Chapter 228 Approaching the Destination.
After a long and arduous journey, as if traversing countless thorny thickets, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao finally approached the mysterious destination indicated by the invitation step by step.
Along the way, the scenery was like a constantly changing giant scroll painting. At times, it presented the majestic scenery of towering mountains, with steep peaks like sharp swords piercing the sky, as if they wanted to tear the sky apart; at other times, it showed the vast and boundless plains, that endless green expanse, like a huge piece of jade, which made people feel refreshed and comfortable.
"Jun Luochuan, what mysterious treasure do you think is hidden at this destination?" Su Yao blinked her big, clear eyes, which sparkled with curiosity, and asked, looking like a kitten full of curiosity.
Jun Luochuan glanced at her, his gaze as cold as a glacier. "You'll find out when you get there. What's the rush? Don't wander around like a headless fly."
Su Yao pouted, her lips pouting like ripe cherries. "Hmph, you always keep me in suspense. You're always like this, so annoying!"
They traveled through one idyllic town after another, encountering all sorts of strange and wonderful people and unbelievable events.
In a quiet little town, they encountered a mysterious old man. The old man looked at them with his cloudy eyes, and a strange light flashed in his eyes for a moment, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, gone in an instant.
"Young people, where are you headed? Are you perhaps going to a place full of unknowns and dangers?" the old man asked slowly, his voice deep and hoarse, as if from ancient times.
Jun Luochuan looked at the old man warily, like a cheetah facing an unknown threat. "This is none of your business. Mind your own business, or don't blame me for being impolite."
The old man smiled, a smile as weathered as a withered branch in autumn. “Don’t be so wary. I’m just giving you a friendly reminder. The road ahead is not safe. It’s like a maze full of traps. One wrong step and you’ll be doomed.”
Jun Luochuan frowned, his brows furrowing like tightly knit mountains. He didn't speak, but a sense of vigilance crept into his heart.
As they continued their journey, the weather became increasingly unpredictable. At times, the sun blazed fiercely, its scorching rays like countless burning swords, baking the earth until it was scorching hot, as if trying to melt everything in the world; at other times, a fierce wind raged, whipping up sand and stones, the gale like an angry beast, roaring and sweeping everything away.
"This awful weather is torture! It feels like God is deliberately playing a trick on us," Su Yao complained, her voice filled with helplessness and frustration.
Jun Luochuan remained unmoved, like a steadfast statue. "Hang in there, we're almost there. Stop complaining all the time. If you can't even handle this little bit of hardship, what kind of immortal are you trying to cultivate?"
Finally, on the distant horizon, they saw a castle, faintly visible in the distance. The castle lay there quietly, like a sleeping behemoth.
"Is that our destination?" Su Yao pointed excitedly at the castle, her expression like that of a child who had discovered a treasure.
Jun Luochuan observed carefully, his eyes sharp. "That should be it. However, it probably won't be that simple."
Just then, a group of mysterious people dressed in black suddenly appeared, blocking their path like ghosts.
"This road is blocked!" the men in black shouted in unison, their voices like rolling thunder, deafening.
Jun Luochuan's eyes turned cold, his gaze seemingly capable of freezing a person instantly. "Get out of the way! Otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"
A fierce conflict is about to erupt like a volcano...
