The number of warriors gathered exceeded a thousand, which had a certain impact on the security of the entire Pingcheng.
"There are more and more masters."
Wu Shengping sighed: "I know more than ten Tiger List masters alone."
Tiger list masters are rarely seen in ordinary times, but now they are flocking to Pingcheng small town like crazy. This is really a special phenomenon.
Cao Su held a booklet in his hand, which was the Dragon and Tiger Ranking released by Longhu Pavilion in the last issue.
The book in my hand is the Tiger List, which records three hundred power realm masters.
Among them, the first two hundred were all masters at the top level of the strength realm. After the two hundred, some masters at the middle level of the strength realm appeared.
It is a great thing in itself to be on the Tiger List in the middle level of Strength Realm.
Even if it's just a flash in the pan.
Cao Su closed the book and asked: "Among your Lingzhou Prefecture warriors, do you have any masters?"
"Of course, our Lingzhou warriors also have two to three hundred warriors coming this time. The strongest among them is Wei Sheng, who is ranked 161st on the Tiger List. This person is the deputy leader of the Lingzhou Bailu Sect.
Men, masters of high-level strength realm, lead the team here."
When traveling in the world, you must always know yourself and the enemy.
With Wu Shengping, an old man in the world, Cao Su's understanding of the world became more three-dimensional.
........
At some point, a rumor spread among the people.
"Have you heard that someone saw the Fire Lin Beast in Xiaoyun Mountain?"
"What's your version? What I heard is that someone has spied on the Lingbao in Xiaoyun Mountain?"
"Isn't this nonsense? By the way, how to get to Xiaoyun Mountain?"
Xiaoyun Mountain, Fire Lin Beast Traces, Lingbao.
The combination of fragmented rumors directly ignited the enthusiasm of warriors in the world.
A large number of warriors began to set off from Pingcheng and moved to Xiaoyun Mountain.
At the foot of Xiaoyun Mountain, various tents were set up, and a variety of torches lit up half of the night sky.
To explore Xiaoyun Mountain, you have to wait until daytime.
At night, the warriors rested at the foot of the mountain.
Of course, there are also some very good people who stay up late at night and go hunting for treasures in the mountains.
Some people went to Xiaoyun Mountain, and some people were still in Pingcheng.
The patrol pressure in Pingcheng is much lighter.
On the third day after the rumors broke out, Cao Su and others went to Xiaoyun Mountain.
"If we can seize the spiritual treasure, it will also add a layer of heritage to our Pingcheng army."
Since there is a spiritual treasure and it is on the border of Pingcheng, there is no reason for the government army not to participate in it as a local snake.
Wei Tao sent his first army, Wang Meng's.
Wang Meng took Cao Su and others to Xiaoyun Mountain.
"Since we are involved in Jianghu affairs this time, it is not appropriate to have too many people."
Wang Meng ordered ten strength realms and a hundred qi and blood people, a total of more than one hundred people, and they marched to the foot of Xiaoyun Mountain in a mighty manner.
Compared with the government army, which often sends out thousands of troops, this number of people is really not that many.
But among Jianghu sects, it can definitely be regarded as a massive move with great momentum.
Wang Meng has a reputation in the world. After arriving at Xiaoyun Mountain, several heads of sects came to pay homage to him.
Most of these sect leaders are at the middle level of the Strength Realm, at the same level as Wang Meng, and can be regarded as big bosses in various places.
"General Wang, how is the war on the Western Front?"
Jianghu warriors are also aware of national affairs. Now, the entire Jiangdong Dao martial arts community is divided into two factions.
One faction is under the rule of Wanpingjun, and the other is under the orthodoxy of the imperial court.
Pingcheng is a place of great turmoil. Previously, the partial division of Wanping Army was annihilated, which shocked Jiangdong Road.
And with Wei Tao taking over as the commander of the rebellion, special generals like Wang Meng will surely be in trouble in the future.
"You are from the Western Front. I should ask you about the war on the Western Front."
The person who spoke to Wang Meng was a sect from Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is a large state, and there are many sects in Yuzhou Prefecture. Most of the Yuzhou sects who came to Pingcheng this time are small sects on the border of Yuzhou.
However, even if it is a small sect, it is a good sect in Jiangdong Road.
"Before we set out to Jiangning Mansion, we saw that Wanping Army had surrounded Lushan."
"There are not many defenders in Lushan, but their style is very tenacious. It seems that the Wanping Army cannot break through Lushan's blockade for a while."
"I heard that the imperial court has dispatched a large army within the pass and will arrive at the Lushan border in the near future."
"In the future, the Wanping Army and the imperial court will have to do another thing in Lushan."
These sect warriors just said something to each other, and they quickly revealed all kinds of news.
A picture of the imperial army and the Wanping army fighting in Lushan came to mind.
Wang Meng frowned and said: "It shouldn't be so soon. The vanguard may fight first, but it will take some time before the main force of the imperial army reaches Lushan."
Wei Tao also said before that it would take some time for the imperial court to mobilize a large army to attack the rebels.
"Lushan is a sacred mountain in the hearts of famous Confucians in the world. If the imperial court governs the country with Confucianism, it must not sit back and watch Lushan be tortured by the Wanping Army."
A group of warriors don't read much, but that doesn't stop everyone from paying attention to the scholars.
Sometimes, it is also a martial artist's pleasure to see scholars anxious.
"Who says it's not the case? In the past few days, I heard that many Confucian students even rushed to the front of the Wanping Army to stop the advance of the army with their flesh and blood."
"Hey, I don't have enough food to eat, so only scholars still care about holy and unholy places."
"At first, the Wanping Army treated each other with courtesy. After all, you can't kill the goose to lay the eggs. But now, the Wanping Army is also annoyed. It is said that the commander of the Wanping Army, General Jingu, directly ordered the scholars to be driven away and ignored them."
"What kind of chicken, what kind of eggs?"
"You're killing the goose that lays the egg. You really haven't read a book, have you?"
Several sect bosses surrounded Wang Meng and others and entered a large area where warriors were stationed.
The entire foot of Xiaoyun Mountain has become a camp for warriors.
Several waves of people have entered the mountain to explore.
Xiaoyun Mountain is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, so the exploration progress is not fast.
"Have you discovered anything in the past few days?"
Wang Meng no longer wanted to talk about military affairs with these warriors. He just wanted to know the situation in Xiaoyun Mountain.
Xiaoyunshan's information is not a secret, many people know it.
The head of the Yuzhou Sect said: "Today evening, someone saw a burned tree in the valley. It is probably that the Fire Lin Beast has been there and accidentally set the tree on fire."
"Fortunately, the boundary of Xiaoyun Mountain is relatively humid and has not caused large-scale water leakage."
The Fire Lin Beast likes yang and hates yin. The scales on its body are as hard as iron and adhere to high temperatures. It is a rare treasure for armor refining.
The timing and location of this fire lin beast's appearance are very special. Warriors in the martial arts world still have not figured out why the fire lin beast appeared in Pingcheng.
"As the whereabouts of the Fire Lin Beast appear, it seems that we are getting closer and closer to finding the spiritual treasure. The number of warriors entering the mountain in the past few days is increasing day by day."
"We decided to go into the mountains together early tomorrow morning to hunt for animals and treasures."
Several leaders in Yuzhou informed Wang Meng of their plan to enter the mountain.
Treasure hunting has always been accompanied by bloodshed.
Nowadays, the Pingcheng Prefecture's army is powerful and a local leader. Making good friends with the Pingcheng Prefecture's army will bring them a hundred benefits and no harm.
"I wonder when General Wang will lead the team to search the mountain?"
The word "Soushan" was used well, and Wang Meng was quite satisfied with it.
Wang Meng stroked his beard and said: "At noon tomorrow at the latest, our army will definitely send some people into the mountain. The leaders should be concerned about it then."
"Where is it? I hope the general will take good care of it!"
After a while of greetings, the atmosphere became extremely friendly.
.........
Early morning of the second day.
A vast mist enveloped Xiaoyun Mountain.
Among the more than a thousand warriors at the foot of the mountain, half of them went into the mountain to search.
Wang Meng was able to keep his composure and never gave an order.
It was noon before he gave the order for Cao Su to lead the team into the mountain.
Cao Su took away four force realm centurions and fifty Qi-blood warriors, which was half of the troops deployed this time.
I had been to Xiaoyun Mountain before when I ambushed the Wanping Army Food Road.
But in Xiaoyun Mountain at that time, the clouds and fog seemed not as dense as they are now.
Caosu is a mountain that goes up from the east.
There is a peak in Xiaoyun Mountain, and a naturally formed valley at the bottom due south.
There are no special products or wild animals on the mountain.
So in the past, no one lived in the mountains.
The mountain road is more rugged.
However, the warriors entering the mountain this time are at least Qi and blood warriors, and their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. Traveling through this small mountain road is not a big problem.
"Captain Cao, the mountain fog is getting thicker."
Luo Yi followed Cao Su out to search the mountains. He said seriously: "General Wang has an order. If the mountain fog is too thick in the afternoon, there is no need to explore too deeply to avoid danger."
"Then let's take a look at it from the outside first."
Cao Su followed his good example, and with a wave of his hand, he sent his men to search the mountain in the Dongshan area.
Of course, there was no need for him to do things like searching the mountain himself.
He carefully observed the vegetation on the mountain and found that Xiaoyun Mountain was also mostly coniferous forests.
Where will the Fire Lin Beast be?
He recalled the scene when he saw the Fire Lin Beast for the first time. A huge monster rampaged through the city, smashing into many houses and setting off violent fires wherever it went.
If the fire-scaled beast was attracted by Zhao Xin Sect's Ju Yang Array, then the Ju Yang Array was equivalent to a signal station.
The fire scale beast received the signal from this magic circle and appeared in the city.
If all these assumptions are true, it can be explained that the fire-scaled beast came independently.
A foreign fire-scaled beast suddenly appears in the city, so does it have special abilities such as space movement?
I have never heard of a fire-scaled beast having such an ability, or is there a passage near Linxianshan that can directly move it?
"Or is it just as everyone guessed at the beginning, the Linxianshan magic circle is already suppressing this fire-scaled beast?"
Cao Su has also been thinking about this vision. In fact, the most important thing is the golden light.
What is that golden light, and why does it break the Zhaoxin Sect's Sun-Gathering Array?
Is there any connection between Jinguang and Xiaoyunshan?
