A Huo's words silenced the room.
After a long pause, Chen Mu finally spoke.
"Great! As the saying goes, a good man's ambition lies in all directions. A Huo, I will definitely give you my full support if you have this plan!"
Come! This cup of wine is for you. I hope you master the art of Sword Dao and come back to help me dominate the Wilderness! Haha..."
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Then... I'll toast you too!"
Chen Duo also picked up her wine glass, her eyes slightly red.
A Huo appeared in her life when she was six years old, although she was a little afraid of A Huo at first.
But as time went on, she discovered that A Huo was a very good person, though a little naive. He would confide in anyone who treated him well.
Now that he's leaving, Chen Duo feels empty inside, yet she doesn't know what to say.
" Duoduo, take care of yourself! I'll miss you."
A Huo poured himself a glass of wine, turned it towards Chen Duo, and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Duo drank the wine in her hand; the pungent smell made her frown.
"Then I'll raise a toast to you too, wishing you a bright future!"
Mingye raised his wine glass and toasted A Huo, breaking the somber atmosphere between the two.
Next, Chen Hongjie, Chen Zihu, and others each raised a glass of wine to bid farewell to A Huo.
Legend has it that in the Wilderness, there exists a mysterious force called the Wilderness Divine Temple, which usually ignores the disputes among mortals.
However, they do not allow experts above the Core Formation Realm to participate in tribal wars. If anyone dares to violate this prohibition, the Temple will send an envoy to severely punish the tribe to which the violator belongs.
Therefore, in the Wilderness, the most powerful forces are the advanced tribes. Although some advanced tribes have Core Formation Realm cultivators guarding them, they dare not easily take action unless faced with a life-or-death situation.
Since Chen Mu earned a large amount of contribution points at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion through the Floating Light and Fleeting Shadow Disc, he has been inquiring about information about the Flame Blessing Tribe through the Listening Wind Tower.
The Flame Blessing Tribe is one of the Eight Great High Tribes in the Wilderness. It is said that in recent years they have been fighting with the Mystic Heaven Tribe, which is also one of the Eight Great High Tribes, and have won more battles than they have lost. They have occupied a lot of the Mystic Heaven Tribe's territory and are showing signs of becoming the largest tribe in the Wilderness.
Chen Mu's father, Chen Haoran, began serving as the leader of a vanguard force of the Flame Blessing Tribe three years ago, where he made outstanding military achievements.
Although the intelligence report didn't specify Chen Haoran's exact life in the Flame Blessing Tribe, the fact that he was appointed as the leader of the vanguard meant he was highly valued, which put Chen Mu at ease.
Previously, Chen Mu lacked the strength to venture out and search for his father, fearing it might backfire.
But now that he has a certain ability to protect himself, he has begun to make plans to contact his father.
The reason why my father was willing to be a slave in the Flame Blessing Tribe was not only because his life was hanging by a thread at the time, but more importantly, to protect Chen Village and his two children, Chen Mu and Chen Duo.
Chen Village is thriving now. As long as the Spear Squad and the Cannon Squad team are formed, even if the Flame Blessing Tribe sends a large army in the future, we will at least have the strength to fight. Therefore, there is no need for Father to stay in the Flame Blessing Tribe now.
However, the Flame Blessing Tribe must still have ways to control slaves, so rescuing the parents will not be so simple and will require a long-term plan.
Chen Mu and his three companions stayed in Chen Village for another three days.
During these three days, A Huo, Chen Duo, and Mingye spent time instructing the newly formed Chen Village Spear Squad, the Spear Squad squad and the Cannon Squad Cannon Squad, enabling both squads to gain a certain level of combat capability.
Currently, the villagers of Chen Village are still somewhat lacking in strength. However, the resources that Chen Mu brought back from the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion have caused their overall strength to increase rapidly again. It is believed that after a few more months, Chen Village will undergo another major transformation.
Chen Mu also upgraded the defensive array of Chen Village, making the mechanical fortress more intelligent. With the addition of Rune Puppet No. 1 forming a patrol line in the village, the defense became more flexible and adaptable, and could cope with more complex situations.
Now that they had the teleportation array, Chen Mu wasn't in a hurry to use all his research at once. After making some simple upgrades, he set off with A Huo and the other two to return to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
Anyway, he can come back anytime he wants in the future, but each time he comes back, he will have to spend a lot of Spirit Stone, which Chen Mu finds very painful, but it is a necessary expense, so he can only swallow it.
This time, Chen Mu didn't use a spaceship when returning to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion; instead, he used a small teleportation array in the talisman-making room.
Before returning to the Wilderness, Chen Mu had already planned to use the teleportation array when returning to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, so he had already obtained the coordinates of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion's teleportation array.
Next to the mountain gate of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, there is a large teleportation array open to the public. Anyone who knows the coordinates can connect to the teleportation array there.
Inside the room where the teleportation array was located, Chen Mu imprinted the coordinate information onto the array's runes using his Divine Soul. The pale blue light pillar on the teleportation array surged violently, and then established a connection with the teleportation array at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
Who goes there?
From within the pillar of light, a man's voice inquired.
Although the teleportation array of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion is open to the public, an enforcement disciple will verify the identity of anyone who wants to teleport there; it's not something that just anyone can use.
"Disciples Chen Mu, Chen Duo, Mingye, and Qi Huo are returning to the academy. Please allow us to proceed, Senior Brother!"
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he took out the identity badges of the four people and activated them. Four Spiritual Power runes flew out from the badges and entered the teleportation array.
Each person on the identity plaque of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion has a unique Spiritual Power inscription. Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall can verify their identity by checking the inscription.
After a while, a voice came from the other end of the teleportation array.
"Identity verified, gate open!"
Chen Mu nodded to the others and stepped into the teleportation array first.
Buzz...!
This teleportation was much more unpleasant than the one during the entrance exam; my mind was spinning and I was completely out of control.
In a daze, he felt as if a voice was calling to him from afar.
He tried hard to concentrate, wanting to hear clearly what the distant sound was, but it was as if there was a transparent membrane between his consciousness and the distant sound; it seemed so close, yet he could never get close.
He was still trying when his consciousness suddenly plummeted, and then he regained it.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw distant mountains shrouded in mist, surrounded by open mountainous terrain.
Beneath his feet was a massive array pattern, with a dozen or so white-robed law enforcement disciples positioned around him, several of whom were observing him with great interest.
After a while, Mingye, A Huo, and Chen Duo appeared beside him one after another.
"Alright! You can leave after you pay the fee."
The squad leader among the law enforcement disciples indifferently extended his hand to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu nodded knowingly. He had inquired with other disciples beforehand and knew that using this large teleportation array was not free; everyone had to pay a fee based on the teleportation distance.
After all, this teleportation array consumes Spirit Stone energy every time it is activated. If everyone uses it as their daily mode of transportation without paying a fee, even the wealthy Heaven-Questioning Pavilion cannot afford to burn through it like that.
He immediately took out a handful of Spirit Stone from his storage ring, handed them to the enforcement disciple, and then led Chen Duo and the others away.
"Hey! Wait a minute, you didn't give us enough Spirit Stone!"
