Chapter 2252: Windrange Town
Although Clone Stage and Soul Fusion Stage cultivators could occupy the surroundings of Gale Canyon, it was rare for such cultivators to go in recent years. This was especially true for Rogue Cultivators.
Soul Fusion Cultivators in Gale Canyon might not be killed by the beasts or the gale winds, but they would certainly die by the hands of other cultivators. There were cultivators who specifically went to Gale Canyon to hunt and rob other cultivators. Unless they are from a sect or have life-saving methods, it was very hard for a Rogue Cultivator to survive in the canyon.
Sects have their own trial grounds and wouldn’t take risks to go to Gale Canyon. Because of this, there were very few low-level cultivators in the canyon.
It was also for this reason that Liu Zhen and the others were stunned upon hearing that Zhao Hai was planning to go to Gale Canyon. They knew how risky that place was. If Zhao Hai went there, the gang might not be able to handle the consequences.
Liu Zhen quickly said, “I’m afraid that isn’t a good idea. You can’t go to Gale Canyon, it’s too dangerous. All Soul Fusion cultivators that went there didn’t return. I can’t allow you to go.”
Yu Linfeng anxiously nodded, “Little Ling, find another place. Even Earth Monarchs would hesitate going to Gale Canyon. It’s too dangerous.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then said, “There’s no need to convince me. I have to go to Gale Canyon. I want to immerse myself in life and death situations. If I want to pass the Forbidden Path Sect’s trials, I need to go beyond my current skills. If I can’t survive life and death trials, I’m afraid I won’t be able to join the Forbidden Path Sect. It would be good for me to go to Gale Canyon. As long as I can return alive from that place, I should be able to join the Forbidden Path Sect.”
Liu Zhen and Yu Linfeng no longer tried to convince Zhao Hai. They knew that Zhao Hai was planning to bet all he had in this gamble. If they still insisted on stopping Zhao Hai, they might affect his future cultivation. However, they were still worried about Zhao Hai. After all, Gale Canyon isn’t like any other place.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, “My trip to Gale Canyon will take at most three months. I will certainly come back by the time the Forbidden Path Sect opens its gates. If I fail to come back, then that means I’m dead. The Blood Knife Gang could make plans then. Alright, I’m going now.”
Liu Zhen didn’t expect Zhao Hai to leave immediately, he hurriedly said, “You’re going now? Aren’t you going to prepare?” Zhao Hai shook his head. Then he cupped his fist towards everyone before leaving. Liu Zhen and the others can only follow Zhao Hai outside.
When he exited his courtyard, Zhao Hai saw Ma Long and Liu Cai standing outside. He nodded at the two of them and said, “Senior Brothers, I’m heading to Gale Canyon for three months. I already made arrangements in the gang. You two should help Brother Liu in these three months.”
Ma Long and Liu Cai immediately understood Zhao Hai’s message. Zhao Hai said that he already made arrangements in the gang, but in their minds they changed the word ‘gang’ to ‘sect’. Zhao Hai was telling them that he had already arranged for things in the sect so that the two of them didn’t need to worry.
Ma Long and Liu Cai weren’t expecting to join Zhao Hai in going to Gale Canyon. They have already stayed in Demonheart City for some time, so they were aware of Gale Canyon. They knew very well that they didn’t have the ability to survive in the canyon, so they didn’t insist on joining Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai also knew what the two were thinking. Therefore, he didn’t make them follow. After saying his words, Zhao Hai waved his hand and took out two spatial bags and handed them over to the two. Then he said, “These are my insights on some spells. Take it. If you have time, send them back to the family.”
Ma Long and Liu Cai nodded. Naturally, this was another coded message. Inside the spatial bags should be jade slips. Moreover, inside should be a small transmission formation of the Battle Corpse Sect. Zhao Hai handed the mission of delivering message to the two of them.
Ma Long just nodded and received the spatial bags. Then he said, “Junior Brother, be careful out there. The clan sent us out to increase our strength. Nothing can happen to you.”
Ma Long and Liu Cai knew that if Zhao Hai suffered an accident, Wei Tiande wouldn’t let them off easily.
Ma Long and Liu Cai also knew well that it was impossible for a cultivator to hole themselves all the time. It was clear that Zhao Hai was set on going to a dangerous trial. So, they didn’t stop him from going.
Zhao Hai nodded towards the two and then left. Before long, he left the Blood Knife Gang’s headquarters. When he exited the headquarters, Zhao Hai was stunned to see two wind-chasing horses.
Liu Zhen looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Ling, the gang isn’t doing very well, so we don’t have anything to give you. Take these wind-chasing horses. At the very least, they can make your travel easier.”
Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Liu Zhen and said, “Zhao Ling thanks Senior Brother Liu. Everyone, goodbye.” Then he jumped on the horse and tapped it on the belly. Before long, Zhao Hai was out of Demonheart City.
Zhao Hai was truly heading to Gale Canyon this time. He hadn’t gone out and fought people for some time. He was a cultivator, if he didn’t fight and accumulate experience, then his progress would be hindered in the future. It was because of this that Zhao Hai wanted to go to Gale Canyon for a trial.
Naturally, he knew about the ominous reputation of the canyon. However, Zhao Hai wasn’t worried. He was now as strong as a Teleportation Stage expert. And with the addition of the Space, his Undead army can ensure his safety. As long as he doesn’t go too deep, maintaining his life wouldn’t be difficult. ṘÄNO͍ꞖÈ𝒮
Zhao Hai has never been to Gale Canyon before, but there were quite a few people from the Forbidden Path Sect who went. Zhao Hai was able to find a map in Demonheart City that marked some forbidden areas in the canyon.
The map that Zhao Hai bought only included around a 50 thousand li range outside the canyon. So, the map only had the forbidden areas in this region. Some forbidden areas were naturally formed while some had beasts that even Earth Monarchs didn’t dare to offend. Fortunately, these beasts stayed in their territories. This allowed weaker cultivators to stay outside the canyon for trials.
After sending the map to the Space, Zhao Hai rushed towards Gale Canyon. He almost didn’t make any stops along the way. With two wind-chasing horses to alternate with, it didn’t take long before Zhao Hai arrived at the closest town to Gale Canyon called Windrange Town. The town was built behind a hill and housed around 300 thousand people. It was quite lively since it was the only stop for cultivators heading towards Gale Canyon. Cultivators also took things they obtained in the canyon to Windrange Town to sell. This caused merchants of all types to flock to the city to buy their wares.
Although Windrange Town wasn’t big, it was fully equipped with amenities. There was even a branch hall of the Forbidden Path Sect in the town. The branch hall was present to maintain order. This was because the town brought a lot of profits to the sect each year.
Don’t underestimate Windrange Town due to its size. Because it’s very near to Gale Canyon, items found in the canyon would almost always end up in the town. And some of these things were good enough for the Forbidden Path Sect. The sect itself had several big shops in the town specifically targeting these valuable materials.
The Forbidden Path Sect might be a demonic sect, but it still had to do business properly. They knew clearly that extreme suppression of trade would lead to cultivators not wanting to interact with their shops. Therefore, the sect had to do proper business with rogue cultivators. In turn, the sect’s businesses were booming, creating a huge sum of money for the sect.
Zhao Hai has no understanding of Windrange Town. The only thing he knew was that it was a stopover for cultivators before entering Gale Canyon. He plans to rest in the town before going to the canyon to see what good things he could get.
Zhao Hai rode his wind-chasing horse to enter the town. Upon entering the small town, Zhao Hai was stunned. He didn’t expect the town to be so prosperous. It had many shops on both sides of the street. Most importantly, the streets were full of people. What surprised Zhao Hai more was that the weakest cultivator walking around was at the Soul Fusion Stage. He could hardly see Clone Stage cultivators. Also, Soul Fusion wasn’t the majority of people, the streets were filled with Earth Monarchs.
A city of several hundred thousand people was occupied by cultivators not lower than the Clone Stage. This thought felt frightening to Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai was strong himself, he couldn’t help but be surprised seeing so many people in such density.
Now Zhao Hai understood why the Forbidden Path Sect didn’t take Gale Canyon for themselves. This was because there were just too many cultivators going to it. Clans were the most common groups in the town. Although Clans couldn’t compete against sects, when all the clans work together, even a sect would feel threatened. Even the tyrannical Forbidden Path Sect would dare admit that they could take on all these cultivators.
