Seeing Shen Mengxuc leave, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan fell into a deep thought.
They all had a feeling that this was the last time they would see Ancestor Mengxue.
They did not know if they would be able to see Shen Yuanlong again when they returned to the Splendid Jade Mountain.
Putting away these emotions for the time being, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not stay here any longer. Instead, they turned around and headed towards the territory of the North Cloud Sect.
From their current location to the territory controlled by the North Cloud Sect, it was about ten times the distance from the Splendid Jade Mountain to the Ganyang Sect.
Even with their current cultivation, it would take them about three months to reach there at full speed.
Their goal was very clear. They wanted to find the Lightning Pool that Shen Ruyan had left for herself in her previous life.
However, a long time had passed. Even Shen Ruyan didn’t know the exact situation of the place where she left the Lightning Pool.
Everything would have to wait until they reached the territory of the North Cloud Sect before they could properly understand and investigate.
In the blink of an eye, more than four months had passed.
On this day.
They arrived at a Level 2 market called the Kun Mountain Market.
It was said that this was a market city under the jurisdiction of the North Cloud Sect’s affiliated sect, the Kun Mountain Sect.
It was considered a bustling market.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had already disguised themselves, first rented a cave abode here to stay. Then, they began to inquire about the situation in the entire North Cloud Sect.
Over a period of more than two months.
They finally found some clues.
“If I’m not wrong, the Lightning Pool I left behind should be one of these five locations.”
At this moment.
Shen Ruyan pointed at a map in front of them and said.
Jiang Chengxuan looked at the five places she was pointing at.
He discovered that the five places were the Fallen Leaves Mountain Range, the Autumn Wind Ridge, the Cloud Wave Lake, Moon City, and the Flying Rainbow Swamp.
Among them, the Fallen Leaves Mountain Range and Autumn Wind Ridge were both peripheral areas where demon beasts lived.
The danger level was not too high.
The Cloud Wave Lake was the biggest lake under the jurisdiction of the North Cloud Sect. It was extremely large.
With Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s current cultivation levels, the danger of going there was also within their ability to handle.
However, the problem was that it was too big. It would probably take a lot of effort and time to find the Lightning Pool.
Next was Moon City.
This city was the number one city of a Violet Palace Realm Sect, the Moon Watcher Sect.
If the Lightning Pool that Shen Ruyan had left behind was in Moon City, it would really be troublesome.
Especially the core area of Moon City, it was not easy for outsiders to enter.
As for the Flying Rainbow Swamp, it was a relatively dangerous area.
This was the habitat of the demon beast, the Three-Tailed Demon Crocodiles. There were a host of them.
If they were not careful, they might alarm the Level 3 Three-Tailed Demon Crocodiles.
Even with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s current strength, there was a possibility of them dying there.
“Husband, the Fallen Leaves Mountain Range and Autumn Wind Ridge are the two places with the least risk.”
Shen Ruyan pointed at the Fallen Leaves Mountain Range and Autumn Wind Ridge on the map and said to Jiang Chengxuan,
“Why don’t we start from these two places first? If there’s the Lightning Pool I left behind, it’s best. If not, we’ll consider searching elsewhere. What do you think?”
“I have no objections.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded in agreement.
However, at this moment, the restriction of the cave abode they were in was suddenly activated.
This made both of them frown slightly.
Especially when they saw the three strange people standing outside the cave abode, their eyes narrowed.
They looked at each other.
There was nothing to be afraid of. Soon, they lifted up the restriction of the cave abode and looked at the three people standing outside.
“We don’t seem to know the three of you. I wonder what brought you here?”
The three of them were two men and a woman.
The man in the lead was a burly man with a beard. He was at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
When he heard Jiang Chengxuan’s words, he immediately smiled and cupped his fists.
“I’m Lei Peng, an independent cultivator of this area.
The two people beside me are Guo Zixiao and Sun Yuqin. They are also Foundation Establishment Realm independent cultivators like me.
We took the liberty to come here this time because we understand that the two of you seem to be looking for an opportunity left behind by a senior.”
Hearing Lei Peng’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan narrowed their eyes.
They had long known that if they were seen inquiring about something, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Even though they had tried to be careful.
However, the only thing they did not expect was that the first to find them were not the people from the local Violet Palace Realm Immortal sects or families, but three independent cultivators.
Of course
Even if Lei Peng and the others claimed that they were independent cultivators, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who did not know them at all, still put a question mark to their real identity.
At this moment.
Lei Peng continued to smile and say, “To be honest, we happen to have a relatively accurate location of the cave abode left behind by a senior.
However, that senior had set up layers of restrictions on the cave abode when he was alive. Without enough manpower and strength, it’s impossible to break the restrictions in the cave abode.
I know that the two of you should be independent cultivators like us who came here from other places, so I was wondering if I could invite you to join hands with us.
Don’t worry, after this is done, we can distribute the gains according to how much we contribute. I wonder if the two of you are interested in this?”
It had to be said that Lei Peng’s words were very tempting.
They had been cautious enough in their investigation of Jiang Chengxuan and his wife.
In fact, it was not difficult to find out that the couple had come from somewhere else.
If Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were really ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm independent cultivators and had been searching for the cave abode left behind by a senior, they might really be tempted by Lei Peng’s words.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not ordinary independent cultivators. What they were looking for was not the cave abode of a deceased senior.
Of course, the most important thing was…
They would not trust strangers easily.
So.
After hearing what Lei Peng said, they immediately shook their heads without hesitation.
“I’m sorry, we’re not interested in what you’re talking about..”
