Chapter 53: First Time Leaving the Sect!

The Longevity Physique wanted to leave the Sect, and no one could stop him. However, with the Divine Pine protecting the Dao, the Elders were quite at ease regarding Lin Jing’s safety.

Elder Mo brought the information collected by the Sect regarding this mission and handed it to Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Squirrel, who were packing their things.

“Snow Moon City has already been locked down, so that demonic Cultivator should still be inside the city.”

“I suggest not making a big fuss for now,” Lin Jing said while taking the intelligence. “If the Cultivators from the Sect’s Enforcement Hall and the Elders from within the Sect were to swarm in, it would easily startle the snake, causing the demonic Cultivator to hide and stop acting. It would be better for this Disciple to go alone.”

“The Sect only needs to secretly guard Snow Moon City and not let a single person leave!”

“How do you plan to investigate?” Elder Mo asked.

“There were several Inner Sect Disciples who went to Snow Moon City to investigate the ‘missing Spirit Beasts,’ but only Senior Brother Ouyang met with misfortune. Just as the Elder said, he must have discovered some clues. I want to start by investigating his activity trajectory in Snow Moon City,” Lin Jing said. “Of course, just doing this will certainly make it hard to gain any results. Now, I can only pin my hopes on the Divine Ability of Senior Divine Pine.”

“With his cultivation Realm, if he discovers any clues, he will certainly be able to detect them immediately.”

Lin Jing started flipping through the intelligence. According to the letter from the Beast Valley in Snow Moon City, after Senior Brother Ouyang arrived in Snow Moon City, he only went to three places.

1. The City Lord’s Mansion.

2. The Beast Valley.

3. The Lotus Pavilion.

Senior Brother Ouyang went to the City Lord’s Mansion to understand more information about the missing Spirit Beasts in Snow Moon City. Besides the mission issued by the Beast Taming Sect’s Inner Sect, the Snow Moon City Lord’s Mansion had also issued a reward.

It is said that the Snow Moon City Lord somehow learned that Ouyang Hao was deeply favored by the Beast Taming Sect Master and was expected to become the Sect Master’s True Disciple, so he personally received Ouyang Hao.

“Snow Moon City Lord Tang Qinghan, Golden Core Early Stage, Acquired Ice Spirit Body, Cultivates the ‘Heavenly Frost Cold Soul Technique,’ has served as the Snow Moon City Lord for sixty years. The Tang family is deeply rooted in Snow Moon City and dominates it, but they have a very good reputation and are deeply loved by the common people.”

Lin Jing continued reading. The Beast Valley is an industry of the Beast Taming Sect itself, raising many Snow Rabbits with delicious meat. They are raised by the Beast Taming Sect using special secret techniques and are bestsellers throughout the Great Wilderness Region. It is one of the main sources of income for the Beast Taming Sect. The “missing Spirit Beast” investigation mission that Senior Brother Ouyang was executing originated from the news of the missing Snow Rabbits reported here.

“Beast Valley Master He Xu, Foundation Establishment Late Stage, the third Disciple of Elder Jiang, proficient in the way of raising Pet Beasts.”

The Lotus Pavilion is the largest chamber of commerce spread throughout the entire Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom. Its business even extends beyond the Ancient Kingdom to Qingzhou and Martial Emperor City. The Lotus Pavilion in Snow Moon City is just a very small branch. According to the investigation, Senior Brother Ouyang only went to the Lotus Pavilion to purchase some Medicinal Pills to nourish Yang Qi. Because he had the City Lord’s recommendation, he also received a warm reception from the Lotus Pavilion Master.

“Snow Moon City Lotus Pavilion Master Hua Qiandao, Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Acquired Fire Spirit Body, Cultivates the ‘Fire Lotus True Scripture,’ has served as the Lotus Pavilion Master of this city for ten years.”

The best-selling items of the Lotus Chamber of Commerce are none other than Medicinal Pills.

“These three are the people with the highest cultivation that Senior Brother Ouyang came into contact with after arriving in Snow Moon City. Let’s exclude Valley Master He first… As for this Snow Moon City Lord and Hua Qiandao, given their strength and status, it is estimated that they would not engage in such sneak-thief activities. It seems Senior Brother Ouyang still had activity trajectories that have not been discovered,” Lin Jing pondered slightly.

“The intelligence is indeed insufficient,” Elder Mo sighed.

“It’s fine,” Lin Jing said. “This Disciple has a backup plan. I will use Thousand Transformations to turn into a Snow Rabbit, move into the Beast Valley, and turn into various rare ice and snow Spirit Beasts to wander around. Since the culprit likes ice and snow beasts, I will turn into an ice and snow beast and use myself as bait.”

Elder Mo was speechless: “…”

This is your real plan, right???

Wait for the culprit to appear, then let the Divine Pine make a move!

…

Although Lin Jing had planned to go to Snow Moon City alone, the Sect could not be completely unprepared. To make Lin Jing’s travel speed faster, the Sect prepared a Sky Feather Crane for him and the Pine Leaf Squirrel to ensure he could arrive in Snow Moon City within half a day. As for the Divine Pine, he would only guard Lin Jing from the shadows.

“What a big… order.” This crane was also a guy Lin Jing was very familiar with; it was that very crane with a unique accent that delivered various resources throughout the Sect. It actually had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Lin Jing put away the Pine Leaf Squirrel, sat cross-legged on the crane, and nodded at Elder Mo, who was seeing him off.

“Return safely,” Elder Mo said. “Ouyang Hao and the others are currently being looked after by Elder Shen.”

“Let’s go. Please, send me to Snow Moon City as quickly as possible.” Lin Jing took a deep breath, looked at the clouds and mist in the distance, and said softly. This was his first time leaving the Sect!

“You got it!!!” the crane shouted, instantly flapping its wings to fly high, entering the clouds at an extremely fast speed. Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the crane’s back, closed his eyes, and began to Cultivate.

The crane flew faster and faster, and Lin Jing felt his body getting colder.

The Great Wilderness Region borders the Snowfield, and several cities are affected by the Snowfield, with snow all year round.

Snow Moon City is one of them.

This incident in Snow Moon City, besides possibly being the work of a demonic Cultivator, could also be a Snowfield cultivator…

“Oh my.” Suddenly, the Sky Feather Crane exclaimed, causing Lin Jing to open his eyes and ask, “What’s wrong, Brother Crane?”

“Just now, some guy flew past me, and they were super fast!”

“So what?” Lin Jing asked.

“You want to overtake them?”

“You really understand me.” After the Sky Feather Crane finished speaking, it burst into even faster speed, making Lin Jing’s lips tremble. Soon, a black dot appeared before Lin Jing’s eyes. It was a… white foal with Dragon horns, galloping hard through the sea of clouds.

And on its back lay a young man in black, fast asleep.

“At such a high speed, how can he fall asleep?” Seeing this, Lin Jing found it quite unbelievable.

As the crane caught up, the white horse glanced at the Sky Feather Crane and silently increased its speed. The Sky Feather Crane was not to be outdone. With one horse and one crane flying desperately like this, the violent turbulence finally woke the young man in black on the white horse, who vomited downward from the cloud peak.

“Ugh…”

After he finished his “celestial offering,” he looked around in confusion and looked at the crane flying nearby, as well as Lin Jing on the crane.

“Brother, where are you going? Why are you flying so urgently?”

Lin Jing said, “You guys are the ones who are more urgent.”

Hearing this, the young man in black said, “Indeed, I am indeed in a hurry.”

“I am Gao Sheng from the Demon Subduing Division. I heard that there is a suspected demon haunting Snow Moon City, so I have come to investigate.

If I arrive even a moment late, more innocent commoners and Cultivators may be harmed, so I have to be urgent.”

Lin Jing said, “Since when can a ninth-level Qi Refining stage Cultivator be a Demon Subduing Guard?”

He looked at the Foundation Establishment white horse mount beneath the other party. Which family’s second-generation immortal is this, coming here to experience life? Lin Jing looked greedily at the other party’s “White Dragon Horse.”
