Four horses shuttled through the mountains and forests, and Qin Feng once again put on the mask of pain.
Yang He, who was at the front of the team, seemed to be deliberately slowing down. The sky was getting dark, but they didn't even finish half the distance.
Because he discovered the abnormality between the two of them, Qin Feng secretly observed each other along the way. Yang He was very careful in his route. He was always mobilizing the Yin Qi around him and sensing the movements around him.
Zhang Tiannan, who is at the back of the team, has the golden energy in his body that is always flowing into his whole body, and his muscles are tense. Whenever Yang He makes a move, his reaction is also the fastest.
These two people were obviously wary of something.
The five people came to the depths of the mountain forest, surrounded by darkness and towering trees.
Yang He tightened the reins of the horse again, and the Qianliju slowly stopped. He said: "Everyone, it's getting late. We might as well take a break and eat something during this time."
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. There is a rule for walking in the mountains and forests. After dark, if you want to stop for a long rest, you cannot eat.
Because the light of the campfire and the aroma of the food will attract those mountain spirits and wild monsters, if you stay for too long, you can easily fall into a dangerous situation.
Yang He got off his horse and looked around. He took out four white flags from somewhere and inserted them in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and then walked to the middle of the formation flag. He turned his right hand into a palm and slammed it to the ground.
.
With him as the center, the bright green light connected to the white flags on all sides, and a formation formed instantly.
This is the Six-Rank Hundred Ghosts Four-Way Spirit Sealing Array, which can guard against ghosts and ghosts, and can also block the perception of most mountain spirits and wild monsters.
Qin Feng looked ugly, and the other party didn't even act. Is this going to be a showdown?
"Master Shi, I have been hiding something before, and I hope you can forgive me." Yang He clasped his fists and said respectfully.
Shi Ziming was unmoved: "A sixth-grade peak hundred ghost Taoist, a sixth-grade peak divine warrior, disguised as a wood order to slay demons, escaped when Qiyuan City needed you most, when the people needed you most.
Arrive at Jinyang City.
Are you worthy of staying in the Demon Slayer Division?"
There was an unknown anger underneath his calm tone. Qin Feng knew that Lord Sizheng, who was usually not serious, was really angry.
Cang Feilan suddenly came behind Qin Feng, fully alert.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air was as thick as a quagmire.
Qin Feng's palms were covered in cold sweat. He did not look at Yang He, because as long as he stood next to Shi Ziming, Baigui's moves could not hurt him.
But he must be careful about Zhang Tiannan, a sixth-level warrior at the peak of concentration. With such a few steps away, the opponent can smash his head in the blink of an eye, just like he did with the forest python before.
The four horses may have felt the oppressive atmosphere, and they stamped their hooves restlessly.
Zhang Tiannan still didn't speak, he just held the horse's reins and stroked the horse's mane.
At this moment, Yang He sighed and broke the silence: "You don't have to be like this. Brother Zhang and I have absolutely no ill intentions. We rushed to Jinyang City not because we wanted to be deserters, but because we had important missions."
Shi Ziming sneered: "If you are still using the previous incident as an excuse, there is no need to say more."
The previous matter was naturally referring to the Heart-Eating Gu scourge. If Yang He and his two men really only had the strength of one star of Mu Ling, there would be nothing wrong with them being sent to carry out such a mission.
But these two masters at the top of the sixth rank, in an ordinary small town, could even become Sizheng's existence, which is a rare combat power.
Knowing that a war was coming, unless the senior officials of Qi Yuancheng were clever, they would never send them to leave to carry out such a low-priority task.
You know, the most important thing is to defend Qi Yuan City in that situation!
"The matter of the heart-eating Gu is naturally just incidental. Our real mission is to keep something safe and return it safely after the chaos on the armor subsides."
"What could be more important than the survival of Qi Yuancheng?" Qin Feng blurted out subconsciously.
When Yang He heard this, he struggled for a moment. It wasn't until Zhang Tiannan nodded to him that he said one word: "Suppressing the Dragon Monument."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Feng and the three of them all raised their heads and looked at each other.
"But in the morning, you guys clearly said that the Dragon-Suppressing Monument had been taken away by the enemy. Could it be..." Qin Feng seemed to have guessed something.
"The Dragon Suppressing Monument left in the city is fake." The secret that had been hidden in his heart was revealed, and Yang He looked much more relaxed.
As expected, Qin Feng took a breath of cold air.
He was able to guess in advance that the enemy's target was the Dragon Suppressing Monument, and then the civet cat replaced the prince.
Could it be that the Heavenly Supervisor had calculated this?
This is so awesome. Will I be able to be this awesome in the future? Qin Feng thought as he stroked his chin.
With such a mission, it also explains why the two of Yang He pretended to be the Mu Ling Demon Slayer.
After all, it would be too suspicious if two Lords of the Qingyu Order left Qiyuan City before the war started. If the enemy found out, they would definitely pursue and intercept them.
But Qin Feng still has a doubt, what is the use of the Dragon Suppressing Monument? Why does the enemy want to rob it, and why does Qi Yuancheng have to fight to the death to protect it?
In the book records, there is only a few words about the Dragon-Suppressing Monument - a treasure that suppresses a party's luck.
Luck, on the other hand, is an elusive thing that cannot be seen or touched. To be so attached to it is, to be honest, a bit puzzling.
Besides, luck belongs to the land, so what's the use of just taking away the Dragon-Suppressing Monument?
Qin Feng frowned. The more he thought, the more he didn't understand.
"Why come to Jinyang City? Wouldn't it be safer to go to other heavenly cities?" Shi Ziming asked aloud, and there was no anger in his tone.
Qin Feng turned his head and looked around. Shi Zi clearly knew the importance of the Dragon Suppressing Monument, otherwise his attitude would not have changed so quickly.
Yang He did not hide anything: "The closest Tiancheng to Qiyuan City, even if you work hard, it will take a day to get there. And the longer the delay on the road, the higher the possibility of an accident. We don't dare to gamble."
"It's reasonable, but not enough." Shi Ziming didn't fully believe it.
"The idea of imploring Lord Shi to use the treasure gourd to eliminate the heart-eating Gu in the Qiyuan River is true, but this is just a way.
The most important thing is that when Master Gunxian came to Qiyuan City, he handed Master Sizheng a tips bag, which contained only one sentence - take the Dragon Suppressing Monument to Jinyang City."
Shi Ziming closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. The Lord Sizheng mentioned by Yang Hekou was naturally not Shi Ziming, but Sizheng of Qi Yuancheng.
As for the tip bag, it was most likely the work of the Imperial Master Tianjian, but why did he have to go to Jinyang City? Could it be that something unexpected would happen if he went to other places?
By the way, how far can the divination ability of a high-ranking literary saint reach?
