Chapter 523: Chapter 305: Righteous Army Marches on the Valkyrie Golden Palace
Let him be the first one up, impossible. If I had known, I would have said give everything to him to exploit, they just watch, pfft, won’t even look.
At this moment, Duan Yun’s voice echoed hauntingly — "From now on, our team must adhere to ’righteousness’."
"Huh?"
Hong Mingtian felt the term "righteousness" was novel.
We are people of the Martial World, entering a secret Fairy Cave to find the fairy, talking about righteousness?
Righteousness is something only the weak without power to resist would mention.
Or, there was a time when there was a very special academy, called the Two-story Academy, where people would listen when they talked about righteousness.
This was because the academy had a very special teacher, leading a group of powerful students. If someone didn’t listen to their righteousness talk, they would tear the person in half and smash their head into their body.
That could be said to be the darkest period in the Martial World.
As top fighters of the Martial World, they could neither exploit nor kill, which was even more unbearable than being exploited.
Unfortunately, they had to endure because that teacher’s skill was indeed better than a two-story building.
Until later, when the teacher grew old, a group of masters ambushed and killed him, and the Two-story Academy was almost eradicated. The Martial World once again saw the light of dawn.
This master in front of us is talking about ’righteousness’ again, could he be the disciple of that teacher?
One can only say the world is in chaos, even such evil demons have resurfaced in the Martial World.
Evil demons like that teacher were finally torn into several pieces by masters, with each piece buried separately across the land for true satisfaction.
And this evil demon before us dares to bring up such things again, he will definitely meet a more tragic end then.
No matter how formidable you are, can you be as powerful as that evil teacher?
But these are words for later. Currently, he is not a match for this evil demon.
Righteousness it is then.
Coming out from behind the tree, Elder Hong Mingtian continued to maintain his proud elder demeanor.
Later, he seized an opportunity to express his views on ’righteousness’, telling everyone to adhere to it.
Those from Red Tower Mountain, upon hearing, only felt Elder Hong was acting strangely?
We are not evil demons or wrongdoers, why talk about righteousness?
Seeing they were about to reach the Fairy Cave, their pants were ready to come off, and you tell us not to exploit or kill?
Of course, this crowd only dared to be angry but dared not speak, for Hong Mingtian was now the leader.
Yet when they reached that village and faced that situation, everyone became restless and uncontrolled.
How, could you possibly punish everyone?
Afterwards, this ’Righteous Army’ continued their journey.
According to what Duan Yun heard from Hong Mingtian, in just one more day, they would reach the Fairy Cave.
On the road, the marks previously left by Red Tower Mountain began to appear.
Along the way, they occasionally entered those deep, mountainous, old forests.
In the forest, roots and vines intertwined like snakes, and there were even real snakes.
Even with the Blood Life Smoke leading the way, someone still got bitten by a venomous snake and was poisoned.
In such cases, amputation is often required.
With Duan Yun the Divine Doctor there, naturally, there was no need for amputation.
But thinking about how these people had previously intended to exploit and kill in that village, he didn’t really treat them, dismissing them with a single word: "Amputate."
Yes, an Inner Sect Disciple who originally didn’t need to amputate, had to undergo amputation too.
Because after the amputation, someone said the snake that bit him was not venomous.
The Inner Sect Disciple stood there on one leg, shocked: "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
The person stammered: "I didn’t see clearly at the time, only just confirmed it."
Five men were lost along the way, casting a shadow over the team.
This was the price of entering the Golden Mountain in the summer.
Duan Yun had to admit, Red Tower Mountain’s Blood Life Smoke was quite something.
If it weren’t for this thing, more than half of these people would have died or been wounded here.
In this deep, mountainous, old forest, venomous snakes were the least of problems. Those poisonous mosquitoes and insects, small and numerous, were even deadlier, hard to fend off.
After all, not everyone can, like him, emit Sword Qi to slash mosquitoes and insects.
At dusk, the remnants of the setting sun cast a bloody veil over the forest.
The sky was gradually turning dark, yet they still hadn’t walked out of the forest.
And the night here would be even more dangerous.
At this moment, someone ahead shouted: "Peach Blossom!"
"That’s the peach blossom forest!"
Seeing the peach blossoms, it meant they were close.
The originally oppressive atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
Duan Yun and Ziyu were amazed when they saw the peach blossom forest.
Although they had read the "Taoist Garden" since childhood, at this moment, seeing the peach blossom forest blooming passionately under the sunset with petals falling everywhere, they realized the real scenery was so captivating.
Here, their entire body and mind felt a sense of relaxation and warmth, forming a stark contrast with the previous sinister and terrifying mountain forest.
Very soon, someone ahead discovered the Fairy Cave.
The Fairy Cave was right on the mountain wall behind the peach forest. Honestly, from here, it really did resemble a fairy’s formation.
Ziyu had already noticed this and couldn’t help but remark, "Could it be that a fairy did live here in the past, planting this forest and creating such a cave?"
Duan Yun couldn’t help joking, "You mean the cave is a mold of the fairy?"
"What mold?" Ziyu didn’t understand and asked puzzled.
Afterwards, the group couldn’t wait to enter the cave.
They had traveled in the mountains for so long, tired and hungry, and frightened, now eager to rest in Taoyuan.
Especially those outer sect disciples who smoked Blood Life Smoke, feeling severely depleted of vitality, urgently needed rest.
Duan Yun and Ziyu walked slowly toward the cave entrance, smelling the peach blossom fragrance.
Walking shoulder to shoulder in this environment with falling petals, they looked both like siblings and like a couple.
At this moment, Ziyu unexpectedly took Duan Yun’s arm.
Duan Yun was puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"In this scene, what’s wrong with a sister and brother appreciating it together?" Ziyu said flirtatiously.
"Qingyu, you woke up really early," Duan Yun remarked.
"What, you missed my sister? Actually, you can consider me your sister, I wouldn’t mind," Ziyu teased.
Duan Yun ignored her and had already entered the cave.
Now, Qingyu couldn’t hold onto him.
Since the cave started off very narrow, just wide enough for a person.
After walking dozens of steps, it suddenly opened up.
Just like the Inner Sect disciple who first found this place described, in front of them was a hidden paradise.
The houses were orderly, and the paths crisscrossed.
At dusk, children were playing under the peach trees next to the houses, and old people were feeding chickens. There were also pretty young women gathering clothes and cooking in the kitchen.
Amidst the curling smoke, it was an extremely beautiful scene.
Witnessing this, especially the pretty young women, the group from Red Tower Mountain rushed over as if they were soldiers entering a village.
"Damn righteous army!" Seeing this, Duan Yun cursed.
The villagers, seeing so many outsiders arriving, enthusiastically invited them to join in for a meal.
An old village chief warmly said, "It’s been a long time since so many guests have come here."
In the village, there was an atmosphere of joy, just like during the New Year.
Elder Hong Mingyu saw his people getting out of control, broke into a sweat, and hurriedly busied himself to stop them.
If righteousness wasn’t upheld here, things could really go wrong.
Some Inner Sect disciples already started acting impolitely, yet the young women here seemed quite unruffled, even teasing them back.
This demeanor reminded Duan Yun of the Women Kingdom in "Journey to the West."
In the Women Kingdom, even Pigsy was welcomed.
This was indeed an atmosphere filled with joy and harmony, yet Duan Yun felt something was not quite right.
This group of people seemed just like the kind, hospitable ones described in the "Taoist Garden."
But it was this kind of warm hospitality that felt off.
Here, whether male or female, young or old, they all appeared too innocent.
In this world, someone as pure and simple as Young Hero Duan was rare, yet this group seemed even more so.
It was because they were overly pure that it gave off a sense of falsity.
It made one feel these people were all fake.
Once this thought arose, it brought a chilling feeling.
At this time, an Inner Sect disciple expressed his liking for a young woman’s bottom, and she actually lifted her bottom for him to look, even asking if it looked good.
Duan Yun couldn’t help but ask Qingyu, "What do you think?"
Qingyu replied, "What do I think? Of course, I look with professional eyes."
"Tell me about it."
At this moment, Duan Yun wanted to hear a professional opinion.
"This young woman has a standard peach-shaped bottom, similar to mine. Her glutes are firm and powerful, probably formed naturally along with frequent labor, only slightly inferior to mine. It can indeed be called ’top-grade.’"
Duan Yun did not expect her to be this professional, and said, "This ’top-grade’ is slightly inferior to you, so what grade would you be?"
"Divine grade," Qingyu said with a serious face.
Shit!
