Chapter 170: Chapter 155: Anomaly and Sealed Land

Translator: 549690339

At the junction of Fuhai Province and Linjiang Province.

Urgent water flow surged, and the sound of splashing echoed continuously in the valley.

On both sides of the river, towering, continuous mountain peaks surrounded it.

Further out, there were dense primordial woods.

In the past,

Camping enthusiasts and donkey friends often came here to appreciate and experience the beauty of nature.

But one week ago,

due to the appearance of anomalies, personnel from the Martial Arts

Association and the official started searching for the entrance of the Sealed Land around it.

All entrances within several kilometers have been strictly controlled by the Wu’an Bureau, refusing entry to all irrelevant personnel.

During this time, some tourists did not heed the warnings and rushed in.

Those with good luck were discovered by the Martial Arts Association and were sent out of the external world.

Those with bad luck… would encounter others who also came to find the Sealed Land but did not belong to the Wu’an Bureau or the Martial Arts Association, and disappeared.

“Sir, the precise location detected so far is at the bottom of the lake five kilometers ahead.”

In the woods.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A squad of about seven or eight people was shuttling through the trees at a fast pace.

The leader was Zhao Zhenfeng, who had just arrived from Haizhou City.

The Sealed Land was extraordinary.

In addition to the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association in Kyoto, which needed to send personnel to explore, the local Martial Arts Association and Wu’an Bureau also needed to dispatch more personnel for assistance.

As for the dangers inside the Sealed Land, the martial artists from Kyoto could be responsible for dealing with them.

Troubles from the outside world would be handled by the local martial artists and personnel from the Wu’an Bureau.

“The specific location is still unclear…”

A young man of the same age as Zhao Zhenfeng, with a plain appearance, followed closely behind, reporting the situation of exploring the Sealed Land in recent days.

His name was Wang He, a martial artist from the Linjiang Province Martial Arts Association.

This time, he was responsible for assisting Zhao Zhenfeng to complete the investigation and repair work of the Sealed Land.

“So, the exact entrance hasn’t been found yet?”

After Wang He finished reporting, Zhao Zhenfeng, who was in front of him, spoke up.

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Usually, for the exploration of the Sealed Land, only three days are needed.

But this time,

it took seven days for the investigation, and now they were telling him that the specific entrance had not been found.

“Sorry.”

Facing Zhao Zhenfeng’s question, Wang He could only lower his head and apologize.

“However, the specific range has been narrowed down to within ten meters, but due to the special terrain, our abilities are insufficient to…”

“Alright.”

Wang He’s words were interrupted by Zhao Zhenfeng directly.

Whoosh!

Zhao Zhenfeng’s speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, he left Wang He and everyone else behind.

Wang He’s gaze followed Zhao Zhenfeng’s shrinking figure, gradually disappearing.

“Hey.”

“This young master from Kyoto is really different.”

“Of course, he thinks he is not in the same class as us, so he is too lazy to talk to us country folks.”

“Isn’t it just having a good master, more resources, and cultivation techniques? If we also had…”

“Alright, alright, they were born with a golden spoon, how can we compare with them? The more we say, the sadder we get.”

Wang He’s comrades from Linjiang Province watched Zhao Zhenfeng’s departure and spoke sarcastically.

Among them, there were people of all age groups.

Some were the same age as Sect Master Xiang Li of the Power Sect.

There were also those who were younger than Zhao Zhenfeng.

But without exception, they were all the cream of the crop in the Linjiang Province martial arts world.

Their hearts held some disapproval of Zhao Zhenfeng’s performance.

“Stop talking.”

Wang He turned his head and scolded everyone. “It’s genuinely our fault that we haven’t been able to find the exact entrance.” “He didn’t scold us, which is already quite good.”

Under his scolding, the group behind him immediately shut their mouths, saying no more.

Wang He was the number one young martial artist of Linjiang Province.

He was also the champion of the Martial Arts Conference in Linjiang Province this year.

Therefore, with him leading this expedition, everyone was willing to follow him wholeheartedly.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang He continued to look ahead.

However , in a perspective that the others couldn’t see,

Wang He looked in the direction Zhao Zhenfeng had gone, his face showing some dissatisfaction as well.

As the number one young martial artist of Linjiang Province, he had his own pride.

Today was his first encounter with a martial artist from Kyoto of the same age, and the opponent was a prestigious direct disciple of the Power Sect.

Wang He wanted to communicate with Zhao Zhenfeng and learn what made martial artists from Kyoto so strong.

Unfortunately, although Zhao Zhenfeng seemed polite on the surface.

However, the tone of the conversation was cold, as if they didn’t want to talk much to them.

Now they had gone even further and left them behind.

It was impossible for Wang He not to be affected by this.

That being said, he couldn’t let it disrupt the Martial Arts Association’s plan. “We must complete the tasks assigned to us by the Association.” “At the very least, don’t let the people from Kyoto look down on us.”

As soon as Wang He said this,

the martial artists behind him were all invigorated, and they shouted together in agreement.

“Let’s hurry up.”

“We can’t keep the others waiting for too long.”

“Alright”

As the words fell,

Wang He’s speed also increased a lot.

It was not in any way weaker than Zhao Zhenfeng’s speed before.

Seeing this, the men behind him could only grit their teeth, speed up, and strive not to be left behind. Boom boom boomSoon, they were already approaching their destination.

The light above their heads gradually dimmed.

The thunderous rumble from the horizon was heard faintly.

Wang He looked up and his expression became extremely serious.

At the end of his line of sight,

thick and oppressive dark clouds dispersed the sunlight and covered the entire sky.

In the dark clouds, numerous thick thunder-snakes leaped and seemed to weigh heavily on one’s heart just by looking at them.

Drip-drop.

Drip-drop.

Raindrops fell from the sky, constantly splashing on the ground.

Crash—

As Wang He and his party continued to advance, the sound of the rain grew louder.

The rain connected together, gradually obscuring the view.

If an ordinary person were in this place, even their basic visual abilities would be lost.

Only when the white light appeared in the distance could they barely see the surroundings.

Eventually, when Wang He and the others arrived at their destination,

what came into their view was a huge lake surrounded by mountains on all sides.

What greeted them was a thick thunderbolt that fell from the sky.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the thunderbolt leaped out from the clouds and struck the surface of the lake.

The entire heaven and earth seemed to have been split in two.

The thunderous sound exploded, making Wang He feel as if his eardrums were trembling.

He looked at the thunder-snakes tumbling in the dark clouds above, and a trace of shock flashed through his eyes.

The power of heaven and earth was terrifying like this. However, this was not Wang He’s first time being here.

Several days ago, he had led a reconnaissance team all the way to this place.

At that time, the abnormality in the heaven and earth was not as terrifying as it was now.

There was only light rain and dark clouds pressing down.

But in these short few days, the situation had gradually changed into what it was now.

This meant that the energy within the Sealed Land was leaking out wildly.

And it was precisely because of this that the investigation progress of Linjiang Martial Arts Association and Wu’an Bureau was so slow.

Soon,

Wang He looked away and surveyed the area.

Through the heavy curtain of rain, he could vaguely see that there were people moving around the lake.

These were Wu’an Bureau members guarding the perimeter and keeping unauthorized people from approaching.

These defense personnel were in groups of five.

Each of them was a Qi-sensor, equipped with the most advanced modern technology, capable of stopping most martial artists.

At this moment, when Wang He and his party approached, five red dots landed on them.

“Linjiang Martial Arts Association, Wang He!”

Wang He raised his hands and shouted loudly.

After checking his identity, the defense personnel let him through.

Entering the encirclement, Wang He immediately searched for Zhao Zhenfeng’s whereabouts.

Soon, he saw Zhao Zhenfeng’s figure outside a small tent not far away.

The tent was very small, so small that it would feel cramped if it held two people.

At this moment, Zhao Zhenfeng, a direct disciple of the Martial Arts

Association committee member,

was kneeling and sitting in front of the tent, seemingly not caring about his clothes getting soaked.

His face was respectful, as if he was talking to someone inside the tent..
