171: chase!

Although the Qiu Xian Continent is chaotic, its indigenous forces are powerful, making it the largest slave-producing land among the three continents.

It is precisely because of this chaos that it is a good opportunity for Chen De to show his skills.

Poor Chen De.

Having gotten to where he is now, if he wants to do good deeds, he can only do them quietly in inconspicuous places.

Is this the treatment a good person should receive?

Is this the behavior one should exhibit when doing good deeds?

My heavens!

This world is too crazy!

Chen De couldn't imagine what kind of a mad world he was living in.

Finally, Chen De still prepared himself, compromised with reality, and stepped onto the teleportation array heading to the Qiu Xian Continent.

Then, Chen De arrived at the Qiu Xian Continent.

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Chen De looked around.

So few people!

Here, apart from the personnel responsible for the teleportation array,

there were only about a hundred or so others; this number was too small.

Newly arrived at the Qiu Xian Continent, Chen De planned to look around first.

It was definitely not feasible for Chen De to go directly to Zhang Cun now; he might not even be able to meet him.

The other party is a True Disciple, and according to rumors, his cultivation should be at the fifth level of the Void Union Realm.

After all, he has been a True Disciple for over a thousand years, so his cultivation cannot be weak.

If he were to use his true strength, the Qiu Xian Continent would have been unified long ago.

Of course, if he used his true strength, the other few could also do the same.

Normally, he cannot use his true strength.

But if he encounters a life-threatening danger, for example, if Chen De directly confronts him, he will definitely fight Chen De.

Chen De cannot defeat him yet, so it's not good to confront him directly.

Even if he could defeat him, the other party must have some methods Chen De doesn't know about.

If Chen De can't handle it, then Chen De will be out of luck.

Currently, Chen De's idea is to first find a Core Disciple to test the waters.

So, which Core Disciple should he look for?

Thus, Chen De randomly chose a direction and proceeded.

During this process, Chen De saw many ruins of indigenous native cities, with rubble and broken walls everywhere.

For example, one city had half of it already buried by sandstorms.

In others, the city walls showed obvious signs of artificial damage.

Walking inside, he didn't see many intact houses; houses had collapsed, and courtyards were overgrown with weeds.

Walking on the road, the road was also broken and dilapidated, with a small puddle every two steps.

Chen De thought of the records about the Seeking Immortality Realm, which were some records from when the Qiu Xian Hall first obtained the Qiu Xian Hall until now.

It is said that at the very beginning, when the Qiu Xian Hall first arrived in the Seeking Immortality Realm,

the three subsidiary continents, according to Chen De's calculations from his previous life,

each subsidiary continent had an area equivalent to more than eight hundred times that of Blue Star.

There were countless races; just for humans, each continent had at least over fifty trillion people.

Currently, according to statistics, there should only be about twenty to thirty trillion.

As for the main continent—Qiu Xian Continent—its population is at least ten times the total of the three major subsidiary continents.

Alas, greed has harmed people!

If Chen De had discovered such a world, and Chen De happened to have enough strength,

Chen De believed that he would desperately, actively, and quietly protect this world.

For his own selfish gain, to plunge so many people into dire straits.

Chen De would never, ever do such a thing in his life.

Even if it happened, Chen De believed it would only be out of helplessness.

Absolutely, absolutely, only to endure humiliation and bear a heavy burden.

All of this must be for a greater morality.

Because, besides morality, Chen De really couldn't think of any other reason for him to do such a thing.

Lost in thought, Chen De unwittingly walked into a jungle.

It was lush and green, and the environment was quite pleasant.

If it were used to dispose of bodies… if it were used for sightseeing, it would definitely be very nice.

Close call, almost spoke a lie.

As everyone knows, Chen De does not lie; Chen De's credibility is as reliable as his morality.

Then, Chen De saw several small red dots appear on the system map, all of which were right near Chen De.

As Chen De's cultivation increased, the range of the system map had become quite large.

Therefore, there were quite a few red dots appearing on Chen De's system map.

But there weren't many that were so close to Chen De.

After thinking for a moment, Chen De had explored enough; other places were pretty much the same.

There was no need to continue walking; important matters came first.

So, Chen De decided to go and check them out, search… ask for directions, and gather information.

However, on Chen De's map, these people and those behind them…

It seemed they were being chased?

...

"Stop, no running!"

"Everyone run quickly, if they catch us, we're dead."

"We finally managed to escape, we absolutely cannot be caught again!"

At this moment, in the same jungle about a hundred miles from Chen De,

a group of people were engaged in a chase.

The people being chased included both men and women, but without exception, whether male or female, they were all exceptionally handsome or beautiful, with superior looks.

The women possessed beauty that could make fish sink and wild geese fall, and flowers blush and the moon hide.

The men were as radiant as a jade tree in the wind, with faces like jade plates leaning against trees.

Each and every one of them was incredibly good-looking.

Those chasing them, on the other hand, were all dressed in uniform attire.

It was neither the style of the Qiu Xian Hall disciple robes nor very similar to the local indigenous clothing.

Wielding weapons, one of them struck a handsome man in front with a spear.

"Ah!"

After a scream, the handsome man fell to the ground, pinned by the spear.

"A Nan!"

A beautiful woman who was escaping with him cried out in pain, but dared not waste time.

Without any hesitation, she fled without looking back.

Such a scene had happened many times in this chase.

At first, they hadn't thought about taking everyone with them.

However, cruel reality told them that doing so would only lead to one more casualty.

These days, their team had dwindled to only half its original size.

Their spirits were also no longer as high as when they first escaped.

But now, they could only run; otherwise, what awaited them would be even more terrifying than death.

A Nan, the handsome man with the spear in his back, was not yet dead and was struggling desperately.

But the spear in his back pinned him firmly to the ground, unable to move an inch.

The people behind caught up, didn't even glance at him, and pulled out the spear.

Then they delivered another spear thrust and continued to chase forward without looking back.

At this point, A Nan was still not completely dead, his consciousness blurry.

He could no longer clearly see the scene before him, nor the blurry figure slowly approaching him.

He could only cry out in a weak voice, "Help… help… me!"

As he spoke, he tried to reach out in that direction.

However, he grabbed nothing.

Finally, that blurry figure had arrived in front of the handsome man…
