(The first explosion)
One side looked like a ferocious wolf, while the other side looked like a little white rabbit.
However, Chen Zong didn't make a move because he didn't know the other side. Even if he wanted to ask about the situation here, he wouldn't make a move recklessly.
You can't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, you can judge a person to be a bad person just by looking at his ferocious appearance. However, the truth might be the opposite. Maybe he was a kind-hearted person.
Sometimes, a person looked kind and kind, but no one knew how many bad things he had done in secret, even to the point of oozing pus.
Who was right and who was wrong couldn't be judged by the surface. There might be complicated reasons behind it.
Chen Zong had already passed the stage where he would draw his sword to help when he saw someone at a disadvantage. That kind of action was either a fledgling's subconscious sympathy for the weak, or a one-track mind.
Wait!
Chen Zong was waiting for the two sides to finish their battle before he prepared to ask.
However, Chen Zong's arrival was already known by the two sides. After all, the field was vast, and there was nothing to hide except for the waves of grass. Chen Zong was a living person, and he wouldn't disappear into thin air.
"Your Excellency, please help us get out of here. We'll reward you handsomely afterward," one of the besieged people said immediately when he saw Chen Zong.
"Your Excellency, this has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business," the one who had the upper hand said coldly, with a hint of threat in his words.
"Help yourselves. After it's over, I'll ask for some more information," Chen Zong said calmly, unmoved.
Chen Zong's response stunned the two sides. They were a little surprised.
After all, it was rare to hear such a response, let alone encounter one.
Moreover, the other side was too calm. He was either a person who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, or a person who was pretentious, or someone who had full confidence in his own strength.
If it was the former two, it wouldn't be a big deal even if they killed him. However, if it was the latter, they couldn't provoke him for no reason.
"No problem. After we take down these fellows, we'll tell you what we want to know. We'll definitely tell you what we can." The leader of the group laughed.
No matter what kind of situation Chen Zong was in, they didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. As for what happened here, so be it. It wasn't something that needed to be kept a secret.
"Sir, please lend us a hand. We will definitely tell you everything we know." The expression of the side that was at a disadvantage immediately changed, and they hurriedly shouted.
The reason for that was because if no one came to their aid, it was very likely that they would all be killed.
"Sir, if you're willing to help us and allow us to escape, I'm willing to give you a spot in the Sword Cleansing Pool as a reward." One of the five young men gritted his teeth and said. His expression was filled with pain.
Obviously, the quota for the Sword Cleansing Pool was extremely important to him.
"Sword-cleansing Pool!" Chen Zong repeated. He didn't know what it was, but it sounded like it was some kind of opportunity.
"Sir, the Sword-cleansing Pool is the secret place of the Xuanjian Family. It opens once every 100 years. It's a great opportunity for Sword Cultivators. Since you have a sword, you must be a Sword Cultivator. If you can enter the Sword-cleansing Pool, you'll definitely gain a lot." The young man said quickly.
Chen Zong was a little tempted.
He didn't take action because he didn't have a good reason. In other words, he didn't want to take action for no reason. However, once he had a reason, it would be different.
Right and wrong, good and evil, good and evil, were all relative.
Because nothing is absolute.
For Chen Zong, as long as he didn't do anything that directly offended the heavens and went against his conscience, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to improve himself.
Of course, Chen Zong was just tempted.
"Sir, we're from the Heaven Shadow Tower. We advise you not to look for trouble." The leader of the group who had the upper hand immediately threatened. Although Chen Zong didn't intend to take action, he had taken precautions and warned him in advance.
"Sir, the people of the Heaven Shadow Tower have always been cruel and merciless. If we're killed, these people won't show mercy to you." The middle-aged man who first asked Chen Zong for help said again.
"Is what they said true?" Chen Zong looked at the people of the Heaven Shadow Tower and asked neither too fast nor too slow.
"Of course not. We, the Heaven Shadow Tower, abide by the rules the most." The man immediately answered.
Chen Zong couldn't help but shake his head to himself. The Dao of the Heart allowed Chen Zong to have an even sharper perception of the expressions and words of others. Thus, he was able to determine if what the other party said was true or false.
Of course, if their cultivation realm was much higher than Chen Zong's, Chen Zong wouldn't be able to sense it.
But now, both sides were in the Third Realm, and the highest was only at the peak of the Third Realm. In terms of strength, they were only ordinary Nine-Star. Whether it was cultivation or realm, they were obviously inferior to Chen Zong. How could they lie in front of Chen Zong?
In an instant, Chen Zong made a certain judgment. The people of the Heaven Shadow Tower were lying. In other words, after they killed the five people, not only would they not provide any information to him, but they would even attack him.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Zong's mind, and he decided to take action.
Once he decided to take action, Chen Zong didn't hesitate at all. He took a step forward and instantly closed in. Wisps of Sword Qi also spread out.
"You're courting death!" The people of the Heaven Shadow Tower immediately shouted angrily. Immediately, one of them broke away from the siege and immediately attacked Chen Zong. His broadsword seemed to be able to split the mountain and the earth. The broadsword light was shocking, and his killing intent was overflowing. He showed no mercy at all.
Chen Zong's figure flashed, but he didn't draw his sword. It was as if he was going to meet the broadsword light head-on. In the next moment, he seemed to be split into two by the broadsword light. However, it was a shadow. Chen Zong had already swept past the person from the Heaven Shadow Tower who attacked with the broadsword. With his fingers like a sword, he gently swiped the person's neck. The Sword Qi entered the person's body and killed him directly.
"Kill him!" The face of the leader of the Heaven Shadow Tower changed drastically.
Immediately, another three people broke away from the siege and directly attacked Chen Zong. They attacked from three sides and still didn't show any mercy. They wanted to kill Chen Zong directly.
Chen Zong's expression didn't change, and his figure didn't stop at all. He drifted forward like a gust of wind and swept past them. The three people were in the middle of attacking, but they paused for a moment and then fell to the ground one after another. Blood flowed out from under their bodies and dyed the grass red.
Die!
They were just a few mid-level Divine Reflection Realm experts. Moreover, they were just ordinary mid-level Divine Reflection Realm experts. To the current Chen Zong, they were nothing.
In a split second, his sword was unsheathed. A flash of sword light could be seen. It seemed to cut through the void and directly attacked the remaining people from the Heaven Shadow Tower.
Die, die, die!
Bloody marks appeared on their necks and they fell to the ground directly.
"You … you … offended us … the Heaven Shadow Tower. You … you … are … dead …" The leader's eyes widened, filled with hatred and murderous intent. He struggled to speak. Then, he knelt forward and fell to the ground, dead.
The remaining people who were besieged by the Heaven Shadow Tower were dumbfounded. They were motionless as if they had turned into wooden puppets.
Too fast!
It was really too fast. From the moment the other party attacked to the end, it didn't even take three breaths.
Then, the battle was over.
Massacre!
It was a completely one-sided massacre. They didn't have the slightest bit of resistance. The moment they attacked, it was a killing blow.
What terrifying strength.
If the other party had any malicious intent towards them, then they would also die here without the slightest chance of survival.
"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency." The middle-aged man took a deep breath. He was still shocked, but he still took the initiative to speak. He bowed deeply to Chen Zong.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." The others also came to their senses and bowed to Chen Zong to express their gratitude.
"I helped you because of the quota for the Sword-cleansing Pool." Chen Zong said unhurriedly. Of course, he had to make things clear first to avoid confusion later.
"The Sword-cleansing Pool!" Hearing Chen Zong's words, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. A touch of pain and embarrassment flashed across the young man's eyes.
However, when he thought of how he had killed the people from the Heaven Shadow Tower like killing chickens, his heart couldn't help trembling.
"Okay, the Sword-cleansing Pool will open in a month. At that time, I will definitely give you a quota." The young man gritted his teeth and said in a dignified tone.
"Now, tell me, where is this place?" Chen Zong asked.
"Here? This is Tianzhang Plain," the young man answered quickly.
"I'm not asking about this place," Chen Zong said with a slight frown.
"Not here." The middle-aged man pondered for a while and said, "Your Excellency, this is Tianyi County of the Tianlin Country."
"Tianyi County of the Tianlin Country," Chen Zong repeated in a low voice and frowned slightly.
There were no countries in the Heaven Continent, so this was definitely not the Heaven Continent. Then which continent was it?
"What is the most powerful force here?" Chen Zong asked again.
There were nine continents in the Ninth Heaven Universe, and each continent had nine overlords. If he could know which was the most powerful force, he would know which continent he was on.
"It seems that Your Excellency is not from the Tianlin Country. The most powerful force in the Tianlin Country is the royal family," the middle-aged man replied.
Chen Zong suddenly had a bad feeling. Chen Zong could not help but ask about other things, such as the Seven Profound Sword Sect, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, and so on. In the end, he found out that this was not the Ninth Heaven Universe, but a place called the Mystical Light Universe. There was only one ruler in the Mystical Light Universe, and that was the Mystical Light Divine Dynasty. There were eight countries under the Mystical Light Divine Dynasty.
One Divine Dynasty and eight countries ruled the Mystical Light Universe together.
The Tianlin Country was one of the eight countries.
Chen Zong's expression did not change. He looked indifferent, but there was a storm in his heart.
He had actually left the Nine Heavens Universe and arrived in another universe.
Moreover, he did not know if the Mystical Light Universe and the Ninth Heaven Universe were neighbors.
After all, these people knew very little.
Chen Zong could not help but feel helpless.
Even if the Mystical Light Universe and the Ninth Heaven Universe were neighbors, it would not be easy for him to return to the Ninth Heaven Universe from the Mystical Light Universe.
Just in the Ninth Heaven Universe, it would take at least two years to travel between the neighboring continents. In a different universe, even if it was between neighboring universes, it would take more time.
"Can I make it back before the new disciples' test?" Chen Zong could not help but feel puzzled.
