Chapter 811: Crossing the Empty Mountain

That afternoon, Chen Chuan, accompanied by Feng Heshou, took a ferry back to the Anying Islands.

He felt that he had gained a lot from this trip. The benefits related to Xuejun Sword were an additional gain. The main thing was the exchange and communication with a fighter. Not only did it give him a deeper understanding and knowledge of the use of this limit of power, but it also deepened the resonance with the second me.

Of course, Feng Heshou did not give him these things for no reason. His purpose was obviously to establish a good relationship with him.

The Dashun government needed the existence of Langtao Pavilion to appease the people around it. At the same time, after Langtao Pavilion became affiliated with Dashun, it naturally became a barrier against the Linax Federation.

It would have been fine if Langtao Pavilion had no position before, but now that it has a position, if the Federation still wants to make progress overseas, Langtao Pavilion cannot be ignored, and it is foreseeable that it will be targeted.

Feng Heshou himself was not originally a member of the Dashun system and had no connections in Dashun. If he really encountered any situation, there were few people he could ask for help. However, since they had some friendship with each other, he could still be counted on for help at critical moments.

It was already evening when Chen Chuan returned to Anying Islands. This was a tourist destination, and it was still the tourist season, so he didn't plan to leave. He wanted to spend a few days there, enjoying the scenery, tasting the local food, and taking the time to practice his sword skills.

The business negotiations of Fusion Boundary Company could continue after his return. After Meng Shu learned that he planned to stay for a few days, she specially invited a tour guide who was familiar with the local conditions to accompany him.

He spent two days strolling around here and bought a lot of local specialties and souvenirs, planning to bring some back to his acquaintances, friends, and his aunt's family.

On the third day, he came to the famous white sand beach and sat on a lounge chair, admiring the blue sea in the distance. The Xuejun Knife was inserted upright beside him, and a red scarf was wrapped around the handle. The sea breeze blew, causing it to fly backwards from time to time.

At this time, a man wearing sunglasses came over. He was the person in charge of communication with Sino-Ocean Development Group in recent days. He came close to Chen Chuan, did not speak, and just waited there.

Chen Chuan said: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. We received an urgent telegram and there may be some situations that require your help."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Since you found me, there must be not many people who can handle this matter now. Tell me about it."

The liaison officer apologized and said, "Besides negotiating with Feng Heshou of Lang Tao Pavilion, we also sent people to Anyao Pavilion to try to persuade Xiaoyuezhai to side with us, because Anyao Pavilion had no overt conflicts with our Dashun before.

This person has now rejected our invitation, but accepted the recruitment of the Federation of Linax.

As if to show his determination, one of his disciples killed the liaison officer we sent to negotiate. According to our investigation, this action was most likely carried out at the behest of the Linax Federation.

Xiaoyuezhai himself did not make any response or explanation to this.

Therefore, we have judged that Anyao Hall has serious hostility towards our Dashun. We cannot ignore this situation. The company has already submitted an application to the higher authorities. Instead of waiting for Anyao Hall to get support from the Linax Federation to confront us, it is better to eliminate Anyao Hall now.

The group had originally invited two fighters to go there to handle related matters, but one of them had an urgent task and might be delayed for a few days. Just a few extra days might lead to more additional situations if the Linax Federation reacts.

So we have to come to Mr. Chen for help. If Mr. Chen has time, we hope you can go there and handle this matter with the other gentleman. "

Having said this, he bowed again and said sincerely, "Of course, the risks encountered and all losses incurred will be compensated accordingly by the Ocean Development Group."

An Yao Pavilion...

Chen Chuan thought for a moment. He happened to have learned some information from Feng Heshou. Any choice An Yaoguan would make was possible, but the fact that a disciple killed the Dashun liaison seemed a little abnormal.

Even if An Yaoguan made a choice, there was no need to offend the Dashun government so quickly.

It seemed as if someone was forcing him to make a choice.

There might be something wrong with that disciple.

But, he may not necessarily be from the Linax Federation.

The liaison officer saw that he didn't speak for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking. If Chen Chuan didn't agree, they had no choice.

Fighters have a high degree of autonomy, and if they don't want to, they can't be forced. Besides, Chen Chuan didn't come out for this matter, and there was no clear order from above. It is understandable that he refused to agree.

He thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen, we know that this is too presumptuous, but the situation is special, so if you are willing, the company will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Chen Chuan said: "When did you arrange it?"

Upon hearing this, the liaison officer hurriedly said, "The airship is ready and can depart at any time."

Chen Chuan reached out, took the drink placed beside him, drank it in one gulp, put it down, and then stood up from the lounge chair. He looked at the vast sea surging in the distance and said, "Since we're already out this time, let's take a walk."

The matter is already here. If he doesn't deal with it this time, he estimates that this matter may still fall on his head in the future, and he himself is not opposed to sparring with different fighters.

The contact person was delighted. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. Sino-Ocean Development Group will provide everything you need on this trip." He then added solemnly, "The group will remember your help."

Chen Chuan looked at the second self. After the battle with Feng Heshou, the second self had made great progress. This was much better than self-training.

And in the past few days he felt that after this battle, the transformation of his body seemed to have accelerated a little.

Most people would not dare to fight during the transformation, for fear of wasting energy and causing the process to fail to complete smoothly. But now he has enough logistical support, so there is no need to worry about that.

This was a situation he had never seen before when fighting with Wei Guochan and Long Xiang. It might be because these two people were not as strong as Feng Heshou and did not bring him too much pressure.

With these advantages, he is looking forward to fighting against strong opponents.

He left here, went back to prepare, said hello to Meng Shu, and just half an hour later, he boarded the airship to Anyao Pavilion.

An Yao Pavilion is located on Kongshan Island, home to an active volcano and dotted with white rock formations like small hills. The glare is so intense that it blinds visitors, making it a truly remarkable sight. In the past, access to the pavilion required a guide from the pavilion, but nowadays, visitors can fly over it.

It took only two days to travel from the Anying Islands to that place by airship. During this time, Chen Chuan did nothing else except maintain his sword and eat enough to prepare for the battle.

In the battle with Feng Heshou, it seemed that both sides put in a lot of effort, but it was actually just a sparring match. In essence, both sides had negotiated the conditions and decided who would be the leader and who would be the follower, so neither side had the intention to kill and they almost stopped.

But this time, An Yaoguan's operation was to clear out the enemy, which meant a battle of life and death. This was a completely different concept and needed to be taken seriously.

Two days later, as the first ray of sunlight rose from the east and emerged from the sea, the airship gradually approached Kongshan Island.

Chen Chuan was standing on the terrace of the airship at the moment. Looking into the distance, he could see huge white rocks standing in the sea. From his angle, these white rocks were similar in shape and height, and their positions were particular. They probably did not grow there originally, but were moved and arranged here by someone.

and……

He walked forward a few steps and found that if these rocks were connected together, there seemed to be a mysterious ritual.

Master Hongfa was originally a Zen Buddhist, so it was not surprising that he knew secret rituals. Eight hundred years ago, when the Xuanjiao was revived, the two religions were fighting, which led to many Zen Buddhists crossing the sea to the east, not only to preach, but also to avoid religious disasters. Perhaps it was because of this that this arrangement was made.

At this time, the liaison officer came over, looked into the distance, and said, "Mr. Chen, Kongshan Island has a unique terrain. Ships can't pass here. At sea, the warships' line of sight and artillery paths are also blocked by those huge rocks, making it difficult to use naval guns to directly bombard the island."

Chen Chuan nodded. These huge rocks were as big as small mountains. It would take an unknown amount of time to destroy them. In this case, it was no wonder that An Yaoguan was so confident before. They occupied this place and were not afraid of conventional forces coming in.

At this time, the airship began to slowly descend. Just below them, there were two Changwei-class warships and a large carrier ship that could provide anchorage for two airships. The fighter who arrived earlier should be there at this moment.

At this moment, the liaison officer heard something in his ear. He apologized and left. After a while, he hurried back and said, "Mr. Chen, we have learned that Mr. Hu, who was supposed to be waiting there, has already arrived on the island."

Chen Chuan was a little surprised. Mr. Hu was the martial artist. Was he so confident that he went to the island alone without waiting for him to join them?

The contact person was somewhat helpless and said, "This person is just like that. He has a very impulsive personality."

Chen Chuanxin understood that it should be some kind of oath that breaks the time limit of the hug. Although this trait is relatively easy to go wrong, extreme choices can usually be exchanged for more powerful power.

However, he was not optimistic about this option. This was the home ground of An Yao Hall, and since there was a secret ceremony outside the island, there might be one inside the island as well.

He looked ahead and said, "In that case, there's no need to stop. The airship will be in front, and I'll go down directly from there."
