Chapter 54 Desperate Situation
Soon, Chai Xin noticed something strange.

It was clearly late at night, but many monks appeared in the wilderness. If it weren't for his sharp sense, he would have been discovered long ago.

“The ancient family has such a deep foundation. The Northern Territory is not the Ji family’s base camp at all, but they have so many people!”

Chai Xin hid from place to place and was completely unable to move forward along the original route.

Although the North Region was desolate, due to the presence of a large number of source minerals, almost all the major forces in the East Wilderness had branches here. So it was no coincidence that he encountered the people of the Ji family in the ancient city. As long as he entered the city, no matter which one, he would eventually run into them, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

However, although the Ji family is powerful, they are not so powerful.

Not only did they mobilize troops from nearby strongholds, they also issued "Collecting Firewood Orders" in major cities, offering a reward of 100 kilograms of resources for clues. If they could bring him to justice, there would be a reward of 1,000 kilograms of resources!
This is a huge reward that is enough to tempt any cultivator below the Four Extreme Secret Realms. That is why so many people are participating in the search.

At night, Chai Xin was still able to use the cover of darkness and his keen sense to avoid being searched, but during the day, the difficulty increased greatly.

Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, he encountered a group of searchers, wiped out the enemy, and ran away again. However, soon that evening, another group of people caught up with him and seemed to have locked onto his direction of travel.

This situation of repeatedly annihilating the enemy and then being caught up again continued until dawn the next day.

"Damn it, isn't this cheating?"

Even though Chai Xin had a special bloodline and his physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, he still couldn't help feeling tired after fighting and fleeing for more than ten times.

"If this continues, we'll definitely be finished. What should I do... Hey, where am I now?"

He had been running around to avoid the pursuers and had lost track of where he was. When he looked up, he suddenly saw a solitary mountain on the horizon, several thousand meters high.

Mountains thousands of meters high are not uncommon in the Eastern Wasteland, but the surrounding area is all plains, so the mountain looks extremely abrupt. The most important thing is... the mountain is purple-brown!

"Zishan?!"

Chai Xin suddenly woke up, took out the map for comparison, and felt his body damp and covered in cold sweat.

"Luckily it's daybreak, otherwise if I hadn't been careful I would have lost my life without even realizing it!"

He was neither a holy body nor a source heavenly master, and he did not have invincible combat power. If he entered Purple Mountain, he would almost certainly die, so he retreated instinctively.

But just as he retreated more than ten miles, suddenly a powerful aura came from afar and came close in the blink of an eye.

An old man with gray hair and wearing a green robe walked slowly towards them. He had a solemn aura and was as still as a mountain. His strength was definitely not that of an ordinary member of the Ji family, or those bounty hunters who came for the reward.

"Young man, don't run away anymore. Come back to the Ji family with me. I won't hurt you. Instead, I will treat you as a guest of honor."

The old man in green robe had a calm expression and stood not far in front of Chai Xin. He seemed to be absolutely confident that he would not let the latter escape.

Chai Xin cursed inwardly, these big forces are really like a hornet's nest and sticky candy, if you provoke one, not only will another nest come, but you can't get rid of them no matter how hard you try!
As for being taken back and treated as a guest of honor, he didn't dare to believe a single word of it - didn't you see, in the original novel, when Ye Fan escorted Ji Ziyue home, not only did no one thank him, but they also sent people to hunt him down and tried to get rid of him many times!

"Old Senior, it's not that I don't want to go with you, I just have something important to do and I don't have time to care about anything else."

He felt that the old man in front of him was extraordinary, so he did not act rashly. Instead, he chose to play along and delay as long as possible.

The old man in green robe smiled when he heard this, and said calmly: "Don't play tricks. With such an absolute gap in strength, those are nothing but clouds. Finally, I will say this to you calmly. Follow me."

"Old senior, how can you force someone to come to your house as a guest?" Chai Xin looked grim, feeling that the situation was not going well.

"Young man, are you testing my patience? You must know that you once killed a member of my Ji family in the ancient forbidden land. Now that I can persuade you with gentle words, I am repaying evil with kindness!"

The old man in green robe's tone turned cold, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

Chai Xin was furious when he heard this and said angrily: "Did I beg you to arrest me and take me to the ancient forbidden land? You are indeed a family. You are so shameless and blaming others like this, it seems like you were cut from the same mold!"

"How dare you talk too much, youngster! You really don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. It seems that you won't obey orders unless I beat you into submission!"

The green-robed old man's face turned pale. With his status and cultivation, how could anyone dare to curse like that? He immediately raised his right palm, creating an endless palm shadow, and slapped Chai Xin. Since Chai Xin had cursed loudly, he was ready to fight back. His movements were a fraction faster than his. A crystal copper furnace appeared in his palm, and it expanded to a hundred meters high in an instant, and came upside down with the furnace mouth facing downwards.

"Bang!"

There was a sudden earthquake. The old man in green robe had never thought that such a thing would happen and was caught off guard and was buried in it.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

As expected of an elder of the Ji family, even though he was covered by the Lihuo Divine Furnace and burned by endless divine flames, he did not die. Instead, he kept bombarding the furnace wall.

Chai Xin had no time to be happy, because he felt several equally powerful auras approaching him rapidly.

"Fuck, let's fight!"

He had no other choice but to put away the Lihuo Divine Furnace and hold it in his right palm, then turn around and rush towards Zishan again, hoping to use his fierce reputation to scare off the Ji family's pursuers.

"Dang! Dang!"

Along the way, the Lihuo God Furnace kept making banging noises, and even had small bulges a few times, but they quickly recovered and were not broken.

"This Purple Mountain really has demonic power..."

The closer Chai Xin got to Purple Mountain, the more dizzy he felt, as if there was some magical force drawing him deeper and deeper. Even though his spirit was far stronger than those of the cultivators of the same level, it was of no avail.

"No, we can't move forward!"

He bit his tongue to wake himself up briefly and quickly retreated.

"Boy, Purple Mountain is an extremely dangerous place. Even if a great and powerful person enters it, there is no way to escape. Don't seek death!"

"Quickly release Brother Yunsong. Come back with us and we will spare your life!"

The three old men of the Ji family stopped a few miles away. It was obvious that they were well aware of Zishan's vicious reputation and were extremely afraid of him.

"Bullshit! Can you believe what your ancient family says?"

Chai Xin had no choice but to curse at the three old men from the Ji family.

The three elders of the Ji family were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood. How could the Ji family, which was once so powerful in the East Wilderness, be so despicable in the mouth of this kid?

But they didn't dare to go any deeper and could only use intimidation and inducement on the spot.

Chai Xin seemed arrogant, but in fact he was also very anxious and at a loss. At this moment, a thin voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Are you... a descendant of the Jiang family?"

　Brothers are awesome. We are already the 29th, only nine places away. That means we will update three times a day!
　　However, the higher the ranking, the harder it is to move up, so we all need to work hard together!
