Chapter 338 Lei Jingxiao: Servant? Who? Me? (Happy New Year!)
Hearing this, Lei Jingxiao did not hesitate. With a change in his hand seal, the massive shocking thunder boat shuddered slightly and continued forward.
At this moment, they were already in the heart of the Taihua Domain, hovering above the main district of Cangwu City.
As a transportation hub connecting several Great Domains, the scale of Cangwu City was grand beyond common imagination.
Moreover, above its main district, an extremely strict Flight-Prohibition Array was deployed.
In ordinary times, even an average Nirvana Realm Venerable would not dare to fly freely here, let alone steer such a massive flying boat through the streets in such a flamboyant manner.
If someone truly dared to be so reckless, the Law Enforcers of Cangwu City would definitely strike with heavy blows immediately and teach them a lesson!
But... atop Lei Jingxiao's flying boat, a massive flag embroidered with a purple thunderous blazing sun was hanging conspicuously!
That was the exclusive emblem of the Yanyang Holy Land's Lei Fa Peak!
This represented the supreme status of a Holy Land Sequence; within the entire Shengyang Prefecture, it carried absolute privileges!
So, even if the guards of Cangwu City saw this flying boat passing by ostentatiously, they could only look up from below, not daring to obstruct it in the slightest.
“As expected of the center of a top-tier Great Domain!”
“The prosperity of this Cangwu City is even a few degrees higher than that of Aurora Domain's Liuguang City!”
Lin Mo stood at the edge of the deck, looking down at the majestic city that sprawled like a crouching dragon and the dense crowds on the streets,
and couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder in his heart.
However, this sightseeing moment did not last long.
For only a moment later, the flying boat arrived above a vast and heavily guarded plaza.
That was the transit station for this journey—the location of the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array!
“Tsk...”
“Since we've arrived, it's time for me to take my leave.”
At this time, Formation Grand Master, who had been standing by the side, looked at the teleportation array below, his face showing his intention to depart.
The main reason he had shamelessly hitched a ride on the flying boat was to get closer to Lin Mo and become a familiar face.
Now that they had traveled this far, their relationship had been sufficiently established, and his goal could be considered perfectly achieved.
Next, he should return to his main business and complete the 'main quest' for this trip—finding his daughter!
This matter was equally important; after all, she was the apple of his eye, and he couldn't afford to be careless!
“Uncle Gu, you're leaving already?”
Seeing that Formation Grand Master was about to leave, Lin Mo naturally had to exchange some pleasantries, especially since the man had given him a token earlier.
“Yes, as you know, my nephew, I have a mission for this trip.”
“The entire Shengyang Prefecture has just undergone great turmoil, and things are unsettled everywhere...”
“I really can't stop worrying about my simple-minded daughter!”
“I don't even know where that girl is right now or if she's encountered any danger...”
Formation Grand Master sighed, a look of worry appearing on his face.
“Don't worry, Uncle Gu. Miss Gu is a blessed person; heaven will look after her!”
Lin Mo patted Formation Grand Master's shoulder and comforted him in a firm tone:
“Perhaps not only is she fine, but she's also stumbled upon a massive Opportunity!”
“You can rest easy!”
Lin Mo wasn't exaggerating at all.
Gu Zhiyun was already in another world. Not only had she seen 'otherworldly scenery' that even a Great Emperor could not reach,
but she had also received a boost to her transcendent Comprehension Ability and cultivation speed!
If this didn't count as a heaven-sent Opportunity, then nothing in this world would!
“Hehe...”
“Then I'll take your auspicious words to heart, my nephew!”
Formation Grand Master forced a smile and then cupped his hands to everyone.
“Alright, no need to see me off. I'm going!”
“Nephew, take care.”
“Everyone, take care!”
With that, his figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot, departing cleanly and decisively.
Thus, only Lin Mo and the other three remained on the vast deck of the flying boat.
“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Gu certainly left in a carefree manner.”
“Alright, let's head down as well.”
After watching Formation Grand Master leave, the Fierce Sword King called everyone to disembark.
Afterward, Lei Jingxiao waved his hand and silently recited a hand seal.
Buzz!
The massive shocking thunder boat instantly erupted with light and shrank rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into an exquisite mini-boat only the size of a palm, which he casually tucked into his storage ring.
“Ha... this thing is really convenient.”
Lin Mo watched from the side with a hint of envy.
This kind of top-tier Magic Treasure that could change size and was perfect for travel was indeed enviable.
“Sigh, Brother Lin, don't be envious.”
“You'll have one sooner or later anyway!”
Lei Jingxiao smiled and naturally followed behind the Fierce Sword King.
Seeing this, Lin Mo and Mu Yurou naturally followed closely.
The Cross-Domain Teleportation Array, being a vital location of a domain, was typically heavily guarded,
and its defense level was no less than that of a large Sect's protective array.
Furthermore, the threshold and cost to use such a super teleportation array, capable of spanning hundreds of millions of miles, were shockingly high!
Not only did it require an extremely high fee in Spirit Stones, but it also often required a certain social status.
But even so,
within this incredibly prosperous Cangwu City, there were still many Cultivators who could afford the price.
This resulted in a long queue forming outside the entrance to the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array.
Looking around, there were at least several hundred people waiting anxiously.
However, the Fierce Sword King didn't even spare them a glance.
With his hands behind his back and a calm expression, he led everyone straight to the entrance of the teleportation array, completely ignoring the queuing crowds.
“Hmm?!”
“Who's that?”
“So arrogant?”
“Don't they know how to queue?!”
“Does he dare to cut in line? Does he really think he owns this place?”
Seeing the Fierce Sword King walking so ostentatiously and superciliously,
some ill-tempered Cultivators who had been queuing for a long time immediately showed dissatisfied expressions and couldn't help but grumble in low voices.
“Shh! Are you crazy?!”
However, before the man could finish, his companion clamped a hand over his mouth, his face pale and eyes filled with terror.
“Do you want to die?!”
“That is the Fierce Sword King of the Yanyang Holy Land!!”
“He is a King-titled Expert, a Holy Land Elder!!”
“You want him to queue? You must be tired of living!”
“What?! It's actually the Fierce Sword King?!”
Upon hearing this title, the surrounding crowds who were still complaining fell silent instantly, each one as quiet as a cicada in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.
A man's reputation follows him like the shadow of a tree.
The three words 'Fierce Sword King' were a resounding gold-lettered brand in Shengyang Prefecture!
Who would dare to provoke such a being?
However, after the initial shock, everyone's gaze couldn't help but fall upon the three young people following behind the Fierce Sword King.
“Hiss... who are those young people following him?”
“To actually be personally led by a big shot like the Fierce Sword King?”
“Could they also be Elite Disciples of the Holy Land?”
The surrounding people were abuzz with discussion, and various speculations emerged one after another.
But Lin Mo and the others didn't care about these idle rumors.
Under the lead of the Fierce Sword King, they proceeded without hindrance, arriving directly at the core entrance of the teleportation array.
And the one responsible for guarding this place was surprisingly an expert with a profound aura who had reached the Dao Integration Realm!
“Greetings, Lord Fierce Sword King!”
Seeing who had arrived, the person in charge, who had previously looked quite majestic, immediately stepped forward quickly,
and after confirming the token presented by the Fierce Sword King, he bowed even more respectfully, his attitude humble to the extreme.
“Yes, I wish to open the Holy Land's Exclusive Teleportation Channel.”
“How long will it take?”
The Fierce Sword King nodded slightly and asked in a deep voice.
“In reply to my Lord, the exclusive channel is always under maintenance and can be activated at any time!”
“Five minutes! Only five minutes of adjustment are needed!”
“You may go inside and wait for a moment.”
The person in charge answered hurriedly, fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead.
Facing a Holy Land Elder of the King-titled Rank, a minor Hedao Cultivator like him felt immense pressure.
“Good.”
The Fierce Sword King nodded.
However, just as the person in charge thought this Lord was about to take the first step,
the Fierce Sword King did not move.
Instead, he actually turned slightly to the side, clearing a path, and then made a 'please' gesture to Lin Mo behind him.
Furthermore, an extremely polite, even somewhat respectful smile appeared on his face.
“Little Friend Lin, after you!”
“Huh?!”
This scene completely dumbfounded the person in charge!
Was he seeing things?
The dignified Fierce Sword King, a King-titled Expert and Holy Land Elder,
was actually making way for a young man who looked barely in his early twenties?
And with such a respectful attitude?
This young man... just what kind of existence was he?!
Could he be a direct descendant of some Grand Elder of the Holy Land?
This was simply too terrifying!
And the queuing crowds not far away, upon seeing this scene, instantly exploded in an uproar!
“Holy crap!!”
“What's the situation?!”
“Lord Fierce Sword King is actually making way for that young man first?”
“What kind of background must he have?!”
“I know!”
Just then, a Cultivator in the crowd who prided himself on being well-informed
slapped his thigh hard, looking as if he had seen through everything, and analyzed with great confidence:
“I saw them arriving on a flying boat just now.”
“And on that flying boat, there was the emblem of Lei Fa Peak!”
“So it's obvious that the young man walking at the very front must be the Yanyang Holy Land's Ninth Sequence—Lei Jingxiao!”
“Only a Holy Land Sequence is worthy of such courteous treatment from an Elder!”
“Lei Jingxiao?!”
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
“So that's it. If it's Lei Jingxiao, then it's reasonable...”
“After all, he's a Holy Land Sequence, possessing an exalted status.”
“Then... what about the two people behind him?”
Someone pointed at Lei Jingxiao and Mu Yurou, who were following behind Lin Mo like little lackeys, and asked curiously.
“Sigh, do you even need to ask?”
That 'know-it-all' sneered, his face full of disdain.
“They must be Lord Lei Jingxiao's servant and maidservant!”
“When a noble Holy Land Sequence travels, how could they not bring a servant and a maidservant to wait on them?”
“Don't you agree?”
“Yes, yes, yes! It must be so!”
Everyone nodded one after another, feeling that this analysis was simply too logical. But they didn't notice at all that the face of the 'servant' they were talking about was gradually turning black!
