A few days later, the flying vessel that Ye Liuyun and the others were riding on was suddenly stopped by a group of soldiers from the Southern Elephant Empire.
"Where are you going?" asked the soldier.
"The Sunset Mountains," Guo Da replied.
"The Sunset Mountains has been sealed recently. Co back in half a year again." The soldier wanted them to head straight back.
"What happened?" Guo Da asked the soldier curiously.
"The Ninth Prince is here to hunt and explore. No irrelevant people are allowed to enter! I'm doing this for your own good, in case you'll be treated as prey!" The soldier waved his hand at them, telling them to leave as soon as possible.
Guo Da had no choice but to ride the flying boat and pretend to leave.
After the flying vessel had gone far away, ng Changxing started to curse again.
"Luo Tianming, you little bastard, you think that the whole country is their garden! Sealing it whenever you want!"
"He can seal it. We'll just go in ourselves! There's nothing to it!" Ye Liuyun said indifferently.
"That's right! The Sunset Mountain is so big, it's impossible for him to seal the whole place." Luo Yun also said.
Guo Da changed his direction, but he was still stopped by the soldiers who had set up the block.
"Let's go by foot! The flying vessel is too obvious in the air. We won't be able to get through when they set up blocks everywhere!" Guo Da suggested.
So they gave up the flying vessel and walked instead. They went to a nearby town to inquire about sothing.
This small town was called Sunset Town, which was the nearest supply station to the Sunset Mountains.
Ye Liuyun and the others wanted to find a restaurant to gather information and have another al.
Unexpectedly, they found several restaurants, which were full of people. In the end, they could only find a small tavern to eat.
When he was ordering, Ye Liuyun asked the waiter, "Why are there so many people here?"
"It was all because of the mountains being sealed! Normally, there wouldn't be so many people in the town. They were all martial practitioners who were going on an adventure but were stopped here, so now they're waiting to enter the mountains!" The waiter said.
When Ye Liuyun and the others ate, they also heard that these people were indeed martial practitioners who were stuck here.
Most people ca from thousands of miles away and were unwilling to return empty-handed. Therefore, they were all studying the route into the mountains to avoid the patrol of the soldiers.
"Have you heard? It is said that the Comrce Departnt sells maps of the Sunset Mountains that provides marked routes to avoid the blockades."
"I've already got the map. Just follow then!"
Ye Liuyun had heard many martial arts cultivators talking about the map.
"Let's go check on the Comrce Departnt after dinner. No matter if there's a route, it's not bad to get the overall map of the Sunset Mountains!" Ye Liuyun said.
"Is there really a way to avoid the blockades on the map?" Luo Yun asked curiously.
"I don't think there is much hope! If there is really such a route, how can it be spread so quickly!" Guo Da analyzed.
"That's right. I don't think it's very credible either!" Ye Liuyun added.
There were too many people in the tavern and it was very noisy. After Ye Liuyun and the others finished their al in a hurry, they imdiately rushed to the Comrce Departnt to buy the map.
"Do you want ordinary maps or the marked ones to avoid the blockade?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Ye Liuyun felt that this fellow was hiding sothing in his smile.
"What's the price?" he asked casually.
"An ordinary map costs ten spiritual stone. The marked maps need five hundred Spirit Stones!"
"Your business is really good! You can sell it for five hundred Spirit Stones just by drawing lines!" ng Changxing said sarcastically.
The shopkeeper was not angry. He continued to smile and said, "Soone has already used our map to avoid the blockade of the mountains!"
"Let's have one of each versions !" Ye Liuyun said as he handed over the spirit stones.
He was worried that ng Changxing would say sothing nasty to drive the shopkeeper into a corner, so he would not sell them.
"Alright!" The shopkeeper chuckled as he took out two maps and handed them to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun looked at the two maps and could not help but be a little surprised.
These two maps were actually the sa. However, there was an additional red line marked on one of the maps. There were even red words that marked the ti that the guards would switch stations on the red lines, and even details on how to pass through.
"If the shopkeeper didn't have soone inside to get information, he wouldn't have been able to obtain such information!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself. He also felt that this map might really allow people to enter the Sunset Mountains.
After they ca out of the Comrce Departnt, Ye Liuyun handed the map to everyone and asked them to write it down.
After reading it, everyone guessed that the shopkeeper had a way to get information about the soldiers' schedules.
"Then let's try this route," Ye Liuyun added.
Then, Ye Liuyun and the others left the town and found a place to roast the at.
They calculated the distance and ti. It was still too early to set off. It was better to eat first.
There were too many people in the town, so they really had no place to stay. It was better to go outside the town to roast at.
When they were almost finished, they also found that there were teams of martial practitioners outside the city one after another, rushing to the Sunset Mountains.
"There are so many people, but if they all take the sa route. Won't they be exposed?" Guo Da asked suspiciously.
Ye Liuyun also felt that it was strange. Even if those soldiers were puppets, they would always find so clues! How could so many people go through!
"Let's go and take a look! No matter what, we won't leave today. Let's observe it for a night!" Ye Liuyun said to everyone.
Hence, Ye Liuyun and the others also set off and followed behind those martial practitioners.
Other martial practitioners also thought that they were just going to explore, so no one paid attention to them. Only when they saw Arya, would soone look at them a little more.
There were even people who invited Ye Liuyun to form a team, but they were all rejected by Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun felt even stranger when he saw that so many martial practitioners were not discovered by the soldiers.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the Sunset Mountains, Ye Liuyun took everyone to hide. Instead, he used his Divine Sense to observe the progress of those martial practitioners.
Those martial practitioners were carefully moving through the dense forest according to the route on the map. They didn't encounter any soldiers.
Then when it was ti to change shifts, and those soldiers retreated first.
During this period of ti, those martial practitioners also rushed up and passed through the blockades. Soon after, another team of soldiers ca over to stand guard again.
Everything seed to be fine.
However, Ye Liuyun discovered sothing.
Ye Liuyun sent a voice transmission to Guo Da. "Have you noticed that there are nearly a thousand soldiers here, but most of them are defending the inside rather than the outside."
