Warren's Rise and Fall

Outside the Qingxuan Sect's Meritorious Hall, the sun shone on the quaint stone road, casting mottled shadows. Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan, who had just stepped out of the Meritorious Hall, were immersed in the excitement and anticipation of taking on the task, and were unaware of the upcoming conversation.

At this moment, the hurried footsteps of Elder Fang Yuheng broke the silence. He walked towards them quickly, his sleeves fluttering, and his expression showed a bit of urgency and seriousness. Elder Fang's eyes were like torches, and they instantly fell on the two of them, as if he could see through their thoughts.

"I heard from the new disciples that you accepted the mission from Su Qingfeng?" Elder Fang's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of questioning.

Upon seeing this, Yan Jinfan hurriedly saluted respectfully. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly. His eyes showed deep respect for the elder, and he said, "Hello, Elder Fang." His meticulous movements and sincere eyes showed his humility and courtesy.

Wang Lunwo also said respectfully: "Hello, Master, I really didn't expect that this matter would reach your ears so soon." He scratched his head, with a bit of surprise on his face. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"How dare you say that? Everyone knows that the task is extremely difficult, yet you took it on rashly. What will you do if you can't finish it?" Elder Fang frowned, his tone filled with blame, his tightly furrowed brows seemed to be twisted into a knot, his eyes were full of worry and helplessness.

"It's okay, Master. If we really can't find Su Qingfeng, we can just give up the mission." Wang Lunwo responded carelessly, with a nonchalant look on his face, as if he didn't take the matter to heart. He spread his hands and shrugged, his relaxed attitude in stark contrast to Elder Fang's seriousness.

"Then you are not fooling around. It doesn't matter if others laugh at you, but I'm afraid they will laugh at me." Elder Fang paused helplessly, and then said, "Forget it, since you, Wang Lunwo, have already become my disciple, I will give you some information. The last time Liu Feng was tracking down Su Qingfeng, he found out that he had appeared in Qingyuan Town. He waited there for more than two months, but there was no further news. Then he didn't want to waste time there anymore, so he simply came back and quit the mission." As Elder Fang spoke, he shook his head gently, as if he was a little helpless about Liu Feng's giving up.

"Thank you, Master!" Wang Lunwo's voice was particularly sweet, and his face was instantly filled with smiles, as if he had obtained some priceless treasure. His eyes narrowed into slits, and his joy was beyond words.

"Go ahead, you slick talker." Elder Fang waved his hand, speaking with a hint of disdain. The waving hand drew an arc in the air, as if to wave away the helplessness as well.

After Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan received the message, they trotted down the mountain gate like two happy little birds. On the mountain road, their footsteps were brisk and rhythmic, as if they were playing a piece of music full of hope.

"Brother Wang, why don't we go to Yangkai City first to ask where Qingyuan Town is? After all, we have just arrived in the southern region and are unfamiliar with the place." Yan Jinfan suggested. There was a hint of caution in his eyes, and he frowned slightly, thinking about the next itinerary.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, what you think is what I think in my heart. The nearest city to here is Yangkai City. If you want to inquire about information, it's the best place to go." Wang Lunwo paused, "But the day before yesterday, Elder Fang took us to fly here, and it seemed that the distance was not very close." He raised his head and looked into the distance, as if recalling the way he came, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"How about this, Brother Wang, I have reached the Nascent Soul stage, so flying is no problem for me. How about you get on my back, and I will carry you on my back to fly in the sky." Yan Jinfan said seriously, his eyes full of confidence, as if this was a great idea.

Wang Lunwo felt something was odd after hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Yan, can't your sword be used for flying?" He looked at Yan Jinfan in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"Brother Wang, that's true, but I have never tried flying with a sword, so I'm afraid of something going wrong. If I suddenly fall from the sky, I'll be fine as I can fly on my own, but what will you do, Brother Wang?" Yan Jinfan explained with a worried look on his face. He didn't want to put Wang Lunwo in danger because of his own mistake.

"Forget it, forget it. Just carry me and fly into the sky." Wang Lunwo was also quite helpless. He sighed and shook his head, but there was no better way at the moment.

Just like that, Yan Jinfan carried Wang Lunwo on his back and flew into the sky. At that moment, their figures looked particularly strange among the blue sky and white clouds. Yan Jinfan gathered his strength, and the spiritual power surged around him, slowly taking Wang Lunwo into the sky. His face was a little solemn, after all, flying with a person on his back was also a challenge for him, but his eyes revealed determination, and he must bring Wang Lunwo safely to Yangkai City.

Wang Lunwo lay on Yan Jinfan's back, feeling both excited and nervous. He looked at the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate, which was gradually getting smaller, and felt a lot of emotions. The breeze blew across their faces, bringing a hint of coolness.

At this moment, the Qingxuan Sect disciples in the mountain gate were shocked when they saw this scene.

"The way those two are flying is so strange." A disciple said with wide eyes, pointing at them in the sky.

"Yes, why can't two of them ride on the same flying sword?" Another disciple echoed, his face full of confusion.

"Looking at the appearance, it seems that they are two men. It's really scary." A female disciple covered her mouth and chuckled, but there was a bit of curiosity in her eyes.

Everyone was talking about it, and laughter was heard. When Elder Fang Yuheng saw this, his face turned red, and he muttered to himself, "I have to hide quickly, otherwise the other elders will find out that one of them is my disciple, and they will laugh their heads off." As he thought, he turned around and walked towards a secluded corner, his hurried footsteps seemed to be avoiding something.

Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan, who were flying in the air, did not know that they had become a hot topic of discussion in Qingxuan Sect. They focused on the road ahead, with only the distant Yangkai City in their eyes. The sun shone on them, outlining a strange and hopeful picture. They moved slowly in the sky. Although the way of flying was strange, their hearts were full of expectations for the unknown. They flew towards the direction of Yangkai City to explore the clues about Qingyuan Town where Su Qingfeng was, and start their new round of adventure in the southern region.

As they gradually moved away from Qingxuan Sect, the scenery below was constantly changing. The mountains were undulating, the trees were shady, and the river was winding. They seemed to be in a huge painting, and they themselves were two small dots in this painting.

After Yan Jinfan carried Wang Lunwo on his back and flew in the sky for a while, he gradually felt a little tired. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead and his breathing became rapid.

"Brother Wang, I may need to take a rest. Flying with you on my back is really a bit tiring." Yan Jinfan said while panting.

"Okay, Brother Yan, thank you for your hard work. Let's find a place to land." Wang Lunwo said with concern.

They landed on an open meadow. The grass was soft like a carpet, and wild flowers were blooming all around, colorful and emitting bursts of fragrance. Yan Jinfan sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

"It seems that my practice is not enough. I am so tired after flying such a short distance with you on my back." Yan Jinfan said self-deprecatingly.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, you are already very capable. I believe that after we find Su Qingfeng and complete the mission, our cultivation will be further improved." Wang Lunwo encouraged, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

After a short rest, they set out on their journey again. This time, Yan Jinfan adjusted his state and flew more steadily. They flew through the sky, and white clouds passed by them, as if seeing them off.

Finally, as the sun was about to set, they saw the outline of Yanggae City in the distance. The tall walls of Yanggae City looked particularly magnificent in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the flags on the city gates fluttered in the wind.

"Brother Wang, we are almost at Yangkai City!" Yan Jinfan said excitedly.

"Great! We're finally here." Wang Lunwo responded excitedly.

They sped up and flew towards Yangkai City. As they got closer, the prosperous scene of Yangkai City gradually appeared before their eyes. The streets were crowded with cars and pedestrians, and there were many shops and shouts.

They landed at the city gate, collected their spiritual power, tidied their clothes, and then walked towards the city. They looked around curiously, their hearts full of novelty.

"Let's find an inn to stay in first, and then go and inquire about the news in Qingyuan Town." Wang Lunwo said.

"Okay, Brother Wang." Yan Jinfan nodded in agreement.

They found an inn in the city and asked for two rooms. After putting their luggage in place, they came to the lobby of the inn and asked the waiter about the location of Qingyuan Town.

"Waiter, do you know where Qingyuan Town is?" Wang Lunwo asked.

"Sir, Qingyuan Town is in the south of the city, a bit far from here, about two or three hundred miles away. And it's quite remote. What are you going to do there, sir?" the waiter asked curiously.

"We have some things to deal with there. Thank you, waiter." Yan Jinfan said with a smile.

After learning the location of Qingyuan Town, they decided to set off early the next morning. At night, Wang Lunwo lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He was thinking about this mission, wondering what was waiting for them ahead. Yan Jinfan was in another room, quietly practicing, preparing for the next journey.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan got up early. They packed up briefly, ate something, and then left the inn and headed towards Qingyuan Town. Their figures seemed particularly firm in the morning light, full of the spirit of exploring the unknown, and continued their adventure in the southern region.
