"Chop me up? Haha... you don't want the Yellow Spring Atlas anymore?" Yang Huan grinned, his face full of teasing.
"Even if I kill you, the atlas will still be mine!" Sun Jian stretched out his right hand from his wide sleeve, and a flash of lightning jumped between his five fingers.
"It's no use talking big. If you have the guts to charge at Qianji Sect, you'll see if they will give you the Yellow Spring Atlas." Yang Huan sneered, "Without the Gourd Sword Box as a stepping stone, you can't even get on the Qianji Sect's Cloud Bat Flying Boat!"
Sun Jian's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Yang Huan chuckled, walked out of the shadow of the corner, and came to the door of the hall.
He looked at the desolate Eagle Sorrow Cliff and said in amazement: "You, the Jilong Dao, are really cruel. In order to set up the ban, you actually destroyed a spiritual spring of the earth vein."
"Don't tell me you are the Dongling barbarians. If you hadn't gone along with it, how could Wei Donglai have conquered Yingchou Mountain?"
"Besides, it's no big secret that you exchanged the Five Qi Gathering Forbidden Technique from the Qianji Sect."
"Six mountains are too many and would hinder the setting of the ban, so we destroy one? These are sacred mountains that can breed vitality. Tsk tsk, what a waste of natural resources."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Sun Jian walked to Yang Huan and said calmly.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just help to bury a few restrictions and destroy a few sacred mountains." Yang Huan grinned.
"Why, Chongshan Road is gone, Baita is dead, and you still want to avenge him?" Sun Jian said sarcastically, "I really can't tell that you are still a man who values friendship and loyalty."
Yang Huan didn't care: "Loyalty? That thing is not as valuable as the Taoist secrets."
Sun Jian fell silent.
Yes, in the face of the Tao, how much can friendship be worth? Sects and families are not something that cannot be abandoned.
"I want to see the Yellow Spring Atlas first." Sun Jian said calmly, looking into the distance.
Yang Huan suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth.
……
For a long while, there was silence in the ruined hall.
Sun Jian stood alone at the door, looking at the barren mountains in the distance with a gloomy face.
"Who is behind Yang Huan? The remnants of Chongshan Dao? Or the other Daoist sects in Yunzhou?"
"Damn it! If the magic gourd and sword box hadn't been lost, how could Yang Huan, a stray dog, have captured me... Hmm? The magic gourd was lost, could it be Yang Huan's doing?!"
His eyes suddenly became sharp.
"No wonder we can't find any clues, Yang Huan!"
It took a while for Sun Jian to slowly calm down.
"Since Yang Huan dares to show up, there's no need to think about getting the gourd sword box back."
"Taoji Secret Technique..."
Sun Jian looked down at the bright yellow scroll in his right hand in a daze, but he soon came to his senses and became determined.
"Compared to the Dao, the Chicken Coop Road is nothing."

Chapter 416 Tracking
One hundred and thirty miles north of Gan River.
A flash of emerald green light flashed across the blue sky as fast as lightning.
Mo Wuzhou was surrounded by mist, like a thin white cloud, locking onto the whereabouts of the emerald green messenger bird from afar.
Another quarter of an hour later, the messenger bird flew into a dense forest. When it reappeared, the small bamboo tube tied to its feet had disappeared.
Above the clouds, Mo Wuzhou frowned, "Ganhe Lower House has just been built, which Taoist sect is so well-informed?"
"Or are they just casting a wide net to catch as many fish as possible, simply conducting a large-scale surveillance operation?"
"I want to see who this person is."
For half a month, he hid in the clouds and wandered around the dense forest. But no matter how long he waited, no one showed up.
"Be careful!" Mo Wuzhou's face couldn't help but become solemn.
……
"That guy is too cautious!" On the bow of the black-sailed boat on the Gan River, Tan Tai Zong gritted his teeth and sighed.
"He followed the messenger bird to the place, but he just hid in the sky and watched."
Lin Su chuckled: "I told you a long time ago, the bait is too small, this person will not show up on his own initiative."
Tan Tai Zong looked embarrassed: "Do you really want to lure him here? Then young master, you..."
Lin Su tapped the table with her fingers: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb."
"How could he show up without someone like me who looks like a key figure?"
"Go and make arrangements. Let the information pass through several hands and be delivered to me as secretly and truthfully as possible."
Tan Tai Zong clasped his fists solemnly: "Yes!"
……
That afternoon, in an unknown grove.
A golden monkey broke in, took out fifteen small bamboo tubes from the bird's nest and stuffed them into his mouth. He left a flaming red pill behind, then stretched out his arms and disappeared quickly like a swing in the woods.
"Relying on inconspicuous strange beasts to transmit information one after another?" Mo Wuzhou exclaimed in his heart.
He became more and more curious about the identities of these people.
He immediately followed the golden-haired monkey and returned to the monkey group.
Half a month passed quickly, and Mo Wuzhou watched the bamboo tube rolling among the beast groups in the Dongling Mountains.
Finally, when he followed a giant millstone turtle to a section of the Gan River, he saw a small boat with a black sail.
A middle-aged man wearing half-body leather black armor appeared at the stern. He took a bamboo tube from the turtle's mouth, fed the turtle a golden pill, and then placed the bamboo tube in front of the gray-clothed man sitting at the bow.
Seeing the other party unfolding, looking at and burning them one by one, Mo Wuzhou knew that he had found the right person.
But he still did not show up, but followed the wupeng boat again.
For five consecutive days, he discovered that the other party continued to receive small bamboo tubes through various animals. Mo Wuzhou was finally sure that even if this person was not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must be a senior executive who knew the details.
"How dare two mortals target those who practice cultivation and practice Qigong?!" After observing them for many days, he had already discovered that these two people had no magical powers at all and were not cultivators at all.
As he was thinking this, Mo Wuzhou descended from the sky and suddenly appeared at the bow of the ship.
When Lin Su saw who was coming, he was stunned.
Tan Tai Zong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mr. Chen, you are very cautious. You have been following me for more than a month, and now you are finally willing to show up?!"
Mo Wuzhou, who had just stood firm on his feet, was stunned.
Your last name is Chen?
Chen Mu?!
These people are not investigating the dock in the mountain, but are trying to lure and capture Chen Mu?
So, I am a fucking loser?!
"Stop laughing!" Lin Su kicked the complacent Tan Tai Zong, causing him to stagger, and said helplessly, "He is Mo Wuzhou!"
Tan Tai Zong couldn't help but widen his eyes.
and so……
I've been busy for a month and ended up recruiting the wrong person?
Isn't this all in vain?!
Lin Su looked at Mo Wuzhou with a gloomy face and shook her head with a bitter smile: "I don't know whether he wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife or just let you throw a stone to test the water."
"But one thing is certain, we all underestimated the scheming and cunningness of that young brother Chen."
Mo Wuzhou: “…”
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Chen Mu's worried face a month ago.
"You are really good at acting!"
Inside the Jade Seed, Tu, who had witnessed everything, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You humans are so insidious! Haha..."
……
A sneeze!
On the corridor of the wooden house.
Someone with deep scheming, sinister and vicious thoughts twitched all over and suddenly woke up from his sleep with a sneeze.
He stood up from the rocking chair and rubbed his nose in confusion.
"Yuanbao, are you scolding me?"
The big toad squatted quietly on the ground, without blinking, and paid no attention to someone's crazy behavior.
Chen Mu stretched, leaned against the pillar, and reached out to poke the toad's chin.
"It must be you who scolded me!"
The big toad had a helpless look on his face, a burst of magic power surged out, and his body slowly became transparent.
Chen Mu's eyebrows suddenly raised.
Want to run?
He pointed sharply at the ground.
boom!
There was a dull thud on the ground, and the big toad showed up again. Its eyes were dazed, and it was obvious that it had been hit hard by the blow just now.
Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh.
"You have the ability to escape underground, and I have the ability to turn the ground into steel!"
"You want to use your underground escape technique to come and go as you please in my yard? No way! Haha..."
