Chapter 291: Xiyou City
"Don't blame me for being ruthless, I know you hate me because of Peony, but this mission is very important, this is their fate!
He had been lurking and wandering cautiously, and finally found this deeply hidden underground space in Xiyu City, and then ordered many teams to gather in the city; And at the time of the purge, Peony sent a message for help, and his unkind words did not avoid many Leng Yue Army, and the henchmen who originally belonged to Peony were suddenly furious.
However, under Jian Li's suppression and the cold eyes of the black-armored soldiers who belonged to Jian Li around him, the red-robed guards dared to be angry and did not dare to speak;
"Okay, this is the topographic map of Xiyou City, each team leader will take it, and each of them will carefully search for the batch of things that the Demon King needs; I can't go into details, if you find something, you will know it as soon as you see it, and you will transport it back directly, and you are not allowed to touch the seal! As for you, go the same, but I have ugly words ahead, I don't care what you think in your hearts, but this matter is a direct order from Lord Cold Moon Demon King, if you delay the business, I don't mind missing your three hundred people!" Jian Li took out a stack of jade slips and asked the guards next to him to distribute them; and sternly warned the red-robed guards.
Many soldiers took the order and left, leaving only Jian Li and fifty guards in this underground space, Jian Li rubbed the jade slip in his hand, frowned, the things that Tussaud needed were originally supposed to be secretly transported to Cold Moon City, but unexpectedly, there was an invasion of the demon world, and when it was delayed, it fell directly;
And when the city lord of Xiyou City died, the message was unknown, only knew that the things were hidden in a secret place, only he and his guards knew, and the insiders were all killed, and the details of these things were only known to Tussaud, this time let Jian leave, he also understood the strictness of these things after the order, but he didn't dare to say it directly to his subordinates; Just find it and understand that it has been sealed anyway. It's okay if you don't break the seal.
Although the Leng Yuejun who scattered out to look for it was suspicious, they also understood that there were some things that they could not know, anyway, Jian Li would know it at a glance, and he would not say more;
And on the ground where Jian Li was. It was just under the camp of the guards of Xiyoucheng, and the entrance was in a compartment where the sundries were placed in the small palace; This place has been searched by the demons for a long time, and it is not used for prohibition and protection in other places, and the passage of this compartment is unknown who came up with it, and it uses a mortal mechanism, so it is safe for a while; The ornate ornaments of the original palace were either removed or destroyed as long as they were useful; All that remained was empty and ruined walls.
There are no demon spirits gathered here, and the number of demon spirits roaming the streets near here is quite small, and more are gathered in the city lord's mansion and the exquisite pavilions and treasure halls around it; And the soldiers who quietly led the order out hid their breath from here without hindrance. Quickly wander into the city of Xiyou.
Located not far from the mountains, the terrain is flat and covers a large area, and the original flower-filled city is now ruined and dilapidated except for the central area. However, it is not tragic, and the demon spirit killing cultivators is different from usual.
From above, the city seemed to be ruined, but there was not a trace of blood left in the wreckage; It's just that the place behind the City Lord's Mansion that was originally a huge back garden has been completely razed to the ground, and hundreds of demon spirits have gathered, busy like ants;
A huge square pit that is nearly 100 meters deep. After being cleaned up, there were more than a dozen Shura standing on the edge, chanting mantras in their mouths, the demonic qi on their bodies floating, and the deep pit composed of earth and stone quickly condensed into a glass-like texture with the blessing of the spells and demonic qi of the Shura; The Taoist magic pattern is engraved on it.
The other busy demon spirits around were like porters, throwing into it the corpse of a cultivator who was entangled in the black demonic qi; Other spirits are poured with various liquid powders. and some huge bones that I don't know what they were were also transported to the big pool, and were wrapped in demonic energy and rubbed with runes and thrown in.
Xiyou City is very large, and the demon spirit army entrenched here is basically gathered in the central area, except for the five or six teams scattered everywhere, as well as the brigade wandering outside the city. And more of them are busy in the back of the City Lord's Mansion.
The scattered Cold Moon Army was also a little surprised, before entering the city, they found that there were quite few demons who could sense, and now they had to order it, after the team leader took the topographic map and analyzed it, he separated his team into a team of ten people again, each of whom memorized the topographic map, and then quietly explored and looked for it.
The things that are still left on the ground of the dilapidated Xiyou City are useless sundries, and the main thing they explore is the basement of the pavilions and the universe, but with little success, after all, basically all the secret rooms or small spaces hidden underground have prohibitions and the like, and for the demons, these prohibitions are equivalent to obvious big light bulbs, illuminating the entrance; Two thousand two hundred and fifty people scattered, and all the underground chambers they found were violently corroded and broken, and there was nothing inside.
And their search range is gradually gathering towards the center of the city, the peripheral demon spirits are quite few to bypass, and the further they go, the denser the demon spirit team becomes, and it is inevitable that they will encounter together, the cold moon army led by Jian Li is all elite, and a group of ten people is not a problem to face five or six demon spirits, although they have tried their best to bury the battle breath of control, but they still alarmed the demon spirit army.
However, what made the Cold Moon Army feel strange was that although they found that they had attracted the attention of other demon spirits after the battle, no more demon spirits came; The demons didn't seem to have time to deal with them, which made the Cold Moon Army also feel awe-inspiring in their hearts, and secretly felt that something was wrong.
On the other side, Mei Bilian carefully sneaked into the city with a peony, and landed on the second floor of a dilapidated pavilion near the city wall, and found that the surroundings were silent, and couldn't help but hesitate.
Liumo Momo, who had been controlling her soul and watching Mei Bilian's actions, was also surprised, she saw Mei Bilian stop hiding her figure for a long time and didn't know what to do, so she spoke;
"What's the fuss? Contact Jian Li, I remember that Peony still has a communication bead on his body?" Mei Bilian's expression changed slightly, and she replied hesitantly;
"Master, there were so many demon spirits chasing and killing before, and this time Peony and I returned intact, wouldn't Jian Li doubt it? Liumo was speechless, and then scolded the stupid;
"You just say just get rid of it? Stupid woke Peony up, her memory stayed when she was chased and killed by the demon spirit, go find Jian Li. Mei Bilian rubbed the corners of her forehead, couldn't help but sigh secretly, and shook it off? But she couldn't think of any good reason herself, so she woke up Peony hard.
Peony sighed, opened her eyes in confusion, and then suddenly woke up, hurriedly looked around, but found that she was in a dilapidated pavilion, trying to remember only remembering that she was shocked when she learned that Jian Li had abandoned it, but there was no memory of what happened next; couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Mei Bilian.
"Sister Fleur, where are we? And what about the demons who chased us just now? Why can't I remember anything?" Mei Bilian saw that Peony really didn't remember, and her heart couldn't help relaxing, only saying that she lost her mind after listening to Jian Li's words, and then she took her to run away desperately, and those demons gave up after chasing for a long time; So she took her back again, and was now in the city of Xiyou.
Peony softened when she heard this, and couldn't help but be glad that she escaped, although she still had some doubts about the demon chasing and escaping, but she didn't think much about it, she just grabbed Mei Bilian's hand and thanked her heartily, and she was a little ashamed that she had lost her mind, and Mei Bilian was actually sneaking into the city with her alone.
"Peony doesn't have to be polite, how can you and I be so polite, now that we have escaped, it is still important to get down to business, hurry up and contact Lord Jian Li." Mei Bilian looked at Peony's sincere and ashamed expression, and hurriedly interrupted her with an unnatural expression, but Peony was shocked, her face changed slightly, and she held the communication bead in her hand and tightened and loosened, but she didn't want to contact.
Mei Bilian sighed secretly, it seems that Jian Li's previous words have made Peony resentful, and she is actually secretly hateful, but now is not the time to hold grudges, Liumomo's instructions are very clear to her, although she also wants to teach the cold-blooded and ruthless Jian Li, but now it is important to lurk inside the cultivator as a pawn of Flowing Ink as a Furong identity; So she adjusted her feelings, and her face showed a look of resentment and helplessness.
"I know you hate Jian Li, but now the overall situation is important, when this mission is over, even if you don't say that I will settle accounts with him, it's better to be patient for the time being, contact him. Peony's expression became more and more ugly when she heard this, and she raised her head violently, her eyes revealing hatred;
"Sister Furong said yes, but I just can't bear this breath! If it weren't for my sister escaping with me, I guess I would have all the dead bones now! Sister doesn't need to say much, my contact is, if he doesn't give me an explanation, even if I blame the Cold Moon Demon King, I will make him pay no matter what the task!"
"Okay, I understand your thoughts, how can I not hate, but if this makes the Cold Moon Demon King angry, you and I will also be dead, I will deal with the matter of revenge, you can rest assured; The most important thing now is to contact them, our eyes are black, and we don't know what this mission is looking for, solve it first and then talk about other things!" Mei Bilian persuaded softly, and the peony who was filled with hatred calmed down after listening to her persuasion for a long time, and her expression changed slightly; It's just that Mei's eyes are still full of cold resentment.
Peony finally picked up the communication bead and contacted Jian Li; It took a while for Jian Li to open the message, and a surprised voice came out.
"Peony?"
"It's me, Master Jian Li didn't expect me to be alive, right?" Peony suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice; Jian Li was silent for a moment before continuing to speak.
