Chapter 1080 Exploration
After Chen Yang led everyone away, he first used his spiritual power to scan the surroundings. Once he confirmed they were not being followed, he told everyone what Old Monster Zhang had said earlier.
It turned out that not long ago, Old Monster Zhang had already reunited with the Great Elder of the Sword Sect and others.
Although they had joined forces to deal with the Foundation Building ferocious beast, they could only hide when the Harmonious Core Venerable appeared later.
“Later, we learned that the Harmonious Core Venerable was actually the city lord of Yao Gu City.”
“Although the three of us had succeeded, the remaining people… used their lives to forge a path for us to succeed.”
Old Monster Zhang’s voice choked with emotion as he said this, and the others remained silent.
Among those who had followed the Great Elder of the Sword Sect, the only exceptions were the strongest existences in the current Martial Realm.
Now, only two of them had survived.
And all of this was because no one had guided them. If Wu Min had been there to provide guidance and assistance, the death rate would not have been so high.
“So, how did those two get separated from you later?” Ruan Dongjun of the Sword Sect asked anxiously.
Old Monster Zhang immediately slapped his thigh in regret, “I didn’t know you were coming to rescue us. After the city lord of Yao Gu City left, we stayed near Yao Gu City, looking for opportunities to intercept some of Yao Gu City’s people.”
“Later, after these guys noticed us, we were constantly on the run and hiding.”
“Just now, we decided to make one last push. After I attracted everyone’s attention, the two of us went to the undefended Yao Gu City. It should be almost time now!”
“So, we need to hurry up and catch them before they make their move!”
Everyone’s scalps tingled after hearing this.
Did they really have to go to Yao Gu City?
Earlier, when Chen Yang mentioned going to Yao Gu City, it was likely a ruse to deceive people from the Underworld.
But now, the Great Elder of the Sword Sect and the senior disciple of Taoism had gone to Yao Gu City with the resolve to die. What were they supposed to do?
Everyone’s gaze immediately fell on Chen Yang.
Chen Yang didn’t hesitate and immediately said, “Alright, I happen to know the way to Yao Gu City. Since we’ve already decided to stay here for a while, it’s best to know ourselves and our enemy.
“Taking this opportunity to scout Yao Gu City is a good idea.” wap.kanshu伍.net
Along the way, Chen Yang and Old Monster Zhang exchanged the intelligence they currently possessed.
Old Monster Zhang had also encountered many peak Foundation Building cultivators from the Underworld before, and he had learned a lot from them.
However, he didn’t know as much as Chen Yang, at most he knew that Yao Gu City was currently undefended.
And regarding the Underworld, many of its inhabitants didn’t know much either.
The vastness of the Underworld and the long distances between cities.
More importantly, there was a high chance of encountering powerful ferocious beasts or attacks from other forces along the way.
However, regarding the Forget Worry Sea, Old Monster Zhang did know a little more than Chen Yang.
Earlier, while intercepting people from the Underworld on the road, Old Monster Zhang had encountered a group transporting goods.
These people had originally intended to pass through the Forget Worry Sea!
“The Forget Worry Sea doesn’t belong to any force. Although it is very dangerous and chaotic, its vastness makes it ideal for hiding.”
“The most important point is that many people depart from a port in Yao Gu City.”
“If we really intend to stay here, I think it would be better to rescue the people and then take a boat to leave the vicinity of Yao Gu City. As long as we can enter the Forget Worry Sea, the people from Yao Gu City will be helpless against us.”
Old Monster Zhang felt that Chen Yang’s plan to stay in the ancient battlefield was too dangerous.
The city lord of Yao Gu City was not a Foundation Building True Person, but a Harmonious Core Venerable, and not a novice at that.
Their strength was such that they could not possibly defeat him.
If they stayed in the ancient battlefield and waited for the other party to return, they might be found by the city lord of Yao Gu City.
Chen Yang frowned. This was another option!
“We’ll make plans after we rescue everyone!” kanshu伍.ξà
Although Chen Yang said this, he already had a plan in mind.
With so many people in the Underworld, Chen Yang didn’t believe in the saying that one would find a way when the cart reached the mountain.
Being fully prepared was Chen Yang’s style.
In order to shake off those following them, Chen Yang did not leave the ancient battlefield directly.
As for the two people ahead, Old Monster Zhang said that Cang Jian and Dao Zhi had to avoid the search of Yao Gu City’s Foundation Building True Persons, so they had taken a long detour. As long as their group was fast enough, they would definitely catch up!
Just as Chen Yang exited the ancient battlefield, without any pause, following the fragmented memories in his mind, Chen Yang directly entered another gravel mountain range, which was a shortcut only known to the elders of Yao Gu City.
Legend had it that this was a deserted spiritual vein, and the foundation of Yao Gu City was here.
However, after the spiritual vein was completely excavated, Yao Gu City moved away from here and built its city in a place closer to the Forget Worry Sea.
“There are several powerful Foundation Building ferocious beasts occupying this place. Because there are no resources, the Foundation Building True Persons of Yao Gu City never come here to explore. We are in a hurry, so as long as they don’t provoke us, we won’t make a move.”
Just as Chen Yang finished speaking, a loud roar reached everyone’s ears.
Chen Yang’s face darkened. He had chosen this place to take a shortcut, but now, as soon as they entered, they were detected by a ferocious beast.
Chen Yang used his spiritual power to scan behind him. After confirming there were no Foundation Building True Persons from the Underworld, he immediately said, “Resolve the battle as quickly as possible!”
As he spoke, a ferocious beast entered everyone’s sight.
This ferocious beast was different from the ferocious beasts on the ancient battlefield. Its massive body was covered with strangely shaped mineral stones.
Just as Chen Yang and the others were about to make a move, the big rat on Chen Yang’s shoulder suddenly jumped out and chattered towards the ferocious beast.
The ferocious beast, which had an extremely fierce expression, suddenly stopped its charge the moment it saw the big rat.
Chen Yang also received a telepathic message from the big rat: “Young Master, you all go first. I’ll hold this guy off.”
Chen Yang looked at the big rat and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
The big rat was currently only at the peak of Grandmaster, not yet at Foundation Building. This ferocious beast didn’t look like an ordinary Foundation Building realm cultivator; it was very likely close to the Great Perfection realm.
How could the big rat possibly block this fellow?
Seeing that both Chen Yang and the ferocious beast had suddenly stopped, Wu Min frowned and asked, “Are we fighting or not?”
Chen Yang quickly pondered. Although he didn’t know what was going on between the big rat and the ferocious beast, he still chose to trust the big rat.
“Let’s go first!”
