The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 225 Stand on This Peak, Look at that Peak

Zhao Layue asked, "Why was he deceived?"

Jing Jiu said, "Because he is too suspicious."

Thinking that his senior brother would be deceived by him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing a smile, a little smug.

Zhao Layue was a little surprised, because he rarely had such emotions.

At that time, Chengjian by the riverside, Qingshan sword trial, and even the later Meihui, no matter how beautiful it was, he was so indifferent.

Zhao Layue didn't know what he was trying to deceive that person, and Jing Jiu didn't know the significance of this matter, it was just a habit of hundreds of years, to keep some cards.

This is what he learned from his brother.

It's like he knew that there was a ghost in Qingshan, but he didn't expect that the other party would be Fang Jingtian—after so many years, Xiaosi still hasn't forgotten his master.

Zhao Layue asked: "Fang Jingtian wanted to kill you twice, because he suspected you had found something?"

Jing Jiu said: "At Jianfeng Zuoyi wanted to kill you back then, because he knew you were in Chabihu Peak through the shutter man. Fang Jingtian didn't know what I found, but he knew I was investigating, and that was enough reason."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Layue raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing.

This matter involves a lot, if she and Jing Jiu push each other into a corner, how will they deal with it?

Shenmo Peak looks beautiful now, but in fact it is the weakest among the nine peaks of the Qingshan Mountain, and she has just stepped into the Wilderness Realm with the highest realm. How can she be the opponent of those people?

Jing Jiu knew what she was worried about, just like what he was worried about when he and her saw Yin San's body.

The years in the snowy field did not change his mind, he still felt that it was safest to stay in the green hills.

There's nothing anyone can do here.

The problem is that those two guys should leave Qingshan for a period of time after a few years. What if those ghosts hiding in the peaks take the opportunity to make a move?

Before life and death, no amount of caution can be overstated, not to mention this is his green hill, it would be absurd if something happened here.

He wanted to leave any chance for the other party, so he stood up and said, "Follow me to a place."

Zhao Layue asked, "Where?"

Jing Jiu said, "Bihu Peak."

Zhao Layue's expression was slightly chilled.

Before Jingyang's ascension, two pieces of Thunder Soul Wood disappeared mysteriously from Bihu Peak. She wanted to investigate this matter a few years ago, but was stopped by Jing Jiu.

Today he is going to take himself up to Bihu Peak, is it because he is going to directly reveal the truth of this matter?

...

...

Qingshan has nine peaks, and the peaks are different.

Shenmo Peak is the loneliest, somewhat similar to Jianfeng, like a stone sword pointing to the sky.

Bihu Peak is extremely green, looking like a rockery in a garden, and the dense forest looks like moss covering it, covering all the mountain paths.

Only when you walk in it, you will know how huge Bihu Peak is, and it is very difficult to meet people here.

Slightly cold clouds and mist float in the green forest, and the front of the mountain road appears and disappears from time to time. It really looks like a road leading to a fairyland, as if it may disappear at any time.

When he came to a certain cliff, Jing Jiu looked at the mountain in the distance, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't like the cold more and more."

When he was in that peak, he didn't like the coldness coming from the bottom of the well, and even the boiling hot pot soup couldn't bring much comfort.

Now after several years of living in the snow field, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

There are many cliffs on that mountain peak, with ice and snow remaining between the cliffs, but green pines stretching high above, exuding a chill between the sky and the earth, which can be felt even at such a distance.

There is Shangde Peak.

Zhao Layue's gaze fell there.

Jing Jiu continued, "That man was imprisoned in the Sword Prison at the bottom of Shangde Peak."

Only then did Zhao Layue know why he stopped, thinking about the story she would hear next, even she couldn't help being a little awed.

"Sword Prison is the killing gate of Qingshan Sword Formation. The restriction is too strong, and he can't leave even after exhausting countless methods."

Jing Jiu's voice did not have any emotional fluctuations.

"Until a certain year, he tried to get a piece of Thunder Soul Wood, resolutely abandoned his Taoist body, transferred his soul to a disciple of the Underworld, and finally managed to escape."

At that time, the eyes of Qingshan Nine Peaks and even the entire Chaotian Continent were all focused on the top of Shenmo Peak, which was indeed the best time.

Zhao Layue thought of the corpse outside Yunji Town, and remained silent.

Jing Jiu continued: "Of course this is not safe enough, so he used Master Meng's sword to feign death and cut off all the clues."

Zhao Layue said: "It seems that the person who rolled the curtain was right. Master Meng was indeed involved in this matter."

Jing Jiu said: "He may not know all the inside information, but it must be related, so Shangdefeng can find Bihufeng."

Zhao Layue asked puzzledly: "But Master Meng has been attacking the wild world in Shangde Peak."

Jing Jiu said, "Retreating is like being imprisoned."

Zhao Layue understood, and said after a moment of silence: "The former Bihu Peak Master Lei Poyun was imprisoned because of this, why did he escape later?"

Jing Jiu said, "Of course they were released."

Zhao Layue said: "You guys want to save him?"

Jing Jiu said, "It may also be silence, because Shangdefeng won't kill him."

Zhao Layue looked at the cold mountain in the distance, and said: "You are looking for Lei Hunmu to find out the person who escaped, and it's not about Master Jingyang's uncle's ascension?"

Jing Jiu said, "The Ascension Formation doesn't need Thunder Soul Wood."

Zhao Layue looked away, looked at him and asked, "Where did the other piece of Thunder Soul Wood go?"

Jing Jiu said, "It's useful."

Zhao Layue was silent for a while again, and said, "Then what are we doing at Bihu Peak today?"

Jing Jiu said, "This is what you want to check. I want you to see it with your own eyes. I'll show you a guy by the way."

After saying this, he stepped up and continued walking, with Zhao Layue following behind.

The mountain road became steeper, and after an unknown amount of time, the mist suddenly broke, and the dampness rushed to the face, and the Taoist temple in front of the cliff could be seen from a distance.

Zhao Layue knew that Fangbi Lake was behind the cliff.

"who is it?"

Accompanied by the clear sword intent, the two disciples showed their figures and looked at them vigilantly.

There is only one mountain road leading to the peak of Shenmo Peak, and there are no disciples guarding it, only formations restrict it.

There are not many Bihu Peaks, there are at least ten mountain roads leading to the peak, and the forbidden array is also arranged in front of the peak cliff, guarded by disciples all day long.

Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue didn't have time to say anything, when the two Bihu Peak disciples saw their faces, their expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly saluted: "See Peak Master, See Master Uncle Jing."

The two disciples of Bihu Peak were very surprised, wondering why these two masters came, and they didn't control their swords and went straight down to the peak, they greeted each other respectfully, and at the same time prepared to pass on to the masters.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and I want to go shopping, don't need to communicate, and don't pay attention to me."

Jing Jiu led Zhao Layue forward.

Not long after, the two came to the top of the peak, and the lake was as green as the sea, with white gulls flying in front of them.

There is a small island in the distance, and a palace is faintly visible.
