Incomplete Map
Zhuowen listened to Taoist Master Cang Long's voice quietly as he pondered. Roughly fifteen minutes later, Taoist Master Cang Long's voice came to an abrupt halt, while Zhuowen silently digested Taoist Master Cang Long's words.
The second layer was called the Pang World. There were a total of seven prefectures in the entire Pang World. The seven prefectures were extremely vast, even several times larger than the Qing Xuan Empire. Each of the seven prefectures had a core, and the master of each of the seven prefectures was the prefect. The prefect of each prefecture was extremely terrifying.
Within the seven prefectures, the forces were tangled and complicated. There were many sects and clans, but these forces were all below the prefectures. There were very few forces that could rival the prefectures. Of course, the Extreme Demon Sect back then was an exception.
The Extreme Demon Lord had forcefully reached the advanced Emperor realm with his own talent, becoming the strongest person in the Pang World. He possessed the strength to look down on the prefectures of the seven prefectures. Even the prefectures of the seven prefectures had no choice but to lower their heads to the Extreme Demon Lord. That was why the Extreme Demon Sect was so glorious back then.
"Find the ruins of the Extreme Demon Sect, learn the truth about the decline of the Extreme Demon Sect, and learn the whereabouts of the Extreme Demon Lord."
When Taoist Master Cang Long's voice gradually faded, the last sentence rang out in Zhuowen's mind again. Zhuowen knew that the last sentence should be the mission that Taoist Master Cang Long had given him.
"The Extreme Demon Sect and the Extreme Demon Lord?"
Zhuowen frowned slightly. This mission was not simple. The Extreme Demon Lord was an advanced Emperor. If he wanted to crush him, Zhuowen only needed to move a finger. However, he did not know why such a peerless expert had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
There had to be a hidden story behind this.
Looking at the scroll in his hand, Zhuowen knew that he had to accept this mission even if he did not want to. If he did not complete this mission, he could forget about leaving the Pang World. Moreover, once he completed the mission, the rewards would be extremely generous. He could even unlock more functions and places of the Azure Dragon Hall. Compared to the risks, the rewards this time would definitely be many times better than the first layer.
Zhuowen didn't directly open the scroll to look at the map inside. Instead, he smiled at the slightly nervous couple in front of him and said, "The two of you!
It just so happens that I'm also planning to go to Da Cang Prefecture. I wonder if the two of you can bring me along. "
Originally, when the couple saw Zhuo Wen deep in thought, their hearts were filled with apprehension. They thought that Zhuo Wen would kill them to silence them after obtaining the treasure map. The two of them revealed nervousness in their eyes and were secretly on guard.
However, at this moment, when Zhuowen spoke so courteously, it caused the originally nervous two people to secretly heave a sigh of relief. Among them, the sallow faced man revealed a rare smile and said, "Since young master is going the same way as us, we naturally don't mind bringing young master to the Great Cang Mansion."
Zhuowen nodded and asked casually, "Who is the man with the ghost mask?
Who sent him to kill you? "
"Young master, don't you know about the Ten Extremes Sect?" The woman with the hair in a bun asked somewhat strangely.
Zhuowen's expression didn't change. He smiled and said, "I'm just a carefree person. Previously, I was hidden in the mountains by my master to practice. Now, I've come out to practice, so I know very little about the outside world."
Hearing this, the couple revealed a relieved expression. They didn't doubt Zhuowen's words very much. The Panic World was very big. Hidden in the mountains, there were actually many warriors who didn't care about the outside world. Usually, there would occasionally be some young geniuses in the Panic World. Most of these young geniuses were unfamiliar faces and were also born in the mountains.
However, Zhuowen's strength was really terrifying. After all, the Tenth Extremes was an expert in the late stage of Heavenly Master. He couldn't even withstand one move from Zhuowen. They really didn't know what kind of existence the master behind this boy was to be able to teach such a terrifying disciple.
"The Ten Extremes Sect is actually a sect force in the Panic World. However, the Ten Extremes Sect is very different from other sects. That is, the Ten Extremes Sect is very mysterious. No one knows where its headquarters are.
Moreover, there are branches of the Ten Extremes Sect in the Seven Prefectures. Usually, they will accept some assassination missions entrusted by some warriors.
"The assassins of the Ten Extremes Sect have all been professionally trained. They are all very strong, and many of them are even able to defeat those who are stronger than them. They can kill those who are stronger than them with lower cultivation. This kind of sect specializes in doing shameful things for cultivators, and their success rate is very high."
Speaking of this, the couple revealed a slightly ugly expression. This time, if Zhuowen hadn't appeared, they would have been killed by the Tenth Extremes.
"The Ten Extremes Sect has ten experts, from the First Extremes to the Tenth Extremes. The one who was killed by you just now was the Tenth Extremes. His cultivation was around the late stage of Heavenly Master." The woman with the hair in a bun said to Zhuowen gratefully.
"Oh?
The late stage of Heavenly Master was only ranked Tenth. Then, the strength of the first nine is much stronger than the Tenth Extremes? "
Zhuowen didn't frown slightly. Instead, he was a little surprised by the strength of the Ten Extremes Sect. According to this trend, the Ten Extremes Sect was likely to have more than one Emperor Realm expert.
"You are right. The Ten Extremes Sect is divided according to strength. The higher the ranking, the stronger the strength. It is said that the First Extremes Sect's strength is truly terrifying. It seems that his cultivation has already broken through to the middle stage of Emperor Realm. This is also the fundamental reason why the Seven Prefectures didn't touch the Ten Extremes Sect despite the Ten Extremes Sect being so rampant in the Seven Prefectures," the woman with the hair in a bun said softly.
Hearing this, Zhuowen also nodded. According to the woman with the hair in a bun, the strength of the Seven Prefectures in the Panic World should be at the middle stage of Emperor Realm. If Emperor Realm warriors of this level collided, the power that could erupt would be extremely terrifying. In the end, it was likely that both sides would suffer.
In addition, the activities of the Ten Extremes Sect did not cause any losses to the Seven Prefectures. Therefore, the Seven Prefectures turned a blind eye to the Ten Extremes Sect.
The ship slowly sailed on the lake. In the process, Zhuowen learned a lot about the Panic World from the couple with the hair in a bun. He also learned the names of the couple.
The woman with the hair in a bun was called Zhang Xue, and the man with a slightly sallow complexion was called Ji Fang. The two of them were senior brother and sister, and their master was from the Greater One Sect. The Greater One Sect was a force second only to the Great Cang Prefecture. It was also the second largest force in the Great Cang Prefecture. The master of the Greater One Sect and the master of the Great Cang Prefecture were also old friends.
This time, they were going to the Great Cang Prefecture to visit the daughter of the master, Cang Die. Cang Die was once a disciple of the Greater One Sect, but she was sent by her father to the Greater One Sect to gain experience. She had only stayed in the Greater One Sect for a year.
However, when she was in the Greater One Sect, the relationship between Cang Die and Zhang Xue was very good. Although Zhang Xue was much older than Cang Die, Zhang Xue often took care of Cang Die, causing the latter to treat her like a sister.
It had been more than a year since Cang Die left the Greater One Sect. Zhang Xue also missed Cang Die very much, so this time, she hired a ship to go to the core city of the Great Cang Prefecture with her husband, Ji Fang. They also knew that the treasure map on them was a little hot, so they planned to give it to the master of the Great Cang Prefecture, Cang Jie.
However, the couple did not expect that the treasure map on them would be leaked out at some unknown time, and someone sent the Tenth Extremes to kill them with a large sum of money.
"You planned to give this scroll to the master of the Great Cang Prefecture, Cang Jie. Now that I have it, isn't it a little inappropriate?" Zhuowen said with a smile, but there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.
The Great Demon Sect's map was very important. Even if it was the master of the Great Cang Prefecture, who was a mid-level Emperor, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not have a trace of greed. If that was the case, then Zhuowen was afraid that he would be in danger. With his current strength, it was still a little difficult for him to resist a Fourth Layer Emperor, and the master of the Great Cang Prefecture, Cang Jie's strength might be above the Fourth Layer Emperor, and he might even reach the Fifth or Sixth Layer Emperor.
Therefore, Zhuowen was extremely afraid of this master of the Great World. If he fought with Cang Jie for the treasure map, it would undoubtedly end in failure.
Zhang Xue and Ji Fang also realized that they had said something wrong. The two of them quickly corrected themselves, "Young master, don't worry. We will never say that you have the treasure map."
Zhuowen sneered. His eyes flickered, and he muttered, "How about this!
I won't kill you. Give me a map of the Great Cang Prefecture, and then you can leave the ship. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. "
Hearing Zhuowen's words, the couple sighed in their hearts. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They knew that Zhuowen definitely did not trust them. However, this was pardonable. After all, they originally planned to give the treasure map to Cang Jie. If the two of them revealed the secret, then Zhuowen would be in a very passive position.
"Young master!
This is the most detailed map of the Great Cang Prefecture. Take it. "Zhang Xue handed over a slightly dim map to Zhuowen with both hands.
Zhuowen waved his hand and kept the map into his Spirit Ring. After that, he said indifferently, "You can leave now."
The couple nodded and cupped their hands towards Zhuowen. Soon after, they took a step and broke through the air, leaving the deck of the ship. At their level, the speed of flight was very fast. It was unknown how many times faster than the ship.
The couple only wanted to enjoy this rare and comfortable time, so they specially hired a ship and slowly headed towards the Great Cang Prefecture.
After the couple left, Zhuowen flicked his finger and took out two scrolls. One of the scrolls was naturally the map of the Great Cang Prefecture, and the other was the map of the Great Demon Sect Ruins.
After opening the two scrolls, Zhuowen casually glanced at them. With his current Mental Energy, it was easy for him to multitask.
After a while, Zhuowen roughly looked through the contents of the two scrolls. The couple did not lie to him. The map of the Great Cang Prefecture was indeed very detailed. With this map, Zhuowen would not get lost in the Great Cang Prefecture.
