Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

When Lu Zhi entered Hanyuan Prison, he saw eight forked roads. He had already learned about them when he came in. The highest level of cultivation inside was only at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

So he didn't have any scruples. Looking at the fork in the road before him, he went straight to the leftmost road. He planned to start looking from the left.

This time he entered Hanyuan Prison because he followed Xiao Yunshen's arrangement and planned to find an opportunity to make Zhang Chen have an "accident" in there.

When he knew that Zhang Chen was only at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, he no longer took Zhang Chen seriously. What he considered most was how to make Zhang Chen's death reasonable without suspecting him. After all, killing a fellow disciple in Hanyuan Prison would be severely punished.

Today, Zhang Chen was practicing when he heard Qin Ming knocking on the door and then a voice came.

"Junior Brother Zhang, do you want to go to Area 2 together?"

Zhang Chen has learned a lot about Hanyuan Prison in the past few days. They divided it into eight areas by themselves. The environment of each area is roughly the same, but the scenery is slightly different.

For example, in Area No. 2 that Qin Ming mentioned, there is a place with a huge space. Above the head, there is a large area of ​​glowing stones in various colors, which is considered a landscape of Hanyuan Prison.

In addition, Tang Cheng, who lives in Area 2, is an apprentice alchemist. He can make a kind of cold-proof pill. After taking it, there is no other effect, but the body will produce heat to resist the cold. Due to its low price, it is very popular in Hanyuan Prison. Zhang Chen once thought that he came here specifically to do business.

Zhang Chen thought about it, opened the door and walked out.

"Let's go, it's a good opportunity to buy some cold-proof pills, and let's also go check out the bottomless abyss in area 5 that you mentioned before."

"What's so good about that abyss? You can't see clearly beyond ten meters at most. And it's spooky. If the cold wind blows, you won't be able to escape anywhere. Besides, there hasn't been any cold wind for two days. We have to be careful."

The two talked as they walked, and soon they left Area 8 and came to Area 2. Zhang Chen looked at the scene in front of him. In the huge cave, the ceiling was covered with pieces of glowing fluorite. Combined with the cave environment, Zhang Chen seemed to be standing in the dark night with a sky full of stars.

I become very small, like a tiny star among the many stars in the sky, insignificant.

After seeing the scenery and buying some pills, Zhang Chen also went to take a look at the bottomless abyss in Area 5. That place was very close to the fork in the road. At Zhang Chen's speed, it would only take him one minute to enter from the fork in Area 5.

In that cave, there was a vertical entrance that was more than 100 meters long and several dozen meters wide. Both sides of the entrance were extremely smooth due to the environment of the cave. Zhang Chen threw a stone down, but there was no echo for a long time.

Those imprisoned here are all disciples in the Qi Condensation Stage. They cannot fly in the air, and if they fall from here they will definitely die.

Zhang Chen was just about to go out when he suddenly discovered several plants on the cave wall where the cave entrance was connected to the ground. Judging from the thickness of the plants, they had probably been growing for who knows how many years.

Cold air often gushes out of this cave, and this abyss is also a channel for the cold air to gush out. Zhang Chen has never seen plants in other places, but he did not expect that plants would grow near the cold air exit. He could not help but sigh at the indomitable and tenacious nature of life.

The other areas were all similar, so Zhang Chen did not go to see them. In addition, there were several areas where disciples with bad tempers lived, and Zhang Chen did not want to cause trouble.

So Zhang Chen went back to continue his training. Here, Lu Zhi was looking for Zhang Chen, but he was not in a hurry. He first explored the forks in the road one by one, familiarized himself with the environment, and looked for a place to create an accident for Zhang Chen.

Then he asked around about the new detainee, but never mentioned Zhang Chen's name to prevent Ma Liang from suspecting him if anything happened to Zhang Chen in the future. Finally, three days later, by chance, he found out from Qin Ming that there was a new person in their District 8.

So he began to plan and prepare to lure Zhang Chen out.

Zhang Chen had just finished practicing that day. He opened the door to get some fresh air and chatted with Qin Ming for a few words. Zhang Chen was startled by a few words he said unintentionally.

It turned out that he said that a newcomer had come to Hanyuanyu, and he was a senior brother who had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation, from Zixia Peak. He was a good person and gave him a few spirit stones.

"Newcomer, ninth level of Qi Condensation, Zixia Peak."

Zhang Chen thought silently in his heart, what does these pieces of information mean when put together, and Xiao Yi is also at Zixia Peak.

"I hope I'm overthinking it. If..., I have to be on guard, then I can only rely on it."

Zhang Chen picked up the storage bag and felt something inside.

A few days passed like this, nothing happened, and no one came to look for Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen had been very uneasy in his practice in the past few days, always worrying that the newcomer might be sent by Xiao Yi to deal with him, so he practiced with one eye open.

Later he figured it out and realized that he would not dare to kill himself in front of so many people, otherwise he would be charged with the crime of killing his fellow disciples, so he started to practice with peace of mind.

Three days later, Qin Ming suddenly came back from Area 2 and told Zhang Chen something bad. He went to Area 2 today to buy some pills. He found that Zheng Hu and Lu Zhi from Area 1 had joined forces to unify Hanyuan Prison and were now starting from Area 2.

"Why are they unifying Hanyuan Prison?" Zhang Chen asked puzzledly.

Qin Ming blurted out:

"He must be trying to seize everyone's cultivation resources."

Then he continued worriedly:

"Originally, we have maintained a tenuous balance among the several districts. Now Lu Zhi has come and joined forces with Zheng Hu from District 1. The two of them are the most powerful among us. Junior Brother Zhang, what should we do?"

Zhang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then let's unite all the others. No matter how strong the two of them are, they can't defeat so many of us."

They acted right away. Zhang Chen and Qin Ming called Duan Tiande and everyone else, told them the current situation, and then went to other areas to notify them.

By the time they went to join others, Lu Zhi and Zheng Hu had already reached area four.

Finally, they began to confront each other in Area 6. Zhang Chen and his team joined forces with 18 people from Areas 6, 7 and 8, while Lu Zhi and Zheng Hu also had 11 people.

"What are you doing? The two of them are trying to snatch everyone's cultivation resources. Why are you still standing on their side?"

Qin Ming said to the nine people opposite.

"Who said we want to snatch everyone's cultivation resources?" Lu Zhi looked at Qin Ming and said with a grin:

"We just want to rob you."

After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Chen casually.

This made Zhang Chen feel cold in his heart. Although Lu Zhi pretended to be casual, Zhang Chen was very familiar with that look. It was a murderous look.

"I don't know him at all. He wants to kill me. There is only one possibility. He was sent by Xiao Yi."

Zhang Chen analyzed coldly in his heart and looked at the current situation.

"I guess he is using this as an excuse to create chaos and take the opportunity to kill me."

At this time, Lu Zhi said:

"Hand over your storage bag voluntarily to avoid physical pain. After all, magic has no eyes. If something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Chen inadvertently.

"Who are you trying to scare? Although this is Hanyuan Prison, do you dare to kill anyone?" A young man on Zhang Chen's side shouted.

Others also echoed this. The spiritual energy in the Hanyuan Prison was thin. Without spiritual stones for cultivation, the progress of cultivation would be extremely slow. Moreover, the Hanyuan Prison would blow cold air from time to time, and one must practice martial arts to consume spiritual energy to resist it. Without spiritual stones, one could not replenish spiritual energy, and that would be worse than death. Therefore, unless it was a life-and-death decision, who would give up the spiritual stones?

Lu Zhi looked at Zheng Hu, smiled knowingly, and then said:

"Since you won't take it out on your own initiative, then we'll take it."

After saying that, he led the people behind him and rushed towards Zhang Chen and the others.
