Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities.

Chapter 292 Tie Yuan Brotherhood

A few days later.

Xu Guang held a strange round ball in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.

This is the treasure obtained from Wanquan.

I originally thought that there would be some secret techniques, skills or some kind of treasure hidden in it.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the same place. Judging from the situation, it should be at the intersection of seven mountains and two rivers.

Xu Guang was confused and couldn't tell what the place was marked on.

This is a very strange map. The lines on it are extremely rough, like a kindergarten map. It can barely be recognized as a map.

The mountains and rivers marked above are just the simplest triangles and wavy lines. Xu Zhan’s paintings when he was three years old were more vivid than these.

Xu Guang was speechless. Given the educational level of the map's owner, it was hard for him to imagine what coveted treasures might be hidden in the locations on the map.

However, the mechanism used to hide this map is so ingenious that it is almost a family heirloom.

Xu Guang quickly put the map behind him.

Tieshan City fell into his hands. The next step was to replicate the development process of Yuancheng in the past. He would use search engines to look for treasures, let the people of Tieshan City search for them, and then strengthen himself, recover quickly, and find a way to break through the real level of the cave.

If one could reach Dongzhen, the threat posed by Yao Lantian would no longer exist.

Two days later.

On the edge of the Iron Forbidden Area, on a gray and dry river beach.

Ming Xiaochen stood on the gray-white stone and looked out at the ordinary-looking lake in front of him.

This is the edge of the world inside the Iron Forbidden Realm. The surface world of the Iron Forbidden Realm is more vast than the inner world.

Compared with several large domains nearby, the Iron Forbidden Domain is considered to be one of the more powerful ones.

Ming Xiaochen looked around. Just now, in just a few dozen seconds, he had felt no less than a dozen dangerous and prying eyes passing over him.

The owners of these gazes carry a strong smell of rust.

As expected, this is an iron beast unique to the Iron Forbidden Realm, a monster that relies on the rules of the Iron Forbidden Realm and was born in the other world.

There was a loud bang.

Ming Xiaochen looked silently at the battle taking place deep in the dry river in the distance.

He was a sturdy man with dragon horns on his head and strange golden scales all over his body. He was the descendant of the senior from the Central Demon Realm and the person in charge of hunting down Xu Guang this time.

After a moment, Ming Xiaochen watched the other person dragging a huge iron beast out from the depths of the river with one hand, with a satisfied smile on his face.

These iron beasts are strange beasts born under the unique rules of the Iron Forbidden Realm. At the center of each iron beast, there is an iron element. This iron element is the best material for refining peerless divine weapons.

This is also the reason why the Iron Forbidden Domain is more powerful than several other large domains. They have special products.

"Longzi, we have to find Xu Guang as soon as possible. I know that man. If we give him some more time..."

"What are you afraid of? Can he really make a hole?"

The burly Longzi snorted coldly and glanced at Ming Xiaochen unhappily with a defiant look on his face.

"Below the level of Dong Zhen, I am invincible!"

His strong self-confidence infected all the half-demons around him.

Ming Xiaochen just felt that he was out of tune with this group of people.

He finally stepped back in silence.

Even though he had a thin layer of half-demon blood in his body, it was nothing in front of this group of people.

After he failed to pull the mortal world into the area where Yao Lantian was located, his status in the hearts of the bigwigs in Yao Lantian had plummeted.

There is a world of difference between this and being second only to one person in the mortal world.

If we were to ask who hated Xu Guang the most among those who had left this world, it would undoubtedly be Ming Xiaochen.

……

In Tieshan City.

Xu Guang was sitting in the secret room, holding a letter in his hand. Opposite him, Liu Huarong was sitting upright with a respectful expression.

This is a letter sent by Yushan City Marshal Chen Youhui, and it is written to Liu Huarong.

"You have a good relationship with this Chen Youhui?"

Liu Huarong shook her head slightly, "Not really, but we have met a few times in the past, and I helped him a little bit some time ago."

Xu Guang nodded.

Chen Youhui wrote to Liu Huarong, wanting to invite Liu Huarong to hunt the iron beast.

During this period, Xu Guang rested and recuperated, and naturally got to know the specialties of the Iron Forbidden Area.

Strictly speaking, Tieshan City is not in the core area of ​​the world in the Iron Forbidden Domain, but it is affected by it. The large number of mineral veins outside the city are affected by the Iron Forbidden Domain.

And deeper down, there is a passage that can truly lead you into the inside world.

After learning this, Xu Guang couldn't help but think, with Wang Aofeng's methods, if he was closer to the world inside the Iron Forbidden Realm, would he still be able to defeat and kill him?
However, these have nothing to do with Chen Youhui's letter.

Chen Youhui wrote to invite Liu Huarong to explore the world of Iron Forbidden Land and hunt iron beasts together.

The letter mentioned an organization called Tieyuan Brotherhood, and Chen Youhui's implicit meaning was that he wanted to invite him to join this organization.

"In that case, it seems that it was the strength you demonstrated last time that aroused Chen Youhui's interest."

Hearing this, Liu Huarong lowered her head.

The strength she showed...

It was clearly Xu Guang's battle record.

"Have you ever heard of this so-called Tieyuan Brotherhood before?"

Liu Huarong nodded.

"I know a little bit about it. It is said to be a human organization in the Iron Forbidden Realm. In contrast, it is the Iron Forbidden Alliance, which is mainly composed of half-demons. However, the difference in strength is huge. They have been operating in secret. I heard that their purpose is to make humans live in peace, trade all useful and useless things, and share what they have..."

Xu Guang had no interest in the purpose of these so-called organizations. He waved his hand to signal Liu Huarong to stop and just asked.

"What is the reputation of this organization? What can be traded?"

"He has a good reputation among humans and is said to be able to trade everything. As long as Yao Lantian has something, he can trade it. It is rumored that the leader who founded the organization is a big shot in Yao Lantian..."

Xu Guang was silent, thought for a long time, and said softly, "Refuse it, but..."

Liu Huarong's realm is not high enough, and even her safety cannot be guaranteed if she joins in casually. But Xu Guang...

Develop some interest in this organization.

……

……

Five days later.

Outside Yushan City.

A huge and burly man wearing blue-gray armor stood in the woods outside the city, followed by dozens of burly men dressed in the same way.

Each of them is over two meters tall and is obviously an elite warrior under the command of Chen Youhui from Yushan City.

"General, there is a carriage in the distance. Is it the person the marshal is waiting for?"

The sturdy man in the lead stood up and looked at the long road in the distance. In the afterglow of the setting sun, a blue-gray horse was pulling a carriage slowly approaching.

"It's quite a show."

someone whispered.

The sturdy man turned around and kicked him.

: "Don't talk nonsense, this man is a master at the same level as the marshal. If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense and shut up!"

Hearing this, the soldier who had been muttering before suddenly changed his expression and lowered his head.

"Yes!"

After a while, the carriage slowly stopped.

The strong man took a deep breath.

"Excuse me, sir. Are you the senior brother of City Lord Liu of Tieshan City - Lord Qian Cheng?"

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a tall figure wearing a bronze mask and dressed in black walked out of the carriage.

The temperament of this person is not strong, but it is full of mystery. This mystery is full of oppression and gives people an extremely depressing feeling. The strong man's heart was beating wildly, but for a moment.

He was certain that this was a peerless master who was no less skilled than the marshal!
Zhen Xuan is already considered a master in the Iron Forbidden Area. Only a few large cities in the center have masters above this level.

"I am Chen Kuang, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet you, Your Excellency."

The masked man simply signaled Chen Kuang to stand up with his eyes, and then spoke calmly.

"Where is your marshal?"

"Please, sir. The marshal has already set up a banquet in the mansion. Please follow me into the city."

The masked man turned around and looked at Chen Kuang. His deep black eyes were filled with emotions that Chen Kuang could not understand.

"I am not here to eat and drink. Let your Marshal come out and do business first."

Chen Kuang's tone paused, and after some hesitation, he said softly, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go into the city and report to the marshal right away."

The masked man nodded.

Watched Chen Kuang and others go away.

He slowly took off the mask, and the person under the mask was Xu Guang.

After all, this was the first time Xu Guang greeted Chen Youhui and he didn't know him well. Although Liu Huarong fooled him, she also used this person to hide herself perfectly.

But as the owner of such a big city, Xu Guang still felt that he had to be careful.

After witnessing Wang Aofeng's methods, the methods of a True Profound Realm master, Xu Guang still felt that he needed to be careful.

My true self…

……

In the Marshal's Mansion.

Chen Kuang relayed Xu Guang's words with a respectful look on his face.

Chen Youhui narrowed his eyes.

"Fuck me, you're playing tricks on me."

But he was not an ordinary person, so he did not get angry. He just said, "Put on your armor. Since he doesn't want to enter the city, forget it. It's a pity that I have prepared so many treasures."

Liu Huarong helped him get the woman he liked, and he really wanted to treat Xu Guang to a banquet, but the other party was not tactful, so that was it.

Xu Guang was a little surprised when he first met Chen Youhui.

It was hard for him to believe that the dwarf in front of him, who was less than 1.5 meters tall and had a wretched appearance, was the owner of Yushan City.

The humans in the Xuan world are affected by the forbidden areas in their respective regions, and their stature is generally not too short. This can be seen from the heights of Xu Guang, Chen Kuang and others in Tieshan City.

The average human height is over 1.9 meters, and even women are usually over 1.8 meters tall.

Chen Youhui's height is obviously an exception.

"Marshal Chen."

"Are you Qian Cheng? Why are you wearing a mask?"

Unlike Chen Youhui's somewhat wretched appearance, his voice is rough and bold, and he carries a sense of heroism that makes people feel a bit fond of him just by his voice.

Xu Guang chuckled.

"Qian was born ugly, and is somewhat shameful to be seen. Wearing a mask is good for everyone."

Chen Youhui said carelessly, "Why, are you uglier than me?"

Xu Guang:......

Speechless.

This was a reason I had thought of a long time ago, but who would have thought that I would meet a weirdo like Chen Youhui.

Xu Guang nodded reluctantly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Youhui immediately showed sympathy on his face and stood on tiptoe to pat Xu Guang on the shoulder.

"It's okay. A real man, with your and my level, is not afraid of not being able to marry a wife. For example, I married my first..."

He counted on his fingers.

"The nine hundred and sixty-seventh concubine..."

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Xu Guang again.

"No, you're uglier than me. It's still difficult to marry someone as beautiful as my nine hundred and sixty-seventh concubine..."

Seeing that Chen Youhui was getting more and more rambling, Xu Guang interrupted him quickly.

"Marshal Chen, let's get down to business first. My junior sister is busy with official duties, and I still need to help her get some treasures."

Chen Youhui had the look of a man who had experienced this.

"I see. Senior brother and junior sister...are a good match. But you are too ugly. I don't think Miss Liu will like you."

Xu Guang's face was filled with black lines.

I have become almost intolerable towards Chen Youhui.

How did this person cultivate to this level?

He even saw some shadows of the paparazzi in his previous life in this person.

"Marshal Chen, business! Business is important."

"Oh, right, right, business is more important. We will set off soon. Now I understand why you are so anxious. Just like entering the bridal chamber with me, did Miss Liu also promise you that as long as you can get enough Iron Yuan, she will be willing to obey you?
Exactly the same as my former 323rd concubine..."

Xu Guang:......

He turned around silently.

He had already come up with the idea of ​​finding the entrance to the other world himself.

Being with Chen Youhui is a bit torturous.

Chen Youhui finally reacted and called out to Xu Guang.

"Brother, wait a minute, let's go this way. I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry. You have to join our fraternity first before you can use the entrance of our fraternity."

Seeing that he finally talked about business, Xu Guang asked softly.

"How do I join the Brotherhood? What preparations are needed?"

Chen Youhui stood on tiptoe again and patted Xu Guang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, brother, I owe Miss Liu a favor, I have prepared everything for you..."

Finally, I did something reliable.

Xu Guang was thinking in his heart.

Then I heard Chen Youhui say again.

"Not much, just three fifth-grade iron coins, but you have to return them to me, brother."

Xu Guang:......

Bai was moved.

"it is good."

……

The Tieyuan Brotherhood gathers every three years, firstly to conduct transactions among members, secondly to absorb new members, and thirdly to communicate with each other about newly discovered channels to the other side of the world.

The gathering place this time was in a valley called Gufeng Mountain, nine hundred miles east of Yushan City.

The shape of Gufeng Mountain is very unique, like two giant drums facing each other. When the wind passes through the two peaks, it makes a sound like a drum beating on a battlefield.

Hence the name Gufeng Mountain.

Another reason why this place was set as a gathering place is that it is secretive enough. Due to the special nature of Gufeng Mountain, it is minimally affected by the Iron Forbidden rules, and it is difficult for people from the Iron Forbidden Alliance to discover it.

Chen Youhui explained to Xu Guang with a little pride.

"But brother, you have to be careful later. People from the Iron Forbidden Territory will feel oppressive and uncomfortable in this valley. Don't get stressed."

Xu Guang seemed to be thinking about something.

Looking at the two drum-shaped mountains not far away, there was curiosity in his eyes.

This Gufeng Mountain is somewhat similar to the principle of the previous life where there must be an antidote within five steps of a highly poisonous object.

The rules of the Iron Forbidden Zone affect everything within the Zone, but within it, there are strange places that its rules cannot influence at all.
