Chapter 575 Meeting Again
The exact number of scales needed to form a complete landscape map is currently unknown.

The Xia family dispatched many people to the Extreme Profound Great Yuan Heaven, but because the teleportation location was not here, those who were nearby could arrive in a short time, while those who were farther away did not know when they would be able to arrive.

Xia Huang and his group led the Xia family disciples to hunt down mysterious spirits in the icy river, obtaining many landscape maps.

However, there were some mysterious spirits that even they, along with many members of the Xia family, could not defeat, such as the headless giant, the nine-headed serpent, and the white-headed, blue-bodied ape. They were unable to defeat them and could only retreat.

According to information from the family, the headless giant is named Fangfeng Giant, the nine-headed serpent is named Xiangliu, and the white-headed, blue-bodied ape is named Wuzhiqi. They are all Mystic God-level spirits, and their levels have all reached 60, making them very difficult to defeat.

The Xia family deduced that the Water-Avoiding Sword should be on Xiang Liu or Wu Zhiqi.

However, lacking the ability to kill them, they could only wait for the Xia family's army to gather, and then use the army's strength to surround and kill these terrifying beings at the Mysterious God level.

When Chen Guan rushed back to Bingcheng, the Xia family had already gathered tens of thousands of cave-heaven cultivators, and even more Xia family cave-heaven cultivators were gathering here from all directions.

The once empty and desolate ice city has now become unusually lively.

However, since most of them are subordinates of the Xia family, ordinary cultivators do not have as good a life here as before.

Although the cultivators of the Xia family's army did nothing to them, once such an army was stationed there, it would inevitably reduce the interests of a few to some extent.

Chen Guan had anticipated this situation, so he wasn't surprised.

The Xia family was definitely determined to obtain the Three Treasures of Great Xia, so it was expected that they would send an army over.

This wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Chen Guan, but it was certainly somewhat inconvenient.

He himself was fine; with makeup on, no one would recognize him. He didn't care that he had snatched the treasure that the Xia family was determined to have.

However, if Ma Xiaolong were to go with him to remove the mountain-opening axe, and the Xia family were to discover this, Ma Xiaolong would likely face significant trouble in the future.

"Hmm, I need to think of a way to settle Ma Xiaolong's affairs." Chen Guan thought to himself. He definitely had to take the things, but he couldn't let Ma Xiaolong work for nothing and get into trouble.

"Master, brother." Ma Xiaolong was standing at the city gate waiting for business when he saw Chen Guan and immediately came to greet him.

"How's business?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"It's alright. Because the Ice Sculpture Grand Canyon has melted, a lot of people have come to Ice City. Most of them are from the Xia family, and some are from the Chu family. There are also people from other families, but not many." Ma Xiaolong briefly explained the situation here.

“Brother, they’re all going to the glacier to hunt down spirits now. There must be something good there. If only I had your strength, I could get a piece of the pie too.”

Chen Guan smiled and said, "If you want a share of the pie, that's easy. I can take you there, and we can work together to get some benefits."

"I was just saying that, brother, please don't laugh at me. I don't have that kind of ability. To hunt secret spirits in the glacier, one must at least be a sixth-sense cultivator, and they all have teams. At my level, and alone, I would only be a burden." Ma Xiaolong was quite self-aware.

“That’s not necessarily true. I remember your talent is that of a descendant of the dragon, and you can resonate with the secret spirits in the ice cliff. It might be of great use. You haven’t told anyone about this, have you?” Chen Guan said.

“Many people in Harbin knew about this before, but I haven’t told these newcomers about it,” Ma Xiaolong said.

“That’s terrible trouble. I estimate that the Xia family or the Chu family will come looking for you soon.” Chen Guan said thoughtfully, “Following them is not a bad choice, but I also want to get a share of the profits in the glacier. If you are willing, we can cooperate.”

“Big brother, if you need my help, that’s all that matters. Just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it. I’ll listen to you.” Ma Xiaolong immediately patted his chest and said. Chen Guandian nodded: “Okay, let’s go check out the situation at the glacier first.”

The two left Ice City and headed towards the Ice River. During the time Chen Guan was away, there were indeed many more people on the Ice River side.

Along the way, the roars of the mysterious spirits could be heard from afar, presumably because someone was fighting the mysterious spirits deep in the glacier.

This glacial river stretches for over 30,000 miles, and countless terrifying spirits are frozen within it. Even if tens of thousands of troops were to go and kill them, it's unknown how long it would take to wipe them all out.

Chen Guan had no interest in killing the Mysterious Spirits one by one; his only target was the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

If we could find out the whereabouts of the Water-Avoiding Sword, that would be best. But if not, a Mountain-Splitting Axe will suffice.

When the two arrived at the headless giant, they found an army there, led by Xia Huang, Xia Hua, and Xia Guagua.

"They've come here again. It seems the axe is still here and they haven't taken it." Chen Guan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He was afraid that all the preparations he had made, the money he had spent, and the skills he had acquired, would be for nothing, only to find that the axe had already been taken away.

Chen Guan and his group saw the Xia family members, and the Xia family members also saw them.

After someone saw them, they ran over to Xia Huang and his companion, looking at Chen Guan and the other two, as if they were saying something.

"Oh no, that guy's name is Liu Zhenshan, he's the city lord of Bingcheng. He knows about me, we have to get out of here." Ma Xiaolong's expression changed slightly, he guessed what was going on.

"It's too late to leave now," Chen Guan said, shaking his head.

Sure enough, Xia Huang and the others, led by Liu Zhenshan, walked over here.

"Xiaolong, come here, I have something good for you." Liu Zhenshan waved to Ma Xiaolong from afar.

"Lord of the City, just say what you need." Ma Xiaolong didn't go over. Even if he didn't, he could roughly guess why Liu Zhenshan wanted to see him.

"Just come over when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense?" Liu Zhenshan was very annoyed that Ma Xiaolong had embarrassed him in front of the Xia family.

"Brother Ma, I've heard that your talent is that of a descendant of the dragon, capable of resonating with the secret spirit sealed within the ice cliff?" Xia Huang asked, sizing up Ma Xiaolong.

“I was just bragging before; it wasn’t true at all,” Ma Xiaolong said.

Xia Hua said, "Brother Ma, you're overthinking it. Our Xia family has always been fair in our dealings. If you can provide us with assistance, we will pay you a reward that will satisfy you."

If Xia Hua had said that before, Ma Xiaolong might have been tempted, but now, he would definitely stand on Chen Guan's side.

“Miss Xia Hua, I’m so sorry, I really don’t have the ability to help you. I was just boasting before so that others would think highly of me,” Ma Xiaolong said.

"Ma Xiaolong, this is your chance to turn your life around. If the Xia family takes a liking to you, your future achievements will be limitless. Don't be ungrateful," Liu Zhenshan sneered.

"He'll have a bright future if he follows me from now on, so you don't need to worry about him," Chen Guan said calmly, stopping Ma Xiaolong from saying anything.
