Looking out over the Shu Mountains, one is surrounded by a spiritual aura.
Since ancient times, Mount Shu has been considered a blessed land and an excellent place for spiritual cultivation.
However, in recent years, the spiritual energy of Mount Shu has been rapidly diminishing.
In fact, the spiritual energy across the entire continent is decreasing.
As a result, cultivation resources, which were already scarce, have now become a key area of ​​contention among various factions.
Some smaller sects, even those that had become affiliated with the four major sects, were forced to disband and perish due to a lack of supplies.
Bian Lang circled around halfway and appeared behind Mount Shu.
A powerful barrier covers the entire Shu Mountain, and only those with the waist tokens of Shu Mountain disciples can pass through it.
Dugu Meng had been planning to attack Shu Mountain for years, and naturally he had also obtained some waist tokens.
Shushan has very strict management of waist tokens, and anyone who loses one will be severely punished.
Once a certain number of waist tags are lost, they will replace them.
Long ago, Dugu Meng had a large number of Shushan waist tokens. After learning that Shushan had chosen to change them, he dared not collect more and only took less than ten.
Replacing waist tags is extremely troublesome and resource-intensive. If not enough waist tags are lost, Shushan will only strengthen its defenses and will not choose to replace them.
Bian Lang was holding a waist token in his hand.
Dugu Meng repeatedly instructed that Bian Lang could only enter Shu Mountain after the Iron Siege City launched a full-scale attack.
But Bian Lang ignored him, holding the waist token, and passed directly through the barrier.
Knowing that the Iron City was about to be attacked, everyone in Shushan was making preparations, and Bian Lang saw this as an excellent opportunity.
According to the information Dugu Meng has gathered over the years, the Kunlun Mirror is not stored in the treasure pavilion of Mount Shu, but rather in a cave within Mount Shu, providing a continuous source of spiritual energy to the entire mountain.
Ancient artifacts can sense each other if they are close enough.
Leng Yueshuang insisted that Bian Lang bring the Fuxi Qin.
Bian Lang ultimately refused, leaving the Fuxi Qin in the Iron City to help them defend against powerful enemies.
As for finding the Kunlun Mirror, he has his own methods.
Since ancient artifacts can sense each other, the same applies to using the Pangu Axe.
If all else fails, capturing an elder from Mount Shu and interrogating him might be a better option.
Mount Shu is very tall, with many caves and abodes, all places filled with spiritual energy.
However, due to the large number of disciples in the Shu Mountain sect, only a minority of people are able to possess their own cave dwellings.
The top-tier cave dwellings near the mountain peak are reserved for elders and above.
The best cave dwelling naturally belongs to Qiu Wuwei.
However, because Li Ziyi's injuries were extremely serious, Qiu Wuwei allowed her to stay there, which greatly benefited her recovery.
The Kunlun Mirror is so important that Qiu Wuwei would only keep it in the place closest to him, either in his own cave or on the mountaintop.
A large number of Shushan disciples flew down the mountain on their swords, preparing to meet the approaching Iron Enclosure City army.
Bian Lang traversed the forest, avoiding checkpoints, and quickly ascended the mountain.
Thunderous shouts of battle soon echoed from the foot of the mountain.
The sky was filled with clusters of sword lights.
Bianlang sped up and easily reached the top of the mountain.
The ancient formation that Leng Yueshuang mentioned did not appear, and everything went so smoothly that Bian Lang found it very abnormal.
"Bian Lang, I never expected you to join the Iron Enclosure City." Li Ziyi suddenly appeared, holding a long sword, her face as cold as frost.
Judging from her expression, she had clearly anticipated that an enemy would come here, but she hadn't expected that this person would be Bian Lang.
Now that Xing Tian's remains were not beside Bian Lang, Li Ziyi naturally felt no fear whatsoever.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "I am just a partner of Tie Weicheng, unlike you, who has been doing your fair share of summoning clouds and rain with Old Qiu, day and night, haven't you?"
"You... shameless!" Li Ziyi was furious. She swung her sword, and the purple sword light swiftly reached Bian Lang's eyes.
Bian Lang easily dodged the attack and laughed loudly, "As the wife of the former leader of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, you live in the cave of the Shu Mountain Sect Leader. If it's not so that the Shu Mountain Sect Leader can study the holes on your body, then what is it?"
Bian Lang's foul language provoked Li Ziyi to lose her temper and launch a frenzied attack with her sword.
Her swordsmanship was extremely skillful, and her spiritual power was also very strong, but unfortunately, her opponent was Bian Lang.
In Bian Lang's eyes, Li Ziyi's sword speed was not fast. No matter how exquisite the sword technique, if the speed cannot keep up, it will be full of flaws.
Bian Lang kept dodging, but would occasionally pinch or touch Li Ziyi's body, either on her chest or her buttocks, causing Li Ziyi to have an emotional breakdown, shedding more tears than sweat.
The shouts of battle from below the mountain were even more ferocious than before.
Bian Lang suddenly struck, sealing Li Ziyi's acupoints.
Li Ziyi was unable to move, but her mind quickly regained its composure, though it was too late.
She was supposed to follow Qiu Wuwei's instructions and not fight the enemy who appeared there, but simply lure them into a trap.
But under Bian Lang's foul language, she fell into his trap.
Bian Lang asked with a smile, "Where is the Kunlun Mirror?"
"Do you think I'd tell you?" Li Ziyi said arrogantly.
Dugu Meng was not an idiot, yet he launched an attack at this time. Therefore, after discussion, they felt that Dugu Meng was most likely after Kunlun Mirror.
As they had predicted, the person who came to seize the Kunlun Mirror turned out to be Bian Lang, which made Li Ziyi quite flustered.
Bian Lang pinched Li Ziyi's chin, gently lifted her head, and touched her still delicate face, laughing, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I think the scenery here is quite nice, how about we play around some more?"
"What are you playing at?" Li Ziyi's eyes showed fear.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "You know very well what's going on in your mind."
There was a pile of rubble on the side, some of which were relatively flat.
Bian Lang grabbed Li Ziyi and laid her flat on a stone, then reached out to untie her clothes.
"You...you kill me now!" Tears streamed down Li Ziyi's face.
She's already this old, does she really want to be bullied by a young boy?
Bian Lang ripped off his belt and chuckled, "I don't like corpses, not even warm ones."
"In the first cave below." Feeling Bian Lang's hand reaching towards her skirt, Li Ziyi hurriedly called out.
Bian Lang pulled Li Ziyi up and laughed, "You should have said so earlier. You really like being with me..."
"Despicable!" Li Ziyi was furious.
She was indeed fearless, but what she feared most was encountering a scoundrel like Bian Lang.
Even though she had been widowed for many years, Qiu Wuwei openly and secretly wanted to go to Wushan with her, but she politely refused.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but there was a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't overcome.
Bian Lang scooped Li Ziyi up in his arms and leaped off the cliff, disappearing into the cave closest to the mountain peak with a whoosh.
"I've already told you the whereabouts of the Kunlun Mirror, why won't you let me go?" Li Ziyi curled up in Bian Lang's arms, feeling angry, shy, and with a strange, indescribable feeling.
Bian Lang said, "What if you're lying to me?"
Li Ziyi was not lying; the Kunlun Mirror was indeed deep within this cave, but as long as Bian Lang went in, he would be trapped inside and unable to escape.
