"Why do you say that?" Chen Zhou had just woken up, and his mind was completely blank. He didn't want to think too much and just wanted to listen quietly to Ren Lao's analysis.
"The mysterious figure from the vampire clan has already set off and is probably back in the West by now. If this matter is reported to the vampire clan, it will surely incur their wrath. Who do you think will suffer then? Since the vampire clan has a rule that all geniuses in affiliated sects must plant the Blood Demon Seed, their sect dared to violate this rule and secretly send a genius who is one in a thousand years to cultivate in the Southern Kingdom. This matter will definitely not end well."
Master Ren analyzed the situation logically and methodically.
As Chen Zhou listened to Ren Lao's analysis while walking, he felt as if he were jogging and listening to the radio in his previous life.
"That's none of our business anymore, that's their business. Our problem now is to find the Ghost Path...wait...what's that?" As Chen Zhou walked, he suddenly noticed a pill not far ahead, which was emitting an unusual light.
That's the Transformation and Enlightenment Pill!
Chen Zhou immediately moved and appeared next to the pill, picking it up instantly.
"Did Ji Lanying leave this behind?" Chen Zhou asked curiously. The next moment, when Chen Zhou looked up again, he found another pill not far ahead.
Chen Zhou reappeared in front of the pill, picked it up, and discovered it was an enhanced version of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Could it be used as a guide again?" Chen Zhou said, and immediately saw another pill not far ahead. So Chen Zhou continued forward, and when he reached the last pill, he found that a road had suddenly appeared in front of him.
This road was clearly carved out by humans; it must be the ghost path that Ji Lanying mentioned.
"There are seven enhanced Foundation Establishment Pills and three True Transformation Pills here. Ji Lanying's generosity is as extravagant as ever... She's using pills to guide me again," Chen Zhou muttered.
"I think there's an element of wanting to repay you, after all, you risked your life to save them," Elder Ren said.
"Never mind, as long as I make a profit, that's all that matters." Chen Zhou said nonchalantly. For those who want to advance from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Enlightenment stage, the Transformation and Enlightenment Pill is essential. Although he didn't know how many he needed, it wouldn't hurt to have some on hand. So Chen Zhou found a few boxes in his storage ring and put the enhanced Foundation Establishment Pills and the Transformation and Enlightenment Pills together.
Then Chen Zhou embarked on the Ghost Path, heading towards the Northern Kingdom.
As Chen Zhou walked, he looked up at the sky. The black mist above the Black Mist Swamp had completely disappeared. Chen Zhou wondered if this place should be renamed. Since the black mist had dissipated, it couldn't be called the Black Mist Swamp anymore, could it?
"I never imagined that my journey would lead me to rid the people of a scourge. Everyone said this Black Mist Swamp was very dangerous, but now that the black mist has dissipated, doesn't that mean this place has become safer?" Chen Zhou thought to himself as he walked.
Little did they know that this news had already reached the royal families of both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. The black mist in the Black Mist Swamp dissipated, shocking many people.
Once the danger of the Black Mist Swamp is confirmed, exchanges between the Northern and Southern Kingdoms will definitely become more frequent, which will create a sense of crisis for both the West and the East.
Thinking about this, Chen Zhou suddenly understood why the vampires would station people in the Black Mist Swamp.
The main reason for this is probably to sever communication between the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. Originally, the Western vampires were not afraid of either the Northern or Southern Kingdoms, but if the two countries communicated too frequently and cooperated, they would become a force that the Western vampires would fear.
This is not to say how many strong people there are in the Southern Kingdom. On the contrary, the Southern Kingdom has always been an existence that the Western vampires have never taken seriously. The key is public opinion. If they want to maintain a dominant position for a long time, they need public opinion.
The Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom are the most populous countries on the Tianyun Continent. To rule the Tianyun Continent, the first thing one needs is the recognition of the residents of these two countries.
"Very good. You are so young yet you can think of such a great power struggle. Not bad at all." Ren Lao couldn't help but praise him after hearing Chen Zhou's words in his mind.
Chen Zhou pursed his lips helplessly. Isn't this just a matter of having a brain? The more he listened, the more he felt that Mr. Ren was mocking him.
Walking along the Ghost Path for an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhou finally reached the end. At the end, there was a small stone tablet with the words "Ghost Path" written on it, and next to it was a sign that read: "Danger here, please proceed according to your ability."
This was undoubtedly a reminder to the merchants of the Northern Kingdom. Chen Zhou paused for a moment before passing the stone tablet and continuing forward.
A wide road now appeared ahead, but Chen Zhou naturally did not intend to take it. Many merchants from the North and South would pass by on the road, and there might even be bandits. Chen Zhou did not want to get involved in these disputes, so it was better to take another route.
Little did they know that just moments before Chen Zhou left the Black Mist Swamp, multiple forces immediately entered the Black Mist Swamp.
Among them was even Huang Gong, whom Chen Zhou knew, who led a team into the area.
There were two other groups that Chen Zhou had never seen before; they had both quietly entered the Black Mist Swamp.
Chen Zhou passed through the black mist swamp and came to see the northern mountain range. The map clearly stated that the mountain range ahead was called the Wolong Mountain Range.
