The patriarch of the Gu Yuan Tribe had appeared again!
Many warriors in front of the ancient city were petrified. Their only thought was that Xiao Chen had gone mad.
Several months ago, in the battle in the Wasteland, Xiao Chen had single-handedly killed over ten thousand human soldiers. These soldiers that Xiao Chen had killed had come from many human combat divisions in Giant Rock Valley.
He had declared that he would only kill ten thousand people!
He had intimidated tens of thousands of combat masters into not daring to make the slightest move, and on top of that, he had humiliated the War Envoy of the Iron Hoof Division. In the end, the chief of the Iron Hoof Division had to summon the War Envoy using his destiny, but even so, he was still allowed to leave calmly.
In the eyes of all the human combat divisions in Giant Rock Valley, the Gu Yuan Tribe was like a rat crossing the street. After offending a middle-grade Iron Hoof Division, in their eyes, the Gu Yuan Tribe had already reached the end of the road of destruction. It was only a matter of time. But now, Xiao Chen had actually appeared in Duanmu City so openly. If this wasn't madness, then what was?!
Could it be that Xiao Chen was so powerful that he wasn't afraid of the encirclement of other combat divisions? This thought flashed through the eyes of the crowd. After offending the Iron Hoof Division, why didn't he go into hiding and live for a few more years? Wasn't this slapping the Iron Hoof Division's face?!
This was going to be a good show. Many tribes and rangers would definitely fight to make the Iron Hoof Division look at them differently!
The surrounding people continued to discuss. How could Xiao Chen not know what they were thinking? He lightly patted the head of the pegasus and walked out of the city gate.
Roar!
The pegasus seemed to have sensed the ridicule from the surrounding warriors. With a long roar, golden flames surged around its body. The scorching heat rose, and a powerful aura surged out. The surrounding warriors hurriedly avoided it.
An expert who could kill his way through tens of thousands of combat masters and even force the Iron Hoof Division's Battle Envoy was not someone they could afford to offend!
In Duanmu City, the straight bluestone road didn't change much. Both sides of the road were filled with human cultivators setting up stalls. Just like that, under the eyes of countless cultivators, Xiao Chen swaggered to the entrance of an average-sized shop in the city.
The shop appeared to be a little run-down. There was a huge piece of beast skin in front of the door, swaying in the wind. There was a simple and unadorned "Yuan" character on the beast skin. This was the place where Tie Wen and the others had settled down in the Giant Rock Valley.
When Xiao Chen found Tie Wen, he was feeding the Green-feathered Eagle in the backyard. This was the link between him and the Gu Yuan Tribe, so Tie Wen was very meticulous in feeding it.
"Patriarch!"
Xiao Chen's arrival made Tie Wen very excited. After all, his tribe had left their homes and migrated to the Great Wilderness. Even though he had stayed in the Boulder Valley for the sake of the overall situation, he was still very worried about his tribe.
Through the communication between the Green-feathered Eagle, Tie Wen already knew about the changes that had taken place in his tribe. If Xiao Chen hadn't personally passed the news to him, he wouldn't have believed it was true. He would have wanted to return to the tribe immediately.
Fortunately, the day had finally come. Xiao Chen's arrival was to put an end to the humiliation that Gu Yuan had suffered.
"Big Brother Tie, it's been hard on you!"
After all, they were brothers who had grown up together. In a short while, they became familiar with each other again. Tie Wen began to report to Xiao Chen all the news he had received in the past few months. After all, even though he had the Green-feathered Eagle to deliver the news, it wasn't very detailed.
"You're saying that the Iron Hoof Division didn't completely seal the Blood Race's Void Road, and there are signs of the Blood Race's revival!"
"Yes. In the past few months, the Iron Hoof Division has not only recruited tens of thousands of combat masters from Giant Rock Valley, but also from the other major regions under their jurisdiction!"
"There's a rumor in Giant Rock Valley that two of the Iron Hoof Division's Grand Supreme Elders died in the Blood Clan's battlefield. Even the Iron Hoof Division's Patriarch was seriously injured. I'm guessing that it's because of the Blood Clan's battlefield that the Iron Hoof Division's Grand Supreme Elders are too busy to care about our Guyuan Tribe!"
"Of course, this is only our guess. After all, the Iron Hoof City is too far away from here. With the strength left behind by the tribe, it's impossible to verify the truth of the matter!"
After a long while, Xiao Chen let out a long sigh of relief. Even if these rumors weren't true, so what? With the current strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe, there was no longer any need to fear the Iron Hoof Division. There were some debts that needed to be settled.
However, as a middle-rank combat division that could recruit vassal forces, it had already caught the attention of the upper echelons of the Human Race's Ancestral Court. Perhaps low-rank human combat divisions could attack each other, but the upper echelons of the Human Race forbade wars between middle-rank combat divisions.
However, for Xiao Chen, hatred was hatred. He didn't have the strength to disobey the orders of the upper echelons of the Human Race, but the Iron Hoof Division had to pay the price.
Moreover, Xiao Chen learned from Phoenix Feather's master, Luo Yunshan, that in order to become a middle-rank combat division, he needed to report to the Ancestral Court of the Human Race in the Desolate Border Region. Although the Ancestral Court of the Desolate Border Region had become an empty shell with only a few elders in seclusion all year round, there were still some steps that needed to be taken.
Advancing from a low-rank combat division to a middle-rank combat division was a change in status. The Ancestral Court of the Human Race would take them seriously, and they could even receive rewards from the Human Race's Ancestral Court.
"Summon all the brothers who are scattered outside. There's no need to hide anymore. In the future, hand over the shops in Duanmu City to my subordinates to collect resources for our Ancient Elemental Combat Division. In a few days, you will return to the tribe with me!"
When the Ancient Elemental Combat Division had migrated, they had left behind two teams of 100 soldiers to follow Tie Wen. In just a few months, there were only 47 soldiers left. The rest of the soldiers had either been killed by ferocious beasts in the Desolate Ancient Forest while searching for information, or died due to other reasons.
Currently, Tie Wen's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Mid-stage Blood Refining Realm, and he had only opened four Heaven Veins. He was far behind Huang Liang and the others, not to mention Shi Ya. Next, Xiao Chen gave Tie Wen a large number of medicinal pills and told him to cultivate as soon as possible. After he was done, they would return to the Fallen Dragon Territory together!
Two hours later.
Xiao Chen's figure appeared in front of a White Jade Tower.
Above the White Jade Tower, there was a black horizontal board engraved with bold and powerful words.
Four Way Pavilion.
At this moment, Xiao Chen already knew the origin of the Four Way Pavilion. It was the only Marquis Combat Division in the Desolate Border Region, and it was a vassal force under Marquis Baize.
The Baize Combat Division was suppressing a Ghost Clan's Void Road, and it was millions of miles away from the Giant Rock Valley. Xiao Chen could not help but sigh at the power of the Four Way Pavilion.
Back then, when Xiao Chen wanted to find a way to circulate his Qi and blood, he had obtained the cultivation method of the Purple Gold Battle Body with a piece of Primordial Stone. Although the old man had said that this was a rule left behind by the Purple Gold King, he still owed the Four Way Pavilion's shopkeeper a favor.
Without thinking too much, Xiao Chen stepped into the White Jade Tower.
Just like two years ago, in the simply-decorated White Jade Tower, an old man was resting with his eyes closed. It was the old man who had given him the Purple Gold Battle Body.
"It's you!"
When he saw Xiao Chen's figure clearly, the old man, who had his eyes closed, shot out two golden rays of light from his turbid eyes. He shouted in shock. Even at this moment, the aura on his body was a little out of control, and it was slightly overflowing with a violent aura.
"How is this possible?"
The old man had a deep impression of Xiao Chen. After all, the physical body was not known to the world, and few warriors would exchange for the secret method of cultivating the physical body.
Looking at the young man in front of him, the shock on the old man's face was difficult to let go. Two years ago, a little guy who was only at the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm appeared in front of him, and now his cultivation was enough to be on par with him.
Two years ago, he just felt that the young man in front of him had good talent, and it was impossible for him to have such strength today. It should be known that he had cultivated for hundreds of years to reach the third layer of the Heavenly Building Realm, but the young man in front of him only used two years to cross a great realm.
Even the Marquis Division behind Xiao Chen would find it hard to have such a cultivation speed. Only a strong Marquis Division or a disciple of a supreme Sovereign Division would have such a cultivation speed. However, Xiao Chen was not one of them.
"Greetings, senior!"
He bowed respectfully to the old man. In any case, the Purple-Gold Battle Physique that he obtained from the old man was a great help to him. Regardless of whether it was fighting against foreign races or fighting a life or death battle with other martial artists, it could be said that his strength had multiplied. Now, he had even condensed it into a martial arts divine ability.
"I'm old, I'm old, I really can't not admit defeat."
Finally, the old man waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Young man, I didn't expect you to become a Heavenly Building Realm warrior, it really surprised this old man, but there are not many items related to Heavenly Building Realm warriors in the Four Pavilions, unless it is in the headquarters, but the headquarters is too far away from here."
"Junior came here today to first thank senior for giving me the body secret method, and second to find a map of the Desolate Region."
The old man waved his hand, motioned Xiao Chen to sit on a wooden chair, and then said, "There is no need to thank me, it is just a normal transaction. This old man is also carrying out the last wishes of the ancestors of the Human Clan. Speaking of it, it is also an opportunity that belongs to you, otherwise the secret method would not have stayed in this old man's hands for decades."
"As for the map of the Desolate Region, I think you want to travel to the great wilderness. This is also good, you can only feel the majesty of the Human Realm after traveling thousands of miles!"
"The maps of the Desolate Region and several nearby regions are all here!"
With that, the old man waved his hand without hesitation, and a pile of some broken animal skin scrolls appeared on the counter.
Xiao Chen picked up the beast skin scrolls in front of him and checked them. He discovered that although they were called maps, they were merely simple markings of some mountains and rivers, as well as some dangerous places in the Desolate Wasteland. There were also some human tribes at the nodes.
Although these maps were rough, they were the most detailed maps in the Four Pavilions, and in the entire Giant Rock Valley, even if there was such a map, there was no other branch.
In the end, Xiao Chen bought all the maps with five thousand lower grade primordial stones, because he found that there were some maps about the Fallen Dragon Territory and the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range, which might be useful in the future.
