Chapter 362
As the assassin who came to report retreated, the news that Ye Chen, the leader of the Haoshan Alliance, was going to the border to kill the monsters in person was also reported to the border in advance.
Because the messenger crow delivers the message, the speed is naturally very fast.
In just two days, the messenger crow flew across thousands of mountains and rivers and successfully stopped on the railing of the border watchtower.
The warrior responsible for guarding the watchtower took it and took a look, and was shocked.
"The various forces in Haoshan have actually been integrated into a big alliance?"
"And there is also a leader of the Haoshan Alliance?"
Because the news was so shocking, the warrior immediately submitted the letter to the leader guarding the border.
"What? The leader of the Haoshan Alliance came here in person?"
Border general Meng Ping was both excited and surprised.
What's exciting is that as long as a saint-level powerhouse comes, the monster beast that caused them heavy casualties can be killed.
Surprisingly, the various forces in Haoshan have always restrained each other and have never been broken by anyone for thousands of years.
This so-called leader of the Haoshan Alliance was able to forcibly integrate all the forces in Haoshan on his own, which shows how unfathomable his strength is.
"Commander Meng, since the leader of the alliance is here in person, it seems that we need to prepare in advance to welcome him!" said a subordinate.
"Of course I know this!"
Meng Ping nodded, "Send the order and ask the guards at each level to keep their eyes open. Don't collide with the alliance leader without knowing it!"
"yes!"
All the subordinates around him responded and immediately conveyed the order.
This place, called the Wilderness Forest, is the place closest to the Southern Territory.
However, between the two areas, there is a vast forest that spans hundreds of miles. It is full of high mountains and deserted people. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to cross this area and enter the Southern Territory.
Coupled with the fact that monsters and beasts are rampant in the wild forest, and poisonous insects and fierce deer emerge in endlessly, it can be described as a truly barren land.
Even if a person with a high level of cultivation goes deep, there is almost no return.
It is precisely because of this that there is very little communication between Nanyu and Haoshan.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
At the first checkpoint leading to the Southern Territory, there was a large banner with a very conspicuous large character written on it.
"Welcome to the alliance leader!"
The banner has been raised long ago, but the guards responsible for guarding the checkpoint have yet to see the legendary leader of the Haoshan Alliance!
"What do you think the leader of the alliance will look like?"
"I don't know. Anyway, the letter didn't say it, but I heard that the alliance leader's name is Ye Chen!"
"Name is only secondary, strength is fundamental. The alliance leader can single-handedly break the five-corner situation in Haoshan for thousands of years and integrate all the forces into a grand alliance. I think it must be very powerful and domineering!"
"That's for sure, and to have such terrifying strength, I think he must be quite young, at least nearly half a century old, and he may even be a gray-haired old man!"
"No matter what the leader looks like, we cannot let down our guard, especially those who are preparing to pass the level!"
"By the way, from now on, we should not charge customs fees like before. If we accidentally ask the leader of the alliance, wouldn't we be doomed?"
"Without the customs clearance fee, we can't make ends meet with our meager wages!"
"Otherwise, let's wait and see who comes. If you don't think he looks like the leader of the alliance, the clearance fee will still be collected. If we see a warrior who looks particularly like the leader of the alliance, we'll let him pass!"
“This method really kills two birds with one stone, that’s it!”
…
Hearing what the guards were chatting about, Ye Chen, who had just arrived here, was immediately dumbfounded.
According to these guards, even if he said in the past that he was the leader of the Haoshan Alliance, the other party would probably not believe it.
But no matter whether the other party believes it or not, since he is here, he definitely can't waste time here.
"Hey, little brother, do you know who the leader of our Haoshan Alliance is?"
Just as he was about to step forward, he was held back by a hand.
The person who pulled him was a relatively ordinary-looking young man, but when he mentioned the leader of the Haoshan Alliance, his eyes were full of longing and admiration.
"I……"
Ye Chen was about to answer, but before he finished speaking, someone next to him said impatiently: "Why are you asking this kid? He doesn't even look like his hair has grown yet. What can he know?"
The man pointed at Ye Chen and mocked without concealing it: "If my guess is correct, he should be a young man who has just come out to make his way in the world. I'm afraid he hasn't seen much of the world yet. Even we don't know.
Who is the leader of the Haoshan Alliance and how could he know?"
"Too!"
The man holding Ye Chen nodded in agreement, and immediately let go of Ye Chen's sleeves.
Ye Chen didn't pay attention and continued to stride towards the checkpoint.
But before he had taken a few steps, a whisper came from beside him, which almost made him fall to the ground.
"Since the leader of the Haoshan Alliance has not arrived yet, why not let us pretend to be the leader's subordinates and get through it!"
A somewhat wretched-looking young man said with a sinister smile: "You must have heard just now that as long as the person is related to the alliance leader, the guards should not dare to collect customs fees!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately received unanimous approval from several people around him.
"Yes, the customs clearance fee is quite expensive. One trip costs fifty gold coins. If we can save this money, we won't lose money on this hunt even if we don't have a big harvest!"
"In this case, what are you waiting for? Let's dress up quickly and go there under the banner of the leader's subordinates!"
"Okay, then it's settled!"
A few people discussed in low voices, and then walked towards the checkpoint with great swagger.
"these people……"
Ye Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, he did not expose the other party's intention, but watched with interest.
He wanted to see if the guards at those checkpoints could figure out the identities of this group of people.
"stop!"
Sure enough, as soon as a group of people approached, they were immediately stopped by guards.
Several people looked at each other, and the leader puffed up his chest and bravely said, "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that we are subordinates of the leader?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several checkpoint guards suddenly changed.
"What? Are you warriors who followed the alliance leader to the border?"
"I was very offended just now, and I hope you will forgive me!"
Several checkpoint guards didn't even dare to confirm their identities, and they all knelt down in fear.
The group of people who pretended to be powerful looked at each other tacitly, and then passed through the checkpoint in a majestic manner, leading to the wild forest behind.
Most of those who have to pass the level are mercenaries or casual cultivators.
Going to the wild forest is just for hunting or looking for some exotic flowers and plants.
"No way, you actually managed to get through it successfully?"
Ye Chen was a little depressed.
However, what made him even more depressed was yet to come.
"Hey, since they all have the guts to pretend to be the alliance leader's subordinates, I have the guts to directly pretend to be the alliance leader Ye Chen. Let's see who is more courageous!"
