Chapter 964: Divine Mountain
Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Su asked, “Senior Brother, I think I’ve heard Master mention Mount Zhongnan before, but I don’t know the details.”
Mount Zhongnan was the legendary divine mountain of Daoism. Countless Daoist cultivators lived on the mountain. Even the Daoist children under them were chosen from thousands of children.
In the legends, only those who were fated could step onto this mountain. Otherwise, if they forcefully ascended, they would definitely be punished by heavenly deities, perhaps even struck by heavenly lightning.
Many people had once formed groups to go up the mountain to search for treasures, but they had been inexplicably teleported to various parts of the world. Those people had also lost all their memories on the mountain, and some had even become fools.
When Wen Chuan saw everyone’s curious expressions, he said slowly, “Mount Zhongnan has both cultivators and people receiving the divine punishment.”
“Many of those cultivators have lived to 300 years old, but their faces still look like they are in their twenties, so we can’t tell their age from their faces. The people who are receiving divine punishment are cultivators who have made mistakes in the world. These people are sealed in courtyards of various sizes and are not allowed to go out for the rest of their lives.”
“As far as I know, the head of Mount Zhongnan is called Yun Xiu. He has the highest cultivation level in the entire mountain and is also the elder closest to the divine state. However, many cultivators have heard rumors that there’s something strange in this mountain, but they don’t know the details.”
After everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
Ye Tang asked, “This mountain sounds strange. It’s like a divine mountain, but it seems to be enveloped in a layer of fog. I feel that it’s very dangerous.”
Her sixth sense had always been very accurate. Ye Tang looked at Yu Su worriedly. “Yu Su, you have to be careful. You have to make preparations before going.”
Yu Su nodded and looked at Wen Chuan. “Senior Brother, do you want to go with us?”
“Sure.” Wen Chuan smiled. Actually, he had long planned to explore this mountain, but he had never had the chance. This time, he would go and take a look together. He was confident that he could come out of this mountain unscathed.
“By the way.” Wen Chuan suddenly thought of something and continued, “To go to Mount Zhongnan, you need a certificate. When you go to the Metaphysics Management Office later, you can ask them what it is.”
“Okay.” When Yu Su arrived at the Metaphysics Management Office, she saw Ruan Dong sitting in the interrogation room with a depressed expression.
Ruan Dong gestured for her to sit down. “Yu Su, I’m really sorry. This is your jade ring.”
The jade ring that imprisoned Peng Chan yesterday was placed in the box.
Yu Su took it out and took a look. “This isn’t my jade ring.”
“What?” Ruan Dong was furious and picked up the jade ring to take a look.
He knew that the things Yu Su carried with her were all treasures, and the fact that the treasures had been stolen right under his nose made him even angrier.
“Investigate!” Ruan Dong threw the box down heavily and said to Yu Su, “Don’t worry, our Metaphysics Management Office will definitely give you justice.”
After Leng Yan received the order, she immediately searched Peng Chan’s prison. In the end, she found a note under the bed in the room where Peng Chan was imprisoned. The jade ring was wrapped in the note.
Yu Su took the note. It said: [I’ll wait for you at Mount Zhongnan.] It was signed off by Sacred Blood.
“Outrageous. They’re simply going too far.”
Ruan Dong was so angry that he smashed his teacup. The veins on his neck popped out, and he was in a fiery state.
Yu Su calmly put down the note. She took the jade ring, closed her eyes, and probed it with her divine sense.
“Eh?” Yu Su opened her eyes and narrowed them.
“What’s wrong?” Leng Yan asked.
Yu Su shook her head. “Why do I feel that my master’s aura is on the jade ring? Perhaps it’s my imagination!”
She looked at Ruan Dong. “Minister Ruan, it’s not your fault. After all, you’re not metaphysical masters. I plan to go to Mount Zhongnan and let Leng Yan follow me!” It seemed that she had to go this time.
Ruan Dong sighed. “Alright, how many people are going this time?”
“I, Master Wen, Leng Yan, Lu Feng, and… Xiao Han.” Yu Su was slightly stunned. She had not planned to let Xiao Han go, but when she suddenly thought of Xiao Han’s reluctant gaze when they parted, her heart softened. Forget it, she would protect her man.
“Alright, I’ll prepare two chicken blood vines and three thumb rings for you.” Ruan Dong heaved a sigh of relief. He happened to have these things.
Previously, some people from Mount Zhongnan had committed crimes and were brought to the Metaphysics Management Office. However, those people died inexplicably in prison, so these things were saved and just nice, they could be used now.
