Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 291 Qianzhou
Jiang Yue stood in front of the mysterious barrier. His aura was restrained, yet he faintly exuded an awe-inspiring power.

He slowly raised his hand, and the token in his hand emitted a faint light, as if echoing with the mysterious power between heaven and earth.

In this quiet atmosphere, Jiang Yue looked determined and threw the token in his hand towards the barrier without hesitation.

In an instant, the token drew a graceful arc in the air, and then collided with the barrier, bursting out with a dazzling light.

With the flicker of light, the originally indestructible barrier was instantly torn open, as if a door to an unknown world had opened out of thin air.

The light and shadow flowed in the door, mysterious and alluring.

Jiang Yue didn't hesitate at all. He flashed and stepped into the door formed by the barrier.

There was a mixture of light and shadow, and the space was distorted. When he could see the surrounding scene clearly again, he had already arrived in Qianzhou.

Unlike the previous time when he hurriedly passed by here on a huge airship, this time he came alone.

If it were any other time, Jiang Yue would definitely appreciate the unique scenery of Qianzhou. The mountains in the distance were rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a beautiful painting.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yue had no interest in appreciating the scenery. The news of Yunzhou's emergency kept lingering in his mind, and every minute and every second seemed extremely precious.

The people of Yunzhou are in dire straits. The situation there is precarious, and every moment of delay may lead to more people suffering.

He was fully aware of the heavy responsibility he shouldered and that he had to race against time to return to Yunzhou as soon as possible and contribute his strength to protecting Yunzhou.

So Jiang Yue just took a quick glance at the surrounding environment and quickly walked out of the barrier.

Jiang Yue's mind moved, and the blood in his body surged out like a surging tide, gathering at his fingertips and pushing hard into the void.

In an instant, a bright light bloomed from his palm, and in the light, the portal to the Immortal Ruins slowly emerged. The portal exuded a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, and runes flickered, as if connecting to another mysterious world.

Jiang Yue's eyes were fixed on the portal, and his consciousness quickly penetrated into it like an invisible thread, establishing a wonderful connection with the White Dragon Horse sleeping deep in the Immortal God Ruins. His consciousness shuttled through the Immortal God Ruins, constantly calling the White Dragon Horse's name, with unquestionable majesty and urgency in his voice.

In the depths of that distant space, the originally sleeping white dragon horse seemed to feel the call of its master and suddenly opened its eyes, with a lively light flashing in its eyes.

It neighed loudly, the sound shaking the Immortal God Ruins, then it kicked its four hooves and rushed towards the gate of the Immortal God Ruins like a white lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the white dragon horse passed through the light and appeared in front of Jiang Yue.

It has a sturdy body and is snow-white. The scales on its body sparkle in the sunlight, like a fine work of art. Its huge wings open slightly, bringing up a gust of wind, and its mane flutters in the wind, showing its majestic appearance.

Jiang Yue looked at the white dragon horse in front of him, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward, jumped onto the horse swiftly, and sat steadily on the horse's back.

Jiang Yue held the reins tightly with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and said softly: "It will be convenient to see you in the future. I can summon you at will. Maybe I can catch you by surprise..."

The white dragon horse seemed to understand what he said and neighed again, its voice full of fighting spirit and determination.

Jiang Yue's mind moved, and he conveyed his intention to Bai Jiao Ma.

In an instant, the white dragon horse galloped towards the wilderness like an arrow.

Its four hooves moved alternately and rapidly on the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and leaving only a vague white afterimage wherever it passed.

In the wilderness, the wind was howling, and the figure of the white dragon horse was like a flash of lightning, quickly shuttling across the vast land.

Jiang Yue sat on the horse, wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, with his sleeves fluttering.

The next ten days passed like a flash of lightning, fleeting, dull and hurried.

Jiang Yue rode on the back of the white dragon horse, like a gust of wind, galloping forward on this long journey. The scenery along the way passed by quickly like a revolving lantern. Mountains, rivers, forests, and wastelands were just a fleeting background on his way home.

Along the way, you may occasionally encounter some unruly demons, hiding in the depths of the forest or in dark corners, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

But as long as they are caught by Jiang Yue's keen perception, they are doomed to a tragic fate. Whenever a demon appears, Jiang Yue's eyes instantly become as sharp as a knife, and the blood in his body surges like a huge wave.

He flashed and jumped off the white dragon horse, the magic weapon in his hand shone brightly, carrying the power of destroying the world, and slashed at the demons. Under Jiang Yue's powerful attack, those demons had no power to fight back, and could only let out a series of shrill screams, and in an instant they were reduced to ashes.

After dealing with the monster, Jiang Yue quickly got on his horse and continued on his journey, as if the battle just now was just a small episode.

As for the traveling merchants he met on the way, Jiang Yue avoided them all.

He knew very well that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving Yunzhou. Every minute and every second was extremely precious. He really had no extra time and energy to greet and communicate with them.

He just watched the traveling merchants from a distance, then urged his white dragon horse to gallop past them, leaving behind a blurry afterimage.

During the journey, Jiang Yue did not slack off at all. He knew that cultivation was like sailing against the current, if you did not advance, you would retreat.

Therefore, he often found a secluded place, sat cross-legged, circulated the Qi and blood in his body, and immersed himself in cultivation. His consciousness traveled deep in the sea of ​​​​knowledge, constantly comprehending the laws of the great way between heaven and earth, trying to break through his own limits.

At the same time, he would summon Xuntian and Xiaotian, the eagle and the dog. Xuntian spread his wings and soared in the sky, with a nimble figure and sharp eyes, constantly showing his increasingly powerful flying ability and hunting skills; Xiaotian ran happily on the ground, exuding vigorous power, and every jump was full of vitality.

Jiang Yue quietly observed their growth and felt very pleased. He gave them some guidance and training from time to time to help them improve their strength.

Just like that, during these ordinary yet fulfilling ten days, Jiang Yue raced against time to travel and practice.

The white dragon horse ran tirelessly, and the sound of its hooves echoed on the earth, as if playing a passionate war song.

When the sun shone on the earth on the tenth day, Jiang Yue looked back, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. In just ten days, he had already left behind tens of thousands of miles. If Jiang Yue did not need to stop to practice on the way, and focused on the journey, with the speed of the white dragon horse, I am afraid that by now he would have crossed many mountains and rivers, passed through countless cities, and arrived in Lizhou.

Although Lizhou is a long way from here, it can be reached in a flash with the full gallop of the White Dragon Horse.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he also understood that cultivation was the top priority. Only when his own strength was strong could he play a greater role in the upcoming Yunzhou crisis.

So, he adjusted his mentality slightly and immersed himself in cultivation again, while the white dragon horse continued to run tirelessly towards the distant goal.

Jiang Yue rode on the white dragon horse, looking at the Qianzhou City gradually receding in front of him, and suddenly hesitantly arose in his heart. "Should I go and say goodbye to the Qianzhou general and my senior brother Yuan Gang..."

This thought kept circling in his mind, making him hesitate for a moment.

Although Yang Jingchu, the general of Qianzhou, did not have much contact with Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue always remembered that Yang Jingchu had met his master Xu Chong once.

Although the encounter was brief, it left a deep impression on Yang Jingchu. After that, Yang Jingchu also took care of Jiang Yue. His daily advice and help helped Jiang Yue avoid many detours on the road of cultivation.

Now I am leaving in a hurry without even saying goodbye, which is really rude.

Not to mention Senior Brother Yuan Gang. The two of them were from the same master, practiced together, grew up together, and had a deep friendship.

During the years of cultivation, Yuan Gang always took care of Jiang Yue like a brother, taught him the experience and skills of cultivation, and always lent a hand when Jiang Yue encountered difficulties. Now that he was leaving, Jiang Yue always felt empty in his heart if he didn't meet his senior brother.

However, when Jiang Yue's thoughts gradually calmed down, he realized that this moment did not seem to be a good time.

People in the capital may not know that he has left quietly, and the ceremony of rewarding him has not yet been completed.

If he left without saying anything, he might be charged with a crime of disrespect. After all, according to the rules, he had not even received the reward, which was undoubtedly a contempt for the court in the eyes of others.

Moreover, if Senior Brother Yuan Gang knew about this, given his personality, it would be troublesome if he also followed suit.

Unlike Jiang Yue, who is the inspector of Yunzhou and has a special mission, Yuan Gang is now working in Qianzhou and has his own responsibilities and mission.

If Yuan Gang ignored his position and went to Yunzhou with him because of his own affairs, it would be unreasonable in terms of both reason and law. Once someone with ulterior motives caught him, it would probably bring Yuan Gang a lot of trouble.

Jiang Yue sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness and entanglement.

He turned slightly on his horse, took one last look at the familiar city, and silently said in his heart:
"General, Brother, it's not that I don't want to say goodbye to you, it's just that the situation forces me to do so. When I resolve the crisis in Yunzhou, I will definitely come back to chat with you."

"Oh, and Uncle San..."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Yue quickly calmed down.

Time passed quickly like running water. In the past few days, Jiang Yue's life was simple yet fulfilling.

He rode on the back of the white dragon horse, rushing along the long road, racing against time every moment. He held tightly in his hand the secret book of killing techniques obtained from the treasure house, and in the intervals between the journeys, he took every opportunity to study.

Those obscure words and complex and mysterious patterns gradually became clear under his focused gaze, and he also understood the subtleties contained in them bit by bit.

As Jiang Yue's study of the killing method deepened, his eyes became sharper and the aura around him also quietly changed.

He seemed to be integrated with the secret book in his hand, repeatedly reciting the application of various killing methods in his mind, and every movement and every effort was carefully considered by him. During this seemingly peaceful journey, Jiang Yue's strength was improving at an astonishing speed.

Finally, on a sunny morning, when Jiang Yue slowly opened his eyes from his practice, he found that the white dragon horse had carried him to the border of Qianzhou.

In the distance, the iconic boundary marker flashed a cool light in the sun, announcing that they were about to leave this familiar land. Jiang Yue looked at the boundary marker in front of him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, with both reluctance to leave Qianzhou and expectations for the future.

Looking back on this journey, Jiang Yue was filled with emotion. In terms of speed, this return trip was much faster than the trip here. On the way here, he was tasked with escorting the people, which made his movements difficult, and the speed of the White Dragon Horse was also greatly limited.

Now, without these restraints, the White Dragon Horse seemed to be a beast that had broken free from its shackles, releasing its speed to its heart's content. Its four hooves flew like flying, breaking through the wind's obstacles, and every step was filled with endless power.

Jiang Yue gently patted the white dragon horse's neck, his eyes full of admiration. "Old buddy, thanks to you, we were able to reach the border so quickly."

The white dragon horse seemed to understand what he said and neighed, its voice full of pride and excitement.

Looking at the vast land ahead, Jiang Yue secretly calculated in his heart. According to the current speed of the White Dragon Horse, crossing Lizhou would probably be even faster. Although Lizhou is a long way away, with the full-speed running of the White Dragon Horse, it will probably not take long to pass smoothly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue's eyes became more determined. He pulled the reins suddenly, and the white dragon horse understood. It neighed long and galloped towards Lizhou like a white lightning.

Jiang Yue stood at the border of Qianzhou, looking up at the long road leading to Lizhou, his heart filled with worry and concern about the unknown. "I don't know what's going on in Lizhou..."

He muttered to himself, but his voice was quickly carried away by the whistling wind and dissipated in the vast world.

The situation in Lizhou has always been a heavy stone in his heart. Ever since he heard that Yunzhou was in crisis, he couldn't help but think of the neighboring Lizhou, which must be facing a huge crisis at this moment.

Various scenes of Lizhou emerged involuntarily in his mind: bustling streets, lively crowds, ancient buildings... Is everything still safe and sound now?

Are the people suffering from the war, displaced and miserable? These thoughts kept coming to him like a tide, making him uneasy.

"Come to think of it... I am still the contemporary Holy Son of the Wushengmu Religion." Jiang Yue frowned slightly, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

This identity may have been just a distant and vague concept to him, but now in this turbulent situation, perhaps...

Can I make use of this identity?
