East Demon Kyo, Imperial Palace.

The chief chamberlain hurriedly walked outside the palace where Yu Hengtian was retreating, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally picked up a delicate small hammer outside the palace gate and tapped it a few times on the cloud board hanging outside the door.

This cloud board is not an ordinary visible cloud board, it has spiritual energy fluctuations on it, it is a magic weapon in itself, and the sound it makes after striking is different from the ordinary cloud board, it is very penetrating, and it can pass through the formation and prohibitions, and directly reach the ears of the retreat practitioner.

If it weren't for such a thing, if Yu Heng Tianzhen was really immersed in cultivation, he might not be able to hear even if something earth-shattering happened outside, and no one would dare to directly break through his retreat, and if he didn't do well, he would delay important things.

Even so, when the chief attendant knocked on this cloud board, he was really entangled in his heart for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the information from the secret agents below was too sensational and had touched the country, he didn't dare to disturb him at the critical moment when the Demon Emperor was about to break through, because if he didn't do well, he would lose his life.

"What's the matter?" After the cloud board rang for a long time, just as the chief attendant was thinking about whether to knock again, the voice of Yu Hengtian suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Your Majesty ......" The chief chamberlain did not speak, he had already knelt on the ground first, and said with great humility: "There is a secret agent report, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to go to investigate the destruction of the tomb of the eldest princess, but the criminal has fled from the wind and snow plain, so he ......"

"Long story short. Yu Hengtian didn't wait for the chief attendant to finish speaking, and then interrupted him with a cold snort.

"Yes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the Pingjiang Palace, but he didn't want the King of Pingjiang to suddenly turn his face, and together with others, he captured His Royal Highness the Prince, and wiped out 100,000 of the Prince's personal army, and then disappeared. The chief chamberlain kept himself on the ground and said loudly.

"Who is that person who helped King Pingjiang?" asked Yu Hengtian again.

"This person's name is Xia Fan. The chief chamberlain said cautiously: "Bacheng is the illegitimate son of the eldest princess, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been mobilizing troops and horses to keep an eye on the secret agent contact point on the side of the West Demon Realm, just to capture this person. ”

"Bastard?!hmph!" Yu Hengtian snorted coldly, full of murderous intent and anger, and said, "I heard that this person is having a hot fight with the princess Yu Kongyue from the West Demon Realm, and he must have been confused and thinking about helping outsiders deal with me. Can you find out where he is?"

"The agents are trying their best to track it down, but it hasn't come out yet. "The chief of the chamberlain.

"Keep tracking. Yu Hengtian said coldly: "Let them keep an eye on all the main roads into Beijing, they are coming to me nine times out of ten, a side branch of the royal family, an illegitimate son who is unknown, hmph, I want to see what waves they can set off." ”

"Yes. The chief attendant answered, bowed respectfully and then left in a hurry, and after such a long time, his entire back was already soaked in cold sweat.

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

Xia Fan didn't know that the matter had been revealed at this time, but he was keen, but he vaguely felt that something was not right.

When he and Yu Xiaokun had just left Pingjiang City, they had been quite calm along the way, but after flying for about 200,000 miles, he found that many demon cultivators had appeared in the low sky.

Flying in the air, it is not uncommon to meet other people, after all, the sky is so big, and whether it is a cultivator or a demon cultivator, the range of activities after being able to fly suddenly becomes quite large, and it is still very common to occasionally meet fellow travelers.

It's just that Xia Fan sensitively noticed that these people didn't look like serious passers-by, but more like they were investigating someone.

This made Xia Fan's heartstrings tense all of a sudden. Immediately, he flew higher in the sky, and immediately released his divine thoughts to continuously scan the surroundings.

The strength of the demon clan's secret agents is not very strong, at least there is no way to compare with Xia Fan, so when Xia Fan hides in the sky where they can't fly, and at the same time, their divine thoughts can't detect so high, it is basically impossible to find Xia Fan and Yu Xiaokun, but the two of them can easily scan them.

"Could it be that our whereabouts have been revealed?" asked Yu Xiaokun.

"That's right. "After Xia Fan observed these strange people with his divine thoughts, he immediately knew that they were secret agents, and judging from the way they changed the way they secretly hid in the past to collect information, but instead searched for his and Yu Xiaokun's whereabouts with great fanfare, it was not difficult for Xia Fan to judge that they must have been at the behest of Yu Hengtian, otherwise it would be impossible to be so grandiose.

"So our plan to sneak attack Yu Hengtian failed before it was implemented?" Yu Xiaokun asked, his face was very strange, and he was not much disappointed, but seemed to be relieved. Obviously, he probably felt that it was too risky to do so.

When he spoke before, Yu Xiaokun could of course be said to be impassioned, looking like he put life and death aside in order to avenge Yu Mei'er. But it was just a momentary anger that carried him away, and when he calmed down, he might not regret it in his heart, especially if he wanted to enter the Eastern Demon Capital to kill Yu Hengtian, it was unrealistic to hear it.

Yu Xiaokun may not have the courage to die in order to avenge Yu Mei'er, but what he is worried about is that he died but failed to kill Yu Hengtian, which is the nest of death.

But in front of Xia Fan, he couldn't retreat, first, for fear of being looked down upon, and second, for fear that Xia Fan would turn his face against him. Speaking from the heart, although each other's strength is about the same, after losing to Xia Fan once, Yu Xiaokun is really a little afraid of Xia Fan. Especially after seeing that Xia Fan had collected all the Silent Demon Fire, his heart was even more hairy.

"If you fail, you fail. Xia Fan also didn't have much disappointment, and said lightly: "Originally, the previous plan was not very good, the gambling component was too big, and it didn't matter if it failed." ”

"Shall we just give up?" asked Yu Xiaokun.

"Naturally not. Xia Fan shook his head and said: "Actually, even if we catch the Imperial Sky and the matter is not revealed, I will directly abandon our previous plan to fight against the Heavenly Palace. ”

"Do you want to kill him directly?" Yu Xiaokun glared at Xia Fan and said in a lost voice: "This is not revenge, it's death, are you crazy?"

"Who said I was going to do that?!" Xia Fan glanced at Yu Xiaokun and denied it.

"Then what do you want to do?" Yu Xiaokun wondered in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

"You'll know when you get to the East Demon Capital later. Xia Fan sold Guan Zidao.

In fact, before he really entered the East Demon Palace, Yu Xiaokun already knew what Xia Fan wanted to do. It's just that he couldn't help but point at Xia Fan with a shocked face and said a few words: "Are you crazy?"

Of course, Xia Fan didn't go crazy, but what he had to do was quite crazy.

There is a small city located two thousand miles away from the East Demon Palace, called Mabao. Due to its age, it is no longer known why it was so named.

Although there is a route leading to the East Demon City, it is not a prosperous place, because the area is really remote, and it is also located between the mountains, and it is too likely for outsiders to come here. However, there are many people in the horse fort, about 100,000 all year round.

There is a mountain next to Mabao called Matou Mountain, which is said to be named because it resembles a horse's head.

This mountain is one of the seven mountains that defend the Eastern Demon Castle.

What Xia Fan was going to do was to capture this horse fort and then occupy the entire Matou Mountain.

"Isn't it too crazy?" Yu Xiaokun stood beside Xia Fan, looked at Mabao located at the foot of Matou Mountain from afar, and said: "It looks sparsely populated here, but it is all an illusion, because it is too close to the East Demon Jing, and Matou Mountain is one of the seven mountains and five rivers that defend the East Demon Jing, and the most important thing here is soldiers and horses." ”

After listening to Xia Fan's thoughts, Yu Xiaokun really felt that it was too shocking, so he kept trying to make him give up, and persuaded: "Don't look at the fact that there are not many people in Mabao, but they are just the families of the army stationed in Matou Mountain, if we attack here, it will really be like stabbing a hornet's nest." ”

"Not only will the defenders in Matou Mountain attack us frantically, but the defenders from other mountains and rivers will also rush to support. Speaking of this, Yu Xiaokun glanced at Xia Fan and said: "What's even more troublesome is that the seven mountains and five rivers not only have their own mountain protection arrays, but also collude with each other to form a larger formation to protect the Eastern Demon Capital, even if you have more soldiers and horses in your hands, in the face of such a powerful defense system and hundreds of millions of enemies, you will eventually fail miserably." ”

"Anything else?" Xia Fan asked casually, noncommittal.

"Yes. Yu Xiaokun pointed at the horse fort and said: "This is also quite a headache, that is, there is a teleportation array in the horse fort, and the scale is not small, which means that if we can't take it down in an extremely short time, just the steady stream of soldiers and horses in the city can drown us both alive." It's too late for you to give up now, to be honest, even if you go directly to assassinate Yu Hengtian, it's more reliable than attacking here. ”

"Not necessarily. Xia Fan shook his head with a smile and said, "I have carefully observed the terrain of the Eastern Demon Capital before, and found that if you want to attack the Eastern Demon Jing, this is the best breakthrough point. ”

"And if you go back, there are a few places that are suitable as a breakthrough, but it is a little far away from the East Demon Capital, and the distance of two or three thousand miles is really not suitable for large-scale soldiers and horses to carry out assaults. Xia Fan explained.

"You're right, you're not the only one who thinks so, so you were prepared for enemy attacks when you built this fort. Yu Xiaokun grabbed a handful of hair and said irritably: "I said so much just now, but you didn't take a word to heart." ”

"I listened carefully, so I felt more and more that this was the right place for me to carry out my plan. Xia Fan turned his head to look at Yu Xiaokun and said: "Don't worry, I won't joke with myself and your life, it's a big deal, if you feel that something is impossible, then retreat, I don't blame you, how about it?"

"Am I the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?!" Yu Xiaokun was angry, feeling that he had contempt and insult, and said with a cold face: "If it weren't for your mother being Yu Mei'er, I would have taken care of you to die." That's it, if you want to mess around, just mess around, I'll accompany you, and I can help you escape if I can't do it. ”

"You can rest assured, I'm measured. Xia Fan smiled.

"to proportion, I think you're going crazy. Yu Xiaokun said unhappily.
