Before Luo Puti took her glasses off, Zhuo Qunfeng had intended to only make friends with her. But after she took her shades off, the idiot stood there gawping at her, and only god knew what kind of thoughts were running through his mind.

Luo Puti was thoroughly disgusted by him but was forced to hide it.

The train’s final stop was Golmund, which was the entrance of Mount Kunlun – not the direction to Black Desert! Luo Puti had chosen to take a detour to Kunlun so that she could get her hands on the map of the roads into Black Desert!

Legend has it that once, a person went very close to the desert and came out alive. It was one of Kunlun Faction’s four elders, Zhuo Yaolong. That also happened to be Zhuo Qunfeng’s grandfather!

If she offended Zhuo Qunfeng now, she would be then sabotaging her own plan. She would then never be able to get the map from him.

The very reason for Luo Puti’s hatred of men and frosty character were rooted in her parents bizarre disappearance. She worked hard training making her way into Six Doors Organization and eventually becoming the Chief Inspector all just so that she could one day find her beloved parents.

Right now, a lead had finally surfaced! No matter how difficult it was to be in the prescence of disgusting Zhuo Qunfeng, Luo Puti was more than willing to endure it!

“Er… That… What… I’m sorry. That was rude of me!” Zhuo Qunfeng smiled awkwardly, but he was thick-faced enough to seat himself right across her. “May I know your name, miss? Knowing my name could only mean that you’re no ordinary person!”

“I’m Luo Puti!”

“Luo Puti? Huh? That name sounds very familiar… Don’t tell me… Let me think…” Zhuo Qunfeng squinted as he rummaged his mind. After a while, he gave up. “Sigh… I can’t recall. May I know what faction are you in? Who is your Sifu?”

“I am the newly appointed chief inspector of Six Doors Organization! I don’t belong to any faction!”

“Six Doors? Isn’t that the organization that works for the government?” Zhuo Quunfeng chuckled. “Ms. Luo Puti seems like a very gifted and talented person. Why would you willingly devote yourself to such an insignificant organization and work yourself to the ground for a group of nobodies? That’s such a waste!”

Six Door… insignificant? The government… just a bunch of nobodies?

Lu Puti cringed at those words. She knew that if it were to be someone else who had said them, they must have been merely gloating! It was, however, not unexpected for them to have fallen from the lips of Zhuo Qunfeng!

Kunlun Faction was the supreme ancient faction in China. They had a very long history, even longer than that of Mount Shu Faction!

Kunlun’s history went as far back as the time of the Primordial Lord of Heaven!

Before the Great War of Gods, the Primordial Lord of Heaven’s dojo was in Mount Kunlun! It was christened the Yu Xu Palace!

But after the war, a great flood ravished the land and Mount Kunlun collapsed.

Even today, the Primordial Lord of Heaven’s dojo still stood in the Kunlun Jade Void.

The Kunlun Faction inherited the orthodoxy of the Primordial Lord of Heaven. That was how deep their history went! Due to that, the Kunlun faction was recognized as the supreme ancient faction.

Overseen by demigods and served by countless of elites, it was no wonder Zhuo Qunfeng who was from Kunlun Faction would look down on Six Doors Organization and on the government!

“Are you, Ms. Luo, by any chance interested in joining our Kunlun Faction?”

Zhuo Qunfeng looked so certain, as if he could make Luo Puti agree to it like magic.

“I don’t…” Luo Puti shook her head.

“Then why has Ms. Luo decided to go to Kunlun? Don’t tell you’re here just to do some sightseeing.”

“The truth is that I have some personal matters I need to settle. I need to ask for the map into Black Desert from your faction,” confessed Luo Puti.

“What a coincidence! My grandfather was the one who drew the map! He was the first man who had managed to get the closest to the Black Desert!”

“Did he reach Black Desert?” Luo Puti asked with a sudden rush of excitement.

“No!” Zhuo Qunfeng shook his head. “You probably already knew that those who entered the desert would never leave the place alive! My grandfather had only seen the edge of the Black Desert. They were forced to evacuate because they spotted a sandstorm forming.”

“Has he ever tried to enter?”

“No… My grandfather said that place was too dreadful. That place is not for humans to enter! In the pople of Xijiang’s own words – it is a god-forsaken place, conquered by the devil!”

“Oh…” Luo Puti’s brows furrowed at that. “How is your grandfather’s cultivation?”

“My grandfather was already in the late phase of Celestial Cultivation when he attempted to explore the Black Desert. That was more than a decade ago!”

Zhuo Qunfeng then added proudly, “My grandfather has now reached Ethereal Cultivation, he’s 10 times stronger than he was back then!”

Luo Puti’s frowned deepened.

Even a Celestial Cultivation Elite could not enter the Black Desert! Although he had already reached Ethereal Cultivation, he dared not go back and attempt to explore it again!

How horrifying is that place? Could it really have been occupied by the devil?

Luo Puti’s mind was spinning.

She was just in the early phase of True Nirvana cultivation. Even if she had managed to get her hands on the map, there was no way she could come out of the desert alive.

A feeling of powerlessness filled her. Why was her cultivation so weak?

In this world, where being weak was practically a sin, things were immensely difficult for those who were weak!

“Is Ms. Luo planning to explore the Black Desert?”

“Yes, I cannot not go!”

Even though she knew for sure that she would die, her decision was as firm as a rock.

“Oh, what a coincidence!” Zhuo Qunfeng smiled. “A few of us who had reached Celestial Cultivation were planning to go too. I came back from America just to discuss this plan with them!”

“Rea… Really?” Luo Puti nearly jumped out of her seat in excitement. It would be much safer to travel with a group of Celestial Cultivation Elites.

“Of course! A few of my friends grandfathers were part of the expedition back then! Back in the years when our fathers had to fight in the wars, their cultivation increased very slowly and they did not have a chance to explore the desert! Now that we have abundant resources in our generation, we could cultivate at a much faster rate. We can now give the desert a try!”

Luo Puti was overwhelmed. “Can you bring me with you?”

Back then, this was not a question she would have asked.

There was no such thing as free lunch in this world. Even if Zhuo Qunfeng agreed to take her with them, there was surely a price she had to pay!

Right now, Luo Puti could only think of her parents and nothing else. As long as it did not cross the line, she was willing to do anything!

“We can, but…” Zhuo Qunfeng was about to lay out a condition when he was cut off.

“But your husband wouldn’t allow you!” Chen Xiaobei said as he walked towards them.

Luo Puti’s jaw fell open at the sight of him.
