"Hmm." Yan Nantian nodded, "As your master, I understand your intentions, so I didn’t stop you from the beginning. I know you were waiting for to speak. I naturally won’t hold you back." The path of Immortal Cultivation is about pursuing one’s true nature. If one’s true nature is bound, the path will also be limited. If you act with fear and hesitation, it shows your Daoist heart is not firm enough. Without a steadfast Daoist heart, you won’t be able to go far on the journey of immortal cultivation."
"So today, your actions seem arrogant and reckless, yet they also reflect your true nature. I’m pleased with how you’ve expressed this. Rules are dead, people are alive. If you lack the courage to break the rules, how can you embark on the path to seek immortality?"
"The path of seeking immortality is a defiance of the heavens, and only extraordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things."
"Therefore, at any ti, adhering to one’s true nature is the most important. The strength of your Daoist heart determines how far you can go."
Tangyu nodded, "I have learned, Master. I will definitely rember your words."
Yan Nantian said, "Alright, you can go back now."
Tangyu said, "Master, I also ca to bid farewell. I plan to go out for so training, and this ti, I intend to prepare for a longer duration."
Yan Nantian nodded, "Yes, go ahead. With your current strength, it’s definitely ti for you to train outside for a while. Only by training will you grow faster; staying in the sect will only restrain yourself."
Tangyu said, "Master, I’m not familiar with this place. Although I plan to train outside, I haven’t thought of a good destination yet. Do you have any recomndations for ?"
Yan Nantian thought for a mont, moved his hand, and a map appeared. He drew a few circles on it and then said, "This map is a detailed map of the northern third of the Liang Kingdom, along with so border areas. It includes five dangerous locations, all relatively perilous. But for your training, they are quite suitable. Among these five dangerous places, the Moluo River is the closest to our Yanshan Sect and is considered one of the safer ones among them."
"The most perilous one is the Mystic Lan Realm. Even Golden Core cultivators find it extrely dangerous, so don’t enter lightly."
With the map in hand, Tangyu looked at the five dangerous places and said, "Alright, Master, I understand. I’ll first take a look at Moluo River, and I’ll be careful."
"Hmm, then go ahead. This ti, during your training, there will surely be many unknown dangers. I’ll give you a talisman I’ve personally crafted. This talisman contains the power equivalent to my full strength, but can only be used once. When you use this talisman, I’ll know you’re in danger and will rush to save you as fast as possible. However, this is only for one use. Rember, unless absolutely necessary, do not use it." Yan Nantian said solemnly.
Seeing the talisman in his master’s hand, Tangyu felt touched, received the talisman, and nodded heavily, "Thank you, Master. I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Tangyu departed.
Returning to Bright Moon Peak, Zhuang Qian and Zi Cang had been waiting there for a long ti.
"Haha, Brother Tangyu is back. I knew nothing would happen to you. Today’s battle was executed beautifully." Zhuang Qian said.
Tangyu curled his lips, "Don’t belittle , it’s rely about asserting power. Zhuang Qian, big brother, I’m about to leave. I’ll entrust you with taking care of everything here."
Zhuang Qian and Zi Cang readily agreed.
Tangyu called Luo Xiaobing and others over, gave them instructions, and then left with Qi Xingtian.
In a hall on a peak in Yanshan Sect, Yu Jun and Yu Min sat sullenly with anger on their faces. In front of them stood several young n, all with their heads lowered, looking like they had done sothing wrong.
Yu Jun suddenly slapped the table, angrily pointing at the young n and cursed, "Foolishness, sheer foolishness! Are you all brainless? Wouldn’t you consider the consequences before acting? Did Yao Jiguang buy you with a drink to use you like pigs? Our Yu Family had no grievances with Tangyu, but because of you, you’ve caused this enmity, even getting Yu Fei killed. Do you know how foolish you are? I swear I’d kill you if I could."
The young n lowered their heads even more; this incident was their foolish mistake, having been used.
Yu Min was uncontrollably furious as he gritted his teeth, "Big brother, that Yao Jiguang is incredibly treacherous. He dared to use our Yu Family. Due to him, Yu Fei is dead, and he has caused enmity between the Yu Family and Tangyu. This guy is a madman. If he grows stronger, he might co against the Yu Family. Our family’s future may be destroyed by his hands. We can’t let this matter go easily; without killing Yao Jiguang, my anger won’t be appeased."
"Hmph, Yao Jiguang, we’ll definitely kill him. And his family can’t be spared either." Yu Jun’s eyes showed a sinister look filled with murderous intent.
-----
After leaving Yanshan Sect, Tangyu and Qi Xingtian headed straight towards Moluo River.
Tangyu asked, "Do you know about Moluo River, Qi Senior?"
Qi Xingtian shook his head, "I’m not from the Liang Kingdom, so I’m unfamiliar with this place."
"Oh, you’re not from the Liang Kingdom." Tangyu realized it would be unlikely to get any information from him. The map only offered limited geographic understanding.
The Moluo River was thousands of miles away from Yanshan Sect, but Tangyu and Qi Xingtian didn’t rush, taking their ti traveling leisurely. Sotis, they even stopped to enjoy themselves.
Passing through a city, they would also stop for a al, taking in the local customs and culture.
At dusk one day, Tangyu and another person passed through a small town called Qing Feng Town, intending to stop for a al and drink, as they had been traveling the entire day.
As soon as they sat down in the inn, before the drinks were even served, they heard a flurry of lively discussions around them.
"Have you heard? The eldest son of the Lei Family, Lei Ming, organized a group saying that at dusk today, they’re going to the back mountains by Yi River to slay the Demon Dragon."
"Indeed, I’ve heard it. This news has already spread like wildfire in Qing Feng Town, and everyone is discussing it. Young Master Lei Ming is quite a genius, in his early twenties, he has already reached the Mystic Law Realm. And it is said that this ti, young masters from two other families have joined him in response, totaling four Mystic Law Realm cultivators and over a hundred Fundantal Realm experts, so even at the peak stage, to hunt down the Demon Dragon. Many people are waiting to follow and watch the show."
"Yes, Young Master Lei Ming is indeed a genius and very brave, daring to organize people to kill the Demon Dragon, which is indeed a blessing for everyone."
"The Demon Dragon by Yi River has indeed beco too arrogant, wreaking havoc for several months. The number of people it has devoured is at least several hundred. In its madness, it has even slaughtered entire villages. Such a malicious Demon Dragon should have been slain long ago."
"Here, the mountains are high and the Emperor is far, the Sunset Sect can’t reach us. We can only hope that this ti Young Master Lei Ming will perform great feats and slay the Demon Dragon."
"How easy is it to slay a Demon Dragon, though? I think it’s a bit dubious."
Qing Feng Town is within the territory of the Sunset Sect.
The town is only two or three thousand miles away from the Moluo River.
Listening to these discussions, Tangyu beca sowhat intrigued as well, surprised to hear about such a malicious Demon Dragon.
Soon, the waiter ca over with the drinks and dishes and said, "Here you are, please enjoy your al."
As the waiter was leaving, Tangyu called him back, "Waiter, I heard everyone talking about the Demon Dragon, what’s the story?"
The waiter glanced at the two of them and said, "You must be from out of town; the Demon Dragon issue has been causing trouble for months, resulting in the deaths of several hundred people. It’s said that Young Master Lei Ming is organizing people to hunt it down. However, this is very dangerous, and I would advise you not to get involved."
"Oh, I see." Tangyu nodded, and the waiter then left.
Tangyu said, "Senior Qi, let’s drink, and after we’re done, we can join the fun."
Qi Xingtian casually drank his wine and remarked, "You have quite a sense of justice, don’t you."
Tangyu sneered and said, "I wouldn’t call it a sense of justice. Cultivating the path of immortality is about following one’s heart, doing what pleases you. If I like it, I’ll get involved; if not, I’ll walk away. The life and death of others has nothing to do with . But this ti, I want to join the fun. If I’m happy, I might just raise my hand and slay that Demon Dragon. If not, I might turn around and leave imdiately. Of course, karma and rit exist in this world. Doing more good deeds never hurts."
"Maybe the Demon Dragon’s strength is good enough to give practice."
Qi Xingtian said nothing, and the two continued to drink and eat.
Sure enough, once they finished, they heard noises outside, and saw a crowd moving toward town outskirts. Leading them were four well-dressed young n, each looking elegant and extraordinary. These four must be the four Mystic Law Realm young masters people ntioned, including Lei Ming.
Behind these four was a crowd of over a hundred people, each carrying a bow and arrow, clearly intending to shoot from a distance rather than fight the Demon Dragon up close.
Following behind, were many onlookers.
"They’re coming, let’s go, let’s go."
"Let’s join the excitent."
As the group arrived, everyone in the inn hastily settled their bills and went outside to join the crowd.
Tangyu also tossed so Lower Grade Pure Yang Stones on the table and, alongside Qi Xingtian, went outside to rge into the crowd. To the unknowing, they rely appeared as two spectators joining the fun, easily overlooked.
The large crowd grandly left Qing Feng Town and headed toward Yi River in the back mountains. Yi River stretched from the back mountains directly to Qing Feng Town, forming a rather long river, where the Demon Dragon usually hid in the deepest areas of the river.
The imnse gathering brimd with a lively spirit, with people making grandiose remarks, as if once they went, the Demon Dragon would imdiately be sliced into eight pieces.
