As the fight between Murong Qingcheng and Wei Renjie came to an end, the others didn't want to be left behind, and started fighting one after another, including Qi Shaofeng.
Qi Shaofeng's weapon was a pair of special weapons, the Waning Moon Curved Wheel. With a single strike, his opponent, who was a peak-level early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, was sent flying away. An arc-shaped slash mark was left on the ground between the two of them, which was half a zhang deep and tens of meters long.
Lin Yue couldn't help but say to Ye Chen, "Although Qi Shaofeng always looks like a nice guy, he's actually quite cruel."
Ye Chen nodded. Some people looked like sheep, but they were actually wolves. Once they were enraged, they could be even more terrifying than ordinary wolves.
Putting the Waning Moon Curved Wheel back into his sleeve, Qi Shaofeng glanced at the sky, then grinned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today's party is over. From now on, all the expenses will be on my tab, I believe I can still afford it."
"The Three River City's freshwater food is quite famous, I've been wanting to try it for a long time. Brother Qi, since you're so generous, I won't refuse."
"Hehe, if you want to eat freshwater food, of course you have to go to the deck."
Most of these people were young men who were full of vigor and vitality, and had already tasted the pleasure of fish and water. Going to the deck to eat freshwater food was just a convenience, what they really wanted was to enjoy the beautiful young women on the deck. But of course, with Murong Qingcheng and the other few young women here, they couldn't say it out loud.
Leaving the dilapidated yard, the group of people separated.
At night.
The Three River City was brightly lit, and was still as lively as before.
In the bedroom of one of the guest rooms, Ye Chen was sitting on the spacious bed with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He had been trying his best to cultivate his Zhen Qi, and the noise outside didn't affect him at all.
In today's gathering, the power of Murong Qingcheng, Qi Shaofeng, and Wei Renjie had given him a great pressure. Some of them had been practicing extremely powerful martial skills, and some of them had mastered powerful martial skills. Moreover, the sword intent, which had allowed him to defeat those who were at a higher level than him, wasn't the only thing that stood out. Wei Renjie had mastered the blade intent, which was as famous as the sword intent, and had also reached the initial level of the blade intent, just like him.
If he participated in the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions with his current power, needless to say, he would not be able to make it into the top forty, and might not even make it into the top fifty. After more than two years, who knew what kind of level those warriors who were lagging behind in the Hidden Dragon Rank would have reached. Maybe some of them had just started to rise when they participated in the last Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, and did not have the time to build up their power. Now that two years had passed, their power must have improved by leaps and bounds, and they might even make it into the top thirty, or even the top ten.
Feeling a dull pain in his meridians, Ye Chen cut off his connection with the spirit stone and slowly opened his eyes.
"It's good to have some pressure, but I have to take it one bite at a time. I can't just eat until I become fat. After all, power cannot be rushed. Right now, I need to cultivate the Great Mystery Art to the highest level first."
…
On top of a tall building, two human silhouettes were standing.
Under the moonlight, one could see that it was a man and a woman. The woman was wearing a purple dress, with a light veil covering her face. It was Murong Qingcheng, the second-ranked disciple of the Sky Flying Devil Martial School, and the man was Qi Shaofeng.
A gentle breeze blew across the light veil covering Murong Qingcheng's face. She said blandly, "Brother Qi, you didn't invite me all the way here just for a small party, did you?"
Qi Shaofeng grinned and responded, "Of course not."
"Oh! I, Murong Yuan, am all ears. "
Murong Qingcheng's face looked the same as ever. She abruptly reached out her hand and made a grabbing gesture. In the air nearby, a bat that was looking for food was twisted and shattered by an invisible force field.
Qi Shaofeng said, "Three months ago, I heard that someone had found a Sky Devil Serpent's scale in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range of the Grey Mystery Nation."
"A Sky Devil Serpent's scale? Is it true?"
A strange light flashed across Murong Qingcheng's eyes as she stared at Qi Shaofeng.
Qi Shaofeng's breath slightly quickened, then he awkwardly shifted his line of sight and said with a smile, "It should be true. I bought this Sky Devil Serpent's scale for a hundred thousand gold and five hundred low-ranked soul stones. I have it right now, you can check it out."
A dim light flashed across Qi Shaofeng's storage ring, then a human-head-sized black scale appeared in his hand. He took a deep breath, then handed the scale over to Murong Qingcheng.
Taking over the scale, Murong Qingcheng activated her Sky Devil Zhen Qi and injected it into the scale.
Buzz!
The air slightly rippled, and a layer of black light emerged on the scale's surface.
"It is indeed a Sky Devil Serpent's scale. Only a Sky Devil Serpent's scale can resonate with my Sky Devil Zhen Qi." At first, Murong Qingcheng's face was filled with joy, then she let out a bitter smile and said, "However, judging from the size of this scale, this Sky Devil Serpent should be in its growing stage, and its power should be no lower than level seven. Even if you and I join hands, we would not be able to withstand a single attack from it, not to mention getting the Sky Devil Flower."
The reason why Murong Qingcheng cared so much about the Sky Devil Serpent was not because she wanted to gain something from it, but because of the Sky Devil Flower that it was guarding. According to the legend, the Sky Devil Flower was formed from the blood of an ancient Devil King, and contained an extremely powerful demonic power. If she could get a leaf of the Sky Devil Flower, she would be able to reach the eighth or even the ninth level of the Sky Devil Great Art in a very short period of time. If she could get a whole Sky Devil Flower, she might even be able to reach the highest level of the Sky Devil Great Art. In the history of the Sky Devil Martial School, except for some powerful warriors who had died, no one had ever reached the highest level of the Sky Devil Great Art.
Qi Shaofeng grinned and said, "I invited you here, of course, I won't let you come here for nothing. Can you check if this scale is damaged?"
Hearing Qi Shaofeng, Murong Qingcheng lowered her head and looked at the edge of the scale. Sure enough, there was a crack on the edge of the scale. She had been too excited just now, so she didn't notice it.
"This Sky Devil Serpent is injured!"
Murong Qingcheng clearly knew that the Sky Devil Serpent had an extremely strong defensive power, and almost no other demonic beast at the same level could rival it. Therefore, it would not easily lose its scales. Also, unlike other snake-type demonic beasts, after a Sky Devil Serpent shed its skin, it would swallow the skin that it shed. Therefore, it was impossible for a Sky Devil Serpent to lose its scales.
"An injured Sky Devil Serpent in its growing stage is not something that we can deal with, unless it has suffered a very serious internal injury and can't recover within a short period of time."
Murong Qingcheng was very calm.
"That day, there was a thunderstorm in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, and it was not far from where the Sky Devil Serpent's scale fell. I think there must be some demonic beasts or warriors trying to kill the Sky Devil Serpent while it was going through the thunder trial. Right now, the Sky Devil Serpent might not be still alive, and your Sky Devil Zhen Qi can sense the Sky Devil Flower. As long as the distance is not too far, you should be able to find the Sky Devil Flower."
The reason why Qi Shaofeng was trying so hard to help Murong Qingcheng was not for anything else, but to win her heart. Ever since the last Hidden Dragon Rank competition, he had been fascinated by her beauty, and couldn't control his heart. He believed that there were a lot of people like him.
"I will remember this favor."
Although Murong Qingcheng vaguely knew what Qi Shaofeng was thinking, and she didn't want to accept his favor, she still didn't want to give up the Sky Devil Flower.
"When do you plan to leave? I am not as powerful as you, but I can help you." Qi Shaofeng said.
"In three days! I need to make some preparations. "
"Alright, see you in three days."
After Qi Shaofeng left, Murong Qingcheng turned around and looked down at the entire Three River City. She slightly sighed in her heart. Qi Shaofeng had left a good impression on her, but it was just a good impression, and nothing more. There would never be any emotional connection between the two of them, not to mention that she had been cultivating the Great Sky Devil Magic. Therefore, even if she met someone who admired her, she would never fall in love with him. But of course, once she did fall in love with him, it would be the kind of love that would never change until death.
The air slightly twisted, and Murong Qingcheng's figure disappeared.
…
The Three River City was very lively in the morning. All kinds of noises were mixed together and transmitted into the guest rooms of the restaurants.
After washing up, Ye Chen pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
The streets were crowded and bustling with activity.
"There are only three seats left for the passenger ship heading to the Grey Mystery Empire. Anyone who wants to take the seats, come to the No. 23 pier as soon as possible. Time waits for no man."
Ye Chen stopped and asked, "How fast is the passenger ship?"
"How can the passenger ship of our South Chamber of Commerce be slow? It can travel four thousand miles a day. We bought this ship from the Black Dragon Empire."
Ye Chen was surprised, but soon shook his head. There was a branch of the South Chamber of Commerce in the Three River City, so it was reasonable that there would be a lot of ships. However, the speed of the passenger ship couldn't be as fast as that of the Ocean Beast. If the passenger ship could travel four thousand miles a day, it would take fifty days to reach the Grey Mystery Empire, which was way too long.
"Forget it then."
Ye Chen didn't plan to take the passenger ship, so he decided to walk there by himself. With his current cultivation, he could easily travel over ten thousand miles a day.
After leaving the Three River City, Ye Chen flew along the edge of the Wild Goose Falling River.
As he moved further and further away from the river, fewer and fewer people could be seen around him. At last, he couldn't even see any signs of human habitation. All he could see was the boundless river and the endless mountains.
Boom!
After punching a flying demon beast away, Ye Chen didn't slow down at all, and disappeared into the mountains.
Walking along the Wild Goose Falling River wasn't a shortcut. Instead, he needed to cross the mountains in the Spirit Speaking Kingdom to reach the Grey Mystery Empire as soon as possible.
Time flew like water.
Half a month later, Ye Chen finally arrived at the Grey Mystery Empire.
Opening another map of the Grey Mystery Empire, Ye Chen touched it with his finger and murmured, "The Grey Mystery Empire has a lot of mountain ranges. This should be the Ancient Path Mountain Range, and the Three Horn Mountain Range is in front of me. After that, I'll have to cross a desert to reach the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. It's a pity that I don't have a detailed map of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. After all, the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range is too small to be marked on the map. I'll have to find them myself.
Alright, I'll go there first. "Putting away the map, Ye Chen looked at the sky and flew out.
The mountains in the Grey Mystery Empire were much more dangerous than the mountains in the Windy Nation. Therefore, Ye Chen didn't dare to run around recklessly and attract the attention of some powerful demon beasts.
Therefore, it would take him a long time.
However, no matter how careful he was, he wouldn't be able to take care of everything. During these three days, Ye Chen had run into seven rank 6 demon beasts and two top rank 6 demon beasts. He could still fight against the former, and if he couldn't defeat them, he would just run away. However, the latter almost injured him, and he had to spend a lot of effort to get rid of them. There was even one time when he clearly saw a rank 7 demon beast. Fortunately, it was already quite far away from him, and didn't notice him.
Looking at the boundless golden desert in front of him, Ye Chen let out a long breath and thought, 'Finally, I'm here. After this desert, I should be able to reach the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range.'
Ye Chen didn't start his journey immediately. Instead, he found a shady place and took a short rest. He had been too tense during the past few days, and he was still a bit tired.
The next morning, Ye Chen started his journey.
