Chapter 253 Heading North
After leaving his temporary residence, Chu Tai headed north according to the results he had calculated over the past few dozen days.

Speaking of which, the structure of Central Shenzhou is very interesting. Apart from the Central Plains, the four directions are the East, the South, the West and the North.

Although the Central Plains and the four regions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest all have various terrains due to the vast land, they all have their own characteristics.

Among them, the East is mostly home to immortal sects, including Qi, Jin, Chu, Lu, Song, Wei, Yan, Chen, Cao, Cai, Zheng, Wu, Yue, Qi, Han, Wei and hundreds of other countries.

There are many mountains in southern Xinjiang with beautiful scenery and all things growing there. It is said that after the ancient sage king cut off the inhuman path, the ancient witches hid there and many ancient witchcrafts remained there.

In ancient times, the Western Regions were mostly inhabited by foreign gods. With the decline of Shintoism, it is now mostly inhabited by Buddhist and demonic monks, whose magic is extremely strange and unpredictable.

The Northern Wilderness is the area in Central China that retains the most ancient features. According to the records of the Jinhua Sect, it is the last piece of land conquered by the ancient Holy Kings, and it is also one of the areas where the Holy King's Way has been most severely remnant and alienated.

Therefore, as Chu Tai headed north, he gradually saw some creatures that only appeared in ancient books.

The people living here are also more powerful, and many even have special bloodlines passed down from ancient times.

Many of the towns that Chu Tai passed through, as well as several areas divided by the Thousand Light Layers, had places similar to pastures and hunting grounds.

One day, he passed by a hunting ground with lush vegetation and suddenly felt a clear and spiritual breath rising. Looking carefully, he saw a white deer fleeing in panic in the grass.

Dozens of young men in bright clothes and on fast horses were chasing behind. Among them was a young man in black tights and light armor, with a bow and arrow drawn, the bow was like a full moon.

The moment Chu Tai looked at him, a sharp arrow flew out, followed by a "buzz" sound.

The running white deer instantly turned into water vapor in mid-air, but the sharp arrow was strange and contained a layer of evil spirit on its surface. After piercing the water vapor, it immediately forced it out of its original form and nailed it to the ground with its huge force.

When the knights surrounding him saw this, they cheered and called the young general a great archer. The knight frowned, then turned his head to look up at the air and bowed to Chu Tai.

"You are polite, Taoist priest!"

Chu Tai returned the greeting, then looked at the wailing white deer beside him and said with a smile: "It is my fault that the general's prey escaped."

The young man just shook his head and said, "If I could have a righteous heart, I would not have been influenced by the Taoist priest, or even if I was influenced, I would not have let the white deer escape. In the end, it was my own shortcomings, my eyesight and shooting skills were lacking, so it's not the Taoist priest's fault."

Chu Tai was quite surprised by the young man's words. He saw that the young man was not very old. Judging from his blood and energy, he was probably about twenty-four or twenty-five at most. However, his martial arts skills were not weak, and his status was not low either. He was very successful at a young age and was the most arrogant. He was so humble, as if he had suffered some setbacks in the past.

The knights nearby only then discovered that the white deer that had been nailed to the ground was just an illusion. Only then did they realize how powerful Chu Tai was, and they all asked Chu Tai to come down for a chat.

Chu Taiyu shook his head and politely declined their request, saying that he was just passing by and was attracted by the pure and holy aura of the white deer, so he stopped to observe it and had no intention of staying here for long.

Hearing this, several older knights surrounding the young general suddenly showed some anger. They were subordinates sent by the elders of the young man's family to protect his safety, and they respected their own young man the most.

Now seeing Chu Tai being so disrespectful, he couldn't help but scold him.

"You are so rude, Taoist priest. My young master doesn't mind you letting the prey go..."

"Uncle Yan!"

The knight was interrupted by the young man before he finished speaking. He bowed to Chu Tai again to express his apology and asked Chu Tai the purpose of his trip. "I see that the Taoist priest is not in a hurry and does not seem to be on the road. He must be looking for something. I am also quite familiar with this place. Maybe I know where the Taoist priest wants to go or what he wants to find."

Hearing this, Chu Tai looked at the young man again and immediately saw the problem. This guy's bloodline was not that of an ordinary person, but some kind of ancient bloodline with its own characteristics. Its ability should be to maintain the purity of its mind and make it easier for people to like it.

'This kind of bloodline can make a general, but it is not the best choice.'

Chu Tai was puzzled and was thinking about how to respond when he suddenly felt the change in the atmosphere around him. He looked at the young man and asked, "Who did you offend?"

The young man didn't react for a moment and didn't answer Chu Tai's question immediately.

This attitude itself is also an answer. Chu Tai immediately guessed that he might have accidentally fallen into someone's trap.

Chu Tai had occasionally experienced similar situations in the previous towns, and he knew that the best way to deal with this situation was to leave immediately.

However, the young man's attitude made Chu Tai choose to bow to him before leaving and said, "Since you haven't offended anyone, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, without giving the other party a chance to react, he left with Yun Guang. His behavior itself was a way of informing.

The young man reacted immediately and asked people to set up defenses.

On the other side, Chu Tai, who had not walked far, immediately felt a trail of smoke following him.

He stopped and looked at the woman who walked out of the smoke. He sighed and said, "I've already left. Why are you chasing me?"

"If you really intended to leave, you wouldn't have warned the other person before you left."

"It's as if if I leave without saying anything, the other party won't notice anything is wrong."

Chu Tai looked at the woman and sneered, "Besides, your plan will definitely be able to overcome the power protecting him? If it was possible, why did you separate a little of your spiritual power and follow me with magic instead of coming here in person? In the final analysis, you came here to scare me?"

The woman's body trembled with laughter, and wisps of mist spread out. She stared at Chu Tai and said, "I'm just a little curious and want to see where you come from. If possible, I hope we can have a chance to meet again in the future."

"But I don't want to meet you again at all."

Chu Tai took a step forward, stretched out his hand and clenched it, and the stream of light gathered together, binding the mist in the woman's surprised eyes. At the same time, he pulled out a little spiritual light from his body and stuffed it into it.

"I'll return what you left behind, and then I'll give you a small gift."

As he spoke, Chu Tai pulled the mist and turned it into a spell, crushing it.

In an instant, hundreds of miles away, a middle-aged man with a pretty face like a woman let out a scream, his eyes were red and bleeding continuously. The people who were walking with him were immediately frightened and began to blame him.

But when they were halfway through their words, the alert young man immediately realized something was wrong, bent his bow and shot an arrow, forcing them out one by one.

Then there was a big battle.
