Chapter 697 Preparing to Climb



"Hey...you're from Nanzhou, do you understand?"

"Of course I know. The Tiansha Holy Palace in Nanzhou was destroyed by him."

"What?!"

After some discussion, Lu Jingzhi's identity was revealed.

The two main topics are Yan An's fiancé and Lord Lu.

"Everyone, be quiet."

A faint sense of oppression descended upon the square.

A slightly overweight man suddenly appeared and stood on the high platform in the square.

His belly was slightly bulging, like a round ball.

He is not tall and has a short build, but he exudes an aura of majesty without even being angry.

On her round face, her chubby cheeks always have a friendly blush.

The eyes beneath his thick eyebrows were like two deep black gemstones, sometimes flashing with shrewdness, and sometimes filled with smiles, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

The man coughed lightly a few times, a flattering smile plastered across his face. He asked respectfully, "Ahem... Today, Saint Lady Ye and Young Master Lin have come together to challenge this towering mountaintop. I wonder if you two are confident?"

Lin Qiyue took a step forward and raised her head slightly, "Well, I'm certainly confident that I can successfully reach the summit."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Xi beside him also echoed with a smile: "I think so too."

Hearing the two people's reply, the man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried in his heart.

So he continued cautiously: "That would be great, but if there are any unexpected situations along the way."

"When the time comes, if the Tianyue Sect and Lingshan Sect blame me and cause trouble for me, I will be helpless!"

Just earlier today, he heard the news that these two talented people were going to climb to the top of the mountain.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and in a panic, he ran all the way here.

Because he knew very well that if something unexpected really happened, with the tremendous power of those two major forces, he would definitely be in trouble.

Therefore, no matter what, we must try our best to completely shirk responsibility.

At this moment, Ye Xi, who had been smiling, seemed to see through the man's thoughts and said briskly, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

The man was startled at first, then quickly responded, "I'd like to ask you two to sign a contract with our town. If you encounter any accidents during the climb, the town will have nothing to do with any consequences."

"I hope you two will be so kind as to grant my request."

Ye Xi thought about it for a moment and thought that this request was reasonable. Then he nodded and agreed readily, "Okay, no problem."

Seeing Ye Xi agreed so readily, the man was overjoyed and quickly turned his gaze to Lin Qiyue.

Seeing this, Lin Qiyue thought for a moment and nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Standing in the crowd, Lu Jingzhi tried hard to suppress his smile and thought to himself.

[I never thought this guy would come up with something like a disclaimer.]

After the agreement was completed, the climbers began to head towards the peak of life.

Lu Jingzhi turned around and looked at the people around him, "Everyone, I'll go first."

Before he could finish his words, Mu Jin reached out and grabbed his arm.

His face was filled with deep worry.

She whispered, "Jingzhi, this journey is full of dangers. You must return safely. Mother is waiting for you here."

Lu Jingzhi felt the concern in Mu Jin's words and nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, mother. I will be careful and cautious and won't make you worry."

At this moment, the eyes of everyone around were focused on the intersection of the stairs leading to the peak of life.

Lu Jingzhi walked forward and saw that the stone stairs in front of him had been eroded by time and were covered with thick moss. It looked no different from an ordinary stone staircase.

At the same time, Lu Jingzhi quickly looked at the other people present.

In addition to himself and two other geniuses, there are seven independent cultivators.

Among these seven wandering cultivators, five of them were old men with gray hair and weathered faces.

The remaining two people were a man and a woman, who looked quite young.

At this moment, although everyone had arrived in front of the stone stairs, for some reason, no one dared to take the first step.

The entire scene fell into a suffocating silence, with only the slight breeze blowing across everyone's cheeks bringing a hint of coolness.
