This was an utterly different side to Diwu Mingchuan’s character…

Fang Qiu, seeing him behaving like this, could only shake his head with a smile.

He turned his head and looked around.

Everyone was busily occupied.

Some of them were holding their phones, and enjoying reading e-books, and some were avidly watching soap operas. Some even managed to get many palatable crayfishes from somewhere. Using disposable gloves, they were eating leisurely and enjoying their food.

Seeing that each of them was doing their own stuff and thoroughly enjoying themselves, Fang Qiu was startled.

But these people were the leaders of the four clans, eight factions, and sixteen sects in the Wulin! How could they all lose their imposing demeanor as soon as they got on the plane? The mighty images they projected in Wulin had all but disappeared!

Fang Qiu couldn’t help shaking his head again silently.

Then, he looked around for some time before he located Master Numinous. When he took a closer look, Fang Qiu found he was holding a phone and watching short videos with keen pleasure.

Fang Qiu laughed bitterly in his heart. “Did I take my identity as a Wulin practitioner overly serious? Or are these Wulin masters excessively used to modern lifestyles?”

Nevertheless, he closed his eyes and started his cultivation!

The plane soon landed safely at Sala International Airport.

They left the plane together.

When they got off the plane, Diwu Mingchuan walked out with the stewardess! Both of them must have enjoyed a nice chat along the way.

The lady’s elfin face was like a shiny red apple. She looked at Diwu Mingchuan with a coquettish look in her eyes.

What made everyone even more shocked was…

They saw Diwu Mingchuan exchanging his WeChat ID with her.

“Bah!”

Everyone cast contemptuous looks at Diwu Mingchuan when they saw such an astonishing scene.

“Old hooligan.”

Fang Qiu was even more speechless.

They left the airport without any further delay.

They successfully joined up with several other leaders.

With the backpacks on their backs, everyone reverted to their previous regal state. Once again, they all radiated prestige and aggressiveness.

There were a total of twenty-nine people: fifteen of the sixteen sect leaders, eight faction leaders, four patriarchs, the chief of Pear Garden, and Fang Qiu!

Except for Fang Qiu, the rest of the twenty-nine people were all middle-aged and elderly, and each carried a backpack full of things. When the group walked out of the airport, they attracted a lot of attention from all the passers-by.

“These mature men look awesome.”

“Could it be a climbing group?”

“From their appearances, it’s highly likely that they’re here to do some mountain climbing.”

“No way. They seem to be in their 50s or 60s. They might have good physical strength, but it’s too far-fetched to say they’ll go climbing the Forever Peak, isn’t it?”

“See? They can carry the fully-loaded backpacks with merely one arm and can still breathe evenly. It would be a piece of cake for them to reach the summit of the Forever Peak!”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t even be able to lift the backpack, let alone carry them on my back. How can their aged arms and legs be so strong?”

The people around were whispering and exclaiming excitedly!

The group got out of the airport.

Everyone followed Lin Qingyi and got into a coach that had been booked in advance.

It was a tourist bus that had been rented from some travel agency.

In addition to the passengers, there were two people in the coach: a driver and a substitute driver who was also a part-time tour guide.

On the way, the tour guide was enthusiastically introducing all kinds of tourist attractions to everyone. At the same, he had also been tempting these passengers with his spiel, hoping they would go to the major scenic places to have fun. In this way, he could earn more commission.

Everyone was listening to his lecture attentively. Unfortunately, when he asked if anyone wanted to go to any tourist attractions with him, they all shook heads and refused his invitation.

He had no choice but to accept this depressing result.

But since Lin Qingyi had already planned the destination in advance when renting the coach, the driver didn’t dare to change it without permission. Instead, he kept moving forward along the route that Lin Qingyi had instructed.

The coach sped along the way.

After about an hour into the journey, everyone felt there was a significant drop in the surrounding temperature.

They couldn’t help looking out of the window.

Their coach had arrived at the foot of a snow-capped mountain.

Moreover, there was a continuous ridge of snow-capped mountains to be seen. Even the ground was carpeted with a thick layer of snow. There seemed to be no road ahead, but the coach was still moving forward. The driver did not panic at all — he must have passed this road before.

“Be careful, everyone. Keep your voices as low as possible.”

The driver said while driving, “This area is very dangerous. There are frequent avalanches, but most of them happen in winter. At that time, there’ll be much more accumulated snow on the mountain. Though there is less snow during this season, an avalanche may happen. When anyone talks too loudly in the coach, the sound will reach the valley ahead and bounce off its surface. Then a snowslide may follow.”

His warning silenced everyone.

No one dared to make a sound.

The driver chuckled and comforted them. “Don’t be so nervous. We won’t be so unlucky.”

As soon as he finished speaking…

The coach reached a huge crevice between the two sides of the snow-capped mountains. The mountain slope was not steep, but something terrible happened the moment the coach entered the gap.

“Boom…”

A loud bang suddenly echoed all around.

“Screech!”

The driver abruptly stepped on the brakes and poked his head out of the coach window. All of a sudden, his eyes widened blankly in horror, and his face turned ghastly pale!

“It’s over. We are doomed. An avalanche! An avalanche is coming!”

The two drivers were scared out of their wits!

Looking at the towering snow waves on the high mountain, the two drivers hastily turned the steering wheel together and tried to make a run for it.

Unlike them, the group of people sitting in the coach appeared calm and at ease, and they didn’t panic at all.

“Sir, please go through the crack.”

Lin Qingyi called out.

“I know I have to go inside! Otherwise, we’ll all die.”

The driver shouted in a flustered voice.

However, these passengers laughed.

“Our young friend John Doe?”

Elder Zhan opened the wine gourd he carried with him all day long and drank a big mouthful of Heaven Dew from it. Then he smirked and said to Fang Qiu, “You are the only youth in our coach. Shouldn’t you show some respect to your elders and take the initiative to help? We are too old to do that. Our major tasks are to preserve our health and protect ourselves.”

Everyone nodded in approval.

“That’s right. Young friend John Doe, it’s not good to let the drivers watch us old guys work hard outside while a young man like you sits idly inside, isn’t it?” One elder urged John Doe to act.

“Yeah, just do it, young buddy John Doe?”

“Hurry up. Don’t scare the drivers.”

“Go ahead. We’ll cheer you on.”

All the elderly people voiced their thoughts, one after another.

They looked at Fang Qiu.

Everyone was smiling delightedly.

An avalanche obviously wouldn’t shatter their firm determination to find the ancient relic. In this case, the most feasible way was to move forcibly forward against the avalanche.

Everyone was well aware of the devastating power of an avalanche.

Therefore, no one wanted to waste their energy here. They all wanted to preserve it. After all, when they arrived at the secret place, they needed to make full use of their strength.

The two drivers, who were intent on fleeing for their lives, were stunned by what they heard.

“What on earth are they doing?

“An avalanche is happening right now, and the huge waves of snow will engulf us in no time. But these people aren’t panicky at all. Why? They’re still in a great mood to joke with each other! Seriously?

“What the hell is going on?”

“All of you are my seniors. It is an obligation for you elders to take care of the younger generation. Besides, when a thing is rare, it becomes precious. Since I am the only young man here, shouldn’t you all protect me instead?”

Fang Qiu made an excuse to reject their demands.

“Of course not.”

Patriarch Qian immediately said, “John Doe, we old people don’t have many years ahead to live, but you are still young with a promising future. It doesn’t matter if we die. But you will suffer a great loss if you die in the avalanche. At least we have enjoyed our lives 30 years more than you have had. Am I right?”

“That’s right. We’re living in a society that places high values on ethics. First of all, citizens should respect the elderly. On this basis, we love the young. So it’s your turn to go.”

Everyone didn’t agree with Fang Qiu’s words and shook their heads while retorting.

A wry smile emerged on Fang Qiu’s face.

“Hey, tour guide.”

Lin Qingyi shouted at the driver and asked, “Please come and judge which side is right. Who do you think should go outside?”

The tour guide was dumbfounded.

“Shut up, all of you.”

The tour guide cursed and said, “We’re about to die. Why are you still arguing?”

Hearing his outburst, everyone was stunned and then broke out in laughter.

“If you want to live, answer my question.”

Lin Qingyi said with a smile, “Don’t be so nervous. Is it so difficult to come up with an answer?”

The tour guide watched them helplessly.

But everyone insisted on him making the final decision.

Only at this moment did the driver realize that they were simply a group of lunatics. No wonder they were willing to listen to his introduction of any tourist attraction along the way but didn’t choose to visit any single place. No wonder they were still making fun of each other when death was evidently just round the corner.

The tour guide couldn’t stand their clamors any longer. He stretched out his hand and pointed randomly at Fang Qiu.

This time, each elder laughed heartily.

Fang Qiu smiled wryly and stood up, letting out a long sigh.

“Open the door, please,” Fang Qiu said to the driver.

“What?”

The two drivers were bewildered and howled, “Do you want to get yourself killed?”

“Open it for him.”

“Open the door, or it’ll be too late.”

“Open the door right now. Cut out the nonsense!”

All the other passengers pressed the drivers in unison. Without any trace of panic in their eyes, they looked at Fang Qiu expectantly.

With this crazy request from everyone, the driver eventually opened the door.

“There is nothing much I can do outside. Wouldn’t it be better to let the snow waves bury you all directly. What do you think?”

Before getting out of the coach, Fang Qiu asked with a smile.

“Don’t joke around. It’s coming!”

Diwu Mingchuan exclaimed impatiently.

“Alas, life is hard…”

Fang Qiu shook his head and sighed bitterly. Then, he said to the drivers, “You two don’t have to worry about anything. Just keep driving forward.”

His voice faded.

With a slight twist of his body, he jumped onto the top of the coach.

The driver quickly closed the door.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble…”

On the roof of the coach, Fang Qiu could clearly hear the deafening roars of the horrifying snow waves. They sounded like continuous loud crashes of thunder in his ears, which were quite frightening.

At this moment, he could hear nothing from the inside of the coach.

“Great Hand of Formlessness!”

Faced with the raging snow waves coming fast at him, Fang Qiu silently wielded the Great Hand of Formlessness without the slightest hesitation and drew all the Qi of Heaven and Earth nearby within a one-hundred radius around him, which then completely engulfed the whole coach.

The Qi of Heaven and Earth which was on the boil, formed a special shield.

The snow waves came head-on toward him with the momentum of an avalanche.

“Disperse!”

Fang Qiu suddenly gave a loud shout.

In the meantime, the boiling Qi of Heaven and Earth surged forth, blocking the horrible snow waves from the coach.

Under the protection of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, the coach flew out of the avalanche area and passed through the crevice between two snow mountains safely, no matter how panic-strickenly the drivers controlled the coach.

The coach stopped.

The two drivers immediately opened the door and rushed out, and looked back at the avalanche behind them.

Fang Qiu stepped into the coach, clapped his hands, and said, “It’s done.”
