A month later, Zhan Chen finally arrived at his destination, which was the first time he saw this giant city after half a year, and he sighed for a while.

Entering the giant city, he came to the military camp in the city, and after showing his identity token, he was temporarily arranged in the dormitory area, waiting for the order from above, so Zhan Chen got a short rest.

However, a wave of turmoil seemed to follow with his return, following Zhan Chen's return, one after another, some outer and inner disciples who participated in the treasure exploration of the Cold Mountain Mausoleum returned to the Northern Cold City, and also brought back the secrets in the Mausoleum.

For a while, the news that the treasures of the people of the Cold Mountain Dao were hidden in this snow-capped mountain also spread, causing an uproar in the northern cold land, and countless treasure hunters gathered one after another.

Of course, these things were no longer Zhan Chen's concern, and as the first batch of treasure hunters, he naturally reaped enough benefits.

It didn't take long for another piece of news to cause an even bigger sensation, the elite disciples of the Demon Luo Sect who participated in the treasure exploration returned, but only two survived!

According to Gongzi Bai, they all died in the process of searching for treasures, but what is the truth of the facts? I'm afraid only a few people can know.

Eight out of ten elite disciples were killed, and this was definitely a big event that caused a sensation in the entire Demon Luo Sect!

For a while, there was a shock up and down, and the upper echelons of the Demon Luo Sect even sent a great elder-level figure to investigate the matter.

Of course, these are not Zhan Chen's concerns, he just sighed, it seems that he is not the only lucky person, there are still many people who can escape from that death trap. However, it was the death rate of the elite disciples that surprised him, and it seemed that the Hanshan Daoist must have laid some trap in the place where he died.

However, everything was just his speculation, and in the end, did the body of the Hanshan Daoist be taken out? Who did it fall into? Has the so-called treasure been discovered and stolen? Who is the biggest winner of the mausoleum expedition? How many people have managed to escape? There are different opinions.

After learning that Gongzi Bai had returned to the camp, Zhan Chen quickly went to see him again, after all, nominally speaking, he was still a pawn under him, and now there was still half a year to spend in this northern cold place, and it was impossible for him to get rid of the shackles of the Demon Luo Sect for the time being, and he had to rely on this Senior Brother Bai.

But he was told that Senior Brother Bai was in retreat, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that this son Bai would have the same adventures as himself in the Hanshan Mausoleum.

After about two weeks, Zhan Chen was able to see him, and immediately felt that Gongzi Bai's spiritual temperament seemed to have become more aggressive, more and more vigorous, obviously adding a lot of strength, so he immediately saluted and said, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Bai on going to the next level." ”

Gongzi Bai was surprised to see Zhan Chen, because Zhan Chen was the only one of the six inner disciples he brought into the Hanshan Mausoleum to see him, and he was also the one with the lowest cultivation, but at this time he was on the rise, so he didn't think much about it, and said with emotion: "Senior Brother Zhan, we finally met again, and the others are still missing." ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Bai, I was also in a daze, I found my way out by mistake, and I was lucky to be able to come to see you. ”

"Even if I can be alive, even if I am lucky, this time our Demon Luo Sect has suffered a lot of losses, I am afraid that some people from the sect will be transferred soon, and when the time comes, I will reorganize the team and still guard Cui Weiling, you can go with me." ”

"Yes, then, when are we going to reassemble and go. ”

"Wait for the notice. ”

"Obey, Senior Brother Bai, I won't disturb your rest. ”

"Well, let's go down. ”

Coming out of Gongzi Bai, Zhan Chen was relieved, he came to the elixir pavilion in the Northern Cold City, and after using the large number of yuan stones obtained from the Hanshan Mausoleum this time, he replenished a large number of urgently needed elixirs, and began to resume retreat cultivation.

It was an incomparably long process from the beginning of the Martial King to the middle level of the Martial King, and even with the help of the pill, it would take years and months, which was unhurried.

Half a month later, he followed Gongzi Bai to Cui Weiling again to continue the garrison mission, and before he knew it, nearly half a year had passed, and Zhan Chen's cultivation life was also uneventful, and with the assistance of the pill, his cultivation was getting closer and closer to the middle-level realm of the Martial King.

However, after all, he had a task on his body, so Zhan Chen had not been able to retreat and cultivate to his heart's content, and could only refine some simple pills below the sixth rank for refining, so the growth of his cultivation was not particularly powerful.

However, as soon as he had time, he practiced the Golden Hidden Sword Sutra and the Feihong Ying Snow Step, which made great progress in both martial arts.

Therefore, although Zhan Chen's cultivation is still at the beginning of the Martial King, his combat power is not the same as before.

Finally persevered until the day of returning to the sect, Zhan Chen looked extremely happy, and thought: "I am finally leaving this northern cold land, after the inner disciple has performed a compulsory task, he can have three years of free time, I want to make good use of this time to work hard to improve my cultivation!"

There was always a sense of urgency in Zhan Chen's heart, because he clearly remembered that at the beginning, Yin Xuehai's plan to concentrate his minions to invade the south would be fifteen years later. And now, it has been four or five years since he came to the Demon Luo Sect, and he only has ten years left for himself.

During these ten years, he had to persist in lurking in the Demon Sect, and finally tell Li Jianshu and Ling Xiaotian about the time and plan of their invasion.

That's why he is so desperately looking for strength, and only strength is the guarantee of survival and completion of the task!

On this day, Gongzi Bai, Wang Feng, Zhan Chen and others finally ushered in the team that replaced them, and after the handover of the two sides, Gongzi Bai led some of the disciples whose tasks had expired and marched in the direction of the Demon Luo Sect.

On the way home, there was a lot of laughter in the team, not only because they were about to end this difficult defense mission, but also because they survived and became the ultimate victors.

Guarding the Yuan Stone Mine is a veritable fat difference, almost everyone is more or less greedy, and now I hope to return to Moluo City as soon as possible and splurge it.

As a result, the road that would have taken more than three months to complete was completed in only two months.

When they saw the magnificent Mora City again, everyone cheered.

They continued their march into the city and returned to the Shadow Peak, where Gongzi Bai announced that he had disbanded the group.

The outer disciples naturally went back to the outer gate, and Zhan Chen's inner disciples and elite disciples naturally had to go back to recover their lives.

So the group went up to the Demon Hall to meet Chang Da. Chang Da was also very surprised to see Zhan Chen come back alive, but this time he didn't embarrass Zhan Chen anymore, and said some words of praise and comfort to a few people: "Gongzibai, you have worked hard, I heard that in the past year and a half, the northern cold land has not been very peaceful, but you can all do your best, fulfill your duties, and are not afraid of sacrifice, and you should be rewarded for completing this difficult task! You can go back and rest, don't forget to receive your reward." ”

"Elder Xie Chang!" everyone's faces were filled with joy again.

Only then did Zhan Chen remember that there were still 500,000 merit points to take to complete this mandatory task, and he had expectations in his heart, what benefits could the merit points of the Demon Luo Sect get from the inner gate?
