Imperial Treasure-Chapter 968 - 582: Mountain Hua Mist

Quickly, they avoided the tourists exploring the mountain and entered the foggy, treacherous, secluded areas of Mountain Hua.

At noon, the sun rose high, and it seemed like the frost had lessened a bit. Wrapped up in a coat and hat, Han Gao finally blurted out: "Damn, I’m freezing!"

"Fatty, with all that fat and still afraid of the cold," Gong Jiu, used to teasing these people, mocked Han Gao, who pouted and rolled his eyes.

"It’s precisely because of so much fat that he’s afraid of the cold. He’s fat, exposed to more cold, so he’s cold~" Brother Ma said importantly, humming a tune with a cigarette in his mouth while climbing, infuriating Han Gao who chased after him.

Perhaps even though this group had faced life and death together many times, they rarely strolled leisurely to enjoy the scenery, since their main purpose this time was the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference, with high safety and relaxed moods.

So the atmosphere was joyful and relaxed, even Zhang Wei, who was normally indifferent, couldn’t help but smile. Feng Sha, however, didn’t laugh much, as he was the living map focusing on complex terrain mapping, leading the way. As he led, he halted, first looking at Gong Jiu: "Ninth Miss, have we been here before?"

But seeing Gong Jiu stuffing her face full with snacks, looking carefree,

he quickly changed his target: "Miss Sui, have we been here before?"

Quite sensible.

But then he felt distressed.

"Yes," Sui Yi nodded, adding: "Third time."

Oh~ third time huh~

Why didn’t you say anything during the third time!!!

Feng Sha blinked, the others also froze, why did they feel this place was a bit strange.

According to the map, they should be able to find the place, yet after walking around, the fog only thickened, but this spot...

Seemed indeed repeated.

"Sui Yi, it’s the third time and you say nothing! You’re so naughty!" Flower Demon gestured with orchid fingers, throwing flirtatious glances~~

Sui Yi ignored her, just surveyed the mountain area, presently they stood mid-mountain, on a narrow path adhering to the mountain’s body, looking down they saw the flowing deep valley below.

Those afraid of heights might be scared to death.

"I want to test if this place is... very special."

Special?

Yhan Qingwu observed the surroundings, saying: "This mountain with mist veiled, if to set up Qimen Dunjia, it would be tricky, but once set, it’s extremely formidable. Sui Yi, can you discern anything?"

Sui Yi shook his head, three rounds yielded nothing.

This mist was indeed formidable, seemingly capable of engulfing people.

"What to do?"

They really hadn’t expected so many people couldn’t find the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference site, getting stuck in the mist labyrinth.

"The invitation didn’t mention this damn mist barrier, merely said following the path we’d reach it~~ hope it’s not a trap~"

Gong Jiu and others, accustomed to being set up, first thought of the Forbidden Forest.

Could the invitation be a forgery from the Forbidden Forest?

"Probably not, given Mountain Hua is territory under the Martial Arts circle and belongs to the Mount Hua Sect; it’s orthodox in martial circles. Unless the Forbidden Forest forces a confrontation with the entire martial arts circle, they wouldn’t be meddling at Mountain Hua."

Yhan Qingwu, analyzing while pulling out a small booklet from her backpack.

Gong Jiu glimpsed, "Tang Sect Record? Qingwu, what’s this?"

"Yeah, a notebook the Tang Sect Leader gave me, handed it some time ago. I’ve been studying it since, yet some parts are profound, I’m having some difficulty learning."

Yhan Qingwu flipping through notes on formations inside, answered quite understatedly, yet Gong Jiu and others picked up the implication.

Tang Sect Leader’s private tutoring~~

Miss Yhan is highly esteemed~

"All things considered, Tang Sect Leader is a major overlord in the martial arts circle. At the Adventurers’ Guild, I’ve seen some folk rankings on these forces. Tang Sect Leader Tang Song ranked third, with hidden weapon assassinations exceptionally lethal, and his mastery in Qimen Dunjia, boosting powers immensely, thus many avoid troubling him. Also, the Tang Sect has kept low profile these years, power not apparent, yet the circle always wary of him. Qingwu, if you’ve caught his favor, it’s immensely beneficial!"

Gong Jiu and others were genuinely happy for Yhan Qingwu.

She merely smiled, then suddenly, she lifted her head, somewhat joyous, "Found it, turns out this is the Mount Hua Mist Barrier, genuinely applied by the Mount Hua Sect to divide the tourism area and the actual Mountain Hua, commonly used. Generally, unless a true member of Mountain Hua, it’s difficult to break this labyrinth and enter Mountain Hua."
