Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 218 How did you get here?

Jingzhou, Boundless Cliff.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Zhang Ze stared blankly at the scenery in the distance.

Compared with the text and pictures, this scene seems mysterious and unreal when seen with one's own eyes.

At Zhang Ze's feet, west of the cliff was a broken land.

The magma surged into a river, dividing the red-black earth into isolated islands. At the same time, the broken earth kept rising slowly due to some force, and fell again after rising to a hundred meters.

Over and over again, the broken earth is constantly separated, aggregated and reorganized under the action of magma.

There are no beasts, no plants, no buildings, or elemental creatures.

There was only a river of lava covering the barren land like a spider web.

Chaotic vortexes of aura could be seen everywhere, distorting the sunlight into another color.

This place is a wonder, but somewhat monotonous.

This is Middle-earth, or what once was Middle-earth.

The battlefield of the East-West War.

A few days ago, Zhang Ze was still wondering what would happen if the Pavilion Master and other powerful people acted without any scruples.

Now that he saw it, he felt that the scenery before him was roughly like this.

A broken wasteland with no life and chaotic spiritual energy.

Many years have passed since the great war, but this place still looks the same.

Not only that, the Boundless Cliff under Zhang Ze's feet, within ten miles to the east, was also barren due to the influence of Zhongzhou.

Regardless of the moral level of the barbarians in the west, Zhang Ze feels that the current peace among the three continents is inseparable from Central Continent.

Now the three tribes of humans, demons and barbarians each rule a continent. If the conflict escalates, the final result is probably that Le will exchange homes, and Le will exchange homes.

Everyone demolishes each other's house, and then no one passes, and the game is over.
Jingzhou is adjacent to the former Central Plains, and such scenery can be found everywhere.

But obviously, apart from people like Zhang Ze who are full, few people would come here to enjoy the scenery.

After all, although the scenery is amazing, it cannot be used as food.

No one has ever heard of any treasures in this desolate place. All the records about Zhongzhou and the war that year have disappeared with the demise of Dongqi.

Even if there are risks, the risks involved are not worth it.

If one accidentally falls off the cliff, even a Jindan cultivator may be sucked into the ubiquitous vortex of chaotic spiritual energy.

As for the outcome, it is uncertain.

These spiritual energy vortexes were created by the big guys who fought each other here in the past. Like echoes of the past, they contain an inexplicable power.

These whirlpools appear randomly in Central China. After being sucked in, one's body will either be drained dry or turned into powder by the sword energy. The best result is to be randomly teleported to another place.

The periphery is so dangerous, and entering the core of Central Continent, the heart of the great war, there are other dangers. Even the cultivators who have reached the stage of spiritual transformation and emptiness dare not protect themselves.

"I don't know what hatred or injustice they had back then that led to them being beaten like this." Zhang Ze said to himself.

"It's not interesting. Let's go." Then he turned and left.

I chatted with Li Yueqi before we parted. Although I was just chatting with her, it also gave me some enlightenment.

He always felt that he was too busy recently, either practicing or looking for things to do. The few times he went out were for important matters, and it was time to relax.

I came to Jingzhou partly to give my junior sister a surprise, and partly to just stroll around and see the scenery of the four continents.

Now that I've seen enough, it's time to go.

Zhang Ze planned to stroll around the nearby market and buy some Jingzhou specialties. He remembered that the wine in Jingzhou was very good, and there was a manor called Jiujianxian.

Just as he was thinking this, Zhang Ze suddenly felt someone kicking him from behind.

This was a very novel experience for Zhang Ze, because he always kicked others like this.

Now he was kicked like this, and he was completely unaware of it, and the protective magic weapon on his body had no reaction.

The kick also felt strange. Although he was defenseless, he was still a Jindan after all. This kick could easily kick him off the cliff without hurting him at all.

His body lost control for a moment and fell forward. Just as Zhang Ze was about to escape by using a magic trick, a vortex of spiritual energy appeared behind him.
Somewhere in Central China, God knows where.

Compared to other places in Middle-earth, it's eerily peaceful here.

"It's hard to explain, but that's how I got here. I don't know which grandson kicked me."

Squatting behind a big rock, Zhang Ze spread his hands and looked at the fox demon Bai Tao in front of him.

Since leaving Wangyang City, Zhang Ze didn't expect to see his good fan here.

The moment he was sucked into the vortex, he activated a protective magic weapon on his body, but the vortex only had the ability to teleport and did not hurt him.

As soon as Zhang Ze landed, he saw Bai Tao in front of him.

"So, how did you get here?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Teacher, where are you writing?" Bai Tao also asked.

Zhang Ze, “.”

Bai Tao smiled awkwardly and then got down to business.

According to Bai Tao, she came to Jingzhou to do business on the orders of a trading company, and was negotiating a business deal of Jinyang Stone with several small sects in Jingzhou.

Then, like Zhang Ze, he was curious about the wonders of Zhongzhou and wanted to see them.

In another place, called Jiuyou River, Bai Tao was so bold that she strolled to the side of the lava river and was also sucked into the vortex of spiritual energy.

Now that Bai Tao thinks about it carefully, she feels as if someone pushed her at that time.

After listening to Bai Tao, Zhang Ze asked, "You are here to do business, so you have companions. Someone should come to look for you."

But Bai Tao shook her head.

"I came here alone. Can't I just do business alone?"

"Don't you need people to transport your goods?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.

Bai Tao looked at him like an idiot and said, "Teacher, how do you want to transport it? It won't be like what you wrote in your book."

In his crappy book, Zhang Ze directly described the cargo transport as escorting, with monsters towing the truck, monks escorting, and then encountering a fierce battle with evil cultivators, etc.
Seeing Zhang Ze hesitating, Bai Tao continued to look at him as if he was an idiot, and took out a brocade box with a snowflake logo printed on it from her arms.

After casting a spell to open the brocade box, it was filled with rings of various colors.

"The green ones are herbs, the yellow ones are ore, and the white ones are... I won't tell you this, but this place is empty now. I'm only here to negotiate, and I don't have any goods with me."

After saying that, Bai Tao put the brocade box away.

Zhang Ze, who had forgotten about this due to a brain short circuit, smiled awkwardly. He stood up and looked at the surrounding scenery.

Due to the chaos of spiritual energy, his spiritual consciousness only spread out more than ten feet and then disappeared like a drop in the ocean, with no news left.

Looking east from here, the border of Jingzhou can no longer be seen. It is obviously very far away from the place where he was kicked.

But the environment here was somewhat special. Compared with the scenery he saw at the edge of the Boundless Cliff, it was too peaceful, even peaceful enough to be safe.

Apart from the spiritual energy vortex that suddenly teleported them here, there are no other spiritual energy vortexes here, and the nearest vortex is a hundred feet away.

But compared to the strange things here, he was more concerned about who the hanged man who kicked him was?
No one should know that I have come to Jingzhou, and since they can get close to me without me noticing, their cultivation level must be at least Nascent Soul stage or above.

It couldn't be the Sect Master or Master messing with him; they weren't that bored. But the enemy didn't look like him. That kick was skillful, but it didn't have any killing intent.
Zhang Ze always felt that the man seemed to have something to ask him, but he had no reason, it was just his intuition.

Judging from Bai Tao's clueless expression, it probably had nothing to do with her. The person who kicked him probably wanted him for something else.
Just as Zhang Ze was thinking.

Someone is coming from a distance.

This time Zhang Ze reacted quickly. He immediately retreated behind the stone, slapped a talisman on Bai Tao's forehead, and then put one on himself.

Two figures, one tall and one wide, jumped out from a vortex of spiritual energy. It was obvious that they were not kicked in by anyone, but were prepared.

The two men had strange looks. The taller one had a horse face and a long philtrum. Three strands of yellow beard hung on his chin, fluttering in the hot wind of the Central Continent.

The other man had a dark complexion, a long beard, a nose ring, and a muscular build, as strong as a bull. He carried a rather delicate Taoist sword on his back.

"Young master is truly a man of great luck. Just as we received the news from above asking us to lie low, we found this treasure land." said the horse-faced man.

"Indeed, although I have never been there, I think this place is as well hidden as the headquarters. Without the secret method, even that woman from the Sword Sect can't find this place." The one with the nose ring nodded in agreement.

"Let's go. The young master called me for something. It must be something important."

After saying that, Horse Face cast a few spells first, then raised his hand and pushed away a huge rock in front of him, revealing a secret passage underneath.

"Close the door." The horse-faced man said after the two of them entered the secret passage.

The sound was a little muffled because it came from underground.

"No one comes here, what's the big deal? It will be troublesome when we leave." said another.

"Lazy dog." The horse-faced man snorted coldly, cast a spell to move objects, and sealed the cave entrance again.

After the two men's voices disappeared, Zhang Ze and Bai Tao Viet Cong poked their heads out.

From the conversation between the two, we can tell that they should be evil cultivators from the Hundred Demons Sect.

"Did they bring us in?" Bai Tao looked at the cave entrance with some disgust.

"Not like it." Zhang Ze shook his head. "How could they just let us in and leave us alone? Besides, you and I are new to Jingzhou, who would care about us?"

"Then what should we do?" Bai Tao sighed.

"Let's go in and take a look. Since we're here now." Zhang Ze shrugged.

"Then teacher, you go in by yourself, I'll wait here?" Bai Tao felt that her cultivation was not as good as Zhang Ze's, and now she was just a burden, feeling somewhat guilty.

Zhang Ze stared at the cave entrance, then looked at Bai Tao. "Not good. From what those two people said, it seems their captain has something important to discuss. Maybe someone else will arrive soon. I'm worried about leaving you here."

"Don't worry, I have a way." After saying that, Zhang Ze took out a beast-controlling ring.

Bai Tao naturally recognized this thing. She narrowed her eyes and said with some resistance, "I am a demon, not a monster. What are you doing with this thing?"

"It's just a temporary residence. This thing can also accommodate people. Do you have any other ideas?" Zhang Ze asked.

Bai Tao sighed, "How do I get in?"

"The method is not difficult, but don't worry, I will give you a few things."

After that, Zhang Ze took out a thick stack of letter paper from his arms, "Here are the manuscripts and new books. You can read them slowly to relieve your boredom."

Seeing this good thing, Bai Tao took it without saying anything more. It seemed that she couldn't wait to get into the beast-controlling ring.

"Don't worry, there's something else for you."

Besides Bai Tao, there was also a new book, and he was very excited. But when he saw Zhang Ze flip his hand, a light blue ball appeared in Zhang Ze's hand.

After taking the ball, Bai Tao asked, "Teacher, what is this?"

"Take my golden elixir first." Zhang Ze said casually.

Bai Tao's hand trembled and she almost dropped the golden elixir on the ground.

She looked at Zhang Ze in disbelief. Although she was only eighteen years old, she had seen a lot.

But I have never seen anyone who would just give the golden elixir to others to play with.

Although a cultivator's golden elixir is not a fragile thing, it is also the foundation of a cultivator in the golden elixir stage. If the golden elixir is damaged, even if the cultivator does not die, his cultivation will drop sharply and he will not be able to make any further progress in this life.

"Now, the teacher has handed the golden elixir to me. Although I don't know why, this trust..."

Just when Bai Tao was about to be moved, she saw Zhang Ze waving his hands and saying, "Don't worry, my golden elixir is very strong. It won't matter if you hit it with all your strength. I have several more."

White peach, "?"

She didn't understand and felt that what Zhang Ze said was not human. Where could there be such golden pills in the world, and how many of them?
But before she could ask, Zhang Ze raised his hand and took her into the beast-controlling ring.

Bai Tao did not resist, but after entering, she felt a little uncomfortable, especially since she was holding someone else's golden elixir.

Just when Bai Tao felt awkward, the golden elixir suddenly floated up. As the golden elixir trembled, Zhang Ze's somewhat vague voice came from the golden elixir.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"

Bai Tao: "I can hear you, Teacher, what are you doing?"

"If you don't practice the Soul Control Technique and become your own spirit beast, there will be no communication between the inside and outside of this beast control ring. You can use my golden elixir as a jade messenger for communication."

When he was in the Beast Taming Sect, Zhang Ze was also busy. He developed many new uses for his golden elixir.
After chatting with Bai Tao for a few more words, Zhang Ze put the beast-controlling ring on the ground and took out another one.

This time he got in himself.

After entering, Zhang Ze sighed, took out the pirated Night Demon Emperor Armor, and transformed into a tight-fitting pervert.
After a while, the two beast-controlling rings floated up and then disappeared out of thin air.

After becoming invisible with [Invisible], Zhang Ze strolled to the big rock and examined it carefully.

After just a short look, I was able to figure out some of the clues.

This stone is nothing special and is probably just a temporary arrangement. I think they have just occupied this place.

Zhang Ze recalled the information about the Hundred Demons Sect. The Hundred Demons Sect in Jingzhou was eradicated by the Sword Sect ten years ago. These people were either remnants or new cockroaches.

Although it was done in a hurry, a magic circle was set up around it. It seems that the young master is also a cautious person.

If you force it open, it will probably alert the enemy.

Zhang Ze decided to wait a while.

No matter if someone else comes or the Ox-Head and Horse-Face comes out, he has a way to sneak in.

And this group of people must have a way to leave this place.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Ze saw the spiritual energy vortex appear again, and another person walked out of it.

Seeing Zhang Ze's appearance, he looked at him a few more times.

He had seen this person before.

On the way to Jingzhou, he met this man once on a flying boat. Because this man always acted cautiously and a little bit vulgar, he looked at him a few more times.

As soon as Jin Qiong came out, he did not go directly into the cave like the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, but looked around.

Although even the young master laughed at him for being unnecessary, he felt that his caution was necessary. This was the young master's hegemony and he could not afford to make any mistakes.

But a habit is just a habit. When he thought of the future his young master promised him, even Jin Qiong couldn't help laughing.

"Even the Sword Sect wouldn't have guessed we were hiding here."

Zhang Ze, who had been following Jin Qiong and inspecting with his hands behind his back, nodded.

indeed.
