The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1075: Posuo Forest

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Posuo Forest

Having confirmed Ning Fan’s identity, Xiang Yun became even more enthusiastic.

A cultivator from a hidden clan on a journey, who can casually take out a top-grade elixir, means that the clan is either very powerful or extremely adept at alchemy.

No matter which case it turns out to be, forming a good relationship with him would be immensely beneficial to oneself.

"Brother Xiang, by all accounts, if one can find the Deputy Sect Master of the Feiyu Sect, your Sect Master wouldn’t actively go out looking for people, right?"

In order to curry favor with Ning Fan, Xiang Yun hesitated for a moment, then simply decided to tell him the Sect Master’s plans.

"Brother Xu Cheng, you must keep this a secret for me, okay? Stick by my side, and I guarantee nothing will happen!"

The fake name Ning Fan had given him was Xu Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan nodded with a smile, "Then, I’ll have to thank Brother Xiang for looking out for me. This is actually my first time leaving my clan to travel alone; I’ll need a lot of help from Brother Xiang."

"No problem at all, I, Xiang Yun, love making friends most of all. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me," Xiang Yun assured, thumping his chest.

Soon, the group arrived in the midst of the dense forest.

Many cultivators had already changed their expressions upon landing.

"Why here..."

"It makes sense, only by escaping here would no one follow."

"Tsk, this Deputy Sect Master of the Feiyu Sect really is ruthless."

Seeing this, Ning Fan inquired in a low voice, "Brother Xiang, what’s special about this place?"

Xiang Yun explained, "This place is called Posuo Forest. It may not look big, but once you enter, you find that it’s actually a hundred times larger than it appears."

"Is that the only reason?"

"Of course not. This place is called Posuo because it’s full of devious and unpredictable dangers. It’s said that there’s a secret realm left by ancestors from the ancient past. However, this secret realm is extremely dangerous, and it’s common for cultivators to disappear within it, making everyone so wary."

Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the forest shrouded in mist.

Within this forest, there seemed to be some peculiar and powerful force...

Ning Fan had previously used Zhai Yonghui’s offensive as a distraction to escape from the Feiyu Sect and had wanted to go directly to look for Shuang’er and the others.

Unexpectedly, Zhai Yonghui’s response was quick; he immediately organized disciples to set up a dragnet search.

He even used his spiritual power to lock onto Ning Fan, chasing after him directly.

To prevent Zhai Yonghui from finding Shuang’er and the rest by following him, Ning Fan had no choice but to escape alone.

After using various methods along the way, he finally evaded Zhai Yonghui’s search, but he also lost contact with Shuang’er and the others.

Taking advantage of the situation, he employed a secret technique from his heritage to alter his appearance and found the closest lower-ranked sect to gather information.

Just then, he encountered Xiang Yun boasting to a group of cultivators by the roadside and casually joined his team.

"I wonder if Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng is here, and if the others would be with him..."

Ning Fan had forgotten to leave traces of spiritual power on everyone, so after separating, they had no way of finding each other through sensing.

Disciples from the Flying Immortal Sect were scattered in twos and threes throughout the forest.

There were also many rogue cultivators following behind some of the disciples, looking like they had been recruited just like Ning Fan.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other cultivators had not yet fully arrived, Ning Fan surveyed the dense forest before him.

To quote Xiang Yun, the size of this forest far exceeded their current view, as if it harbored another world within.

The forest was veiled in a hazy mist, and as Ning Fan attempted to probe with his spiritual power, he found it difficult to extend.

It felt as if sinking into a mire; every expansion met with great resistance and required considerable effort.

"This mist can actually affect my spiritual power, something not even someone in the Pseudo-Dan Realm could necessarily do."

A sense of vigilance instantly arose in Ning Fan’s heart; this forest was definitely not a simple existence.

In fact, from the Jinmu Sect’s reaction, the problem became apparent.

The rewards offered by the Flying Immortal Sect were substantial enough to greatly elevate any lower-ranked sect.

Without necessity, who would want to share such a profitable opportunity with others?

About half an hour later, it seemed that everyone had arrived.

The Sect Master of Jinmu Sect, with hands clasped behind his back, approached before everyone, his gaze sweeping over them.

"Gentlemen, I believe everyone is clear about the purpose of coming here today, so I hope that in the following search, everyone can put in more effort."

"As long as we find that Deputy Sect Master of the Feiyu Sect, whatever rewards the Flying Immortal Sect offers, I, the Sect Master, will share with the fellow cultivator who finds him."

Hearing this, everyone’s breath grew heavier.

At first, they didn’t take this matter very seriously; strictly speaking, they were just hired to do a job.

Even if there were great rewards, it was unlikely they would be the ones to enjoy them.

But the fact that the Sect Master of Jinmu Sect was willing to share the Flying Immortal Sect’s reward with them was completely unexpected.

"Rest assured, we’ll give it our all!"

"How dare the Feiyu Sect offend the Flying Immortal Sect; they deserve to be punished by all!"

"Such immense wealth, of course, it’s for us to obtain!"

Not just the hired rogue cultivators, even the cultivators from the Jinmu Sect were buoyant with enthusiasm.

Subsequently, under the leadership of the Jinmu Sect Sect Master, everyone began to explore into the depths of the dense forest.

Behind each disciple of the Jinmu Sect followed the cultivators they had recruited.

"Everyone must be careful; this Posuo Forest hides many dangers, and if you are not cautious, you may fall into one of them..."

Xiang Yun led the way at the front, holding a compass, seemingly recognizing the direction.

To capture Zhuang Peng, they had made ample preparations to ensure they wouldn’t lose their way in the Posuo Forest.
