Chapter 629: Truly, the myriad worlds have everything! (Please subscribe
While the Elder was speaking, he scolded the disciples around him who were watching like fools: "What are you all standing there for?! Why don't you hurry and brew the best 'Snow-Peak Spiritual Mist'! Take all those spiritual fruits and snacks from the warehouse too! A noble guest has arrived, and you have no sense at all!"
This sudden, almost fawning scene left Lu Mumu completely stunned, her red lips slightly parted, her beautiful eyes wide open, full of disbelief.
This Elder of hers usually didn't even bother with the generals guarding Hantie Pass, and even when facing Army Supervisor Wang, he only dealt with him perfunctorily. He hadn't even given the Khan Huyan Lan a good look. When had she ever seen him be so polite, or even respectful, to such a young court official?
Li Chen was calm and composed, only nodding slightly: "Elder, you are too kind."
The so-called "chat" that followed made Lu Mumu feel that things were getting more and more wrong.
Basically, it was Li Chen asking a few questions about the Northern situation and the recent state of the sect, while her Elder, who was usually sparing with words and unfathomable, answered as if he were answering a teacher, telling everything he knew, his attitude respectful to the point of being cautious.
After chatting for a while, Li Chen mentioned seemingly casually: "I have long heard that the Sumi Lingxiao Pavilion is a hidden immortal sect with a magnificent atmosphere. Since I have arrived here, I would like to stop by your sect's mountain gate to take a look and pay a visit to your He He Zongzhu. I wonder if it is convenient?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples around showed expressions of disapproval.
How noble was the status of a hidden sect's He He Zongzhu? Was it someone an outsider could see just by asking?
Moreover, they all knew that the He He Zongzhu was currently in deep seclusion in the depths of the snow mountains, charging toward a higher realm, and had long ago ordered that no outside guests be seen.
Lu Mumu was anxious and wanted to remind Li Chen of this, and tactfully inform him of the He He Zongzhu's seclusion.
Who would have thought that her Elder would not hesitate at all, immediately patting his chest and guaranteeing with a firm tone: "Convenient! Of course it's convenient! It is the honor of our Sumi Lingxiao Pavilion that Commandant Cheng is willing to lower himself to visit! This old man will lead the way for you! My mount, the 'Snow-Cloud Tiger,' travels a thousand miles a day and is extremely fast; it will definitely not delay the Commandant's time!"
These words left the surrounding disciples completely dumbfounded, and they looked at Li Chen with suspicious eyes, guessing what kind of heaven-shaking background this young man had.
Lu Mumu covered her small mouth, looking at the calm Li Chen beside her in shock, a stormy sea rising in her heart.
The Snow-Cloud Tiger was also a rare spiritual beast, walking on the snow-mountain terrain as if on flat ground. In less than half a day, they had arrived in the depths of the Northern snow mountains.
After passing through an invisible spiritual energy barrier, the scene before them suddenly opened up.
They saw a huge valley of jade towers hidden among several towering snow peaks.
The jade buildings were built against the mountains, the flying eaves and arched beams all made of some kind of ice-crystal jade, flowing with seven-colored light in the snow and sunlight, like a fairyland.
The air was filled with extremely pure heaven-and-earth spiritual energy; breathing it made one feel refreshed. Spiritual herbs and immortal flowers could be seen everywhere in the valley, and there were even a few spiritual deer and immortal cranes walking leisurely—a scene of an immortal family.
Lu Mumu was still immersed in the beauty of her own sect's holy land when she saw several streams of light rushing from the direction of the main hall!
The leader was slender, wearing a moon-white wide Taoist robe with cloud patterns, her sleeves fluttering, like an immortal who didn't eat the food of the human world.
When that figure landed gracefully, Lu Mumu saw the person's face clearly and was so shocked she nearly cried out!
The person who came was none other than her master, who should have been in deep seclusion in the depths of the snow mountains, the He He Zongzhu of the Sumi Lingxiao Pavilion, the True Person "Ice Lotus"!
True Person Ice Lotus had a simple face, looking no more than twenty years old, but her actual age was impossible to determine.
