Chapter 176: Sudden Encounter with the Living
"Haha, fifth brother, if you say such things now, you must be a little too confident!"
"Yes, do you think that your North Courtyard can really cultivate another genius like Chen'er?"
"That's it, but then again, if you can really cultivate another such genius for the sect, then don't say next year, even if the first sect in every future session is given to you in the North Courtyard, we will definitely have no complaints!"
In a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere, when all the heads of the family were teasing each other like a child, looking at the gradually rising sun, Duan Chen knew that it was time for him to say goodbye to the elders.
Outside the gate of Yunmeng Sect, waving fiercely at the elders who kept telling him to pay attention to safety, Duan Chen walked along a mountain road all the way to the bottom of Yunmeng Mountain.
On the spacious, lonely road, looking back at the towering Yunmeng Mountain, Duan Chen bowed three times towards the sect that loomed in the clouds and mist, and then set off all the way to the west.
These days, after he decided to go out to practice, he looked through a lot of information about the distribution of cities in the Longyan Dynasty, and finally after some screening, Duan Chen set his first stop in Wolong City, which was located in the west of the Longyan Dynasty.
According to the description on the map, Wolong City is the second largest city in the Longyan Dynasty after the imperial capital, and because it is located on the border of the Longyan Dynasty, it is surrounded by some vast wilderness and mountains.
More importantly, according to relevant records, there are often some sect ruins and secret treasure crypts that have been passed down from ancient times around Wolong City.
And this is undoubtedly a very huge temptation for Duan Chen, who wants to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Of course, due to the frequent appearance of secret treasures, Wolong City can also be said to be one of the most chaotic cities in the entire Longyan Dynasty, where there are almost a lot of powerful forces and mercenary groups from all over the country.
It was obviously a bit dangerous to go there as rashly as Duan Chen alone, but although he knew very well in his heart that this trip would be extremely dangerous, Duan Chen still did not have the slightest hesitation or retreat.
As the saying goes, there is no strength in the world that is obtained for nothing, so since you want to make a gain, it is normal to take some risks.
In the northern courtyard of the Yunmeng Sect, when Duan Chen was approaching in the direction of Wolong City, Meng Hao had already summoned all the disciples to the martial arts field for the first time, and announced to them the decision of Luo Fan and the others just now.
For a while, after learning that because of Duan Chen, they could freely flip through the combat skills of each academy in the future, countless disciples of the North Courtyard secretly thanked Duan Chen in their hearts, and at the same time, they swore that they must practice hard to win glory for the entire North Courtyard.
Time flickered, it had been three days since Duan Chen left the Yunmeng Sect, and during this period, Duan Chen, on the premise of not delaying his journey, had even taken advantage of his rest time at night to slowly come into contact with the fourth-class combat technique Ten Thousand Sword Techniques that he had snatched from Guan Fei.
Although he already had a lot of combat skills mastered now, as his own strength improved, Duan Chen couldn't help but find that some of the low-level combat skills he had mastered before were no longer very practical for him.
Therefore, in order to improve his strength, and at the same time, in order to have one more life-saving means in the unknown Wolong City, he really began to practice this Ten Thousand Swords Technique.
With the study of the past few days, Duan Chen already had a preliminary understanding of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, this combat technique is actually a powerful offensive technique that requires the practitioner to rely on the strong Yuan Force as the support to gather all the Yuan Force outside the body, so as to condense the giant sword to attack the enemy.
The condensation and formation of the Yuan Force from the outside of the body not only requires the practitioner to be proficient in the control of his own Yuan Force, but also requires the practitioner's Yuan Force to be extremely strong if he wants to burst out the power of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, if the cultivator's Yuan Power is not strong enough, then even if the giant sword is forcibly condensed, the power of the latter will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
However, these hard conditions that seemed to be a headache for countless people obviously did not exist for Duan Chen. After all, due to the stagnation in the past few years, he has already made him much higher than ordinary people in terms of both the control of Yuan Force and the thickness of the force.
"According to the indication on the map, it should take about half a day to reach Wolong City!"
At noon, looking up at the scorching sun hanging on his head, Duan Chen said to himself after simply eating a mouthful of dry food.
In the past few days, although Duan Chen had also encountered some people and horses, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose to hide or dodge in advance after feeling their aura.
After all, now that he is alone, and the world is sinister, it is better to be cautious and careful in everything.
It was another two or three hours of continuous travel, and when the scorching sun continued to fall towards the west, Duan Chen also came to a mound.
Looking at the mound in front of him, which was about three or four zhang high, just as Duan Chen was about to climb to the top of the mound to rest for a while, a cry full of anger suddenly came from the other side of the mound.
"Mu De, as the second-generation elder of the Mu family, don't you feel ashamed to embarrass us juniors here?"
I saw that under the protection of several guards, a blue-clothed young man in his twenties who was quite handsome in his twenties said to several men who were surrounding him with a trace of anger.
"Alas, it seems that I won't be able to rest properly this time!" The forward body suddenly paused, listening to the shouts coming from behind the mound, Duan Chen shook his head a little helplessly, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Hmph, since our Mu family announced that the treasure land was closed to the outside world, all the big and small families in Wolong City have all chosen to quit very well, but your Liang family doesn't know how to lift up, and you want to intervene sideways, so if you want to blame, blame the elders of your family for not doing their best!"
In the face of the angry shouts of the young man in blue, a man in his forties and fifties, with a fleshy but unusually thick face, with a trace of disdain, signaled his subordinates to surround the young man in blue and the others in the middle.
"The Land of Treasure opens?"
On the other side of the mound, just as Duan Chen was just about to leave this place of right and wrong, suddenly the words that came out from behind the mound again couldn't help but make his figure that wanted to leave stay in place.
"Boy, you don't want to be nosy, do you? Listen to me, with your current situation, it's better to leave as soon as possible!"
Looking at Duan Chen, who was gradually stopping, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, who was afraid that the latter would cause trouble, hurriedly urged.
