Finally gaining Yuan Chaoxi's trust, Zhou Jiang was dancing with joy.
Afterwards, he described in detail what he saw, heard and experienced along the way with Bai Liming.
After hearing that Baili Ming Jingran left his general and went to look for his younger brother alone, Yuan Chaoxi couldn't help complaining angrily: "This guy seems to be thinking about others, but he is so arbitrary and motivated. It's really frustrating.
People are not at ease. "That is, that is, after being tricked by this kid, I was heartbroken. Am I a person who is afraid of death? For example, isn't this looking at people in the eyes of copper coins - looking down on me?" Zhou
General echoed indignantly.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Chaoxi scolded him: "Are you too, a clumsy person? You were fooled by such a clumsy trick?"
"Don't even think about it. If Chen Songyan goes to destroy that camp, he will definitely be chased by monsters. Even if he escapes into the Yuxu Mountains, he won't have the energy to track you anymore. You will have to intercept him in an unnecessary way.
What?"
When General Zhou heard this, he did not dare to refute. He could only laugh dryly and echoed: "That's right, that's right. To use another analogy, I am an old woman sitting in a chicken coop - stupid (running) egg."
"Okay, don't keep talking about metaphors all day long. The matter is already here, and it's useless to say more."
Yuan Zhaoxi interrupted impatiently, and then continued: "The things you said about the secret gathering of monsters and beasts to imprison them, and the route you and Bai Liming took in the Yuxu Mountains, can't be explained clearly through the bracelet, let's meet
Let’s meet, I’ll bring a map of the Northern Wasteland, and then you can tell me in detail.”
"You don't want to find Bai Liming, do you?"
General Zhou asked uncertainly, and then he received a sharp shout: "You have to take care of it! Tomorrow, we will meet in a valley more than 40 miles northwest of Demon Slaying Pass. See you there or not."
After saying that, Yuan Chaoxi cut off the connection between the bracelets.
General Zhou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter: "This Yuan Chaoxi is really..., well, if she is a monster, she must be a tigress.
At this time, he had returned to Langlang Mountain, but he had been traveling in wind and snow, and he had not had time to repair himself.
The distance to the Demon Slaying Pass is not very close, so we must start now to catch up.
General Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, how pitiful, I just have a life of running around and working hard."
However, I also really want to establish contact with Yuan Chaoxi.
Then, after tidying up a bit, he called two little demons and ordered: "I'm going out for a few days, so you guys should take good care of the house."
One of the little demons had an exaggerated expression and said reluctantly: "The commander has just returned less than half a day ago. Where are you going? We can't live without you in Langlang Mountain. General Zhou wanted to reprimand him, but he dismissed it with a few words.
He left them, but then he thought that he had been away for a long time before, and if he left again this time, it would inevitably arouse criticism from his subordinates.
Furthermore, if the Demon King gives an order and he no longer guards here, he will be guilty of neglecting his duties and will inevitably be punished.
Then, he thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the Demon Slaying Pass to see if I can kill a few human spies and get some credit."
When the little demon heard this, his eyes lit up and he said flatteringly: "Commander, please take me with you and let me take advantage of you. Don't worry, I will serve you well along the way."
Another little demon also echoed, showing his loyalty.
General Zhou waved his hand impatiently and said: "Go, go, I'll take you two burdens with me, they won't be enough to hold me back. I know your loyalty, don't worry, if I get credit this time, you will be indispensable."
Thank you, Commander, thank you, Commander.
In the midst of the flattery, General Zhou left the station in a high-spirited manner.
In a secret cave, Chen Songyan, whose clothes were torn, stained with blood, and his face was pale, after carefully arranging the warning circle, collapsed on the ground weakly, panting heavily.
During these ten days of fleeing, he faced waves of enemies who either pursued or blocked him. He tried his best to finally gain a chance of survival.
But it also left him almost exhausted and almost unable to hold on.
Fortunately, at this time, he had broken out of the encirclement of the demonic barbarians and arrived at a low mountain peak more than a hundred miles away from the Demon-Slaying Pass. This area was the buffer zone between the Middle Earth and the Northern Wilderness. There were often soldiers from the Great Shock Dynasty.
The mages from the Taoist sect came to patrol, but Yao Man did not dare to conduct a large-scale manhunt, so Chen Songyan got a chance to breathe.
After lying on the ground for half an hour and finally regaining some strength, Chen Songyan forced himself to sit up and took out a copper incense burner from the Qiankun bag with trembling hands.
I saw him fluttering his hand gestures and chanting in a low voice. After a while, the copper incense burner spontaneously ignited without fire, and green smoke floated on it, slowly condensing into the vague form of Li Yukong, the founder of the Taoist sect.
Before Chen Songyan could speak, Li Yukong frowned slightly and asked in a cold tone, "Why did it take you so long to contact me?"
Chen Songyan was stunned at first, a little confused as to why the Patriarch was blaming him. This mission of destroying the demon barbarian camp was extremely dangerous, and the Patriarch should be able to understand his difficulties.
But he did not show it. Instead, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said respectfully: "Please forgive me, Patriarch. I have completed the task you ordered and successfully destroyed the camp where the alien beasts were secretly detained. However, I was attacked by the demon barbarian."
Pursuit, that's why I took so long to report the situation to you." "The mission I gave you? When did I ask you to destroy that camp? Isn't your mission to track down Baili Ming? Hearing this, Chen Songyan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was a little incoherent.
He said: "But, it was the Patriarch who asked me to go that night? Am I hallucinating?"
Li Yukong thought for a moment and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you were fooled. You were fooled by Bai Liming. I didn't expect that his illusions were so powerful that he could use the humility realm to confuse a higher-level powerful person in the late stage of the true realm.
"
"I was fooled, how could this happen? No wonder Zhou will come out to stop me."
Chen Songyan asked in confusion.
"Where are you now?"
Li Yukong asked in a deep voice, full of doubts.
"Reporting to the Patriarch, this disciple is now more than a hundred miles away from the Demon Slaying Pass."
Li Yukong was silent for a moment, and then said: "You go to the Demon-Slaying Pass to repair temporarily and wait for the next arrangement. Also, don't ask for the position of Star Lord. When Chen Songyan heard this, the world was spinning: "How could it be so?"
Li Yukong's voice softened instead: "Song Yan, with your current qualifications and contributions, you are not enough to convince the public. However, all the leaders and elders for the position of Kaiyang Star Lord are urging me to select a candidate early."
"Now is a time of crisis, and the Taoist sect needs internal unity. You wait for now, improve your strength and accumulate merits. I will definitely let you inherit the position of the next Star Lord."
Chen Songyan didn't know how to answer for a while, so he struggled and said: "Grandmaster, give me another chance. I will go to the Yuxu Mountains to look for Bailiming now."
"You are seriously injured now and are no longer fit to go."
Li Yukong said in a deep voice, and Chen Songyan asked in return: "What about tracking Bai Liming?"
Li Yukong sighed and said, "I will go there myself.
