"Brother, you're walking too fast. I can't keep up!" Chen Zhou said helplessly. It was only because of his high physical fitness that he had managed to keep up with Su Feng for a short distance. Otherwise, if it were a small merchant, he would have been left far behind by Su Feng long ago.
"Ah! I wasn't paying attention, I'm so sorry! Hurry up and catch up!" Su Feng urged again.
Chen Zhou could only nod, then immediately quickened his pace to catch up. He even started running, and quickly returned to Su Feng's side.
Su Feng then controlled his speed, bringing it to a level similar to Chen Zhou's. However, Chen Zhou was using all his strength to keep up, and Su Feng couldn't keep up this pace for long.
While traveling, Chen Zhou did not forget to pay attention to the changes in his surroundings. What Chen Zhou found strange was that he always felt that someone was watching them from the shadows.
So Chen Zhou looked around every few minutes, but found nothing. He was frustrated because he couldn't use his true energy; otherwise, his detection power would have covered the surrounding area long ago. A sudden unease welled up in Chen Zhou's heart, an emotion that lingered within him, one he could clearly feel.
"Elder Ren, is there anyone around here? I can clearly sense an uneasy feeling. Is something about to happen?" Chen Zhou immediately asked Elder Ren in his mental world.
"How would I know? I'm not a prophet," Ren Lao said, his eyes wide.
“We’re almost at my Su Long Sect. Don’t say anything, I’ll take you there,” Su Feng suddenly said to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou hung his head, pondering the unease in his heart. This was the first time in his life that Chen Zhou had felt such panic, causing him to keep looking around, as if something was watching him.
However, Chen Zhou just couldn't figure out what it was. For a moment, he really wanted to use his true energy to probe his surroundings; the feeling was unbearable. Fortunately, he held back. He couldn't afford any trouble now that he was approaching the Su Long Sect. It seemed that once he passed through the Su Long Sect, he would be on his way down the mountain, and after that, he would have nothing to do with the Su Long Sect.
As the mountain path gradually narrowed, a very wide mountaintop appeared before Chen Zhou. It could be said that this mountaintop was about the size of a medium-sized village.
The first thing that caught Chen Zhou's eye was a massive mountain gate, above which were written the four characters "Su Long Sect" using an array. Indeed, it was written using an array. This was the first time Chen Zhou had ever seen such a mountain gate. The four characters corresponded to four simple arrays, and Chen Zhou could easily discern the four key points of each array without using his eye techniques.
It was just that Chen Zhou had never seen such an idea before, and he found it very novel.
Since the four large characters on the mountain gate were composed of an array, they immediately piqued Chen Zhou's interest, and he began to examine the gate carefully.
This gate was made of thick wood. Chen Zhou couldn't tell what kind of wood it was, but he could tell that the wood was so thick that it would take two people to hug the thick pieces of wood at both ends of the gate.
Next is the plaque with the words "array" engraved on it, and there is a dragon-shaped carving at each end of the plaque.
This is the gate of the Sulong Sect.
"Come with me, don't be nervous. They are all very nice people and won't do anything to you. I will get you there safely." Su Feng saw that Chen Zhou looked scared and uneasy, so he immediately said, trying to calm Chen Zhou down.
If Chen Zhou had visited the Su Long Cult in this state, it was simply too exaggerated. Su Feng felt that his cult wasn't actually that terrifying! This human hadn't done anything wrong; he was just passing through. Why was he showing such a fearful expression?
"Brother, I don't know why, but I feel very uneasy, which is why I'm acting so scared. Could you please help me get through quickly? This feeling is even making me feel a little suffocated," Chen Zhou said, sounding very distressed.
“Okay. I’ll get you through quickly,” Su Feng said.
As they spoke, the two quickly arrived at the gate of the Su Long Sect. The gate was open, as Su Feng guarded the path up the mountain, preventing unauthorized personnel from entering. This lowered the vigilance of those who opened the gate, which was often left unclosed.
Therefore, once someone is let in through Su Feng, that person can enter the Su Long Sect without any hindrance.
"Su Feng, who is this?" As soon as they entered the gate, a person dressed in animal skins walked over. The only difference between this person and Su Feng was that his face was covered with patterns that Chen Zhou had never seen before. He immediately looked at him curiously.
“Brother Su Cang, this is a small merchant who needs to travel from our Su Long Mountain. So I activated the sect's grand formation to escort him up and down the mountain. His family has fallen on hard times, and he is traveling alone from the South to the North. He is so pitiful.” Su Feng immediately explained, and Chen Zhou saw Su Cang nod repeatedly.
"From the Southern Kingdom? The Central Desert and the Ghost Path are not places that ordinary people can pass through. This person has no aura and seems to have no strength, so how did he manage to cross the Central Desert and the Ghost Path? You dare to bring such a person of unknown origin into the Su Long Sect? Haven't the lessons from the last few times taught you to distinguish between the real and the fake?!" Su Cang's sudden angry words left Su Feng speechless.
To Chen Zhou's surprise, the moment he entered the Su Long Sect, his unease vanished, and the feeling of being watched disappeared immediately. He felt much lighter. Chen Zhou glanced behind him with a tremor in his heart, then looked directly at Su Cang.
The pressure from the tidal wave of true energy emanating from Su Cang's body seemed to be pressing Chen Zhou down to his knees.
