At the corner of a certain street in Shuangjiao City, a team of several monks came from the other side of the street and stopped at the corner, talking to each other.
Judging from their clothes, they are all outer disciples of the Yuling Sect.
Shuangjiao City was not deserted as it was getting late, and the number of monks on some streets was even more than during the day.
The monks passing by this street corner were not curious about the existence of this group of outer disciples of the Yuling Sect. At most, they just turned their heads and glanced at them as they passed by.
In recent months, there have been many such teams in Shuangjiao City, both outside and inside the city.
These monks knew that he was a disciple sent by Yuling Sect to maintain order in the city because of the "Strangulation Order".
After seeing too much, naturally I no longer had the initial interest.
As long as you abide by the rules in the city, these people will not stare at or interfere with you.
While the crowd was coming and going, the two leading monks of the Yuling Sect were making arrangements for the rest of the sect. The former two were in the late stage of foundation building, and the latter were in the early stage of foundation building.
"Junior brother Yu took four people to Kuinan Street for inspection, and the remaining four people went with me to Jingying Street."
"Senior Brother Wu, when will we meet again?" the late-stage foundation-building monk known as Junior Brother Yu asked.
Senior Brother Wu turned his head left and right and looked in the direction of Kuinan Street and Jingying Street. He considered it in his mind and then said:
"We will meet here again after four hours and replace with the next team members."
Finally, looking at the crowd, he added:
"Do you guys have any questions?"
The remaining people clasped their fists and replied softly: "No."
So Senior Brother Wu named four people out of the people in front of him and said:
"Okay then, just the four of you will follow Junior Brother Yu. Although there won't be any big troubles in the city, some minor troubles will still happen from time to time. Please pay more attention."
Next to him, the monk named Yu Ling Zong with the same cultivation level as him nodded in agreement. Then he took the lead to take a step out, greeted the four people who were named, and led them to Kuinan Street.
Including Senior Brother Wu, the remaining few people did not delay after those fellow disciples turned the corner and disappeared.
The former took the lead and planned to immediately go to Jingying Street on the other side of the corner.
At this moment, the monk at the end of the team suddenly stopped, his eyes flickered, and he turned his head to look at a dark place behind.
He paused for a few breaths, then turned his head, quickly walked past several fellow students, and came to the side of Senior Brother Wu at the front.
"Senior brother, I've encountered something, and I may have to delay it for a while. Can you please be accommodating for an hour? After an hour, I will go to Yuehang Store to station myself."
Senior Brother Wu stopped and looked at the fellow disciple in front of him.
He thought for a moment and seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately replied with a smile on his face:
"Junior Brother Li can just deal with things by himself. The rotation task arranged by the sect this time is dispensable. There won't be any big things happening in this city. Besides, it doesn't matter if Junior Brother is missing."
After saying that, Senior Brother Wu turned to the remaining disciples behind him and said:
"If you have any matters that need to be dealt with in this city, you can tell me in advance. As long as you don't have something to do together and all of them are gone, then it doesn't matter if you delay for an hour or two. Everything will take care of itself, senior brother.
Hold on."
The remaining people naturally knew that half of what Senior Brother Wu said was the truth and the other half was just polite words, so they didn't take it completely seriously. They just smiled and clasped their fists and said "Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother", but no one left.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Wu looked at it with satisfaction, turned around and continued:
"Junior Brother Li, then you can handle it on your own. We will wait for you at Yuehang Shop in an hour."
The latter cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wu, and all my colleagues for your understanding. After this rotation mission is over and we enter the Hengduan Mountains, if you need help with anything, Junior Brother will never refuse."
Everyone laughed, and Senior Brother Wu patted his shoulder, and then led the remaining three people forward.
He stopped in place until the last person's back disappeared in the crowd, then he suppressed the smile on his face and turned towards a dark corner not far behind.
When I stopped, there was no one around, only the ancient bluestone walls surrounding it on three sides.
And the next moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkest place.
"Uncle Nine."
Li Xuangang, who had reappeared, looked at Li Yuheng, whom he had not seen for several years. He did not exchange greetings, but simply said "Follow me" and then took a step forward.
Along with these words, there was an aura of cultivation that disappeared quietly. After Li Yuheng sensed it, he was slightly surprised, but then he realized something, so he showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time cast a spell to cover up the imperial aura on his body.
Wearing Lingzong clothes, he set off to follow.
...
...
Li Xuangang never expected that before leaving Shuangjiao City, he would meet Li Yuheng by chance, whom he had not planned to meet during this trip.
So a quarter of an hour later, in the Li's Commercial Bureau, Li Yuqian had just recorded the latest progress of the Yuling Sect's strangulation order and the news that his ninth uncle Li Xuangang had entered the peak realm of foundation building into the family jade tube, and was about to take a walk around Fang City.
But before her left foot stepped out of the door, she saw two figures walking from the other end of the street from a distance.
It was still the side room, with Li Xuangang and Li Yuheng sitting opposite each other, and Li Yuqian standing beside them.
As for Shi Xiaoqing, who was still here when Li Xuangang left, he has disappeared now.
"Will there be any impact if I just leave the team like this?"
Li Yuheng:
"Senior Brother Wu knows that I am a follower of Elder You Li and will most likely become an inner disciple of the Yuling Sect in a few years. Moreover, this mission is not important, so there should be no difficulties."
"Uncle Jiu, don't worry!"
Li Xuangang nodded and said:
"I heard Yuqian say before that you are participating in a selection in the Yuling Sect, and the one you selected is this elder You Li's entourage?"
Li Yuheng knew what Uncle Jiu wanted to ask, and Li Yuqian on the side also widened his eyes with curiosity on his face, so he opened his mouth and explained in detail:
"Elder You Li is a newly promoted Jindan elder of the Yuling Sect in recent years. He has the right to choose a mountain peak within the Yuling Sect's mountain gate as the location of his cave. At the same time, he can also choose several of the outer disciples in the sect.
People go to their own peaks to help pioneer.”
"Well,,,,,, it's probably just some chores like taking care of spiritual plants and raising monster beasts. However, according to the tradition of the Yuling Sect, these newly promoted Jindan elders' cave followers are very likely to become the former in the future.
Personal disciples will be treated the same as ordinary inner disciples within the Yuling Sect."
"I heard that this elder You Li was the cave attendant of another Jindan elder in the sect a hundred years ago."
Li Xuangang: "What is the temperament of this elder You Li?"
Li Yuheng: "The selection just ended a month ago. After I moved the cave to that mountain peak, I have only met this Jindan elder twice. Judging from his appearance, he is a kind old man. I have never listened to him in the sect before.
There are rumors about him."
Li Xuangang: "Does he know the identity of the monks in your family?"
Li Yuheng: "I know, but it seems that this Jindan elder doesn't care about this matter. There are five people selected to join the peak, three of them have family backgrounds, and among the remaining two, one of them was recruited by a foundation-building sect.
The entrance to the Yulingzong mountain gate is pushed through the door."
Li Xuangang understood, and then thought of the news he heard from the tea shop today, so he opened his mouth and asked in a different direction:
"How much do you know, Yu Heng, about the strangulation order issued by the Yuling Sect?"
Hearing this, Li Yuheng did not rush to answer, but turned his head to look at Li Yuqian, reminded her, and then said:
"I originally wanted to come here to tell Yuqian about this and let her pass it back to the family."
"Um?"
Li Xuangang made a sound of doubt.

Li Yuheng turned to look at him and continued:
"After my mission in Shuangjiao City ends this time, I will go deep into the Hengduan Mountains and participate in the siege of the monsters."
"Before leaving, Elder You Li summoned me and two other followers who participated in this mission. In addition to giving each of the three of us a protective golden cicada, he also informed us of this siege, which would continue in the early stage.
It may take a long time, so let’s be prepared that we won’t be able to return to the mountain for a long time.”
"Besides, before leaving at the end, he also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that after the sect officially encountered the fifth-level demon king, he might also participate."
Hearing this, Li Xuangang frowned for the first time, and he heard something unusual in this.
The Yuling Sect is a large sect, and although the Jindan Daoist in the sect is not something that can be encountered casually outside the cave, the number is definitely not small.
It's just a demon king who has just entered the fifth level. The Yuling Sect is not asking for the cooperation of an elder like You Li who has just achieved the status of Jindan.
Li Yuheng: "In addition to the fifth-level demon king, the Yuling Sect most likely has other plots in the Hengduan Mountains. I just don't know what their specific plot is!"
Li Xuangang nodded in agreement with his guess, and then turned to remind Li Yuqian not to forget this matter.
In fact, this is similar to his previous speculation, but now that Li Yuheng has proposed it again, things have become more certain.
It was the first time Li Yuqian heard such a secret, and she felt that her brain was not enough. After hearing Uncle Jiu's reminder, she nodded mechanically.
Li Yuheng: "Uncle Ninth, according to Elder You Li, the early siege of the monsters will last at least a year. If something unexpected happens, it may take longer."
Li Xuangang: "When this matter is reported back to the family, the fifth uncle and the eighth uncle will make a decision. I will wait for the news."
After glancing at Li Yuheng, he continued:
"The Yuling Sect's plan for this operation will definitely not be too small. There are also many monks pouring into the Hengduan Mountains. Although your strength, Yuheng, cannot be compared to ordinary foundation building in the early stages, at the critical moment, self-preservation is the first priority.
First thing, be careful."
"If you know anything in advance, you can send me a summons and I will assist."
He took out a few jade bottles from the storage bag and handed them over:
"These are some Ten Thousand Energy Pills that I refined. Although you can't go into seclusion for a long time, you can't neglect your usual practice."
Li Yuheng took the jade bottle and said back:
"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, Yu Heng knows it."
...
...
Half an hour passed quickly. Because Li Yuheng had to rush to Yuehang Store, Li Xuangang's conversation with him had to end early.
Before leaving, Li Yuheng left behind two jade tubes, one containing various messages he had recorded recently, and the other containing a spell to envoy Yu Luofeng.
It seems that he considered that there happened to be a Yuluo bee swarm on Mount Taiqiu, so he specially collected it in the Yuling Sect.
Li Xuangang was a little surprised by this jade tube, so he made a rubbing and kept it.
Shortly after Li Yuheng left, he also left Shuangjiao City and returned to the Jieyuan space.
