Chapter 729: Chapter 729: "Spirit Crane Sect" Disciple

Two zhang away from the lake shore, the man and woman on the wooden boat leapt up and soared into the sky like two cranes in flight, elegantly landing on the shore.

"Senior Brother Li, look at these two people, their attire is so strange..."

The young girl examined Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, who were standing by the lake, with curiosity and said to the young man beside her.

The young man known as "Senior Brother Li" also saw Fang Bai and Long Jingtian and showed a face full of surprise, frowning as he said, "These two seem to be common folks from the secular world... Strange, how did they enter the Hidden Sect World? Was it a serendipitous opportunity or an accidental stumble?"

From Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, Senior Brother Li did not sense any fluctuations of a Martial Artist’s aura and thought that the two were just ordinary people from the secular world. However, the entrance to the Hidden Sect World was not only hidden but also protected by Concealment Formations set up by predecessors, making it rather incredible for ordinary people to find their way in.

"Commoners from the secular world?"

Hearing this, the young girl’s interest piqued, and she said with a laugh, "So this is what people from the secular world look like! Aside from wearing different clothes, they don’t seem different from us in any other way... Senior Brother Li, I’ve heard there are many fun places in the secular world. Since we don’t have a specific destination for our excursion into the world, why don’t we start by asking them about the most interesting places in the secular world?"

Senior Brother Li nodded, approached Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, and with folded hands and a smile, asked, "May I ask if you two friends are from the secular world?"

Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, seeing that Senior Brother Li was gentle, elegant, and polite, couldn’t help but feel a bit more goodwill toward him.

With a quick thought, Fang Bai pondered briefly before saying, "We were just playing in the mountains and somehow ended up here... May I ask who you two friends are, and where is this place?"

"This place is the Hidden Sect, and we are disciples of the ’Spirit Crane Sect’!"

The young woman stepped forward and quickly spoke up.

Seeing that he hadn’t fully ascertained the background of the two, and that Sun Lingzhi had already revealed their own Sect, Senior Brother Li couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself.

"Sun Lingzhi, be discreet!"

Senior Brother Li glanced at Sun Lingzhi with a look of mild reprimand.

Seemingly a little afraid of Senior Brother Li, Sun Lingzhi stuck out her tongue and kept quiet.

"I am Li Chenglong, and this is my Junior Sister Sun Lingzhi. May I ask how we should address our two friends?"

Since Sun Lingzhi had already disclosed their Sect, Li Chenglong felt there was nothing left to hide. Moreover, he thought since Fang Bai and Long Jingtian were ordinary people from the secular world, they posed no threat even if they knew his and his Junior Sister’s identities.

"Fang Bai."

"Long Jingtian."

Fang Bai and Long Jingtian likewise introduced themselves.

"So it’s Brother Fang, Brother Long!"

Li Chenglong nodded, then smiled and said, "Junior Sister Sun and I were just about to take a trip into the secular world. My Junior Sister is quite playful, so we would like to ask if you could recommend any entertaining places in the secular world?"

Fang Bai shook his head and said, "The environment in the secular world is too poor; what fun places could there be? I find this Hidden Sect World, akin to an Immortal Realm, to be far superior!"

Sun Lingzhi said, "The Hidden Sect World is lovely, but after seeing it too much, it also becomes somewhat tiresome. Several fellow disciples who went to the secular world for training once told me that although the Essence Energy is thin and the environment is poor, it is lively and bustling with many delicious things to eat and drink, and fun places to visit. That is why I pleaded with the Sect Master to allow me to train in the secular world with Senior Brother Li..."

She paused and looked at Fang Bai with hopeful eyes, adding, "You are from the secular world, so you must know where the good places to eat, drink, and have fun are... Could you tell me? Thank you so much!"

Seeing her eager to enter the secular world, Fang Bai smiled and casually mentioned a few famous scenic spots in Huaxia, as well as some cities known for their food.

Sun Lingzhi took note of Fang Bai’s words and then smiled radiantly, "Alright, I’ve got it memorized! After Senior Brother Li and I enter the secular world, we will visit the places you mentioned. I hope they won’t disappoint!"

She was anxious to experience the secular world and, after finishing her sentence, tugged on Li Chenglong’s sleeve and said crisply, "Senior Brother Li, let’s hurry!"

Li Chenglong seemed to be very fond of his junior sister, and upon hearing her, he nodded, bowed to Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, and said, "Both of you, we will be taking our leave first!"

After walking a few steps, he stopped, turned back to Fang Bai and Li Chenglong, and said, "Both of you, the Hidden Sect World may seem like an idyllic haven but is in fact filled with dangers. A careless step could cost you your life. I would advise you not to proceed!"

Sun Lingzhi added, "That’s right, that’s right! Why don’t you follow me and Senior Brother Li back to the secular world?"

Fang Bai and Long Jingtian exchanged glances, neither showing any intention of backing down.

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Thank you both for your kind warning, but since we are here, it would be a pity not to walk around and take a look! Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of Heaven. If we really encounter any dangerous situations, it will be nothing but our own bad luck!"

Li Chenglong sighed, stopped persuading, and said, "I hope you have a safe journey! Farewell!"

With that, he took Sun Lingzhi’s hand, executed their movement technique, and swept towards the mountains ahead, soon disappearing from view.

"To think that those two youngsters are already Earth Level powerhouses, their sect, ’Spirit Crane Sect,’ must also be a powerful clan in the Hidden Sect World!"

Fang Bai watched the direction in which Li Chenglong and Sun Lingzhi had vanished and said to Long Jingtian.

Long Jingtian stroked his beard and said, "From their Cultivation Levels, one can deduce that the Hidden Sect World truly is a place where the strong are aplenty! We must be careful on this journey!"

He then turned his head to look at the vast expanse of the lake before him and grew worried again, sighing, "This lake is huge. It would be a waste of time to skirt around the edges! We also have no choice but to cross the lake in a wooden boat like those two disciples from the ’Spirit Crane Sect’ just did!"

Fang Bai said, "Then let’s call over a wooden boat!"

Actually, with Fang Bai’s ability to easily and naturally control the Water Element Qi, even carrying Long Jingtian across the lake would be effortless. However, since there were many wooden boats coming and going on the great lake, and Fang Bai was new to the Hidden Sect World, he didn’t want to come across as too showy. Therefore, he flagged down the same boat that had ferried Li Chenglong and Sun Lingzhi across the lake.

When the boat approached the shore, Fang Bai saw that the boatman was a gaunt old man in his sixties and greeted him with a cupped fist, "Old gentleman, please ferry the two of us across the lake!"

It’s said that in the Hidden Sect World, everyone is versed in Martial Arts, and that certainly seemed to be the case as the skinny old boatman turned out to be an early-stage Profound Level Martial Artist.

"Judging by your attire, you must come from the secular world, right?"

The boatman glanced at Fang Bai and Long Jingtian and asked.

Fang Bai and Long Jingtian nodded together, their outfits indeed different from those of the people in the Hidden Sect World, which would reveal them to be from the secular world to anyone who had ventured outside before.
