Chapter 1060: Chapter 480: Reunion After a Long Separation

The towering "Shenxiao Pass" stands at the junction of the "Transverse Mountain Range" and "Youyue Country."

Originally, it was the southern gate of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect."

But now, it has become the northernmost stronghold of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

The towering walls have been reinforced once again.

In addition to the original materials, a large amount of "Millennium Profound Iron Stone" was provided by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" for a second fortification.

On this majestic pass, the city gate tower, the city walls, the watchtowers... every place is engraved with intricate defense arrays.

This "Shenxiao Pass" glistens with a cold metallic sheen under the sunlight.

At the city gate, guards in "Black Tortoise Army" standard armor stand solemnly, their sharp eyes scanning the passing cultivators.

Here, even Li Yunjing and Fu Chao must be cautious and not act rashly.

Li Yunjing put away the "Cyan Cloud Ship" and landed outside the main gate of the pass.

As soon as he landed, a soldier of the "Black Tortoise Army" came forward to verify their identity token.

Having undergone identity verification many times before, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao naturally didn’t show the temper of true disciples.

Both of them obediently handed over their "True Disciple Token" for inspection.

"Oh, it’s Brother Li! Brother Fu!"

After seeing the tokens, the soldier’s attitude became a bit more respectful, "Are you two entering the city on sect orders, or...?"

"Hmm! We came on our own, not by sect orders!"

Li Yunjing nodded and casually asked, "Do you know Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi?"

"Sister Yu?"

The soldier raised an eyebrow, "Sister Lv?"

"Yes! It’s them!"

Hearing the soldier’s response, a ripple suddenly surged in Li Yunjing’s otherwise calm heart.

"Sister Yu and Sister Lv are currently serving in the ’Profound Secret Pavilion’ as inspection envoys, responsible for intelligence affairs."

The soldier said with a smile.

This remark seemed casual, but it was also because Li Yunjing and Fu Chao were true disciples of the sect; anyone else asking about this news would get nothing, and might even be suspected of having ulterior motives.

"Thank you, brother!"

Li Yunjing nodded, his heart slightly moved.

"Do you want me to arrange someone to take you to the ’Profound Secret Pavilion’?"

The soldier continued.

"There’s no need to trouble you, brother! We’re just going in to see the sect’s majestic stronghold!"

Li Yunjing declined with a smile.

Having reached "Shenxiao Pass," there’s no fear of not finding Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi?

He naturally didn’t want to owe anyone a favor here.

After exchanging a few more polite words, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao walked side by side into "Shenxiao Pass."

Now, "Shenxiao Pass" is a military stronghold, with all its institutions established for war.

The "Profound Secret Pavilion" is one such institution.

Inside the city, besides the "Black Tortoise Army" and "Cyan Dragon Army," there are also various armies organized by the "Great Ming Cultivation Realm."

While wandering, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao even saw a group of several hundred disciples from the "Primordial Yang Dao Sect!"

"It seems the ’Primordial Yang Dao Sect’ is quite committed!"

Fu Chao whispered, unable to help himself as he looked at the group of "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" disciples.

"After all, we’ve been allies for ten thousand years!"

Li Yunjing nodded, smiling.

As for more in-depth exchanges of interests?

There’s no need to discuss that openly!

Everyone knows it in their hearts.

Passing through the iron-blooded streets within the pass, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao saw the various institutions.

In front of each institution, a row of cultivators stood guard, exuding a chillingly serious atmosphere.

Here, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao, influenced by the atmosphere, also lost their smiles and became serious.

Before long, the two arrived at the "Profound Secret Pavilion."

This is an entirely pitch-black pavilion, surrounded by arrays and exuding a faint aura of killing intent.

Inside "Shenxiao Pass," there are no glamorous buildings; all constructions are prepared for war!

This "Profound Secret Pavilion" is no exception.

At the entrance, Li Yunjing didn’t ask the guards to announce their arrival; instead, he took out his "Communication Talisman" and sent a message announcing his presence.

Inside the "Profound Secret Pavilion," Yu Yunyi was intently organizing an ancient book in her hand.

Suddenly, the "Communication Talisman" at her waist flickered with light.

Yu Yunyi was slightly startled, then put down the ancient book and reached for the "Communication Talisman," which showed the message of Li Yunjing’s arrival.

In an instant, a hint of a joyful smile blossomed on her originally cold face, her eyes sparkling with bright light.

"Ruoxi, Yunjing is here!"

Yu Yunyi excitedly called towards the adjacent room.

Lv Ruoxi, who was studying magic, heard this and her eyes lit up instantly. She quickly put down the magical treasure in her hand and briskly walked out of the room.

"Really? How did he suddenly come, that’s wonderful!"

Lv Ruoxi’s face was full of uncontrollable joy, her tone filled with anticipation.

After so many years, they were finally reunited, and both women’s hearts were extremely excited.

The two hastily tidied up their attire, dressed to perfection, and then left, heading towards the entrance of the "Profound Secret Pavilion."

Along the way, Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi walked briskly.

Even when some people from the "Profound Secret Pavilion" greeted them, they didn’t stop, just nodded and moved on.

This surprised many people, who wondered what was happening!

"Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi seem to be heading towards the gate; could someone have arrived?"

This thought emerged in one man’s mind.

But thinking of that person in the sect, his face darkened, revealing a look of hatred.
