Mount Tangwu!
This mountain was located in the eastern border of Central State, in the territory of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty. It was called the Emperor Mountain by all the people of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty.
Legend had it that thousands of years ago, the Great Yin Emperor, Emperor Xuan Ke, had comprehended heaven and earth on this mountain and reached the Emperor's Throne Stage. Over the years, countless people had worshipped this mountain. Every year, they would rush to the mountainside to burn incense and pray for blessings.
On the way to the eastern border, a giant black ape that was 30 meters tall leaped between the mountains and crossed the rivers as if it was walking on flat ground.
When countless people saw this scene along the way, they thought that a ferocious beast had appeared. They were so scared that their faces turned pale and they retreated.
On the back of the giant black ape, there was an empty space of about 50 square meters. It was covered with straw mats, and Ye Chen and the rest were sitting there.
"Daddy, this monster is so magical!"
Mengmeng climbed onto the railing and stared at the giant black ape with her eyes wide open.
She could not understand why the monster that her father refined could grow and shrink even though it was lifeless.
Even Xiao Hei and the Nine Carving Phoenix were shocked speechless by Ye Chen's abilities. It was clearly a puppet that was dead, but it was like a real giant ape.
Ye Chen explained patiently. Since ancient times, Earth had such mechanisms. For example, Lu Ban had created stone grinders, siege ladders, ink dippers, and other things that had influenced the future.
In the cultivation world, there was no lack of people who studied these strange things. Therefore, mechanical puppets came into being. As long as a spirit stone was embedded in it, it would have enough energy to move.
The Nine Carving Phoenix praised sincerely, "Master, according to the speed of this mechanical puppet, we'll be able to reach Mount Tangwu in less than two hours …"
Ye Chen nodded lightly. Just when he was about to speak, he heard a crisp voice coming from afar, "Senior brother from the Gongshu family, please wait!"
Ye Chen looked in the direction of his gaze when he heard that. He saw a flying ship that had sunk into the sea three thousand meters away to the south. There were three men and one woman in the air.
The woman in red was waving at him as if she was asking for help. Ye Chen ignored her and continued to move the giant black ape forward!
When she saw this, the woman in red was so angry that she stomped her feet. A young man in black behind her instantly sneered, "Junior Sister, that person is so arrogant. He actually ignored us …"
As soon as he was done speaking, he charged at Ye Chen and the rest. Unfortunately, he happened to block their way.
Ye Chen ordered the giant black ape to stop and glared at him coldly. Xiao Hei and the Nine Carving Luan's gazes turned hostile.
The black-clothed youth said arrogantly, "Brother, my Junior Sister asked you to wait. Didn't you hear her?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Hei looked at Ye Chen as if asking for his opinion. Should he kill him directly or teach him a lesson?
"Senior Brother Mo Rong, don't act recklessly!"
At this time, the woman in red caught up with the other two people. The woman in red glared at the black-robed young man.
She then clasped her fists at Ye Chen and said politely, "Greetings, Senior Brother from the Gongshu family. I'm Mo Hongxiu from the Mo family. I apologize to Senior Brother Mo Rong. “
Her words and actions were very polite, which made Ye Chen's frown slowly relax, "Why did you stop me?"
"Senior Brother, we were planning to go to Mount Tangwu in the east, but something happened to the flying boat and it fell into the water …"
Mo Hongxiu glanced at the giant black ape secretly. Her pretty face heated up as she said shyly, "So, can I ride on your puppet …"
She looked at Ye Chen in anticipation after saying that.
Ye Chen was surprised, "You guys are going to Mount Tangwu too?"
"Senior Brother, you're going to Mount Tangwu too? That's great. "
Mo Hongxiu was stunned at first when she heard that. Then, she said happily, "Senior Brother, please help us since we're from Jixia Academy."
Ye Chen wanted to reject her, but he asked by instinct when he heard Jixia Academy, "What's your relationship with Ning Haoran?"
Ning Haoran was Grand Tutor Ning. When Ye Chen was in the Great Li Dynasty in the Tianfeng sea area, Grand Tutor Ning had helped him a lot.
After that, Ye Chen found out that Grand Tutor Ning had fallen out with Shang Wudao and left the Great Li Dynasty to return to Jixia Academy in Zhongzhou.
Before Mo Hongxiu could speak, Mo Rong was furious, "How dare you call Mountain Master Ning by his name?"
This time, it was Mo Hongxiu's turn to look at him in surprise, "Senior Brother, you're also from Jixia Academy. Don't you know that Mountain Master Ning is the deputy mountain master of the Legalism Academy?"
"Who told you that I'm from Jixia Academy?" Ye Chen shook his head lightly and said while smiling, "Moreover, I'm not from the Gongshu family."
"That's impossible, right?"
Mo Hongxiu's eyes widened as she sized up the black ape. "In the entire Ancient Barren World, only the Gongshu family and the people from Jixia Academy's School of Mechanics can create such an exquisite mechanical puppet."
She said awkwardly when she saw that Ye Chen's expression did not seem to be fake as she said to this point, "I mistook you for someone else. I'm sorry …"
She turned around to leave after saying that.
Ye Chen stopped her and said while shaking his head, "Forget it. I'll bring you guys along for Ning Haoran's sake!"
"That's great. Thank you!"
Mo Hongxiu was overjoyed. She then boarded the black puppet with the three of them behind her.
…
The giant black ape proceeded to move forward.
Mo Hongxiu introduced them to everyone as soon as she got up. Ye Chen then learned that the three people behind her were Mo Rong, Mo Nan, and Mo Ming. The four of them were from Jixia Academy in Chinatown.
However, compared to Mo Hongxiu's politeness, Mo Rong and the other two looked rather arrogant when they faced Ye Chen and the rest. They seemed to be proud that they came from Jixia Academy.
Mo Hongxiu lifted her eyes to take a good look at Ye Chen and the rest after she was done introducing them, "Senior Brother, I don't know your names yet."
Ye Chen said while smiling, "Just call me Senior Brother Ye."
On the other hand, Xiao Hei and the Nine Carving Luan were not interested in the four of them.
Especially the Nine Carving Luan, it could be said to be disdainful. With its identity, even some of the mountain masters in Jixia Academy had to call themselves juniors when they saw it. The only person that it respected was the head of the academy.
Mo Hongxiu did not mind that Xiao Hei and the other two were ignoring her. Perhaps it was her first time out, so she chatted with Ye Chen without any hesitation.
Mo Rong, who was next to her, glared at Ye Chen and the other three coldly. He then exchanged glances with Mo Nan and the other two next to him. He seemed to dislike Xiao Hei and the rest for ignoring them.
"Master, this girl has an extraordinary background. If I'm not mistaken, she should be the daughter of Jixia Academy's Mo School's mountain master."
The Nine Carving Luan secretly spoke to Ye Chen through voice transmission. It added at the end of its sentence, "The position of the Mo School's mountain master has always been held by the Mo School's master."
"So what?" Ye Chen did not care at all.
"No!"
The Nine Carving Luan said in a deep voice, "You can ignore the Mo School's master, but there's one person that you must pay attention to!"
