Chapter 2990: Aboveboard

"Meet Elder Hongwu!"

In the Tenth Elder's Mansion, Du Long, who had just returned from the Saint Lady's Palace after attending a celebration banquet, would receive awe-filled greetings every time he met any of the guards and stewards in the mansion.

As his elder ranking broke through to the top ten, his personal prestige naturally exploded, and he has grown into a being that everyone can look up to.

At the highest level of the entire Jinshan World, there are only about twenty senior personnel above him. Du Long now can definitely be regarded as the handful of people at the top of the pyramid.

Facing many awe-inspiring looks, Du Long had a spring-like smile on his face and would always respond to everyone with a slight nod.

As an outsider, it won't take long for him to leave the Jinshan world. Naturally, he doesn't need to put on airs in front of anyone.

All the way to the study room inside the mansion, he raised his eyes to signal the steward in charge of the study room not to follow him, and then he stepped into this luxurious and huge study room alone.

This is the dedicated study room of the tenth elder. There are also some affairs that he needs to take care of on weekdays.

If he doesn't want to take care of it himself, he can naturally leave certain affairs to some stewards in the mansion to handle.

Du Long naturally had no intention of taking care of these trivial matters. As early as the day he entered the mansion, he had handed over all matters to the chief steward and did not bother him unless there was something particularly important.

The stewards in the mansion were naturally happy to see his way of letting go of the boss, and the various benefits of having power would certainly be indispensable.

Sitting quietly in the large study room, Du Long looked at the extremely luxurious large study room in front of him with bright eyes, but his mind had already flown to Java Kingdom.

‘In Jinshan World, most of the major dangers fell into the hands of the families behind the Saint Son and Saint Daughter, and only the last three dangers were left as a benefit to the many elders! ’

‘Now, I have only been to the Zijihan Abyss among the three dangerous places. I have never been to the other two dangerous places, and I know very little about the conditions inside them! ’

‘Under normal circumstances, in the peripheral areas of the three major dangers, at most there are only some random Jinshan Tokens left, which have very little effect on me. ’

‘After reaching the current level of cultivation, the effect of continuing to enter the secret realm of Jinshan to practice hard has become very limited, so the Jinshan Token is no longer the item I most urgently want. ’

‘In this case, then my main goal when entering dangerous situations again is to explore the core areas of the three major dangerous situations to see if I can find an opportunity to break through the sixth level of Dzogchen Invincible Realm? ! ’

‘Among the three dangerous areas, I have only entered the Zijihan Abyss, and I know very little about the other two dangerous areas, so that’s why. . . If you want to choose one of them, it is natural to choose to enter the Zijihan Abyss. ’

‘After all, no matter which dangerous place you want to enter, you can’t avoid the eyes and ears of the Holy Son’s camp. If that’s the case, why not just go in openly? ! ’

‘. . . . . . ’

With hundreds of millions of distractions, various thoughts kept flashing through Du Long's mind, and he finally made such a decision.

Now that he had made a decision, he was too lazy to continue wasting time in the Jinshan Temple. He left the study directly and then, under the gaze of many astonished eyes, swaggered towards the main holy city outside the temple.

‘Hongwu! Where are you going in such a hurry? ! ’ Almost at the moment he hurriedly left the Jinshan Temple, the voice of Protector Zhao Pojun immediately resounded in his mind.

‘I plan to take another trip to Zijihanyuan to see if I can gain anything else! ’ Since Du Long chose to venture out openly and openly, he naturally had nothing to hide.

'What? ! ’ Zhao Pojun was immediately shocked by his reply: ‘Are you planning to venture into the Zijihan Abyss alone? ! Have you forgotten what Her Royal Highness the Saint and the Great Protector Geqiu said before? ! ’

‘I didn’t forget! ’ Du Long replied with some helplessness: ‘But I think the path to becoming a strong person should not stop because of fear of danger. You should face difficulties to have a chance of success! ’

'you. . . ’ Zhao Pojun didn’t know how to refute for a moment, and you couldn’t find the right words to continue persuading him for a long time.

'well! 'At this time, a slightly older voice sounded in the minds of the two people at the right time. It was the Great Protector Geqiu who sighed softly and said: 'Just as Elder Hongwu said, we people stop moving forward when encountering danger, so we are trapped. After endless years at the sixth level peak bottleneck, he still cannot break through and reach the legendary invincible realm! ’

‘That’s all! Since Elder Hongwu is so eager to find an invincible path, we cannot try our best to stop him. I wish Elder Hongwu can break through and reach the sixth level of invincibility! ’

‘Thank you, Great Protector Geqiu, for your understanding! ’ Du Long replied gratefully: ‘Since I have chosen to take this path, no matter what the final result is, I have no regrets! ’

‘Elder Hongwu, take care of yourself all the way! ’ Another delicate and sweet voice sounded immediately, clearly the voice of Saint Yin Feifei.

‘Thank you, Your Highness the Holy Lady. See you soon! ’ Du Long bowed his hands in the direction of the Holy Lady’s Palace, then accelerated and left the main holy city. He didn’t teleport away until he was out of the forbidden air range of the main holy city.

'well! He ended up going down this path, though. . . I knew early on that he would definitely take this path, but I thought that after persuading him, he would take the risk a little later. . . ’ The voice of Protector Geqiu sounded faintly in the minds of the saint, Zhao Pojun and others.

'yes! ’ Zhao Pojun shook his head and sighed: ‘I don’t know if it’s because our mentality is too conservative? ! Or is that kid Hongwu not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf? ! ’

‘I sent someone to check Hong Wu’s information! ’ Saint Yin Feifei responded in an elegant tone: ‘He is a cultivating madman who even dared to break into the cemetery of the gods, and he disappeared for a long time because of this! ’

‘Hong Wu broke into the God’s Cemetery? ! And because of this, he disappeared for many years and finally appeared in Jinshan World? ! ’ The Great Protector Geqiu, who had always remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed at the top, suddenly lost his voice in a rare voice.

'Yes! ’ Saint Yin Feifei responded in a deep voice: ‘Many people think that he has died in the cemetery of the gods, but they never thought. . . He actually successfully came to Jinshan World not long ago! ’

‘Can we find out the information that Elder Hongwu was lost in the Tianshen Cemetery? ! ’ Great Protector Geqiu continued to ask: ‘ According to the legend. . . Tianshen Cemetery and Jinshan World are in the same time and space, but no one knows how to enter Jinshan World from Tianshen Cemetery. Unexpectedly. . . Hong Wu actually found the legendary road? ! ’

‘The information about the Tianshen Cemetery is very limited. Hongwu’s information there cannot be verified. You can’t know it unless you ask him in person! ’ Saint Yin Feifei shook her head and sighed.

‘Those things are Hong Wu’s personal affairs! ’ Zhao Pojun’s voice sounded at the right time: ‘The most important thing now is to discuss a feasible plan. We can’t let Hongwu face the various risks that will arise in Ziji Hanyuan alone, right? ! ’

‘Pojun is right! ’ Great Protector Geqiu agreed: ‘Elder Hongwu rushed to Zijihanyuan so openly, which will definitely attract the attention of the Holy Son camp. They must be discussing how to deal with Hongwu now! ’

‘That’s right! ’ Zhao Pojun said in a cold tone: ‘Although the Holy Son has not directly summoned the guardian elders under his command, he is currently communicating with those people through spiritual consciousness, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity in front of him! 'valley

'Um! The voice of Protector Geqiu sounded again: "If something happens to Elder Hongwu because of the huge danger of Ziji Hanyuan itself, then no one can blame him, but we must not allow Elder Hongwu to be assassinated by the Holy Son camp and fall." ! ’

'How about this! ’ Saint Yin Feifei intervened at the right time: ‘Then let’s wait and see what happens and see who the Holy Son’s camp will send to the Zijihan Abyss. Then we will make corresponding preparations! ’

'OK! ’

Because Du Long ran to Ziji Hanyuan alone, the two highest camps in the entire Jinshan Temple were shaken, and each began to make corresponding arrangements in secret.

Not long after Du Long left the Jinshan Temple, a top adventure team from the Holy Son camp happened to rush to the Ziji Hanyuan, and the leader was the Sixth Guardian Baker!

In addition to Baker, the protector, there were nine elders accompanying him, including three of the top ten elders.

With such a powerful lineup heading to Ziji Hanyuan, you can even think about what is going on with your toes.

Therefore, the Saintess camp directly sent another team headed by Protector Zhao Pojun, who also rushed to Zijihanyuan!

'hateful! ’ In the Holy Womb, Holy Son Kemo heard that Zhao Pojun was leading the team to Ziji Hanyuan, and he immediately scolded with a sullen face: ‘You actually let Zhao Pojun lead the team to support? ! Is that bitch Saintess preparing to protect that bastard Hongwu? ! ’

He originally thought that Du Long would secretly rush to the three dangerous areas, but he never thought that the other party would act openly and openly under the eyes of all parties. Although doing so would expose his whereabouts in advance, it would also make it more difficult for the Holy Son camp to make secret moves.

In this way, the two teams led by the guardians rushed to Zijihanyuan not long after Du Long.

Before Du Long entered the Zijihan Abyss, he received a message from Zhao Pojun. After learning that the Holy Son and Saintess camp had sent a powerful team for him, he did not stop entering the Zijihan Abyss at all. .

In the Ziji Hanyuan, Du Long was followed by several tails, and he knew very well that they were all spies arranged by the Holy Son camp.

Sneaking along the previous route, Du Long had no intention of clearing the tail behind him, but let them follow behind him.

'no! This safe route is Protector Zhao's private route and must not be completely exposed to outsiders! ’ After sneaking along the route he had taken before for a period of time, Du Long suddenly thought of this situation and immediately gritted his teeth and changed his route.

Inside the Ziji Hanyuan, as long as you move in a general direction, no matter how the forks change, you will always end up with the same destination.

Although Du Long changed the fork he entered, as long as the direction of travel did not change, he would eventually go deep into the core area of ​​Zijihanyuan, but the dangers along the way were unpredictable.

‘This is a cave that has never been entered before. Let’s go in and see if we can harvest some Jinshan Tokens? ! ’

After carefully sneaking all the way, he finally came to a cave he had never entered before. He hesitated for only a moment before ducking into the cave.

Not long after he entered, a black figure quietly came to open the hole, immediately took out a message formation stone and sent out a message.

On the other side, the team headed by Baker quickly received the message. After reading the message, Baker looked behind him with a half-smile.

‘Get rid of the rear tail according to the original plan, it’s time to harvest the target! ’

'clear! ’

Everyone paused one after another, and then one figure after another suddenly disappeared without a trace. Only two lower-ranking elders were left on the spot, and they immediately dodged and rushed into two different forks.

'hateful! ’

Zhao Pojun, who had been following him all the way, cursed secretly and immediately led the team to the intersection. He looked at the forks in the two different directions of the passage in front of him and didn't know what to do for a while.

‘Protector Zhao! The other party should be preparing to take action. They plan to get rid of us first, and then take action against Elder Hongwu! ’ An elder who followed Protector Zhao into the Ziji Hanyuan said eagerly.

'Um! ’ Zhao Pojun said with a gloomy face: ‘I can’t contact that boy Hongwu anymore. I guess he entered a certain cave and set up a shielding circle! ’

‘What’s going on with this Hongwu? ! Didn't we already send a message telling him that there were troops pursuing him? ! How dare you put yourself in danger? ! ’ Liu Yu, the fifth-ranked elder in the Saintess camp, had an angry look on his face.

Liu Yu was already dissatisfied when he was originally sent to protect Hong Wu, who was ranked tenth. Now seeing Du Long being so willful, his dissatisfaction was immediately vented.

If it weren't for the guardian Zhao Pojun who was leading the team, Liu Yu probably wouldn't have just turned around and left.

After all, Du Long was considered an elder under Zhao Pojun, and he had to show some mercy to Protector Zhao.

Of course, this favor only counts if Du Long is not so willful. On the contrary, Liu Yufa's irritation is also understandable!

‘What’s the use of saying this now? ! ’ Zhao Pojun didn’t understand what Liu Yu was thinking, so he immediately shouted with a cold face: ‘For the current plan, we must find a way to find where Hongwu is! ’

'That kid has been unwilling to tell us his whereabouts. If he wants to die himself, who can blame him? ! ’ Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: ‘What can I do now? ! Anyway, we can do whatever Protector Zhao orders us to do! ’

Zhao Pojun glanced at Elder Liu Yu helplessly, then turned his eyes again and said in two different ways: 'That's it! It is probably impossible to split up the troops and pursue them. The only way is to hope that Hong Wu will take the previous route, and hope that he will not change lanes midway! ’

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Pojun dodged and rushed towards one of the crossings. That direction was his safe route.

Seeing this, the others ducked to follow, and their faces were not too nervous. Just as Liu Yu said, if Hongwu wanted to die himself, he couldn't blame others.

'Ha ha! Was the team led by Zhao Pojun so easily thrown away? ! It seems that even God is helping us. That boy Hongwu is definitely doomed this time! ! Hahaha. . . ’ When he received the information that the team led by Zhao Pojun had not divided up the troops and had taken the wrong crossroads, Protector Baker immediately raised his head to the sky and laughed wildly.

Originally, he was worried that Du Long would tell Zhao Pojun the marching route. In that case, it would be difficult to get rid of the team led by Zhao Pojun.

As long as he could not get rid of Zhao Pojun's team, Baker would not dare to deal with Du Long in front of them. Doing so was a serious violation, and not even the Holy Son could protect them.
