Chapter 123

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Zhan Chen followed Yin Meiru's group westward, passing through countless mountains, rivers, and towns.

Right now, Zhan Chen had basically found his position in the group, which was to do odd jobs. This was because his cultivation was the lowest among the 49 people. Even the eight maidservants of Yin Meiru had cultivation above King Wu.

He felt that he was too weak, and he couldn't even lift his head when walking with these people. Even the mount he was riding on was a fifth-rank superior spiritual beast, the Blazing Flame Horse, which was much stronger than him.

He still remembered clearly that he couldn't catch up with the group at the beginning of the journey. It was Elder Qu who lent this spiritual beast to him so that he could catch up with everyone's progress.

However, the feeling of riding on the Blazing Flame Horse was really great. They could travel a distance of 500 kilometers in two hours. Zhan Chen estimated that with this speed, they would probably reach their destination in a few months.

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Yin Meiru's lazy voice suddenly came from the phoenix carriage, "Stop! Let's rest here for the night. "

Everyone stopped and kept their Blazing Flame Horses. Zhan Chen also pulled on the reins lightly, stopping the horse with great difficulty. Then, he carefully turned over and dismounted the horse. He was afraid that if the horse was startled, his life would be in danger.

Fortunately, these spiritual beasts were tamed by humans and were very docile. As long as they weren't agitated, they wouldn't cause harm to humans.

As usual, Zhan Liang brought the Blazing Flame Horse to Elder Qu and said, "Elder Qu, sorry to trouble you."

Elder Qu took a glance at him and took out a small golden bracelet from his Qiankun Bag.

Zhan Chen looked at the golden bracelet with a flash of envy. He now knew that this bracelet was called the Spiritual Beast Bracelet. There was a space inside that could be used to store the tamed spiritual beasts.

Elder Qu pointed the Spiritual Beast Bracelet at the Blazing Flame Horse and channeled a stream of Qi into it. The Blazing Flame Horse turned into a stream of light and entered the Spiritual Beast Bracelet.

Every time Zhan Chen saw this scene, he would look forward to having a Spiritual Beast Bracelet and his own spiritual beast. Not only would it increase his combat power, but it could also be used as a means of transportation. However, he knew that he couldn't do it with his current cultivation.

"What are you still standing here for? Go and gather some firewood and water for me. "Elder Qu ordered while Zhan Chen was still in a daze.

Only then did Zhan Chen react. His heart was filled with the indignation of a powerhouse. However, he suppressed his anger and answered, "Yes!"

This was because he had always kept in mind what Zhao He had taught him, "Hide the Edge."

"Old man, my cultivation is low now, and I have a heavy responsibility. I won't argue with you for now!" Zhan Chen thought to himself as he walked towards the river.

After a while, Zhan Chen came back with firewood and water. After that, he was responsible for starting the bonfires.

When night fell, everyone gathered around the bonfires to rest. They took out the meat of the demonic beasts to roast and took out wine to drink.

Yin Meiru loved this kind of atmosphere the most. He would even sing or dance excitedly, which added a lot of fun to the bonfire party.

After that, everyone would return to their tents to rest. Zhan Chen and the guards on duty would be responsible for keeping watch outside.

This was their daily routine. They were responsible for traveling during the day and camping at night.

They rarely passed by cities because of Yin Meiru's noble status. If they were to enter a city, they would inevitably cause a commotion, which would further slow down their journey.

In such a monotonous and repetitive day, Zhan Chen continued to cultivate. Gradually, he felt that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Martial Master Great Completion. He believed that if he was given a month to cultivate in seclusion, he would be able to enter the Martial Honored Realm easily!

One day, after climbing a tall mountain, Yin Meiru walked out of the carriage. He looked down with a complicated expression on his face.

Zhan Chen looked at the people around him. They were all very excited. A thought popped up in his mind, "Could it be that we have arrived?"

Sure enough, he heard someone cheering excitedly, "We're here! We're finally back in Moruo Country! "

Zhan Chen suddenly looked down and saw a fertile field at the foot of the mountain that stretched all the way to the horizon. He murmured, "Is this the Mora Kingdom?"

Yin Meiru, who was in front, said, "Let's go back to the sect and see father."

The group started moving again. Along the way, Zhan Chen was constantly shocked by the scenery he saw. The size of Moruo Country was beyond imagination. It was equivalent to ten times the size of the Later Yan Country! It even controlled more than 20 countries of the same size as the Later Yan Country.

The leader of the Marat Sect, Yin Xuehai, was very ambitious. He fought in the north and south, gradually unifying hundreds of demonic sects. Now, he was going to extend his evil claws to the east.

After walking for another ten days, Zhan Chen felt that the deeper they went into Moruo Country, the richer the spiritual energy in the air was.

When they arrived near Moruo City, the spiritual energy in the sky actually formed into clouds. From time to time, spiritual rain would fall. This kind of strange scene was something that Zhan Chen had never seen before.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel jealous. If he was born in this land, then his martial arts realm would definitely be higher!

The abundant spiritual rain nourished this fertile land. Therefore, the food produced here was rich in nutrients. Eating it often could make a martial artist stronger. Therefore, Moruo Country was a world where strong martial artists emerged in large numbers. Ordinary people could easily enter the martial arts realm by cultivating casually.

After Zhan Chen knew all this, he lamented the hardships of a martial artist in the Later Yan Country.

Moruo City — the destination of their trip, the gateway of the Moruo Sect. It was said that Yin Xuehai often came to this huge city to maintain his rule in the secular world.

Looking at Moruo City from afar, it looked like a huge beast lying on the plains. It was said that it could accommodate up to 50 million people! If the population in the surrounding areas of the city was included, it would definitely exceed 100 million!

When the group was a hundred miles away from the city, the deputy city lord of Moruo City, Ruan Yinshan, led a group of people to welcome them from afar.

When Yin Meiru saw that it was only Ruan Yinshan, she couldn't help but pout and ask, "Uncle Ruan, where's my father?"

Ruan Yinshan smiled at her apologetically, then said, "Meiru, I'm sorry. Your father is in seclusion again. He was very happy to hear that you were back, so he specially ordered me to come out and welcome you."

"Hmph, always in seclusion, always in seclusion. He puts all his thoughts into cultivation and has never taken care of me seriously!" Yin Meiru threw a small tantrum.

"Hehe, Meiru, your father is an indomitable and unparalleled demon lord. His current cultivation has already reached the subversion of mortals, and he is about to break through the mysteries of immortals who have entered the Dao. You also know that this is something he has always been brooding over."

"Is it because of mother?" Yin Meiru's expression darkened, and she also became silent.

"Let's not talk about this. Meiru, let's go. Let's see what Bo Bao has arranged in Moruo City. I guarantee that you will be happy!"

"What will it be?" Yin Meiru's face was filled with anticipation.

The two groups gathered together and walked towards the city gate. Not long after, they arrived at the foot of Moruo City. Looking at this huge city from close up, they were even more shocked by its majesty.

The tall city wall was actually a hundred meters tall, and it stretched to the left and right. There was no end in sight. The city wall was made of huge black stones made of a special material, and it was said that no powerhouse below the level of Emperor Wu would be able to destroy it in the slightest.

The main gate of the city gate was more than twenty meters tall, and more than ten meters wide. In front of the gate, there were already two rows of guards, ready to welcome the return of the Holy Maiden.

When they saw the phoenix carriage approaching, they all knelt down, and kept chanting, "Welcome back, Holy Maiden!"

But this was not enough. When they entered the city, Zhan Chen actually saw that the entire wide street was filled with people, and they had all voluntarily come forward to welcome the Holy Maiden.

When they saw the phoenix carriage, they all shouted, "It's the Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden Bodhisattva has returned!"

At this time, Yin Meiru also responded to their call. She opened the curtain, revealing her beautiful figure, and smiled sweetly at the people below.

"Wow — —" The crowd below couldn't help but let out gasps of surprise.

Immediately, many people knelt down on the ground, and worshipped Yin Meiru. This trend spread like an avalanche, and in the end, almost everyone knelt on the ground, and piously shouted, "Holy Maiden Bodhisattva, help the world and save the people, for thousands of years, and shine with glory forever! Holy Maiden Bodhisattva, help the world and save the people, for thousands of years, and shine with glory forever! "

The voices became more and more uniform, and finally converged into a sound wave that rippled out, spreading far away like a tsunami.

Zhan Chen was completely shocked by this scene. The people here seemed to have lost their minds. Would Yin Meiru help the world and save the people? He had never seen her before, but he had seen her kill a few people in the Malicious Spirit Sect.

At first, when Yin Meiru saw that so many people believed in her, she was very proud, and kept waving to the people below.

However, after a while, her passion began to fade, and the smile on her face and the movements of her hands also became a mechanical response.

In the end, she was so dispirited that she even yawned. She simply returned to her carriage, put down the curtain, and wanted some peace and quiet.

On the other hand, Zhan Chen was very concerned about the scene in Moruo City. After going to so many places and witnessing the countries controlled by the Demonic Sect, he had a deeper understanding than before.

Although the Demonic Sect was extremely cruel to the outside world, there was also a set of order in their internal governance. Although their legal system was arbitrary and their methods were cruel, at least they could still struggle to survive. And this kind of survival of the fittest competitive mechanism, on the contrary, gave birth to more powerful warriors.

At this time, he found that the convoy seemed to have arrived at the central square of the city. At a glance, he saw a statue that was more than 30 meters tall standing in the middle of the square. It was carved in the statue of an extremely handsome middle-aged man. His appearance could definitely make most young women fall for him, but his eyes seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and they were unusually cold.

From time to time, people came to the statue and knelt down to worship, their mouths chanting something in silence.

Zhan Chen had been in the convoy for a long time, and he could be considered to be familiar with Yin Meiru's personal attendant. He pointed to the statue and asked a person beside him, "Senior, who is the person carved in that statue?"

The person looked at the statue, and his eyes flashed with fanatical worship. He replied, "He is the god of our entire Moruo Country! Lord Heavenly Demon — Yin Xuehai. "

"How did Yin Meiru's father become a god?" Zhan Chen muttered in his heart, but he asked, "I just arrived, and I don't understand. May I ask what Lord Heavenly Demon is?"

The person patiently explained, "The so-called Heavenly Demon is the emissary sent by the Demon God to rule the world. The whole world was created by the Demon God. We worship Lord Heavenly Demon, which is equivalent to directly communicating with the Demon God, and we will receive the blessing of the Demon God. Even if our bodies are destroyed, our spirits will ascend to the Demonic Kingdom and live forever!"

When Zhan Chen heard this, he wanted to laugh, but he was hindered by the strength of the person in front of him, so he desperately held it in. He understood in his heart that the people here had been completely brainwashed by Yin Xuehai. They believed in these illusory things and helped to maintain the rule of this demon.

After leaving Moruo City, the convoy began to march straight toward the mountains behind the city. They were going to the real headquarters of Marat Sect.
