"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Lü. I am doing well. I heard that the Lü family has already established a firm foothold in Annam Prefecture. I admire them greatly!"

Chen Qingmo cupped his hands slightly and praised him generously.

It was no secret that the Lü family had sent people to deploy their clan in Annan Prefecture. Their desire to develop an additional clan and acquire more resources from the sect was understandable.

Several families with two or more Foundation Establishment cultivators have chosen the same approach.

However, this could lead to the members of the clan who leave no longer being of one mind with their original family, or even splitting into two families.

Chen Qingmo genuinely admired Lü's determination.

At least the Chen family wouldn't do that now. The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is at most two hundred years, which is not enough to suppress everyone.

"Our clan's resources are insufficient to support everyone's cultivation; we are not as good as the Chen clan." Lu Zhen shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with envy as he looked at Chen Qingmo.

The Chen family possesses a second-tier superior spiritual vein, unique among all the families under the Yuanjian Sect. Moreover, the Chen family's spiritual stone reserves are far greater than those of other families. This is the benefit of having a young and powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lü clan besides Lü Zhen were one in the late stage and one in the early stage. The one in the late stage was over 150 years old, and it was he who went to Annan Prefecture.

In the early stages, the people still need the support of their families and cannot give back much.

Lü Zhen himself is already in his twilight years, and it is unknown when he will pass away.

The Lü family boldly took this risky move; if successful, both sides would remain on equal footing, ensuring the family's continued prosperity.

Even though they lost, it wasn't a big problem in Lü Zhen's eyes, since their ancestors were still one family.

As long as they don't become enemies, the bloodline of the Lü family will continue to be passed down.

"Now that everyone has arrived, I have nothing more to say. The journey to Huangzhong Gorge is extremely dangerous; this trip is to explore the various monsters and regions within a four-thousand-mile radius."

"I'll handle the third-tier monsters. I generally won't interfere with second-tier and lower monsters. Whether you survive depends entirely on your abilities."

Zhou Tinglong said in a deep voice, his tone very serious.

These words shocked everyone. The message from the sect clearly stated that they were going to explore for treasure, but Zhou Tinglong said that their lives depended entirely on themselves.

"Elder Zhou, that's not what the sect told us. Are you mistaken?" He Da of the He family shouted with displeasure.

Zhou Tinglong did not answer, but just stared coldly, an aura of pressure emanating from him.

He Da's expression changed, and the stone slab beneath his feet suddenly cracked. He quickly cupped his hands in apology: "Elder Zhou, I must have misremembered!"

After saying that, Zhou Tinglong withdrew his oppressive aura and summoned a flying boat.

After everyone boarded, the flying boat transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the Yuanjian Sect.

On the way, Zhou Tinglong looked ahead and transmitted his voice to Chen Qingmo, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, none of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in your families have broken through to the Golden Core realm. Many elders in the sect are getting anxious."

"Our trip to Huangzhong Gorge is also intended to put you in a difficult position. The sect wants to use a life-or-death crisis to force out a Golden Core cultivator. You'd better be careful."

Upon hearing Zhou Tinglong's words, Chen Qingmo's eyes narrowed slightly, utterly shocked.

The sect's intentions were actually this, which was not a good thing for them.

However, he wasn't particularly worried because he had Sang Que with him.

"Thank you for informing me, Elder Zhou!"

"There's no need for this formality; you can still call me fellow Daoist."

Zhou Tinglong chuckled.

The flying boat traveled for several hours and arrived near Huangzhong Gorge.

Many independent cultivators who were exploring this place retreated involuntarily when they saw more than ten cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

When they saw Zhou Tinglong, a Golden Core cultivator, their expressions were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The news that Zhou Tinglong had subdued the unruly rogue cultivators of Annan Prefecture had already spread far and wide. They had all seen Zhou Tinglong's portrait and were terrified of this Golden Core cultivator.

"To those of you heading to Huangzhong Gorge, the Yuanjian Sect will not interfere in your affairs. You are free to explore within a thousand miles."

"You must not set foot in the territory of the Golden Sand Elephant and some areas behind it, even if it is a thousand miles away. Once the sect's affairs are completed, I will no longer be in charge of it."

After Zhou Tinglong finished speaking, everyone nodded.

Even if they don't allow them in, there's nothing they can do. Right now, it's just restricting some areas, which is harmless.

"Elder Zhou!"

A shout drew everyone's attention.

"Chu Jing, join the team."

Zhou Tinglong nodded slightly and said in a low voice.

When Chen Qingmo saw him arrive, he looked puzzled. He secretly transmitted his voice and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, didn't you receive a reward from the sect? Why are you still risking your life in Huangzhong Gorge? Besides, didn't the sect forbid the new families from An'nan Prefecture from participating in the Huangzhong Gorge matter?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it is true that I received a reward, but those things are not enough for me to break through to the Golden Core realm. It was only because I heard that the sect sent Elder Zhou to lead a team to explore Huangzhong Gorge that I shamelessly asked for an opportunity."

Chen Qingmo's lips twitched slightly. Knowing the truth, he looked at Chu Jing, who had come on his own initiative, and a trace of pity appeared deep in his eyes.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhou Tinglong led the way, guiding them deeper into the area.

Before reaching the territory of the Golden Sand Elephant, there were too few high-level second-tier demonic beasts, posing virtually no danger to these Foundation Establishment cultivators. He didn't want to waste too much time.

Before long, Zhou Tinglong saw the golden sand elephant lying prostrate on the ground.

He wielded the Storm-Slaying Sword and charged straight at the enemy.

Ever since being controlled by the Blood Fiend Cult cultivators, the Golden Sand Elephant had been filled with hostility towards the human race. Upon seeing the menacing Zhou Tinglong, anger flashed in its eyes, and it unleashed all its skills, eager to end the battle quickly.

Chen Qingmo watched the battle between the Golden Core stage cultivators from the rear, his eyes gleaming with admiration.

Their moves were far beyond what Foundation Establishment cultivators could match, and even Chen Weisheng, a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, was far inferior.

The others watched with great interest; this kind of battle allowed them to experience the aura of the Golden Core realm, which was beneficial for their breakthrough.

Seeing that the man and the elephant were locked in a stalemate, Chen Qingmo secretly transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, would you like to have that third-tier beast pet in my spirit beast pouch lend you a hand?"

Earlier in their conversation, Zhou Tinglong had revealed that he knew about Chen Qingmo's third-tier beast pet.

Chen Qingmo guessed that this matter was most likely told to him by Xiao Wujian or Ning Hexing.

Moreover, He Da and the others also knew about this matter, so he did not intend to hide Sang Que's existence.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there's no need. I can handle it."

Zhou Tinglong declined Chen Qingmo's offer.

The purpose of this training program is to give these people experience. Others may know that Chen Qingmo has a third-tier beast pet, but they may not remember it at this moment.

Moreover, he had only tested the strength of the Golden Sand Elephant earlier, and now that he had a general understanding of it, he could unleash his full power to defeat it.
