Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 891: Forgotten Now

Qing Yue furrowed his brows and became more serious than his previous nonchalant demeanor, "Are you suspicious that their deaths are all connected to Lingbi Mountain?"

Jiangli said, "Even if it’s not related to Lingbi Mountain itself, it’s definitely related to the events that occurred there."

Qing Yue looked at Jiangli. As fellow members of Xuanmen, he naturally understood what Jiangli was suspecting.

Liu Bin, Hen Wenliang, and Yan Guowei, the only shared experience they had was the trip to Lingbi Mountain.

Afterward, the people began to die one by one.

It’s hard not to think that their reasons for dying might be associated with the Lingbi Mountain incident.

However...

Their manners of death and the times they died were all different.

It’s too strange.

Aside from the intersection point of Lingbi Mountain, there were no other connections.

For a moment, Qing Yue couldn’t guess what was going on.

Qing Yue buried his head in deep thought, saying nothing more.

Jiangli also fell silent.

The atmosphere in the carriage became tense.

No one spoke again.

They traveled in silence until they reached the foot of Lingbi Mountain.

Lingbi Mountain is vast, with mountains and waters, and its roads are rugged, making it impossible to drive in.

So, the two cars stopped one after the other on the main road at the mountain’s base.

The driver indicated that he could only take them this far.

Duan Jianchuan thanked him and instructed them to wait for their return.

Then Duan Jianchuan looked at everyone, "Third Brother, Abbot, we have to walk up ourselves now."

Jiangli and Fu Shiyan nodded in agreement.

"Hm..." At this moment, Xia Xin looked to one side and muttered, "Are those other cars?"

Following Xia Xin’s gaze, Jiangli saw two or three vehicles parked at the entrance of a nearby small path.

From the appearance of those cars, they didn’t look like ordinary vehicles; they seemed modified, as if not from a small county like this.

They seemed to have come from elsewhere.

Yet there was hardly anyone in the vehicles.

"Are there other people going up the mountain?" Xia Xin wondered.

Duan Jianchuan said, "I’ve heard Lingbi Mountain has many tourists every year; maybe they are tourists?"

Xia Xin, half-convinced, responded with an "Oh."

Jiangli’s expression remained calm, "Let’s go up and see."

Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng nodded.

Duan Jianchuan then asked, "Should we hire a local guide? The mountain’s situation is complex and it might be difficult to walk."

Jiangli had already started walking forward, "No need."

Seeing this, Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng exchanged looks and quickly followed.

Duan Jianchuan looked over at Fu Shiyan.

Fu Shiyan did not say a word but followed Jiangli into Lingbi Mountain.

Duan Jianchuan furrowed his brow slightly.

At this moment, Qing Yue walked over and patted his shoulder, saying, "With me and the Abbot here, what’s there to fear? Let’s go."

With that, he walked ahead.

Thinking it made sense, Duan Jianchuan followed.

...

Jiangli walked at the very front, seeming to lead the way for everyone.

She walked on the mountain path, sure-footed, as if she’d been there many times, not like someone visiting for the first time.

Xia Xin, walking on Jiangli’s other side, panted heavily; the mountain path was hard to tread.

Lingbi Mountain’s terrain is complex. Though it’s a scenic area, it’s undeveloped and retains its original landscape.

Xia Xin felt it was more tiring than usual mountain climbing. He glanced at Jiangli, who walked briskly, and quietly asked, "Ancestor, have you been here before?"

Jiangli, "No."

Xia Xin exclaimed softly, "Really? You seem so familiar with this place, Ancestor."

Jiangli turned her head slightly towards him, "Do I?"

Xia Xin nodded seriously, "Yes."

Jiangli paused her steps, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe I’ve been here before and just forgot."
