Chapter 77: The New Campsite

  Dongyue City

  The lord of the city, the Pong family, is quite overbearing and powerful, and in the entire Dongyue City, it is almost a one-man show by the Pong family. In Dongyue City, apart from the Pong family, there are no other forces with strong martial artists, and most forces have surrendered to the Pong family.

  Chi Ying Sect, one of the top powers in Dong Yue City, had a sect master and great elder who were both strong experts from the late Martial Emperor period. However, some days ago, the great elder was summoned away by the Pang Clan, so now Chi Ying Sect only has one Martial Emperor from the late period, the sect master.

  Akakage no naka e! -> Inside the Red Shadow!

  "Wu Hong, are you kidding me? Twelve early-stage Martial Emperors and one mid-stage Martial Emperor, a total of thirteen powerful Martial Emperors went to hunt down two young men, and you're telling me that you were beaten back and three people died?" The eyes of Chi Ying, the Sect Master of Chi Ying Sect, turned icy cold, his face as if frozen in a thick layer of ice, emitting an aura that inspired fear.

  The leader Wu Hong, who was chasing Xu Hua and Luo Cheng, lowered his head and remained silent. After Chi Lang finished speaking, Wu Hong said seriously again: "Master, those two are very strong and not weaker than me. Moreover, their methods are strange and can control the blood in our bodies. If we didn't run fast, maybe we wouldn't have come back either."

  Chi Yan fell silent, but his gloomy gaze remained fixed on Wu Hong, as if trying to discern how much truth and falsehood were in his words. After a long while, Chi Yan finally withdrew his gaze, his eyes clouding over with uncertainty as he spoke: "This method of controlling blood is unheard of, but the Tian Xuan continent is vast, so it's not surprising that such an extraordinary person exists. However, I don't care who he is - to dare kill my only son, Chi Yan's sole heir... even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth, I will avenge my child and put their spirits at rest."

  "Wu Hong, I'm leaving this matter to you. Send someone to investigate the identities of those two people and find out their whereabouts. If there are any discoveries, don't take any rash actions, notify me immediately, understood?"

  Wu Hong was shocked in his heart and secretly thought: It seems that this time the Sect Master is really angry. "Sect Master, that Great Elder..."

  Chi Yan's expression turned cold and he said, "What, is my word not as useful as the Great Elder's? The Great Elder is not here, so I am in charge of the Chi Ying Sect. You can go down now!"

  "Report back to those below." Although he was unwilling, Wu Hong had no choice. Now that the Grand Elder was not around, everything within the sect was decided by the Sect Master, and no matter what the Sect Master ordered, he could only accept it.

  "This time, Pang's family made a big move, but I don't know what they're going to do." After Wu Hong left, Chi Lang was pacing back and forth in the room alone. "The Pang family is too overbearing, and I don't even know if Father has successfully passed his tribulation. If he did, then maybe my Red Shadow Sect can rival the Pang family and become the ruler of Dongyue City."

  Pang's family is the only one in Dongyue City, suppressing other forces and not allowing the emergence of other martial arts masters. In the past, several warriors who were about to become martial arts masters were killed by Pang's family. Since then, many warriors have left Dongyue City.

  In a flash of several days, Xu Hua and Luo Cheng had already returned to the camp on the edge of the Taihang Mountains!

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  In the mountains and forests, many agile warriors were shuttling back and forth. Most people held some demon beast meat in their hands, which was the fruit of victory.

  "Tie Tou, how was your harvest today?" Seven or eight big men met and exchanged greetings, and as they drew closer, they saw the enormous creature being dragged by the person opposite them. "Huh? A second-class Iron Arm Ape! You hunted it alone?"

  "Yes, I ran into this big guy today and almost got killed by it, but fortunately, I was the one who ended up killing it." The newcomer's entire body was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was the monster's blood or his own. "However, I'm not lightly injured today, so I won't be coming out tomorrow."

  "This iron-armed ape is enough for you to practice for several days." The group of seven immediately helped the big man, who was covered in blood, lift up the dead iron-armed ape. "We're not as lucky as you, we only killed two first-level demon beasts, and the demons in this area have been almost wiped out by us. We need to go deeper to hunt for more demons tomorrow."

  "Good luck to you." The blood-soaked man sincerely wished.

  They soon returned to the camp and were about to greet others when they suddenly saw two people who had been missing for a long time.

  Young Master, Leader

  "The young master and the leader have returned!"

  These people immediately surrounded them and greeted Xu Hua and Luo Cheng, who had just returned here. The surroundings of this pool have completely become the habitat of these people, with their traces everywhere.

  Xu Hua looked around at nearly a hundred people and said, "Haven't the others returned yet?"

  "Gentlemen, the demonic beasts around here have been mostly killed off, so everyone needs to go deeper to hunt them down. Generally, it's only when the sky is completely dark that everyone will return." It had been over a month since they last met, and Hei Pao had grown even stronger. Xu Hua estimated that Hei Pao was not much weaker than himself.

  "Is that so?" Xu Hua fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said: "It seems we must change places. This place should be left for those newcomers. If you all kill the demonic beasts, what will they do? However, this place is not easy to find!"

  Everyone was waiting for Xu Hua to make a decision, when Luo Cheng suddenly said: "Young Master, do you still remember the territory of the Blazing Bird and the Golden Giant Ape? The powerful demons there were all hunted down by us, it should be a pretty good place."

  "After all, it's no longer the outskirts of the Taixing Mountains, almost all the three-tiered demon beasts can stay there?" Xu Hua said uncertainly.

  "Sir, our team's combined attack can now kill some third-level demonic beasts." The men in front shouted. They wanted to become stronger, and this place could no longer meet their needs. Only by going deeper into the Taihang Mountains would they be able to do so. However, if they went deeper into the Taihang Mountains, they wouldn't be as relaxed as they were now, and someone would definitely die. But compared to this, they wanted power even more.

  At this time, Hei Pao also said: "Young Master, if we encounter a powerful demon beast, the three of us can completely kill it. Even if you and Luo Cheng are not here, I alone have the confidence to kill a powerful third-grade demon beast. This is feasible."

  Hei Pao had long wanted to delve deeper into the Taihang Mountains, but in order to help the young master protect this group of Han people, he had been staying here. In fact, his heart had been burning with passion for a long time, and now his strength had increased by an unknown number of times compared to before, and he was already capable of becoming a Martial Emperor. However, he didn't, he was waiting for his physical strength to become even stronger, accumulating more thickness, the harvest of crossing the calamity would also be greater.

  Xu Hua thought for a moment and said: "Okay, but before that, arrange the next batch of people to come over. When they are strong enough, you can take these people away."

  "Take a good rest for three days and then venture deeper into the Taihang Mountains!"

  Upon hearing this news, everyone was extremely excited and trembling with anticipation, although it had only been a few months, they had already become accustomed to the bloody battles of their lives.

  Xu Hua, Luo Cheng and Hei Pao entered the secret cave under the Shui Tan, preparing to pick up the next batch of members.

  Walking in the dense cave, Xu Hua asked: "Hei Pao, how is the effect of the Crystal of Life?"

  As soon as the crystal of life was mentioned, Hei Pao immediately became excited and said: "That's even better than Tiancai Di Bao. If I have a large amount of crystals of life, I can enter the second stage of Lian Ti Shi in a short period of time."

  "That's natural, if even the strong ones like Wu Zun or Wu Di were to find out, they would definitely come to seize it." Luo Cheng, after all, was someone who had obtained the Blood Saint's memories, and his understanding of nature far surpassed that of the other two.

  Hei Pao was taken aback by the words, and then fell silent. Xu Hua smiled and said: "Since you've followed me, I naturally won't treat you unfairly. However, Life Crystals are not easy to obtain. Before we leave, I'll give you 50 Life Crystals, hoping that you can properly increase your strength."

  "Thank you, young master." The black-robed figure trembled all over and said.

  During this period, Xu Hua's gains were not small. The number of Life Crystals in his body had exceeded 1,200, otherwise he wouldn't have been so generous as to give the black-robed man fifty crystals directly. After all, the life energy contained in each Life Crystal was equivalent to the total amount in a Martial King's body.

  Luò Chéng didn't have any objections and followed the young master on the way. The benefits he got were absolutely incomparable to those of Hei Pao, and Hei Pao was also a good person.

  Jiuzhaigou seems to have been quiet for a long time, with hardly any members coming out to move around, each one is diligently cultivating in seclusion. In fact, it's not the case, Jiuzhaigou always has a group of people outside, secretly bringing back many people, these people disappear after entering Jiuzhaigou and do not appear in front of ordinary people. However, some people speculate that there may be a big secret deep within Jiuzhaigou, these people should be in the forbidden land, although everyone is curious, no one dares to trespass on the forbidden land.

  He Tao and Lu Zhen are the deputy owners of Jiuzhaigou, and they are also the only ones who know the secret of Jiuzhaigou except for Xu Hua, Luo Cheng and Hei Pao.

  "He Tao, how's your cultivation of 'Refining Body Technique' going?" Lu Chen asked He Tao in a room.

  "It's okay, my physical strength has increased a lot." He Tao responded: "Lu Zhen, you said that the village master and the young master are going to do something, but I feel that those people are so terrifying. I think if all of them appear, maybe we can dominate the entire Lao Tie Shan."

  Lu Chen nodded and then shook his head, saying: "These things are not what we should be concerned with. However, there is one thing - our strength must absolutely not fall behind, otherwise we will be forgotten by the young masters."

  "It's true, I think Jiuzhaigou is no longer valued by the young masters. If we were a bit weaker, we might only be able to stay in Jiuzhaigou. Our current strength is all thanks to the young master's help. Without his support, we wouldn't have been able to get far."

  The two of them are quite capable now, but if they hadn't received resources from Xu Hua, they wouldn't have made it this far.

  Jiuzhaigou forbidden area, suddenly triggered a **.
