(The new volume has begun, and the later storylines are unfolding, and it still needs to be carefully conceived and repeatedly weighed, so the update will be a bit slow during this period. Please forgive me, brothers...)

The Wuteng Desert lies between Tushan and Yuanwu and Shangyuan counties, which are narrow in the north and south, and are short in the east and west, occupying almost most of the territory of Yuanwu and Shangyuan counties. Yunzhong County is located in the northeast corner of the Wuteng Desert.

The wind is howling, and the sand sea is like golden waves under the setting sun, slowly unfolding in front of you. The sky flames floating like purple clouds on the top of Mount Tushan are like the other side that is out of reach of the sand sea.

Looking at the stone ridge in the vast sand sea, Chen Xun was not only feeling emotion. He thought that after leaving Tushan, he was the fertile land of the Western Frontier with flowers in the dying state of Emperor Xiwu. He never thought that it would be even more desolate than Canglan.

"What are you looking at? I asked you grandsons to have a full meal, and you didn't ask you to see the scenery!"

With a fierce shout, the manager who was sitting on the horse's back supervising the slave, waved the whip in his hand at Chen Xun, and a "bang" sounded out of thin air, pulling a trace of spiritual power and stabbed Chen Xun's chest.

Chen Xun's heart felt like he was being slammed by a knife. He curled up like a cooked shrimp and knelt down. He couldn't use any strength. He could only look up and showed a pleading look at the man who scolded him.

"He's all a group of lazy guys. If you don't give me some colors, you don't know how my surname is written!" Zhao Tiangui, the manager of the Wei family, cursed. Seeing the Kushou half-kneeling on the ground in front of him, his eyes were as gentle as a sheep, and he felt indescribable satisfaction.

Although the people from the Thousand Swords Sect were repelled, Chifeng Castle also collapsed a corner in the fierce battle.

If you cannot repair Chifeng Castle before the reinforcements of the Qianjian Sect arrive, it will be difficult to withstand the next strong attack of the Qianjian Sect with its incomplete formation.

There are not many kilograms of stinging with two arms in Chifeng Castle. They have to rely on these stinging slaves to transport the mined iron heart stone to Chifeng Castle hundreds of miles away. Zhao Tiangui waved the whip in his hand, adding two fresh blood marks to the back of the obedient and obedient Kushen in front of him, and he did not use the magic power of the stinging talisman to torture him.

Chen Xun pulled the rope that was deeply tied into his shoulders, turned around and saw the iron core stone behind him as huge as a shack. Together with other bitter slaves, he dragged the huge stone behind him and moved forward step by step.

Almost four days later, more than 800 guru slaves dragged more than 20 huge rocks to Chifeng Castle. Compared to the fact that nearly 100 guru slaves died halfway or on a quarry.

Chen Xun received two wheat cakes, but did not squeeze together with other bitter slaves, but went to the stream to find a stream stone by the stream, sat down, tore the wheat cakes into small pieces, throw them into small pieces, and chew them in his mouth. When he was thirsty, he took a sip of the stream water.

Chifeng Castle behind the maple forest on the west bank of Shixi is smaller than Wumang Stone Village, but they are all made of iron core stones as hard as gold and iron. The sunset is shining with a dark luster. However, in the east of the stone castle, a corner was attacked by a disciple of the Qianjian Sect during the battle half a month ago, and a tooth was lost.

Chen Xun thought that the huge rocks they mined from hundreds of miles away this time should be enough to repair a corner of Chifeng Castle that was crushed. Otherwise, if the supervisory monk would make trouble, it would be difficult for him to continue hiding...

The stone castle is easy to repair, but the incomplete formation is difficult to complete.

In front of powerful magic, even the iron core stone as strong as gold and iron will turn into powder in an instant. Only a powerful and complete formation that attracts the spiritual energy of the earth veins is the greatest reliance to resist powerful enemies.

Chen Xun sat by the stream, swallowed all the wheat cakes into his stomach, and then walked towards Chifeng Castle opposite Shixi.

There are castle monks in Chifeng Castle that cut the huge stones and then use spells to hang them to the gap. Without the need for Kusou, he will lift the huge stones weighing tens of thousands of pounds to a height of more than ten meters above the ground.

This is not because the fortress monks compassionate with the Kusou, but because they are guarding against the Kusou when they see them repairing the stone castle formation.

There are more than 800 hard slaves, although most of them are mortals, but many scattered cultivators in Zhenyang Realm are imprisoned in Chifeng Castle to serve as hard labor.

After Chen Xun and Su Tang and Qianlan separated in the bamboo forest in the south of Canglan, they sneaked from the secret road to a warehouse that traveled to Yunzhou, hiding among a pile of fishy fur goods. After going through hardships and dangers, they passed through Tushan and entered the territory of Yuanwu County of Yunzhou.

Compared with the Kuilong Tiantu that has been thrown out, Chen Xun knows that he is the biggest temptation to divert others' attention.

On the one hand, he would leave some clues that those who are interested could find, be sure that he was indeed escaping with treasure; on the other hand, he would flee from the place of right and wrong before being tracked down, so as to avoid falling into the hands of those who are interested to survive and die.

For more than a year, he has been changing his position and changing his identities in Yuanwu, Shangyuan, Yunzhong County.

It was almost confirmed that the Su family, Xuanhan Sect, Yishan Sect and Qingyangzi, who might have been hiding in the dark, had completely turned his attention from Yuzhu Peak, and Chen Xun began to find a way to truly hide and find a place to practice.

A year ago, when he met a sand thief robbed the village, Chen Xun got involved in the villagers and was deliberately captured by the sand thief, and then he "falls into a bandit" in the depths of the Wuteng desert.

However, just half a year has passed since his career as a bandit. With his extraordinary courage, Chen Xun just became the little leader of a sand thief, and Wei Che, a disciple of Qiyun Mountain, led his people into the depths of the desert with his extraordinary cultivation.

Wei Che killed all the Sha Thief's big bosses, but failed to see through Chen Xun's disguise. He plundered Chen Xun and more than a hundred other Sha Thiefs and escorted them to Chifeng Castle as a slave.

Chifeng Fort is located in an oasis in the northeast corner of the Sand Sea Desert. There are fountains gushing out of the oasis, nourishing the land within two or three miles of radius around it and not being eroded by the Sand Sea Desert.

The oasis is nearly two thousand miles away from Yunzhong County City, and the sect of Qiyun Mountain is even three thousand miles away. However, as the most important production area of ​​scale iron in Yunzhong County City, Qiyun Mountain has built Chifeng Fort here, and transported tens of millions of pounds of scale iron ore to Yunzhong County City for smelting every year.

For a hard slave like Chen Xun who has cultivation, Qiyunshan will not directly abolish their cultivation, but will use a magic called the Heart Talisman to control it.

Whether it is mining or quarrying fortresses, Chen Xun, a casual cultivator who has two arms and one another but does not pose a threat to the fortress monks, is much better than those skinny and mortal slaves.

However, if the slaves who are sent to the slaughter of their hearts resist, only a very small number will die very badly, while the more will not survive or die.

Whether it is the soul searching technique of the Su family or the secret method of soul locking seal refining taught by Lao Kui, they all have something in common with the mind-wild technique. Although Chen Xun could refine the heart-wild talisman cast by Qi Yunshan on him at any time and quietly leave, there was really no better place to hide than Chifeng Castle.

Chifeng Valley is located in the desert of sand seas. Except for the convoy that pulls away ore every month, no outsiders will come here.

In the eyes of Qiyun Mountain disciples and castle monks, he was just plundered by the sand robbery and forced into the gang, and was captured by Qiyun Mountain disciples back as unlucky guys who acted as slaves.

The six monks stationed in Chifeng Castle in Qiyun Mountain have the highest cultivation level and are only at the middle stage of the fetal realm. Since Chen Xun was worried that Xingzang would be discovered, he also believed that he wanted to leave, no one in Chifeng Castle could stop him.

Another fundamental reason why Chen Xun was not in a hurry to escape from Chifeng Castle was that an earthquake occurred near Chifeng Castle five years ago.

After that earthquake, the nearby Shilings were broken and collapsed. At that time, the Qiyunshan Sect was worried that the fountain in Chifeng Castle would dry up. Without water sources, the oasis would shrink and disappear, and it would be impossible to send mortals to mine and quarre.

In fact, the concerns of the Qiyun Mountain Sect were redundant. After the ground fog, the ground springs in Chifeng Castle did not dry up, but also spiritual energy poured in from the depths of the ground with the spring water. The ordinary ground springs turned into extremely rare spiritual springs.

The spiritual energy that scatters between heaven and earth is still thin after all, but most of the spiritual veins and spiritual acupoints in the world are called sect control.

Chen Xun could even use the spiritual energy that scattered from the spiritual spring at night to practice and refine the spiritual veins; at the same time, he also secretly studied the Heart-Suspense Talisman that Qiyunshan disciples put in his body, and confirmed it with the method of refining the soul-locking seal, so that he could have a deeper understanding of the Xuanyan Art and the mechanical puppets.

Just half a year after such a good life, it was broken by the sudden attack on Chifeng Castle by disciples of Qianjian Sect.

The reason why the disciples of Qianjian Sect raided Chifeng Castle was because the incident of Lingquan spread.

After the earthquake, the underground spring did not dry up due to the breakage of the underground rock formation, but instead turned into a very rare spiritual spring, which means that the underground rock formation in Chifeng Castle is likely to have a spiritual vein and at least a giant spiritual cave.

Chifeng Castle was originally located in a vague area of ​​the borders of the two counties of Gushan. In the past, Qiyun Mountain occupied the ore veins rich in scale iron. Qianjian Sect was full of opinions. Nearly 100 disciples of the two sects fought for this.

There may be news that there is a spiritual vein hidden underground in Chifeng Fort, the Qianjian Sect naturally refused to give up, and the two sects were even more tense to the point of breaking out.

In the end, the Qianjian Sect took the lead and suddenly dispatched half a month ago to attack many industries in Yunzhong County. Two powerful men in the late stage of the Restoration Realm led a team.

After discovering the Lingquan, Qiyun Mountain quietly set up a defensive formation in Chifeng Fort with the Lingquan.

The fortress monk used the defensive formation to defend himself for several days. In the end, he was a late-stage disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect, who sacrificed a bronze mirror-like magic weapon to break open a corner of Chifeng Castle.

Fortunately, the disciple of the Thousand Sword Sect was retaliated by the formation and was greatly affected by the crowd, so the Thousand Sword Sect had to retreat temporarily, so Chifeng Castle won the chance to breathe and seek a slowdown.

Chen Xun guessed that the disciples of Qiyunshan should inform the mountain gate of the enemy as quickly as possible, but he didn't know if it was a powerful man from Qiyunshan who was restrained by the Thousand Sword Sect or other forces. In short, half a month passed, and Chen Xun did not see Qiyunshan send a reinforcement here.

He was worried about these fortress monks. Next time, the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect attacked again, how could Chifeng Castle not be destroyed?
