Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong looked at each other and asked.
"Have you two heard of the Divine Arm Gate?"
Cheng Yun sighed and said.
"The Divine Arm Gate of Donghuai Road?"
Ding Huaxin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he remembered something.
The Divine Arm Sect is also one of the canonized sects of the Great Wei Dynasty, but it is currently located on Donghuai Road, not too close to the base of the Red Heart Sect.
Although the distance is not close, there are actually old grudges between the two sects. It is said that the Divine Arm Sect and the Red Heart Sect were both based in Heqingdao. Later, Taizu of the Wei Dynasty raised an army, and both sects fought from the dragon and made many meritorious deeds.
, when the Wei dynasty was established, a system of canonized factions was established, and various factions often had disputes over the issue of their residence.
At that time, both the Red Heart Sect and the Divine Arm Sect took a fancy to the mountain gate of Heqingdao, and each used their own methods. However, the Red Heart Sect's Thunder Fire Golden Armor had not been further worn out at that time, and was still strong, overwhelming the Divine Arm Sect. It is said that its sect leader was there.
They were secretly injured in the battle with the leader of the Red Heart Sect at that time, and the entire Divine Arm Sect was forced to leave their hometown and go to Donghuai Road to develop again. Needless to mention the hardships involved, the two sects had a deep grudge.
In the past, because the fiefdom was quite far away and there were few contacts, it was hard to feel anything. However, in this Jianbei Road, the forces of various factions gathered and the industry was entangled. Both factions had disciples training here.
After years of friction, the grudges have never been resolved.
Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong traveled to Jianbei Road a lot, so they naturally knew about some of the battles between the two factions.
"It's the Divine Arm Gate of Donghuai Road."
Cheng Yun nodded.
"Even if my Scarlet Heart Sect is not as strong as it was two hundred years ago, the Divine Arm Sect is not a strong sect. It is no better than me. How can it make you so afraid of Brother Cheng now?"
Qin Yueyong said doubtfully.
"It is true that the Divine Arm Sect is not much stronger than our Scarlet Heart Sect, but our sect experienced the Evil Sacrifice Rebellion not long ago and suffered heavy losses. It is also said that the Divine Arm Sect is within the Xuancheng and has climbed the high branches of the Guiyi Sect. Not long ago
, there is a 'Death Zone' opened near Xuancheng. Elder Rong led people to explore the 'Secret Treasure of Life and Death', but returned injured. The injury has not recovered for a long time. In addition, the incident in Heqing Road was spread, and the sect's power was contained and blocked.
He Qingdao, so the Divine Arm Sect seized this opportunity to launch an attack."
"This is what happened in the past half month. The two of you were still on the road at the time, so it's normal that you didn't know about it. It is said that the situation in Xuancheng is not very good recently."
Cheng Yun shook his head and said.
"Gui Yi Sect?! Elder Rong is actually injured?"
When Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong heard the news, their expressions changed several times.
Guiyi Sect, this name is like thunder in the Jianbei Dao. It is one of the three paths among the Three Paths and Six Unifications. It is said that the name Guiyi means that all laws are unified, and it is the whole world.
One of the strongest schools within the Wei Shen Channel.
Elder Rong is the only elder in the sect who is stationed in Jianbei Road. He is an innate warrior and the backbone of the Chixin sect’s power in Jianbei Road. They need this protection when they go to Xuancheng.
.
"No matter what, we still have to go to Xuancheng as soon as possible."
Ding Huaxin was silent for a moment, and finally said through gritted teeth.
Yuncheng is too close to the border and is not completely safe. In contrast, although Xuancheng has undergone changes, as long as Elder Rong recovers from his injuries, at least he will not be in danger.
As for taking people to leave alone, they have never had such an idea. With their strength, they are not enough to protect these disciples of the sect.
"Now it's not a question of whether you want to go to Xuancheng or not, it's a matter of simply not being able to go."
Cheng Yun showed a wry smile on his face and said: "There is an elder from the Divine Arm Sect in Cloud City now. Once our caravan or disciples leave the city, they may be attacked by the Divine Arm Sect. Now we are going to
The caravan from Xuancheng could not leave Yuncheng at all, and several waves of people turned around and went back. There were many fewer guests in Yanming Pavilion, because recently, as long as the caravan entered Yanming Pavilion, they would
Being targeted by the people from the Divine Arm Sect, I'm afraid you are also being targeted, so I said you came at the wrong time."
"What?!"
When the two of them heard this, their expressions suddenly froze, with a look of shock on their faces.
The elders of the Divine Arm Sect are almost at the same level as the elders of the Red Heart Sect, and only innate warriors can hold the position.
The other party actually sent an elder-level warrior to guard Yuncheng. This was because he wanted to take advantage of the Scarlet Heart Sect being trapped in the whirlpool of Heqing Road to wipe out all the industries in Jianbei Road.
Unexpectedly, not only was there turmoil in Heqing Road, but the operation of the Red Heart Sect in Jianbei Road was also difficult. It was like a leak in the house and it rained all night.
If there was just a problem within Xuancheng, they were still prepared to risk going to Xuancheng to meet with the elders first, but now there are innate warriors from the other side in Cloud City watching, and with their strength, it would be almost impossible to break through.
The expressions on the two people's faces changed suddenly, and they were a little unsure of what to do.
It was impossible to go back. They finally escaped from Heqing Road. If they returned at this time, they would only fall into the hands of Hong Xingxian. But if they went forward, it seemed that they could not move forward for a while.
Along the way, there were too many changes. The chain reaction caused by the Heqingdao incident exceeded their expectations and the expectations of the faction.
"Brother Cheng, do you have any suggestions for the current situation?"
Finally, Ding Huaxin asked, wanting to hear Cheng Yun's arrangements.
"I have written to report this matter to the faction, but I have not received a reply from the faction yet. If the leader can respond, there may be a way to break the situation. During this period, if you cannot go back, then
Let’s repair it in Cloud City first. As long as we don’t leave the city, even the elders of the Divine Arm Sect won’t dare to make mistakes.”
Cheng Yun suggested.
"If you want to send people to break the situation, I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time."
Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong looked at each other, the smiles on their faces were a little bitter.
Given the current situation in Heqing Dao, if the sect had spare strength, how could they bring these outstanding disciples to Jianbei Dao.
"Then we can only wait. Elder Rong may take action."
Cheng Yun said helplessly.
"Let's discuss it some more."
Ding Huaxin shook his head and said.
Afterwards, the three of them continued to drink, but at this time, the good wine and meat seemed to have become dull, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. After chatting for a while, they learned more about the situation in Yuncheng, and then they ended it hastily and dispersed.
.
After the banquet ended, Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong returned to the room and sat opposite each other.
"Brother Ding, what should we do about the current situation?"
Qin Yueyong sighed and shook his head and asked.
"I don't know either. I didn't expect that Jianbei Road would be in such a situation. It's really a dilemma now."
"In my opinion, there is actually no good way. We can only stay in Yuncheng for the time being and wait for the changes. Innate warriors are not something you and I can compete with."
"But as long as I can't wait to get out of the city, it's not actually dangerous. Even if Hong Xingxian's spies are targeting us, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take action inside the city."
Ding Huaxin said helplessly.
"Actually, it seems that we don't have a way to deal with it. Have you forgotten the master's arrangement?"
Qin Yueyong said in a deep voice.
"You mean to ask that mysterious expert to help?"
Ding Huaxin instantly understood the intention of Qin Yueyong's words.
"Yes, if it's that person, it might not be difficult to help me break the situation."
Qin Yueyong nodded and said.
"Hey, this is not feasible. Let's not talk about whether that person is willing to take action. Even if he is willing to take action, we can't contact him. If he leaves the city directly, it will be a big gamble. If the other party is hindered by the innate warriors of the Divine Arm Sect,
If you are unwilling to help us, we will be doomed."
"And, judging from the performance of the previous one, this probability is not low."
Ding Huaxin shook his head and said.
"That's right, I just don't know how to get in touch with the other party. Maybe waiting for a while is really useful. Let Brother Cheng send another flying book to the faction. If the leader can come forward to reply, I don't know who will break the situation.
The essential."
Qin Yueyong said.
"That's all we can do. Starting from tomorrow, let the disciples repair themselves well, stay out of Yanming Pavilion less, and wait and see what happens."
Ding Huaxin said.
"Do you want to explain the reason to all the disciples?"
Qin Yueyong asked.
"Don't use it for the time being, so as not to cause panic. Let's observe it for a few days and then talk about it."
Ding Huaxin shook his head.
At the same time, on the other side.
In a luxurious mansion somewhere in Yuncheng.
A middle-aged man sat cross-legged in the center of the room. The room was dimly lit by candles, and four incense burners were burning in the four corners. The smoke from the incense burners dispersed, and a hazy jade light actually appeared in the dark room, which made
People feel as if they are in a dream.
The middle-aged man is wearing a crimson robe, with a pair of arms exposed. The marks are constantly changing. The jade-colored smoke around him is absorbed by the pores of his body and transformed into some kind of power.
The most eye-catching thing is his hands. There are golden lines lingering on the hands. The fingers are slender and slender. The arms are not strong, but appear very round and harmonious. The skin is like transparent jade, creating an almost perfect feeling.
These arms seemed to be otherworldly things. When placed on the body of a middle-aged man, they looked a little strange.
An hour later, the jade incense in the incense burner went out, and the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes. The jade and golden lines on his arms slowly dimmed. They were no longer as flawless as before, but they were also filled with a feeling that did not belong to them.
The beauty of mundane life.
He stood up, walked out of the room, and came to the lobby, where someone was waiting for him.
"Elder, today another caravan has moved into the Yanming Pavilion of the Red Heart Sect."
The person reporting the report was a young and strong man, with a respectful look on his face.
"Oh? Did you check it out?"
The middle-aged man sat down slowly, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and asked with a calm expression.
"The identity of this group of people seems not to be simple. It is different from ordinary caravans. I am afraid that they are all direct disciples of the Red Heart Sect. There were some rumors in Heqing Road before, saying that the five sects of Heqing seemed to have secretly sent some disciples here.
Jianbei Road is hiding from the storm, and the disciples suspect that these people are one of them."
The young strong man said in a deep voice.
"A disciple of the Red Heart Sect?"
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Keep an eye on them and don't let them leave Yuncheng. Once they want to leave, I will take action myself."
"We have been fighting openly and secretly with the Red Heart Sect for so many years, and now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Red Heart Sect has suffered many changes, and there is a genius who secretly helps the Red Heart Sect. Just when it is over, the leader has already spoken, and he wants to send the Red Heart Sect to Jianbei.
All the industries in the Tao will be swept away and brought under our control, and there will be no room for loss."
"You all should work seriously and don't make any mistakes."
The middle-aged man said calmly.
"Yes, disciple understands."
The young strong man bowed his hands and slowly retreated.
Inside Yanming Pavilion.
"The number of people watching this place seems to have increased again."
In the middle of the night, Zhao Xuanqi finished his period of practice, opened the window a crack, looked at several buildings around Yanming Pavilion, and found some suspicious characters, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"what is going on?"
Zhao Xuanqi was confused and closed the window quietly, preparing to inquire tomorrow.
The next day, Ding Huaxin informed everyone early in the morning that the situation had changed and that they would be repaired in Yuncheng for a period of time, so that everyone should not leave Yanming Pavilion at will. This was the case for the next five days.
At this time, everyone began to talk secretly, not knowing what happened.
Various speculations emerged, but Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong just asked them not to leave without permission and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Xuanqi went to He Xijun to inquire, but the other party did not know the specific information. He only guessed that it might be Hong Xingxian's spies scattered in the city.
"Yuncheng is not the end of our trip. We haven't continued our journey for so many days. It seems something has really happened."
"If that's the case, then I'll ask you personally."
Zhao Xuanqi thought in his heart. After all, he promised Zhu Hong to take care of the team. The other party showed the secret information in the door without hiding anything. He couldn't just sit back and ignore what happened. He would help the Red Heart Sect within the scope of his ability.
He is still happy to do something.
Of course, to ask in person, it would be impossible to use his status as an insignificant new disciple.
night.
Ding Huaxin and Qin Yueyong were in the room.
"Brother Ding, there hasn't been any news from the faction for five days. Even if the journey is far away, it shouldn't take so long to send messages by flying letters."
"All the disciples have begun to speculate. I think the matter cannot be concealed."
Qin Yueyong said in a deep voice.
"Well, now that the situation is like this, we really can't hide it. I will tell them in person tomorrow. I'm afraid we will have to stay in this Cloud City for a long time."
Ding Huaxin sighed.
"It's a good thing if we can stay here safely. I heard from Brother Cheng that the people at the Divine Arm Sect in the city seem to be a little bit ready to make moves recently. You and I should make more preparations."
Qin Yueyong shook his head. Ding Huaxin heard this, took a sip of wine and nodded.
"Huh? Brother Ding, why are there so many insects and ants in your house?"
Suddenly, Ding Huaxin heard Qin Yueyong's slightly surprised voice and immediately looked in the direction of his gaze.
I don't know when, but ants, reptiles, etc. crawled out of the floor of the room, gathering together to form a long queue.
"This is?"
Ding Huaxin was also a little confused.
However, the next moment, the expressions of the two people suddenly changed.
Because they discovered that the insects and ants that appeared actually lined up in a regular manner and gathered in the center of the room.
"Something's wrong!
"
The two men's expressions condensed, and they immediately stood up, extremely alert, their bodies tensed, ready to mobilize Yuan Qi to take action at any time.
However, those gathered insects and ants did not produce any abnormal attacks, they just gathered into four characters on the ground.
