Chapter 222 Zu Peng, Powerful Demons, Gathered in Qingyang Mountain (10,000 Words)

"There are many warriors on the main road, which is prone to conflicts, and there may be robbers ambushing me. The deserted road is too remote and it is not safe to walk alone, so I will compromise and take a small road. I happen to know several small roads that are not dangerous."

The honest man took out a piece of kraft paper from his arms. It was a map of the surrounding areas of Qingyang City, with traces of additions and deletions written in Qingsong ink.

This map full of traces was passed down from his grandfather, and was finally formed after repeated research and corrections by him. It can be said that it shows the splendor of Qingyang City thousands of miles away.

Of course, for him, the scenery, people and customs all fall into the clichés. The most important thing is that the map records his eighteen escape routes for various situations.

However, because warriors from all walks of life are gathered in Qingyang City, it is difficult to walk on the main road, so they can only take the small mountain roads.

"Let's go this way, without further ado, the wind is blowing!" The honest man put away the map, carried his luggage, and moved forward quickly with a little jump.

From a distance, the whole person looks like a rolling ball, which looks quite funny.

After far away from the city gate, the honest man avoided the crowd and headed towards a small road instead of taking the Shenglong Road and other major roads.

He didn't get far before he changed his mind.

This path was usually sparsely populated, but now it was crowded, completely inconsistent with the best escape route in his mind.

"Change it."

The honest man walked to another path. This time he was very lucky. He almost didn't see the warrior after walking for a quarter of an hour.

However, there are some ordinary people who are not afraid.

This way until evening, the honest man looked at the inn in front of him, and finally shook his head and did not intend to check in.

"This inn is out of the way and has no store at the back. It looks like a dark inn. I'll just stay out for one night."

With rich experience in surviving in the wild, he quickly caught a hare and roasted it on the fire. The aroma wafted around, whetting his appetite.

After eating, the Dunhou man found an open place to camp and fell asleep.

The night is like cold water, with a cold wind blowing, and the sky and the earth seem to have fallen into a deep sleep.

"Hey, why is there someone here?"

Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps woke up the honest man who was resting.

He opened his eyes suddenly, curled up and stared at the people approaching.

"Don't worry about him, he should be an ordinary person spending the night here." A skinny man said coldly.

Facing the discussions of several people, the honest man said nothing, hugged his body and trembled with fear, lowered his head and only dared to look at a few people with his peripheral vision.

The skinny man seemed to be the leader of the team. After he said these words, the people stopped paying attention to the honest man.

Looking at the retreating figures of several people, the timidity of the honest man disappeared, and he looked thoughtful.

"What they are carrying are real beasts, people from the Spirit Demon Sect! Fortunately, I fooled them. No, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I have to leave overnight." As an ordinary warrior, he does not need to worry, but these He did not dare to take the martial arts of the great sect lightly.

Grandpa once said that the human heart is the most unpredictable.

The disciples of these top sects never take human life seriously. If they don't like him, they might attack him directly.

After quickly packing up his things, the honest man hurried on overnight.

the other side.

"Senior Brother Chi, I feel something is wrong. How can there be ordinary people in this deserted place?" A female voice sounded slightly hesitantly.

The man called Senior Brother Chi paused and looked at Junior Sister: "Do you think I didn't notice, Senior Brother? It's just that this person didn't follow us after we left. Although he is weird, he is not a threat to us."

"Senior brother is really smart." Upon hearing this, the other junior brothers and sisters hurriedly said.

When the woman heard this, she complimented Senior Brother Chi repeatedly, but Senior Brother Chi didn't care: "Okay, hurry up and meet Senior Brother Wu as soon as possible."

Suddenly, the pet beast in Senior Brother Chi's arms howled, and his expression suddenly changed: "Everyone, be careful, there is a demon!"

Ever since he parted with the people from the Spirit Demon Sect, the honest man always felt that something was wrong, and there was a faint uneasiness lingering in his heart.

He thought it was someone from the Spirit Demon Sect who was returning, so he quickened his pace.

But soon, he knew the reason.

"Damn it, how come monsters appear on this path, and two of them appear at once!"

The whistling of the evil wind blew the smell of blood from the blood tiger and purple lion who had just had a meal, mixed with a faint evil spirit, and penetrated into the nose of the Dunhou man. Upon hearing this, the Dunhou man immediately realized that something was wrong and had to make a temporary change. Route, heading into the dense forest.

"Xue Hu, a guy has discovered us, go and deal with him." Zi Shi's indifferent voice sounded.

Unexpectedly, they would be discovered while traveling at night. Now that their whereabouts cannot be exposed, they can only aggrieve the other party.

Xuehu nodded, turned into a breeze, and chased the honest man.

Although the honest man ran away quickly, he was still a little outnumbered in front of the Blood Tiger Qingfeng Technique.

Not long after, Xuehu appeared in front of the honest man.

The honest man looked shocked when he saw this, but quickly realized what he was doing and ran back.

At this moment, the purple lion that had been following him chuckled and landed behind the honest man.

He looked at the honest man's face, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"I can give you whatever you want. Just let me go, okay?" the honest man said timidly.

"We want your life!" Xue Hu snorted coldly, and immediately took action as soon as he finished speaking.

It stepped on the ground with its tiger paws, jumped up, and its huge body was like a mountain, crashing into it.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, the Purple Lion suddenly opened his mouth to stop the Hemostatic Tiger, intercepting its offensive.

"What's wrong?" The blood tiger's movements stagnated, and a pair of brown tiger eyes stared at the purple lion with slight dissatisfaction.

Zi Shi said: "A warrior is coming, let's go first."

"What about him?" Xue Hu pointed at the frightened honest man.

"Take them together."

Purple Lion replied, leaving an afterimage before disappearing.

The blood tiger on the side saw this and grabbed the Dunhou man with its claws. A breeze enveloped the Dunhou man and took him away.

The two demons didn't stop until they heard no more noise.

Xuehu threw the honest man to the ground, bared his teeth and said, "I'm exhausted from carrying this guy, so I might as well let me eat him in one bite."

Saying that, before the purple lion could speak, it opened its bloody mouth, intending to swallow the honest man in one bite.

"can not eat."

The honest man trembled when he heard this, and he was already prepared for a battle with the two demons. He never thought that the purple lion would suddenly speak.

Xue Hu was puzzled: "Why?"

Zi Shi did not answer, but stared at the honest man for a long time and said, "You look a bit like an old friend of mine."

The honest man said nothing.

Zi Shi didn't take it seriously, and a cold voice sounded: "Who are you, Zu Chong?"

Hearing this name, a flash of panic flashed in the honest man's eyes, which was keenly caught by Zi Shi.

"It seems that you really know Zu Chong, you are his descendant." Zi Shi asked and answered.

Then his patterned face burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this old guy Zu Chong is finally dead!"

"Purple Lion, what's going on?" Xue Hu was confused.

The purple lion's smile faded slightly, its expression gloomy, and it did not hide the blood tiger's words: "He is Zu Chong's descendant, and Zu Chong is Master Wanhua!"

"What!" Xue Hu was suddenly startled.

However, the honest man was even more moved when he heard this, and his face, which he tried his best to hide, could no longer remain calm.

He asked in a deep voice: "How do you know?"

Seeing that Zi Shi really told his origin, the honest man stopped hiding it. His face no longer looked panicked, but instead looked a little gloomy.

From the tone of Purple Lion just now, it seems that this monster has a grudge against his grandfather.

If you have a grudge against his grandfather, you have a grudge against him, and he will naturally not look down upon him.

Zi Shi didn't pay attention to the honest man's attitude, but fell into some kind of memory, and his face gradually became ferocious.

"Speaking of which, it was Zu Chong who saved me in the first place, but if it weren't for him, my whole family would not have perished. He killed my whole family... It's a pity that the people in Shangyuan Palace are so useless, they even sent law enforcement elders. , and actually let your grandfather run away."

Listening to the purple lion talking to himself, the honest man suddenly said: "Are you the purple lion that my grandfather talked about?"

"So what?" Zishi didn't expect Zu Chong to mention him. He was stunned at first, but soon felt relieved.

After hearing this, the honest man said coldly: "It turns out you betrayed my grandfather!"

He had heard the story of the Purple Lion from Zu Chong. Although Zu Chong tried his best to hide his hatred, he was still aware of it.

This guy is the main culprit for grandpa's miserable second half of his life. He is the one who brought grandpa to this situation!

Thinking of this, the honest man's face showed undisguised murderous intent, and his cold eyes were full of anger.

"Xuehu, please spare his life first. He must know Zu Chong's Yuanshi Diagram. As long as we find the Yuanshi Diagram, our plan will be flawless." Zishi recovered from his memories and said to Xuehu, He was worried that the blood tiger would swallow him whole.

Xuehu nodded solemnly, knowing the seriousness of the matter. Their plan this time was to use Zu Chong's Yuanshi Diagram to attract warriors from all sides.

It was fake before, but now with the honest man, it has become real, which will surely attract more warriors.

"If you want to take me away, just dream!"

When the two demons came to an agreement, the honest man shouted loudly, then sprinkled it casually, and a ball of black powder suddenly sprayed out.

Seeing this, Xuehu snorted coldly, opened his mouth and blew, and a gust of breeze suddenly hit him, blowing away all the black powder.

"Run away?" Zi Shi took a closer look, his face condensed, and the honest man was no longer in sight.

"Chase!"

Without any hesitation, the two looked at each other and said in unison.

Puff puff.

The honest man shot out his savings while running wildly.

Poison needles, poison powder, poison water... no matter whether they are useful or not, they are all projected onto the two demons.

Under such an almost crazy projection, the number of packages on the honest man's body became lighter and lighter.

But at the same time, the Purple Lion and the Blood Tiger were getting closer and closer to his position.

"You can't run away."

Zi Shi snorted coldly, and his brown pupils suddenly shrank.

A faint purple color overflowed from the depths of his eyes, quickly spreading and covering the entire pupils, making him look extremely strange.

At this moment, Zi Shi's lavender eyes burst out with a sharp purple light, directed at the honest man.

Before the honest man could react, he was hit by the purple beam. His body immediately rose into the air like a sandbag, flew out, and hit a big tree hard. The violent force shook the green leaves of the big tree withered. There were bursts of clattering sounds.

When the blood tiger saw this, he couldn't help but speed up and jumped in front of the honest man. He smiled contemptuously and stretched out his tiger claws, trying to catch the man.

"careful!"

Suddenly, the purple lion's eyes moved slightly, sensing that danger was coming, it quickly exclaimed.

quack.

Vaguely, a harsh sound resounded, and then a huge dark figure was reflected in the blood tiger's pupils, swooping towards him.

Feeling the fierce momentum of the black shadow, the blood tiger looked frightened and jumped sharply to avoid the attack.

"A true beast! He is from the Spirit Demon Sect."

Seeing that Xuehu was fine, Zishi turned his attention to the black shadow.

The black shadow is a two-meter-long crow, with a man in black standing above it.

"Two monsters, good luck!" The man in black glanced at them and chuckled.

When the Purple Lion and the Blood Tiger heard this, their expressions froze, but there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

Real beasts are different from alien beasts. They are very terrifying monsters cultivated by humans using monsters and blood.

They obey the orders of the human race, and their strength is bound to the human race warriors. The most terrifying thing is that they have almost immortal bodies.

Even if they encounter monsters like them, it would be quite a headache.

"Hmph, you meddling guy, Xue Hu, let me deal with this person. You go and catch that kid."

Because of the intervention of the man in black, the honest man recovered some strength and escaped.

"Okay, be careful." Xuehu nodded when he heard the sound, dodged, and chased away.

The man in black didn't stop him. He wasn't sure yet if the two monsters joined forces, but if only one was left, he might have a chance to capture the other.

What's more, he also needs to delay time and wait for the people from the sect to come to support.

When the blood tiger left, the purple lion looked up to the sky and roared, its figure suddenly expanded several times, and rushed towards the man in black.

The man in black had a serious expression on his face and did not dare to be careless. He shouted softly: "Up!"

Hearing the loud fighting sounds coming from behind, the Blood Tiger didn't care, and was quite confident in the Purple Lion.

Purple Lion was even stronger than him, and his magic skills were weird and terrifying. The Spirit Demon Sect disciple might not be Purple Lion's opponent with just a real beast.

He didn't need to worry too much. The most important thing at the moment was to catch the honest man.

This guy was able to run so fast after being hit by the purple lion, which was a bit unexpected.

"Both monsters are in the realm of Yuan Yao, which is not much different from me. Unfortunately, they know magic, especially this tiger monster. It seems to be a speed-related magic. If it continues like this, it is very likely to be overtaken by it."

The honest man ran fast. The blow from the purple lion just now did not cause much damage to him. He wore several layers of silk armor, which was enough to remove the purple lion's demonic power.

Seeing the blood tiger getting closer and closer to him, the honest man felt anxious. He pursed his lips and showed a bit of determination in his eyes: "If it really doesn't work, I can only use the method grandpa gave me."

Thinking like this, the honest man couldn't help but slow down.

One person and one demon chased each other back and forth, not noticing that a shadowy figure not far away was watching them.

"A tiger demon and a Yuan Gathering warrior."

Su Chen was on his way at night. Not long after walking, he noticed something strange coming from the front, so he concealed his presence and hid.

After a while, he saw an oval-shaped man running towards him, followed by a tiger demon. One man and one demon passed by him.

"Wait a minute, the aura of this tiger monster..."

Just when Su Chen was about to ignore this man and monster, his expression was startled. The aura of the tiger demon was the same as the aura he felt on the mountain outside Daqin City.

He couldn't help but think: "Could this tiger monster be the tiger monster that Qin Zheng was chasing?"

Humans have aura, and demons also have aura. In Su Chen's perception, the auras of the two are the same, which is obviously not a coincidence.

"In other words, this tiger monster escaped from Daqin City to Qingyang City." Su Chen guessed.

Looking at the tiger demon's retreating figure, Su Chen hesitated for a moment and made a decision in his heart: "Since we have met, let's deal with it easily, just in time to repay the favor of these three thousand Lingyuan Pills."

Thinking of this, Su Chen dodged and followed him.

The honest man was finally caught up by the blood tiger, but this time, he didn't panic at all.

In his hand, there is a rune hidden. As long as the blood tiger takes action, he will tear the rune apart.

"Boy, if Zi Shi didn't need you, I would have eaten you in one bite!" Xue Hu said viciously, spitting out human words.

After chasing the honest man for so long, it was getting a little hungry.

In his eyes, the honest man in front of him was just a piece of delicious fat, and it must taste delicious.

The honest man sneered after hearing this, and his body was like an extremely tight string, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Suddenly.

The blood tiger roared, stamped its hooves on the ground, and pounced towards the honest man.

"It's now!"

When the honest man saw this, his eyes suddenly froze, and the energy in his palm surged, and he was about to tear the rune apart, but he saw a cold light shining from behind the blood tiger.

Xuehu was the first to feel the impact of this majestic momentum and screamed: "Who?"

It turned back suddenly, its eyes wide and wide, like two lanterns, shining brightly in the darkness.

However, the light it revealed was not even half as good as the sword light, and was completely obscured.

"What's this?"

Before the cold light arrived, a terrifying aura enveloped the whole body, making the honest man's blood seem to stop flowing.

Under his dumbfounded gaze, the sword light, as bright as the bright moon, slashed down horizontally, and it was as if there were ten thousand swords roaring in his ears, which was breathtaking.

laugh!

The sword light drooped down, and even the air trembled slightly.

However, what horrified the honest man was that at the moment when the sword light was about to hit the blood tiger, the blood tiger suddenly turned into a breeze and floated away.

"No!"

The sword light that lost its target did not hold back at all, and still fell menacingly.

A breath of death filled the air and spread throughout his body in an instant. The honest man's body froze in place, with a deep reluctance in his eyes.

Just when he thought he was certain to die, the bright sword light suddenly dissipated like the light of a firefly until it was nothing.

"call!"

The frightened honest man looked like he was surviving the disaster, and he collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and Su Chen walked over, looking at the disappearing figure of Xue Hu, his brows furrowed.

No wonder Qin Zheng has been unable to capture this tiger monster, it is so fast.

Even if Su Chen made a move, the other party would react and run away in time.

"Are you okay?" After staring for a moment, Su Chen turned to the honest man and asked silently.

The honest man shook his head repeatedly: "I have something to do, but it's not a big problem."

Hearing this, Su Chen glanced at the honest man, but didn't care, stepped forward and turned around to leave.

"Wait, my benefactor, don't go in this direction." Seeing Su Chen walking in the opposite direction from where he was escaping, the honest man couldn't help but shout.

Su Chen stopped and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"There is a monster ahead. It should be fighting with the people from the Spirit Demon Sect at the moment. If we go over now, I'm afraid it will be in danger." The honest man replied.

People from the Spirit Demon Sect?

Su Chen was stunned. Could it be that the people from the Spiritual Demon Sect appeared in Ziyang Sect because of Master Wanhua Yuan Shitu?

"My benefactor, why don't you just wait here for a while? It won't be too late to go over after their battle is over." said the honest man.

Su Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Can't we go around it?"

The honest man's expression froze, and then he nodded with a naive smile: "Yes, but it is more dangerous to go around in vain in other places."

He looked up and down at the thoughtful Su Chen and asked, "My benefactor, I wonder what your name is?"

"Yang Guo." Su Chen returned, looking far away, and there seemed to be a soft ringing sound beside his ears.

It seems that the battle between the spirit demon sect and the monsters is not over yet.

The honest man who learned Su Chen's name nodded seriously and asked, "Brother Yang is going to Qingyang City?"

"Yes." Su Chen nodded and glanced at the honest man covered with clothes in a strange way.

The honest man quickly explained: "I just came out of Qingyang City. Brother Yang, if you are here to hide the treasure map, I advise you not to go to Qingyang City."

"Why?" Su Chen's voice remained unchanged, and his eyes were somewhat questioning.

"This treasure map is fake. Almost every warrior who went to Qingyang City had a copy of it. They were all looking for Master Wanhua's Yuanshi Map." The honest man replied.

Su Chen had just saved his life, and he didn't want Su Chen to put himself in danger.

He had seen the treasure map before. Except for Zu Chong's residence address and some parts of the Yuanshi map that were true, the rest were all fabricated.

If he had only noticed something was wrong before, after escaping from the blood tiger and purple lion, he was even more convinced that this matter was weird and dangerous.

After talking to Zi Shi, he vaguely guessed that this treasure map was spread from the hands of Zi Shi and other monsters.

After all, Zu Chong once rescued Zi Shi and spent some time with him. Zi Shi may have seen the Yuan Shi Tu at that time, so he knew part of the content.

Now Zishi has written part of the Yuanshi Diagram on the treasure map and spread it, attracting warriors from all walks of life to Qingyang Mountain.

He didn't know what Purple Lion's purpose was, but it was definitely a conspiracy.

Su Chen didn't say anything. When he heard that everyone had a share, he noticed something strange.

A treasure map that everyone has, it sounds like someone deliberately made it.

"You just came out of Qingyang City, do you know the difference between this treasure map and the one leaked at the auction?" Su Chen suddenly asked.

The honest man shook his head: "I have never seen the treasure map at the auction, but many people think that the two treasure maps are the same."

These words made Su Chen fall into deep thought.

Seeing Su Chen's entangled look, the honest man couldn't help but said: "Brother Yang, even if you go to Qingyang Mountain, you may not be able to find the Yuan Shitu."

"Why is this?" Su Chen was startled when he heard this, and his expression looked a bit solemn.

The honest man replied: "Because I have lived in Qingyang Mountain since I was a child, there is no tomb where the treasure map is located."

The real Yuan Shitu had long been buried as a funerary object by him, and if there was no accident, it would never see the light of day.

"Thank you for informing me, but I still have to go to Qingyang City." Su Chen replied after being silent for a moment.

The honest man opened his mouth and looked at Su Chen's retreating back, but hesitated to speak.

"Brother Yang, wait for me." After hesitating for a while, the honest man's eyes gradually became firm.

He couldn't just watch Su Chen seek his own death, he had to persuade him to leave Qingyang City.

With this thought, the honest man got up and caught up with Su Chen.

Su Chen was slightly surprised when he saw him following.

Before he could speak, the honest man asked: "Brother Yang, I would like to ask, why are you looking for Yuan Shitu?"

"Practice." Su Chen replied, but it was more to verify an idea in his mind.

After a pause, he looked at the honest man and couldn't help but wonder: "From your tone, it seems that you know Yuan Shitu very well?"

"The whole Qingyang City has been rumored to be crazy, and no one knows about it." The honest man sneered.

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then do you know Master Wanhua?"

"I know a little bit." The honest man was stunned for a moment. Seeing Su Chen in a daze, he couldn't help but curiously asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I was just wondering if Master Wanhua would appear if this treasure map was fake." Su Chen shook his head.

The honest man said with a sneer: "It probably won't show up. How could he show up when he knows it's a lie?"

"By the way, since you know Master Wanhua, do you know whether this person really knows the power of one hundred thousand kinds of energy as rumored?"

Hearing this, the honest man suddenly stopped.

Su Chen looked at him in confusion, and saw that he had a serious look on his face and said seriously: "Brother Yang, although I don't know much about Master Wanhua, I also know that the power of one hundred thousand Yuan Power is really ridiculous, and it is just spreading rumors."

"Uh... um." Su Chen heard the seriousness of the honest man and asked curiously, "How many types of cultivation has he practiced?"

"About a thousand kinds." The honest man's eyes flickered and he said vaguely.

As if he was worried that Su Chen wouldn't believe it, he explained: "That's how it is said that three people can become a tiger. Master Wanhua reveals himself in one hundred ways, rumors spread into a thousand ways, reveals five hundred ways, rumors spread into ten thousand ways, reveals one thing There are thousands of kinds, and there are hundreds of thousands of rumors. If there is really someone in the world who has learned the power of one hundred thousand kinds of Yuanli, I am afraid that even Yuanshen realm warriors may not be their opponents."

The superposition of hundreds of thousands of general trends, even if it is not the true general trend of heaven and earth, is extremely terrifying, and ordinary Yuanshen realm warriors may not be their opponents.

The solid words of the honest man made him feel somewhat convinced.

Then, Su Chen chatted with the honest man while walking towards Qingyang City.

He also learned his name from the Dunhou man, which was Zu Peng.

As the sky grew brighter, the two of them arrived outside Qingyang City.

Sure enough, as Zu Peng said, there were many warriors going to Qingyang City. Looking around, most of the pedestrians had the aura of warriors.

He stopped and looked at Zu Peng, his eyes seemed a bit deep, and said: "Zu Peng, thank you for sending me to Qingyang City. Since your destination is not Qingyang City, let's part here."

"Ah?" Zu Peng was stunned, and then said quickly, "How about, Brother Yang, please come with me."

"No, I still want to look for the Yuanshi Tu." Su Chen shook his head and refused.

These words made Zu Peng's expression change. When he saw Su Chen leaving, a look of eagerness appeared on his face.

Not knowing what he thought of, Zu Peng gritted his teeth, stepped forward, followed Su Chen, and entered the city with him.

"Brother Yang, come with me."

Before Su Chen entered the city, Zu Peng lowered his voice and said something, then turned and walked to the side.

Su Chen followed.

Zu Peng stopped when he was about to reach a deserted land.

Looking around, he said under Su Chen's doubtful gaze: "Brother Yang, actually I know where Yuan Shitu is."

"Are you telling the truth?" Su Chen was shocked when he heard this.

Zu Peng signaled Su Chen to lower his voice, and then nodded heavily to show that he was not lying.

really!

Su Chen secretly thought, Zu Peng's words confirmed his guess.

He had long noticed Zu Peng's anomaly. He always felt that Zu Peng knew Master Wanhua very well, and the information related to Master Wanhua was different from what he knew. He felt convinced.

This made him vaguely guess that Zu Peng had an unusual relationship with Master Wanhua, and he might know the location of the Yuan Shitu.

During the conversation that followed, he also asked sideways questions, becoming more and more convinced of this idea.

After confirming it, he wanted to capture Zu Peng and extract information about Yuan Shitu from his mouth.

It was just Zu Peng's kindness that made him give up this idea.

While talking with Zu Peng, he found that although Zu Peng was not familiar with the world, he was kind-hearted and sincere in his treatment of others. He repeatedly persuaded him not to go to Qingyang City.

So he settled for the next best thing and planned to pretend to be separated from Zu Peng first to see if he could follow his trail and learn about Yuan Shitu.

But he didn't expect that Zu Peng would tell him directly.

"You, how do you know?" Su Chen looked at Zu Peng suspiciously and asked softly.

"Because Master Wanhua is my grandfather!" Now that he has confessed, Zu Peng has no intention of hiding it.

Another bombshell news, which made Su Chen react for a few seconds before he came to his senses.

After a long time, Su Chen asked with a complicated face: "Aren't you afraid that I will do something to you if I find out the news?"

"You saved my life, I should repay you." Zu Peng shook his head and said.

As for whether Su Chen would take action against him afterwards, that is another matter.

"Then...where is the Yuanshitu?" Although he felt like he was being trusted, Su Chen still asked what he wanted to ask.

"Near Qingyang Mountain!" Zu Peng replied.

Su Chen's expression froze: "...Didn't you say you weren't in Qingyang Mountain?"

"It's not there, it's on a hill near it." Zu Peng nodded.

Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly realized.

He quickly thought of a question and asked, "Will your grandfather allow you to give me the Yuanshi Diagram?"

"He is dead." Zu Peng's voice was a little lonely, and his eyes were a little dim.

"Sorry." Su Chen apologized.

Zu Peng shook his head: "Let's go, Brother Yang, let's go to the city."

Su Chen nodded, and the two of them entered the city side by side, the distance between the two figures invisibly getting closer.

After entering the city, it became even more lively.

However, Zu Peng didn't like this kind of excitement very much, so he didn't take the main street, but walked towards the path.

Su Chen followed closely and walked a certain distance, finding that he was getting more and more remote as he walked.

If he hadn't been stronger than Zu Peng and had the confidence, he would have doubted whether the other party was deceiving him.

"Zupeng, why do you have to go to these alleys?"

After walking for a while, Su Chen couldn't help but asked curiously.

Zu Peng stopped and replied: "It's too dangerous to take the high road."

"Where is the danger?" Su Chen was puzzled.

"The more people there are, the more dangerous it is."

Su Chen: "...!!!"

"Who told you this?" Su Chen asked after a moment of silence.

"My grandfather."

"All right."

After following Zu Peng to an extremely remote courtyard room, he stopped and said to Su Chen, "Brother Yang, this is where I will temporarily live. Let's stay here for a while tonight."

"May I ask, how long has it been since this house was inhabited?" Su Chen asked in confusion, looking at the house that was filled with spider silk and covered with dust.

"It's been almost half a year." Zu Peng opened the door and replied.

The two walked in and spent half an hour tidying up the house.

After looking at the sky, Su Chen stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out for a nice meal."

"No, there are too many people outside and it's too dangerous. I'll go cook some food and we'll make do." Zu Peng shook his head.

Su Chen: "..."

He wanted to tell Zu Peng that he could pack it up and come back, but when he saw that the other party had already walked in, he had no choice but to shut up.

After a while, Zu Peng came out with an embarrassed look on his face: "The rice was eaten by mice."

"Then I'll go out and pack some food and come back." This time Su Chen learned his lesson and didn't plan to bring Zu Peng with him.

"That's okay, it's very dangerous outside, be careful." Zu Peng reminded.

Su Chen nodded. Before he walked out of the yard, he heard Zu Peng's voice: "Forget it, it's too dangerous for you to be alone. I'd better go with you."

Then Su Chen saw Zu Peng walking out of the room with large and small bags.

"Let's go."

In the end, the two of them didn't pack their bags and came back, so they just found a restaurant to have a meal.

After this meal, he finally saw Zu Peng's caution. Regardless of food or tea, Zu Peng had to test for poison before eating. He was extremely cautious.

With all this fuss, the meal lasted for an hour.

After eating and drinking, Su Chen asked Zu Peng to go back first. Zu Peng learned that Su Chen was going to inquire about information and decisively refused, saying that he would follow Su Chen.

Helpless, Su Chen had no choice but to take Zu Peng to the Wanhai Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the news.

Along the way, although he didn't see anyone holding a treasure map, he heard people discussing the Qingyang Mountain tomb from time to time.

The matter has spread.

There were many people who went to the Wanhai Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the news. Su Chen found out the many forces that had arrived in Qingyang City after a little inquiry.

Almost everyone from the four major sects near Qingyang City, Shangyuan Palace, Sword Sect, Ziyang Sect, and Spirit Demon Sect came.

This also allowed him to find out a piece of news that was completely different from what Zu Peng said.

"What? Is there really an ancient tomb on Qingyang Mountain?" Zu Peng was shocked when he learned the news.

He originally thought that this was a fabricated treasure map, but now it seems that is not the case.

Zu Peng frowned, becoming more and more aware that the water behind this matter was very deep.

Su Chen nodded: "Not only that, news has spread that the tomb will be opened in three days, and Yuan Shitu will be born by then!"

"Brother Yang, why don't we come back after a while." Zu Peng said worriedly.

There were too many warriors in Qingyang City now, and when such news came out at this time, he felt even more uneasy.

Seeing that Su Chen didn't speak, Zu Peng continued: "Anyway, I am the only one who knows where the real Yuan Shi Tu is. It won't matter if it takes a few days. When this matter is settled, I will take you there."

Su Chen thought for a while and finally shook his head and said: "Zu Peng, please tell me the location."

He was not worried that Zu Peng would not take him there, but that someone would discover the real tomb of Master Wanhua and find the Yuanshi Tu in advance.

It will be too late to regret by then.

Hearing this, Zu Peng shook his head and said: "No, how can I let you put yourself in danger? I'd better go with you, but Brother Yang, I think we have to go early, maybe tomorrow?"

Su Chen thought for a while and nodded: "Okay!"

He knew Zu Peng's temperament, and on the way back he wanted to persuade Zu Peng to give up this idea again.

Zu Peng still refused: "Brother Yang, it will be safer if I accompany you, and I know a secret passage leading to Xiaoshi Mountain. When the time comes, we will go directly to the secret passage, which will be much safer."

Xiaoshishan is where the grandfather and grandson live.

After hearing this, Su Chen looked at Zu Peng suspiciously and asked, "Could you have dug this secret tunnel?"

Zu Peng pursed his lips and said nothing. The meaning was self-evident.

The next morning.

The two of them got ready and set out for the city.

Looking at Zu Peng's bloated body like a ball, Su Chen said in surprise: "You carry so many packages every day, aren't you tired?"

"You won't get tired once you get used to it. These are life-saving things." Zu Peng said with a smile.

His body shape is actually not much different from that of Su Chen, but he deliberately dressed up like this to look a bit honest and confuse the enemy.

The two quickly left the city and headed towards Qingyang Mountain, meeting many warriors along the way.

After walking for a while, Zu Peng took Su Chen along the path. He still saw figures of warriors on the path from time to time.

Zu Peng didn't care. When no one was around, he pulled Su Chen and fled into the forest.

"Brother Yang, please pay attention to see if anyone is following us. This secret passage cannot be discovered by others."

Zu Peng took ten steps and paused, observing his surroundings.

Su Chen nodded in response and unleashed his perception to the extreme. Having practiced the Pure Yuan Jing to the limit, his perception was extremely sharp.

"found it."

After about half an hour, Zu Peng found the secret passage, which was hidden under a hill and blocked by weeds.

Zu Peng lifted up the weeds and removed the wooden planks, revealing a deep cave with a height of one meter.

"Brother Yang, this is it." Zu Peng pointed to the cave and said, "Let's go in quickly."

Su Chen nodded. The cave was extremely dark, with a hint of chill overflowing.

Zu Peng walked in first, followed closely by Su Chen, who used wooden boards to block the secret passage again.

"After walking out of this secret passage, we can reach the vicinity of my grandfather's grave. The Yuanshitu is placed in my grandfather's coffin." Zu Peng said as he walked.

The light in the cave was dim, which did not affect Su Chen's vision at all. After hearing these words, Su Chen nodded: "Okay!"

When Su Chen and Zu Peng went to Xiaoshi Mountain, all the heroes gathered on Qingyang Mountain!
