In the remaining night, a purple eagle flew rapidly over the woods.

On the back of the purple eagle, Luo Xing pointed ahead and said, "That's the mountain I was talking about, Baihe Mountain."

Xiao looked in the direction of his finger.

In the distance, a huge shadow stood between heaven and earth, with a bright moon hanging beside it.

It looked like a pyramid cut in half by dark clouds, or like a fat man kneeling on the ground with a bright lamp in his hand.

"How high is this mountain?" he asked subconsciously.

"Luoxing doesn't remember much, but Baihe Mountain is the highest mountain in the world. On a sunny day, the clouds only reach the waist of the mountain. The mountain is spiritual, and many plants with special effects grow there. Especially above the clouds, there are few people there, and there are many kinds of spiritual materials."

Xiao asked, "Although climbing to the top of a mountain is very difficult for ordinary people, don't other immortals go up the mountain to collect spiritual materials?"

"No, Baihe Mountain has been included in the territory of Baihe City. It belongs to the mortal world and immortals cannot touch it. I was allowed to go up the mountain to find food because I helped Baihe City a lot."

"?"

Xiao thought of various possibilities, such as there were restrictions in the mountains or something, and ordinary immortals could not pick the spiritual materials on the mountain, but when he heard this answer, he was stunned.

His past experiences made him think that the immortals here were the kind of people who would "let you suffer in dire straits while I remain free and happy", but it turns out that they have such a strong sense of boundaries?

The mountain has been assigned to Baihe City. Just because they are told not to move it, will they really not move it?

Could it be that he misunderstood these people?

Luo Xing continued, "Xiao, although your current realm has surpassed most immortals, you have not joined any immortal sect and are still a mortal. You can enter the mountains at will as long as you don't cause any big noise in the mountains."

"That's good news." Xiao came back to his senses and nodded.

Luo Xing said, "The higher the place, the more powerful the spiritual materials that grow there will be. However, the higher the place, the lower the temperature will be. The severe cold at high altitudes is difficult for even me to handle. If you want to go up there alone, you'd better take adequate cold-proof measures."

"understood."

Xiao looked at the clouds hiding the mountain peaks, and suddenly felt a long-lost excitement in his heart, an obsession with heights and reaching the top.

He asked, "What's on the top of the mountain?"

Luo Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know either. There is a wind wall near the top of the mountain and I can't get through. I heard from the old people in the city that most of the vitality in the mountain gathers into a pool at the top of the mountain. The mountain god lives at the bottom of the pool and listens to the wishes of all living beings."

Xiao thought to himself that the wind wall could stop Luo Xing, but might not be able to stop him. If it were him, he might have a chance.

Then he sighed again. The Eclipse Dream World was lying not far away, and the third-level envoy was eyeing the city-states near the fantasy world. His subordinates were always ready to devour the lives that blocked the way. Now was not the time to play.

What a pity, otherwise he would have to climb to the top to see what treasure was there.

……

Just as the first ray of golden light appeared in the sky, a city wall appeared in Xiao's sight. Its scale was in no way inferior to the city of Khotan where he had stayed before.

It seems that this is also a fairly large city.

Baihe City is located at the foot of Baihe Mountain. The morning light shines on the mountain, peeling off the shell of the shadow, allowing it to be seen more clearly.

It is like a green giant with the blue sky above its head, and the Pillar of Heaven is no different from it.

Baihe City crawled at its feet, as small as an ant at the feet of a giant elephant.

What a big mountain!

Xiao was amazed in his heart; this was the first time he had seen a mountain of this size with his own eyes.

When they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers stationed there.

"In order to deal with those monsters, a magic circle that can detect breath was installed in the city, making it impossible to sneak in." Luo Xing explained in a low voice.

"who!"

Two fully armed soldiers walked towards them, and one of them recognized Luo Xing.

"Hey, isn't this the Falling Star Immortal? Who is the person next to you?"

"elf."

Xiao spoke calmly.

The two soldiers looked at each other; they had never heard of this name.

Just as the two of them were whispering to each other about what to do, Luo Xing said, "Xiao is Luo Xing's friend, and he was ordered to come to assist me. He just arrived last night, and I took him to the city to find a temporary place to stay."

"So you are also an immortal. Come in."

The young soldier showed a look of understanding and made way, but was stopped by another older soldier.

"Just let them go like that? Without checking their ID or something like that?"

"Uh..." He was stunned for a moment, then realized how rash his decision was. He stood back to his original position and bowed to Xiao, "Yes, can this Immortal Xiao show me something that can prove himself?"

Luo Xing took a step forward, stood in front of Xiao, and asked, "Is my testimony not enough?"

"Uh, this..." The young soldier looked up at Luo Xing in a daze. After looking at the soldiers beside him, his tone became firm. "Yes, we need some other evidence."

The older soldier said: "We are guarding the gate of Baihe City. For the safety of the people in the city, please bear with us."

"Okay." Luo Xing leaned close to Xiao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Xiao, do you have this thing?"

Xiao shook his head: "I can't find it for now."

"Ah this..."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a team came back from outside and noticed the situation at the city gate.

Suddenly, someone in the team exclaimed: "Isn't he the man we met when we were patrolling? Why is he blocking the city gate? And why is the immortal who came to help... still standing next to him?!"

When they heard that Xiao appeared at the front line of the battlefield and had fought with Luo Xing who was responsible for supporting the patrol team, the faces of all the soldiers present became serious.

The two soldiers who came forward to negotiate with Xiao showed their weapons to Xiao, and the weapons sparkled brightly in the morning sun.

The two of them retreated towards the city gate vigilantly. The guards at the city gate also took out their weapons and, together with the returning patrol team, surrounded Xiao and Luoxing.

Luo Xing tried to defend himself: "I didn't recognize him at first, so I attacked Xiao. He is not a suspicious person!"

"Then please show us something that can prove your identity," said the older soldier.

Seeing this, Xiao sighed.

He just wanted to find a safe place to have a good rest. He didn't want to sleep in the wilderness and worry about being pursued by the envoy, nor did he want to be mistaken for a thief and hide in the city.

This misunderstanding still needs to be clarified, but... not to these ordinary soldiers in front of me.

The next moment, a king-level aura emanated from him. The surrounding soldiers were all stunned, and there was a hint of solemnity in their eyes when they looked at him, but they still maintained the same action as at the beginning, only their bodies were trembling a little because of the pressure.

"It's over, it's over!"

Luo Xing's eyes jumped back and forth between the two sides of the tense situation, his face full of anxiety.

He came to Baihe City to train under the order of his master, and he should stand on the side of Baihe City, but the other side happened to be his friend...

If a fight breaks out, he won’t know which side to help.

Just as the smell of gunpowder in the air grew thicker, a low sigh came from the city.

"Step back first."

Another king-level pressure appeared, dispelling the pressure on the soldiers.

Xiao revealed his aura in order to lure out a person of some status, so when he saw this, he retracted his aura.

Hearing this order, the soldiers felt relieved and moved away from Xiao. At the same time, a figure fell from the top of the city wall and landed in front of Xiao.

Seeing the falling figure clearly, Luo Xing shouted, "Uncle Chongguang!"

Fang Chongguang stood up and nodded to Luo Xing.

A soldier came up to him and told him what had happened.

Seeing Luo Xing's anxious expression, he asked, "What about you?"

"Xiao is really my friend. The smell on him is the same as when we last met. It has definitely not been contaminated or replaced by those monsters!"

Hearing this, Fang Chongguang sized up the young man with golden eyes, and finally his gaze fell on his wristband.

They were a pair of light red wristbands with scarlet butterflies painted on them.

"Are you from the Red Butterfly Army?" he asked.

Xiao followed his gaze to his wrist and nodded.

Although he had only joined the Red Butterfly Army for a few days, he had already been registered and had basically received all the benefits he was entitled to, such as this pair of wristbands.

Although Red Goblin is always there to protect him whenever he encounters a crisis, to be on the safe side, he still wears this pair of wrist guards that can withstand fatal blows.

He didn't expect that it was this object that proved his identity in the end.

"Whose subordinates are they?" Fang Chongguang asked.

"Geng Kongyu."

Fang Chongguang frowned slightly. "You mean, you belonged to the Red Butterfly Army guarding the city of Tian? You didn't follow General Geng into the battle?"

"I followed him, so I'm here."

"You escaped from the Eclipse Dream World?!"

"Ah."

Hearing this, Fang Chongguang looked at Xiao carefully again, and then was surprised to find that he could not see through the other party's cultivation level.

If he hadn't just blocked the pressure for his soldiers, he wouldn't believe it if you told him that Xiao had the strength of a king.

What a strong ability to disguise.

Or maybe the previous king level was not the limit of this young man?

He does not belong to the Red Butterfly Army, and is not sure whether Geng Kongyu has recruited any civilian experts. It will take time to verify. The top priority now is to stabilize this young man.

He collected his thoughts, pretended that he hadn't noticed anything, and asked calmly, "Besides you, did anyone else escape?"

"General Geng escaped." Xiao paused, then added, "And a deer."

Fang Chongguang was silent for a moment, then said, "You cannot enter the city for the time being. I need to make sure there are no signs of corrosion on your body. I will get the testing equipment as soon as possible. Before that, I will arrange temporary accommodation for you outside the city."

Xiao looked at him suspiciously.

Are you letting me know so soon? Is the identity of the Red Butterfly Army so useful?

Or is it that this person actually doesn't believe what I said at all, but just wants to trick me into a trap and then kill me because the current situation is unfavorable?

Although he wanted to bring out the top management so that things could be explained clearly once and for all to avoid future troubles, when it came to actually putting it into practice, how to make sure that things had been explained clearly was a difficult task.

Fang Chongguang saw Xiao's hesitation and said, "The temporary residence will be in an abandoned inn outside the city. Although the inn is not in the city, it is located in the patrol area of ​​our army, so there is no need to worry about its safety. If you are still worried, you can ask Luoxing Shangxian to accompany you."

Green Xiao also said: "Don't worry, even if he doesn't tell me, I will protect you."

The "he" that Green Goblin is referring to is Red Goblin.

After this trip, he was the most exhausted among the three Xiaos and had been unable to hold on for a long time. However, he was worried about the other one being alone, so he just held on.

Now, the other self had a companion whom he could barely trust. After entrusting the safety of the other self to the green goblin in a semi-threatening tone, he hid away to rest.

The explanation to the other self was “The eyesore has disappeared, you can handle the small matters by yourself from now on, don’t come to me, it’s troublesome”, and the tone was as if she was afraid that he would find out that she was tired.

With the support of Green Xiao and Fang Chongguang's promise, Xiao finally agreed.

Although the inn was abandoned, the rooms inside were still clean and tidy.

Xiao threw himself into the soft bedding and fell asleep.
