CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 273: ENTERING HIDDEN DRAGON MOUNTAIN

"They’ll handle it." Lan Tian glanced at the person lying on the ground.

"I’ll take care of it, you first get into the car and wait." These people cannot be left alive, he called the driver over. As the driver passed by Lan Tian, he glanced at her with a strange look, pausing for a few extra seconds on Lan Tian’s hand. Such a slender wrist, where does such explosive power come from, to cripple a person with a single punch.

Mo Junhua somehow produced two military sabers and gave one to the driver, each of them used a saber to end their lives.

Wu Hongfei looked at Lan Tian with curiosity. Old Mo repeatedly warned him that Lan Tian’s matters were not for them to manage. Previously he didn’t understand what that meant, but now he knows, it was truly out of their control. Skilled in both medicine and martial arts, Old Mo couldn’t possibly have trained such a ferocious person.

After Mo Junhua and the driver finished off those people, they drove away from the abandoned brick factory. Lan Tian stretched her wrist out of the window, flicking her fingertips, sending strands of grey sparks flying towards the corpses on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the corpses turned to ash. With a wave of her hand, a gust of wind blew the ashes away, leaving nothing on the ground. Lan Tian then withdrew her hand inside the window, the grey flames dissipating in the air.

No one spoke on the road, the atmosphere in the car was somewhat oppressive due to the assassination attempt. Old Mo rested with his eyes closed, Wu Hongfei held the medical kit seemingly lost in thought, Lan Tian leaned her head on Old Mo’s shoulder, also resting her eyes. Mo Junhua, through the rearview mirror, glanced at Lan Tian then focused back on the road.

The road ahead was much smoother, the car winding along mountain roads, never encountering attackers again. Perhaps those from the other side did not realize, those sent to assassinate Lan Tian and others had all been annihilated, maybe they thought Lan Tian and her companions were not so important, assuming those they sent could handle it.

Crossing through this forest, ahead lies Hidden Dragon Mountain. Lan Tian suddenly opened her eyes, looking towards Hidden Dragon Mountain ahead, inhaling deeply. Her mouth filled with Spiritual Energy, refreshing and invigorating. Such dense Spiritual Energy, it would allow her to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage without issues.

Something abnormal is definitely a sign!

In her past life, when Lan Tian came to Hidden Dragon Mountain, there wasn’t any Spiritual Energy. The top of the mountain barely had any, not even compared to her Wuhua Mountain. Why, in this life, does Hidden Dragon Mountain have such rich Spiritual Energy, as if the Spiritual Energy of the world was drawn here, compressed in Hidden Dragon Mountain, and this is still just the peripheral zone, the mountain’s interior must contain even denser Spiritual Energy.

As they entered the vicinity of Hidden Dragon Mountain, Lan Tian didn’t need to use the Mixed Element Technique; the Spiritual Energy in her Dantian autonomously circulated through her channels. Lan Tian directed the Spiritual Energy to her eyes and saw dense Spiritual Energy enveloping the whole mountain, especially the Spiritual Energy at the top of the mountain, turning from intangible to tangible, the thick spiritual fog almost forming droplets.

This isn’t normal, too abnormal!

This trip to Beijing is far more complex than Lan Tian imagined. Now, Lan Tian confirmed something, there are Cultivators in Beijing.

Having passed through the forest and entered the region of Hidden Dragon Mountain, twenty meters ahead is the first outpost of Hidden Dragon Mountain’s outer perimeter. Everyone entering Hidden Dragon Mountain must undergo inspection and registration, Old Mo is not exempted.

It’s good to have privileges; Old Mo did not need to get out of the car, showing his face through the opened window was enough. Wu Hongfei, who had come here several times before, only needed to present his credentials for registration. Lan Tian and Mo Junhua, visiting for the first time, were new faces. Those people questioned them back and forth, just when Lan Tian was becoming impatient and about to leave, Ji Feng arrived.

"Xiao Lan, I’ve come to pick you up." His voice arrived before he did, resounding from a distance, Ji Feng’s voice reached them. Mo Junhua stiffened, his gaze flickering momentarily towards the girl.

The soldiers seeing Ji Feng arriving saluted him, Ji Feng waved his hand, "Thank you for your efforts, that girl is my friend."

Lan Tian frowned, "Didn’t I tell you to rest well at home, what are you doing coming down here?"

"Long time no see, battalion commander Mo." Ji Feng sarcastically addressed Mo Junhua, then came over and clutched Lan Tian’s sleeve, blinking his eyes playfully, "I was just resting at home, not that you asked to come, but there’s nothing else to do at home. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time without seeing you, so I decided to come down and wait for you and also take a walk to aid digestion."

Mo Junhua raised an eyebrow, "..." He looked up at the residence halfway up the mountain, understanding it took half a day to walk down from there, and snorted coldly, this stroll was indeed far too long.

The drunkard’s intent is not in the cup!

Lan Tian pulled his sleeve out of Ji Feng’s hand and flicked Ji Feng’s forehead, "Stop causing trouble, I don’t have time for this."

"Why are you dressed like this?" Ji Feng noticed Lan Tian was dressed differently than usual, like in martial arts attire, "What happened?"

"It’s all because of you. Leaving the house, sneaking around like the underground Party members who can’t see the light," Lan Tian complained annoyed, "what kind of people has your old man offended? So many people don’t want him alive. On our way here, we encountered several groups who tried to ambush us."

The soldiers in the guardhouse glared at Lan Tian, dumbfounded by his speech; how much the chief had contributed to the country and the people, yet this girl just cursed the chief. If it weren’t for their restraint as soldiers, they would have punched her already for such provocative words.

They couldn’t do it, but someone else could. The Crown Prince definitely wouldn’t let her off. The soldiers glanced sideways at Ji Feng, wondering whether they should intervene or not.

See, the Crown Prince is going over.

"Are you alright?" Ji Feng anxiously grabbed Lan Tian to check on him, his face fierce, "These people are too lawless, treating the laws of Dragon Country as a joke, disregarding our nation’s dignity. I won’t let them get away with this, not a single one."

"I’m fine," Lan Tian shrugged off Ji Feng’s hands, "As for those people, it’s hard to say."

Mo Junhua came over, subtly blocking Ji Feng and pulled Lan Tian behind him, "Aren’t you here to pick someone up? You’ve picked the person up, are we leaving or not?"

The soldiers standing guard felt depressed, their preparations to stop a fight had been in vain.

"Enough, stop talking," Mr. Mo spoke from inside the car, "Hua Zi, you just escort them this far, hurry up and take your guys to meet up with the others, follow the original plan, everyone gets moving, young lady, let’s go."

"Yes, commander, mission guaranteed." Mo Junhua saluted, then turned to Lan Tian, lifting his hand to tidy up the hair by her temples, "Be careful yourself, don’t try to be brave."

With that, he turned and walked towards the military jeep parked on the side.

Several military vehicles were parked at the guardhouse, their curtains drawn, so it was impossible to see inside. When Lan Tian and the others arrived, those vehicles were already there, likely brought by Ji Feng.

Watching Mo Junhua’s retreating figure, Lan Tian’s indifferent eyes flickered, then suddenly she called out to him, "Mo Junhua, wait a moment."

Mo Junhua paused, then turned his head to look at Lan Tian, his eyes twinkling with an inexplicable smile.
