Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Lost Mountain Range, The War Between Two States!
"Cough cough... I didn’t mean to do that."
Zhu Fei was incredibly embarrassed. He awkwardly released his hold and said something with a hint of guilt.
Yet in his heart, he relished the soft, tender warmth of Ji Xuanyue’s foot he had just touched, having heard that Ji Xuanyue was the unique barefoot ’sprite’ of the entire Xia State; now it seemed that the rumors were indeed true.
Seemingly having read Zhu Fei’s thoughts, Ji Xuanyue’s pretty face turned even redder.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with shame and anger, a mix of shock and irritation in her heart, when suddenly, taking advantage of Zhu Fei’s momentary distraction, a white jade ribbon shot out from her bare foot, binding Zhu Fei in an instant.
Zhu Fei was startled and instinctively wanted to resist, but fortunately, he reacted in time. The trace of mana he had just mustered within was quickly retracted.
As a result, Zhu Fei was suddenly flung high into the air by Ji Xuanyue’s white jade ribbon.
There was a "bang," and Zhu Fei’s body came crashing down onto the deck of the flying shuttle.
"Cough cough... I must say, Fairy Xuan Yue, you don’t go easy with your hits."
Zhu Fei made a grimace, pretending to be somewhat disheveled as he stood up, and said to Ji Xuanyue with a wry smile on his face.
"Hmph! You philanderer! This small punishment serves you right. Let’s see if you dare to bully me like that again."
Ji Xuanyue glanced sideways at Zhu Fei with disdain, pouting as she spoke with clear annoyance.
She was well aware of what she had done; that last move was meant to teach Zhu Fei a minor lesson and was not meant to cause him any significant harm.
Zhu Fei’s current behavior made his intentions quite obvious.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Zhu Fei could only shake his head helplessly when he heard her words.
Just as he wanted to say something more to Ji Xuanyue, the Contract Spirit Light of the flying shuttle suddenly interjected at that moment:
"The two of you, we might be approaching the Lost Mountain Range soon. Shouldn’t you be paying attention to something?"
Startled by the words of Contract Spirit Light, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue both paused for a moment, then their expressions turned solemn.
The Lost Mountain Range marked the boundary between Yue State and Tai State, where it was said that the two states harbored longstanding enmity and frequently broke out into fierce wars.
The battleground of the two states’ wars often lay within the Lost Mountain Range.
Due to the constant wars, countless mortal cultivators had fallen, giving the range its name of ’Lost’.
At this moment, they needed to fly over the Lost Mountain Range in order to reach Tai State.
If there were no wars erupting between the two states, it would be fine, but if a war was ongoing, reaching Tai State by traversing the Lost Mountain Range would be troublesome; they would have to be exceedingly cautious.
Otherwise, if the cultivators from both states noticed them, it could go wrong, and they might inadvertently become embroiled in the conflict.
Upon this thought, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue exchanged a glance and both nodded.
Without any hesitation, at that moment, both of them concealed their mana and Divine Sense completely.
Even the Flying Shuttle Light emerged from the void to cloak the shuttle itself in a layer of disguising mist.
...
About two hours later, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue indeed saw a vast mountain range stretching tens of thousands of miles, its end almost impossible to see.
Initially, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue did not notice anything unusual.
However, after the Flying Shuttle Light continued flying forward for another hundred miles, thousands upon thousands of black dots suddenly appeared before their eyes, densely packed like locusts, violently colliding with each other!
In an instant, loud battle cries shook the heavens, and countless Magical Treasures and Spells clashed violently in the sky, churning and interweaving into a picture of slaughter that was tragically extreme.
Seeing this scene, both Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue felt their hearts sink slightly.
They knew the scene they had previously surmised and least wished to acknowledge had ultimately come to pass.
The Cultivators from Tai State and Yue State had once again erupted into fierce war.
At that moment, Flying Shuttle Light came to a stop in the sky, and it said in a deep voice, "The two of you, what should we do now?"
Ji Xuanyue looked towards Zhu Fei, indicating that he should decide.
Zhu Fei brooded silently, his thoughts churning in his mind for quite some time before he replied in a deep voice,
"From here on, we can only trouble Senior Liu Guang to avoid the war between them as much as possible. If we can, it would be best to bypass them, flying over the Lost Mountain Range without alerting either side."
Zhu Fei said this because there was really no other choice.
He was very clear that under the current circumstances, there were no good solutions.
Once a war broke out between the two states, it would quickly spread throughout the entire Lost Mountain Range.
Even if they wanted to use this opportunity to escape the bounds of the Lost Mountain Range, it would be an impossible task.
Because from this point on, as soon as there was any major disturbance from their side, it would draw the attention of the Cultivators from both states. If they weren’t careful, they might even prematurely reveal their own movements.
Most importantly, if they left the Lost Mountain Range now, who knew when they would be able to enter again, or, to put it another way, wait until the war between the two sides had ended.
So, under these circumstances, the only thing they could do—and indeed the only thing they could do—was to take a gamble.
While the war between both sides had just begun, they would do their best to conceal their own presence. If they could pass, they would pass; if they truly could not, then they would have to use the fastest method and the quickest means to slay any Cultivator who discovered them.
"Good!"
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s suggestion, Flying Shuttle Light immediately agreed, and then its form began to twist, continuing to fly stealthily towards the Lost Mountain Range in an extremely secretive and strange manner.
After flying for about six hours, when they had covered about two-thirds of the Lost Mountain Range, space beside them suddenly began to ripple with waves of spatial fluctuations.
A man with an upright figure, yet with a shade of gloominess between his brows, suddenly appeared before Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue!
"Who are you! Stop right there! I am Shen Fengzi, an Elder of the Wantian Sect, come down quickly for an inspection!"
The man who claimed to be Shen Fengzi appeared with a very arrogant demeanor.
His fierce eyes swept around, quickly setting on Ji Xuanyue and the Flying Shuttle Light beneath her, his eyes flashing with a mix of fervor and greed.
Without any warning, Shen Fengzi suddenly made his move, reaching out to grab the Flying Shuttle Light!
"Hehe, I never expected to encounter such a high-level beauty in this Lost Mountain Range, not to mention a Low Grade Flying Dao Artifact, all come to me!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue immediately felt the space around them grow solid and sluggish.
A powerful force that imprisoned them suddenly descended upon their entire body!
A Great Cultivator at the Harmonization Fifth Level!
In that moment, this thought suddenly flashed through the minds of Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue.
