Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter 81 Lingjiu Palace

It's not far, but Shaolin Temple is located in the Songshan area, and it takes a long time to get to Piaomiao Peak in Tianshan.

Therefore, there was a saying in Bai Ke's previous life: "Travel is long, letters are slow, and a lifetime is only enough to love one person!"

This sounds poetic, but it actually refers to the inconvenience of transportation and the lack of safety on the road in the past.

Therefore, most people don't like to travel far, and sometimes it may take several months of long journeys to reach a slightly more distant place.

Fortunately, Bai Ke and his companions were all martial artists, making them much faster than ordinary people, and they were also accompanied by a group of martial arts masters.

There's no need to worry about highway robbers or anything like that, so it's not as exaggerated as it seems, like it will take several months to reach the Tianshan Mountains.

The battle at Shaoshi Mountain took place in the height of summer, and the group felt increasingly cooler as they traveled towards the Tianshan Mountains.

After walking for about seven or eight days, they reached the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Looking at the snow-capped peaks, Bai Ke felt refreshed and invigorated.

In my previous life, a scene like this would probably have been fenced off by the local government and turned into a tourist attraction charging admission. It wouldn't be as free and unrestricted as it is now.

In his previous life, he had also come to Tianshan with his friends, but at that time they came to soak in the Heavenly Pool at the top of Tianshan Mountain and never thought of going to Misty Peak to find Lingjiu Palace.

Now he could finally fulfill his dream of being an adventurer exploring hidden places, as the spiritual energy within his body intricately wove together to form a protective net around him.

The swirling snow swept past him as if encountering an invisible obstacle. Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Granny She, who were traveling with him, all looked at Bai Ke with considerable surprise.

They had already added a few layers of clothing to ward off the cold, but Bai Ke was still wearing only a single layer and seemed completely oblivious to the chill.

Qiao Feng couldn't help but clapp his hands in admiration, saying, "Brother Bai, your internal strength is so profound, and your method of circulating internal energy is also quite exquisite. May I ask which school you belong to?"

Qiao Feng was a straightforward and outspoken person, so he naturally asked questions when he had doubts. Everyone else also pricked up their ears to listen to what Bai Ke had to say.

This Bai Ke is mysterious, yet he always makes his moves with ease and casualness, which is truly astonishing. Bai Ke smiled slightly.

"These are just a few tricks, not worth mentioning. I don't deserve such praise from Brother Qiao. As for my sect, I can only say that it's in a place that cannot be spoken of. Please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he bowed apologetically to the people around him. Qiao Feng laughed heartily, "It's alright, it's alright. I was just asking casually. Brother Bai, there's no need for that."

As the group was talking, the disciples of Lingjiu Palace had already carried Master Xuanci out of the carriage.

After this dramatic change, Ye Erniang became extremely thin in a short period of time, but she still braved the wind and snow to stay by Xuan Ci's side, holding his hand tightly.

Xu Zhu felt a lump in his throat as he watched from behind. He wanted to go to the front and carry Ye Erniang on his back, but she refused and insisted on staying by Xuan Ci's side.

Left with no other choice, Xu Zhu could only stay by Ye Erniang's side, using his internal energy to help her resist the onslaught of wind and snow.

However, Xu Zhu alone could not withstand such a magnificent and vast force of nature. In less than half an hour, he was already running out of internal energy and his face turned pale.

Ye Erniang felt sorry for her child and was really worried about Xuan Ci. She kept waving her hand, trying to push away Xu Zhu who was by her side, but Xu Zhu, despite swaying, was still unwilling to abandon his mother.

Qiao Feng and Bai Ke took care of Xu Zhu's feelings of loving his mother and did not try to dissuade him. Instead, they did their best to share Xu Zhu's burden and help him get through the most difficult period.

Although Lingjiu Palace is located in the Misty Peak of Tianshan, it is not on a cold and towering snow mountain, but hidden in a small valley on the southern slope of Tianshan.

This canyon has a geographical advantage; the cold winds that come in are always blocked by the surrounding mountains, so it is warm and spring-like all year round in this place where snow and wind often fall.

On this day, the disciples of the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments under the Lingjiu Palace were cultivating as usual, but a noisy sound came from in front of the usually quiet Lingjiu Palace mountain gate.

When the disciple on guard opened the gate, he saw a group of weary travelers coming from afar, braving the wind and snow.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Mei Jianzhu Jian and the new palace master appointed by Grandma had arrived with a group of people.

They hurriedly opened the mountain gates wide and sent someone to the palace to inform the others and summon them to welcome the palace master. When Granny She saw that the palace gates were open, she quickly jumped away from the group and went to make arrangements.

Lingjiu Palace is located on Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain. It was founded by Tianshan Tonglao, a third-generation disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. It has nine departments under its jurisdiction, consisting of beautiful women. These are the direct departments of Lingjiu Palace.

In addition, there are numerous peripheral organizations surrounding Lingjiu Palace, including the Thirty-Six Islands and Seventy-Two Caves, as well as some small gangs like the Shennong Gang, totaling no less than several hundred.

The Heavenly Child Granny, who has long been stationed at Lingjiu Palace, can control the entire Central Plains and even small gangs along the southeast coast without ever leaving her residence.

It can be said that, apart from the Beggars' Sect and Shaolin Temple, Lingjiu Palace was the most powerful among the other martial arts forces.

Although she was renowned in the martial arts world, the area around Lingjiu Peak was very peaceful and quiet, and she had never experienced any bloodshed. This shows how powerful Tianshan Tonglao was.

Now, Xu Zhu is in charge of Lingjiu Palace. He defeated Ding Chunqiu, the Old Monster of Xingxiu, in the battle at Shaoshi Mountain a few days ago, making quite a splash.

Although he claimed to be a Shaolin disciple, he used the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect and Lingjiu Palace during the competition, which was clearly seen by all the martial arts heroes present.

Lingjiu Palace's martial arts have always been known for their mystery. Just as the disciples of Xingxiu Sect are skilled in using poison, Lingjiu Palace's disciples who go out to fight are famous for their unique Xuanbing Technique and Eagle Control Technique.

The art of eagle control refers to a large eagle on Misty Peak, also known as the Spirit Vulture, which is the origin of the name of the Spirit Vulture Palace.

Of course, what makes Lingjiu Palace so fearsome to all martial arts practitioners is its unique Life and Death Talisman.

This Life and Death Talisman was created by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny. It uses true energy to condense ice and plant it in the human body. Those who are affected suffer from unbearable itching and feel as if they are living a life worse than death.

There are countless rumors about Lingjiu Palace, such as its disciples being all beautiful, and it being a female cultivation sect founded by immortals, and so on.

However, Lingjiu Palace has never received outsiders, so no one from outside Lingjiu Palace has ever come here.

Now, thanks to Xu Zhu, Qiao Feng, Bai Ke, and their companions are able to come to this warm and humid paradise on earth.

They all opened their eyes wide, looking around like Liu Grandma entering the Grand View Garden, which made the female disciples of Lingjiu Palace chuckle.
