Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 667 - 668 Entering the Restricted Area

Chapter 667: Chapter 668: Entering the Restricted Area Chapter 667: Chapter 668: Entering the Restricted Area Lingyun City is located next to Binlai City.

It is approximately 130 kilometers away.

If you drive fast from Hejing, it takes about two hours to get there.

The opening time for the Secret Realm is at eight o’clock in the evening.

Xia Liu did not know the exact situation there, so he had to go early.

Therefore, at eight in the morning, he packed up and drove to Lingyun City.

From Hejing to Lingyun City, the journey was very smooth.

...

He arrived in Lingyun City at ten-thirty in the morning.

Xia Liu stopped to refuel and took the opportunity to ask the gas station staff for directions to Lingyun Mountain.

The young man didn’t say a word and directly handed Xia Liu a guidebook.

It had the route from Lingyun City to Lingyun Mountain.

And tips for the tourist area.

Lingyun Mountain was originally a tourist attraction.

It was even a Huaxia 4A tourist spot.

It was considered a fairly famous scenic area domestically.

“Young man, I suggest you don’t go to Lingyun Mountain,” the gas station attendant advised just as Xia Liu was about to leave.

“What’s the matter?” Xia Liu asked, frowning slightly.

“I heard that the Lingyun Mountain area has been closed off for a few days for some rectification. I don’t know the details, but you can’t drive in from the periphery, though many people have walked in. However, certain requirements must be met to enter.”

“I see, thank you.”

Xia Liu had already guessed as much.

The closure of Lingyun Mountain was definitely in relation to this Secret Realm event.

As for the conditions to enter, it was probably to prove one’s identity as a Martial Artist before being allowed in.

If an invitation was needed, Xia Liu definitely didn’t have one.

No matter what they required, Xia Liu had none of it.

But into Lingyun Mountain, he was determined to go.

Following the map in the guidebook, Xia Liu drove all the way there.

Midway, he saw the mountain pictured in the guidebook—Lingyun Mountain.

This mountain was merely one of the prominent peaks at the front of the mountain range.

It rose straight up, its peak like a sword thrusting into the clouds.

From the close-up photos in the guidebook, one could see that a corridor had been built along the steep peak, seemingly wrapping around the body of the mountain all the way to the top.

Whether that was actually the case, Xia Liu couldn’t see that detail from more than twenty kilometers away.

As he drew closer to Lingyun Mountain, he noticed fewer and fewer vehicles around.

The further he went, the more vehicles he saw turning back.

It seemed just like the young man had said.

The Lingyun Mountain scenic area was closed off.

Those driving to the very front were definitely turned away by someone.

And now, Xia Liu had finally reached the forefront.

A giant gate appeared on the road.

On either side of the road was an open-air parking lot, which already had many vehicles parked.

There were also some people talking to those in security uniforms at the gate.

Xia Liu found a spot to park his car and then observed the surroundings.

Upon closely studying the two uniformed security guards, he discovered something peculiar.

They were actually two Earth-Rank Warriors dressed in security uniforms.

“Don’t make trouble, go read the notice over there. The mountain is closed for inspection these days.”

One of the guards said.

As the ordinary people walked away, Xia Liu approached.

“Didn’t I tell you? The mountain is closed these days, no outsiders allowed,” said the Earth-Rank Cultivated security guard impatiently.

“I am here to participate in the Lingyun Secret Realm,” Xia Liu said.

Upon hearing this, the two security guards nodded, “Your energy is of the Mysterious Rank, high-level. Take the second path; there’s a vehicle behind that will transport you to the site,” said the guard with the Earth-Rank Cultivation after sensing Xia Liu’s energy.

Xia Liu nodded and, following the guard’s instructions, entered through the second path.

He had thought he might need some kind of invitation letter, but it turned out to be quite simple. He wondered what the secret realm event, hindered by various factions and families, was really about.

After passing through the path, Xia Liu saw a shuttle bus.

Yes, a shuttle bus.

It was somewhat nonsensical.

With the staff’s respectful assistance, Xia Liu boarded the bus.

After climbing the steps, Xia Liu surveyed the area ahead and was similarly scrutinized by numerous gazes from the front.

It turned out there were already quite a few people on the bus.

“Everyone’s here; we’ll leave in two minutes. Be prepared,” said the driver, an Earth-Rank Cultivator, impatiently after glancing at Xia Liu.

Xia Liu walked toward the front.

On this bus, it was one seat per person.

There were only sixteen people in total. Upfront, six seats were already taken.

Only the last row remained.

At that moment, three people were in the last row.

Two women and one man.

The women were fresh and elegant, very beautiful compared to others decked out in designer brands; they were dressed quite ordinarily. The man looked rather shabby both in facial features and attire.

Seeing Xia Liu approaching, the man in the back row automatically stood up to let Xia Liu sit at the innermost seat.

“Thank you,” Xia Liu politely thanked him.

“You’re welcome. My name is Zhuang Hua. May I ask how to address you, senior?”

Perhaps because Xia Liu’s attire seemed similar to his own, Zhuang Hua was interested in making friends.

“I’m similar to you; please, no need for ‘senior’. Just call me Xia Liu,” he replied.

“Pfft! Shameless!”

The two sprightly sisters sitting in the back row burst into laughter upon hearing Xia Liu’s introduction.

“The Xia from ‘summer’, and the Liu from ‘flowing water’…”

“Ha ha, nice to meet you, Xia Liu. I’m Han Yan, and this is my cousin Han Mei,” Han Yan introduced herself and her cousin with a smile.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you both,” Xia Liu replied.

“Heh heh, Daoist Fellow Xia Liu, it’s indeed a pleasure,” Zhuang Hua also smiled. He felt right away that Xia Liu was easy-going, someone suitable for friendship.

Before the bus started, Xia Liu learned a bit about the three individuals.

It turned out they had come from Liuhai City.

As for their families and sects, they didn’t reveal any details.

Xia Liu naturally wouldn’t inquire about such taboo topics.

If they wished to share, they would do so on their own initiative.

There were a few other young Martial Artists on the bus; sometimes, being conservative was more appropriate.

Zhuang Hua, Han Yan, and Han Mei had been friends since childhood.

This time, they had come secretly without their families’ knowledge.

“Daoist Fellow Xia Liu, where are you from?” Zhuang Hua asked as the bus started.

“I’m from a place not far from Spirit Mountain City; I guess you could say I’m a local,” Xia Liu considered his answer and then replied.

“Tsk tsk! A local, probably another narrow-minded nobody,” scoffed a young man in the seat ahead as Xia Liu was sharing his origins.

“Fellow Daoist, please watch your words. There are many sects and families in Spirit Mountain City and the surrounding cities,” Zhuang Hua responded with displeasure to the young man. It was embarrassing to have Xia Liu mocked for simply answering his question.

“You, a high-level Mysterious Rank piece of trash, don’t call me ‘fellow’ because you are not worthy,” the young man retorted sharply.

“Ji Fei, don’t be so angry. That guy is just a nobody from a third-rate family in Liuhai,” another young man added with a light laugh to the group.
