Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

At the border of the Zerg, in a place called Dalong Mountain, the six Jindan stage elders and the leader of the Qingyu Sect were confronting the creatures in front of them. In front of them were ten creatures with particularly strange looks. Some had human bodies but insect heads, and others had human faces but insect bodies below the neck. Both sides did not take action, but just watched each other.

At this time, dozens of flying insect beasts came and grabbed many living people in their claws. They were all young people, many of whom were children. They flew in front of those strange creatures, threw those people down directly, and then flew away.

When those people saw the strange creatures in front of them, they all showed fear on their faces. The children seemed to have cried their voices hoarse and just kept shedding tears, unable to make any sound.

The creatures' eyes gleamed with brilliance and they licked with their tongues. One of the huge insect beasts grabbed a child and stuffed the child into its mouth. There was a continuous crunching sound as the child's throat stretched and contracted after a while and the child was swallowed into its stomach. The others were so scared that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled. The less courageous ones suffered from incontinence and fainted.

"Let's go up and teach these beasts a lesson."

A middle-aged man dressed in dark blue, with a fat figure, looked at the evil deeds of the insect beasts in front of him with his eyes spitting fire.

"Fifth Elder, please be patient. Now is not the right time."

Lin Sheng, the head of Qingyu Sect, opened his eyes, glanced ahead, said something lightly, and then closed his eyes again.

"Master, this is too frustrating. You stay here and I'll go kill some animals somewhere else, then bring their carcasses back and roast them in front of them."

Seeing that the headmaster did not speak, the fifth elder quietly retreated a few steps and flew away in one direction.

Seeing this, several insect beasts on the opposite side looked at one of the insect beasts whose upper body was no different from that of a human. It growled at the two insect beasts next to it, and then the two insect beasts flew directly into the air and chased in the direction of the fifth elder.

"Master, do you want to go and provide support? I'm afraid something might happen to the Fifth Elder."

A man in green asked the headmaster.

"No need. Those two third-level primary insect beasts can't do anything to him. At most, they can injure him a little and teach him a lesson. He is just too impulsive."

After Lin Sheng finished speaking calmly, he closed his eyes and started practicing again.

Seeing this, the man in blue left and turned to chat with others.

"How are the states of Zhao, Qin, and Wei?"

"I heard that the situation is not very optimistic. News has come from Wuyin Sect of Zhao, Yinyun Peak of Qin, and Youlan Valley of Wei. The battles over there are also quite tragic."

"I heard that the Zerg gave birth to a new Zerg King in the past hundred years. Is that true?"

"It was discovered by the Grand Elder of Yinyun Peak, so it shouldn't be fake."

"The Zerg now has fifteen Zerg Kings, and we humans only have ten Yuanying-stage seniors. The pressure is getting greater and greater."

"I hope our leader can break through as soon as possible."

Everyone looked at Lin Sheng. Lin Sheng had already reached the peak of the Jindan stage and had the best hope of breaking through.

……

After Zhang Chen came out of Lu Chuan's room, he went straight back to his room. Although Lu Chuan didn't say anything, Zhang Chen could feel a pair of cold eyes staring at his back until he walked away.

Zhang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and practiced, but he was thinking in his mind.

"That Lu Chuan will definitely find another chance to deal with me. I need to think carefully about how to deal with him. I am definitely not his opponent as he is in the late stage of foundation building. But he seems to be injured. Even if his strength has declined, I still cannot resist him."

A few days passed in a flash, and Zhang Chen had not been idle during these days. He chatted with his fellow disciples, asked questions indirectly, and got to know more about the foundation-building period, paying special attention to the situation of spiritual consciousness.

When one's cultivation reaches the foundation-building stage, spiritual consciousness will arise. Spiritual consciousness can be regarded as a kind of mental power that can control objects, detect information, and attack opponents. Generally, the range of spiritual consciousness in the early stage of foundation-building is fifty meters, which doubles in the middle and late stages.

Moreover, during the Foundation Establishment Period, spiritual energy is transformed into spiritual power, so the effect of the same spell is much stronger than that during the Qi Condensation Period.

The more Zhang Chen understood, the heavier his expression became, and he became more aware of the gap in strength between him and the other party.

Three days later, bad news came that Boulder City was breached by the Zerg. Boulder City was not far from Blackrock City, and the Zerg's next target might be this place.

Therefore, Lu Chuan began to arrange for the disciples of Black Stone City to go out of the city to investigate the movements of the insect swarm, and the army in the city was also constantly mobilized to strengthen the defense.

Zhang Chen was also arranged to go out that day, and was instructed to explore Centipede Peak between Boulder City and Black Stone City. He was also required to stay at Centipede Peak and monitor the swarms of insects that might attack from Boulder City at any time.

After Zhang Chen received this task, his face changed instantly. He immediately realized that this must be Lu Chuan's conspiracy. He wanted him to be stationed there, and when he died, he would directly blame it on the Zerg. It was perfect.

Zhang Chen had been trying to find a solution for many days. He thought about giving spiritual stones as a gift to ensure safety, but he quickly rejected the idea. Giving too little would be useless, and giving too much might backfire and attract more attention from the other party.

Among the disciples defending Black Stone City this time, there were also disciples from Zixia Peak. Zhang Chen heard that Lu Chuan took good care of those disciples from Zixia Peak and did not arrange for them to go out of the city to explore. Zhang Chen knew that Lu Chuan must want to join the lineage of the Great Elder.

Moreover, Zhang Chen also heard that Lu Chuan had failed to break through the realm many times, and he probably joined the lineage of the great elder in order to have a chance to improve his realm.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen knew that Lu Chuan would definitely not let him go.

Thinking that he already had a lot of spirit stones and had no shortage of resources for cultivation, plus the sheepskin map he got in the palace, which might have a spirit stone mine, Zhang Chen began to think of escaping from the sect. He was not taken seriously in the sect, and now he was in deep trouble.

So Zhang Chen came to Sima Feng's room and told him his idea.

"Are you planning to defect from the sect?"

Sima Feng was a little surprised.

"They won't let me live, and there's nothing I can do."

Zhang Chen was also extremely helpless. He had already offended Xiao Yi, which was equivalent to offending the Great Elder. Because of the coming war, they had no time to deal with him.

But now Lu Chuan also wants to deal with him, and Zhang Chen finds it difficult to resist his strength.

"Defecting from the sect is a serious crime. The entire sect may hunt you down. Where can you run to?"

Sima Feng looked worried and looked at Zhang Chen with great concern.

"So I had to find an opportunity to fake my death and escape. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to escape the sect's pursuit."

Zhang Chen was looking outside, thinking about something, and suddenly he thought of something.

Not far from Centipede Peak is the Ten Thousand Insect Valley. After careful consideration, Zhang Chen decided that he could use the Ten Thousand Insect Valley to achieve his goal of faking his death and escaping. Lu Chuan would definitely come by then, so it would be a good opportunity for him to be a witness.
