The Five-City Defense Line is composed of five cities surrounding the dead city.
They are Gucheng, Yicheng, Yaocheng, Guimenguan and Kaicheng.
Among them, Gucheng faces the Dead City, and is the closest city among the five cities to the Dead City except Guimen Pass.
Gucheng, which bore the brunt of the attack, received intensive care from the dead clan, and most of the elders of the Xuanwu Sect were supporting this place.
The remaining four cities are guarded by a group of strong men sent by Xuanwu Sect, Linghuan Sect and Cangyu respectively. In addition to the original defenders of the five cities, the city lords and young disciples of various factions, now all the dead tribes are intercepted.
Around the dead city, it is impossible to break through the five-city defense line.
Qi Kongming chose this most dangerous Gucheng.
Chen Xuanli nodded slightly when he heard Qi Kongming's choice. He guessed that Qi Kongming's choice was this Gucheng.
He knew his apprentice's temperament, so he easily guessed Qi Kongming's choice.
"Well, Elder Lin is also over there. You can directly accept Elder Lin's assignment after you go there." Chen Xuanli agreed with Qi Kongming's choice.
Qi Kongming was stunned when he heard this and remembered that it was Elder Lin who escorted their group to the Death City.
Being assigned to serve under Elder Lin now is also very good.
At least I'm familiar with the roads, so I won't worry.
"Okay, you can rest for a day before setting off, or you can set off now. Make your own choice. Don't disturb me here." Chen Xuanli placed Qi Kongming in his place, then waved his hand and drove Qi Kongming away.
Qi Kongming heard this and said jokingly: "Master, I won't interfere with your business by staying here. I'm very sad when you say that."
"You're in my eyes, go away, go away." Chen Xuanli said with a teasing tone when he heard Qi Kongming's words.
"Okay, Master." Qi Kong knew that Master had many things to do, so after making a joke, he walked out and took Xiao Guizi away.
Xiao Guizi originally thought that Qi Kongming would return to his room, but when he saw that Qi Kongming was heading outside the palace, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you leaving the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Kongming suddenly turned around, slapped his head, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that you, Xiao Guizi, are still here. You don't have to follow me now. I'm leaving Yanhua City to perform another mission."
When Xiao Guizi heard Qi Kongming's words, he bent down and said respectfully: "In that case, I will retreat first."
Qi Kongming watched Xiao Guizi go away completely, turned around, left the palace, and came to the teleportation array again.
Gucheng is a city in Cangyu. The teleportation array of Yanhua City cannot directly teleport to Gucheng. Qi Kongming had to teleport to Cangyu first, and then teleported to Gucheng through the teleportation array of the city in Cangyu.
Qi Kongming walked out of the teleportation array and went straight to find Elder Lin.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Kongming took out his disciple token, entered the City Lord's Mansion easily, and met Elder Lin smoothly.
Elder Lin was surprised when he saw Qi Kongming at first sight, and then said with a smile: "It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead. Your cultivation level has already caught up with mine."
"Elder Lin is laughing. I think Elder Lin seems to be not far away from breaking through." Qi Kongming immediately felt a little embarrassed when he heard Elder Lin's praise.
"Hey, this is what I have accumulated over the years. I am not as capable as you young people. In time, you will definitely surpass me and you may become the next saint." Elder Lin waved his hand and continued.
"Elder Lin's words really upset me. I came to support Gucheng under the orders of my master. Master told me to work under Elder Lin. Elder Lin, please give me more work." Qi Kongming listened.
When Elder Lin mentioned that he could become a saint, he became even more panicked.
The two quickly arrived at Elder Lin's room and sat on the chairs.
"Don't worry, let me think about it. I'll see what suits you. You drink tea first." Elder Lin poured a cup of tea for Qi Kongming, and then he started thinking.
Qi Kongming had no choice but to take the tea and drink it.
"There is a task that was originally agreed upon by the elders and was to be carried out by me. I wonder if you are willing to give it a try?" Elder Lin asked.
"Yes." Qi Kongming replied firmly, and Elder Lin nodded.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"This mission is to explore the dead city. Starting from this solid city, we will record the situation of the dead along the way. Then we will go deep into the dead city to explore the situation of the dead city."
"But you have to be good at hiding and escaping to do this. Do you have this ability?"
Elder Lin looked at Qi Kongming, obviously wanting Qi Kongming to show off his skills to see if Qi Kongming could perform this task.
Upon hearing this, Qi Kongming immediately said: "Then the elders should be careful!"
After the words fell, Du Men opened the door, and Qi Kongming's figure immediately disappeared.
Elder Lin stood up in surprise, unfolded his soul power, and explored Qi Kongming's figure.
Not found!
Qi Kongming seemed to have completely disappeared from this room.
In this way, this matter is really suitable for him to do.
"Good job, I leave this matter to you." Elder Lin sat down again and said.
Qi Kongming closed the door, the power of concealment disappeared, and his figure appeared, sitting on the chair.
"I wonder what the time requirements are? Is there anything specific you want to investigate?" Qi Kongming asked.
He must be aware of these constraints and budget for speed.
"In three days, we mainly want to explore the defense situation of the dead city and the distribution of the dead tribes along the way." Elder Lin replied immediately.
Qi Kongming nodded when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said, "That's it, I'll set off now."
Elder Lin was stunned when he heard this, stopped Qi Kongming and said, "Don't worry, it's not too late to rest for a day."
Qi Kongming shook his head and said, "It won't be too late for me to rest after the mission is completed."
Elder Lin looked at Qi Kongming's hurried back and sighed: "Young man, you are really energetic."
Qi Kongming quickly left Gucheng, and his figure rushed into the gray death air outside the city and disappeared.
The soldiers on the city gate looked at Qi Kongming's figure and prayed for Qi Kongming in their hearts.
They all regarded Qi Kongming as a scout who went out of the city to investigate the situation, and they were full of respect in their hearts, because few of the scouts who went out came back.
However, as long as one scout comes back and transmits the information, many people in Gucheng can be saved.
Qi Kongming used Seven Star Cloud Step and his figure flew up directly, heading forward at low altitude.
Before some of the dead clans wandering between the Dead City and the Gucheng could react, Qi Kongming's figure had already passed through their place and headed farther away.
Qi Kongming looked at everything on the ground and remembered it all firmly.
At this speed, Qi Kongming could enter the dead city in half a day.
However, the closer you get to the dead city, the more dead people there are, and the slower Qi Kongming's speed will be.
Qi Kongming knew that he could not expose himself and had to be careful in everything.
