When Xiao Junjie asked for help, he didn't actually hold much hope, because this was Guangji Heaven Realm, an evil realm.
But after the other party really saved them, Xiao Junjie was no longer willing to act separately from the master and disciple in front of him.
If he had been ambitious to get a piece of the action when he heard about the Chongshan Palace's appearance, the corpses scattered around him now made him realize how unrealistic this idea was.
Guangji is more dangerous than any other realm he has experienced before. They need to stay alert at all times and guard against evil cultivators who may appear out of nowhere.
Xiao Junjie was exhausted both physically and mentally in the unfamiliar sky and complex environment with no supply points and no detailed map provided by Zhishitang.
There were more than twenty of them when they came out. Seven of them died when they left the vortex portal and were chased. Half of them died again when they wandered around like headless flies and broke into the territory of a powerful evil cultivator. After they finally bypassed the Heir City, they were caught up by the evil cultivators of Jian Liangshan. They fled and were killed all the way, and finally only three of them were left.
If they cannot convince this senior to allow them to act together, the three of them may not live long.
Xiao Junjie tried hard to persuade the other party. He said, "Senior, in fact, the goal of the juniors is the same as yours. We also want to return to the heaven of Taoists. Forgive me for being frank, but why don't you take us with you and wait until we meet more Taoists who want to return to Luobei Heaven, and rush to the portal together. This way, the chances will be greater. I know that your cultivation is profound, but more people can share the damage, and it will also prevent your disciples from getting hurt, right?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you here for Chongshan Immortal Palace? Why did you change your mind?"
Xiao Junjie smiled bitterly and said, "I was too arrogant. I thought that people with the Jindan stage could go anywhere in the Taoist realms, and that we could try our luck in the evil realms. After coming here, I realized that people below the Jindan stage are basically consumables."
Chen Xiao looked at the two people behind Xiao Junjie and said, "Are you three all in the Jindan stage?"
Fang Shimin hurriedly said, "In reply to your question, the three of us are all at the Golden Core stage, and Brother Xiao is at the peak of the late Golden Core stage. He only needs a little more opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage."
Xiao Junjie sighed and said, "It is precisely because I am stuck in the Golden Core Stage and have been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage that I became impatient and wanted to take a risk and try my luck at Chongshan Immortal Palace."
Chen Xiao finally agreed to Xiao Junjie's request and took the three of them away together.
He felt that what Xiao Junjie said made sense. No matter how anxious he was to return to Luo Chen, he could not risk the safety of both of them.
He had dealt with the evil cultivators three times, and each time was very dangerous. The evil cultivators' skills were already very strange, not to mention that this was the base camp of the evil cultivators, and there might be something even more dangerous.
"Which direction is Chongshan Palace?" Chen Xiao asked. If they wanted to find the main force, they could only look for it in the direction where everyone was going.
Xiao Junjie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know."
Chen Xiao was very surprised, "Don't you even know the general direction?" Not only did he not tell the specific location, he didn't even know the general direction, but he dared to come to the evil realm. It was unknown whether Xiao Junjie was bold or had a problem with his brain.
Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Junjie so ashamed that he lowered his head. Fang Shimin said with a stiff face, "Senior, the location of Chongshan Immortal Palace is only known by the people of the Refiner Alliance. We who are with the team don't know."
Liu Heng also agreed: "Yes, if we hadn't been separated from the main group, we wouldn't have gotten lost."
Chen Xiao was not only surprised this time, he directly suspected whether this was some conspiracy of the Equipment Refiners Alliance to recruit such a large group of ignorant people to be cannon fodder!
However, when Chen Xiao heard that this action was led by people from the Equipment Refiners Alliance, he felt much more at ease.
Xi Yunting used his face to enter the Equipment Refiner Alliance, so he gave the badge to Chen Xiao. With this VIP badge, the Equipment Refiner Alliance would definitely give him face, and it would be easy for him to join the team.
Chen Xiao felt a little regretful now. He killed that group of evil cultivators too early. He should have left someone alive to ask for directions.
Chen Xiao was worried, Huang Keran said: "Is Jianliang Mountain far away? There should be people on the mountain, right? Why don't we go and take it down, then we can find out where Chongshan Fairy Palace is."
Xiao Junjie and the other two couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Look at him, they all wanted to avoid the evil cultivators, but this guy dared to destroy their lair!
Chen Xiao thought this was a good idea. He asked, "Where is Jian Liangshan? You should know this, right?"
After collecting the names of the deceased Taoists and building tombs for them, the five men headed towards Jianliang Mountain.
Among the three Jindan, only Xiao Junjie has a sect, while Fang Shimin and Liu Heng have a sect but are both independent practitioners. As a result, only Xiao Junjie and Fang Shimin can fly, while Liu Heng, who is relatively poor, can neither perform levitation magic nor afford magic tools or birds for transportation.
After visiting countless Feng Shui sites, he had already achieved a breakthrough to the out-of-body state several years ago and had the highest level of cultivation among the five.
Xiao Junjie and the other two did not dare to suggest that Chen Xiao take Liu Heng with him, and Chen Xiao did not take the initiative to mention it. The environment here was too unfamiliar and dangerous. If he brought one person with him, it would be difficult to deal with any emergency.
Therefore, the group had to travel by land.
Jianliang Mountain is not far from here and is not a very big hill.
This group of evil practitioners gathered in a cave, which was rich in cold and yin energy, which nourished some evil spirits and was most suitable for evil practitioners to practice.
When it comes to finding this kind of place, no one is quicker than a Feng Shui master. Chen Xiao only needed to float in the air and take a look to determine the location of the cave.
The main force of this group of evil cultivators went out to hunt down Xiao Junjie. There were only a dozen or so minions in the cave, and their cultivation was not high. Chen Xiao didn't even need to take action. Xiao Junjie and the other two attacked with hatred, and killed the evil cultivators so hard that they cried for their parents.
Huang Keran frowned and said, "Don't kill them all. Leave some alive for questioning." Then the three men stopped.
Fang Shimin and Liu Heng guarded the remaining people. Xiao Junjie grabbed a small leader-like evil cultivator and threw him in front of Chen Xiao, "Kneel down!"
The evil cultivator was so frightened that he trembled and kowtowed on the ground, "Grandpas, please spare my life! Grandpas, please spare my life!"
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and his invisible aura pressed down on the evil cultivator. "As long as you answer well, I can spare your life."
The evil cultivator almost fell to the ground, but upon hearing that there was still a glimmer of hope, his cheeks immediately turned red with excitement, "I will definitely know everything!"
"Hmm." Chen Xiao snorted without any emotion, "Do you know Chongshan Immortal Palace?"
The little leader nodded repeatedly: "I know! I know!"
"Okay, tell me everything you know." Chen Xiao glanced around, and Huang Keran cleverly found him a chair. Chen Xiao flicked his clothes and sat down in a very cool and elegant manner.
The evil leader was frightened by Chen Xiao's aura and really thought that the person in front of him was some big shot of the Taoist sect, so he told him everything he knew.
"Speaking of the Chongshan Immortal Palace, everyone in our Guangji Great Heaven Realm knows about it! As early as a hundred years ago, a war was triggered by the Chongshan Immortal Palace. At that time, many of our evil cultivators and ancestors were killed or injured. As a result, no one could enter the gate of the palace, and then the war was over. Because this matter caused a lot of uproar, even a small place like ours knows the affairs of the Chongshan Immortal Palace very well. Without mastering the skills inherited from Chongshan, there is no way to open the gate of the Chongshan Immortal Palace."
It was the first time that Xiao Junjie and the other two heard these inside stories, and they couldn't help but be attracted to them.
Chen Xiao waved his hand and said bluntly: "Don't talk about these outdated news. Tell us something new! If you only know these old news, it won't be enough to save your life."
The little leader was startled and said in panic, "Yes, yes, yes! It is said that many big sects and big forces, such as Jinxi Palace, Wumo Xiezun, Hongfu Pavilion, etc., have sent people to search for Chongshan's inheritance everywhere. However, Chongshan practices the orthodox skills, and the inheritance is mostly spread in the areas of Taoism. The harvest is not great, so no one has been able to open Chongshan's fairy palace."
Chen Xiao touched his chin with his fingers and couldn't help but think of Bai Jiguang. He thought that the person behind him was one of the forces mentioned by the little leader.
The little leader looked up at Chen Xiao's face cautiously, and seeing that he had no expression on his face, he groaned in his heart. It seemed that this man was still not interested in the news.
He racked his brains and said, "Because the fairy palace cannot be opened, people's interest in it has gradually decreased. As a result, I don't know how the news spread to the Taoists... no, to the grandfathers. Since last year, groups of grandfathers have come from the Dao Realm."
"Puchi." Huang Keran was amused by his grandfather's constant talking. Even Chen Xiao raised the corners of his lips in amusement.
"Okay. Ke Ran, give him paper and pen, and ask him to draw a rough map of Guangji, clearly marking all the forces near Chongshan Immortal Palace." Chen Xiao said.
"Yes, Master." Huang Keran responded, then led the man aside, took out paper and pen and asked him to draw.
Chen Xiao raised his chin towards Xiao Junjie and said, "Bring another person over."
Xiao Junjie pulled another captive over from among the prisoners. As usual, Chen Xiao scared him first and then asked him to tell the truth in exchange for a chance to live.
This prisoner, like the little leader just now, did as he was told without any hesitation.
The next few people did the same thing, and the questions they asked were mostly similar. These minions basically operated in this small piece of land and only knew these widely circulated things.
The living environment of evil cultivators and Taoist cultivators is completely different. There is no force like Zhishitang that can issue tasks, organize manpower, and collect various information.
Most of the evil cultivators fought for themselves and lived in their own territories. Without advanced cultivation, they dared not go out to travel, which led to the fact that the evil cultivators at the bottom, who had no sect or school, had no way out except cheating, deceiving and robbing.
"How about the map they drew?" Chen Xiao asked his little apprentice.
Huang Keran handed over several maps and said, "The general terrain is the same. The location of Chongshan Fairy Palace is a little different, but the direction is the same."
Chen Xiao looked at a few very simple maps and couldn't help but sigh, "Without comparison, I don't know how much contribution Zhishitang has made to the world of cultivation."
Huang Keran also said: "I never knew that the evil realm was like this before."
However, Chen Xiao said: "This is called the survival of the fittest. The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker. Don't take it lightly. These small minions at the bottom are completely different from the evil cultivators who have developed with plenty of resources." Think about the evil cultivators he has met, which one of them is not powerful.
