Chapter 323.
The team stayed at the Mountain Monarch Temple for two days.
Although no one wanted to stay in this dangerous place infested with evil spirits, it was impossible to leave them behind after nine people were killed in the battle this time and dozens more were injured, several of the cultivators’ injuries were quite serious.
The defense array in the main hall was stimulated to its strongest state, but it was unable to bring everyone the slightest sense of security.
This kind of defense formation was unable to resist the invasion of evil spirits, otherwise there wouldn’t have been so many cultivators lured out of the main hall earlier, resulting in multiple people being sucked alive into dry corpses.
The team’s morale fell to the bottom.
Many people developed a hint of resentment towards the ferryman of the Mountain Turning Association.
With three thousand Purple Mansions and ten thousand Qi Practitioners, they had paid an expensive fee, and as a result, they had suffered back-to-back strikes all the way over, and not only did they lose troops, everyone was consuming a lot.
Pills, talismans, magic weapons ……
If the ferryman’s casualties weren’t also heavy, I’m afraid that someone would have jumped out and questioned it.
The mountain-breaking team then arrived under White Hair Peak in an eerie atmosphere.
The name of White Hair Peak was ordinary and even rather tacky, but this towering mountain was the last barrier leading to the Western Sea Spirit Region.
As long as one went over White Hair Peak, one would be able to enter the Western Sea Spirit Region!
“Fellow Daoists ……”
Cultivator Xu, who was leading the way, stopped advancing and said in a deep voice, “You guys can go over the White Hair Peak in front of you by yourselves, we can only accompany you all up to here.”
As soon as his words fell, the cultivators in the group exploded.
“Just up to here?”
“Is there any mistake ah, didn’t we say that we will only reach the Western Sea Spirit Region after going over the White Hair Peak?”
“Pi thou niang zhi, return the spirit stones!”
“Does your Mountain-Turning Association have any semblance of credit left?”
“I disagree!”
The grievances that everyone had built up in their hearts exploded violently at this moment.
Everyone glared at cultivator Xu, and the atmosphere was actually a bit tense!
“Eh?”
Cultivator Xu’s face sank, and his high-level Purple Mansion’s aura erupted abruptly, instantly suppressing all the dissenting voices.
“If you don’t want to submit, take out the Dharma Deed and take a look.”
He swept the crowd of cultivators with a stern gaze and said, “Sending it here is considered completing the contract.”
This Purple Mansion was in a very bad mood, so he didn’t show the slightest bit of resignation.
Five of the ten ferrymen had died in battle before and after, and it was undoubtedly a major loss for the Turning Mountain Association.
Such a loss could not be earned back by charging three hundred people for leading the way.
As the leader of the ferrymen, cultivator Xu would have a hard time explaining himself when he returned.
“How can that be!”
A Zifu immediately took out the legal deed from his storage bag, “It clearly states that it is until we arrive at the Western Sea Spiritual Domain!”
Cultivator Xu laughed coldly, “White Hair Peak belongs to the Western Sea Spiritual Domain, is there a problem with me sending you to the end here?”
White Hair Peak belongs to the Western Sea Spirit Region?
This clearly touched the blind spot of most people’s knowledge, and the cultivators couldn’t help but look at each other in disbelief.
One of the cultivators hesitated and said with a bitter smile, “Forget it.”
He really did know that cultivator Xu was right, White Hair Peak was indeed classified within the boundaries of the Western Sea Spirit Region.
This was directly related to the Jade Dragon Covenant made by the three great demon kings and the four great sect True Immortals back then.
So although cultivator Xu’s approach was not in line with common sense, it really didn’t violate the legal covenant.
“As the mountains are high, I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.”
Cultivator Xu arched his hand and said indifferently, “See you later!”
After saying that, he and a few other ferrymen turned around and embarked on their return journey.
Leaving behind a vote of relatively speechless cultivators.
“Cough!”
After a few moments, a cultivator coughed twice and said, “I’ll take the first step, see you later.”
Not knowing out of what kind of thoughts, this Purple Mansion looked like he was being whipped with a whip, putting the Mountain Suppressing Rhinoceros into his Spirit Beast Pouch as fast as he could, then unfolding his stance and swept away towards the mountain peaks in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a small dot.
Rats scattering from a sinking ship, with this one taking the lead, several more cultivators excused themselves and left.
The ferryman had just left, and this mountain-breaking team fell apart!
However, most of the cultivators didn’t scatter, they gathered in groups to discuss how to get over the treacherous mountain peak in front of them, which was as high as three thousand zhang.
Although the ferryman of the mountain-turning association was a bit of a pitfall, swinging everyone around in the last section of the road.
But cultivator Xu had previously told everyone about the White Hair Peak.
If you wanted to enter the Western Sea Spirit Region, you had to go over White Hair Peak, because other than this mountain, which was covered in snow and ice all year round, the rest of the area was all the territory of great demons or demon kings.
The ferryman led people through the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, choosing a route that bypassed the territories of these great demons and demon kings as much as possible.
Of course, everyone could also bypass White Hair Peak and take other routes.
Just bear the consequences.
The White Fur Peak also has a great danger, besides the ice and snow cold, there are also similar ice golems, snow demons and other demonic monsters on the peak.
Some cultivators were accustomed to being alone, and knowing that there was danger, they didn’t want to team up with others.
Therefore, they chose to leave alone.
Moreover, many cultivators knew that this final barrier was not that easy to break through, otherwise earlier, cultivator Xu would not have made a point of explaining the situation clearly.
There was strength in numbers, and they chose to embrace the group.
It was difficult to organize a large group with a lack of hearts, but a small gang was better than venturing out alone.
At least when facing danger, they could take care of and help each other.
A few Purple Mansion cultivators, plus a dozen or so high level Qi Practitioners, were considered a very good team.
There were more than two hundred cultivators, forming eleven teams in total.
However, there were also a few who were left behind.
Either no team was willing to take them in, or they didn’t take the initiative to join a team.
For example, Wang Chen and Li Yi An.
This made the two become an alternative existence!
“Fellow Daoist Li ……”
It was at this time that a young cultivator with peach blossom eyes walked over and said to Li Yi’an with a smile, “Our team is still missing a Purple Mansion, you are welcome to join in.”
In fact, his team had a total of five Violet Mansions and more than twenty Qi Practicing Cultivators, so it really wasn’t short of Li Yi’an.
However, the young cultivator’s eyes were dripping and his intentions were very obvious.
This fellow had long had his eyes on Li Yi An.
“Unless one is a Jindan cultivator, it’s impossible for one or two people to go over White Hair Peak!”
He “kindly” reminded, “The ones walking in front will definitely regret it.”
“Thanks.”
Li Yi’an replied indifferently, “I want to try it myself.”
She held Wang Chen’s hand.
The corner of the young cultivator’s eyes twitched, and with a cold snort he twisted his head and left.
Soon one team after another left, heading towards the treacherous White Fur Peak.
Even those cultivators who didn’t have a team to take them in formed their own teams to break through.
They also tried to invite Wang Dust and the two of them, only to be rejected as well.
In the end, the ones who stayed put were Wang Chen and Li Yi An.
