Chapter 106: Xuan Yuan Returns

  Brand Iron Mountain, the headquarters of the Twelve Unions. Eagle Focus returned to this place and immediately led all the remaining people of the Twelve Unions towards Black Wind Stockade. He didn't dare to slow down even a bit, after all, he didn't know when the Jiuzhai Gou people would arrive.

  This time, the Twelve Unions were thoroughly finished. In the entire Twelve Unions, there was no other strong person who could take action except for him. He believed that Jiuzhaigou would come and kill him soon, after all, those twelve people were too terrifying, each one not weaker than him, with extremely sinister means.

  Hei Feng Zhai is on the other side of Lao Tie Shan, this is the territory of Hei Feng Zhai and Bai Gu Zhai, generally very few outsiders set foot here.

  "Who are you? Don't you know that this is the territory of Hei Feng Zhai?" The five people blocked Eagle Jiao and his group who were advancing quickly.

  Glancing at the five people in front of him, Eagle Focus discovered that even their strongest was only at the early stage of Martial King. However, since he had a request to make, he humbly said: "Everyone, I am Eagle Focus, the Alliance Master of the Twelve Alliances. I have specially led all members of my alliance to come and surrender to Black Wind Fortress, so please help me pass on the message."

  "The Twelve Unions!" These five people all exclaimed in unison. Recently, the Twelve Unions have been incredibly popular on Mount Iron! Although the Black Wind Fortress gang doesn't often go out, they still know a thing or two about such big events.

  "You are the master of the Twelve Unions!" The five men seemed to have not yet reacted, and the fat man in the early stage of Wu Wang immediately pushed the person next to him and said: "Quickly, quickly go inform the leader of the stronghold!"

  That man quickly left, and Fatso immediately smiled and welcomed him, saying: "Eagle Stronghold Master, come with me."

  Although in the past, all sixteen villages had to pay tribute to White Bone Village and Black Wind Village every year, it was always Black Wind Village and White Bone Village who sent people to collect. They never entered the territory of White Bone Village and Black Wind Village, only now did they discover that the place where Black Wind Village was located was indeed extraordinary, far surpassing their own mountain gate.

  Before long, Ying Jiao entered the core stronghold of Hei Feng Village. At this time, many people in front of the village gate looked up and saw Ying Jiao's arrival, immediately bursting into a noisy commotion.

  "Is that the Eagle Jiao, the leader of the Twelve Unions that have been making a big stir recently?"

  "I don't feel like there's anything different about him either!"

  At this time, another voice came from beside him, "Don't think too much, he is the leader of the Twelve Unions, doesn't he have some skills? Even if he wants to join my Black Wind Fortress, his status will only be below the fortress master!"

  Just then, a loud voice came from within the stronghold. "The leader has arrived!"

  Everyone looked at each other, waiting for the arrival of the village master. Finally, in everyone's waiting, a man with a slightly refined face, light steps, and a neat long beard under his chin walked out.

  "Pay respects to the village head!" "Pay respects to the village head!"

  Everyone slightly bowed and shouted, Eagle Focus looked at this person and also deeply bowed, saying: "We have seen the leader of the stronghold!"

  "You're Eagle Focus!" Black Wind Village Master Sima Feng walked forward, looking at Eagle Focus.

  "As expected" Sima Feng looked at Eagle Focus and nodded, then immediately asked: "I heard you want to come under my wing, why?"

  "Eagle Focused smiled and said: 'I just want to save my life, I hope the leader won't despise me!'"

  Simma Furrowed his brow and said: "What strength does Jiuzhaigou have?"

  Simafeng still has some understanding of the Twelve Unions and his Eagle Focus. It can be said that the Twelve Unions and Jiuzhaigou are hostile to each other, otherwise he would not have let the Twelve Unions and Jiuzhaigou grow so big!

  What surprised Sima Feng was that with the current strength of the Twelve Unions, they would still be forced to come and surrender to him by the seemingly weak Jiuzhaigou? This couldn't help but make one wonder.

  "The black-robed figure never appeared from start to finish, but instead, twelve people I had never heard of suddenly emerged, each one no weaker than me! Moreover, they could even dissipate others' true energy! It was terrifying beyond measure! All the strong members of my Twelve Unions who went ahead except for me were killed."

  "Twelve people all have strength like yours? Can they also transform into true energy?" Sima Feng's heart skipped a beat, as he had seen the strength of Eagle Focus. In Black Wind Fortress, only he was stronger than him, and even the first warlord Wei Feng was weaker than him! And yet, in Jiuzhai Gou, there were twelve people with such strength, and if they joined forces, they might be able to kill a strong warrior at the early stage of Martial Emperor. For a moment, Sima Feng felt a huge threat.

  "Come with me, I'll send someone to investigate this matter. From now on, you will be the second general of Black Wind Fortress." Sima Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Feng beside him, saying: "As for the first general, it's not just about strength, but also contributions! Do you understand?"

  "Understood!" Eagle Jiao knew that this result was already quite good. If he were Sima Feng, he would have done the same thing.

  The Eagle Focus followed Sima Feng into it, and those twelve union members were also entertained by others.

  ……

  Los Angeles!

  The current situation in Luocheng is tense, with the Wu Ding clan, Niu clan, Chen clan, Mingyang Sect and Luo Shengpai engaging in a struggle that is obvious to all who can see. Although it has not been made public, this is an indisputable fact. However, for now, both sides are still restrained and there have been no large-scale disturbances.

  In the Niu Fu, today welcomes a special guest!

  "White brother, with your help, we naturally welcome you. After all, we have the same goal - Wu Ding Shi! Although our three families and Wu Ding Shi's battle has not yet begun, it will soon start, so let those people come to Luo City as soon as possible. Only by uniting together can we exert the strongest power!" As for someone joining forces to resist Wu Ding Shi, Niu Jing Tian would naturally not refuse.

  Bai Qiutang smiled faintly and said, "That's natural. After all, our several families have a great feud with the Wu Ding clan, so we naturally hope to see the day of their demise as soon as possible. I'll set out today to inform them."

  "Then I'll trouble Brother Bai, although I'd like to keep Brother Bai here, but this matter is of great importance, so I won't keep Brother Bai either." Watching White Qiutang get up and prepare to leave, Niu Jingtian got up to see him off. After sending him out of the main hall, White Qiutang turned around and said: "Brother Niu, farewell for now!"

  Whoosh!

  The white autumn hall rose and disappeared into the sky. At this time, an old man suddenly appeared beside Niu Jing Tian, who was none other than the ancestor of the Niu family.

  "Ancestor!" Niu Jing bowed his head in respect.

  "What's up."

  Niu Jing's expression turned serious: "The situation has become even more severe, Wu Ding is even more terrifying than we thought. According to Bai Qiutang, more than half a year ago, Wu Ding obtained a mid-grade spiritual artifact."

  "Mid-grade spiritual artifact!!!!!" Niu Clan's Old Ancestor was shocked to his core, this was too unbelievable. In a single country, spiritual artifacts were rare, even strong Martial Honored Ones weren't necessarily equipped with one each, let alone mid-grade spiritual artifacts!

  "In that case, it's really troublesome. Perhaps Wu Ding will make a move ahead of time." Niu Shi Lao Zu immediately said: "No way, I have to notify Cheng Tang Gu immediately."

  "Tell the Chen family and the Mingyang Sect about this news, I'll make another trip to Chengtang Valley." As soon as he finished speaking, the old ancestor of the Niu family disappeared on the spot. Niu Qington looked up and saw that he had already flown very far away, leaving Niu Qington speechless.

  ……

  Mingyang Sect, Xuan Yuan has returned today. After being away for nearly half a year, Xuan Yuan has finally come back. Xuan Ziying was somewhat excited; after all, he was her only brother. Upon hearing the news of his return, she rushed out first to chase after him. Behind her, Chui Feng quickly followed up.

  "Brother, you've finally come back." Xuan Ziyin looked at the brother in front of her who seemed even more aloof than before, with tears welling up in her eyes. By his side, Chui Feng was also looking at this younger brother of his.

  "Yes, I'm back!" Xuan Yuan was still the same, one person and one sword, but both the person and the sword were colder than half a year ago. Facing his only younger sister, Xuan Yuan's face finally thawed out, revealing a somewhat stiff smile, apparently he had not been used to this expression for more than half a year. Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yuan looked at Zhuī Chángfēng beside Xuan Zǐyīng and said: "Big Brother Master, you're unharmed!"

  "Junior brother, have you broken through?" Pursuing Long Wind looked at the junior brother in front of him with some incredulity, his voice even slightly trembling.

  Xuanzi exclaimed with joy: "Brother, you've really become a top-notch martial artist!" She naturally understood what Chui Changfeng meant by his words.

  Xuan Yuan nodded and said, "Luckily I broke through half a month ago. If I hadn't broken through that time, I would have died!"

  Chui Lang Feng slightly lowered his head, looking somewhat despondent. Although he had made progress this year, he still couldn't break through that one layer. He let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that fighting really is the shortcut to progress!" Then he turned to Xuan Yuan and said, "Junior brother, congratulations! At this moment, you are already the number one among the young generation of Luocheng!"

  "Elder brother, don't worry, elder brother has always found what he wanted." Xuan Yuan looked at his sister, understood the meaning of Chui Feng's words, and hugged Xuan Ziying's small waist, laughing loudly: "Yes! I have already found what I want most, why force other things!"

  "Brother, let's go see Father together!"

  The three immediately went to Xuan Leng's residence and arrived soon after.

  "Come in!" The three of them hadn't spoken yet when Xuan Leng's icy door opened and his voice came out at the same time.

  Three people entered and found Xuan Leng sitting in a chair looking at them, with a thick stack of documents on the table.

  "Dad, why aren't you cultivating?" Xuan Ziyin thought her father would be cultivating.

  "Father! I'm back!" Xuan Yuan looked at Xuan Leng, his expression still cold.

  "I didn't expect that after just over half a year of not seeing each other, you would really take this step. It seems that in these past six months, you've suffered quite a bit!" Xuan Leng gazed coldly at Xuan Yuan, whose expression was equally chilly, but the words were filled with joy.

  "I've been through it all!" Xuan Yuan didn't elaborate on what he had gone through.

  "This is the path you chose yourself, but it's good that you've made it through!" Xuan Leng gazed at Xuan Yuan with a determined expression, knowing his intention. After a pause, he said: "It's also time to tell you about these things."

  For a moment, all three of them looked at Xuan Leng, waiting for his response.
