"Do you think that the lives of over 10,000 of our brothers can be measured by other things?"
Another Captain spoke out with a cold and indifferent voice, and his body even emitted dense killing intent ….
"If something happens to me, aren't you afraid my father will look for trouble with your border army?"
Gu Xuan's face sank when he saw the 10 Captains remaining indifferent. Since the soft approach didn't work, he used the hard approach.
Instantly, all the Captains looked at each other, and in the end, they couldn't refrain from laughing.
"Young Master Gu, everyone knows that our General has already let you go, and you've left Relentless Thriving City …. Do you think that even if you died outside, this matter would implicate our General?"
"Others would only think that you encountered bandits on the way and were robbed of your wealth and life."
"So, Young Master Gu, you don't have to worry about our General."
...
The Captains mocked him all at once, causing Gu Xuan's face to become more and more unsightly.
He naturally knew that what these people said was true.
Now, he regretted it!
He shouldn't have left the border army's campsite.
Even if he was shameless, he should have stayed at the border army's campsite and waited for the Crimson Wyrm Army to return with him.
At the very least, he would be able to keep his life like this!
"No! Don't kill me! "
Gu Xuan's face went ghastly pale, and his eyes emitted deep terror.
But unfortunately, no matter how he begged for mercy, under the hands of the 10 extremely furious Captains, he was unable to escape death in the end ….
Even if he was a third level Origin Core Stage martial artist.
But before these 10 Captains of the border army that were like wolves and tigers, he was still unable to withstand a single blow.
Gu Xuan was killed as expected, and his corpse was buried in the wilderness.
Perhaps it would never be discovered by anyone.
"They're rather nimble."
Deep into the night, Relentless Thriving City, at an inconspicuous corner of the border army's campsite, Duan Lingtian lightly smiled.
Presently, there were two other people standing before Duan Lingtian.
Zhang Qian, Zhao Gang.
Duan Lingtian had just found out about the matter of Gu Xuan being killed from Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
Perhaps, even those 10 Captains of the border army never imagined that everything they did was seen by Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
"Hmph! That Gu Xuan's death isn't worth regretting. "
When Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang mentioned Gu Xuan, they were extremely angry.
They were all high-ranking officers in the army, and they were also furious at the fact that Gu Xuan had killed tens of thousands of border soldiers.
"Alright, it's all in the past … Just wait for the show in three days."
A confident expression appeared on Duan Ling Tian's face.
Three days later.
Shaoxing City once again dispatched troops towards the direction of the Southern Dynasty Kingdom to attack the Southern Barbarian City that was 15 kilometers away!
Infantry made up more than half of the border army, so the Crimson Wyrm Army and the border army combined to form an army of 100,000 still required an entire day's time to head to Southern Barbaric City.
Duan Ling Tian spurred his horse forward and walked at the front with Nie Fen and He Wei An.
They set out early in the morning, and as the sun set in the west, the 100,000 strong army arrived outside a mountain range.
"Hmm?"
The Hengduan Mountains in the distance attracted Duan Lingtian's attention.
The Hengduan Mountain Range seemed to have been forcefully split open by an Almighty with unparalleled strength.
"Brother Ling Tian, we'll arrive at Southern Barbaric City after crossing this Hengduan Mountain Range. We'll be resting on the other side of the Hengduan Mountain Range tonight. "
He Wei An reminded.
Duan Lingtian nodded, but his gaze never left the Hengduan Mountain Range …
"What? Brother Ling Tian is interested in this Hengduan Mountain Range?"
He Wei An asked with a smile.
"I feel that the ravine in the middle of this mountain range doesn't seem to be naturally formed."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled.
"Brother Ling Tian, there's a legend in our northwest border … According to the legend, a very very long time ago, two experts had once descended here and started a great battle that shook the heavens and the earth! In the end, one of the experts made a move and slashed this mountain range apart with a single strike of his saber! "
"Whereas the ravine in the middle of the Hengduan Mountain Range, which is this path, was precisely slashed open by that expert with a single strike of his saber."
He Wei An slowly spoke.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
This legend was most likely true.
Moreover, the strength of that expert wasn't weak!
"Who knows how many years have passed since that expert made a move … That expert has probably already transformed into a pile of dirt."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
In Cloud Continent, even if someone as strong as Emperor Wu had a long lifespan, there would still be an end to it.
After passing through the ravine in the middle of the mountain range, the army of 100,000 arrived at the other side of the Hengduan Mountain Range. Presently, the sky had already gradually darkened.
The army of 100,000 set up numerous tents on the spot.
Night descended.
"Duan Lingtian, sleep early. We still have to attack the Southern Barbaric City tomorrow morning."
Xiao Xun informed Duan Lingtian before returning to his tent and lying down to rest.
Xiao Yu followed in as well.
They were slightly anticipating the battle to attack the city tomorrow in their hearts …
Duan Lingtian, however, wasn't sleepy.
Their tent was close to the side of the Hengduan Mountain Range. Presently, Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto a nearby enormous rock.
There was a pool of liquid on the enormous rock.
The liquid was crimson in color, and this was a pure color.
"This …."
Duan Lingtian walked over, dipped a trace of the liquid, and brought it close to his nose to smell it. "It's wine!"
Instantly, Duan Lingtian noticed that when the smell of wine entered his nose, it actually caused the Origin Energy in his body to become turbulent ….
"This isn't an ordinary wine!"
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted, and he started searching for related records in the lifetime memories of Samsara Emperor Wu ….
Within Cloud Continent, there weren't many wines that had an effect on Origin Energy.
Especially a wine that appeared in a remote mountain forest like this.
In the end, Duan Lingtian locked onto one of the wines ….
Monkey Wine!
Monkey Wine was usually brewed from the ferocious beast, Stone Monkey, and was brewed by the Stone Monkey by gathering treasures of heaven and earth ….
When consumed by martial artists below the Void Prying Stage, it was greatly helpful to their cultivation!
Normally, this wine would only appear in places where Stone Monkeys appeared.
Even if it was Samsara Emperor Wu who'd experienced two lifetimes, he'd only encountered Stone Monkeys in five places and seized Monkey Wine.
Moreover, his cultivation was already at the Void Prying Stage at that time, and seizing the Monkey Wine from the Stone Monkeys was only for the sake of tasting the strength of the Monkey Wine.
"Looks like it's very likely that Stone Monkeys exist within this Hengduan Mountain Range."
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up as he silently flashed out and searched all along the way, and he noticed some scattered traces of Monkey Wine ….
According to his guess, there ought to be Stone Monkeys that came here to drink Monkey Wine.
Before long, Duan Lingtian arrived at the foot of a mountain at the side of the Hengduan Mountain Range.
Presently, Duan Lingtian was already extremely far away from the place where the army of 100,000 was garrisoned.
"Young Master!"
Two figures silently appeared by Duan Lingtian's side. They were slightly curious. What did the Young Master come here for in the middle of the night?
Could it be that he wants to enter the Hengduan Mountain Range?
"Zhang Qian, Zhao Gang, how much do the two of you know about this place?"
Duan Lingtian asked Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
Zhang Qian pondered for a moment, then said, "Young Master, according to what we know, there are groups of wild beasts within this Hengduan Mountain Range, and there are many fierce beasts as well …. It's even to the extent that there might be Nascent Soul Stage fierce beasts within!"
"As expected."
Duan Lingtian nodded and his eyes lit up.
Looks like his guess wasn't wrong. There were surely many Stone Monkeys within this Hengduan Mountain Range, and there might even be groups of monkeys.
"My luck isn't bad."
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a smile. The Monkey Wine was extremely beneficial to him now.
If he was able to obtain the Monkey Wine, he was confident that he would directly break through to the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage!
Even if he broke through to the Origin Core Stage, it wouldn't take too long!
"Zhang Qian, Zhao Gang, come with me."
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he moved as if transforming into an incomparably swift spirit serpent that directly flashed up the Hengduan Mountain Range.
Although Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang didn't know why Duan Lingtian would be interested in the Hengduan Mountain Range, they still followed him.
Their duty was to protect Duan Lingtian's safety.
After entering the Hengduan Mountain Range, they naturally encountered many wild beasts and fierce beasts.
All of them were easily killed by Duan Lingtian's group of three.
As they continued deeper, they couldn't see any wild beasts anymore. All that pounced at them were fierce beasts, and even with Duan Lingtian's current strength, he still felt pressured.
However, with Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang present, their forward speed didn't slow down.
Finally, within a spacious gorge, Duan Lingtian noticed traces of Stone Monkeys.
Stone Monkeys were different from ordinary apes. Their bodies were extremely small, yet their speed was like lightning.
The weakest adult Stone Monkey had a strength at the Origin Core Stage ….
Some of the stronger ones were even comparable to Nascent Soul Stage martial artists!
That year, Samsara Emperor Wu encountered several groups of Stone Monkeys, and there were two groups of Monkey Kings that had stepped into the Void Prying Stage and had already transformed into demon beasts.
"I shouldn't be so unlucky, right?"
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Presently, Duan Lingtian was hiding on a large tree outside the only exit of the gorge.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang followed by Duan Lingtian's side.
At this moment, the two of them noticed the location of the Stone Monkeys, and they had puzzled expressions. "Young Master, what kind of monkey is this? Why do I feel that its size is even smaller than ordinary monkeys? "
"Stone Monkey!"
Duan Lingtian said.
"What? Stone Monkey? "
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang's pupils constricted when they heard Duan Lingtian.
Although they'd never seen a Stone Monkey, they'd heard many rumors about it.
Stone Monkeys were a type of formidable fierce beast.
Most importantly, they knew how to brew a type of spirit wine called 'Monkey Wine'.
This type of spirit wine, when consumed by martial artists below the Void Prying Stage, was extremely beneficial to their cultivation. The lower the cultivation, the more beneficial it was.
For example, if a Core Formation Stage martial artist drank the Monkey Wine, it was very possible for them to directly break through one or two levels!
"I never expected that Stone Monkeys would actually exist in this Hengduan Mountain Range."
"Moreover, it's hidden so well."
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang's eyes shone as they thought about the Monkey Wine.
"Don't be careless. According to my current observation, there's a group of Stone Monkeys in this gorge …. There might even be a Monkey King among them!"
Duan Lingtian's expression was heavy, and he wasn't as optimistic as Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
"Monkey King?"
Obviously, Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang didn't know much about Stone Monkeys.
"A Monkey King might be a fierce beast, but it might also be a demon beast! Even if it's a fierce beast, it's absolutely an existence at the Half-step Void Stage. "
