Three hundred and ninetieth chapters deep into the thousands of miles
Chapter 396 Going Thousands of Miles Deep
Xia Yan spent two days preparing twelve bottles of spiritual liquid and sent them to the Xia family along with five million gold coins in gold tickets. At the second church meeting, Xia Yan promoted seven new church deacons.
Of course, most of these church deacons are people who are close to the Xia family. Among them, five people were promoted by the Xia family from towns controlled by the family.
These people who have just served as the deacons of the church naturally support the Xia family the most. It can be said that the Yushui City church has almost become the Xia family's world now.
As for the personnel in the Extreme Challenge Hall, Auction House, and Mercenary Hall, they would not offend Xia Yan. In the Holy Church meeting, they supported almost anything the Xia family said. Wang Yue of the Wang family also did not express any opinions.
Xia Feilong was very polite. He knew that the Xi family was completely finished, and he was always glad that he had severed the cooperative relationship with the Xi family early.
After doing these things, Xia Yan felt relieved for the time being. Later, Xia Yan found time to chat with Bai Hua and Bai Rui brothers. Xia Yan asked Bai Hua how long it would take for him to control 70% of Yushui City's business. Now Bai Hua,
It is already the outer courtyard of the Xia family, and has control over all the Xia family's business.
Bai Hua said that as long as there are enough funds and the support of Zhouyun Trading Company, he can control 70% of the business in Yushui City for up to two months. The remaining 30% will be divided up by a group of families represented by the Wang family.
.
Don't be too strict when doing things. Eat meat yourself, and don't let others eat the soup. If Xia Yan does this, the families below will not cause trouble, but will support the Xia family very much.
On the third day after Xi Potian's death, Xia Yan met Yafen, the deacon of the Extreme Challenge Hall who had made Xia Yan's heart beat. Compared with a year ago, Yafen had almost no change and was still bright and charming.
Wearing a luxurious black dress, people dare not look up.
Of course, now she is no longer as calm as before in front of Xia Yan.
Seeing Xia Yan, Yafen also weighed a lot in her mind before finally deciding to meet. She knew that Xia Yan would not come to her on his own initiative. Yafen was nearly thirty years old, more than ten years older than Xia Yan.
She knew very well that she was unlikely to become Xia Yan's wife. However, if she could get closer to Xia Yan, it would be of great benefit to her in the future, so she came to see Xia Yan. Of course, Yafen was very impressed by Xia Yan.
Deep in her heart, she also hopes to see Xia Yan again.
Xia Yan also seemed very enthusiastic when he saw Yafen. At that time, Yafen had helped Xia Yan. Moreover, Yafen and Li Tianlun had never revealed their identities as Lingluo.
Although Xia Yan no longer cares about this status, the two people in the Extreme Challenge Hall have indeed always kept their promises, which made Xia Yan very fond of them.
…
"Fire Phoenix, let me meet her at the mainland fortress!"
Alone in the inner hall of the church, Xia Yan looked at a letter in his hand.
This letter was brought to the Holy Church by Huo Fenghuang and handed over to him. The letter did not say the reason, but simply asked Xia Yan to finish the matter and meet her at the mainland fortress.
For several days, Xia Yan didn't see Fire Phoenix in Yushui City.
"The matters in Yushui City have almost been dealt with. It's time to go to the Sin Forest to find the illusory realm!"
In a few years, the Xia family will have the strength to enter Ziye City."
As long as the family's children improve their martial arts, it will not be difficult for the Xia family to gain a foothold in Ziye City.
"Pack up and say goodbye to Xiaoqing!" Xia Yan's eyes flashed, "This trip to the Sin Forest will only last about two months at most. After that, I must return to the Holy Mountain Heavenly Palace."
Xia Yan packed the package and took some of the most important items with him.
At noon that day, Xia Yan returned to Xia's house to say goodbye to Xiao Qing, and asked the native dog to continue to follow Xiao Qing. In the afternoon, he arrived at Niu She Town. However, this time Xia Yan did not delay in Niu She Town and went directly to Niu She Town.
Continental Fortress.
"Whoosh..."
A black shadow approached the fortress as quickly as lightning.
"Fire Phoenix wants me to meet her at the fortress. Could it be that she has been waiting for me at the fortress?" At this time, Xia Yan could already see the huge black fortress in the distance.
It's getting late at this time, and the sun only has a cool red afterglow. However, on the road, you can still see many adventurers who are preparing to enter the sinful forest!
In order to survive, they have been walking on the edge of death. Even late at night, they can still enter the forest of sin.
"Not here!"
At the intersection passing by the fortress, Xia Yan stopped and looked around, but found no sign of Fire Phoenix.
"Go and have a look on the other side!" Xia Yan fixed his gaze and moved again.
On the other side is the interface between the fortress and the Sinful Forest.
Practitioners who cannot fly must pass through the fortress to exit the Sin Forest, or enter the Sin Forest from the mainland.
After a while!
"Xia Yan!"
A graceful figure suddenly appeared. Xia Yan took a closer look and saw that it was Fire Phoenix. The Fire Phoenix now was not wearing a fiery red dress, but a black outfit. With an exquisite face and a pair of mesmerizing eyes, she turned slightly,
Makes the blood rush.
"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you all day!" Huo Fenghuang rolled his eyes, looked at Xia Yan's whole body, and said in a reproachful tone.
"I just received your letter today!" Xia Yan said.
"Oh, let's not talk about it for now, let's go into the Sin Forest!" Fire Phoenix stretched out his jade hand, took Xia Yan, and quickly walked towards the Sin Forest.
With the speed of the two of them, they traveled hundreds of miles deep into the Sinful Forest in just over half an hour.
Although this place is also on the edge of the Sinful Forest, there are far fewer adventurers here, and no one can be seen for a long time. After going a hundred miles deep, some more ferocious beasts may appear.
Along the way, Fire Phoenix did not stop at any time.
She was in front, and Xia Yan was following behind. The two of them were like two rays of light, running straight into the depths of the forest.
Along the way, Xia Yan and Huo Fenghuang also encountered many ferocious beasts, but they did not even pause. Those ferocious beasts could only feel a gust of wind blowing by.
"Do you know the way?"
The two of them kept running for three hours and finally stopped to rest for a while. Xia Yan couldn't help but ask.
In more than three hours, the two of them traveled more than 500 miles.
According to the standards of the mainland, this is already a dangerous area of the Sin Forest. You can even encounter dangerous spiritual beasts, and people from the Dark Night Continent may also encounter it.
Of course, it is not so easy to encounter spiritual beasts and people from the Dark Night Continent.
"Of course, have you forgotten that I said that I have searched for the Realm of Illusion alone?" Huo Fenghuang glanced at Xia Yan, "However, I can't enter the entrance of the Realm of Illusion alone, so I have to find someone.
Just stay with me."
"How long will it take to arrive?" Xia Yan asked.
Now they have penetrated five hundred miles deep. The entire Sin Forest is about five thousand miles long and two thousand miles wide.
"Don't worry, let's take a rest. In three hours, we will reach the entrance to the Realm of Illusion." Fire Phoenix stretched out his hand to tuck his messy hair, "We won't encounter spiritual beasts on this road, just ordinary beasts.
It’s a herd of wild beasts. As long as we are not surrounded, there is no danger, so don’t worry.”
When Huo Fenghuang spoke, his eyes flickered a little.
Xia Yan always felt that Fire Phoenix seemed to be hiding something from him. However, he was not sure.
The two rested for a while, and Huo Fenghuang gave some dry food to Xia Yan. After eating a little, the two walked through the sin forest again.
"Roar~"
The feet shook slightly, and an earth-shaking roar came from the side.
The dense forest suddenly fell into chaos.
"Spirit beast?"
The power of this roar alone is so shocking that it is probably a spiritual beast.
And it can be judged from the cry that this spiritual beast seems to be extremely angry and seems to be fighting with the enemy.
"Go, don't stop!" Huo Fenghuang shouted quickly when he saw Xia Yan slowing down.
"Yeah!" Xia Yan nodded and sped up.
Three hours later, the sky turned white and dawn arrived. Huo Fenghuang stopped again, and Xia Yan gradually slowed down behind Huo Fenghuang.
"Arrived at the entrance to the Realm of Illusion?" Xia Yan looked around. The trees here seemed to be sparse, not as dense as the woods in most places they passed through just now.
Many exposed rocks emerge from the ground.
"We're almost there, let's take a break and recover our spiritual power!" Fire Phoenix looked solemnly, looking ahead, her body tense, and Xia Yan could feel the fluctuations in her spiritual power.
Xia Yan frowned slightly, and did not ask any more questions. He just used the Spirit Gathering Point to absorb external spiritual energy and replenish the spiritual energy consumed while running quickly.
Huo Fenghuang took out the map and compared the nearby terrain.
Xia Yan could feel that this was definitely not the first time Huo Fenghuang had come here. She was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. And during the thousands of miles of running, Huo Fenghuang didn't even spend much time identifying the direction.
A state of high-speed running.
After a while of burning incense, Huo Fenghuang stood up from his squatting position on the ground, looked ahead, and his eyes flashed.
"Xia Yan, I'll go take a look first. You wait for me here. If anyone approaches, you'd better not show your face." Fire Phoenix turned around and said to Xia Yan.
"What do you mean?" Xia Yan asked with a frown.
"There may be other cultivators around here. Be careful here alone and don't get discovered. Those people are very vicious and very powerful. If you are discovered, you will probably be killed by them." Huo Fenghuang said.
He turned his head, twisted his waist and legs, and disappeared from Xia Yan's sight.
Watching the Fire Phoenix disappear, Xia Yan stopped where he was for a moment, then quietly followed him towards the place where the Fire Phoenix disappeared.
"There are traces of fighting here, and some of the traces are new and cannot be older than three months!" Xia Yan had long discovered these traces of fighting. Some rocks were turned into powder. It was obvious that he was very powerful.
The practitioners used spiritual power to destroy it.
