Chapter 168: Chapter 156: Watching my ceremony? How come I don’t know (Request for monthly ticket)_2

Logically speaking, if this person was killed by a sword, the broken flesh should carry residual fluctuations of Sword Qi. Moreover, flesh torn by Sword Qi would have neat cuts, which they are very familiar with, but the state of this flesh was clearly not the case.

"I heard there’s also a young master."

Then, the head disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect burst through the half-collapsed temple and saw Chen Yuan inside, calmly and leisurely watching wave after wave of people break into this desolate mountain copy.

Another wave of people!

He saw the Flying Boat soaring in the sky; there weren’t few people indeed, quite lively.

When that head disciple of Shu Mountain entered, Chen Yuan happened to lower his head, locking eyes with those pale golden pupils, and in an instant, the Sword Ball bestowed by his master inside him, emitted an intense quivering.

This was a stern warning!

The person before him was very dangerous!

Such a situation only occurred when encountering a Fourth Heavenly Barrier senior from his own sect, indicating that this person was indeed a powerful man of the Heavenly Pass!

The head disciple was suddenly startled. When Chen Yuan gazed at him interestingly, he felt as though he was being seen through completely.

"I’ve seen the senior, junior Ji Wuming of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!"

His face changed color slightly but quickly returned to normal; as a head disciple of one of the Nine Peaks of Shu Mountain, he still possessed such composure. He performed a respectful gesture and bowed slightly.

The fellow sect disciples following behind him were shocked, and exclaimed, "Brother!"

But he hurriedly passed on a message,

"This person is a senior of the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, must not be neglected."

The disciples were startled and quickly made a respectful bow, shouting in unison, "Senior."

Chen Yuan didn’t expect that within this short resting period, from demons, common folks, to noble families, and "famous heroes" of the worldly society, to the disciples of the sect in uniform, all gathered here, turning this quiet rainy night into an extraordinarily lively event.

However, he sensed something unusual from these people.

"Are you also heading to Jingguan City?" Chen Yuan asked, his gaze flickering.

"Replying to the senior, yes! Now that Youmen Pass has been broken, the Demon Suppression Envoy guarding Ten Thousand Mountains has fallen, and the demons in Ten Thousand Mountains will surge northward. The Government Administrative Office has issued a summoning order, calling for all major sects to convene in Jingguan City to discuss major strategies. Our sect’s seniors will follow later; we younger disciples are going ahead to the ceremony on behalf of the sect!" The head disciple of Shu Mountain replied respectfully, revealing some basic information while also bringing up his sect’s seniors.

Chen Yuan listened and indeed, the fall of Youmen Pass had set off a chain reaction.

For example, the Zhao father and daughter were taken to Jingguan City for refuge.

The so-called heroes claimed they were joining the Mountain-cutting Army for battle.

And these sects were going to meet in Jingguan City to discuss countermeasures, after all, one’s prosperity or loss affects all.

However, the last phrase about attending a ceremony at the Government Administrative Office, he didn’t quite understand.

"Oh, you are going to the Government Administrative Office for a ceremony? Tell me more!"

"Replying to the senior, it is for the enthronement of a newly appointed Colonel of the Ninth Mountain. According to the sect, the Administrative Office rarely holds such a grand ceremony."

Chen Yuan’s eyelids twitched slightly.

An enthronement for him?

Why hadn’t he received the news?

Listening to this Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciple’s words, the Administrative Office obviously had invited not only the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. He pondered for a moment.

The Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciple, seeing his reaction, tentatively asked:

"Senior, are you also heading to Jingguan City?"

"If so, you can travel together aboard our sect’s Flying Cloud Boat. The boat can cover thousands of miles day and night, and is expected to arrive in Jingguan City by tomorrow afternoon, saving you from facing the wind and the hardships of the journey!"

Chen Yuan looked approvingly at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciple before him. He found his speech and conduct to be agreeable.

"That would be most excellent, thank you for the trouble!"

"Not at all!"

Chen Yuan smiled, then stepped out of the temple, followed closely by a few Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciples.

Outside, the gazes of the crowd fell first upon Chen Yuan, observing his preceding and following actions, which were somewhat surprising.

Chen Yuan looked at that Yan Shisan with a smile that was not quite a smile, then with a sway of his feet, he disappeared from the spot.

And several Shu Mountain Disciples walked up to Yun Zhuosheng, saying, "Gentlemen, please follow us onto the boat, we are ready to depart!"

"Who was that person just now?" Yun Zhuosheng asked, somewhat suspicious.

"Don’t ask about him. Quickly pack your things, and we will take you aboard," said that Shu Mountain Disciple, skillfully avoiding the subject.

Yun Zhuosheng, who was naturally no fool, eyes flickered rapidly, realizing the man must be no ordinary person and acknowledging that he had overlooked many details.

At that moment, a voice full of righteousness and clarity rang out.

"My Shu Mountain Taoist friends, I, Yan Shisan, also wish to travel to Jingguan City, may I board the ship?"

Yan Shisan, clad in a straw cape, with bright eyes and hands clasped, looked dignified.

But the Head Disciple spoke indifferently, "I’m sorry, the sect’s Flying Boat does not take casual passengers."

From his previous behavior, it was clear that this ’hero’ was somewhat untrustworthy.

"Miss, Hero Yan..." the naive maid Little Juan, not understanding the current situation and thinking that Hero Yan had saved them, wondered why the Immortal Sword Lords could bring them but not this good man.

"Silence!" Suddenly, Yun Zhuosheng turned and glaring fiercely at the maid, rebuked her in a low voice, causing her to fall silent in fright.

Beside him, the gentle lady Zhao Yunluo, however, remained silent.

For a moment, there stood the renowned Yan Shisan of Western Shu, his eyelids twitching, striving to maintain his composure,

"No matter, then. My apologies for the disturbance!"

The Shu Mountain Disciples paid him no heed, addressed the Zhao Family group, saying, "Let’s go!"

With that, their hands gestured, and a streak of sword light appeared beneath their feet. Amid several screams and cries, they soared into the air and headed straight for the twinkling Flying Boat under the night sky.

In a short while, the Flying Boat buzzed, a white mist appearing around it, then with a whirring sound like a jet, it whooshed, taking the Flying Boat into the high skies, speeding towards the direction of Jingguan City!

This left the lone figure standing in front of the dilapidated temple, whose expression finally could no longer be maintained, turning extremely ugly.

.......

On the Flying Boat, there were many people, listening to Ji Wuming saying that he was accompanying those familiar with the path to Shu Mountain.

In room after room beneath the flickering lights, shadows could be dimly seen.

Chen Yuan entered a room on the top level of the Flying Boat arranged by the Chief Disciple Ji Wuming, where an ancient fragrance lingered, drifting gently.

"My senior, please make do for the night!"

"Thank you for the trouble!"

"You’re welcome!"

This scene, witnessed by many behind the window, stirred surprise.

And this scene, also seen by the Zhao Family following from below, evoked varied expressions; curiosity, bewilderment, and amazement.

A Shu Mountain Disciple arranged for the Zhao Family members and prepared to leave.

But then Yun Zhuosheng hurried out the door, "I thank this senior brother."

Having said that, with hesitancy on his face, he then quietly inquired,

"May I ask if Senior Brother knows that person?"

This Shu Mountain Disciple seemed to see through Yun Zhuosheng’s thoughts, carefully gauging the emotions on his face and considering his previous statements, his brows furrowed like swords, seriously saying, "Did you perhaps make an enemy of that person in that dilapidated temple?"

Yun Zhuosheng was startled by the serious change in the Shu Mountain senior brother’s expression, quickly shaking his head.

"No, not at all!"

"That’s good then!"

"Go and rest early!"
