"In the past, Mr. Da once said that the Southern Qilin and Northern Wulong are talents that amaze the world, possessing the ability to secure peace and sweep through Heaven and Earth. You are a rising star of Confucianism, carrying the hopes of countless Confucians, naturally blessed with great fortune. You've just arrived in the Northern Land, and already a mysterious phenomenon has emerged, proving that this thing is destined for you." Someone praised.

The young man, with a feather fan and silk scarf, had a jade-like face. The feather fan stirred a gentle breeze, blowing his hair at the temples: "Indeed, I've just arrived here, and there's already a creation emerging, it must be destined for me. Let's go explore and see what that thing really is."

A group of people left their horses at the foot of the mountain and headed straight for the place where wind and thunder converged.

Once the group had gone far, a mist appeared, manifesting into Zhang Chen's figure. His eyes looked towards the large number of armored warriors moving away and the spirited young man, with a hint of surprise: "Southern Qilin, Zhong Xiang?"

Zhang Chen's Dharma Eye opened, and a stream of golden light flowed in his gaze. Around the Southern Qilin, there was a fiery red stream flowing, and the feather fan in his hand seemed wrapped by a red flame.

"Mysterious, isn't it?" Zhang Chen mused.

Actually, the Empress Tomb isn't that easy to break into. If it were so easy to enter, the Fox Race would have long since detected even a trace of it.

Zhang Chen glanced at the backs of the group, didn't bother further, and instead transformed into mist disappearing among the mountains. He caught a Great Snake, then after drawing blood, pulling sinews, and skinning it, he returned the same way through the mountains, seeing Chen Xu already gathered a pile of firewood, smoke rising, already starting to burn.

"Didn't expect you had the firewood ready." Zhang Chen walked over with the snake meat, skewered it on branches, and placed it over the bonfire.

"I feared that after you hunted, gathering firewood and starting a fire would waste more time, so I prepared it in advance because I really can't bear the hunger any longer." Chen Xu said weakly.

Zhang Chen smiled: "You don't mind eating snake meat, do you?"

"Having something to eat is good enough, who dares to be picky?" Chen Xu replied helplessly, with lips dry and cracking.

Zhang Chen turned the bonfire, the aroma of roasting meat spreading in the mountain forest, the snake Zhang Chen hunted was very large, three meters long and as thick as a bowl, the two couldn't possibly eat it all.

As the fat kept dripping onto the bonfire, Chen Xu licked his lips, eyes filled with fervor.

"Drink some water first, lest you die of thirst." Zhang Chen pulled down a water pouch from his waist, tossing it in front of Chen Xu.

Chen Xu hurriedly picked up the pouch, gulping several mouthfuls, then let out a long breath of relief: "Haven't drunk this satisfyingly in a long time."

"As long as you find the main tomb chamber of the Empress Tomb, I can guarantee you'll enjoy endless wealth and prosperity throughout your life." Zhang Chen said.

"I'm just afraid that the phenomenon will attract people from the city." Chen Xu's eyes showed a trace of worry.

"What if it does attract them? The Feng Shui Grand Array covers this place, they can't break it, nor find the entrance to the main tomb chamber, they can only stare blankly." Zhang Chen said indifferently.

As they spoke, a commotion sounded from afar, and they saw the Southern Qilin, Zhong Xiang, leading a team of armored warriors approaching.

"Trouble's coming." Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen, waiting for his reaction.

Zhang Chen said nothing, quietly roasting snake meat, not expecting to encounter this Confucian prodigy here.

"Didn't expect that in the wilderness, just as this young master felt hunger, roasted meat would come to the door." Zhong Xiang's voice echoed in the mountains.

A team of armored warriors promptly surrounded, began driving away Zhang Chen and Chen Xu: "You there, Zhong Xiang is here, you two peasants hurry up and leave, lest you offend Zhong Xiang."

Chen Xu glanced at Zhang Chen, seeing no response, quickly got up and smiled: "We'll leave right away, wouldn't dare offend the young master's eyes."

Speaking, he forcibly suppressed his body's weariness, about to take the snake meat from the grill.

"Hold on! You two peasants can leave, but the snake meat stays." Zhong Xiang's voice sounded.

"We're not selling this snake meat," Zhang Chen replied.

"I never thought of buying. This snake meat is your atonement for offending me. Your appearance sullies my eyes, a great crime!" Zhong Xiang's voice full of amusement: "Being lenient not demanding your lives, so hurry up and leave?"

Zhang Chen showed a cold expression, his eyes looked at Zhong Xiang. Although unsure of this guy's rank, just retreating was absolutely impossible.
