C498 Huaiyin Town
On that mountain peak, there were many palaces standing tall and imposing. Even though they were far from being as imposing as the main peak of the Ruling Spirit Sect, they were still quite a bit of a qi image.
"It's the Ruling Spirit Sect Branch!" Wen Congann said: "Although the Ruling Spirit Sect Branch is no longer as it was a thousand years ago, there are still Profound Dark Stage experts overseeing it. After we pass through the Ruling Spirit Sect Branch, we won't be far from the ancient battlefield! "
"Junior has been here before?" Chen Yu asked.
"I've come here once to send my fellow seniors to the ancient battlefield for a test run!"
Chen Yu nodded, and looked at Ruling Spirit Sect Branch from afar, not saying anymore.
"Senior Brother, look over there!" Another three days passed. Wen Congann suddenly pointed forward.
Chen Yu looked over and saw that the distant sky was covered in dark clouds. They had a hint of sadness in them, and occasionally, there was a flash of seemingly cold lightning.
"Is that the ancient battlefield?"
"Yes!" Wen Congann said: "The ancient battlefield is enveloped in Yin Qi all year round, and it forms dark clouds in the sky. Dark thunder will form in the dark clouds, and it will be extremely powerful, so even the experts of Profound Dark Stage do not dare to fly into the dark clouds, or else, if they are careless, their souls will be destroyed by the Dark Thunder!"
Chen Yu was also amazed by the strangeness of this region.
As the Red Crown Eagle continued to fly forward, the dark cloud became bigger and bigger in Chen Yu's sight. Gradually, it became bigger and bigger …
Finally, two days later, the Red Crown Eagle arrived at the edge of the dark clouds. Wen Congann patted the Red Crown Eagle's back and controlled it to descend, landing outside a small town.
The town seemed to be bustling with life, and the noise from inside was very loud.
"This town is called Wai Yin Town, it has existed for a long time!" Wen Congann had been here once before, so he was much more familiar with this place than Chen Yu, and said: "Although the ancient battlefield is filled with dark energy, it is very dangerous, but because of the dense dark energy, the ancient battlefield produces Death Soul Grass, the Death Soul Grass is one of the important materials to refine the Spiritfount Pill and the Restoration Pill, and the sect has always opened their doors to purchase them, and the achievement ranking board has always issued the task of collecting the Death Soul Grass!"
"In other words, there are many inner court disciples here?" Chen Yu asked.
Wen Congann nodded his head and said, "The ancient battlefield is dangerous, but the surrounding areas are not too dangerous. Furthermore, every time Yin Qi breaks out, Death Soul Grass will appear in large numbers. According to what I know, many disciples will stay here for one or two years at a time! "
"Thank you for your guidance, Junior Apprentice Brother!" Chen Yu laughed.
Wen Congann revealed a bashful expression and said, "Senior apprentice brother, you're welcome!"
"Yes, then let's go into the town to take a look. Junior Brother, do you want to return to the mountain now or go to the town to rest?"
"Since we're here, let's try and see if we can gather some Death Soul Grass!" Wen Congann hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll let Marquis Guan Yun do it on his own first!"
Saying that, Wen Congann walked to the Red Crown Eagle's side, stroked the round red feather that was encircling the Red Crown Eagle's head, and hugged the Red Crown Eagle's head and whispered a few words. Finally, he patted the Red Crown Eagle's head and left.
The Red Crown Eagle let out a cry and stared at Wen Congann for a while before flapping its wings and flying into the distance.
"Senior Brother, let's go!" Wen Congann said.
Chen Yu activated his movement technique and headed towards the town.
However, when the two of them had traveled less than half a kilometer, they could see a few figures running towards them from the direction of the small town. The person in the lead was around forty years old, had a tall and slender figure, with a decisive and capable face.
When he arrived in front of Chen Yu and his brother, the man stopped abruptly. He looked at the direction the Red Crown Eagle had left in and retracted his gaze. He looked at Chen Yu and his brother and said: "Two junior brothers, is it just the two of you?"
"Hmm?" Chen Yu raised his eyebrows.
"I am Wang Daoquan of the Branch Sect. Are the two Junior Brothers from my sect?" "What's your name?" Seeing Chen Yu and Wen Congann were puzzled, the man cupped his hands and said.
A sub-school elder? Chen Yu thought for a while and came to a realization. He knew that Wang Daoquan must have seen the Red Crown Eagle land in the town and thought that a big shot had come from the sect so he came to welcome them.
The Red Crown Eagle was a fifth stage spirit bird, and was a lot stronger than the ordinary Flying Cloud Spiritual Crane. Its speed and appearance was also much more eye-catching, so Wang Daoquan mistook it for an elder-level character from his sect.
Understanding this point, Chen Yu only smiled and said: "Greetings Elder Wang. It's just the two of us, and this is our sect's direct disciple, Spiritual Master Qin from Thousand Feathers Peak. As for me, I come from Polar Extreme Peak!"
"Thousand Feathers Peak? Polar Extreme Peak? " Hearing Chen Yu's introduction, the warmth on Wang Daoquan's face disappeared. His gaze focused on Wen Congann's face as he asked, "How do I address you, Junior?"
Due to their familiarity with each other, Wen Congann could talk freely in front of Chen Yu. However, when faced with a stranger like Wang Daoquan, Wen Congann immediately turned reserved and said, "I … I am called Wen Congann!"
"So it's Junior Brother Wen!" Wang Daoquan smiled and said, "Please come with us, I will set up a banquet to welcome you!"
On the surface, Wang Daoquan was still a bit polite. But in reality, he had already determined that Chen Yu and Chen Yu did not have much value in being friends. He did not even ask for Chen Yu's name.
It was obvious that the name of the Polar Extreme Peak's decline was widely known in the Branch Sect. Because of this, in Wang Daoquan's eyes, Chen Yu was an existence that could not be mentioned. On the other hand, the identity of Wen Congann's Thousand Feathers Peak, Master Qin, as a direct disciple, still had a little value, but its value was limited.
The two of them did not have much status, so they came to the Ancient Battlefield to test out their strength. They were not strong inner disciples and were not worth Wang Daoquan's attention.
Chen Yu was too lazy to expose him, and he didn't have any displeasure. He walked side by side with Wen Congann, and followed Wang Daoquan and the others into the small town.
The town was unusually bustling with shops on both sides of the street. Not only were there crowds of people entering and exiting, there were also vendors everywhere on the street. A group of martial practitioners had gathered in front of each stall.
Wen Congann was also surprised and asked: "What, so many people?"
"Junior Brother Wen doesn't know. These few days are the days when the Yin Qi in the ancient battlefield will erupt!" Wang Daoquan still had some patience with Wen Congann, and explained, "Right now there are more than a hundred thousand warriors gathered in the town, and most of them come from a few nearby cities. After the yin aura bursts out, we will go to the outside of the ancient battlefield to collect Death Soul Grass. So, your two junior brothers came at the right time, and if you are lucky, you can gather quite a few Death Soul Grass, and the contribution points exchanged are also very substantial! "
"So that's how it is!" Wen Congann's eyes flashed with anticipation.
The group of people that Wang Daoquan brought with him led the way. They passed through two streets and arrived in front of a large mansion.
"Please, junior brothers!" Wang Daoquan said, "You guys should rest here for now. We'll go in after the ancient battlefield's yin aura has returned."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang!" Chen Yu casually expressed his thanks.
"Oh right, there are still a few disciples of our sect living here. You two can get closer to them!" Wang Daoquan said again at this moment.
Wen Congann frowned slightly when he heard that.
Chen Yu was slightly surprised, but soon after, he felt that this was a very normal thing. In truth, Wang Daoquan was just a branch sect's welcome and relationship disciple in Huaiyin Town, so it was not surprising that he had arranged for other Ruling Spirit Sect inner disciples.
He just didn't know if there would be any extra problems.
This mansion was huge, and the backyard was divided into many courtyards. A man and a woman walked in.
The man was around 35 to 26 years old. He was tall and slender, dressed in white, and had an arrogant expression on his face. The woman looked much younger, around 27 to 28 years old.
The strength of the two was probably at the fifth and sixth level of the Spirit Accumulation Stage.
"Junior Ceng, Junior Chu, are you going out?" Seeing the man and woman, Wang Daoquan showed a face of attention as he walked towards them.
"Since there's nothing to do, I plan to go out for a walk. Senior Brother Wang, hmm, this is my sect's junior brother coming to the ancient battlefield to gain experience?" The man responded to Wang Daoquan with a smile, then looked towards Wen Congann.
"Yes!" Wang Daoquan laughed, "Let me introduce him to you. This is Junior Brother Wen Congann of Thousand Feathers Peak, a direct disciple of Spiritual Master Qin of Thousand Feathers Peak. This, is Polar Extreme Peak."
Halfway through the introduction, Wang Daoquan suddenly remembered that he still didn't know Chen Yu's name. He looked at Chen Yu with an awkward expression.
Junior Ceng's eyes followed Wang Daoquan's gaze and landed on Chen Yu. His expression suddenly became serious as his pupils shrank. "Chen Wu Tie?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "That's me!"
Wang Daoquan was surprised to see his junior suddenly act in such a manner.
After a few changes in his expression, Junior Brother Zeng cupped his hands towards Chen Yu and said, "Luo Jia Mountain's disciple Zeng Qichang Chu Lianyun greets Junior Brother Chen. Junior Brother sure is impressive for winning the first place!"
"Brother Miao Zen!" Chen Yu had never heard of these two names before, but since Wang Daoquan treated him so courteously, he must have some background.
Hearing Zeng Qichang's words, Wang Daoquan was shocked.
"I didn't expect Junior Brother Chen to come to the ancient battlefield. Is Junior Brother Chen here for the Yin Demon in the hunting grounds?" Zeng Qichang said.
"I haven't had any specific goal in training!" Chen Yu laughed.
"Chen Junior Brother Chen actually took first place in the tournament?" Wang Daoquan finally reacted at this moment and said to Liu Shuang.
"I was just lucky!" Chen Yu looked at Wang Daoquan with a smile.
Wang Daoquan felt like his face was burning. Some of the news from our faction will be reported to the sub-school. However, Wang Daoquan is a sub-school elder and hasn't returned to the sub-school for more than half a year, so he doesn't know the specific details of this matter. Recently, he had been entertaining a few inner sect disciples that had come from the sect, but very few people talked about the Large Competition this time. As a result, he did not know that the person who had obtained first place in the Large Competition, Chen Yu, was from the Polar Extreme Peak Faction.
Speaking of which, Wang Daoquan was in disbelief. Seeing that Chen Yu's cultivation was only at the first or second level of Spirit Accumulation Stage, he felt that it was impossible for Chen Yu to become number one in the competition with such a cultivation. However, Zeng Qichang had some background, and he hadn't been in the sect for long, so he obviously wouldn't lie about something like this.
"Junior Brother Chen, please forgive me, but I have no idea who Junior Brother Chen is!" Sweat covered Wang Daoquan's forehead, and he bowed deeply.
Looking at Wang Daoquan, who was still very indifferent to him and was now very respectful to him, Chen Yu squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's normal for Senior Brother Wang to not know me, because Senior Brother Wang hasn't even asked me for my name!"
Wang Daoquan looked terrified as he said, "Yes, I am blind. I hope Junior Brother Chen can forgive me a little and I will apologize to the king!"
Zeng Qichang also had some understanding of Wang Daoquan. Seeing this situation, he knew that Wang Daoquan had once again committed a crime of snobbery, so he immediately smiled and said: "Senior Brother Wang, you have to change your bad habit of choosing a person based on their looks. Senior Brother Wang still hasn't arranged Junior Brother Chen's living quarters. Set a banquet to apologize!"
"Of course, of course!" Wang Daoquan quickly agreed. He called for some people to prepare a banquet and then said to Sun Tie, "Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Wen, Junior Zeng, Junior Chu, this way please. I, Rong Wang, would like to share with you the situation in the ancient battlefield!"
Chen Yu's eyes lit up and said, "Then I'll be troubling Senior Brother Wang!"
