Taking everything into consideration, ripples appeared in the lake of my heart, and finally it returned to calm.
Shaking her head slightly, Liu Yu gathered her thoughts, put aside useless thoughts, and went on her way wholeheartedly.
He looked into the distance with an expressionless face, and there was only indifference in his pupils.
"Whizzing"
The escaping light passed through the sky silently, causing a subtle sound to break through the sky, and was not noticed by any monsters or monster cultivators.
The route given by Zhang Tao, although there are barren mountains and ridges along the way, the spiritual energy is extremely thin, and the distance is also quite far.
But the advantage is that it's safe and you don't have to meet too many demon cultivators.
Occasionally, they found a safe place to stop and meditate to recover their mana. Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen were on their way wholeheartedly.
Ten days passed quickly.
…
"Whizzing"
In the dark night sky, there was the sound of escaping light across the sky, but no brilliance emerged.
According to estimates, Liu Yu stopped about seven or eight hundred miles away from Lingwu City.
He loosened his left arm and let go of Zhuo Mengzhen.
"Further ahead, it should be Lingwu City."
The black wind wings flapped gently, and Liu Yu stayed in place, looking deeply to the north.
Although the distance between seven and eight hundred miles could no longer be detected by spiritual consciousness, there was a faint feeling of danger in the spiritual sense.
Once you have the thought of moving on, there will be a faint sense of crisis lingering in your mind.
"Lingwu City" is the de facto border between the Central Territory and the Southern Monster Clan. The Monster Clan has definitely assembled a heavy army here. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are as many masters as there are.
I'm afraid there are more than one or two demon cultivators.
With Liu Yu's current breath-holding skills, it would not be a problem to hide it from most third-level demon cultivators, but if he wanted to conceal the transformation demon cultivators, he still had a little trouble.
Therefore, it is certainly impossible to move forward.
After the monster realm reaches the third level, the range of spiritual consciousness is roughly the same as that of a monk. There is not much difference between the third and fourth level demon cultivators and the Golden Core Nascent Soul monks.
The range of the Nascent Soul Lord's spiritual consciousness is at least two hundred miles, which is far greater than that of the Golden Core cultivator, and the Demon Transformation cultivator is not far behind.
If one has reached the late fourth level of cultivation and has special talents, it is not impossible to scan a radius of five to six hundred miles.
Therefore, for the sake of caution, in Zhang Tao's plan, Liu Yu and Liu Yu only need to respond from 700 miles away, and do not need to get close to "Lingwu City".
The night sky was silent, and the two of them silently stared in the direction of Lingwu City.
Among the mountains, the roars of monsters and beasts came and went, making it seem very lively.
For them, when darkness falls, it’s a good time to hunt!
"Arrived early, then the next step is to wait."
Looking back, Liu Yu whispered.
"There are so many masters of the demon clan in Lingwu City, and the Zhang family can arrange for people to come in. They really have great magical powers."
"I hope there won't be any surprises in this operation."
Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Mengzhen nodded gently and whispered.
Participating in this operation personally, she may have to face the masters of the demon clan with spirit demon blood, but she still lacks confidence.
But for the sake of the future, I can only follow Liu Yu closely and participate personally.
I never thought that when we meet again hundreds of thousands of years later, the Annan Protectorate will be in such a situation. Even though he is already a "Jindan Zhenren", some things still cannot be controlled by his own control.
"First go to the agreed place and take your place, then wait patiently and watch the development of the matter."
Liu Yu said calmly.
After saying that, his figure flashed and flew to the left.
His consciousness, which had reached one hundred and two miles, spread to the left and right, looking for the place agreed upon in the plan.
According to the plan, the two of them only need to wait at the agreed upon location and then wait for the contact to arrive.
If everything goes well, there won't even be a need to fight the demon cultivator.
The two of them worked together to search carefully seven to eight hundred miles away from Lingwu City, and it didn't take long to find the agreed upon location.
This is a winding mountain path, not wide enough to accommodate a carriage.
On both sides of the trail are forests formed by tall trees, in which many low-level monsters and wild beasts also live.
"tread"
The two landed in the woods, found the marked tree, and waited quietly with their backs against the big tree.
"Huh~"
Liu Yu exhaled a breath, and his consciousness spread out, monitoring the surroundings at all times.
At the same time, the rotation speed of the golden elixir in the body is accelerated, the lake of mana is surging, and it is ready to take action at any time.
"Qingyang, in your opinion, is it likely that we will fight against the demon cultivator in this operation?"
Suddenly, a faint female voice came from the darkness.
Zhuo Mengzhen's eyes flashed slightly and he said softly.
She held the magic weapon "Mysterious Yin-Yang Needle" in her hand and pressed her knuckles slightly, obviously a little nervous.
Even though I have experienced many dangers along the way, the tension before danger has not weakened much.
Think about it, after traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers and going through hardships to reach the Central Region, Zhuo Meng would be really unwilling to die in the Annan Protectorate.
In that case, what is the difference between dying at the beginning?!
So wouldn’t the hardships and obstacles we’ve overcome along the way become meaningless?
"Is it likely?"
Liu Yu raised the corner of his mouth, closed his eyes and said concisely:
“Play it by ear.”
After he said this, he stopped talking, and the forest returned to silence.
Although according to what Zhang Tao said, there is a high chance that there will be no need to fight the demon cultivator in this operation, as the coordinators are very powerful and have excellent disguise skills.
But no matter how much he promised, Liu Yu only believed half of it.
After all, the Annan Protectorate is no longer under the control of the Zhang family. The demon clan has the final say here.
Whether there will be an accident depends not only on the performance of the connector, but also on whether the demon clan has received wind of this operation and whether it pays enough attention to it.
The initiative has always been in the hands of the demon clan.
Taking one step at a time, Liu Yu has always been accustomed to planning for the worst and is already ready to take action.
Even during the survey just now, the retreat route was secretly planned.
"boom"
The Sunset Golden Rainbow Gun was inserted into the ground. Liu Yu closed his eyes and used his magic power over and over again to keep himself in the best condition.
As the two of them waited quietly, time passed by minute by second.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
But after the appointed time, there was still no trace of the contact person.
"Could there be an accident and that person has been discovered by the demon clan?"
Zhuo Mengzhen was a little uneasy. His consciousness scanned over and over again and he spoke out his guesses.
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
"The connectors infiltrated the Lingwu Immortal City as slaves, and then entered the Annan Six Continents."
"But when the team escorting the slaves will set off still depends on the demon cultivator's decision. The time given by Zhang Tao may not be accurate."
"The demon cultivator has a weak sense of time and prefers to act casually. It is normal to delay time for some reasons."
"Just wait a little longer."
"If that person doesn't show up in another two days, we will evacuate immediately."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yu calmly analyzed in her mind and spoke slowly.
When the connector monk didn't show up, he felt a little uneasy and thought about retreating to Changnan City immediately.
But after a second thought, I gave up the idea of retreating directly.
After all, one move can affect the whole body. If Zhang Tao didn't really have the manpower, he wouldn't be asking for it on his own head.
Once he retreats, he will not be able to get the "Virgin Spiritual Liquid", and the subsequent uprising will most likely fail.
But then, you need to find a way to cross Lingwu City on your own.
Moreover, during the detailed discussion at "Jiren's Study", Zhang Tao also admitted that it was impossible to have all the situations under control and that the two of them needed to act according to the circumstances.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Liu Yu decided to wait and suppress the idea of retreating directly.
"Um."
His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and seeing that the other party didn't agree to retreat, Zhuo Mengzhen could only continue to wait.
"Zhizhi"
The roar of insects and beasts gradually became lower, and a blush gradually appeared in the distant sky.
Before I knew it, the night had passed.
After the agreed time, every minute seemed to be torture, and the uneasiness in the two people's hearts gradually became stronger.
While waiting quietly, another day and night passed in the blink of an eye.
In Liu Yu's spiritual observation, he did not find any trace of human monks at all, but demon cultivators passed by from time to time.
Gradually, he became a little out of breath.
After all, this place is not far from Lingwu City. For the demon cultivator in disguise, it may only take a moment to get there.
Every minute and every second, both of them bear considerable risks.
"Um?!"
But just when Liu Yu was thinking about whether he should retreat and return to Changnan City to figure out the situation, several lines of spiritual pressure that were obviously full of demonic energy suddenly appeared within the range of his spiritual consciousness.
"coming."
He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with light.
At the same time, he raised the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear, injected mana into it, and was ready to go.
On the other hand, he sent a message to Zhuo Mengzhen and was ready to take action.
At the same time, carefully observe the situation of the demon cultivators.
Appearing within the scope of divine consciousness were dozens of first- and second-order monster beasts and three third-order monster cultivators.
Not to mention that low-level monsters can pass by and pose no threat at all. The level of monster cultivators is one late-level third-level monster and two early-level third-level monsters.
The third-level late-stage demon cultivator looks somewhat similar to the Fire Phoenix clan, but the feathers on his neck and body are much more green and black.
This is clearly a late-stage third-order fire sparrow with spirit demon bloodline!
As for the two third-level early-stage demon cultivators, one is a deer and the other is an ox. They are both of mortal demon blood, and their strength cannot be considered outstanding.
Seeing this, Liu Yu felt slightly relieved.
Although the Fire Bird Clan is also of the spirit demon bloodline, it is not on the same level as the Fire Phoenix Clan.
Compared with the same level of strength, it can only be said to be slightly exceeded, but it is far from being able to fight across levels.
With his current strength, even if the opponent is a small level higher, it would be relatively easy to kill him, as long as there are no accidents along the way.
As for the two third-level demon cultivators who were only of mortal demon blood, they were not worth mentioning at all.
"However, the monks who became slaves had their stored magic weapons and magic weapons confiscated, and their magic power was sealed by the forbidden magic weapon. It is indeed not a danger."
"It is normal to arrange for three demon cultivators to escort you."
The thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly, Liu Yu thought silently and continued to observe the situation secretly.
Three demonic cultivators were flying in the sky, while dozens of demonic beasts on the ground were walking through the forest, surrounding more than a hundred cultivators walking on the road.
The breath of these monks is extremely weak, and they wear "forbidden spirit rings" around their necks, and all their magic power is sealed.
Among them, seven had their feet in chains.
Liu Yu has been observing these seven people the longest, because only Jindan monks are qualified to wear the "Forbidden Spirit Chain".
"As expected, the monk arranged by the Zhang family should be among these seven people."
The thought crossed his mind.
However, after observing for a long time, no flaws were found, and it was not clear who was the agreed connector.
"That's right. If you can find the flaws yourself, it's impossible to escape Lingwu City's scrutiny."
Seeing that the strength of the three demon cultivators was within the range that he could handle, Liu Yu smiled slightly.
The team escorting the slaves did not move towards the trail where the two men were hiding, so there was no need to worry about being accidentally hit by low-level monsters and discovering their whereabouts.
Knowing the strength of the escorting demon cultivator, both of them felt relieved and continued to lurk in the woods and wait.
Liu Yu continued to observe with his spiritual consciousness.
He was very curious as to what method the "connector" would use to slip away from the demon cultivator without anyone noticing.
What methods have the Zhang family prepared?
…
"tread"
A team of more than a hundred monks walked slowly along the road under the threat of the evil beasts.
Because the mana is sealed and spells cannot be used, the speed of travel is not very fast.
Some monks were listless, their eyes dull and numb, as if they had accepted their fate.
Resentment flashed in the eyes of some monks, and they were obviously unwilling to give up. They kept looking at the surrounding situation, and it was obvious that they had not given up the idea of escape.
Among these monks, only a small part were captured by monster beasts or demon cultivators.
Most of the monks were captured by evil cultivators or evil cultivators. They first looted everything worth spiritual stones, and then sold them to evil cultivators.
They were originally Central Domain monks with different identities, but after being sold into the hands of the demon clan, they all became "slaves".
Among the crowd, a middle-aged male cultivator who looked to be in his forties or fifties, with tattered clothes and black stubble on his chin, was paying attention to the movements of the demonic cultivators in the sky and the demonic beasts on the ground.
This person not only wears a "forbidden spirit ring" around his neck, but also has a "forbidden spirit chain" on his feet. He is clearly a late-stage Jindan monk.
Seeing that the attention of the demon cultivators and monster beasts were not on him for the time being, and that they were far enough away from Lingwu City, the black-bearded male cultivator realized that the time had come.
He was very decisive. He didn't know what method he used. He was suppressed by two forbidden magic weapons, but he could still use his magic power.
The hands under the sleeves of the robe quietly pinched a few spells, and then instantly disappeared into the earth.
In place, a vivid phantom remained, following the team slowly forward.
All the details are no different from the original one. As long as you don't touch it with your own hands, it will be difficult to find any flaws in a short time.
Next to the black-bearded male cultivator is a female golden elixir cultivator who is also wearing chains.
He couldn't use his magic power, but his spiritual sense was not affected.
"Eh? That's not right!"
"This person."
The moment he cast the spell, he felt subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy and realized something was wrong.
When she saw the "comrade in distress" beside her with dull eyes and rigid movements, she thought of the fluctuations in spiritual energy just now and instantly understood what had happened.
The female cultivator has a mean face and does not look like a broad-minded person.
Faced with the escape of her "companion" who was also a fallen person in Tianya, this woman didn't know what she thought of, and a strong sense of injustice suddenly arose in her heart.
Why should I become a slave and eventually be killed by beasts, but you can escape and ascend to heaven, free and easy?!
"Someone is running away!!!"
A sickly and crazy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the golden elixir female cultivator let out a sharp roar.
