Just as a kite is not a kite, a shuttle cannot fly.
It's a unique spatial formation unique to Yunting, and is also sold to the public, though at a steep price. Developed by the current master of Morning Star Mountain, it operates as a teleportation system. Simply inputting coordinates allows one to travel to any location in Cang Xuan in a matter of hours.
The reason why I say almost is that after knowing that Yunting had such a thing, the four borders were more or less on guard and hid the coordinates of some important places.
But this thing has a shortcoming - even if the distance is a few meters, if you use this thing to teleport, you have to wait in the teleportation array for several hours before the teleportation is successful.
This can be said to be equality of all beings in another sense.
The shuttle is also open to Yunting disciples, but...
The price is not affordable for ordinary disciples.
The cost of spirit stones for this trip to the border was a painful sum for Chang Xia personally. She would only take the shuttle when the sect reimbursed her for missions like this.
Chang Xia once discussed with Chen Siyan in private that the shuttle was priced so high that only a mentally ill person would take it.
Shen Siyan said: "The people outside Yunting."
Changxia: “...Ah”
Shen Siyan pretended to be profound, "Not every sect can afford a shuttle. As for those smaller sects... it's just that people are always obsessed with things they don't have. In some sects, even riding the Yunting shuttle has become a source of bragging."
Changxia was very puzzled by this.
Perhaps it was a tool specifically built to ensnare "distinguished guests," the interior of the shuttle was incredibly luxurious and comfortable. Sitting inside, one could barely feel the unique vibrations of space jumps.
Chang Xia sat on a chair covered in spirit animal fur, sipping tea and snacks, looking around. It was rare for her to use a shuttle, let alone this one, the most expensive private room that Shen Siyan had embezzled through his power for personal gain.
Shen Siyan set up a barrier and made sure that no one was around before saying to her, "There are some things that are not convenient to tell you openly, so I'm only finding an opportunity to tell you now."
Chang Xia pretended not to know: "There is something behind this incident."
Shen Siyan half covered her mouth with her hand and whispered to her: "That Qiao Songbai is actually Pei Xilai."
Changxia paused holding the pastry in the air, then casually put it into his mouth.
She was thinking about what she should say now.
"How did people from the Western Territory get involved?"
Shen Siyan looked at her thoughtfully. He couldn't tell whether Chang Xia knew about this matter or not.
But there was some news he had to tell her, so he continued, "You know how the resentful woman came to life. The one who died was Pei Xilai's old lover. He had lost his memory and had been practicing in the Three-foot Dao. Even after leaving the mountain, he rarely left the Western Territory. Over a hundred years ago, he reached the peak of the Spirit Severing Realm, but was never able to reach the Fusion Realm. Pei Jianshou thought it might be related to his past, so he sent him to our Yunting Morning Star Mountain to calculate. But before he even reached Yunting, he passed by Qingshi Town where the resentful woman was. When he saw her, everything in his past came back to him."
At this point, Shen Siyan sighed softly, "The resentful woman treated him as her old lover, and he also treated her as his old lover. The two of them have been together for decades, and Pei Xilai has never held a sword again. Can a sword cultivator who can't hold a sword still be considered a sword cultivator?"
Changxia heard the key word, sword.
She said softly, "So they came up with the idea of fishing for snow."
"I don't know. The news stops here. I only know that Pei Xilai and the others are heading to the Western Territory, and now they're looking for us there."
Shen Siyan picked up a cup on the table and rubbed it unintentionally with his thumb and index finger. He suddenly laughed, exerted force with his hand, and the cup broke into several pieces.
"You must be joking! The people from the Western Territory have caused us so much trouble, and they expect us to just let it go."
Changxia lowered her eyes in thought. She just noticed Shensi saying, big trouble.
Although Pei Xilai's case is somewhat complicated, based on Yun Ting's current intelligence, the two of them didn't do anything bad except escaping.
This is far from being a big problem.
Unless, Shen Siyan already knew that something went wrong with Diaoxue.
What Chen Siyan said was similar to what his senior brother had found out yesterday. This should be all the information Shanhai Pavilion had, but Changxia was sure that Chen Siyan must have concealed some information.
That part of the information was also not passed back to Yunting, and it should have only been circulated among the leader's branch.
When she raised her eyes, there was already a hint of condemnation in her eyes: "Don't you have to compensate for the cup?"
Chen Siyan picked up the fragments and put them together on the table. When he found that he couldn't put them together properly, he was too lazy to care about them anymore and just left them there.
"It's okay. I put your name on this private room. You'll be responsible if anything goes wrong."
Long Summer:...
Then, just after getting off the shuttle, Chang Xia received the bill from Morning Star Mountain on the kite. The signature of the person in charge at the end looked somewhat familiar.
Duanling Cliff.
Chang Xia showed the news to Shen Siyan in silence. Shen Siyan was heartbroken. He had gotten a low price at that time. He never thought that this guy was so rich and the shuttle business belonged to his family.
I had to compensate for breaking something. I was just about to tell her that I would deal with it after she returned to Yunting, but the next moment the compensation slip disappeared in the kite.
Instead, there was news about Duan Lingya himself.
He first said that he didn't know that the person in the private room was Changxia, and then said that it must be the cup's fault that Changxia broke it, and that their shuttle service was not up to standard and they had neglected Senior Sister Changxia. Finally, he said that Senior Sister Changxia would get a 50% discount on shuttle and boat rides in the future, and seeing that Senior Sister liked the snacks and fruits on the shuttle, he specially packed some and sent them to Cangfeng Mountain. He just hoped that Senior Sister would not bear grudge against him.
Chang Xia was stunned. It turns out that kites have a retract function.
But considering that the other party was from Morning Star Mountain, it didn't seem difficult to understand. After all, they were the ones who made the kite.
Shen Siyan glanced at the content of the message and felt even more heartbroken.
"How come even the flying boat belongs to him?"
Changxia didn't want to accept Chenxingshan's goodwill, so he sent a message to Xie Fengxue asking him to help deal with it, which caused Xie Fengxue to mock him for a while.
Changxia didn't want to pay attention to him, so she didn't reply and put the kite back into the storage bag.
The four realm monuments are all built in downtown areas.
Border crossers must go to the boundary marker, touch the boundary marker formation, and be registered in the boundary marker information before they can walk freely in other territories. Travelers who are not recorded will be treated as illegal immigrants and arrested by the law enforcement departments of each territories. Over time, city-states that accommodate travelers naturally emerged where boundary markers were erected.
But Ziyou City was different. Its founding stemmed from the discovery of a region impervious to all evil in Cangxuan, a land rife with monsters and beasts. Naturally, a city-state was built around this region. Later, boundary markers were established, and Ziyou City, as the hub of the two northwestern regions, grew increasingly prosperous.
The reason why this place is immune to all evil is naturally Diaoxue. Diaoxue is the only place in the four regions where the boundary marker is located.
Bie Jingchun threw 40,000 swords at Cang Xuan, forming a four-sided sword formation to isolate the demon clan outside the formation and protect the human world.
Each of the four realms has a formation eye, which carries Bie Jingchun's sword intent to suppress evildoers.
Singing to the pine trees, liking the moon, fishing in the snow and welcoming summer.
That’s right, the last one is Feng from Xie Fengxue and Xia from Changxia.
Changxia firmly opposed Bie Jingchun's decision to place Fengxia in the northern border, and finally he threw her in the farthest southern border.
The four swords were thrown away first, and the 40,000 swords were added later. Before the 40,000 swords were added, it was not easy for mortals to find a place to live in peace. The demons could step into the human territory with impunity, and they could only be killed one by one by the monks.
Many of the monsters living in the four realms today are those who stayed over from that time.
Diaoxue is inserted in the City Lord's Mansion. To be precise, the City Lord's Mansion of Ziyou City was built around Diaoxue.
But the boundary marker is in the center of the market in Ziyou City.
After Changxia and his group explained their purpose, they were warmly received by the city lord. Due to their different missions, after a grand welcome ceremony, Changxia stayed at the city lord's residence, while Chen Siyan stayed at an expensive inn in the market near the boundary marker. Because so many people passed through the border daily, the prices of the surrounding inns also rose sharply.
The City Lord originally wanted to charge him for the inn's expenses, but Shen Siyan righteously refused, saying that it was the Yunting disciples' responsibility to defend the northern border, and how could they let others pay for it? Then, under the City Lord's admiring gaze, he led the Yunting disciples out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chang Xia could hardly hold back his laughter in the back. There weren't that many responsibilities. It was just because the process of this mission would be reviewed by the top leaders of the two realms, and he couldn't make any money like before.
If the Three-foot Dao Sword Master saw that the future leader of Yunting was in such a state, it would be extremely embarrassing.
After sending Shen Siyan away, the city lord said to Chang Xia, "The room has been cleaned up. Would you like to check on the condition of the magic sword first, or go and rest first?"
Chang Xia said, "Let's go and see if we can catch snow first."
So the city lord led Changxia on the way.
Chang Xia looked around the City Lord's Mansion calmly. This place was originally just a straw hut built by a few refugees, and gradually expanded to its current size. The entire mansion was staggered with pavilions and towers, but it seemed to have a certain strange charm, making it seem uncomplicated at first glance.
Chang Xia asked curiously: "I think the arrangement of these buildings looks like some kind of formation."
The City Lord smiled and said, "You have a good eye, Immortal! This was arranged by the Lord of Morning Star Mountain a few years ago, saying it was to protect the divine sword. The City Lord's Mansion is also within the range of the formation, so we have a great advantage."
Changxia responded softly, thinking that she would ask Xie Fengxue in the evening. Anyway, she couldn't figure out what these formations were.
After turning a corner, the city lord finally stopped in front of a lake.
The lake doesn't cover a large area, only about thirty acres at most, but the water in the center of the lake is a dark green.
Deep water is green, deep water is black.
"Actually, we've never seen the divine sword before. It was only after the immortal from Yunting told us that we finally understood what has been protecting us for hundreds of years. Strangely enough, this water is bottomless. Before it was isolated in the City Lord's Mansion, the people could enter the water at will, yet no one ever drowned. Years ago, rumors circulated in the city that there was a lake immortal living within the water." The City Lord stroked his beard and said proudly, "The prosperity of Ziyou City over the years is entirely due to the divine sword."
But Changxia was no longer in the mood to continue chatting with him.
She looked at the center of the lake with a serious expression.
As Bie Jingchun's direct disciple, Chang Xia could clearly sense at this moment—
The sword intent that should have been contained in the Diaoxue Sword is gone.
