Chapter 282: First Arrival in Liang Province

At the beginning of September, the work in Yong Province was in full swing. After everything was on track, Shi Feizhe went to Liang Province.

The True Realm martial artists in those cities of Yong Province couldn’t compare to Shi Feizhe, even Chuan Jianxin could crush them.

But the problems of the Jianghu have never been them.

It’s easy to kill them, but it’s hard without them.

What’s even more unexpected for Shi Feizhe is that Chuan Jianxin is very interested in the position of constable.

Maintaining law and order, fighting crime, and protecting the people coincide with his concept of weeding.

Now, he has become a glorious constable… intern.

Even Heaven’s Barrier martial artists have to pass the exam to become a formal constable!

Every constable who fights crime represents the image of the new Jianghu. Therefore, every constable must not only have martial strength and methods, but also thoughts.

Otherwise, if they use brute force and are unreasonable, then what kind of constable are they? They are nothing more than lackeys of the powerful!

The reason why Shi Feizhe went to Liang Province was because he had an agreement with the Ascension Path sect for September 9th.

On September 9th, the Ascension Path sect will ascend to heaven!

He went to the Ascension Path sect a few days in advance, and after dealing with their matters, he could also go to investigate Liang Province.

After September 9th, he would transfer people from Jing Province and Yang Province to take over Liang Province. In this way, six of the nine provinces in the world would be in the hands of the Jianghu Reform Committee.

According to the letter, the location of the Ascension Path sect is on a snow mountain in the southwest of Liang Province.

Shi Feizhe flew southwest from Yong Province, passing over several mountains and rivers. After about two hours of flying, he saw the boundless white snow mountain.

The terrain of the Nine Provinces is also high in the west and low in the east, so the southwest corner of Liang Province is a plateau snow mountain.

The snow mountain where the Ascension Path sect is located is at the highest peak of this snow mountain. The majestic snow mountain towers into the clouds, and even the clouds only linger around its waist, as if it is the boundary between heaven and earth, separating the mortal world from the heavens.

What a towering snow mountain!

Therefore, the Ascension Path sect named this mountain peak Flying Heaven Peak.

Not far from Flying Heaven Peak, there is a dormant volcano, which is Earth Fire Peak.

Within the Ascension Path sect, Flying Heaven Peak researches how to fly to heaven, Earth Fire Peak is responsible for forging tools, and the mountain guarding lineage is used to guard the mountain and protect the Dao.

Shi Feizhe did not conceal his figure. His flight trajectory cut through the sky, leaving behind a white cloud, which could easily be discovered by the people of the Ascension Path sect.

Daoist Xiao, who belonged to the mountain guarding lineage, saw a cloud in the north and knew that someone was visiting. He flew up into the sky and saw Shi Feizhe greeting him from afar.

“This humble Daoist greets City Lord Shi!” Daoist Xiao bowed and said, “City Lord Shi came so early!”

In Yangzhou, Daoist Xiao had met Shi Feizhe once before. At that time, Shi Feizhe was still the City Lord of Jicheng, so he addressed him as City Lord Shi.

As for saying that Shi Feizhe came early, today was only the 2nd of September, and the scheduled time for the ceremony was September 9th. Although most guests politely arrived two days in advance.

But for someone like Shi Feizhe to arrive a week early was indeed very early.

He must have other matters!

Daoist Xiao already had a guess in his mind.

“This is also my first time visiting Liang Province and your esteemed sect. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find the place, so I came a few days early to avoid getting lost.” Shi Feizhe said.

“Ha~ City Lord Shi is really humorous!” Daoist Xiao stretched out his hand to guide him, “City Lord Shi, please follow this humble Daoist!”

After saying that, Daoist Xiao flew ahead to lead the way, guiding Shi Feizhe to the mountain gate.

This is the mountain gate of the Ascension Path sect, made of ice that never melts all year round.

There is no archway with flying eaves, three gates, and four pillars. There is only a huge block of ice piled up in front of the mountain gate, with a door chiseled in the middle, and three characters written on it with a chilling air.

Ascension Path sect.

✿✿✿

Simple and clear, but revealing an aura of “don’t mess with me.”

Shi Feizhe followed Daoist Xiao into the mountain gate and saw mountain houses and halls built mainly of bluestone and ancient wood. The roofs were covered with thick layers of snow, and icicles hung from the walls, making it look very ancient.

Naturally, the mountain is like winter all year round, with occasional snowflakes falling and a chilling air.

Other Daoists passing by often looked at Shi Feizhe with curiosity, but when they saw Daoist Xiao, they left quietly like quails with their heads tucked in.

They knew that Daoist Xiao’s temper was not very good.

Daoist Xiao came to a wooden hall and said, “Please, City Lord Shi, take a seat!”

The interior of the hall is spacious, with a high roof and an open hall. The wood used for construction is high-quality hardwood, which has been specially treated to make it harder and smoother. It emits a faint woody fragrance and is very elegant.

This is the reception hall of the Ascension Path sect, “Guests from the Clouds.”

There are two main seats above the hall, and rows of guest seats on both sides.

Shi Feizhe was not polite and sat down on the main seat. Daoist Xiao sat on the seat next to him.

After the two sat down, Daoist boys came up to serve hot tea and dried fruits.

“This is a remote place, not comparable to Yangzhou. Please forgive us, City Lord Shi.” Daoist Xiao said with a smile.

“How could that be! The Ascension Path sect has its own charm!” Shi Feizhe praised.

He was not flattering, but he saw exquisite patterns carved on the doors, windows, beams, and pillars of the ancient hall, such as stars, sky, flying birds, and cloud patterns, which undoubtedly showed their yearning for ascension.

In the Jianghu, there are True Realm martial artists who enjoy bullying others, and there are also people like the Ascension Path sect who are obsessed with ascending to heaven.

“I wonder if it is convenient for Daoist Xiao to take me to see your esteemed sect’s ascension device.” Shi Feizhe said straight to the point.

“This…” Daoist Xiao pondered for a moment and said, “This matter is beyond the scope of this humble Daoist’s authority. I need to ask for instructions.”

He was responsible for guarding the mountain and protecting the Dao. He was not in charge of the ascension part, and had no right to interfere.

“That’s natural, please ask and tell them I’m very curious.” Shi Feizhe naturally expressed his understanding.

“Then allow this humble Daoist to ask, is the purpose of City Lord Shi coming early to the ceremony just to see the Ascension Ship?” Daoist Xiao said quite expertly.

“Yes! And also to persuade you to stop this experiment.” Shi Feizhe said.

“Why?” Daoist Xiao asked.

“Because you will definitely fail!” Shi Feizhe said.

Daoist Xiao chuckled and said, “Is City Lord Shi so sure?”

“Of course!” Shi Feizhe nodded and said.

Along the way, he had figured it out. He still wanted to persuade the Ascension Path sect not to blindly conduct the ascension experiment.

Without math, without chemistry, without physics, without any basic science, how can you fly?

Do you want to learn from Ah San and do Brownian motion?

Can you fly into space by piecing things together with your bare hands?

Isn’t that just launching fireworks?

So many countries in his previous life couldn’t independently develop rockets, let alone rocket launchers!

“Besides, I want to tell your esteemed sect a secret about history and the world beyond!” Shi Feizhe said, looking at Daoist Xiao, who was smiling faintly.

Let me give you a taste of the universe’s shock!

Ribbit! Extra chapter tomorrow!
