In order to keep it secret, Ji Tianxing and Taoist Huanglong used the secret method of invisibility and quietly entered Laifeng City.
Moreover, in order not to reveal their whereabouts and information, the two of them did not go to the city lord's palace.
The two of them shuttled through the city, releasing their spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding situation.
Taoist Huanglong walked and introduced to Ji Tianxing: "Master, the city that was attacked last night was Laifeng City, and several elders and dozens of disciples of the Xihe Sect also died here.
According to the news reported by the Xihe faction, more than 80,000 civilians were killed last night, and thousands of city guards died in the battle.
The number of murderers was small, but they acted quickly. The battle only lasted an hour and ended.
So far, five cities have been attacked, with casualties ranging from six to one hundred thousand...
The Xihe Sect is completely helpless and has almost no one available, so we can only ask our sect for help."
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly, looked around sharply, and covered the entire city with his spiritual consciousness, secretly sifting and investigating.
"To be able to kill more than 80,000 civilians and thousands of city guards within an hour, the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated. At least they are all strong men who have overcome the tribulation realm.
In addition, there are still some fragmentary corpses left in the ruins of the battle that have not been cleaned up.
There is still some demonic energy hidden in those corpses, which shows that the culprits are indeed demons.
I just don’t know where those demons are currently hiding and whether they will appear again.”
Taoist Huanglong nodded repeatedly when he heard this, with a look of deep admiration on his face: "There are several ruins in the city, scattered in all directions.
Master can sense the aura of the demons without even going to investigate in the ruins?
Are you so sensitive to the aura of demons?"
Ji Tianxing said calmly: "This is nothing. If you have been fighting with the demons for many years and killed millions of demons with your own hands, you would be able to sense it."
Taoist Huanglong was secretly stunned when he heard this, and thought in his heart: "When did Master fight with the demons and massacre millions of demons?
Kill millions of demons with your own strength...
Wouldn't that not become the nemesis of the demon clan, making the demon clan fearful and hate it to the bone?
No wonder Beiming Mountain is deliberately trying to deal with Master!"
Ji Tianxing said nothing more and continued to wander around Laifeng City, releasing his spiritual consciousness to search for clues and traces.
For three hours, he did find many clues.
Through those clues and traces, he was able to restore the scene of last night's fighting, deduce the level of strength of the powerful demons, and what secret techniques were used.
Unfortunately, Ji Tianxing did not find the powerful demon lurking and did not know where he was.
Even if he relied on the power of the Heaven-Building Pearl, he could not sense the existence of the powerful demon clan.
It was not until evening that he had to stop searching.
"I've searched three times in Laifeng City, but I still can't find any powerful demons lurking there.
All the demons have retreated, leaving no spies or spies in the city."
Taoist Huanglong was filled with worry and asked: "Master, what should we do?
How about we squat in Laifeng City, wait for the demons to come back, and then kill them?"
Ji Tianxing shook his head and analyzed in a calm tone: "The demons attacked several cities before, but they all escaped with one blow and did not launch a second attack.
This shows that the demons did not do this to massacre the city, but just wanted to create chaos and deliberately led me to appear.
Therefore, the demons attacked Fengcheng last night and should not come again."
After a pause, he continued: "However, Laifeng City is the largest city in the West Valley.
Just in case, Huanglong, you stay here to prevent the demons from coming back.
Once the demons show up, you will send a message to the master..."
Taoist Huanglong asked quickly: "Master, where are you going?"
Ji Tianxing looked at the setting sun in the west and said solemnly: "Go to the Xihe Sect."
Taoist Huanglong was startled for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.
"Disciple understands! What you mean is that all five cities have been attacked. Next, the target of the demons must be the Xihe Sect!
If we rush there now, we can just wait and see!"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "Yes, this place is not far from the Xihe Sect. If I can get there before dark, I must get there immediately."
Taoist Huanglong quickly dissuaded him: "Master, since the demons are likely to attack the Xihe Sect tonight, you can't go.
The target of the demons is you. If you go alone, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?
Even if you insist on going, my disciples must come with you so that they can protect you!"
Although Taoist Huanglong's attitude is very firm.
But Ji Tianxing's tone was solemn and he ordered in disbelief: "Huang Long, as a teacher you have your own sense of proportion, you don't need to say anything.
You stay in Laifeng City and wait for orders from your master at any time.
Master, I will go to the Xihe Sect now. If I find any movement of the demons, I will send a message to inform you to come."
After he finished speaking, he added, "This is an order and must not be disobeyed!"
"This..." Taoist Huanglong suddenly had a problem and fell into hesitation.
He remained silent, fighting between heaven and man in his heart, and after a while he nodded in agreement.
"Disciple, please obey the order, but please be careful, Master, and put your own safety first."
Ji Tianxing nodded, turned and left.
He flew out of Fengcheng quietly and flew towards the west.
Taoist Huanglong stayed in the city, still remaining invisible and not showing up.
He hid on the tallest tower in the city, overlooking the whole city and monitoring the movements of the north and south gates.
…
The mountain gate of Xihe Sect is 30,000 miles west of Laifeng City.
It is a thousand-foot high peak, a spiritual treasure land, and one of the 108 peaks.
When Ji Tianxing arrived at Xihe Sect, it was dusk and night was about to fall.
He remained invisible, landed on the top of the mountain, and secretly observed the situation of the Xihe Sect.
I saw that the Xihe Sect was completely silent, with few traces of human activity, and even only one team of patrolling guards.
It can be seen that many elders, deacons and disciples of the Xihe Sect have been sent out to guard the city.
Today's Xihe Sect is experiencing a shortage of manpower and an empty defense.
Fortunately, the Xihe Sect has a mountain-protecting formation, a holy formation that has lasted for thousands of years to protect the entire sect.
Ji Tianxing hid outside the formation, sitting on a large millstone in the forest, waiting quietly.
Time passed quietly, and two hours passed quickly.
It was already late at night, the night sky was as black as ink, and the cold wind howled like a knife.
There were scattered lights inside Xihe Pai, making it look particularly deserted and quiet.
Ji Tianxing was still sitting on the big millstone, using the secret technique of Hun Tian to merge with the Qianli Heaven and Earth to sense the situation around him.
Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura approaching quietly from the east.
The aura was a bit mixed, and it was obviously the auras of multiple powerful men mixed together.
He used his secret technique to take a closer look, and found that it was a black cloud with a radius of ten miles, flying silently in the night sky, heading straight for the Xihe Sect.
