However, Chen Shaojun never expected that the ghost tribe's boundary passage that he had been looking for would actually appear in the Xishan Hunting Ground, and it would be so close to the capital.
impossible!
This was Chen Shaojun’s first reaction!
But soon, Chen Shaojun knew that the news was absolutely correct.
Others may make mistakes, but the city defense army is responsible for the security of the imperial court and will never make mistakes. No matter how incredible it is, the passage to the ghost clan's realm has definitely appeared. This is confirmed without a doubt.
The Xishan hunting ground is not far away. They must have received the news and dispatched urgently at this time.
"Very good!"
For a moment, Chen Shaojun was extremely excited. This was definitely the best news he had received during this period:
"The city defense army has just been dispatched. We will take advantage of this time to enter the ghost clan's territory!"
Time flies. If you want to enter the realm of the ghost clan and find the Shura Ghost Flower, now is the best opportunity.
Phew, Chen Shaojun swayed and immediately headed towards the Xishan Hunting Ground.
Chen Shaojun rented a powerful horse, left the city gate, and headed northwest along the official road. About half an hour later, Chen Shaojun quickly arrived at his destination.
When I was in the capital, I just felt the earth shaking, but when I arrived at the Xishan Hunting Ground, I realized how big the movement was.
The entire area where the Xishan Hunting Ground is located is like a hurricane passing through. There are swaying trees everywhere. In the sky above the woods, countless birds are circling, screaming, falling and flying, flying and falling again. It looks very uneasy, and in the entire area
In the center of the place, there is a dark and gloomy ghostly energy rising into the sky.
This turned the entire area into a ghost-like Shura ghost.
Further down, Chen Shaojun saw countless fluttering Great Shang dragon flags, which were the Imperial Forest Army and the Yulin Army responsible for guarding this place.
The dramatic changes in Xishan made all the Yulin Army and Yulin Army feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and among them, Chen Shaojun also saw the newly joined city defense army.
"This is troublesome. The security here is so tight. It's not easy to enter Xishan."
Chen Shaojun frowned slightly.
If he could not successfully enter the Xishan Hunting Ground, it would be impossible for him to enter the realm of the ghost clan.
This place is too close to the capital. It is impossible for the imperial court to allow the passage to the ghost clan's realm to be opened so close. Moreover, no one knows how long this kind of random passage will last. In other words, there is not much time left for him.
.
"drive!"
It was late but fast. At this moment, another burst of movement came. Chen Shaojun followed the sound and saw several children from the military general family wearing armor, also heading towards the Xishan hunting ground. Their speed was extremely fast.
It only took a moment to reach the foot of the mountain.
"Everyone, get out of the way. We have an order from the imperial court to enter the Xishan Hunting Ground to check for abnormalities in the ghost passage."
The middle-aged man at the head was tall and strong, and he was full of energy. As he spoke, he showed a token.
"It's the Martial Palace Token!"
Chen Shaojun's eyes were sharp and he was greatly surprised.
However, what was even more surprising was what happened later. Just after the man took out the Martial Palace Token, several imperial guards guarding the entrance looked at each other and stepped back together to make way for those people.
Those military generals' children filed in and soon disappeared deep into the Western Mountains.
"The Martial Palace Token actually has this effect!"
Chen Shaojun was greatly surprised.
The next moment, Chen Shaojun changed his appearance and immediately turned into Chen Jun again. Then he grabbed the horse's belly and quickly headed towards the entrance.
"Stop! The Xishan Hunting Ground is now closed, and all outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering!"
As soon as Chen Shaojun appeared, his way was blocked.
"I was ordered by the imperial court to come to support Xishan."
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly and showed his martial arts token.
"No, the edict we received is that only the children of aristocratic families in the capital are allowed to enter, and everyone enters in aristocratic families. Why are you the only one? Which aristocratic family are you from? Where is your family emblem? Why do I
Never met you?"
Unexpectedly, the leader stared at Chen Shaojun with sharp eyes. Instead of letting him go, he looked suspicious.
This scene surprised Chen Shaojun.
"I'm careless. Only the major aristocratic families in the capital can enter."
Chen Shaojun said secretly.
Although some changes occurred, Chen Shaojun did not panic. He just smiled slightly and Chen Shaojun immediately took out another thing from his arms:
"It's normal that you haven't seen me before, because the one who sent me is a little different from the others."
Chen Shaojun leaned forward and showed the East Palace token in his palm as he spoke.
Seeing the five-clawed golden dragon on the token, several Imperial Forest Army guards were shaken all over, with horrified looks in their eyes, and they quickly lowered their heads:
"You deserve to die for your humble position. It turns out you were sent by His Highness!"
"Get out of the way quickly and let the young master in!"
As they spoke, several people hurriedly retreated to both sides to make way for them.
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly and quickly rode into the Xishan Hunting Ground.
The cold wind was biting, and the situation inside the Xishan Hunting Ground was much more serious than Chen Shaojun expected.
The originally dense Western Mountain was now desolate. A large number of trees had been uprooted and lay scattered across the snow. Their trunks were brittle and showed signs of weathering. There were also mutilated horse corpses scattered on the ground, which was very strange.
There was also unknown black dust floating in the air. In addition, Chen Shaojun also saw many messy footprints.
"They are the boots of the Royal Forest Army. It seems that there was a fierce battle here not long ago."
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
In the whole forest, what attracted him the most were some huge, weird-looking footprints. There were also many tear marks from sharp claws on the nearby trees. But for some reason, Chen Shaojun only saw a lot of them along the way.
There were traces of the battle, but there were no corpses of those things killed by the imperial guards.
As they went up, they saw the imperial guards guarding various places, all fully armed and on alert. When they saw the Martial Palace token in Chen Shaojun's hand, they all bowed slightly and saluted, but said nothing else.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Chen Shaojun finally saw the children of military commanders and young men from aristocratic families who had entered here before.
There are quite a few people here who are very unfamiliar to Chen Shaojun, and Chen Shaojun thought that after the attack on the Xishan Hunting Ground, the atmosphere here would be somewhat tense. However, when Chen Shaojun actually saw it, he realized that what he saw was completely different from what he imagined.
On the top of the mountain, it was clearly divided into areas. All the military commanders and young masters from aristocratic families gathered in small groups, each talking about something and gearing up, looking extremely excited.
"How is this going?"
Even Chen Shaojun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
"Chen Jun, why are you here?"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came into his ears, interrupting Chen Shaojun's thoughts.
Turning his head, Chen Shaojun followed the sound, and in the diagonal direction, a figure wearing armor came towards him.
"Zhao Yan?"
Chen Shaojun recognized it immediately.
This is also a disciple of the Martial Palace. When he first challenged in the Martial Palace, Chen Shaojun was ostracized by almost all the disciples of the Martial Palace. This one was one of the few people who was slightly friendly to him, and even seemed to have reminded him at the beginning.
Zhao Yan didn't think that much. When he saw Chen Shaojun, he seemed extremely excited.
"Chen Jun, are you also here for the ghost clan passage?"
"Ghost passage? What is going on? Didn't it say that the Xishan hunting ground was attacked? Why are everyone so excited?"
Taking this opportunity, Chen Shaojun quickly asked. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the atmosphere here was weird.
"Haha, this is the emperor's feet. The capital, what problems do you think can go wrong? Although at the beginning, a large number of ghost creatures appeared, which shocked everyone, and many princes were injured, but now, Yu Linjun and Yu Lin
The army has already calmed down this place, and what everyone is most interested in now is the ghost clan passage."
Zhao Yan smiled and did not hide anything. He told everything he knew:
"The ghost passage that appeared in the Xishan Hunting Ground is simply a god-given opportunity. Now all the major families are discussing that they should enter as soon as possible before the court seals this passage and go to the ghost realm to collect treasures. Everyone knows that the ghost realm has a large number of treasures.
There are treasures that do not exist in the human world. Generally speaking, if you want to enter there, you need to get approval from the court, which is very troublesome. Now is the opportunity to send it, who will miss it? "
When Chen Shaojun heard this, he was greatly surprised. The thoughts of a wealthy family were indeed completely different from those of ordinary people.
"The ghost realm is relatively dangerous. It's very risky for a single person to venture inside, so everyone is used to staying in a group, with three or five people together, and they can take care of each other. It just so happens that we are still short of a few people, Chen Jun, you want
Join us, stay with us?"
Zhao Yan said with great expectation.
He still had a pretty good impression of Chen Jun. Although the people in the state were a bit arrogant, Chen Shaojun's strength was indeed amazing and he was of great help to them.
Chen Shaojun was silent. He had always been a loner and was really not used to forming a team with others. However, on the other hand, traveling with others might not be a bad thing. At least the big family had explored the realm of the ghost clan to some extent, and they were not familiar with it.
He knew more or less, but compared to this aspect, Chen Shaojun was completely blank. If he worked with them, he might be able to save some trouble.
"Um."
Chen Shaojun thought for a moment and nodded.
"Very good."
Zhao Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. He also had the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Chen Shaojun actually agreed:
"Let's go, time is limited, Senior Brother Shen is still waiting there, we will go in soon."
"Senior Brother Shen?"
Chen Shaojun was secretly surprised, but he didn't have time to ask in detail. He followed Zhao Yan all the way and quickly headed towards another area of Xishan Hunting Ground.
Among the many children from aristocratic families, Chen Shaojun finally saw the senior brother Shen that Zhao Yan was talking about.
The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was tall and tall. He was wearing blue brocade clothes and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked outstanding among a group of children from aristocratic families.
