Zhiluo Sword Sect
"I say, Wen Suyun, didn't you say that it would take two days? Today seems to be the fourth day, right? "
In the wee hours of the morning, Tang Jin jumped down from the tree. He stretched his back and said to Wen Suyun, who had also just woken up.
After saving Wen Suyun that day, Tang Jin's group of two became three. Since Tang Jin and Wen Suyun did not know the way, they could only ask Wen Suyun, a "local", where the nearest city was. Wen Suyun said that if they walked northeast for about two days, they would reach a city, Zi Qi City. However, it had already been four days since Tang Jin and the other two had started their journey, and there was still no sign of the city …
"I, I remember this is the path. I've only gone out with my father and brother twice since I was a child. I only vaguely remember that it was this road. It kept going towards the northeast … Maybe it was because we were in a carriage at that time. That's why we were faster than us? "Wen Suyun looked at Tang Jin with some fear. She said hesitantly.
Although they had been together for three days, Wen Suyun was still a little afraid of Tang Jin. The aura that Tang Jin had cultivated from being in a high position for a long time, as well as the murderous aura that he unconsciously exuded after killing countless people, had condensed into an aura. This aura could not be sensed by Xiao Yu and other people close to Tang Jin, but outsiders could clearly sense it. This was especially true for ordinary people like Wen Suyun who did not have much experience. She felt a sort of fear that came from the bottom of her heart. It was as if her soul was trembling.
"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing that Wen Suyun was a little scared, Xiao Yu, the kind person, came out to smooth things over. "Then let's walk again. Just treat it as a stroll, right, big brother? Didn't we come here this time to relax? "
Tang Jin nodded. In fact, he was not in a hurry to enjoy the city. Tang Jin had enjoyed everything before. In comparison, Tang Jin preferred the smell of nature. Tang Jin was in a hurry to go to the city to collect information about the Huan Chen Secret Realm. For example, how to divide the forces? Who was the greatest power in the Vast Star Secret Realm? Just how big was the Huan Chen Secret Realm? …
It could be said that Tang Jin knew nothing about the Vast Star Secret Realm. For someone like Tang Jin, who was used to having everything in his hands and not making any mistakes, this situation was not something he was used to.
Of course, Tang Jin had also tried to ask Wen Suyun, who thought that the mayor, who was only at the Qi Refinement stage, was the most powerful "local" in Huanchen.
Tang Jin took out a few dishes from his Storage Ring that he had prepared beforehand. After the three of them finished eating, they continued to head northeast.
Tang Jin had a Storage Ring, Xiao Yu had a Space Bag, and Wen Suyun's home had been destroyed, so she had nothing left. The three of them walked lightly as they enjoyed the scenery. It was quite comfortable.
However, not long after Tang Jin and his companion walked, a group of people suddenly jumped out from both sides of the road. There were about ten people in this group. They were all dressed in leather and wielded swords and sabers. They stood in front of Tang Jin and the other two with fierce expressions.
"Robbery?" Tang Jin and Xiao Yu's Divine Sense had already discovered these people lying in ambush in front of them. They detected that the highest cultivation of these people was only at the Nascent Soul stage, so they didn't care. Now that they had jumped out, Tang Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and say in surprise, "No way? How could I encounter such an old-fashioned thing!? Shouting slogans? Why are you so unprofessional? You should be shouting 'This road is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to pass through, leave the money to buy the road'! "
Seeing Tang Jin standing there anxiously, everyone looked at each other. It seemed that he was a bit more professional than them.
"Big brother, is this a fool?" Behind the leader, a lackey stepped forward and pointed at Tang Jin, wondering.
Looking at Tang Jin in confusion, the leader said coldly, "It doesn't matter if he is a fool or not! Judging from his dressing, he was a rich young master! After we do this, we can go to Zi Qi City and have fun for a while! Brothers, don't be polite with him, let's go together! "
After that, To Take The Lead and rush forward. After hearing the leader's words, the lackeys behind him also became a lot more excited. They also shouted and followed the leader to rush toward Tang Jin.
Tang Jin didn't know that his words were what the bandits said when they robbed the caravan. First, it was to let the caravan flow in the long run, so that the caravan wouldn't be empty in the future. Second, it was to prevent both sides from suffering losses. In the eyes of these bandits, Tang Jin and the others were three lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Why would they talk nonsense with Tang Jin? They would just kill them, take their things, and leave.
"Big brother, don't move! Let me do it! " Seeing the other party rushing over, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be a little excited. After summoning the Blood Coagulation Claws, her figure flashed and rushed toward the other party!
Since Xiao Yu was born, except for helping Tang Jin sneak attack Ran Quan when Tang Jin just went out, she really hadn't fought with anyone. Demonic Beasts were naturally warlike. Now that they were going to fight, Xiao Yu was of course excited.
Seeing Xiao Yu rush out, Tang Jin, who was standing behind, was also happy because they saw bandits! What did it mean to see bandits? It meant that the city was not far from here!
On the bandits' side, except for the two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the front, the lackeys behind were all Gold Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. They were not Xiao Yu's opponents at all.
Not to mention the difference in cultivation level between the two, Demonic Beasts were born to surpass cultivators of the same level. Xiao Yu was a Divine Beast, who was many times more powerful than Demonic Beasts. How could these bandits, who had inferior equipment and cultivation techniques, be compared to her?
Just as the two sides clashed, the bandits were beaten by Xiao Yu's claws without the slightest ability to fight back. In an instant, more than half of the bandits' lackeys were killed or injured.
"Damn it! How can there be such a powerful person in such a remote place? Brothers, this is troublesome, quickly retreat! " Seeing that Xiao Yu's fighting strength was so strong, and Tang Jin was following behind her with a calm expression, the leader of the bandits couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb. He hurriedly called for his brothers who were still persevering to leave quickly.
"You think you can leave?" Xiao Yu sneered. The attack of her claws became faster and stronger, beating the bandits to the point that they were barely able to keep their lives. How could they escape?
Standing at the side, he happily watched Xiao Yu play with the bandits. When Xiao Yu had played enough and was about to kill them, Tang Jin suddenly thought of something and shouted to Xiao Yu, "Leave the leader for me, I still have a use for him!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yu agreed. The claws in her hands turned into two whirlwinds, killing the bandits in a few moves, leaving only the leader. Even the other Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was not a match for Xiao Yu.
Grabbing the bandit leader's neck, Xiao Yu casually threw him to Tang Jin's feet and said, "Big Brother, I'll leave him for you."
After being thrown to Tang Jin's feet, the man was still not obedient. He bounced on the ground and jumped up again. His body rushed towards Tang Jin and his hands turned into claws, grabbing towards Tang Jin's neck.
As a bandit, being caught by others generally didn't have a good ending. Therefore, at this time, the bandit leader's only hope was on Tang Jin. He hoped that Tang Jin was an ignorant and incompetent playboy and could become his hostage to threaten Xiao Yu to let him go.
At this time, the bandit leader didn't have time to think too much. This had nothing to do with courage or intelligence. People usually called this behavior a deathbed struggle.
Seeing that the bandit leader still wanted to attack him, Tang Jin smiled and stretched out his hand. It was as if the bandit leader had deliberately stretched his hand into Tang Jin's hand and was tightly grabbed by Tang Jin.
After grabbing the bandit leader's hand, Tang Jin shook his arm and exerted a force. The bandit leader's arm trembled violently and spread from his arm to his whole body. Finally, when the bandit leader fell to the ground, his whole body was limp and turned into a pile of mud. All the bones in his body had been removed!
Squatting next to the bandit leader who was already disheartened, Tang Jin slowly said, "I'm going to ask you a few questions now. They're all irrelevant common sense questions. If you answer correctly, I'll let you go. If you don't answer correctly? Hehe, I'll kill you. It's that simple. How about it? I never lie, I swear! "
"Really?" Hearing this, the bandit leader's eyes lit up with hope. He stared at Tang Jin and moved his chin, the only part of his body that wasn't removed, and said, "Are you serious? As long as I cooperate with you, you'll let me go? You swear? "
"Well, I swear, I swear to God!" Tang Jin raised his hand and said solemnly.
"Okay, ask away." Taking a deep breath, the bandit leader said with resignation.
Later, Tang Jin began to ask about the Huan Chen Secret Realm. He asked about some common sense and some secrets, and the bandit leader answered all of them.
The bandit leader was also very puzzled. Why did Tang Jin ask these common sense questions?
Some questions were indeed hidden among the civilians, but there was no reason for someone who had reached Tang Jin's level to not know.
Although he was very puzzled, the bandit leader still answered carefully one by one. He didn't dare to have a trace of negligence. This was his only hope for survival, the straw of life.
Asking the bandit leader about the Huan Chen Secret Realm was something that Tang Jin suddenly thought of.
The bandit leader was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and he was also the leader of a bandit group. Although he was a bit unconventional, there were some things that he definitely knew more than the civilians, so the information he got was clearer and truer.
After asking for nearly half an hour, Tang Jin also had some preliminary understanding of the Huan Chen Secret Realm.
The indigenous people of the Huan Chen Secret Realm called it the Huan Chen Realm. The Huan Chen Realm didn't represent all the places in the Huan Chen Secret Realm. It only referred to the area where humans lived in the Huan Chen Secret Realm. As for the other areas, they were either dangerous or had peerless fierce beasts guarding them, and humans were not allowed to set foot in them.
Therefore, although it was said that the Huan Chen Secret Realm was infinitely vast, the place where humans lived was only as big as the Huan Chen Realm.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are struggles, and where there are struggles, there are classes. The Huan Chen Realm was controlled by the three major sects.
From the west to the northwest, which was the place where Tang Jin and the others were now, it was controlled by the Luo Sword Sect; the east and northeast were controlled by the Qingxiao Sect; and from the southwest to the southeast, it was managed by the Desolate Hall, which was the largest force in the Huan Chen Realm.
The Huan Chen Realm was divided neatly by these three sects like a pie. As for some smaller forces, they could only drink some soup and lick the remaining oil.
Tang Jin also specifically asked which force the Dark You clothing belonged to, and was told by the bandit leader that it belonged to the Dark You Pavilion force.
The Dark You Pavilion force was also a big force, second only to the three major forces. It also had a lot of weight in the Huan Chen Realm, but the people in its organization had always been secretive and their methods were vicious, so they were not recognized by the people of the Huan Chen Realm.
Nodding his head, Tang Jin already had a little understanding of the Huan Chen Realm in his heart. "Well, your answer is very good!"
"Then can you let me go now?" The bandit leader suddenly felt uneasy, but he still braced himself and asked.
