Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Wearing the Mask of Sentience and disguised as Jia Chen, Zhou Hao Chen came to West Ox Mountain once again.

Last time, he obtained the Earth Core Fire Thunder Qi in West Ox Mountain.

This time, a Spiritual Xuan Ginseng appeared in West Ox Mountain.

What a treasure land!

Zhou Hao Chen sighed with emotion.

A moment later, Yi Si arrived. The two glanced at each other without exchanging a word, silently waiting for the arrival of the Taotie.

About an incense stick's worth of time passed before a black shadow flashed, and a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion appeared before them.

This person was the Taotie.

However, the Taotie's expression was somewhat stiff, most likely due to wearing a human skin mask.

"This operation is of great importance. More than a hundred people are participating, including ten Reverends besides me."

Reverend is a rank within the Xuanyuan Blood.

Generally, those with Divine Beast codenames are Reverends.

People like Taotie, Kui Niu, and Kun Peng are all Reverends.

Of course, the gap between Reverends is extremely large.

Moreover, according to the ranking of the various Divine Beasts, the Four Symbols and Four Fiends are generally at the top.

Taotie is only one of the Four Fiends, yet he possesses the strength of the Upper Three Realms.

The others are probably not much weaker than Taotie!

Hiss—

Analyzing to this point, Zhou Hao Chen couldn't help but gasp.

The strength of the Xuanyuan Blood is unexpectedly powerful!

"This time's target is the Spiritual Xuan Ginseng. The Spiritual Xuan Ginseng has already developed intelligence and is very cunning. With your strength, you most likely won't be able to catch it."

"If you discover the Spiritual Xuan Ginseng, remember to notify me immediately. Don't let the other Reverends know."

Taotie said to Zhou Hao Chen and Yi Si with a solemn tone, clearly indicating that Taotie had his own plans for this operation.

Did he intend to consume this Spiritual Xuan Ginseng himself, or offer it to the leader of the Xuanyuan Blood?

This remained unknown.

After waiting for a moment, the Thousand Mile Communication Jade Stone of Taotie suddenly burst out with frequent flashes.

Looking down at it, he immediately revealed an excited expression.

"There are traces of the Spiritual Xuan Ginseng at Flat Top Peak."

"We'll split up."

"Remember, the Spiritual Xuan Ginseng is proficient in earth escape techniques and is very vigilant. At the slightest disturbance, it will遁into the earth."

"If you encounter the Spiritual Xuan Ginseng, do not act rashly. Notify me immediately."

After giving instructions, Taotie transformed into a beam of escaping light and flew towards the east.

On the contrary, Zhou Hao Chen and Yi Si remained rooted to the spot with great understanding, without moving immediately.

Zhou Hao Chen slightly closed his eyes, activating the Eight Trigrams Diagram and slightly releasing the suppression of the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet.

A trace of the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet leaked out.

Of course, it was only a trace. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Hao Chen re-sealed the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet.

Although the seal was only released for a moment, Zhou Hao Chen believed that the three Upper Three Realms elders of the Divine Firmament Sect would definitely sense the aura of the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet.

It wouldn't be long before the people of the Divine Firmament Sect would rush to West Ox Mountain.

Thinking of this, a sly smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Zhou Hao Chen's mouth.

Immediately afterward, his brow felt scorching hot, and golden light bloomed from the Eight Trigrams Diagram, with the hexagrams appearing in his eyes.

[Water Wind: Superior Luck, disobey Taotie's order and go to East Screen Peak, obtain a Rank Three opportunity, risk-free and without worries, great fortune.]

[Marsh Thunder: Moderate Luck, disobey Taotie's order and stay where you are, observe the subsequent development of the situation, no gain and no risk, neutral.]

[Fire Mountain: Inferior Luck, obey Taotie's order and go to Flat Top Peak, good fortune will bring a Rank Four opportunity, misfortune will involve you in a multi-party war, putting you in danger, nine deaths and one life, great misfortune.]

Seeing the three hexagrams, Zhou Hao Chen's eyes narrowed, revealing a pensive expression.

The hexagram of Inferior Luck pointed to Flat Top Peak, exactly the same as Taotie's statement. Obviously, the Rank Four opportunity in the Inferior Luck referred to the Spiritual Xuan Ginseng.

Being involved in a multi-party war further convinced Zhou Hao Chen that the Divine Firmament Sect had sensed the aura of the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet and was rushing towards West Ox Mountain.

The location where the great war would erupt was Flat Top Peak.

On the contrary, the Superior Luck hexagram was beyond Zhou Hao Chen's expectations.

A Rank Three opportunity!

West Ox Mountain was truly a treasure land. In addition to the Rank Four opportunity of the Spiritual Xuan Ginseng, there was actually a Rank Three opportunity at the same time.

Go to Flat Top Peak?

Only a fool would go to Flat Top Peak!

Divine Firmament Sect, Xuanyuan Blood, you guys fight fiercely.

The fiercer the fight, the better!

It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses, and their bodies and souls perished!

Yi Si silently observed Zhou Hao Chen. Seeing the sly smile on Zhou Hao Chen's face, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"What kind of mischief are you plotting?" Yi Si asked.

Zhou Hao Chen rolled his eyes and retorted, "What do you mean by mischief?"

"Can you use more precise words?"

"I'm planning how to exterminate the Xuanyuan Blood people in West Ox Mountain."

"You have a way?"

Yi Si asked in surprise, the surprised look in her beautiful eyes was extremely intense, as if a trickle of water was about to flow out.

"Of course!"

"What way?"

"It's already settled!"

Settled?

When was it settled?

Yi Si was completely confused by Zhou Hao Chen. He had been right under her nose the whole time. When did he make a move?

How did she not notice?

Zhou Hao Chen was too lazy to explain, only reminding Yi Si.

"There will be a great battle erupting near Flat Top Peak later, with countless casualties."

"It's a big scene, a very big one!"

"Remember, do not approach Flat Top Peak."

Zhou Hao Chen believed that with his reminder, Yi Si shouldn't be foolish enough to go to Flat Top Peak.

West Ox Mountain was so big, as long as she didn't get close to Flat Top Peak, the great battle between the Xuanyuan Blood and the Divine Firmament Sect wouldn't affect other places.

Yi Si kept Zhou Hao Chen's words in mind, her bright eyes turning as she curiously asked.

"Where are you planning to go?"

"I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

Saying that, Zhou Hao Chen cupped his hands in farewell, tapping his toes and using his movement technique to fly towards East Screen Peak.

Stepping on the treetops, startling flying birds, like a flying swallow, spreading like clouds.

Looking at Zhou Hao Chen's departing back, Yi Si muttered in a low voice.

"If, as you said, a multi-party war will erupt at Flat Top Peak, with heavy casualties, then I definitely have to go to Flat Top Peak even more, to add fuel to the fire."

"At worst, I'll just expose some of my strength."

Saying that, Yi Si's figure flashed and appeared in the sky in the direction of East Screen Peak, the speed was simply terrifying.

After separating from Yi Si, Zhou Hao Chen quickly arrived at East Screen Peak.

The environment in East Screen Peak was quiet and secluded, with singing birds and fragrant flowers, like a paradise.

Walking into East Screen Peak, Zhou Hao Chen's mood couldn't help but relax, feeling refreshed.

Taking a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air of the forest.

Using the words from Blue Star, the concentration of negative ions in East Screen Peak was extremely high, which was very beneficial for health and recuperation.

Zhou Hao Chen didn't indulge in the beautiful scenery of East Screen Peak, and immediately began to search.

East Screen Peak was neither big nor small. It wouldn't be easy to search the entire East Screen Peak.

A quarter of an hour later.

Suddenly, Zhou Haochen felt a thick earth-attribute aura.

The soil beneath the towering ancient trees attracted Zhou Haochen's attention.

This small patch of soil looked no different from other places.

However, the thick earth-attribute aura made Zhou Haochen certain that this soil was not ordinary.

With a wave of his right hand, the Soul Summoning Banner fell into his grasp.

Immediately afterward, he cast a spell towards the Soul Summoning Banner.

Black smoke billowed from the Soul Summoning Banner, and a ghostly figure emerged.

This ghostly figure was the main soul that Zhou Haochen had recently subdued—the Demon Lord.

"Demon Lord, dig down there!"

Zhou Haochen pointed to the unusual soil on the ground.

The Demon Lord didn't think that digging soil was beneath his dignity.

He would do as his master commanded.

However, he didn't have a suitable tool!

The most recent novels are available at Six/9/Books/Bar/First/Release!

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Haochen handed the Nine Nether White Bone Sword to the Demon Lord.

"Use this sword for now."

The Demon Lord took the Nine Nether White Bone Sword and began digging at the spot Zhou Haochen indicated.

Although the Nine Nether White Bone Sword had been severely damaged by the Great Confucian Bamboo Slips, it was still a top-notch divine weapon in terms of hardness and sharpness.

Using it to dig soil was a waste of talent, like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The Demon Lord dug downwards, and after about a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, a dense earth-attribute aura gushed out from the depths of the earth.

The moment he felt this aura, Zhou Haochen's spirits lifted, and he jumped into the pit.

He saw the source of the aura.

It was still a piece of soil.

However, this piece of soil was different from the surrounding soil, and the difference was immediately apparent.

Because it was Five-Colored Earth!

[Nine Heavens Breath Soil: Legend says it is a remnant from when the Goddess Nüwa mended the heavens, capable of infinite growth and possessing the wondrous ability to cultivate spirit herbs.]

Zhou Haochen's spirits lifted when he saw the hexagram.

So it was Nine Heavens Breath Soil; no wonder a palm-sized piece was a third-grade opportunity.

The ability of Nine Heavens Breath Soil to mend the heavens was basically useless to Zhou Haochen.

However, its wondrous ability to cultivate spirit herbs was invaluable.

After collecting the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, Zhou Haochen was in a great mood and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just as Zhou Haochen was putting away the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

In Wanping County, a group of cultivators were rapidly escaping towards Xiniu Mountain.

This group of cultivators, wearing purple Taoist robes, was none other than the Shenxiao Sect.

Not long ago, the three elders of the Shenxiao Sect sensed the aura of the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet.

Although that aura was fleeting, it was still keenly captured by the three elders.

After obtaining the clue of the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet, the three elders also stopped discussing the plan against Zhou Haochen.

They immediately summoned all the Shenxiao Sect disciples in Yujing City and rushed to Xiniu Mountain.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Streams of light, accompanied by the sound of thunder, descended on Xiniu Mountain.

"It's near here!"

"The place where the aura of the jade tablet appeared before is nearby."

Faced with the vast and continuous Xiniu Mountain, the three elders frowned and instructed the disciples behind them.

"All disciples, enter the mountain and search."

"Bring back all thunder-attribute treasures."

With Elder Wang's order, all the Shenxiao Sect disciples rushed into Xiniu Mountain.

He did not tell the Shenxiao Sect disciples that the target was the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet.

After all, this matter was of great importance and must not be leaked.

Once it was leaked, other holy lands and families would definitely take advantage of their misfortune, and they would be even less able to recover the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet.

Therefore, Elder Wang only referred to it as a thunder-attribute treasure.

Everything in Xiniu Mountain that had even a trace of thunder-attribute aura was to be searched.

As long as the Yingyuan Mansion Jade Tablet was still in Xiniu Mountain, they would not miss it.

Not long after the Shenxiao Sect disciples entered Xiniu Mountain, they ran into the people of Xuanyuan Blood.

"Who are you?" A Xuanyuan Blood disciple shouted sharply.

"Get out of the way!"

"Xiniu Mountain is reserved by our Shenxiao Sect, and all treasures belong to our Shenxiao Sect."

"Did you take the treasure? Take out your storage bag and let me check it."

The Shenxiao Sect disciples, as disciples of the holy land, were used to being domineering.

They immediately wanted to search the storage bags of the Xuanyuan Blood members.

The Xuanyuan Blood members laughed when they heard this, and their smiles were very ugly.

Their Xuanyuan Blood was a top-level secret organization.

Among the organization, experts above the Upper Three Realms were as numerous as hairs.

Usually, only they, Xuanyuan Blood, bullied others. Today, there were actually ignorant people who dared to shit on their heads.

"Shenxiao Sect, what great prestige!"

"Let me see how capable your Shenxiao Sect is to be called a holy land?"

Boom—

The Xuanyuan Blood member took the lead and secretly launched a sneak attack.

A heavy punch directly seriously injured the Shenxiao Sect disciple, breaking three of his ribs, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The Shenxiao Sect disciple was horrified and his eyes were bloodshot.

He never expected that someone would be so bold as to attack their Shenxiao Sect without asking questions.

He was really tired of living!

"Senior brother, help me!"

"A thief has robbed the treasure that the elder wanted!"

A Shenxiao Sect disciple cried for help, and immediately three Shenxiao Sect disciples came to rescue him.

The Xuanyuan Blood member was shocked when he saw that three more Shenxiao Sect disciples had arrived. Sensing a trace of bad news, he immediately sent a message to Xie Zhi through the Thousand Miles Transmission.

[Bingchen: Boss, I was attacked by the Shenxiao Sect.]

[Bingchen: The Shenxiao Sect is also searching for treasures, and they also want to drive other people out of Xiniu Mountain. I suspect they are also here for the Psychic Mysterious Ginseng.]

[Bingchen: Boss, the Shenxiao Sect doesn't talk about martial ethics. Four of them are beating me up. I can't hold on anymore.]

[Xiezhi: Hold on for a moment, I'll be right there.]

[Xiezhi: These little bastards from the Shenxiao Sect dare to touch my people. I'll let them know why the flowers are so red later. Do they really think Yujing City is a remote corner like Shenxiao Mountain?]

Bingchen struggled to support himself under the hands of the four Shenxiao Sect disciples, and he was in danger for a while.

Fortunately, Xie Zhi arrived very quickly.

As soon as Xie Zhi appeared, a sharp sword energy swept around, seriously injuring the four Shenxiao Sect disciples.

"Damn it, the thief has helpers, quickly ask the elders to take action."

A great battle broke out.

Everywhere in Xiniu Mountain were people from both sides.

Soon, the scale of the war expanded.

Even the Upper Three Realms experts were involved.

Zhou Haochen, who was far away in Dongping Peak, felt the aftermath of the fighting coming from the direction of Pingding Peak, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The big one is coming!
