Chapter 88: The Black Wind Arrives

  Wang Xuanyang didn't know that Weng Baoqi was keeping an eye on him at all times.

  The last time I meditated on Shen Xi Tai, the effect was not very ideal, and the hope of becoming a true disciple is extremely slim.

  Moreover, in the ranking war, he showed a terrible potential to Wang Xuanyang, and it had reached the point of killing him first.

  So after receiving the news that Wang Xuanyang had completed his task, Weng Buchi felt a sense of relief wash over him.

  Although the promotion test is imminent, he has completely abandoned his plan to take the promotion test.

  As long as Wang Xuan Yang is eliminated and his treasures and secrets are obtained, what's the harm in delaying participation for a year?

  Wang Xuanyang naturally did not know about Weng Baoqi's determination to kill him.

  After several days, Wang Xuan Yang made his preparations and left Wu Yan Zu Zong.

  To be on the safe side, he even consumed a shielding talisman.

  Now he has only one last shield charm left.

  His heart was bleeding at the loss of such an important talisman.

  Wang Xuanyang left after leaving Bu Yu Zong, and Weng Buzhi also took the task of Heifengdao and left Bu Yu Zong alone.

  Unfortunately, after he left the Not Speaking Sect, he lost track of Wang Xuan Yang.

  As for the tracking talisman he planted last time, it had long since become invalid.

  "Hmph, as long as you enter Black Wind Prairie and participate in the mission to annihilate the Black Wind Thieves, then you will definitely not be able to escape my palm."

  Weng Buqi's eyes were cold and stern.

  He rode his unicorn Qilin horse and galloped wildly towards Black Wind Prairie.

  What he didn't know was that at the moment he left, a sword shadow appeared in the void, vaguely visible, with a green robe fluttering, and a handsome and elegant figure, who was none other than Xingjian Sheng.

  "This little brat is indeed harboring evil intentions. Unfortunately, the teacher won't let me take action, I have to let my junior brother handle it himself. Otherwise, one sword would be enough to finish him off."

  Xing Jian was born with his back against the double-handed sword, floating in mid-air, with a hint of coldness on his face.

  Wang Xuanyang didn't know that after he told Fat Master Brother about the incident of chasing and killing Weng Baoqi, Fat Master Brother immediately reported it to Xing Jian Sheng.

  Wang Xuanyang went out on a mission this time. The master of the Heavenly Sword Peak, in order to secretly protect Wang Xuanyang, even sent Xing Jian Sheng to follow him secretly.

  Of course, this is just one aspect of it.

  "This time's Heifeng thief task seems to have changed, and the mysterious Heifeng old demon behind it appears to have a trace of Youling. So the teacher sent me to investigate, if there is really a Youling haunting, I, Xingjian Sheng, will slay the demon and eliminate the evil."

  Xing Jian's eyes flashed with a sharp sword light, carrying a dense killing intent.

  He is a generation of demon slayer, killing demons and eliminating evil spirits is his duty.

  Whoosh!

  He suddenly moved, a sword flashed, and disappeared into thin air.

  Heifengyuan, a thousand miles in circumference, belongs to the plain area, but has many deep gullies and ravines, with a rather strange landform. It is named after the black whirlwinds that often appear above Heifengyuan.

  It is said that these black whirlwinds all blew out from those deep gullies, and these black whirlwinds are quite terrifying, making the Black Wind Ridge a vast expanse of Gobi sand and gravel everywhere, although it can't be said that not an inch of grass grows, but it's also extremely desolate.

  However, the Black Wind Plains produce several rare and unusual minerals - black copper, black iron, and black gold. These minerals can be forged into various martial weapons, known as divine instruments of war, and even through special refining methods, their essence can be used as materials for crafting talismans.

  It is said that Heifeng thief's Heifeng seal was refined from these several ores.

  So the major city-state powers of Xuzhou, as well as the Fu Dao Zong sect, all attach great importance to this Heifengyuan.

  So on Heifengyuan, there are many cities existing and mining for ore.

  Wang Xuanyang rode the Unicorn Qilin Horse, and as soon as he stepped into the Black Wind Prairie, he felt a very strange feeling, gloomy and eerie, as if the heaven and earth spiritual energy in this space contained a negative flavor.

  "I've read some records about Heifengyuan in the library of Tiānjiàn Peak. It's said that in ancient times, Heifengyuan was a battlefield between humans and the Youling tribe. After the Youling were defeated, a powerful Youling king was sealed deep within the earth of Heifengyuan. I don't know if it's true or not, but Heifengyuan is special, it shouldn't be just an empty hole with wind."

  Wang Xuanyang's spiritual power swept out, as if entering a very gloomy environment.

  If the world outside Heifengyuan is a bright and sunny day, then even if there is sunlight in Heifengyuan, it still feels gloomy, as if there is a faint howling of dark wind by one's ear.

  Moreover, this land is extremely peculiar. Although it's a plain and plateau, it seems to have suffered devastating blows everywhere, with gullies and deep ravines all over the place.

  Moreover, some of the gorges are deep and bottomless, with dark winds blowing out from within.

  According to the records of the classics, the most terrifying thing on this Black Wind Ridge is the black whirlwind. Once you are caught in it, it is very dangerous and can blow a person into white bones. However, this black whirlwind does not exist everywhere, only in some special areas. As long as you don't enter them, there will be no danger.

  Wang Xuanyang had long since memorized the map of Heifengyuan, knowing where it was dangerous and where it was safe as if it were at his fingertips.

  Moreover, all the cities in Heifengyuan were built in safe areas.

  Wang Xuanyang walked for half a day in Heifengyuan before finally arriving at the nearest city.

  The city looks very simple, square and rectangular, all made of black stone.

  Thousands of meters away from the city, a huge open-pit mine can be seen, with miners bustling about like ants.

  This is a black copper mine.

  Such a city was entirely dependent on the black copper mine for its establishment.

  Living in the city is like being one of the countless miners.

  And around the black copper mine, there is a huge military camp.

  That is the army of the city-state forces, mainly to prevent other city-state forces from sneaking attacks, and also the Black Wind thieves.

  The Black Wind Thief frequently raids here mainly for its mineral resources.

  Wang Xuanyang entered the city without being intercepted, and the defending soldiers were extremely respectful. After all, the unicorn spirit horse he rode was extraordinary at first glance, and it was absolutely not an ordinary person.

  Inside the city walls is also very simple, but there are still shops that should be available.

  However, the city is quite deserted now, and most of the people walking around are armed warriors or symbol-bearing practitioners, often in groups of three to five, all of whom have come to participate in the extermination of the Black Wind Bandits.

  After all, it's now the time for miners to work, and there are only some family members of miners in the city.

  Wang Xuanyang didn't stay in the city for long, after eating and drinking his fill at a wine shop, he obtained some latest news about Heifeng thief from the official of the city, then prepared to leave here.

  He didn't dare stay for long, it would be troublesome if Weng Bobo arrived.

  According to official intelligence, five days ago, a group of Black Wind bandits raided Huoyun City, three hundred miles away. It's just a small city, directly under another city-state power, with three mines nearby.

  Due to the recent frequent black wind banditry, the major city-state forces have increased their defenses.

  However, they were no match for the Black Wind Thief.

  Just as he walked out of the city, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and a dull rumble like thunder gradually came from afar, getting louder and louder.

  Wooooo...

  A bleak and desolate bugle call also echoed through the air.

  In an instant, the entire city was thrown into chaos.

  In the distant military camp, countless troops surged out of their barracks. The originally bustling and prosperous mine site was completely chaotic, with countless miners rushing towards the city, but were soon intercepted by the army and organized.

  Wang Xuanyang had a sudden thought, and Heifeng Dao came to attack.

  What perfect timing!

  He hastily retreated back into the city.

  At this time, it's still better to be careful, with city walls defending, compared to confronting the Black Wind Thief head-on, it's much safer.

  On the city wall, many figures also appeared, all of whom were warriors and symbol users who had accepted the mission.

  Standing on the city wall, Wang Xuanyang gazed into the distance and finally made out the Black Wind Bandits.

  Like a black whirlwind, as if spreading from afar, a vast expanse of blackness.

  Moreover, these Black Wind Thieves were all dressed in black armor, with black masks on their helmets, and black cloaks fluttering behind them. They rode a kind of black wolf-like camel, from head to toe, just like a group of black killing gods.

  From a distance, one could already feel the cold murderous intent and ferocious aura of Hei Feng Dao.

  There were at least four or five hundred Black Wind Bandits.

  The troops guarding the mine were also elite, among them were warriors and low-level symbol users. However, when facing the Black Wind Bandits, they couldn't withstand a single blow and their camp was quickly breached, killing the defending soldiers who fled in all directions, with corpses scattered everywhere.

  Wang Xuanyang had never seen such a large-scale battle before, and he didn't know how many people had lost their lives.

  This is simply a slaughterhouse.

  He felt the cruelty of Heifengdao for the first time.

  No wonder the major city-state forces cannot counter the Black Wind Thief.

  There were thousands of defenders, yet they were easily defeated by a few hundred Black Wind bandits. The disparity was just too great.
