"Master, let Senior Zengjiao go with you. It will be safer this way." Liu Qian offered a suggestion.

This time it is the birthday party of the Yuanying old monster, and Zhenjun Kongyou will definitely be there. If the other party chooses to break up and fight directly, then Chen Feng will be in great danger.

So in Liu Qian's opinion, letting Zeng Jiao accompany Chen Feng is the best choice.

Zhe Jiao, who was standing by, immediately said, "I will go with you then."

Zhe Jiao also understood that this kind of request could not be asked of Chen Feng, but he had to take the initiative to say it.

Chen Feng glanced at Zhe Jiao and then said, "After eating, let's go out for a walk."

After two years of seclusion, Chen Feng planned to travel around and take a look at the changes in the northern border.

"Master, do you need me to go with you?" Liu Qian asked.

Chen Feng shook his head: "No need, just follow me."

Liu Qian nodded, and then left the cabinet with Wang Hu.

Windy City.

Today, Xingfeng City has completely transformed into a modern city, and modern-style buildings can be seen everywhere in the city.

Almost all buildings have access to electricity, and cars are still driving on the city roads.

Many years ago, Chen Feng asked Liu Qian to build a highway in the northern border.

After years of construction, all villages and towns, large and small, in the northern border are now connected by roads.

As the saying goes, if you want to live a good life, you must first have access.

The total population of the North is currently around 16 million. If the population of the countries surrounding the North is included, the number will exceed hundreds of millions.

With such a large population, the factories in the North never have to worry about a lack of manpower.

In the past two years, Liu Qian has built many new factories in the northern border.

Some of these factories produce weapons, while others produce daily necessities. The products they produce are sold all over the world of immortal cultivation.

Among them, firearms are the most popular among low-level cultivators, so firearms are also the Xingfeng Sect’s largest profit project at present.

Chen Feng was walking on the road of Xingfeng City, and next to him was Zhejiao who had turned into a small coffin.

"Fellow Daoist, I admire you more and more now." Zhejiao sighed.

Chen Feng looked at Zhe Chou in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Zhejiao said: "Ordinary mortals have no value in the eyes of immortal cultivators like us, but in your hands they have great value."

Zhe Jiao had been in Xingfeng Sect for many years. He knew very well how much spirit stones Xingfeng Sect had earned from the mortals in the North over the years.

The weapons and various commodities produced day and night in those factories were all sold to various parts of the immortal cultivation world.

I'm afraid those cultivators who bought guns would never have thought that such things were actually produced by mortals.

Just for this reason, Zhejiao had to admire Chen Feng.

What is the most abundant thing in the world of immortals? It is undoubtedly mortals.

But these mortals have basically no value to immortal cultivators. Their only value is to provide good seedlings for the immortal cultivation forces.

The fundamental reason why there are so many mortals living in the territories of those big forces is that these big forces want to select geniuses from among the mortals in order to ensure that there are successors to the sect.

As for other values, there is basically none.

As for dynasty struggles in the secular world, immortal cultivators are too lazy to participate, and won’t even bother to care.

Now Chen Feng has discovered the value of these mortals.

Zhe Jiao was certain that in the future, the Xingfeng Sect would be able to become one of the top forces in the world of immortal cultivation just by relying on this mortal.

The most important thing is that Chen Feng’s approach cannot be replicated by other forces.

Chen Feng smiled and then said: "In fact, everyone is valuable. Of course, the premise is that you can bring out their value."

Zhejiao nodded, and then said in a serious tone: "But the more this happens, the more careful we must be. It will be dangerous if we are targeted by the big forces in the inner sea."

Hearing this, Chen Feng also nodded.

He understood this logic very well. In fact, the current situation of Xingfengmen was already very dangerous.

For example, nuclear bombs and various weapons are not possessed by other forces, which represents danger.

The reason why nothing happened now is that the current strength of Xingfeng Sect is enough to intimidate many forces in the outer seas.

Although those forces were jealous, they did not dare to do anything to the Xingfeng Sect.

But if the Xingfeng Sect is targeted by the forces in the inner sea, it will be in big trouble.

Therefore, Chen Feng has never thought about developing into the inland sea, and even stopped expanding his territory.

But even if this is done, the risks are still great.

At this moment, a man in a green robe walked up to Chen Feng and bowed to him: "Excuse me, are you the Master of the Chen Sect?"

Chen Feng took a look at the other person and found that he was actually a Jindan cultivator, and had reached the late Jindan stage.

Chen Feng's appearance has changed now, but because he has just broken through, the spiritual power bracelet is still completely unable to suppress his aura.

It may be difficult for ordinary cultivators to see it, but Jindan cultivators can see it.

"Who are you?" Chen Feng stared at the other person and asked.

A Jindan cultivator appeared in Xingfeng City. It was obvious that the other party was an immortal cultivator from the outer sea.

The man immediately bowed to Chen Feng and said, "I am Lu Kong, an elder of the Liuli Sect."

Hearing about the Liuli Sect, Chen Feng immediately remembered that Wang Hu had told him before that Mo Yang had once had a conflict with the Liuli Sect.

Lu Kong continued:
"I am here in Xingfeng City to wait for you, Sect Master Chen, to come out of seclusion, on the orders of our Sect Master. Our Sect Master has always wanted to visit Sect Master Chen to resolve the conflict between your disciples and our Sect, but Sect Master Chen has been in seclusion, so he can only send me to wait here."

Lu Kong was indeed helpless. After the conflict between Liuli Sect and Mo Yang two years ago, their sect leader wanted to go to the northern border to resolve the conflict.

But Chen Feng had been in seclusion and could not even see him, so he was sent to Xingfeng City to wait.

"I know about this. Haven't you already dealt with Elder Liu?" Chen Feng asked.

Lu Kong nodded immediately:

"Yes, our sect did punish Elder Liu, but Elder Liu secretly escaped a few months ago. I'm afraid he will retaliate against your sect, so you should be careful."

Hearing this, Chen Feng was speechless.

The Liuli Sect couldn't even manage its own elders, and even let them escape. It seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"Well, you can go back now. The misunderstanding between our two sects has been resolved today."

Chen Feng didn't want to let a late Jindan cultivator stay in the northern border. Who knows what tricks the other party might play.

A smile immediately appeared on Lu Kong's face:

"That's great. By the way, if your sect finds any trace of Elder Liu, please inform us. The strong men of our sect are hunting him down." Lu Kong was also afraid that Elder Liu would retaliate against the Xingfeng Sect, so he specifically reminded Chen Feng.

"I will take precautions." Chen Feng replied.

Lu Kong hesitated for a moment and then said, "Master Chen, there is one more thing our sect leader asked me to tell you. This matter concerns the Tianji Tower."

Lu Kong then sent a message to Chen Feng, obviously not wanting Zhe Jiao who was beside Chen Feng to hear it.

Zeng Jiao next to him was a little dissatisfied, but since Chen Feng was next to him, he couldn't get angry.

After listening to Lu Kong's voice transmission, Chen Feng frowned: "People from Tianji Tower? They know me very well."

This news surprised him. He had heard about Tianji Tower from Zhe Jiao before. It was a big force in the inner sea that controlled intelligence.

This force also released many lists, which ranked the major forces and strong men in the Inner Sea, and had a profound impact on the Inner Sea's cultivation world.

"That's right. This person knows Sect Master Chen very well, and even knows Sect Master Chen's personality. The Sect Master asked me to tell you to be careful of this person."

Chen Feng nodded slightly: "Thank you for letting me know."

Lu Kong then bowed to Chen Feng and said, "Then I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Lu Kong walked towards the city gate. He could sense that Chen Feng didn't want him to stay in the northern border any longer.

Chen Feng then asked Zhe Jiao: "Can you tell me more about this Tianji Tower?"

Zhejiao immediately spoke:
"I don't know much about Tianji Tower. This force is very mysterious, and no one knows where they are based."

"What? Did you offend this force?"

Zhe Jiao looked at Chen Feng with strange eyes. If Chen Feng offended Tianji Tower again, Zhe Jiao would really admire Chen Feng's ability to cause trouble.

Chen Feng shook his head: "I don't know, but there is someone from Tianji Tower who knows me very well."

Zhejiao said, "That could be the Tianji Envoy of Tianji Tower. Tianji Envoys are the representatives of Tianji Tower outside the city. They are responsible for gathering intelligence for Tianji Tower."

"If they know you, they must have investigated you. This is normal."

"If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. I will go back to my seclusion first." Chen Feng was no longer in the mood to stroll around. A sense of urgency arose in his heart again.

The North, the Great Forest area.

At this moment, there were two people walking in the dense forest. Their speed was not fast, just equivalent to that of ordinary warriors.

"Father, isn't this too dangerous?"

The one who spoke was the younger of the two. He was dressed as a hunter and looked like a mortal.

If Mo Yang were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this young man was none other than Liu Xiao, with whom he had previously clashed.

The person next to Liu Xiao was his father, Elder Liu.

However, both of them were disguised at this moment, looking like ordinary mortals, and even had no breath.

Elder Liu said coldly:
"We have the Hidden Breath Butterfly, a spiritual beast that I bought at a great price. Unless we encounter a powerful person at the Golden Core Perfection level, no one else will be able to discover us."

Liu Xiao said anxiously, "But the North Territory is the headquarters of the Xingfeng Sect. Once we take action, we may not be able to leave."

"Humph! Xingfeng Sect has brought disgrace upon my father and me. Now we can't even return to the sect. How can I swallow this? I must make Xingfeng Sect pay the price, otherwise I will never be able to make any further progress in this life!"

"Don't worry, I've already found out that the Xingfeng Sect in the northern border is also full of warriors, and there are not many immortal cultivators. As long as we take them by surprise, we will definitely catch them off guard. After we loot some treasures, we can leave."

Elder Liu's face was filled with anger.

Two years ago, he was punished by Liuli Sect to be sent to the Knife Cave, where he had to endure the pain of knife punishment every day.

This pain made his hatred for Xingfeng Sect grow deeper and deeper. It was not until recently that he seized the opportunity to escape from the knife cave and left Liuli Sect with his son.

After leaving Liuli Sect, he took Liu Xiao and sneaked into the northern border.

However, since the northern border was very far away from Liuli Sect and they had to cross the Black Sea, it took them nearly several months to get here.

If he had not spent a great deal of money to obtain a spiritual beast with a restrained aura, he would probably have been discovered by the people from the Xingfeng Sect as soon as he arrived in the Black Sea.

Now there is only one thing Elder Liu wants to do, and that is to take revenge on Xingfeng Sect and make them pay a heavy price.

It would be best if we could plunder the treasure house of Xingfengmen.

Liu Xiao said, "Father, when Kongyou City and the Loose Cultivator Alliance faced the Xingfeng Sect, they all suffered heavy losses. We only have two of us... and the Xingfeng Sect also has a Nascent Soul-level demon beast."

Liu Xiao was still a little scared, but compared to Elder Liu, the hatred in his heart had subsided a lot.

Moreover, in the past two years, he has learned about Xingfeng Sect from many aspects and knows that Xingfeng Sect has a Nascent Soul level monster.

If they were targeted by the Nascent Soul monster, they would definitely not have a good ending.

"Do you still have any backbone? If it wasn't for you, would I have been punished by the sect?" Elder Liu's face turned red with anger.

Seeing that his father was angry, Liu Xiaoye didn't dare to speak anymore.

Elder Liu continued:
"We are currently located in the west of the northern border, a long way from the Xingfeng Sect headquarters. It is impossible for that Nascent Soul monster to find us."

The two of them walked out of the jungle while talking. As soon as they walked out, Liu Xiao exclaimed:

"Father, look, what is that?"

Elder Liu immediately looked forward and saw several huge deep pits not far away. The soil in these pits was burnt and the surroundings were desolate.

Even the sky here is much darker than other places.

Elder Liu was also a little surprised, but soon he found a warning sign not far away with only this short sentence written on it.

"This is a critical experimental site. No entry allowed."

"Experiment? Could it be the secret place of Xingfeng Sect?" Elder Liu suddenly became excited.

Any big force basically has a secret place.

These secret places often hide great secrets, and even contain the inherited treasures of some forces.

Elder Liu immediately said, "Let's go!"

Elder Liu immediately took Liu Xiao and continued to go deeper forward. The further they went, the more deep pits they found.

Some of these pits are twenty meters in diameter, while others are thirty meters in diameter.

As he went deeper, Liu Xiao suddenly started coughing.

"Father, there is something wrong with this place." Although Liu Xiao is a foundation-building cultivator, his physical strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary mortal.

From the moment he went deeper into the area, he began to feel difficulty breathing and there was a strange smell in the air.

Elder Liu immediately released his spiritual sense to check Liu Xiao's body, but he did not find any problems after checking for a long time.

"Come closer to me." Elder Liu said.

Liu Xiao immediately approached Elder Liu, and Elder Liu also injected his own spiritual power into Liu Xiao's body.

As he was afraid of exposing his aura and being detected by the Xingfeng Sect, Elder Liu did not dare to use too much spiritual power. (End of this chapter)
