The Black Abyss Prison.

The Tenth Squad is back.

Although it was not perfect, it traversed the border areas and tore through the haze. Even when it encountered an ambush afterwards, it did not show any signs of decline. It was like a sword that was dripping blood, and its edge was revealed in its cruelty.

Chen Sheng ordered Zhao Da and others to recuperate, while he went to see the warden alone.

"how's it going?"

The warden's expression remained the same, extremely cold and hard, and he looked like a stone statue carved out of the Black Mountains, but his eyes fell on Chen Sheng with a hint of expectation.

The water in the Rooster Case is very deep, and it is aimed at the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, so we must pay attention to it.

“It’s a big deal.”

Mr. Chen arrived slowly, and from Chayang to Fairy Yiyuan, and then to the spies arranged by Fairy Yiyuan, he formed a big net.

As for Fairy Yiyuan, she is just a visible figure, a casual cultivator without any faction.

He talked about Meng Guan, who had profound magical powers and was a top figure in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and also about a mysterious man who took action in the end to eliminate all traces.

These two people are already extraordinary, but they may not be the source of the Rooster Case.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The warden was silent. The Rooster Case was just as he thought, or even more complicated.

Afterwards, he praised Chen Sheng greatly, saying that he was indeed a talented person as he was able to repel the enemy and bring back intelligence in such a situation.

"Where did those two come from?"

The warden whispered, not expecting Chen Sheng to give an answer. He pondered alone, trying to clear away the layers of fog and get to the final truth.

"Zi Xi and the cultivators of Langya Immortal Sect, there is no doubt about their aura."

Mr. Chen spoke out the answer in his mind. He had had contact with them before and had fought with cultivators from Zi Xi and Lang Ya Immortal Sect, so he was not unfamiliar with them.

"Are you sure?"

The warden's eyes flashed. As someone who had experienced it personally, Chen Sheng's words were naturally much more credible.

However, the two answers from the two major immortal sects, Zi Xi and Lang Ya, are a bit heavy.

“That’s for sure.”

Mr. Chen said firmly.

"Two major immortal sects? Are they going to have a problem with my Guangxiu Immortal Sect?"

The warden sighed, accepted the answer, and said to Chen Sheng, "This matter should be kept secret."

In fact, this is not difficult to guess.

The Guangxiu Immortal Sect is high and mighty, and even though it has been in decline in recent years, it is still unshakable. Except for the four who are also from the Immortal Sect, anyone else will die.

However, he was guessing which immortal sect was taking action against the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, but he didn't expect that two of them would appear at once.

And these may not be all the immortal sects involved.

It seems that the war that took place nearly a hundred years ago had far-reaching consequences, continuing to this day and has never really ended.

"I know that."

Mr. Chen nodded. Any news that may affect the overall stability will be blocked.

…

The warden sorted out the rooster case, reported the specific case, and secretly paid attention to the top leaders of Zi Xi and Lang Ya sects.

Of course, he didn't get any specific news, but he did learn that a big figure of the Zi Xi Immortal Sect had passed away, which made him feel very sad.

Maybe it was because Mr. Chen did a great job in the rooster case, or maybe the warden had some inquiring intentions towards Mr. Chen.

In the following period of time, Mr. Chen met with the warden frequently, and the two gradually became familiar with each other and developed a friendship.

Because of the contact, the warden discovered how powerful Chen Sheng was. His understanding of cultivating immortals and his analysis of human hearts and nature were all viewed from an extremely high level.

Such a person, if devoted to practicing Taoism, can become a free and easy immortal; if obsessed with scheming, can hold power and govern a region.

"You've been pretty close to the warden during this time."

Yang Huayue came.

In Area A11, he waited for Chen Sheng, feeling somewhat envious. He had caught the warden's eye, and it felt like he was really going to succeed the throne.

"Is there anything strange about this?"

Mr. Chen looked calm. With his rich experience, he could always attract some like-minded people.

This is the accumulation of time. It cannot be learned or asked for. When it really comes, one will feel a little sad and sigh.

"The warden is a very cold and hard man."

In Yang Huayue's mind, the warden is a cold and hard man who has sat in a high position for many years. He seems to be the embodiment of the will of the Black Abyss Prison, high above and untouchable.

They are the captain of the Dark Blade Team. Although they are quite capable, they are still far behind the Captain Warden.

"He can be a little dull sometimes, but he's quite talkative when it comes to things that interest him."

Mr. Chen said fairly.

"I understand!"

Yang Huayue felt a little powerless. Some things, like talent, cannot be learned.

For example, he felt that the warden was very profound, and he would unconsciously feel awe in his heart. Once he was in awe, he could not communicate with him on an equal footing.

But these are exactly what Mr. Chen does not have.

"Yang Li has been tempered this time. You can give him some advice if you have time."

Mr. Chen did not dwell on this, but mentioned Yang Li, a member of Yang Huayue's clan who had not been killed in the rooster case. After going through the baptism, he became calm and restrained. I think he will be able to stand on his own in three to five years.

This kind of major case is extremely dangerous, and being able to survive it is indeed extremely physically and mentally demanding.

“He’s growing up very fast.”

This is worth being happy about. Yang Huayue also felt that this tribe member was changing day by day, and it was the right decision for him to join the Tenth Team.

Then, he thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he said sourly, "Your position in his heart has become higher and higher."

In the past, he was the peak in Yang Li’s heart, majestic and upright, with a bit of sacred reverence.

Now the person in charge has changed, it’s Mr. Chen, which makes him feel a little depressed.

"Prestige?"

Mr. Chen whispered that he had never won people's hearts, but when he stood high, he was as bright as the sun, and it was normal for all things to follow the sun.

"Don't mention it, you are so comfortable being the captain, it's a bit enviable."

Yang Huayue soon left behind this sour feeling, and even imitated Yang Li, looking at Chen Sheng with admiration.

He envied Mr. Chen's current situation.

He has the sincere support of the Tenth Squad, the favor of the Warden, his own powerful means, and the prestige that awes people.

Not to mention the future, just talking about these days, it is extremely comfortable.

"I hope no one jumps out to trip me up."

Chen Sheng had a point. He was not afraid of being envied if he lived too well, but he also did not want to create unnecessary trouble.

"That's not the case yet."

Yang Huayue shook his head and even felt that Mr. Chen underestimated him. It was good enough that he didn't mess with others.

…

A bright pearl emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the deep room, making it as bright as day, without a trace of gloom. It was hard to imagine that this was the deepest part of the Black Abyss Prison.

Two figures were sitting on the stone chairs, somewhat leisurely. One of them looked young, but had deep eyebrows and pupils like stars, giving a feeling of having been through the years.

These two people are very harmonious and can talk to each other, so they won't let the room be quiet.

"How about this notebook?"

The warden took out a notebook from the drawer. The paper was white and smooth. It was not an ancient book. He placed it in front of Chen Sheng with a hint of exploration.

"rare."

Mr. Chen looked calm as he flipped through the notebook. What was recorded on it was a journey of the heart. The young man was determined and not afraid of difficulties. He walked along the way, stumbling but never getting discouraged. Even after falling many times, he developed a tough and hard will, and finally broke through his own limitations and achieved a state of overlooking.

If he were to say so, the owner of the note really had a heart as hard as iron. He stood firm, broke through all obstacles and achieved a high position.

"Why is it so difficult?"

There was a glimmer in the warden's eyes, and he wanted to know what Chen Sheng thought of the letter.

“You wrote this, didn’t you?”

Mr. Chen didn't even raise his head and continued flipping through the book, but he saw something.

"You figured it out."

The warden was a little surprised, but then he was relieved. Mr. Chen was not an ordinary person. His knowledge and experience had long exceeded the limitations of his age.

And this is also the reason why he and Mr. Chen were chatting happily.

"No matter how difficult the road is, we will eventually make it through. We must be fearless and have a heart as strong as iron."

Chen Sheng finally put down the letter, his eyes dim. The road to immortality is a thorny one. Without a firm heart, one cannot cope with the ruthlessness of time, nor can one withstand the unprovoked disasters. All kinds of things are trials.

"yes."

The warden nodded repeatedly. Mr. Chen understood him and explained his journey clearly.

After saying this, he fell into reminiscence. Mr. Chen did not disturb him, and two quarters of an hour passed like this.

After waking up, the warden didn't say much, just said: "There was a conflict between the second and third teams, you go to mediate, casually."

There was a sense of relief in his words, as if he had put down a burden and could finally take a rest.

…

Deep in the Black Abyss Prison, a sword mark divided the two areas. Two dark blade teams, one on the left and one on the right, led by their respective captains, faced each other.

In the darkness, figures sat one after another, looking extremely solemn, like half-exposed sword blades, somewhat restrained but not completely calm.

At the front were the two teams with the highest levels of cultivation. Both were young men, one looked honest and the other looked kind, but at this moment both showed their sharp edges.

"The second team must take the Shiling Secret Realm."

Ling Jian stretched his body, and a hint of toughness emerged on his honest face, like a strong tiger with a heavy aura.

On the other side, Su Lin did not tolerate it at all and said, "It just so happens that the third team must do it."

The confrontation between the two men was caused by a coincidence.

Because of the same information, the second team and the third team arrived at the entrance of the secret realm at the same time. At that time, both of them were very restrained, thinking in their hearts that they were colleagues, so they simply split the information in half and became friends.

Later, when the secret realm was opened, he saw a large number of mushroom grass and almost twisted his opponent's brain off.

Too careless! This Junshen Grass is a precious spiritual grass that is almost extinct in the outside world. If converted, it is a huge amount of cultivation resources.

In the face of huge interests, a little face is not worth much.

All of a sudden, they became stiff. If they were not both Dark Blade members and had the warden above them, they would have already started a fight.

"You two, I don't know what kind of conflict exists."

Suddenly, a voice was heard, and someone walked into the battleground.

He was dressed in a black robe, had black hair, his deep eyes sparkled with light, and his gentle eyebrows revealed a faint smile, which made people feel no dislike for him.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Ling Jian and Su Lin stood up and bowed to Mr. Chen, showing great respect.

"Meet the Lord!"

Dozens of Dark Blade monks from the two teams temporarily put aside their fierce and aggressive attitude and saluted Chen Sheng.

Everyone is familiar with this person.

In other words, he was very envious of the wealth of the Tenth Team, especially in the last rooster case. He didn't know what they found out, but the warden actually made an exception and reported to the Immortal Sect, approving them to give him the resources for cultivation.

This is a kind of honor. As a "private soldier" of the Black Abyss Prison, one suddenly becomes "orthodox".

"Because of the dispute over the Jun Shencao, we are now waiting for the warden's decision."

Ling Jian knew that Chen Sheng had a wide network of contacts, including Kuang Shucheng from the First Team, Yang Huayue from the Ninth Team, and he even stuffed all his clansmen into the Tenth Team.

Huang Sheng from the fifth team and He Chao from the seventh team also have concerns, so it's really a four-way thing.

He didn't want to offend such a capable and resourceful person, so he spoke very politely.

"The warden asked me to handle it."

Mr. Chen stated his purpose directly, as he did not want the two teams to mistakenly think that they were there to watch the fun.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, good trick."

Hearing this, Ling Jian was silent. After two breaths, he spoke, showing great admiration.

"Has it been decided?"

Su Lin was even more direct and asked Mr. Chen whether he was the designated next warden. After all, the relationship between the two was very close, and it felt like they were giving instructions in person.

Sometimes, Mr. Chen went to the warden's place and stayed there for half a day. No one knew what happened, but there were many guesses.

"It's just a simple ruling, don't think too much about it."

Mr. Chen shook his head, but when he thought about it carefully, the warden's transfer might have this meaning.

"Chen Daoyou..."

Ling Jian's mind raced, and he came to Chen Sheng's side and whispered, "I can choose not to fight for other things, but the benefits of the Jun Shen Grass are too great. If I don't fight for it, how will the monks under my command see me? You have to consider me."

He expressed his opinion in a soft tone, stating a fact: the two teams were competing and cultivation resources were involved. If one team retreated, people's morale would be lost and it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.

"Don't speak so quietly."

Su Lin's face was full of righteousness. He scolded Ling Jian so much that he retreated. Then he turned around and moved closer, saying, "Brother, help me."

As long as Mr. Chen agrees to it, the Third Team will not remain indifferent and will escort him on his future journey to become the warden.

This was not purely because of the matter of the Shiling Secret Realm, but also because of his advance bet, believing that Chen Sheng would be able to take the position of warden and be promoted to his confidant.

"How much do you know about the Junshen Grass?"

Mr. Chen took two steps back, stood on the sword mark dividing the left and right, faced everyone, and asked a question that was both relevant and irrelevant.

"The Junshen Grass is a magical herb, so it is naturally precious."

Ling Jian was puzzled, but still spoke seriously.

"You don't even know why the Jun Shencao is so famous, yet you dare to argue with me."

Su Lin held his head high and looked at Ling Jian with a look of pride that a scholar has for an illiterate person, but he didn't go too far. He explained, "Jungshen grass and medicinal food go very well together."

Junshencao is a magical herb that is almost extinct in the outside world.

It goes very well with medicinal food, the most famous of which is the "Mushroom God Banquet". It is said to be able to "harmony the inner breath and sense the spirit", and it has attracted people from all over the world to seek it.

With the extinction of the Jun Shen grass, the name of the Jun Shen Banquet also disappeared, existing only in the books but not in reality.

"Well said."

Mr. Chen clapped his hands.
