Chapter 669

"There is indeed trouble, but since all of you are back, the trouble is no longer trouble." Wang Qiong's face was glowing.

"Oh, could it be that those big powers still have the ability to fly and sent an army to cause trouble again?" Zi Chen was very surprised.

Wang Qiong shook his head. "It's not a big power, but some of the small powers around us. I don't know if they have guessed that our main forces have all left, but they formed an alliance. After I took away the Dan essences, they kept attacking our resource veins. They have already lost one vein. It was the sixth vein, the one that Monk was guarding."

Zi Chen nodded his head upon hearing this. He did not show any extreme reaction on his face. He had already expected to lose the mineral vein when he returned. However, in his expectations, it should have been taken by a great power and not these insignificant people around him.

"Those insignificant things still dare to find trouble with our Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. I think they must be tired of living. I'll bring people to take back the mineral vein right now," the monk shouted with a furious expression.

After continuous battles, he no longer looked like a monk. Instead, he looked more like a bandit who did not drink at all.

"Everyone was in a tense state during the previous battles, and we did not relax much before returning. Let everyone rest for today, and we will move out tomorrow."

As they spoke, the group walked to the living room. Wu Liu and Hei Feng followed Zi Chen.

After returning to the living room and taking a seat, Wang Qiong asked impatiently, "How is the Savage Land?"

He had already heard about the chaos in the Savage Land from the Devil Ape. He also knew that the Heavenly Kill Alliance had invaded the Savage Land. He was worried, which was why he sent so many Dan essences there.

In his estimation, this battle would last at least half a year or even a year. Perhaps, Zi Chen would come back halfway to recruit more people. However, it had only been slightly more than two months, and Zi Chen had already returned with his people.

"Other than the Qin, Liu, and Wang families, there are no other big powers in the Savage Land. In two months, we conquered the entire Savage Land and unified it." Zi Chen's voice was filled with pride.

Many years later, this would be a glorious period of history. Zi Chen and his group were also epic figures who had created a glorious history. Such a battle record was indeed worthy of pride.

"That's great!"

After hearing the whole story, Wang Qiong's face lit up with excitement. "They're finally united. This way, there's hope for the barbarian lands to rise up."

"How's the construction of the encampment going?" Zi Chen asked.

"Lv Peng's sealing of the Spiritual Veins is nearing completion. With Old Mo's help, he has also successfully sealed those few large main veins. I estimate that it will take a few more days for it to be completely completed. As for those areas that need to be rebuilt, they are almost done. Now, all that is left is to wait for construction."

Wang Qiong briefly explained the situation of the encampment and the current situation of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion.

"In the battle in the barbarian lands, we lost a lot of Jindan essence. It's not easy for us to expand our forces now. As for the resource mines that we lost, the monk and the Devil Ape will take them down and guard them."

Zi Chen looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, rest for today. Tomorrow morning, Monk and the Demon Ape will set off. As for the rest of you, go back to your original mine and guard it. As for the allied powers, just give them a warning."

The next morning, Zi Chen, Wang Xian 'er, and Wang Qiong headed to the encampment of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion.

Wang Shan was overseeing the encampment. Other than that, there were more than a thousand Zhenkong cultivators who were building the encampment. Currently, they were just repairing the mountain peaks and cutting down the ancient trees. They had yet to truly build the encampment.

"Sister, Brother-in-law, why are you back?"

Wang Shan, who was in the air commanding a group of Zhenkong cultivators, felt the energy waves from afar. When he turned his head and saw Zi Chen, he was surprised.

"The matter over there has been settled, so we came over to take a look." The three of them approached.

"Settled? How did you settle it?"

"Of course, we unified them." Wang Xian 'er explained with a smile.

"Unified? What about our Wang Family?"

"Now, there are three forces left in the barbarian lands. If we were to compare the three forces, the Wang Family should be number one," Zi Chen said.

"Wow, then wouldn't our Wang Family be the overlord force in the barbarian lands?" Wang Shan was obviously excited.

Zi Chen nodded and asked, "Oh right, where's Lv Peng?"

"He's underground. Now, we have to lock down the main spiritual veins. It's no longer possible to set up the array above," Wang Shan said.

The Zhenkong cultivators were almost done with the construction of the mountain range that spanned over a hundred miles. Next was the construction of the main peak. After the main peak was completed, it would be time to open the pavilions on the four peaks beside it with the main and side halls.

Zi Chen observed carefully and imagined how the buildings would look like after they were completed. When he imagined the various forces coming to visit, he couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the ground, and a terrifying energy surged out. It was as if a peerless monster had been born. Under this aura, Zi Chen clearly felt a sense of danger, and his expression changed.

"Don't worry, this should be Lv Peng messing up the array again and triggering the energy of the underground spiritual veins," Wang Shan explained.

Sure enough, this terrifying energy dissipated as quickly as it came. The other Zhenkong cultivators seemed to be used to it.

"Although the underground spiritual veins have Elder Hiroshi's help, Lv Peng is still the main force. Elder Hiroshi intends to teach him the Dao of Arrays. This has happened dozens of times. Every time Elder Hiroshi comes up, he says that Lv Peng's attainments in arrays have improved a lot."

Not long after, another tremor came from underground. The previous energy surged again, and this repeated several times.

After the array was completed, Zi Chen clearly felt that the spiritual energy of the mountain with the main spiritual vein suddenly weakened a lot. This should be a sign that the spiritual vein was successfully sealed.

Sure enough, not long after, another loud noise came from underground. Lv Peng flew out. At this moment, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were tattered. He looked very miserable. Only his eyes were brighter. After seeing Zi Chen, his face was filled with joy.

"Zi Chen, you're back."

Zi Chen nodded and then greeted Elder Hiroshi behind Lv Peng. He then asked, "How is it here?"

"In a few more days, everything will be done. Other than the marked areas, we can start work on the other areas." Lv Peng's voice was filled with absolute confidence.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. You and Elder Hiroshi will make a trip to the Barbaric Land." Zi Chen said.

"Why are we going to the Barbaric Land? Oh right, how is the battle there? Why are you back?" Lv Peng asked.

"The battle has ended. I asked you to go there to completely seal the transportation array between the Heavenly Kill Alliance and the Heavenly Kill Pavilion." Zi Chen gave a brief explanation.

Lv Peng's face was filled with shock. It was unbelievable that they could conquer the Barbaric Land.

"This matter is a little urgent. Go back and wash up before leaving. Let the Spirit Devouring Rats lead the way. Longhu will be responsible for your safety. Go quickly and come back quickly."

After washing up, Lv Peng headed to the Barbaric Land. He carried the Taiji Diagram in his arms. Elder Hiroshi was in the middle, and the Spirit Devouring Rats and Longhu were escorting him along the way.

After inspecting the encampment, Zi Chen and the rest returned. After making some simple arrangements, Zi Chen locked himself in his room.

Next, he had to make plans for himself. He had to make preparations for the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation that had a slim chance of survival.

After two consecutive baptisms and using the blood essence of a true blood ancient beast, the effect of another baptism was not great. Now, if he wanted his Perfect Body to transform again, apart from raising his realm, he had to transform the blood in his body again.

It was naturally unrealistic to raise his realm. The only way was to transform his blood. Apart from the baptism, he had to refine the ancient beast blood essence.

This had to be refined bit by bit. He had to use the potential in the ancient beast blood essence to stimulate the potential of his Perfect Body's blood essence.

The requirement for blood essence could not be too high, but it could not be too low either. Therefore, he had to use blood essence of the same level. That was the blood essence of a pure-blooded ancient beast's descendant, such as a demonic leopard cub, a wolf cub, a groundhog, or a black rat.

Zi Chen took out a drop of glowing ancient beast blood essence and began refining it.

Outside the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's base, there were two mineral veins that belonged to Zi Chen. One had already been occupied, and the other was in danger.

At that moment, there were five to six Primordial Core cultivators standing in the sky. Behind them was a team of more than 055 people.

After several battles, they had beaten the cultivators in the mineral veins to the point that they did not dare appear. If this was an ordinary mineral vein, they would not mind directly collapsing the entire mineral vein. However, it seemed like this mineral vein was very rich in resources. It would be a pity if it collapsed.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards. How dare they claim to have defeated an overlord faction?"

"How dare they call themselves the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, the sixth overlord faction. With such cowards, I think it's more appropriate to call them the Barbarian Pavilion."

"It was founded by a bunch of barbarians. It's not an exaggeration to call them the Barbarian Pavilion."

The few Primordial Core cultivators in the lead mocked casually. Moments later, a Primordial Core cultivator said coldly, "Charge in and kill everything you see. Hehe …"

Before Primordial Core could finish his cold words, a strange sound came from his mouth.

The others turned their heads in puzzlement. However, when they saw Primordial Core's appearance, their faces were filled with shock. They saw that a sword had pierced through Primordial Core's throat at some point in time. That was how his voice was blocked.

Instantly, they looked behind the sword and saw a cold-looking young man in black clothes.

"You … You …" Seeing this young man who appeared out of nowhere, the group of Primordial Core cultivators were shocked.

However, in the next moment, the young man's figure disappeared like a phantom. Then, a soft sound came from beside them. The young man who had just disappeared had appeared behind the second Primordial Core cultivator. His sharp sword pierced through his throat again.

After killing two Primordial Core cultivators silently, the other Primordial Core cultivators were already filled with fear. As for the more than 055 Primordial Core cultivators behind them, they were even more shocked.

The young man did not speak, but the murderous intent on his face became even more intense. The sharp sword light flashed and the remaining Primordial Core cultivators fell one after another. After killing the Primordial Core cultivators, the young man charged towards the group of Primordial Core cultivators like a black bolt of lightning.

Moments later, the young man was the only one left in the sky.

At the same time, the monk and the Devil Ape also arrived at the sixth mineral vein. Then, the two of them rushed towards the mineral vein.
