The slender man who was besieged covered the wound on his shoulder with his hand, and looked at the leaf that suddenly came forward in disbelief. This person knew that the strength of these black-clothed people was by no means comparable to ordinary Mind Realm cultivators, but he didn't expect to be killed by a leaf of the same rank in just an instant.

After killing one person, he didn't stop killing, and a chaotic golden qi spat out from his mouth, piercing the head of another man in black in an instant. Immediately after that, the golden spear was sacrificed, and it was like entering a no-man's land, and in only a quarter of an hour, all the black-clothed people on the ground were slaughtered.

The situation on the battlefield below was changing in an instant, which shocked the three people in mid-air.

"Withdraw!" Seeing this situation, the two powerhouses who had entered the soul realm knew that the general trend had gone, and they were very decisive in letting go of their opponents and quickly fled into the distance.

The brocade-clothed man who fought with them breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, although he could fight with those two powerhouses who had entered the soul realm, but it was also quite stressful, and he might die if he was not careful.

"Thank you for saving your life," the brocade-clothed man fell from the sky, and instead of immediately checking on his companion's injuries, he walked straight towards Yiye.

Facing the thank you of the man in brocade, Yiye nodded.

"I'll go back when I go," Yiye didn't seem to want to let go of the two people, didn't pay much attention to the brocade-clothed man, and chased and killed the two soul-entering monks in the direction where they had escaped.

"That's a strong man who has entered the soul realm, don't risk your life!" the man in brocade called behind him, but he didn't get a response.

"Little sister, you heal your wounds first, and I'll help that fellow Daoist. Seeing that Yiye was bent on going his own way, the man in brocade returned to his companion and gave a message, regardless of what the other party thought, he got up directly and chased after Yiye.

"Brother, how can you be like this!" Seeing her brother leave despite her injuries, the girl dressed as a man couldn't help but feel unhappy. The pain in her shoulders made her face pale, and the rain falling from the sky washed away the blood on her body.

The man in brocade chased all the way in the direction of Yiye's departure, but he didn't see Yiye's figure for a long time, and he couldn't find any trace of the strong man who entered the soul realm.

"Is he already gone?" the brocade-clad man wondered.

And just as the man in brocade was about to stop, he saw a leaf's figure in a clearing in the jungle.

At this time, Yiye Zhengzhan stood in the rain and stared at the two tokens in his hand, except for the corner of his clothes that was slightly cracked, there were no wounds on Yiye's body, but there was a little blood stain on his clothes.

At this time, the two Soul Realm monks who wanted to escape had already fallen at Yiye's feet, their chests had been pierced by the golden spear in Yiye's hand, and their eyes were filled with a cloud of black gas.

The man in brocade came to Yiye's side, saw the scene in front of him clearly, and was speechless for a while. It's not that he hasn't seen the situation of killing a soul powerhouse with the state of mind, but he has seen a lot, but he can end the battle so neatly with one enemy and two enemies, even a man in brocade clothes in a high position has never heard of it.

The man in brocade was not an ordinary person, but he also stabilized his mind in an instant, "Have you ever been injured?"

Looking at the token engraved with the word Zizhen in his hand, Yiye knew that his inference was not wrong, these people were indeed from the Zizhen Dynasty.

Hearing the brocade-clothed man's inquiry, Yiye retracted his mind, suppressed the demonic energy that had been out of control in his right eye, shook his head and responded, "I'm fine, go back." ”

"Good. The man in brocade saw that Yiye was fine, but there was a strange aura on his body at this time, because he was worried about his little sister, he didn't want to talk too much with Yiye here.

When the two of them found their way back to the official road, they found that the girl had been lost.

At this time, the woman's upper body was leaning against the tree on the side of the road, her hair was scattered, and it was only then that Yiye knew her gender.

Seeing this, the man in brocade immediately stepped forward to check the girl's injury, and found that her breath was a little weak, and she had a high fever, so he immediately took out a pill and gave it to the girl, and simply bandaged the wound.

The man in brocade bent down to pick up his little sister, and it was still drizzling on the pipe, which was very unfavorable to the injured girl, and she had to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible.

"My sister is injured, I know that there is an inn called Feijia not far ahead, you might as well go with us. The man in brocade was in a hurry to rush to the inn in front of him, but he was still able to take care of Yiye.

"Go first on my horse, and I will come after me. Kazuha summoned his blazing horse and sent it to the man, and his brother and sister had died in the aftermath of the battle, and they would have had a better horse in this situation.

"Okay, thank you!" The man in brocade did not refuse, and flew directly on the blazing horse, and galloped away along the pipeline with his little sister.

Seeing this, Kazuha didn't follow the blazing horse closely, and just walked along the pipe. Along the way, Yiye was thinking about himself all the time, and when he fought with the two powerhouses who had entered the soul realm before, Yiye's right eye voluntarily emitted a wave of magic power, which affected the opponent's divine soul in an instant, and Yiye could take the opportunity to easily kill the two.

Although the magic in his right eye helped him kill the enemy, Kazuha felt that the magic seemed to increase his murderous intent at the same time as it was activated, or it was Kazuha's murderous intent that attracted the mana.

When he learned that those black-clothed people were from the Zizhen Dynasty, Yiye had not been able to control his desire to kill, or it was at that time that the demonic energy in his right eye affected his mind.

Half an hour later, an inn between the peaks and loops came into the eyes of a leaf, and the word flying armor was written on it.

It is a small three-storey loft that is not luxurious but is huge. Yiye saw his blazing horse in the stable, and this must be the flying armor inn that the man in brocade said.

Yiye walked into the inn but didn't find the figure of the man in brocade, so he should be in the upstairs guest room to help the girl heal. Yiye walked to a window and sat down, called for a pot of warm wine and slowly drank it alone.

When Yiye arrived, there was no one else in the main hall on this floor, only the shopkeeper and a running hall guy were here.

The shopkeeper is a beautiful young woman, if you only judge from her appearance, she should be about the age of twenty or thirty who is only a mortal, and she can't see her cultivation, as if she is a mortal. And the young guy who ran the hall had the ability to go to the mortal realm, but judging from the breath, he should just be an ordinary mortal realm cultivator.

Yiye looked out the window and slowly drank a pot of wine, and the young woman at the counter kept looking at Yiye in the process. Yiye sensed it, but he didn't know what it intended and ignored it.

It was getting dark, and a second wave of guests came to the Flying Armor Inn.

The people who came were a man and a woman, and there seemed to be a special energy covering them, and Yiye didn't know their cultivation.

The man was dressed in a white robe, holding a feather fan, and his face was handsome, and he looked like a handsome man. On the other hand, the woman's dress was unusual, with openings on both sides of the skirt, sometimes revealing her thighs when she walked, and her collar was also very indecent, in stark contrast to the well-dressed man.

The two of them didn't have any tools to shelter from the rain when they came, but they were never wet, and they were both monks with mana protection. The two of them did not stop in the lobby, and after talking with the young woman's shopkeeper, they went upstairs, thinking that the two of them had only come to stay in the hotel.

"Vixen," after the man and woman left, Kazuha heard the shopkeeper curse secretly, and he didn't know where the woman had provoked her.

It didn't take long for the man in brocade to finally come down from the upper floor.

"Don't blame Daoyou for a long time," the man in brocade apologized after seeing Yiye.

After the man in brocade sat down directly opposite Yiye, he saw that the table was empty, so he called the man again, "Serve a few dishes of meat and a pot of warm wine, it's quicker." ”

"Alright, officer," the man replied respectfully and withdrew.

"Is Sister Ling's injury a big problem?" Yiye saw that the man in brocade had the same face as usual, and knew that the girl's life was probably worry-free, but he still greeted him a little.

"The sister is no longer in trouble, but she is weak since she was a child, and I am afraid that she will have to cultivate here for a few more days," Thinking of this, the man in brocade couldn't help but show a sad face.

Seeing his expression, Yiye didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, the shopkeeper personally brought wine and meat.

"Guest, please use it slowly," the young woman set the wine and meat and withdrew, maintaining a polite smile from beginning to end, and did not look at the two of them.

"The contemptible Shen Mingshi thanked Daoyou for saving his life," the man in brocade reported his name and toasted a glass of wine to Yiye.

"I don't have to thank you for all the effort," Yiye said politely, "I still have a lot of questions I want to ask Brother Shen." "This Shen Mingshi can usher in the Zizhen Dynasty to cross the border to intercept and kill, it must be quite promising, so I thought about taking the opportunity to ask about the situation in the Tianwu Kingdom.

"It's okay to say it's okay, but the contemptible person doesn't know what to call the benefactor. ”

"Under the surname Lin Yiye. "Yiye also reported his name.

"A leaf in the forest, a very artistic name," Shen Mingshi complimented, "The benefactor wants to know everything he can do, I don't care about the world of Kyushu, but I can really know eight or nine times out of ten." ”

Yiye could see that this Shen Mingshi was not boasting, he dared to say that, he must be well aware of the affairs of Tianwu's country, so it seems that Yiye still underestimated the identity of this person.

"Brother Shen can call me Yiye," Yiye is not used to the title of benefactor, "Actually, I'm curious, this place is far away from the border pass, why can those Zizhen Dynasty soldiers in the daytime appear here?"

The border pass is thousands of miles away from here, regardless of the army of the imperial court stationed in front, even the local army of Chen County also has many checkpoints, how did such a powerful force as Zizhen get here. As for why they intercepted and killed Shen Mingshi's brother and sister, Yiye didn't want to ask more.

Shen Mingshi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "With the background of the Zizhen Dynasty, it can be done, but this group of people appeared so suddenly and coincidentally, then it must be indispensable for the secret cooperation of others." ”

Yiye didn't seem to understand when he heard this, could it be that there was Zi Zhen's fine work in the army guarding the border pass, or that someone in this Chen County was doing something about the enemy.

Shen Mingshi was puzzled and said, "There are some things that are difficult to explain at once, Brother Lin, you just need to know that the current Tianwu Kingdom is no longer united." ”

Shen Mingshi's words proved Yiye's conjecture in disguise, it seems that someone in Tianwu did reveal the movements of Shen Mingshi's brother and sister to Zizhen, and gave the enemy a lot of convenience.

Yiye saw that Shen Mingshi had no intention of talking about this matter again, so he asked again, "Recently, I have seen frequent movements of soldiers and horses in Chen County, could it be that there is another war at the border pass." ”

"It's more complicated about this matter," this time Shen Mingshi didn't evade, "It all starts with an imperial order." ”

"Oh?"

"Because the war with Zizhen was put to rest, the imperial court issued a pilgrimage order to Lin Gudu, the general who guarded the border passes, a year ago, and ordered General Lin to lead his army back to Beijing to face the saint," Shen said.

"Lead the troops back to Beijing to face the saint?" Yiye was puzzled for a while.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, listen to me carefully," Shen Mingshi said again, "If Emperor Wu is in seclusion for a long time today, and the power of the capital is in the hands of the national teacher, it is difficult to conclude who issued this order." If it is really the emperor's order, it can be considered that the saint is trying to balance the power of Kyoto, and if it is from the hand of the national teacher, then his heart can be punished. ”

Hearing this, after thinking about it carefully, he understood a general idea.

For example, the fundamental reason for the turmoil in today's situation is still the weakness of the Tianwu royal family, and now the princes of all parties are constantly playing games, either for the struggle for imperial power, or simply for self-preservation.

Yiye has a certain understanding of the general Lin Transition, who is both brave and brave, and has a very high cultivation and has a border pass Bai Wanxiong soldier in his palm.

If the national teacher has the intention of rebellion, then this Lin Gudu will be his biggest threat, so Yiye guesses that this pilgrimage order is very likely to be from this person.

If Lin Gudu wanted to return to Beijing from the border pass, he would have to pass through at least five counties.

In today's situation, what prince would want to see tens of millions of soldiers enter his fiefdom. Although Lin Gudu is famous, if he has bad thoughts in the middle, wouldn't it be equivalent to luring a wolf into the house. Therefore, there will definitely not be any prince who will easily allow Lin Gudu to lead a large army to cross the border, even if it is impossible for the emperor's order.

And if Lin Gudu wants to forcibly cross the border, then all forces will definitely send troops to stop it in order to protect themselves, and at that time, no matter who loses or wins, the national teacher is willing to see.

"Chenjun continues to increase troops in the direction of the border pass, is General Lin already preparing to forcibly cross the border?" I heard that Lin Gudu was loyal and courageous, presumably even if he knew that the emperor's order might be false this time, it was not good for him to openly disobey, otherwise he would have to be charged with disobedience by the national teacher.

General Lin also knew that this trip was not easy to get, so he kept shirking it on the grounds that Zizhen had not retreated, and at the same time, he was also sending troops to test the attitude of the county guards of Fangchen County in the rear. But judging from the reaction of Chen County this year, it is even more difficult for General Lin to want to pass through this Chen County," Shen Mingshi couldn't help but sigh.

According to Shen Mingshi's reaction, it is not difficult to see that his position is the same as Lin Gudu, or the same as the Tianwu royal family.

In Yiye's thoughts, if Lin Gudu is really loyal to the royal family, then no matter what the reason is, Kyoto will not be able to avoid it. Whether it is because the emperor's order is difficult to do, or in order to enter Beijing to aid the saint, this Kyoto must go.

From this point of view, for a long time in the future, the situation in the Tianwu Kingdom will develop around this pilgrimage order.

He had a conversation with Shen Mingshi for more than an hour, and Yiye had a more detailed understanding of the situation in Tianwu Kingdom.

Yiye very much agreed with what Hua Qingmu had said, if he wanted to compete with the Zizhen Dynasty, he had to use the power of the Tianwu Kingdom. Now that Yiye is constantly deepening his understanding of the general trend, it is to facilitate the future to join or form his own forces. And for the invitation of the flower light admiration, Yiye will also make serious considerations.

Of course, everything mentioned here must be based on the fact that Yiye has a certain amount of cultivation, and it is definitely not enough to achieve things with Yiye's current cultivation.

Therefore, for a long time after that, Yiye had to focus on cultivation, and finding the local character to lead to the decision became a top priority. Today's troubled times cannot end in a short period of time, and there is still plenty of time left for Yiye to prepare.

"I don't know where Brother Lin came from?" At this time, the two of them were no longer chatting, and Shen Mingshi was concerned about Yiye's situation.

"I was just a pawn at the border, but thanks to the help of the nobles, I was fortunate to worship the Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect. "Yiye told the truth, and felt that there was no need to hide it.

"Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect?" Shen Mingshi was a little surprised when he heard this, "It turns out that Brother Lin is a senior disciple of Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect, no wonder he has such strength at a young age, but ......" Shen Mingshi wanted to speak again and again, as if he had something to say.

"Brother Shen, but it doesn't matter. ”

Shen Mingshi hesitated, "I just heard about it, and I don't know how much it is true or not," Shen Mingshi took a sip of wine and continued, "As far as I know, I am afraid that there are forces that are about to attack the Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect, but I don't know the specific situation." ”

Yiye heard that it was very incredible, Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect was the most powerful sect in the Tianwu Kingdom, and there were inextricable links with the imperial court, which force in the Tianwu country would dare to compete with it.

Although Yiye thought that such a thing was almost impossible to happen, he knew that Shen Mingshi was not talking about it, and it seemed that something that Yiye didn't know was happening in secret.

"Thank you Brother Shen for telling me, so I won't be able to accompany your brother and sister anymore, and I will have to leave for the sect tomorrow. "Knowing that the Immortal Sect was in trouble, Yiye also had to change his itinerary. Although joining the Immortal Sect had a strong purpose at the beginning, it was difficult for Yiye to abandon the cultivation grace of the Immortal Sect and the master at this time.

Shen Mingshi's reaction when he saw Yiye was to make a decision, and he took out a gold medal from his arms and pushed it in front of Yiye, "In the future, Brother Lin will ask for something, and you can take this gold medal to Beijing to find me." ”

Yiye heard that he took the gold medal, only to see the word "Li" engraved on it, and Yiye was shocked for a while, knowing that this Li is today's national surname. Yiye raised his head and re-examined the man in front of him, if it seemed that he still underestimated his identity, this person's surname was probably not Shen.

"Thank you, Brother Shen," Yiye accepted the gold medal, but did not ask where the gold medal came from. Since the other party doesn't want to make it clear, Yiye can know it in his heart.

"It's getting late at this time, Brother Lin still needs to hurry tomorrow, why don't we drink here today, I have asked for a good room for Brother Lin." In order not to delay Yiye's trip tomorrow, and also because there was an injured person upstairs, Shen Mingshi and Yiye did not choose to talk all night, and drank a few glasses of wine and went back to the room to rest.

After the two left, the guy who was about to clean up the square table was called over by the shopkeeper of the beautiful young woman.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" asked the beautiful young woman in a low voice in the man's ear.

"There will be no mistake, according to the informant's description, this person is the disciple of the Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect who appeared in Fengyun City that day. ”

"In that case, you immediately spread the message to the sect and send a disciple to kill this person. ”

"He only has the state of mind, why don't we just kill him. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if I tell you to go, you will go," the beautiful young woman directly urged the guy in a commanding tone, "Forget it, I'll do it myself." ”

The beautiful young woman took a pen and wrote a few characters on a piece of paper, held the note and went straight to the backyard, and took out a carrier pigeon from the cage. After the young woman put the note into the letterbox on the pigeon's feet, the pigeon flew to the Kaiyang Sect, one of the seven Beidou sects of the Tianwu Kingdom, not far away, when there was no one around......
