Zhang Chongxian: Enter the Tree Hollow

Seeing Zhang Chongxian's resolute yet somewhat melancholic gaze, Chu Zhiwei came to his side, tilted her head back, blinked her large eyes, and whispered:

"Judging from your words, your Lineage is in trouble?"

"If you can't handle this with your strength, have you offended some Nascent Soul or some Nascent Soul power?"

Judging from the battle just now, Zhang Chongxian's strength is no less than that of Golden Core Peak.

That's why she had that idea.

However, Zhang Chongxian simply shook his head slightly.

He said, "No, the threat facing my Lineage is not significant."

"I just want to become as strong as possible so that fewer of my Family Cultivator will be sacrificed during the great battle."

Hearing this, Chu Zhiwei rolled her eyes. She had thought Zhang Chongxian's Lineage was facing some kind of annihilation.

I just feel like I've been emotionally deceived.

Zhang Chongxian clearly noticed Chu Zhiwei's expression and chuckled inwardly; this woman was quite compassionate.

He's just a bit dim-witted.

Throughout the journey, Chu Zhiwei kept chattering away, asking questions about this and that.

Zhang Chongxian originally didn't want to answer, but he couldn't resist her coquettishness.

I felt quite helpless.

Even when injured, they won't stop; it's really a headache.

Suddenly, an Early Third Stage Golden Spear Snake King, coiled around a branch, lunged at Chu Zhiwei, who was completely unprepared.

Zhang Chongxian, who had initially appeared perfunctory, suddenly turned cold.

"Court death!"

Before the words had even finished, the Lin Jin Sword was suddenly drawn and thrust out from beside Chu Zhiwei's ear.

A flash of Sword-Ray appeared, and the Lin Jin Sword pierced into the mouth of the Golden Spear Snake King.

The next moment, it emerged from the tail, bringing with it a large amount of blood.

Zhang Chongxian flashed forward and grabbed the corpse of the Golden Spear Snake King, which was still hurtling towards Chu Zhiwei due to inertia.

Store it in your Storage Ring.

This is the third Golden Core demon Demon Beast slain.

It seems that killing ten Golden Core Demon Beast and obtaining their Essence Blood is not too difficult.

The reason the Golden Spear Snake King died so easily was because it didn't expect that these two old men had been hiding their strength.

So much more was hidden.

That snake demon didn't die unjustly.

Just as Zhang Chongxian was secretly pleased with himself, Chu Zhiwei's admiring voice came from inside.

Grab his arm and shake it hard.

"Zhang Chongxian, you're amazing!"

He's so handsome and manly!

He's more handsome than any sword cultivator I've ever met before.

Zhang Chongxian was completely bewildered by Chu Zhiwei's exaggerated words.

Whose young lady is this anyway? She's over two hundred years old and still so unruly.

With a personality like that, it's probably a miracle that he can survive in this Yunjin Barren Ruins.

"Don't do that, we're not that familiar with each other yet."

Furthermore, you should remain vigilant at all times in this Yunjin Barren Ruins.

You shouldn't trust a stranger like me so much.

Understand?"

"If you don't understand, you don't understand." With that, Chu Zhiwei nudged Zhang Chongxian's arm a few times with her shoulder.

He said, "You didn't do anything to me, did you? That proves I didn't misjudge you."

And I've only ever done this with you.

Other men might think, "I wouldn't want to either."

You should be secretly happy.

After saying that, Chu Zhiwei seemed to have thought of something, and glared fiercely at Zhang Chongxian, drawing out her words.

"Oh, I see. You think I'm nagging, right?"

I haven't told you where the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass is yet, so it's no use if you look down on me.

We can only endure it.

Ha ha ha ha."

At this point, Chu Zhiwei couldn't help but burst into laughter, which aggravated her injuries, causing her to wince in pain.

Zhang Chongxian turned his head and glanced at it, about to say something, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a very hidden tree hole.

The tree hole was surrounded by several large trees and concealed by bushes.

You absolutely wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely. Add some concealment arrays and soundproofing arrays, and it's practically perfect.

Chu Zhiwei a little uncomfortable seeing that Zhang Chongxian did not show any disdain.

He reached out and waved his hand in front of Zhang Chongxian's eyes.

But he grabbed her wrist directly.

"Come with me." Zhang Chongxian's tone carried a hint of joy; they had finally found a good place to retreat and heal their injuries.

Chu Zhiwei, whose wrist was grabbed by Zhang Chongxian and who was being dragged away, had her cheeks flushed red.

It's common knowledge that the feeling of teasing someone is completely different from the feeling of being teased.

Chu Zhiwei is in this situation now.

What are you doing?

"Go into the tree hole."

Chu Zhiwei:

If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Chongxian's eyes, Chu Zhiwei would have slapped him right now.

The two entered the tree hollow, observed their surroundings, and were fairly satisfied.

The cave is not large, but it can still accommodate five or six people.

After using the Dust Purification Spell to clear away the debris inside the tree hole.

Zhang Chongxian arrived at the cave entrance and quickly set up several Third Stage Array Plate.

It's not high-level, but it's enough to deter most Demon Beast and cultivators from detecting it.

If they are still discovered, then force will be the only solution.

Seeing Zhang Chongxian, Chu Zhiwei's interest in him grew even stronger.

Before she could speak, she saw Zhang Chongxian extend his right hand towards her.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "What?"

Without a second thought, Zhang Chongxian replied, "One thousand Spirit Stone."

Consider this payment for the protection you received from the great formation.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhiwei gritted her teeth and glared at Zhang Chongxian expression was serious.

Damn it!

That's absolutely outrageous!

He immediately took out a thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Ring and placed them at Zhang Chongxian's feet.

His chest heaving. "Is this alright?"

Zhang Chongxian looked at the thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stone at his feet, a hint of unease appearing on his face.

He said, "You gave me the wrong thing. I wanted a thousand Low-grade Spirit Stone."

Furthermore, don't you understand the principle of not flaunting wealth?

What if I harbor ill intentions towards you? What will you do then...?

Before Zhang Chongxian could finish speaking, Chu Zhiwei interrupted him, "A thousand Low-grade Spirit Stone? Who do you think you are?"

This young lady only has Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

Also, I don't understand the principle of not flaunting wealth. If you want to rob me, then go ahead and rob me.

You can kill me if you want.

After saying that, Chu Zhiwei grumbled and walked to the deepest part of the tree hole, took out a futon from her Storage Ring, and sat down on it.

Then, after swallowing a pill that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, he began to recover.

Zhang Chongxian sighed at this.

He picked up ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones from the ground, then leaned against the entrance of the tree hole, silently guarding it.

Chu Zhiwei, noticing the situation inside the cave, smiled slightly...

One month later, at Xuanxiao Mountain.

At this moment, the decision-making power of the Zhang Family once again fell into the hands of Zhang Hongzhan cultivation had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Peak.

He showed no joy whatsoever; he only wanted to go into seclusion and cultivate.

Because his wife, Lin Wanqing, announced her seclusion a month ago and broke through to the Golden Core stage.

However, his idea of going into seclusion in the short term is clearly unlikely, because Zhang Xuanchen has already taken Luo Lingshuang and the Great Sage to the Dark Night Forest.

He was temporarily put in charge of handling Lineage affairs.

As time passed, the aura emanating from Zhang Zujun's cultivation cave abode deep within the Ancestral Grounds grew increasingly powerful. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would be able to undergo the Golden Core Tribulation in another month.

Whether or not a breakthrough can be achieved at that time depends entirely on fate.

In the Spirit Vein region where the Zhang Family resides, all major industries have gotten on track and are making steady progress.
