Chapter 123: Bai He's Request - Arriving at Hu Nu
Help?
A trace of interest flickered in Lin Yang's eyes, but his internal vigilance did not waver; the black-robed figure beside him was even poised for action.
"Senior Bai He, please speak."
Bai He glanced at Bai Chenxiang beside him and sighed softly. "I know that young friend Lin Yang is a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and must be highly regarded by your teachers there."
"I wonder if you could help introduce my little granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang, so she can also go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Lin Yang stunned, but even Bai Chenxiang looked incredulous.
She couldn't help but raise her voice a few octaves. "Grandfather, you want me to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
"What, you don't want to go?"
Did she want to go?
Of course she wanted to.
She had grown up in the Bai Family Village, and the furthest place she had ever been was Yunlin City.
After graduating from the Junior Spirit Master Academy, she had always looked forward to seeing the outside World, but the situation of her Family really made it impossible for her to ask.
She hadn't expected her grandfather to bring it up himself this time.
After only a moment of hesitation, Bai Chenxiang nodded without hesitation. "I want to go."
Bai He nodded slightly; he understood his granddaughter's thoughts best.
Before, the Clan truly had no other choice; they could barely scrape by and had to keep Bai Chenxiang confined to this tiny place.
But now it was different; he had money!
With money, he could naturally fulfill his granddaughter's little wish.
After all, how could a Needle Tailed Swift, possessing a Martial Soul of extreme speed, not yearn for a wider sky?
However, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not a place just anyone could enter, especially since the identity of their Speed Clan was extremely sensitive, which was why he asked Lin Yang to be the intermediary.
Lin Yang also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
So it turned out Bai He didn't want to go back on his word, but just wanted him to help introduce Bai Chenxiang to the academy.
Lin Yang nodded and said, "That's no problem. Senior Bai He, I don't know how old Miss Bai is this year, and what is her cultivation level?"
"I am ten years old this year." Bai Chenxiang said with a hint of pride in her eyes. "I am currently at level twenty-two, a Two-Ring Great Soul Master."
Lin Yang nodded. To have such cultivation at this age showed that Bai Chenxiang's talent was not bad, and she must have Cultivated diligently.
"Miss Bai's talent is excellent. I believe the academy would be very happy to accept Miss Bai as a student."
"But... I heard that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy generally only accepts children of nobles."
Bai Chenxiang said with some concern.
Lin Yang smiled slightly. "The Heaven Dou Royal Academy does indeed have such a reputation, but that only applies to students without talent. A noble status is just a ticket, a gilded voucher."
"For a true Genius, the academy will not only refuse them, but will instead strongly support them. With your talent, it is not difficult to enter the academy."
A trace of joy appeared on Bai Chenxiang's face. "Really? That's great."
"However..." Lin Yang paused, which immediately made Bai Chenxiang's heart tighten.
However what?
"Senior Bai He, Miss Bai, I came out this time to search for my fifth Soul Ring, so I am afraid I cannot personally take you two to Heaven Dou City."
Upon hearing this, Bai He laughed loudly. "That doesn't matter! I have an old friend in Heaven Dou City who is the Clan Chief of the Strength Clan."
"I will take Xiangxiang there first. When the time comes, young friend Lin Yang, just send someone to the Strength Clan to let us know."
"Alright!"
It was just a recommendation, which wasn't a difficult task for Lin Yang.
After agreeing to Bai He's request, Lin Yang did not stay long and left the Bai Family Village with his Bone Clone.
After leaving the Bai Family Village, he did not delay any further and, according to his original plan, crossed the border and entered the Xingyao Principality.
After crossing the entire principality, he entered the Star Luo Province and finally arrived at the Hu Nu Mountain Range.
This was undoubtedly a long and tedious journey.
Heaven Dou Empire, Eastern Palace.
Xue Qinghe stood in front of the window, his slender figure appearing somewhat thin.
Behind him was Snake Lance Douluo She Long, who was reporting Lin Yang's movements. "Young Lord, according to the latest news, Lin Yang has already left the Bai Family Village and is heading to the Star Luo Empire."
"From the intelligence collected, I speculate that his target should be the Hu Xiao Mountain Range."
Xue Qinghe waved his hand. "Has the identity of that black-robed person by his side been confirmed?"
"No," She Long shook his head slightly. "That person seems to have popped out of thin air; we cannot find any information about him at all."
"Could it be Dugu Bo?"
"Absolutely impossible!" She Long said decisively.
"Dugu Bo is still in Heaven Dou City."
"Interesting!"
Xue Qinghe rubbed his chin, the interest in his eyes growing stronger. "My brother Yang, the more I interact with him, the more mysterious he feels. What else is there about him that I don't know?"
She Long lowered his eyelids and did not respond.
"Forget it. Instead of guessing here, I might as well take this opportunity to see him in person."
Yu Long knew that the Young Lord intended to go personally and meet Lin Yang with his true identity.
"Young Lord, what about the Imperial Palace..."
"Rest assured, I have already arranged everything. Leaving for a short time will not cause any problems."
"Yes."
Half a month later, Lin Yang finally entered the Star Luo Province of the Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo Province was similar to the Di'ao Province of the Heaven Dou Empire; it was the core region where the Star Luo Imperial Family had the strongest control.
The terrain of the entire province was like a huge basin.
The north side bordered the Star Dou Great Forest, and to the south, the three mountain ranges of Hu Wei, Hu Nu, and Hu Xiao formed a horn-like formation, isolating the province from other principalities.
It was like a natural barrier.
And the core of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, was located in the center of the Star Luo Province.
Of course, to guard against sudden beast tides, nearly half of the Star Luo Empire's army was stationed within the Star Luo Province.
After arriving in the Star Luo Province, Lin Yang was not in a hurry to go to the Hu Nu Mountain Range, but instead took a quick look around to experience the local customs of the Star Luo Empire.
It had to be said that compared to the overall bloated style of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire was much more solemn.
Walking on the street, occasionally patrolling soldiers would pass by in formation; the sound of their armor rubbing together was uniform, pedestrians automatically made way, and everything was orderly.
If even an obscure little city was like this, what about the core Star Luo City?
Lin Yang rested in the city for two days, tasted some local specialties, and conveniently bought a map of the Hu Nu Mountain Range.
On the third day, Lin Yang quietly left and headed south.
The Hu Nu Mountain Range was located at the southernmost tip of the Star Luo Province, connected to the Hu Xiao and Hu Wei mountain ranges, spanning thousands of miles.
There were many Soul Beasts in the mountains, especially famous for tiger-type Soul Beasts.
It was the largest gathering place for Soul Beasts within the Star Luo Empire, second only to the Star Dou Great Forest.
After another three days of travel, Lin Yang finally arrived at the outermost periphery of the Hu Nu Mountain Range.
Looking into the distance, mountains stretched on, and the layers of forest were dyed with color.
"Finally here!"
Lin Yang took a deep breath; the cool air was drawn into his lungs, and his Martial Soul was invigorated.
Immediately, he stepped into the mountains and forests without hesitation.
