114. The Phoenix Hunt

It was autumn in the hunting grounds of Phoenix Mountain.

"Now, where were we?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"It's a flashback." said Sizhui.

"Phoenix Mountain? It's in our sect." said Jin Zixuan.

"Good luck, a-die." said Jin Ling.

"I don't if I can defend you." he added making Jin Zixuan frown.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators chose a place where demons and beasts often lurked. They were to fight for the prey within an allocated period of time. This was what the hunting referred to. Throughout many miles, there were quite a lot of prey. It was one of the three most wellknown hunting grounds and had hosted many large hunting competitions. Such a significant event was not only for sects both large and small to display their skills and recruit talents, but also for rogue cultivators and new disciples to make themselves known.

Phoenix Mountain was a vast square before and around the square ten tall watching towers. On top of them, heads could be seen moving around. Their excited whispers crowded the air. The most quiet tower was naturally the tallest, most embellished one. Those who sat there were mostly elder cultivators, sect leaders, and their families. In the back, rows and rows of maids carried either canopies or large fans. The women in the first rows all covered their faces with smaller fans, reservedly looking down at the hunting ground.

"Niw we're going to watch some hunting. I really like this." said Wei Wuxian.

"It will not end up good." said Jiang Cheng.

"Can you at least for once let me enjoy?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"I will let you, I'm just saying. But really, what if something happen?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"It won't be that bad." said Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng just shrugged his shoulders.

However, when the riding formation of the GusuLan Sect arrived, their reservation couldn’t be seen anymore.

In night-hunts, horses weren’t actually needed when actually hunting down the prey. However, horsemanship was one of the arts that clan disciples were required to study. In events of such formality, entering the grounds on horseback was not only a symbol of respect, but riding formations could also create an atmosphere of grandeur quite beautiful in appearance. Boiled down, it was for nothing but ‘rules’ and ‘aesthetics’.

Lan XiChen and Lan WangJi sat in an upright posture on two snowy steeds as they led the GusuLan Sect’s riding formation slowly forward. The two both wore swords at their waists and arrows on their backs. White robes and forehead ribbons flying in the air, they seemed to be deities themselves. Their snow white boots were so immaculate that it could even be cleaner than the other peoples’ clothes. The Two Jades of Lan truly were a flawless pair of jade, almost as though they were carved out of ice. As soon as they entered, even the air seemed to have become refreshing.

"That's my husband and brother-in-law." Wei Wuxian said proudly.

"So magnificent." said a female cultivator.

"They are." said Jingyi.

"I'm so jealous of the twin prides." said another female cultivator.

"As you should." said Wei Wuxian making the women pout.

"Won't yiu say something, ChengCheng?" asked Wei Wuxian with a grin.

Jiang Cheng just raised his brows at him as he leaned on Lan Xichen's chest making those girls look at him with envy.
