With Xiao Hua's intention, Liu Xiao unconsciously told him about He Lan Que's summary and also shared some common knowledge about the Immortal World with Xiao Hua. On the other hand, Chi Xiaoxia originally wanted to say something to Xiao Hua, but when he saw Liu Xiao and Xiao Hua chatting passionately, he simply gave up.
The ship traveled for a few more days. Xiao Hua stood at the bow of the ship and endured the pain of being eroded by the sunlight and moonlight. He saw various images of the Immortal World. Some were towering trees, some were mountains lying in the sky, some were meteorites falling like rain, and some were illusions of immortal birds dancing in the mist. Xiao Hua finally had a preliminary outline of the Immortal World in his mind.
However, even so, Xiao Hua still reminded himself, Dreamy Cloud Swampland is just a wild place in the far west of the Enlightened Continent that Liu Xiao mentioned. Not to mention the other seven continents of the Ming Dao Immortal Domain, just the Enlightened Continent alone is a hundred times more dangerous than the Dreamy Cloud Swampland!
On this day, Xiao Hua really couldn't endure the piercing pain and hid in the cabin of the ship. Just as he sat down, he heard a mountain-like tremor in front of him. "Where did this flying ship come from? Why aren't you stopping?"
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. He flew out and stood in front of the cabin door to take a look. A few li in front of the golden ship, there were more than ten towering cloud pillars. These cloud pillars blocked the path of the golden ship. A group of immortal soldiers riding on cloud-stepping beasts came out from one of the cloud pillars! These immortal soldiers were all wearing immortal armor. They were all tens of feet tall and held all kinds of weapons in their hands. The immortal armor they wore was different from the armor in Xiao Hua's space. The armor had a heart protection mirror that was as bright as jade in front of the chest. Thin runes flickered on it. As for the beast head hanging from the waist of the immortal soldiers, it was actually a real one. Its eyes shot out a fierce gaze as if it could fly out at any time.
The immortal soldier at the front stood still in the air. When he saw the golden ship and the signal arrow on the flagpole, his face lit up. He hurriedly adjusted his armor and jumped down from the Cloud-Stepping Beast, respectfully flying to the front of the golden ship to wait.
"Yu Ping …" Without waiting for Chi Xiaoxia to speak, Xiong Fei flew out from the golden ship and landed in front of the immortal soldier. He frowned and said, "What is this for?"
"Reporting to Banner Leader Xiong …" The immortal soldier called Yu Ping didn't dare to be slow. He bowed and said, "We were ordered by Lord Xiong to patrol this area. Any immortals that come close to He Lan Que must be checked before being allowed to pass."
"En, I got it!" Xiong Fei nodded and said, "Practice seriously. Don't let the Immortal Commandery Lord find any problems."
"Well …" Yu Ping hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Flag Commander, we've received orders that this is not a drill. We can't be careless. If we make any mistakes, the immortal county will definitely punish us severely."
"Ah?" Xiong Fei was taken aback. He asked curiously, "Did something happen to He Lan Que?"
"I don't know about that!" Yu Ping shook his head. "We were ordered to depart from the barracks immediately. We have no idea what happened to He Lan Que!"
"Have you discovered anything while you were patrolling?"
"No, it's the same as before!"
"Other than patrolling, are there any other secret orders?"
"Same as before. During patrolling, all immortals can only enter but not leave. Oh, and all spiritual bodies are prohibited from passing through the defensive line."
"Nothing else special?"
"Nothing else!"
Xiong Fei looked at Yu Ping. He seemed to be asking in a low voice, "Could it be that Deputy Cavalry Officer Zhuo is deliberately mystifying things?"
"Ahem …" Yu Ping smiled bitterly. He coughed lightly and said, "I don't know about that."
"Good!" Xiong Fei nodded and said, "I've been ordered by the cavalry officer to escort Third Young Master back to He Lan Que. When we see him, we'll know."
"Yes, Flag Commander Xiong, please …" Yu Ping naturally wouldn't check Chi Xiaoxia's golden ship. He stepped aside and said respectfully.
When the golden ship passed through the gaps between the cloud pillars, tens of thousands of crimson threads of light flickered in the air. However, these threads of light remained stable under the mottled light of the command arrow, and nothing happened.
Xiong Fei returned to the golden ship and told Uncle Qiu about the patrolling. Uncle Qiu didn't seem to mind. He only said that it was a routine inspection. That Zhuo Qing was just using a chicken feather as a command arrow. Chi Xiaoxia knew this, but he didn't point it out. He urged the golden ship to hurry.
After traveling for another half a day, Xiao Hua gradually heard the sound of war drums beside his ears. A kind of solemn and austere aura of a powerful army similarly thickened. Xiao Hua's heart unconsciously stirred. Walking out of the cabin, he saw Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao looked at Xiao Hua and smiled. "Fellow Immortal Xiao, hurry up. We're about to reach He Lan Que. I'd like to invite you to take a look at the ice river protecting He Lan Que!"
"Ice river protecting He Lan Que?" Hsiao Hua-mei raised his head and smiled. "Just in time to broaden my horizons."
Xiao Hua stood at the bow of the golden ship and looked into the distance. He saw that in the distant sky, there were two colors of multicolored light hanging in the boundless clouds. The multicolored light overflowed, not only dispelling the surrounding clouds, but also piercing through the sky and illuminating the nearby mountain peaks. When it got even closer, Xiao Hua was somewhat dumbfounded. He saw that the cyan light was the Milky Way spilling out of the Blue Sky Nine Heavens, sealing off the space within a radius of a thousand miles. Within the cyan light, there were countless yellow ice cubes. These ice cubes were as small as a fist and as big as a mountain peak. They flowed and collided within the ice river, and the sound of war drums came from these ice cubes.
This … was nothing. Within the sealed space of the ice river, there were layers of inverted mountain peaks that stood between heaven and earth like an illusion. They were completely different from the surrounding mountains!!!
"How is it?" Seeing Xiao Hua's surprise, Liu Xiao felt proud and asked in a low voice, "You can't see this strange scene in Yuan Ling Mountain, right?"
Xiao Hua withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Xiao. He said in all seriousness, "Fellow Immortal Liu, this is the last time I'm telling you this. This Xiao isn't from Yuan Ling Mountain."
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand!" Liu Xiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. However, his expression showed that he didn't believe Xiao Hua's words at all.
Chi Xiaoxia walked out from behind Xiao Hua. He glanced at Liu Xiao and whispered to Xiao Hua, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, please wait in the cabin for a moment. Although my father is a mounted archer …"
Before Chi Xiaoxia could finish, Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Fellow Immortal Chi, you don't need to say more. Xiao understands."
Seeing Xiao Hua hide in the cabin, Liu Xiao transmitted his voice, "Young Master, this little Nascent Soul is of unknown origin. You must be careful!"
"Are you done yet?" Chi Xiaoxia glared at Liu Xiao and said unhappily.
Liu Xiao shrunk his neck and quickly retreated to the side.
"Boom!" Just at this moment, a loud explosion came from the distant ice river. Soon after, an Immortal General and a dozen Immortal Soldiers flew over on an icy cloud.
"Xia Cheng?" Chi Xiaoxia walked out of the cabin and saw the Senjō not far from the golden ship. He was unhappy and said to Xiong Fei, "Why is this guy guarding here?"
"Third Young Master …" Xiong Fei frowned and said, "Even Banner Leader Xia is here. It seems like something has happened in Helan Que."
Chi Xiaoxia waved his hand and said, "Go and send him away. Let's go in quickly!"
"This …" Xiong Fei hesitated and said, "I have some conflicts with Xia Cheng in the past. Let Uncle Qiu go!"
"Okay …" Uncle Qiu heard and agreed quickly. "I will go!"
Who knew that after a while, Uncle Qiu came back with a gloomy face and said, "Young Master, Xia Cheng said that he is under the orders of the Immortal County's Lord. All the immortals entering Helan Que have to be inspected!"
"Damn it, this guy is tired of living!" Chi Xiaoxia was furious. He flew out of the golden ship and landed in front of the Senjō. He pointed at him and scolded, "Xia Cheng, who do you think I am? How dare you inspect my ship? "
"Third Young Master …" The Senjō named Xia Cheng's eyelids didn't even move. He said calmly, "This is the orders of the Immortal County's Lord. This one doesn't dare to disobey. All the immortals entering Helan Que these few days. Not just Young Master, even the relatives of the Immortal County's Lord will have to be inspected! "
"Xia Cheng, you heartless bastard. Every time you go to the Cavalry Manor to find my father, I am the one who introduces you to him!" Chi Xiaoxia was still angry. "My father is still in charge of the Cavalry Manor and hasn't stepped down yet. You are already turning against me …"
Xia Cheng's mouth twitched. He looked around and said helplessly, "Third Young Master, you don't have to be so angry. All the immortals have to be inspected. You are not an exception. Besides, isn't it just an inspection? Third Young Master, there is nothing on your ship that can't be seen. What are you afraid of? Oh, also, big … "
Unfortunately, before Xia Cheng could finish, Chi Xiaoxia was already furious. He shouted, "I want to see who dares to inspect! Uncle Qiu, get ready to charge … "
"Soldiers …" Xia Cheng's expression changed when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "Get ready for battle. Whoever dares to charge in, attack immediately!"
"Yes!" The ten immortal soldiers didn't dare to delay. They replied in unison and stood guard.
"You … You …" Chi Xiaoxia saw that Xia Cheng was serious and was speechless. He pointed at Xia Cheng and was about to scold him when another angry voice came from another direction. "I want to see who dares to inspect my brother's ship!"
"Second … Second Brother?" Chi Xiaoxia almost groaned when he heard this voice. He turned around and saw a white jade flying ship flying across the sky. A silver figure turned into a stream of light and landed on the ship. When the figure stopped, the silver light faded and revealed an immortal wearing a scholar's robe.
