The border defense of Gusu City is still nominally controlled by the government, but in fact, it has long fallen under the control of the Twelve Holy Lands.
The last time the warriors in the city were controlled, it was inseparable from the Wei Yu Dao Jiedushi Mansion. In addition, this place was not under the control of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so the Twelve Holy Lands directly used force to control this place without any psychological pressure.
Ordinary people who want to enter Gusu City must go through strict inspections, and they can only enter but not leave. Therefore, the number of people entering Gusu City these days is extremely limited.
Once the target is visible, it is easily seen.
As for the secret passage leading into the city, it is a pity that since the passage to the Witch Mansion was exposed, the Twelve Holy Lands thoroughly inspected all the houses in the city, and one of the passages to the Demon Gate was destroyed.
Fortunately, Gusu City is backed by Nuanyang Mountain and there is a large mountainous area adjacent to it. It is simply unrealistic to block the exit of this vast area with the manpower of the Twelve Holy Lands.
So they set up formations one after another early on to prevent anyone from walking along the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Puppet's holy energy and sneaking into Gusu City through here.
However, if the Tao is one foot high, the devil will be one foot high.
The formations of the Twelve Holy Lands are indeed exquisite, but due to the death of a large number of formation masters underground, the strength of those who set up the formations was greatly reduced, and the formations were not perfect.
Secondly, there are also capable people in the Demon Sect, such as Master Yu, Master Tianpuppet, etc. In addition, Yao Wu, an internal agent of Shura Mansion, used his identity to memorize many formations of the Twelve Holy Lands and pass on the secrets.
After explaining everything one by one, the Demon Sect found the flaw in the formation that night, and carefully explored the most suitable route, approaching Gusu City little by little.
After successfully entering, the flaws were repaired, and the entire process did not arouse anyone's alertness.
Another group of people also sneaked into Gusu City without anyone noticing. They were five men and three women. They all had extraordinary temperaments, but their expressions were extremely dignified and cold.
Surprisingly, they were Wu Guanting's family, as well as Lou Linxuan, Song Lele, Min Huaixiang, Zhan Bai and He Dingbang.
The person responsible for deciphering the formation was surprisingly Lou Linxuan.
As expected by those familiar with it, Wu Guanting knew that this incident was a trap, but he still chose to take the risk. However, things were different from what outsiders imagined.
The eight people all went through a simple disguise and walked for a while on a street where warriors frequently came and went. They suddenly turned into an alleyway, then turned around in the alleyway, and finally entered through the back door of a remote courtyard.
The owner of the yard was an old man in his sixties. He was lying on a deck chair in the yard basking in the warm winter sun. He jumped up when he heard the noise. He turned around and saw the eight people who had barged in for no reason. Before he could shout, he saw the leader in white.
The man tore off the beard on his face, revealing a rich and handsome face.
"Alliance leader!" the sixty-year-old old man shouted in a low voice, hurriedly ran to the door of the yard, listened to the surroundings through the door panel, and then quickly returned to greet him.
"No need to be polite, let's talk after we enter the house." Wu Guanting said in a solemn voice and walked quickly to the main room.
Everyone followed him inside.
"Leader, you really shouldn't have come!"
After everyone sat down, the sixty-year-old old man beat his chest and stamped his feet. He admired Wu Guanting's righteousness. He was loyal to Wu Guanting back then and was willing to keep a low profile for this reason until now. He was also impressed by Wu Guanting's charisma.
But at this moment, I really want to scold him, saying that he came back even though he knew he was going to die. This is not because he is unloyal, but because he is stupid and doesn't know how to adapt!
Wu Guanting glanced at him: "Lao Yu, Yin Xiangfeng, Wu Kang and Yu Tianci are all brothers of our Sanjiang Alliance. They were killed because of me. I can't not see them even for the last time.
To be honest, I didn’t plan to stand out or show up when I came this time. I just wanted to see them one more time before they died!
I want to remember this blood feud and make sure that I don’t slack off at all times. I just want to avenge all the brutal deaths of my brothers in the Sanjiang Alliance during my lifetime!"
Hearing this, the old man in his 60s was filled with astonishment and a bit in disbelief. After he was sure that Wu Guanting was not joking, he looked at Lou Linxuan and Miao Qingcheng. Seeing them nodding, the old man in his 60s breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, he continued to persuade: "Leader, tomorrow morning, the Dongfang Family will definitely send out all the people to enforce martial law. If you get close, you will be discovered if you are not careful, so it is better not to go!
I believe that this is the result that Yin Xiangfeng and the others are most looking forward to. As long as you are safe, you can at least leave them with a thought of revenge!"
Wu Guanting waved his hand: "Lao Yu, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I killed my brother, and now I can only stand by and endure the pain. It has made me extremely uneasy. If I don't dare to see him for the last time, I, Wu Guanting, am in vain!"
In the minds of many people, since they have chosen not to take action, there is no need to take any more action. It is better to simply fly away than to take the risk of going to watch onlookers and possibly being discovered.
It's a pity that Wu Guanting is not such a rational person.
In other words, if he had not considered the safety of his family and friends this time and did not want to drag others into trouble because of himself, if Wu Guanting was just alone, he would definitely jump out.
Some people value their lives very seriously, while others care more about other things.
This time he chose to stand by and watch. The pain in Wu Guanting's heart was unimaginable to outsiders, so he had to go and have a look no matter what. Otherwise, he would never be able to overcome this hurdle.
No matter how much Lao Yu tried to persuade him, Wu Guanting had no intention of relenting. Seeing that the others did not say a word, he was obviously helpless, so Lao Yu had no choice but to keep silent.
Standing behind her, Wu Yuanyuan, who had always been silent, suddenly asked: "Grandpa Yu, do you have any news about Zhuo Mufeng?"
Lao Yu lived in seclusion in Gusu City more than 20 years ago. Not many people knew that he was from Wu Guanting, and he had built a solid intelligence system for the Sanjiang Alliance. Although the scale was much smaller than that of Baige Hall, it was only limited to
Gusu City, but within this range, its intelligence capabilities are far superior to those of Bai Ge Tang.
Several other people also looked at Lao Yu expectantly.
Old Yu sighed: "Sorry, miss, I have secretly sent people to inquire many times, but no trace of my uncle has been found. But this is a good thing, proving that my uncle has not fallen into the hands of the Dongfang family. And, maybe tomorrow...
"
Everyone heard the underlying meaning of Lao Yu's words.
The Dongfang Family attacked Yin Xiangfeng and the others with the purpose of drawing out the Sanjiang Alliance, but the root cause was probably for Zhuo Mufeng, who would most likely be hiding nearby to watch.
Miao Qingcheng held Wu Yuanyuan's hand and found that her daughter's hands were cold. Looking at her pale but still beautiful face, she said softly: "Girl Yuan, don't worry, everything will be fine!"
Wu Yuanyuan didn't say a word, her expression was full of worry, and she could be said to be filled with sorrow.
Compared with the Sanjiang Alliance, the martial arts of the Demon Sect is much higher, but the speed is slower and more careful. Because the super masters have mutual induction, Tianpuppet Lao Dao and others have to be careful.
Fortunately, everything went well. They took a long detour and quietly entered Gusu City from the mountainous area on the side of Nuanyang Mountain. On the streets at night, they could still see the patrol team composed of the Twelve Holy Lands walking, checking their surroundings from time to time.
.
The restaurants, inns, teahouses, etc. on both sides were still brightly lit, but the people inside did not dare to make loud noises. When they saw the patrols outside, their voices automatically dropped by half.
The people from the Demon Sect were very experienced. As soon as they entered the city, they were immediately divided into eleven teams. In addition to the top ten masters, the sister in white who heard the news about Zhuo Mufeng also actively participated and became the leader of the team. Of course, the one who commanded was
Yu Qiulan.
The Demon Sect also has property in Gusu City, and it is deeper and more hidden than the Hidden Village and the Sanjiang League. According to the previous plan, the eleven teams each found a courtyard to stay, and there were people to meet them.
At the same time, on Nuanyang Mountain, bonfires lit the sky, making it as bright as day.
In a huge tent, two people were sitting opposite each other.
Dongfang Wudi asked: "Great Elder, are you sure that people from the Sanjiang Alliance will definitely sneak into the city? So far, there has been no news from the city gate guards. There are very few people entering Gusu City now. If they mix in, there is no way they will not be discovered.
.”
Opposite me, Dongfang Changsheng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His cloudy eyes looked unfathomable in the firelight: "I have ordered the city gate guards to relax their guard. If necessary, they can deliberately let go. According to Wu Guanting's character, it is not possible to
Maybe he won’t come.”
Dongfang Wudi shook his head: "There are no absolutes in everything."
Dongfang Changsheng's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly: "If this is the case, then we can only continue to search for the people of the Sanjiang Alliance, and the delay will only be a few days at most."
But he knew in his heart that even if it was just these few days, if Zhuo Mufeng went directly to a deep mountain and old forest in these few days, then all the previous hard work would have been in vain!
No matter how scheming Dongfang Changsheng was, he would never have imagined that Lou Linxuan would be able to decipher all the formations he had set up with the strength of the Twelve Holy Land Formation Masters. He had no idea that the prey he was waiting for had already entered.
Got the urn.
What he and Dongfang Wudi didn't expect was that the three of them, Yin Xiangfeng, actually attracted their biggest enemy, the Demon Sect.
The two of them sat opposite each other all the time. They were both highly cultivated people. Even if the plan went wrong, they could not shake their mood. In the second half of the night, they simply closed their eyes and cultivated until dawn.
Dongfang Wudi took the lead and said: "It seems they didn't come." There was a bit of regret in his tone.
Dongfang Changsheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master, I go first."
None of the opera singers came, are you still planning to go in person? Dongfang Wudi raised his eyebrows with a little doubt. Dongfang Changsheng had already stepped out of the tent.
Dongfang Wudi knew that this old guy always did things in a very orderly manner and was extremely confident in himself. The more such a person is, the harder it is to give up. He will never think that he will make a mistake until the last moment.
With a wry smile, Dongfang Wudi picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
…
Yesterday was a sunny winter day, but today there was not a trace of warm light. Dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and the cold wind was as sharp as a knife, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground in the city, swirling them a few times, and dispersing the coldness and silence of the place.
At three o'clock in the morning, Gusu City was still in semi-darkness, but the firelight reflected by a few lanterns flickered.
Ordinary people didn't get up, and even after getting up, they didn't dare to go out for fear of offending powerful men.
On the avenue next to the Wufu Alley, three people were half-kneeling on the ground, unable to move. There were experts from the Eastern Family standing around them.
There are many arrangements in the shops on both sides and in the lanes, which can be described as a dragnet. Even if a super expert comes, it will not be easy to escape.
Dongfang Changsheng personally sat in front of the window of the three-story restaurant on the left, drinking tea and looking down at the overall situation, his sinister eyes constantly scanning back and forth.
