Di Yang narrowed his eyes, staring directly at the mountain before him.
This mountain actually possessed such strong spiritual energy fluctuations!
This was no ordinary mountain!
"Hmph, you juniors are truly rude and overbearing! A thousand years have passed, and you youngsters have made no progress. If this gets out, it will only tarnish the reputation of the Jinling Sects."
Grandpa Dashan spoke, his muffled voice like a drum, echoing through the forest again and again.
The forest also stopped shaking at this moment.
The cultivators could hear the voice but saw no one.
The cultivators with lower cultivation could not sense the mountain's spiritual energy fluctuations at all.
Feng Qingcheng snorted softly, "I thought the First Sect had no one left, but it seems there is. We don't wish to be enemies with the First Sect. We are here to find someone today. As long as the First Sect hands over the person, we will not linger."
"Oh?"
Grandpa Dashan let out a cold laugh, and the muffled male voice sounded again, "Ignorant juniors, you are truly arrogant."
Feng Qingcheng was about to speak further when a powerful surge of spiritual energy was violently thrown towards her.
Her body was violently thrown to the ground.
It felt as if someone had struck her chest, and she felt a suffocating tightness, a mouthful of blood spraying onto her veil.
Baili Yang could not bear to see his beloved suffer such injustice!
He rushed to Feng Qingcheng's side, quickly helping her up, "Qingcheng, are you alright?"
Feng Qingcheng clutched her aching chest, gritted her teeth, and stood up, her beautiful eyes clouded with anger, "Who is playing tricks from the shadows? Come out at once!"
Grandpa Dashan ignored Feng Qingcheng, and the muffled male voice slowly descended, "Pidan, it's time to go home."
As if finding his backbone, the child abruptly wiped the tears from his eyes and ran with all his might towards where the mountain was. "Wuwu... Grandpa Shan, I'm coming... I want to go home, wuwu..."
"Grandpa Shan?"
Mei Honghou subconsciously repeated what the child had said, his gaze occasionally shifting towards the mountain.
As if realizing something, his eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be... this mountain..."
Mei Ziling, who was closest to him, looked up slightly in confusion, her soft female voice asking, "Daddy, what are you talking about?"
Mei Honghou's gaze was locked on the mountain before him, and he did not rush to explain.
Seeing the child running forward, Feng Qingcheng's heart grew anxious, and she wanted to get up and follow.
As the child ran, his figure actually disappeared directly into the mountain.
"This..."
Feng Qingcheng's body froze in place, her eyes filled with a hint of astonishment, "What is going on?"
The person had vanished in plain sight?
A smile appeared on Baili Yang's face, his eyes shining with brilliance, "I knew the First Sect was here, I didn't lead us the wrong way!"
Tang Zun narrowed his eyes and came to Feng Qingcheng's side, moving his lips to speak softly, "Qingcheng, the one who spoke just now was this mountain itself."
A mountain that could speak and possess such powerful spiritual energy had already developed sentience.
Feng Qingcheng instinctively tightened her grip on her dagger, her beautiful eyes veiled with malevolence, "Master, this mountain is not to be underestimated. With it here, we won't be able to enter the First Sect. What should we do next?"
Tang Zun's face was filled with thought. He said in a deep voice, "Qingcheng, don't worry, the mountain isn't going anywhere. If all else fails, we'll set the mountain on fire. Ordinary fires won't harm this mountain, and even if we can't enter the Immortal Sect for a while, we can still give them a headache."
Tang Zun's words also significantly eased Feng Qingcheng's uneasy heart.
She raised a bright smile, looking at Tang Zun with eyes full of trust, "Master, I believe you."
The commotion caused by a group of outsiders at the First Sect quickly spread throughout the sect.
Feng Yi's delicate face was filled with displeasure. She bit her lip fiercely and said indignantly, "Master, our First Sect has been in seclusion for many years, but that doesn't mean we can be bullied. Now that they've come to our doorstep, I'll go and let them taste how hard my fists are!"
Before she could turn to leave, she was stopped by Gong Yiyuan.
Gong Yiyuan gently shook his head at her, "These people are here for Ninghe. You should inform her first, and let the Ying Guards go and see the situation."
Feng Yi nodded heavily, indicating understanding, "Master, I'll go now!"
Gu Erwei said without hesitation, "Master, I'll go with my elder brother to see what tricks they are trying to play."
"Me too, I'm going!"
Gu Sanwei quickly chimed in, his face resolute, "If they dare to charge forward, I'll crush their heads and show them that the First Sect is not to be trifled with!"
The First Sect had been in seclusion for many years because they were tired and did not want to participate in worldly affairs.
The inherent passion in the hearts of the First Sect disciples had not been extinguished by the passage of time.
Gong Yiyuan smiled and gently waved his hand, "You don't need to rush to the front. You can observe the situation from the shadows."
Gu Sanwei subconsciously reached up and gently stroked his chin, "I've already heard about our junior sister's affairs. In all of Jinling, no one doesn't recognize her when her name is mentioned."
Feng Ninghe's matters could be easily investigated if one was determined.
Throughout Jinling, everyone believed Feng Ninghe to be a heinous demoness who deserved to be executed.
However, the people of the First Sect knew clearly that their junior sister was being framed.
Gu Erwei furrowed his brows, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes, "Let's go, we need to quickly see what these people want..."
The Scripture Repository.
Feng Yi arrived in a hurry.
"What happened?"
Feng Xing put down the book in his hand and turned to look at Feng Yi, who had entered the Scripture Repository.
Feng Yi's delicate face was filled with urgency, her eyes darting around as if searching for something, "Where is junior sister? A large group of people have come to the sect to cause trouble for her, shouting that whoever kills must pay with their life."
Bai Niannian's delicate eyebrows immediately knitted together, and she quickly leaned over, "A life for a life? Could it be that group of damned people from the Immortal Sect are here to cause trouble again?"
Mentioning the Immortal Sect, Bai Niannian and Feng Xing involuntarily became angry.
They had no good feelings towards the Immortal Sect.
Especially Feng Qingcheng.
In response to the question, Feng Yi gently shook her head, "I didn't see it myself, so I don't know who is causing trouble at the entrance. I only heard that a large group of people are looking for junior sister, and they almost took the lives of the weak children within the sect."
Feng Xing's gaze deepened, and a few rays of light shot out from his eyes. He clenched his fist tightly, "It must be Feng Qingcheng causing trouble."
Without hesitation, he suspected Feng Qingcheng.
Besides this woman, who else could be so cruel-hearted as to almost take the life of a child?
Bai Niannian quickly looked around.
There were only them in the Scripture Repository, and Feng Ninghe was nowhere to be seen.
Bai Niannian specifically looked around, searching for Feng Ninghe.
"Master! Where are you?"
She called out, but there was no response.
