In the deep night, the strong wind howled, slapping on the continuous Gobi, making an endless terrible sound, from time to time there were large and small gravels, because they could not withstand the continuous wind raging, peeling off from the mountain wall, or smashed on the ground, or carried away by the wind, in short, the sound of non-stop ping-pong sounded, adding a vividness to this dead desert night.

At night, I witnessed the whole process of Cheng Bashi and his party leaving, and after a while, next to the cliff less than a hundred zhang on the right side of this pile of strange stone mounds, a ghostly black-robed man suddenly appeared. No one expected that such a master was hidden at such a close distance, and Cheng Bashi didn't even notice it.

Slightly raised his chin, revealing a tuft of snow-white beard, it can be seen that the eyes of the black-robed man are tightly closed at this time, and after sensing for a long time, he did find that the four people he followed were leaving quickly, his brows trembled slightly, and then the palm hidden under his sleeve swirled, and a divine soul pill appeared in the palm of his hand.

The divine soul power slowly surged, and after conveying the information he had just obtained through the divine soul pill, the black-robed man did not make any other moves, but directly sat down on the stone protruding from the not spacious cliff wall under his feet, and began to wait.

An hour has passed.

A galloping figure burst out of the night, and the palm of the person who came was wide open, and there was a round strength bell in the palm, and two figures were faintly visible in the cover.

"Whoosh"

Looking at the Qianzhang Gobi group that appeared in front of him, the person who came paused when he landed, and after a little sense, he found that there was a familiar faint spiritual fluctuation coming from the cliff on the right side, and he jumped up in a vertical step and swept over.

"Four Saints!"

Leap into the air. I saw the figure sitting cross-legged. Hengqiu dodged and came to the side of the protruding stone platform to stand still. Then he withdrew the strength in his palm, and bowed respectfully.

"Bang"

Hearing the sound, the black-robed man's confined eyes suddenly opened, and the force in his palm rolled vigorously, swinging out a fierce palm, which was accurately imprinted on Hengqiu's body, and suddenly, the latter's body was like a sandbag. It shot out and smashed straight into the hard rocky ground, stirring up a layer of dust.

After slamming on the ground, he felt that the black-robed man had already saved enough affection between his hands, Hengqiu did not dare to delay at all, turned around and quickly got up, and then jumped to the cliff again, knelt directly on the ground, and said, "My lord, it's all my fault!"

Looking at Hengqiu, he knelt on the ground with a panicked face. There was a wisp of blood at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know why. asked, "Fourth Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Turning his head slightly, he glanced at Shui Lu'er, who was full of confusion and the dull-eyed, puppet-like Ma Lao Er next to him, and the black-robed man said coldly: "Cheng Shichen and Cheng Bashi of the Cheng family are both sinister and cunning old foxes, for so many years, limited to the confrontation of the imperial situation, they have paid several times more secret attention to the royal family than anyone else. Therefore, it is not surprising that you have disappeared for three years and approached Ma Lao Er, coupled with the incident of Shui Fangjin, it is not unusual to guess that the royal family wants to target Zhang Hao! Even with Cheng Bashi's delicate thoughts, it is not surprising to deduce that we have a secret connection with the evil master family. ”

Speaking of this, an irrepressible violent aura appeared on the black-robed man's body, and he turned his eyes to Hengqiu, and said: "This time, as long as the Cheng family acts, Lu'er's identity cannot be concealed at all, this has been expected by the old man since before he set off, otherwise how could he let the Emperor of Water Xi unite with the other four major forces and take advantage of the situation to completely eradicate the Cheng family?"

"Ben let you stay by Lu'er's side to protect her thoughtfulness, and with your spiritual cultivation and sensibility, as long as you are cautious, how can Cheng Bashi find out?"

The anger in the black-robed man's tone could not be suppressed: "If you are not discovered, you have been hiding in the shadows, under unknown circumstances, and you can't figure out our details, Cheng Bashi will definitely not make tonight's decision, and because of Jin Dazhong's vigilance, we have already discovered our secret traces." You must know that the terrain in the abyss is complicated, and there are violent and chaotic wind and thunder energy everywhere, with the strength of these two people, once Zhang Hongyu chooses to lead people to hide and hurry, while Jin Dazhong is closely vigilant around, it is expected that it will be very difficult to find people again and create opportunities to intercept and kill. What's more, there are three divine masters of the Cheng family!"

"Lord Four Sages, haven't the people of the Cheng family turned around and returned to the Tianshui Empire?" Subconsciously, Hengqiu didn't have time to comprehend the vague meaning in the black-robed man's words, so he asked.

"Idiot! After tracking for nearly eight days, with Cheng Bashi's mentality, how could he choose to give up directly because he couldn't figure out the situation? This old thing said that leaving was just a pretense, and he would definitely have the next move. But he knew that it was extremely troublesome to track people in the Red Thunder Abyss, and we had to concentrate all our energy, and the old man reasoned that either he would choose to take a hand, cross the abyss first, wait for Zhang Hao's arrival once and for all, and snipe. Either they will follow Lu'er's breath unscrupulously and follow us. No matter which of these two is the attention, it is all in the name of sitting and reaping the benefits of the fisherman. ”

This explanation fell, and the faces of Hengqiu and Shui Lu'er next to him suddenly became ugly. The stakes are heavy, everyone has the idea that Zhang Hao must be captured, and if one side takes a wrong step, it may be irreparably defeated.

This is not only a battle, but also an unimaginably complex psychological warfare! Moreover, the people involved are all the kind of antiques that have survived for countless years, and the tricks between them make even Shui Lu'er, who is also meticulous, feel very big.

The royal family has been planning for thousands of years in order to step into the grand dream of stepping into the divine realm, and now that a peerless opportunity has appeared, it is definitely impossible to give up. And it turned out that once Zhang Hao passed through the Red Thunder Abyss, he would be extremely close to the Flame Sea, and the Red Thunder Abyss was complicated and full of dangers, which was the best place for them to choose to do it in their plan. If it fails, the old man, who is respected as the Four Sages, will also accuse Shui Rong and Shui Bohua, two powerful hidden gods, to entangle Zhang Hongyu and the others, and then implement the second step plan, with Hengqiu coming forward and continuing to pursue Zhang Hao. Even, in order to take precautions, Shui Luer and Ma Lao Er will appear as the last step as a last resort and capture Zhang Hao with a soft offensive. It can be seen that with such a careful plan, the royal family is bound to win!

But. Cheng Bashi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Maybe from the beginning, he still played everyone openly and secretly. If the strength is about the same. There is a half-chance of success. But when he gradually discovered that there were unknown masters lurking on the royal side, he didn't have any certainty, so he directly played the scoundrel, because at least he could confirm that the other party had put on such a big battle and had such a sophisticated plan, it was definitely impossible to turn back and fight with the Cheng family first.

The minds of all of them. After carefully recalling it, Shui Lu'er and Hengqiu looked at each other, and suddenly felt like immature children, if they were to preside over this mission, I am afraid that they would not even have the ability to fight back, and they would not even be able to understand what was going on.

"The abnormality of the royal family over the years has already attracted the attention of all parties, and the execution of Shui Fang Jin did not intend to dispel the suspicions of others, but to buy us a certain amount of time! made a series of interlocking plans, but because of your carelessness. Let the situation fall into such a difficult situation. After being silent for a long time, the black-robed man sighed deeply, and there was still a little anger in his eyes when he looked at Hengqiu.

Seeing this, Hengqiu lowered his head with a sneering face, and immediately asked cautiously: "Lord Four Sages, what should I do now? The villain must do his best to capture Zhang Hao and make a consequence of his crimes!"

"Lu'er, the old man has a premonition in this operation, but he is afraid that there will be some unknown changes. In order to make a plan in the future, your identity must not be revealed, and secondly, you must also cut off the plan of Cheng Bashi's old thing to follow your breath. Therefore, let Hengqiu send you back to the periphery of the dry bone desert first, and then untie the succubus brand of this kid's heart, take him back to the Tianshui Empire first, and assist your father to completely destroy the Cheng family. ”

After saying that, the black-robed man glanced at Ma Lao Er, who had a dull expression, and then shifted his gaze to Hengqiu, and said ruthlessly: "You leave a teleportation soul map here, and after sending the person, you will rush back immediately and cooperate with the old man's actions." Even if you can't catch Zhang Hao this time, you have to look for an opportunity to leave Cheng Bashi and his party behind!"

"Four Saints, rest assured, the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Cheng Family have only stepped into the Divine Master Realm for a maximum of thirteen or fourteen years, if they are right, I am confident that I can stop both of them!" Hearing the explanation of the black-robed man, Hengqiu nodded heavily. At this time, he is not arrogant, in terms of spiritual cultivation, he is no worse than Shui Tenglong, plus he has several high-level soul skills and teleportation soul skills and other anti-heaven means, even if it is against Shangcheng Bashi, the other party will have no choice but to get him.

Nodding slightly, the black-robed man muttered: "The spiritual wisdom of the three divine masters of the royal family was wiped out, and when the three of them entered the holy land, the old man used the blood of the gods to assist them in refining their bodies, and left a permanent breath of divine blood in their bodies. Therefore, if you were a little careful before, with the strength of Zhang Hongyu and Jin Dazhong, it would be difficult to feel the existence of Shui Rong and Shui Bohua. However, the Red Thunder Abyss has a special environment, and if you want not to lose their traces, you will have to shorten the distance a lot, which will greatly increase the possibility of exposing your whereabouts. Therefore, Hengqiu, you have to hurry up and hurry back as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry, sir. With my footsteps, if I let go of my speed, I can go back and forth in three hours at most. Although the depth of this Red Thunder Abyss is not long, it will take at least half a day to cross it. Sure you can catch up!"

"Very well, then don't waste time! When you come back, we don't need to hide in the shadows anymore, just act!"

"Lord Four Saints, if you use the Teleportation Soul Technique to drive us back, I'm afraid that Cheng Bashi will follow us all the way, will he not be able to find us in the end? ”

With a light snort, the black-robed man said solemnly: "This old thing is fine, if you really find that you want to leave the dry bone desert, at most an hour, you will think that it is our plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and then turn around and come back." As for the follow-up, the old decay will deliberately leave some clues to lead them to turn, and at the same time, they will not lose their traces while delaying time. ”

"Your Excellency is really thoughtful, admire!"

As soon as the words fell, several people looked at each other and nodded, and then they turned into a streamer and rushed in different directions in the night, leaving behind this howling wind, endlessly lapping against the high rock face of the Gobi (to be continued......
