After dismissing the two disciples, Su Cheng seemed to feel much more at ease. He stood up and stretched, the scent of the fox and the saintess still lingering in the air, which smelled wonderful.

He redeemed a flying sword from the system. Although he is not strong now, he has already reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. He only needs to get used to flying on the sword for a while before he can skillfully control it.

If he could make some preparations beforehand for the martial arts competition at Mount Ling, he would be able to deal with "that guy" when he arrives.

With that thought in mind, Su Cheng went downstairs and out the door.

However, as soon as Su Cheng came downstairs, Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao poked their heads out of the room.

"Senior sister, is Master going out?" This was the first time Li Shiyao had seen Master leave without saying a word. In the past, even when he went out to buy groceries, he would inform the two of them in advance.

Ye Qinghan didn't speak, also feeling a bit curious. In her eyes, her master was a homebody who rarely went out unless there was something important to do.

And this time, they didn't even tell the two sisters. Was it urgent? Or was it very important? Did they not want their disciples to know?

"Shiyao?"

"Senior Sister?"

The two looked at each other and spoke almost simultaneously.

"Shall we go take a look?" The two of them said in unison, agreeing immediately!

Ye Qinghan smiled, casually picked up a magic sword, and dragged Li Shiyao out the door: "Be careful, don't let Master find out."

Su Cheng rode on the flying sword, expecting it to feel like riding a motorcycle at high speed, with the wind so strong it would make it hard to open his eyes.

However, it seems I was overthinking it. When flying on a sword, there is a barrier at the tip of the sword that acts like a windshield, so flying on a sword is not as difficult as I thought.

Su Cheng found it even simpler than riding a bicycle; with just a thought, the flying sword seemed to understand him perfectly and flew in the direction he desired.

Before long, Su Cheng arrived at a desolate mountain. Although it was surrounded by green hills and clear waters, it was lifeless. The mountains were shrouded in thick fog, and even flying high on a sword, it was difficult to see clearly.

"This is it! If you can't see it, that's because you can't!"

Having chosen a deserted village, Su Cheng slowly descended on his sword and began making preparations. After giving the Chaos Bell to Li Shiyao, Su Cheng could only use other protective magic treasures.

However, I have no regrets, after all, I can't let my disciples suffer even if I'm poor.

He casually put on four or five protective magical artifacts and then summoned a mythical-level protective armor before heading into the mountains along the only mountain path.

He took out the jade pendant, left a message for Qinghan and the other person, and then went into the mountain with peace of mind.

Not far away, Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao also noticed the jade pendant trembling slightly at the same time and saw the same information.

You two sisters need not worry, I will be right back.

While the two sisters were still in a daze, Su Cheng had already walked a certain distance. In these mountains, all means of determining direction would fail, and most unlucky people who blindly entered the mountains would end up trapped and dying there.

However, Su Cheng knew that this was not some magical geographical environment, but rather the result of the influence of a spatial magic treasure. The entire area within a hundred miles was shrouded by the magic treasure, making it no different from a secret realm.

This is the Dragon King's method of concealment. The Dragon King is at a critical stage of his breakthrough and will be able to break through to the realm of immortals in a few hundred years at most.

Because of the individual nature of the dragon race, she is not affected by the Heavenly Dao or the laws of destiny, and the rules cannot be imposed on her. Therefore, she can remain in the human world and become a ruler of a region.

When all beasts submit, she will rule the world and sweep across it with undeniable power.

However, Su Cheng's arrival at this time was not to cause trouble for the Dragon King's sister.

If possible, Su Cheng would prefer to go his separate ways with her and not interfere with each other's lives.

The reason for this visit is to borrow something from the Dragon King's sister. If she is unwilling, Su Cheng is willing to exchange it for some rare and precious materials.

And borrowing the magic weapon was, of course, also to save his beloved Shiyao.

In Su Cheng's understanding, at the end of the martial arts competition at Mount Ling, a great terror from another world arrived in this world and used strange supernatural powers to infiltrate Mount Ling, mixing its clones among them.

The target of that great terror was his second disciple, the Holy Maiden Li Shiyao.

The Holy Maiden was naturally a beauty of unparalleled grace, and her body was the coveted furnace for all powerful individuals. Every drop of her holy blood was worth a fortune.

The spiritual energy in this world is scarce, and even the most talented cultivators are no match for the powerful beings from beyond the heavens. Dozens of elders are no match for even a single clone, and the sect leaders are also helpless!

Li Shiyao, a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, was also kidnapped. Although she was later rescued by Cheng Liang, he no longer liked her and even turned a blind eye when other disciples bullied her.

After that, the once lively Li Shiyao became taciturn. Having lost her innocence, she ultimately became a pawn, dying while protecting Cheng Liang.

To prevent such a thing from happening again in Lingxian Palace, Su Cheng decided to fundamentally change Shi Yao's future.

There is a way to deal with that evil cultivator's clone, but it requires the Dragon King's companion magic treasure, the spiritual pearl that the Dragon King nurtures on his spiritual platform.

This spirit pearl possesses the cultivation of the previous Dragon King for a thousand years, making it immune to most mind control-type supernatural abilities.

Although Su Cheng also possessed magical artifacts with similar effects, the three members of Lingxian Palace were not highly skilled enough to unleash the full power of their artifacts and were insufficient to counter the evil cultivator's supernatural abilities.

But that spirit pearl is different. It already has a thousand years of cultivation, and even ordinary cultivators can easily activate it. The current Dragon King is almost immune to all poisons and impervious to swords and spears thanks to the spirit pearl.

With this, the evil cultivator would be unable to control the sect leaders. Even if he possessed extraordinary abilities, he would likely be unable to deal with so many sect leaders and family heads.

As Su Cheng walked in, he summoned his magical artifact, the "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains Map." Although he couldn't use it, it could prevent him from getting lost.

"Who goes there?" A deep voice came from all directions, truly from all directions, because Su Cheng couldn't determine the other party's location by sound alone.

His voice sounded like that of a thousand-year-old ox, with a slightly hoarse, smoky tone that sounded a bit awkward to listen to.

"Big brother, don't get agitated. I'm a good person. I've come to find the Dragon King."

Su Cheng quickly tried to curry favor, as he had no intention of antagonizing the Dragon King and had come to ask for his help.

There's no going back now. It's impossible to continue hiding like before. Su Cheng has figured out that he needs to stand up, which means making more friends, increasing his strength, and expanding his influence!

Since he was destined to be a villain, Su Cheng wanted to decide for himself what kind of villain he would be.

In recent days, Su Cheng's attitude towards Dongfang Jue has improved. After all, although he didn't intend to take him in, he didn't want to make things too awkward.

Being able to befriend the Dragon King's sister at this moment would be the best thing ever.

"roll."

"No, brother, don't be so cold. Why don't we sit down and talk about it? Maybe the Dragon King sister would like to talk to me too?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a visible white slash came hurtling toward Su Cheng!

Su Cheng also quickly dodged. Although he had a magic weapon protecting him, just like the Chaos Bell in Su Cheng's hands, which he used to throw, the protective magic weapon was only strong in itself, and Su Cheng could not use it flexibly.
