"Please wait a moment, are you two mountain climbers?"

Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi were stopped in front of the Wenshan Dao Gate by a young Daoist boy. The boy was about fifteen years old. Although he was young, he was full of energy and had a Daoist charm that was far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The two paused for a moment, and then Liu Zhaodi transmitted her voice to Jiang Yuan: "The Wenshan Dao Sect has always been in seclusion, receiving both ordinary people and cultivators. They will usually ask if you are a mountain climber, while mountain climbers are simply ordinary people who come to enjoy the scenery."

Jiang Yuan had no prior knowledge of the matter, so he could only rely on Liu Zhaodi to communicate with her.

“Young Daoist, we are seekers of the Dao.”

Hearing Liu Zhaodi's words, the young Taoist showed no surprise. Cultivators were not uncommon in this era. However, the Wenshan Taoist sect still maintained the mystery that a Taoist sect should have. Otherwise, they would have skipped the very first step of asking for directions.

"Do you have the Mountain Inquiry Token?" The young Taoist had clearly seen many cultivators, so he showed no surprise at their arrival.

Liu Zhaodi glanced at Jiang Yuan, who immediately took out the bone armor that Ji Shuo had given him and asked, "Is this considered the Mountain Inquiry Token?"

"Dominoes!" The young Taoist's expression tightened. After taking the bone armor and examining it, his eyes became even more excited. He exclaimed, "These are actually Senior Brother Ji's dominoes!"

"You mean Ji Shuo?" Jiang Yuan racked his brains, and slowly remembered what Ji Shuo looked like.

He had beaten up Ji Shuo when he helped Liu Zhaodi participate in a gambling match. It was at that time that Ji Shuo gave him the Bone Armor, saying that he hoped he could ask the Mountain Path Sect to carry forward the true secrets of bone armor.

"Did Senior Brother Ji Shuo really give it to you?" The boy's expression changed drastically, from indifference to enthusiasm in the blink of an eye.

"Ji Shuo is now at the Wenshan Dao Sect?" Jiang Yuan was also surprised. The Ji family had already moved to the Shennong Family in Lizhou before, but he didn't expect that Ji Shuo would not go to the Shennong Family and instead stay at the Wenshan Dao Sect.

"Please wait a moment, guests. I will send a message to Senior Brother Ji Shuo." The young disciple took out a communication stone to transmit the message to the sect.

However, Liu Zhaodi looked at the mountains in front of her and felt uneasy. She sent a telepathic message to Jiang Yuan: "Be careful, I feel something is not right."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"It's hard to say for sure right now, it's just a gut feeling. Anyway, we'd better be careful," Liu Zhaodi advised.

Jiang Yuan was naturally wary of this. His current identity was special, and he probably didn't know how many people were coveting the exclusive divine position he could obtain after killing him.

Even if it were the Chen family from before, Jiang Yuan believed that if they hadn't used methods that made Chen Zhen and the others wary, the Chen family would have attacked him.

A divine position that can attain enlightenment is ten thousand times more precious than escaping a half-decayed body.

After the Taoist boy left, the two waited at the foot of the mountain for a full half hour before the group of people rushed down in a panic. The one in the lead was Ji Shuo.

But Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi both noticed that Ji Shuo's expression was off, and his eyes kept gesturing for them to leave.

"Looks like this is a tough nut to crack!" Liu Zhaodi sighed inwardly. Ji Shuo and they had become acquainted through a fight, and since they were from the same southern city, his current appearance was definitely a reminder for them to leave.

"Wife, I'll go up alone. You stay outside and meet me." Jiang Yuan had guessed that this time obtaining the Bone Secret wouldn't be as easy as before, but he was determined to obtain the Nine Arts of the Human Race, even if it meant going through fire and water.

"No need. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. I also want to see what kind of trouble the Wenshan Dao Sect is up to." How could Liu Zhaodi leave at this time? Even if a god stood in front of her, she would have the courage to face it together with Jiang Yuan.

"cough!"

Ji Shuo coughed lightly, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes, but a man walking alongside him patted Ji Shuo on the shoulder.

"Junior Brother Ji, what are you standing there for? A distinguished guest has arrived, hurry up and welcome him into the mountain," the man said with a forced smile.

Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi, having traveled this far, naturally had excellent eyesight and could tell at a glance that this man was only superficially polite and probably very hypocritical inside.

Seeing this, Ji Shuo also stopped issuing any warnings and hugged Jiang Yuan as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"I don't know who you are, but you'd better leave quickly," Ji Shuo whispered to Jiang Yuan during their embrace.

Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi were both disguised, and even Ji Shuo couldn't recognize them just by looking at them.

"Junior Brother Ji, alright, you can go back now!" The man turned around and glanced at Ji Shuo, a hint of threat in his expression.

Ji Shuo had no choice but to leave first.

After Ji Shuo left, the man introduced himself, "I am Daoist Chengyun. May I ask how you two are addressed?"

"No need for formalities. We're here to see your sect leader." Liu Zhaodi didn't even mention her name. Given her status, there was no need for her to report to a disciple at the Xuan Shen level. Besides, only the sect leader of the Mountain Dao Sect was qualified to decide on the matter of the Bone Secret.

"Find the sect leader!"

A chill crept into the man's eyes. He thought to himself, "They really are the reinforcements they brought."

Liu Zhaodi's long-cultivated air of superiority suddenly erupted, and she said impatiently, "What, does the Xuanshan Sect Master not want an old friend to come to visit?"

"You know...our sect leader?" Daoist Chengyun's expression changed.

"Don't waste our time!"

As soon as Liu Zhaodi finished speaking, a little fox emerged from her arms, its aura of the ninth level of the Divine Realm permeating the entire area. The disciples of the Wenshan Dao Sect who were accompanying her were unable to withstand the pressure and retreated violently. Only Chengyun Daoist apologized in fear.

With a spirit beast at the ninth level of the Supreme God Realm, this kind of person is not someone he, a Profound God Realm cultivator, can afford to offend. As for the conflicts between the higher-ups, he has no say in them.
