278: Go down the mountain and return to Shanhai Garden, where there is a girl in green.

Chapter 278: Descending the Mountain, Visiting Shanhai Courtyard Again, The Girl in Green.

Hearing Headmaster Dao Xuan's voice, everyone instantly quieted down.

Soon, Headmaster Dao Xuan of the Qingyun Sect, clad in a dark green Daoist robe, slowly stepped into Yuqing Hall.

His face was majestic, his eyes held wisdom and depth, and every step seemed to carry boundless authority.

"Disciples greet Sect Head Shibo!"

Everyone quickly bowed, their movements uniform, their voices loud and respectful.

Headmaster Dao Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around, and said, "You all know that I summoned you here to descend the mountain this time."

"But you probably don't know what you're supposed to do after descending, do you?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"This time, there is an important task for you."

Headmaster Dao Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, "Intelligence shows that some remnants of the Demon Sect are frequently active near Wanfu Grotto on Kong Sang Mountain."

"Therefore, I have arranged for you to descend the mountain."

"What you need to do is investigate their true purpose; this can also be considered a form of training for you."

At this moment, Headmaster Dao Xuan looked at Su Han, "Su Han."

Su Han stepped forward, "This Disciple is present."

"This time, you will lead the team."

Hearing this, Su Han cupped his hands, "This Disciple will definitely do his best and not fail the Sect Head's trust."

The other four also expressed their willingness to follow Su Han's command.

Headmaster Dao Xuan looked at them, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, "Wanfu Grotto was once the territory of the Blood Refinement Hall of the Demon Sect; it can be said to be fraught with danger. You must act with caution."

"If you encounter danger that you cannot resist, immediately return to the Qingyun Sect."

"Yes, Sect Head Shibo!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout Yuqing Hall.

Afterward, Headmaster Dao Xuan gave some other instructions, such as mentioning that Disciples from Incense Valley and Tianyin Temple would also be accompanying them, and warning them not to tarnish the Qingyun Sect's reputation, and so on.

Everyone naturally nodded in agreement.

...

...

...

As Headmaster Dao Xuan finished giving instructions, everyone walked out of Yuqing Hall again.

At this moment, outside Yuqing Hall.

Su Han was the first to summon his Dragon Slaying Sword; the body of the Dragon Slaying Sword glittered with a sharp cold light and hummed.

He lightly tapped his toes and landed steadily on the sword.

"This matter is of great importance. The Sect Head has allowed us to fly with swords directly from Tongtian Peak."

"Let's go!"

Su Han gave the order.

The other four also quickly took action, each summoning their own magical artifact.

In an instant, various colors of light shone, and sword shadows intertwined.

They all followed Su Han and flew towards the foot of the mountain.

Their figures, illuminated by the sunlight, streaked across the sky as brilliant beams of light.

The sound of the wind whistled in their ears, and the mountains and rivers below unfolded rapidly like a scroll.

"Junior Sister, this is your first time descending the mountain since you came up when you were little, right?"

At this moment, between the white clouds, Su Han and Lu Xueqi flew side by side at the front, while Qi Hao, Zeng Shushu, and Zhang Xiaofan tactfully followed behind.

Lu Xueqi heard Su Han's question and nodded slightly.

"Yes, it is indeed my first time."

After all, the current Lu Xueqi was still just a girl in her teens.

Even if she was as cold and ethereal as a celestial being.

But at this moment, looking at the rivers and mountains outside the mountain, a hint of almost imperceptible anticipation couldn't help but flash in her eyes.

Seeing this, Su Han's mouth curved upwards, revealing a gentle smile, and he said, "Then Junior Sister will have a treat for her taste buds later."

"According to the itinerary today, we will first go to Heyang City to rest for a night. It is the largest and most prosperous city within several hundred li."

"And in the Shanhai Courtyard in Heyang City, there is a famous dish called Stewed Meiyu Fish."

"Senior Brother must take you to try it; its taste is truly excellent."

"I ate it once when I passed by on my last trip down the mountain to pick up Master; even now, the memory is still fresh."

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi's eyes flickered, and she looked towards the distance, a hint of curiosity flashing through her eyes.

"Since Senior Brother highly recommends it, then Junior Sister really wants to try it."

At this moment, Zeng Shushu, with an excited look on his face, shouted loudly from behind, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Su Han to be such a connoisseur of food!"

"The taste of that Stewed Meiyu Fish makes one's mouth water just thinking about it."

"The fish is tender, melting in your mouth, and the soup is rich and mellow. Just one sip feels like all the pores in your body have opened up. That taste is absolutely incredible, hehe!"

Looking at Zeng Shushu, who seemed to be drooling just thinking about it.

Zhang Xiaofan, with a look of surprise, couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Zeng, shouldn't this be your first time descending the mountain too?"

Zeng Shushu smiled proudly, saying excitedly, "You don't know about this, do you?!"

"Back then, I used to sneak down the mountain. There's a lot of delicious food in Heyang City; I've long since become an expert!"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "You can do that?!"

Zeng Shushu patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and laughed, "What did you think!"

For a while, everyone started chatting, talking idly in the sky, but it was mostly the conversation between Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan.

Compared to Zeng Shushu, who seemed to know a little about everything, Zhang Xiaofan was like a curious baby.

And time slowly flowed by as everyone chatted.

They didn't know how long they had been flying until the distant horizon turned slightly red and the sun set in the west.

At this moment.

Zeng Shushu suddenly pointed excitedly at the magnificent city not far below and shouted loudly, "Xiao Fan, look, that's Heyang City!"

Su Han looked into the distance, nodded slightly, and said clearly, "Keep up. We'll go to Heyang City to rest for a night today."

Everyone sped up and flew towards Heyang City.

As they gradually approached, the outline of Heyang City became clearer; the tall city walls, the bustling streets, and the numerous shops were all clearly visible.

After everyone landed at the city gate and put away their magical artifacts, they entered one after another.

As soon as Zhang Xiaofan stepped into the city, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians, the shops lining the streets were dazzling, and the sounds of hawking and laughter were intertwined.

There were stalls selling various exquisite jewelry, stalls selling strange and curious trinkets, and snack stalls emitting wafts of tempting aromas.

His eyes were wide, he looked left and right, his steps unconsciously slowed down, and he murmured, "This is a city in the mortal world... it's actually so prosperous."

Having lived in Caomiao Village since childhood and later cultivated on the mountain, he had never seen such a lively scene, and his heart was filled with shock and novelty.

Even Lu Xueqi's eyes were full of curiosity at this moment.

"Junior Sister, is the mortal world also wonderful in ways different from the mountain?"

Su Han looked at Lu Xueqi and smiled.

Lu Xueqi nodded, "Although it's lively, the mountain is still better in the end, more peaceful."

Su Han smiled and shook his head, "No wonder Junior Sister's cultivation is so high; it's not just because of talent, but also because you can endure loneliness."

He then turned and instructed everyone, "Let's go to Shanhai Courtyard first to try that Stewed Meiyu Fish, and we'll also stay there for the night."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Everyone agreed and walked towards the most famous inn in the city.

Soon.

Shanhai Courtyard, the largest and most prosperous restaurant in Heyang City, was clearly visible.

Looking at Shanhai Courtyard in the distance, Su Han suddenly felt a sense of anticipation in his heart, "I wonder if You Ji isn't here this time, will I be able to meet that girl in green?"
