147: Black Wind Region

“Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t be polite about this captain position.”

The battle with Wang Jie would undoubtedly be a life-and-death struggle, extremely perilous.

Rather than relying on others, Lu Xingchen preferred to hold his fate in his own hands.

Therefore, he took the position of captain without any hesitation.

The five of them entered the Mission Hall together and, under the guidance of an Inner Sect Elder, accepted the mission, only then learning the exact whereabouts of Wang Jie.

It turned out that fellow had gone to the Black Wind Domain!

The Black Wind Domain is an area located between the Dragon Seeking Gate and the Cangxuan Sect’s jurisdiction, with barren land and scarce resources, so no common people settled there.

The two Sects also did not send personnel to manage it.

The Black Wind Domain thus became a haven for criminals, where various assassins, human traffickers, and people of the Evil Path roamed, exchanging information and resources.

After receiving the information, Lu Xingchen sighed softly and said in a deep voice, “So Wang Jie fled to the Black Wind Domain. No wonder the Sect couldn’t find him!”

Long Yang also looked solemn.

“The Black Wind Domain is a mixed bag, with no shortage of Martial King expert. We must be careful in our actions this time!”

Jiang E said with a smile, “What’s the big deal? We have Lu Xingchen, who possesses the Talent of a God of War. Venturing into the Black Wind Domain won’t be a problem.”

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile, “Senior Sister Jiang E, you really think highly of me. Since everyone is ready, let’s depart!”

With that, Lu Xingchen summoned the Nether Dragon.

Seeing Xiao You appear, aside from Jiang E, the other three were all greatly astonished.

“Holy cow, a fifth-tier Dragon Clan Demonic Beast? Junior Brother Lu, is this your mount?”

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, “Xiao You is not only my mount but also my close companion. Everyone, let’s go!”

The five of them jumped onto Xiao You’s back, its purplish-black wings spread, and they flew towards the Cangxuan Sect’s border.

After reaching the fifth-tier, Xiao You’s speed also increased significantly, and in less than half a day, they had flown to the western border of the Cangxuan Sect.

Immediately, everyone jumped off the Dragon’s back and walked into the Black Wind Domain.

As soon as they entered the Black Wind Domain, many men in black robes looked at the five with ill intent.

“These five people look like they’re rolling in money. What do you say, should we hit them up?”

“It’s not that easy. Looking at their attire, they seem to be Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect. We can’t afford to provoke them.”

“What if they are Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect? In our Black Wind Domain, it’s not about background, but strength. Even if we kill them, as long as we hide anywhere within the Dragon Seeking Gate’s jurisdiction, who can catch us?”

“That’s right! I’m already getting impatient!”

Those people discussed in normal speaking voices, completely unconcerned whether Lu Xingchen and the others could hear them.

Lu Xingchen couldn’t help but frown.

This Black Wind Domain was truly chaotic; even the identity of a Cangxuan Sect Disciple couldn’t suppress them.

He had to find an opportunity to display his strength, otherwise, it would probably be difficult even to find Wang Jie.

As Lu Xingchen thought this, an opportunity arose.

Before the five of them had even passed through the Black Wind Domain’s main entrance, a group of people rushed over and surrounded them.

Lu Xingchen looked at their heads; they were all Martial King expert, and the leader had even reached the Realm of a Five-Star Martial King.

The leader clapped his hands to dust them off, then walked towards Lu Xingchen with a ferocious expression, saying in a deep voice, “Kid, you’re Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect, aren’t you? For the sake of the Cangxuan Sect, I won’t kill you. Hand over your Storage Ring, and you can scram!”

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, looked at Long Yang, and said softly, “Senior Brother Long Yang, it’s up to you!”

Long Yang said in a deep voice, “No problem, leave it to me!”

With that, he took a step forward, activated his fighting Qi, fully displaying his Eight-Star Martial King Realm, and then struck out with a palm towards the leader.

The leader was greatly astonished and hurriedly mobilized his fighting Qi for defense.

But he couldn’t block Long Yang’s attack at all and was directly sent flying by a single palm, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood in the air before crashing heavily into a wall.

In an instant, the entire scene fell silent.

Lu Xingchen, meanwhile, took out the dawn bow, drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and pierced the leader’s chest with a single shot.

[Congratulations to the host for killing a Five-Star Martial King, gaining 50,000 experience points and 50,000 exchange points!]

The remaining people surrounding Lu Xingchen immediately threw down their weapons and fled in a panic.

The onlookers around also dared not remain idle, fleeing the intersection one after another, fearing that Long Yang might target them.

“Holy cow, an Eight-Star Martial King! That guy is too powerful!”

“I originally thought they were Outer Sect Disciple of the Cangxuan Sect. Now it seems they are top-tier existences even within the Inner Sect.”

“Only the experts of the Four Evil Sects could contend with that guy!”

“Good thing I didn’t make a move just now, otherwise, I’d be the one lying on the ground!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “As expected of a top expert ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking! Senior Brother Long Yang’s mere presence is enough to deter petty villains.”

Long Yang chuckled, “It was just a small diversion. I deliberately displayed my strength to make the people of the Black Wind Domain think that I am the strongest among the Cangxuan Sect Disciples this time, thus hiding Junior Brother Lu’s strength. At the critical moment, you can deliver a heavy blow to Wang Jie.”

Lu Xingchen nodded lightly and smiled, “Senior Brother Long Yang’s reaction is quite quick. By the way, the Sect told us to join forces with the Black Horn Sect’s experts to deal with Wang Jie. Where are they?”

Jiang E said softly, “They’re already here.”

Lu Xingchen and Long Yang looked forward together and saw a man in black robes walking towards them, with the words “Eight-Star Martial King” prominently displayed above his head.

In the Black Wind Domain, to have the strength of an Eight-Star Martial King, he should be one of the Four Evil Sects.

Although the Black Wind Domain was chaotic, four forces had spontaneously emerged to maintain order: the Black Horn Sect, the Black Dragon Sect, the Black Emperor Sect, and the Black Flame Sect, known as the Four Evil Sects.

Among them, the Black Flame Sect maintained the only auction house in the Black Wind Domain and was the most powerful, but it also remained neutral.

The remaining three Sects, however, were constantly in conflict.

Why did the Cangxuan Sect receive news related to Wang Jie?

It was because he had recently joined the Black Emperor Sect and had made several moves in the conflicts between the Black Emperor Sect and the Black Horn Sect, causing huge losses to the Black Horn Sect.

Only then did the Black Horn Sect investigate Wang Jie’s background, learn of his grievances with the Cangxuan Sect, and choose to notify the Cangxuan Sect, intending to use them as a borrowed knife to kill.

Lu Xingchen and the other four were the knives borrowed by the Black Horn Sect.

The newcomer cupped his hands to the five and said, “I am Han Feng, the Vice Sect Master of the Black Horn Sect. I am here specifically to welcome the experts of the Cangxuan Sect. Please follow me!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had seen this person in the crowd just now.

Han Feng had remained silent when the five were surrounded, only appearing after he had dealt with the Five-Star Martial King. Wasn’t he testing the five’s strength?

If the five couldn’t defeat the roadblockers, then Han Feng probably wouldn’t have bothered to speak to them.

Indeed, no matter when, strength always determines the right to speak!
