Chapter 1066 The Same Heritage
Zhang Daoxin gritted his teeth and said to Wu Bandao, "Old Wu, I'll carve a path for you later. You take Yuanyuan and leave here quickly."
Wu Bandao's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
"What do you mean? Leave you here alone?"
"I'm telling you, even if I die, I won't do such a thing!"
Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao had grown up together since childhood. Though not blood brothers, their bond had long surpassed that of ordinary siblings.
Ever since they came out of the snow forest, the two had relied on each other.
Now trapped in such a godforsaken place, if anything happened to either of them, the other would never abandon them.
"Stop being so sentimental, you brat. Yuanyuan is the Old Ancestor's disciple. If anything happens to her, how will you face the Old Ancestor when you get out?"
When they were together earlier, Zhang Dao had asked about Yuanyuan's origins.
After learning that she had previously gone to the snow forest to see the Old Ancestor, both of them had considered Fang Yuanyuan and the others as their own.
Not to mention that Chen Yang had specifically instructed them to take good care of the young girl before entering.
But now, apart from Fang Yuanyuan, everyone else was already dead...
Thinking of this, Zhang Dao's eyes reddened.
Fang Yuanyuan, who was behind them, wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth, "Two brothers, Yuanyuan doesn't want to leave here and live alone!"
Before Zhang Dao could speak, the attacking fierce beasts had already charged forward.
The fierce beasts in the swamp were extremely cunning. After several of them were killed, they immediately surrounded them without attacking. Only when a sufficient number of fierce beasts gathered did they begin their assault.
Just as Zhang Dao was preparing to fight, someone suddenly appeared before them.
With each move, the newcomer took the life of a fierce beast, demonstrating astonishing power.
Upon seeing the face of the person, Zhang Dao's eyes widened in shock. "Big Brother Chen Yang?"
Although they didn't know how Chen Yang found them, the three of them quickly went up to help.
Seeing the three of them, Chen Yang's expression improved considerably.
At least the three of them were safe.
With the arrival of the main force, the fierce beasts of the swamp immediately scattered.
The reason the swamp beasts could surround Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao was entirely due to their sheer numbers.
However, now that the number of martial artists was greater than these beasts, which had developed some intelligence, they naturally would not linger here any longer.
After the fierce beasts were completely cleared, Fang Yuanyuan immediately threw herself into Chen Yang's arms.
Sobbing, Fang Yuanyuan told Chen Yang the news of her two senior brothers' demise.
Looking at Fang Yuanyuan's tears, Chen Yang did not offer comfort. Instead, he said, "Their remains have been sent back by someone, but their blood feud still needs you to avenge them personally."
Zhou Zeya, who was beside them, quickly reminded Chen Yang, "This little girl is injured. We should send her back first!"
Chen Yang remained silent, letting Fang Yuanyuan make her own choice.
Fang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I know my strength is not great, but if I cannot avenge my two senior brothers, I will not leave!"
Chen Yang nodded with great satisfaction.
The determination in Fang Yuanyuan's eyes proved that she had grown considerably.
Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao slowly recounted what had happened after they were separated.
After being scattered by the fierce beasts, their group had suffered many attacks and considerable losses. However, the two of them had managed to bring Fang Yuanyuan into the ancient battlefield.
"We were not far away when the spatial通道 shattered."
"We saw everything, including that mysterious person's attack."
"We thought we were going to die here, but then a disciple from the Sword Sect said that there were other martial artists in the ancient battlefield whose strength was far greater than ours. If we could gather with them, we might survive."
Chen Yang sighed slowly, "I wonder if the guy who suddenly appeared on the ancient battlefield has discovered the Sword Sect's Grand Elder and the others."
Zhang Dao quickly replied, "Probably not. We heard some sounds of fighting earlier."
"By the way, Big Brother Chen Yang? How did you guys get into this place? Wasn't the spatial通道 already destroyed?"
Zhang Dao was filled with doubts. After the spatial通道 became ruins, no one should dare to touch that power.
Touching the spatial ruins without any precautions could tear even a peak Grandmaster into pieces!
"This is a long story. We've established a new spatial通道, but we don't plan to leave yet. We need to find the Sword Sect's Grand Elder and the others, and then avenge those who died."
"I'll send someone to escort you two out in a moment."
Chen Yang did not want Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao to die inside.
"How can we do that! You can all stay, why should we leave?"
Before Zhang Dao could speak, Wu Bandao became agitated, "Fang Kaiyuan and Fang Xinli are also disciples of the Snow Forest. If this matter isn't resolved, how will we face the Old Ancestor when we return?"
Zhang Dao nodded heavily in agreement, echoing Wu Bandao's sentiment.
In the end, Chen Yang could not persuade the two to leave.
After Zhou Zeya informed the other ancient martial artists about Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao's background, a hint of confusion flashed in everyone's eyes.
"Qin Yi raised these two? Then, between them and Chen Yang, who is his successor?"
Chen Yang, who was nearby, naturally overheard the discussion.
Chen Yang did not say much about the identity of Qin Yi's successor. The few killer moves he currently possessed were learned from Qin Yi, so it was not surprising that he was considered a successor.
However, Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao were different.
They were raised by Senior Qin Yi, and their feelings and the time they spent with him were vastly different from his own.
"In that case, the techniques these two have learned do seem somewhat different."
When Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao made their move, many people had already noticed something unusual.
As they discussed Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao's techniques, everyone moved deeper into the mountain range.
Until they followed the direction indicated by the three and discovered a shattered cave.
The entrance to the cave was already surrounded by numerous fierce beasts, gathered there because of the blood essence emanating from within the cave.
After driving away the fierce beasts, everyone's faces became solemn.
Judging by the blood essence emanating from the cave, the situation seemed much worse than they had imagined.
