Returning to Cui Weiling, Prince Bai changed his original aloofness and magnanimity, took possession of the Yuanshi Mine, and appointed Wang Feng as his deputy to manage the defense affairs in the basin.
As for Zhan Chen, as an ordinary warrior who successfully escaped from Xie Chunlai, he was naturally not taken seriously and was left alone in a corner.
But in this way, he was happy to be quiet. He practiced alchemy alone and spent a few days in peace.
However, the good times did not last long, and Gongzi Bai soon found him again. On this day, Zhan Chen was called to Gongzi Bai's camp, and he was accompanied by captains such as Pang Xie, Xu Lihu, etc., a total of seven people.
They were very confused and didn't know why the young master had called them here in vain.
When Young Master Bai saw that everyone had arrived, he said: Some time ago, everyone must have known about the remnants of the Zhengdao Sect. Now, according to unreliable news, the home of the Zhengdao Sect is located in this mountain range.
.
Everyone came over to take a look. Having said this, he took out a map and spread it out on the table.
Everyone gathered around. Young Master Bai took out a pen, drew a circle on an area on the map, and said: "It is in this area. We will set off immediately, lead the team, and search here with all our strength."
Senior brother, what about the affairs of the mine here?
I have handed over the mine to Wang Feng as my sole agent.
We have all left. What if people from evil cults or orthodox sects come to attack us again?
Young Master Bai showed a wise smile and said: Didn't the lesson we taught them before come again be profound enough? I'm sure they won't dare to come again.
But everyone still had objections. After all, the young master Bai wanted to take away a total of 7,000 people, and without a strong man in charge, the mine would be too dangerous.
Okay, do you still question my judgment?
Don't dare
Gongzi Bai made another surprising decision. This seemed very incomprehensible in Zhan Chen's eyes. Guarding the Yuan Stone Mine was a big fat vacancy, but Gongzi Bai was willing to give up such a huge profit to Wang Feng, and took it with him.
A large army to hunt down the remnants of the Righteous Dao Sect.
This is not normal. The so-called not getting up early without profit, with Gongzi Bai's cunning and greed, unless there is a greater benefit waiting for him. Zhan Chen quickly made a judgment.
After Prince Bai gave the order, he set off immediately, taking seven thousand people with him on the road.
Wang Feng even came here specially to send it off. Everyone could even clearly see his eyebrows dancing, and he couldn't restrain his joy.
The team traveled over mountains and ridges, stopping and walking for more than ten days, before they arrived at the area designated by Master Bai at the beginning.
There are high mountains, cold winds blowing frequently, and the roads are extremely rugged and difficult to navigate. People don't say anything in words, but they are complaining in their hearts.
Only one person was getting more and more excited, and that was Gongzi Bai. He ordered his people to set up camp in a valley with gentle terrain, and began to assign tasks. Seven teams were assigned to different areas for search, and each team was ten meters apart.
Several big mountains.
Finally, he issued a fatal order: Everyone, listen to me. I will only give you one month. Within one month, you must search this entire area for me, and don’t let go of any grass or trees.
If you notice anything abnormal, come back immediately and report to me
Someone asked: Senior Brother Bai, are you sure that the Righteous Sect will place the mountain gate here?
Of course, the information is absolutely true. Although the environment in this mountain is harsh, there is another mystery. Isn’t Cui Weiling, where we stayed, the best example? There are still people living there.
Understood.
Okay, now that everyone knows their tasks, let’s start taking action immediately.
yes
After everyone took the order, they left the camp and headed towards their respective areas.
On top of the snow-capped mountains, Zhan Chen led everyone on a difficult journey. The place was full of dangers, including not only monsters lurking in the deep snow, but also invisible ice ditch traps.
In just a few days, more than ten people died unexpectedly, and everyone felt very heavy.
At this time, Hu Sanqi shouted from behind: Brother Zhan, let’s take a rest. This ghost environment is really annoying.
Zhan Chen silently looked at the thick snow on the mountain, feeling a little slack in his heart and really wanted to give up.
But this thought just passed by for a moment. Maybe others can be lazy, but he can't. He is an ordinary warrior. There are many demon cultivators in the team, all staring at him. If he doesn't obey Master Bai's orders,
, will be reported.
So he ignored Hu Sanqi's words and continued upward, and the people behind him had to follow.
At this moment, they all felt something strange. The snow under their feet seemed to be trembling slightly. A rumble swept from the mountain and gradually became louder. First, it was like fine sand sliding down, then like rolling thunder, and finally like thousands of people.
The horse is galloping and the waves are crashing.
Everyone immediately realized what happened. Zhan Chen was the first to shout: Run, it’s an avalanche.
Sure enough, they immediately saw a terrifying scene. The mountain above seemed to be collapsing, and the snow was being lifted up, forming snow fog and snow waves, which condensed into thick white clouds and pressed down on their heads.
This scene is extremely spectacular, but beneath the splendor, there is a fatal danger hidden.
Everyone turned around in unison and ran lifelessly down the mountain.
However, although their speed was fast, they were not as fast as the snow waves. Some people were constantly being overtaken by the snow, swallowed up, and eventually disappeared without a trace.
This is a race of life, and no one with a lower level of cultivation will be able to survive.
Fortunately, Zhan Chen and the others were close to the foot of the mountain, so many people were able to escape.
After everything had settled, Zhan Chen emerged from the snow and counted the number of people, only to find that more than 400 people were missing. Most of them were junior and intermediate warriors.
Hu Sanqi was indeed an experienced man. He actually escaped and came to Zhan Chen again and said: Captain Zhan, let’s go back. It’s too dangerous to stay here any longer.
Zhan Chen glanced at him and asked: If Senior Brother Bai takes the blame, can you guys shoulder the responsibility?
At the mention of Young Master Bai, everyone's necks couldn't help but shrink, and finally they didn't dare to speak.
Okay, let’s not mention this again, let’s continue searching.
After this incident, everyone became more vigilant and used their feet to check every step they took. In this way, the dangers they encountered were reduced. After a few days, no one in the team was killed or injured.
However, on this day, a new situation appeared. When climbing over a mountain, Zhan Chen found several black spots in front of him. He quickly turned around and shouted: Everyone, take out your weapons. There is a situation ahead.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Could it be that there really were people from the righteous sect here? So they didn't dare to neglect. They took out their weapons one after another, looked ahead nervously, and got ready for battle.
The group of people on the opposite side gradually emerged. After Zhan Chen and everyone saw it clearly, they were stunned, with incredible looks in their eyes.
The same goes for the other party. It turns out that the two teams are actually disciples of the Moluo Sect, but they don't know each other.
At this moment, a voice came from the opposing team: Captain Huang, I recognize him. His name is Zhan Chen, the champion of this outer sect martial arts competition.
The captain named Huang stepped forward, stared at Zhan Chen with hostility, and asked: Zhan Chen, why are you here?
Who are you
My name is Huang Jianxin, I belong to Senior Sister Qiu Mengting, and I was ordered to come here to search for the remnants of the Zhengdao Sect.
A strange look flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he said: We are just like you, we just came here under the order of Senior Brother Bai.
You are also here to search for the remnants of the Zhengdao Sect.
good
Huh, I'm sorry. We own this mountain, so you can get out. A trace of contempt flashed in Huang Jianxin's eyes. He looked down on ordinary warriors at all, and he only had the cultivation level of King Wu at the beginning.
Why should we give way?
Why can you defeat me with the sword in my hand? Huang Jianxin provoked.
Zhan Chen stared at him silently and said: How will you know if you don't try.
Huh, Huang Jianxin, seeking death, saw that Zhan Chen was so ignorant of the importance of honor. He was so angry that he raised his sword and struck.
Zhan Chen smiled coldly and raised his Chang Geng sword to the first level. Hearing a ding sound, the two of them each took three steps back, and they were actually between them.
Huang Jianxin's eyes showed disbelief and he shouted: How is it possible that I have the intermediate level of cultivation of King Wu?
Zhan Chen stared at the opponent with confidence. He knew that it was not surprising at all that with his Chang Geng Sword and Ruijin Sword Qi, he could compete with the middle-level King Wu.
I don't believe it. Huang Jianxin was unwilling to lose to Zhan Chen with the Blood Sword. He used a set of swordsmanship, and there were many blood shadows wherever the sword passed. This was a set of earth-level elementary swordsmanship. Once used, Zhan Chen was immediately in a state of disgrace.
Disadvantages.
Zhenwu Bao Yuan Jue, the third level of Zhan Chen didn't want to get entangled with him, so he used his own pressure box to guarantee, and a red arrogance immediately rose from his body.
After reaching the realm of the King of Martial Arts, the effect of Zhenwu Baoyuan Jue on increasing his strength decreased again, and he could only increase his strength by five levels.
Even so, this secret method is still rare for the strong King of Martial Arts.
Seeing Zhan Chen's aura soaring, Huang Jianxin felt something bad in his heart, and his sword skills became even more fierce.
In response, Zhan Chen just smiled coldly, thrust out his sword fiercely, a cold star flashed through, and all the blood shadows shattered. Finally, the Chang Geng Sword stopped firmly on Huang Jianxin's throat.
You lost. Zhan Chen said.
Huang Jianxin's body was stunned, and his legs were still swaying. At that moment, he really felt like he was standing shoulder to shoulder with the God of Death.
Zhan Chen put away his sword and said again: If you don't take your people with you, get out of here.
Only then did Huang Jianxin realize and led his men to escape in despair.
Zhan Chen led his people to continue his search work. However, what he didn't know was that there would be greater danger waiting behind him.
