Chapter 179: Blue Lion and White Elephant Lock the Great River!

Yan Zhengfeng naturally saw the confusion and shock on the faces of these disciples and said: “This matter is still confidential for now. However, you will leave tomorrow. Under the leadership of the two elders, you will go to the destroyed base to rebuild it.”

Some disciples showed distressed expressions; this did not sound like a good task. Deep down, they didn’t want to go.

But they had no choice. They were all summoned here and judging from the situation, there was no room for stalling now.

So, all twenty-seven people could only agree in unison.

Yan Zhengfeng nodded slightly and then looked at the two elders in the great hall.

The two of them got the hint, stood up, and walked to the front of the twenty- seven people.

“Tomorrow, we will lead you to the base. All actions must obey our command. If anyone dares to defy the orders, we have the right to execute first and report later. Do you all understand?” The cold -faced elder among the two said.

One after the other, everyone responded. Then these two elders announced their own names. The cold-looking elder was called Dong Qing, and the other plain-looking middle-aged man was named Xu Shugong.

Of the 27 disciples present, there were two high-ranking disciples, ten mid-ranking disciples, and fifteen low-ranking disciples.

Fang Lin was one of those ten mid-ranking disciples.

Furthermore, Fang Lin noticed that whether it was the two high-ranking disciples or the others apart from him, they were relatively obscure in the Pill Sect, even considered quite mediocre.

In comparison, Fang Lin seemed to be quite outstanding.

At this moment, Meng Wuyou stepped forward and respectfully addressed Gu Daofeng: “Head Master, Fang Lin has only just become a formal disciple, he should not be asked to go. I hope you reconsider and find someone else to replace Fang Lin.”

Mu Yan also spoke up: “Fang Lin is a Talent of our Pill Sect, how can he be sent to a base? If he encounters Feng Qianqiu, won’t our sect lose a rare genius?”

As soon as the two of them spoke, a group of elders immediately echoed their sentiment, believing that Fang Lin should not be sent to the base.

These people all admired Fang Lin and treated him amicably, genuinely considering both his and the sect’s interest.

Both sentimentally and rationally, a potentially dangerous place like the base was indeed not suitable for a valuable prodigy like Fang Lin. It was simply a waste and a direct exposure to danger.

“Since he is the Talent of our Pill Sect, he needs more experience. No more words needed, I have already decided.” Gu Daofeng said indifferently, leaving no room for anyone to offer their opinion.

Upon seeing this, elders like Meng Wuyou changed their expressions. Mu Yan even clenched her teeth, about to lose her temper on the spot.

Meng Wuyou lightly pulled on Mu Yan’s sleeve, urging her not to act impulsively.

Mu Yan took a deep breath, turned around directly ignoring Gu Daofeng, and left the great hall.

Gu Daofeng didn’t care at all. He and Mu Yan had crossed paths many times before. His attitude was resolute, and nobody else could influence his decision unless the Sect Master himself intervened.

Elders such as Zhao Dengming and Yu Zhen, who always disliked Fang Lin, all showed elusive smiles. They distinctly contrasted with the gloomy and frowning group of people on Meng Wuyou’s side.

When everyone dispersed, the twenty odd formal disciples all seemed to understand what kind of task had fallen to them. One by one, they sighed and even a few low-ranking disciples showed expressions of complete despair.

However, Fang Lin was relatively calm, even somewhat excited.

Living in the Pill Sect, he was always under the control and suppression of Gu Daofeng. But if he was out there, it would be like a fish navigating through vast seas and a bird soaring in wide skies.

As for the potential dangers, Fang Lin didn’t give much thought. There’s no such thing as perfection in this world. What was there to fear about danger? Who in this world didn’t face dangers?

There and then, Fang Lin returned to his residence. After informing Dugu Nian, the latter naturally expressed her wish to accompany Fang Lin.

Fang Lin had expected this and wasn’t going to argue with her. She could follow him as long as she obeyed his instructions.

Dugu Nian readily agreed and then went off to pack her things.

Fang Lin also needed to pack. Considering that they might not be able to return to the Pill Sect any time soon after going to the base, things that needed to be brought along should all be taken.

Anyway, Fang Lin had more than enough space in his Nine Palace Bag. He packed all his possessions and left behind an empty courtyard. Even the matured herbs in the courtyard were packed by Fang Lin.

Early the next morning, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian came to the front of the Pill Sect’s gate. Several people had already arrived.

An hour later, everyone had gathered, including the two leading elders.

Seeing Dugu Nian among them, the two elders cringed a bit, but then let it pass.

Dugu Nian wasn’t part of the Pill Sect, so they couldn’t control her; they could only let her follow, as long as she wasn’t a nuisance.

Dong Qing confirmed the headcount without any doubt and then issued a Jade Brand to each person.

“Keep the Jade Brand safe. It is the identification you will use at the base. Don’t lose it, or bear the consequences!” Dong Qing said coldly.

Everyone safely kept the Jade Brand and immediately set off.

White Elephant Mountain, was within the sphere of influence of the Purple Mist Sect, but quite remote. Once crossed, it would be the end of the Purple Mist Sect’s territory.

Near White Elephant Mountain, a large river ran through the entire Qian Country. On the other side of the mountain, there was a Green Lion Mountain.

A millennium ago, a very powerful Demon Beast emerged from this river and wreaked havoc across the region, causing great suffering to the people living by the river.

Later, a powerful being took action, severely injured the demon beast, and forced it to retreat into the river.

Since the powerful being couldn’t pursue the demon beast into the river, he used his power to move mountains and seas in order to prevent the demon beast from wreaking havoc again. He moved two mountains to this location to suppress it.

Those two mountains were Green Lion Mountain and White Elephant Mountain.

Since then, the people living nearby had passed down a saying:

The Green Lion and White Elephant seal the great river!

The group from the Pill Sect left their sect and after more than ten days, finally arrived in the vicinity of White Elephant Mountain.

Purple Mist Sect members were already waiting there. As soon as they saw the Pill Sect group arrive, they immediately came up to assist them and lead them to the Purple Mist Sect’s base under White Elephant Mountain.

Upon arrival at the base, everyone witnessed a scene of ruins. Both Dong Qing and Xu Shugong frowned. Clearly, they had not expected the base to be destroyed to such an extent.

“From now on, this places is your responsibility.” The person who led them hurriedly gave a few instructions and then left with a few Purple Mist Sect disciples, all covered in dust..
