"
Chu Li took a sip and nodded to himself. This was a rare spirit tea. He had encountered some in the Hundred-Thousand Hills, but he did not expect to find it here as well. It was very beneficial to the body.
Elder Su also took a sip and smiled. "It's not ordinary indeed."
He knew that this tea must be extremely precious. It seemed that the Vast Cold Palace was cold on the outside, but warm on the inside, as they treated their guests with such good tea.
As soon as the four of them finished their tea, the sound of clothes fluttering could be heard. A woman in her thirties glided over with two young girls.
One of the young girls was Liu Di, and the other was a slightly older woman with a cold and elegant demeanor.
The three women were all dressed in spotless white robes, and they looked like otherworldly fairies.
Liu Di smiled sweetly. "Young Master Sun, Young Master Zhao, seniors, this spirit tea can wash away dust. Is it edible?"
"Thank you." Sun Yucheng smiled and said, "It's indeed good tea."
Liu Di smiled and said, "This is my palace master, and this is Senior Sister Mo."
"Greetings, Palace Master!" Sun Yucheng smiled and gave a fist salute.
He was overjoyed to see such a beautiful palace master.
Xu Miaozhu, the palace master of the Vast Cold Palace, gave a fist salute and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
Sun Yucheng smiled and said, "You're welcome, Palace Master. It's nothing."
"Provoking Mysterious Pavilion isn't something that can be done easily," Xu Miaozhu said, "Please stay in the outer courtyard for a while and lie low. They won't dare to come here."
"Thank you, Palace Master." Sun Yucheng quickly nodded and agreed.
Elder Su looked at Sun Yucheng helplessly and opened his mouth to say something but closed it again.
"You're all here at Ascending Dragon Mountain too. May I know what's the matter?" Xu Miaozhu asked.
Sun Yucheng smiled and said, "We heard that the Heavenly King Palm was hidden here more than two thousand years ago."
