Chapter 141: The weird sect
"Huh? What are you talking about? Almost everyone on the Xiao Dao Continent knows about where the Yin Plundering Sect is at."
Shaking his head inwardly and not replying, Bai Long had an expression as if he was seriously thinking about something.
Walking for almost half an hour during which the ice mountain in the distance grew bigger in size to their eyes, the three of them finally stopped at the foot of the mountain.
A little surprised from seeing a huge wall around the boundary of the mountain's foot, Bai Long was quite curious as to know whom the wall was trying to keep out.
Were there actually any idiots who'd want to sneak inside this place?
Sharing the same thoughts, Linxin asked Meirong, "What are these walls here for? Whom does the Yin Plundering Sect need protection against?"
Chuckling a little Meirong mysteriously said, "Those walls aren't there to keep others from getting inside."
While Meirong didn't continue by saying anything, the meaning was quite clear to Bai Long and Linxin.
Walls to keep those inside the Sect from getting out?
Such short walls wouldn't be enough to keep cultivators from jumping over them, so they were most likely ordinary humans that the Sect didn't want escaping.
But why would there be mortals inside the Yin Plundering Sect?
With more questions than answers, Bai Long didn't bother asking Meirong for an answer since he would find them on his own soon enough.
Walking near the walls which were just a little shy of ten feet and had no arrays or traps on them, the trio continued walking beside it until they fi ally found an end to the wall.
Stopping in front of the hole in the wall, or in more simple terms in front of the gate which opened the path to enter the mountain, the trio quickly resumed moving after sparing a few moments to the see the board which was visible on top of the open gates.
Yin Plundering Sect.
Those words which were more than enough to cause almost everyone inside the Xiao Dao Continent to have a case of week knees was what Bai Long's set as his next goal.
Conquering the Yin Plundering Sect was Bai Long's main objective since that would, in turn, mean that he had enough capabilities to rule over the entire Xiao Dao Continent.
"Welcome back Elder Meirong! We've already been notified of your impending arrival. Please go on ahead."
Not even bothering to nod her head towards the two girls who were in the Qi Ant Stage, Meirong continued leading and led the two behind her up the slope.
Looking behind through the corner of his eye Bai Long managed to see the two females disciples who were guarding the door point at him and Linxin while whispering.
"Do you hate them or something?"
In response to Linxin's question, Meirong shook her head and sighed.
"Inside the Yin Plundering Sect the life of a woman will either be like Haven or Hell. And it doesn't take more than an instant to fall to the lowest level of Hell. Due to this, no one is anyone's friend inside here."
"Everyone here only looks out for themselves, and no one else."
"After all, those whom we view as ants one day might end up doing the very same thing the next day."
Even more words with hidden meanings behind them.
Doesn't she know how to speak normally?
Walking up the mountain which was nothing but snow and ice, Bai Long hadn't yet found the slightest signs of any plants or animals being on it.
Luckily there were small buildings every here and there, and the once in a while females they crossed paths with due to which Bai Long didn't feel too creeped out about by his surroundings.
Looking behind them to see how far up they had walked already, Bai Long guessed that they were around halfway to the top when the mountain which had been a completely slope until now turned a little flat.
Walking on the flat area Bai Long saw courtyards on either side of the path with them becoming more luxurious the farther they walked.
"Which one of these is yours?"
"Humph! As if someone like me would ever live in such a low levelled courtyard."
Rolling her eyes at how the woman still had her pride after everything she put her through, Linxin was thinking that maybe she needed to reach her another lesson when a woman walked up to them.
Unlike the other women who had walked past them, this was the first woman who had stopped them since the time they had walked up the mountain.
"Here are your orders straight from the Matriarch, Elder Meirong."
Once the woman gave the scroll in her hand to Meirong, she turned around to leave while maintaining the same cold look in her eyes the whole time.
From the beginning she stopped Meirong and until the time she left, Bai Long could see that the woman didn't care much about Meirong or particularly hate her.
It was as if she was just cold by default.
Remembering those words that Meirong had told him, Bai Long didn't think much of what just happened and ordered Meirong to open the scroll.
Following Bai Long's words even though she wanted to wait until she was back inside her courtyard, Meirong who resend moving opened the scroll and started to read it's contents while it was visible to the two who were walking behind her.
Inside the scroll other than welcoming Meirong back from her journey, the mysterious woman who established the Yin Plundering Sect wrote about the courtyard which was assigned to Linxin and stressed on how her son shouldn't leave the courtyard and roam outside under any situation.
It was also written that because Meirong was the one who found Linxin and brought her to the Sect, she was given the privilege to use Linxin's Constitution to her benefit for a whole year.
Other than this, the remaining were about how it would be her responsibility to show Linxin around the Sect, give her the Sect robes, teach her their cultivation technique, and so on.
