Chapter 17: A New Horizon

Thirty miles south of Rongcheng City, there is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

In the early years, there were rumors that there was a giant dragon entrenched in the valley, so the valley was also called "Wolong Valley".

Four days ago, due to the incident of the "White Jade Mine", the Red Flower Society and the Qingzhu Gang fought here, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, which finally led to the county guard to suppress it.

Subsequently, the Wolong Valley was under martial law for ten miles in a radius of the county guard, and outsiders were not allowed to approach.

Now, four days have passed, and there is not the slightest news from inside Wolong Valley, as if nothing has happened.

Wang Hao used his strange body technique to silently avoid the outer armies and march towards Wolong Valley.

To his astonishment, he had actually sensed the presence of the cultivators among the patrols outside the valley.

He felt that something was wrong.

It's just a county guard, how can there be so many cultivators working for it?

Fortunately, although there are cultivators in charge of patrolling, their cultivation is generally inferior to their own, and coupled with Wang Hao's strong body, no one can find his traces.

Wolong Valley valley mouth.

Wang Hao stood on the branch of a giant tree, through the dense leaves, through the gap, quietly looking at the guards at the mouth of the valley.

The guards were dressed in red, very eye-catching, and the word "ghost" with black characters on a white background on their chest showed that their sect was the overlord of this Yuzhou: the Ghost King Sect!

The Ghost King Sect is a subsidiary sect of the Royal Beast Sect, the sect is in this Yuzhou, and the strongest person in the sect is a great monk in the Jindan period, and there are more than a dozen elders with strength in the foundation building period.

At this moment, the disciples of the Ghost King Sect appeared here, and the purpose was already obvious.

They have come to rob this spirit stone mine.

To say that this spirit stone mine is in the boundary of Yuzhou, they are the overlord of Yuzhou, and it is not too much to occupy a spirit stone mine.

But this Yuzhou is also the territory of the Royal Beast Sect.

In the early years of the Royal Beast Sect, there was a saying that which sect discovered the mineral resources in the territory of the Qin State first, then this spirit stone mine belonged to which sect, and others were not allowed to rob it.

Similarly, Wang Hao also knew that one of the county guards or the worshippers around him must be a disciple of the inner sect of the Imperial Beast Sect.

Then, to put it mildly, this spirit stone mine should belong to the Royal Beast Sect that was discovered first.

However, since the Ghost King Sect dared to do this, and was not afraid that the Imperial Beast Sect would condemn them after discovering it, it seemed that they had also made sufficient preparations.

At that time, even if the Royal Beast Sect really knew about it, it was estimated that the Ghost King Sect would shirk all the responsibility.

After thinking about it, Wang Hao chose to withdraw from Wolong Valley temporarily.

The interests of the sect are indeed important, but as a disciple of the outer sect during the Qi cultivation period, his strength is low, and he has not yet been involved in it.

It's the little life that matters.

After widening the distance from Wolong Valley, Wang Hao took out a transmission note from the storage bag and reported the situation here to his master Qiu Gu, as for how the sect dealt with it in the end, Wang Hao did not participate.

......

The plates of the Qin State resemble an irregular cone.

To the north is a continuous group of mountains, known as 100,000 mountains, and there are many spirit beasts in the mountains, which are extremely powerful.

Xiangzhou is a state with the longest contact area with 100,000 mountains, and the sect is located here, and it is precisely because of the strongest force that it wants to use the strongest force to prevent the spirit beasts in the mountains from entering the country.

To the west, Qin intersected with two other states on the mainland, namely Yan and Stan, and the three kingdoms were in a triangular situation.

Both of these countries were on a par with the Qin State in strength, and both were controlled by an extremely strong sect.

There are also frictions at the junction of the three countries, and everyone wants to encroach on more land area.

Qin faces the sea in the south, the ocean is called the Phantom Wave Sea, and the spirit beasts in the sea are said to be more powerful, and there are even real dragons in the depths of the ocean.

However, sea life is clearly not interested in people on the mainland, and as long as people don't go too deep, there are generally no problems.

In the entire Qin State, only a few states in the south were the most peaceful, and the people were the richest.

To the east of the Qin State is the famous spirit beast forest, although the spirit beasts in the forest are not as powerful as the 100,000 mountains, but the number is almost endless, every few years, there will be a huge number of spirit beasts due to the lack of living space, squeezed out by the powerful spirit beasts in the depths of the spirit beast forest, and launch an attack on the human realm.

However, since there was also a Cambrian Kingdom to the northeast of the Qin State, three-quarters of their entire country was bordered by the Spirit Beast Forest, attracting a large amount of Spirit Beast firepower.

This caused the pressure on the three states bordering the Qin State and the Spirit Beast Forest to be reduced, but even so, every time the spirit beast that attacked the border of the Qin State would cause great losses to the border.

In the defense areas of the four directions of the Qin State, the Imperial Beast Sect has a Jindan elder stationed all year round to be responsible for defense.

Among them, due to the fierce battle in the direction of the Spirit Beast Forest, the sect has issued tasks within the sect year after year, sending a large number of disciples to hunt spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts are full of treasures, which can not only reduce the number of spirit beasts, prolong the outbreak cycle of the beast tide, but also obtain cultivation resources, killing two birds with one stone.

However, since there is fighting, there must be casualties.

Every year, there are many disciples of the Royal Beast Sect who die in the Spirit Beast Forest, and many of them are reluctant to come.

Therefore, the sect has issued two kinds of tasks, one is a mandatory task and the other is a non-mandatory task.

The designated disciples who receive the mandatory tasks of the sect must complete the hunting tasks assigned by the sect within a limited time, and those who fail to complete them will even face punishment, of course, the rewards for completing them are also quite expensive.

And the task that Wang Hao received was the non-mandatory task issued by the sect.

This kind of task is specially prepared by the sect for low-level disciples, and if the low-level disciples do not improve their cultivation in the sect for a long time, they can contract an ordinary spirit beast and come to the spirit beast forest to hunt the spirit beast.

In this way, you can not only hone your spiritual skills, but also get a lot of gains, and you may be able to save a certain amount of wealth in the future and contract with better quality spirit beasts.

It can be regarded as a channel for "turning over".

Of course, everything is not absolute, and there are still many genius disciples with ideas who come here to hone themselves.

As long as the low-level disciples don't go too deep, the low-level spirit beasts on the periphery of the spirit beast forest still can't pose much of a threat.

Jiangzhou is the easternmost state of Qin, and Yuzhou and Fuzhou are located on both sides of Jiangzhou, both bordering the Spirit Beast Forest.

And Wu'an County is one of the two counties bordering the Spirit Beast Forest in Jiangzhou.

On this day, Wang Hao came from Zongmen, plus the delay on the way, which lasted about eight days, and finally arrived in Wu'an County.

Pingjiang City is located in the westernmost part of Wu'an County, and it is still a little far from the spirit beast forest defense line in Wu'an County.

From the moment Wang Hao stepped into Wu'an County, it meant stepping into the boundary of Pingjiang City.

There is a way to be closer to home, and more timid.

Wang Hao fused the memories of the two worlds, full of memories here, and he couldn't hold it in his heart, and he couldn't wait to return home as soon as possible.

Soon, Wang Hao rushed to the vicinity of Pingjiang City.

At this moment, in Pingjiang City, the city gate is wide open, and countless vehicles are coming in and out at the city gate, a prosperous scene.

Wang Hao stepped forward quickly and followed the crowd towards the city.

Slowly, Wang Hao noticed that something was wrong.

He actually found the aura of several cultivators near the city gate.

Judging by their demeanor, it seems that they have come here for more than the first time, and some of them even greet the ordinary people around them skillfully.

Passing through the city gate, Wang Hao walked on the road in the city, and from time to time he could find the traces of a cultivator.

Cultivators can sense each other's aura through the power of their souls, and this naturally will not be false.

If you want to avoid being discovered by other cultivators, you must either cultivate much higher than the other party, or you have to cultivate a spiritual technique that specializes in concealing your aura.

Wang Hao has lived in Pingjiang City for more than ten years, and he still knows some familiar faces.

But when he found out that among those familiar faces, there were actually cultivators, he was a little uneasy.

Could it be that Pingjiang City, where he has lived for more than ten years, is it a fake?

Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel ashamed and afraid of his ignorance at the beginning.

At that time in Pingjiang City, as the eldest and youngest of the Wang family, he did some irrational things, and he didn't know if he had offended any hidden cultivators.

If so, thank them for not killing!
