Chapter 394: Realm Harmony

"."

Pei Ye looked foolishly at the woman at the cave entrance. They were not too close; she happened to be integrated into the vast mountain rain, while he was hidden in the stone cave that isolated everything.

But it was in this perspective from dark to light that he suddenly realized why the woman had always been looking outside the rain curtain.

Because it was actually very beautiful.

—"High wind and fine rain, open scenery, this place is very good."

When in the dense forest, the damp and muddy rain would only make one annoyed; and if standing on the top of a high mountain, one would be in a sorry state, with bones and body cold.

Only in such a cliff.

Sitting in the quiet and dark cave and looking out, the stone wall extending to the end was like a large window, just right for looking into another vast and beautiful world.

The woman sat in the corner of this window, and her back also became part of this picture.

And it was at this moment when the boy truly felt this tranquility... that the woman's words truly uncovered something from his trembling heart, and a feeling of deja vu suddenly emerged.

His heart was pulled high and far, detaching from the current emotions, as if somewhere... there was someone who had always been waiting for him to meet.

He couldn't remember the name, couldn't recall the face, and didn't know where it was. Only this feeling was so intense. The boy stared fixedly at the woman's figure, and something unknown was about to break through the soil. His expression was almost somewhat blank and helpless.

The woman repeated the previous question peacefully again: "Do you want to learn the sword now?"

And so everything fell back to the current situation. Pei Ye was stunned for a while and said truthfully: ". I want to be quiet for a while, Miss Ming."

Ming Qitian nodded, but her gaze still fell on him: "You don't have any luggage on you, right?"

Pei Ye was stunned: ". No, why?"

"Nothing." The woman bent her legs and turned back. "I'm a bit hungry."

"." Pei Ye was stunned to remember that the woman only ate a very small amount of food on weekdays. Now that the Ice and Snow Body was broken, there was indeed almost nothing in her stomach.

"Then I'll go find some..." Pei Ye stood up, leaning against the wall in a somewhat flustered manner.

This was the fourth quarter of an hour since they entered the cliff cave. The mountains were remote and silent. In the fastest situation, Sima and Yi Duanzhi could arrive at this cliff cave at any moment.

————

Kongdong, Mountain Gate.

"No need to start the formation!" The man was in his thirties, with a brown face and slightly fat, wearing crane clothes, walking straight in with his sword pressed. Behind him followed more than fifty people, mostly elite troops from the government office, and several soft-clothed sword-wielding men, all of whom were inspectors from the Immortal Platform.

The mountain formation did not open. Xiao Changgong walked in, frowning with his sword pressed: "We arrived following the reinforcement letter from Magistrate Sui. Where is the Magistrate now?"

Gan Zifeng was slightly stunned as he looked over, the bloodstains on his body not yet faded, but his brows furrowed even deeper: ". Inspector Xiao, are there only the three of you from the Mystic Gate?"

Xiao Changgong frowned: "What is wrong with that? Mountain Master Ji is still here, and Commander Gao is also a veteran 【Audience Gate】."

He gestured backward, and the white-bearded, cold-faced general opened his eyes—Gao Feigong, indeed the commander with the highest rank that could be sent out by the prefecture city, and a famous master of spear technique in the two paths of Shaolong and Xilong.

Gan Zifeng, whose sword blade was still stained with blood, felt an inexplicable anger rising from his heart. In the life-and-death struggle where every bit of effort was contested, the most unbearable thing was this kind of stupid arrogance suddenly encountered—Damn it, could Gao Feigong survive ten moves under the sword of the Grand Uncle-Master!

If the Grand Uncle-Master was enough to solve it, why the hell would they need you to come!

But he knew this was the result of an explosion of information suddenly exceeding expectations—when Magistrate Sui sent the letter, obviously the news of the Sect Master's death had not spread, and 【Sima】 and Yi Duanzhi had not suddenly appeared in Sword Belly Mountain.

Gan Zifeng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: ". Where is Terrace Master Zhang? There haven't been any major cases recently, and Magistrate Sui is here, why wouldn't he come!"

At the end of his words, the old man still didn't control his tone. Xiao Tingshu was crippled, Bai Tianqu had fallen, and the Five Peak Masters had fallen... Kongdong was already in chaos, and the people before him hadn't realized what was happening at all!

【Prison Fox】 Zhang Xiaozhu, one of the "Four Swords of the Northern Office" twenty years ago, now ranked forty-third on the Crane List—without such strong reinforcements, what was there to talk about stabilizing the situation!

"Terrace Master Zhang has other important matters." Xiao Changgong glanced at him. "If Elder Gan cannot properly hand over the situation, just change someone else to do the handover."

An old voice sounded from behind Gan Zifeng: "What important matters does Terrace Master Zhang have?"

Xiao Changgong raised his eyes to look. The person who came with his sword pressed was none other than Ji Changyun. The old man's blood-stained robe had not yet been changed, and his serious injuries were shocking, his brows and eyes sharp like swords.

Xiao Changgong bowed: "Mountain Master Ji. We also do not know—"

He hesitated and said: "When receiving the letter, the Terrace Master was in the terrace, but Magistrate Sui's letter seemed to be in two parts. After receiving the letter, the Terrace Master did not travel with us—by the way, Mountain Master, where is Magistrate Sui?"

". " Ji Changyun lowered his brows, his withered hand pressing on the sword hilt, and after a moment of silence, he raised his eyes and said, "Magistrate Sui was fighting with villains before, and there is no news for now. I fear he is in great danger."

Xiao Changgong opened his eyes in shock: "How could that be!"

But Ji Changyun didn't answer again. Without a word, he turned and left with his sword pressed.

Gan Zifeng took a deep breath, his cold eyes saying: "Kongdong is clearing the peaks. Inspector Xiao, go to the Law Enforcement Hall to understand the case."

He turned and left.

Xiao Changgong looked at the backs of the people leaving and turned to look in the direction where Ji Changyun had gone far away.

The expression of this Crane Inspector became very peaceful. He casually tore off a blade of grass and held it in his mouth: "Xunyuan—"

"Here."

"Take people to the Law Enforcement Hall. We will investigate however they say it happened."

—————

Cangshan cold rain.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while. He indeed hadn't considered this need for some time. A moment later, remembering that it was now mid-autumn, he thought he should be able to pick some tree fruits in the forest.

But as he walked out, he suddenly lowered his head, looked at the withered vines on the ground, and stopped his steps.

Right, isn't this Luo Peach?

Pei Ye remembered that this kind of fruit vine was not rare in Xincang. It withered once a year, the vine was hard, and as long as part of it was exposed to sunlight, it would grow a kind of crisp and sweet round fruit on the ground near the roots.

The ones in this cliff cave were presumably unpicked by anyone.

Pei Ye turned back inside. Under the woman's slightly surprised gaze, he smiled and disappeared straight into the darkness leading to the depths.

It wasn't as deep as he imagined. Pei Ye found a few vines nearby. Unfortunately, they were too close to the ground, and the fruits had been eaten by insects and ants. He walked more than ten feet further in before seeing an intact one. It was actually very difficult for it to spread to the sunlight at the cave entrance, but it still stubbornly bore fruits. Two round and cute white fruits hung on it, looking at a glance like the crispest and sweetest kind.

Pei Ye reached out to pick them, but his ears suddenly moved. It was the sound of clear water.

It came from the deeper part of the cave. The sound was "flowing in" rather than "falling," very light and slow, so that it couldn't be heard from a little further away.

Yes, if there was no water source, how could so many withered vines grow?

Chi Fire flew forward. Pei Ye didn't walk far before a clear, transparent water pool appeared before him.

It was only the size of a small courtyard, and the deepest part was only about a zhang. The stone surface, white sand, and gravel at the bottom of the pool were extremely clear.

A mountain spring seeped out from the stone wall and flowed into the pool, but the outlet of the flow was not known where it opened—perhaps in a place invisible in this mountain, a small spring would flow out from a rock crevice.
