The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 268 - 267 Great Snow Mountain
The place at Mountain and Sea Pass, Dongfang Hongyue had also strolled through before.
After all, as an Upper Realm Cultivator, to comprehend the universe, one must at least travel around a bit. Within the territory of Great Zhou, Dongfeng Hongyue had basically visited all places.
But she never felt that kind of mysterious sensation. It was at the Land of Death where she felt something, and that’s where she discovered Yellow Wind Valley. It took her nearly a hundred years to transform it into her secret base and to store a great amount of wealth there, and then...
Wuu wuu wuu, Dongfang Hongyue was reminded of a sad memory again.
It’s just bankruptcy!
As long as one can dig up treasures, one can literally soar on the spot.
Yuquan was frightened by Dongfang Hongyue’s gaze. Although the Taiqing Daoist Temple wasn’t the wealthiest in the world, it was still considered economically strong with abundant cultivation resources. Yuquan himself carried many treasures with him.
He just couldn’t understand the impoverishment of a Demon Lord like Dongfang Hongyue.
Had she never seen a treasure before?
"Perhaps there’s an ancient treasure. Since it hasn’t appeared in the current world, the time must not be right. If the Grassland People were to cause chaos at Mountain and Sea Pass, the treasure might never emerge, or even worse consequences might unfold. Therefore, there must not be the slightest error at Mountain and Sea Pass."
Dongfang Hongyue nodded, not helping but admiring that the Taiqing Daoist Temple, as an age-old sect, indeed knew more.
There are still many secrets in this world, and the people of Taiqing Daoist Temple must stand at the very peak. Daoist Elder Yuxuan must know the most.
Unfortunately, they were not on the same side, otherwise Dongfang Hongyue really wanted to ask him some questions.
However...
This cooperation had been so pleasant, next time at the Peach Blossom Alliance, she might ask the elder to help out once more. She wondered if that would be possible.
Last time, for the matter of the Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit, the elder had agreed to help.
But that was for the sake of the world’s fate that the elder had lent a hand; this time it was her own matter and she was unsure if the elder would be willing to grant her this favor.
As Dongfang Hongyue pondered, Yuquan thought she was contemplating the hidden treasure of Mountain and Sea Pass and reminded her, "Comrade Dongfang, let us focus on how to repel the enemy first! As long as Mountain and Sea Pass remains in our hands, the treasure will naturally belong to the destined ones among us, the people of Central Plains. If it falls into the hands of the Grassland, then nothing we say will matter."
In fact, what Yuquan emphasizes is the "destined ones."
The more premium the treasure, the more sentient it becomes. The destined can come from thousands of miles away to seize the treasure, while those without destiny might pass by and still not obtain it.
Clearly, Dongfang Hongyue doesn’t appear to be one of the destined ones.
"Exactly, Taoist Elder, I’ll go support Mountain and Sea Pass right now!"
Yuquan: "..."
Are you going there to support or to dig for treasures?
Skeptical of Dongfang Hongyue’s intent, Yuquan did not stop her but took out a token.
"Although Comrade Dongfang is from the Demon Sect, we have fought side by side for the past few days, and I do not consider you a malevolent person. If you are heading to Mountain and Sea Pass to support, my younger Taoist brothers might have reservations due to your identity. With this, they will trust you."
"Thank you, Elder Taoist!"
Dongfang Hongyue took the token, bowed her hands to Yuquan, and then set off flying towards Mountain and Sea Pass.
She couldn’t help but admire that Elder Taoist Yuquan was quite understanding while holding the token in her hand.
That’s why they say it’s easier to get along with people of the Righteous Path.
Take this elder, for example, at first he was an enemy, now after having fought side by side for a couple of days, he became someone reliable.
Even if they had to become enemies in the future, there would be no worry of him suddenly betraying her out of the blue.
Others in the Demon Sect were different. Dongfang Hongyue and the other two Great Demons seemed united and always fought side by side, but in reality, each of them always kept something in reserve, never lax for a moment.
"Maybe after this battle, our Red Lotus Sect should reform and join the Righteous Path?"
Dongfang Hongyue attempted to lead the surrender discussion. Of course, this was just a random thought during a boring flight.
Actually, the Red Lotus Sect could never join the Righteous Path. The Seven Righteous Sects have been in control of the world for far too many years; to take anything from their hands would only be possible through force, which is the origin of the Three Teachings of the Demonic Path.
In fact, the present Three Great Demon Sects are fundamentally different from the ancient Demon Sects. One believed in the true demons, while the other is merely named demons.
After this battle, the relationship between the three teachings and the Righteous Path might improve somewhat, at least we would feel embarrassed about fighting to the death in the short term. Besides, even if we wanted to fight, we wouldn’t be able to anymore.
After this two-front war, everyone will need to recuperate and recover for a century.
Dongfang Hongyue was quite optimistic about the future and very optimistic about the upcoming treasure hunt.
"If I can’t do it, call over my rebellious disciple... "
At this moment, Lin Yun, whom Dongfang Hongyue was thinking about, was traveling with the Snow Maiden towards the Snow Mountain.
The grassland was vast and limitless.
They set off at noon, riding Spirit Wolves, and arrived by nightfall.
The solitary smoke in the vast desert rose straight into the sky, and the long river turned the setting sun round.
Lin Yun enjoyed the view, feeling a sense of leisure as if he were on a trip.
In his past life, he was always working to earn a bit of money, using all kinds of tricks, and since he was too handsome, he even had to guard against the unspoken rules of older female supervisors. He could never be as carefree and at ease as he was now.
However, boys still need to protect themselves when they are out and about. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
For this trip, neither Bai Jiaojiao nor Green Snake followed, and Lin Yun was prepared to let them escape if necessary.
Once you’re an undercover agent, it’s like being in an ocean. Most of the time, there’s no best choice, just the right choice for the moment.
It’s impossible to be completely without risk, and Lin Yun was aware of that.
When the time came, it would be his turn to perform.
The grassland was incredibly vast; the Spirit Wolves ran at about 180 km/h, yet they still had to run all afternoon just to barely see the outline of the Great Snow Mountain in the distance.
Lin Yun thought they would arrive by evening, but then at night, the Snow Maiden summoned a few more Spirit Wolves and led everyone to travel overnight.
By the next morning, they could still only see the outline.
The entire area of the desert was probably bigger than the Great Zhou.
By noon, snowflakes were fluttering all around them.
Even though it was summer, the northern part of the desert remained covered in ice and snow.
Fortunately, all five of them had Cultivation Levels, so none of them felt cold.
By evening, they finally reached the foot of the Snow Mountain.
Good, the journey took two days of travel.
If the Snow Maiden had been alone, she could have reached the Snow Mountain overnight, and the same was true for other warriors. But now Huyan Jue and Zhang Ling were limited in their Cultivation Levels, and with Lin Yun’s insufficient level, they could only ride the wolves.
At the foot of the Great Snow Mountain, Lin Yun felt a sense of solemnity and gravity.
And indeed, the Great Snow Mountain was truly enormous.
Its outline could be seen from tens of thousands of li away, and up close, it was even more terrifying.
Was this mountain really something humans could cross?
Lin Yun thought of the descriptions he had read before.
To the north there lies a mountain, its height unknown in tens of millions of feet, its extent unknown in tens of millions of li, perpetually covered in flying snow, with no end in sight.
This was the farthest north anyone on the entire continent could reach.
Beyond the Great Snow Mountain, no one knew what lay there...
