Chapter 1309
Hunter's Castle bought these maps at a high price, but they didn't destroy them. Instead, they kept them.
These maps would be handed over to the people from Yanbo Castle when they arrived.
Huping City was still very peaceful. Only a few people knew about the appearance of the alien race in space.
The Domain realm was already recognized as an elite. It was divided into nine levels, which represented the growth of the Domain Realm.
The increase in each level was equivalent to a major realm under normal circumstances. Therefore, the difference in combat power between each level was not small.
In Huping City, the strongest person in the city was only at the sixth level of the Domain realm. This level of existence was already a high and mighty figure in the eyes of the world. However, in the Zhanwu Continent, this level of existence was very ordinary.
Therefore, this level of existence wasn't qualified to come into contact with the alien race in space.
To come into contact with the alien race, one had to be at least a sector lord.
Even Chen Wei, Shangguan Yinhong, and the others were only at the first level of the Domain realm, which was second only to the sector lord level.
They could barely come into contact with the alien race, but could only kill those who were severely injured.
Therefore, although the alien race was important, it didn't attract much attention from Huping City. Instead, some insiders had some ideas about the items left behind by the alien race after they died.
Wu Xie and the others were in seclusion. It seemed that they wouldn't come out until they had a breakthrough.
This time, they were so diligent because they were stimulated by Zi Chen's speed of improvement.
After Shangguan Hong found out that Zi Chen had a breakthrough, she went into seclusion. She was a very smart girl. Naturally, she knew that if she wanted to be with Zi Chen, she had to keep up with his pace.
Time passed. Huping City was very quiet. Hunter's Castle was also very quiet. It seemed that the next step was to wait for the people from Yanbo Castle to come.
Yanbo Castle was very far from Huping City. Even a Domain realm expert would need many years to make a round trip.
Three years passed very quickly. A huge flying boat landed outside Huping City.
The hunters of Huping City who had received the news came out to welcome them. The leader was Ming Zhu.
The flying boat of Yanbo Castle was painted with a ball of flame, which was very eye-catching. One figure after another jumped off the flying boat.
These people were all at the Corporeal realm, and they all wore the Yanbo Castle Hunter's Castle token. Their gazes swept around, and their expressions were very arrogant.
"I didn't expect so many realms to come." Behind Ming Zhu, Wade was very surprised when he saw the crowd.
"They probably want to re-explore the Hengduan Mountain Range. They brought so many realms with them. It seems that they have done a lot of homework before coming here." Ming Chu smiled faintly.
There were more than sixty people in the Corporeal Realm, and all of them were at the late stage of the Corporeal Realm. Judging from their arrogant demeanors, these sixty people should be the cream of the crop among their peers. It was enough to show off the strength of Yanbo Castle.
Another five figures landed behind the sixty Corporeal Realm experts. Unsurprisingly, all five of them were in the Domain Realm.
The five of them walked to the side after landing, and another figure landed. It was a middle-aged man wearing the flame armor unique to Yanbo Castle. His eyes were like lightning as he scanned the area before him.
Such a large group of people had long since alarmed the surrounding people. Everyone sensibly avoided this place.
"I am Ming Zhu from Huping City. How may I address you?" Ming Zhu led his people forward, then cupped his fists towards the middle-aged man.
"Yan Ming," the middle-aged man said faintly.
Ming Zhu smiled and said, "Everyone, you must be very tired from rushing all the way here. Come with me to the city to rest."
Yan Ming didn't refuse and nodded.
It was obvious that Yan Ming wasn't good with words, so a person named Chuan Xing took his place to talk to Ming Zhu. This person was quite tactful, and he talked cheerfully and wittily. The atmosphere was quite good.
Ming Zhu arranged for everyone to stay in Hunter's Castle. It was large enough, and the conditions and facilities were very good.
That night, other than Lord Wu, all the other stewards appeared to welcome Yan Ming.
During the banquet, Chuan Xing said, "Brother Ming Zhu, why don't I see those little heroes who killed the foreign races?"
As soon as he said this, the lively hall suddenly quieted down. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Ling Xing and the others thought that it was indeed here.
Ming Zhu smiled and said, "They are still in seclusion. The last time they almost died, it was a big blow to them."
Chuan Xing nodded, indicating that he understood. He then asked, "The news is not very clear. It only said that a few little heroes of the Corporeal Realm killed a foreign race, but we don't know how they did it. Can you tell us the details?"
"I don't know the details, but it is said that the foreign race's strength was suppressed to a certain extent. They worked together and barely managed to kill it," Ming Zhu said.
All the cultivators present nodded, but didn't continue to ask.
After three rounds of wine, Yan Ming, who rarely spoke, suddenly stood up. He picked up his wine cup and said to the stewards, "Everyone, the matter of the foreign races is very important. We can't be careless. I implore you to let those little heroes come out of seclusion. We need to verify some things. After all, the foreign races are very strong and cunning."
Ling Xing and the others glanced at each other. This time, it was Ling Xing who spoke. He nodded and said, "The foreign races are our biggest enemy. We can't be careless about this matter. Don't worry, I will inform the five of them and let them come out of seclusion quickly."
Since their goal was achieved, the atmosphere became much more cheerful. Ling Xing went to inform Zi Chen and the others.
Since Shang Guan Hong was in seclusion at home, he needed to inform her.
The next day, the five people who came out of seclusion gathered together.
"Zi Chen."
This was the first time they met since the last time they saw each other. When they saw Zi Chen, their faces were filled with joy.
Shang Guan Hong, in particular, was very excited. She almost jumped up and hugged Zi Chen.
Zi Chen looked at everyone and nodded. "It's nice to see you all again."
"Yes, we should be happy. Zi Chen, let's find a place and have a good drink," Man Shi said excitedly.
"Drink, drink, drink, all you know is drinking. I'm about to break through, but you called me out." Wu Xie complained unhappily.
"Who isn't about to break through?"
Dong Qing replied coldly. Then, he nodded at Zi Chen as a greeting.
Shang Guan Hong stood next to Zi Chen. The two of them were a little close.
"This time, I called you out because we might be in trouble." Zi Chen looked at everyone and said.
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?" Everyone was confused.
"People from Yanbo Castle came to ask about the details of how we killed the foreign races." Zi Chen was thinking about how to explain it to everyone.
"Let them ask. What kind of trouble is that?" Man Shi said unconcernedly.
Zi Chen looked at Man Shi and smiled. "Now, everyone, listen to me and follow my instructions."
Everyone nodded. They were already used to listening to Zi Chen.
"What happened was that we followed Huan Long all the way to the mission and encountered several powerful existences. These powerful existences were like checkpoints. We worked together to break through them. Among them, the Undying Wu Xie contributed the most. The final killing blow was all thanks to him. If anyone asks, just say the first half and don't say anything else."
Following Zi Chen's instructions, everyone nodded again. Wu Xie's face was filled with pride.
"Now, we'll tell the truth. We fell into Huan Long's illusion, but Wu Xie's eye technique helped us break the illusion. After that, we worked together to kill Huan Long's clone."
This point gave more credit to Wu Xie. Everything else was true.
"Then, the real body of the Mirage Dragon appeared. It was extremely powerful, comparable to the Domain Realm. Remember, it was comparable to the Domain Realm, not the real Domain Realm. We fought for a while, but we couldn't kill it. When our lives were in danger, several experts suddenly appeared. These experts used their own worlds to suppress the Mirage Dragon, sacrificing themselves. Then, the five of us joined forces to fight the Mirage Dragon."
"But when it was a matter of life and death, Huan Long suddenly released a big move. A black hole suddenly appeared, and you all escaped. Huan Long took me into the black hole, but when the black hole closed, you all heard a rumbling sound, as if the world had collapsed. Then, you heard an old voice shouting. After that, you couldn't hear anything."
Zi Chen warned, "What I've said is the main point. You must remember that after being suppressed, Huan Long's strength was at the late Corporeal realm. It was very difficult to kill him, especially his weapon. It was strange and extraordinary. But in the end, we worked together to destroy it because the weapon was made of energy. As for the wealth after Huan Long's clone died, just say that I took it. As for the reason, you can make it up as you wish."
"If they want to ask us what we obtained this time, just say that we didn't obtain anything. We only saw an empty world with almost no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Oh right, by the way, the formation used to seal the illusion dragon is the Forbidden Heaven and Earth."
Zi Chen carefully instructed for a long time. Everyone nodded continuously.
"Why would they ask us about our harvest? Could it be that they didn't come for the alien race?" Man Shi asked doubtfully.
"They should have come for the alien race, but we can't rule out the possibility that they want our harvest. Remember, no matter who asks, we didn't get anything. We almost lost our lives."
"But we did get something. Plus, I've already told Lord Wu and the others," Man Shi said again.
The others also nodded. It was obvious that they didn't intend to hide anything after returning. This simplicity made Zi Chen feel somewhat gratified.
"I naturally know this, but they will keep it a secret for us. So, you can't tell anyone that you got anything."
"What if they keep asking?" Man Shi asked unwillingly.
"If they insist, then you can use my foundation to justify yourself. Everyone has their own understanding of small matters, so it's normal for some parts to be wrong."
"But I can't think of anything," Man Shi scratched his head and asked again.
Zi Chen looked at Man Shi, smiled faintly and said, "Yours is very simple. If they ask you too much, just scratch your head and say that you don't know, or that you forgot."
Man Shi suddenly understood and said, "You want me to play dumb?"
