Chapter 2339 Departure, Jinling Mountains

"Fellow Daoist, thank you for resolving these troubles. May I ask your esteemed name?"

Jin Xuan looked at Chen Xuan, her beautiful eyes full of smiles.

Compared to her aloofness not long ago, she was like a completely different person.

"Chen Xuan!"

Chen Xuan said calmly.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen. May I ask where Fellow Daoist Chen's master is?"

"Just an insignificant, nameless sect. Let's not even mention it!"

Chen Xuan remained calm and casually chuckled.

Jin Xuan didn't believe it at all when she heard this.

"Fellow Daoist, you're quite the joker. Judging from your actions just now, you don't seem like a genius cultivated by those small sects at all!"

"hehe!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, but he did not explain.

Compared to the entire Tiannan Immortal Realm, the Tianmeng Mountains are just a small, inconspicuous area.

Chen Xuan asked himself, in the Tiannan Mountains, the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm is definitely the top-level True Immortal.

However, in the entire Tiannan Immortal Realm, even an early-stage Golden Immortal is nothing more than an ant that is slightly stronger than an ordinary ant.

As for the sect behind him!

In the realm of true immortals seeking enlightenment, how many powerful sects would avenge a disciple at the Golden Immortal level?

Unless your father is an emperor!

Moreover, even a True Immortal like Xiao Qin, who has an Emperor as her father, has to behave properly when she goes out.

"Fairy, if your injuries have healed, then prepare to depart. The Lingxiao Jade Pearl Fruit is of utmost importance!" Chen Xuan reminded her.

"Rest assured, I will not forget this matter. We will depart immediately in three days!"

"Okay. See you in three days!"

Chen Xuan nodded and disappeared in a flash.

At this moment, he was no longer afraid that Jin Xuan would leave without permission.

After all, this is where his cave dwelling is located.

He could see every move Jin Xuan made.

"What a weirdo!"

After silently complaining as she watched Chen Xuan's retreating figure, Jin Xuan quickly sat down cross-legged on the ground to meditate and heal her injuries.

Back in his cave, Chen Xuan did not rush to cultivate.

Instead, he seriously reflected on what had just happened.

After confirming that he had handled everything without any problems, Chen Xuan smiled faintly.

"Next, I should also go to the Jinling Mountains to search for the Lingxiao Jade Pearl Fruit!"

"I hope that once I find the Lingxiao Jade Pearl Fruit, I can wake Chen Peng up."

"In that case, I will have two powerful demonic beasts at the early stage of Golden Immortal to protect me."

"Even if you encounter a mid-stage Golden Immortal, you will have a chance to save your life."

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

Thinking that the cave dwelling he had rented was only for a thousand years.

Moreover, now that hundreds of years have passed, the lease term will probably expire soon. Chen Xuan immediately summoned the demonic beasts Chen Xie and Chen Chong.

Tell them to hurry up and pack up the things in the cave.

Three days had just passed when Chen Xuan put away the Nebula Array and the Water Spirit Immortal Array, and left quickly with Jin Xuan.

Just one day later, Chen Xuan and Jin Xuan had safely left Lianyun City.

At this moment, the two, who were in disguise, did not notice that anyone was following them.

In order to reach the Jinling Mountains as soon as possible.

Chen Xuan was not polite either.

It directly activated the mid-grade Heavenly Mystery Ship.

This made Jin Xuan extremely envious.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is truly a remarkable person. Although he doesn't say it, his every move suggests that he has an extraordinary background!"

"A protector at the early stage of Golden Immortal realm, and a mid-grade Heavenly Mystery Boat—such a good thing!"

"Who would believe he's a disciple of some minor sect?"

Jin Xuan muttered to herself.

On the surface, however, they dared not say much.

The True Immortal Realm is a complex web of powerful forces.

Although she was a Golden Immortal Elder of the outer sect of Fuyou Cave.

However, in the entire Realm of True Immortals, he was nothing more than a minor figure.

As for Fuyou Cave!

Although it is known as one of the 108 blessed lands, the most powerful expert there is only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Unsure of Chen Xuan's powerful backing, Jin Xuan dared not make any moves against him.

hum!

The mid-grade Heavenly Mystery Ship vanished in the void as a fleeting afterimage.

Soon, it disappeared into the horizon.

However, the journey from here to the Jinling Mountains is long.

Even though Chen Xuan pushed the speed of the mid-grade Heavenly Mystery Boat to its limit, it still took the two of them a full month to successfully reach the Jinling Mountains.

Wow!

With a thought, Chen Xuan put away the mid-grade Heavenly Mystery Boat.

Choose to fly through the air at the foot of the Jinling Mountains.

There was originally no city at the foot of the Jinling Mountains.

As more powerful individuals ventured into and out of the Jinling Mountains to hunt demonic beasts, various shops began opening branches at the foot of the mountains.

Over time, it attracted many true immortals to settle down, forming a city where rogue cultivators gathered and all sorts of people mingled – Jinling City.

At this moment, Jinling City is much larger than Lianyun City.

The True Immortals who enter and leave Jinling City are all at least at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

As Chen Xuan flew through the air, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

He then noticed that several powerful figures at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm had sped past him like fleeting glimpses of a swan.

"Even a powerful expert at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm has come to Jinling City. It seems that the Jinling Mountains are indeed full of treasures!"

While secretly sighing, Chen Xuan took out the hand-drawn map given to him by the Immortal of Longevity and examined it carefully.

Although the map that the Immortal of Longevity gave him was very detailed.

But ultimately, it can't compare to a detailed map of the Jinling Mountains.

After looking at the map for a while, Chen Xuan put it away and walked towards Jinling City with Jin Xuan.

Before long, Chen Xuan stopped in front of a shop in Jinling City that specialized in selling maps of the Jinniuling mountain range.

He spent 100,000 mid-grade immortal stones to purchase a detailed map of the Jinling Mountains.

"Fairy, when will we enter the Jinling Mountains?" Chen Xuan asked curiously, putting away the map.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen is in such a hurry, why don't we rest for a while and head straight to the Jinling Mountains?"

"no problem!"

Chen Xuan agreed.

The two parted ways and rested in Jinling City for a day.

Once their energy and spirit had returned to their peak, the two headed straight for the depths of the Jinling Mountains.

……

In a dimly lit secret room in Jinling City.

Several powerful cultivators at the Golden Immortal realm gathered here.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat oppressive.

Everyone fell silent, their solemn gazes fixed on an elderly man in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

"Old Zhou, is there anything you need to tell me about that you've come to the Jinling Mountains?"

A young man in the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm looked at Elder Zhou with a respectful expression and asked.

"Hehe, I believe you've all heard about what's been happening in the Jinling Mountains lately, haven't you?"

"Is Elder Jin referring to the emergence of the Lingxiao Beast King from seclusion?"

"That's right! The old guy, the Lingxiao Beast King, has been in seclusion for so many years, hoping to take this opportunity to directly break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Among those present, I doubt anyone wants to see a powerful demon beast at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm appear in the Jinling Mountains, right?"

As Old Zhou finished speaking, his solemn gaze swept over everyone.

Seeing that everyone present had changed their expressions slightly and looked extremely serious, he said again, "You are all disciples of the major sects in our Tiannan Immortal Realm. You were sent to the Jinling Mountains just like me this time, in order to prevent the Lingxiao Beast King from advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"We must devise a thorough plan to determine how to proceed!"

As Mr. Zhou finished speaking, his expression became unusually solemn.

Upon seeing this, everyone present frowned deeply.

"That Lingxiao Beast King has been hiding in his lair and won't come out. If we want to kill him, we have to force him out of his lair!"

"Indeed. But this old fellow is always very cautious. What methods can we use to get him out of his lair?"

"This is easy. We'll capture as many of his disciples and followers as possible in the Jinling Mountains. Ideally, we should capture the direct grandson of the Lingxiao Beast King alive. That way, the old bastard will definitely leave his lair!"

"Good idea. In that case, let's send more powerful hunting teams into the Jinling Mountains!"

After discussing and agreeing on a plan of action, everyone began to take action.

Soon, everyone present left.

Old Zhou was alone, but he stayed in the secret room.

After a long while, when he was sure there was no one else in the secret room, a sharp glint appeared in Old Zhou's eyes.

Soon after, his indifferent voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoist, come out!"

No sooner had Old Zhou finished speaking than a middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe and wearing a golden crown appeared in the secret room with an imposing presence.

His sharp gaze swept over Old Zhou, and he immediately gave a cold smile.

"You're quite the schemers. If I hadn't overheard your plan, I might have fallen for your trick!"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you've been living in seclusion in the Jinling Mountains for so many years. You must have other means to protect your life. Even if our plan is perfectly executed, we still can't succeed, can we?"

"That's true. You've been secretly cooperating with me for so long. You could say you've single-handedly made me who I am today. If I can't solve these problems for you, I'm afraid my value will be completely lost, won't it?"

The middle-aged man was none other than the Lingxiao Beast King from the Jinling Mountains.

The Beast King Lingxiao calls himself Wang Lang!

He exuded a terrifying aura of a half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Compared to ordinary late-stage Golden Immortals at the Great Perfection realm, he was many times stronger.

No one could have imagined that the forces behind Old Zhou were secretly in contact with Wang Lang.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you truly live up to your reputation as a highly regarded expert. It's quite impressive that you are so familiar with this matter!"

"In that case, you must cooperate fully in this operation. Once we've gathered all the manpower, all we need to do is wreak havoc in the Jinling Mountains. Make sure that no one who enters the Jinling Mountains comes out alive!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery appeared between Wang Lang's brows.

"Does this mean that even if people from Meishan Cave come here, I won't show them any mercy?"

"Hehe, that's natural. If you were to give our Meishan Cave any leeway, wouldn't it easily arouse suspicion towards Meishan Cave Heaven?"

"Fellow Daoist is right. However, I do admire your methods of disregarding trifles in pursuit of great things. Haha... Farewell!"

Wang Lang laughed loudly, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Old Zhou, however, did not leave.

Instead, he continued to sit cross-legged in the same spot.

After a long while, a cold, mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Over the years, I have lived in Meishan Cave, but I have never forgotten where I come from."

"I have been ordered to come to Meishan Cave. This time, it is a test given to me by my superiors!"

"Once I have completed this matter, I can leave Meishan Cave and return to the sect!"

"At that time, I will definitely be able to enjoy abundant cultivation resources and attempt to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

As Mr. Zhou spoke, a deep smile appeared between his brows.

At this moment, Chen Xuan and Jin Xuan were unaware of this.

When they first entered the Jinling Mountains, powerful figures from various grotto-heavens actually sent people to the Jinling Mountains to kill the Lingxiao Beast King.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and Jin Xuan, who had already ventured deep into the Jinling Mountains, began searching for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Fragrance Rat and, by tracking it, in order to find the Lingxiao Jade Spirit Fruit.
