Deep in the snow forest, the wind howled.
Han Ya stood at the door, staring blankly at Lu An, her beautiful eyes full of shock.
She looked at this young boy in surprise. She didn't understand. With this young boy's talent and the guidance of Mount Dacheng, he would soon become a strong man. Why would he give up his future and go down the mountain with her?
Could it be that he also liked her? Or was it just the simplest sympathy?
Lu An saw the shock in Han Ya's eyes slowly turn into doubt. He took a light breath and said softly, "If you go back like this, I won't be at ease. And I promised to go to Middle Border City with you, so I have to keep my word. When I feel that you have calmed down, I will go back to Mount Dacheng. "
Han Ya was stunned, staring blankly at the boy in front of her who picked up his cloak and put it on, walking past her and into the biting wind outside the door. The wind caused his cloak to flutter, but it didn't seem to be able to shake his footsteps.
"Let's go." Lu An turned to look at Han Ya, who was still standing at the door, and said softly, "I'll go back to Middle Border City with you."

In the end, Lu An and Han Ya still went down the mountain.
Before going down the mountain, Lu An was not sure if he would come back, so he left everything that belonged to Mount Dacheng. He even left a letter to Chen Wuyong to express his apology. If he came back late, or even not, then he could not do anything about Chen Wuyong.
Han Ya was a woman after all, while Chen Wuyong was a strong man. Compared to the two, the latter had too many choices.
He also left the dark horse. Although he now knew that there was another way to enter Mount Dacheng, and the dark horse could also go down the mountain, he left the dark horse to Chen Wen. After all, the dark horse belonged to the Chen family.
He went down the mountain the same way he went up the mountain. If there was anything he learned in the two months he spent in Mount Dacheng, it would be the three Heaven techniques.
Looking at the empty housing area, Lu An's eyes were calm, but there was only a slight ripple in his heart. He came with great hope and left with great disappointment. However, there were still many people he missed here.
He had thought that he would be able to live here for a very long time, but he had never thought that something like this would happen.
Be it Tian Lie, Liu Panshan, or Zhang Kesheng, they all gave Lu An a bad impression of the Dacheng Sky Mountain. This included Chen Wuyong. Even now, Lu An still did not think that he was a competent teacher.
When Lu An and Han Ya stood in the cold wind at the checkpoint, it was already four o 'clock in the afternoon. The disciple guarding the mountain asked Lu An and Han Ya to show their documents to descend the mountain. This was something that all disciples who wanted to descend the mountain had to provide. Lu An naturally didn't have it. Just as he was about to pass the test, Han Ya took it out.
Han Ya did have the document to descend the mountain, and this document was undoubtedly authentic. Han Ya was very popular on Blue Water Peak, and many elders doted on her. It was easy for her to put a few documents in the ring in case she needed them.
Then, Han Ya and Lu An went down the mountain.
This unobstructed path down the mountain was a hidden path. When the two of them left the checkpoint at the bottom of the mountain, they immediately felt a huge mountain wind blowing. Fortunately, the two were strong enough to withstand the cold wind, but the flying snowflakes blocked their vision.
The two looked at each other and went down the mountain with all their might.
When the two arrived at Shangcheng City, they did not stop for long. Instead, they bought two good horses and continued on their way. When the sky was completely dark, the two arrived at the next city. It was already four o 'clock in the evening.
It was already late, and the two had to rest. They hurried on because they were afraid that the Dacheng Sky Mountain would send people to catch them.
In fact, the Dacheng Sky Mountain rarely made a big fuss for disciples who suddenly left the mountain, especially when Han Ya and Lu An had the documents to descend the mountain. Moreover, it was already the end of the year, and there were many disciples who left the mountain early, so the two of them were not rare.
Because it was winter and it was late at night, the streets were empty and there were not many people. The two found a good inn to stay in and ordered a few hot dishes to fill their stomachs.
While eating, Lu An looked at Han Ya and found that although Han Ya was still very depressed, her complexion had recovered a lot. This made him more or less relieved.
"I'm fine," Han Ya suddenly said in a hoarse voice.
Lu An was startled. Then, he saw Han Ya raise her head and look at him with a pair of beautiful eyes that had lost their former luster.
"I know you're worried about me. I'll be fine." Han Ya gently put down her chopsticks. Her pale face was full of pain and exhaustion. She softly said, "I really want to die, but at least I don't want to die now. That evil person is still alive, so I can't die in front of him! "
When she said the last sentence, Han Ya's eyes were full of anger and resentment. Lu An looked at Han Ya and nodded. "Okay."
He could understand Han Ya's feelings. No matter how optimistic and cheerful a woman was, she would not ignore this kind of thing. It was right to want to kill someone.
Taking a light breath, Han Ya looked at Lu An and continued after thinking for a while, "I think I need to tell you about the Middle Border City first."
Lu An also put down his chopsticks and looked at Han Ya, listening carefully.
He really needed to know. For him, there was still too little information about the Middle Border City.
Seeing Lu An's serious look, Han Ya also took a light breath and said seriously, "On the northwest edge of the Tiancheng Country is an endless mountain range. This mountain range separates the Tiancheng Country from the other neighboring countries. The mountain range is very dangerous and can be regarded as a natural barrier, which ensures that the Tiancheng Country will not be invaded by the neighboring countries. "
"In the extreme northwest of the Tiancheng Country, under the mountain range, there is an endless grassland where hundreds of millions of nomads live. They have lived here since ancient times and live a nomadic life every day. People who live near the foot of the mountain range will go hunting outside the mountain range. After all, there is a lot of good food in the mountain range. "
"Therefore, with the grassland as the line, the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain named the northwestern nomadic area 'Heavenly Realm' and divided it into five parts. According to the geographical location, they were named the middle, east, south, west, and north."
Han Ya paused for a moment to collect her thoughts before continuing, "My family is located in Middle Border City. Unlike other nomadic families, my family has great influence in Middle Border City and is one of the most powerful families in the city. My family mainly does business and silk. More than half of the silk in the Middle Border City belongs to my family. "
Lu An's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Even if he was ignorant, he knew that very few of the nomads could produce silk. Unlike the nomads outside the city, there must be a lot of rich people in the city. If the Han Family dominated the silk industry, it would make a lot of money.
"Because the people in the Heavenly Realm are nomads, there are naturally more strong people than other places. In history, people from the Heavenly Realm have conquered the whole Tiancheng Country several times. The number of Taoist Masters is much more than that of other provinces. "
Lu An nodded. Indeed, he had heard that there were more strong people in the nomads.
"There are five cities in the Heavenly Realm, and each city lord is a Level Three Taoist Master. As for the governor of the Heavenly Realm, he is a Level Four Taoist Master. Moreover, different from other small cities, it doesn't mean that only the city lord is a Level Three Taoist Master. On the contrary, there are more than five Level Three Taoist Masters in each city! "
Lu An opened his eyes wide and said subconsciously, "So many?!"
A Level Three Taoist Master could definitely be a city lord in other places. It was unreasonable for so many Level Three Taoist Masters to gather in one place.
"Yes." Han Ya nodded slightly and said seriously with a frown, "These people don't want to go to other cities. Maybe because of the pride of the nomads, they feel that they can't get used to living in other places. More importantly, there is a different rule in the Heavenly Realm! "
"What's the rule?" Lu An asked with a frown.
Han Ya looked at Lu An with her beautiful eyes and said seriously, "You can fight for the position of city lord based on your strength. Neither the Tiancheng Country nor the Dacheng Sky Mountain will interfere!"
