After watching the two of them leave, Lei Zongkang raised his hand and fished out the gold notes that Black Peony had stuffed into his collar. He slowly smoothed them out in his hand, silent and dejected.
Duan Hu and Wu San's gazes fell on him. They understood his mood and walked over, flashing the gold notes in their hands. Their intentions were the same.
Seeing so much money, the three of them felt a little emotional. They had suffered so much humiliation for a hundred thousand gold coins. Now, with the addition of Black Peony's money, they had two hundred thousand gold coins. It was enough to start a sect. But in just a few days, who would still think about starting a sect?
All of them had lost interest in starting a sect. They had been so eager to do so before, but now they realized that the previous idea was quite boring!
What was the point of starting a sect? Wasn't it just for this?
Besides, even if they wanted to start a sect now, they wouldn't dare. The people of Star picking City were not blind. They were carrying big and small bags in Star picking City. As long as the three sects spent some time and investigated, they would find out what they had done. It would be strange if they let them go. You could start a sect today, but tomorrow, you could be exterminated. You had really boarded a pirate ship!
Two figures flashed out of the forest, crossed the official road, and flew to the opposite peak. In front of them was a dangerous land shrouded in fog. They couldn't ride a horse, so they could only walk. Most importantly, they didn't know anything about the internal situation of Cloudcrossing Mountain.
The two of them flew out one after another, gliding between the lofty mountains and lofty ridges.
They hadn't flown far when two black spots came whistling from the clouds in front of them. Two stalagmites shot toward them.
The two of them flipped to the side, avoiding the stalagmites. Both of them landed on the hill below.
"Who dares trespass on Cloudcrossing Mountain!" A stern shout came from the clouds.
The two of them opened their transcendence vision and saw gray demonic aura rolling in the stirring clouds.
Two figures shot out from the clouds and landed in front of the two of them, holding long spears. One of them had thick black fur on the back of his hands, and the other had scales on his face. It was obvious at a glance that they were small demons with insufficient cultivation and had yet to completely transform.
The two demons glared fiercely at the two of them, holding their spears vigilantly. The Scaled Armored Demon shouted, "If you want to live, get out of Crossing Clouds Mountain immediately!"
The two of them wouldn't dare to act recklessly on Cloudcrossing Mountain just because there were two little demons in front of them. Black Peony cupped his hands and said, "I am Black Peony, a friend of Cloudcrossing Mountain's Hu Xiaoxiao. I have come to pay a visit. Please pass on a message."
The two monsters looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. The scaly monster then waved his hand, "I've never heard of Hu Xiaoxiao. Leave immediately, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Black Peony was a little embarrassed and quickly explained to Niu Youdao in a low voice, "Hu Xiaoxiao is indeed from Mt. Duyun. Perhaps there are too many people in Mt. Duyun, and they have never heard of him …"
Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop, indicating that there was no need to explain as he could understand. If he was really a famous person in Mt. Duyun, the two demons wouldn't have said 'never heard of him' to offend Hu Xiaoxiao. He then smiled at the two demons and said, "He's just a little demon. It's normal that the two of you haven't heard of him. Yun Huan must have heard of him, right?"
The two demons were startled. How could the demon cultivators of Cloudcrossing Mountain not have heard of Yun Huan? The owner of Cloudcrossing Mountain was Yun Ji, who was addressed as the Mountain Chieftain. Yun Ji's son was the current head of Cloudcrossing Mountain. It would be strange if the people below didn't know who the head was.
The black-furred demon asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
Niu Youdao said, "We are wandering rogue cultivators. Let's not talk about them. I've long heard of Head Yun's great name. Passing by your precious land, I've come to pay a visit. This is a small greeting gift for Head Yun. Please pass it on for me and help me pass on the message!" He took out ten gold notes from his sleeve and handed it over to Black Peony, hinting for her to hand it over.
Black Peony was speechless. She realized that this person was really generous. He was generous no matter where he went. She took the gold notes and handed them over under the watchful eyes of the two demons.
When the two demons received the gold notes, they checked them. A hundred thousand gold coins! They couldn't help but look at each other. They had never seen so much money in one go!
The black-furred demon checked the notes one by one, then handed them over to the scaly demon. "Take a look and see if they're real."
The corners of Niu Youdao's mouth curled up into a smile. No one knew what he was smiling about.
The scaly demon checked the notes one by one again. He tilted his head and whispered into the black-furred demon's ear, "They shouldn't be fake."
The black-furred demon immediately kept the gold notes in his hand. His tone became much gentler. He cupped his fists and said, "May I ask for the names of the two of you?"
"Xuanyuan Dao!"
"Black Peony!"
"I've noted it down. Please wait a moment. Allow me to pass on the message!" The black-furred demon said politely. He then quickly flew away.
Although the scaly demon was still monitoring the two of them, his attitude was clearly more respectful. At the very least, he was no longer scowling at them.
A person who gave a huge sum of money as a greeting gift would never take a little demon like him seriously. The guests were probably not ordinary people. He had at least this much insight.
This change in attitude caused Black Peony to sigh inwardly. She realized that this Daoye was a little simple and crude. He didn't waste time talking to the two little demons, but immediately threw money at them. But it was really simple and effective. He directly suppressed the arrogant little demon!
Niu Youdao didn't care. He held his sword in front of him and looked around calmly, as if he was admiring the scenery surrounded by clouds.
Black Peony couldn't help but look at the sword in his hand. She also realized this problem with Niu Youdao. In the hands of this Daoye, the sword seemed to be no different from a walking stick.
After waiting for a while, a thin man flashed out of the clouds. The black-furred demon followed closely behind.
"This one is Hou Qingtian." The thin man cupped his hands and introduced himself. "May I know where you two esteemed guests have come from?"
Niu Youdao: "I'm just a wandering loose cultivator."
"A wandering cultivator?" Hou Qingtian chuckled. A wandering cultivator gave out a hundred thousand gold notes. Wasn't this bullshit? Since the other party was unwilling to tell the truth, he didn't ask anymore. "You two wish to see our boss?"
Niu Youdao nodded. "Yes."
Hou Qingtian: "Why have you come?"
Niu Youdao: "I've heard of your reputation and come to visit!"
Hou Qingtian gave a noncommittal "Oh." It wasn't clear whether he believed it or not. But he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for waiting. Please follow me!"
The two of them then followed him and flew away, rising and falling between the mountains that were shrouded in clouds and mist.
However, Black Peony noticed that Niu Youdao had calmly thrown out the fragrant bait that Lei Zongkang had given him along the way.
It was a black and steep mountain shrouded in fog. There was a platform halfway up the mountain, and the two of them landed on it.
There was a cave on the mountain wall. The entrance of the cave was grand and carved like a palace door.
As soon as the three of them landed, several people immediately appeared on both sides. They formed a half-moon shape and surrounded the three of them.
Black Peony's heart tightened. Niu Youdao glanced at them coldly.
Hou Qingtian turned around and said with a smile, "Please don't blame the two of you. There are often people who don't know what's good for them. Therefore, the mountain has its own rules. I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience the two of you and temporarily restrict your transcendence energy!"
Black Peony looked at Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao nodded calmly and said, "No problem!" He threw out the sword in his hand.
Hou Qingtian caught it and turned to catch the sword that Black Peony threw over. He waved his hand to signal and someone immediately came forward to place a restriction on the two of them.
Hou Qingtian passed the two swords to the person beside him and extended his hand to invite them in. "This way please!"
The three of them entered the cave. The cave passage was pitch black. Hou Qingtian released the Moon Butterfly to illuminate the path.
They arrived at a flight of stairs. When they reached the end, they found themselves in a palace.
The area was not small, but there was a pungent smell coming from the hissing pythons that were entrenched in the cave. The moment they arrived, the pythons turned their heads to look at them.
There were Moon Butterflies clinging to the stone walls of the cave, illuminating the situation inside. However, it made the cave even more eerie and terrifying.
Hou Qingtian asked the two of them to wait for a while before he quickly went to the rear hall.
Not long after, Hou Qingtian quickly came out again and stood on the side of the stairs under the throne in the rear hall.
Not long after, a rustling sound came from the rear hall. A black snake with green eyes and a glossy sheen slithered out. It was as thick as a water bucket and more than ten meters long. It slithered directly towards the stairs to the throne.
The moment the black snake climbed up the stairs, its head began to wriggle and transform into a human head. It twisted its head and the rest of its body quickly followed suit. It continued to transform and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a black-clothed brawny man. He had a black leather waistband around his waist and black leather wrist guards around his wrists. He had a stocky build and walked up the stairs step by step.
Snake Demon Transformation! Niu Youdao secretly clicked his tongue. His horizons had been broadened again today!
The brawny man turned around and sat on the stone seat. He had quite an imposing manner as he looked down at the people below.
Hou Qingtian introduced, "The two of you, this is our Cloud Crossing Mountain's leader."
Niu Youdao and Black Peony cupped their hands together. "Greetings, Head Yun."
A slight smile appeared on Yun Huan's face. "May I know what advice the two of you have for me?"
Niu Youdao said, "I wouldn't dare to advise you. I've traveled the world and made friends everywhere. I've passed by your precious land and have long heard of Head's great name, so I've come to pay a visit and befriend you!"
Yun Huan smiled faintly. There was a hint of malice in his voice as he asked, "That's it?"
He held up ten gold notes in his hand. It was obvious that they had been handed over by Niu Youdao earlier.
Seeing the other party's lofty appearance, Niu Youdao knew that the other party had no intention of slowly exchanging pleasantries with him. He immediately nodded. "It's that simple! Seeing Head's elegant demeanor today, I know that your reputation is well-deserved. I admire you from the bottom of my heart and am unable to contain my joy. I wish to become sworn brothers with Head of the opposite sex. I wonder if Head is willing? "He cupped his fists again.
"…" Hou Qingtian was stunned speechless. He thought to himself, 'This person must be sick. Who are you? Who do you think you are? We haven't even spoken much since you arrived. I don't even know your background and you want to become sworn brothers with our head? How dare you say that! '
"…" Black Peony slowly turned around to look at Niu Youdao. She was dumbfounded.
"…" Yun Huan, who was sitting on top, was also a little stunned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He stared at Niu Youdao with an uncertain gaze as if he was trying to figure out the meaning of this.
