Chapter 17 Chivalry Builds the Foundation of Taoism



Hiss, hiss, hiss…

On the official road, the young knight galloped on his horse. It was not known whether it was the biting wind that made his face pale, or the injuries on his body that made him feel uncomfortable.

It was Hua Yuncang who came next. He was on the road and heard about the immortal sect's campaign against the devil. He was excited and was thinking about how he could serve.

Later, he changed his mind after discovering that the so-called Two Demons of the North were actually his benefactor in Zhuangyuan Building that day.

Between his benefactor and the unfamiliar immortal sect, he chose to believe his benefactor.

Deducing from this, it turned out that the immortal sects were all confounding right and wrong, so he simply gave up asking for it.

Then, for the sake of chivalry in his heart, he set out on a journey, killed two horses, stayed up for a day and a night, and finally arrived at Tieji Ridge before everyone else.

He wanted to tell his benefactor that the world had changed, and the three major immortal sects outside were full of murderous intent, so it was time to stay away from them for a while.

There are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in Tieji Ridge, and there are also monsters hiding. Going deep into them to look for people is not only dangerous, but also very difficult, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hua Yuncang rushed in headfirst and almost lost his way. Unfortunately, he was targeted by a monster. It was a bloodthirsty rat, the size of a wild dog, but its teeth could bite through gold and iron, and its fur was tough and could not be hurt by swords.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

The blood-thirsty rat's blood-red eyes stared at Hua Yuncang, flashing with excitement. This young knight had vigorous blood and no magic to protect himself, so he was a rare tonic.

It launched an attack at a very fast speed, like a rolling stone, and soon came in front of Hua Yuncang and swung out with a claw.

"Are all monsters so powerful?"

As soon as the bloodthirsty rat made a move, Hua Yuncang secretly groaned. Cultivating immortals can really allow species to break the shackles of life and achieve the goal of transcendent evolution.

He could feel that the combat power of this bloodthirsty rat had reached the peak of the Bone Refining Realm.

bite.

Hua Yuncang didn't dare to touch the monster's claws with his fists or feet, so he swung his sword horizontally and slashed across the bloodthirsty beast's neck.

His sword was one of the rare magical weapons in the martial arts world, but it was unable to cut the neck of the bloodthirsty beast. It only left a faint white mark on the skin.

"squeak!"

The bloodthirsty beast also knew that its neck had been cut. Although it was not fatal, it seemed to be insulted. Its eyes became more and more blood red, and the fur on its body exploded.

It came like a red lightning, and just as Hua Yuncang was about to swing his sword, his robe was torn, leaving several bloody marks on his chest.

It was fortunate that Hua Yuncang reacted quickly and retreated a fist's distance, otherwise he would have been killed.

"Adding insult to injury, if you continue to delay, you will only be dragged to death."

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The wound he suffered from Taoist Ziyun had not yet fully healed, and when he arrived at Tieji Ridge, he was taught a lesson by another evil beast.

This put his fighting power in a weakened state. After thinking it over, he turned around and ran away quickly.

"squeak!"

The bloodthirsty rat naturally did not want to miss this feast, and chased after him desperately. Its body shape was very suitable for explosive running, and it rushed very fast, gradually catching up with Hua Yuncang.

"Flowing Wind Step."

The reason why Hua Yuncang was able to escape from the hands of Taoist Ziyun for many days was because of his first-class martial arts footwork.

He took out the things that had been stored at the bottom of the box. His feet seemed to be walking on air, light and nimble, with wind around him, as if the wind was carrying him as he ran.

The distance widened again.

squeak.

squeak.

squeak.

The bloodthirsty rat became anxious and made sharp cries, showing its anxiety and obvious contempt, as if it wanted to lure Hua Yuncang back in a provocative way.

"Wait, I will come and deal with you when my power increases greatly."

Hua Yuncang was also a man who liked to show off his abilities. He would rather lose the battle than the opponent. He kicked up two buckets of dirt under his feet, making the bloodthirsty rat behind him covered in dust.

Hua Yuncang almost fell down. His body was extremely tired and he wanted to lie down and sleep for a whole day and night. But he was a man of determination after all. He quickly straightened himself up and started looking for Chen Ergou and the other man.

Tieji Ridge is very large, so large that if Hua Yuncang fell down, there would be no waves.

He was searching so hard that he almost doubted his life. There were many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains. He was considered a graceful and elegant young man, but after only a day and a half, he became like a savage.

"Hold on for two more days. If I still can't find it by then, I'll give up. That will be considered as my best effort."

Hua Yuncang said this to himself.

It's not that they give up after two days, but the time is up. By then, the people from the Immortal Sect will have already started sealing off the mountains and blocking the roads. Even if the benefactor knew the news, it would be useless.

Two days.

After Hua Yuncang set his goal, he became more determined. He climbed over mountains and even ran to the cliff where monsters lived. He looked down from above, hoping to see something.

After climbing to the top many times, he came down disappointed.

Until...

This time, he didn't look at it with hope, and subconsciously wanted to get off.

Then, his movements froze, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, he took another look, his heart was beating, and he shouted: "My benefactor, I... I finally found you..."

Above the treetops, a disheveled, four-limbed creature let out a shrill roar.

This was what Chen Sheng saw. If it were not human words, he would have thought it was some kind of spirit monkey.

"The young man I met in Zhuangyuan Building was called... Hua Yuncang."

From the words he read, he thought that this was Hua Yuncang. However, the Hua Yuncang he saw that day, even though he was being chased by immortal cultivators, he still looked like a graceful young man.

How come he has turned into this savage appearance now?

"Hufeng Temple, together with Jinding Sect and Huangfeng Valley, issued a hunting order for the two heroes of the North. I was afraid that you would be assassinated after learning about it, so I came to report the news. However, Tieji Ridge is vast and I was running around everywhere. I was about to give up, but I didn't expect that the heavens would bless the good people and let me find you after all."

After three or four breaths, Hua Yuncang had come down from the hundreds of years old tree. He ran to Chen Sheng and the other man, his face revealing excitement.

What a sudden turn of events, it’s God’s will.

He told Chen Sheng and the other man about the pursuit by the three major immortal sects, and asked them to run away quickly and not to be blocked.

"Brother Hua is a man of high integrity. Immortal Sect needs upright people like you."

Hearing that Hu Fengguan was confusing right and wrong, Chen Sheng's expression was indifferent. Knowing that there was a hunting order, his emotions did not fluctuate. He just looked at Hua Yuncang with eyes full of admiration.

This is a true knight.

He killed the son of the county magistrate and was hunted down by Taoist Ziyun. It might be because he was ignorant and fearless, and did not know how terrible the immortal cultivators were.

After experiencing this, he knew that his benefactor was being hunted, but he still dared to risk the world's condemnation and rushed into Tieji Ridge to report the news, acting against the will of the three immortal sects.

That is...

Knowing the danger, he resolutely fought for the greater good in his heart and was willing to die for it. This is truly a noble character.

"I don't have any destiny."

Hua Yuncang seemed to have let it go. This time, for the sake of justice in his heart, he offended the three major immortal sects. There was no hope for Chen State to cultivate immortality.

Without any connections or resources, he was just a young knight in the martial arts world, completely in the dark, so where could he go to seek immortality?

Time is unforgiving. Even if you find it later, you will be old.

"Brother Sheng said you have it, so you have it."

Chen Ergou glanced at Hua Yuncang and agreed with Chen Sheng's proposal.

Hua Yuncang is a good person with a firm determination, and he may become the second Zhao Tianyang.
