Chapter 63: The Super Big Fish
At dawn, in front of the gate of Heifengzhai Mountain, many people were already waiting.
This time, the elite of Qingyin Mountain, the most elite team under Xia Man's command in Heifeng Village, and the Heifeng Army, which had made great progress in the last trial. Originally, Xia Man's team was still led by Xia Ling. The Heifeng Army was led by Xia Ming. What remained were Xia Man of Ninghai Realm, Xia Lin, and Lü'er.
Although Xia Man was the strongest, he did not speak this time. This opportunity to increase prestige and gain experience was left to his own son.
Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Man had already recognized his son's strength. He was able to come up with a solution to the Black Wind Gang crisis as soon as he took office, and such a bold plan directly confronted the Jiang family.
The majestic figure of Xia Lin has long been deeply etched in people's minds.
To speed up, to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack, this time each person was equipped with a horse, and almost all of the hundreds of horses left in Hei Feng Zhai were taken out. Each of the Hei Feng Zhai disciples was now radiant and spirited, riding on their horses, waiting for the final order.
"This time, our target is the Yin-Yang Mountain, second only to our Black Wind Fortress. There may be casualties, so tell me, are you all prepared?" Xia Lin shouted at the sea of people in front of him.
"Ready!"
"Very well, let's go!" With Xia Lin's order, countless horseshoes sounded, and the whistling team rushed out.
"How did you bring Green along?" Xia Man said with some helplessness, "I know you like her, and Father doesn't stop you, but is it not excessive to bring a maid even when going out on an expedition? Of course, more importantly, Green would be safer in the mountain stronghold. You are now the master of the stronghold, after all, and should pay some attention to this."
"Don't worry, Father, I have a good sense of judgment. Besides, the current Green is not so easy to bully."
"Huh?" Xia Man suddenly lit up in front of her eyes and looked at Lü Er: "Could it be?"
Xia nodded slightly.
"Haha, that's good." Xia Man burst out laughing, "In that case, I won't bother with you guys anymore."
After laughing, Xia Man called out to Xia Ming and the two of them got on another horse carriage and left, leaving only one horse carriage behind. Xia Lin shook his head helplessly, took Lu'er onto the horse carriage, and followed closely behind.
Sun Zhong stood at the top of the mountain gate, took a deep breath, and gave the order: "Close the mountain gate! No one is allowed to open it until the leader returns!"
"Yes!"
"Rumble!"
The mountain gate of Heifeng Village slowly closed, and Sun Zhongyao looked at the team in the distance. The entire team, with the most abundant summer experience, rode horses outside, leading the team forward, with two horse-drawn carriages closely following behind. A few people sat inside the carriage not because they were lazy, but because they were cultivating inside the carriage and needed to conserve their energy and reserve their physical strength.
There's Old Village Master following us, this time the surprise attack will definitely be no problem. What I need to do is guard the mountain stronghold! Before Young Master returns, protect everything here.
A cold glint flashed in Sun Zhong's eyes as a series of defensive arrangements were made in secret.
A procession of hundreds of people rushed past Zhengyang Avenue, naturally causing countless movements and noises. For a time, all the families in Linjiang City who received the news were alarmed, recalling their disciples and preparing to defend themselves.
But by the time they reacted, this team had already left.
That afternoon, after walking on the main road, they arrived at this side of the road, and the team slowed down instead. Although they had been walking swiftly all along, no one could discover their ultimate goal, but years of fighting made Xia Ling know that the closer they got to their target, the more cautious they should be.
Xia Lin sat cross-legged inside the horse carriage, with Po Tian Jue circulating rapidly within his body.
No matter how weak he was when practicing as a cultivator, or how ordinary his innate talent was, as a cultivator and descendant of the Ancient Barbarian Deity, his physical innate talent was unparalleled! After just a few days of cultivation, the three birth blood apertures in his body had increased to ten.
"There are ninety-two more!" Xia Lin's mouth curled up slightly, "Without sufficient resources, the cultivation speed is much slower. This trip to Yin Yang Mountain is a great opportunity."
Splash!
A bright light flashed by, and Green also slowly opened her eyes, with an excited look on her face.
"How's it going? Made some progress?" Xia Lin asked with a smile.
"En." Lǜér nodded, happily saying: "This pattern is quite fun, after I carved some, my incantation power seems to have increased a bit, now it's already zero stage nine segments."
"Not bad, keep it up." Xia Lin said calmly. He had already become numb to Lu'er's talent. What others might achieve after months of hard work could be easily accomplished by Lu'er in just one night. Just like the innate advantages of a cultivator, Lu'er also had absolute talent as a reader.
While chatting happily with Lü'er, Xia Lin's ears suddenly moved slightly, and he seemed to hear some sounds.
Since the power of blood was thoroughly activated, Xia Lin's body has also become unprecedentedly powerful, and his five senses and six senses have all become even stronger than before!
"What's wrong, Master?" Green asked softly, seeing that Xia Lin's expression was off.
"Shh!"
Xia Lin placed his fingers in front of his mouth, let out a soft whistle, then closed his eyes, his ears listening lightly. A moment later, Xia Lin's eyes snapped open, a cold glint flashing across them.
Lifting the curtain of the horse carriage, there were disciples of Hei Feng Zhai all around. Xia Lin beckoned one to come over: "What's your name?"
The young brother's eyes shone brightly as he said respectfully: "He Yuan, you can call me Xiao He."
"En. Xiao He, go tell Xia Ling that there are some friends waiting on the mountain ahead, and there are quite a few of them, so he should be careful." Xia Lin said calmly.
Xiao He heard this and suddenly tensed up, hastily nodded his head, mounted his horse and galloped away into the distance.
Xia Lin looked into the distance, a hint of doubt in his eyes. How could there be so many people waiting for them in this desolate wilderness? Had...the news leaked out?!
"Lu'er, sit here and take care of yourself, I'll go see what these people are up to." Xia Lin said in a low voice.
Lu'er nodded, recited the protective spell, and automatically protected herself.
Xia Lin suddenly got up and walked out.
"Alas—"
Xia Ling suddenly pulled the horse to a stop and asked the little brother who had just walked by: "What did you just say?"
Xiao He's face turned serious: "The boss says that there are some friends waiting on the mountain ahead, and there are quite a few of them. Be careful."
"Is that the mountain ahead?" Xia Ling's eyes narrowed as he looked towards the mountain not far away, apparently thinking of the same question as Xia Lin. Had they been ambushed at this location? Could it be that the news had really leaked out?
"Hmph, whatever, let's take a look at the past."
Xia Ling coldly snorted, and instructed the people beside him: "Notify all disciples to be on guard, prepare for battle, don't reveal too much of a trace. I'd like to see what kind of person dares to be so bold."
A procession of hundreds moved slowly forward, and after walking about half a mile, when they reached the foot of that mountain, a mournful sound arose from all around.
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
Countless people rushed out from all around, surrounding the Black Wind Fortress disciples tightly. The number of these people was even greater than that of the Black Wind Fortress disciples, with at least over a thousand people!
"Has it really been leaked?" Xia Lin furrowed her brow, looking towards the opposite side, and from the crowd, a beautiful young woman walked out, swaying gently as she made her way to the front of the crowd.
Xia Lin's eyes widened slightly as if she had thought of something, a hint of a smile flashed across her lips, and if it was what he thought it was, then that would be interesting.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Xia Ling asked coldly.
"Hey, look at this guy, he's really going to make a big business out of it, huh? There are a lot of people. The young woman's eyes were rolling around in the crowd, seemingly looking for something, and then she muttered: "Not bad, the quality is pretty good this time."
"Huh?" Xia Ling looked at her with some confusion.
The beautiful young woman's smile was radiant, her eyes staring directly at Xia Ling: "This old brother, surrender and I won't kill you."
It feels quite strange in the summer. Looking around at the surrounding mountains, my face changed color. Among these people, half of them are women! Such a person... Could it be that they are from Yin Yang Mountain?
Xia Ling's face changed greatly, what's going on? A surge of anger rose to his head. He had come to conquer, but before he even reached the enemy's territory, he was blocked by the opponent. The news had been thoroughly understood by the opponent. If the opponent had really made preparations, then this time, they were in danger!
"Hey, looks like big brother has thought of something," the beautiful woman teased, "In that case, will you obediently follow us back?"
A murderous intent was lurking in Xia Ling's eyes, and suddenly she felt a movement beside her. She quickly turned her head to look, only to find that it was actually Xia Lin who had walked over.
"Master, it's not good! Our message has been leaked. The other party is from Yinyang Mountain and they've come specifically to intercept us. This time, we're probably done for. If things don't work out, we'll have no choice but to let the old master take action."
Xia Lin gently shook her head: "I specifically reminded Sun Zhong yesterday, no one will leak the message."
"But what about the other party?" Xia Ling asked in confusion.
Xia's mouth curved into a sly smile: "Ling Shu, you say, if the other party is just right, extremely coincidental, and runs into us, won't it become very interesting?"
Xia Ling was taken aback, suddenly raising his head to look at everyone present. His eyes swept over them with a hint of mystery, and his secret technique for probing began! In an instant, he clearly understood the strength of his opponents. However, after taking a glance, Xia Ling couldn't help but laugh and cry, turning his head to say to Xia Lin: "Young Master, you were indeed right. Their strength... averages at Tempering Body Fourth Layer, which isn't low, but compared to our people, there's still quite a distance."
"It's interesting to say," Xia Lin said with a smile, "If we start a war in the opponent's lair, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. But since they have shown up in batches, it's much easier."
"How about it? It seems this is the one in charge?" The young woman looked at Xia Lin and asked.
Xia Lin bowed his hands and smiled: "I've long heard that the disciples of Yinyang Mountain are beautiful beyond compare, I wonder if I may know the lovely name of this beautiful young lady?"
The young woman smiled slightly, "Yin Yang Mountain, Yao Nu."
"Miss Yao?"
Xia's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color, and Xia Ling exchanged a glance with him. They both saw the joyful color in each other's eyes. Was this just a coincidence or a super big fish?!
Yao Nu, the chieftain of Mount Yin-yang!
