Chapter 21: Senior Xia's Chess Game

"It seems that Senior Xia didn't take Blood Fiend Tower seriously from the beginning and was waiting for the Blood Lord to be reborn," Liu Qingbai said with a frown.

"This news is important, and it seems to be beyond our ability to handle. We should inform Senior Xia of the situation as soon as possible," Gu Tianxing analyzed.

Senior Xia?

Listening to Gu Tianxing and Liu Qingbai repeatedly mentioning Senior Xia, Canglan Mingyue couldn't help but be surprised. The existence behind Sacred Fire Gate is actually surnamed Xia?

However, she seemed to remember that in the Heaven and Earth World, there was no Supreme with the surname Xia.

Thinking of this, Canglan Mingyue became even more curious about Senior Xia mentioned by Gu Tianxing and the others.

She couldn't help but say, "Gu Elder, may I accompany you and perhaps provide more information to that senior?"

"Hmm...?"

Hearing this, Gu Tianxing and his brother pondered for a moment.

"Elder, Grandfather, let Princess Mingyue accompany us. If she has more favorable information, I don't think Senior Xia would mind," Liu Rushuang said calmly.

Although she didn't know the position of the Blood Lord in the senior's heart, she still hoped that they could bring some valuable information to Senior Xia. It wouldn't be in vain for the senior to treat them so well.

"Alright."

Gu Tianxing didn't make a fuss and simply nodded. After that, they set off.

Half an hour later.

Four figures landed at the entrance of the Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains.

"So, this is the senior's place of seclusion?" Canglan Mingyue's face showed a hint of surprise as they entered the mountains.

In fact, she was somewhat surprised to come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

After all, this mountain range was too involved and mysterious.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, also known as the Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains, were not easily ventured into.

But as one of the few super Heaven Level forces with knowledge, Canglan Mingyue was aware of many secrets of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

For example, the Hundred Thousand Mountains were not just ten thousand mountains. The outskirts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains were almost the same as ordinary mountain ranges, not as terrifying as rumored.

However, if one went deeper, it would be different.

It was said that within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there were not only the Celestial Beast mountain range where the Monster Race fierce beasts resided, but also many unknown places accompanied by opportunities and horrors in the Heaven and Earth World.

Such as the Burial Immortal Peak, the God-slaying Cave, the Abyss of Howling Ghosts, and the Valley of Eternal Darkness...

Among them, the most dangerous was the Ancient Wilderness Forbidden Zone!

That was the true origin of the Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains.

But at this moment, as they entered the mountain pass, Canglan Mingyue remained calm. She seemed to know that this should be one of the outermost mountains of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Even though there were only a few clouds on the mountain, it could be seen that this mountain was nothing special.

That's what Canglan Mingyue thought.

But Gu Tianxing and the others didn't think so.

Compared to Canglan Mingyue, they seemed to have realized that the Forbidden Mountains recognized them, as many killing formations automatically hid themselves.

Not only that, the map that Senior Wu had stored in their minds not long ago seemed to have taught them how to enter the mountain.

The most convenient route on the map was to go straight up from Yellow Mud Village.

So without saying a word, the three of them returned to Yellow Mud Village.

Standing at the entrance of Yellow Mud Village.

"Princess Mingyue, regarding the matter of meeting the senior, I have some advice to give you beforehand!" Gu Tianxing continued, "The Senior Xia we are about to meet is a hidden expert who resides in these mountains. Although he usually enjoys mingling with ordinary people, he should be aware of everything happening outside!"

Gu Tianxing emphasized, "Therefore, I hope that when Princess Mingyue meets the senior with us later, she will be mindful of her words and actions, so as not to displease the senior."

Listening to Gu Tianxing's words, Canglan Mingyue nodded. Even though she felt that everything in front of her was somewhat strange, seeing Gu Tianxing's serious and cautious demeanor, she suppressed any frivolous thoughts.

The four of them walked into the village. From time to time, they saw a familiar woman.

"Auntie, we meet again!" Gu Tianxing waved to Aunt Zhu.

Aunt Zhu, who was chatting with a few other women and men, was suddenly startled. "Why are these two crazy old men here again? And they've brought another young girl with them, causing trouble!"

She complained and didn't dare to greet Gu Tianxing and the others. She just hurriedly ran away with her plump body.

"Cough, cough..." Seeing this, Gu Tianxing coughed awkwardly.

"Senior brother, it seems like you scared her quite a bit last time!" Liu Qingbai waved his hand.

At this moment, Zhao, an old man who had just finished work with a hoe, saw the three of them and greeted them, "Hello, brothers. Why are you here again?"

"We've come to visit Senior Xia."

"Looking for Xiao Xia, huh? He just finished teaching the children, so he's probably at home now," Zhao said with a smile.

He guessed that these two old guys were probably looking for Xiao Xia to teach them how to make bricks and build houses. They kept calling him "senior," but they were polite enough.

He just didn't understand what was going on with Zhu Cuihua and her family. They would run away whenever they saw someone, as if they were afraid of being scolded.

"You should go quickly." Zhao didn't ask too many questions and greeted them.

Upon hearing Zhao's words, Gu Tianxing and the others exchanged pleasantries and walked straight into the village.

"That old man seems... a bit strange, doesn't he?" Walking along the road, Canglan Mingyue turned her head a few times, occasionally glancing at the hoe in Zhao's hand. She seemed to feel a palpable sense of unease from it.

It was as if that ordinary hoe could harm her.

Not only that, after walking for a while, the three of them entered the inner village.

Bang! Canglan Mingyue accidentally kicked a half-brick, hurting her foot.

"What kind of brick is this?!" Canglan Mingyue bent down and picked up the small piece of brick, saying, "This brick seems to have the aura of extraordinary fire and celestial gold. It's unexpectedly so hard!"

She exerted all her cultivation power and tried to move it, but it didn't budge at all.

"It's indeed not an ordinary brick!" Canglan Mingyue's eyes were slightly shocked as she put the brick into her storage ring.

Gu Tianxing and the others saw this, but their expressions remained calm.

There was a time when they were just like Canglan Mingyue, shocked and amazed when they first came here. Even the village women were annoyed by them.

But now, seeing Canglan Mingyue acting like a country bumpkin entering the city, their hearts seemed to be more balanced.

It was as if even a super Heaven Level force like the Vast Tide Kingdom couldn't remain calm when faced with the small gestures of blessing from the ordinary people in Senior Xia's Forbidden Mountain.

Seeing this scene, the three of them felt an even deeper reverence for Xia Fan.

"What kind of mansion is this, made entirely of extraordinary bricks? This gesture seems a bit excessive!"
