Chapter 1: Red Maple Castle

(The new volume has begun, and the storyline in the later stages unfolds, and it still needs to be carefully conceived and weighed repeatedly, so the update during this time will be a little slow, please forgive me, brothers...... )

The Wuteng Great Desert lies between Tushan and Yuanwu and Shangyuan Counties, the north and south are long and narrow and the east and west are short and narrow, accounting for most of the territory of Yuanwu and Shangyuan Counties, and Yunzhong County is located in the northeast corner of the Wuteng Great Desert.

The wind is howling, and the sea of sand under the sunset is like golden waves, slowly unfolding in front of you, and the sky flame floating like a purple glow on the top of Tushan Mountain is like the other side of the sand sea that is out of reach.

Looking at the stone ridge in the vast sea of sand like floating clouds, Chen Xun not only sighed, he thought that after leaving Tu Mountain, it would be the fertile land of Western Xinjiang where Emperor Xiwu was full of flowers, but where did he think that it was even more desolate than the canglans.

"What are you looking at, the lord let you turtle grandsons eat enough, not to ask you to come and see the scenery!"

With a fierce scolding, the steward who sat on horseback to supervise the bitter slave waved the horsewhip in his hand towards Chen Xun, and with a "snap" out of thin air, a trace of spiritual power stabbed directly into Chen Xun's chest.

Chen Xun's heart was like being twisted with a knife, and he was so painful that he curled up and knelt down like a boiled shrimp, unable to exert any strength, so he could only look up at the person who scolded him with a pleading look.

"It's all a bunch of lazy people, I don't know how my master's surname is written if I don't give some color to see!" Zhao Tiangui, the steward of the Wei family, scolded and scolded, seeing the bitter slave half-kneeling on the ground in front of him, his eyes were as docile as sheep, and there was an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

Although the people of the Thousand Swords Sect were repelled, Chifeng Castle also collapsed in the fierce battle.

If you can't repair Chifeng Fort before the reinforcements from the Thousand Swords Sect arrive, it will be difficult to resist the next wave of strong attacks from the Thousand Swords Sect with its broken formation.

Bitter slaves with three or five thousand catties of strength on their shoulders are not common in Chifeng Fort, and they have to count on these bitter slaves to transport the mined iron core stone to Chifeng Castle a hundred miles away, Zhao Tiangui waved the whip in his hand, adding two fresh blood marks to the back of the obedient bitter slave in front of him, but he did not use the mana of the Servant Heart Talisman to torture him.

Chen Xun pulled the rope that was deeply stretched into his shoulder, and when he looked back, he saw the iron core stone behind him, which was as huge as a shack, and together with the other bitter slaves, he dragged the boulder behind him step by step and walked forward with difficulty.

Almost four days later, more than 800 slaves dragged more than 20 boulders to Chifeng Castle, and nearly 100 slaves died in half of the road or quarry.

Chen Xun took two wheat cakes, and instead of squeezing them with the other bitter slaves, he went to the stream and found a stream stone to sit down, tore the wheat cakes into small pieces and threw them into his mouth to chew, and drank a sip of stream water when he was thirsty.

The Chifeng Fort behind the maple forest on the west bank of Shixi is smaller than the Black Python Stone Village, but it is all built with iron-core stones as solid as gold and iron, and it flashes with a dark luster in the sunset, but the east side of the Stone Fort was attacked by a disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect in the battle half a month ago, and a tooth was lost.

Chen Xun thought to himself that these huge stones they had mined from a hundred miles away this time should be enough to repair the corner of the collapsed Chifeng Castle, otherwise it would be difficult for him to continue to hide if he asked the overseer monk to toss around......

The stone castle is easy to repair, but the incomplete formation is difficult to complete.

In the face of the strong ** technique, even if it is three or five zhang thick, as strong as gold and iron, it will turn into powder in an instant, only a strong and complete formation, connected to the earth's vein aura, is the greatest reliance to resist strong enemies.

Chen Xun sat by the stream, swallowed all the wheat cakes in his stomach, and then walked to the Chifeng Fort opposite the stone stream.

Chifeng Castle has its own fort guards to cut the boulder, and then cast a spell to hang it to the gap, so that the boulder weighing tens of thousands of catties can be lifted to a height of more than ten meters above the ground without the need for bitter slaves.

This is not the situation of the monks guarding the fort showing compassion for the slaves, but actually preventing the slaves from seeing them mending the situation of the stone castle.

There are more than 800 bitter slaves, although most of them are mortals, but there are also many True Yang Realm cultivators who are imprisoned in Chifeng Castle as hard labor.

After Chen Xun, Su Tang and Qianlan separated from the bamboo forest in Canglan Nancheng, they sneaked from the secret passage to a warehouse that traveled to and from Yunzhou, hid in a pile of smelly leather goods, and went through hardships and dangers with the warehouse caravan before passing through Tushan and entering the territory of Yuanwu County in Yunzhou.

Compared to the Kui Long Tiantu that had been thrown out, Chen Xun knew that he was the biggest temptation to divert the attention of others.

On the one hand, he wants to leave some clues so that people with a heart can track him down and be sure that he is indeed fleeing with his treasure; on the other hand, he wants to escape from the land of right and wrong before his whereabouts are traced, so as to avoid really falling into the hands of people with a heart who cannot survive and die.

For more than a year, he has been constantly changing his place of residence and changing his identity in Yuanwu, Shangyuan, and Yunzhong Counties.

After almost confirming that the Su Clan, the Xuanhan Sect, the Yishan Sect, and the Qingyangzi who might be hiding in the shadows had completely turned their attention away from the Jade Pillar Peak, Chen Xun began to think of a way to truly hide and find a place to cultivate.

A year ago, when he encountered sand robbers plundering the village, Chen Xun blended into the villagers and was deliberately captured by the sand bandits, and then "fell into the grass" in the depths of the Wuteng Desert.

However, it has only been half a year since his career as a thief, and Chen Xun has just become a small leader of the sand thieves with his brave "True Yang Realm Sixfold" cultivation, and Wei Che, a true disciple of Qiyun Mountain, led the crowd into the depths of the desert.

Wei Che killed many big leaders of the sand thieves, but he failed to see through Chen Xun's disguise, and plundered Chen Xun and more than 100 other sand thieves and escorted them to Chifeng Fort as bitter slaves.

Chifeng Fort is located in an oasis in the northeast corner of the Sand Sea Desert, and the oasis has a spring gushing out to nourish the surrounding land within a radius of two or three miles, and is not eroded by the Sand Sea Desert.

The oasis is nearly two thousand miles away from Yunzhong County, and it is even more than three thousand miles away from the sect of Qiyun Mountain, but as the most important scale iron production area in Yunzhong County, Qiyun Mountain built Chifeng Fort here, and transported tens of millions of catties of scale iron ore to Yunzhong County for smelting every year.

Chen Xun is a kind of bitter slave with cultivation, Qiyun Mountain will not directly abolish their cultivation, but will cast a technique called the Servant Heart Fu to control it.

Whether it is digging in the pit or quarrying to repair the fort, Chen Xun, a loose cultivator who has three or five thousand catties of strength on his two arms, but does not pose a threat to the monks guarding the fort, is much easier to call than those skinny mortal slaves.

And the bitter slaves who were subjected to the enslavement technique, if they resist a little, only a very few will die extremely miserably, and more will not be able to survive and die.

Whether it is the Su family's soul searching technique, or the secret method of soul lock seal refining taught by Lao Kui, they all have something in common with the heart service. Although Chen Xun could refine the Servant Heart Talisman cast on him by Qiyun Mountain's subordinates at any time and leave quietly, there was really no better hiding place than Chifeng Castle.

Red Maple Valley is located in the middle of a desert in the sand sea, and no outsiders will walk here except for a convoy that runs once a month to haul the ore away.

In the eyes of the disciples of Qiyun Mountain and the monks guarding the fort, he was just forced to join the gang after being plundered by sand thieves, and he was captured by the disciples of Qiyun Mountain to act as a bitter slave.

And the six monks stationed in Chifeng Fort by Qiyun Mountain have cultivated to the highest level and are in the middle of the fetal realm, since Chen Xun is worried that Xingzang will be discovered, and at the same time believes that he wants to leave, no one in Chifeng Fort can stop him.

And another fundamental reason why Chen Xun was not in a hurry to get out of Chifeng Fort was that five years ago, there was an earthquake near Chifeng Fort.

After that earthquake, the nearby stone ridges all broke and collapsed, and at that time, the entire Qiyun Mountain sect was worried that the spring in Chifeng Fort would dry up - if there was no water source, the oasis would shrink and disappear, and it would be impossible to use mortal slaves to mine and quarry.

In fact, the worries of the Qiyun Mountain Sect were unnecessary, after the ground fog, not only did the ground spring of Chifeng Castle not dry up, but there was also spiritual energy pouring in from the depths of the earth with the spring water, and the ordinary earth spring became an extremely rare spiritual spring.

The aura that overflows between heaven and earth is still thin after all, but most of the spiritual veins and spiritual points in the world are called sect control zhì.

Chen Xun didn't leave, and he could even quietly use the spiritual energy that overflowed from the spiritual spring to cultivate and refine the spiritual veins at night, and at the same time, he also secretly studied the heart talisman cast by the disciples of Qiyun Mountain in his body, and corroborated it with the method of refining the soul lock seal, so that he had a deeper understanding of the Xuanyan recipe and the refining of the puppet.

Just over half a year after such a good day, it was broken by the raid of the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect on Chifeng Castle.

The reason why the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect raided Chifeng Castle was also because the matter of the Spirit Spring had spread.

After the earthquake, the earth spring did not dry up due to the fracture of the underground rock formation, but instead turned into an extremely rare spiritual spring, which means that the underground rock formation of Chifeng Fort is likely to contain a spiritual vein, at least a giant spiritual cave.

Chifeng Fort was originally located in the ambiguous area of the boundary between Yunzhong and Gushan counties, and in the past, Qiyun Mountain occupied the veins rich in scaly iron here, and the Thousand Swords Sect was full of opinions, and the disciples of the two sects fought for this death, killing and wounding nearly 100 people.

And the news that there may be spiritual veins hidden under Chifeng Castle, the Thousand Swords Sect is naturally even more unwilling to give up, and the two sects are even more tense to the point of being at the touch of a button.

In the end, it was the Thousand Swords Sect that took the lead, and suddenly dispatched half a month ago to attack many properties of Qiyun Mountain in Yunzhong County, and the men and horses who attacked Chifeng Castle were led by two strong people in the late stage of the rebirth realm.

After the current Lingquan, Qiyun Mountain quietly laid a defensive formation in Chifeng Fort with the help of Lingquan.

The monks guarding the fort used the defensive formation to defend for several days, and in the end, it was a disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect who returned to the late stage of the rebirth realm and sacrificed a bronze mirror-like magic weapon to blast open a corner of Chifeng Castle.

Fortunately, the Thousand Swords Sect's disciple was overwhelmed by the formation, so the Thousand Swords Sect had to retreat temporarily, and Chifeng Castle won the opportunity to breathe and ask for relief.

Chen Xun guessed that the disciples of Qiyun Mountain should know the enemy to the mountain gate as quickly as possible, but he didn't know if it was the strong man of Qiyun Mountain, who was restrained by the Thousand Swords Sect or other forces, in short, half a month passed, and Chen Xun didn't see Qiyun Mountain send a reinforcement over.

He was worried about these castle guarding monks in his heart, the next time the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect attacked again, how could Chifeng Castle not be broken?
