Chapter 666 Eliminating External Forces in the Sinful State!

Zhu Chen originally thought that Sun Wukong and Xiao Yan would feel a bit distant since it was their first meeting.

But seeing how familiar the other person was with him, he suddenly realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

This monkey seems to be able to talk to anyone and play with anyone.

"Alright, everyone, stop fooling around..."

Zhu Chen clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, then said seriously, "I called you here because I have important business to discuss with you regarding the situation in Zuizhou. I already briefly mentioned it in the group chat earlier."

"There are many strongholds of the Immortal Ancient Cult here. They do evil deeds, oppress the natives, plunder resources, and commit all kinds of atrocities on this land."

"I need to stay here to protect Shi Hao and can't leave, so I need your help to eliminate all these strongholds..."

Upon hearing that the disciples of the ancient sects had not only seized the Sinful State for themselves but also continued to exploit the local inhabitants, Xiao Yan was immediately enraged.

He was someone who rose from the bottom in the Battle Through the Heavens.

What I can't stand the most is this kind of bullying behavior.

"Don't worry, brother. I won't let any of those ancient sect disciples get away with it. Since they dare to act arrogantly here, they should be prepared to be beaten."

Xiao Yan rolled up his sleeves and responded to Zhu Chen indignantly, then turned to Sun Wukong and Yang Qi: "What about you two? How are you doing?"

Sun Wukong had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Yan's stance, he immediately stepped forward, scratching his head and saying, "I, Old Sun, have just learned a lot of skills from my master and I'm just looking for a place to test them out. Brother Zhu Chen, wherever you point, I, Old Sun, will fight. I'll do whatever you say..."

Yang Qi stood there without speaking, but nodded slightly to indicate that he was willing to help.

He had just emerged from seclusion, his strength greatly increased, and he needed some real combat to test his cultivation results.

He asks for nothing else but that the disciples of the ancient sect in this sinful state not be too weak.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fully unleash his potential.

Looking at his three brothers, full of fighting spirit, Zhu Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He turned and walked into the stone hall, took an ancient map from the table and spread it on the ground.

This is a topographical map of the Sin Province that Qin Changsheng had given him before, which shows the distribution of the strongholds of the major ancient sects in the Sin Province.

"The east-west length of the Sinful State is 230 million kilometers, and the north-south length is 80 million li. Centered on the city we are currently in, there are three ancient religious strongholds within a radius of 10,000 li."

"One is a branch of Sword Valley, not large in scale, but it is always guarded by a Heavenly God Realm cultivator. Another is the stronghold of Demon Sunflower Garden, located in a relatively secluded place deep in the mountains. And there is also a stronghold of the Heaven-Mending Sect, in a small town to the east..."

Zhu Chen pointed to the markings on the map and explained slowly and deliberately.

After saying that, he looked up at Xiao Yan and the other two: "These are all the surrounding strongholds. You can start from here. After we clear these three strongholds, we will move on to more distant areas."

As Xiao Yan listened to Zhu Chen's introduction, his originally confident expression gradually froze.

His eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the markings on the map, exclaiming, "Brother, you're saying this Sin Province... is 230 million kilometers long from east to west? And 80 million li long from north to south?"

Zhu Chen nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yan swallowed hard and turned to look at Yang Qi and Sun Wukong.

However, the expressions on their faces weren't much better; both were utterly shocked. "Big brother, you're not kidding, are you?"

Xiao Yan turned around and continued to Zhu Chen: "One of the states in your world is as big as the entire Doupo Continent, or even much bigger. And this is just one of the three thousand states. How big must the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths be?"

Zhu Chen smiled and said calmly, "The dimensions of Perfect World are indeed quite large. You'll get used to it eventually."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He originally thought that Sin Prefecture was a small place, and that he could easily clean up those ancient religious strongholds by simply walking around.

But now it seems he was too naive.

This place, just the Sin Province, is more vast than their entire Battle Through the Heavens.

Fortunately, his cultivation has now made a breakthrough, allowing him to use the spatial passage to directly cross endless distances.

Otherwise, the task assigned by Zhu Chen would be really difficult to complete.

“Brother Zhu, with the strength of the three of us, clearing out a few strongholds shouldn’t be a problem, but this Sin Province is so vast, and those ancient sect strongholds are scattered in various places. Relying on just the three of us might not be very efficient…”

Yang Qi also expressed his opinion at this moment.

He wasn't worried about not being able to drive those ancient sect disciples out of the Sinful State.

However, given the vast size of this Sinful State, it would likely take a considerable amount of time to completely eradicate all the ancient religious strongholds scattered throughout the region.

Of the three, only Sun Wukong didn't think that much about it.

He scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "So what if the place is big? I, Old Sun, can travel 108,000 li in one somersault. It won't take me long to travel all over this Sinful State!"

Xiao Yan glanced at him furtively and suppressed a laugh, saying, "Great Sage, you can travel 108,000 li in a single somersault, but the two of us can't keep up. You can't possibly take down all the strongholds by yourself, can you?"

He said that just to show off in front of Sun Wukong.

Although Sun Wukong's somersault cloud can travel 108,000 li in one go, the spatial passages he creates are in no way inferior to his opponent's somersault cloud.

He wanted to see whether Sun Wukong's somersault cloud or the spatial passage he had created with his Dou Di power would be faster when they set off together later.

If his spatial portal were faster, Sun Wukong's expression would be absolutely priceless!

Sun Wukong didn't think much of Xiao Yan's words, he just chuckled.

Zhu Chen saw through Xiao Yan's plan and immediately shook his head, laughing, "You don't need to travel on your own. Although Sin Province is large, there are teleportation arrays between the major cities. You just need to find the nearest teleportation array to quickly reach the vicinity of each stronghold. I will have the cultivators of Sin Province guide you. They are very familiar with the terrain and the location of the teleportation arrays here."

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up: "There's a teleportation array? Why didn't you say so earlier, brother..."

Zhu Chen rolled his eyes at him, then continued, "You guys clear out the surrounding strongholds first, and then gradually advance outwards. Don't rush, there's plenty of time. Shi Hao's soul is undergoing trials in the Spirit Realm, which will take at least a few days. During this time, clear out as many as you can."

Yang Qi nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it this way. Let's not delay, let's set off immediately!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Chen casually summoned a few cultivators from the Sinful State and asked them to lead the way for Xiao Yan and the other two. He himself returned to Shi Hao's side, sat down cross-legged, and began to silently protect him.
