Yuling City, in a certain mansion.

"What?! They're all dead?!"

The short man in black received the information sent back from his subordinates, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

A whole four-man team of induction warriors, even in the entire Heqingdao, there were not many that could threaten their existence. Even if they were defeated by their opponents, they would most likely be able to successfully evacuate, but now the whole army was actually wiped out.

"Yes, sir, according to the information sent back by the search team, all four people have their heads missing, and there are stumps and broken arms all over the ground. And judging from the surrounding environment, there are no signs of extensive destruction. That is to say

The fighting between the two sides may not have been fierce at that time, and the four people were most likely killed in a short period of time without much resistance. It was a one-sided battle."

"Furthermore, judging from the injuries on the corpse, it doesn't look like the methods of any faction in Heqingdao. The traces of Yuan Qi left at the scene have a cold and mysterious feeling. It is preliminarily inferred that the strength of the person who did it is at least innate."

The subordinate said in a deep voice that not long ago, he went to check the body in person, and his face didn't look very good at this time.

"Innate martial artist, unknown master? Could it be that the target we are targeting is not someone from the Five Sects of Heqing?"

The short man in black narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. In fact, my subordinates also have a guess. Is it possible that this group of people is related to the remnants of the previous evil priests?"

The subordinate said.

"Whether they are members of the Five Heqing Sects or the remnants of the evil priests, we must not let them get away easily. We must contact our superiors immediately to pass on this information. On the other hand, we will send out manpower to conduct a wider search."

The short man in black said in a deep voice.

"Sir, we found it too late. It has been nearly three hours since the incident. I'm afraid..."

The subordinate reminded.

"No matter what the result is, we have to do what needs to be done. Okay, let's do it."

The short man in black waved his hand.

"yes."

When the subordinates saw this, they said no more and immediately bowed and retreated.

On the other side, the news quickly reached Hong Xingxian's ears.

"A mysterious innate warrior?"

Upon hearing the news, Hong Xingxian looked thoughtful and read the intelligence file carefully.

In addition to the secret methods of the five sects or the remnants of the evil priests, he also had a guess in his mind.

That was one of the mysterious people who suddenly appeared on the night of the Nanfu Rebellion.

According to the information he had, that person was able to use the Rakshasa Sect's Youfu Brake Fire, and its power characteristics were consistent with the traces found at the scene to a certain extent.

"Deploy additional manpower and conduct an all-out search with Yuling City as the center."

Hong Xingxian ordered.

As a result, the search intensity at various checkpoints within Heqing Road was raised to a higher level.

Fortunately, Ding Hua

Leave Heqing Road, enter the adjacent Beiyun Road, and continue along the main road.

This was also a helpless move. Not only was the distance long, but the identity was temporarily lost, making it difficult to safely enter the city. Supply was also a problem. Along the way, we had to sleep in the open air and hunt wild animals. The journey was very difficult.

At night, Lianheng Mountains.

There was a faint light from a campfire in a flash, and inside the cave, hares and pheasants were roasted on the fire, making a sizzling sound.

The group of people looked a little embarrassed at this time. There were stains on their clothes. There was no road in the mountains. In order to cover their tracks, they did not go through the thorns in a big way. Even if they were all powerful warriors, they would inevitably bump into things on the road.

leaving some traces on it.

"Deacon Ding, what happened today?"

Everyone looked at Ding Huaxin. They had been in a hurry before, and now they had time to ask carefully.

They were still a little confused at this time and didn't know what happened.

Ding Huaxin pondered for a while. At this time, he could no longer hide some things from his disciples.

"Today, there was a sudden smell of blood not far away. I went to check and found the bodies of four sensing warriors, as well as a piece of cloth with blood written on it..."

Ding Huaxin slowly explained what happened today, and at the same time, he also revealed that the master secretly arranged for the master to protect him, which aroused everyone's surprise.

"The imperial court actually knows our whereabouts? No wonder Director Ding wants us to leave immediately, but how do they know such confidential information? There are also spies of the other party in our faction?"

"Four sensing warriors sneaked into us at such a close distance without being noticed. It's really dangerous."

"Isn't the most terrifying thing about killing four telepathic warriors at such a close distance, but we didn't notice at all? The master entrusted by the master is at least in the innate realm, right?"

"Such methods may not be ordinary innates. Apart from the five sects of Heqing Dao, there are only a handful of innate warriors who do not belong to the imperial court. I have never heard of such a person."

"However, there are such experts secretly protecting us. It seems that even if there is danger in our trip, we will be able to turn danger into danger in the end."

"..."

Everyone was talking a lot.

"alright."

Ding Hua

It means that we don’t want to be involved in this incident. If it is an ordinary crisis, that person may not mind helping us, but if it is too serious a danger, I am afraid that person will not help us, so don’t slack off.

Try to be cautious on the road so as not to trouble the other party and try not to let the other party take action."

After hearing this, everyone thought about it and nodded slightly in agreement.

This time there are four sensors, and they are within the opponent's range, but what if it is an innate warrior who targets them next time?

It's hard to say whether the other party is willing to take the risk and come forward.

"Tell me, where is this person at this time? In the wilderness, sleeping in the open air."

He Xijun was chewing on the roasted chicken leg in his hand while chatting with Zhao Xuanqi beside him.

Am I not right in front of you?

Zhao Xuanqi gnawed on a chicken wing, feeling a little helpless.

"Junior sister is joking. For such masters, Yuan Qi protects the body, is difficult to invade by all evils, communicates with heaven and earth, and will not die if they eat Qi. It doesn't make any difference to them where they are."

Wen Changan on the side laughed and said.

"That's right, it's us who have suffered a lot along the way."

He Xijun said helplessly that if he wanted to leave Heqing Road, he would have to walk a week of mountain roads and be a "savage" for a week.

All the checkpoints in Heqing Road were under strict investigation, but Zhao Xuanqi and others escaped in time and were cautious along the way. They did not enter any city again. Therefore, although the journey was a little more difficult, they also avoided the search of Hong Xingxian's spies and did not enter any more cities.

What dangers are encountered.

The journey took longer than expected. After a full nine days, with the physical strength and footwork of the group, they crossed the border of Heqing Road and entered the adjacent Beiyun Road.

When he was in Nanfu before, he had witnessed the methods of the disciples of Beiyundao Shenbing Tomb, which left a deep impression on Zhao Xuanqi.

After entering Beiyundao, Ding Huaxin did not relax. He did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he continued to move between villages and towns. After walking for another day, he took out one of the many "Guan Ultimatums" prepared in advance.

He led everyone into a city called Mingxian City and stayed at an inn.

"I feel so weak after not sleeping for a long time."

He Xijun sighed, said hello to Zhao Xuanqi, and went back to the room to sleep without even eating dinner.

After a hard journey, all the disciples were tired and returned to their rooms to rest.

"This trip seems to be a waste of time."

After Zhao Xuanqi returned to the room, he sighed slightly. For more than ten days, following the team, he could not find the opportunity to practice alone. His cultivation was almost at a standstill. For a being like him who is addicted to practice, he could not

Cultivation is the real suffering.

What others were intoxicated with was wine, sex, and wealth, but what he was intoxicated with was hard work that others feared.

Once you have experienced the feeling of constantly improving yourself during practice, you will know clearly what the true great happiness in life is. However, it is a pity that many people are addicted to the mundane world and forget their true nature.

After making sure that there were no prying eyes around him, he used the Xuanqi Wusheng Yin Talisman to cast a simple spell to isolate the breath. He did not take much rest and directly entered the cultivation state.

The hardships of the journey were nothing compared to the hardships he encountered along the way.

It seems that they also knew that the disciples were very tired from traveling for days. Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong let them repair for a whole day, but they were not idle. They took advantage of this time to learn some information, inquired about He Qingdao, and learned that

The situation there was very tense, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary businessmen and ordinary people to get out of the border. After that, he breathed a sigh of relief and was somewhat thankful for his decision.

The next day, Ding Huaxin began to take Zhao Xuanqi and others to purchase goods in the city. For the rest of the journey, they could no longer sleep in the open air. They had to continue pretending to be a caravan and exit the customs from Beiyundao to Jianbei Road.

Two days later, everyone set off again. This time the route seemed much calmer. Although Hong Xingxian was strong, he could not blatantly reach out to Beiyundao. Although there were spies operating in Beiyundao, it was relatively unknown.

Compared with the vastness of Beiyundao, this number of people is nothing.

However, the detour from Beiyun Road is indeed a long journey. When we set out from the Red Heart Sect, it was originally expected to take ten days or half a month to reach Beiyun Road, but now it took a whole month.

Finally, we finally arrived at the border of Jianbei Road without any danger.

Cloud City.
