The Xuandao Sect Martial Arts Pavilion is not only a place where martial arts gather, but also a concentration of various classic materials in the sect. The first, second, and third floors are open to all members, while those above the fourth floor must hold the corresponding Douwu Token or have the status of elite disciples and elders to be eligible to enter. The same is true for the texts, which are stored on each level according to their preciousness.

Zhan Chen searched the first, second, and third floors of the Martial Arts Pavilion, but he didn't find what he wanted, so he came to the fourth floor, and finally found the information he needed in the northwest corner, and spent 500,000 merit points to enter the information into one and bring it out of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

When he returned home, Zhan Chen took out the jade slip and looked at it carefully. In the jade slip is a long introduction of tens of thousands of words and a detailed map, which of course includes the western border, but also the abyss pool mentioned by Chu Danqing.

As can be seen from the map, the western part of the Daning Kingdom is extremely vast and the mountains stretch, and I don't know how many secret treasures and dangers are hidden. It is a mysterious and powerful wilderness land.

And from the west to the northwest, it is the junction of several major countries. From the map, it can be seen that there are the Daning Kingdom dominated by the Xuandao Sect, the Huayi Kingdom dominated by the Yunshan Sword Alliance, the Great Yin Kingdom dominated by the Yuci Palace, the Youguo dominated by the cult, and the Blood Luo Kingdom dominated by the Blood Sect. The three righteous sects, the two demon sects, and the forces of the five directions converge here.

Therefore, the entanglement of these countries has become the chaotic zone mentioned by Chu Danqing. It is a veritable world where the strong are respected, and the forces of good and evil have reached a delicate balance, and can even form a tacit understanding to a certain extent. At least on the surface, everyone can get along harmoniously, and there are a large number of loose cultivators who are separated from the good and evil factions to live and cultivate here.

In addition, there are many large and small dangers here. The most famous is of course the Yuanchi, which is a large canyon that runs through the center of the Beihai continent, with a narrow and vast area, thousands of miles long, separating the Daning Kingdom and the Youguo Kingdom, almost becoming the border between the two great powers; Standing on this ravine and looking down, it was pitch black, black fog was misty, and a whirlwind blew from time to time, which seemed deep and terrifying.

According to rumors, there is a terrifying and forbidden thing hidden at the bottom of the abyssal pool, and those who have been there have never returned. I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but every year countless people try to explore this deep valley, but most of them do not return, and the very few who survive are also silent and secretive when they are mentioned in the valley. This makes this big ravine have a thick layer of weird mystery.

In addition to the deep pond, there are also the towering Wudang Mountain Range, and the vast Hongti swamp is also famous, and it is known as the three dangerous places in the neutral zone.

Of course, these most dangerous places are also known as the burial grounds of countless treasures and are known as the paradise of sanitation. Every day, many young warriors in their prime and old warriors who are about to die flock to these places, hoping to get adventures in these places and change their fate from then on.

Looking through this information, Zhan Chen found a phenomenon, that is, the description of the Northwest Realm on this map is not complete, like some famous dangerous places, they are all covered in thick strokes, and their introductions are also vague and vague, so he thought: "It seems that these places are really dangerous, I'm afraid that even those predecessors have only tasted it, if I want to go to these dangerous places to explore, I can only rely on myself!"

Zhan Chen has been attracted to this mysterious region and has decided to explore the western lands. Besides, this opportunity is rare, he missed this time, and it will take another 20 years to wait for the next time, and before, he has wasted too much time! So he stood up, walked out of the quiet room, and said to Su Yun who was sitting in the room: "Su Yun, I will discuss something for you." ”

Su Yun was startled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing her in a daze just now, Zhan Chen knew that she was thinking about her son again, but she still said: "I want to take on a garrison mission and go to the western land to guard the border for 20 years." ”

"The land of the west, what kind of place is that?" Su Yun felt a little abrupt.

"It's on the northwestern border of the country of Daning. ”

"That's far away. ”

"Hmm"

"Is it dangerous?"

"Danger!"

"Do you have to go?"

"Yes - Yun'er, you know, if I want to improve my cultivation, I must be tempered by blood and fire, and today the teacher recommended this place to me, so I want to go. ”

"Well, I understand, you can go with confidence! It just so happens that I'm going to retreat and break through the Martial King Great Perfection realm. Su Yun suddenly smiled at him.

But Zhan Chen's heart was even more unpleasant, he understood that Su Yun was comforting himself, parting was always painful. But this is the common problem faced by all families in the Wanfa Continent. If you want to become stronger, you have to spend more time on cultivation, you have to take more risks, and you can't enjoy the joy of family.

But Zhan Chen has made up his mind, because he knows very well that this is their fate, whether it is for himself, for his wife, or for his son, it is their fate to become stronger, only when they become stronger, can they protect themselves, can they obtain a long lifespan, and can they stay together for a longer time and enjoy a good time longer.

"Zhan Chen, when are you going to leave, I'll send you. ”

"I- haven't signed up yet. ”

"Well, you decided to come down and talk to me. ”

"Good. ”

......

The next day, Zhan Chen went to the House of Elders and told him about the task of defending the Western Lands, and the deacon of the House of Elders immediately agreed. Because, this is a dangerous task, the more people who go the better, and there is no limit to the number of places.

Then, Zhan Chen returned to Nanhua Peak to continue his duties, and after nearly half a year, the notice finally came down, asking him to prepare and gather at the sect under the mountain three days later.

The night before leaving, Su Yun specially prepared a sumptuous meal for him, which was his favorite food. The two drank for a night, and said goodbye to their lingering feelings, and they didn't say much.

On the second day, Su Yun personally sent him to the sect gate. Zhan Chen looked at it at a glance, and there were already a lot of people there, including inner disciples, elite disciples, and many sect elders, who obviously set off with him to take on the task of guarding the town.

He said to Su Yun beside him: "Yun'er, just send it here, it's not too early, I'm afraid we will leave soon." ”

Su Yun looked at him affectionately and said, "That Zhan Chen, I'm leaving, you must be careful, take care, I will wait for you to ......"

"Hmm!" Zhan Chen felt that his eyes were a little moist again, and hurriedly turned his head away and walked quickly towards the crowd. It's not good to become a family, it's a little more worrying, and it softens people's hearts.

And Su Yun also looked at her husband's figure directly, until it merged into the flow of people, and then turned around and went up the mountain.

Let's say that Zhan Chen was standing in the team, looking around, and Leng Buding heard a voice behind him: "You are Zhan Chen, right?"

He felt familiar when he heard the voice, and when he looked back, he saw a familiar handsome and extraordinary figure standing behind him, looking at him, and showing a kind smile, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You are Zhou Ziru." ”

"Yes, yes, it's rare that Brother Zhan still remembers me. Zhou Ziru shook the folding fan and stepped forward to say.

Zhan Chen took a closer look and found that he couldn't see Zhou Ziru's cultivation, and then looked at it with the True Pupil Secret Technique, and was suddenly shocked, his cultivation had actually reached the middle level of Emperor Wu! An inexplicable sense of injustice arose, "More than 20 years ago, I was slightly inferior to this Zhou Ziru, although the two of us also crossed the level to challenge, but I won the game after a hard fight, and this Zhou Ziru only used one move." Now that his cultivation is even higher than mine, it can be seen that the gap between the two of us has increased again!"

At this time, there was a faint sense of urgency in Zhan Chen's heart, although his intuition told him that this Elder Zhou was not an enemy. But somehow, he didn't want to lose to the man in front of him.

"Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for twenty years, and your cultivation has increased again. Zhan Chen said calmly.

"Isn't Brother Zhan also improving? I'm just lucky to be one step ahead of you. I'm sure you'll be able to catch up soon. When the time comes, I'm looking forward to competing with you, brother in arms. Zhou Ziru finally said what he thought in his heart.

Zhan Chen listened to his provocation, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he returned: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I won't let you wait too long!"

The eyes of these two people finally met, as if sparks were sparked, at this moment, their hearts were full of war, who is the leader of the younger generation? Who can dominate the leader? When the two tigers meet, there will be a fight!

At this moment, a loud voice came from the top of the steps: "Everyone pay attention!"

Zhan Chen also followed the crowd to follow the prestige, only to see an elder in gorgeous clothes appear on the high steps, with his hands behind his back, looking down at the people below.
