NIRVANA SHACKLES
QING LONG SECT

Wuxian turned to the side, looking at Huang Chao's face. “Why not?” his challenge.

Then, Wuxian and Huang Chao continued their journey. Along the way, Huang Chao told him about the history of the Qing Long sect that he had heard from his former master of learning. Yes, in addition to teaching about ethics and political issues, Huang Chao has also learned about the world of Jianghu scattered in various directions.

About the world of jianghu that Huang Chao would tell Wuxian this time was one of the sects named Qing Long that was housed in the snowy polar North region.

The Qing Long Sect was a sect that had stood for around 3000 years. His leadership includes people who are respected and also influential in the world of government. However, the identity of this leader was completely kept secret. No one knew who his true identity was, including the people from his own sect. Because many were curious about the figure of the Qing Long sect leader, then rumors circulated and intersected the afternoon.

One of the most powerful public opinion held that the sect leader of Qing Long was an immortal who had alienated himself from all things worldly. Although he had decided everything related to worldly affairs, he still could not be separated from his responsibilities as the leader of the Qing Long sect.

The great leader of the Qing Long sect had many servants ready to help him take care of the matters of the Qing Long sect and stabilize the cultivation of his disciples. Yes, they are the teachers who are in the Qing Long sect.

One of the teachers who served the Qing Long sect leader was named Run Yu. Run Yu was included in the row of great people who were famous in the Jianghu world. However for the sect leader of Qing Long, he respected him a lot because he was none other than the disciple of the Qing Long sect leader directly.

As rumors circulated, the Qing Long sect leader who had established a sect that was 3000 years old, could be certain that his age was more than the age of the Qing Long sect. True, because it has an age that exceeds the age of the average human, he is considered to have completed his cultivation and become an immortal who releases all worldly affairs.

Run Yu often met the sect leader Qing Long. However, he had never seen the figure of the Qing Long sect leader. When Run Yu met the sect leader of Qing Long, the sect leader of Qing Long only spoke to Run Yu in his seclusion, without revealing his figure. This is how they communicate between teachers and students.

As for the question asked by Wuxian on how to get to the top of the ice on the cliff, Huang Chao finally began to answer it.

“I have already explained about the history of Qing Long sect briefly. Now, I'll answer the question you asked earlier. Wuxian, you asked how we got to the top, didn't you?” Huang Chao's question was deliberately to convince the question from Wuxian.

“True, I was asking like that. How do we get to the top that soars to the sky? There's no way we're gonna come up there climbing. Of course it's impossible. We are just ordinary humans who have no cultivation whatsoever. If we slip when climbing a cliff, we will definitely fall down and our bodies will be smashed to pieces. That's why I'm curious. Brother Chao, it can't be, we got up there by climbing?” wuxian.

“Everything you say makes sense. That's why, I have to answer it in a way that makes sense anyway. But, maybe for those of us who do not know anything about the Jianghu world, will assume everything we see later, more unreasonable,” said Huang Chao.

Wuxian furrowed both of his eyebrows. All the words spoken by Huang Chao seemed foreign to him, and all the terms and their meanings still could not be captured by Wuxian, until it could be digested by his brain.

“Kak Chao, can you explain everything in a more simple and understandable language? Since then, I've really had a hard time understanding what you're saying and everything you're explaining. I even had to digest and filter it back-to-back, with my stupid brain,” Wuxian chirped.

“Ah... ha, ha, ha.” Huang Chao chuckled when he heard Wuxian's statement. “True too. Must be very confusing for you. In that case, I will explain in a more dizzy way than before,”.

“No, of course not. I just want to watch your brain heat up until the blood boils and smoke come out of your crown,” Huang Chao replied.

“Aihhh. What difference? You don't want to answer my question, but just want to make me dizzy,”.

“Already, already... rather than curious, you better just listen to my explanation. But, I want to rest for a while. We rest there first,” point Huang Chao to a large rock they see at the end of the road.

Seen close enough, but it turned out to be very far to the top of the ice they saw dimly behind the ice fog. Maybe because the peak was so high. Therefore, it can still be seen clearly from afar, although vaguely because it is covered by ice fog.

Wuxian and Huang Chao were finally able to relax the stiff joints of his legs due to the long journey. A little more, just need to count the steps again they will get to their destination.

“Wuxian, do you want a drink?” he's paying Wuxian.

"Is there a spring around here? I think everything in this region is just snowflakes" Wuxian said.

Huang Chao watched his surroundings for a while, and then he answered Wuxian, "If there is no water to drink here, then we can drink snowflakes" Huang Chao said.

“Teacher, what should we do next?” qi Feng, one of the Qing Long sect disciples asked his teacher named Yuan Lu.

“Have you guys been watching their movements?” reply Yuan Lu.

“Teacher, sorry to disappoint. We lost track of them. They were very deft, and his movements were very foreign. It seemed, they were not the people of the Northern Sect. Or maybe.. they are from the demon sect,”.

Yuan Lu was silent as he thought about what plan he should do next, when he heard an explanation from one of his students.

“If that is true, fear it. All estimates will come true,” Yuan Lu said.
