When he completely walked out of the range of Shang Clan City, Liu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood in the wilderness outside the city, feeling the Aura of freedom, and his mood was exceptionally relaxed.
After a brief stop, Liu Chen decided to summon his Rank Five Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider. This Earth Wolf Spider was his capable partner, possessing powerful strength and speed.
Liu Chen, following the map displayed by the Bookworm, commanded the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider to sprint at extreme speed. With his promotion, he was now able to fully activate the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider for movement, allowing it to unleash its true power.
The Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider burrowed underground, darting like a flash of lightning. Its speed was astonishing; in a single breath, it had already crossed a distance of a Thousand Li!
This was the power displayed by a fully activated Five-Rank Gu worm.
"It seems this is the place," Liu Chen stood on the back of the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider, his gaze fixed on the peculiar mountain peak not far away. The overall shape of this mountain peak resembled a giant pitchfork, divided into three peaks, and thus it was also known as Three Fork Mountain.
This mountain peak's geographical location was special, situated precisely between the two Mountain Villages of Che Family and Zuo Family. However, despite its important location, neither side had been able to completely occupy the main peak of Three Fork Mountain. The two Mountain Villages, Che Family and Zuo Family, each occupied one of the peaks, forming a delicate standoff.
Both Mountain Villages coveted Three Fork Mountain, because whoever could occupy this mountain could use it to expand their own strength. However, due to the equal strength of both sides, the conflict had lasted for a full hundred years, and during this period, deep blood feuds had been formed.
However, Liu Chen came here not for these two Mountain Villages. His true goal was the Three Kings Inheritance hidden in this mountain, as well as the ancient Strength Path Rank 6 Gu Immortal Legacy. More importantly, there was also the legendary Immortal Gu, Drunken God's Wander!
If he could find a treasure chest here, the value contained within would undoubtedly be immeasurable. Whether it was the true Legacy of the Three Kings or the true Legacy of the Strength Path Gu Immortal, both held an irresistible attraction for Liu Chen.
"Sir, may I ask why you have come to our Zuo Family's territory? If you have something important, I need to first ask our Clan Chief for instructions; otherwise, even if I had ten thousand guts, I would absolutely not dare to let you take another step forward!"
As soon as Liu Chen arrived at the foot of Three Fork Mountain, he was stopped by a team of Gu Masters. There were seven Gu Masters in this team, led by a young, strong Gu Master whose cultivation was only Second Rank. However, despite his inner fear, which made his hands and feet tremble uncontrollably, he still stood firm, not retreating a single step, blocking Liu Chen's path stubbornly.
The reason that young Gu Master was so afraid was entirely due to the Five-Rank Gu worm beside Liu Chen - the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider. Just the Aura emanating from this Gu worm had already made this team of Gu Masters completely lose any thought of resistance. If it weren't for their deep-seated devotion to Family honor, they would probably have fainted from fright long ago.
Liu Chen looked at the young Gu Master in front of him with interest, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a faint smile, and said, "Hehe, interesting. The place I'm going is not somewhere you people can stop. Even if your Zuo Family's Clan Chief came in person, he might not be able to stop me. Do you still want to stand in my way?"
With that, Liu Chen sat leisurely on the back of the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider, waiting for his answer.
"Sir's strength is unfathomable, and we are naturally no match, but our Zuo Family has been able to stand for a hundred years, and not all of us are afraid of death. I hope you can forgive us!" The young Gu Master's face was filled with terror, his body trembling slightly, but he still refused to retreat a single step.
Liu Chen looked at the young Gu Master in front of him, who, despite being terrified to the extreme, still bravely spoke for his Family, and couldn't help but feel a bit more admiration for him.
"Hmm, you do have some guts," Liu Chen's mouth curved slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll wait here for your Clan Chief to arrive."
With that, Liu Chen waved his arm, and the originally imposing Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider instantly vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
Upon seeing this, the young Gu Master's fear immediately dissipated by more than half, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Chen smiled slightly and took out a First Rank Sword Embryo Gu from his embrace. This Gu worm was transparent, like crystal, emitting a faint cold light, clearly not an ordinary item.
He handed the Sword Embryo Gu to the young Gu Master and said softly, "This is my unique Gu worm, the Sword Embryo Gu. I'm giving it to you."
The young Gu Master's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at the Sword Embryo Gu in Liu Chen's hand. He never dreamed that this terrifyingly powerful Sir would actually give such a precious Gu worm to him.
Liu Chen seemed to read his thoughts, smiled slightly, and continued, "Don't be surprised. Although this Gu is good, it also needs to be carefully nurtured to unleash its maximum power."
After speaking, Liu Chen then used a sound transmission Gu to tell the young Gu Master the detailed method for raising the Sword Embryo Gu.
Upon hearing this, the young Gu Master awoke as if from a dream and immediately knelt to express his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your appreciation, Sir. I, Zuo Rechan, will definitely cherish this Gu worm and will not let down your kindness!"
He never expected that today he would not only survive but also receive such a miraculous Gu worm. How could he not be overjoyed?
"May I ask why this young hero has graced us with his presence? Our Zuo Family has failed to properly welcome you, and we ask for your forgiveness! I, Zuo Tiankong, offer my respects here." Zuo Family Clan Chief Zuo Tiankong, with a smile on his face and a pair of lightning wings on his back, flew swiftly like lightning to Liu Chen, cupped his hands in greeting, and politely asked, "May I ask your name, young friend?"
At this moment, although Zuo Tiankong's hair was already gray, the Aura emanating from him was exceptionally powerful, clearly indicating he was a Four-Turn high-level expert.
Liu Chen, seeing this, also quickly returned the greeting and replied with a smile, "I am merely a Loose Cultivator, without sect or Family. Clan Chief Zuo can just call me Liu Chen. I came here simply to take a look at Three Fork Mountain, to make this trip worthwhile. I didn't expect to alarm your esteemed Gu Masters, which I truly feel a bit bad about."
Liu Chen's words were neither humble nor arrogant; he stated his identity, explained his purpose for coming, and apologized for the inconvenience caused to the Zuo Family.
After hearing this, a hint of apprehension flashed in Zuo Tiankong's eyes, and then he enthusiastically invited, "Since you have traveled so far, young friend, why not be a guest at my Zuo Family? It would allow me to fulfill my duties as host. Our Family is quite familiar with Three Fork Mountain, and I can personally guide you on a tour, serving as your guide."]}
