After making up his mind, Wu Jixing went to find the contact person left by the Qionglou faction in the Wanjiao area.

As a gang that usually operates in the Guangling area of Yangzhou, Qionghuage naturally has no way to go in the South China Sea. So they had to find a master to stay in Wanjiao to help them contact various forces, exchange intelligence, and communicate relations.

This master is the true disciple of the Qionglou faction, and in terms of seniority, he is Wu Jixing's uncle-or aunt, named Sun Qiongyu.

"Xingqiong visited Uncle Shi, during this time, it was really hard for you to trouble Uncle Shi to run in many ways and collect intelligence!"

The Qionglou sect master who looked half-white and looked quite old smiled: "I am a little ashamed of what you said. People in the south often say, 'There are three sufferings in the world: supporting the boat, striking iron, and grinding tofu', and you sail on the sea, and you have to face the dangers of sea beasts, monsters, and strong winds and waves from time to time. You haven't claimed to be working hard, so what am I worth?"

Wu Jixing also smiled when he said this, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The disciples of the Qionglou sect are divided into two levels: the outer gate and the true transmission. The outer disciples do not need to change their names, and the inner disciples will add the word "Qiong" to their names. Roughly speaking, this generation of the word "Qiong" comes first, and the next generation is the word "Qiong" last, alternating in turns.

For example, this uncle, she is the tenth generation disciple of the Qionglou faction, formerly known as Sun Guanyu, so in the internal name of the Qionglou faction, she is Sun Qiongyu. And Wu Jixing is a generation lower than her, and the word "Joan" is the last place in the name, but Wu Jixing doesn't like the inexplicable name of "Jiqiong", so the name of the faction was "Xingqiong".

Based on the situation of the Qionglou faction in front of him, if nothing else, the next person to become a true disciple should be Wu Cuigu, and she will most likely become "Wu Cuiqiong" at that time.

Although the Qionglou faction was once glorious, but now it is withered, there are only three generations of five disciples, one in the ninth generation, who is already old and decrepit, and is currently sitting in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and is sorting out his life experience and writing notes for future generations. The three of the tenth generation are the façade of the Qionglou faction.

These three are also known as "Qionglou Sanying", and they are all famous congenital masters in Yangzhou.

Sun Qiongyu is the head of the three heroes of Qionglou, cultivated in his early forties, and is currently just over 100 years old, and has been famous for more than 60 years. For congenital masters, it is almost the end of the "prime" stage.

She had been seriously injured and damaged her foundation. After so many years of cultivation, he only barely repaired his injuries, but the "body differences" among the four congenital differences have never been cultivated, and they have not been able to achieve perfection.

Now that she is an elder of the Qionglou faction, she is basically doing everything on behalf of the Qionglou faction.

After all, the other two of Qionglou Sanying still had the hope of cultivating into real people, so unless there was really something important, no one would disturb their cultivation.

This time, Qionghua Pavilion went to the South China Sea to experience and try his luck, and he didn't plan to trouble the elders. But after Sun Qiongyu got the news, he offered to help, and Wu Jixing naturally didn't want to refuse.

She thought about it and finally decided to ask this uncle to stay in Wanjiao City and help collect intelligence.

The master and uncle are more than 100 years old, and they still go to sea with a group of young people, and they are not well fed and slept well, which is really unreasonable!

Sun Qiongyu naturally understands that Xingqiong is taking care of herself, and she doesn't have the so-called "disobedience to the old" meaning of ordinary people, but when she collects intelligence, she becomes more and more serious, and often when she gets a piece of news, she has to find a way to confirm it again, so as to be sure that there is no problem.

The two talked for almost an hour, roughly understanding the situation in the South China Sea during this time, and then discussed what to do next.

"According to various sources, the last time the snake demon was found was in a port called 'Mangrove' in the west. Some speculate that it has landed on land and is on its way to Jingzhou. But the people from the Purple Cloud Palace said that several demon kings along the way didn't find that there were big demons passing by...... Although the Purple Cloud Palace has always been arrogant and domineering, it should not be able to deceive people in this kind of thing. So I thought, you can go to Mangrove Harbor and have a look. ”

Wu Jixing nodded: "What Uncle Shi said is reasonable, but now...... There's already a lot of people going to Mangrove Harbor, right?"

"It's a lot. The news came almost ten days ago. ”

"Then even if we get there now, it may be too late. Wu Jixing said, "I think it's better to wait a little longer than to rush away." If nothing else, there should be new news coming in the next few days. ”

Sun Qiongyu was slightly stunned: "New news?"

"That's right. The snake demon was very cunning, and he left his hometown alone, but he was not caught for such a long time, which shows that the means are extraordinary. With such a powerful character, do you believe that clues can be easily found, and clues are still spread everywhere?"

Sun Qiongyu shook her head: "To be honest, I don't believe it much. So when I got the news, I confirmed it through several channels, and finally determined that there was indeed a trace of a snake demon in the innate realm near Mangrove Harbor. ”

"The innate realm snake demon and the demon close to the real realm are two different things. Wu Jixing said, "I think the news this time may be that the snake demon is suspicious. ”

“...... But even if it is suspicious, where can it go? From the South China Sea to Jingzhou, the road is mostly poor mountains and bad waters, deep mountains and dense forests. Not only are there many demon kings, but there are even several demon gods. These monsters have clashed with the South China Sea Demon Clan more than once, and they are so xenophobic that they will never allow them to borrow from now on. ”

"I don't think it's going to Jingzhou," Wu said. Instead, turn from the South China Sea and go to Yunzhou or Yangzhou. Even...... Go to Tianzhu. ”

Sun Qiongyu thought for a while and said, "It's not possible to go to Yunzhou and Tianzhu. Gu magic and witchcraft are prevalent on both sides, and they are quite unique in dealing with snakes and insects. Even if it is strong, it can be tricked if it does not understand the local methods. Since it is cunning, it will not go to these places that are too dangerous for itself. ”

"In other words, Uncle Shi, do you think it will go to Yangzhou?"

Sun Qiongyu nodded: "If your judgment is right, it really doesn't plan to go to Jingzhou, then its target may be Yangzhou." And if this is analyzed on the premise, the clue on the side of Mangrove Harbor this time may be that it is luring the masters of Great Xia to the west, so that it is convenient for them to take the road to the east. ”

Wu Jixing smiled: "If I don't get more news next, I'm going to set off in three days and head to the area of Eastern Cape City." It is the capital of the South China Sea and is even more well-informed. If the basilisk is going to show its feet, it's easiest to get the news in Cape City. ”

"Then I'll go to Cape City too. Sun Qiongyu said, "It's just ...... In Cape City, there is a real grandmaster of the imperial court, which is completely different from the situation here. Be careful over there!"

She seemed a little worried - the imperial court's attitude towards the green forest was not friendly, especially after the chaos of the Dragon Boat Festival last year, how the imperial court looked at the green forest and how unpleasant.

Although Qionghua Pavilion is relatively disciplined in the green forest, and the main livelihood can be regarded as "law-abiding" - at least pay taxes every year, but in any case, the green forest is the green forest.

If she could, she really didn't want Qionghua Pavilion to go to Cape City.

"It is precisely because Cape City has the masters of the imperial court that the snake demon is more likely to hide there. Wu Jixing analyzed, "Everyone knows that the imperial court doesn't like green forests now. Unless the masters of the green forest are in their own locality, they generally try to avoid the masters of the imperial court. Wouldn't Cape City be relatively safe for that snake demon?"

Sun Qiongyu nodded again and again...... This time, she was really completely convinced.

Pan Long was in the sky, watching Wu Jixing visit Sun Qiongyu and leave, just nodding slightly, but he didn't mean to go down to meet her.

This time, the real grandmasters of all forces reached a tacit understanding, everyone was guarding in secret, and unless they encountered a last resort, they would never make a move, and control the battle at the innate level as much as possible.

In a battle at the innate level, even if it is fought more tragically, hundreds of casualties are almost the limit. But if a real grandmaster did it, even if it was just the aftermath of the battle, he could easily kill hundreds or thousands of people. If the two Masters of Heaven and Man fought with all their might, it would not be strange that the aftermath of the battle would destroy the city and set off an earthquake and tsunami.

Not to mention, last year, Pan Long confronted three senior real people such as the ancestor of the Cang family in the sky above Nanxia City, and in order to defeat the enemy, he sacrificed the magic weapon "Golden Crow Fire Flag". If it weren't for the fact that he deflected the direction of the attack at the critical moment, and there was a "drunken immortal" Chen Yan watching over him in secret, if the pillar of fire hit the ground, in just one moment, half of the Southern Xia City would be turned into a sea of fire, and there might not be one in a hundred people who could survive in the flame range.

Therefore, real grandmasters will generally fight in the wilderness as much as possible, or go to the high altitude to fight.

And this South China Sea ...... Although it seems that many sea areas are deserted, in fact, if a master like Pan Long fights with all his might, it is easy to set off huge waves and turn into a tsunami that sweeps all directions.

God knows how many innocents will be affected!

Therefore, Pan Long is very supportive of the unwritten agreement that "the real grandmaster will not come forward".

Everyone else is secretly watching, and he is also secretly watching.

After three days like this, news came that the snake demon appeared farther to the west again, but it seemed to be heading in the direction of Yunzhou.

People from all walks of life rushed further west, but Wu Jixing took Qionghuage and his party and sailed eastward to Haijiao City.

The ship traveled quickly, and only two days later, the people of Qionghua Pavilion arrived at Cape City.

Located at the end of Jingnan Avenue, the city is the most important city in the South China Sea. The city is surrounded by farmland, and nearly one-third of the grain of the entire South China Sea is produced every year, and a large amount of food is supplied to all parts of the South China Sea, plus all kinds of other materials transported along the Jingnan Avenue, it is no exaggeration to say that Haijiao City is the absolute core of the area ruled by the Great Xia in the South China Sea!

There are more than 10 large and small ports, which can accommodate thousands of ships to berth and replenish. It is said that the Imperial Court also planned to further expand the castle as a base for further expansion into the South China Sea.

There is also a theory that the imperial court intends to add two prefectures in addition to Kyushu, one is the "Liangzhou" in the northwest, which is commonly referred to as the northern land, and the other is the "Jiaozhou" in the south, which is commonly known as the South China Sea.

The capital of Liangzhou is uncertain for the time being, and the most likely is to choose one of the several important towns on the Jincheng defense line as the capital to facilitate the continued expansion of the territory. And the capital of Jiaozhou, if nothing else, is Haijiao City.

These news are not secret, and it can even be said that the news that "Haijiao City will become the capital of Jiaozhou" on this side of the South China Sea is almost well known.

Therefore, the residents of Cape City are usually a little proud - after all, it is the capital, and the people in the city look at the countrymen, and naturally feel that they are superior.

Not to mention the world of Kyushu, which is still in a feudal society, and there are really high and low levels between people, even if Pan Long has realized the great federation of the solar system in his previous life, there is complete equality between people in law, and there will inevitably be regional discrimination and racial discrimination.

A typical example is that the inhabitants of the earth generally look down on the interstellar inhabitants and think that they are all countrymen.

And within the inhabitants of the earth, those who live in traditional metropolises look down on those who live in small and medium-sized cities, and feel that the other party is a countryman.

As for the residents of the metropolis, there is naturally regional discrimination...... That's very complicated, roughly "you are also worthy of being called Rome" or "Lao Tzu's ancestors planted rice and painted pottery 10,000 years ago, and your ancestors were still on the trees at that time" and so on......

But for Qionghua Pavilion and his party from Guangling, Yangzhou, a famous city in the world, the residents of Haijiao City can't afford to put up a shelf for the people in the city.

If you want to put on a score in front of the people of Guangling, probably only Shendu people have that confidence, even if it is the "Gyeonggi people" of the four acropolis in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the confidence is a little worse.

But do all the gods have ordinary residents?

It doesn't seem to be ......

Wu Jixing got off the ship with his men and horses, and first went to the "Sea Ship Management Division" of the imperial court to report - theoretically, in any port in the South China Sea, ships must be reported after they are berthed, but in fact, the people of the green forest do not know this rule at all, that is, Haijiao City has a real master of the imperial court, so they have to bow their heads.

The imperial court officials, who were responsible for managing the ships at sea, were also very unkind to these green forest people.

The thin official dragged on for a long time before completing the formalities for Qionghuage and his party. The most angry thing is that when Ding Laohum secretly stuffed him with a silver ticket, he didn't even look at it, so he threw the silver ticket on the ground and said coldly: "Take it back! A certain family has sores on his hands, and he can't touch this blood-stained money!"
