Chapter 63 Discovering the Enemy
"Keep this distance, wait for them to come ashore, and then we'll do it. Wu Huan sat in the rudimentary canopy and said to the others.
At this time, the distance between their two spirit boats was only a few miles away, and there were only two lonely boats on the vast river, and if they were too close, the purpose would be too obvious.
Duan Shang took out a map, carefully identified their location, moved his finger on a subtle mark, and said: "Go up along the Wancang River, the nearest place where you can stop and rest is Shilidu, if nothing else, we will do it there." ”
At the same time, Chen Xuanqi and An Yunsheng were also discussing in front of a map, and they also saw the small three words "Shilidu" on the map, and at their current speed, they could reach there before dark.
"We don't need anything else, just some food. An Yunsheng said.
Chen Xuanqi stared at the map for a while, there were about seven or eight towns near the water in the middle from Changxiang City to Yangfeng City, and the best way was to choose a few towns as places to stay and rest, but because of insufficient preparation, they still chose to buy a little food in the small fishing village of Shilidu to see if they could exchange it for a little food.
"After we exchanged for food, we left by boat, and the distance from Shilidu to the next town, Cuishan Town, was not very far, and we were able to rest in Cuishan Town the next night. Chen Xuanqi still didn't plan to stay in Shilidu to rest for one night.
An Yunsheng thought about it, and also thought that Chen Xuanqi's arrangement was reasonable, he could at least find an inn to rest in the town, and he had to find someone to stay for a night in Shilidu.
Cuishan Town, like other towns near the Wancang River, is a trading town based on water transportation, and the area where Cuishan Town is located belongs to a small sect called Liuyun Sect, and the sect masters of Liuyun Sect only have the cultivation of the early stage of Tongshen, and the sect of Liuyun Sect is in a valley not far from Cuishan Town.
As the sky gradually darkened, the two of them also lit the candles in the shipyard, and now that it was autumn, the evening river breeze blew a little cool, but for monks like them, it was not a big problem.
Chen Xuanqi ascended to the second floor of the shipbuilding, in addition to the room for people to rest, there is also a viewing platform, which allows the boat riders to stand on that platform to watch the river view, Chen Xuanqi stood on the observation deck, just facing the direction of the back of the spiritual boat, he saw that on the vast river, there was a small boat in his sight, which was rising and falling in the river.
He came down from the observation deck and found An Yunsheng on the first floor, and said, "There is another spirit boat behind us, although it is far away, it is not big, it is almost a little bigger than an ordinary fishing boat. ”
An Yunsheng saw that Chen Xuanqi was a little hesitant when he spoke, and he immediately knew what Chen Xuanqi was worried about, and said, "Are you worried that the Wu family brought someone to catch up?"
Chen Xuanqi nodded, he had thought about the Wu family's previous actions in Changxiang City along the way, although with the help of Chen Hu, he escaped by waterway, but even if he didn't take the waterway, with the current strength of the Wu family, he would definitely not be able to face him and An Yunsheng alone, the two innate cultivators, with the cultivation of Wu Huan and the three of them, Chen Xuanqi would be able to fight two alone.
He also said what he thought in his heart, and he said slowly: "If it is really Wu Huan and them behind them, then they should be completely sure to catch up with us and kill us." ”
"Then we won't go to Shilidu at all, and go directly to Cuishan Town to rest. An Yunsheng proposed.
Chen Xuanqi squinted his eyes and said: "Even if it is Cuishan Town, they will also start, as long as it is not in Yue Huazong's territory, they have no scruples at all, the problem we are facing now is not where to stop, but how to solve them when we stop." ”
An Yunsheng's eyes widened and he said, "You don't want to kill all the pursuers, do you?"
Chen Xuanqi said fearlessly: "So what, the spirit rune on your body plus my powerful offensive thunder spirit technique, even if the monks of the condensation period chase after us, we are not without the strength to fight." ”
An Yunsheng gave a thumbs up, but there was also a helpless expression on his face, and said: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible." ”
"What control runes do you have? like the kind of vines you used last time. Chen Xuanqi immediately started the idea of the spirit rune in An Yunsheng's space bag.
An Yunsheng nervously grabbed the space bag in his robe, and then replied: "Of course there is, but there are not many of them, like you said, there are only four wood-based 'Trapped Beast Grass', and then there are three fire-based 'Fire Bounds' and two water-based 'Prison Carp', these are all spiritual runes that can trap the enemy for a short time." ”
"Nine control runes, it should be enough to set traps, as long as we attack them while they are trapped, even if they are not destroyed, they will be defeated. Chen Xuanqi already had a plan in mind.
An Yunsheng almost fainted after hearing that Chen Xuanqi was going to use up all nine spirit runes, of course he had something to hide in the number of spirit runes, but this number was not small compared to the total number of spirit runes of his same level, although the rune paper for making spirit runes was cheap, but the materials needed to draw the ink of the spirit runes could cost a lot, and he threw a spirit rune out, which was equivalent to watching the spirit stones being thrown out and turned into spells of various systems.
"That, Brother Chen, let's discuss, I think their strength is about the same with four, you see we don't know what situation we will encounter along the way, it is beneficial to save a few more spirit runes." An Yunsheng said with a hippie smile.
Chen Xuanqi looked at An Yunsheng with a smile, he naturally knew that An Yunsheng was stingy with the spirit rune, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then it's up to you, anyway, there is no control over the positioning of the spirit rune, and my thunder slashing knife can't kill anyone, then the two of us will be at the disposal of others, it is estimated that Wu Huan will be eager to pull us out of the bones." ”
What he said was to intimidate An Yunsheng, in the battle with Wu Yi in Nanxiang Mountain, if he hadn't fallen into disadvantage, it is estimated that An Yunsheng would not have thrown out a large number of spirit runes, just to buy him some time.
"Okay, okay, it's all for you, I've never seen you take advantage of you so much after walking the rivers and lakes for so many years. An Yunsheng could only surrender.
"I'll talk about it when we get to Shilidu, I already have a plan in mind, but we need to act separately. Chen Xuanqi's expression of a bamboo in his chest also made An Yunsheng feel a little relieved.
......
Tokai City.
Donghai City is the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the place where the river and the sea meet, there are countless businessmen who come and go, many famous chambers of commerce on the mainland have set up branches here, and the headquarters of the three major chambers of commerce in the south of the Yangtze River are also in this city.
But the fundamental reason why Donghai City is famous is not its geographical location, but more importantly, it is the only first-class sect in the south of the Yangtze River under the jurisdiction of Luo Xuanzong.
The current city lord of Donghai City is an inner gate elder of Luo Xuanzong, named Gongsun Ping, his strength is already in the late stage of Jindan, and he is also a well-known powerhouse in the entire Jiangnan, otherwise he would not have managed the mixed Donghai City in an orderly manner.
At this time, Gongsun Ping was sitting upright in the City Lord's Mansion, and on either side of him sat two rows of elders sent by the Luo Xuan Sect to Donghai City to assist in the management, all four of them were cultivators in the Huadan period, and just the elders who were sent to manage the city were already better than the deacon elders of Yue Huazong.
Gongsun Ping, with a two-handful beard and a shrewd look, held a letter in his hand, and his eagle eyes swept the contents of the letter line by line.
After he finished reading it, he put it on the table beside him, looked at the four elders and said, "Yue Huazong's spies came to report that Yue Huazong also produced a disciple of the Twin Spirit Root, and it is also a rare Thunder Spirit Root. ”
When the elders below heard Gongsun Ping's words, their expressions were different, some expressed surprise, and some expressed doubt.
"The spy has also been confirmed elsewhere, so this is by no means false, what do you think?"
"Elder Gongsun, as the representative of the entire Jiangnan Sect, our Luo Xuanzong has been fighting against the first-class forces of other regions all the year round, and I think it is a good thing for us that there are potential disciples in other second-rank sects. A middle-aged man in a black robe said.
Gongsun Ping looked at this person, his face was ordinary, he looked like a simple person, and said, "Wang Xiu, you go on." ”
Wang Xiu saw that Gongsun Ping was interested in his own opinion, and immediately added: "All along, other first-class forces have been carrying out activities against the outstanding disciples of our sect, including in the evaluation of the sect, and in the exploration of some secret realms, the outstanding disciples of our sect will be attacked by other forces, just like four years ago, the disciples of the inner sect of our sect were killed by people in the Broken Lan Realm. ”
"It's really a pity that the three swords, he was already a cultivator in the late stage of concentrating at the age of thirty, and he had already practiced the sword technique to the transcendent realm, but he was plotted by the people of the Seven Star Palace in the northwest, but my sect has no evidence, so he can only suffer a dumb loss. Gongsun Ping sighed.
Wang Xiu also showed a look of regret, and then continued: "So several of our elders suggested, take this opportunity to send congratulatory gifts to Yue Huazong, and inform all the sects in Jiangnan that in the future, our Luo Xuanzong is willing to allocate a few places to explore the secret realm to other sects, as for which sects, it depends on their performance in the evaluation of the sect." ”
Gongsun Ping thought carefully about what Wang Xiu said, this matter is related to the number of places to explore the secret realm, he can't make a hasty decision, there are some large-scale secret realms on this continent, and the mysteries in them will be beyond everyone's imagination, so those first-class sects will agree to develop together to avoid competition between each other, as the only first-class sect in the south of the Yangtze River, Luo Xuanzong also has a fixed quota, but to divide the quota that belongs to the disciples in the sect to the disciples of other sects, I'm afraid it is not so easy to deal with.
