940: Entering Jiaolong Valley

Seeing that the Linshan Country Royal Family's favored ones had no objections, Du Xingchen turned around and left Jiangshan City, heading towards the 16th Stronghold on the border.

Liangcai Sword and the other two had to go to Jiaolong Valley because there were opportunities specifically reserved for them there!

As for deciding to listen to Jiangshan and enter Jiaolong Valley with the Royal Family's favored ones, it was indeed because these people were strong enough to handle many troubles.

As Du Xingchen knew, among these people, there were two who possessed the strength of Six-Star Soul Card Masters!

With such a configuration, even among the tens of thousands of teams in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, they would rank among the top ten!

After all, they were the ace team of Linshan Country, the younger generation cultivated with all of the country's resources!

Thinking about things, after Du Xingchen walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, he suddenly saw General Great Wind standing like a wooden stake nearby.

"Great Wind, why haven't you sent me any news about Moyun these past two days?" Du Xingchen asked the Man doubtfully.

When he was looking for Jiangshan earlier, the first thing he did was ask him to send someone to monitor Moyun.

And the one who was in charge of the liaison was this General.

He reported the news well at first, but then there was no more news.

"Oh, Moyun has been locked up in prison these past few days, behaving very well. I didn't see any other information, so I didn't report it to you, Young Master."

"Locked up in prison?" Du Xingchen's eyelids twitched: "What happened?"

"Sigh, it's actually nothing much. It's just that a General under my command who was guarding the building got annoyed by those people impersonating the City Lord's relatives recently. It just so happened that Moyun ran into him, holding a token bought from a wholesale market and trying to claim kinship with the City Lord."

"The outcome, of course, was that he was treated the same as everyone else by the subordinates and was arrested and locked up."

"It was actually like this?" Du Xingchen's mouth twitched, somewhat speechless.

He wondered why there had been no news of the protagonist Moyun for several days, thinking this guy was hiding somewhere to develop and make a comeback as a King!

He was a little worried when he thought of this protagonist just now, but he didn't expect him to be locked in prison, forced offline?!

This operation, could it be the System's doing?

"What about now?"

"He was just released not long ago, the time he was locked up was about right," Great Wind said casually.

Hearing this, Du Xingchen secretly felt it was a pity.

If he could continue to keep Moyun locked up at this critical juncture, that would have been great.

However, he also knew it was unlikely.

Just the fact that the Goddess had Hemp Robe Supreme as a trump card behind her made it impossible for such a situation to occur.

It seems unavoidable to meet Moyun during this trip to Jiaolong Valley.

He also didn't know what kind of gains the protagonist would have on this trip without the Treasure Hunting Plate.

After chatting with Great Wind for a few more sentences, Du Xingchen walked out of Jiangshan City.

The border was still filled with wind and sand.

The strongholds were also sparsely populated, and the cold wind made people unwilling to go out.

Most people gathered in the various inns and entertainment venues in the strongholds.

When Du Xingchen arrived at the inn in the 16th Stronghold, the noisy environment was even more intense than the previous days. Every table on the first floor was full of people, and the waiter serving dishes was as busy as a top.

In this crowded and lively environment, Du Xingchen, as expected, saw his three teammates, Liangcai Sword.

During the three days of getting along, their recognition of him had increased too much.

Even Qing Youyu, the woman who was determined to rescue Wen Xiucheng, did not leave alone during this time.

Everyone had listened to the note Du Xingchen left, and they had been in the inn during this time.

"Captain, where did you go all day today? I thought you wouldn't be back tonight." After seeing Du Xingchen, Liangcai Sword's cautious expression towards the surroundings visibly relaxed a lot.

"I went to experiment with new things, it took a little time," Du Xingchen explained casually.

"Why are you here? Haven't you eaten?" Seeing the group sitting at a dining table on the first floor of the inn, Du Xingchen said casually.

"What eating, we're here to gather information!" Liangcai Sword lowered his voice slightly, and at the same time motioned for Du Xingchen to sit with them.

"Isn't Jiaolong Valley opening tomorrow? So many people under twenty years old have come!" Saying this, Liangcai Sword raised his head towards the first floor of the inn in front of him, indicating that all these people had gathered because of the Jiaolong Valley matter.

Finally, Liangcai Sword subtly pointed to the corner by the window on the northwest side of the inn.

There were a few young men and women who were eating heartily.

These people were well-dressed, but they ate without any regard for appearances, straddling the long benches like beasts devouring cattle and sheep alive, with fierce expressions.

"Looking at their School uniforms, these people must be Students from Man Bear Academy in the neighboring Qianhai Country!"

"Man Bear Academy, that's an academy ranked in the top three in Qianhai Country. The Cultivation resources are much stronger than our academy, I don't know how much. Looking at their strength, each of them is in the Late Stage of Four-Star Soul Card Master. Will all the good things in Jiaolong Valley be taken by them?!" Liangcai Sword's words were full of envy.

Qing Youyu, who was standing next to him with her arms crossed, casually added, "This is just the second team of Man Bear Academy. It is said that most of their first team are already at the Five-Star Soul Card Master level, and they are completely uninterested in the scraps in Jiaolong Valley."

Du Xingchen also looked towards that table of young people, following their gazes.

Man Bear Academy was indeed a relatively strong opponent.

It's just that they didn't know about the Divine Inheritance in Jiaolong Valley, otherwise it wouldn't be the second team that came.

"And that one over there." Liangcai Sword's topic jumped quickly, and he turned his head to point to the other side of the noisy crowd: "Those people are from You Xue Academy, one of the ten top academies in our Linshan Country! It looks like the Captain has even reached the Five-Star Soul Card Master level!"

"We've seen quite a few people of this caliber today. Roughly speaking, there are at least dozens of them! Plus more stragglers and individuals, there are at least several thousand people under twenty years old who want to enter Jiaolong Valley! Captain, with so many people competing, do we really have to enter Jiaolong Valley?!"

The topic still came back to Jiaolong Valley.

Du Xingchen nodded: "Of course we have to go in. Jiaolong Valley opens once every eighty years. Since we've run into it, there's no reason not to go."

"Besides, huan ling grass is very likely also in Jiaolong Valley. Ning Bing is waiting for this medicine. Just for this point alone, we can't not go."

Upon receiving this answer, Liangcai Sword didn't say anything more.

Actually, he preferred to continue the life of hunting and taking pills like the previous days.

That feeling of steady physical strength improvement was much more attractive than Jiaolong Valley.

However, since Du Xingchen had already spoken, he could only put away his thoughts.

"Let's go. Since everyone has no objections, let's set off for Jiaolong Valley now. This trip is also to pick you up to go there." Du Xingchen looked at the time, didn't delay, got up and said.

"Go now? Isn't Jiaolong Valley only opening tomorrow?" Sun Yingying asked for the other two in confusion.

"If we really wait until it opens tomorrow, the good things inside will probably be gone by then." Du Xingchen said in a low voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight towards outside the house.

Liangcai Sword and the others followed with some doubts.

Not long after.

Du Xingchen brought Liangcai Sword and the others to a Desert area.

This area was already gathered with the favored ones of the Linshan Country Royal Family early on.

"The speed is quite fast, you didn't wait until Jiaolong Valley opened to come." The Huang Fa Nü, who spoke the most among the seven, said, her gaze also looking at the people behind Du Xingchen.

Upon seeing Sun Yingying, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "The Saint Healing Sect's Young Master?"

"Oh? An old face." Another voice appeared among the seven.

Saint Healing Sect belonged to a large sect and also had dealings with the Lin Country Royal Family. These favored ones of the Royal Family were considered familiar.

However, there were no significant emotional fluctuations.

A bald Man walked out from among the group and looked at Du Xingchen: "After entering, do you want to follow us to search for treasures and have us protect you at all times, or do you want to search for treasures separately and each keep a distress signal token?"

"Let's keep a token. If we encounter a situation we can't handle, we'll ask for help from you through the token." Du Xingchen explained the idea he had planned early on.

Going to Jiaolong Valley, he needed the strength of these people for protection, but only for support.

If he followed the team, the restrictions would be too great, and he wouldn't even be able to take out the Treasure Hunting Plate in front of these people.

"Don't go to the Dragon Head area of Jiaolong Valley, it's too dangerous, it's not something you can get involved in." The bald Man threw out a communication token and kindly reminded them.

After a slight silence between the two sides.

A powerful Soul Card force suddenly acted on this void from the sky!

If you looked up, you could see that this was the method of Miao Gouer, the Grand Sage Master!

Jiaolong Valley was said to open tomorrow.

But in reality, some forces that possessed the technology could completely send the young people within their respective forces in advance the day before!

This was also the main reason why the talented Disciples of most forces couldn't find anything good after Jiaolong Valley opened each time, because most of the good things were already collected by the young Disciples of the major forces the day before.

Opening the passage to enter Jiaolong Valley in advance, the same thing was happening in other areas of the Outer Domain.

Divine Hall, Demon Hall.

The younger generation of these two forces also stood in front of their respective passages to enter Jiaolong Valley.

"Fortunately, the first team didn't come, the Divine Inheritance here should be ours!" At the entrance of the opened passage, eight young men and women in white and gold clothing, with relaxed postures, yet subtly revealing nobility, were in a good mood.

"The first team wouldn't be interested in this Divine Inheritance. They should be receiving better resources now, it's really enviable and frustrating." Among the team, a woman's tone was cold, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Alright, the Demon Hall, the Linshan Country Royal Family, and that group of mysterious favored ones from overseas will also enter this time. You little ones have quite a few competitors, don't be careless."

"Also, the Goddess will also enter Jiaolong Valley. The first thing you do after getting inside is to meet up with the Goddess and ensure her safety, understand?"

Above the void where the eight young men and women in white and gold clothing were, there was a loud-voiced Old Man.

The Old Man was wearing the luxurious clothing of the Divine Hall's followers, and on the edge of his clothes, nine eye-catching golden feathers shone brilliantly in The Black Night!

"Yes, Teacher Ma Yi." These young people, after hearing the White-Haired Old Man speak, restrained their emotions and said respectfully.

However, a hint of surprise and excitement arose in their hearts, the Goddess actually came too?!

...

On the other side of the Desert.

In the cold wind and sand, two figures stood motionless.

"Moyun, shall we go in too?" The Goddess, dressed as an ordinary woman, called out to Moyun beside her.

These two people in the Desert were none other than the Goddess and Moyun, who had just been released from prison.

They were released from the prison, and while walking in the Desert, they happened to stumble upon such a illusory space, like an entrance leading to some unknown area.

Moyun maintained a little vigilance about this, but the Goddess had no worries at all.

She understood that this space was the passage to Jiaolong Valley!

Because this was secretly opened for her by the Hemp Robe Supreme who was protecting her safety!

The Goddess temporarily couldn't think of any good way to clear Moyun's name and let him rejoin his team, after all, Du Xingchen's threat always hung between her and Moyun.

If she really told Moyun the truth regardless of everything, explaining that Du Xingchen was the mastermind and the real culprit of those events, then she would have to say goodbye to Moyun.

However, although she couldn't expose Du Xingchen, she learned through her own information channels that the Demon Hall had also brought Wen Xiucheng into Jiaolong Valley this time!

This was a great Opportunity for Moyun!

Moyun could take this Opportunity to rescue Wen Xiucheng!
