Chapter 72: Came with five people, left with five people

  "Damn it! I'm so fed up. We came with five people, but now there are only three of us left! That bastard Jiǔ Gōngzǐ and Huáng Tiān Cáng are really unreliable, not good friends at all, no loyalty! If I see them again, I'll definitely beat the crap out of them!" Dōng Fāng Yě said angrily.

  Chu Cheng shook his head and sighed with a bitter smile.

  This guy really has no brains.

  What's your relationship with Jiugongzi and Huang Tiantang? It seems like there isn't any, right? Why would they stay behind and take risks for you? Leaving on the spot is what normal people would do, isn't it?

  Just as he was about to say something, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly echoed through the valley, and two people walked shoulder to shoulder into the mountain valley.

  One is robust and powerful with a rough face; another is refined and elegant with an impressive appearance.

  "Chu Sheng, you came with five people and can leave with five people too!" The robust and powerful man laughed loudly, exuding an air of unbridled magnanimity from head to toe.

  Beside him, that refined and courteous fellow gave a faint smile.

  "Yin Wu? You Quan? Is that you? Are you also leaving this place? Can't be here just to see us off, can it? What an honor!" Chu Cheng was overjoyed.

  These two people were actually Yin Wu and You Quan.

  "It's both a farewell and a departure. Yes, we should leave too. After all, this is just a small place, the outside world is the real big world, so colorful and vibrant!" Yuquan's face was filled with longing, seemingly full of curiosity and anticipation for the outside world.

  "Hey, hey, hey, Chucheng, who are they? I don't recognize them!" Dongfang Ye shouted loudly.

  Chu Cheng smiled and began to introduce himself.

  "So it's Yin Wu and You Quan brothers, huh? You guys even saved Chu City? Good brothers! However, You Quan, you're too skinny, aren't you? Not pleasant to look at, and can't withstand a beating. Yin Wu brother is much better looking, just like me, sturdy and robust! Yin Wu brother, let's chat!" Dong Fang Ye looked at You Quan with disdain, then started bragging with Yin Wu.

  Looking at this pair of robust men, Chucheng and Youquan exchanged a glance and burst out laughing together.

  After laughing, Youquan asked: "Chu Sheng... no, Chu Cheng brothers, are you leaving just like that? As far as I know, it seems that you still have an enemy who hasn't been dealt with? I've investigated and found out that it was that person who hired the Shadow Spirit assassins to attack you!"

  As soon as this was mentioned, Chu Cheng's expression also turned solemn: "According to our information, the red-haired devil Red William has already left the Dark Spirit Ancient Road. However, I think he must be hiding outside, and perhaps as soon as we appear, he will take action against us."

  "Red William? How strong is he?" asked Yuquan.

  Hong Weilian, this person, I have never heard of him.

  "It's hard to say. But the lowest estimate is also above Sun Yan. He is an old-fashioned Qi Bao Jing cultivator, and it's unknown how many years he has been stuck in the second layer of Qi Bao Jing. His cultivation is absolutely terrifying." Chu Cheng furrowed his brow.

  "So, what do you plan to do?" Youquan asked again.

  "What's the plan? No plan. We can't wait any longer, we have to hurry to the capital and attend the Young Heroes Conference. Even if Red William is lying in ambush outside, we'll just have to force our way through." Chu Cheng sighed.

  If possible, he would choose to cultivate in the Yin Spirit Ancient Road and at least let Leng Cangfeng recover from his injuries.

  However, there is no good medicine for healing wounds on the Yinling Ancient Road. Even if there was, it wouldn't be suitable for living spirits. Therefore, Leng Cangfeng would have to rest and recover for at least ten days to half a month before he could fully recover.

  The time for the Young Heroes' Conference is almost up. If we linger here for another ten days or so, it will be too late.

  "Chu City brothers are going to deal with Red William, what about us brothers?" Youquan suddenly said.

  "This, how can it be?" Chu Cheng was shocked and lost his color.

  Hong Weilian is not someone to be trifled with. This time, if we clash with him and are careless for a moment, it's possible that we'll lose our lives and have no future or hope.

  "There's nothing that can't be done. Chucheng, I and Yin Wusheng were all villagers in a small mountain village before, and we didn't understand the outside world very well. And Yinling won't have an easy time in the outside world either. After killing Red William, we'll still need the guidance of the Chucheng brothers." Youquan said.

  "Very well...!" Chu Cheng finally nodded.

  The kidneys may not be particularly good, but the eyes are indeed quite nice.

  Chu City left the Yīn Líng Gǔ Dào through a teleportation array and arrived in the outside world.

  As far as the eye can see, this place is already outside the North Gate of Shanyin City. Three thousand meters away, the high walls and grand gates of Shanyin City are guarded by row upon row of black-armored warriors holding long spears and wearing quivers at their waists, ever vigilant and never relaxing their guard.

  To the north is a straight road, 10 meters wide, which can accommodate four cars side by side.

  This is a straight road, a straight road that crosses the mountains and connects the Shanyin City in the arms of the mountains with the outside world. This road, at least thousands of miles long, has consumed countless manpower.

  There are also heavy troops stationed here, but they no longer restrict anyone from entering or leaving. Because under the martial law of Shanyin City, those who can still enter and exit this place are either people of the city lord or those from the Yīn Líng Gǔ Dào (Yin Spirit Ancient Path).

  "We are still safe for now. Red William will not dare to make a move before we pass through the heavily guarded checkpoint. We should start preparing." Chuyi cast his gaze into the distance, but it was too far away, and although he had the Blood Pupil Technique, he couldn't find any trace of Red William.

  "Hmm. From now on, we must be fully vigilant. That red-haired devil Red William, famous far and wide, is probably already monitoring us." Cold Chan Feng strongly raised his spirits, saying in a low voice.

  The wound on Leng Cangfeng's body has stabilized under the treatment of second-grade medicinal pills and is slowly healing. Now it's just a matter of spending time to recover.

  At this point, Ling Xian's combat power can almost be ignored.

  "Haha, just monitor him then, what's there to be afraid of?" Dongfang Ye shouted loudly.

  He didn't even realize that both Leng Xiang and Chu Cheng had already condensed eight drops of Blood Essence, while he himself still only had two drops. The gap between them couldn't be measured in miles.

  Of course, this is just on the surface.

  At this time, "Dongfang Ye" is not Dongfang Ye. "Leng Cang Feng", also isn't the real Leng Cang Feng.

  They were two people transformed from Yin Wu and You Quan.

  The true Eastern Wilds and Cold Storage Ridge still remain in the Shadowy Ancient Path.

  After all, Dongfang Ye and Leng Cangfeng are too weak. If they were to face Hong Wuye head-on, it would be very dangerous.

  "Wow, I'm going to teach that Red William a good lesson!" "Dongfang Ye" took out the Ruyi Xuan Iron Rod, his face filled with anger.

  This guy is Yin Wu's disguise, completely acting naturally, both of them are the same kind of people.

  "Hmph! Red William? If I weren't injured, he wouldn't be a match for my Cold Storage Blade!" "Cold Storage Blade" said coldly.

  This guy is dressed as You Quan. You Quan's thoughts are meticulous and he plays the role of Leng Cangfeng very realistically.

  "Alright, Dongfang brothers and Cangfeng, if Hong Weilian dares to launch a sneak attack, you just need to defend yourselves. I alone can kill him! Sun Yan and Shenjian Chuyi both died at my hands, let alone a mere Hong Weilian?" A cold glint flashed in Chu Cheng's eyes.

  Appearing arrogant and overbearing, but this is a performance for Hong Weilian. In fact, Chucheng was extremely careful and cautious everywhere.

  The three of them passed through the checkpoint set up by Shan Yin City after a thorough investigation, and confirmed that He Xue and Chu Yunxi were not related to the assassination, so they let them go immediately.

  Continue onward, the road ahead is wide and spacious. Although Mount Yin City is currently sealed off, there are still quite a number of people coming and going on the Ancient Yin Spirit Road, with someone passing by every now and then.

  These people were all swift and speedy, while the three from Chu City walked slowly, with a somewhat carefree attitude.

  Half an hour later, the three of them had already left the mountain pass of Yangguan far behind. Turning back to look, all that could be seen was the majestic and magnificent Yangguan Pass, standing upright between heaven and earth, telling the story of 3,000 years of wind and rain.

  Suddenly, Chu Cheng stopped in his tracks.

  "What's wrong?" Yin Wu asked.

  "Here." Chu Cheng's expression was solemn.

  In his spiritual perception, a strong and intense aura of blood was currently three thousand meters ahead, rushing towards him at a speed of thirty meters per second.

  At this speed, it will take at most a dozen or so breaths to arrive here.

  "I can feel it, a extremely dense and rich aura, far surpassing that of any Seven Treasures Realm expert I've ever seen. This person's cultivation should still be at the second level of the Seven Treasures Realm, with a White Silver Treasure Bone, but it's likely they've already reached the peak of the second level, just one step away from reaching the third level. Is he really the Red-Haired Devil, Red William?" Yuquan's eyes narrowed slightly.

  "It's definitely him!" Chu Cheng took out his long gun, Jing Guang.

  As they spoke, a strong and intense aura had already appeared in front of them, stopping at a distance of about 100 meters.

  This is a red-haired giant, at least three meters tall, with forearms thicker than others' thighs, but skin and bones, the whole person looks like a skeleton wrapped in skin, very frightening.

  In his hand, he still grasped a two-and-a-half-meter-long crimson giant knife, with a blood-red skull inlaid on the hilt, breathtaking.

  "Blood Skull Knife, Red-Haired Devil! Red William, you've finally come!" Chu Cheng gripped his long spear tightly, fully on guard.

  "Hah, you knew I was coming and still dared to come out and die? And you even brought a useless person and a cripple?" Red William swept his gaze over Youquan and Yiwu, his face showing disdain.

  "You're just a waste of space! I, Dongfang Ye, can smash you into pulp with just one stick! You unrecognizable thing, forget it! I'm too lazy to bully you, so I'll hand you over to Chucheng, lest my hands get dirty!" Yin Wu said, imitating Dongfang Ye's tone and words, then supported Youquan and retreated a few steps, handing Hong Weilian over to Chucheng.

  "Haha, as expected, you're a waste, not even having the courage to face me. Chucheng, it's a pity that someone like you, who is considered a young talent, has friends like these two, it's really pitiful."

  Hong Weilian was cautious by nature, but also extremely arrogant, thinking that he had already grasped the initiative and controlled the life and death of his opponent, so he laughed loudly and didn't take his opponent seriously at all.

  However, Chu Cheng said: "Hong Weilian, I have been through the only hunt, and I have cleared the hunting ground. Then on the life-and-death arena, I first killed Shenjian Chuyi, and then killed Sun Yan. Hong Weilian, aren't you afraid of me?"
