Chapter 186 Zhenwu Gate

The rain stopped.

Just this morning, the torrential rain that had been pouring all night suddenly stopped, as if someone had turned off a faucet.

The clouds and fog cleared away, and the clear sky and the sun reappeared and ruled the earth again.

Zhang Yuan stood in the yard, feeling the sunshine on his face again, and his mood became much brighter.

What old man Kou said was exactly right, exactly five days had passed.

boom!boom!
At this moment, someone knocked hard at the gate: "Brother Zhao Yun, open the door quickly, I'm Qu Hong!"

Zhang Yuan's good mood was dampened all of a sudden.

He went over to open the door unhappily, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

To be honest, Zhang Yuan now likes Old Man Kou better than the manager of Xishanji.

Although Old Man Kou looks quite mean, he actually knows how to advance and retreat, and his performance when he comes to visit is not offensive at all.

Although Qu Hong appeared enthusiastic and said a lot of nice things on the surface, he actually had sinister intentions in his heart.

The Xishanji manager asked with a smile, "Brother Zhao Yun, the rainy season is over. Do you want to go hunting in the mountains together?"

"I have organized a team of experts, and we are planning to do something big!"

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Forget it. I'm used to hunting alone, so I won't go with you."

The flood and rainy season is over, and Taiwu Mountain and Xiaxu areas are about to usher in a cold winter.

But there is a half-month period in between, which is an excellent time to go into the mountains to hunt.

At this time, many wild animals in the mountains will come out to look for food and fatten up to survive the cold winter.

Therefore, the prey is often particularly plump.

This half month is also known as the hunting season.

Every year during the hunting season, hunters from Xiaxu would go out in groups of three or five to hunt in the mountains.

There was also a large number of mountain hikers coming in droves.

Collect various medicinal herbs.

It was Old Man Kou who told Zhang Yuan about the hunting season.

During this period, as long as you do not go too deep into the mountains and stay in the outer areas of Taiwu Mountain, there is generally no major danger.

Even if you encounter something weird, it's basically just a minor one.

Any warrior who has mastered the Blood Burning Technique or carries a talisman can deal with it.

In the past month, Zhang Yuan has been staying at home so much that he is almost growing hair.

So I decided to go into the mountain to take a look.

He has extensive hunting experience and naturally does not want to miss this opportunity.

However, Zhang Yuan declined Qu Hong's invitation.

To be honest, Zhang Yuan was not afraid of any conspiracy or trickery from the other party.

Because in the face of absolute strength, the methods of ghosts and monsters cannot hurt him at all.

But Zhang Yuan was impatient to engage in intrigue with Qu Hong, and he had to be on guard all the time after entering the mountain, which was completely asking for trouble.

He even thought about giving up on killing this guy.

You can also have peace and quiet!

But Qu Hong didn't know that he was already standing at the gate of hell.

Seeing Zhang Yuan's resolute attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said, "Okay then."

The Xishan Ji manager hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Brother Zhao Yun, do you know the Zhenwu Sect?"

Zhenwu Sect?
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Qu Hong lowered his voice and said, "I just heard a piece of news..."

It turns out that the Zhenwu Sect is a gang entrenched in Xixu, and its strength ranks in the middle among all the forces of varying sizes in Xiaxu.

Over the past year, the Zhenwu Sect had come into fierce conflict with the Xionghu Gang, which was also based in Xixu.

The Zhenwu Sect was unable to cope with the challenge and has lost most of its territory.

It is very likely that he will be driven out of Xixu!

The Xia Ruins are divided into five parts: East, West, North, and Central. The outer ruins are larger in area. But basically all of them have owners.

This time, the Zhenwu Sect was severely damaged and could no longer gain a foothold in the ruins city, nor could it regain its territory in the outer ruins.

Normally, the final result is the disbanding of the gang or being absorbed by other gangs.

However, Zhenwu Sect was not content with this...

Zhang Yuan understood what was going on when he heard this: "Are they targeting Xishanji?"

"That's right!"

Qu Hong said bitterly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhenwu Sect will come after the New Year!"

Xishanji is not a Feng Shui treasure land. On the contrary, it is very dangerous because of its proximity to Taiwu Mountain.

However, the Zhenwu Sect did not intend to operate Xishanji as a new territory. Their intention was only to use it as a temporary stronghold to accumulate strength and then fight back.

The timing chosen by Zhenwu Sect was also very good.

Not long ago, a giant mountain ghost ran down and wreaked havoc.

According to past experience, Xishanji will be able to remain stable for two to three years.

It is definitely enough for Zhenwu Sect to recuperate!

“They calculated it very well.”

Qu Hong looked gloomy: "But we in Xishanji are in trouble!"

The Zhenwu Sect suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Xionghu Gang and was bound to replenish its manpower and fighting power.

It's hard for them to poach people from elsewhere.

And in Xishanji, there are thousands of warriors who have no sect or school!
It is entirely imaginable what kind of situation will arise once the Zhenwu Sect’s forces invade Xishanji.

"Brother Zhao Yun, if you don't want to be forcibly recruited by the Zhenwu Sect..."

Qu Hong said in a deep voice: "Then we have no choice but to work together to stop them!"

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "How many people in Zhenwu Sect have entered the Qi realm?"

Qu Hong's expression froze, and after a moment he replied, "Five, four fourth-level, and one fifth-level."

He added: "It is said that the leader of Zhenwu Sect, Su Zhen, was seriously injured. They only have four fourth-level people who can take action."

It’s easy to say!
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but glance at the other person.

Although there is only one level difference between the fourth and third levels, the combat effectiveness is at least ten times different.

Zhang Yuan had heard of a saying.

Thirty to fifty third-level warriors armed with swords and knives, working in perfect harmony and fearlessly, can kill a fourth-level warrior.

The prerequisite is that this Qi warrior fights to the death, otherwise he cannot be stopped from breaking through.

The Zhenwu Sect has four fourth-level people, plus a large number of gang members below the fourth level.

Can Xishanji's scattered soldiers and mob resist?
Zhang Yuan expressed deep doubt!
Qu Hong said it easily, as if everyone could stop the Zhenwu Sect if they joined together.

But things are not that easy!
"I don't want to die."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just hide away? If the people from Zhenwu Sect come, I'll just move away."

Qu Hong was a little confused: "So you don't want the house here anymore?"

"If we lose a house, we can build another one."

Zhang Yuan looked at the Xishanji manager and said, "It's better than dying, don't you think?"

Qu Hong was speechless.

He had never expected that Zhang Yuan would be so cowardly and run away without any hesitation.

After a long while, Qu Hongcai smiled bitterly and said, "That's right."

"It's easy for you to leave, but we've lived here for so long, we really don't want to leave."

"Besides, where can you run to?"

At this moment, Qu Hong revealed some sincerity.

However, Zhang Yuan had no sympathy for him.

And trust!
