Chapter 794 - 795: Kunlun Mountain Range
Watching the resolute expressions on the women’s faces and hearing their firm words, Lin Kuang’s heart filled with warmth and emotion. Where else could one find such wives?
"Alright, I’m off then. I’ll see you again after today!"
With those words, Lin Kuang turned and strode away.
As the women watched his retreating figure, they couldn’t help but pray in their hearts that Lin Kuang would return safely.
"Senior Diwu, we can go now," Lin Kuang said with a smile, seeing Diwu Baiyu standing at the doorway.
At his words, Diwu Baiyu nodded with a smile. "Let’s go. Where is Liu Mu? Is he going directly to the Nangong Family, or will he rendezvous with us first?"
"He’s in the East Sea. Let’s go find him, then we can all set out together," Lin Kuang said after a moment’s thought.
Hearing this, Diwu Baiyu nodded. "Alright, we’ll find Liu Mu first, and then head to the Nangong Family together."
Lin Kuang agreed with a laugh. The two men got into a car and drove toward the Wumi Building in the East Sea.
Once at the Wumi Building, they easily met with Liu Mu.
When Liu Mu saw Diwu Baiyu, he was quite courteous. After all, Diwu Baiyu was his senior, and Liu Mu always showed the proper respect for his elders. Diwu Baiyu was equally polite, not only because Liu Mu’s strength was on par with his own, but also because he controlled the formidable Wumi Building.
The three conversed for a while before leaving. They boarded the Wumi Building’s private jet and headed for Qinghai, where the Nameless Elder and Gongsun Zhan were waiting. The Nangong Family was also located in Qinghai, within the legendary Kunlun Mountains.
The three men arrived in Qinghai aboard the private jet and met with the Nameless Elder and Gongsun Zhan at the airport.
Upon seeing Gongsun Zhan, Lin Kuang’s gaze met his. Sensing the change in the man’s aura, Lin Kuang knew he had also achieved a breakthrough; his strength was now no less than his own. If we were to clash again, the outcome would likely be a toss-up. Without a real fight, there’s no way of knowing what kind of strength the other possessed.
After everyone had exchanged greetings, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Senior Diwu, didn’t you say you had an old friend who was also coming?"
"You mean that old codger? Tsk, I reckon he’s probably gone on ahead," Diwu Baiyu said with a thoughtful smile, his tone cryptic, which left Lin Kuang confused.
However, Lin Kuang didn’t press the matter, knowing it would be useless to ask.
"Let’s go, the helicopter is ready for us. We’ll head straight into the Kunlun Mountains. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been there," Liu Mu said with a smile, implying that he had been to the place before.
Hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement. Time waits for no one, and they had a treasure to find, so they needed to hurry. With that in mind, the group boarded a helicopter and flew directly toward the Kunlun Mountains.
The Kunlun Mountains they were heading for were not the developed, tourist-friendly version, but the true, primeval Kunlun Mountain Range. Here, ancient trees scraped the heavens, giant boulders were strewn about, and cliffs rose sheer and steep. This was the true, primeval Kunlun Mountains—a legendary place where outsiders could not enter.
"Alright, let’s descend here. We can go straight down. You can find a place to land nearby," Liu Mu said to the helicopter pilot.
"Yes, Tower Master."
The helicopter began to descend. When it was still about twenty meters from the ground, Liu Mu, Diwu Baiyu, the Nameless Elder, Lin Kuang, and Gongsun Zhan all leaped from the cabin, landing effortlessly. For them, a drop of over twenty meters seemed to be no different than stepping onto flat ground.
"Old Liu, uh, COUGH COUGH, Father-in-law, why did we get out here?" Seeing the glare Liu Mu shot him, Lin Kuang resignedly corrected himself.
Hearing this, Liu Mu smiled. "Because the helicopter can’t fly any further in. Even if it could, you’d only be able to hover in the air, unable to see the true Nangong Family estate. As one of the few top-tier families, the Nangong Family is far more powerful than you can imagine."
Upon hearing this, Diwu Baiyu and the Nameless Elder both nodded, as they were obviously well-acquainted with the Nangong Family.
Gongsun Zhan remained silent. As a member of the Gongsun Family, whose standing in the Ancient Martial Realm was on par with the Nangong Family’s, he was naturally well-informed about them. Both were considered top-tier families.
Only Lin Kuang was puzzled, so he asked, "Father-in-law, what do you mean? You’ve completely lost me."
"To put it simply, a vast Maze Formation surrounds the Nangong Family’s territory. It’s something that ordinary people, and even masters at the Skyline Realm like you, would find impossible to see through.
"If you don’t know how to breach the formation and enter, you’ll never find the true location of the Nangong Family," Liu Mu said with a smile, looking at Lin Kuang.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang was stunned, shock filling his eyes. A Maze Formation? Something like that actually exists?
"Kid, don’t be so quick to disbelieve in things like Maze Formations. I have an understanding of Qimen Dunjia and am somewhat familiar with the Heavenly Machine Technique.
"You may think these things only exist in legends, but to people like us, a Maze Formation is just a common trick of misdirection. It’s like a mirage; the underlying principle isn’t complicated. If you study it for a while, you’ll find it’s actually quite easy," the Nameless Elder said to Lin Kuang with a smile.
Hearing the Nameless Elder’s explanation, Lin Kuang nodded in understanding. He didn’t know the first thing about Qimen Dunjia or the Heavenly Machine Technique.
The Nameless Elder led the way, followed by Liu Mu, with Lin Kuang and Gongsun Zhan in the middle and Diwu Baiyu bringing up the rear. The party of five walked into the forest ahead.
With the Nameless Elder leading, the so-called Maze Formation posed no trouble at all, and they passed through it with ease. Lin Kuang didn’t feel a thing, as if he were simply walking through an ordinary forest, completely unaware that a Maze Formation was even there.
Qimen Dunjia... It’s truly incredible. I’ll have to learn it if I get the chance.
Just then, four people rushed out, led by a middle-aged man. The man was clad in a blue robe and multi-layered cloth shoes. His short hair gave him a vigorous air, and his attire was reminiscent of ancient times. It was clear at a glance that he was a master.
"Who are you people? Why have you entered the domain of my Nangong Family? If you don’t give me a proper explanation, then I’m afraid none of you will be leaving here today!" the man said in a harsh tone, looking at Lin Kuang and the others.
