C1467 Yongzhou
At the river entrance.
Two figures slowly emerged. They were Lu Chen and Zhang Fenglia, who had lost the Han Powerful Family experts in pursuit.
"This is the entrance to the underground river. As long as we follow the flow of the water, we can leave the Black Wind Abyss in less than half a day."
Zhang Fenglia pointed at the underground river in front of them and said softly.
"Alright."
Lu Chen nodded. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "You can continue to stay in Black Wind Abyss.
The meaning in his words was to let Zhang Fenglia leave.
Hearing this, Zhang Fenglia did not leave for a long time. Instead, he revealed a thoughtful expression and said solemnly after a while, "If Young Master does not mind, I am willing to follow by Young Master's side."
As he said that, he knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Chen. His sincere look surprised Lu Chen.
"You don't want to be free again?" Lu Chen frowned and asked.
"Freedom?" Zhang Fenglia laughed bitterly and said: "How can there be any freedom in this dark and cloudless Black Wind Abyss."
"And if it wasn't for Young Master's help just now, I would have been killed by the Han Powerful Family's experts a long time ago. I am unable to repay this kindness."
"As long as Young Master doesn't mind that I'm weak, I'm very willing to follow by your side." With that, Zhang Fenglia bowed again.
He had already thought it through very clearly in his heart. Not only was Lu Chen's luck shocking, but his talent was also terrifying, as long as these people did not fall then their future achievements would be difficult to imagine. The most important thing was that even though Lu Chen did not give up on him in the face of danger just now, perhaps it was just a casual help for the former, but it actually made Zhang Fenglia's heart feel a rare sense of warmth.
"Forget it."
But if you are willing to follow me sincerely, there are some things that I have said first, things that you shouldn't ask, you should never be curious about. Also, as a person, I will reward you well, and you will naturally get what you deserve if you are loyal to me.
Lu Chen's gaze turned cold as he said in a deep tone.
"I understand."
"Please rest assured, Young Master."
Zhang Fenglia repeatedly promised that he would not have any ulterior motives.
"Alright, get up."
"If I'm not wrong, the demonic energy within your Black Wind Abyss caused your cultivation level to drop, and these things are enough to help you recover your true strength in a short period of time, so make good use of them and don't waste them. I don't want to have a follower who cannot take on too much responsibility."
With that, Lu Chen threw a Storage Ring finger towards Zhang Fenglia. Zhang Fenglia took it and after a while, revealed a look of joy. He kowtowed to Lu Chen three times and said excitedly: "Many thanks for the gift, Young Master."
Not only were there dozens of precious and peerless Pill in the Storage Ring fingers, there were also a large amount of cultivation resources. Any one of them would be enough to attract countless Martial Emperor Level experts, and it was enough for him to recover his peak cultivation in a short period of time.
"Let's go."
Lu Chen nodded slightly, and then walked towards the underground river. Zhang Fenglia put away his Storage Ring fingers and followed respectfully behind him. Compared to his previous expression and actions, he became much more respectful.
The underground river flowed in twists and turns, and after half a day of groping, the two finally left the Black Wind Abyss.
"Although young master, we have already left the Black Wind Abyss, I'm afraid there are still experts of the Han Powerful Family hiding in the surroundings. If we continue to stay here in this region, it would be extremely dangerous."
Zhang Fenglia looked around and warned in a deep tone.
"Where is the closest teleportation portal?"
"There's a teleportation portal in the Sea Cloud County, but it's tens of thousands of miles away from here." Zhang Fenglia said honestly after thinking for a while.2
"Let's go to the Sea Cloud County." Lu Chen's eyes lit up as he made his decision. He was prepared to head towards the Yongzhou, but Yongzhou and the east and west side of the border regions, even if it was a Martial Emperor cultivation level that traversed through the void, it would still take several months or even more. Along the way, there were still countless dangers, and the fastest way to reach the Yongzhou was through the large teleportation formation.
Right now, Lu Chen was already a Martial Emperor Expert, but the most urgent matter was not to deal with his Han Family or Han Powerful Family, but rather Gu Yiyi who was far away from his current Yongzhou. If he was a little slower, who knows if he would let Gu Yiyi truly join the Wei Family family under the pressure of his family, so he had to go and stop all of this.
Three days later.
Yongzhou, a certain ancient city.
In a restaurant, there was a clamor of voices. There were two figures, one old and one young, sitting near the window. They stood in stark contrast to the noisy atmosphere of the restaurant. The two were quiet, but most of the time, they used the corner of their eyes to survey their surroundings.
"Have you all heard?"
"The beautiful, jade-like young miss of the Gu family is preparing to be married to the one with the suspected divine body from the Wei Family sect in half a month's time."
"Tsk tsk … The Gu Family is truly blessed to be able to curry favor with one of the eight great clans' Wei Family. In the future, their position in the Yongzhou will rise greatly. "
"I heard that the young mistress of the Gu family is extremely talented and has broken through the Martial Emperor realm at such a young age. She is indeed a match for that direct grandson from the Wei Family."
… ….
Lu Chen's gaze turned complicated as the voice came from the next table. He held the wine cup in his hand and hung in the air.
"Young master..."
Ever since he heard the news of the marriage of the Gu family and Wei Family, he had noticed that his son was somewhat absent-minded. Could it be that the reason why he came to the Yongzhou from such a long distance away was not to avoid being hunted down by the Han Powerful Family, but to do it for the First Miss of the Gu family?
Although Zhang Fenglia had this guess in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of causing Lu Chen to be unhappy.
"Zhang."
"If I remember correctly, there is an old grudge between you and the Wei Family, right?" Lu Chen suddenly asked.
"Eh …."
"That's right."
Hearing Lu Chen mention it, Zhang, who was Zhang Fenglia, slowly continued: "Dozens of years ago, when I was wandering around the central region, I accidentally offended someone from the Wei Family. After that, I had no choice but to hide in the Black Wind Abyss to avoid being hunted."
"Yes."
Lu Chen nodded his head, and lightly tapped the table with his fingers, then continued to ask, "Then, how is the Wei Family compared to the Han Family?"
"This …"
After muttering to himself for a moment, Zhang slowly said: "With the Wu Li Family occupying Qingzhou, the Han Family has a great influence in the neighboring Liangzhou and Youzhou. As for Wei Family, it is an army that occupies the Yongzhou, and not only do the experts in the family appear one after another, they also control an extremely large army, sweeping across several prefectures without an opponent, so Wei Family is even more terrifying than the Han Family."
Zhang had once charged into the Central Region to face off against the eight great clans, the situation was much clearer than him. According to this, the Wei Family would be even more troublesome and difficult to deal with than the Han Family, if they wanted to help Gu Yiyi out of the predicament, it would be very difficult to avoid offending the Wei Family.
