Half a year later, Jiang Chen and Huang'er have moved away from the Central Scarlet Cauldron. However, because of the reward order, although they are far away from the Central Red Cauldron, wherever they go, there are countless fanatics chasing and killing them for the reward. As a result, Jiang Chen and the others couldn't go all out.
However, even though they were disguised as Yuanjing casual cultivators and encountered some interrogations along the way, they were not suspected at all.
Within half a year, due to the sufficient supply of Holy Ying Dan, Jiang Chen made another breakthrough in his cultivation and was successfully promoted to the third level of the Holy Realm.
When making a breakthrough, Jiang Chen didn't want to attract the attention of all parties, so he activated the formation and completed the promotion within the formation.
Huang'er was protecting Jiang Chen from the outside, and the whole process was extremely smooth.
After spending half a year together day and night, the two of them had a great time eating and drinking. The piano and flute ensemble playing "Sounds of Nature" was even more perfect.
Compared to Danqian Palace, Huang'er was not disgusted with this wandering life, but actually enjoyed it.
During the conversation with Jiang Chen, Huang'er also gained a better understanding of this mysterious young man. Even if Jiang Chen's memory was unparalleled in the world, even if he didn't deliberately show off, when he talked, he had that kind of superhuman feeling. Huang'er was secretly surprised many times by his understanding and temperament.
On this day, the two came to a small town.
Jiang Chen's reward was hanging at the gate of the small town. Jiang Chen had long been numb to all this, and they originally tried to avoid densely populated cities.
But this small town cannot be bypassed. If they want to bypass it, they have to take a lot of wrong roads, and they also want to enter the densely populated area to inquire about the latest situation.
After entering the city, as soon as I found a restaurant and sat down, I heard a group of casual cultivators talking animatedly there.
"Have you heard? Danchi, the master of Danqian Palace, was arrested some time ago."
"Tch, this isn't new news. It's been seven or eight days, right?"
"Hey, the Wanxiang Territory is really miserable. I don't know why I offended a first-class sect. This is a complete disaster."
"What's so miserable? In the world of martial arts, the law of the jungle is always preyed on by the strong. If a first-level sect is strong and Wanxiang Territory is weak, it's normal for it to be devoured by others."
"That's what I say, but for us casual cultivators, if we really get into trouble with a big force, the consequences will be worse than those in the Wanxiang Territory."
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard the news.
The Lord of Danchi Palace was captured?
This news was like a thunderbolt, making Jiang Chen a little confused. In Danqian Palace, the person he respected the most was the Lord of Danchi Palace.
When he heard the news that he had been captured, regardless of whether the news was true or false, Jiang Chen's heart was slightly moved.
Huang'er hurriedly sent a message: "Master Jiang, what I hear from hearsay is not worthy of belief."
Huang'er's voice is always as warm and reassuring as the sunshine in March.
Jiang Chen tried hard to control the anxiety in his heart and continued to listen.
"What's the use of seizing the Palace Master of Danchi? I heard that the people in the Immortal Capital and the Central Red Cauldron are most afraid of Jiang Chen, not Danchi."
"Yes, I heard that Jiang Chen killed many people in the Central Scarlet Cauldron Territory, and even killed the grandson of a Dharma King in the Immortal Capital City. This Jiang Chen is really a monster. A small four-person in the Wanxiang Territory A disciple of the first-grade sect is actually such a monster. If such a person is really noticed by other first-grade sects, given time, he will be a real threat."
"Forget it, forget it, this is none of our business, don't worry about it. Drink and drink."
What made Jiang Chen depressed was that when these people said this, they stopped continuing, which made Jiang Chen feel upset.
Having an idea, Jiang Chen held up the cup, stood up and walked to those people: "Brothers, please be polite."
Jiang Chen was dressed as a casual cultivator, and the strength he showed was a bit lower than these people, so when he walked over, there was no look of fear on the faces of those people.
"Hmm? What's the matter with you?" Several casual cultivators looked at him.
"It's like this. I accidentally heard some brothers talking about Danqian Palace just now. The arrest of Danchi is an opportunity."
Jiang Chen said in an exaggerated tone.
"What opportunity? Let's go and cool down! Don't disturb me and the others drinking." A casual cultivator was impatient.
"Do you think that if Dan Chi is caught, Jiang Chen will definitely go to the rescue? Maybe Jiang Chen will show up. At that time, everyone will work together to stop that Jiang Chen... The reward is huge. Such wealth! Just thinking about it makes people excited." Jiang Chen looked fascinated.
"Pfft!" A casual cultivator had wine in his mouth. After hearing Jiang Chen's words, he spit out a mouthful of wine.
"Hahaha!" The other casual cultivators burst out laughing after being stunned.
One of them even laughed and slapped his thigh, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Brothers, what are you laughing at?" Jiang Chen scratched his head naively.
These people were laughing so hard that they couldn't hold back their laughter for a long time. They looked at Jiang Chen with a mocking expression: "Brother, I'm not trying to hit you. Do you think you are better than the people from the Immortal Capital? Than Chiding. Are those sects in the Central Region more capable? There are so many people who can’t round up Jiang Chen, why should you be asked to stop him?"
Jiang Chen chuckled: "What if we are lucky?"
"Okay, brother, since you think you are lucky, then you should try your luck. Don't disturb our brothers' drinking. But you are quite humorous. It is rare to make these brothers so happy. Come on, This glass of wine is for you."
The casual cultivator raised his glass casually, but it was obvious that he did not want to pay respect to Jiang Chen, but was just teasing him.
"Then...then I would like to ask the brothers, where was Danchi taken?" Jiang Chen actually wanted to get this information.
"In the middle region of Jiantian, in Tai'a City, there will be a public execution of Danchi in one month. Go, I wish you luck and capture Jiang Chen in one fell swoop."
These words were obviously full of perfunctory, seemingly blessing, but they were full of irony.
Jian Tian Zhongyu, Tai'a City.
Jiang Chen is no stranger to this place. Because in the planned route to Liuli King City, Tai'a City is the only way to go, and it is not too far away from here.
Jiang Chen chuckled: "Tai'acheng, it seems not far from here? Is it really there? Then you have to try your luck. Even if you don't get good luck, it's good to go and see the excitement."
"Go, go, I'll tell you everything you need to ask. Just go and cool down and don't disturb anyone's drinking pleasure."
Returning to his seat, Jiang Chen was still very happy on the surface, but a big stone was sinking in his heart.
What the other party said has a nose and an eye, and there is no smoke without fire. There is probably some basis for this.
After drinking for a while, Jiang Chen and Huang'er left.
"Mr. Jiang, Tai'acheng is not far from here. If you travel quickly, it's only half a month's journey. We can go and have a look."
You must definitely go see it. The Lord of Danchi Palace was kind to him and brought him from the small Sixteen Kingdoms Alliance to Danqian Palace. It had a great influence on him.
The Danqian Palace was broken, and Jiang Chen could not do anything. He was already very guilty. If he ignored what happened to the owner of the Danchi Palace, Jiang Chen's Taoist heart would not be able to overcome this hurdle.
"Whether it's true or not, you have to go and take a look." Jiang Chen nodded, "It's just that the Immortal Heavenly Capital has always been good at planning, so this news may not necessarily be true. I guess it's also possible that they are setting up suspicions and causing confusion. I might as well go."
Jiang Chen is not a one-minded person and has thought about many possibilities.
In fact, Huang'er also thought of this, but she knew that Jiang Chen respected the master of Danchi Palace very much. Although Danchi was not Jiang Chen's master, he could still be regarded as both a teacher and a friend.
There was no reason for her to interrupt on this issue.
"If it's fake, it's also a conspiracy. They just know the relationship between you and the Danchi Palace Master. Even if it's fake, you don't dare to bet on it."
"Well, Tai'acheng will definitely be very lively by then. But if they want to lure me into taking the bait, I don't mind giving them a long memory."
…
Twenty days later, Jiang Chen and Huang'er entered Tai'a City one after another. They were also very cautious and separated into two groups, entering the city one after the other, agreeing to meet again after entering the city.
In this way, there will be fewer loopholes in the interrogation when entering the city gate.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was a single cultivator, he let him in without checking him carefully.
However, Jiang Chen knew that the current Tai'a City looked calm, but there must be turbulence in the dark. It was easy to get in, but it might not be easy to get out.
As soon as Jiang Chen entered the city gate, several people appeared on the roadside, blocking Jiang Chen's path.
Jiang Chen's heart sank, and he stood still, his consciousness moving secretly.
"Brother, don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"
"Brother, I see you are traveling alone. Are you interested in joining us?"
"Brother, don't listen to him, join our team. We have three Saint Realm powerhouses in our team!"
"Tch, what's the use of three strong men from the Holy Realm? The boss of my team is from the Earthly Holy Realm. Brothers, you'd better join us."
"Don't listen to them, join us. Our team is evenly matched. Even if we catch Jiang Chen, the credit will not be monopolized by the strong ones in the Holy Realm."
When Jiang Chen heard this, his guard relaxed, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Believe me, these guys are all teams of casual cultivators who are chasing me. A quick scan reveals that there are at least seven or eight teams in this team, and there are even more ahead.
However, the team in front was of a higher level and obviously did not look down upon him, a strong person in the "Earth Yuan Realm".
Unexpectedly, even though I was pretending to be in the Earth Yuan realm, someone would still win over me. It seems that this reward order has really become a carnival in the casual cultivator world.
"Everyone, my little brother is of low strength and has mediocre fighting power. If I join your team, I'm afraid I will only be a hindrance."
Jiang Chen made up an excuse casually.
But he obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of these people.
"Look at what you said, most of us are not in the Yuan realm? We, the casual cultivators, are different from those big sects. We rely on the number of people. The more people we have, the more powerful we are."
"There is a saying that if there are too many ants, they will kill the elephant. I don't think Jiang Chen has three heads and six arms. If we can't do it with three or five, then ten or twenty will be the head office? If not, then thirty or fifty or hundreds will be the head office, right?"
Jiang Chen wanted to refuse, but in the end he thought of something. When the words came to his lips, he did not say anything, but waved his hand: "No hurry, no hurry, I will think about it again."
Suddenly, he felt that joining the team of casual cultivators would be an excellent way to cover up his whereabouts. Moreover, there were many chattering among the casual cultivators, so maybe he could get some useful information.
(This is the first update. I was imagining a new plot today, so the update is a little late. Yesterday, the fourth chapter should have been 702, but it was written as 701. I hope you didn’t miss it)
