C544 The Impending Storm
Ling City!
This was a bustling and bustling, medium-sized city. It was located more than two hundred kilometers to the southwest of Taixiao City, and could be considered to be the largest neighbouring city around the Taixiao City.
In an antique teahouse.
Four ladies and a man sat around a square table. On the table, there were several plates of pastries and a pot of steaming hot tea.
"Oh, so delicious tea is delicious too. You guys should eat some too!" Hua Xue mumbled indistinctly while stuffing pastries into her mouth.
Zhi Shu and Nong Qi shook their heads helplessly. They joked and scolded her for being the reincarnation of a hungry ghost. No matter what, her appetite was always so good.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Fuqin turned her gaze to the young figure sitting on the inside.
At this moment, Chu Hen was carefully inspecting a map that was spread out on the table. The coordinates on the map were detailed, and it was a detailed explanation of the Taixiao City's diagram and text.
Chu Hen bought this half an hour ago from a shop.
"Yes sir!" Chu Hen replied softly without even raising his head.
Fuqin couldn't help but find it funny as she replied coldly, "Don't you think this is a waste of time? If you want to take down the Taixiao City, there's only one way is to return with us to the Kunliu Sect, and after you take over the position of sect master, you can do whatever you want. "
"I don't have that much time." Chu Hen's voice was still indifferent.
"How funny."
Fuqin sneered in disdain.
She admitted that Chu Hen was very strong, especially amongst his peers. He was even more outstanding, possessing extremely high talent and Cultivation.
But the Taixiao City's overall strength was at the upper tier of the second tier.
For such a power, there would at least be a 'Earth Profound Stage' expert present.
Just this person alone was enough to sweep away the 20,000 strong army that Chu Hen borrowed.
It was like hitting a rock with an egg and blocking a car with a mantis's arm. It was completely suicidal.
Previously, Fuqin thought that Chu Hen had been provoked, so on impulse, it became a fantasy. They did not expect Chu Hen to let Xi Lan go to Thousand Feather Sect Battlefield to request Yan Hanliu, and told Qi Teng to borrow five hundred million Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone so that Lu Qi could borrow twenty thousand troops.
What Chu Hen did made it harder for Fuqin and the others to understand.
"If I knew it would turn out like this, I would have chosen to chase after Sect Master Gongyang," Fuqin said with a hint of anger.
Nong Qi and Zhi Shu shook their heads helplessly.
Gongyang Yu had given both the 'Order of the Sect Leader' and 'Blue Ran Sword' to Chu Hen, which meant that he had tied them together with him.
In the absence of Gongyang Yu, they could only follow Chu Hen.
"I don't want to explain too much to you." Chu Hen finally raised his head and looked at the few of them. He said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You can wait for me in the city. If you believe my words, then please don't try to persuade me again for the next few days. "
"Make your choice!" Chu Hen paused for a moment and said.
Fuqin pursed her red lips and sighed. "Do we have any other choice?"
Nong Qi and Zhi Shu couldn't help but lower their heads. Hua Xue also stopped eating and drinking.
They had already left the Kunliu Sect for quite a few years, running into walls everywhere and going through countless hardships before finally finding Gongyang Yu. They did not expect their target to be Chu Hen.
She had thought that Chu Hen would be easier to deal with than Gongyang Yu.
Who would have thought that Chu Hen would make them feel even more helpless?
After it had quieted down, the chatter from the other tables became especially loud.
"I never thought that this year's Prefecture Grand Ceremony would be so chaotic, what a pity."
"Tongtian Sword Pavilion is none of our business. Speaking of which, before the competition, I was rather optimistic about the geniuses of our side. I never thought that I'd be defeated so miserably. "
"Yes, I heard Mu Yifeng's arm was broken by that guy called Chu Hen. That's f * cking cruel. It's said that old man Mu was furious and had been secretly searching for Chu Hen's whereabouts in order to take revenge on him!"
"Is this for real or not? Isn't that a bit inappropriate? The battles in the arena are all fated for life and death."
"Who cares if it's good or not. Now that all of the forces of the Prefecture are in such a mess, who would have time to care."
"You're right, now that the Tongtian Sword Pavilion has fallen, without this Overlord Sect to control it, all the surrounding forces would definitely be ready to make their move. This year looks like another eventful one. "
The busybodies around them were all chatting animatedly, their wine cups clinking together like the sounds of musical instruments.
Chu Hen acted as if he didn't hear it, and continued to ponder over the map in front of him.
Several days later.
At night!
On the summit of the mountain peak ten miles away from Ling City.
The sky was full of stars. The crescent moons were like hooks, and they were as sharp as a teenager's domineering aura.
Chu Hen was at the edge of the wall with his eyes closed. He was emitting a cold aura.
The four ladies of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting silently stood behind him. Each of them had their own thoughts, so they were all silent …
"They're here!" Nong Qi said in a low voice.
Just as she finished her sentence, several rays of light shot across the sky like shooting stars. Strong air currents were stirred up, and in the next moment, seven to eight young men and women steadily landed in front of Chu Hen and the group.
The people who came were none other than the Thousand Feather Sect group led by Xi Lan.
Compared to Qi Teng and Lu Qi, they were naturally the fastest.
"Chu Hen."
"Instructor, you're here."
Chu Hen smiled and looked at the few people beside Xi Lan. Aside from Yan Hanliu, even the Red Lotus had appeared.
Chu Hen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Xi Lan to invite so many Wu steelmakers who had already reached Spiritual Pattern Master's level.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Chu Hen, what orders do you have for you to gather us so urgently?" Yan Hanliu walked forward with a smile. "For you, Junior Sister Xi Lan has brought all the Wu Steel from our Thousand Feather Sect with you."
Chu Hen's heart warmed. He first looked at Xi Lan gratefully, then cupped his hands towards the crowd.
"Greetings senior brothers and sisters. For everyone to be able to come and help, Chu Hen will definitely remember this kindness in his heart."
"Senior Brother Chu Hen is too serious," a young man with a simple and honest appearance said. "Speaking of which, if it wasn't for you blocking that kid Lang Li of the Asura Sect during the disciple exam, I would have died long ago under that scoundrel's blade. "The moment I heard that senior sister Xi Lan said that she was here to help you, I agreed without even thinking about it."
Chu Hen suddenly realized something. No wonder the other person looked so familiar. It seemed like he was one of the disciples that he had casually saved before.
"Chu Hen, let's not talk about pleasantries." Red Lotus walked up and asked softly, "Why did you call us here? I heard from your teacher that it's because of Mengchang? "
After Chu Hen killed Lang Li, the relationship between Red Lotus and Xi Lan eased up quite a bit.
The hatred was long gone.
Chu Hen slightly nodded his head, his eyelids twitched as he said, "Everyone, I'll just say it directly, I want to take down the Taixiao City as soon as possible."
What?
The moment they heard this, two words appeared in everyone's minds – crazy!
Did you say something wrong? Or did I hear wrong?
The few of them looked at Chu Hen in astonishment. Xi Lan, who was at the side, also didn't have much of an expression on her face.
"Haha, Junior Brother Chu Hen, are your words really that shocking?" Yan Hanliu laughed.
Chu Hen replied calmly, "You do not need to participate in the battle. You can just help me arrange the Rune s."
Chu Hen's words once again stunned everyone.
They don't need to fight?
Who's going?
At this moment, everyone looked at Chu Hen weirdly.
What was going on in this guy's head? If not for the fact that Chu Hen defeated Young Master Blood and Xue He over ten days ago on Grand Meeting of Sword Ceremony, which made Young Master Blood and Xue He laugh, everyone would probably have turned around and left without thinking.
Just with the few of them wanting to take over Taixiao City, it was simply a pipe dream.
After a strange silence, Yan Hanliu asked first, "What do we need to do?"
Chu Hen's eyelids twitched. He saw decisiveness in Yan Hanliu's eyes.
Following that, Red Lotus raised her eyebrows, "Nasty Guy, I've said it before, if you dare to let Mengchang suffer, I will not go around you. Speak! How do you want us to help you? "
Immediately after, the other people's eyes became determined one after another.
For some reason, they seemed to see an invisible deterrence domineering aura from Chu Hen. This domineering aura made them willing to try to believe him.
The next day, Qi Teng came back.
Along with them were fifty Storage Ring. Every ring was stored with a hundred thousand High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone. This was the power of the Giant Rock Dynasty treasury.
A few days later, Lu Qi also came to join them.
Lu Qi looked worn out from the journey back and forth. When she handed the token to Chu Hen, she revealed a comfortable smile.
"I will not disappoint you. The twenty thousand elite soldiers are currently stationed at the 'Black Valley' located three hundred kilometers south of Taixiao City. They are ready to be deployed at any time."
"Thank you." Chu Hen nodded gratefully.
Twenty thousand troops?
Yan Hanliu and her group were both puzzled and surprised, could it be that Chu Hen wanted to rely on these twenty thousand troops to take over Taixiao City? It was really hard to imagine. In the eyes of ordinary people, a dynasty's army was indeed very powerful, but towards a power like Taixiao City, it was nothing at all …
Despite the doubts in their hearts, they still wanted to wait for Chu Hen to personally tell them what he was thinking.
"The terrain of the Black River Valley is very steep, avoiding the main road. It's a good place to hide." Chu Hen muttered.1
"It doesn't matter, many countries often train their soldiers and horses in the wilderness. Black River Valley is a deserted place, no one would suspect anything. " Lu Qi explained.
Chu Hen nodded.
Indeed, even if someone found out about this twenty thousand man Fog Wind Dynasty army, they wouldn't be connected to the Taixiao City in the same way.
Even if two hundred thousand came, no one would have thought that they were here to deal with Taixiao City and Mu Family.
Chu Hen raised his head and looked at the sea of trees in front of him. The silent atmosphere was like the omen of a storm. It was like a big storm was about to break out in the Hundred Kingdom Prefecture.
