Chapter 10 – Trekking through Mountains and Waters

In the night, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, and Yu Fei simply packed their bags, and after bidding farewell to their parents and companions, they went north to the Xuanling Continent overnight. They are now like a mirror in their hearts, the dark legion has taken control of most of the north, and they don't know what the north has become like now. But what they all know is that if they want to go to the Xuanling Continent, they must take a sea ship across the Hanhai Sea to the north, and sail for half a day to reach the southern region of the Xuanling Continent. This unannounced visit may be a journey full of murderous machines and nine deaths.

Nangong Yun, Shi Lanbo, and Lu Deng followed Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing's side, and as excellent soul cultivators, they had to stay behind to assist Xuan Lejun in guarding Xuancheng at this critical moment when it was about the life and death of Xuancheng. They all know very well that Xuancheng is not only the capital of Qi, but also a spiritual symbol. This is also the key reason why Xuan Le Jun swore to die and refused to move south, and now the strong northern expedition of the Dark Legion has crushed a large number of Qi ministers, and they have followed the people who moved south to the city. Xuan Lejun didn't stop them, this time, Xuan Lejun didn't have any confidence in the future, and he wasn't even sure whether this world could be saved. So, how can he ask others?

Feng Yuchong and their group of young people can be regarded as giving Xuan Lejun a little hope in the crisis to some extent, Xuan Lejun knows very well that the identity and talent of these young people are by no means ordinary, he can't help but bless these young people in his heart, hoping that they can find a way to save the Qi country from the darkness in this time when the dark army is in danger.

...............

Heading north along the official road, the three young men Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei were already approaching Que Cheng in just two days. They are all well aware that their surroundings are already quite dangerous, and the Dark Legion may appear around at any time to deliver a fatal blow to them, and they will not be the opponent of the Dark Legion now. So, instead of blindly walking along the official road, they walked slowly along the surrounding mountain road, and now even though they were immersed in the surrounding environment of the night, they did not dare to relax at all.

Even if these three young people slow down, they still have quite light and solid light skills, so even if they can slow down, it only took them three hours to come to the outside of Que City in the north of Qi Kingdom, and their understanding of Que City is not very deep. But now that time has passed, the city has been occupied by the Dark Legion, and the surrounding villages and towns have fallen into the hands of the Dark Legion, and the soldiers and civilians who have no time to withdraw or are unwilling to withdraw have died under the ruthless blade of the Dark Legion. And Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, and Yu Fei traveled lightly and cautiously, all the way, and the key was to avoid the patrols of the Dark Legion along the way.

They all knew that the main concentration of the Dark Legion's army was near Que City, so their attention became extra cautious when approaching Que City. Along the way, they had even encountered the patrol of the Dark Legion, and they didn't know the details of the Dark Legion now, so they didn't dare to act rashly, but carefully avoided the patrol army of the Dark Legion who were dressed in black and robes along the way.

However, what the three young men didn't know was that if they hadn't been so careful to avoid the unknown Dark Legion patrols, they would most likely have been surrounded by the Dark Legion patrols that were a chain of communications. If this happens, the dark legions will be surrounded in an instant, and it will be difficult for them to get out of even if they have three heads and six arms.

After bypassing Que Cheng, which had unloaded the blue flag of Qi State, and also bypassing hundreds of dark legion patrols around it, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, and Yu Fei finally set foot on the gallop between Que City and Li City, but they did not dare to continue to follow this road, but continued to make a long detour, and detoured north to Tianhailing along the mountain road that was still deserted.

Tianhai Ridge is not only the northernmost location on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, but also the only area on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent that has not been occupied by the Dark Legion. This does not mean that the Dark Legion does not have the ability to occupy Tianhailing, which itself is sparsely populated, and the land is barren, and the mountains are rugged and bumpy. Therefore, the Dark Legion temporarily spared the Tianhailing and the Yue tribes living in the Tianhailing.

But what the dark legion doesn't know is that the Yue people are no longer the original scattered Yue people, after the joint governance of the holy daughter Luo Yinying and the five elders, the current Yue people have been unprecedentedly united, not only do they no longer try to raise troops against the Qi country as they did in the past, but they fully support the Qi country. In the past year and a half, all the trade and shipping of Qi and the country have basically been controlled by the Tianhailing and Yue people.

What's more, Tianhailing not only possessed the vital sea transportation, but also assumed the only ice mountain leading to the Nine Domains Continent after returning to the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent through the Jade Falling Jade. In this way, the importance of Tianhailing is further highlighted. It can be said that the Dark Legion inadvertently let go of Tianhailing at this time and prepared to directly attack Xuancheng, the capital of Qi State, which can be said to be a huge mistake in strategic planning.

And now, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei's goal is naturally to prepare to make a detour to Tianhailing and go straight to the Xuanling Continent in the north by sea ship, so that after they get the support of Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, they can directly transfer the departing army on the Xuanling Continent, although the departing army may not be able to take the initiative and advantage in the face of the Dark Legion, but after all, one more force has one more chance of winning, and now when facing the Dark Legion, any force that may be able to activate the effect will not let go of it no matter what.

The three young men walked along the mountain road, although the road through the mountains was not only long, but also dangerous and rugged than the galloping road. But this mountain road has a little advantage, not only is there no patrol post of the Dark Legion here, but there are also new strongholds and garrisons of the Dark Legion, they can move forward relatively easily here, and they don't need to worry about the dark legion suddenly appearing in front of them all the time. In addition, the three of them have excellent light skills, and even the extra time spent on detours is actually not a big problem for them. On the contrary, since there was no one on the road to hinder them, and there was no patrol army of the Dark Legion to threaten them, they could walk faster.

Two hours later, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei had come to the most critical place of their trip, Tianhailing, very smoothly. The three young people still have some familiarity with Tianhailing, after all, these are the locations of the Yue clan to which their good friend Luo Yinying belongs. It's just that the situation within the Yue tribe in the past two years has been quite complicated, and Luo Yinying, as the saint of the Yue tribe, and their friends naturally can't take care of both ends. And now, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao are still in the city of Xuanling Continent, so whether the Yue clan will help them in this court situation now is indeed a matter that needs to be confirmed.

Climbing over the heavy mountains on the Tianhai Ridge is not a difficult thing for these three young people. By the time they crossed the mountains and came to the northernmost Yue settlement in Tianhailing, the sky was already full of stars at this time, and the time was close to the middle of the night. Of course, now looking south through the Tianhai Ridge, they can see the boundless dark chaos storm in the sky, over there, it is also at this time that the boundless rule of the Dark Legion is heralded, they dare not imagine what kind of attack the Dark Legion will launch on Xuancheng once they are ready, this matter is unknown to everyone.

For the three of them, whether the Qi Kingdom would be able to survive the all-out attack of the Dark Legion was also an unknown matter whatsoever. What they can do now is to do their best to strengthen themselves internally by looking for external assistance. Only when the three parties work together will they have the slightest hope of being able to defeat the Dark Legion.

Taking a deep breath, the three young people, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei, walked quickly into the Yue settlement, the northernmost part of Tianhailing. They have also been here before, but when they first came here, the previous patriarch of the Yue tribe was Luo Yinying's father, Mocha, who instigated the rebellion of the Yue people in the two or three years, and the Yue people at that time were the most chaotic, and they helped their companion Luo Yinying to go back to rectify the chaotic Yue people, and then Luo Yinying's uncle, Mocha's younger brother Mo Yue, served as the patriarch. Unlike his brother Mocha, Moyue longed for peace and was a staunch supporter of submission to the rule of the Qi Kingdom. And diligently and conscientiously, the Yue people who were already on the verge of life and death were brought back, and the lives of the clansmen were gradually guaranteed, and the barns at home began to gradually become rich. Up and down the Yue people, no one does not support this patriarch who is dedicated and leads by example.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and a few years later, when the Xuanling Continent returned, Mo Yue was assassinated by a mysterious person, and the Yue clan fell into chaos again. Luo Yinying returned to the Yue tribe again, and with this identity and ability, she successfully curbed the aggressive character of the Yue people, and divided the power of the patriarch to the four elders to establish the Yue Elders Council, and the four elders jointly governed the Yue people.

Then, Luo Yinying packed up and prepared to set off for the Xuanling Continent again, wanting to join her companions. But just in the past few months, the situation on the Xuanling Continent has changed dramatically. By the time she finally had her hands free to go to the Northern Xuanling Continent, her companions had also returned to the Demon Spirit Continent, and she had missed out on them.

At present, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao are still in the city, and Feng Yuchong sent the carrier pigeon to Luo Yinying in advance when he was about to arrive at the Yue settlement in the north of Tianhailing, and instructed Luo Yinying in the letter to persuade Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde, to fully assist them in Qi no matter what.
