In order to find out the actual deployment of the bandits' lair, Shi Xuan waited until nightfall, and then he quietly came to the entrance of a cave, where there were many bandits stationed, and he was ready to launch a surprise attack and pry some useful things out of the mouths of some of them.

Recently, Huoyun Mountain has entered a period of martial law, they must be on guard against the surprise attacks of the two major families at any time, so they have strengthened the strength of the garrison, and it is difficult for Shi Xuan to find a suitable breakthrough, these bandits are extremely vigilant, and it is difficult for him to attack quietly.

Shi Xuan had been waiting for a long time, but he had not found a suitable opportunity, just when he was about to give up looking for another way, he suddenly saw a transport team coming from the bottom of the mountain, they were urgently transporting grain and grass supplies up the mountain, Shi Xuan suddenly found a breakthrough.

He followed behind the group in the dark, killed a bandit in a hidden place above the mountain path, changed into his clothes, and followed the group again, ready to infiltrate the bandits' lair.

Their troops were transporting some grain and grass, this time in order to resist the attack of the two families, they spent a lot of trouble to loot this batch of supplies from other places, the shops in the city had already been warned by the two families that they were not allowed to sell supplies to them, they could only rely outside to plunder the grain and grass of other merchants.

The leading bandit is an extremely vicious bandit who has been haunting various places in Hongyan Ridge for many years, and I don't know how many people have died in their hands.

Shi Xuan secretly followed their chariot and horse procession towards the cave, "Hurry up for me." I've traveled so much today, I'm tired of Lao Tzu, hurry up and go back to enjoy the beauty after unloading the goods", the leading bandit urged.

When Shi Xuan and the others arrived at the entrance pass of the cave, the bandits in charge of guarding them carefully examined them: "What's the matter?

"Don't mention it, it's really unlucky, the Lu family and the Cai family have already notified many shops that they are forbidden to sell any grain and grass to us, and we also ran to the vicinity of Black Rock City to rob this batch of grain, which delayed a lot of time," said the bandit who took the lead.

"When is this the end of a day, and I'm almost tired from standing guard like this every day?" complained the bandit on duty.

"It's different from usual now, I heard the news that the city has arrived in the city, the Lu family and the Cai family are going to attack us, so be careful, right?"

"Alright, you guys should hurry in, right?" said the thief on duty.

Some of the bandits opened the barricades to enter the cave, and Shi Xuan and his carriage entered the brightly lit cave.

Shi Xuan carefully stared at all the environments of the cave, silently wrote down the road, in the cave, Shi Xuan found a large number of forks, these places are like a labyrinth, if no one leads the way, it is likely to be completely lost in the cave, and even break into the enemy's ambush.

Shi Xuan didn't encounter a single intersection, so he secretly made a mark to prepare for the future attack.

The whole cave seems to be hot and deep, the cave extends in all directions, and there are many forks in the road, fortunately, these bandits have often walked around for many years, otherwise they will definitely get lost.

After several twists and turns, Shi Xuan and the others came to an extremely deep canyon, where the magma was tumbling and steaming, and a bridge that could be pulled up by a noose appeared here, and once it was dangerous, they could pull up the bridge and cut off the enemy's path.

Once this road is cut off, the enemy will not want to cross it and continue deeper.

Shi Xuan and they crossed the bridge and continued to march inside, finding a large number of sentry posts along the way, they set up a lot of controllable checkpoints, once opened, they will form a shape-shaped ** mechanism, and after closing, a safe passage will be formed, all of which are controlled by bandits.

Shi Xuan also finally understood why they were still so calm and calm after losing the valley, and these terrifying mechanisms alone could block countless spirit masters from coming.

Shi Xuan also felt a familiar aura in the cave, it was really a trace left by the Divine Phoenix Clan, and he saw some special marks left by the Divine Phoenix Clan in the cave, which confirmed his guess that this cave must be related to the ancient Divine Phoenix.

Shi Xuan found that the abyss in the cave is vertical and horizontal, many places need bridges to pass, the abyss under his feet is vertical and horizontal, the magma is wanton, very terrifying, once the ordinary spirit master falls into it, he will inevitably die without a whole body.

Shi Xuan also felt that as they went deeper, there were fewer and fewer forks, and the passages became wider and wider, and this place was about to approach their core.

"Brothers, hurry up and get all the grain to the grain warehouse to the north," the leader urged.

Shi Xuan soon saw an extremely vast huge cave, which was extremely wide, and was built into a huge martial arts arena by the bandits, as their usual training use, and there were many caves around the martial arts arena, all of which were the residences of the bandits.

Ultraman Shixuan, you head north along the cave, where they store grain and grass. Around the square, there were quite a few bandits patrolling, and Shi Xuan's team was suddenly stopped by a person with a strong aura.

"Old Five, why did you come back so late?" the man asked.

"Big boss, now the city outside has long been under martial law, it is almost impossible for us to gain a foothold in the city in the future, the two major families have united with other families to completely trap us in the mountains, we can't buy any supplies, we can only rely on blocking the road to intercept and kill, so we can only get these grains and grass, so it has been delayed for a lot of time," said the leader.

"The Lu family and the Cai family deceive people too much, and they still refuse to give up when they have captured the valley, and they still want to kill me?" said Zhu Jiu, the big boss, angrily.

"Isn't it?"

Shi Xuan looked at the big master in front of him, his strength was indeed extraordinary, at least in the late stage of the Spirit Realm, he could be regarded as one of the best masters in Hongyan Ridge, at least at present, Shi Xuan would definitely not be able to bargain in his hands.

"How much grain and grass have we prepared in the past few days?" asked Zhu Jiu.

"It should be no problem to support it for two or three months," said Lao Wu.

"Three months is enough, don't go down the mountain these days, I guess the Lu family and the Cai family have already noticed you, we will stick to the base camp this time, no matter how many of them are, they don't want to enter our strong fortress, even if they block the cave, we have our own way out, I'll see how they come to crusade against us? I estimate that in less than a month, they will lose confidence?" Zhu Jiu said confidently.

"Our caves are so big, if there is no one to lead them, they will have to get lost in our traps, even if they have great skills," said Lao Wu.

"Okay, I've worked hard for you these past few days, but it's a pity that Scarface and the three of them, if they are still here, why is Lao Tzu afraid of the Lu family and the Cai family?" Zhu Jiu said through gritted teeth.

"It's whimsical that they want to exterminate us, and they want to sacrifice ugliness for what our ancestors haven't done for thousands of years, it's ridiculous?"

"By the way, how about the eggs I let you take care of?" Zhu Jiu suddenly asked.

"Don't worry, that Qingluan Fire Phoenix's egg is still good, I have used a lot of cherished fire-based spiritual materials to protect it, I believe it won't be long before it hatches," Lao Wu said.

"Qingluan Fire Phoenix is the descendant of the rumored Divine Phoenix, if the bloodline is strong enough, it can even be incarnated into a real Divine Phoenix, and with such an ancient divine beast in the future, do we still have to fear their Lu family and Cai family?" Zhu Jiu said happily.

"I think that in order to get this Qingluan Fire Phoenix Egg, I lost a lot of our disciples, but it was worth it," said Lao Wu.

"Okay, you also practice earlier, the two of them will definitely have to make big moves in the next few days, and you must also be prepared?" Zhu Jiu said.

"All of you hurry up, unload the grain and grass, and go back to rest," the fifth urged him.

Shi Xuan followed these thieves to escort the grain and grass all the way to the warehouse where they collected the grain and grass.

Shi Xuan saw the mountains of grain and grass, and also understood why they had no fear, so much grain and grass could indeed support them for a long time, Shi Xuan wanted to destroy these thieves in one fell swoop, maybe these grains and grasses were the best breakthrough, if at a critical moment, suddenly burn these grains and grasses, it would definitely make them fall into a desperate situation.

Shi Xuan and a group of them gathered all the grain and grass in the warehouse under the urging of the leader, but Shi Xuan secretly made a move, he buried some terrifying arcane ** into it, and he was ready to detonate these arcane ** after the explosion operation, completely destroying their hope.

After completing the unloading, many of the bandits also prepared to return to their residences to practice, and the day and night of the journey also made them feel sleepy.

Shi Xuan relied on his Shadow Talisman to successfully fall into the Shadow, and he was going to scout all the environments here, and then formulate a complete attack plan.

Shi Xuan walked through the shadows around him, these thieves lived a luxurious life, they plundered the women of good families everywhere, and now the cave has become their place of venting, many women have been plundered by them, and they have become the ladies of the village, and those who dare to resist have been brutally tortured and thrown into the lava by them.

Shi Xuan saw these beast-like bandits, and he vowed to make them pay a heavy price. With the cover of the Shadow Talisman, he had almost reconnoitred the entire core of the cave.

From the grain warehouse, weapon warehouse, water source, and many sentry posts, he was all clear, the only thing that puzzled him was that he heard the Qingluan Fire Phoenix Egg that Zhu Jiu and the Five Masters said, and he wanted to find this egg of an ancient divine beast, but he couldn't find it anyway.

"Isn't that Qingluan Fire Phoenix Egg here?" Shi Xuan wondered.

He searched the entire cave, but still didn't find it, just when he was puzzled, he suddenly thought of the residence of the five masters, Zhu Jiu handed over the eggs of Qingluan Huofeng to him to take care of, maybe there should be something found in his residence.

But Shi Xuan also understood that the strength of the five masters was not weak, and if he rushed to go now, he would definitely startle the snake, and he was ready to wait for this operation to be completed, and then come to explore Qingluan Huofeng's eggs.

After night, all the traps in the important passage were opened by the guarded bandits, Shi Xuan couldn't get out at all, he wanted to get out, he had to wait until dawn to have a chance.

Shi Xuan could only spend the night in the cave, he had a hidden place to hide for the time being, there were many empty caves in the cave, most of the thieves living in these places were those who died in the valley, and their dwellings were also vacant after they died.

Shi Xuan found a lot of wealth in these places, these bandits have accumulated for countless years, and they have indeed obtained a lot of wealth, many of which they have not spent until they die, Shi Xuan smiled after seeing it, he didn't know how much wealth he would need to spend in the future as a spirit forging master, these could just help him.

Shi Xuan carefully observed these caves and found a large number of traces of the construction of the Terran craftsmen, the original natural caves, many places have been transformed by the craftsmen according to the houses of the Terrans, which also destroyed the traces left by the original Shenhuang Clan.

Shi Xuan pointed out that in a few places, some traces of the Divine Phoenix Clan were found, and most of the other places had traces that were thought to have been erased, which also made him unable to explore.

He believed that the cave definitely contained some secrets, but now there was nothing left but the traces left by the bandits, and he was going to wait until these bandits were cleared, and then explore it well, maybe find something.

As one of the most mysterious races on the continent, the Divine Phoenix Clan has too many glorious histories, leaving too many traces on the vast continent, and perhaps there will be some powerful inheritances left in various places.

This night, Shi Xuan spent a night in this mysterious cave, until the next day, after day, the bandits began a day's activities, the traps in the cave were closed again, Shi Xuan also mixed in the crowd out of the cave, and returned to the Huoyun Mountain Range, his exploration was also very successful, and he also obtained some secrets of ancient times, and the harvest was not small.

After getting rid of a group of bandits, Shi Xuan once again flew over the mountains and returned to Jiahe City, with enough intelligence support, he could fully deploy the attack.

Within the Lu family in Jiahe City, Shi Xuan summoned the main figures of the Lu family and the Cai family, and he took out the information and maps he had discovered this time, preparing to start the next move.

"Brother Shi Xuan is really talented, the terrain of Huoyun Mountain is complicated, our Lu family has not been able to grasp the specific information of the bandits for many years, I can't imagine that in just one day, you will investigate so carefully?" Lu Xu exclaimed.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, this thing is not difficult to do, this time Zhu Jiu's lair is in the belly of Huoyun Mountain, the road in the belly of the mountain is simply a labyrinth, if there is no one to guide the way, it will definitely break into the countless strangulation traps they have set up, and there will be heavy casualties", Shi Xuan said, pointing to the many dangerous places he marked on the map.

"I didn't expect this cave to be so huge, I'm afraid it can be compared to our Jiahe City?" Cai Kun said.

"Although the cave is large, but their base camp is concentrated around the core square, the rest of the place is either a trap, or an infinite passage, our operation, as long as we follow the route I planned, we will definitely be able to go straight to the Yellow Dragon", Shi Xuan marked a safe passage on the map.

"Then as soon as these bridges at the cliffs are put away by them, how are we good?" Cai Kun said, pointing to a few bridges.

"These cliffs can only block the disciples below the Heavenly Vein Realm, and they are nothing to us people above the Heavenly Vein Realm, we only need to let our strong people leap over and seize the bridge, so we can naturally put down the bridge, the key is that there are a large number of traps in the several passages near the square, they can artificially control and block the road", Shi Xuan said.

"It seems that this operation is not as simple as we imagined?" Lu Xu said.

"If they block the passage and hold on to the core, we won't be able to attack it?" Cai Kun said.

"Although they have three months of food and grass, but I have planted a powerful arcane** in their granary, as long as someone secretly detonates these arcane**, it will definitely break their fighting spirit, and they can only sit and wait for death without food and grass, or come out to fight us to the death," Shi Xuan said.

"What a clever plan, I can't imagine that you even thought of this one?" Cai Kun said.

"This time, my plan is like this, at the entrance of the three caves, we will divide our troops into three ways to eradicate their sentry posts along the road, and completely force them into the core place, we will continue to compress their activity space to the core of the cave, and finally force them to close the passage and start a long confrontation with us, and we will secretly detonate the warehouse at the critical moment, and they will be in a desperate situation, when the time comes, we don't need to pass through the trap, and directly let them come out to fight us", Shi Xuan said.

"Brother Shi Xuan is really resourceful, no matter how cunning Zhu Jiu is, he can't imagine such a result, it seems that we can completely exterminate them this time?" Cai Kun said excitedly.

"We have invited most of the families in Hongyanling this time, and many of them have agreed to our actions, and they will also send a large number of family disciples to cooperate with our actions, but they also said that the wealth of the bandits must have their share?" Lu Xu said.

"The bandits have done a lot of evil and offended the entire Hongyan Ridge, this operation, but all the families who contribute have their share, the bandits must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and we will not owe them this operation", Shi Xuan said.

Within Hongyan Ridge, almost all the cities have fallen into some tense atmosphere, most of the families with heads and faces have received invitations from the Lu family and the Cai family, this action against the bandits has caused huge waves in Hongyan Ridge, and many merchants who have come from afar are hesitating to continue to come to Jiahe City, for fear of being implicated.

The people in Jiahe City are also worried, the panic caused by the bandits is not a day or two, and at the critical moment, there are still many people who are worried that the failure of the two families will inevitably lead to the revenge of the bandits.

Unlike ordinary people, the major families are aware of this operation, they are confident that they can win this battle, the Lu family and the Cai family are recruiting troops, many mercenaries have been attracted to come, and many families located in Hongyanling have also sent their teams to Jiahe City.

Shi Xuan and the others have been urgently deploying these days, preparing the materials for entering the mountain this time and recruiting mercenaries.

In the Lu family, many family representatives from Hongyanling arrived one after another, and Lu Xu also made his position clear to them, and promised that as long as the family made the move, they could share the wealth left by the bandits. For these other families, this wealth is undoubtedly a great attraction.

A few days later, with the arrival of the other families in Hongyanling, the preparations were almost complete.

In the Lu family, many teams gathered here at this moment, this was the first time in many years that so many spirit masters had gathered, and more than 1,500 people were present, such a huge scale was enough to make a front-line force feel tricky.

The Lu family and the Cai family held a grand oath meeting in Jiahe City, "All the spirit masters from Hongyan Ridge, I am very happy to have you here today, today history will remember this operation, the bandits of Huoyun Mountain have always been the cancer of our Hongyan Ridge for thousands of years, this time, we finally ushered in the opportunity." Today, many families in Hongyanling are gathered here, and it is necessary to wipe out the bandits", Lu Xu shouted loudly.

"The bandits have been stubbornly entrenched in Huoyun Mountain for many years, our mission this time is not easy, of course, the rewards are also rich, the bandits have accumulated huge wealth over the years, as long as we attack the main altar, we can get huge wealth," Cai Kun said.

As soon as they heard that they could divide the wealth of the bandits, many families expressed their support for this operation.

After the oath meeting, the Lu family and the Cai family are the main forces of this operation, and the attack plan will also be led by them, Shi Xuan has already formulated a complete set of plans, the Lu family, the Cai family, and other families, the troops are divided into three routes, and they march directly to Huoyun Mountain by land and water, with Shi Xuan's map support, they no longer have to worry about the raid of the bandits.

Every pass where bandits are stationed is marked on the map, when the three-way army arrives, they are prepared, relying on the powerhouses of the Heavenly Vein Realm to leap over the pass, pull out their stronghold, and open the way for other spirit masters, and the three-way army marches all the way to the main altar of the Huoyun Mountain Range.

Zhu Jiu had already received the information, but he couldn't believe it at all, the enemy's advance speed was so fast, their sentry did not even play any role, except for a small number of people who broke through and retreated back into the cave, most of the bandits stationed in the pass were cleared.

Zhu Jiu's mind was in turmoil at the moment, he couldn't imagine why the enemy had suddenly become so well-trained, just like a trained soldier, and the battle seemed to be calm.

"Big boss, all the people we are stationed on the periphery have been eradicated, and it seems that we have to stick to the main altar?" said the fifth master.

"Immediately shrink their forces, stick to the cave, open all the traps on the key roads, pull up the drawbridges, I see how they can break through our strong fortress?" Zhu Jiu said.
