The Great Wild God - Chapter 231

Chapter 231 Hui Beishan
A few months later, Chen Xun appeared in rags in the mountains at the northern foot of Tu Shanxi.

Tu Shan didn’t have much of a path. He trudged through mountains and rivers, passing through mountains and valleys. Chen Xun turned around and saw that Heavenly Flame was already behind him. He knew that he had already passed through Tu Shan, but he didn’t know where he was.

There was no trace of anyone in the Tu Shanxi Ridge, and even the Su Clan did not have a complete map of the Tu Mountain. Chen Xun stood at the peak of the Absolute Mountain Ridge, fearless of the fierce winds that blew over his face like thousands of blades, yet he did not know where he was.

Chen Xun’s waist was wrapped in a black tiger hide. It was blown by the wind and sunlight, and his skin was pitch black. The Cloud Star Armor also looked extremely worn out, and the spirit armor he had brought out from this trip had long since been destroyed in Tu Shan.

The veins on his muscular arms were exposed, and the lightning meteorite sword was tied behind him. It looked no different from the common wild martial heroes in the Wilderness.

The young fox’s beautiful tails were all broken, leaving only a small portion. Its gorgeous fiery red fur was even more shabby, more like a mangled wild fox in the mountains.

Its ugly appearance these past few days was like it was suffering from depression, and it ignored Chen Xun.

Crossing Tu Shan was far more difficult than Chen Xun had imagined.

Even though Transformed Heavenly Yao-level magical creatures didn’t dare to be exposed to the Heavenly Flames, so Chen Xun didn’t have to worry about the greatest threat from this trip. As for the demonic beasts roaming the mountains, every single one of them that cultivated Blood Pills wasn’t any weaker than an Embryo Returning Realm expert.

These demonic beasts were often grouped together in groups. If Chen Xun encountered them head-on, it would be extremely difficult to escape, let alone kill these demonic beasts. In the mountains and forests, fighting with three or five demonic beasts for a few days was a common occurrence. Often, in order to dodge tyrannical demonic beasts, Chen Xun had to make a big detour, and he had even lost himself in the mountains and forests twice, unable to figure out his direction even after walking for more than half a month.

In the depths of Mount Tu’s Absolute Mountain Ridge, the mountain peak was extremely tall, and it directly plunged into the sky’s flames and flowed into the clouds. It was a plateau terrain. Even the lowest valley was less than a thousand feet away from Heavenly Flame.

Through these areas, Chen Xun didn’t even use his Spiritual Energy, fearing that the Spiritual Energy fluctuations would trigger the Heavenly Flame Flow Fire, causing him to fall into an irreversible tragedy.

Fortunately, before Chen Xun officially crossed Mount Tu, he had specifically sneaked into the Earth Fire Molten Cave and used the Profound Yang Fire to further temper his body. In these areas, he could not use spiritual energy, nor could he use divine abilities. Even the Imperial Envoy’s magical artifacts were greatly restricted. Chen Xun could only rely on his extremely powerful physical body to deal with magical creatures and demonic beasts.

After such an arduous journey, Chen Xun finally understood why Tu Shan was praised as the Forbidden Domain of Cultivators and why the Azure Water Rift Valley was so important. Chen Xun didn’t dare to imagine how many times other cultivators would die if they took this path, except for those cultivators who took the path of the Fiendgod Body Refinement.

Back then, if he had followed Su Fanglong and the others through the Great Rift Valley, even if he had taken an extra six to seven thousand miles, he would only need three to four months to return to the Black Python. He was not in such a sorry state as he was now. It took him more than twice as long to walk out of the depths of the Absolute Mountain Ridge of Tu Mountain.

Chen Xun had learned a lot from all the hard work he had gone through.

Chen Xun originally planned to go to the Cold Pool Crypt and send the restored Star Metal Demon Body back to the Void Origin Secret Palace. Then, he would see how Jiang Bingyun had cultivated under the Cold Pool for the past few years. However, when he entered the Tu Shanxi Ridge, he discovered traces of desolate beasts being hunted by demons. Chen Xun was worried that demons would break into the Northern Mountain.

Beishan City was located between Python Fang Ridge and Tu Shanxi Ridge. If a large number of demonic beasts were to charge out of Tu Shan, Beishan City would be under tremendous pressure.

Chen Xun packed up his luggage and turned into two shadows with the Twin-tailed Firefox as they swept south along the western foot of Tu. Three days later, he saw the Black Rock Peak appear on the distant horizon.

Chen Xun’s expression was filled with excitement when he thought of being able to reunite with his old friend. Just as he was about to cross the vast wilderness north of Python Fang Ridge, he suddenly sensed that there was a rare spiritual light in the dense forest of Little Lonely Peak that had been exterminated by the Green Wolf Village more than ten years ago. It was actually a defensive formation located on the northern slope of Little Lonely Peak.

Chen Xun felt strange in his heart. Little Lonely Peak didn’t have any spirit veins or spirit acupoints. Even if the four-pillar Mountain River Formation was completely set up, the amount of spirit energy he had absorbed in ten days and a half months would only last for half an hour. At the same time, Little Lonely Peak did not have any terrain dangers. Even if the people of the Northern Mountain extended their territory to the Lake Wasteland to the north, there was no need to set up any defensive formations here.

Regardless of whether it was resisting magical creatures or demonic beasts, or resisting the Xi Clan and Profound Frost Sect in the north, setting up defensive formations on Little Lonely Peak seemed to be extremely slow and clumsy.

Chen Xun was puzzled as he used the Cloud Gathering Technique to summon a cloud of Qi, hiding the figures of the Firefox and him, and slowly floating towards the little lonely peak along the wind.

Floating nearby, Chen Xun discovered that there was a newly built stone village in the valley of Little Lonely Peak. The defensive formation covered a radius of about two to three kilometers. Occasionally, birds would break into the restriction and expose a ball of spiritual light, turning the birds into a ball of rotten meat.

The defensive array wasn’t much stronger than the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array, but the birds that accidentally intruded wouldn’t be able to consume much spiritual energy.

At this moment, several people rushed out of the room. The leader was a middle-aged cultivator with a purple-black complexion. He didn’t know if it was due to the sun and the wind or what kind of profound art he cultivated. He looked at the forest in the north with puzzlement and said to the people beside him, “What a powerful aura just now. Why can’t I sense it now?”

“Maybe it’s some kind of magical creature? The magical creatures from the West Ridge have become more and more powerful these past few months. I don’t know why the Sword Ancestor wanted to take down Northern Mountain City. Northern Mountain City is stuck between Tu Shan and Python Fang Ridge. In the past, it would have blocked the Su Clan’s path to the north. But in this situation, what’s the point of success?” The youth beside the middle-aged cultivator said in confusion.

“The Sword Ancestor is naturally scheming. We will act according to our orders. What are you talking about?” The middle-aged cultivator said sternly.

They didn’t realize that Chen Xun was only three to four hundred feet away from them in the clouds.

The defensive array could block the aura. Chen Xun could sense how powerful the auras of these two cultivators were outside the defensive array. However, looking at their pupils, one was at the early stage of embryo restoration and the other was at the middle stage of embryo restoration. In this wilderness, they were considered to be quite powerful. As for the two of them, they had a blood-colored sword embroidered on the left side of their robes. Chen Xun’s eyes narrowed as he looked at them. These two were disciples of the Blood Sword Sect.

According to their conversation, the Blood Sword Sect’s troops were so close to Python Fang Ridge that they wanted to seize Northern Mountain City.

More than a year ago, Chen Xun had heard from Su Fanglong in Mengshan that the Yishan Sect and Mystical Frost Sect supported the Blood Sword Sect to enter Guniu Ridge and expand their sphere of influence to the northwest foot of Python Fang Ridge.

However, Python Fang Ridge stretched for thousands of kilometers. North Mountain City was located at the northeast corner of Python Fang Ridge, and it was not far from the Blood Sword Sect’s sphere of influence. Who would have thought that in just a short year, the Blood Sword Saber would expand so quickly that it would directly seize North Mountain City?

Chen Xun sensed that there were many cultivators in the stronghold who weren’t weak. The most important reason why the defensive array was so strong was that they could connect the cultivators who were in charge of the array.

On the one hand, Chen Xun wasn’t familiar with the defensive array of the Blood Sword Saber, and on the other hand, he wasn’t confident that he could resist the multiple Reincarnation Cultivators connected by the array at the same time. He suppressed the urge to release the Demonic Fox Puppet and trample on the enemy stronghold together, hiding in the clouds with the Firefox, and slowly floated forward with the wind.

A hundred kilometers away, Chen Xun was in the north of Tianma Lake. He saw that the Tianma Lake was actually enveloped in a huge defensive formation, and Chen Xun gathered cloud energy to hide within it.

Tianma Lake itself was an open spiritual acupoint. The special terrain at the bottom of the lake was capable of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred kilometers. Chen Xun could sense that Tianma Lake was enveloped in faint spiritual energy when he was only at the True Yang Realm.

If the nine races of the Northern Mountain had the ability to set up a defensive formation that enveloped the Tianma Lake, they wouldn’t fear the Blood Sword Sect taking over the Northern Mountain City.

This defensive formation was not set up by the nine races of the Northern Mountains, so it could only be set up by the Blood Sword Sect.

At this moment, Chen Xun’s heart was twitching. The Blood Sword Sect had set up such a grand formation right next to Northern Mountain City. Everyone in Northern Mountain was truly unlucky!

Chen Xun hid in the clouds and floated closer. He saw that all the cultivators walking around Tianma Lake were indeed wearing magical robes with the Blood Sword Sect’s logo.

On the other hand, Beishan City, which was located three to five miles southeast of Tianma Lake, was already in a dilapidated state. Only a few ruined walls were still standing in the wind. There were ruined tiles and broken stones everywhere. Dozens of people were gathering corpses from collapsed houses. Their expressions were filled with indescribable grief and indignation, but even more so with fear.

The ones who collected the corpses were all mortals who hadn’t cultivated, and the Blood Sword Sect didn’t make things difficult for them.

Unexpectedly, when he left, the still prosperous Northern Mountain City was destroyed just like that. Chen Xun’s blood and vitality surged with hatred, and his anger surged out from the deepest part of his body like a bone scraping marrow. He wished he could immediately rush out of the clouds and chop the several groups of Blood Sword Sect disciples wandering around Tianma Lake into pieces.

The defensive array on the Tianma Lake was not comparable to the Meng Mountain Sect’s grand defensive array, but it was definitely not something Chen Xun could break through at this moment. Killing a few disciples of the Blood Sword Sect wandering outside the defensive array would not solve any problems.

Chen Xun knew that he couldn’t be so impulsive. The Blood Sword Sect already had an absolute advantage. If he didn’t make a move, it would be fine. The moment he made a move, he would definitely hit the sore spot of the Blood Sword Sect. Only then would he be able to give the nine races of the Northern Mountains a chance to win, instead of exposing his strength so quickly.

Chen Xunqiang suppressed the anger and hatred in his heart as he gathered the cloud energy and slowly floated towards Black Rock Peak.

In the past few years, the nine races of the Northern Mountain had built a stone village on Black Rock Peak. It was thirty kilometers away from the Blood Sword Sect’s formation in Tianma Lake and had not been affected by the collapse of the Northern Mountain City. At this moment, it was still relatively intact. The spirit light in the stone stronghold flashed and a small defensive formation was set up, so it was able to defend against the pressure of the Blood Sword Sect.

At the foot of Blackrock Peak, a group of people were slowly approaching the mouth of Wild Horse Stream Valley from the west bank. Two people on both sides of the group raised their blood-colored banners and wrote in two lines of black letters, “Ten days will not come down, and not a single piece of armor will remain!”

The Blood Sword Sect didn’t have any experts. Seeing that the two blood flags had actually sent spies to the nine races of the Northern Mountains, Chen Xun suppressed the anger in his heart and used the Thunder Meteorite Sword to slash down horizontally with a sword beam.

The sword light rolled wildly, and the stone flew in the air. The waves that brought Wild Horse Stream surged into the sky, immediately shattering the bones of a dozen men and horses, causing their flesh and blood to fly everywhere.

Several Blood Sword Sect disciples escaped in a sorry state. A Blood Sword Sect disciple at the peak of the True Yang Realm turned around and scolded, “If the two sects are fighting, don’t kill them!”

“I won’t kill your mother!” Chen Xun’s shadow split into clouds as he approached within a hundred feet of the man. Another sword beam slashed towards him. Before he could say a word, it split him into two, his eyes wide open, and he shouted loudly, “Chen Xun is here. Let’s see how the Blood Sword Sect calls the Northern Mountain Armor Extinct!”
