The vehicle was filled with shouts and laughter.
Zhang Zhenlin and Ling Zhenfei simply smiled without speaking, as Ling Zhenfei drove straight to Xishan Manor.
"Look ahead, we're about to enter the territory of Xianling Mountain."
Murong Liuqing on the vehicle finally let Sun Wei off the hook, and everyone directed their gaze towards the distant mountains.
The mountain was now close, and the road ahead shifted from even terrain to a gentle slope.
Zhang Zhenlin said, "Even just approaching the vicinity of Xianling Mountain, you can feel its Northern Spiritual Energy is indeed denser than other places."
Of course, they hadn't reached Xianling Mountain, just the mountain range at most.
The real Xianling Mountain is the highest peak within that valley—that's where Xianling Mountain truly is.
Reaching Xianling Mountain is naturally not easy; ordinary people can't even enter its periphery, as the supernatural creatures inside are incredibly powerful.
Even those herbalists around Xianling Mountain only venture into its outskirts following well-known routes.
Despite this, villagers near Xianling Mountain disappear every year, with no need to explain why—they naturally fall prey to the creatures inside.
As the group gazed at the distant Xianling Mountain, each had their own thoughts.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Now you all know where Xianling Mountain is. The highest spot in the distance is its range.
We're quite lucky today. Normally, Xianling Mountain is shrouded in dense fog and miasma, only occasionally becoming visible."
Ling Zhenfei spoke truthfully; despite living near Xianling Mountain, he hadn't visited much since childhood.
Annually, there are a few days when Xianling Mountain is visible, sotis just briefly before dense fog shrouds it again.
Sure enough, after looking for a while, a thick fog enveloped the entire peak of Xianling Mountain.
Sun Wei said, "Xianling Mountain is truly mysterious; it vanished in such a short ti."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You're actually lucky; I rember people used to co to our village just to capture the principal peak of Xianling Mountain, waiting one or two months to catch a glimpse."
Sun Wei said, "So this mountain is quite mischievous."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Certainly, it seems we are all favored by the divine mountain."
Zhang Zhenlin smilingly said, "Who would've thought you'd believe in such things?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Those who believe in such things tend to live longer."
The car quickly arrived at Xishan Manor, and Qinghe Village had completely transford, no longer the old rundown mountain village.
Now, the roads have widened, the people have beco prosperous, and even increasingly fashionable.
With many people flocking here for tourism and to experience life, the thoughts of the locals have beco more diverse.
Just as Ling Zhenfei entered the village, he was suddenly stopped at the entrance by a group of people in uniform.
Unsure of their purpose, Ling Zhenfei stopped the car.
These individuals approached and handed Ling Zhenfei's car a flyer about forest and environntal protection.
After looking at the flyer, Ling Zhenfei's face suddenly changed.
The flyer claid Xishan Manor was destroying forests and disrupting the village's ecological environnt.
Ling Zhenfei asked them, "Who are you, distributing these things here?"
They replied, "We are from the World Environntal Organization. If you intend to visit Xishan Manor, we advise you to turn back, contributing to the world's environntal protection."
Ling Zhenfei said, "What does my visit have to do with environntal protection?"
The person responded, "Haven't you heard? Without trade, there's no harm. If you don't go, they lack inco, naturally benefiting the environnt."
Ling Zhenfei's face flared with anger; after painstakingly developing Xi Shan Resort Villa, soone was stirring trouble—how infuriating, these people refuse to relent.
Just as Ling Zhenfei was about to get angry, so individuals rushed out from inside.
Judging by their uniforms, these were security personnel from Xi Shan Group; as they rushed forward, the flyer distributors imdiately fled.
Manor security pursued them far, yet couldn't catch up as they ran swiftly.
Evidently, the resort villa's people were aware of these individuals' presence.
Unable to capture them, on their return, Ling Zhenfei stopped them.
The team leader was a forr mber of Zhenfei eting with Ling Zhenfei, thus acquainted with him.
He knew this person; the man known as Little Hu was decent enough.
"Little Hu, what's going on?"
Little Hu, originally leading the group back, shivered upon hearing Ling Zhenfei call him.
"Report, Boss Ling, these people appeared a few days ago, hiding by the roadside, charging out whenever a car ca, causing significant loss to the manor."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Do you know who's behind this?"
Little Hu said, "No idea, these people are cunning and quick, impossible to catch."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Got it, carry on."
Those individuals left, and Ling Zhenfei drove toward Xishan Manor.
Parking directly at the manor's lot, Ling Zhenfei led the three inside.
Sun Wei saw the manor and said, "Brother Ling, this place is nice, mountains and water, and the air feels refreshing."
Zhang Zhenlin added, "With a few beauties, it'd be even better."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You two are really becoming unruly; we're heading to Xianling Mountain soon, this is inappropriate."
Murong Liuqing, now solemn, said, "I sense several strong spiritual energies in the air, looks like soone's already arrived."
Ling Zhenfei said, "With such beautiful surroundings, food and drink available, and proximity to Xianling Mountain, it's natural that so cultivators from afar choose to stay here."
Sun Wei worriedly said, "How can you let other cultivators stay here? What if a fight breaks out? It's too dangerous."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Xi Shan Manor operates openly—business is business, regardless of cultivators. Besides, does anyone think we at Xi Shan Manor are just pushovers?"
Sun Wei said, "We're not pushovers; we're at-eaters, I think I sll at already."
Sun Wei's nose was impressive, following the scent of at effortlessly.
Presumably, Little Hu had inford the villa's staff, who already knew Ling Zhenfei had arrived.
Ling Zhenfei said, "We'll rest here for two days, and then Miss Murong will contact the folks from Wuliang Mountain to see their location."
