Chapter 1045

West Trench City

Hearing Bei Xuan's teasing words, Zhuowen only smiled faintly. He did not feel proud at all. His goal was not limited to the Outer Court, but the Nine Netherworld Realm. He wanted to explore a world that was even bigger than the Nine Netherworld Realm.

After chatting with Bei Xuan for a while, Zhuowen exchanged for some Arcane Technique manuals and instructions on how to refine Yuan Arrays. At the same time, he also exchanged for the materials needed to refine Yuan Arrays from Bei Xuan.

Zhuo Wen planned to spend some time practicing the method of refining origin formations. He planned to join the Arcana Tower and meet with Mu Feng. After all, only Mu Feng knew about the key to fusing the nine types of Earth Fire, the Thousandfold Fossil.

However, what made Zhuowen's heart ache was that everything related to Arcane Techniques required an exorbitant amount of Contribution Points. Zhuowen exchanged for some basic Arcane Techniques manuals, Yuan Array materials, and blueprints, which actually cost him a total of two hundred thousand Contribution Points.

In other words, all the contribution points that Zhuo Wen exchanged with the supreme-grade spirit stones were spent on the series of items that were refined by the arcane yuan array.

"Being an Arcane Master is indeed a money-burning profession!"

Zhuo Wen sighed softly and silently in his heart when he saw the number of 15,555 displayed on the Contribution Technique Table.

Originally, he planned to exchange for the Love Seal of the Seven Emotions Precious Seal. Unfortunately, he did not have enough Contribution Points on him. It seemed like he could only exchange for it next time.

Although Zhuowen could take out some supreme grade Spirit Stones to exchange for Contribution Points, Zhuowen had already taken out twenty supreme grade Spirit Stones. If he took out more supreme grade Spirit Stones now, it would definitely arouse Bei Xuan's suspicion.

Although Bei Xuan did not look like someone who would be tempted by wealth, Zhuowen did not want to take the risk.

After storing the Yuan Array materials and the Arcane Technique manuals into his Spirit Ring, Zhuowen bid farewell to Bei Xuan and left the Mission Hall.

Walking out of the Quest Hall, Zhuowen headed straight for the bamboo forest. Right now, he was rather concerned about whether Canaan, Mo Lingtian, and the others had completed their quests.

After returning to his residence in the bamboo forest, Zhuowen took out the Communication Jade Token for Jia Nan's group and sent a message. After which, he quietly waited at his own residence. He knew that Jia Nan's group would meet up at his residence once they returned to the Outer Academy.

After waiting for more than two hours, Zhuowen realized that Mo Lingtian, Canaan, and the others had not come.

"Hmm?

What's going on?

The time limit for Jia Nan and the others' mission is one month. Now, more than a month has passed. Logically speaking, regardless of whether the mission is a success or a failure, they should all return to the outer court. "

Sitting on a chair in the room, Zhuowen bent the fingers on his right hand and gently looked at the table beside him. An ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Finally, Zhuowen stood up and sent a few more messages into the Communication Jade Token. However, these messages were like mud sinking into the sea. There were no ripples at all. At this moment, Zhuowen's eyes were filled with coldness.

After which, Zhuowen took out another Communication Jade Token. This Communication Jade Token belonged to Cheng Dong from the Fragrant Ink Pavilion. After sending a message to Cheng Dong to confirm Cheng Dong's location, Zhuowen left his residence and flew towards Cheng Dong.

In a rather quiet and elegant courtyard, a man in snow-white clothes walked with a mysterious footwork. He held a sword in his right hand. As he took a step forward, the longsword in his hand changed. His swordsmanship and footwork merged into one. He was like a dancing butterfly.

Swoosh!

A figure suddenly flew over and landed in the courtyard. It was a black-robed young man. This young man was Zhuowen, who had just come out from the bamboo forest residence.

"Senior Cheng Dong!" Zhuowen cupped his hands and greeted politely.

The white-clothed man slowly came to a halt. He turned around with a warm smile hanging from the corners of his mouth. He stared at Zhuo Wen in an indifferent manner and said, "Junior Zhuo Wen, why have you come this time?"

"Senior Cheng Dong!

This time, I'm really sorry for bothering you. However, I have no choice but to ask for your help, "Zhuowen said solemnly.

Seeing Zhuowen's expression, the smile on Cheng Dong's face faded. He knew that Zhuowen must have encountered some kind of problem.

"Sit down and tell me slowly!" Cheng Dong said to Zhuowen with a smile.

Nodding his head, Zhuowen sat on a stone chair at the side and briefly explained the matter of Jia Nan, Mo Lingtian and the other two. Zhuowen planned to borrow the power of the Fragrant Ink Pavilion that Cheng Dong was in to find out where Jia Nan and the other two were.

Could it be that they had encountered danger during the mission?

"I see. Junior Zhuowen, please don't be impatient. As your senior, I will instruct the members of the Fragrant Ink Pavilion to check on the situation of your four friends."

Cheng Dong nodded his head solemnly. Soon after, he took out a jade talisman with his right hand and sent a message into it. Then, the jade talisman disappeared in mid-air along with the message.

"The members of the Fragrant Ink Pavilion should be able to find out about the situation of your four friends very soon." After doing this, Cheng Dong said with a smile.

Zhuowen nodded his head lightly and his heart calmed down slightly. As one of the four most powerful factions in the Outer Academy, the Fragrant Ink Pavilion's information gathering ability was naturally extremely powerful. Zhuowen could still trust them on this point.

Zhuowen and Cheng Dong sat opposite each other. They did not converse but instead silently waited for the information from the Fragrant Ink Pavilion.

Soon after, a ray of light swept over from the horizon and instantly arrived above Cheng Dong. Cheng Dong waved his right hand and instantly, the ray of light was sucked into his hand. Soon after, he silently checked the information within the ray of light.

Cheng Dong, who originally had a calm expression, suddenly frowned. Soon after, he glanced at Zhuowen and a trace of pondering appeared in his eyes.

Seeing the expression on Cheng Dong's face, Zhuowen's gaze turned slightly serious. A trace of an ominous feeling rose in his heart and he hurriedly asked: "Senior Cheng Dong!

What happened?

Where are Jia Nan and the other three now? "

"Brother Zhuo!

Just now, I received information from a member of the Fragrant Ink Pavilion. It is said that Jia Nan, Gatha and Xuan Xing were carrying out a mission in the West Path City in the North-West. However, during the mission, they unexpectedly had a conflict with the young master of the Xiao Yao Sect, the largest faction in the West Path City. It is said that the three of them killed the young master and are now wanted by the Xiao Yao Sect … "

At this point, Cheng Dong did not continue speaking. He knew that Zhuowen was a smart person and would definitely be able to guess what had happened next.

"Offended the Xiao Yao Sect?

Are they alright? "Zhuowen suddenly asked.

"Jia Nan and the others are not in any life-threatening danger. It is said that Gatha's Armor Spirit is very magical and actually helped them to avert danger many times. However, this has also angered the higher-ups of the Xiao Yao Sect. It is said that the master of the Xiao Yao Sect has come out of the mountain and wants to completely suppress the three of them." Cheng Dong continued.

"The master of the Xiao Yao Sect?

What is his cultivation level? "Zhuowen asked.

"He is at the peak of the Holy Master Realm and is very powerful!

Moreover, there are five elders in the Xiao Yao Sect who are at the Holy Master Realm. There are six Holy Masters in the Xiao Yao Sect. They are considered a tyrant in the North-West. "Cheng Dong explained.

"What about Mo Lingtian?" Zhuowen asked again.

"Mo Lingtian has completed his mission and returned. However, after hearing about the three of them, he left for the West Path City three days ago." Cheng Dong said unhurriedly.

Zhuowen nodded. There was a trace of anxiety in his heart. He cupped his hands at Cheng Dong and said, "Senior Cheng Dong!

Thank you very much for this time. I will not stay for long. I have to go to the West Path City. "

"Junior Brother, be careful. This time, it's mainly because the three of them killed the young master of the Xiao Yao Sect. The Outer Court is in the wrong. Although the higher-ups of the Outer Court knew that the three of them were being hunted, they did not lend a helping hand. This is the real reason."

"Therefore, the master of the Xiao Yao Sect will not hold back just because you are a student of the Excellent God Academy." Cheng Dong cautiously reminded Zhuowen.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior!"

Zhuowen cupped his hands and left the Outer Court. He directly flew towards the North-West direction. Zhuowen had already exchanged for the map of the entire Excellent God Island when he entered the academy. This was so that he would not be confused when doing missions in the future.

Looking at Zhuowen's departing figure, Cheng Dong's eyes revealed a trace of interest. He muttered in a low voice, "Junior Zhuowen's progress is really fast!

During the freshman assessment, he was only at the late stage of the Sovereign Realm. Now, it's only been two months and he has already reached the early stage of the Golden Sovereign Realm. His talent is really terrifying. "

The northwest area of Auspicious God Island was a desolate and uninhabited desert. In this desert, West Path City was the only place where people gathered. Many martial artists that passed by would basically come to West Path City to stay, replenish their rations, and water.

A figure instantly cut through the void and arrived at the gate of West Path City. It was a handsome young man with a cold gaze.

At this moment, most of the cultivators at the gate were wearing gauze hats and strange white robes. They held onto their horses and entered the city under the inspection of the gate guards.

"Why is the inspection of West Path City so strict recently?

It wasn't this strict in the past. "

"Don't you know?

It's said that the young master of the Xiao Yao Sect was killed. Now, the master of the Xiao Yao Sect is going crazy and is looking for the murderer everywhere. "

"What?

Who has the guts to actually kill the young master of the Xiao Yao Sect? Isn't that just courting death? "

"You don't know. It's said that the murderer came from the Excellent God Academy. Moreover, their cultivation isn't very high. It's said that they are only at the Xuanzun Realm level. However, among the three of them, two of them have armor souls that are not simple. They actually managed to escape the pursuit of the Xiao Yao Sect.

Moreover, because the three of them took the initiative to kill the young master of the Xiao Yao Sect, the Excellent God Academy doesn't plan to step in for the three of them. It can be said that they have given up on the three of them. "

The two cultivators standing in line in front of Zhuowen suddenly began to whisper. At the same time, their eyes swept around, afraid that someone would hear what they were saying.

Zhuowen, who was standing behind the two of them, frowned slightly. He knew the characters of Jia Nan and the other two. If no one provoked them, they would never attack or even kill. He always felt that there was something fishy about this.
