    1249 Mt. Vulcan Ind


    After flying for 20 hours, Ji Yuan spotted arge ind in the ocean ofva.


    Ling Shan immediately smiled as she said to Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi, "This ind is where my Ivy League Sect is. The name of this ind is called the Mt. Vulcan Ind. We should be safe now."


    As soon as they were near the ind, six human cultivators riding a flying mount were seen flying to interrupted them.


    One of them was even shouting angrily, "Our ind is off limits to all strangers!"


    But as soon as he saw that the Holy Maiden Ling Shan was with Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi, he was so startled that he began to stammer. "Elder You Kuang pays my respect to the Holy Maiden Ling Shan!"


    The other 5 cultivators were also quickly paying their homage in panic.


    Ling Shan immediately smiled, "Great Saintess Shui Xisi and her servant Ji Yuan are both my guests. Because of them, I am freed from the Demoness Empress An Xuanji now."


    Elder You Kuang bowed his head low as he said, "Your Holy Maiden, it isn''t safe for you to return now. Your sister has be the new Holy Maiden of our Ivy League Sect now."


    Ling Shan angrily said, "What? She has dared to seize my position! Now that I''ve returned, she can forget about being the Holy Maiden. Or is it because you have switched your loyalty to her instead?"


    Elder You Kuang panicky said, "I really dare not. In fact, most of us awaits your return. But your sister is appointed by the Demoness Empress An Xuanji and she may not take too kindly to it."


    Ling Shan said coldly, "Well, is she stronger than her father the Demon Emperor? I had killed the Demon Emperor on my own. It is time for the human cultivators to stand up against the deste cultivators that try to lord their might over us."


    Elder You Kuang stammered, "Yes, yes."


    Ling Shan smiled to Shui Xisi to say, "Don''t worry. Now that I''ve returned, I will be in the leadership position again. I can handle this on my own."


    Shui Xisi smiled, "Well, if you can''t handle it then I can lend you my servant Ji Yuan to help you. He is pretty strong as you can see."


    Ling Shan then turned to Ji Yuan to smile at him, "Thank you in advance."


    Then she had turned to say to Elder You Kuang, "Take me to the pce now."


    Immediately Elder You Kuang and his group began to turn around to lead Ji Yuan, Shui Xisi and Ling Shan to the big ind.


    There were many vegetations and mountain peaks on this big ind.


    Soon, Ji Yuan was able to see a big pce that was located on one of the peaks of this big ind.


    Elder You Kuang was joined by more than a dozen flying mounts and they were all astonished to see that their Holy Maiden Ling Shan had returned.


    Ling Shan turned to smile at Shui Xisi and Ji Yuan, "May I suggest that you wait here in that pavilion for me? Don''t worry. I can handle this all by myself. All these elders are my loyal followers."


    She had pointed at a pavilion at a mountain peak.


    Ji Yuan asked curiously, "You really don''t need my help to remove your sister from the leadership position? This may not be wise, am I right? After all, you have so few cultivators with you while your sister may have the entire cultivation sect under hermand."


    Ling Shan smiled wryly, "My sister is only a 8 year old little maiden. There is nothing to worry from her."


    When Ji Yuan had heard her, he was astonished. "Your holy maiden is merely an 8 year old little girl?"


    Ling Shan chuckled softly, "That''s right. She is merely a puppet ruler of the Demoness Empress An Xuanji to control my Ivy League Sect. Please wait in that pavilion while I settle the nasty aspects of my cultivation sect''s affairs."


    Ji Yuan slowly nodded, "Alright then. If you meet with any troubles, juste over here to look for us."


    Ling Shan smiled, "I will."


    Then she turned to say to Shui Xisi, "Farewell for the time being. I''ll be back very soon."


    Shui Xisi nodded as she answered, "Alright then. Please be careful."


    And with that, the Holy Maiden Ling Shan had mounted a flying mount and departed with many of her elders to the pce that could be seen ahead of them.


    Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi then flew to the pavilion to take a rest.


    They were actually quite relieved that they were able to take a rest now as they had been flying nonstop for the past 20 hours and were tired.


    Shui Xisi had in fact expended plenty of her profound strength and she was hoping to take a break soon.


    She muttered to Ji Yuan as soon as she hadnded, "I hate flying. This is so tiring."


    Ji Yuan chuckled, "Well, I am more tired than you as I have to use my profound strength to carry this Holy Maiden Ling Shan. Hahaha…"


    Shui Xisi muttered weakly, "You don''t look tired at all…"


    It was true that Ji Yuan did not look tired at all and he was still looking fresh, even though he had a fight with the Demoness Empress An Xuanji earlier.


    Another reason why she knows that Ji Yuan was not tired was because he hadughed, "Hahaha…"


    When he hadughed thrice, it means that he was lying.


    And when he wasughing twice, it was actually the truth.


    Shui Xisi had learnt this from Ling Feiyue and she was purposely keeping it a secret from Ji Yuan.


    In fact, all the maidens that know about this secret of Ji Yuan was purposely keeping this a secret.


    Shui Xisi turned around to look at her surroundings and saw that there was a cave not far away from the pavilion that they hadnded.


    "Not bad," she said. "This ce is quite scenic. I didn''t expect that the underworld below the Celestial Realm looks like this. Only bad part is that there is no sun here or blue skies here."


    Ji Yuan nodded.


    The heavens here are actually red in color when reflected by the red color of theva ocean. However, in many parts, it was shrouded in darkness or thick with deste mists.


    Ji Yuan said, "It seemed that there are many cultivation sects along this ocean ofva. This may be the only light source in this ce. However, it is also unlikely that we will be able to find any profound treasures in these ces too since it is often frequented by cultivators."


    Shui Xisi frowned at Ji Yuan, "Don''t tell me that you are still thinking of finding profound treasures in this ce?"


    Ji Yuanughed softly, "Aren''t we here in this ce to find profound treasures?"


    Shui Xisi stared coldly at him, "We are not in a trial or a wondend, you know."


    Ji Yuan weakly protested, "Maybe they do have some spirit herbs here that aremon but rare in the Celestial Realm. We can buy cheap and sell high in the Celestial Realm."
