Ling Mo Xie no longer obstructed anything, merely smiling as he watched the Long Family members flee as if escaping. He considered it a way to collect interest, letting the Long Family suffer a small loss. After all, even a cornered rabbit would bite, not to mention the Long Family had significant power in Wen Dao City.
Hong Chi waved his fist in the direction of the departing Long Family members, snorting in dissatisfaction. "Hmph! Coming to cause trouble again, pretending to be some kind of thug. It's laughable; is this what they call a Big Family?"
"Perhaps it's more than that!" Ling Mo Xie narrowed his eyes. At this point, he had almost pieced together the whole story and smiled at Hong Chi, saying, "Do you remember that little beggar who stole my ring? He ran straight outside the city; he probably wants to lure us out!"
"How do you know?" Hong Chi was taken aback by Ling Mo Xie's words and looked at him with confusion. He hadn't thought of it that way.
Ling Mo Xie replied nonchalantly, "Isn't it simple? If they were really thieves, knowing the owner would chase after them, they should use their familiarity with the city to evade capture. Just think about it; outside the city is a wide road!"
After hearing Ling Mo Xie's explanation, Hong Chi scratched his head and nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for today. Let's head back; tomorrow we’ll go see that legendary Taoist Sect!" Ling Mo Xie said, seeing that the Long Family had spoiled his mood and decided not to continue walking.
The usually playful Hong Chi didn't make a fuss either; he just nodded. Perhaps he also understood how dangerous their situation in Wen Dao City was right now.
It was like waving a large piece of gold in front of others.
The Daoist Order Decree was far more attractive than gold. After all, even the Grand Elders within the Taoist Sect couldn't guarantee they would succeed in overcoming tribulations. Historically, those who had used the Daoist Order Decree not only understood the rules of heaven and earth better but also wielded more powerful spells. None had failed in their tribulations; it could be said to be a hundred percent success rate.
Thus, it was evident how strong the allure of the Daoist Order Decree was for those in the Taoist Sect. Even those high-ranking Elders who had never used it likely found it appealing and were more anxious than ordinary people since they faced Heavenly Tribulation sooner than others. The Scattered Immortal Elders faced the same situation; they too would confront Heavenly Tribulation.
Ordinary Scattered Immortals typically perished after three or four tribulations. However, with the Daoist Order Decree, they might successfully overcome the ninth layer of Heavenly Tribulation after nine thousand years and ascend.
Upon returning to Listening to the Wind Pavilion, Chen Yan seemed to sense the current situation and stopped causing a ruckus. She merely urged Ling Mo Xie to quickly find her other fragrances; Please Summon Fragrance was nearly depleted. Although it didn’t eat or die, its mood would be quite poor!
Ling Mo Xie felt helpless; this was a threat to himself. However, since there was such a Task, he still had to take it seriously, but he would have to wait until after using the Daoist Order Decree.
A night passed, and early the next morning, Xu Qingfeng came over very attentively. His attitude was so enthusiastic that Ling Mo Xie couldn't handle it and asked Xu Qingfeng with some confusion, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Xu Qingfeng did not respond as usual; instead, he appeared somewhat restrained in front of Ling Mo Xie.
This left Ling Mo Xie even more puzzled. What was this guy up to?
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Qingfeng had learned about Chen Yan's identity and believed that behind Ling Mo Xie, there must be someone significant standing there. Otherwise, such a divine beast could only exist in distant legends—not just legends, but far-off legends!
It should be noted that in today's Cultivation World, there hadn't been a True Dragon appearing for over ten thousand years. The so-called True Dragon was merely a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, diluted through countless generations, possessing an extremely thin bloodline. In legend, Suanni was considered the son of a dragon!
Currently, the so-called dragons in the Cultivation World were merely snakes and flood dragons with dragon bloodlines. Once they transformed into the lowest level of dragons, they were almost at the stage of the Tribulation Period ready to ascend to the immortal realm.
Thus, Xu Qingfeng naturally believed that there was someone "above" Ling Mo Xie!
And for Ling Mo Xie, who had someone "above," he certainly could not act as recklessly as before!
Amidst Ling Mo Xie's gloomy expression, Xu Qingfeng led two people and one beast out of Wen Dao City, heading towards the direction of the Taoist Sect.
The Taoist Sect was not far from Wen Dao City, located on a towering mountain just outside the city, similar in location to ordinary sects.
However, it wasn't until they reached the foot of the mountain that Ling Mo Xie realized the difference between the Taoist Sect and ordinary sects. From a distance, this mountain seemed like any other towering peak; such mountains were common in the Cultivation World, many of which were artificially created. Therefore, establishing a sect on such a high mountain wasn't particularly rare.
But upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ling Mo Xie discovered that this mountain was far more majestic than he had imagined. Initially appearing cylindrical and reaching into the sky from afar, he soon realized that this mountain extended endlessly on both sides; it was impossible to see its end at a glance.
This only made Ling Mo Xie marvel at the size of the mountain. However, when Xu Qingfeng took Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi flying upwards, Ling Mo Xie was even more astonished.
This mountain was not just towering into the clouds; it seemed to pierce the sky. After flying through one layer of clouds, there was another layer, yet the peak of the mountain was still not in sight. Xu Qingfeng had already informed Ling Mo Xie that the Taoist Sect was established at the summit of this mountain. If it weren't for that, Ling Mo Xie would have seriously doubted whether this mountain had a peak at all.
"From here on, you need to pay attention and stick closely to me!" Xu Qingfeng suddenly stopped and said seriously to Ling Mo Xie.
"Huh?" Ling Mo Xie looked at Xu Qingfeng with some confusion. Could there still be danger? Although his cultivation level seemed too low in the eyes of the Taoist Sect, he thought he could manage flying a few more layers.
Xu Qingfeng patiently explained to Ling Mo Xie, "It won't be that simple from here on. You could say it's a small barrier outside the Taoist Sect. Although the Gate Master has already lifted the formation at the mountain gate to bring you up, that natural barrier cannot be removed immediately even by the Gate Master. After all, this Taoist Sect was established by the Master Ancestor, not by the Gate Master himself."
Ling Mo Xie nodded and remarked, "If I hadn't come to the Taoist Sect, I could never have imagined that there were mountains this high in the world. The Master Ancestor of the Taoist Sect must be a legendary figure to have found such a place and built a sect on top of it."
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Xu Qingfeng smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with admiration as he said, "This mountain is named Heavenly Pillar by those in the Cultivation World and holds a high status there. Initially, no one thought about establishing a sect on this mountain; it seemed too incredible and nearly impossible for them. But the Master Ancestor dared to think what others did not dare to think and actually accomplished it, which led to the establishment of the Taoist Sect that now dominates the Cultivation World!"
After a moment of reflection, Xu Qingfeng urged Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi to prepare themselves and follow closely behind him. He then charged upward into this layer of clouds.
Ling Mo Xie understood from Xu Qingfeng's warning that the path ahead would not be easy and did not dare to slack off. He quickly pulled Hong Chi along to follow.
"Ugh!" Ling Mo Xie groaned as he burst through the cloud layer; it turned out to be a thick layer of fierce winds. The violent winds were howling around them, while Xu Qingfeng had already expended his cultivation energy to maintain a Shield that protected Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi behind him. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just groaning for Ling Mo Xie.
The fierce winds were painful, like being cut by thousands of blades. Even with Xu Qingfeng's Shield blocking many of the more intense winds, some still managed to slip through. Although they had dissipated considerably, they were still tormenting for Ling Mo Xie.
Hong Chi was even more cautious; he didn't dare transform into flames for fear of being scattered by these winds. Instead, he obediently held onto Ling Mo Xie's back tightly, completely losing his usual curiosity about exploring new places.
However, Shen Yan lived up to its reputation as a legendary beast; amidst these fierce winds, it followed Ling Mo Xie leisurely as if strolling through a garden.
It was indeed walking, not flying. With each step it took, clouds formed beneath its feet to support it, and those clouds seemed unaffected by the fierce winds at all.
Xu Qingfeng looked on and couldn't help but sigh deeply. It truly was a legendary divine beast. Even when he traversed this layer of fierce winds alone, he wouldn't dare to be so careless, let alone stroll leisurely like Chen Yan.
"Alright, we are about to pass through the layer of fierce winds," Xu Qingfeng suddenly slowed down a bit and said to Ling Mo Xie.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry through!" Ling Mo Xie quickly replied, having had enough of this layer of fierce winds; it was truly a torment.
However, Xu Qingfeng helplessly said, "Next is a layer of heavenly fire. Be careful and stay behind me."
Ling Mo Xie's expression stiffened, and his heart raced as if ten thousand wild horses were galloping through it. No wonder Xu Qingfeng looked so serious; it seemed that the heavenly fire was not much better than the fierce winds.
With Ling Mo Xie's anxious feelings, the group passed through the layer of fierce winds and instantly entered a realm resembling a Fire Sea, hot enough to roast anyone alive. Even Xu Qingfeng, who was in the Tribulation Period, couldn't help but sweat.
On the contrary, Hong Chi instantly perked up from a gloomy state and joyfully ran out from behind Ling Mo Xie, playing merrily in the flames. This... this little child he had always overlooked had such abilities?
However, with Hong Chi around, they found it much easier. As a Fire Spirit, Hong Chi had control over all fires in the world, including heavenly fire. With Hong Chi controlling the heavenly fire, Ling Mo Xie and the others naturally wouldn't be harmed by it anymore.
Chen Yan remained calm as ever. Even without Hong Chi around, the heavenly fire would avoid it; it could also control some flames itself, so the heavenly fire wasn't enough to pose any threat to it.
