Chapter 463: Faster Than Whom
Suddenly, there was Bai Zongfei, which did save them a lot of information.
Because they were worried that the Shangtu Sect was targeting the Desolate Beast Clans, they had also been monitoring it, but they didn't want to provoke it. Now they can already determine a lot of the direction and target of the Shang Tu Sect's movement at this moment.
By marking these points on the map, there is a vague range.
Originally, Xu Ye thought that this was already an unexpected gain, but he didn't expect Bai Zongfei to have more important information, that is, the real "base camp" of Shang Tu Sect.
The Shang Tu Sect was in the territory of the desolate beasts, and if they encountered a large-scale attack by demons and desolate beasts, they would immediately be in a crisis, even so, they still needed to gather the most important heavenly and earthly treasures for easy management, which was inevitable for any large organization.
As Shang Tuzong became more and more familiar with the territory of the desolate beasts, coupled with the key counterattack expeditions, it was already possible to have a very stable location that was not easy to change.
But now the "base camp" is no longer their foundation, the scale of the Holy Mountain City is far above the wandering Shangtu Sect, and they want to swallow the top of the high-level Holy Dragon, and they themselves know how troublesome it will be.
At the beginning, Shang Tuzong could only compete with the top of the Holy Dragon, and the plan was finally implemented after so many years, which showed that they did not dare to be careless. This operation also required the masters to be divided into two groups, because Hong Tian led the team into the city first.
Xu Ye didn't have to think about it to know that the others would all be thrown into the ambush, and the base camp provided by Yun Zongfei could not have many masters except for the magic array.
Xu Ye looked at the newly added most conspicuous markers on the map, and already recognized a lot of ideas in his head.
The team is not without doubts about the sudden appearance of Yun Zongfei, but this aspect is left to the sixth girl and the seventh girl Yun to make up the story. Seeing that Xu Ye and Wei Zhanhai had no objections to this new young man and seemed to be chatting quite openly, of course others would not talk much.
Relying on the strange treasures of the Cloud-winged Crane Clan, his transformation did not show the slightest flaw, and no one thought that he would be a desolate beast cultivator. So as long as it doesn't reduce their gains in the team.
With the guidance of Yun Zongfei, their exploration is more efficient. Moreover, the Cloud-winged Crane Clan has been entangled with the Shang Tu Sect for decades, and they know each other's methods very well, helping Xu Ye bypass many traps.
At the same time, Yun Zongfei also has a list of masters who have been fighting with Shang Tu Sect for a long time, and after comparing it with the masters who have entered the Holy Mountain City, he can guess who are still on the periphery at the moment.
After spending a day reconfirming, Xu Ye and Wei Zhanhai made up their minds to immediately report the information they had at hand to Fang Qinglong. Now that they can roughly determine the overall strength of the Shangtu Sect and the location of the ambush, they are also prepared and confident if they really want to start a war.
Killing a wild beast again satisfied everyone's appetite, and no one objected when they heard the decision to go home. At this moment, everyone has made a lot of money, although some people who directly follow the team's chamber of commerce have changed to spirit stones and magic weapons, but the sooner they return to the Holy Mountain City, they can settle down and enjoy it as soon as possible.
However, after they spent another day approaching the Holy Mountain City and making contact with the other teams, they found that Shang Tu Sect was moving faster.
On the morning of the same day, Fang Qinglong personally led the masters of the Holy Dragon Peak and the elders of the Shang Tu Sect to the stronghold of the Shang Tu Sect in the past, and returned all the heavenly materials and earth treasures collected by the Shang Tu Sect for more than a hundred years to the Holy Mountain City, many of which will be attributed to the top of the Holy Dragon as a common material for everyone, for this reason, the Shang Tu Sect can be exchanged for a better status, including the decision-making position of several Holy Mountain City affairs.
On the surface, this is a very reasonable deal, and it is also the second step for the Holy Dragon Peak and the various forces of the Shang Tu Sect to increase trust, but of course Xu Ye and the others are sure that this is the conspiracy of the Shang Tu Sect.
"How could it be that the Holy Lord personally led the team, he should be at the top of the Holy Dragon, right? "Wei Zhanhai has some six gods and no masters, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
Originally, the Holy Lord sent them out of the city to investigate, and he would decide the final attitude towards Shang Tu Sect based on the return of the two. But now that he is personally leading the team out of the city, who do they ask to report back?
Going straight to the camp?The people of the Shangtu Sect will definitely find that they don't have the opportunity to contact the Holy Lord privately.
"We must go into the city first, on the one hand, to inquire about the changes in the Holy Mountain City in the past few days. On the other hand, it depends on whether the people in the city have any direct contact with the Lord of the Holy Dragon. ”
"We can't turn back now, we have to let the team return to the city naturally without arousing anyone's suspicion. ”
Yun Zongfei proposed: "Then I and the Seventh Girl should stay outside the city." Now the location of the city gate must be an important thing for the people of Shang Tu Sect to keep an eye on, and it is not surprising that the team is attacked, but two more people who have never appeared in the Holy Mountain City will attract attention. ”
Xu Ye and Wei Zhanhai didn't want to agree immediately. Yun Zongfei's proposal solved their big problem.
Although he wanted to cooperate with the Holy Mountain City to fight against the Shangtu Sect, he was still the master of the Desolate Beast Clan in the end, and let him enter the Holy City in a big way, not to mention the risk, he couldn't let the family see the Holy Mountain City from the inside.
Yun Zongfei's proposal was a charcoal in the snow for Xu Ye, but in the process of sending this wave of charcoal, he saw his intelligence. This person must not be underestimated, maybe the next battle between the Holy Mountain City and the Desolate Beast will be used by him to use some information that he will ignore.
Now he himself said that he would stay outside the city, which was good to everyone and saved the face of cooperation.
The two led the team back to the city, and their team immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In the past few days, there are actually a lot of teams coming in and out of the big city gate, but they are all full of plants, although the more the team goes out of the city in the later stage, the less they harvest, but few people encounter the attack of the desolate beast.
They were the team that suffered the most in the past few days, and even the captain of their team was seriously injured. Even the guardians of the Holy Dragon's Peak were alarmed to come to inquire about the information.
Records know where they have encountered the mighty beasts, and then leave, and they will officially warn all hunting parties to be careful not to go to that area.
When Xu Ye came back, he didn't tell everyone to hide all this information, so as not to make a big deal out in case the confession was not uniform.
After that, in addition to sending the captain to recuperate from his injuries, they decisively disbanded the entire team. Shang Tuzong didn't see the six disciples under their sect, and he definitely wouldn't believe that they were attacked by desolate beasts and died, but if they wanted to find out what was going on, they would need to find members of multiple squads and ask them.
And the network resources are what the Shang Tu Sect, which has just returned to the Holy Mountain City, lacks the most. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Ye and Wei Zhanhai dared to lead the team back to the Holy Mountain City directly.
After that, they took off their disguises and went directly to the top of the Holy Dragon, where they met Xu Yingying, Fang Qingxue and others.
Although Fang Qinglong himself couldn't wait for their report at the top of the Holy Dragon, or because he didn't think that Xu Ye and the others would be able to achieve decisive results in just a few days, he didn't expect them to really come back at this time, let alone that Shang Tuzong was so bold and had already set up a trap for them just after completing the "return".
With Xu Ye's identity, of course, he quickly found them. Even Elder Xu Liu has been with Yingying to guide the cultivation of this Xu family's "new" liver baby.
After Fang Qingxue received the news, she simply took the initiative to let Xu Ye come to the Xu Mansion first, and she followed closely so as not to let everyone in the Xu family come to the meeting and delay the time.
"You've heard so much in just a few days. "At this point, there is no need to hide the task given to them by Fang Qinglong, and directly tell everyone to let Fang Qingxue contact Fang Qinglong as soon as possible.
"On the contrary, it was Shang Tu Zong's plan that surprised us even more, daring to act so quickly. Are they so sure that they can take over the Holy Mountain City if they succeed outside?"
Everyone is also a bloody person. Although not all the people in the Holy Mountain City will have their hearts towards the top of the Holy Dragon, if they are aware of the conspiracy of the Shang Tu Sect, the so-called "return" before is all a deceptive trick, and there will inevitably be a feeling of betrayal in their hearts. Who will throw himself to Shang Tu Sect at that time.
If no one answers, the people left behind by Shang Tuzong in the Holy Mountain City will be torn to pieces by the angry crowd and then defend the city. In the worst-case scenario, even if they could leave Fang Qinglong himself, it didn't mean that the Holy Dragon Clan would have no one to preside over the overall situation.
Fang Qingxue's stay in the Holy Mountain City was one of the later moves.
"I'm afraid the situation in the city is not as rosy as you think. Elder Xu Liu let out a long sigh, his face looking ugly.
Seeing Xu Ye's puzzled gaze, Xu Yingying explained with a wry smile: "During this time, let alone the Holy Mountain City, even the top of the Holy Dragon has someone who has been in contact with Shang Tu Sect. For example...... Xu family!"
"What!" Xu Ye was taken aback, "The Xu family is one of the three major families." It is the core family of the Holy Dragon Peak, and now it is one of the most beneficial forces in the Holy Mountain City, what motive do they have to betray the Holy Dragon Peak and collude with the Shang Tu Sect. ”
When he left, he still remembered that Xu Hongli was very dissatisfied with accepting Shang Tuzong, because the Xu family was the force that suffered the most. How could such a big change of attitude happen in just a few days.
"Actually, don't say you're surprised. If you tell this news, I'm afraid that most of the people in the Holy Mountain City won't believe it. Just two days ago, the Xu family had a small-scale conflict with Shang Tuzong because of interests. ”
"But, I can tell you without a doubt. Those are superficial acts. The Xu family is indeed the most beneficial force now, but people's greed has no bottom line. If you can become the first family at the top of the Holy Dragon, who will be willing to be the queen, if you can divide the two families, who will choose a quarter!"
Xu Ye was silent, Elder Xu Liu was one of the core figures of the Xu family, no matter how secretive Xu Hongli's plan was, it was difficult to target him in some details.
Since Elder Xu Liu said these words publicly, it meant that he was already ninety percent sure.
"Then the problem is even more serious, if Shang Tuzong makes a deal with the Xu family, he will have no scruples at all, and he will not hesitate to launch an action outside the city!"
