Not long after, the group began their journey again. The purpose of this time's inspection department was to protect Jun Linyue while secretly searching for some information regarding the sects. However, after such a long time had passed, other than the fact that the Mysterious Sky Sect had brazenly come to the Black Tortoise Mansion, no other reason had been found. At the same time, it was time for the two of them to meet.
However, the unexpected thing was that Jun Lin Yue had given up his position as Marquis of Black Tortoise and decided to follow them to the Monitoring Division.
After passing through countless clouds and rain, the sky had become clear. The sun in the west had already dyed the sky red, leaving behind only willow trees floating in the wind. In the evening, they stopped on a patch of sand and started a bonfire.
Jun Lin Yue walked down and sat down for a day. His body was stiff, so he paced up and down by the river, stretching his muscles and bones. At this time, the red sun on the horizon dyed the river red and made it sparkle. The trees, stones, people and the beach all turned red.
Jun Lin Yue's heart was calm as he stared at the setting sun, not saying a word. At this moment, he heard someone walking over from behind him. Therefore, he said, "Stay a while longer."
Salin smiled. "No problem." After we pass the small city in front of us, we will be leaving the Azure Province. " He saw through the Black Tortoise's thoughts and purposely said, "This place is quite a distance away from Black Tortoise City."
"I know." Jun Linyue turned around. "Is there anything else to eat?" Before he could finish his sentence, the smell of roasting meat came from the other side. Jun Linyue smiled, "You guys really know how to enjoy yourselves."
Salin followed. He saw Feng Yu arrogantly roasting the rabbit meat with some seasonings. There were two bonfires, and on the other side of the bonfire, a group of servants and coachmen were gathered together, drinking and eating meat, talking and laughing as if they didn't care about the two adults on their side at all.
Salin, Feng Yu, and Jun Lanyue sat down around the bonfire.
Jun Lanyue said, "Both of you are Martial Kings with such high levels of cultivation, why are you still in the Monitoring Division and not directly heading to the Great Yang?"
"Master Hou, you don't know." Feng Yu did not care about whether the two people had eaten or not, but he gnawed on a rabbit leg and said, "The Great Central Committee has a strict mechanism for transferring troops. Martial kings are a basic requirement in cultivation, but not all martial king experts are directly responsible for the Great Yang Empire."
Jun Lin Yue asked curiously, "Hm?" There was still a mechanism? "What mechanism?" At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Master Hou, if we knew, we would have entered the imperial court long ago!"
Jun Lin Yue laughed as well, as the three of them conversed. Unknowingly, the sun had already disappeared, and the stars and moon had already risen into the night sky. After the three had eaten their fill, Jun Lin Yue said, "Let's go." "I can't wait to meet Lord Zuo Si of the Monitoring Division headquarters, I'm already itching to meet him!"
Thus, the two stood up, pushed out the bonfire, and used the river to extinguish it before entering the carriage once more. After the horses finished eating, they were almost asleep under the tree. At this time, they were woken up by a few people. They looked into the distance and knew that they were about to leave. They shouted in a low voice.
It was cold on the way. The lampstand on the official road was useless. It had been used for many years, and almost no one had bothered to manage it. Fortunately, the moonlight and the lantern in the groom's hand illuminated the path of the night. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Jun Lin Yue was half reclining in the carriage, swaying off to sleep.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the horses began to whine. Jun Lin Yue woke up from his sleep and opened the small window. It was already dark outside. Only now did he realize that he had already left the Azure Province and was at the border between the He Province and the Yong Province, which was also the headquarters of the Monitoring Division.
Lights were brightly lit here. The headquarters was set up in front of a mountain, one-third of it was built. The remaining two-thirds had already gone deep into the heart of the mountain. In front of the headquarters of the Supervising Division, there were sixteen floors, each of which was a bit narrower than the first floor. The eaves rose up to the sides, and the jade roof flew up to the sides.
Salin and Feng Yu stopped the carriage in front of the door. The three of them got off the carriage. At this time, the armored general took a step forward with a sonorous and forceful sound. The wind from the mountain blew across the valley, causing people to feel a chill run down their spines.
The general said, "Generals, the Superintendent has already been waiting for a long time. When he found out that you were coming back, he specially arranged for me to come here to pick you up."
Salin raised his hand and said, "It's been hard on you. "Oh right, the former Marquis of Xuanwu, Lord Lin Yue, is here as well. You should go inform him!" After speaking, he extended his palm and introduced Jun Linyue.
The general had a beard on his face, but it was sharp and distinct. He was a bit surprised, but he cupped his hands in a casual manner and said, "Greetings, Master Hou. I'll go notify him right away."
In comparison to Sharlyn and Feng Yu, Jun Lanyue didn't have such a tall and sturdy figure, appearing to be insignificant between the three of them. However, this did not arouse the contempt or disrespect from the general who was walking away. Naturally, Jun Lanyue didn't take this matter to heart either.
Even if he was the former Marquis of Xuanwu, he was still a duke after all. No one dared to deny this point. And Chief Officer Zuo Si of the Surveillance Division didn't dare do anything to him.
After standing there for a while, the mountain peaks on both sides of the road were shrouded by the night sky. They looked like a huge dragon claw, covering a large area of land in front of them.
The more Jun Lin looked up, the more he felt as if the world was spinning around him. At the end of the path, there was a line of crack, but the further down he went, the wider it became. As for the wall facing the entrance, it was even more craggy. There was a huge rock hanging down from the ground above Jun Lanyue's head. The several people standing there were like ants.
To be able to construct such a grand palace on such a steep mountain, this person must be close to a god. But it is clear that one cannot accomplish such a feat. While waiting, Jun Lanyue took a good look at the layout of this place. Although there were large exits on both sides, there were also heavy soldiers guarding the exits.
At this moment, from that direction, the mountain fog began to blow. The lantern light reflected the slowly drifting fog, like demons and devils, slowly approaching.
At this time, a person wearing a reddish-brown robe and a tall hat walked out and said, "You three, please come in."
Jun Lin Yue glanced at the two of them, and both of them nodded, indicating that Jun Lin Yue should leave first. Thus, Jun Lin Yue followed after him, stepping out.
