Under the moonlight, one could vaguely see the vicinity, and after walking not much longer, on the end of his sight, Chen Ge saw a large mountain that seemed to be less than a kilometre away from him.
Chen Ge was a bit curious, such a distance and such a high mountain. Not to mention walking here, he should have found it as soon as he got on the shore, but Chen Ge clearly remembered that when he looked ahead ten minutes ago, there was nothing.
This strange situation attracted Chen Ge's attention.
Chen Ge concluded that there was definitely a secret on this mountain that he did not know about, and it might even be related to this island.
"It really is unusual!"
Thinking of this, a look of excitement appeared on Chen Ge's face as he lifted his feet and dashed towards that side. If he could get the secrets of the island on this mountain, then he would know how to ascend to the Phantom Dragon Island by rounding up.
There would be no need to go to the island where the Hai Dong tribe had sacrificed to search for it again.
Chen Ge's pace became faster and faster. It was only a distance of a kilometre, and in less than five minutes' work, Chen Ge was already close.
The mountain was close at hand, standing at the foot of it. Chen Ge took a deep breath.
"Boom!"
But as Chen Ge continued to walk forward, he suddenly hit his head.
"What's going on?" Chen Ge frowned slightly, he was clearly standing in the clearing, and there was nothing around him except for a few trees.
With the experience he had just had, Chen Ge immediately mobilised his True Qi and reached forward to touch it.
When he touched it, Chen Ge's palm stopped in mid-air. It was as if there was a huge piece of glass separating the two ends, and Chen Ge had just crashed into it.
Instead of glass, it was more like a wall of air.
"What kind of person dares to come near?!" Without waiting for Chen Ge to ponder, an old scolding voice suddenly came to mind, followed by a figure darting towards this place.
Chen Ge could not think about it and immediately retreated towards the back.
He understood that this man's strength was not weaker than his at all, and once he fought, not to mention whether he could win or not, he would already be surrounded by the people the other party had called over in the time he was held up.
Offending the organisers of the auction, it was probably impossible to leave the island.
Chen Ge frowned tightly and darted backwards, but the man was clearly much faster than him and had caught up with him in almost two or three seconds' time.
"Kid. How dare you take advantage of the night to barge in here, then let me see who it is and find out what you're up to!"
With those words, the man directly extended his hand. Preparing to go and grab Chen Ge.
Chen Ge took a deep breath and frowned, since he couldn't run away, he could only turn back and deal with it, whether he could leave here alive or not, it was all up to his own destiny.
"How dare you stop, are you looking for death!"
Just as Chen Ge stopped and prepared to exchange blows, a voice rang out in his ears again. Immediately afterwards a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed him by the collar, leading him to dodge towards the distance.
In a short instant, he had already flashed four to five hundred meters away.
"Strange. Is that Miss?" The would-be runner did not continue to chase any further, but stopped where he was and looked forward, sensing that the aura resembled, but appeared to be, an old crone.
But thinking of Miss's old quirky appearance, he turned back, after all, no one could escape their family on this island, even without seeing this person clearly. Nor would they ever let it get away.
The man in grey let out a long breath and withdrew his true qi into his body, ready to contact the clan to ask if it was the lady first before making a decision.
Chen Ge was led by her all the way back to the residence.
"Thank you for saving me, senior." After stopping, Chen Ge straightened his somewhat messy clothes and said respectfully as he arched his hand at her.
Without this old crone's timely help, Chen Ge knew he would have gotten into big trouble. Not to mention whether or not he could escape from that man in grey, even if he could, he would have definitely offended the organisers of the auction.
With their strength, trying to clean up after themselves would be like pinching an ant.
"I told you not to wander around. I thought you might have provoked the people who came here for the auction, but I didn't expect you to dare to head for that mountain." The old crone remained seated on her horse's tent, as if the action she had just taken had not burdened her much as she spoke. Not the slightest gasp could be heard.
"I was also curious, obviously I didn't see it when I was boarding the island, but when I looked up just now I saw a big mountain in front of me, I couldn't resist so I went up to have a look, I didn't expect to nearly get into trouble." Chen Ge said with a palpitating heart.
"Go back to sleep honestly." The old crone waved her hand, "Your appearance was not seen by them, and there are quite a few people besides you who have wandered into that vicinity by mistake, so there is no need to worry about your danger."
"Elder, why did you just come to your rescue, we have obviously only met once, and junior has defied your good intentions." Chen Ge asked with a smile as he crouched down in front of the old crone.
He could feel it. The person in front of him did not have a killing intent towards him, and without knowing why, it was better to ask for clarification.
"Idle." The old crone said indifferently.
"This ......" Chen Ge was embarrassed, not expecting to receive such a reply.
"It's not early, hurry up and rest, remember the next few days on the island, don't go out and wander around with nothing to do, I can save you once but not a second time." After the old crone said these words. Then she bowed her head straight away.
"Alright, thank you senior for helping me out." Seeing that the old crone really had no intention of saying anything, Chen Ge could only arch his hand and thank her before walking straight up the stairs.
Ten minutes later, the old crone got up and left the dwelling.
Not far from the mountain, near the coast, there was a row of houses with a number of young men dressed in black at the entrance, the same as those dressed at the port and on the shore.
Returning here, the old woman took off her outer clothes, revealing the modern garments inside.
Only to see the clothes off. She was slender and fair, completely devoid of the hunchbacked look she had just had, with a straight back and the exact appearance of a young girl in her early twenties.
"Miss, was it you who just struck?" A knock came at the door just as she put on her coat, and a hoarse voice inquired.
"Second Elder, you may come in." The young lady's ethereal voice rang out.
"Good. Miss." The man outside the door answered and pushed the door in a moment later, it was the man in grey that Chen Ge had seen, and by now he had taken off his hat. A kind face was revealed.
"It was me who saved him, in future if he is still moving around the island, you can just drive him away directly when you see him, don't hurt his life." The young girl crossed her legs and sat in her chair. That clear look in her eyes was the same as what Chen Ge saw.
"But Miss, this island holds our family's secrets, that kid's cultivation level is not low, if he is still interested in Cloud Mountain, a wall of true qi alone will not be enough to stop him." The grey-clothed old man walked up to the young girl and pondered for a moment, his face showing a difficult expression.
