Chapter Eighty-Seven: Probing
Seeing Yan Hongchen coming, Chopping Thousand Knives was already dancing happily at the moment, and his words trembled.
"Big... Big brother, master, you see, my big brother is back. ”
Gu Feng raised his eyelids and said with a calm smile: "Young man, it's only been half a year, I didn't expect you to improve your cultivation a lot." ”
Yan Hongchen clenched his fists and said, "The president said that he laughed, but thanks to your introduction, the kid is unforgettable." ”
Gu Feng waved his hand and said, "That's all your own creation, you don't have your own superior talents, even if the old man pulls you, what's the use?"
Gu Feng was also telling the truth, it was gold that would shine brightly wherever it went, and he was just pushing the boat down the river and introducing Yan Hongchen to the Qingying Sect.
But in Yan Hongchen's heart, Gu Feng's favor can be regarded as a great kindness, after all, when he first came to the Continent of the Gods, this old man was the first person to appreciate him.
Chopping a thousand knives to grab the topic, he said proudly: "Big brother, you don't know yet, right? I have already worshiped President Gu as a teacher, and now I am no longer a lonely wanderer, with the guidance of my master, my cultivation is also constantly improving." ”
Hearing this, Yan Hongchen nodded and said, "President, it's really hard for you to take back a thousand knives." ”
Gu Feng laughed and said: "Although this fat man is a hanger on weekdays, but when he does business, he can be regarded as passable, the old man is too lonely in this branch, and it is not bad to have someone to accompany me to chatter!"
Now, chopping a thousand knives can be regarded as putting his life on the right track, although the two have not been together for a long time, Yan Hongchen also regards him as a friend in his heart, after all, he is the first person he met when he entered the Continent of the Gods in addition to the medicine village.
Chop Qiandao noticed Nangong Yue next to her, her eyes lit up, and she said: "This big beauty, is it the eldest sister-in-law? Ouch hey! Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful, with my eldest brother is really talented and beautiful, envious of others, talented and ladylike, fairy couples, green grass and red flowers......
Looking at the mouth of the thousands of knives and the flooding of the rivers, Yan Hongchen raised his hand to block his greasy and slippery mouth.
Hurriedly said: "Let me introduce, this is my senior sister Nangong Yue, the proud daughter of the sky who worshiped the Qingying Sect and entered the Light Sword Pavilion." ”
Nangong Yue coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Little girl Nangong Yue, I've seen two!"
Who knows, he cut a thousand knives at Yan Hongchen's eyelids, and said again: "Isn't it okay to call the senior sister more children?" ”
When Nangong Yue heard this, it didn't matter, she was still smiling dignifiedly.
Yan Hongchen glared at him coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Fatty, shut your mouth for me, don't you owe it?"
Seeing this, Chop Qiandao said haha: "Oh yes! I suddenly remembered that I still had something to do, so I won't bother a few people." ”
After speaking, he ran away, leaving only three people, Gu Feng beckoned Yan Hongchen and Nangong Yue to sit down, and then made a pot of tea to entertain them.
Yan Hongchen said, "Old Gu, in addition to coming back to visit you this time, I also rushed back to Yincheng after receiving a mission from the sect. ”
Seeing that Yan Hongchen had a question to ask, Gu Feng said: "If there is anything you want to ask, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, the old man is the person in charge of the Yincheng branch after all, and besides, the gods guild is all over the continent, and the intelligence network is also connected, maybe I can help you." ”
Yan Hongchen clenched his fists and said, "That's exactly what the kid thinks, dare to ask the president if he has ever heard of the Blood Demon Sect in the Eastern Regions in the past?"
Hearing this, Gu Feng stopped the teacup in his hand and said solemnly: "Blood Demon Sect, what are you asking these madmen to do? Is this your sect's mission?"
Yan Hongchen nodded and said, "The task sent by the sect this time is to investigate the actions of the Blood Demon Sect, and it is understood that there are traces of the Blood Demon Sect in Yincheng a few days ago. ”
Gu Feng frowned, and said, "This seems to be a bit tricky, the group of madmen of the Blood Demon Sect are not easy to provoke, there have indeed been people from the guild who have gone out on missions recently, but there has been no conflict." ”
Gu Feng was silent for a while, and then spoke again: Not only in Silver City, according to guild intelligence, there are traces of the Blood Demon Sect in the entire Eastern Regions.
The Blood Demon Sect was the overlord of the Eastern Regions back then, and its power was so powerful. Among them, the style of the Blood Demon Sect has made the Eastern Regions even more disrespectful, and there are often slaughtering sects that are murderous and brutal, and even some ordinary people do not let go of their inhumanity, and they even use living beings to cultivate demonic skills, which is really miserable.
It wasn't until the rapid rise of the Blue Shadow Sword Venerable that one person and one sword entered the Blood Demon Sect, and the Blood Demon Sect was removed from the Eastern Regions overnight, and the Eastern Regions were also freed from the rule of the Blood Demon Sect.
However, the members of the Blood Demon Sect are all over the Eastern Regions, and it is almost impossible to annihilate them all, so the Blue Shadow Sect sits in the Eastern Regions in order to eliminate the remnants of the Demon Sect.
Now that the Blood Demon Sect has shown its figure again, it is obvious that there is some plan, when Gu Feng was young, the force he was in had encountered the people of the Blood Demon Sect, because the two sides clashed and then fought a big battle, and in the end, the other party was defeated, and they all chose to blow themselves up and die together, after that battle, Gu Feng was the one who survived by luck.
Even if many years have passed, whenever he talks about the Blood Demon Sect, Gu Feng will have the shadow of the past in his heart, and he will be afraid.
Yan Hongchen asked, "Where did the guild people encounter the Blood Demon Sect people?"
Gu Feng replied: "Just in the depths of the Iron Wood Forest, according to the person who sent out the mission from the guild and came back to tell the characteristics of the people he saw, the old man could almost conclude that he was a member of the Blood Demon Sect. ”
Blood Demon Sect people, because of their cultivation of special exercises, are not allowed to expose their bodies to the sun, so most of them appear in front of people during the day, they are wearing black cloaks to wrap themselves tightly, and even their eyes need to be separated by a layer of black veil.
In addition, because of this, the Blood Demon Sect people rarely appear during the day, because there are too many restrictions on them during the day, and they are mostly active in the night, which also leads to the relatively rare sighting of them.
Yan Hongchen asked curiously, "Then what will happen if they are exposed to the sun?"
Gu Feng said: "Because of the cultivation of the Blood Demon Sect, the body of the Blood Demon Sect is exposed to the sun, and it will instantly turn into ashes and bones, I have seen it with my own eyes back then, and the captured Blood Demon Sect disciples are exposed to the scorching sun. ”
Yan Hongchen hugged his fists and said: "Thank you President for explaining it for me, I am grateful!"
Gu Feng said solemnly: "You kid, you don't need to be polite to the old man, but you have to be careful, investigating the Blood Demon Sect is not a joke." ”
Yan Hongchen thought about it and clenched his fists, and said: "I understand this, then I will temporarily entrust my senior sister to the care of the president, and when I finish my task, I will come back to pick her up and take her back to the sect, and I will trouble the president again." ”
Gu Feng smiled: "This is just a trivial matter, you can rest assured to go, remember to be careful, if you encounter any danger, remember to pass on the sound to come back." ”
As he spoke, Gu Feng handed over a sound-transmitting rune stone, which was a messenger stone commonly used in the Continent of the Gods, and it was also from the hand of the talisman master.
This stone, like a small sound transmission array carved on the spirit stone, can transmit what you want to say to the sound transmission stone on the other side.
This time Yan Hongchen went out on a mission, Qing Muyang also gave Yan Hongchen a sound transmission rune stone, which was convenient for transmitting the results of the mission investigation, and if there was any danger, he could also call for help from the sect in time.
Hearing that Yan Hongchen was going to leave himself in the God Guild, Nangong Yue immediately quit.
Wen said angrily: "You want to leave me here, and then get rid of me and leave quietly, right?"
Yan Hongchen smiled helplessly, and said: "Senior sister, this mission is very likely to be in danger, I didn't let you go with you for the sake of your safety, I promise you, I'll come back to pick you up after I investigate." ”
To put it mildly, Nangong Yue seemed to understand whether she understood or not, nodded and agreed to stay.
After nightfall, Yan Hongchen's figure appeared in the Iron Wood Forest, and Nangong Yue gave him the concealment clothes he was carrying.
With this thing by his side, of course, walking in the dark night is even more powerful, and it is much easier to investigate the Blood Demon Sect.
According to the information provided by the sect and the information given by Gu Feng, the place where Yan Hongchen is now is the place where the Blood Demon Sect has haunted, this is a relatively deep place in the Iron Wood Forest, and the cultivators who usually come here are relatively rare.
Lowering his aura to a minimum, coupled with the powerful subtlety of the Blood Shadow Step, Yan Hongchen wandered above the tall trees, emitting movements that were much lower than those of flying birds.
After shuttling through the dense forest for half an hour, Yan Hongchen stopped and stood on the treetops and muttered, "Could it be that the people of the Blood Demon Sect have already left?"
After wandering for half an hour again, Yan Hongchen, who was originally about to turn back and give up, finally found two breaths in the distance.
Eight hundred meters away from the north and south, I saw two people wearing black cloaks, even if it was dark at the moment, these two people still did not lift their cloaks to show their heads, a small fire was lit in front of them, and they were talking about something.
Lowered his aura to the extreme again, relied on the blood shadow step and slowly touched it, and quietly came to the treetops high above the heads of the two, and saw that the two of them were just flawless minions, so he was a little relieved.
After making sure that they hadn't found themselves, Yan Hongchen poked out his ears and listened to their conversation.
One of them said, "Second brother, I said that the boss is making a little fuss, and he has to let us come here to keep vigil." ”
The other person replied: "Third brother, there must be a reason for the head to give such an order, now is the critical moment for the head to make a breakthrough in cultivation, if he is disturbed, it is very likely that his previous efforts will be wasted." ”
was called the third brother, and said, "Second brother, do you think it is enough to arrest these ordinary people this time?"
Dao, who was called the second brother: "It should be about the same, the blood of these living people should be enough to break through to the Holy Emperor." ”
Yan Hongchen, who was on the treetops, condensed his heart and broke through the Holy Emperor? Could it be that the head they said was already a Saint Monarch cultivator?
The Holy Monarch is not at all what Yan Hongchen can compete with now, even if he breaks through one more holy vein than himself, he may not be able to defeat it easily.
For example, if a peer leader like Qingxu Gongzi breaks through one more holy vein than himself, he will completely crush his own existence.
After thinking about it, Yan Hongchen marked the location of this place, and carefully probed deeper, and found that there was a cave guarded by many people.
Knowing that that place should be the place where the other party's leader cultivated, Yan Hongchen then retreated quickly and silently in the direction he came.
After exiting the Iron Wood Forest, he took out the sound transmission rune stone given by the sect, and after Yan Hongchen injected spiritual power into it, he quickly reacted, and the rune stone emitted a strong white light, revealing the half of Qing Muyang's body at the other end.
Qing Muyang asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that the exploration mission has been fruited so quickly?"
Yan Hongchen replied: "Elder Qing, the results of the investigation have been approximated, according to the information I collected just now, there are people at the peak of the Holy Monarch on the other side, who are cultivating in the cave deep in the Iron Wood Forest outside the Silver City, preparing to break through to the Holy Emperor realm. Among them, I don't know how many ordinary living people were captured for that Blood Demon Sect Holy Monarch to cultivate demonic skills. ”
When Qing Muyang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't act rashly in Yincheng, let alone startle the snake, I will summon the masters of the sect to go to Yincheng, you can just wait for the response, this time it is bound to wipe out the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect." ”
Yan Hongchen nodded and said, "Disciple understands!"
After reporting everything, he got some explanations from Qing Muyang.
Yan Hongchen rushed back in the direction of Yincheng......
