Special War God

Chapter 3 The Secret of the Immortal Palace Ruins

It was only a dozen miles to the Funiushan Mountain. Xia and Gu avoided the main roads and were very careful along the way. They did not notice that they were being followed and soon felt much safer. After walking into the mountains for more than an hour, they came to a steep ridge. Xia Zhongnan chose this direction and carefully climbed up with Gu Xiuzhang...

After reaching the top of the mountain, Xia Zhongnan stopped and carefully observed the surroundings. He did not find anything unusual, then chose a secluded place and said to Gu Xiu Zhang: "Xiu Zhang, let's rest here first."

Gu Xiu Zhang replied: "Brother Fei, I'm not tired. I think we should leave quickly, or go back to Tianyi Sect directly!"

Xia Zhongnan asked: "What's wrong, do you feel stressed?"

Gu Xiu Zhang said worriedly, "We killed the people of Tian Feng Sect and have already forged a deep hatred with them. Besides, Bai Su Hong has already issued a reward, so it is too dangerous for us to stay outside."

Xia Zhongnan thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me what secrets there are between your mother and the Tianfeng Cult?"

Gu Xiu Zhang said seriously, "My parents have been dead for a long time. I didn't want to mention these things, but now that you are involved, I will tell you. My mother's name is 'Bai Yang'. Together with 'Liu Mei' and 'Wu Tong', she is one of the three maids of Lan Fenghuang, the Saint of Tian Feng Sect. Twenty years ago, Lan Fenghuang got a clue about the cave left by the immortal. At that time, she was preparing to break through to the 'Return to Void' realm and was not suitable for long-distance travel, so she sent the three maids to investigate. If she really finds the cave, she can explore the secrets after she reaches the 'Return to Void' realm.

After many twists and turns, they did find the immortal palace, but it was extremely dangerous, full of traps and magic arrays. They only explored the edge and almost lost their lives. And for some reason, the three who were originally as close as sisters turned against each other during that period, and wanted to kill each other.

My mother finally escaped from the fairy palace, but was seriously injured, and later met my father. The other two may not be so lucky. In fact, I know that the last time they went out was to explore the fairy palace again, but this time they were not as lucky as last time..."

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Is the remains of the Immortal Palace within the borders of the Bai Kingdom?"

He had heard before that Gu Xiuzhan's parents met with misfortune after going to the Bai Kingdom, so he asked this question.

Gu Xiuzhang replied: "Mother didn't tell me, but judging from some signs, it should be in Bai Country."

Xia Zhongnan pondered and said, "Wu State is to the southeast of Bai State, and Wei State is to the northwest of Bai State. Since so many people from Wei State's Tianfeng Sect can enter Wu State and even chase here, it is very likely that they are looking for something, such as news about your mother and others, or all the clues about the Immortal Mansion. It seems that even if we don't touch Bai Suhong and others, since they found your mother's jade pendant, we can't escape. We need to plan what to do next!"

The two fell into a brief silence.

Xia Zhongnan has been in this world for more than half a year and has a general understanding of the situation. The cultivators here are divided into four realms: transformation of qi, transformation of spirit, return to emptiness, and integration with the Tao. This is consistent with the ancient Chinese cultivation concept of "refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Tao".

Xia Zhongnan was originally looking forward to cultivating to a very high level in this world, and then finding a way to return to Earth through the space-time tunnel. However, after more than half a year, he found that this plan was too difficult and almost impossible to achieve.

Although there are many sects and cultivators in this world, most of them are at the primary "Qi Transformation" realm, and only a few can break through to the next realm. As for the Supreme Beings at the "He Dao" realm, they are even rarer than a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn. Even a country or a top sect may have no more than one or two such Supreme Beings.

The promotion of each realm requires not only personal qualifications and understanding, but also a lot of resources. This has led to the fierce competition among cultivators in this world.

The Tianyi Sect where Xia Zhongnan was located was a poor small sect, and the sect master's cultivation was only at the "Spiritual Transformation" level. The sect's resources were scarce, not even enough to maintain the disciples' daily cultivation, so everyone had to go out and earn their own money.

Xia Zhongnan speculated that Gu Xiuzhan's parents took the risk to explore the immortal cave in order to obtain resources for cultivation.

After a while, Xia Zhongnan noticed that birds were startled from time to time in the distance, and the direction was exactly the way they came. If his guess was correct, someone must have followed them all the way.

When Bai Suhong issued the bounty, there were many cultivators from other sects in Deqing Tower. How could these people who had a hard life not be tempted by the bounty of 100 Yuanshi? However, Xia Zhongnan and Gu Xiuzhang killed one and injured one of the three people from Tianfeng Sect in just one encounter, and then made Bai Suhong unable to resist. Their strange methods shocked the others at once. They were not subordinate to each other, so how could they easily provoke these two people?

However, the people who are following them now must have the strength to catch them. It is not easy for these people to gather so many people in such a short time.

Xia Zhongnan looked at the movement in the distance and snorted coldly: "There are really people who are not afraid of death and dare to chase me! If I can let you succeed easily, my position as the captain of the special forces will be in vain!"

He shouted, "Xiu Zhang, some friends want to give us gifts, we should prepare some gifts in return!"

They chose to stay on the ridge because it was high and had a wide view. In addition, the ridge was steep, and most of the area was only accessible by the winding path they had come up from. When Xia Zhongnan saw this place, he came up with a plan and decided to wait here for possible enemies.

He quickly took Gu Xiuzhang to collect nearby stones. There were many large stones on the ridge, and in just over half an hour, they had piled up more than a hundred large stones weighing one or two hundred kilograms on the top of the mountain.

When they had almost finished collecting the information, they waited at the top of the mountain for the tracking team.

Soon, they clearly saw the appearance of the people coming. There were more than 40 people in total. Judging from their clothes, they should be from the same sect. Xia Zhongnan remembered seeing the young man and woman walking in front in Deqing Building.
