405: The Demon Forbidden Land invites you into the trap (4 views, please vote for the monthly ticket)

The last time Chen Yuan saw this so-called Marquis Wenan, he maintained restraint and was wary of his existence, as he was deep within the Demon Forbidden Ground and it was not good to fall out with him, but he clearly drew a line in the sand.

Now, this person was not following the rules and was still following behind, which proved that he had ill intentions. Chen's trip carried the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and comrades. Chuanzhong Pass and Ninth Mountain had already begun to take action. If something went wrong at a critical moment, it would not be as simple as just his life, so there could be no mistakes.

Anyone who obstructed him or threatened him must be eliminated early!

As he spoke, Chen Yuan's eyes grew cold, and the temperature in the air dropped sharply.

The San Taibao in front of him, hearing these words and feeling Chen Yuan's undisguised killing intent, their expressions became serious.

Among them, Yu Qilin Jin Yu Mountain frowned slightly, took a small step forward, and spoke with a hint of solemnity,

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this boat was able to withstand a Dragon Tiger's attack before, and this person named Marquis Wenan was a Dragon Tiger mighty figure in his lifetime. This person is mysterious and unfathomable, and we should not expose ourselves now. Once we make a move, if we cannot eliminate the opponent in a short time, it will inevitably alert the great demons to spy on us, and then it will probably be even more troublesome." Jin Yu Mountain was not speaking dishearteningly, but analyzing the current situation, feeling that killing Marquis Wenan was not worth it.

Mad Saber Yuwen Guang was silent on the side, while Huyan Qing was a bit impatient,

"What Dragon Tiger mighty figure? This person doesn't have an ounce of Dragon Tiger demeanor. He's been sneaking behind us three. He must have some shady scheme. Fellow Daoist Chen has warned us, which means there's a reason to kill him."

After speaking, this burly Hunter turned to Chen Yuan, "However, what Fellow Daoist Jin said is not without reason. Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have a good plan to kill this guy?"

These words were direct. Chen Yuan's eyebrows moved. He rose from the bluestone and stepped down, his eyes slightly narrowed. "It's true that this person is mysterious and unfathomable, but have you ever thought, if he really had the ability, why did he keep the cabin door tightly shut and not show himself when we were first on the boat and even injured? Afterwards, why was he so sneaky? Why should he fear us?"

"Perhaps he was also injured, or rather, a wisp of his spirit wasn't enough to deter us four." He said this to dispel the Taisui Mountain Three Taibao's apprehension towards that ship, so as to persuade the three of them to act together.

As for these words, they were also based on his careful analysis, not just empty talk. The other party claimed to be a Dragon Tiger who had passed away more than two hundred years ago, leaving a wisp of his spirit in the world. He even suspected that these were just a facade released by the other party, and it might not even be the true master. Even if it was, what then? Having passed away for more than two hundred years and leaving a wisp of his spirit, how much strength could he still have? He was probably just barely clinging to life. One must know that the North Sea Dragon Girl in his Pot Heaven space, through their interactions and understanding, was very likely a Dragon Tiger before she was injured.

He had fought with a Dragon Tiger existence and had strong reinforcements, so he naturally had some confidence!

"Moreover, we few are already in a dangerous place. To fight our way out, we don't know how many risks we have to bear. This General has cast a spell and has already arranged for external troops to prepare for a response. There must be no mishaps, otherwise, it will not just be the lives of us four at stake. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and even the safety of the entire Sichuan region, could be implicated with us four. Therefore, This General absolutely will not allow any factors unfavorable to us to exist. This person must be killed, and killed with one blow, otherwise, if he is prepared next time, it will be difficult!"

When Chen Yuan said this, his tone was chilling, and his golden pupils slowly swept over the three, making them involuntarily startled and their breathing catch in their throats.

These words made them instantly feel the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and their hearts became heavy, completely awakening them. The hesitation and apprehension on their faces quickly faded.

Yes!

They were following Chen Yuan to find a way out, and the danger involved the soldiers of Sichuan. How could they falter at a critical moment?

Just listen to Fellow Daoist Chen, no hesitation allowed.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it!"

Huyan Qing's eyes turned fierce, and his tone was rough.

"I also want to see what's inside that boat."

Mad Saber Yuwen Guang also nodded.

Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan became serious, cupped his fists, "I'll listen to Fellow Daoist Chen."

"There's still one more problem to solve?"

"Where can we make a move without attracting the attention of demons?" As he spoke, his eyes shimmered as he looked at Chen Yuan. From his understanding of this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, the other party was meticulous in thought, as could be seen from the Fang Family Old Ancestor. This This General looked ten steps ahead for every step he took. When he made a certain decision, he must have already planned it out in advance.

"I suppose Fellow Daoist Chen must have a plan!"

Chen Yuan didn't speak, but simply raised his hand.

A wisp of golden flame emerged from his palm, then swirled up several feet high, transforming into golden sand, which formed a sand table above his palm.

The regional map of Ten Thousand Mountains thus emerged!

Chen Yuan's gaze fell on their current position, a red dot in the Southwest, at the junction of Yin Mountain and Xiao Ci Mountain. He pointed at one spot with his other hand.

Golden light immediately flared at that spot, surging upwards. In an instant, a shimmering projection appeared in the cave.

In the projection, a misty area filled with countless wind tornadoes, thousands of feet high, connected directly to the heavens and earth, a magnificent sight. And within this bizarre and beautiful scene, one could imagine the danger within the storm.

And within the mist, nothing could be seen clearly, and it was unknown what dangers were hidden within.

"Does Fellow Daoist Chen intend to ambush that person here?" Jin Yu Mountain looked at this projection, feeling the shocking scene and a vague sense of unease.

"What place is this?"

"It looks much more dangerous than the perilous place we stumbled into before."

Huyan Qing's eyebrows also twitched, a little surprised.

Chen Yuan's expression carried a hint of solemnity as he slowly spoke,

"This place, among the demons of Ten Thousand Mountains, is called 'Sin City'. The specific origin of this name is unknown, but according to the descriptions of previous sages, even the demons in the great mountains are unwilling to easily enter this place. It's easy to get lost, extremely dangerous, and one cannot go deep. There is also a kind of monster inside that is said to be very troublesome."

Chen Yuan informed the San Taibao about the intelligence regarding this place, including its dangers. As for the rumors within, stating that there were traces of living beings, Chen Yuan did not know if they were true or false, so he did not mention them.

Jin Yu Mountain and the other two couldn't help but show surprise on their faces when they heard this, "Since this place is dangerous, Fellow Daoist Chen intends to set up an ambush here?"

"Because there's no better choice!" Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, then said, "This place, which demons are unwilling to enter, can very well conceal our tracks. My troops will still need some time to send back accurate information, so this is a very good hiding place. Of course, Chen is not a reckless person; I will go and scout it out first before drawing conclusions. If it's feasible, we will only act on the periphery and not go deep. With our cultivation, it should not be a problem."

Saying that, he sneered,

"If the other party follows us, he will definitely come, and he might even think it plays right into his hands."

Jin Yu Mountain and the other two exchanged glances, thinking that Chen Yuan's logic was meticulous and it was a good plan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen has his own judgment. The three of us will follow. When do we set off?"

"Let's go now!"

"Perhaps by now, he has already followed us and is in some underground river below." Chen Yuan was never one to procrastinate. Knowing that someone was eyeing him felt like a thorn in his throat; he wouldn't feel comfortable until he got rid of them.

He flicked his sleeve, and the golden sand table in his hand was put away. Then, golden flames rose from his feet, enveloping the other three. With a whoosh, they transformed into a fiery tornado, breaking through the waterfall outside and soaring into the sky, heading Southwest. After a few flashes, the fire light dissipated, and the traces in the Void Realm quickly disappeared.

One day later, at a junction between Yin Mountain and Xiao Ci Mountain.

Unlike the vast green fields and competing mountains of Ten Thousand Mountains, this place was a thousand miles of red earth, barren and bare, with only faintly visible dry riverbeds, dead trees, and endless wind and sand.

As the strong winds blew, sand waves rose from the dunes, like golden wheat waves rolling, but as the yellow sand swept, occasionally revealing white beast bones, scattered sparsely across the yellow sand sea.

And deep within that desert, the scene was spectacular, a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth, with tornadoes connecting heaven and earth, seemingly capable of crushing all things. Some were several miles wide, a truly terrifying sight.

That was the true sea of death, devoid of any life. The surrounding desert was a trace left by those storms that had once raged!

At this moment, the scorching sun blazed here, and the hot sand blurred the air.

On a golden-yellow sand dune on the outskirts of the sand sea, a snow-white beast bone was half-buried beneath the yellow sand. In the empty eye sockets of its skull, a small, yellowish-brown lizard held its head up, motionless, like a statue. Its eyes, bulging on either side of its head, were closed, leaving only a tiny slit.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose out of nowhere on this sand dune. Then, the sand pile below began to move, and four streams of yellow sand swirled up, quickly condensing like sand forming a tower. The lizard, startled, immediately opened its eyes, then its four legs, like they had motors, scurried frantically down the sand dune below.

In an instant, a hand reached out, grabbed the scurrying little creature from a distance, and it flew back into the hand.

As the gaze followed the hand upwards, the swirling sand piles condensed into four figures, precisely the "Chicken Head Slayers" who had traveled according to the map!

Chen Yuan pinched the small lizard in his hand, took a look, and saw it was just an ordinary lizard. Then he casually tossed it away. The little creature, overly startled, immediately scurried away frantically, then burrowed under a patch of sand, disappearing without a trace.

"It seems this place is the right one. Along the way, there were basically no living creatures, and the Origin Qi here is extremely thin due to the windstorm. It's likely that demons don't reside here, which is convenient for us to hide." Chen Yuan clapped the sand from his hands, his eyes flickering slightly.

Jin Yu Mountain, Yuwen Guang, and Huyan Qing stood on either side of Chen Yuan, their heads slightly raised, looking into the distance with various expressions, but all with a hint of shock in their eyes.

In the distance, between heaven and earth, streaks of tornadoes connected heaven and earth, as if destroying the world. Dark clouds rolled, with lightning flashing within, and below was a dense fog.

Even from a hundred miles away, one could feel that terrifying power!

Even they, as Martial Cultivators, felt a slight chill down their spines.

No wonder this place was a Forbidden Ground for demons!

Chen Yuan also looked up, gazing into the distance. In his eyes, the distant storm, though frightening, was also an excellent place to hide and set an ambush.

"You all wait here first. Chen will go ahead and scout further, finding a good spot." Chen Yuan said, then with a movement of his feet, he transformed into a stream of light and went straight ahead.

After about half an incense stick of time, Chen Yuan returned.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, how was it?" Jin Yu Mountain and the other two asked.

"Chen just went sixty li ahead, reaching the outskirts of the storm. There, sharp winds like blades began to appear, as well as mists that could disrupt one's perception and vision, but these still don't pose a threat."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan waved his Kuntian Flying Sleeve, and three half-zhang tall, golden-edged, black-bottomed flags flew out from his sleeve.

These were precisely the main This General flags of his Ninth Mountain!

As these three main This General flags flew in front of Jin Yu Mountain and the other two, Chen Yuan then spoke, "These are my Ninth Mountain's Fashan Flags. Each of you will preside over one. Next, Chen will impart a Three Talents Dragon Trapping Formation. Please open your Mud Pills."

"At that time, with the two Formations superimposed, and the three of you holding down the fort, combined with me and the other two Fellow Daoists presiding over the killing Formation, I imagine it will be enough to give that guy a run for his money."

Don't forget, Chen Yuan possessed a Formation Divine Ability. He had passed this Divine Ability to his three Piaoji This Generals to lead troops in battle, but he himself rarely used it. Now, it came in handy.

This Three Talents Dragon Trapping Formation was also something he had quickly mastered, directly reaching a top-tier understanding.

Jin Yu Mountain and the other two nodded, first shaking their sleeves to put away the Fashan Flags in front of them, then sat down cross-legged and circulated their Qi. Chen Yuan directly formed sword-fingers, opened his third eye between his brows, activated his Dharma Eye, and shot out golden light, dividing it into three, injecting his top-tier understanding of the Three Talents Dragon Trapping Formation into their glabella.

The three grunted, quickly receiving this stream of information.

After about an hour, the San Taibao thoroughly grasped the parts of the Formation they were responsible for and successively opened their eyes. Given the complexity of this Formation, it would normally not be possible so quickly, but Chen Yuan had directly spoon-fed the information to the three of them.

"How are you three?"

Chen Yuan, who had been meditating nearby, also opened his eyes.

"This Formation is quite interesting. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Chen to be so proficient in even the Six Arts of Martial Dao. Impressive."

Jin Yu Mountain opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them. He bowed to Chen Yuan. His understanding of Chen Yuan had risen to a new level, and deep down, he felt admiration for this Zhonglang General.

After all, the Dao of Formations is profound and difficult to enter. This is even more challenging than the thresholds for Talisman Masters and Alchemists, requiring a vast amount of time and energy to master.

"Just a minor skill!" Chen Yuan nodded faintly, "Are you three ready?"

Jin Yu Mountain and the other two nodded.

"Then let's begin!"

A glint of light flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and then he led the three into the deeper parts of the desert, disappearing from sight.

Afterward, peace returned to the area.

Sand waves rose and fell, stars shifted, and time slowly passed.

From day to night, the sky was filled with brilliant stars, and the constellations shifted.

That night, a roar came from the place where they had disappeared.

Immediately followed by the sound of huge waves, and the mournful wailing of sails being blown by the wind. (End of this chapter)
