Guizu Mountain suddenly shook, and the birds and wild beasts within the mountain fled in all directions.
"Is it an earthquake?"
The villagers of Dama Village ran out of their houses and looked outside.
With one look, the group of simple villagers was all shocked.
Oh God, it really was an earthquake.
On the other hand, they did not hear the thunderous shout just now very clearly.
...
The imperial capital, the imperial city.
Nightingale quickly came to Xia Zhuyuan's side and reported, "Your Majesty, the people from the Medicine God Valley have invaded the Wu Dynasty. Their battleship is now at Guizu Mountain..."
"The Medicine God Valley!" The Empress's face turned cold. "The Wu Dynasty has never had any dealings with them. Why would they suddenly barge into our kingdom?"
"They might be here for senior Chen," Zhang Mu said.
"It's very possible."
Nightingale had been searching for Yan Jin on the orders of the Empress, but before she could find the other party, she received a report from the intelligence department of the Embroidery Pavilion that forces from the Medicine God Valley had entered the Central Region. She did not expect them to be coming for the Wu Dynasty.
"Let's go and take a look."
Xia Zhuyuan was worried about Chen Xuan and quickly left the palace.
...
In the Yan Kingdom, The Yan Emperor stood in front of the mirror, stroking his beard. He was a little nervous. "The Wu Dynasty had just ended their war with the Tianmo Sect, and now they are being targeted by the Medicine God Valley? That's a Holy Land! How did the Wu Dynasty offend such a giant?"
"Your Majesty, the Medicine God Valley is a saint-level faction, far more powerful than the Tianmo Sect. Their holy leader is a tier-3 Dao Entry realm celestial. We should be watching his every move."
"That makes sense. Send someone to keep watch now," The Yan Emperor ordered.
With that, several of the most powerful men of the Yan Kingdom flew quickly toward the Wu Dynasty's Guizu Mountain.
...
In the Tang Kingdom, the Tang Emperor looked at a monk beside him.
"Holy Monk, what opinions do you have on the matter this time regarding the Medicine God Valley's barging into the Wu Dynasty?"
"I think this matter no longer involves the Wu Dynasty alone but the entire Central Region. We should unite against a common enemy when facing a saint-level faction," the monk named Sanzang replied.
The Tang Emperor felt that everything the monk said made sense, so he immediately sent someone to check on the situation.
...
In Yuanming Holy land, Holy Leader Yuanming, who was sitting in a grand hall waved his hand and said angrily, "To think that fellow Yan Wuyi would suddenly send his men barging into the Central Region without even saying a word, he's not respecting me at all."
"Holy leader, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
"Send someone to the Wu Dynasty to find out what the Medicine God Valley is up to."
"Yes."
...
Ziyang Sect.
"Sect leader, we supply many of the Medicine God Valley's herbs. Now that the Medicine God Valley's holy leader has sent someone to the Central Region, I wonder if it has anything to do with our recent bargaining. I think we should pay more attention to this matter," an elder said.
Sect Leader Ziyang nodded. "Supplying herbs is a major source of income for us. If the Medicine God Valley were to bypass us and look for a new supplier, it would be disadvantageous to us. This is a serious matter, we have to pay close attention to it."
...
The various forces of the Central Region were watching the Medicine God Valley's every move.
After all, the Medicine God Valley had sent out two War Gods in the peak Martial God realm.
One had to know that the top powers of some ordinary countries and forces were only in the Martial Saint realm.
It would already be pretty good if they could produce a Martial God.
Only those who had brilliant battle records could be titled War Gods.
There was not a single War God in the entire Wu Dynasty. Rather, the number of War Gods in the entire Central Region could be counted on one hand.
But now, the Medicine God Valley had sent two such War Gods.
Anyone with eyes could tell that the Medicine God Valley was up to something.
Hence, when Yu Rong and Long Kun, the two War Gods, made their move, many started to pay attention to them.
And now, just as Yu Rong and Long Kun arrived at Guizu Mountain, the secret agents of the various forces had also arrived.
"The one who attacked just now was War God Long Kun, right? He's too terrifying. With just a stomp of his foot, he caused an earthquake, and half of the entire Guizu Mountain collapsed."
"Guizu Mountain is respected as the land of fortune in the Central Region. Its status is extraordinary. If the two War Gods want to destroy the entire mountain range, I'm afraid that there will be saint-level factions coming forward to stop them."
"The two War Gods have fought countless battles. They must be very cautious, so they only destroyed half of the mountain and not the whole mountain range. Their purpose is not to start a war. It seems like they have another purpose for coming here."
The various forces were paying attention.
At this moment, Yu Rong and Long Kun alighted from the warship.
"Since we've already stated our purpose, let's go in and take a look."
"Yes, let's go."
Whoosh.
The two War Gods rushed into Guizu Mountain.
...
In Dama Village, Chen Xuan led his female disciple to the entrance of the village.
"What's the matter? Was it an earthquake?"
"Yes, it was an earthquake. Half of Guizu Mountain collapsed. Fortunately, our village was not affected."
"No one got hurt, right?"
"The dog shed of the Xiao Wang family at the side of the village collapsed, but no one was injured."
"That's good." Chen Xuan looked at the crowd and said, "This earthquake might scatter the wild beasts in the mountains. It won't be easy to hunt any time soon. Tell the villagers to prepare food in advance. As for water, you can get it from me."
Normally, the villagers would go to the mountains to get water from the stream.
Only Chen Xuan had an ancient well gifted from the system.
When Yan Jin heard that, she was shocked. The water from her master's well was spiritual dew. She had only been willing to use it to cook for the past few days and usually went to the mountains to get water when she needed to wash up. But to think her master would give the spiritual dew to the villagers as their daily drinking water just like that. Wasn't her master too magnanimous?
Yan Jin was a little reluctant, but looking at her master's attitude, he would definitely not change his mind.
"The master's attitude towards the villagers is extremely amiable. He clearly knows that there are powerful cultivators clamoring for battle outside, but he only told the villagers that it was an earthquake. Is this to make the villagers feel at ease?" Yan Jin thought to herself.
In her heart, taking senior Chen as her master was the best thing she had ever done in her life.
She had followed the Empress for three years, but she hadn't learned as much as she had learned from her master in the past few days.
As for Chen Xuan, he was looking out of the mountain. "During the earthquake earlier on, I think I heard someone shouting something. I wonder if anyone in the mountain is injured. If there is, it should be able to bring me some revenue."
There was no lack of food and clothing in the mountain, but in terms of financial capabilities, Chen Xuan was still relatively poor. After all, the villagers would usually not pay their medical bills with money. They operated through barter and would either give him white radishes, cabbages, or the sort. At this point, he had almost lost all concepts of money.
However, he couldn't possibly stay in the mountains forever.
Therefore, he had to make preparations for his departure from the mountain in the future and think of ways to earn some money first.
Just as he was thinking, he saw two men walking over.
The two men walked steadily and exuded a fierce aura. They even had sabers on their backs, obviously not to be trifled with.
"Yan Jin!"
"Yu Rong, Long Kun!"
Yan Jin's eyes turned sharp when she saw the two of them.
She didn't expect the holy leader to be so generous. To think that just to bring her back, he had sent the two War Gods, Yu Rong and Long Kun, here.
However, Yan Jin was unafraid because her master was here.
Chen Xuan looked at the two and muttered to himself, "Yan Jin knows the two of them, so they must be the people she mentioned who want to bring her home. Well, I have just accepted this disciple, and the system's reward has not yet arrived. I can't let the two of them take her away."
Even though Chen Xuan knew that the two weren't to be trifled with, he still felt that as Yan Jin's master, he should step forward at such a moment!
