Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 214 The Madman Who Forced His Way into the Mountain Gate

Hearing Yang Lie's words, Chen Feng fell silent, and even the wine in his mouth tasted bland.

At this moment, he could truly understand why Tang Bingwen was so happy to see his three disciples inherit the Dan Shi technique.

This sense of having a successor is not only a sense of accomplishment, but also a fulfillment of the expectations of the sect's founders throughout the ages. It means that this generation has completed its responsibilities and is worthy of anyone in the sect.

Only now does he realize how important it is for the sect to have successors.

But thinking of the new generation of disciples, Chen Feng felt more confident and offered words of comfort.

"Yes, there's no need to worry about that. The new generation of disciples in the Tang Clan are all quite good, especially Tao Tao. Her talent and temperament are both excellent. With this girl's abilities, inheriting the Dan Shi should be no problem. Ma Long and Yuan are also good options."

"Besides, I haven't been idle all these years. I've developed some methods to improve the success rate of Dan Shi. With the combination of these two approaches, it shouldn't be a problem to produce someone who can successfully inherit Dan Shi."

The Tang Clan's Pill Refining Technique differs from other sects' techniques. It uses the user as a furnace and employs a unique operating route, making it resemble the process of refining elixirs.

The process of refining the elixir involves using the upper dantian as a guide, the middle dantian as the primary source, and the lower dantian as a secondary source, ultimately fusing the three together to refine the poison.

This process is much more difficult than the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

The process of alchemy requires the removal of impurities, and understanding life and death is a key element in this process.

People with a firm will and simple mind are more likely to succeed in refining pills, while their own aptitude and the amount of impurities determine the quantity and distance of pills that can be refined.

After such a selection process, there is no doubt that the simple-minded Tao Tao is the best successor.

However, the Tang Sect's inheritance of Dan Shi emphasizes a voluntary principle, since it involves gambling with one's life. If one fails, death is a minor matter; the extreme pain is the most difficult thing to overcome.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Feng seemed to have made up his mind. Looking at the night sky, he slowly said, "Yang Lie, things abroad are now settled, so unless something unexpected happens, I will stay in the sect."

"In that case, let's bring Tao Tao over and ask for this young lady's opinion. If it's possible, I will personally train her for a period of time. After a few years, she might be able to master the Dan Shi technique."

The inheritance of Dan Shi has nothing to do with talent or strength; the key to everything lies in a person's heart.

Only those with a detached perspective on everything have the confidence to successfully refine it.

The difficulty of consuming the elixir far exceeds imagination.

Over the decades, not a single person in the vast Tang Clan has been able to successfully inherit the mantle.

Perhaps due to the times, people no longer need to fight desperately, and there is much less infighting among them.

It's already difficult to find someone who can take life and death lightly.

Yang Lie had made up his mind and nodded: "Alright, since you put it that way, then let's give this girl a chance. If she's willing, then it's fine."

He wasn't in a hurry before, but he didn't expect that decades later, even with the method provided by Chen Feng to increase the probability of success...

However, many people still died while cultivating the Inheritance Pill in both inner and outer sects, and none of them succeeded.

Of course, the Tang Clan's ultimate technique, Dan Shi, is not something that can be inherited at will.

Strict controls are in place to prevent leaks.

The first condition is to obtain the sect leader's permission, and only then will the individual's opinion be asked. If they are willing, they can then begin the Dan Shi cultivation work.

In addition, Yang Lie seemed to have thought of something else and added, "By the way, don't let down the inner disciples. I will also find a talented disciple from the inner sect. Please put in some effort and mentor him as well."

As the sect leader, he should be most concerned about the various impacts of his every move.

Chen Feng is now undoubtedly the strongest person in the Tang Sect.

If only one outer disciple is accepted for training, it is inevitable that some inner disciples with the surname Tang will feel dissatisfied.

Although the chances of this happening are very small, Yang Lie still wants to avoid it as much as possible.

Chen Feng understood Yang Lie's meaning and, without refusing, nodded in agreement.

"Okay, once you've decided on the candidates, just send them over to me."

This kind of thing, which is easy to do, doesn't take much effort.

Just as the two were talking, a voice came from behind.

"Heh, you two brothers are drinking without inviting me, Young Master Yang, that's a bit unfair of you."

An elderly man with a weathered face and a full head of white hair, yet full of energy, walked over carrying several jars of wine.

He was none other than Xu Xin, a disciple of the Tang Clan and the inheritor of the ultimate technique, Dan Shi.

He was also one of the thirty-six bandits in the Jia Shen Rebellion, ranking thirty-third.

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xu Xin behind him, a hint of surprise on his face, and pointed.

"Oh, Young Master Yang, you're so generous to let this guy out of the Tang Tomb. Also, Xu Xin, you're something else, surviving for so long without dying. It must be tough for you."

These few are now the most senior members of the Tang Clan.

Faced with such words, Xu Xin showed no politeness, sat cross-legged beside the two, and snorted coldly.

"Hey Chen Feng, you're still as sharp-tongued as you were when you were young. You're still alive, so why would I be?"

"You finally came back, and Young Master Yang took pity on me and let me come out to visit you. What, aren't you grateful?"

All three of them, along with Dong Chang, were Tang Bingwen's personal disciples. They had been practicing together since childhood and had a very good relationship with each other.

To be precise, the relationships among disciples of the same generation in the Tang Clan are generally quite good.

Glancing at Xu Xin beside him, Chen Feng stroked his chin, seemingly thinking of a question, and asked curiously.

"By the way, Xu Xin, let me ask you something. Back then, when you thirty-six of you swore brotherhood, the list was leaked. Do you know who leaked the list? I'm quite curious about this."

After carefully studying Under One Person, Chen Feng discovered that this world was not simple. The various magical techniques, the mysterious Yang God, the founding immortals of various Taoist sects, the shamans in the Northeast, and the magical Eight Extraordinary Techniques all demonstrated the uniqueness of this world.

Even those weapon refiners could create storage magic treasures. Ma Xianhong's small ball could hold an entire living person, and Quanxing Handan's backpack could even hold dozens of people.

This method is far superior to the storage rings in cultivation novels.

It can be said that although the various spells are less expressive and less powerful than the various worlds Chen Feng has experienced, their essence is very high. If you study them carefully, you will definitely gain a lot.

Secondly, in this world, immortals truly exist, and even the legendary Overlord and Marquis Wu have been mentioned.

Chen Feng is indeed very strong, but the true strength of an immortal is still unknown.

Therefore, Chen Feng also took to heart the things that were not mentioned in the comics.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin was stunned, and the hand holding the wine jar froze.

But then he didn't hide anything. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I can't say for sure. Although this is the most regrettable thing I've ever done in my life, there's nothing I can't say about it now."

"The person who leaked the list didn't intend to kill everyone completely; they just wanted to achieve some goal. But in the end, it had an unexpected effect and completely spiraled out of control."

They sworn brothers, but within days a traitor emerged, causing everyone to be displaced and die without a complete corpse. It's truly ironic. After saying this, Xu Xin's face showed an indescribable expression, and he spoke with a slight sense of melancholy.

"Over the years in the Tang Tomb, I have thought a lot. Indeed, I regret it and sincerely repent. If I hadn't participated in the sworn brotherhood, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened. Then my master wouldn't have been in such a difficult position, and Dong Chang might not have died."

"Now I understand. My life now belongs to the Tang Clan. It's worth it to stay in the Tang Tomb and dedicate my life to it."

Xu Xin, who swore brotherhood with the Tang Clan, is dead. Now, only Xu Xin from the Tang Clan remains.

Indeed, the bond of sworn brotherhood is strong, but it can never compare to the camaraderie among the Tang Clan disciples.

The Tang Clan may appear to be a ruthless assassin sect, but they place great importance on friendship.

To save the two, Tang Bingwen gave them two choices: either inherit the Dan Shi, in which case they could survive, but upon encountering the other members of the Thirty-Six Thieves, they would have to kill them at all costs.

Either choose to give up and just die.

Back then, Xu Xin chose to inherit Dan Shi, while Dong Chang chose to give it up.

Tang Bingwen ordered Xu Xin to eliminate Dong Chang, one of the thirty-six thieves.

In the end, Xu Xin gave up, unable to bring himself to do it, and was willing to die.

That was actually the final test. If he really killed Dong Chang to save his own life, then without a doubt, Xu Xin would not survive either.

The three sat on the mountain peak, none of them speaking, quietly savoring the fine wine in the jar.

But this rare peace was shattered.

Seemingly sensing something, Chen Feng suddenly raised his head, stood up, and looked down towards where the martial arts school was located.

Under his powerful senses, he saw a powerful aura rapidly approaching the Tang Clan.

This aura is very strong; although it's not as strong as mine, it surpasses that of ordinary superhumans.

Even Yang Lie behind him was no match for the other party.

As the head of the Tang Clan, Yang Lie possessed a wide range of abilities and could definitely be considered a grandmaster.

There are very few people who can surpass him in terms of aura.

In an instant, my thoughts were racing.

Chen Feng instantly made a guess: according to the plot, there was only one person with the ability and courage to forcefully break into the Tang Clan...

Seeing Chen Feng's actions, Yang Lie and Xu Xin, who were standing to the side, were suddenly stunned and quite puzzled.

Xu Xin glanced carefully in the direction the other person was looking, but found nothing, and chuckled softly.

"Chen Feng, what are you trying to do by making such a fuss? There's nothing here."

Having been trapped in the Tang Tomb for decades, he had completely neglected all his other skills, except for the Dan Shi technique.

Without the Dan Shi, Xu Xin's strength is not as good as it was when he was young.

In contrast, Yang Lie, who was standing beside him, was the leader of the Tang Clan. His skills were comparable to those of Tang Bingwen before him, and he immediately noticed the unease in the distance.

Several birds flew around in a panic. Although it seemed normal, it meant that someone was approaching and was quite powerful.

Sure enough, the martial arts school in the distance suddenly panicked the next moment. All the lights were turned on, and several figures rushed out of the martial arts school rooms and rushed towards one place.

"Let's go, the security setup has been alerted, and thieves have broken in."

"How dare you! Who is this scoundrel who dares to force his way into the Tang Clan? Are you courting death?!"

"Don't hold back, attack together and take down that thief!!"

Those who remained at the martial arts school were all top-notch outer sect masters, and their skills in various martial arts techniques were quite excellent.

Several people moved swiftly, using the Tang Clan's unique technique, the "Fleeting Steps," transforming into afterimages as they rapidly approached the chaotic area.

The sound also attracted the attention of the three people on the mountain peak. Looking down from there, they could see the entire situation of the martial arts school below.

At that moment, Xu Xin took a light breath, and the wine jar in his hand no longer tasted good. A look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"Oh, interesting, very interesting. It's not like some idiot is so foolish as to dare to force his way through the mountain gate. He's really courting death."

Indeed, aside from the group of Bihe Ninja from back then, this was the first time outsiders had forcibly broken into the mountain gate.

Everyone knows that the Tang Clan has many skilled fighters who are proficient in killing techniques, and they even possess the legendary Dan Shi, a technique that is said to kill anyone who is hit by it.

In this situation, daring to force your way into the Tang Sect is nothing short of courting death!

Even Yang Lie, the sect leader, found it somewhat strange and chuckled softly.

"He really has some nerve, barging into the Tang Clan without cause. No matter who he is or what his reason is, if we don't kill him, he'll really think the Tang Clan has no one left."

As he spoke, he stood up.

Just then, a man dressed in white darted out from the forest behind them and stopped behind the three of them. He was an inner disciple of the Tang Clan.

"Sect Leader, someone has forced their way through the mountain gate. The disciples from the outer sect have already surrounded them, and we should have a result soon."

Yang Lie nodded and gave the order: "Go and inform the experts in the inner sect to assemble immediately and head down the mountain."

"Anyone who dares to force their way into the Tang Clan must either be a fool or have made some preparations. I'm afraid the disciples down the mountain won't be able to stop them."

He wasn't worried about any of this.

After all, Chen Feng, the strongest person in the history of the Tang Clan, was right behind him, and his skills far surpassed his own.

Moreover, both of them possess the Dan Shi skill, so even if a Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain came to challenge the mountain, he would still have to give the Tang Clan an explanation.

Chen Feng turned around and glanced at the martial arts school below, his eyes calm.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Zhang Huaiyi, but I don't know how much he has grown by now.

Now, with the level nine All-Seeing Eye and the level nine Strong Physique, he is capable of dealing with any enemy.

No matter how things develop, the situation will always remain under our control.

It's absolutely impossible to achieve what happened in the comic book storyline of the previous life. Let alone Zhang Huaiyi, even if his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei came here and wanted to attack Yang Lie, Chen Feng would do everything in his power to take him down.

The bond of camaraderie forged over decades is something that cannot be compared to ordinary things.

Just as something was happening on the mountain, the two groups from the martial arts school below had already begun making contact.

A figure flashed past, leaping from the wall and landing on the ground, blocking the way for the people who were trying to force their way into the mountain gate. It was Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang stared at the face of the mountain climber ahead, his pupils constricting sharply. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Huaiyi!!"
