The Flax Robe Sect intercontinental ship was dragged along by an armor of heroic spirit laborers, racing above the sea of clouds.
The ship began to slow as it approached the Ox Horn Mountain ferry station before finally drawing to a halt.
As Chen Ping’an and Cui Dongshan disembarked from the ship, they were greeted by the waiting Wei Bo. At the moment, Zhu Lian was situated in Old Dragon City, while Zheng Dafeng claimed that he had rolled his ankle, an injury that would keep him bedridden for months, so he had requested that Cen Yuanji take his place as gatekeeper.
“Please send us to the foot of Downtrodden Mountain,” Chen Ping’an requested with a smile.
Wei Bo gave a relieved nod, and the three of them instantly vanished before appearing at the entrance of the mountain.
Upon spotting the trio, Cen Yuanji was just about to stand up, but the three of them had already begun scaling the mountain.

“Pei Qian has chosen to stay in the Lotus Root Blessed Land this entire time, and she told us to inform her when you come back,” Wei Bo explained. “Zhou Mili also went to the Lotus Root Blessed Land to keep Pei Qian company.
“Chen Lingjun has left Downtrodden Mountain to help Shi Rou look after the pastry shop on Dragon Riding Alley, so the only one left on Downtrodden Mountain right now is Chen Ruchu, but she’s most likely out doing some shopping at the prefectural city right now.
