Tianhuang County has a total of 108 counties and more than 80 cultivation forces. Among these cultivation forces, the Wang, Zhao, Chen, and Pan families are the most powerful. They are collectively known as the four major families in Tianhuang County.
Among these forces, there are about twelve cultivation forces that are attached to the Chen family. Among them, Luotian County and Guang'an County are the territories directly under the Chen family.
In the cultivation world of Luotian County, the Chen family also opened the only Wukesongfang City, which is managed solely by the Chen family.
The task that Chen Zhiyu took on to kill the second-level low-grade demon python was near Huayun Town in Luotian County.
This Huayun Town is also the place where the Chen family settles clan members without spiritual roots. It is another gathering place for Chen family members besides Guang'an Chen Family Town. It is also the foundation of the Chen family in Jiuhua Mountain. Chen Zhiyu's eldest brother Chen Zhiyu has no spiritual roots.
The ritual is also placed here.
Chen Zhiyu rode on the back of the Thunder Cloud Eagle, feeling the strong wind whistling in the air and the blue sky and white sun, and suddenly a sense of lofty ambition arose in his heart.
Although this Thunder Cloud Eagle is not of high grade now, its flying speed is not slow. It can travel more than three hundred miles in one day. In just four days, it carried Chen Zhiyu to Huayun Town.
Because after what happened in Chenjia Town in Guang'an last time, Chen Zhiyu didn't have any good impressions of these mortals. He just briefly asked the mayor, and then took Lei Yundiao and the double-eyed civet cat to his elder brother's residence.
.
Huayun Town and some surrounding villages have probably gathered more than 60,000 mortals of the Chen family, which can be considered a big town in the mortal world.
Most people in Huayun Town mainly engage in farming and hunting and lead a self-sufficient life.
Among the hundreds of large and small wooden or brick houses in this town, a large courtyard with white walls and black tiles is the most majestic. The red painted door several feet high looks very majestic.
There is a stone lion on the left and right sides of the outermost part of the house.
On the left side of the door is a male lion playing with a hydrangea in his right front paw; on the right side of the door is a female lion with a cub lying between her front paws.
This pair of lions are extremely majestic, and also show that the owner of this house is either rich or noble.
The owner of this house is the residence of Chen Zhiyu's eldest brother, Chen Li, and his family.
Chen Li is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a dark purple robe, a three-inch beard, and a golden crown and jade hairpin.
When Chen Li saw his third brother, whom he had never met before, he burst into tears whether he was sad or impatient.
Speaking of which, although Chen Li had never met Chen Zhiyu, he had heard of his third brother when Chen Shifeng and his wife sent people over during the holidays.
The two exchanged greetings with each other again, and then Chen Li introduced Chen Zhiyu into the house, ordered people to prepare food and drinks, and started talking with Chen Zhiyu in the main hall.
Chen Zhiyu is a cultivator and doesn't like these common etiquette. However, the person in front of him is his brother after all, so he patiently listens to Chen Li's explanation of his family's shortcomings.
After a while, a group of people came to the entire hall, and they were actually people from this mansion.
These people include men and women, old and young, masters from the mansion, and servants from the mansion. Anyway, a group of people heard that the immortal masters came to the mansion.
Some were lying on the pillars in the hall and eavesdropping, while others were blatantly saying they were paying their respects to the Immortal Master.
Some people even started talking quietly inside.
"I have known for a long time that the master in the mansion is the descendant of an immortal, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Yes, yes, this is the first time in my life that I, Dumb, have met an immortal master!"
As he said this, a teenage boy next to him jumped up excitedly.
"Why can't our master cultivate immortality?"
Another woman who looked like a maid asked.
"It seems that our master doesn't have something called spiritual roots, so he can't become an immortal!"
"It doesn't matter whether you can't become an immortal or not. Haven't you seen our master's incredible wealth?"
"I don't think cultivating immortals is very impressive!"
But one person retorted somewhat unconvinced.
…………
Although everyone's words were small, they could not be deceived by Chen Zhiyu's ears.
Chen Zhiyu looked at the performance of everyone in the hall and showed a hint of amusement.
Chen Li originally thought that his third brother was going to be angry, and when he was about to dismiss these ignorant servants and family members, he saw Chen Zhiyu showing a smile, and he was really a little confused.
So he asked a little uneasily: "Third brother, what is there that I don't like about you?"
"Brother, let's get rid of this group of ignorant servants and family members!"
Chen Zhiyu said with a smile: "Brother, I don't have much to do, but it's unnecessary!"
Chen Li felt relieved now, but he still drove out the rest of the people in the room.
He didn't believe that his third brother would come to him for no reason.
After the idle people had dispersed, Chen Li said: "Third brother is here, but there is something to do!"
"Some time ago, Huayun Town reported that there was a demon python causing trouble here. I came here just to kill the demon python!"
Chen Zhiyu opened his mouth and revealed the purpose of his trip.
When Chen Li heard this, he quickly told Chen Zhiyu the cause and effect of the incident.
It turns out that there is a mountain range spanning hundreds of miles to the south of Chenjia Town. On weekdays, the people in the town would go to this mountain to hunt and improve their food.
Although there are always some ferocious birds and beasts in this mountain range, most of the people in this town are descendants of the immortal cultivators from Jiuhua Mountain. Although they do not have spiritual roots, they also have some mundane martial arts passed down by the cultivators.
In addition, every time we go up the mountain, everyone goes together, so the two have always been in peace, and there have been no major casualties.
Three months ago, people began to notice that the number of people going up the mountain was decreasing. At first, people just thought that the person was greedy and left the team. He went deep into the forest and encountered a vicious bird and was eaten.
Later, people realized that something was wrong, because more and more people died. Under the leadership of several masters in the town who had mastered martial arts to an innate level, the townspeople prepared to go into the mountain to find out.
What I never expected was that a monster python that was several feet long suddenly appeared in the mountain, killing and devouring hundreds of people who entered the mountain.
Fortunately, there was a master who had reached the innate level of martial arts. After paying a huge price, he managed to escape and ran back to inform the people in the town.
However, the man who ran back eventually died of his injuries, and the villagers in the town reported the matter to the Chen family in Jiuhuashan.
Later, the Chen family also arranged for several monks in the late stage of Qi training to come here to investigate, but the demon python was extremely cunning and actually escaped the pursuit of the Chen family monks.
Although the demon python was not found, the monks of the Chen family also determined that the demon python was roughly at the second level of low-grade.
Later, he was linked to the Chen family's affairs hall. As for why there are no monks guarding this place, it is because there are not many monks in the Chen family. Luotian County is close to Jiuhua Mountain, unlike Guang'an County, which is thousands of miles apart.
.
In addition, more than a dozen family monks died in Heishan Ridge seven years ago, and the original guard here was transferred back to the family.
After listening to Chen Li's introduction, Chen Zhiyu also thought in his mind: It is said that there is not much spiritual energy in this place, how could a monster be born, but it is a bit weird.
Could it be that there is a treasure here? Thinking of this reason, Chen Zhiyu was also very happy.
