CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 160: AN UNEXPECTED INCIDENT ON THE JOURNEY

The Marrow Jade Technique is the Yan Family’s family inheritance technique, which works best for cultivating the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Although Yun Canglang is full of fighting spirit, he has never practiced the Taoist skills.

It’s just a Taoist skill, but its effect is far from trivial.

Yun Sheng already treated Yun Canglang as her own family, so there was no need to hide anything.

Yun Canglang glanced at the mental method Yun Sheng gave him and realized in just a few moments that this cultivation technique was far from ordinary.

"Sheng’er, this technique is extraordinary; where did you acquire it from?" Yun Canglang was astonished.

"Uncle, you must have heard about the very powerful master I have," Yun Sheng found it difficult to explain, so she had no choice but to bring up her "baseless" Summon Emperor level master as a shield again.

When Yun Canglang was in Daoye Mountain Guard City, he heard that his niece, going by the name Yanyun, had once joined a B-level Hunter Soldier Team known as "Huangteng."

Yanyun herself had made a name for herself throughout Daoye Mountain a year ago.

What’s even more astonishing is that this newly risen Yanyun, who had no fame at all in the Da Zhou Hunting Soldier World before, is not only a summoner herself, but she also has a godlike and elusive master who, during the Beast Tide, turned the tide and saved the entire Hunting Soldier Guard City.

This raised Yun Canglang’s recognition of his niece to another level.

So young, yet already a Great Magic Director, capable of making Holy-grade Elixirs, and also a Summoner.

Fortunately, very few people know of Yun Sheng’s multiple identities; otherwise, who knows what kind of dangers her renown might bring her.

His niece’s talent truly made others envious, but Yun Canglang felt no jealousy; on the contrary, he was quite gratified.

She is the progeny of the Yun Family after all. Who says the Yun Residence has no successors? Given time, she, Yun Sheng, will undoubtedly become Great Zhou’s most unrestrained and brilliant genius.

Yun Canglang also knew some things shouldn’t be probed too deeply, so he did not pursue further inquiries and simply took away the mental method of the Marrow Jade Technique to comprehend.

Not long after Yun Canglang returned, Yun Sheng and the others began their journey towards the Southern Border of Great Zhou.

Because the content of this mission was extremely dangerous, involving the Purple Gold Mine of Great Zhou, Yun Sheng did not agree to let Gu Feng and others accompany her, and she did not reveal any hints of her plans even to Ye Beiming.

These days, Yun Sheng hadn’t seen Ye Beiming often; it was said that he, following Zhan Li’s instruction, had gone out on a mission.

Both being of the Royal Family, the treatment of Ye Beiming and the useless Crown Prince Ye Beilian was worlds apart; one idled about all day, while the other was hardly ever seen.

Leading a group of Hunter Soldiers, Yun Canglang took Huang Que with them, and nearly a hundred people left Yujing City together.

After more than ten days, as the Sky Hunting Corps neared the Southern Border of Great Zhou, one day, as the corps approached a range of mountains, Yun Canglang called everyone to a halt.

"The area ahead is called Yama Ridge. I’ve been here in my early military years; the terrain is treacherous, and bandits are prone to ambush here. Most of the bandits in this area also keep Demon Beasts to help in combat, so everyone must be vigilant after entering the mountains. We must stay together with the main force and never easily stray from the team," Yun Canglang’s early military experience stood out in this mission.

He would always send people to scout the terrain ahead and only proceed once a safe route was confirmed.

In this regard, he was much more seasoned than Feng Kuo.

The group responded and, after checking their luggage, proceeded forward.

Just 15 minutes into the walk, Zhou Quan carefully inspected the footprints along the way, his face full of caution, "Commander, these appear to be the tracks of a merchant caravan’s pack horses."

Yama Ridge is a must-pass for routes connecting Great Zhou, Tang Yuan, and Hou Qin, and also a path frequently traversed by merchant caravans.

Along the way, Yun Sheng and her group had encountered many Free Hunters and Hunter Soldier Teams sent to escort merchants.

"Uncle, I am a Mage; I’ll go ahead and take a look," just like many of Da Zhou’s hunting corps and Hunter Soldier Teams, the biggest problem for the Sky Hunting Corps right now was the lack of mages or summoners.

Yun Sheng was the only Mage in the team.

"""

With her mastery of Wind Magic, she naturally took on the role of scouting along the way.

After reaching the Charming Soul Stone, Yun Sheng found that using Wind Magic became even more effortless for her; with a wave of her Magic Wand, a breeze formed beneath her feet as if it were a miniature tornado.

Like riding the wind, Yun Sheng’s figure immediately weaved through the uneven heights of trees.

"Wow, Commander, the young master’s moves are really good, almost on par with Martial Artist’s Fighting Energy Wings," Zhou Quan and the others marveled.

Zhou Quan and the rest had always thought Yun Sheng was only skilled in Fire Magic; they didn’t expect her Wind Magic to be so formidable as well.

In terms of grandeur, magic naturally looks much better than Combat Skills.

But this does not mean that Martial Artists are incapable of flight.

Once they reach the cultivation of a Marquis, Martial Artists can also use fighting spirit to condense Fighting Energy Wings.

Like Yun Canglang, he could also fly mid-air using fighting spirit, but he admits that he cannot fly as if he were a Wind Elf like Yun Sheng.

In just a few breaths, Yun Sheng had already disappeared into the jungle.

The members of the Sky Hunting Corps waited on the spot for news from Yun Sheng.

Wind whistled past Yun Sheng’s ears, and in just a short while, she covered dozens of miles and entered the central region of Yama Ridge.

With a light tap of her toes, Yun Sheng’s movement technique would surely astonish even Divine Wind if witnessed.

Using just Wind Magic, Yun Sheng moved like an Elf with wings, gracefully stepping across the thick branches one after another.

The branches under her feet didn’t even tremble.

Yun Sheng took a few leaps and heard some movement ahead, so she descended and concealed herself beneath a large spread of leaves.

Under the dense canopy, she indeed saw two men dressed as Hunters.

Each man was also accompanied by a Demon Beast with an odd appearance.

The creatures reminded Yun Sheng of pangolins from a zoo.

They were covered in iron-gray, draped with thick armors, not tall, with a narrow elongated body, dragging a long tail behind them.

Except for the belly, the Demon Beasts were armored with thick scales all around, with their limbs being short and stout.

Even with Yun Sheng’s keen eyesight, she couldn’t immediately identify what kind of Demon Beasts they were.

The two Hunters moved quickly, and their Demon Beasts followed along, but they were still no match for the fleet-footed Yun Sheng.

The men didn’t realize there was a person hidden on a nearby tree.

Standing in the forest was a middle-aged man.

When the two Hunters saw the middle-aged man, they bowed in greeting.

The middle-aged man turned around; his elaborate clothes and the Jade Ring on his hand revealed he came from a wealthy family.

It was strange to see such a person in a place like Yama Ridge.

Yun Sheng was somewhat curious, so she decided not to rush off and hid in the tree to eavesdrop.

"How come there are only the two of you?" the middle-aged man showed some displeasure upon seeing the two Hunters and the Demon Beast behind them.
