Chapter 124 – Snow Tang Mountain Pass

Chapter 124 Snow Tang Mountain Pass

In order to join Zhentian Sect, the entrance test required an examinee to successfully climb the Zhentian Canyon, with a condition that their age must be no more than 18.

Almost all of the 42 junior members of new Feng Clan could achieve this condition, except two members who were already more than 18 years old and did not seem to qualify to take the entrance test.

However, these two youngsters had already reached Wudao sixth layer. It was also clear that these two must have at least reached Wudao fourth layer when they were still under 18.

In this respect, all juniors of new Feng Clan were eligible to join Zhentian Sect!

There used to be some juniors at Wudao third layer but with the help of Feng Longsong and the clan resources, they had now reached Wudao fourth layer and could easily pass the entrance test of Zhentian Sect.

“Brother Bu said well.”

Long Yu had seen through Bu Xing’s motive but knew that this was the best possible course of action at the moment: “I cannot always stay here. Since my foster father has been captured by a Mongolian assassin, I must act as soon as possible.”

“En, sending them to Zhentian Sect is the best we can do to ensure their safety.”

Hao Feng calmly said: “But there are so many of us. What if we end up causing a nuisance to other disciples of Zhentian Sect by joining in bulk?”

“Don’t worry, I will write a letter of recommendation. Take this letter with you and show it to the senior elders of Zhentian Sect.”

Bu Xing said with a smile: “Also if you do not want to join Zhentian Sect, it does not matter. You can at least temporarily live in Zhentian Sect and continue to cultivate. This way, you can escape this period of turmoil days.”

“Many thanks to senior brother apprentice. I think, temporarily taking shelter is more than enough.”

Hao Feng gave an earnest nod.

By collectively joining Zhentian Sect, they would certainly have to be bound by the rules and might face restraint. As a result, the new Feng Clan would survive in name only and Hao Feng did not want to see the rise of an identity crisis among his clan members.

However, if they could take shelter in Zhentian Sect for some time, then that would be extremely good.

“En, the final decision lies in your hands.”

Bu Xing smiled.

“I forgot to introduce him. You all can call him Brother Bu.”

Long Yu introduced Bu Xing: “Brother Bu is going to write a letter of recommendation for all of you so that you don’t feel embarrassed in Zhentian Sect. Not to mention, no one will bully you there.”

“Thank you, Brother Bu.”

Xiao Fei and other juniors expressed gratitude towards Bu Xing.

All these juniors wanted to save Feng Longsong but they simply did not have enough strength for the job, so they were going to rely on Long Yu!

Bu Xing’s letter of recommendation was going to make things easier for them in Zhentian Sect. Staying in Yu Guan City was not at all safe for them, plus they wanted to meet Yu Xin as well.

In their hearts, they felt that Brother Bu was definitely a great persona in Zhentian Sect, otherwise, how could he have the right to write a letter of recommendation?

Since the decision was already made, Hao Feng and Xiao Fei decided to hit the road with everyone else immediately.

Bu Xing wrote a letter of recommendation and handed it over to Hao Feng. Afterward, Long Yu said farewell to the young members of Feng Clan and left with Bu Xing.

“Brother Bu, since things are all right here, let’s not rest tonight and head toward Mongolian State now itself. What do you say?”

Long Yu said to Bu Xing.

“En, we should leave immediately without further ado.”

Bu Xing nodded with a dignified look on his face.

“And, I thank you for writing the letter of recommendation for my people.”

Long Yu felt grateful.

“That’s no big deal.”

Bu Xing grinned and said: “By helping them, I am helping Zhentian Sect. I saw a thorough display of righteousness by these juniors. Your juniors are nothing like those typical selfish and greedy disciples we have in our sect. In the future, if Zhentian Sect was in danger then these juniors will not think twice before rushing to help.”

Bu Xing also had ulterior motives behind this. Plus, he was surprised to see how these juniors were willing to sacrifice their own lives for their fellow brothers. It was hard to find such righteous and compassionate martial artists in this world. Bu Xing wanted to befriend these talented and good-hearted youngsters, and if possible, he wanted them to join Zhentian Sect.

“I believe that they will not disappoint you.”historical

Long Yu also smiled.

They did not stay in Feng mansion and used their respective speed-incrementing means to rush toward the northern front line.

Hanbing Sect was situated thousands of miles away from there while heading north of Yu Guan City.

Hanbing Sect was located in the north and was located closest to Tang mountain pass.

Tang mountain pass connected seven Grand Canyons and was the only gateway to access Ancient Mongolian State.

Ancient Mongolian State would have to mobilize its troops through the seven Grand Canyons to attack Tang State. So, Major General Long Ji brought a team of warriors to defend the canyons.

Long Yu and Bu Xing continued to travel throughout the night, and along the way, they saw a lot of country warriors who were also headed in the direction of Tang mountain pass. Their motive was to kill enemy soldiers and earn rewards in return.

Long Yu was not at all paying attention to these warriors.

He was most concerned about the safety of his foster father!

Feng Longsong was a former lieutenant in Tang State’s army and had killed many soldiers of Mongolian State. So, things could be a lot more intense than expected.

Of course, instead of assassinating him right on the spot, the enemy preferred to capture him alive. This showed that he still had some value in their eyes and this should temporarily ensure his safety.

But that did not mean that he would not suffer intense torture. That was why Long Yu wanted to rescue him as soon as possible!

“Foster father, if they hurt you then your Long Yu is gonna behead each and every one of them.”

A vicious look appeared in his eyes along with determination!

Late at night, they marched into a land covered in snow and ice. Hanbing Sect was located in a valley not far from there.

“I heard that you killed a Zhenling disciple of Hanbing Sect during your trip to Ling Clan’s villa. Is that true?”

Bu Xing suddenly remembered this rumor he had heard earlier and asked to confirm.

“It’s true.”

Long Yu did not deny.

“It seems like, at your present strength, you can even deal with experts of Zhenling third layer.”

Bu Xing jokingly said.

“Brother Bu is extremely good at cracking jokes. Don’t forget that the gap between us is not small. If we fight then I will absolutely have no chance of winning.”

Long Yu shook his head.

“However, you have that strange technique which temporarily reduces the level of your opponent by one. With the help of this technique, you should be able to beat opponents of Zhenling third layer.”

Bu Xing laughed and said: “Young Long, Major General Long Ji has been put in charge of guarding Tang mountain pass. This man is your cousin and is already at Zhenling fourth layer. And, he has also congealed a spirit entity.”

Major General Long Ji, Zhenling fourth layer!

“I see.”

Long Yu replied but wasn’t affected by this news.

“When we arrive at Tang mountain pass and if he tries to make things difficult for you. You’d better not say anything.”

Bu Xing persuaded him: “We will follow his commands and that’s how we will get a chance to fight and kill the enemy, meanwhile, we will also look for the whereabouts of your foster father.”

“Seems like a nice plan to me.”

Long Yu nodded but also thought in his heart; would this Long Ji really create obstacles for him?

He suddenly remembered the youth in metal armor whom he met in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest.

That guy’s attitude was not all friendly and this kind of indicated that perhaps the members of Long Clan would never accept him as their own!

Perhaps, only his grandfather was willing to protect him.

All in all, he just needed to wait until they would reach Tang mountain pass, then things would eventually become clear!

Long Yu did not ponder much on this topic and stimulated his Demon Wings to accelerate. At the same time, he also felt the power of half chunk of Heavenly Lunar Tablet.

“Lunar qi seems to represent some kind of world law which is similar to the world law of suppression. And perhaps it’s much more potent than Zhentian tactics.”

Long Yu thought, but unfortunately, he had not yet gotten a chance to comprehend the lunar tablet to get to know more about it.

On the way, Long Yu began to hear wails of some kind of demon bird being transmitting from the wings. He could sense that the demon bird was not willing to cooperate with him as he was trying to push the wings to its limits in order to accelerate. These wailing sounds were making it difficult for him to concentrate.

“If battle weapons develop resonance with you then you can bring out their best potential. But unfortunately, the situation is quite opposite in the case of these wings.”

Long Yu was quite disappointed because these wings were made from the feathers of a demon beast that contained hatred for human beings.

This was going to make it almost impossible for Long Yu to set up a resonance with his Demon Wings!

They were going deeper into this snowy land.

Ancient Mongolian State was located in the northern parts of Tang State and this region was covered in snow and ice all year round. That was why Mongolian State always sent its troops to invade Tang State in order to occupy its fertile land.

Finally, snow covered mountains welcomed the two and Tang mountain pass appeared in front of them.

This was like an endless continuation of city walls, with hills on both sides and the valley eventually leading to the seven Grand Canyons towards the Ancient Mongolian State. Major General Long Ji and his 100,000 men were stationed in the Tang mountain pass!

Tang State’s military force consisted of martial artists who were at least at Wudao fifth layer. However, soldiers of fifth and sixth level could only act as part of investigation teams or advance teams.

The real main force consisted of only those soldiers who were capable of assigning away Xuan qi.

Soldiers of Wudao seventh layer formed the backbone of military force. Those at Wudao eighth layer were made platoon leaders, and those at Wudao ninth layer were made team captains.

As far as Zhenling level soldiers were concerned, their status was equivalent to that of generals.

A soldier at Zhenling first layer was called Junior General; a soldier at Zhenling second layer was called Deputy General; a soldier at Zhenling third layer was called Senior General.

Long Ji was at Zhenling fourth layer but consider his young age, he was therefore titled as ‘Major General’!

Long Yu and Bu Xing joined Major General Long Ji’s troops as reinforcements. They portrayed themselves as one of the several warriors who had come to participate in this war. Of course, they also saw Long Ji standing on the frontline.

In this bright world full of ice and snow, they suddenly saw several hundred feet tall gates. These gates were called Tang Mountain Pass Gates.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of warriors were standing near these gates, all eager to enter the Tang mountain pass and slaughter enemies.

However, these people were actually blocked outside Tang mountain pass!

“They are here to help then why not let them go in?”

Long Yu looked at these warriors gathered near the Tang Mountain Pass gate and could not help but wonder.

“Perhaps Long Ji is afraid that so many warriors might disrupt military discipline. As we can see now that the war is not yet intense, otherwise, they would have opened the door a long time ago and must have used these country warriors as cannon fodder.”

Bu Xing narrowed his eyes and said.

Walking in the snow, they soon arrived near the Tang Mountain Pass Gates.

The warriors noticed that these two youngsters were at Zhenling realm and as Long Yu and Bu Xing approached the group of warriors, they dispersed and made way for them. No one dared to stop them or stand in their way.

This was indeed the world where only strong were respected and feared!
