Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

The fat man chuckled.

"But things are unpredictable..."

There was a hint of amusement in the fat man's laughter.

"My dear brother, you have greatly underestimated these two saintly individuals. They may seem reckless, but their methods are actually cautious and sophisticated.

Not only did they kill Cao Feng's disciples, they also took care of two independent cultivators who were following them. This method is not simple!"

……

At the top of Tianyu Peak, surrounded by clouds and mist, Cao Feng opened his eyes slightly, revealing an indescribable depth.

One of his disciples came hurriedly and presented the latest secret information with a serious expression.

After reading it, Cao Feng frowned and wondered in his heart what kind of hidden strength these two people had that they could escape from the siege.

The methods used by the two also made him take them seriously.

"You mean, even Zhu Qi died at the hands of those two?"

Cao Feng's voice was low and dangerous, like a cold wind about to burst out in winter.

He stood in the shadow of the hall, his gaze as sharp as a torch, piercing through the group of disciples outside the hall and shooting straight at the two people in the distance who made him furious.

The disciples were trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe, for fear that any action they took would become a punching bag for the furious Second Elder.

"Yes, Second Elder. Furthermore, it's reported that those two individuals are not only exceptionally powerful, but also possess an extraordinary ability to escape. They are already speeding towards the Imperial Clan.

Should we act immediately and intercept them mid-route before we miss this opportunity? After all, the grudge between us and the Imperial Clan is well known to the world. If we allow them to escape, it will leave endless hidden dangers."

Upon hearing this, Cao Feng's face became even more gloomy, like the sky before a storm.

"Useless! A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

He shouted angrily, his voice echoing inside and outside the empty hall, making everyone panic.

"Two mere saintly juniors have rendered you helpless and even cost you several disciples!

In this case, I will personally take action, not only to take their heads, but also to let them know the consequences of challenging the dignity of our sect!"

After saying that, Cao Feng stretched out his body, turned into a stream of light, rushed straight into the sky, and rushed towards Yu Zong, thinking secretly in his heart.

What on earth could these two guys do to stir up such a storm right under my nose?

I'd like to meet them in person.

Chapter 1,396 Entering the City

After experiencing countless life-and-death chases, Ying An and Xuan Zheng, with their extraordinary wisdom and courage, cleverly disguised themselves and finally sneaked into Hancheng, which is located at the junction of the two forces.

Although this city is not big, it is famous for its unique geographical location and the reputation of its lord Yan Gang.

Yan Gang, a peerless strong man in the late stage of Shoudao Realm, has unfathomable cultivation level, enough to make the two major sects wary of him.

Each of the "Four Vajras" under his command is a leader in the middle stage of the Dao Guarding Realm, and is also a rare strong man!

Yan Gang himself is well-known for his generous character and fierce and cruel methods.

He made many friends, and had them all over the two sects. Most of those who dared to be his enemies were killed by him.

Therefore, even though the two major sects were unwilling to give in, they did not dare to take action easily in Hancheng, so as not to anger Yan Gang and cause him to side with either side, thus breaking the existing balance.

Ying An and Xuan Zheng knew this very well, so Hancheng also became one of their targets. After all, after such a long pursuit, it was time for them to rest up.

Xuan Zheng's decision to bring Ying An to this cold city was actually a well-thought-out decision.

He knew very well that Hancheng was famous for its unique rules and order. Even the powerful people who were rampant in normal times had to restrain their edge here, so it became a shelter.

They were only saints, but the guards of Hancheng were not wary and let them in. Therefore, the two were able to enter the city smoothly without encountering any difficulties.

Upon entering the cold city, a sense of solemnity and order, unlike that of the outside world, hit him. Ying An looked around and saw that the city was well-organized. Even those desperate criminals who had wandered here for various reasons were maintaining a delicate balance under the power of Yan Gang.

He soon realized that this place was not just a refuge, but also an arena where strength was respected but rules were followed.

Here, every desperado is a potential opponent, and everyone's fate is intertwined, weaving together the unique survival rules of this cold city.

Ying An thought to himself that this cold city might be the best place for them to rest for a while.

The people here may not be very strong, but there are definitely no fools.

Ying'an stood in the bustling crowd, his eyes sweeping over every passing figure.

Most of them exude the majestic aura of a saint at the peak of his cultivation, which is the natural expression of his profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

However, among this sea of ​​people, there would occasionally be powerful Dao Guardians who would appear. They were like the brightest stars in the night sky, rare but extremely dazzling.

Most of these strong men were wearing cloaks, with their faces hidden in shadows, adding a sense of mystery.

"Let's go, Xuanzheng."

Ying An whispered to Xuan Zheng beside him.

"Now that we have arrived at this temporary place, let us enjoy this moment of tranquility and gather our strength for the battle to come."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zheng nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The two walked side by side, their steps steady and powerful. The next moment, Xuan Zheng paused.

"Brother, do you have a Holy Stone?"

As they walked, Xuan Zheng suddenly asked, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

The Holy Dao Stone is a treasure for practicing the Holy Dao and comprehending the laws of heaven and earth. For every strong person who pursues the ultimate in martial arts, it is a treasure that they dream of.

Ying An smiled slightly, flipped his right hand lightly, and an exquisite storage ring appeared in his palm.

Lying quietly in the ring were nearly ten thousand holy stones that shone with a faint holy light.

Chapter 1,397 The Tower of Heavenly Martial Arts

In addition, there are also Tie Mang's heavy broadsword and Zhu Lao Ren's light and wind-like green bamboo sword.

Both are rare magic treasures and weapons.

"I have freed myself from the shackles of these rings."

He whispered, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Inside are the relics of the sect's disciples, as well as the treasures of Elder Zhu and Tie Mang. There are tens of thousands of Holy Dao Stones."

"It should be enough to support our subsequent practice."

When Xuan Zheng heard this, he felt a strong excitement in his heart, as if he saw hope for the future.

"Great! This way, we don't have to worry about being forced to leave due to lack of the Holy Stone."

"Kick them out?"

Ying An looked at Xuan Zheng in confusion.

Xuan Zheng's fingers gently stroked the towering statue next to the city gate. It was carved with intricate runes and exuded a faint chill and majesty.

He said in a deep voice: “This giant statue is not only the guardian of Hancheng, but also the threshold to enter this place.

Every person who enters Hancheng, regardless of status, must offer it one hundred Holy Dao Stones every day as permission to temporarily reside here."

When Ying An heard this, his expression changed instantly, from surprise to worry, and his brows were furrowed.

"More than 10,000 Holy Dao Stones are a considerable fortune for us, but here, they will be used up very quickly."

He muttered to himself, a trace of unwillingness and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xuan Zheng sighed softly, his tone revealing a bit of helplessness and determination: “Although Hancheng allows us to come in and get shelter, the rules are strict.

If we want to find a glimmer of hope here, we can only obey.

"Besides, there are many important places in the city that are in urgent need of Holy Stones!"

There was a hint of worry in Ying'an's words, as he knew very well that their current situation was extremely difficult.

During this journey, they hardly had a moment of peace. Their physical strength and energy had reached their limits and they urgently needed a safe place to rest.

"Then what should we do?"

Xuan Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a brilliant idea, and he spoke hurriedly.

"Brother, maybe we can go to Tianwutai!"

"Tenwutai? What kind of place is that?"

Upon hearing this, Ying An couldn't help but feel a little curious.

“That’s an arena set up by City Lord Yan Gang himself. It’s not only the place where he selects his capable subordinates, but also the place where countless warriors in the city fight for their livelihood and honor.

Many people make friends there through martial arts and earn Holy Stones through strength, while the losers must hand over a certain number of Holy Stones as a price according to regulations.

This may be our chance to hone ourselves and obtain the Holy Stone!"

Of course, there are also people who want to be recognized through Tianwutai and become a part of the Hancheng force.

They knew very well that the four great Vajras were all recruited by Yan Gang with his keen eye.

Many of the powerful men hiding in the dark under Yan Gang's command were able to emerge through such opportunities.

This unique recruitment method not only makes Yan Gang's power grow, but also attracts warriors who desire power and glory.

Because of this, even the two major factions, which possessed powerful individuals at the Wang Dao Realm, had to think twice before acting against Yan Gang, knowing full well that any rash action could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Chapter 1398: The Ultimate Way of Playing Pig and Eating Tiger

The years Xuanzheng had been traveling in the Spiritual Realm seemed like the movement of stars, spanning nearly hundreds of millions of trillions of years.

During this long period of time, he traveled across every inch of land and knew the situation in the Qi Ling world and the relationships between the people in various forces like the back of his hand.

However, why he appeared in the holy burial ground remained an unsolved mystery, and he never revealed it to anyone.

Ying An also knew that everyone has their own secrets. Since Xuan Zheng was unwilling to show them to others easily, he chose to respect and understand and did not ask too many questions.

Because in his heart, everyone has the right to keep their own thoughts and past.

After all, everyone has their own story, and he won't ask too many questions.

So, the two of them continued to head towards the Tianwu Terrace which was opened by City Lord Yangang himself.

This is not only a holy place for training and fighting, but also an independent little world.

The two were very curious about everything contained inside, but when they reached the entrance, they were stopped.

Ying An glanced at Xuan Zheng, who had a wry smile on his face.

“I’ve never been in there…”

After asking, I learned that every time you step into this small world, you need to pay a full 500 precious Holy Stones as an entrance fee.

If two people travel together, the fee doubles to one thousand coins.

This figure made the two people, who were already short of money, feel a pang of pain.

"This is fucking expensive!"

Xuan Zheng couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes full of helplessness and dissatisfaction with the high cost.

But on second thought, since I have already decided to come, I can only give up with reluctance.

After stepping into this area, a spiritual energy that is richer and purer than the outside world hits you in the face, as if it can penetrate into every cell, making you feel refreshed.

What surprised the two even more was that the laws of the Dao here were also extremely clear, as if they were within reach, which was of immeasurable help to their practice.

In such an environment, they believed that their injuries and vitality would recover quickly, and they could even make further progress in their understanding of the Tao.

This achievement undoubtedly made the pain they had felt before disappear instantly, and was replaced by excitement and joy!

"Brother, we really came to the right place this time. Look at the spiritual energy around here!"

There was a hint of depth in Ying An's smile. He shook his head slightly and looked around with deep eyes.
