Talisman Emperor
Chapter 324 Guide
It was far from the Azure County City to the Capital, Silken City, which was 500,000 kilometers away.
If he were to execute Starsky Wings and fly at full power, then such a distance would only take three days of time to traverse.
But he didn't do it.
As the most terrifying assassination organization in the entire world, the forces of the Blacksun Pavilion were so large that even the Darchu Dynasty Royal Family was helpless against it and could only act as if they did not see the actions of the Blacksun Pavilion. Since they were targeting Chen Xi, they would definitely not ignore this.
It was even to the extent that Chen Xi suspected the sky between Azure County and Silken City of having a tight encirclement around it by the Blacksun Pavilion long ago. Once he opened his trail in the sky, he would definitely face the deadliest killing operation in the Blacksun Pavilion.
So for the sake of safety, Chen Xi decided to move ashore.
Although doing this caused the journey to be more than twice as slow, but compared to the sky where he had nowhere to hide, it was impossible, there was clearly more he could use to hide his tracks on land. Mountains, forests, rivers, cities .. If used well, they can perfectly hide their tracks.
There were several tens of cities between Azure County and Silken City, and the largest among them were Inkcloud City, Tracing Wood City, and Thunder City. Other cities are medium-scale cities.
Inkcloud City, Tracing Wood City, and Thunder City were like barriers surrounding Silken City in a semi-circular shape. Among them, Tracing Wood City was in the middle, Inkcloud City was in the east and close to the east sea, and Thunder City was in the west and bordered by the sea of thunder in the extreme west.
Due to these three cities, the route to Silken City from Azure County City was divided into three.
Among them, the Tracing Wood City route was the shortest and safest. There were many cities scattered along the way and there were no dangerous places, causing most of the people to choose this route.
The Inkcloud City route takes second place. The distance was twice the distance from the Wood City Tracing route, and it required driving around or passing through some dangerous rivers along the way. There were many people traveling on this route as well, but all of these were merchant groups as Inkcloud City was close to the eastern sea, and they could buy many rich precious treasures along the northeast.
The route of Thunder City was the most dangerous among the three, and it was dangerous to the extent that it had gone unused several hundred years ago, because no one wants to joke with their lives and set foot in them.
The reason for it being like this was that the route from Azure County City to Thunder City, and then to Silken City was practically filled with dangerous and terrifying mountain groups, ancient forests with raging demon beasts, and even more, the ground was extremely cold with a whistling storm of ice..All in all, this route was filled with dangers and more dangers, and practically had no safe place.
Several hundred years ago, there were still some cultivators who felt their strength was formidable and attempted to challenge their limits by setting foot onto this route that was filled with killing intent with every step. But in the end, none of them had survived, none of them having managed to arrive at Thunder City before entering Silken City. So from then onward, this route became unused and rarely did anyone dare step into it.
But there are exceptions too. When some of the ruthless and evil criminals wanted by the various sects were forced to the point of having no other way, they would set foot on this route as well, he said, and they rely on the various dangers in them to avoid arrest. This way, they could indeed avoid various pursuits against them. But doing this was actually no different from seeking death.
Because to this day, not a single fugitive has come out of it!
But all of this was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise for Chen Xi. As far as he was concerned, these places of extreme danger that were covered in killing intent were indeed extremely dangerous when crossing them, indeed, but it was precisely because of this that he would be able to take advantage of this danger to face the ambush that the Blacksun Pavilion had opposed.
In other words, this route was entirely a natural arena of life and death!
When fighting here, it was possible for any variable to appear, whereas he only had to use these variables properly, and it would not be impossible for him to completely destroy Blacksun's ambush.
So when he looked at these routes on the map, Chen Xi practically settled down on this route with a single glance, and he decided that he would depart from Azure County and travel directly to Silken City through Thunder City!
Half a month after the Goldlake Meeting ends.
On this day, the blue sky is cloudless as the beautiful sun illuminates the land from above. A Crimsonscale Treasured Wagon was pulled by the 13 Crimsonscale Unicorn as it left the Azure County City at lightning speed.
The Crimsonscale Treasured Wagon he rode was 300 meters long and about 30 meters wide, and was capable of accommodating over 100 people. This valuable wagon belonged to the Darchu Soulguard of the Darchu Dynasty, and was used primarily as a means of transportation to carry customers between cities. Not just cultivators, even ordinary people could drive it after paying a fee.
Supposedly, there was a type of large precious wagon, the Icemoon Precious Wagon, which was atop the Crimsonscale Precious Wagon. It was capable of accommodating 1,000 people, had extremely strong defensive power, and it was extremely comfortable. The only drawback is that it is relatively expensive. But this was not the reason Chen Xi did not choose the Icemoon Treasured Wagon. The real reason was that the procedures for ascending the Icemoon Treasured Wagon were extremely strict, and Chen Xi did not want to expose his tracks once he left Azure County City.
Although the defensive capabilities of the Crimsonscale Precious Wagon could only be considered normal, it had around 10 cultivators as guards. They were members of the Darchu Soulguard and represented the will of the Darchu Dynasty, so it was rare for any bandit to focus on the Crimsonscale Treasured Wagons.
After all, an action like this was the same as offending the dignity of the Darchu Empire, and if one dared to act in this way, he would suffer the retaliation of the forces of the Darchu Dynasty!
Of course, there is forever no shortage of desperate people who neglect their lives in this world. But fortunately, there was indeed not much wealth in the Crimsonscale Treasured Wagon, as the customers he brought were mostly poor people with empty pockets, so there were some bandits interested in him.
Chen Xi noticed that the guards of this Crimsonscale Precious Wagon were rather strong. All of them had experienced appearances and were quite capable, and their strength was roughly around the Golden Core Realm. With their presence, he would at least not have to worry about the safety of his journey before arriving at Firecrow Town.
Firecrow Town is 4,000 km from Azure County City. After getting off the carriage, he would be able to pass through the city of Firecrow and enter the Dark Forest. As long as he set foot into the Gloom Forest, it would be the same as stepping onto the route leading to Thunder City.
After he withdrew his gaze, Chen Xi slowly stretched his body, and he sensed that his Divine Sense energy had already almost recovered to its optimal state. Last night, he had just finished using all the talisman crafting materials he had bought. He had worked nonstop to finally make a seventh grade Precious Amulet right before dawn, and he had not delayed in the slightest to ascend the Crimsonscale Treasured Wagon without stopping in between.
"Sister, are you a cultivator?" The voice of an immature child was heard by his ears, and it was very soft. It was a boy of around six or seven years old in ordinary clothes who had a very ordinary appearance, and only his pair of eyes were pitch-black and bright. When he saw Chen Xi, his eyes carried a dense curiosity.
This is clearly an ordinary child. Moreover, his family's condition did not seem to be good, and it could be seen from the rough linen clothes he was wearing that were washed to white.
Chen Xi was stunned, then she nodded with a smile. He was able to see that the boy was a little nervous and seemed to be afraid of angering him. Perhaps in the youngster's heart, cultivators were definitely like heavenly beings that were high beyond reach, capable of commanding the winds and clouds, hovering in the sky, and all powerful.
In fact, the commoners were still the majority of people in this world. Comparatively, the number of cultivators was only a handful among the people in the world. They rise to work at dawn, return at night to sleep. They cannot escape age, disease, and death, and they cannot control their own destiny. Perhaps in a few tens of years later, they would turn into piles of soil, causing their lives to be like ants, short and ordinary.
But it was precisely these commoners who formed the boundless mortal world and the changes within it. After all was said and done, the cultivators were those who broke away and changed from the commoners.
So in Chen Xi's heart, the abnormal concept that the lives of commoners were worthless and could be trampled on would not exist.
Seemingly having been influenced by Chen Xi's smile, the boy's nervousness dispersed by more than half, and he took a deep breath before gathering the courage to ask. "Sister, can you teach me to cultivate?"
"Why do you want to cultivate?" Chen Xi flabbergasted. He would face an unprecedented ambush, so how could he possibly agree to the boy's request under such circumstances?
The boy said without thinking, “My younger brother's natural talent is better than mine, and he is cultivating in Southern Cross City right now. I fear that he will become a heavenly being in the future and I will not be able to see him again. I also want to cultivate. But unfortunately, my father said that my natural talent was bad and the wealth that my family had was not enough to allow me to cultivate as well, so .. ”When he spoke, so, the young man's expression was clearly very dim.
Chen Xi was stunned and speechless. He thought of himself and Chen Hao, he thought of the decision of his grandfather, Chen Tianli, and the only difference was that he had already walked on the path of cultivation, whereas the youngster before him had not taken this step. If he did not help the boy, then perhaps the boy would only be able to be like a stranger with his younger brother for the rest of his life.
Because a cultivator and a commoner were ultimately different.
"This is a qi repair cultivation technique. Hide it carefully yours and don't let anyone else realize it. If not, your life will be in danger. Make sure to remember this. "Chen Xi smiled. He had a stack of qi refinement cultivation techniques at his disposal, as they were all plundered from the corpses of his enemies, and he chose a simple and easy-to-understand basic cultivation technique before handing it over to the youngster.
The boy was stunned and never seemed to have imagined that the 'luck to be immortal' would come down so easily to him. After a long time, he recovered from his shock before hurriedly and carefully hiding the jade slip on his clothes, and then he said with an excited expression, "Sister …"
Chen Xi interrupted. “Don't thank me. Cultivating well, not only do you have to be strong in the future, you have to take good care of your little brother and your parents. Do you understand? Moreover, this is a secret between the two of us, and you should not let the second person know about it. ”
The boy nodded ferociously. “I will, don't worry, Brother. ”
Chen Xi smiled and did not speak any further because Chen Xi had already noticed that the boy's father had already woken up from his sleep, and he looked at Chen Xi suspiciously.
“We will arrive at Firecrow Town in 15 minutes. You're going there, right?
Chen Xi nodded, and she actually sensed that the expression of this guard carried a somewhat strange feeling.
“Firecrow Town? My god! Isn't that where the demons gather? ”Someone screams in shock. Moreover, along with shouts of shock, the customer sitting beside Chen Xi moved away as if they were avoiding a ferocious creature, and even the boy was hugged and carried away by his father.
Everyone looked at Chen Xi with gazes that carried traces of terror, suspicion, and hatred, and their gazes were unusual to the extreme.
Chen Xi instantly understood that Firecrow Town was not peaceful, and it was even very chaotic. Because it became the only entrance leading to the Dark Forest and also the entrance to the third route leading to Silken City from the Azure City, so there were a lot of cruel and evil bandits gathered there. The cultivators there were mostly wanted criminals in the Darchu Dynasty, and once they saw something was amiss, they would sneak into the Dark Forest to avoid the chase.
In the eyes of everyone in the outside world, Firecrow Town was naturally extremely chaotic, and it was simply a place belonging to the villains.
Clearly, the 'devil' that these commoners were talking about at this moment might be describing those bandits, and when they heard that Chen Xi wanted to go to Firecrow Town, he said, they obviously led him into this kind of person.
Soon, the Crimsonscale Treasured Wagon stopped, and Chen Xi immediately got out of the carriage.
"The devil is finally gone. ”
"How terrible! We were actually sitting on the same Crimsonscale Treasured Wagon as the demons. ”
"Yes. Supposedly, demons are able to take human form and love to eat human hearts. They are so scary to the extreme! ”
Chen Xi had just walked out of the carriage when everyone heaved a sigh of relief as if they were sending a plague god, and they began to discuss excitedly.
“Sister is not a demon! In my heart, Lin Hao, Big Brother is a true heavenly being, and I will definitely repay him in the future. "Only the boy was lying in the corner of the wagon window as he stared at Chen Xi's figure and seemed to want to list Chen Xi's appearance in his mind so that he wouldn't forget her all his life.
