"But the disappearance of the monks from Jingxu Temple...maybe really related to the Demon Cult."
As soon as Yi Xifeng said this, Zhou Di immediately cheered up. His eyes lit up and he asked:
"Do you know why?"
Yi Xifeng shook his head, and Zhou Di was a little disappointed.
"But three years ago, a missing person also happened."
Zhang Yanshi frowned slightly, then his eyes lit up. After waking up a few days ago, he asked about many things that had happened during the years of coma. He still remembered some things fresh. He looked at Yi Xifeng and said:
"You mean the people of Loulan City?"
Yi Xifeng nodded, Zhou Di frowned and said, "Weren't the people of Loulan City killed by the endless barbarians?"
At that time, this incident spread throughout the world, and Zhou Di had naturally heard about it. However, the rumors in the world were that he was killed by Wuwuhuangman. Zhou Di was far away at White Horse Temple, so the news he heard was relatively limited.
Yi Xifeng said: "That matter was not that simple back then. There were too many doubts."
Zhang Yanshi drank the remaining half of the wine glass in front of him in one gulp and said in a deep voice:
"Three days before the Endless Wilderness captured Loulan City, the people in the city had already left. Three days was enough time for them to leave the borders of the countries in the Western Region. However, after the Endless Wilderness captured Loulan City, they did not pursue it immediately, but continued again.
After resting for three days, we continued heading south."
"This alone doesn't mean anything, right? After all, they are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, so they might be walking slower," Zhou Di said.
Yi Xifeng took over the topic and continued:
"I have seen that group of old and weak women and children. Their traveling speed is slower than ordinary people, but six days is enough time for them to escape to the Demon Kingdom. To be precise, those old and weak women and children disappeared in the Demon Kingdom, and they are not far away from them.
The closest one is the place where the demon sect belongs—Xuyou Mountain."
Zhou Di was shocked when he heard about Xuyou Mountain. He said: "I investigated the clues about the monks of Jingxu Temple, and it was at this mountain that the clues were broken!"
The three of them looked at each other, as if they had discovered something extraordinary. But the clues ended here, and everything else was meaningless speculation. They had to go to Xuyou Mountain to find out what was going on.
…………
"The visit is over, what are your plans next?" Yi Xifeng took a sip of wine and said.
Zhang Yanshi thought for a while, and Elder Zhou Mo just asked him to visit Zuo Jianming, and did not tell him what plans he had after that.
"Go back to the Holy War Hall. The Holy War Hall has been unstable recently. I'm worried that something might happen to Master."
Yi Xifeng frowned slightly. Zhang Yanyan didn't know about the closure of the Holy War Hall. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Don't tell him."
Yi Xifeng looked at the white-robed guard, nodded slightly in understanding, and said to Zhang Yanshi: "Why don't you follow me to the Floating Tower Country? Captain Hansong happens to be there too."
"oh?"
Zhang Yanshi, Zhou Di's eyes lit up. Zhou Di had never seen Han Song again since we parted ways in Luoye City a few years ago. Zhang Yanshi had been there for more than ten years. He was in the mountain patrol team back then.
He also received a lot of advice from Han Song.
The three of them hit it off immediately and decided to leave for the Floating Tower Kingdom tomorrow.
Late at night in the inn, Zhang Yanshi and Zhou Di had already fallen asleep. Yi Xifeng walked out of the room alone. After taking a few steps, a ripple in the space moved and the fair young man disappeared.
After the space ripples passed, Yi Xifeng stepped into a void of space. A figure stood quietly in front of him with his back to him.
"Your Majesty the Pope." Yi Xifeng bowed with his hands in hand.
This person turned around, and it was the white-robed guard who had been following Zhang Yanshi during the day.
"No need to be polite."
Yi Xifeng stopped his hand and stood opposite the Pope. He couldn't help but be confused and asked:
"Isn't the Holy War Hall closed? How did the Pope come out?"
"Your information is quite good. It must be the information given to you by Zhenwu Andian." The Pope looked at Yi Xifeng calmly and said.
Yi Xifeng smiled and did not deny it.
This was not the first time that the two of them had met. He had practiced in the Penance Tower of the Holy War Hall for a period of time and had many interactions with the pope.
"Lu Zhanyuan didn't rescue you in the blood-stained secret realm, but Lu Ya did."
Yi Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning after thinking for a moment.
"It seems that the Pope in front of me is just a clone, but the Pope's clone can actually open up space, which is quite powerful." Yi Xifeng thought to himself.
The Pope of the Holy War Church did not say it clearly, and Yi Xifeng did not point it out. He then changed the topic and asked:
"The Pope risked his life to lure the fish out of the water. Now that the fish has emerged, why did the Pope choose to stop?"
The Pope glanced deeply at Yi Xifeng, but soon regained his composure and said:
"Your current level of strength is not enough to touch these things. Let's wait until you reach the Chongsheng Realm. Knowing too much will not be good for you."
Yi Xifeng was silent for a moment. Since the other party didn't want to tell him many things, there was no point in asking further.
At this time, the Pope spoke first: "How is the investigation on the remnant spirit going?"
After Yi Xifeng calmed down, he expressed his guess.
"I suspect it is Su Xiaoxian. Su Xiaoxian's identity was unknown when he was picked up by the Qingyun Sect. Moreover, at a young age at that time, his swordsmanship was comparable to that of the elders in his sect. With such a high talent, he is probably the reincarnation of the residual spirit."
"Just your talent in swordsmanship doesn't mean much. Your talent is not bad, and your cultivation has progressed faster than him, and your origins are also unknown. If you say so, you are more like the reincarnation of a residual spirit."
Yi Xifeng's eyes widened, his lips tightened, and he was speechless. After all, the other party was right, and his suspicion seemed to be greater. If he didn't know what happened to him, Yi Xifeng would even want to suspect
Own.
"I have long said that the broken fragments of the weapon spirit will not exist for long. Now that hundreds of years have passed and it has left the protection of the Holy Tower, I am afraid it has long since dissipated."
Yi Xifeng raised a question in his mind: "But the Pope has left the Holy Tower, isn't he still living well?"
"My power is no longer within the weapon spirit. Just like you, it is all the true energy of heaven and earth." The Pope replied in a deep voice.
Yi Xifeng sighed. He really couldn't produce any strong evidence now. The main reason was that Su Xiaoxian's life experience could not be found. Even if he used the Zhenwu Dark Palace, there was still no clue. It seemed that there was a big hand behind him that eliminated Su Xiaoxian's previous problems.
All traces.
"In another hundred days, the Holy Tower will completely dissipate. Even if the remnant spirit is not dead now, it will disappear together by then."
After leaving these words, ripples were set off in the void again, and Yi Xifeng's figure appeared in the inn again, while the Pope's figure had disappeared.
