The garrison of the Dead Charm Army, in a military tent in the rear.

At this moment, on the main seat of the military tent, there is a figure sitting, I saw his eyes slightly closed, and the fingers of his right hand on the table moved lightly, constantly knocking on the tabletop, and there was no joy or anger on his calm face.

This person is the absolute controller of the Dead Demon Army - Sima Xun!

In front of Sima Xun's seat, there were two figures kneeling on the ground, motionless, with fine beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering this Hou Ye, who controlled their life and death.

The two people kneeling, one was a cloaked man, one of Sima Xun's guards, and the other was Zhong Mei, the general of the Dead Charm Army.

Because of Gu Feng's intervention, Zhong Mei not only failed to capture Qianxun, but also lost two six-rank spirit realm and a junior spirit cultivation powerhouse in the Yue Spirit Realm. Such a huge loss all stemmed from a young man who had cultivated in the Five-Rank Spirit Realm, and when Sima Xun heard the news, he almost killed the two people who fled back on the spot.

Two six-rank spirit realms, two junior cross-spirit realms, sent such a strong man to go out to arrest some hairy boys, but in the end, they lost three people, and they were killed by the same person, and this murderer turned out to be a teenager who only cultivated in the five-grade spirit realm!

"Are you sure that the young man's identity is Gu Feng, the son of Hou Gu Ting of the Great Jing Dynasty?" On the main seat, Sima Xun slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, his face was still calm, and he asked slowly.

"Master Hou, that person signed up as Gu Feng. According to the information we got before, Gu Feng, the son of Gu Ting, may indeed appear in the Fifth Military Region to participate in the trial of the hunting competition, not to mention that there is no need for him to lie about his name, so I guess that his identity is not far from ten, and it should be Gu Feng, the son of Gu Ting. Zhong Mei replied cautiously.

"If this person is really Gu Feng, the son of Gu Ting, then our previous information is still a little wrong, and it seems that our evaluation of him needs to be changed. If we don't get rid of a teenager with such terrifying combat power, it will not be a good thing for us to grow up. Sima Xun's eyebrows showed a hint of worry, a kid who had not yet broken through to the Yue Ling Realm actually had the combat power to kill the powerhouses of the primary Yue Ling Realm, this battle was probably a rare existence among his peers. If such an opponent can grow up smoothly, I am afraid that there will be one more terrible enemy for the Lingwu Dynasty.

"You have made such a mistake, if it weren't for the fact that this is an extraordinary time, and it is the time to employ people, I will not spare it. Sima Xun said coldly: "Pass the order, the whole army of the Dead Charm Army has entered a first-level combat state, no one is allowed to act without authorization, wait for my order, if there is a violation, the military law will deal with it; ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" Hearing Sima Xun's words, the two people who had been kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and respectfully withdrew from the military tent, no matter what, now their lives are saved. Their marquis is unpredictable, and his methods are extremely ruthless, and now he can escape by luck in his hands, which is really lucky.

"Ji Lao, what do you think about this matter?" Just after Zhong Mei and the others withdrew from the military tent, Sima Xun asked slowly.

"If it's really as the two of them reported, then I'll go on a trip and get him back. On Sima Xun's side, the figure of the old man appeared out of thin air, looked at the military tent and said lightly.

"Ji Lao doesn't know, according to the news I got some time ago, this kid has contributed a lot to the obstruction of the route of our army's Dayan Pass, and he even made a lot of contributions to the incident when the Shacheng army entered Longwang Mountain, and the Dragon King Sect Sect Master Wu Jutian was made mad, and was imprisoned by the old man Kurong. These two major events are all with the figure of this kid, I'm afraid that the high-level leaders of Shacheng have already paid close attention to him, if you make a move at this time, it will definitely alarm those strong cultivators hidden in Shacheng, so it's better not to touch him now. Sima Xun showed a faint sense of confidence, and said: "Use the eight people we captured as bargaining chips to put pressure on the Shacheng side and force them to hand over the death pass; ”

"Master Hou, I'm afraid that Shacheng will not compromise easily, after all, the death of the city is a key battle in the battle situation of the Fifth Military Region, and then it can affect the war situation between the two Koreas. Compared with the safety of the eight people in our hands, which is more important, I think Yang Hongkun will not understand. Ji Lao paused slightly, and then said: "If the Shacheng side is unwilling to give up the pass, but chooses to take a risk and secretly send someone to rescue these eight people, it is not impossible." ”

"Ji Lao's worry is not unreasonable, as far as Yang Hongkun's character is concerned, it is unlikely that he can compromise. Therefore, we have to prepare with both hands, the Dead Charm Army is ready to attack the city in an all-out way at any time, and break through the Death Pass first for the follow-up Lingwu Army; Sima Xun smiled faintly and said, "My net has been rolled out, and now I'm waiting for the prey to collide." ”

The Fifth Military Region, Shacheng!

With the return of Gu Feng and Chihiro, the news that the hunting personnel were captured by the people of the Lingwu Dynasty also reached Yang Hongkun.

Yang Hongkun, who had a premonition that there was a huge conspiracy behind this matter, understood it when he received a letter from the Dead Charm Army later; as expected, Sima Xun wanted to exchange the lives of these eight people for the death of a city. However, as Ji Lao said, Yang Hongkun did not compromise, but planned to send someone to the garrison of the Dead Charm Army to save people.

The Castle Lord's Mansion...

"Lin Lao, this rescue is very important, who do you think is safer to lead the team?" Yang Hongkun looked solemn and said: "In this rescue trip, the eight people must ensure that nothing goes wrong, even if they lose one of their lives, the consequences are unimaginable." If this matter is reported back to Jingdu, I am afraid it will cause a great upheaval. ”

"Military commander, the hunting competition stipulates that the people participating in the hunting competition will live or die on the battlefield, and even if these people have an emergency, the consequences will not be so serious. Lin Lao was also a little suspicious and said: "What's more, these people are not sent out by us, do we need to be fully responsible for the Fifth Military Region?"

"The rules of the hunting tournament are true, but if our Fifth Military Region chooses not to rescue them when they know that they have been captured by the enemy, then they will not die on the battlefield, but die in our sight of death. Yang Hongkun continued: "The background of these people is not simple, if we don't handle it properly, it is inevitable that we will tell the truth and make a fuss about this matter." ”

"But even so, at this time of war turmoil, Jingdu side, they should be able to understand our decision. Lin Lao insisted: "Military commander, I'm not shirking my responsibility, we must save people, but no one is 100% sure that we can save all eight people; once things are out of our control, if one or two things happen, we can't argue." ”

"So in this rescue, I want to send the most suitable personnel to make sure that nothing goes wrong. This rescue trip is like snatching people in front of the Hades Palace, one careless, not only failed to rescue people, it is very likely that our rescue team will all take it in. I don't believe that Sima Xun, an old fox, will not be prepared with both hands, and if he wants to save people from him, he can't do it without a lot of effort. Yang Hongkun shook his head and said, "The current situation does not allow us to choose, Lin Lao, let's talk about the candidate in your heart." ”

"Military commander, this rescue trip is extraordinary, most of the spiritual cultivators in the city have no right to mobilize, the last time about Longwang Mountain, Master Ku and the three elders of the Tie family only agreed to it in the face of you, the commander of the military region. If it's this rescue, I don't think it will work. Lin Lao was a little embarrassed and said: "In the Dead Charm Army, because there is Sima Xun in charge and belongs to his guard, there are many strong cultivators. ”

Although there are many strong cultivators in Shacheng, most of them have absolute freedom of action, and unless Shacheng is threatened, it is difficult for them to make a move. What's more, this rescue of the Dead Charm Army is an expedition to the tiger's den in Longtan, and who will easily risk it?

"Elder Lin, we really don't have the right to transfer the spiritual cultivators in Sand City, but... That person shouldn't belong to the people in the city, right?" Yang Hongkun seemed to remember something, and said: "When I saved him, he said that he would repay me for this life-saving grace, for so many years, I have never been willing to use this favor, and now, I can only use this favor." ”

"Military commander, do you mean the person in the dungeon?" Lin Lao was shocked: "That's a madman, once he makes a move, he can't hold it back, let him go to the rescue, I think you sent a killing god to Sima Xun, have you forgotten what happened back then?"

"Lin Lao, what happened back then was just a fuse, not the main cause. What's more, the grievances between him and Sima Xun should also be understood. His appearance may be able to catch Sima Xun off guard. Yang Hongkun sighed: "The reason why he has been staying in my Shacheng dungeon all these years and refuses to leave, in addition to repaying me for saving my life, I am afraid that he is also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to break off with Sima Xun." You must know that Sima Xun is notoriously cautious, his whereabouts have always been erratic, elusive, and there are many strong spiritual cultivators working for him, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to him. Now that he's in the realm of the dead, do you think the one in the dungeon can still sit still?"

"Military commander, hearing you say this, there is still some truth in thinking about it, in this way, he can not only repay you a favor, but also settle the grievances with Sima Xun by the way, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Lin Lao nodded, and said with admiration and approval: "This person's name was resounding in all directions back then, I don't know how many people still remember it after so many years." ”

"Yes, it's been so many years, maybe the passage of time can wear away a little bit of his edge, otherwise, Sima Xun will have a headache. Yang Hongkun let out a long sigh and said, "Elder Lin, without further ado, come with me to the dungeon now." ”
