At the foot of the Cockscomb Mountain, where Hua Mantang and the heroic woman parted before, Hua Mantang stood here alone, looking anxious, if there were Sanyangmen disciples here, I am afraid that he would not believe it, Hua Mantang, who has always been known for his steady work, would also have such an urgent demeanor.

At this time, there is still an hour before the appointment with the heroic woman, so to speak, time is more than enough, however, the heroic woman is not here.

Knowing his wife Mo Ruofu, Hua Mantang knows that with his wife's temper, unless he encounters great force majeure, it is impossible to break the appointment, especially, he has looked around, there is no sign left by any lady, he and his wife have long had an agreement, if something happens, then when the lady retreats, there will be a unique, only he can understand the mark left, in order to indicate the direction of departure.

But here it is bare, there is nothing, and the same is true within a radius of three miles.

Hua Mantang is not without discovery, on the eastern meadow, found some horseshoe prints, but very messy, it seems, at least dozens of horses passed by here, but when Hua Mantang chased to the main road, there was a three-way intersection in front, one to the east, one to the north, and one to the south.

What's even more anxious is that when I got here, I don't know if those horseshoe prints are because of the long time, and I can't tell where they are going.

Hua Mantang was not an indecisive man, he first chased south, and after an hour, he returned here and began to chase east, and this time after two hours, he was back here.

This time to the south, he chased all the way to a post station, and after inquiring, he didn't get any clues.

This time, he chased him to a small county town, but after inquiring in an inn, he didn't get anything useful.

He originally wanted to search the entire small county town, but he was a little worried that the pursuit would be delayed, so he finally returned to the three-way intersection as fast as he could, and then went north as fast as he could.

He didn't know that in the small county town called Dongyang in the east, the county magistrate's house was entertaining distinguished guests.

This group of distinguished guests has just arrived, and their whereabouts seem to be very secretive, it is a whole team, if Sheng Gray is here, you will find that this is Yang Xiangle's group of people, and in their team, in a carriage, there is a woman lying down, who looks like she has fallen asleep, her face is full of heroism, but between her eyebrows, there seems to be bursts of black mist oozing out.

It has been more than half a month since he left Yanweidu, and Sheng Shen had heard Lou Yanxin say that there was still at least half a month to go before Qiujing City.

Along the way, the team was surrounded by a solemn emotion, and what they saw along the way was really unpleasant.

They passed through a total of six counties, and there were twenty-three counties and forty-four villages along the way, but among them, there were three county towns and seven villages, all of which suffered a tragic situation like Gaohu Village, and among the county seats, it was also quite similar to Shunxing City, Yueyang County, Southern Zhou State, as Zhao Denggao said.

All of this is related to that kind of black mist, or the slaughter of monsters wrapped in black mist, or a large black mist that appears out of nowhere, directly and silently, killing all the living beings in the entire county, or in the entire county town, except for the black mist, there is no living being, even the corpse is gone, as if this is a completely empty city.

In Qiushui China, on Yangguan Road, you can see constantly moving troops everywhere, Qiushu did not reveal his identity, but his face became worse day by day, and later, he simply didn't say a word for several days.

A few days ago, Li Xinzhu told him in a soul voice that their team had been blocked on the Cockscomb Mountain for a few days, and they really couldn't see it, and they wanted to make a detour, but the black fog shrouded in the Cockscomb Mountain suddenly disappeared inexplicably.

And the birds, beasts, etc., which had appeared before were all wrapped in black mist, were also gone.

The team immediately seized this opportunity and walked along the road around the mountain at the fastest speed, but unexpectedly, when they were down the mountain, they also picked up a woman with a heroic face, I don't know why, this woman looked like she was asleep, breathing, but in the skin of her eyes and eyebrows, there was black intent oozing.

The leader of the team is a person named Qian Shuique, this person is a hundred people under Huang Wanli, the peak cultivation of Dawutong, and in the end, he made a decision to bring this woman who couldn't wake up with him, and the rest of the people were a little opposed, thinking that it would delay the time to catch up with Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, but Qian Shuique was very insistent, and I don't know why.

In the end, he still took this woman with him, at that time, when reporting to him, their team had arrived in a small county town called Dongyang City, Qian Shuique secretly contacted the county order, and ordered him to block the news of their entry into the city, just stayed for a few hours, made supplies, and quickly went on the road.

For what Li Xinzhu said, Sheng Shen didn't care much, that Dongyang City, he knew, they had also passed there, at that time, even the county order was not alarmed, just passed through the city at the fastest speed, and did not attract anyone's attention.

Sheng Gray's attention at this time, nine times out of ten, was attracted by the tragic scenes he saw on the road.

In every place where there is black mist, when no one notices, Sheng Shen always finds an opportunity to investigate, everywhere he goes, he can run the demonic qi absorbed by the Yuan Demon Sutra, he has inhaled it into his body, but there are also some demonic qi, as if something is behind his back, when he just showed the intention of refining, except for those who could not escape, the rest sank directly into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

This made Sheng Shen quite helpless, and at the same time made him vigilant, so it seems that these demonic qi are not like a dead thing, but like an army commanded by others, if they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will retreat.

Sheng Shen didn't know if he was thinking right, but if this was really the case, it would be troublesome, and what was even more troublesome was that he wanted to remind Qiu Shu of these things, but he didn't know how to say it, because there were many things involved that couldn't be explained at all.

These days, although Sheng Shen can see the Xuanyu Lord every day, but the Xuanyu Lord is indifferent every time, not only to him, even to anyone, the most read is not books, or the great sun in the sky, whether it is sunrise, or midday, or sunset.

Sheng Shen couldn't see anything from Lord Xuanyu's expression, he just had a feeling that the little girl's mood was also very bad, in this case, Sheng Shen didn't want to say these things he knew, maybe the little girl's mood would be even worse.

For more than half a month, in the purple gold divine aperture in Sheng Gray's body, the sharp gold divine crystal finally gradually tended to be complete, and at most, it could be completely condensed within three or two days.

And the Demon Source Crystal refined by the Yuan Demon Sutra, all that was left was sucked into the bone marrow by him, and his body was also changing day by day, after absorbing and refining so much Demon Qi, the Demon Source Crystal could not be considered less, but the color of his bones did not change at all, as if the process of changing bones did not start at all.

However, Sheng Shen knew that this was not the case at all, if he exerted all his strength at this time, the speed was already fast, and in an instant, he could cross a distance of more than ten zhang, if a mortal slave watched, I am afraid that he would think that he had a doppelganger technique, Gain, at that moment, he would find that there was a him more than ten zhang away, and in the same place, there was also a him, and it would not be seen after a breath that he disappeared in the same place.

And the strength of his body has also reached a new realm, how big it is, he has not experimented, but there is a clear feeling.

As for Xiao Hei and Xiao Lei, there is nothing new to teach him, every time he enters that space, what he hears is Xiao Lei constantly repeating what he said before, as for Xiao Hei, it is silent, unless it is his conscious request, Xiao Hei will repeat the first stage of bone change in the Yuan Demon Sutra that he said before, otherwise, Xiao Hei is as if it does not exist at all, and continues to maintain his posture that is even darker than darkness.

These things to improve their own strength step by step are one of the only two things that make Sheng Ash feel gratified, and there is another, that is, the little horn is finally not so sleepy, although the time to sleep every day is still very long, but it is not always sleeping, there are always so many hours every day, after eating enough, play with Sheng Gray, and then continue to sleep in Sheng Gray's hair.

These days, Lou Yanxin rarely looks for him, and the busiest is the few female flame guards who follow, every day, they are either waiting for the order to carry out the mission, or on the way to perform the task, and every time the news they bring back, it makes Qiu Shu's face even more gloomy.

The place where they are now is to the west of a mountain range called Wanwan Mountain, and after crossing Wanwan Mountain, you can reach an official road, and along that official road, you can go straight to Qiujing City.

The team resupplied in a post station at the foot of Wanwan Mountain, and immediately entered Wanwan Mountain.

It was still Lou Yanxin who opened the way in front, Sheng Shen broke in the back, and Huang Wanli was responsible for the overall arrangement of the entire team.

Wanwan Mountain is not high, far from being comparable with Jiguan Mountain, only more than 200 zhang high, the team entered the mountain in the afternoon, and when it was close to the top of the mountain, the sky was already dark.

Sheng Shen suddenly raised his head, and in the sky, flakes of snow fell.
