Chapter 576 A Soldier

All eyes then fell on Chen Guan. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he looked older than he was, like an ordinary person who had never cultivated, around thirty or forty years old.

Such an image can only be described as ordinary, unremarkable, and merely that of a middle-aged man whose appearance is passable.

However, his words, coupled with Ma Xiaolong's obedient behavior, made everyone realize that Ma Xiaolong was actually following this person.

Xia Huang and the others couldn't help but look at Liu Zhenshan, as if to ask who this middle-aged man was.

Liu Zhenshan didn't know either; he had never met this person before.

He originally wanted to question Chen Guan, but then he thought that someone who dared to be so tough in front of the Xia family must have a powerful background, and he probably couldn't afford to offend him.

"How shall I address you?" Liu Zhenshan asked politely, truly not daring to offend anyone.

“A lowly soldier in the Ziyang Corps. You wouldn’t know his name, so I won’t say it,” Chen Guan said calmly.

Liu Zhenshan frowned slightly upon hearing this. He had never heard of the Ziyang Corps before, and it was just a lowly soldier. It didn't seem like someone with any background.

But when he looked at the Xia family members, he noticed that their expressions had become somewhat strange.

Ordinary people may not know the origins of the Ziyang Legion, but how could the members of the Ten Great Families not know?

Zi Donglai led the Ziyang Legion to achieve incredible victories in Tianyang City, capturing the city, killing Mo Qianpo, and defeating the Nine Demons City. He also caused the Nine Demons' leader, Mo Qingtian, to flee in disarray. The various miracles of killing the Ninth Demon, Mo Hongxue, had already spread throughout the Ten Great Families.

Although not many people have actually seen Zi Donglai and the Ziyang Legion, these names are well-known to the core members of the ten major families.

So when they heard that Chen Guan was a member of the Ziyang Corps, their expressions changed.

Seeing the changes in Xia Huang and the others' expressions, Liu Zhenshan was relieved that he hadn't spoken nonsense: "It seems that this Ziyang Legion is quite a force to be reckoned with. We should keep it in mind in the future, lest we get into trouble later."

Xia Huang clasped his hands slightly and said, "We have long admired the reputation of the Ziyang Legion. It is my greatest wish to meet the brothers of the Ziyang Legion here today. I wonder if Commander Zi is here?"

Seeing Xia Huang in such a state, Liu Zhenshan was even more surprised.

The fact that the person in charge of the Xia family here holds the Ziyang Legion in such high regard suggests that the Ziyang Legion is even more terrifying than he imagined.

"I'm on vacation and here is my personal matter, it has nothing to do with the Ziyang Corps or Commander Zi," Chen Guan said.

Xia Huang was slightly disappointed. What he said just now came from the heart. He had indeed admired Zi Donglai, who had created many miraculous achievements, for a long time and really wanted to meet him.

He was assigned to the Great Yuan Heaven by his family and was not allowed to leave without orders, nor did he have the opportunity to go to Tianyang City to see Zi Donglai.

“We have no ill intentions toward Ma Xiaolong, this brother from the Ziyang Legion. We just want to ask him for help, and we will definitely reward him handsomely,” Xia Huang added.

“We’re also here to hunt down the Mystic Spirits, so I’m afraid we can’t be of much help to you,” Chen Guan said.

"You want to kill the headless giant?" Xia Hua asked, blinking.

“Not bad,” Chen Guan nodded in reply.

Before Xia Huang could say anything, Xia Hua interrupted with a smile, saying, "We're here to hunt down the headless giants too, but since the brothers of the Ziyang Legion are interested, you can go first."

Ma Xiaolong was greatly shocked upon hearing this. He didn't know the origin of the Ziyang Legion, but his elder brother was just a soldier in the Ziyang Legion. Moreover, with the name of a soldier, he had even made the Xia family, one of the ten great families, back down. This was truly astonishing.

"Just how powerful is this Ziyang Legion that it possesses such formidable power?"

Little did he know that Xia Huang and the others respected the Ziyang Legion not because they feared them, but simply because the Ziyang Legion had done what they had wanted to do but hadn't been able to. Xia Hua's concession wasn't out of admiration for the Ziyang Legion either.

Liu Zhenshan was greatly shocked as he watched Chen Guan and Ma Xiaolong head towards the glacier. He would never forget the name "Ziyang Corps".

"Sister Hua, why did you let them go first? What if they pull out the axe?" Xia Guagua asked in a low voice, puzzled.

"You're so stupid. Do you really think those two could be a match for the Windbreaker Giant?" Xia Hua said, pouting.

“But didn’t Lord Liu say that Ma Xiaolong has the ability to resonate with the Ice River Spirit? What if that Dragon Descendant talent really can trigger the Mountain-Splitting Axe to resonate and pull it out? Wouldn’t that be terrible?” Xia Guagua said.

"Why do you only listen to half of what I say? Lord Liu said that Ma Xiaolong only has five senses, and his resonance ability only works once. After that, it will stop working and he can no longer resonate. It's not necessarily true that he can have any connection with the Mountain-Splitting Axe."

"Besides, isn't it a good thing that he was able to pull out the axe?"

"How is it a good thing?" Xia Guagua asked, puzzled.

"Think about it, the Windproof Giant is currently suppressed by the Mountain-Splitting Axe, so it can't use much of its strength. If they really pull out the Mountain-Splitting Axe, the Windproof Giant's divine power will be unleashed, and those two people will be no match for it. At that time, we can reap the benefits, not only by rescuing them and getting back the Mountain-Splitting Axe, but also by gaining their favor."

With a smile, Xia Hua continued, "It's hard to say how strong that Ziyang Legion member is, but as for Ma Xiaolong, he can't even get close to the Wind-Proof Giant. Even if he has the ability to pull out the axe, he probably won't have the chance to do so. Let's just watch from here. If his talent really comes in handy, it won't be too late for us to cooperate with him."

“That makes sense.” Xia Guagua thought about it and felt that what Xia Hua said made a lot of sense.

Even when the three of them joined forces, they could only manage a draw against the Windproof Giant God, who had not yet broken the seal. If the Windproof Giant God were to break the seal, the three of them would probably not be a match for him, let alone the other two.

A practitioner of the five senses is of little use when facing the secret deity of the six senses; in fact, they may even become a burden.

A person like that probably wouldn't even have the chance to encounter a mountain-splitting axe.

Xia Huang also thought it made sense, and it wouldn't be too late to see what happened first, since they didn't have the ability to pull out the axe right now anyway.

"Brother, are you really a soldier of the Ziyang Legion?" Ma Xiaolong followed Chen Guan toward the icy river, lowering his voice as he asked curiously.

"Not bad," Chen Guan nodded.

"Then the Ziyang Legion must be very strong, right?" Ma Xiaolong asked again.

"It's alright, just an ordinary military unit," Chen Guan said casually.

"Can I join the Ziyang Legion like you?" Ma Xiaolong thought to himself, "If even a lowly soldier in the Ziyang Legion is so prestigious, how can it be considered an ordinary legion?"

"Of course, but the Ziyang Legion is on the front line of the battle against the demons, so it will be very dangerous." Chen Guan was thinking about how to settle Ma Xiaolong if he really pulled out the mountain-splitting axe.

It would be wonderful if he were willing to join the Ziyang Legion.

"It would be even better if they could fight demons." Ma Xiaolong was overjoyed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that the Ziyang Legion was actually a legion that fought against demons. No wonder the Xia family respected them so much.

"Alright, I'll recommend you to the Ziyang Legion later." As Chen Guan spoke, they had already arrived at the edge of the icy river.

"That's great! From now on, I can fight alongside you, Big Brother." Ma Xiaolong was overjoyed.

Boom!

The glacier erupted with huge waves, and a terrifying giant figure rose from the glacier, walking step by step towards the riverbank. The shock caused the surrounding glaciers to crack and the snow to fall, its power was extremely terrifying.
