Chapter 145 Twenty days!
"My nephew knows that there is a nearly double power gap between the initial stage of the Jindan period and the peak of the Jindan period. Uncle, don't hold back. Come on! Let my nephew see the true strength of the Jindan period!"

Sun Zecheng shouted with full confidence.

Hongfu was just about to continue, but there was no chance anymore. The noise just now had already alarmed the Huangfeng Valley camp.

Soon, all the Jindan elders of Huangfeng Valley in Jinguyuan Camp showed up, including Sun Zecheng's master Li Huayuan, Chen Qiaoqian's master Huiming, and a Jindan elder whom Sun Zecheng did not recognize, but from the greetings he knew was the Jindan elder named Du.

They felt the battle fluctuations at the Jindan level and thought something had happened in the camp, but when they rushed over to take a look, they were surprised to see only Elder Hongfu and two foundation-building disciples, Sun Zecheng and Dong Xuaner, but no other Jindan cultivators. So what was going on with the commotion just now?

The elders were puzzled.

In the front-line camp, only Elder Hongfu is in the late Jindan stage, with the strongest strength and the highest status.

She didn't explain when everyone came, and no one dared to ask her, so they just glanced at each other.

It was only when Sun Zecheng saw his master Li Huayuan looking at him with an inquiring look that he smiled and explained, "It's okay. It was Master Hongfu who was demonstrating magic to me just now."

"Nothing, let's go," Hong Fu said coldly.
It’s good that everything is alright. Although everyone was confused, they just did as they were told and dispersed.

"Zecheng, when you're done here, come over to the meeting room. Your master has something to ask you." Li Huayuan told Sun Zecheng before leaving.
"Okay, disciple, obey your command."

……

After everyone left, the competition naturally could not continue. After all, a full-strength attack from a late Jindan cultivator would cause quite a stir.

"It seems that if we try it in the camp, the noise will be too loud and we can't continue. Well, Xuan'er, come back with me." Although he had not experienced Hongfu's strongest attack, judging from the reaction of the shield in the previous times, Sun Zecheng knew that he would have no problem withstanding Hongfu's full-strength attack.

"Okay, Xuan'er, you go with him." Hongfu nodded and agreed to let Sun Zecheng take Dong Xuan'er away.

Hearing Hongfu's agreement, Dong Xuaner jumped up with joy, and immediately ran to Sun Zecheng and took Sun Zecheng's arm.

Sun Zecheng took out a jade map with information about Yuanjiazhuang in Beiliang State, handed it to Hongfu, and said with a soundproof cover: "I wonder if Master knows this location. If Yue State can't hold on, we'll meet here."

Hong Fu got angry as soon as she saw it: "This old fox is really on guard against me!"

Oh no! Elder Linghu really had some concerns about Hong Fu.

"No, Elder Linghu knew clearly about the relationship between his nephew and Xuan'er, but he still let his disciples get involved in this matter..." Sun Zecheng still had a good impression of Elder Linghu, so he naturally spoke for him.

However, Sun Zecheng thought again, perhaps Patriarch Linghu wanted to tell Elder Hongfu through him?
Sun Zecheng quickly figured out Linghu Patriarch's plan.
Women are emotional animals, and emotions are irrational and difficult to judge, so he cannot trust Hongfu.

If Hongfu betrays or leaves Huangfeng Valley, the reason must be love.

The only thing that can fight against feelings is feelings. If Sun Zecheng and Dong Xuan'er were close enough to reveal the secret to Hong Fu, then Dong Xuan'er and Sun Zecheng would become the emotional bond that Hong Fu would leave behind.

This old fox is really good at calculating.

After hearing what Sun Zecheng said, Hong Fu Nu didn't say anything, but her expression eased a lot.

"Well, uncle (master), I (disciple) will take my leave first." Sun Zecheng pulled Dong Xuan'er and they both said goodbye to Hong Fu.

"Go ahead. You can come to me if you have any problems." Hongfu added kindly. After all, she was his own daughter, and it was impossible for him not to care about her.

"Thank you, Master!" Dong Xuan'er didn't know that Master Hongfu was actually her biological mother. She had always been strictly disciplined. It was rare to see her master so kind, so she hurriedly thanked him.

……

Leaving Hongfu's residence,

Sun Zecheng took Dong Xuaner to meet Master Li Huayuan in the meeting hall.

"After I say hello, just listen quietly." Sun Zecheng instructed.

"Yes, Xuan'er knows."

Since practicing dual cultivation, Dong Xuan'er has become a completely different person.

"Hello, Master (Uncle)!" Sun Zecheng and Dong Xuaner greeted Li Huayuan in unison.

"Zecheng, let me ask you something." Li Huayuan never talks in polite terms.

"Master, please speak."

"Your third and fourth senior brothers came back and told me your guess, and I also think it is very likely." Li Huayuan is a realist, so it is easy for him to understand and believe that the demons would challenge each other and then launch a sneak attack in advance, as well as betrayal.

"Alas, your master's wife is also on the front line. I must take precautions early."

Li Huayuan should be regretting letting his master's wife come to the front line now, right?
"I just don't know the exact time when the demon sect will launch a sneak attack in advance, and which sect is more likely to betray?"

This is what Li Huayuan wanted to ask, which is a good thing. Sun Zecheng had originally planned to tell his master about this, so now he doesn't have to find excuses.

However, the master asked the questions in the wrong order. He had to first determine who was the traitor before he could further guess the time when the other party would launch the attack.

“Disciple has heard that among the seven sects, the Moon Covering Sect, Spirit Beast Mountain, and the Six Sects of the Demonic Path have the deepest connection.”

"Yanyue Sect is the strongest among the seven sects of Yue State. Having been the boss for many years, disciples feel that they are unlikely to be willing to be subordinate to Hehuan Sect."

"Then only Spirit Beast Mountain is left. As for the other four sects, Qingxu Sect, Huadaowu, Tianque Fort, Jujian Sect and the Six Sects of Demon Dao, they have no historical origins, so it is difficult for them to suddenly establish mutual trust with each other. The possibility is not high."

"In the last ambush, the Demonic Path Yuling Sect was led by a collusion between the inside and outside to launch a sneak attack. There were only a few Yuling Sect cultivators in total. They were basically all surrendered cultivators. I feel that it was more like a coordinated show between the two sides."

“So I guess that the traitor is most likely from Spirit Beast Mountain.”

"Yeah, that makes sense." Li Huayuan snorted and nodded.

"Since we have determined that the traitor is most likely to be from Spirit Beast Mountain, the next step is to guess when the other party will launch the attack."

"Just like the last attack, we need to cooperate with both inside and outside forces."

"Then when the Spirit Beast Mountain host controls the key points of the defense, it should be the time for the enemy to launch a sneak attack."

"Master, when will Lingshou Mountain host the grand formation?"

"Twenty days later, it will be the turn of Spirit Beast Mountain to preside over the great formation of the seven sects."

Sun Zecheng didn't say anything else. Dong Xuan'er just sat quietly beside Sun Zecheng.

Li Huayuan was also silent.

Everyone understands that, if nothing unexpected happens, when it is Lingshou Mountain's turn to preside over the formation, that will be the time for the evil to attack in advance!

Twenty days, twenty days to go!
Twenty days later, the fate of Yue State will probably be similar to that of today's Cheqi State and Jiang State, and it will become the territory of the six sects of the evil way!
Where to go?

……

"Then, shall our six sects unite and launch another counter-ambush?" After a long silence, Li Huayuan suddenly became murderous and asked.

"In one year, the six sects of the Demonic Path have completely controlled the Cheqi Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom, and can spare at least twice as many people. With the addition of a Spirit Beast Mountain, the strength gap is huge..." Sun Zecheng did not continue. Master Li Huayuan is not stupid either. He will understand. "

After hearing this, Li Huayuan thought for a moment, the murderous look in his eyes faded, and his eyes became dim, with a sense of powerlessness.

"If we lose, how will you leave? With Master Hongfu?" Li Huayuan looked at Sun Zecheng and then at Dong Xuaner.

"I haven't discussed this matter with Senior Uncle Hongfu yet, but when the time comes, I think I will go with her."

"Then we'll act together!"

"I will contact the other two uncles, and we will go together when the time comes!"

"Okay, I will tell Master Hongfu." Sun Zecheng replied.

Naturally, it was not Sun Zecheng's turn to make the decision on this matter. Li Huayuan's proposal was to let Sun Zecheng convey his meaning.

Hearing Sun Zecheng agree to tell Li Huayuan, he nodded. "Then I'll take my leave first!"

From Li Huayuan, we learned that the date when Lingshou Mountain would take over the formation, which was also the most likely time for the Six Demonic Sects to launch a surprise attack, was twenty days later.

He left the meeting hall with Dong Xuan'er, and thought for a while. There were still two shields that had not been delivered. He went to urge Mr. Zhang, the owner of the weapon shop, to hurry up.

"It can be a little rough, as long as it has all the functions, but you must deliver the remaining two heavy shields within 18 days."

"Okay, no problem," replied Boss Zhang.

……

On the way back, Sun Zecheng said to Dong Xuan'er: "Xuan'er, if nothing unexpected happens, our Yue Kingdom will probably be the same as the Cheqi Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom in twenty days."

"Ah?" Dong Xuan'er simply said "ah".

"We may lose the Kingdom of Yue," Sun Zecheng continued.

"Oh."

"Xuan'er is following Senior Brother anyway." Dong Xuan'er held Sun Zecheng's hand tighter and looked at him sweetly, with a carefree expression.

"Oh." It was Sun Zecheng's turn to say "Oh".

How happy it is to be carefree!

I remember an old man once said: Women and children can be carefree, but men can't!
Okay, Xuan'er, you take care of yourself and don't worry. I'll take care of everything!
Sun Zecheng has completed the transformation of three magical weapons: the sixty-six-drive giant sword and spear, the forty-eight-drive Vajra Indestructible Heavy Shield, and the twenty-four-drive White Cloud Flying Car, now having all the functions of attack, defense, and escape.

Thinking about how he had relied on scientifically modified magic tools and the spirit stones obtained from robbery to have the strength to face off against a late Jindan cultivator with his foundation-building cultivation, Sun Zecheng remained extremely calm!
Besides, after he leaked the information to the public, the strongest forces of the Huangfeng Valley have all been prepared for defense. The impact of the Demon Sect's sneak attack and the Spirit Beast Mountain's betrayal will definitely be reduced to the lowest level among the six sects.

The four Jindan who had been prepared broke out together when the mutation just started. Coupled with this unexpected event, they would definitely give a surprise to the demon monks who came to besiege Huangfeng Valley!
Now, let’s go back and check whether Dong Xuaner’s martial arts skills have improved after practicing in seclusion for so long!

……

When we returned to Sun Zecheng's residence, Chen Qiaoqian had already returned.

"Husband, have you brought Sister Xuan'er back?" Having been corrected once by Sun Zecheng, Chen Qiaoqian knew how to address Dong Xuan'er. She called her sister and walked to Sun Zecheng's other half and took his arm.

"Senior Sister Chen?" The two had known each other for a long time, and Dong Xuan'er was a little surprised.

"Oh, hello, sister!" Dong Xuaner reacted quickly.

Fortunately, Dong Xuaner's reaction when she saw Chen Qiaoqian was very happy, and Sun Zecheng felt that Dong Xuaner's happiness was genuine.

Perhaps it was because she had been under Hong Fu's strict control for a long time, and was lonely and lacked friends and companions. Moreover, Sun Zecheng felt that Dong Xuan'er seemed to have no ideas or thoughts, and was an extremely simple person.

"You all know each other, so there's no need for me to introduce you. We're all family, so you should be united and friendly with each other."

"Okay," they both responded in unison.

Very good. When the two met, there was no usual jealousy or ignoring of each other. Sun Zecheng was in a good mood.

Then, it’s time to enjoy the blessing of having two wives. Hehe, I haven’t tried it yet.

Sun Zecheng separated the Yin-Yang dual-Yin formation, and Chen Qiaoqian understood it immediately.

"Sister Xuan'er has been taken away by Master Hongfu for a long time, right? Husband, you should spend more time with Sister Xuan'er today, and go out for a walk with Qiaoqiao." Chen Qiaoqian took the initiative to avoid him, but she felt a little sour in her heart.

"How dare you! Qiaoqiao, where do you want to run to? I have to punish you! Come in!"

Sun Zecheng would not let Chen Qiaoqian run away. He changed his left and right hands from being held by her to hugging her slender waist, and then he entered the formation with one on each side.

"Xuan'er, you come first. It's been a whole year since you were taken away by your master and you haven't practiced dual cultivation, right? Come, take off your clothes and let me check your cultivation!"

Dong Xuan'er was practicing the dual cultivation technique, and she was also a very simple person.
Hearing this, she neither hesitated nor was embarrassed. She smiled sweetly at Sun Zecheng and took off her clothes calmly and naturally. After that, she took the initiative to help Sun Zecheng take off his clothes, and then started again as if no one was around.

……

How embarrassing! Chen Qiaoqian blushed and her heart beat wildly. She was even embarrassed to watch at first.

But soon she opened her eyes wide because it was really an eye-opener.

Dong Xuaner's body was plump where it should be fat, and still slim where it should be slim. Her whole body was as lithe as if she had no bones, and she could perform all kinds of unimaginable poses one by one. It was simply a highly difficult acrobatics.

……

Is this possible? Chen Qiaoqian's mouth was dry.

"Why are you still dressed so neatly? Come, let's go together." Sun Zecheng said, pulling Chen Qiaoqian's hand.

Chen Qiaoqian felt the touch of his hand and unconsciously began to soothe it gently.

Dong Xuaner smiled sweetly at Chen Qiaoqian.

……

Dong Xuaner's martial arts was indeed magical. After two hours of fierce battle, she was able to advance to the middle stage of foundation building while practicing dual cultivation with Sun Zecheng!

Dong Xuan'er's qualifications are also very poor.
In the original novel, Dong Xuan'er's ranking was even lower than that of the descendant of Manager Ye who had a deal with Han Li. In fact, she was the last one on the list of those who received the Foundation Establishment Pill!
It was only because she was Hongfu's descendant that she was able to keep the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, this person who ranked last in terms of qualifications not only established his foundation, but even succeeded in forming his elixir!
Building a foundation is already difficult, and forming a pill is even more difficult!
Think about it, there are nearly ten thousand people in the Qi Refining stage in Huangfeng Valley, but only a few hundred have established their foundation, and there are only a few Golden Core Elders who have successfully formed their elixir!

With Dong Xuan'er's aptitude, she could reach the stage of Dan-Jie! This shows how magical the technique Dong Xuan'er practiced is!

Even Sun Zecheng, who was practicing dual cultivation, benefited from it!

If the late stage of foundation building is divided into four small levels, Sun Zecheng was originally at the top of the first level. Now he takes advantage of the situation and easily crosses over to the second level of the late stage of foundation building!

This was the second time that Sun Zecheng was promoted because of dual cultivation with Dong Xuaner, following the dual cultivation in Yanling Fort!
Dong Xuaner explained that her master Hongfu asked her to go into seclusion for this reason. The spiritual energy accumulated from a year of practice would burst out during the dual cultivation, and would help both parties to break through and advance.

"That's great! Then Xuan'er, you should stay in seclusion for a while."

"Xuan'er, don't do that. You don't know how hard it is to be in seclusion! The harder it gets the further you go! I miss you every day! I'm going crazy thinking about you! Xuan'er wants me to practice dual cultivation with you every day!" Dong Xuan'er refused. With such a happy thing as dual cultivation, who would want to be in seclusion alone?

Dong Xuaner's dual cultivation skills are not only varied, but can also help men advance! Chen Qiaoqian is both envious and ashamed because she doesn't have this ability.

Suddenly, with a "bang", Sun Zecheng slapped Chen Qiaoqian on the butt.

"You haven't behaved well today! You even wanted to run away! Now it's time to punish you!"

……

"Ah! Qiaoqiao is wrong! Qiaoqiao is wrong!"

"If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment!"

……

Relying on the magical power of the Prison Cauldron, Sun Zecheng easily subdued it, but he was a little thirsty.

Sun Zecheng suddenly remembered that he had bought a lot of spiritual fruits, spiritual tea and spiritual wine.
He quickly took it out from the storage bag and tasted it with Dong Xuaner and Chen Qiaoqian to quench their thirst.

The three of them rested for two hours and then continued, regardless of day or night.

……

In this way, Sun Zecheng, Chen Qiaoqian and Dong Xuaner were immersed in the world of three and were so happy that they didn't know how much time passed. Five days passed in a flash.

On this day, the Huangfeng Valley camp at the Jinguyuan front suddenly received a strange order.

　When I woke up in the morning, I found that I had swallowed a lot of content. It felt weird to read.
