Chapter 18: Tempest Village (There is a shift in the early morning)
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Therefore, Duan Chen was quite interested in this, it was the peak demon beast of the Xuanling Realm, for many people, it was a top powerhouse fighting, if he could see the whole scene, it could also be said to have a lot of attraction.
After the two finished their meal and settled the bill, they left the Rifle Inn and rushed towards the location of the barren mountain range.
It's already afternoon, and you have to hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to reach your destination at night.
After all, the barren mountains are located in relatively remote places, and the roads to get there are naturally extremely rugged and extremely harsh.
After leaving the inn, Duan Chen was a little embarrassed, because, on the avenue, there were too many people of all kinds, and looking at the direction they were rushing to, it was the barren mountain range.
"Young Master, do you really say that there are really demon beasts at the peak of the Xuanling Realm?"
Duan Chen and the others sat on their horses, hurrying on the road, and at this moment, Yun Xuan asked.
"I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface!" Duan Chen thought about it for a long time before he was uncertain.
After that, the two of them didn't say anything all the way, but they pushed the speed of the journey to the extreme, because it was not far from the fall of night.
"Young master, look!"
At this time, Yun Xuan reined in the horse and pointed his finger ahead.
When Duan Chen heard this, his eyes were not far ahead.
There, there is a cottage with a huge area.
And at the entrance of the cottage, there are guards guarding it.
Duan Chen and the others quickly came to the gate of the cottage, but they were stopped by the guards.
"If you want to enter the Barren Mountain Range, you must pay ten spirit crystals, otherwise, you don't want to go in. β
The guard drew his knife, stepped forward, and stopped in front of Duan Chen and the others.
"Why are you paying here, this is a mountain road, not your territory!" Yun Xuan was quite dissatisfied.
However, just as Yun Xuan was about to say something, Duan Chen waved his hand and took out ten spirit crystals, and then threw them at the guard.
"Hmph! count you as acquaintances!" the guard dismissed.
When Duan Chen and the others wanted to drive the horses to continue their journey, they heard a quarrel from behind.
"Little sister, why don't you have a spirit crystal! If you want to go in, it's not impossible, as long as you play with your brothers, the brothers will let you in. β
A group of guards surrounded a young girl, making jokes, and their eyes were full of greed and obscenity.
"What do you want to do, isn't it possible to come and go freely here a few days ago?" The girl was naturally a little timid in the face of these big men.
"What are you doing? You'll know what we're going to do in a moment!
The first guard was a burly man with a lewd appearance, and at this moment, he was laughing wildly and walked towards the girl.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a voice that was not so loud and even a little green sounded suddenly.
The person who opened his mouth was naturally Duan Chen.
"Boy, you don't give me more nosy, otherwise you will suffer!"
After the burly man learned that the person who interfered was Duan Chen, he didn't care, after all, he was just a hairy boy.
"Let this girl go, there are thirty spirit crystals here, and they are yours!" Duan Chen said tentatively.
"Uncle is in a good mood today, get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise, be careful that you lack arms and legs!" the burly man's voice raised a few points.
"Huh"
However, at this moment, a crisp sound of a long sword coming out of its sheath suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterward, many people saw a silver light flash in front of their eyes, and then heard a terrible howl.
"Ahh My arm!"
The burly man knelt on the ground in pain, and his entire huge body trembled violently because of the pain of drilling his heart at this moment.
Because, not long ago, he was cut off an arm alive by a silver long sword.
"You killed this kid for me!"
After a long time, the burly man endured the pain, looked at Duan Chen with resentful eyes, and commanded in a hoarse voice.
For a while, the sound of drawing knives kept ringing, and more and more guards rushed over to this side.
"Boy, you are so bold that you dare to oppose our Tempest! Son, right?"
There were hundreds of guards and big men, and they surrounded Duan Chen and the others.
"Hehe, a rabble!"
Duan Chen pulled out the 'Cold Moon' long sword again and held it in his hand.
"Since you are looking for death, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"
Duan Chen sneered, and the Cold Moon Long Sword came out of his hand, and under the drive of an invisible energy, it flew directly towards those Tempest Village guards.
"Huh"
A silver light flashed, and before he could react, a big man was cut off by the sword of the Cold Moon Long Sword.
"Woooo
For a while, everyone saw a silver light, shuttling back and forth in the camp of these people in Storm Village, and where the Cold Moon Sword passed, there would be a bloody human head, rising to the sky.
In just a few minutes, no less than 30 people fell among the people in Hurricane Village.
"Stop!"
Just as the Cold Moon Sword was reaping wantonly, a man's voice suddenly sounded.
With a move of Duan Chen's palm, Han Yue returned to the scabbard in his hand.
"Who is your Excellency, who dares to care about my Tempest Village?"
The man who spoke was a young man with a long scar on his face.
"You are the so-called steward of the Wind Village?" Duan Chen smiled and asked at the young man.
"Yes, I am the steward of this place!
Seeing Duan Chen like this, the big man was a little stunned.
At this time, Yun Xuan explained: "Young Master, this Tempest Village is actually a force to be reckoned with, because they have sub-villages in the four major regions of the entire Longyan County, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest. β
"Although the strength of these sub-villages is not as good as the three sects and one valley, if the four sub-villages are gathered together, then their overall strength, even compared to the top three princes among the hundred and eight princes, is not much better!"
Hearing this, Duan Chen was a little stunned, he didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous Wind Village actually had such a huge foundation.
"Then their existence, the people of the three sects and one valley, don't have any ideas?" Duan Chen said the most incomprehensible thing in his heart.
After all, these people are all mountain bandits, killing and looting all day long, doing all kinds of evil, as the three sects and one valley of the four major sects, let these people mess around?
"Hehe, it's not that they don't want to take care of it, but they don't dare to take care of it!" Yun Xuan smiled bitterly, and said, "Because... The big backer behind this Tempest Village is the North Youhou!"
Hearing this, Duan Chen couldn't help frowning slightly.
The strength of this Northern Youhou is so strong, even the three sects and one valley, which are the forces of the four transcendent sects, dare not challenge their authority.
It can be seen from this that the strength of this northern secluded weather is really strong!
"Your Excellency, it's better for you to give us an explanation, otherwise, how will I gain a foothold here in the future in the Wind Village, and how will I explain to the top?"
At the corner of the big man's mouth, a sneering arc was hooked, and he said to Duan Chen politely.
"Hehe, I still need to explain my actions to others?"
Duan Chen smiled heartily when he heard this, and then came to the girl under the stunned gaze of the wind village and the others.
"Little sister, why don't you come with me!" Duan Chen smiled gently at the girl.
Only now did Duan Chen see the girl's appearance clearly.
The girl's facial features are good, her skin is even more snow-white, she is wearing a white plain dress, coupled with her green face, the whole person looks like she exudes endless youthful vitality.
"Thisβ" The little girl hesitated for a moment, but after she looked at Storm Village and the others, she nodded with a flushed cheek.
Duan Chen stretched out his hand to the girl, and when the latter saw this, he obediently stretched out his hand and held Duan Chen's big hand.
With a slight force of his arm, Duan Chen held the girl in his arms, and then, under the surprised gaze of many people in Hurricane Village, he drove the horse in a grand manner and walked towards the direction of the barren mountain range.
Looking at the three of them in the distance, a junior brother of Tempest Village hurriedly walked out and asked quite incomprehensibly: "Big brother, although our team is only a small force, but with our status in Tempest Village, we don't have to be afraid of this person!"
"You know a fart, that person just now is a soul master, even if you put it aside, then do you know who he is?"
The big man at the head said in a low tone.
"Duan... Duan Chen, could it be that he is the young genius who has been in the limelight recently, Duan Chen?"
The little brother thought for a moment before he remembered something.
"This master is not an existence we can provoke, don't you forget who his father is?"
"If his father is really angry and leads the Qilin Guards here, at that time, even the Northern Youhou will have to be cautious, not to mention our Tempest Village..."
