Chapter 71: Awakening of the Eastern Wilderness

  Sun Yan died, according to the rules of the life-and-death arena, everything on Sun Yan's body belonged to Chu Cheng.

  This is not the time to examine it carefully, Chu Cheng put Sun Yan's entire corpse into the Snake Spirit Jade Box with one stroke, then walked down from the stage and came to Leng Cangfeng's side.

  That Leng Cangfeng, indeed worthy of being a lone wanderer for ten years, had extremely strong recovery abilities and an exceptionally robust soul. His mental strength far surpassed that of ordinary people. In just this short moment, he had already recovered, opening his eyes.

  "Chu Cheng, I didn't expect you to actually kill Shen Jian Chu Yi and Sun Yan. From now on, among the younger generation of Chu State, you will definitely have a place." Leng Cang Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood.

  "Don't talk too much, let's go find Dongfang Ye." Chu Cheng took out a second-grade healing pill and fed it to Leng Cangfeng.

  This is not a particularly precious elixir, but Leng Cangfeng looks quite miserable. In fact, most of them are external injuries, at most injuring internal organs, and the soul has not been injured, only need to slowly recover, will naturally heal.

  "Hmm, let's go find Dongfang Ye. Unfortunately, I didn't become the master of life and death, so I couldn't ask the yin spirits to heal Dongfang Ye." Leng Cangfeng's tone was heavy, seemingly with some shame.

  "Haha, two young heroes, both are outstanding talents of today. The Yinling Ancient Road has been the stage for countless life-and-death battles throughout the generations, but most of them are far inferior to you two! I'll be the judge, and both of you will be considered masters of life and death!" A burst of refreshing laughter echoed as the White Silver Shadow emerged.

  "How dare you?" Chu Cheng was startled in his heart, and immediately knew that this person was a powerful Yin Spirit General. Although the momentum was not obvious, it gave people a very dangerous feeling.

  Moreover, this person actually dared to boast that he and Leng Cangfeng were the masters of life and death, with a terrifying identity that was not ordinary, absolutely not an ordinary yin spirit general.

  "Haha, I am the Silver General of the Mortal Arena. This is not a place for conversation, please follow me, and I will take you to a place where you can meet my friends, as well as your own." The Silver General warmly invited them.

  "Our friend? Dongfang Ye?" Chu Cheng's eyes lit up.

  "That's right." Bai Yin nodded.

  Chu City helped up Leng Cangfeng, followed by Yin Yue and Ma Huangquan behind him, along with Bai Yinyin, arrived at the Yinling Pawnshop.

  In a VIP room of the pawnshop, Chucheng waited for half a stick of incense before a lively big guy and Huang Jin, the first yin general, walked in.

  "Wahaha, Chucheng? Lengcangfeng? How did you two get here?" Dongfangye jumped up and strode forward, giving each of them a bear hug.

  Chu Cheng was fine, but Leng Cangfeng's horse had its brow furrowed and a hint of pain on its face.

  "Leng Cangfeng, what's with that expression? Don't you like hugging your old man? Hmm, no way! You little scamp got hurt? How humiliating for you! Who beat you up? I'll help you take revenge!" Dongfang Ye shouted loudly as he let go of Leng Cangfeng.

  "Divine Arrow, Chu Yi!" Leng Cangfeng said coldly.

  "Divine Archer Chu Yi? Fine, I'll go take care of him! Isn't he just that Mountain Shadow City's whatever Mountain Shadow Son, daring to hurt my friend? I... wait a minute, Divine Archer Chu Yi? That ruthless guy? How did you offend him?" Dongfang Ye furiously said: "You little brat don't have eyes, how did you provoke him?"

  "Hmph! How is it? You don't dare to avenge me now?" Leng Cangfeng coldly sneered.

  "Damn it! What happened to Shen Jian Chu Yi? I'll go avenge you right now! If I don't smash him into pulp, my surname isn't Dongfang!" Leng Cang Feng jumped up and turned to leave.

  "Idiot! Big fool!" Ling Cangfeng coldly snorted.

  "I... Leng Cangfeng, you dare to scold me? I... I'll go avenge for you first, and then deal with you when I get back!" Dongfang Ye clenched his fist, wanting to teach Leng Cangfeng a lesson. However, seeing the blood all over Leng Cangfeng's body, he could only loosen his grip.

  "Alright, alright, stop making a scene and let the three generals have a good laugh." Chu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle at the bickering pair.

  "Hmmph!"

  Leng Cangfeng and Dongfang Ye hummed in unison, turning their heads around.

  At this time, in the noble hall, apart from Chu Cheng and a few others, there were also three generals: Huang Jin Yin Jiang, Bai Yin Jiang, and the one who had injured Dong Fang Ye before, Shou Hu Yin Jiang.

  Three Yin Generals, with the Golden General first, the Silver General second, and the Bronze General lowest in rank.

  "Chu City, the Eastern Wilderness is already safe and sound. I don't know if there's anything else you need our help with? Just say it, White Silver, you two still have two more wishes left." Huang Jin Yin said with a smile.

  "The three generals are too kind, thank you. But I don't understand why the three of you are so good to us? It's really terrifying." Chu Cheng and Leng Cangfeng exchanged a glance before speaking in unison.

  That golden general looked at the silver general, then looked at the guardian general, and didn't answer. Instead, he asked in return: "Chu Sheng... hmm, I'll still call you Chu Cheng. Do you know why this Spirit Realm's ancient path can develop to this day without being exterminated by humans?"

  "Why? It's because of that great Dark Emperor." A glint flashed in Chu Cheng's eyes.

  That Yīn Líng Emperor who established the ancient path of Yīn Líng was indeed a being at the level of Shén Tōng, capable of shaking the world with his power.

  However, Huang Jin shook his head.

  "The Dark Emperor is indeed powerful, but in the Chu State, there are more than a dozen or so strong practitioners of the Divine Path. Not to mention others, just the Ten Thousand Great Mountains alone have more than one strong practitioner of the Divine Path residing within. If we want to destroy the Dark Spirit Ancient Path, the Ten Thousand Great Mountains would be enough." said Huang Jin.

  "Oh, why is that?" Chu Cheng really didn't understand this time.

  "Because of this, the existence of the Yin Spirit Ancient Road actually has only one responsibility." The Golden Shadow sighed and said: "That is to guard!"

  "What's going on?" Chu Cheng was startled.

  Then he immediately thought of something and had an epiphany: "Jin Youwang and his 3,000 imperial guards!"

  As soon as this was said, a storm of shock and astonishment arose in Chu Cheng's heart. A secret that had been hidden for three thousand years slowly took shape in his mind. This secret made Chu Cheng suddenly feel that everything was actually like that, and he still knew too little, and thought it through insufficiently.

  "Did you guess? Yes, it was to guard King Jin of You and the three thousand imperial guards!" Huang Jinyu let out a sigh and revealed the secret.

  Jin Youwang and the three thousand imperial guards, such a powerful existence, even if cursed by the gods to become an undead spirit forever, sealed in the depths of the abyss, but who can be at ease?

  The Great Emperor of Gods and Ghosts is dead, and the Blood Ancestor Dao Xuan has vanished. If King Jin Youwang escapes, who can seal him again?

  And the three thousand year seal, is also a three thousand year protection, gave Jin Youwang and the three thousand imperial guards, three thousand years of cultivation time. Who knows how powerful these guys are now?

  Three thousand strong practitioners of the Divine Path realm, and even more, there is the Transcendent Divine Path realm's Jin Youwang. Under the heavens today, who can resist?

  There is no doubt that neither Chu nor the Qin Empire, nor any of the other eight kingdoms, would want to see this happen.

  Thus, there was the existence of the Dark Spirit Ancient Road.

  The establishment of the Yīn Líng Gǔ Dào not only gained the tacit consent of the Ten Kingdoms, but also received help from the Chu State. The most direct manifestation is that Shān Yīn City was built on top of the Yīn Líng Gǔ Dào, forming a two-layer defense with it, constantly monitoring its movements.

  So, the relationship between the Yin Spirit Ancient Road and the human world is actually not bad, and it's even quite good.

  Therefore, there is the divine archer Hou Yi, who comes to the ancient road of Yinling for training, and thus has the wonderful scene where the living and the spirits coexist in the ancient road of Yinling.

  As for why Chu Cheng was so good to those few people, it wasn't just because of these secrets, but also because behind the backs of those few people from Chu City, there were a few powerful figures.

  The Chu Heaven Song, The Eastern Elegant Scatter

  These two were both stunning figures twenty years ago, transcendent geniuses, each one surpassing the divine archer Hou Yi.

  Twenty years have passed, and Dongfang Siyiyu has already reached the peak of the Five Elements Realm. As for Chu Tiangong's true strength, although no one knows it, his superficial strength is also at the peak of the Five Elements Realm. How powerful is that?

  These existences are equivalent to the Mountain Shadow City's Chu Longyuan, capable of killing strong Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators. People like Huang Jinying naturally wish to form connections with them.

  Moreover, due to the existence of the Chu Tian Ge imprint on Chu Cheng's body, Huang Jin Ying even faintly sensed that Chu Tian Ge's true strength was far from what it seemed on the surface, so he revered him even more.

  "I see. Then thank you three seniors." Chu Cheng sighed: "Historical roots, great power games, are not something we can comprehend."

  "Indeed. The Ten Nations' situation is such that only those in the Mountain and Sea Realm have the qualifications to participate, and only those in the Divine Spirit Realm have the right to speak. The true decision-makers are still just a dozen or so great Divine Spirit experts." Huang Jin also let out a sigh.

  Not for mountains and seas, after all still ants.

  Became a mountain and sea, not for divine power, after all still stronger than big ants.

  "It's useless to be entangled in so many things, the only thing that matters is to walk your own path step by step. My heart is focused on the way, not moved by external things, this is the true practice. As for how far we can go in the future, time will give us the answer. Three seniors, I'm about to leave, but I still want to ask a few questions. As for making wishes, forget it. It's not something we're willing to get too much of."

  Chu Cheng stood up and bowed his hands towards Huang Jin Yin and others.

  "Oh? Then let's talk. We'll make sure to say everything that needs to be said." Huang Jin returned a slight bow.

  Chu Cheng and Leng Cangfeng exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly.

  "Senior, I want to know, where is Red-Haired Shanks' whereabouts!"

  In the northernmost part of the ancient road, in a quiet valley, people come and go from time to time. Each one wears a different mask, but no one knows what's under the mask - is it a prince or a commoner?

  At this time, three young men walked into the valley.

  Among them, the one who seemed to be the shortest and youngest looked around, taking in the scenery of the valley. Then he let out a sigh.

  "What's wrong with you, Chu Cheng? We're finally leaving this godforsaken place, it's a good thing! Why are you sighing like that, it's really depressing." A big and boisterous man shouted while supporting a pale-faced tall young man.

  "What a beautiful scene, without any signs of artificial workmanship. Who would have thought that this is actually a transmission array, connecting the yin and yang realms? It's truly a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship! Leng Cangfeng, what do you think?" Chu Cheng sighed again.

  "The person who set up this formation is certainly a master of the formation, and it's likely that without the cultivation and vision of the Mountain Sea Boundary, it would be impossible to achieve." The tall man said in a cold and gentle voice.

  "It's not that big of a deal, what's there to be sentimental about? But I, Dongfang Ye, also want to lament and scold, and finally have a fierce fight!" Dongfang Ye burst out laughing.

  "Do you have any feelings about it?" Chu Cheng Qi asked.
