He only wanted to farm, not kill

"Tsk."

Chen Fan suddenly shook his head and laughed. These people were selective in how they gave gifts, but thinking about it, it made sense. He wouldn't give a particularly valuable Exotic Treasure to a powerful organization.

It wouldn't be so bad as to give away his "Eerie Eye".

In contrast, the Qiuhe Wang Family truly gave everything away.

He actually managed to pick out a few decent rare Exotic Treasure from among the Exotic Treasure that had already been opened.

Those two Building Blueprint.

Although it's just an ordinary building.

A blueprint for an "Arrow Tower" or a blueprint for a "City Wall" are useless to him, but he knows that such Building Blueprint are vital to a powerful family like the Qiuhe Wang Family.

"Um..

He pondered thoughtfully, thinking that once this matter was resolved, he would have a proper talk with the Wang Family Head.

After reviewing all the harvest.

Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "Keep these Unopened Exotic Treasure safe and sell them later. Get some rest."

After taking inventory of the Warehouse.

Chen Fan walked out of the Cave alone.

Upon arriving at Cave No. 2, he concealed the City Wall at the entrance and gazed at the "Nine-Five Dragon Chariot" standing quietly inside the Cave. This was a vehicle he had crafted using the corpse of the Wraith King, and he believed that no force in the entire Jiangnan possessed it.

It is Rare vehicle.

Even with Vehicle Workshop, this vehicle cannot be built.

It was pulled by nine Flame Dragon Horses.

The Flame Dragon Horse's Skeleton is larger than the Skeleton Horse, but it is still not a living creature. It looks like the remains of some ancient Exotic Beast, and its flesh is not composed of muscle fibers.

Instead, it was outlined by constantly churning and solidifying Dark Red lava.

Through its translucent skin, one could clearly see the Gold Grade liquid flowing like blood vessels within the Flame Dragon Horse's body.

One word.

Mad.

The horse's head was covered by a thick, Obsidian- like Skeleton, and its eyes were two Eternity burning incandescent Flame, without pupils, only pure light and heat, making it impossible to look directly at.

Its speed naturally far exceeds that of the Skeleton Horse.

That's equivalent to three times.

Most importantly--

Behind the nine Flame Dragon Horses, the "Dragon Chariot" is drawn by a base cast from an unknown dark gold. The carriage is made of a mixture of ancient wood and Skeleton. Nine golden pillars with coiled dragons support the carriage, and the carriage's railings are densely inlaid with irregular bone pieces, like dragon scales.

The entire piece is predominantly black, dark gold, and crimson.

Judging by appearance alone.

It's worth 50,000 Eerie Stone.

Even without any special effects, he believed that the Jiangnan Factions would be willing to buy it based solely on its appearance. It was not just a toy for spoiled young masters, but also a symbol of a power's strength.

But!

It's impossible for it to have no effect at all.

"Rise."

Standing still, Chen Fan looked at the "Nine-Five Dragon Chariot" standing in the Cave and gave a soft shout. The nine Flame Dragon Horse began to gallop rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they pulled the chariot into the air, hovering above his head.

Yes.

The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot can fly for a short time, lasting up to the time it takes for Incense Stick. Each activation requires one Eerie Stone.

This is not a flying vehicle. Even if it can fly briefly, the amount of Eerie Stone it consumes is not small.

In just a short while.

Several Eerie Stone had already been consumed.

He didn't have time to waste any more time.

He gave another soft shout.

"Now!"

The next moment -

Suddenly, the sound of mechanisms activating echoed from inside the floating Nine-Five Dragon Chariot. The chariot's base and carriages rapidly disintegrated and transformed, extending at an astounding pace.

In the blink of an eye, the carriages of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot had transformed into a Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard.

A Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard that almost completely covers the Sinkhole.

Looking up, neither the Flame Dragon Horse nor the chariot could be seen.

There is only one black and white Chessboard with 361 intersections, and each intersection can be fitted with a Cannon Tower.

The Cannon Tower embedded in the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot can break through the Camp's range restrictions and launch attacks at will, but at the cost of a significantly increased rate of consumption of Eerie Stone.

Without stopping at all.

This is not the time to think; the Eerie Stone are being consumed rapidly, and flying consumes too many Eerie Stones.

89,760 Eerie Stone shattered rapidly like flowing water within the Warehouse, turning into liquid and surging into the "Nine-Five Dragon Chariot" suspended in the air. 187 White Mourning Lantern also flew into it.

In the blink of an eye.

187 Tier Level-5 Cannon Tower are embedded at the intersections of the Chessboard lines.

The cannon is pointed at the ground.

Besides-

The 14,000 Eerie Stone shattered again, and his newly acquired 7 "Eerie Eye" also shattered.

A Level-6 Cannon Tower appears at the "Tengen" position in the very center of the Chessboard, and the remaining 6 level Level-6 Cannon Tower appear in sequence near the Tengen.

After doing all this.

He let out a soft breath and whispered, "Stop."

With a click of the mechanism, the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard retracted once more, transforming back into the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, which landed on the ground from the sky.

That's it!

He has completed the creation of the ultimate weapon Nine-Five Dragon Chariot.

It has a total of 187 Tier Level-5 Cannon Tower and 7 Tier Level-6 Cannon Tower. Theoretically speaking, its firepower is more powerful than its Meat Grinder, since it not only has a larger number of turrets, but also the Cannon Tower are more concentrated, unlike the Meat Grinder which is scattered on both sides of the rock walls of the Thousand Meters Canyon.

The night was as dark as ink, Camp was extremely quiet.

Everyone was asleep.

Chen Fan stood alone in the Sinkhole, gazing at the "Nine-Five Dragon Chariot" before him—this was the variable of freedom!

This is also the origin of the name of the Dragon Chariot.

The king's travels require security.

The Jiu Wu Dragon is responsible for providing protection for the king's travels.

There are still 8,300 Eerie Stone in the Camp.

300 were left behind to manage Camp operations, while the remaining 8,000 were taken away for the consumption of Cannon Tower and supplies. It can be said that this was a battle in which the Mortal Domain truly exhausted its resources.

Next, after the Crippled Monkey rested for a while, they prepared to set off.

The Eerie Fire was placed on the vehicle, and they traveled through the night.

The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot only has one combat form, "Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard," during which it cannot launch attacks. However, the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot has Level-2 City Wall defense and is three times faster than the Skeleton Horse.

The ordinary Strange Entities of the Eternal Night could not catch him.

The Rainy Season has ended.

It's also unlikely that there will be such a large-scale Strange Tide anymore.

Eat while it's hot.

Killing should be done as soon as possible.

Chen Fan did not return to the Cave, but instead lay down in the driver's seat of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, looking up at the Sinkhole shrouded in darkness above and murmuring to himself.

"It's been so long since I've seen the stars..."

He just wanted to stay in one place and live out the rest of his life safely.

But why do people always have to pressure him?

He only wanted to farm, not kill.

Chen Fan isn't the only one who's sleepless tonight.

The Pill Sect.

This sect was not located on a mountaintop, but rather built a small city on a plain. The city was inhabited only by its own disciples, while a larger city was located next to it for merchants to stay in.

Inside a house in the small town.

An Elderly Man with a gloomy expression picked up Message Talisman and began issuing orders.

" With the Jiangnan Rainy Season, the 'Shadow Hall' spared no effort in sending men to Jiangbei to launch a top-level assassination attempt on Chen Fan, the leader of the Mortal Sect! His subordinates were also on the assassination list."

"The Commerce Hall, listen to my command! Put pressure on the Northbank Merchant Association to refuse any Exotic Treasure from the Mortal Sect. I want to ensure that none of the Mortal Sect's harvest during the Rainy Season will be sold and will rot in their Warehouse."

"Pill Hall, heed my command! Send a message to the forces allied with the Pill Sect: after the Rainy Season ends, if Mortal Sect dare to set foot in Jiangnan, they must be stopped outside Jiangnan."

"The Publicity Hall, listen to my command: Announce to the outside world that any force that associates with or trades with the Mortal Sect is a mortal enemy of the Pill Sect."

"The 'Formation Hall' is under command..."

After a dozen or so orders were issued in succession.

The Elderly Man leaned back in his chair, a glint of pleasure flashing in his eyes as he glanced at the Ghosthide Map on the table. He muttered to himself, "Play with me? A mere Jiangbei power that has just risen during the Rainy Season. Trying to play with my Pill Sect? I'll make sure you don't even know how you died."

He wanted to force Chen Fan to come to the Pill Sect in despair and personally kowtow and Apology.

Then he invited a group of powerful figures to watch, and Slaying Chen Fan on the spot.

Let everyone see what happens when you offend the Pill Sect!

Northbank City is extremely lively tonight.

After returning from the Nameless Mountain, many factions settled in Northbank City, preparing to go to Flat City to collect corpses the next day. They also received orders from their respective factions.

It's basically all in one sentence.

Observe and wait; do not intervene.

The name "Pill Sect" carries considerable weight.

"Father."

Holding the Message Talisman, Qi Feng said anxiously, "Are we really not going to interfere? With the power of the Mortal Sect plus our Medicine King Valley, we can definitely destroy the Pill Sect."

"The power of the Mortal Sect?"

The Elderly Man's hoarse voice came from the other end of the Message Talisman: "What power does the Mortal Sect have? It certainly has strength within its own territory, but outside of its own territory, it can't even touch the Pill Sect before being played to death by the Pill Sect."

"The strength of a power is not solely determined by how strong its territory is."

It depends more on how far your hand can reach.

"The Mortal Sect is still too immature; it lacks the ability to reach out, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Sect Leader Chen can demonstrate enough courage to send Subordinate Night Watcher to self-destruct at the Pill Sect, Medicine King Valley will definitely be willing to join forces with the Mortal Sect against the Pill Sect. He has to make the first move before we can help him; otherwise, we'll just be taking the fall for the Mortal Sect."

"Father."

Qi Feng took a deep breath and said seriously, "I had a very pleasant conversation with Sect Leader Chen today. He definitely has the courage. If we announce our support for him now, instead of waiting for him to take action, wouldn't the return be greater for Medicine King Valley?"

Didn't you also say you wanted to befriend the Mortal Sect?

After a long silence on the other end of the Message Talisman, a weary Elderly Man's voice finally came through.

Qi Feng.

"You must remember that for a power to endure long enough, it doesn't need to reap the greatest rewards, but rather to obtain a certain level of return while minimizing risks. As long as a power endures long enough, it will eventually develop and prosper."

In short, remember this!

"Mortal Sect doesn't make a move, Medicine King Valley won't show any reaction. But if the Mortal Sect dares to risk everything, Medicine King Valley will definitely support them."

That's all.

The Message Talisman is cut off.

Qi Feng sat silently by the window of the Inn, no longer speaking. He was born into a noble family, and the Pill Sect Young Master had never bullied him like this before. He had only heard that the Pill Sect Young Master liked to bully the weak, but he hadn't thought much of it until he saw it today.

He put himself in Chen Fan's shoes, and just thinking about it made him feel utterly hopeless.

Having overcome countless crises during the Rainy Season to rise and establish the Mortal Sect, the day when all sects came to congratulate them was a reward for the Mortal Sect's struggles during the Rainy Season. It was a day to be in high spirits.

The Pill Sect Young Master came to humiliate them.

If you don't get angry, you'll never be able to hold your head up again.

But it is certainly satisfying to be angry.

How should we deal with the crisis that followed from the Pill Sect?

He didn't know.

It was this feeling that made him eager to help Chen Fan.

"Young Master."

Just then, the Elderly Man who had been following behind him slowly pushed open the door and entered, walking behind Qi Feng and saying softly, "The Valley Master asked me to come and advise you. Your biggest flaw since childhood has been that you are too easily empathetic."

"The Valley Master doesn't want you to leave the valley because he's afraid you won't be able to accept the ways of the world, but you will eventually inherit Medicine King Valley, so you need to harden your heart."

You don't need to put yourself in Chen Fan's shoes.

You will never suffer such humiliation in your life.

Everyone has their own destiny.

"Everyone has their own destiny. Interfering too much in other people's karma will not only fail to save them, but will also harm yourself."

"Elder Xu."

Qi Feng looked at the Elderly Man behind him. "If the situation is truly critical, can you intervene to save Chen Fan?"

"Cannot."

The Elderly Man shook his head. "It's not that he's unwilling, but that his strength doesn't allow it. The retaliation from the Pill Sect isn't what you imagine, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. Chen Fan will slowly be boiled to death. His only way out is to go to the Pill Sect and self-destruct after the Jiangnan Rainy Season, before they finish setting up their plans."

"Otherwise, we'll just get played to death."

"By the time he realized what was happening, he was already too weak to resist."

"Go to sleep."

After a long silence, Qi Feng did not speak, but continued to stand by the window. He was thinking, why is there a person like the Pill Sect Young Master in this world? Why must he bully others when they have no vested interest in him?

Qi Yue.

Inside the Inn in Northbank City, Gongyang Yue leaned against the Jiangbei Old Devil and whispered, "Can the Mortal Sect withstand the retaliation from the Pill Sect?"

"It's hard to say."

The Green-Robed Man shook his head and said softly, "It's difficult for the Pill Sect invade the Mortal Sect if they use force, but I'm afraid they might resort to underhanded tactics."

"Can you save him? He respects you a lot; out of so many people, he only calls you 'senior'."

She likes everyone who respects the Jiangbei Old Devil.

"It can be saved."

The Green-Robed Man paused for a moment before nodding. "If he's willing to leave this place with me tomorrow and find another place to settle down, he can escape this calamity, but..."

"But what?"

"But he probably wouldn't want to; after all the hard work he'd put into building this empire, nobody's willing to just throw it away like that."

Time passed little by little.

Two hours passed quickly.

It was the middle of the night.

The Crippled Monkey and others regained consciousness and stood at the Cave entrance, ready to set off.

Chen Fan jumped down from the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and looked at Wang Kui: "You stay behind to guard the base. This Token grants temporary Access Rights to almost all buildings in the Mortal Sect. No one is allowed to trespass into the Mortal Domain Realm territory. Violators will be killed without exception."

The rest of you, follow me.

Without stopping at all.

Zhou Mo and the others entered the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot one by one. The interior space was very large, equivalent to half the area of Sinkhole, which was more than enough to accommodate all of them.
