Supreme Martial Venerable: Starting with the White Ape Cloak Hammer skill point allocation

Chapter 78 Silencing (Please continue reading)

Deep in the dense forest of Aozi Mountain.

A group of burly men in full armor stood in neat rows.

Dozens of people stood there without making a sound. Unless you walked up to them and saw them with your own eyes, you would never imagine that there was a group of people hiding there.

If Zhou Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize two familiar faces at the very front of the crowd.

The Prefect of Mianlong Mansion, Yue Zichuan, and Elder Luo Baiyan of Shenbing Valley.

Luo Baiyan should have already returned to Shenbing Valley, while Yue Zichuan should be inspecting other counties.

But at this moment, both of them appeared in Zhengzi Mountain.

"Master, could it be that the Pang family has really found them?"

Yue Zichuan felt the tremors of the mountain and looked towards the depths of the mountains, his expression very solemn.

"The legendary divine weapon, the Primordial Cang'ao Hammer, is not so easy to find."

Luo Baiyan shook his head. "Xu Nian thinks he's clever, but little does he know that the clues in the 'Collection of Military Aid' have already been discovered."

The Pang family is just as self-righteous.

If legendary weapons were so easy to obtain, they wouldn't be legendary weapons.

Even if everyone knows that the Primordial Cang'ao Hammer is in Zhengzi Mountain, those who are not destined to find it will never be able to.

A hint of regret flashed deep in Luo Baiyan's eyes. Hadn't he tried it when he was young?

Since the existence of the Valley of Divine Weapons, people throughout history have discovered clues at the Military Supplies Center and then come here to search for legendary divine weapons.

The result was always the same: failure.

To this day, that legendary weapon remains a legend, and no one has ever even seen what it looks like.

"Don't think about legendary weapons. We're not here for them. Besides, even if we got them, it's hard to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse."

Luo Baiyan said in a deep voice, "Remember, our mission is to capture Pang Yuanyou and obtain evidence of the Pang family's crimes."

A gust of wind blew in from a bottomless crack, carrying a scorching heat.

"Sir, there's nothing down there except lava."

A man was disheveled and his face was full of fear.

"Zhao Wu and the others accidentally fell into the lava, and their bodies were never found."

,

Pang Yuanyou and Pang Yunlong exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing simultaneously.

Even they couldn't withstand the magma and fire; legendary divine weapons were indeed not so easy to obtain.

"Injuries and deaths are inevitable in the trials. They can only blame themselves for their lack of skill. Go back and continue your trials. Don't talk about what happened here when you get back, understand?"

"..." Pang Yuan said coldly.

The young martial artist readily agreed and staggered back to the mountain stronghold.

In the mountain stronghold, Zhou Yuan was busy.

He looked up and realized that of the five or six people who had volunteered to participate in the new trial that morning, only one had returned.

"really!"

He silently thought to himself, "I knew the Pang family had no good intentions."

"Xu Nian has searched for so long without finding it. It seems that the Pang family has also failed. Is this legendary divine weapon really hidden in Aozi Mountain?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity, but he quickly suppressed it.

Regardless of whether the legendary weapon is hidden in the Zhengzi Mountain, it is not something he can covet at present.

Zhou Yuan has a clear understanding of himself. With the system panel at his fingertips, as long as he cultivates step by step, he will be able to achieve something in the future.

Nothing was worth the risk he was willing to take.

He glanced at a heavily guarded wooden house in the distance.

These days, all the parts they made have been sent into that wooden house, where the Pang family members are assembling them themselves.

Zhou Yuan had been quietly keeping track of the number of parts they had created, which, when assembled into the Divine Arm Crossbow, would amount to one hundred.

One hundred Divine Arm Crossbows would be enough to attack Gaoshan County, and in the battles of the martial world, they would be an even more powerful and terrifying force.

There were reasons why the crossbow became a regulated weapon.

Even someone who has never practiced martial arts could kill a martial artist who has broken through four levels if they had this weapon.

In the hands of a well-trained soldier, a crossbow can be so lethal that even a True Essence Realm martial artist would have to give way.

"Having privately manufactured so many divine crossbows—is the Pang family really just trying to seize the divine weapon, the Valley Master?"

Zhou Yuan's sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger; he felt as if he had been forced into a vortex.

"I have to find an excuse to leave here!"

""

Overwhelmed by unease, Zhou Yuan could no longer remain still. He steeled himself and slammed the hammer into his left hand—

"What a useless piece of trash! Passing the martial arts exam hasn't made any progress! He can even smash his hand like this while blacksmithing!"

Luo Rongrong frowned and complained as she looked at Zhou Yuan's swollen, purplish-red hand.

"You're given a chance but you're useless. With your kind of attitude, how do you expect to pass the martial arts exam in the future?"

As a nominal disciple, you'll never be able to formally join the sect.

You can no longer participate in the trial; go down the mountain and see a doctor.

Luo Rongrong waved her hand impatiently. Although she didn't think much of Zhou Yuan, she wouldn't have been so rude to his face.

But now, she believes that she has climbed up to the Pang family and becoming a disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley is a foregone conclusion.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Luo."

,

Zhou Yuan didn't care about the other party's attitude; as long as he achieved his goal, that was enough.

He didn't even pack his bedding and luggage before turning around and walking out of the mountain village.

.

Not long after he left, Pang Yuanyou and Pang Yunlong returned to the mountain stronghold.

"Smack!"

'

Pang Yuan slapped Luo Rongrong across the face, "Who gave you permission to let Zhou Yuan go down the mountain?!"

,

"His hand was injured by the forging hammer, and he can no longer continue the trial. I sent him down the mountain to see a doctor."

Luo Rongrong covered her face and explained, somewhat aggrieved.

boom!

Before she could finish speaking, Pang Yuanyou kicked her in the lower abdomen, sending her flying several steps away. After landing, Luo Rongrong clutched her stomach in pain, her body curled up like a shrimp.

Pang Yuan turned to look at Pang Yunlong, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Pang Yunlong nodded, summoned his deputy, and whispered a few instructions.

Immediately, several soldiers, fully armed, rushed out of the stronghold. At the same time, the other "trial geniuses" were also summoned to the square.

The group excitedly gathered together, discussing whose trial results were better.

They were still dreaming of becoming disciples of Shenbing Valley.

suddenly.

Hundreds of city guards surrounded them from all sides.

Before they could react, they saw the city guards raise their crossbows.

Clang!

The bowstring twanged, and bolts shot through the air.

The sound of crossbow bolts tearing through flesh shattered the tranquility of the forest with screams.

Luo Baiyan and Yue Zichuan's expressions turned serious.

"action!"

With a wave of their hands, they were the first to rush towards the mountain stronghold.

Birds in the forest took flight in fright. Zhou Yuan turned around abruptly and saw several figures rushing towards him, catching up to him in the blink of an eye.

laugh!

The newcomer raised his hand and fired a crossbow bolt, its sharp whistling tearing through the air.

When the other party raised his hand, the hair on the back of Zhou Yuan's body stood on end. He barely had time to react and instinctively used the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada technique, his body suddenly leaping forward.

The crossbow bolt grazed his ribs, tearing a hole in his clothes.

Zhou Yuan landed on his feet, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the newcomer raise the crossbow in his hand again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yuan also raised his arm.
