Chen Hai suspected that the Demon God Temple had more elite combat power lurking near Lucheng, but between the northern slopes of the Wusheling Ridge, he and Qi Hanjiang chased two or three hundred miles to the east in the direction of the escape of the Qingyi Daoist and the Black Jiao, and soon found that there was no trace of the Black Jiao flying over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Black Jiao such a spirit beast, even if it does not have huge scale wings or wings, only by virtue of its natural talent for flying clouds and mist, the speed of flying against the wind is not slightly weaker than that of ordinary spirit birds, and it is really easy to get rid of Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang, it is just to move and fight hand-to-hand in a narrow space, not as flexible as some strong martial arts cultivators, but there are a few martial arts cultivators who dare to learn from Chen Hai and fight hand-to-hand with Heijiao for two hours without exhaustion?

Chen Hai is a freak who cannot be measured by common sense.

Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang can still chase two or three hundred miles to the east, mainly because the fierce battle between Heijiao and Chen Hai was not lightly injured, and they couldn't scruple too much when they fled in a hurry, and the huge demon body flew over the sky, which would inevitably drive a strong air current, and the hot Jiao's blood would be sprinkled down, leaving some traces on the age-old glacier at the top of the North Slope.

When the people of Tsing Yi Dao thought of hiding their traces, they only needed to pull up the flight altitude of the black Jiao for more than 1,000 meters, or shuttle and fly between the mountains along the wind, and there would be no more clues.

When Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang returned to Lukai Gorge, they saw Du Linan with more than a dozen horsemen, anxiously inspecting the traces left by yesterday's fierce battle in front of the stone bank under Lukai Gorge.

Seeing Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang coming back, Du Linan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lucheng was closed last night, and no one could enter or exit, we kept watch in the guild hall all night, and rushed over when the city gate opened at dawn - why, the envoy was not in Luheyuan last night?"

Du Linan only cultivated in the later stage of the spiritual realm, and unlike the five surnames of Lucheng, who have so many eyes and ears outside the city, he saw that the thunder and lightning on Luheyuan's side were particularly dense on a stormy night, but he guessed that there was a fierce battle here, but he didn't confirm that it must have been Chen Hai who was ambushed by a strong enemy, and it was just dawn when he galloped over on a fast horse to see what was going on.

Seeing that Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang were safe and sound, Du Linan breathed a sigh of relief, mistakenly thinking that Chen Hai was not in Luheyuan yesterday, and last night's fierce battle had nothing to do with Chen Hai.

"It's not us, who is it?" Qi Hanjiang said angrily, thinking that last night's battle was really dangerous, even if it wasn't Du Linan's informant, he felt that Du Linan was suspected of negligence.

Du Linan didn't have time to pay attention to Qi Hanjiang's rejection of him, and heard Qi Hanjiang say that yesterday's battle was indeed Chen Hai's encounter with a strong enemy in Luheyuan, and he was shocked to see the wolf that left cliffs and rockslides nearby, and it was hard to imagine how fierce the battle was last night.

When Hei Jiao fled, his injuries were not very serious, but the huge demon body was also slashed by Chen Hai in many places, leaving mottled bloodstains between the falling rocks and cliffs, and it also contained the Blazing Sun Demon Yuan, which made it not difficult to imagine how powerful the opponent Chen Hai and they encountered yesterday was.

"The Demon Temple may have more elites lurking nearby. ”

Chen Hai saw that there were still several people nearby to inspect the traces left by yesterday's fierce battle, and he would not blame Du Linan for neglecting his duties at this time, and asked Du Linan to talk about things in a corner that could avoid the eyes and ears of others.

First, Du Linan is a disciple of the Taiwei Sect, there is no need to be responsible for him, and secondly, there are all kinds of signs that the Demon God Temple has so many elite disciples lurking near Lucheng, mainly for the Taiwei Sect and the Dong Clan, Du Linan himself is only a late stage of cultivation in the Spirit Realm, and the manpower that can be called in Lucheng is extremely limited, and it is really normal for the Demon God Temple to hide from Du Linan.

Chen Hai told Du Linan about the appearance of Heijiao and Tsing Yi Daoren.

"Yue Yiran!" Du Linan didn't find out the details of the two powerhouses lurking in Lucheng in the Demon God Temple, mainly because these two people had not appeared in public since they entered Lucheng with the caravan of the Changle City Lord's Mansion, but Du Linan still knew the important people of the Demon God Temple well, and said, " Yue Yiran is the personal disciple of Zhou Nan, the head of the Demon God Temple, and he is the son of the Yue clan of the Tahe Oasis, and he has the courage to capture the tiger and the dragon at an early age, and he entered the Demon God Temple to practice, and it is rumored that at the age of twenty, he opened up the ancestral knowledge sea and stepped into the Ming Realm, and is regarded as the candidate who is most likely to continue the position of the head of the Demon God Temple. The Demon Jiao, even if it is only seventy or eighty years old, is also a rare alien species in Dajin Mountain for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, it was Yue Yiran and the demon beast under him who ambushed the envoy here yesterday. ”

It was precisely because he knew the details of these important figures that Du Linan was even more shocked, he didn't expect that Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang would be able to repel Yue Yiran and the Demon Jiao, which was something that was difficult for people in the Dao Dan Realm to do.

The Yue clan is a small clan in Tahe, and in the early years, they were oppressed and bullied by a large clan, and the clan was almost wiped out. After Yue Yiran's cultivation was successful, one of his royal Jiao broke into the clan land of this enemy, and after killing the other party's master in the late stage of the Ming Realm, he fled with his whole body.

That was already three years ago, and Yue Yiran's cultivation at this time would only become more unfathomable.

Of course, in addition to the shocking fact that Chen Hai repelled Yue Yiran, Du Linan's headache was the previous misjudgment, and he suddenly said in a tricky way: "Yue Yiran has arrived in Lucheng, and there will never be only three or five hundred elites lurking in Lucheng in the Demon God Temple!"

Du Linan has been investigating for so long, and he can generally confirm that there are three or five hundred elites in Lucheng, which are directly controlled by the Demon God Temple or the Tibetan Qiang State, but these three or five hundred elites are mainly based on martial arts cultivation in the Xuan Realm, which is only equivalent to three or five hundred Dao soldiers.

This part of the elite, it seems that it can still affect the situation in Lucheng at present, especially there are two figures at the peak of the Mingqi Realm and even the half-step Dan Realm hiding behind the scenes, but when the real elite army and the Xiqiang royal army under the command of Ye Qinglin arrive under Lucheng City, the role that these three or five hundred elites can play will become extremely limited.

Therefore, in the previous strategy, Du Linan also wanted to help Chen Hai win the support of the Zhao family or the Zhou family, so that he could win Lucheng with lightning speed.

At this time, it seems that the elite of the Demon God Temple lurking near Lucheng is far beyond their imagination.

The Demon God Temple did not make a move in advance, probably because they believed that the Taiwei Sect and the Dong Clan would definitely interfere in the civil war in the Xiqiang Kingdom, they wanted to use Lucheng as a trap, and wait for the reinforcements of the Taiwei Sect and the Dong Clan to step into this trap before they ambushed it!

Thinking about this, Du Linan was also scared into a cold sweat.

Even if the Taiwei Sect and the Hexi Dadu Protectorate would not directly send troops, if the Elite Army and the Ye Clan's Royal Army were ambushed in Lucheng and suffered heavy losses, he would not want to have a successful day in Hexi and the Taiwei Sect in his life.

The biggest question now is where is the elite of the Demon God Temple hiding, and how did it lurk near Lucheng?

The Taiwei Guild Hall has eyeliner in other cities in Pinglu, and Du Linan did not find too many clues.

"The five surnames of Lucheng must have thrown themselves into the Demon God Temple to help hide the elite disciples of the Demon God Temple!" Qi Hanjiang said with a grin.

The neutrality of the five surnames in Lucheng is the result of the five surnames restraining each other, not everyone wants to remain absolutely neutral, Du Linan also suspects that the Zhang family in Lucheng may have secretly fallen to the Demon God Temple, but he was restrained by the other four families and could not express his position publicly, but he didn't think that this group of elites of the Demon God Temple was hidden in the Zhang family's grange outside the city, and said: "The Demon God Temple is not famous for refining weapons, alchemy and talismans, but it has the method of controlling beasts, and almost every elite disciple will train a spirit beast or spirit bird with the same spirit and soul to follow since he was a child. It's like the black Jiao in front of Yue Yiran. The Zhang clan also has several granges outside the city, with more than 100,000 acres of grain fields under its jurisdiction, and it is easy to hide two or three hundred people, or even two or three thousand, but if you want to hide from the vision of others and hide two or three hundred fierce demon beasts, it is impossible not to have a little clue exposed. ”

Speaking of this, Du Linan saw Chen Haizheng frowning and looking at the peaks south of Lukai Gorge, he was also shocked, and asked uncertainly: "The envoy also thinks that the elite disciples of the Demon God Temple are very likely to lurk in the mountains south of Lukai Gorge?"

Chen Hai nodded, he thought of the incident of the Red Eyebrow Sect in Qintong Mountain.

At that time, although there were millions of homeless people gathered in Qintong Mountain, in the eyes of the court ministers and the children of the eight clans in Jingjun, no matter how many homeless people were, they were all vulnerable rabble, but few people would have thought that Heavenly Master Gongliang led more than 1,000 elite disciples of the Red Mei Sect to sneak into Qintong Mountain long ago.

At this time, the Black Yan Army, which competed with the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army in Heyang, Lichuan, and Jiyang, was obtained by integrating millions of displaced people on the basis of more than 1,000 elite disciples of the Red Mei Sect.

The barren mountains south of the Wusheling Mountains are steeper and steeper than the Qintong Mountains, and the snow peaks and glaciers above 10,000 meters abound, even the elite combat power of the Hexi Dao soldiers and the disciples of the Xuan Realm cannot easily climb over the many desperate mountains that are nearly 10,000 miles and most of them are above the snow line, but what if the Demon God Temple is deployed at this time are the most elite disciples who have at least the foundation of the cultivation of the Spirit Clearing Realm?

Such speculation can also explain why the eyes of the Taiwei Sect lurking in Pinglu and Tahe have not found any clues. The Demon God Temple did not borrow troops from the Tahe Oasis (Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom), nor did it borrow from the Tahe River and Pinglu Oasis, who can find clues?

The most important thing now is not to persuade the Lucheng Zhao clan or the Zhou clan to defect to the Taiwei Sect, but to first confirm how many elite combat power the Demon God Temple is lurking in the depths of the mountains south of Lukai Gorge.

If the Demon God Temple gathers three or five hundred elite disciples above the Spirit Clearing Realm, plus the hundreds of fierce demon beasts and demon birds that it controls, even if Hexi dispatches tens of thousands of elite soldiers to aid Pinglu, if there is no vigilance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the dismal end of the collapse.

The Demon God Temple has not forgotten the blood feud twenty years ago, in addition to secretly supporting Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng to subvert the Ye family's royal power, and destroying the marriage between the Dong family and the Ye family, it also wants to directly lure and annihilate the elite soldiers and horses in Hexi!
