Chapter 216 - Father and Son, South

"Second brother, what do you mean?" The Crane King's eyes turned, as if he had thought of something.

"These weapons and cultivation techniques belong to us, as does the land of humans. That great opportunity belongs to us, and once boss breaks through, our Beast King Mountain won't be far from rising!"

Tiger King then looked at Snake King, "Eighth Brother, how long will it take for you to calculate the exact location of that opportunity?"

"Judging by how long I have to wait, there should be at least two months left, definitely not more than two months!" The Snake King quickly replied.

"What's the situation with boss?"

"The restrictive spells outside the forbidden area have already begun to show signs of defense. Most likely, by the time we take action, Boss will have reached the tribulation as well."

Tiger King thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, it seems that we won't be able to wait for the boss then. However, we can calculate the time earlier than agreed. We will be able to get the opportunity for the boss before them."

"With boss's talent, if he obtains this great opportunity, his cultivation will be able to rise again. He might even reach the level of the old monster emperor, or even higher!"

The old face of the Snake King also revealed a hint of excitement.

The Wolf King and the Crane King looked at the two of them in confusion, not understanding what they were saying.

Tiger King looked at the two of them and could not help but laugh, "Don't be impatient. When the second and fourth brothers return, I will tell you about this plan in detail."

This time, even the seven major sects, including the Immortal Sword Sect, and the third-rate sects from other continents and above, as well as a few smaller sects that were not even ranked among the third-rate sects, were sending people to the Silvermoon Mountain Range in a steady stream!

According to the various sects' investigations and the reliable news that was released by the Heavencraft Sect's Highest Elder, the exact location of the miracle this time around should be south of the Silvermoon Mountain Range, the border of the Windcloud Nation!

Therefore, in order to seize this great opportunity, the cultivators of the seven major sects, the three major demon sects, and some of the powers at the bottom of the mountain that had heard the news, had all begun to take action!

Even the seven major sects set up their temporary bases at the northwest border of the State of Feng Yun, the city closest to the Silvermoon Mountain Range, Qin Feng City!

A small border city, at this moment, was like a hundred rivers flowing in the sea. On the surface, it was just that it suddenly had a lot of outsiders, but in reality, it had already become a dark undercurrent!

Xiang Yun, who was completely unaware of this, rested for the night at the border between the middle and outer regions of the Silvermoon Forest. Then, bringing along Luo Ning, whose injuries had already recovered considerably, they once again set foot on the road south!

Compared to when he had saved Luo Ning, he had consumed more than half of his blood energy and his aura was sluggish.

After Xiang Yun consumed the Haoyuan Pill, after a night of cultivation, his vital energy and blood had actually recovered to seventy percent today.

At this rate, Xiang Yun only needed to cultivate for a day or two more before his blood energy would be completely restored to its peak!

Moreover, it wasn't just the recovery of one's vital energy and blood. Along with the continuous activation of the blood energy, streams of pure cloud energy would surge out from within the Haoyuan Pill and endlessly flow into the dantian before fusing into the spirit root!

Most importantly, the Haoyuan Pill suspended within Xiang Yun's dantian like a ball of fireball had only consumed a tenth of it at the moment. There was still a tremendous amount of energy contained within it.

At this rate, it was likely that within a month, Xiang Yun would reach the threshold of the Seven Cloud Realm!

As expected of a medicinal pill that was even more precious than a Mystic Jade Pill. Xiang Yun already had a deep understanding of the effectiveness of the Haoyuan Pill.

Those with special abilities must have long been treated by those powerful factions on the mountain as treasures and taken them into their sects!

The journey to Silvermoon Forest had been quite smooth for the two of them, and they had made it to the outskirts of Silvermoon Forest.

Most of the Cloud Beasts they encountered were of low rank. There were many Cloud Beasts from the Four Clouds to Seven Clouds. These Cloud Beasts could be found all over the Silvermoon Forest, making it difficult to avoid them.

Of course, he would not let these Cloud Beasts, who were not even at the soldier level yet, get away with sneaking an attack on them.

Currently, Xiang Yun was still holding onto his sword every day for at least two hours a day, practicing sword moves with his gigantic azure sword.

Even though it was still impossible for Xiang Yun to execute the Gale Fast Sword right now, it was because of Xiang Yun's painstaking training and the potential he had unleashed on the Cloud Beast he was constantly increasing.

With the Haoyuan Pills in his body and the endless stream of energy flowing through his body, Xiang Yun's strength was growing at an alarming rate.

Now, he only needed to rest once in the two hours it took to lift the sword. This was much better than the time he had to rest once every few minutes!

At noon that day, Xiang Yun climbed up to the top of a towering ancient tree. Gazing towards the south, he could faintly see the continuous rise and fall of its peaks. He immediately let out a low cry of joy!

By now, they could already see the outline of the Silvermoon Mountain Range. It seemed that they would be able to make it back within two or three days.

After looking around for a long time, Xiang Yun was still unable to determine his approximate location. Suddenly, he remembered the map that City Lord Lu had lent him back then, the map of the Silvermoon Mountain Range.

Back when he was in the cave of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion, he had kept the map along with the tools to measure the wind and water into his storage ring.

Now that they were about to leave the Silvermoon Forest, this map could be useful.

With the aid of the Silvermoon Mountain Range's terrain, and comparing it to the map, Xiang Yun had finally roughly figured out where he was.

After which, the two of them only needed to head southwest before they could make their way back. Within the Silvermoon Mountain Range, the canyon closest to the Qin Feng City.

However, Xiang Yun would naturally not go back along the same path as he had come. Back then, Zheng Heshan of the Snow Dragon Sect had even dared to scheme against him. Perhaps he had even left a backer there, waiting for him to fall into his trap.

It was not easy for them to retrieve their lives. How could it be possible for Xiang Yun to give them another chance like this?

This time, Xiang Yun had made up his mind to quietly return to the crown prince's estate. Once he returned, it would not be too late to settle the score later.

Thinking back to the time when the people of Snow Dragon Sect had surrounded him and intercepted him, as well as Zheng Heshan's vicious palm strike, Xiang Yun's heart could not help but grow cold with killing intent!

He definitely wouldn't let go of the Snow Dragon Gate, but he wanted to find out who was controlling it from behind the scenes and make a move on him.

On this trip to the Silvermoon Forest, if he hadn't met Luo Ning, he wouldn't have been able to walk out of the forest.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive in the depths of the Silvermoon Forest, they had already experienced several life and death situations during their journey.

It could be said that Xiang Yun had already died countless times when he had returned this time, and all of this was thanks to the person behind this!

Of course, this all depended on whether he could return to the Residence of Crown Prince safely.

Xiang Yun had observed the map and confirmed that there was a path that would not alarm the Snow Dragon Gate and would allow him to return to Qin Feng City. With that, he leapt down from the ancient tree and arrived beside Luo Ning.

"Miss Luo Ning, is your injuries better? Did you walk for too long? Do you want to find a place to rest?"

Seeing that Luo Ning's face was still somewhat pale, Xiang Yun asked with concern.

Ever since that day when he had helped to treat Luo Ning's injuries in the tree cave, Xiang Yun had always felt a little guilty, afraid that Luo Ning would seek revenge on him.

However, from last night till noon today, Luo Ning had no reaction at all. It was as if nothing had happened at all.

At the same time that Xiang Yun felt greatly lucky, a sense of faint, unexplainable disappointment arose in his heart. Xiang Yun did not know why this was the case, but he could sense that he was acting strangely.

Although Luo Ning could no longer sense the dangerous aura approaching from behind her, she didn't want to stay for too long just in case.

"Fine." Xiang Yun could only continue leading the way ahead, occasionally turning back as he walked.

The two of them travelled southwards from the most northwest position in the Wind Cloud Country. At the same time, the Wind Cloud Country's territory was at the southernmost end, which was adjacent to the South Sea, the Binzhou, Nanze, and Lelang Counties.

A military camp stationed on the coast that stretched for more than ten miles was extremely s.p.a.cious. There were many soldiers in the camp!

Within the camp, seven people and a small team lined up in a row. Their steps were steady and fast as they patrolled the camp. There were also soldiers carrying banners and riding their horses. Most of them were carrying bags, and there were reports of war coming from the front!

In the center of the camp, there was a large white tent. There were eight Saber Armored Soldiers standing upright at the entrance, guarding both sides of the tent.

From time to time, there would be generals wearing armor, helmets made of fine iron, and medallions hanging around their waists.

Inside the military camp, the generals had ordered for orders, the soldiers had drilled and shouted, and the cavalry soldiers were galloping and stamping their horses. Although they were mixed in with each other, they had their own division of duties.

At this moment, the last general in the tent had already accepted his order and left. There were only two people left in the tent!

A middle-aged man wearing a platinum armor and a snow-white cloak sat upright on a handsome chair. Under his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes were bright and full of spirit!

As the middle-aged man looked at the two island countries in the sea that were at opposite corners of each other, his eyes began to surge with light. They were like a surging tide above the South Sea, overwhelming and annihilating everything!

In the end, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and used the method that he always did, as well as a speed that others couldn't even compare to!

He quickly recalled all the orders that he had just received. Then, he would swiftly integrate it and draw it into a line to determine if there were any flaws!

On the left seat of honor, there was a white-haired, handsome, hale, and hale old man who was also wearing armor as he sat on a chair.

At this moment, he raised his head to look at the middle-aged man who was sitting upright on the handsome chair. On the old man's dignified and solemn face, a sincere expression of admiration appeared!
