After swallowing the Qi Returning Pill in his mouth for a while, Yichen's body regained its strength.
Before the battle, Yichen, who was facing the pack of wolves, already knew that this battle was extraordinary. It might be his limit challenge. Exhausted, it was inevitable that he would be seriously injured.
In addition, he had just been appointed as an Exalt and his prestige had not yet been established. The fastest way was to be strong. He was a strong person and these Xiao Xiao could not do anything to him. In order to be able to stand up easily after the battle, the Qi Returning Pill was very important. Therefore, he had long prepared a move. This was actually something he learned from the original main character, Xiao Yan.
The armrest pulled out a white silk from his wide sleeve and slowly covered his ferocious purple eyes with his hand. Then, he heaved a long sigh of relief and looked up at the people on the tree. He nodded, indicating that everyone was safe.
" Hua hua." After a while, everyone got off the tree and arrived in front of Yi Chen. Their expressions were cautious and respectful.
Qi Yong and Nie Chengfeng were silent, not knowing what to say. The battle just now had truly shocked them. Facing a group of Third Order Wind Wolves and a Fourth Order Wind Wolf King, countless Wind Wolves had died. The Wind Wolf King was killed on the spot, and the Revered Elder seemed to be fine. It was obvious that his strength was unfathomable. The gap between them and him was so obvious. Now that they were standing in front of him, they felt a little restrained.
Yi Chen raised his hand and bit his fingertip. Then, a drop of red floated in the air. His fingers were agile as he drew strange runes in the air. After doing this series of actions, he said in a deep voice," Heaven and earth are witnesses, and blood and spirit are the matchmakers. This old man, Gu Xuan, will never betray you after entering the blood wolf. Promise!"”Immediately, the surrounding earth and heaven energy fluctuated strangely, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared along with the blood talisman.
" This is…" Everyone was stunned.
"It seems to be a Blood Spirit Contract." Qi Yong opened his mouth in shock.
There were many ways to swear an oath on the Dou Qi continent. The Blood Spirit Contract was one of the more serious ones. Everyone on the continent could swear an oath. Although there was no basis for swearing, everyone still believed that there was a god in this world. If one were to violate an oath, one would have to accept punishment. An ordinary person would not dare to swear recklessly if they were not confident. The Guardian had just sworn an oath. It could be seen that he was sincere in joining the Blood Wolf. The suspicion in everyone's hearts disappeared.
"Lord Guardian, what are you doing?" Nie Chengfeng cupped his hands and said,
Yi Chen smiled and waved his hand." Since this old man has joined Blood Wolf, I will share honor and disgrace with Blood Wolf. Joining as a Guardian is to fulfill my duty. This old man still has this principle."
So what if he swore? Sooner or later, Blood Wolf would be his own force. How could he betray his own force in the future? Yichen explained in his heart.
Yichen's action was to eliminate everyone's resistance and allow them to completely integrate into the group. As expected, when they heard Yichen's words of righteousness, everyone's faces showed a little more respect.
Seeing that the effect was not bad, the Fairy Doctor, who was holding the flying swallow, turned around and said indifferently,"We cannot stay here for long. We should immediately set off."
Qi Yong and Nie Chengfeng looked at each other and nodded. They led everyone and followed behind Yichen.
……
In an empty area in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, a vigorous figure shuttled back and forth in the open space. Afterimages appeared one after another, and wherever the setting sun shone, a five-foot-long sword was nimble. It slashed, slashed, or pointed. Each sword move actually caused the air to become slightly restless.
" Young Commander, you're quite skilled." At this moment, a white-cloaked dwarf walked over. Beside him stood a girl in a white robe that was whiter than snow.
The afterimage in the empty space froze. When the figure solidified, it was Nie Chengfeng. Seeing Yichen walk over, he hurriedly bowed and said,"Lord Exalt."
Yi Chen waved his hand and said," Young Guild Leader, you don't have to be so polite. You can just call me Old Gu."
Nie Chengfeng said with a smile," Yes, consecrate…Gu Gu, Gu Gu can also call me Little Wind."
Yi Chen carefully looked at Nie Chengfeng through the white cloth and nodded his head."His strength has almost recovered. Ke ke, twenty years old at the peak of the Dou Shi class. I have to say that Xiao Feng's talent is really shocking. Even an ordinary student of the Jia Nan Academy would not be able to reach this level. The younger generation will be formidable. Ke ke," he said with a gratified smile.
The more Yi Chen looked at Nie Chengfeng, the more he liked him. Without the proper guidance and education of the clan, Chengfeng's strength had already reached such a level. It was likely that he was even a little stronger than Xiao Yan.
Chengfeng scratched his head and awkwardly said,"I am not satisfied with what you said. When I was young, I had a fortuitous encounter. After which, my training progress was several times faster than an ordinary person. Only then did I reach the peak of the Dou Shi class at the age of twenty."
"Oh?" Yi Chen was slightly puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he said," No wonder, no wonder. However, it is the blessing of the blood wolf to have Chengfeng like this." If he had not intervened in this world, this genius youth would have died in the mouth of the wind wolf. Thinking of this, Yi Chen felt a wave of fear, but his heart was filled with love for talent. He asked," Is Chengfeng a wind attribute warrior?”
Chengfeng nodded in confusion, not knowing why Yichen was asking.
" Hehe, I can see that your aptitude is extremely good and your compatibility with the wind attribute is very high. However, your attack method is without any technique to speak of. In the future, it's hard to guarantee that you won't suffer losses in battle…Just watch." After saying that, he flapped his cloak and his figure flickered at the side of the empty space, his whereabouts erratic.
Chengfeng suddenly realized that the Revered Elder wanted to teach him a fighting technique, so he decided to observe carefully.
" It's fast to go with the flow, but it's even stronger when you go against the wind. When the wind is strong, the force is stronger..." Not far away, Yichen demonstrated while chanting the incantation as if he was releasing a demonic sound. At a certain moment, Yichen lifted his leg in the air and swept it around. Accompanied by the afterimages of his leg in the air, the surrounding wind elements were violent. Immediately after, Yichen was surrounded by messy wind blades. Following the rhythm of his leg, they swept in all directions, stirring up dust and instantly sending sand and stones flying.
Looking at the shocking scene, Nie Chengfeng was extremely shocked. The Exalt had actually controlled the wind element to such an extent. After gathering it, it seemed like a casual wave or slash, but in fact, it brought about the most piercingly cold attack method. It was many times stronger than the Wind Burial that he had used with all his might.
After a while, Yi Chen stopped, and the chaotic energy of the world around him also calmed down and dissipated.
He slowly walked towards Nie Chengfeng and said,"What I'm going to teach you today is not a fighting technique, but a technique to control the wind element. How to use the smallest amount of force to gather the strongest attack."
Seeing Nie Chengfeng thinking hard, he continued,"Although using the natural energy to attack is a Dou Huang level technique, this is not necessarily the case. One does not necessarily have to reach the Dou Huang level to use the technique properly." Using the wind attribute energy in the world, how to use the least amount of strength and attack the fastest…That is to follow the wind, feel the law of the wind, follow the trajectory of the wind, and finally release it according to the heart, moving from the heart."
After saying that, Yichen left behind the words " you better understand it yourself " and walked away.
Yichen had taught Nie Chengfeng the key to the Headwind Kick, but he had only taught Nie Chengfeng the Downwind Kick, the first of the three realms. Yi Chen did not emphasize this fighting technique because he did not want Chengfeng to follow the cultivation method. Instead, he wanted Chengfeng to comprehend it alone and find a set of fighting techniques that was suitable for him. Yichen knew that regardless of whether Nie Chengfeng used leg techniques, sword techniques, or anything else, the final principle was the same. The key was still the understanding of the essence.
Yi Chen did not want such a good seedling to be destroyed in his hands. He wanted to let him go further on the path of Dou Qi cultivation, so he instructed him to do so.
After the lesson, Yichen strolled away. He glanced at a tanned and thin man who was smiling at him not far away. Yichen nodded in response.
Seeing Yichen nod in response, the man walked towards Yichen with a huge sword on his back and cupped his hands."Lord Exalt." When he got closer, he looked at Nie Chengfeng, who was thinking hard, and said gratefully,"Thank you, Lord Exalt."
Yichen nodded and glanced at Nie Chengfeng. He could guess what Qi Yong was thanking him for. He waved his hand and said," It's nothing. It's also thanks to the young commander's excellent talent." Then, he patted the empty space and gestured for the other party to sit down. He swept his gaze over the few figures in a hurry in the distance and said," Captain Qi, have you decided to leave?"”
Qi Yong nodded.”
Yichen did not respond. He just quietly looked at Nie Chengfeng, who was practicing in the distance. After a while, he said," That's good. This attack is strange. Who knows what else will happen?"
Qi Yong's expression was startled as he softly said,"Lord Revered Elder, do you also have this feeling?"
Yi Chen pondered for a moment and said," When they were attacked, the Wind Wolves had a clear destination and were well prepared. It didn't seem like they had just discovered their target."
" Lord Revered Elder, you mean that someone intentionally did this?" Qi Yong frowned.
Yi Chen nodded and sighed." I don't know about the Blood Wolf mission this time, but we're not the only ones who have the same goal as Blood Wolf, right?"
" You mean the Mo Family?" Qi Yong exclaimed.
" No wonder. When Captain Li, Captain Pi, and I went to scout the way, we also found traces of Wind Wolves. However, there weren't that many of them, and we didn't find anything unusual. Moreover, along the way, the Mo Family had been following behind our team. Their goal was the same as ours, so this matter most likely had something to do with them…That old fellow Mo Dong."
Yi Chen couldn't deny it. After a while, he said," There's one more thing that I don't understand. Why are there so many Wind Wolves here? I don't remember hearing of such a race in the northern region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Moreover, the Wind Wolves that attacked you at the beginning clearly had a warning tone." As he spoke, Yi Chen recalled that when he entered the northern region earlier, he had been obstructed by the Wind Wolves many times. It seemed that they didn't want anyone to enter.
When Qi Yong heard this, he was not surprised. He suddenly remembered what Yi Chen had said earlier," I don't know about this mission ". He said with an embarrassed expression," Lord Revered Elder, this…this is actually not difficult to explain. The appearance of the Wind Wolves in the North District is not a coincidence."
Thinking of Yichen's powerful strength, his willingness to join the mercenary team, and his actions, Qi Yong's heart was determined. He gritted his teeth and said," I won't hide it from you, Honored Sir. This time, our Blood Wolf's mission is related to the Wind Wolf."
"Oh?" Yichen said with interest. It seemed that Blood Wolf had something up his sleeve.
"Blood Wolf Mercenary Company. This mission is for the Wind Wolf. To be precise, it is for the items that the Wind Wolf carries."
"It is unknown where the Wind Wolf tribe came from. In short, this time around, they have come to the Jia Ma Empire for a great migration. What they brought with them this time around is really the target of our Blood Wolves. We need to find the lair of the Wind Wolves and obtain that thing."
"Hehe, great migration? "It should be the Great Escape," Yichen interrupted hoarsely.
Qi Yong was startled and looked at Yi Chen with a face full of admiration,"Lord Revered Elder is right. The great migration of the wind wolves is all because of the items on their bodies. This migration is also to protect this item."
"This item is extraordinary. I heard that it is a sacred item of the ancient wolf tribe. The person who obtains this item can command all the wolf tribes on the continent. All types of wolf tribes will follow the leader of the person who obtains it and bow their heads."
Yi Chen gasped." It can command all the wolves on the mainland. Is there really such a thing in the world?"”What kind of concept was it to have all the wolves on the continent listen to his orders? There were many types of wolf tribes on the continent. Each type of wolf tribe possessed quite a great survival ability and fighting strength. For example, the Wind Wolf tribe could cause an elite Dou Wang to be badly battered. However, they were merely ranked in the middle of the wolf tribe. There were also many other clans that were troublesome to deal with even for Dou Huangs and Dou Zongs. It was rumored that there was even an ancient wolf clan. Their strength was unfathomable. After obtaining this item, it meant that he had the backing of such a force. Wasn't that shocking?
"Isn't that so? Not only that, I heard that this item can increase the speed of Dou Qi cultivation, Dou Qi recovery speed, and many other functions. It can be said to be extremely mysterious," Qi Yong added.
Yi Chen was so surprised that his mouth was wide open. If what Qi Yong said was true, then this item was extraordinary. Each of the abilities mentioned above were shocking to hear. It could increase the speed of one's Dou Qi training and would cause everyone to go through fire and water for it. Putting everything else aside, Xiao Yan had fought with many experts over the 'Fallen Heart Flame' in the original novel, which was a cheating tool for Dou Qi training. Moreover, it had many other functions that were not weak.
Now, Yi Chen had some doubts about the authenticity of this matter. In fact, it was not that he doubted Qi Yong's words, but that he had doubts about this shocking news. He asked," Who said this? Is it reliable?"”
Qi Yong firmly said,"It's true."
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yong seemed to have made a decision and said," Lord Revered Elder, actually, this mission was entrusted to us by someone to search for the holy relic of the ancient wolf tribe. It was someone else's idea."
" To be able to entrust Blood Wolf with this task, it must be someone with great strength," Yi Chen guessed.
"That's right. Our Blood Wolf has three sub-groups, namely Flying Sky, Fending Ground, and Expedition. Each sub-group has an elite Dou Ling as the group leader. Fending Ground Blood Wolf is our three group leaders and also the group leader of our Fending Ground sub-group.”Saying this, Qi Yong's expression darkened.
"The Blood Wolf Mercenary Company was established by the third captain and a few other brothers. Although they are low-key, there are three elite Dou Lings within the group. There are also quite a number of mercenaries above the Dou Shi class. The strength of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Company is something that even a Dou Wang does not dare to underestimate. Even if it's a mercenary group, in the northeast region, even the big family, the Mo family, can't compete with us.”
"However, a few months ago, a few strong people came to the group and said that they wanted to entrust Blood Wolf with a task. The Blood Wolf Mercenary Group has always been a lone wolf and has their own goals. When would they be ordered around by others? The three great Company Leaders unanimously disagreed, but…but…" Qi Yong revealed a shocked and terrified expression as he spoke up to this point,"In the end, just one of them was able to use his aura to…defeat the three mid Dou Ling Company Leaders."
"You only used your aura to do this and didn't attack?”Yi Chen said in surprise. When he saw Qi Yong nod his head, he frowned and said,"That strength must be at least at the Dou Huang level."
Qi Yong sighed and laughed bitterly,"That person is the subordinate of the few people in the lead. Ke ke, the leader has said that if this mission is successful, he will bestow the tier 5 medicinal pill, Dou Spirit Pill, to us. If we fail, the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group will…will disappear from this continent in the future."
A tier five Dou Spirit Pill was a commission fee? It was quite valuable. It seemed like this news was most likely true.
" Three for one, Guild Leader. Do you agree?" Yichen asked.
Qi Yong gritted his teeth and nodded.
Yi Chen sighed. Putting aside whether or not they would be wiped out, just a tier 5 medicinal pill, Dou Ling Pill, would be enough to make Xue Lang do anything. That was a medicinal pill that could allow an elite Dou Wang to raise his strength by one star unconditionally. Although it was useless to the current leaders, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't be able to use it in the future. Moreover, even if they couldn't use it, it would still be worth a lot at the auction. If they were lucky, they could exchange it for what they wanted.
The problem was that it was currently entrusted by a few Dou Huangs and above. At their level of strength, they still had to entrust others to find it? Or could it be that this was actually just a superficial phenomenon? They had other plans and this move was a cover-up? However, this action would definitely expose the matter even faster. Although the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group kept a low profile and was not known by many people, their strength was different from that of a Dou Huang. Their whereabouts were erratic and it was difficult for them to keep their actions a secret. Then, what was the reason?
