An hour later, the lake water had reached the end, and the Dragon Spine Mountain, resembling a coiled dragon, was now within sight. The furious black eagle that had been chasing them had to let out an unwilling screech as it watched the flying ship plunge into the Dragon Spine Mountains before reluctantly returning to Demon Emperor Lake.
Upon entering the Dragon Spine Mountains, Wen Ping stored away the flying ship and followed the path indicated by the system, taking the opportunity to look around the Dragon Spine Mountains as well.
Compared to the Demon Emperor Lake earlier, it lacked the dense aura of desolation, but its vast mountain range still gave a sense of mystery. In the dense forest that obscured the sky, Big Cutie, Little Cutie, and the Mountain Dog were quite thrilled, running about and scaring off all the fierce beasts and demons within a few kiloters around Wen Ping.
After walking so distance, Wen Ping had the Mountain Dog catch three leopard-like demon beasts and rode them toward Dragon God Sect.
In less than an hour, a wide road appeared between the trees, catching Wen Ping’s eye.
Chen Mountain saw this and said, "Sect Leader Wen, if you follow this road straight ahead, you’ll reach Dragon God Sect."
Although Chen Mountain spoke calmly, Wen Ping knew that his heart was pounding, because the sound of his heartbeat almost matched the panting of the fallen demons, though Chen Mountain wasn’t aware of it himself.
Wen Ping patted the head of the beast and, without exiting the forest, moved to the left, "Let’s go in from a different place, up the cliff on the left."
Hearing Wen Ping’s words, Chen Mountain was taken aback, "Has Sect Leader Wen been to Dragon God Sect before?" The left side was the Soulless Cliff, only a hundred zhang high, and if Wen Ping hadn’t ntioned it, he would have planned to enter from there too, as it wouldn’t be easily noticed by others.
The vertical cliff would be treacherous for soone with insignificant power, but for them, there was nothing to worry about. However, the fact that Wen Ping knew about it surprised him!
Could it be that Wen Ping had visited Dragon God Sect long ago?
Had he prepared to deal with Dragon God Sect early on?
With this question in mind, Chen Mountain followed Wen Ping into Dragon God Sect from Soulless Cliff and quietly reached Chen Mountain’s residence, taking a forest path without being noticed. Of course, coming to Chen Mountain’s place wasn’t Wen Ping’s original intention.
Wen Ping had decided to co to Chen Mountain’s place only after hearing that it was in a relatively secluded part of Dragon God Sect. Going further inside would an more people and no forest paths to take, necessitating a change of face to get in.
Upon entering the residence, Chen Mountain hastily closed the doors and windows, showing a rare mont of relaxation, "Sect Leader Wen, there are too many eyes during the day. When it gets quieter at night, I’ll find a way to get three faces."
"No need for you to do that." Wen Ping replied. Of course, he ant no offense, as he had already dispatched the Evil Spirit Knight when he decided to co to Chen Mountain’s place. The instruction was simple: stealthily capture a half-step Mountain Suppression realm individual, dead or alive, along with two Dragon God Sect disciples, one male and one female.
The Evil Spirit Knight, now at the Mountain Suppression realm level and paired with its concealnt ability, was the most suitable for this mission.
However, Chen Mountain was unaware of Wen Ping’s plan and, thinking that Wen Ping distrusted him, hastily explained, "Sect Leader Wen, my life is still in your hands, and I’ll have to inhale the Intestine-Burning Corpse Smoke in a few days to save my life. How dare I play tricks?"
"Rember that," Wen Ping coldly replied, though inwardly he was actually laughing.
This guy really believed it.
What a peculiar na, Intestine-Burning Corpse Smoke.
On the side, Long Ke, seeing that Wen Ping wouldn’t let Chen Mountain go, also thought Wen Ping distrusted him and said, "Then let go. I can quietly bring a few people here; with my realm, it can be done."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Wen Ping shook his head again, "No need for you to go, either."
"Hmm?" Long Ke was puzzled, not understanding what Wen Ping ant. Why wouldn’t he let anyone go?
Could Wen Ping be planning to go himself?
Just as she was about to continue speaking, Long Ke suddenly felt a wave of heat around her. As she looked around in confusion, a scene that startled her appeared before her eyes—a skeleton dressed in clothes materialized out of thin air.
In its two bone hands, which were burning with blue fire, it held three people suspended in the air, two n and one woman, dressed differently but unmistakably people from Dragon God Sect.
This skeleton, after scaring Long Ke, made her recall that this must be the Evil Spirit Knight that Qin Shan and the others spoke of—a "monster" that always remained hidden, commanded by Wen Ping alone.
Bang!
The three were simultaneously thrown to the ground. The Evil Spirit Knight grinned with its blue-flad skeletal mouth at Wen Ping and vanished once more.
A middle-aged man in the half-step Mountain Suppression realm, a woman appearing around twenty years old, and a young man. The Evil Spirit Knight was clever enough to find three individuals matching their ages, eliminating the trouble of impersonation.
However, this scene left Chen Mountain bewildered, feeling as if the Evil Spirit Knight was smiling at him, whether it was or not, and he was too scared to approach where it once stood.
Wen Ping naturally noticed this and, fearing Chen Mountain might be too affected by the Evil Spirit Knight, said, "As long as you listen to , it won’t suddenly appear to kill you. Change your face, it’s ti to go."
"Mm-hmm." Chen Mountain nodded hastily, took out a white circle and placed it on the face of the middle-aged man. Upon seeing the face, he displayed so surprise since he recognized the person and was on good terms.
However, at this mont, he couldn’t care about friendships; he only knew that recognition would make things easier, making it effortless to mimic.
After leaving his own house, Chen Mountain locked the door with two locks to prevent strangers from intruding. Then he led Wen Ping and Long Ke deeper into Dragon God Sect. Not long after, more people began to appear.
No matter who it was, upon seeing Chen Mountain’s face, they would call out "Steward Yang." At most, they would glance at Wen Ping and Long Ke a couple of tis, but no one stopped them on their journey. In just a quarter of an hour, they were about to arrive.
"How much farther?" Wen Ping, mindful of the ti, hurriedly asked, just in case they didn’t reach Dragon Pond Secret Realm before ti ran out, so he could think of another plan.
Chen Mountain replied, "Just up ahead."
Pointing towards a forest behind a tall building, from where a thick demon aura faintly emanated. However, this aura was very pure and dignified, superior to any demon in the world.
This was True Dragon Qi!
However, since it was a dead dragon, leaving behind only a skeleton, the aura it emitted was inferior to even half that of a flood dragon for Wen Ping.
Wen Ping couldn’t help but quicken his pace. Even though he passed at least five or six half-step Mountain Suppression experts on the way, Wen Ping still walked with calm composure. As he continued walking, the Dragon Pond Secret Realm was really close.
At this mont, the ti for their disguises suddenly ran out!
Their faces simultaneously returned to their original appearances and fortunately, Wen Ping had tid it perfectly, purposely moving to a corner in the last minute. As a result, when their faces reverted, no one around noticed.
However, Chen Mountain’s appearance would inevitably lead to encountering acquaintances since Chen Mountain held a significant position in Dragon God Sect.
This was precisely what Wen Ping wanted to avoid.
Likewise, it was also what Chen Mountain wanted to avoid, especially fearing to et those familiar with him who knew he had been following the four Grand Elders to assist the Divine Lady.
