C558 Discovered
When Meng Lan heard that Lee Hongtian was leaving home again, and that the date of his return had not been confirmed, she started nagging again. Lee Hongtian could only lower his head and listen attentively.
There was no other way. This was probably a skill that every mother in the world knew.
Was this perhaps the vexation of happiness?
The address Elder Ji wrote on the piece of paper was very broad, with only the three words "Mount Kunlun" on it. Lee Hongtian didn't even know where he was going.
However, time was of the essence. According to Elder Ji's old friends, the location of the Wu'en Sect was going to open in less than half a month, so Lee Hongtian had to hurry there.
Elder Ji arranged for a plane to fly Lee Hongtian to the foot of Jade Pearl Peak, which was currently the only definite location. It was said that the old location was on Jade Pearl Peak, but no one knew the specific location.
After Lee Hongtian landed, he picked up his backpack and started on his journey. Originally, there were human encampments at the foot of Jade Pearl Peak, but Elder Ji said that for safety reasons, he didn't let Lee Hongtian land there. Instead, he placed Lee Hongtian at the bottom of a steep cliff at the back of Jade Pearl Peak.
Lee Hongtian couldn't help but blame Elder Ji for being too cautious. For such a large mountain, finding an old location from over three thousand years ago was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. If he landed in a place with many people, he might even be able to find some information.
However, there was no other way around it. Elder Ji usually looked rather amiable, but when compared to his enthusiasm, even Lee Hongtian had no choice but to be at a disadvantage.
After landing on the ground, Lee Hongtian had no choice but to carry his huge backpack and start searching aimlessly in the vast snow-covered mountain. He didn't know what he was looking for, so he could only walk and look.
Two days later, because he had to find the location of Wu'en Sect, Lee Hongtian's movement speed was very slow. He had only just reached the halfway point of the mountain, and his range of movement was only at one side of Jade Pearl Peak.
Lee Hongtian, who hadn't seen anything for the past two days, suddenly saw some footprints in front of him. Looking at the direction, it was coming from the other side and there were quite a number of them.
He followed the footprints and soon heard people chatting in front of him.
Lee Hongtian leaned closer and heard the sounds coming from the front. The person in front seemed to be tired and was resting there. Lee Hongtian looked for a high place and hid his figure. Then, he looked down.
There were three men and one woman in the snow below. Judging from their appearances and conversation, they were all Chinese. However, their clothes were clearly not from the same place.
After listening for a while, Lee Hongtian found out that these four people did not actually know each other. Their goal was the same as his, also for the Wu'en Sect.
"Hey, do you know? It's said that the location of the Wu'en Sect isn't a pile of ruins, but a separate space. It looks like an immortal realm, and there are even immortals."
Amongst the four of them, a fatty with his entire body wrapped in a huge windbreaker said. He had a look of yearning on his face.
The moment he said that, the other man in a suit had a look of disdain on his face as he said disdainfully, "Damn immortal, when it was opened last time, the people that went in were already buried in the ground. God knows what was in it, if it wasn't for our family's old man holding onto a large blade and demanding a visit to see the world, I wouldn't have come here to suffer."
Alright, you two stop arguing. There's still another half a month before the base opens, but we don't even know where the entrance to the mountain is right now. The last man of the four said.
This person had a sturdy figure. Even in this land of ice and snow, he was still dressed in a vest, making him stand out. What was even more eye-catching was that there were rings on his arms that were as thick as a thumb from his wrists to his elbows.
"Iron Thread Fist?" Lee Hongtian muttered in confusion.
Before returning to his country, he had also taken a look at the situation in the country and roughly knew the characteristics of the various factions.
This Iron String Fist was said to be a tyrant of the southeast coastal area. He had punched a pair of iron fists throughout the three provinces, but he didn't expect to meet one today.
The tall and skinny young man was wearing a clean suit in such an environment. No one could guess where he came from, so Lee Hongtian gave him a slut in his heart.
Although Fatty's words were spoken, although his entire body was covered by a huge coat of wind, occasionally his clothes would fly in the air, Lee Hongtian noticed that during this period of time, there were countless fine silver needles that were like hair hidden, but these silver needles were not used to treat illnesses, half of them were completely black, clearly smeared with poison. Lee Hongtian guessed that they were from the Tang Sect.
The one he recognized was the quiet young lady. She had a petite stature, delicate features, a set of unique Miao Family clothes, and two snakes coiled around her body. It was obvious that she was Miao Yue's disciple.
Listening to their conversation, Lee Hongtian realized that these people were the same as him. Other than the information from Jade Pearl Peak and opening half a month later, they didn't know anything more than him.
At this point, Lee Hongtian wanted to leave immediately. Perhaps if he was lucky, he could run into someone else and learn more.
However, just as he was about to leave, despite being very careful, he accidentally came across a pile of snow. The snow fell down from high above and landed right in front of the four people.
"Who?"
The disciple with the Iron String Fist Sect roared and swung his arm. The iron hoops on his arm collided with each other, issuing a series of clanking sounds.
The other four also became alert and stared in Lee Hongtian's direction.
"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'll call my little darlings to call you out." The Miao Yue girl spoke in a cold dialect.
At the same time, the two snakes crawled over with a hissing sound. Their target was Lee Hongtian. At the same time, Lee Hongtian also felt that there were countless thin sounds coming from the surroundings.
"Fine, fine, fine. I'll come out, don't make a move."
Lee Hongtian quickly jumped out. It wasn't that he was afraid of these four people, but even if all four of them attacked at the same time, Lee Hongtian might not be afraid. However, the address hadn't been opened yet and Lee Hongtian had no idea what was going on.
After all, Lee Hongtian had clearly seen their strength when they were on guard earlier.
The strongest was actually the man in the suit, someone with a mid-grade Saint realm cultivation, and then the man with the Iron String Fist Art, who was at the early Human Saint realm. As for Fatty and Miao Yue, their cultivations were both at peak Martial Emperor.
However, in Lee Hongtian's eyes, the most dangerous people were still the girl and the fat guy. Lee Hongtian didn't know if Pu Yu could cure the poison in the fat guy's body.
The Miao Yue girl had the same skill as Fatty, and her methods were even scarier, so it was best not to provoke her for the time being.
