Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Jiang Fengyue easily found the old woman in black, as the location where most members of the Ma Yi Sect spent their daily activities remained unchanged.

As a protector of the Holy Church, she naturally spends a lot of time at the altar, sometimes even more than the Holy Maiden.

Jiang Fengyue said, "I'm about to leave."

The old woman in black said in a deep voice, "You can leave anytime you want; I can see you out."

Jiang Fengyue smiled and asked, "Can I come back again after I leave?"

The old woman in black looked angry and said sternly, "What do you take this place for? If you leave, you can never come back. If you try to force your way in, you will only die."

Jiang Fengyue said, "I want to go out and buy some food for you, so that I can hold one last banquet for my good friend Chu Liuxiang."

His purpose was certainly not just to hold a banquet; he also made some other plans.

The old woman in black looked coldly at Jiang Fengyue and said, "We have never had the custom of holding banquets here. If anyone wants to become husband and wife, they only need to inform the clan elders."

Jiang Fengyue smiled and responded to the old woman in black's gaze, saying, "You should know better than anyone that Chu Liuxiang never belonged to this place."

The old woman in black's expression changed slightly, and she said sternly, "What do you want to do?"

She was more afraid than anyone else of Chu Liuxiang dying or escaping, because it concerned her daughter's lifelong happiness.

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Right now, I only want to do one thing: let me purchase grain and host a banquet. If you won't even agree to this small thing, then I'll have to find another way."

The old woman in black remained silent for a long time before saying, "I can agree to your request, but you must also agree to one thing."

Jiang Fengyue said, "Please speak."

The old woman in black spoke in a low, enchanting voice, saying, "You can leave here at any time, but don't even think about taking Chu Liuxiang with you."

Jiang Fengyue said coldly, "If he doesn't want to leave, no one can take him away; if he wants to leave, no one can stop him."

Jiang Fengyue descended the stone steps from the altar. When he reached the last few steps, he turned back and shouted, "A small cage cannot confine a bird that yearns for freedom."

The Ma Yi sect would send people out to purchase food every seven days.

Today is the seventh day.

The old woman in black had led Jiang Fengyue to the exit of the stone mountain.

Unlike the stone gate at the entrance, the exit of the stone mountain has no door. The council hall of the Ma Yi Sect is directly connected to the outside, and the exit is open, allowing anyone to walk out directly.

The prerequisite is to get past the ten people guarding both sides of the exit inside the council chamber.

Ten people who had lived for an unknown amount of time were so old that their wrinkles were as thick as the bark of an old tree.

If an ordinary person reached their age, even if they weren't lying in a coffin, they would be bedridden.

But their backs were straight, and their eyes were bright and piercing. However, like all the people in hemp clothing, the years had not worn away the cold arrogance on their faces.

The old woman in black looked at Jiang Fengyue and smiled, "These are the elders of our clan. They are guarding the only exit to the outside world. I believe that with your eyesight, you should be able to see that it is impossible to force your way out."

Jiang Fengyue did not answer. He was already secretly calculating in his mind how many moves he would need to defeat these people in front of him.

"Check-in!"

"Signed in as Elder of the Ma Yi Sect successfully, gained twenty years of internal energy."

"Signed in as Elder of the Ma Yi Sect successfully, gained twenty years of internal energy."

"Signed in as Elder of the Ma Yi Sect successfully, gained twenty years of internal energy."

……

Jiang Fengyue signed in with ten elders of the Ma Yi Sect, and two hundred years of internal energy instantly surged into his body. Including the internal energy he gained from occasionally signing in with some Ma Yi Sect members in recent days, he had a total of five hundred years of internal energy in his body.

If the elders of the Ma Yi Sect were streams, then Jiang Fengyue, who was standing in front of them, was a mighty, surging river.

The old woman in black looked at the elders, pointed at Jiang Fengyue, and said, "He is the one who is in charge of purchasing the grain this time. You can let him pass."

An elder on the left, who looked quite dignified, said in a deep voice, "Why does this person look so unfamiliar to me?"

The ten elders rarely left the exit. They weren't at the altar on the day Chu Liuxiang removed Zhang Jiejie's mask, so they had only heard of Chu Liuxiang and Jiang Fengyue but had never seen them.

The old woman in black said, "He is our guest, Jiang Fengyue, a friend brought by Chu Liuxiang."

An elder on the right roared, "Nonsense! Utter nonsense! How dare you let an outsider stay here for so long?"

An elder on the left added, "Besides, how can we trust him to go and purchase grain? What if he brings back something bad? You can't bear that responsibility."

Jiang Fengyue looked at the exit. He wasn't too far from it. He smiled and said, "If I want to get out, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time stopping me."

An elder on the right, whose eyes gleamed with menace, said coldly, "In all these years, no one has ever been able to leave this place against our will. If you want to die, you can try."

Before the elder of the Ma Yi Sect could finish speaking, Jiang Fengyue's figure flashed and she was already outside the exit.

The elders of the Ma Yi Sect were shocked and wanted to give chase, but Jiang Fengyue had already moved far away in a few flashes, and no one in the world could catch up with her.

Jiang Fengyue's voice echoed back from afar, laughing, "I told you I was right, didn't I? If I want to leave, no one can stop me."

The sound grew fainter and fainter as Jiang Fengyue began her descent down the mountain.

The old woman in black sighed, "It seems that if this boy wants to come and go as he pleases, I'm afraid none of you can stop him."

An elder on the left said slowly, "It seems the outside world is becoming more complicated. This young man has such agility at such a young age."

An elder on the right sneered, "Your worries are unnecessary. If I had acted immediately, he would probably be stuck here forever."

In such situations, someone will naturally step forward to save face for you; otherwise, it would be difficult to save face.

At this moment, another elder on the right chimed in, "When he leaves here next time, I will definitely teach him a lesson he won't forget."

The old woman in black said in a deep voice, "If there's nothing else, I won't disturb the elders any longer."

An elder of the Hemp Robe Cult waved his hand, and the old woman in black withdrew.

Leaving the rocky mountain and passing through the mist, Jiang Fengyue quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The place where the Ma Yi Holy Sect was located was so remote that there wasn't a single town to be seen within a ten-mile radius.

The rugged roads gradually thinned out, and Jiang Fengyue continued walking along a smooth path.

He found a prosperous town within three miles.

Jiang Fengyue did not go to buy grain first; she was already sitting in the wine shop.

He hadn't had a proper meal in days, so now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to enjoy some good wine and food.

After a hearty meal, he spent a considerable amount of money at the wine shop to buy some fine wine. How could a banquet be held without wine?

Jiang Fengyue then entered a casino.
