Special War God

Chapter 223 Is This a Legend?

Ji Tinglin comforted her, "Don't worry, tell me what happened in detail."

Pang Guanting said in a deep voice: "Before stepping into the mysterious primitive star, Master discovered a relic where the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' was hidden, and remembered its location. After arriving here, he asked Junior Brother Zhu and the other two to escort Senior Brother Xia and lead us to track according to the clues in our memory.

We raced eastward for two months, and indeed found the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' in a deep canyon. However, no matter how we got ahead, the Wu Clan had already approached quietly, but they had not discovered the secrets in the canyon.

After finding that he could not subdue the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' by himself, the master visited the Wu tribe and proposed to share the treasure and invite them to join forces. The three gourds on the gourd vine plus the vine body can be divided into four parts. The two parties agreed that after obtaining the treasure, each would take two parts.

Unexpectedly, after we broke through the barrier and obtained the gourd vine, the witch tribe betrayed us and took everything for themselves, and even cast a witch spell on Master, forcing us to collect the treasures of heaven and earth."

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Didn't Senior Gongsun sign a binding agreement with the Wu Clan?"

Pang Guanting replied: "Of course, Master made a contract before taking them to see the 'Chaos Gourd Vine', but they seemed to ignore the backlash of the contract and took advantage of Master's unpreparedness to do something."

Ji Tinglin interrupted, "I've heard that the Wu Clan is good at tampering with contracts. Fellow Daoist Gongsun may have been deceived by them."

Xia Zhongnan asked: "How strong is the Wu clan?"

Pang Guanting replied: "A team of more than 300 wizards led by five wizards."

Xia Zhongnan asked again: "How did you escape?"

Pang Guanting replied: "Master is bound by a witch curse and is powerless to resist. He suffers every day. We are forced to find rare treasures for them. Any resistance will intensify the torture of Master. The disciples are helpless and can only let the witches drive them. I remembered that Master relies on Brother Xia, and maybe he has a way to save Master, so I took the opportunity to escape and ask Brother Xia for help."

At this moment, he was like a drowning man grasping at a straw. He had no choice but to turn to Xia Zhongnan for help, hoping that he could help him out.

Xia Zhongnan said, "Come on, take me to have a look first."

He knew nothing about the witch clan and witchcraft, and the knowledgeable Feng Yunzi was still asleep at the moment. He could only move forward cautiously and adapt to circumstances.

Ji Tinglin said: "Don't worry, I will immediately gather the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion to act with you."

Xia Zhongnan: "Senior Ji, your sect has just experienced a fierce battle, and more than half of the disciples were killed or wounded..."

Ji Tinglin: "The world is so turbulent. If we don't unite, we will be swallowed up sooner or later. Since Tianbing Pavilion is also in trouble, let's fight side by side!"

Then, he ordered the disciples beside him: "Send a signal and call everyone back."

Suddenly, a series of low horn sounds came from afar. It was the assembly order of the High Heaven Pavilion. The people around quickly put the bodies of the fallen disciples into storage rings and prepared to set off.

After a long wait, the disciples at the top of the star finally gathered.

This was mainly because many people were caught up in the frenzy of the fierce battle, desperately chasing the fleeing enemy troops until they were out of sight.

Ji Tinglin explained the current mission to everyone and then prepared to set off.

Xia Zhongnan had been immersed in thought, looking for a solution. He said, "We should not delay any longer. Senior Ji, you can fly. Please take Senior Brother Pang with you first. I will try my best to catch up. The rest of you should follow Senior Brother Zhu Chuanshui and the others and follow the signs left behind."

Ji Tinglin responded: "Can you keep up? Otherwise, I'll take you two along!"

Xia Zhongnan said firmly: "Maybe we will have to fight once we get there. Senior Ji will be too tired to carry two people. I can keep up."

Seeing that he was determined and wanting to see his speed, Ji Tinglin followed Xia Zhongnan's instructions and leaped up with Pang Guanting.

Xia Zhongnan instantly burst out with strength and chased after him.

Although he could not truly soar, he could use the treetops or protruding boulders to easily fly dozens of meters, and his speed was not inferior to Ji Tinglin who carried Pang Guanting on his back.

Ji Tinglin admired him very much. Besides his powerful fighting strength, his traveling skills were not inferior to those of Void Realm cultivators.

The more he learned about Xia Zhongnan, the more unfathomable he seemed to him. He wondered what kind of legendary figure he would become.

After three consecutive days of galloping, they completed Pang Guanting's nearly twenty-day journey and were about to arrive at the valley where the Wu Clan and the disciples of the Tianbing Pavilion lived.

Ji Tinglin landed with Pang Guanting.

Pang Guanting said nervously, "After crossing the two mountains ahead is the valley we were in before. What to do next is entirely up to Senior Brother Xia."

Xia Zhongnan said: "Please describe the terrain and personnel distribution before leaving the canyon in detail again."

Pang Guanting gave a detailed description of the terrain and population distribution in the canyon.

Xia Zhongnan frowned after hearing this.

Pang Guanting asked: "Brother Xia, is there something wrong?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Are you sure you didn't miss any details?"

Pang Guanting replied, "I did not go to find Senior Brother Xia immediately. Instead, I stayed here for several days, went in and out of the canyon many times, and memorized all the situations before setting off."

Ji Tinglin also asked: "Xiao Fei, did you find any problems?"

They were already very familiar with each other, and Xia Zhongnan didn't want to hear him addressed as "little friend" anymore, so he simply asked him to be called "Xiao Fei" to make it seem more intimate, and he also asked Ji Tinglin to be called "Uncle Ji".

Xia Zhongnan said: "Uncle Ji, you see, according to Senior Brother Pang's description, the entire canyon seems to be defenseless. This is not only the Wu Clan's lair, but also the people from the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion. Even if they are powerful and do not need to deploy defenses, they should still arrange patrol guards!"

Pang Guanting was surprised and said, "Yes, every time we go in and out, we have never seen any guards from the Wu Clan."

Ji Tinglin said: "Perhaps the Wu clan used some kind of secret protection? They have many racial methods, many of which are beyond common sense."...

Xia Zhongnan said in a deep voice: "We should not act rashly before we have insight into their witchcraft layout. However, our understanding of the witch tribe is too limited, and we cannot uncover their true intentions in a short period of time. It seems that this is the only option."

Ji Tinglin asked: "What's the plan?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Disturbing the dragon scares the snake! Capture the tongue first, maybe we can get some information out of it."

“Tongue” here refers to the captive, the key person used to interrogate information.

Ji Tinglin responded: "Okay, leave this to me."

For a virtual realm cultivator like him, capturing a living person is a piece of cake.

Xia Zhongnan added: "No rush, we should first set up a defense line here so that we can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat."

His strategy was always to ensure a way out first so as not to be helpless when a crisis came.

You must know that there are many low-level disciples in the Tianbing Pavilion. Even if they are successfully rescued, if they have no place to hide and the pursuers are pressing, the situation will be extremely difficult.

He is a cautious man who thinks everything through.

So he carefully studied the topography of the area, selected a valley, and guided the two to set up a magic formation.

During this period, his understanding of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and the laws of space increased greatly.

Even Ji Tinglin, who was well versed in formations, was confused by the magic circle that was casually constructed at this moment.

Seeing that the magic circle had taken shape, Ji Tinglin immediately suggested going out to capture the "Tongue".

He was devastated and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

He realized that Xia Zhongnan's attainments in the art of formation far surpassed his own, and working with such a person would probably gradually erode his confidence.

You should know that Lingxiao Pavilion is famous for its formations, so it can set up such a complex formation in its stronghold.

At this moment, Xia Zhongnan was setting up the formation in front of him and guiding him, but he was still unable to glimpse the core secret of the formation, but he was unwilling to give up.

Just when Xia Zhongnan completed the magic circle, Ji Tinglin had brought back the "tongue".

He captured three people in one fell swoop and explained: "These three people just returned from the outside world. Before they set foot in the valley, I took advantage of the situation and subdued them all."

All three had fainted. Xia Zhongnan said, "This is the best way. I'll take one person in for questioning first, and then you can send them in one by one."

After saying that, he took one person away into the magic circle for interrogation, questioning them separately to make it easier to distinguish the true from the false.

This is a sorcerer who is about thirty years old.

He hasn't been promoted to a wizard at this age, which shows that his talent is mediocre.

Xia Zhongnan woke him up. The sorcerer's eyes widened. Seeing Xia Zhongnan, he was surprised and suspicious: "Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Don't you know that I am from the witch clan?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "So what if you are from the Wu Clan? You still fell into my hands after all."

The witch snorted, "Humph, you dare to provoke the witch clan, you are so bold! Send me away quickly and pay me 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in compensation, otherwise you will regret it!"

Hearing the witch's arrogance, Xia Zhongnan smiled bitterly: "Are all the people of the Wu clan so arrogant? Are the Saha world ruled by you Wu clan?"

The witch practitioner declared: "In the endless world of Saha, our witch clan may not be the master, but in the entire Qiyuan Star Sea, which race dares to provoke us easily?"

Xia Zhongnan asked curiously, "Is the Wu Clan really so powerful? I don't know much about you. Can you tell me about the power of your Wu Clan?"

The witchcraft practitioner responded: "The witch clan was born at the beginning of chaos. Since ancient times, we are the most powerful branch of the human race. Most of the supreme gods have been protected by our witch clan. When it comes to the ten great wizards of Lingshan, who dares not to show us a little respect? So far, no human force has dared to touch the edge of the witch clan!"

These words are full of arrogance and shocking.

Xia Zhongnan thought about it. The story about the "Witch" was indeed very popular. He had heard the legend of the "Witch" both in China on Earth and in the vast world. Now on this primitive planet, he actually had to confront the "Witch" head-on.

He asked, "I also heard there is a 'Witch Alliance'. What kind of force is this?"

The witchcraft practitioner said disdainfully: "What a bullshit 'Witch Alliance', it's just a small group that wants to tarnish the glory of the witch clan! I heard that their leader is a cultivator, and because he has some connection with our witch clan, he named himself the 'Witch Alliance', trying to borrow the power of the witch clan to expand his momentum!"

Xia Zhongnan sneered, "You Wu clan are so powerful, but you are all arrogant. No wonder there is not even a guard at the stronghold. You were at the doorstep, but I captured you easily!"

The witchcraft practitioner laughed sarcastically: "How can you mortals understand the witch clan's methods? Let me tell you, if you don't send me back as soon as possible, you may not be able to escape within half an hour. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"

Xia Zhongnan asked back: "Oh, you mean that your Wu clan has already discovered that you are under my control?"

The witchcraft practitioner replied: "Of course! How can your little tricks be hidden from the sharp insight of the witch tribe? You'd better prepare tens of thousands of Yuan crystals and send me back respectfully. Otherwise, once the witch tribe comes to your door, tens of thousands of Yuan crystals will not solve any problems!"

Xia Zhongnan said with a smile: "You keep saying tens of thousands of Yuan Crystals, I want to see how many Yuan Crystals you have hidden on you!"
