"Ah!"
At this moment, the leader of the black-clothed men clutched his head, his eyes rolled back, and cold sweat poured down his face. He let out an inhuman howl as if on the verge of death.
"Chong-er, give up. He's about to die!"
The Evil Emperor's voice rang out in his ear. He loosened his foot, only to see the man in black writhing on the ground like a lobster, his body twitching and writhing in pain. Finally, his body straightened, and he breathed out one last breath before he lay motionless. Beneath him, the ground that he had rolled over was stained with bloodstains. It was a horrifying sight to behold.
All was quiet as Wang Chong, the Chief Of Wushang, and the Evil Emperor watched the tragic death of the leader of the black-clothed men. This was especially so for the Chief Of Wushang. He had long ago heard that the black-clothed men were extremely strict, but hearing and seeing were two different things altogether. It was clear that the leader of the black-clothed men had suffered an indescribable agony before his death.
"These scoundrels are truly unscrupulous!"
The Evil Emperor coldly said. He had never had a good impression of these men in black, and this was even more so now.
"Child, did you obtain any information from his mind?"
At this moment, the Wushang Village Chief walked over and calmly asked.
"Mm!"
Wang Chong nodded.
"It seems rather troublesome. These people are just pawns, and they have several formidable fellows behind them. In addition, just as Master discovered, their base is in the northwest. "
Wang Chong sternly said as he explained the other information he had obtained from the leader of the black-clothed men.
The Chief Of Wushang and the Evil Emperor fell silent at Wang Chong's words. Although they had failed, there was no doubt that Wang Chong had obtained a lot of useful information from them.
"It seems like this trip to the northwest will be troublesome."
The Demonic Emperor Old Man said, a gloomy look on his face.
"Let's talk about this later. The most important thing right now is to leave this place as soon as possible."
The Chief Of Wushang said.
The black-clothed men were unscrupulous in their actions. Wang Chong and the others searched and soon found the corpses of the shopkeeper and the waiter in the cellar of the tavern. In the entire Liuyao City, there were also a considerable number of people who had been tied up or killed by them.
Seeing this scene, the three of them secretly gnashed their teeth.
After releasing the prisoners and obtaining some supplies, the three of them quickly left the place after searching the black-clothed man's body.
Clop clop clop. Not long after Wang Chong and the others left, three cavalrymen wearing black robes with wide sleeves and bamboo hats on their heads appeared in Liuyao City and stopped in front of the collapsed restaurant.
"I'm too late. The battle has already ended."
One of the men said.
"Let's go take a look!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind. The voice was calm, neither loud nor soft, but it carried the majesty of a superior. It was obvious that it was the true leader of the three.
The three of them quickly dismounted and stopped in front of the collapsed restaurant where the battle was the most intense. There was no one in the restaurant, only a pile of broken bricks was left.
"The corpses are all destroyed. It's the smell of the Fire of Mara."
"It's the target's doing!"
The three of them looked around and finally stopped at the place where the leader of the black-clothed men had died.
"The mission has completely failed. The target is more troublesome than expected. It seems like we need to gather more people."
A strange man wearing a conical bamboo hat said.
"What a bunch of trash. In order to get credit from the higher-ups, they ignored my orders and attacked first. Their deaths are not to be regretted. Let's go, we can't let the target escape! My lord hates incompetent losers the most! They can't have gotten far! "
Whoosh!
The three of them swung their cloaks and immediately walked out. In a flash, they got on their horses. With a loud neigh, the three of them squeezed their horses' abdomens and galloped in the direction where Wang Chong and the others had disappeared.
Several hours later, the three of them stopped in front of a cliff. Looking at the bottomless cliff in front of them, the three of them were stunned.
"Bastard, we've been tricked!"
The three of them had ugly expressions on their faces. Judging from their speed, they should have caught up with Wang Chong and the others by now. However, that was not the case at all.
It was obvious that Wang Chong had tricked them before he left.
"Damn it! Pass down my order. Immediately find the target's position. I want to know their whereabouts as soon as possible! "
The leader said through gritted teeth.
"Yes!"
…
Time slowly passed, and in the following period, Wang Chong's group was able to live a peaceful life. They were not attacked by anyone else.
Whoosh!
As Wang Chong sat cross-legged on the ground, he gave a long sigh. When he opened his eyes, Wang Chong's gaze was clearly much clearer.
After several days of cultivation and the assistance of his master and the Village Chief, he had gotten rid of much of the impure Stellar Energy in his body. Wang Chong's condition was clearly much better, and the conflicting Stellar Energy in his body had stabilized. In particular, he had absorbed the Strength of Lu Wu in the last battle. That pure vitality had filled his body, greatly increasing Wang Chong's ability to resist the chaotic Stellar Energy in his body.
"Not bad! You have a very high comprehension ability and quickly grasped your master's method. In the future, remember to avoid fighting if possible. Your master and I will take care of everything. In addition, if you have no other choice, try not to absorb energy. If you can use techniques other than the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, try not to use this technique. Your master and I have calculated that in your current state, as long as you don't encounter a powerful opponent, you can fight for at most five minutes. Later on, if you forcefully use Stellar Energy, you will aggravate your injuries. If you injure your dantian, you might end up like your master, your dantian shattered!
"Not everyone can be as cautious as your Master. He didn't have any major problems for ten years, and he was able to survive after his cultivation dissipated. Wang Chong, you can't be careless! "
The Chief Of Wushang said.
"Many thanks, Village Chief. Wang Chong understands."
Wang Chong sternly said. In the last few days, Wang Chong had been spending time with his master and the Village Chief. Other than stabilizing his injuries, he had also listened to the two explain many problems on the martial path. Although his injuries had still not healed, Wang Chong felt like his understanding of the martial path had increased.
"We're almost there. This area for several hundred li is barren and devoid of people, but quite a few experts have gathered. Unless necessary, do your best not to expose yourself. After all, you're not in a good condition to fight."
The Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly said in an elderly voice.
The Demonic Emperor Old Man's expression turned grim. This was not his and the Wushang Village Chief's first time here. Many experts had gathered in this region, so even he and the Wushang Village Chief had to be extremely careful.
"Your disciple understands!"
Wang Chong deferentially said. As they were speaking, they heard a loud shout.
"Du Wucheng, you can't escape! — — "
"Hand over the Treasure Map!"
That voice was filled with viciousness and it rumbled like thunder toward the direction of Wang Chong and the others. Immediately after that, a powerful shockwave burst through the air. Even though they were several li away, they could still hear it clearly. What followed was the intense clanging of swords.
The carriage instantly fell silent. The three of them frowned, but no one said a word. He had known that this area would not be peaceful, but he had never imagined that he would encounter this sort of vendetta between martial artists at such a distance and before he even reached his destination. Weng, Wang Chong stretched out his finger and lifted the curtain to look outside.
In the distance, there were layers of green mountains. Just a few li away from Wang Chong and the others, he saw a few groups of people, one in front and one at the back, fighting in the air. The figures at the front moved their bodies and used all their strength to defend themselves, as if they wanted to cover the person in front of them to escape. But they were clearly no match for them.
"Ah!"
There was a shrill scream, and before Wang Chong and the others could get there … The people at the back were immediately overtaken and dropped to the ground. Meanwhile, an arrow as thick as a finger shot out from the depths of the green mountains, striking the martial artist called Du Wucheng.
That person did a somersault and immediately fell from midair with a thump, motionless.
This battle had ended much faster than anyone had expected. Even if Wang Chong had wanted to intervene, he wouldn't have had enough time.
"Forget it, let them do as they please!"
The Demonic Emperor Old Man seemed to know what Wang Chong was thinking and indifferently said:
"Although this place is remote, the situation is complicated, and there are countless martial artists from all walks of life. Over the years, there have been quite a few treasure maps, real and fake, but not a single person has found the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art. Still, there have been some results. In this place, the mere mention of 'treasure map' can bring about a fatal disaster, let alone anything else. There's nothing you can do about it. "
As the Evil Emperor, whose very name made all martial artists pale in fear, he was clearly used to this sort of vendetta, and he was unperturbed by it.
"Since I've run into it, I might as well take a look."
After a moment's hesitation, Wang Chong opened the carriage door and flew out. A few moments later, he arrived at the site of the battle. It was a protruding hill, its surroundings stained with blood. The battle was already over, leaving behind corpses strewn across the ground.
"It seems like I'm too late!"
Wang Chong glanced at the corpses and sighed. Judging from the clothes these people were wearing, they were probably from sects. Although Wang Chong held an extremely high position in the court, he didn't have a very deep relationship with these people. Personally witnessing a pursuit in the world of sects felt completely different from fighting on the battlefield.
"Ah!"
