Chapter 1309: Chapter 441: Old Demon Ji Returns to Cangluo! [Monthly Pass Requested]_3

"I am a cultivator from Dongyu Mountain, Ji Kang."

Ji Kang nodded.

"Dongyu Mountain?"

Ji Yuan naturally knew of this place; it was located opposite the Water Dragon Sect, with only the Starfall River separating them.

In earlier years, when Ji Yuan was still at the Water Dragon Sect, before the great war between the righteous and the demon path had begun.

This Dongyu Mountain was the largest market in all of Shang Dong.

How is it possible that now it has become an Immortal Sect?

Could it be that the Cangluo Continent is no longer ruled by the demon path?

In his heart, Ji Yuan was puzzled, but he didn’t linger on this thought. With a slight nod, he immediately transformed into escape light and left the place.

After he flew from the teleportation port, he could still see the first escape lights that had left before him.

Although the vast majority went into the Coastal City.

Some escape lights, however, flew towards the north and south ends, for example... the Ice and Fire Elder!

After he left the teleportation port, he didn’t go to the Coastal City but flew straight towards the southwest.

Ji Yuan watched his retreating figure, hesitated slightly, but decided to follow.

"Eh, Master, why are you following him?"

Tu Yue couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity after noticing this.

"To see what urgent task he has for returning so hastily."

Ji Yuan responded with heart-voice in his sea of consciousness.

Based on the previous conversation between Ice and Fire Elder and Nine Sha Venerable, it seems Ice and Fire have accepted some task from Celestial Killer Mountain, such as helping explore a secret realm, and even received an advance payment.

Being paid in advance surely means an agreement was reached.

Yet even so, Ice and Fire Elder is still risking the breach of contract and the offense of Celestial Killer Mountain to urgently return to Cangluo Continent.

What could be so urgent to prompt him?

Even if something happened at Ice and Fire Island, no, since the righteous and demon path war began, he has abandoned Ice and Fire Island.

But no matter what it is, to pull his heartstrings so tightly... it must be something big!

Ji Yuan now had no particular duty, and besides, Thunder Shock Marsh itself is located southwest of the Coastal City.

So this trip could be considered on the way.

Being a Peak Core Formation cultivator, Ice and Fire Elder’s speed was extremely fast, but even muddling up his pace, Ji Yuan could easily keep up.

They flew for about two days, one ahead and one behind.

It seemed Ice and Fire Elder received a transmission, then changed direction and flew east for an hour, finally landing in a valley.

Ji Yuan stopped in mid-air, choosing not to follow directly.

Because long before Ice and Fire Elder arrived, Ji Yuan already sensed that there was another Peak Core Formation cultivator in that valley.

A long-faced man in white robes, looking like he was in his sixties, yet the nine-ringed saber strapped to his back was extremely conspicuous.

There was no array formation here, which was the main reason Ji Yuan chose not to follow.

After Ice and Fire Elder met him, they started communicating with sound transmission directly, which further dissuaded Ji Yuan from following.

"Master, what do you think they’re discussing?"

Tu Yue asked curiously.

"I don’t know, but soon we’ll follow and find out."

Ice and Fire Elder wouldn’t spend heavily to come back just to meet with this man.

The two meeting must have other affairs!

Just as expected, after their meeting and half-hour discussion, Ice and Fire Elder consumed several drops of thousand-year-old spirit milk to restore his mana, then followed the man again, flying southeast.

Wearing Spirit Devouring Armor and a concealed conical hat, Ji Yuan waited a moment before catching up once more.

Thus flying for several more days, the two kept adjusting directions.

But regardless of how much adjusting, under Ji Yuan’s divine sense, it was futile.

But the further he went, Ji Yuan realized the surroundings became increasingly familiar.

Because he had been to these parts!

He looked toward the direction the two were headed, slowly halting his advancement.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

Tu Yue quickly asked.

"If I’m correct, the two of them should be headed to... Cloud Peak."

Ji Yuan said slowly.

"Cloud Peak?! Isn’t that where you forged the Cloud Palace Sword, Master?"

"Yes."

Viewing the Cloud Sea atop Cloud Peak.

Every full moon night, you could see a whirlpool in the Cloud Sea from Cloud Peak.

It was precisely here that Ji Yuan first met Mei Manor.

Only at that time, he didn’t know it was Mei Manor.

"Let’s go, we’ll proceed faster and intercept them ahead."

Ji Yuan said, abruptly speeding up, spending the better part of a day weaving from the south to a hill near Cloud Peak.

Cloud Peak towered over the clouds, and from below, Ji Yuan could only see a cloud sea.

But this didn’t prevent him from discerning the true nature of the place.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately realized Cloud Peak... had changed.

The area above the Cloud Sea had been enveloped by a gigantic array formation.

Ji Yuan carefully perceived with his divine sense and discovered the array formation was nearing Tier Four.

Even the clouds around Cloud Peak were encompassed within its range.

While observing, Ji Yuan noticed a gray escape light flying directly from further south, breaching the layer clouds before stopping at the array’s edge, transforming into a bald-headed man.

"Peak of Core Formation, yet another Peak of Core Formation..."

Coupled with Ice and Fire Elder, Ji Yuan faintly deduced what the place harbored.

Most likely, it harbored—a Nascent Soul opportunity!

Only such an opportunity, capable of advancing Peak Core Formation cultivators to Nascent Soul stage, would attract so many Peak Core Formation cultivators coveting it.

Only such an opportunity would compel Ice and Fire Elder to risk so much returning from Extreme Abyss Continent.
