Chapter 329: Going to the North
"Ah, on second thought, never mind. I’ll just pay a visit once I’m over there. After all, we have a connection, and it’s a powerful one to have. I’ve got to maintain it well," Chu Tianshan said with a hearty laugh.
"Tch, you old coot. You never pass up a good opportunity," Chu Feng said helplessly before hanging up.
The relationship between Chu Feng and the Chu Family ancestor was strange. It wasn’t at all like the respectful deference shown by others.
And Chu Tianshan didn’t put on any high-and-mighty airs. Instead, he got along famously with Chu Feng, making the two of them seem more like good friends.
On the path of the Martial Dao, the strong were revered. The powerful were inevitably put on a pedestal, held high above the masses.
In other words, because Chu Feng was powerful enough, if he didn’t want to bother with Chu Tianshan, then in his eyes, Chu Tianshan would be nothing more than a piece of shit.
"Are we leaving tomorrow? Aren’t we waiting for the rest of the Chu Family?" Su Miaoke asked as she packed her clothes.
"Like hell we’re waiting. Wouldn’t it be better to go on our own and have some fun for a few days first? I’ve never been to Northwest China, so I have no idea what it’s like. I’m actually really looking forward to it," Chu Feng said.
"The altitude there is probably quite high, right? Will we get altitude sickness when we arrive? Should we bring some oxygen tanks or something?" Su Miaoke asked.
"Do you still think you’re an ordinary person? You’re in the Late-stage Body Refining Realm now, countless times stronger than a normal person. How could you possibly get altitude sickness?" Chu Feng said.
He had never been worried about that.
After all, the people who could go there were no ordinary folks; the minimum requirement was the Body Refining Realm.
If you got altitude sickness just from being there, then what was the point? You’d be taken out before any competition even started.
"That’s good," Su Miaoke nodded happily. She had been a little worried, but now her concerns were completely gone.
「The next day.」
Chu Feng said goodbye to his parents and drove Su Miaoke toward the city.
They had their own private jet now, so the flight plan had long been taken care of.
When they arrived at the airport, Wang Hong had already arranged for a private escort to meet them.
While ordinary people were still busy with the hustle and bustle of work and life, the entire Martial Arts Realm within Huaxia had already begun to stir.
The major Martial Arts Family Sects all began sending their members toward Kunlun Mountain.
After Chu Feng and Su Miaoke boarded the plane, they watched the scenery outside the window.
The private jet was on a direct flight, so there were no stops along the way.
Although spring had already begun, many places were still covered in flurries of snow, as if winter had yet to release its grip.
Especially as they neared the north, everything was a vast expanse of white snow.
「Nine hours later.」
The plane landed smoothly.
The moment he stepped off the plane, Chu Feng felt a blast of icy wind.
"It feels different from the south here, doesn’t it? The air is a bit dry, and it’s all vast plains, unlike the rolling mountains you’re used to," Bai Xue said.
"Yeah, it really is. This is my first time in a place like this, but I like the feeling. It’s great," Chu Feng said with a smile.
The unfamiliar atmosphere was a refreshing change of pace for him.
"Beyond the Great Snow Mountain lies the Extraterritorial Territory. The fighting is constant over there, and the Northwest King is the Commander of that land," Bai Xue said.
"So how much longer from here to the Celestial Sword Sect?" Chu Feng asked.
By this time, the three of them had walked out of the airport.
"It’s not too far, about eight or nine hours. The main problem is that it’s on a mountain, so it’s not easily accessible," Bai Xue said.
At that moment, several cars pulled to a steady stop in front of them.
The vehicles were all snow-white, high-horsepower SUVs, the kind with powerful engines and rugged performance.
Soon, several young women stepped out of the cars, waving and calling out to Bai Xue, "Senior Sister Bai Xue!"
Among all the disciples in the Celestial Sword Sect, Bai Xue held the highest status.
This was because she was the direct disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader—and, before Chu Feng, the only one.
The entire Celestial Sword Sect had very few male disciples—so few, in fact, that there were almost none. The vast majority of its members were women.
If a Sect had too many male disciples, strange incidents would inevitably occur, so the sect had gradually reduced the number of positions available to men.
This was actually quite understandable. After all, in a Sect filled with beautiful young women and only a handful of men, trouble was bound to arise sooner or later.
"Bai Feng, Bai Qing, what are you two doing here?" Bai Xue asked, a little surprised.
"The Sect Leader sent us to pick you up," the two young women said with a smile.
Then Bai Qing asked curiously, "Senior Sister, you’ve been away for so long. How was it? Is the south fun?"
The other young women also looked over curiously, eagerly awaiting Bai Xue’s reply.
"It was alright. But I’m not alone this time. I have two people with me. Let me introduce you," Bai Xue said to the group. "This is my junior brother, and this is his wife."
