The firelight trembled, and the atmosphere in the golden palace instantly became tense.
Zishan Palace, which is responsible for guarding the teleportation array, has lost contact.
If it were normal times, Su Xiu might still guess whether the people over there were neglecting their duties.
But at this juncture, no one would think of the problem as simple.
So...is there someone from over there?
"Who is responsible for guarding Zishan Palace these days?"
Looking at Yan Huanwen, Su Xiu asked the maid beside him in a deep voice: "Have they sent back any news before?"
"Back to your Majesty, it's Lord Leihu and his clan."
The maid answered truthfully: "According to your instructions, your Majesty, they send messages back every day, but today there is no..."
"Um?"
Su Xiu's brows instantly wrinkled, and her tone became cold.
"Why wasn't this reported to me?!"
"Slave, this slave deserves to die!"
The maid trembled and knelt down on the ground, trembling and said: "Slave, I saw that you were discussing matters with King Jue, so I thought we would meet again later..."
"Hmph! You really do think about me!"
Su Xiu snorted coldly, his face as if covered with ice.
She glanced at the maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and sternly cursed:
"Why don't you go find out what happened to Zishan Palace?!"
"Yes, yes, slave, go right now!"
Getting up from the ground on her hands and knees, the maid quickly disappeared into the golden palace.
It was only then that Yan Huanwen frowned and asked:
"How many guards are there in Zishan Palace?"
"Not many, probably only a few dozen numbers."
Su Xiu replied thoughtfully: "However, the Thunder Tiger clan is not weak in strength. It can be said that the clan members have practiced the Taoism for hundreds of years."
"Dozens of people, at least a hundred years of Taoism..."
Yan Huanwen repeated it, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly came to a conclusion.
"So either a lot of people or experts came to the other side this time, otherwise it would be impossible to control Zishan Palace so quickly, and even the thunder tiger didn't have time to send a message for help."
"It's impossible for too many people to come at once."
Shaking her head, Su Xiu denied Yan Huanwen's first guess.
"The teleportation array can only pass one person at a time, even if there are thousands of troops, they have to come one by one."
"Besides, I have given Lei Hu an order a long time ago. Anyone who comes from that way after Miss Liu will be killed immediately."
"So no matter how many of them there are, if they are teleported, they will be in a situation where there are many enemies. Ordinary warriors cannot survive at all."
"What's more, the teleportation array will keep dead things out. How can they stand in Zishan Palace if they don't even have weapons?"
"..."
I have to say that Su Xiu’s analysis was correct.
If it were an ordinary martial artist, no matter how many there were, they would only be able to teleport one by one. The result would undoubtedly be Calabash Baby saving Grandpa, and there would be no return.
And this way...
"A master of the third level."
Yan Huanwen frowned even more: "Even the second grade."
"Second grade..."
Su Xiu was stunned for a moment: "But what Miss Liu said was that she was being chased by a group of bandits. If there really were second-level masters among these bandits, how could she escape?"
"Bandit?"
Yan Huanwen sneered: "It's now, do you still believe what she said?"
"I......"
Su Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.
Indeed, judging from the current situation, Yang Liushi is undoubtedly lying.
"Someone is coming!"
With a sweet shout, Su Xiu immediately wanted to order Yang Liushi to be captured.
However, Yan Huanwen suddenly stopped him and said:
"Wait a minute!"
"Demon King, the people over there probably don't know that this teleportation array connects Daning and Dajue."
"So there is a high probability that they are not here for you, nor for me, but maybe just for that fox girl."
"And since there are masters among those coming, it would be inappropriate for us to make enemies with them."
"In my opinion, it's better to talk to them first. If we can reach an agreement, we can just hand the person over to them."
"Maybe we can even use these people to help us in the national war..."
"..."
After listening to Yan Huanwen's words, Su Xiu couldn't help but be stunned and felt that what he said was not unreasonable.
After all, only two people had come to the teleportation array before, and the teleportation array's characteristic of repelling dead objects made it impossible for neither Yang Liushi nor the man after him to carry anything for communication.
Send back the situation here.
Therefore, people over there probably don't know where this teleportation array is connected.
In this way, there is a high probability that the opponent is not coming for the Seventh Demon Land or Dajue this time, but probably just to save Yang Liushi.
Although the other party killed the Thunder Tiger clan guarding the Purple Mountain Palace as soon as they arrived, it was unwise to form an enemy with a second-grade master.
In this case......
"Okay, let's follow what King Jue said for now."
Nodding, Su Xiu quickly made a decision.
"Someone, take Miss Liu to the secret pavilion in the back mountain and guard her closely!"
"But remember, don't neglect her!"
"..."
...
Facing the enemy who suddenly came to the door, Su Xiu wisely did not choose to fight directly without knowing the details of the opponent.
Wei Changtian on the other side actually had similar thoughts.
From the mouth of the guard of Zishan Palace, he had learned that Yang Liushi was not only alive, but was even brought back to Bailing Mountain as a guest by the Demon King of the Seventh Demon Land.
He was already in the opponent's territory, and they didn't do anything to Yangliu Shi... As a result, Wei Changtian naturally gave up the idea of going directly to the mountain gate to save people, and instead planned to follow him first
Let’s talk about that Su Xiu.
If the latter is willing to hand over Yangliu Shi, then his mission will be completed and he can escape unscathed.
If the latter refuses to pay, the worst possible outcome is to fight again.
Even if the negotiation goes well, I can use the power of the Seventh Demon Land to cause some trouble behind Dajue and reduce the pressure on the Liangzhou war...
From God's perspective, the current developments are actually a bit funny.
Yan Huanwen and Su Xiu wanted to use Wei Changtian's power to mess up Daning.
Wei Changtian wanted to use Su Xiu's power to mess up Dajue.
Both of these things are undoubtedly impossible, but neither party knows it now.
After all, Yan Huanwen didn't know that the person coming was Wei Changtian.
And Wei Changtian doesn't know the story of Yan Huanwen and Su Xiu...
Of course.
This layer of window paper will surely be broken when the two parties actually meet.
But at this moment, no matter whether it is Wei Changtian, Su Xiu or Yan Huanwen, they lack the expectations for this.
that's all.
With the only survivor in the Zishan Palace, Wei Changtian and the other five people ran five hundred miles overnight, and finally arrived at the foot of Bailing Mountain just before dawn.
Su Xiu had already made all preparations, so before Wei Changtian and others entered the mountain, he saw several very good-looking women coming out from the mountain to greet them.
They were slightly stunned when they saw that there were actually five people in Wei Changtian's party, but they quickly regained their composure and said with a smile:
"Everyone, are you from Tianshan Mountain?"
"yes."
Wei Changtian, who was standing at the front of the five people, was also stunned. He didn't expect that the seventh demon was so easy to talk to.
No, I haven't even spoken yet.
So what is this?
Honey trap?
Pay homage first and then fight?
Is the opponent giving in or is he cheating?
Wei Changtian was not sure for a while, but the group of women opposite did not hesitate. After confirming their identities, they all raised their hands and saluted.
