On this trip to the Heavenly Wolf Empire, Xiao Chen did not bring any experts from the Mountain Suppressing Army. Originally, Zhao Feng wanted to arrange for a few generals to protect Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen rejected him.
The most important thing for this operation was to keep it a secret. Before saving his mother, the identities of Xiao Chen and the others could not be exposed. Otherwise, not only would they be in danger, but Bai Ruyue's safety would also be hard to guarantee. Thus, Xiao Chen had to guarantee that he could trust the people around him completely. Only the cultivators of the Heavenly Chen Continent could do this.
Under Zhao Feng's lead, the group of thirteen quickly left Zhenshan City and entered the vast mountains to the right of Hulao Pass.
The reason Hulao Pass was so difficult to break through was because of the vast mountains on both sides. Countless Yao beasts lived in these mountains, so it was difficult for an army to cross them. Even if they succeeded, they would suffer heavy casualties.
It was precisely because an army could not cross them and could only enter the enemy's territory through Hulao Pass that this Hulao Pass could be said to be abnormally stable, even though it was constantly at war.
Of course, an army could not pass through, but a small group could enter the enemy's territory through the mountains. This was also the path Xiao Chen and the others would take to reach the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
After many years of war, both the Moonless Empire and the Heavenly Wolf Empire had found relatively safe paths in these vast mountains. As long as there were not too many people, they would not alarm the Yao beasts in the mountains, so they could pass through safely.
As Zhao Feng led the way, a Heavenly Chen Continent cultivator beside Xiao Chen asked in confusion, "General Zhao, since we know of such a path, why don't we just send soldiers to circle around the Heavenly Wolf Empire's army? Wouldn't we be able to break through the Heavenly Wolf Empire's army at Hulao Pass with a pincer attack?"
They had the method to enter the Heavenly Wolf Empire, so why didn't the army just circle around the Heavenly Wolf Empire's army? Asked the Heavenly Chen Continent cultivator. The fact that he could say something like that clearly proved that he did not know how to lead an army. However, Zhao Feng did not ridicule him. Instead, he explained patiently.
"This path can indeed allow us to enter the Heavenly Wolf Empire safely, but it can only allow a small number of people to pass through. If an army enters like us, no matter how well they hide, they'll definitely alarm the Yao beasts in the depths of the mountains. In this way, we'll have to fight a bloody battle with the Yao beasts before we even reach the Heavenly Wolf Empire. Even if we pass through the mountains and enter the Heavenly Wolf Empire's army, we won't have the strength to continue fighting.
"On the other hand, if we dispatch a small group into the Heavenwolf Empire like this, then they can only act as scouts, and it's impossible for them to launch an attack against the army of the Heavenwolf Empire. After all, even a Dao Emperor would definitely perish if he were to fall into the encirclement of an army of a million. The importance of a Dao Emperor to an empire is obvious."
Zhao Feng explained in a soft voice. Hearing this, the Heavenly Chen Continent cultivator who had asked the question before nodded his head, an awkward expression appearing on his face.
Xiao Chen did not pay attention to their conversation. He was silent all the way. He was thinking about a plan to rescue his mother.
However, he knew nothing about the situation in the Heavenly Wolf Empire. There was no way he could come up with a feasible plan. He could only wait until they reached the Heavenly Wolf Empire and plan the rescue according to the actual situation.
They traveled for three days. Because they were traveling through the mountain range filled with Demonic Beasts, their speed was not fast, let alone flying in the air. Even though they had traveled for three days, they still had not walked out of the mountain range.
With Zhao Feng leading the way, he was extremely familiar with the environment. Moreover, he was a super expert of the Dao Sovereign Realm, so his perception was extremely strong. Therefore, when the Yao beasts approached several times, they were able to hide in time and were not discovered by the Yao beasts.
The Yao beasts here were not to be underestimated. Unlike the Tianchen Continent, the Yao beasts of the Tianhe Continent were mortal enemies with humans. There was a very clear division between human territory and Yao beast territory. Once a human entered the territory of a Yao beast, he would be surrounded and killed by countless Yao beasts. On the other hand, if a Yao beast entered the territory of a Yao beast, it would be the same.
It took them a total of ten days to pass through the mountain range, and this was because they had traveled day and night without stopping. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer.
Finally, they passed through the mountains. If they continued forward, they would be in the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. Zhao Feng looked at Xiao Chen and said worriedly. "Young Master Xiao, do you really not need me to accompany you?"
Zhao Feng had originally planned to accompany Xiao Chen. However, after passing through the mountains, Xiao Chen asked him to return to Zhenshan City. Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Xiao Chen shook his head.
"General Zhao still needs to stay in Zhenshan City. There is no need to follow me. If His Highness comes back, please tell him that I will return safely. Tell him not to worry."
Due to the urgency of the matter, Xiao Chen did not have time to inform Chu Wuming. He could only ask Zhao Feng to pass on the message. Hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded helplessly. He then turned around and returned to Zhenshan City.
After watching Zhao Feng leave, Xiao Chen turned his head and looked ahead. Up ahead was the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. A flash of killing intent flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. "Let's go."
The group entered the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Empire safely. They had bypassed the guards of the Heavenly Wolf Empire at Hulao Pass and had truly entered the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
Xiao Chen did not know much about the Heavenly Wolf Empire. The most important thing now was to find a city and inquire about the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
Although Mu Feng had said that his mother was imprisoned in the Imperial Capital, Xiao Chen naturally could not go directly to the Imperial Capital. First of all, Xiao Chen did not know where the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Wolf Empire was. Moreover, he knew nothing about the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. If he wanted to save his mother, he naturally had to be fully prepared. After all, there was only one chance. If he failed the first time, it would be extremely difficult to save his mother. The Blood Wolf King would definitely be on guard.
Following a direction, Xiao Chen's group advanced towards the Heavenly Wolf Empire's residence. As one of the three great empires of the Danyang County, the Heavenly Wolf Empire's area was not smaller than the Moonless Empire. Therefore, after two days, Xiao Chen's group finally found a small city.
They did not dare to fly rashly. When they arrived at the small city, the group silently entered the city. They had been on the road for almost half a month and everyone was very nervous. Entering the city, they could rest for a few days. Secondly, they could inquire about the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. Most importantly, they wanted to know about the Blood Wolf King. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles.
