Chapter 492: Huang Wu Zhou Clan
It was the weather of late spring. Looking down from the clouds, one could see endless beautiful mountains and clear waters, green willows and peach blossoms, and the scenery was truly not bad.
And when Chen Hang landed on a mountain top, he looked along the murmuring river winding around the mountain, and only a few dozen miles away was a fairly large city, with shops like clouds, eaves and houses like scales, like dog teeth intersecting.
I don't know what kind of festival this piece of land is today, every street and alley was almost crowded with people, rubbing shoulders and heels, very lively.
There were also bursts of shouting and calling coming from time to time, one after another. A rough sweep, this city was truly densely populated.
Such worldly fireworks and popularity, in the past twenty-four years, Chen Hang had not seen many times.
He was not in a hurry to leave for a while, just stood quietly on the mountain top, a look of thought flashing in his eyes.
Since parting with Fu Lao that day, Chen Hang did not stay too long in that small boundary.
Because it was not far from Hongjing Heaven, he first went back to Mouwu Luzhou, took Ge Ji, who had guided him and offered advice, away from Mouwu Luzhou, and then sent a spiritual message, asking Wei Yuanzhong to send someone to send him to Xudu Heaven.
Although Ge Ji was a duke disciple of the Yucang Demon Kingdom, because of his background, he was not very satisfied in the Demon Kingdom.
And after helping Chen Hang capture Yu Xiaoyu and knowing Chen Hang's true identity, Ge Ji completely gave up the idea of staying in the Demon Kingdom, and naturally was willing to sign the essence blood contract again, go to Xudu Heaven to cultivate, and join Chen Hang's mansion from then on.
As for after doing this, because Chen Hang had selected dozens of sect tasks in front of the Zhengbu Jade Tree in Yuchen's Merit Hall years ago.
Going to Xiping Land to suppress the rebellion was just one of them.
There were also tasks like killing demons and ghosts, and suppressing demons and bandits.
Therefore, during the twenty-four years of traveling through the heavens, he was also completing the sect's task talismans, accumulating more Dao merits.
On the other hand, he was taking this opportunity to realize the mystery, hoping to break through the cultivation barrier in front of him as soon as possible and practice an inner scene.
Such years of wind and frost, cold and heat alternation need not be mentioned.
Chen Hang witnessed the freezing of snow mountains, the killing of ice and frost, and also witnessed the wind shaking the sea and the giant waves like mountains.
He had walked on the deep plains, dealt with those strange and unspeakable god-monster hybrids, and killed them until blood rained.
He had also gone to the wild places caused by the catastrophe. Although there were living beings barely settling down and multiplying, because they had not been enlightened, they mostly used knots to record things and lived by slash-and-burn farming, let alone cultivating any Daoist supernatural powers or opening the long-life heaven gate...
And now, the reason why Chen Hang crossed several boundary gates and came to the Wonderful Treasure Land regardless of hardship.
The reason, besides killing a rebel of the Yuchen Daoist lineage, was also to complete a entrustment from many years ago.
Liuhuo Honghua Cave, Qilingzi—
Back when Chen Hang was still cultivating in the Changying Lower Courtyard, he became famous for fighting against all the noble families on Bai Shi Peak alone, and successfully sent his reputation to the Xiaoming Great Marsh.
By virtue of this bold act, Chen Hang at that time was not only specially bestowed with the Zimi Treasure Clothes and Chenshan Seal by the Yuchen main sect, making many noble family members secretly envious and hateful.
Later, as the incident gradually fermented, under the deliberate fame-spreading of Jiang Daolian, he also had the title of "Crown of the Four Courtyards", and was on par with Xie Su, Sima Quantong, and other old people in the lower courtyard, and could exceptionally enter that Liuhuo Honghua Cave to cultivate and seek fortune.
And in the Liuhuo Honghua Cave, Chen Hang saw the fortune left by Qilingzi before his death and his posthumous notes in an underground palace...
"Yellow Dragon Gall, "Qilingzi's Personal Direct Pointing"—
Thinking back again, this ninth disciple of the Huoxia Patriarch was also calm before death, leaving all treasures in front, waiting for future generations, only asking for his bones to be returned to the Huang Wu Mountain of the Wonderful Treasure Land for burial, and the Yellow Dragon Gall back then was truly precious to me."
Chen Hang faced the whistling mountain wind, his thoughts suddenly turned to the past, and he couldn't help shaking his head with emotion.
Although he later won the first place in the Purple Palace in that Dragon Palace son-in-law selection, was entrusted by Tongxuan to Ao Yang, and sent him five types of innate five-element essence of top quality, from then on he did not lack external objects in the filling of the furnace and tripod in the Golden Core realm.
Therefore, the Yellow Dragon Gall he obtained in the Liuhuo Honghua Cave was also of no use.
But for Chen Hang who had just entered the cave back then, it was just an accidental cave experience, and he could get the precious Yellow Dragon Gall?
Even with Chen Hang's temperament, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and had always secretly kept Qilingzi's kindness in his heart.
"Since I have received the legacy of my predecessors, I should also repay it. I have never had time to spare before. Since I have come to the Wonderful Treasure Land by chance this time, I will go to Huang Wu Mountain, and then remove that Daoist rebel."
Chen Hang's thoughts were set at this time.
And after making up his mind, he naturally wouldn't delay, and immediately urged his sword light again.
At this time, someone in the distant city tower saw a red rainbow passing through the sky, like a fire dragon swimming in the air, with fierce light.
However, before the person could be surprised, in the blink of an eye, the rainbow light disappeared again.
In the sky, there were only leisurely blue clouds, sometimes east and sometimes west, and under the clouds, the long river was still murmuring around the mountain, washing away thousands of turbid dust.
It was like this a thousand years ago, and it seems it will remain the same in the future...
Five days later.
Wonderful Treasure Land, Huang Wu Mountain.
A sword rainbow flew over in an instant and stopped steadily on the clouds.
And as the sharp sword light gradually disappeared, Chen Hang also walked out of it slowly and overlooked the mountain and water scenery under his feet.
The mountain was extremely high and steep, the forest trees were lush, and palaces and pavilions were built along the mountain, flashing golden light in the sun, shining brightly, which was quite worth seeing.
And through the thin mist that had not dissipated in the forest for a long time, one could see strands of bright yellow earth Qi rising, several feet high, rotating like play in the air, and then returning to the ground.
It rose again after a while, and then fell again, repeating itself without stopping.
"Two Ren-grade spirit veins, it seems that although the Huang Wu Zhou Clan has declined a lot compared to before, it still has some old foundation, otherwise it would be difficult to keep this foundation."
Chen Hang was thoughtful.
Along the way, he had also carefully inquired about the details of Huang Wu Mountain and knew the past of this mountain.
Qilingzi's original name was Zhou Peng, and he was from the Huang Wu Zhou Clan of the Wonderful Treasure Land. This was the information Qilingzi left in his posthumous notes.
And according to Chen Hang's inquiry, after Qilingzi was taken to Xudu Heaven by the Huoxia Patriarch to cultivate, less than three hundred years later, the Huang Wu Zhou Clan had a civil strife.
The family head was poisoned and harmed by several family elders and foreign surnames, and those family elders and foreign surnames had not yet sat firmly in their positions when they were driven out by the old subordinates of the family head.
The two sides fought for hundreds of years like this, and neither could do anything to the other.
Later, following the sudden rise of a demon sect called the Yin Corpse Sect, this struggle finally came to an end.
Because even Huang Wu Mountain was occupied by the Yin Corpse Sect and became the lair of this demon sect, the so-called struggle for power naturally ceased to exist.
The reason why the Huang Wu Zhou Clan could occupy Huang Wu Mountain again was because the Yin Corpse Sect had a great change thousands of years ago, and the Zhou Clan took this opportunity to gather their strength and narrowly regained their ancestral business.
However, after thousands of years of rotation, the momentum of the Zhou Clan was not as good as when they defeated the Yin Corpse Sect, and they had failed many times in expanding their land, with many clan disciples dead or injured.
Now they were just barely able to keep the ancestral business of Huang Wu Mountain.
As for revitalizing the family reputation, in the eyes of outsiders, it was generally just a joke...
"The practitioners of this Wonderful Treasure Land know the past of the Huang Wu Zhou Clan like the back of their hands, clearly knowing it very well, but when mentioning Qilingzi Zhou Peng, these people all shook their heads together, as if they had never heard of this person."
Chen Hang thought to himself:
"Is it because of the changes in time, there have been changes in the sea and mulberry fields?"
"Or is it because Qilingzi never returned to the Wonderful Treasure Land after going to Xudu Heaven to cultivate, so there is such a situation?"
Just as he was thinking, a noisy sound suddenly rang out under the clouds, getting closer and closer.
Chen Hang looked over and saw two demon cultivators leading the way to call for battle at the foot of the mountain, followed by a crowd of water clan monsters, carp, turtles, and snakes, all holding knives and guns, roughly a hundred.
Of the two leading demon cultivators, one was a deer-horned girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, a clear and beautiful appearance, holding a cold iron sword, the sword taller than the person.
A sharp meaning came from the sword body, the light was soaring, as if it could easily cut steel and iron, blowing hair and breaking it!
The other was a three-decade-old man who was as strong as a bear, and looking at his appearance, he knew that this man was born as a bear demon, with a long and strong body, a wide face and long beard, and a shake of his arms, he had ten thousand jin of heavy strength.
And the man's waist was hung with a crystal fan with a green silk ribbon, with thunder and fire Qi wandering on the fan, which was quite extraordinary.
The Huang Wu Zhou Clan didn't seem to be unfamiliar with this scene. After a while, the family head Zhou Zhen personally led a group of Zhou clan disciples down the mountain to respond, and various escape lights flew up, and the formation was not small.
Before the two sides said a few words, the scolding sound became higher and higher, and the atmosphere was scorching.
In just a few breaths, following a light drink, the deer-horned girl couldn't bear it first, sacrificed the iron sword in the air, and slashed at a Zhou clan member who jumped the most happily.
The Zhou clan member's pupils shrank, but his reaction was not slow at all, and he hurriedly sacrificed a small shield like a sun wheel, biting the bullet and fighting with her.
This scene was not in Chen Hang's expectation. According to his inquiry, the Zhou Clan had not had a major conflict with any force in recent years, just guarding their own one-third of an acre, which could be said to be cautious.
He thought for a moment, pinched the formula with his fingers, summoned a few pieces of clouds and mist to cover his figure, and then flew towards the foot of the mountain.
Cold and sharp, like a group of thunderbolts flying and moving in the air, fast as lightning!
In just the time of a stick of incense, two good hands of the Zhou Clan were defeated under the deer-horned girl's sword, and even the one who was on the field now was just barely supporting with a cavity of blood and courage.
But looking at his panting appearance, it was clear that defeat was just a matter of time, and it was difficult to turn the situation around.
"Family head, this group of demon cultivators has already come to the door for the third time this month. If you don't come up with a response, I'm afraid the surrounding forces will treat my Huang Wu Zhou Clan as a soft persimmon in the future!"
While the battle was fierce, an elder of the Zhou Clan wearing a pine-pattern cloud crane robe suddenly approached the family head Zhou Zhen, his face very ugly:
"Just like the Iron Horse Palace, a group of horse slaves who relied on selling dragon horses to start a business, two days ago when doing business with them, this group of splash thieves actually dared to sit on the ground and raise prices, wishing to ask for a price higher than the sky. When has this happened in the past?"
"It's all because this group of demon cultivators came to the door to seek trouble, family head, if this continues, my Zhou Clan is afraid of the disaster of breaking the door!"
Seeing this elder speak sternly, Zhou Zhen didn't have much movement on his face, just smiled bitterly:
"I don't know what good plan you have?"
The elder gave Zhou Zhen a wink and said cautiously:
"I don't know about that Water Public Ganoderma?"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhen felt a burst of blood rushing to his head, barely closing his eyes to adjust his breath for a while, before he finally suppressed his anger. He said coldly:
"I have said it several times, you still don't believe it!"
"That Water Public Ganoderma was not swallowed by me alone. I am not a dragon-type demon cultivator. No matter how powerful that Water Public Ganoderma is, what use is it to me? Can it compare to the family head position under my butt?"
"In such a situation, if I hide this thing, can I sell it for Dharma money, or can I exchange it for spirit veins?"
This was said plainly and directly, but the elder still didn't believe it, muttering to himself:
"Although that's the case, but some high-man reincarnation, specifically coming to collect debts, is too bizarre. Not to mention that old Chi Dragon doesn't believe it, even the clan disciples are skeptical, could it be—"
The elder still wanted to say more, but seeing Zhou Zhen's gaze was straight to kill, he laughed dryly twice and stopped the topic.
"However... we still have to come up with a chapter."
After a few breaths, the elder couldn't help but offer advice in a low voice:
"Simply do it once and for all!"
Zhou Zhen saw the elder's gaze looking at the two leading demon cultivators, secretly gesturing at his neck.
Zhou Zhen was terrified in his heart, and couldn't care about the stuffiness, shaking his head repeatedly:
"Don't seek death. Although the old Chi Dragon's means are not as good as his father and grandfather, nine out of ten water clan monsters in the Wonderful Treasure Land sell him a face. If the demon cultivators of the world rush up together, how many lives do you and I have to die?"
"Besides, do you think people really have no precautions?"
Zhou Zhen's gaze stopped on the deer-horned girl's iron sword and the fan on the bear demon's waist, and he said bitterly:
"Unless you take out the treasure at the bottom of the box, it is difficult to do anything to them."
"And these two have a sense of proportion in their hands, only hurting but not killing the Zhou clan members who went to battle, and even the injuries are only light injuries."
"The old Chi Dragon is a decent elder, we must not step on our noses!"
"Begging for mercy is not easy to open, and we can't beat them, what should we do?" The elder said angrily.
And before Zhou Zhen could speak, the deer-horned girl not far away suddenly exclaimed:
"Not good, the fierce soul in the sword is out of control, you hurry up and dodge!"
The Zhou clan member who was fighting with the deer-horned girl was startled when he heard this.
He subconsciously looked up and saw the iron sword suddenly shine with blood light, making a roaring sound like a lion and tiger angry. A fierce and evil meaning rushed into the sky, making people feel terrified.
And the deer-horned girl wanted to pinch the formula to control it, but unexpectedly the iron sword turned and slashed, and a snow-white arm fell miserably in the air.
If it weren't for the deer-horned girl dodging in time, I'm afraid even her head would not be saved.
"Not good! How did the fierce soul lose control at this time? Did the junior sister not feed it clear-heart incense?"
The other leading bear demon also lost his calm and self-possessed look at this time. He hurriedly took the fan from his waist and fanned it with force, hitting a few groups of thunder and fire.
But the flying speed of the iron sword was extremely fast, and the thunder and fire were far from reaching the front, so it was easily avoided.
Afterwards, it swirled in the air and stared at the weakest Zhou clan child in the field, wanting to take his life and drink his blood.
Zhou Zhen and the bear demon were both panicked and took action, but neither could stop it.
Boom!
Just when the child was at a loss, the iron sword seemed to hit something extremely firm, and was suddenly shaken and flew out for dozens of feet, its momentum greatly frustrated.
At the same time, a figure faintly appeared in the clouds, and his gaze was looking here.
The iron sword let out a sharp whistle, and the evil spirit surged in all directions, the light shot out, and it turned into a blood light, slashing straight at the clouds!
Chen Hang glanced at the fierce sword, and had no other movements, just pointed his finger lightly.
With a loud bang, like a city collapsing and a building falling, the thick clouds in the sky shattered in the blink of an eye, and were shaken to pieces!
A stinging bright light made everyone in the field hurriedly raise their sleeves to cover their faces, shocked in their hearts!
After everything calmed down, the iron sword and the fierce soul in the sword had long been blown to pieces, and even the remnants could not be put together.
After a few breaths, under the eyes of everyone, Chen Hang just fell from the clouds and descended here. ===== CHAPTER 493 =====
