Things went against expectations. Ye Xiaochuan didn't want to get involved, so he came to the door himself.
Senior Brother divided the team into two parts. The first part is the so-called vanguard force, which consists of nine people including Ye Xiaochuan, Yang Shijiu, Zhao Wuji, Baili Yuan, Yamashita Zhishu, Ouyang Caiyu, Chang Xiaoman, etc.
Formed, Ye Xiaochuan took a look and saw that there were only three disciples from the Cangyun Sect, and the other six were all expatriate disciples. All the expatriate disciples in the team were gathered into the forward camp.
The vanguard battalion had no other job, but to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, rush to the deserted city that had been abandoned for many years in the desert that was not even marked on the map within seven days, and record the sects of the demon sect disciples they met along the way.
, number of people, etc.
As for what the large army will do later and what tasks it has, Gu Jianchi did not say.
Ye Xiaochuan didn't want to be a pioneer, he wanted to follow the masters like Gu Jianchi and Yun Qiyou honestly, but Gu Jianchi refused to agree to anything, saying that this was already planned and could not be changed.
This is a bit unreasonable, and Ye Xiaochuan's heart feels cold. Fishing requires bait, and Ye Xiaochuan feels that he is the bait now.
Seeing that the matter must be violated, Ye Xiaochuan could only do the next best thing and wanted to win the leadership position of captain of the forward battalion.
As a result, he was rejected by his senior brother again. The captain was Zhao Wuji, Bailiyuan took the position of deputy captain, and Ye Xiaochuan got nothing.
Bailiyuan laughed proudly, patted the crying Ye Xiaochuan, and said: "You must listen to me from now on, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The nine members of the vanguard battalion set off first, flying at low altitude almost close to the hills in the night. This place is very close to Kunlun Mountain, and the power of the Demon Sect is not here. The reason why everyone flies so low is to avoid the formation of the magic weapon's glorious light.
The tail flame was discovered by Xuantian Sect disciples stationed dozens of miles away.
After flying at low altitude for more than an hour and having flown at least two hundred miles, captain Zhao Wuji ordered to increase altitude and gallop towards the far west.
Three days later, in the desert.
There are many city-states in the Western Region. Along the Peacock River, you can always see cities with earthen walls. This place actually does not lack vitality, and desertification is not too serious. The main force of the Demonic Cult is entrenched here.
The situation is different further west. In the desert, where even Populus euphratica and Haloxylon ammodendron do not grow, it is a forbidden land for humans, a place abandoned by the gods. There is no water, no life, not even the extremely tenacious gerbils.
Scorpions, lizards, and cobras are not to be found.
The golden sand sea is boundless, and the occasional blowing sand dust is thrown into the sky, making it a desolate place.
In the sand valley, hundreds of demon sect disciples dressed in black are cooking and enjoying the cool air. Looking at the flags and costumes, they are disciples of the Five Poison Sect of the demon sect. The leader of the demon sect, Wan Duzi, is also among them. The direction they are headed is exactly the same.
Direction of the temple.
On a sand dune not far away, a pair of eyes slowly opened from under the sand, and their dripping eyeballs kept turning.
"The Demon Cult hasn't noticed anything yet. The team of several hundred people doesn't even have a sentry. It's really a mess!"
Ye Xiaochuan muttered a few times and counted the number of disciples and masters of the Five Poison Sect in front of him. As a result, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect were walking around in the sand valley. He counted them several times before he could get a rough idea.
There are quite a few acquaintances. In addition to Wanduzi, Ye Xiaochuan also saw Qinghui, Qingyan and other outstanding figures of the younger generation of the Five Poison Sects, as well as a dozen elders and masters of the Lingji Realm, all of whom seemed to have been in the ten years.
I saw it before on Duantian Cliff.
Ye Xiaochuan was secretly surprised. The Five Poison Sect was not one of the five major factions of the Demon Sect. To participate in a temple conference, so many masters were dispatched. It was really powerful.
His body was completely buried under the sand, and he did not dare to move, for fear that the masters of the Five Poison Sect would discover his traces.
These people rested for less than two hours. At dusk, taking advantage of the cooler weather, they continued on their way, flying towards the northwest.
When they all flew out of sight, Ye Xiaochuan crawled out of the sand, shook his body violently, shook off the sand, then took out the wine gourd and poured it into his chapped lips. Then, he
Fly towards the southeast.
After flying less than fifty miles, we arrived at a small sandy valley and saw Baili Yuan and others cooking food under a gauze tent.
Seeing Ye Xiaochuan coming back, Bailiyuan asked: "How was the reconnaissance?"
Ye Xiaochuan said angrily: "First officer, can you please stop sending me on such dangerous missions in the future? I was almost discovered by those guys from the Five Poison Sect."
Yang Jiu immediately said: "Then I will go next time!"
Bailiyuan knocked her on the head and said: "Why are you so active? If you are asked to go, the reconnaissance has turned into a group fight. Your senior brother is the best suited to do this. He is most afraid of death. People who are afraid of death are always afraid of death."
We are trying our best to survive, and we will never attack others easily. This place is already deep into the desert, and further west is the bottom of the Jinsha Valley. The people of the Demon Cult never thought that we would not find us if we went deep here."
Ye Xiaochuan threw the number of people in the Five Poison Sect he had recorded to Zhao Wuji, and prepared to find a place to have a good rest. In the past three days, he had detected more than a dozen demon sect forces, large and small, heading towards the Savage Temple.
As we got closer, there were dozens of disciples from the small group of demon sects. The group of people from the Five Poison Sect we encountered today was the largest, totaling six to seven hundred people.
Zhao Wuji read the numbers on the note that Ye Xiaochuan threw over, took out a paper crane from his arms, used a cinnabar pen to write and draw on the paper crane, and then chanted a spell, and the paper crane suddenly shook.
The wings seemed to come alive, and they flew away with a whoosh.
This is used by Cangyun Sect to transmit information. It only takes half an hour for the paper crane to fly over a distance of thousands of miles. It is so fast that even a master of cultivation cannot intercept it.
It soon became dark. Ye Xiaochuan lay in the sand valley and looked at the stars in the sky. There were so many stars, but Ye Xiaochuan quickly found the two stars of Morning Glory and Weaver Girl. Many years ago, Yun Qiyou
It was pointed out to him that Ye Xiaochuan was pushed from behind by Xuan Ying and kissed Yun Qiyou hard.
Every time he saw the Morning Glory and the Weaver Girl, Ye Xiaochuan would always think of the scene that happened in the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden of Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
At this moment, Yun Qiyou was not looking at the stars. He was about a thousand miles away from Ye Xiaochuan and others, and was quietly following the disciples of Xuantian Sect for three days. Everything was normal.
All the expatriate disciples in the team were assigned to the forward camp where Ye Xiaochuan was located, and the rest were all elite disciples of Cangyun Sect. Although everyone felt strange why they had to follow the disciples of Xuantian Sect, but no one
