Unexpectedly, before even attending the gathering, a taboo has already been violated.
The elder said sternly, "We have an even bigger rule, which is not to harm each other, so I am rely here to deliver a ssage."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look towards the northern shore, and said in a grave voice, "Famous mountains are Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, but only the secular Buddhist Tao build temples and establish daoist fields, without any Mystical Sect mbers stationed there, do you know why?"
Li Yan replied truthfully, "I don’t know."
The elder sighed, "As long as one stays on a famous mountain, Mystical Sect mbers in ditation often beco restless, advancing little, so even Ei Qingniu Temple only trains in Qingniu Mountain east of the city."
"Especially living Yin ssengers, holding Hook Papers, can see so Netherworld matters, so it is also considered a Holy Land by the organization."
"If you can stay one night on the mountain, this matter will be settled, it’s also passing a test, allowing direct entry into the organization."
"If you leave, we won’t stop you, but it will be declared that from henceforth, you as a living Yin ssenger, will no longer be under the protection of the agreent."
"How you choose to proceed is up to you."
Li Yan squinted slightly, "What do you an by this, sir?"
The elder said indifferently, "I suggest you leave, go as far as possible. Young people like you, I have seen many, always bring trouble."
"You old man, you’re quite honest."
Li Yan sneered, hesitating a bit.
He ca to attend the gathering mainly to acquire more knowledge about living Yin ssengers from the other party, but this organization has so many rules that he felt so resistance in his heart.
Only this living Yin ssenger agreent is sowhat troubleso.
He didn’t care, but there were a lot of companions with him, who would still need to train on those famous mountains and great rivers in the future.
Not to ntion, if a Hidden Immortal caused trouble, and had disciples co to find him, it would be a big problem...
"Young friend, you must go up the mountain."
Suddenly, an old voice ca from behind.
It was the old lady Bai Huan who ca out from the cabin, looking displeased, she said, "Because of my matter, the young friend has been wronged."
"But this living Yin ssenger agreent cannot be discarded, at least before you have grown, you must be under its protection, otherwise, it’ll be hard to move even a step in the future."
"You have a good relationship with the Taixuan Orthodox Sect, so Magic Veins don’t get along with them, and coupled with your identity as a living Yin ssenger, attacks will follow one after another."
Li Yan hesitated for a mont, "But you all..."
"Don’t worry."
The old lady Bai Huan went to the bow of the ship, looking down at the elder, "Daoist Wei Wuchang, are you currently in Fengdu City?"
The elder’s expression imdiately turned solemn upon hearing this, "Elder Wei is not in the city, do you know him?"
The old lady Bai Huan nodded, "If Daoist Wei were here, I wouldn’t have to trouble the young friend, dragging him into this matter."
Saying this, she took out a Token from her bosom, "Back then, Daoist Wei gave this, saying as long as one enters Fengdu City, they will be protected, I wonder if it still counts?"
Upon seeing this, the elder’s pupils shrank imdiately, he bent over and respectfully cupped his hands, "With this order, then I shall comply."
"But this order can only be used once, are you sure?"
The old lady Bai Huan said nothing more, directly throwing out the Token.
The elder took it, examined it, and loudly announced, "Everyone may go to Fengdu, no matter how long they stay, they will be protected."
"But if they leave, life or death will have nothing to do with us."
"And you, if you want to go to the famous mountains, you can go to the riverbank, and I will guide you up the mountain..."
With that, he slightly raised his hand, signaling them to head towards Fengdu.
Li Yan glanced at Bai Huan, seeing her nod, he then turned to Fast Ship Zhang and said, "Senior Zhang, let’s go ashore first."
"Turn around, head to the dock!"
Fast Ship Zhang gave an order, and the large cargo ship slowly changed direction, heading towards the dock of Fengdu County.
Seeing the small boat disappear in the distance, the old lady Bai Huan then said, "The young friend’s worry is nothing but the fear of those Earth Immortals obstructing and retaliating, once in Fengdu, there’s no need to worry."
"This Token was a gift from Daoist Wei back then, unfortunately, it can only be used once."
"That’s quite easy to handle."
Sha Lifei spoke up, "Once in Fengdu, we can stay nearby, for seventeen or eighteen years, those loose cultivators from Wushan can only watch angrily."
The old lady Bai Huan shook her head, "How can it be that simple."
"Fengdu is a special place, to the east is Qingniu Temple, to the west is Reincarnation Temple, although the famous mountains can’t sustain, the Buddhist Tao both pay much attention, having built secular temples, and living Yin ssengers also regard this as a Holy Land."
"After all, we are cultivators, appearing unhard, in reality, we have no place to call ho, I am getting old, not able to protect them for long."
"Qingcheng Mountain is different, I have already arranged with the Queen Mother Temple, it’s a Kun Dao Palace, a female Daoist field, all disciples would return to its fold, securing a future."
"I see..."
Li Yan nodded without saying more.
Soon, the cargo ship slowly docked.
On the wharf, many people were either wearing raincoats and hats or holding umbrellas, the county town wasn’t large, more like a bigger village.
"Owner, any work?"
As soon as the ship docked, two dock porters ran over, their clothes were worn and patched, obviously ordinary people.
"No, just stopping for the night before leaving."
"Fast Ship Zhang" cupped his hands and sent these people away.
Sha Lifei looked around in confusion, "Where are the people of the living Yin ssengers? Since it’s protection, why is no one here to guide us?"
"The living Yin ssengers’ organization is different from sects."
The old woman Bai Huan shook her head and said, "They don’t set up a main altar, have no obvious address, all hide in the shadows. You don’t know who in the city is their person."
"Let’s go ashore and find an inn to stay at. I’ve used the token, their people will protect us from the dark."
After hearing this, everyone imdiately packed their luggage and went ashore.
No one doubted the ability of the living Yin ssengers’ organization; after all, they had seen the power of Li Yan’s Yin Bureau soldiers.
It only takes two or three people to simultaneously consu the Astral Order and summon Yin Bureau soldiers, and anyone who saw it would stay far away.
Entering the city, the rain hadn’t ceased.
This Fengdu City is ancient, with the sa tiered wharf, both stilted buildings and ordinary houses, built alongside the mountain, lined closely together.
Rain mist, lanterns, old city, added more eerie atmosphere.
It was already nightti, most of the townspeople had closed their doors, and near the wharf was the city gate, only two ters high, mottled blue stone, damp river fog, covered in moss at the base.
The soldiers guarding the city seed to have already received the news, ignoring them after seeing them, only yawning a little.
"Officer, is there an inn in the city?"
"There’s a Wanxiang Tower in the east of the city."
After Sha Lifei inquired, they entered the city, crossing two streets and seeing an inn.
Wanxiang Tower.
The na sounded nice, but it was actually just a regular inn.
Late at night, the inn didn’t have many rchants, all ordinary people, and seeing their group, they all turned their heads, reluctant to invite trouble.
After investigating, Li Yan felt completely at ease.
In the inn, there were no traces of spells, but his Hook Paper remained cold, indicating that living Yin ssengers were nearby.
It seems this token still has so use.
Once everyone was settled, Li Yan carefully organized his magic artifacts and said solemnly, "You stay one night, I’ll return tomorrow."
"Brother Yan, be careful."
Wang Daoxuan and the others all looked worried.
"Don’t worry."
Li Yan glanced out the window, seeing the autumn rain continue, showing no signs of stopping, and chuckled softly, "Tonight the weather helps ; if things go wrong, I’ll use the Escape Skill to leave."
After speaking, he cupped his hands to everyone before swiftly leaving the inn, vanishing into the night’s wind and rain...
Arriving at the wharf, the old man’s cargo ship was indeed waiting nearby.
Li Yan didn’t waste words and jumped onto the ship.
"Set sail!"
The old man coldly glanced at him and ordered in a deep voice.
The sailors on the ship imdiately began rowing, with the sail billowing, quickly leaving Fengdu County, heading towards the northern shore.
Over there was a famous mountain, also the location of Fengdu Ghost Gate.
Li Yan stood on the deck and casually glanced into the cabin, seeing a thin, sallow-skinned young boy curled in blankets, curiously watching him.
Inside the cabin, there was a strong dicinal sll.
"Bitter child, don’t talk to strangers."
The Ghost Eye old man coldly huffed, his face unfriendly.
Li Yan sighed inwardly, no longer looking at the child, but turned to the old man, his tone significantly more amiable.
"Sir, may I inquire about sothing, do you know ’Yin Changsheng’?"
