Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Set Off! Beiliang County! (4 more updates)

Beiliang County, situated in the northwest of the Empire, would require approximately ten days of travel at full speed along the official path from the Imperial City.

Even if they managed to reach Beiliang County within ten days, setting aside the safety of Jiang Xiaofan’s family, it was likely that the murderous Demon had already left Beiliang County by then.

Therefore, after some discussion, Goo Tengfeng, as the captain of this Demon Hunting Team, decided to enter the Heavenly Position Mountain Range and head directly northwest. Doing so would provide a shortcut, allowing them to reach Beiliang County within three days!

However, delving into the forest would inevitably mean entering the territories of high-level beasts. Hence, though the shortcut was fast, it came with significant risks.

Jiang Xiaofan was nearly driven mad with urgency; he could not wait ten days, so he chose without hesitation to take the shortcut through the Heavenly Position Mountain Range.

The others could naturally understand the urgency in Jiang Xiaofan’s heart, so they also decided to take the risk and strive to reach Beiliang County as quickly as possible.

Soon, Goo Tengfeng submitted the Demon Slaying Task scroll to the Task Hall. The staff at the Task Hall found the sudden appearance of the ”Demon Slaying Scroll” somewhat odd, but since it bore the Big Seal of the Dean, there was naturally no possibility of forgery.

Ling Feng also took the time to visit Yan Cangtian, informing him that he had taken on a Demon Slaying mission and that he should not look for him in the short term.

As for Lin Xian’er and Yun Yiyi, they naturally prepared thoroughly and, after half an hour, everyone gathered at the entrance of the Heavenly Position Academy.

The Demon Slaying mission was officially underway!

Under the leadership of Goo Tengfeng, the group carefully avoided contact with high-level beasts, to prevent meaningless battles from wasting time.

The first day passed without incident, and they had already left the range of the Heavenly Position Mountain Range and entered into a swampy area shrouded in miasma.

This swamp was known as the God Burying Mysterious Swamp, a place of extreme peril.

There were rumors that every year, almost thirty percent of the cultivators who ventured into this land never returned.

Once trapped in this miasma-filled swamp, even someone of Goo Tengfeng’s caliber might find themselves without a place to rest in death.

Hence, Goo Tengfeng was initially quite hesitant to take this shortcut.

He wasn’t too worried about himself and Ling Feng, but Jiang Xiaofan and the other two appeared somewhat ”cumbersome.”

However, since a decision had already been made, Goo Tengfeng would not go back on his word, and they could only press forward relentlessly!

”Everyone, be careful and follow me closely. One wrong step and you’re in the mud. Not to mention the deadly poison in the swamp, there are also fearsome beasts that inhabit it, so we must not be careless in the slightest,” he said.

Goo Tengfeng took out a sheepskin scroll from his Spirit Storage Ring and carefully spread it out. Pointing at the marked black spots on it, he said in a somber voice, ”These spots are dangerous areas around here, inhabited by fifth-rank and even sixth-level beasts, so we must absolutely not get close.”

”Hmm.” Everyone nodded hurriedly, with Lin Xian’er silently relieved that they had heeded the teacher’s advice and appointed Goo Tengfeng as the team leader.

”Be careful!”

Ling Feng unfolded his Unlimited Vision, vigilant to everything around him. After all, those beasts lurking in the swamp might be extremely adept at concealing their presence. At such times, Divine Sense perception seemed weak and powerless, leaving only Unlimited Vision as utterly reliable.

Just then, the sound of combat came from ahead.

It was a hunting team, comprising three men and one woman, that had encountered the Ghost Eye Alligator dwelling in the swamp.

At that moment, one of the male team members was in jeopardy, and the situation for the other members did not look promising either.
