Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan already understood what was going on.
This was an order specifically targeting him.
It seed that what happened in the Shengtian Secret Realm that day was, more or less, known to the True Words Sect.
After all, there were still a few who managed to escape from that Secret Realm adventure.
Among them was Master Chi Yan from the Five Elents Demon Sect.
If things were like this, he indeed had no good way to handle it for the ti being.
After all, the order was issued to him through the alliance.
If he dared to defy or not comply with the order, it wouldn’t be long before they would pass a judgnt against him.
There might even be a Nascent Soul True Monarch personally taking action against him.
By then, even if he was an Honored Guest Elder of the Demonstration Sect, it wouldn’t matter.
Disobeying orders during warti, there’s no argunt against that anywhere.
Even if executed imdiately, the Demonstration Sect wouldn’t be able to say anything.
Understanding all this, Ji Haoyuan took a deep breath.
He knew that at this point, he had no choice left.
Whether he was willing or not, he had to comply with this order from the alliance.
"Senior Brother Zhou, do you know where the alliance is sending ?"
After confirming he couldn’t act imdiately, Ji Haoyuan quickly adjusted his mood and turned to learn more about other related matters.
Zhou Kun nodded.
"It’s already confird, Junior Brother Nanhua, you’re being reassigned to East Mountain Pass, located west of the Beimang Mountain Range.
This pass connects westward to Wu Country’s Cultivation Realm, southward to Yan Country.
Eastward and northward are Da Jin and Da Liang respectively, both regions are prosperous and filled with Spiritual Qi.
Therefore, East Mountain Pass is also known as the Four Nations Barrier, and it must not suffer any loss."
"East Mountain Pass, huh?"
Upon hearing this location, Ji Haoyuan felt a shadow rise in his heart again.
This place was clearly the frontline of the current human-demon war.
Getting reassigned there, the intentions were already evident.
At least, from Ji Haoyuan’s perspective, this was how it seed.
Moreover, East Mountain Pass was very close to Wu Country’s Cultivation Realm.
Once he went there, there was a high possibility he’d encounter people from the Xiahou Family and Hundred Beasts Sect.
Though, with his current strength, he wasn’t afraid of the cultivators from both houses.
But to him, it would be another hassle for sure.
Putting all his thoughts aside for now, Ji Haoyuan asked another key question.
"Did the alliance ntion when I should leave? And how long do I have to be stationed at East Mountain Pass?"
"They’ve given you a month.
Within a month, you must arrive at East Mountain Pass.
As for the duration of your stationing..."
After a slight pause, Zhou Kun revealed a ti fra.
It was three years.
Ji Haoyuan had to stay at East Mountain Pass for a full three years before he could return to Heaven-Piercing Valley.
This was indeed...
A cold gleam flickered deep within Ji Haoyuan’s eyes.
But he quickly restrained it, turning once more to Zhou Kun and Shi Siyao, saying:
"Do either Senior Brother Zhou or Junior Sister Shi have any insights about East Mountain Pass?
Especially information about Golden Core cultivators stationed there currently, do either of you have any related materials?"
"Junior Sister Shi already prepared this before coming to see you, Senior Brother Nanhua."
Shi Siyao suddenly took out a jade slip from herself and handed it to Ji Haoyuan.
"Senior Brother Nanhua, the current situation at East Mountain Pass and information about the stationed Golden Core cultivators are recorded within this jade slip, you can review it later."
"Hmm..."
Receiving the jade slip from Shi Siyao, Ji Haoyuan imdiately expressed gratitude.
"Thank you, Junior Sister Shi."
Shi Siyao shook her head and said with a solemn expression:
"Senior Brother Nanhua, as you go to East Mountain Pass, rember to prioritize your own safety.
Do not act recklessly.
After all, it’s different from here, the number of mid-third-stage demons there, especially those with ancient bloodlines, is far more than we imagine."
"Thank you for the reminder, Junior Sister."
Ji Haoyuan nodded.
"I will be cautious and cautious. anwhile, Heaven-Piercing Valley will need the support and attention from Junior Sister Shi and Senior Brother Zhou."
Just now, he was considering.
Whether he should take care of the Black Wind Demon Tiger within Qiu Long Mountain Range before leaving Heaven-Piercing Valley.
But upon further thought, he decided to abandon the idea for now.
Not because he couldn’t, but because he shouldn’t.
Not to ntion the risks he’d assu entering Qiu Long Mountain Range alone.
Even if he managed to kill it.
It might disrupt the current balance, leading to more formidable mid-third-stage demons being sent from within the Qiu Long Mountain Range.
By that ti, for Zhou Kun and Shi Siyao, it wouldn’t be a help but a headache.
So.
To be safe, he decided to maintain this relative balance.
However, before leaving, he couldn’t leave without so backup.
Apart from informing Master Binghuo about his departure to East Mountain Pass.
He secretly handed Shi Siyao a top-tier third-stage talisman he had collected over the years.
Just in case.
As for why he gave it to Shi Siyao and not Ji Bochang or Ji Qingfei.
The reason was simple.
Firstly, Shi Siyao was a junior sister to Master Lei Xia and considered one of his own.
Secondly, and most importantly, such a top-tier third-stage talisman simply wasn’t sothing a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator could use.
Giving it would be aningless and might even harm them.
Once Ji Haoyuan arranged everything appropriately, he didn’t waste any more ti.
He released the Blazing Fire Swan from the Beast Taming Token, allowing it to carry him towards East Mountain Pass.
East Mountain Pass.
It was an important human defense line.
Within East Mountain Pass, even excluding Ji Haoyuan who hadn’t arrived yet, there were a total of twelve Golden Core cultivators.
Of these, three were senior Golden Core stage cultivators.
At this mont.
In a sound-guarded room.
Five people sat around a table.
The leader, wearing a purple robe with a few strands of beard beneath his forehead, was a middle-aged cultivator.
This person, nad Master Bi Chenzi, was stationed here from the True Words Sect.
His cultivation had reached the senior Golden Core stage.
At this mont, he glanced at the people present and spoke calmly:
"You should have all heard about Master Nanhua coming to East Mountain Pass soon, right?
I hope we can keep him here at East Mountain Pass forever."
