Flying Clouds in Another World

The Miyun Mountains are located in Luzhou, the central region of the Chen Dynasty, the ninth dynasty of the Tianyou Empire. It covers an area of ​​more than a thousand square li (note: one kilometer is two li and one square kilometer is four square li). Although its extension area is not too large and the mountains are not too high, it is exceptionally tall and majestic against the backdrop of the surrounding plains of tens of thousands of square li.

Below the highest peak of the Miyun Mountains, a great river runs across the north of the empire, nearly ten thousand miles from east to west, rushing past, and after another thousand miles, it flows into the thousands of miles of waves in the east;

The Grand Canal, which runs across the empire from north to south, also intersects here.

Deep in the Miyun Mountains, there are rich veins of crystals. Although it is difficult to mine, the overflowing spiritual energy fills the world, making this place particularly suitable for cultivators to practice. Before the establishment of the first dynasty of the empire, there were already cultivators who founded a sect here. After thousands of years of sedimentation and integration, the sect named Miyun was founded more than a thousand years ago and has developed into one of the top ten sects in the empire.

The Miyun Sect's sect occupies a vast area, with dozens of peaks in the mountains where disciples are stationed. There are no less than a thousand disciples in the sect, not including the servants who serve them. There are no less than tens of thousands of disciples who have left the sect and are scattered in various countries in the East Continent. Some of them join the government to work for the court, some set up branches of the sect, some enter wealthy families as guards, and some join or even establish gangs and sects, which constantly demonstrates the huge influence of the Miyun Sect.

At the intersection of the Grand Canal and Qushui, a prosperous city was formed, named Huishui. Huishui City was located at the intersection of two major waterways and was close to Miyun Sect, one of the ten major martial arts sects. It was extremely prosperous and had a permanent population of more than 100,000, making it the capital of a county.

In the early morning, just after daybreak, before the city gates were opened, there were already people waiting inside and outside the city gates. The captain of the gate looked at the people waiting for the gates to open, and then gave a speech to his dozens of subordinates: "Brothers! Keep your eyes open! Although the oil level here is not as high as that at the dock, it is different recently, and it will only increase, not decrease. But whether we can get this oil depends on our ability."

"In the past, only one team of five people was enough to guard the city gate, but recently the whole team has to come! Why is that? It's because the Miyun Sect is about to open the mountain gate once every three years! Now many martial artists are rushing to our Huishui City, and there are also many dignitaries and wealthy merchants. These people are not like ordinary people and merchants. If you don't handle them well, something bad will happen. Of course, if you handle them well, you can get a lot of money. In a word, the common people can be bullied, martial artists should be avoided, the rich are the masters, and you can ask for rewards by tricks! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" "Don't worry, Captain!" "The brothers all know what to do!"

The soldiers guarding the city all responded in unison.

The captain nodded in satisfaction and shouted, "Okay! Follow my orders and open the city gates!"

As time went by, fewer and fewer people left the city, and more and more people entered the city, especially the number of martial artists carrying various weapons and the nobles and wealthy who rode horses and carriages increased significantly.

The soldiers guarding the city mostly ignored those who practiced martial arts, but as for the rich and powerful, as long as they stopped at the city gate, they would greet them with a smile and ask if there was anything they could do for them. They would often receive a reward, which made them very happy.

At this time, another team of carriages and horses came from a distance and soon arrived at the city gate. Coincidentally, at this time, several riders in the city also wanted to leave the city. The two teams met at the city gate, but no one wanted to give way, and they were stuck for a while and blocked the city gate.

The captain of the gate guard suddenly looked unhappy. Huishui City is a large city with more than 100,000 households. The city walls are tall and thick, and the city gate alone is several feet long. The team entering the city first entered the city gate and had already walked most of the way, with only less than ten feet left to go out, but the few people leaving the city refused to give way and wanted the team entering the city to retreat. In fact, if it were ordinary people, they could barely move towards each other by squeezing together, but it was obvious that both sides were not ordinary people. They refused to give way to each other and were fighting for momentum.

"It's difficult!" The captain of the gate guard naturally recognized that the people leaving the city were wearing the standard clothes of the Miyun Sect, and the clothes of one of them showed that this person had a certain status in the Miyun Sect. Although the team of carriages entering the city only had a few horses, the knights on the horses were also martial artists.

The captain of the gate was also a martial artist, and he was already at the third level. Although he was not a top-notch expert, not even a third- or fourth-rate one, he still had the right vision. Judging from the aura deliberately emitted by the knights guarding the carriage, their cultivation was not inferior to his.

"The knights guarding the carriage alone are all martial artists above the third level of the warrior realm. This is not something that an ordinary wealthy family can afford! And the leader of the Miyun Sect is clearly wearing the clothes of a captain of the Law Enforcement Hall! Both sides are not easy to mess with! We can only persuade, not stop!" The captain of the gate made up his mind and walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Oh my! What's going on? Everyone! Listen to my advice, don't get angry. There is nothing that cannot be discussed properly!" The goalkeeper captain saluted to both parties and said with a smile.

Someone from the Miyun Sect said, "We are from the Miyun Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. This is our Captain Xu Weiying. Captain Xu is leading us out of the city on a business trip. We have something important to attend to. Why don't you let them leave quickly and clear the way!"

"Wow! Such great authority! Miyun Sect! Law Enforcement Hall! And Captain Xu! Do you think you are officials of the Empire? You are actually ordering the imperial army around! So impressive!" A sweet girl's voice came, and the captain of the gate realized that one of the knights guarding the carriage was actually a woman dressed as a man. Looking at the expressions of the other knights, they seemed to respect her. This girl is naturally Liu Qianqian, the eldest sister of the protagonist of this book, Liu Feiyun.

Liu Qianqian continued, "First come, first served, this is the customary rule. The city gate is several feet long. We came in first and were about to leave, but you asked us to go back first. What's the logic? Even though the Miyun Sect is outside Huishui City, the people of the Miyun Sect cannot be so arrogant!"

"Hmph! You acted in an emergency and delayed our important mission! Are you able to bear the responsibility? I don't know where these bumpkins came from. You have no sense at all. You are just a few small monks, yet you dare to compete with us for the road! How ridiculous! Why don't you retreat quickly!" Xu Weiying said coldly.

Liu Qianqian immediately responded sharply: "Tsk! Who do you think you are? You are just a small captain of the Law Enforcement Hall! What's so great about you! So what if we don't retreat! You are the ones who should give in!"
