âKunlun?â The woman stood in front of the north gate of Xicheng Mountain, staring at the strange mountain terrain as though she was thinking about something.
âImmortal Supremacy, do you really want to enter the mountain personally?â Wang Mingyuan, who was dressed in white, stood not far behind the woman and spoke respectfully. âCanât I enter Kunlun?â the woman said indifferently. âImmortal Supremacy, you can go anywhere regardless of how big the world is. However, Earth hasnât been completely breached yet, so itâs a little inconvenient. Immortal Supremacy, why do you have to enter the mountain personally? It will be fine getting a subordinate to enter the mountain with me to scout the situation,â Wang Mingyuan said.
âYou donât have to say it so tactfully. Even though Iâm restricted to a certain extent on Earthââthe woman said with an indifferent expression-'so what? Ignoring the mere restriction, even if I canât use any strength, thereâs nothing on Earth that can harm me at
all.â
âYouâre right, Immortal Supremacy.â Wang Mingyuan didnât say anything else. âWhy must we enter through the north gate?â the woman asked as she looked at the mountain entrance.
âOut of the nine gates of Kunlun, there are only the east, west, south, and north gates that remain unhidden. The other five gates are hidden. I only know three of the five hidden gates. The things I see when I enter Kunlun Mountain from those three gates are completely different. Entering Kunlun through the four gates results in being at different locations, but itâs only a difference in location. The things seen are the same.â Wang Mingyuan paused before continuing, âThe sword I saw can only be seen by entering the four unhidden gates.â âSince the things seen from entering the four unhidden gates are the same, why donât we enter through the other three gates? Why must we enter through the north gate?â the woman asked again.
âThereâs a Mountain God Temple outside the other three gates. Itâs difficult to hide our whereabouts when entering the mountain from there. The mountain is already aware, so itâs not convenient for us to do anything,â Wang Mingyuan said.
âThen letâs enter through the north gate.â The woman glanced at Wang Mingyuan and nodded slightly. âIâll lead the way,â Wang Mingyuan said as he walked towards the mountain entrance.
The woman followed behind Wang Mingyuan unhurriedly and they entered the mountain entrance one after another.
âJunior Brother, stop walking about. Letâs enter the mountain quickly.â Liu Yun followed Zhou Wen and kept persuading him to enter the mountain quickly. âThereâs no rush. Letâs walk around first.â Zhou Wen was certain that Liu Yun was hiding something from him. Furthermore, it was something very important. Otherwise, with Liu Yunâs personality, he wouldnât be in such a rush.
Even if he was anxious, he wouldnât reveal such a look.
âIâll tell you the truth. Iâm not the only one who knows that the sword is in Kunlun Mountain. Iâm really afraid that someone else will beat us to it. Stop walking around. Letâs go in quickly.â Liu Yun knew that if he didnât say anything, it would be impossible for him to pull Zhou Wen into the mountain.
Zhou Wen looked at Liu Yun and didnât say a word. Liu Yun said anxiously, âDonât look at me like that. I swear that everything I said was the truth. If thereâs a single false word, it will make my lower body impotent for the rest of my life.â
âYou actually dared to make such a venomous oath. From the looks of it, you arenât lying to me,â Zhou Wen said with a nod.
âThen letâs go, quickly. Time waits for no one. We have to get the sword out before the others,â Liu Yun said anxiously. âI said that I believe you, but I didnât say that Iâll enter the mountain now. Iâll walk around first,â Zhou Wen said as he continued walking forward, ignoring whether Liu Yun followed.
âJunior Brother, donât you realize whatâs happening now? Donât throw a tantrum. If that sword is snatched by someone else, wonât that suck for us? When the time comes, it would be too late for regret,â Liu Yun said gloomily.
âThen tell me. Who will beat us to it?â Zhou Wen had no intention of turning back as he continued walking forward.
âAbout thatâŚâ Liu Yun was stunned.
âYou werenât the one who discovered the sword in Kunlun Mountain,â Zhou Wen suddenly said. âHow did you know?â Liu Yun was slightly taken aback.
âYou are good at stealing, and thereâs nothing in such a place that you can steal. Without knowing whatâs inside, you definitely wonât go in for a stroll,â Zhou Wen said.
âAlright, I admit that I didnât discover it.â Liu Yun knew that he couldnât fool Zhou Wen, so he didnât deny it.
The only person who could find such a strange place was probably that strange old man. âYou guessed wrongly this time. This place wasnât found by the old fellow first.â Liu Yunâs answer exceeded Zhou Wenâs expectations.
âWho is it?â Zhou Wen asked curiously.
âI can tell you, but you have to promise me that you will immediately follow me into the mountain when you know the answer,â said Liu Yun.
âThen itâs best I donât know.â Zhou Wen continued walking forward.
Liu Yun burned with anxiety as he said helplessly, âItâs our human traitor teacher who discovered it. He also made a deal with the old fellow and got me to get you to retrieve the sword. However, he told me not to tell you
yet.â
âHuman traitor?â Zhou Wen was taken aback before he realized what Liu Yun meant.
âWhy didnât he tell me himself?â Zhou Wen frowned.
âI donât know. He only told the old fellow that the Immortals are very interested in that sword. We have to take it before the Immortals do. We might be too late if we delay our entry. Itâs best if you quickly enter the mountain with me,â said Liu Yun.
âIt doesnât make sense.â Zhou Wen had no intention of turning back.
âWhat do you mean it doesnât make sense? What I said was true. If I lie to you, Iâll let you remove my head and use it as a toilet.â Liu Yun was really anxious.
âI mean, this entire matter doesnât make sense.â Zhou Wen thought for a moment and continued, âTeacher discovered this place first, right?â
âThatâs right.â Liu Yun nodded.
âSince he was the one who discovered it first, he could have informed me earlier even if it wasnât convenient for him to retrieve the sword. Why did he have to wait until the Immortals are about to arrive before getting you to take me to retrieve the sword?â Zhou Wen pondered. âPerhaps he canât do so in the dimension because of the situation and he didnât have the chance to inform you,â said Liu Yun.
âIf itâs really that urgent, why would he take such a huge detour? He even wants you to take me there and not tell me the news directly?â Zhou Wen turned around and said to Liu Yun, âAfter your grandfather received the news, he probably spent quite some time understanding the situation inside, right?â
âYou know that too?â Liu Yun looked at Zhou Wen in surprise.
âWith that old manâs personality, how can he easily trust others? Furthermore, heâs risking his grandsonâs life. If he doesnât figure out the situation inside, how can he let you take me in?â Zhou Wen said.
âNow that you mention it, it does seem to be the case,â Liu Yun said gloomily. âAre you telling me that Teacher wants to scam us?â âI donât think he will scam us. Perhaps heâs just using us as two chess pieces,â Zhou Wen said distractedly. His gaze and attention were attracted by the scenery ahead.
