Early in the morning, when the thick fog covered the earth, Lin Tian and his party rushed out of Broken Leaf City on horseback and headed for Stone City, the border city of the Great Han Kingdom.

After completing the task, the disciples of the sect returned to their hearts like arrows, out of the Broken Leaf City is the endless Gobi, at the beginning, you can still see the pedestrians and high-topped carriages unique to the country of high cars from time to time, slowly, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians, only a group of four people on the Gobi Desert riding horses and galloping.

Finally able to return to the sect, the disciples of the sect secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but no one could be happy. There were heavy casualties in this mission, and thinking about the Shangguan Tu and other brothers who were killed, they were all silent along the way.

I didn't say anything all the way, and went straight south.

Compared with when they came, the group of four was faster, and after more than two hours, they saw a familiar town, the city of Kutu, which they passed on the way out, and stayed in this small city for a night. It was there that Lin Tian happened to meet Zhang Banxian, who was looking for him outside the Saiwai, and fought fiercely on the top of the mountain.

"Three months later, the East China Sea ......"

Lin Tian muttered, restrained the war horse, and remembered the agreement with Zhang Banxian, as well as Gan Liuting, who had fought side by side in the Xianmen assessment and was now imprisoned by his father. Lin Tian can not care about the situation and survival of Sakura Island in the East China Sea, but there is one thing Zhang Banxian is not wrong, even if he saves Gan Liuting's life, he has to go to the East China Sea.

At the beginning, the scene of meeting Gan Liuting for the first time on Panlong Mountain once again surfaced in Lin Tian's heart. It's not been a long time or two, but in a trance, it seems to have been many years ago. As soon as they entered the Immortal Gate, they were as deep as the sea, and after they joined the Qiankun Sword Sect and the Luoshen Palace, the two had no contact, but they didn't expect to hear the news of Gan Liuting again, and the latter was actually imprisoned by her father.

"Brother Lin Tian, are you tired, do you want to go into the city to rest for a while?"

Yue Qingshan restrained the war horse and stopped beside Lin Tian, and the other two sect disciples also stopped.

In terms of seniority, Lin Tiancai is a rookie disciple soon after he entered, and in terms of cultivation as a realm, Lin Tian is not outstanding, and even the lowest talent in the group is only congenital sixfold, but the identity of the disciple of the Hundred People Hall is enough to surpass all the elite disciples, and he is outstanding when he first joins the Qiankun Sword Sect, and he shows amazing strength and strategy in this mission, Shangguan Tu is not dead in the bat cave, the three of them naturally take him as the leader, even Yue Qingshan is respectful to Lin Tian, and the other two sect disciples naturally do not have any ideas.

"No need, let's go!"

Lin Tian glanced at Kutu City, which was built on the mountain, clamped the horse's belly and rushed out, and continued to gallop on the endless Gobi Desert. Behind him, Yue Qingshan and the three of them rode their horses to follow, and a group of four people went straight to the Great Han Kingdom without stopping, and soon, they left Kutu City far behind and plunged into the boundless Gobi.

In the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, sometimes there are no people in a radius of 100 miles, and in the middle of winter before the beginning of spring, the weather is even colder, and no one comes out to move, and the herdsmen who live by grazing are closed. Not long after leaving Kutu City, Lin Tian and his entourage encountered a heavy snowstorm, and the four of them did not find a place to settle down, but braved the cold and biting wind and snow to continue to hurry, quenching their hunger and thirst with snow, and whipping their horses all the way, until the war horse was really unable to run, so they found a cave and settled down. By this time, it was already dark and it was evening. Yue Qingshan was quick with his hands and feet, quickly retrieved a lot of dry firewood from the field, lit a blazing fire in the cave, and a group of four people sat cross-legged around the fire.

The blazing fire gradually warmed people's cold bodies, Yue Qingshan and the others were fiddling with an antelope that had come back from hunting, each with a pot of spirits to eat and drink, but Lin Tian sat quietly on the side and took out a map from his arms. In the lower right corner of the map, there is an eye-catching seal, and the three characters of Dafan Temple are clearly visible.

Last night, Zhao Wu, the head of Gaoche National University, sent this map presented by Li Niang overnight, at that time, Lin Tian was cultivating and didn't have time to look at it. Now, take it out and look at it carefully, and then you can understand that Li Niang has good intentions. This is not an ordinary map, but a specially made map, which not only identifies the location of the temple, but also marks many points of contact, both light and covert. Obviously, this is a map used by the disciples inside the Dafa Temple, and it involves the secrets of the Dafan Temple. Lin Tian didn't know how this map was in Liniang's hands, but just giving this map to himself might bring her a lot of trouble.

"Brother Lin Tian, that Lady Qingxin is really good to you. Yue Qingshan leaned over and saw the words 'Dafan Temple' at a glance, "Last night, when you went to the Gaoche Kingdom Palace late at night, I thought you would never come back and not return to the sect with us. ”

"Where are you going if you don't go back to the sect?" Lin Tian asked, folding the map and putting it away.

"Hehe, Lin Tian, what do you say?"

Yue Qingshan smiled, and then said: "What's so good about the Immortal Gate, it's exhausting to get a cultivation exercise, how can anyone be at ease in the world......?

Yue Qingshan laughed, and the other two sect disciples also laughed, taking a barbecue and a pot of wine and putting them in front of Lin Tian.

"Yes, how carefree, it's a pity, the three of you don't have a chance to enjoy it, continue to be a cow and a horse, and look red!"

Lin Tian joked, and the group of four relaxed after suffering from hardship.

On the surface, Lin Tian was casual, but secretly he was stunned, understood the true intention of the old king to recruit him, and finally knew why Hu Shuxiang, the princess of Gaoche Kingdom, did not attend the banquet last night.

"By the way, Brother Lin Tian, Senior Brother Shangguan, how did they die, and after returning to the sect, how do you tell the elders?" Yue Qingshan poured a sip of strong wine and asked with the intention of drinking.

The four of them were silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The other two sect disciples didn't ask, but they always wanted to know the specific things in their hearts, and they had a headache about how to explain them after returning to the sect.

"He was calculated and ambushed by the Demon God Cult, and then died under the claws of a tarantula king. ”

After a long while, Lin Tian broke the silence, paused and continued: "I don't want to say more about the specific story now, I don't want to recall it anymore, but don't worry, brothers, I will make it clear to the elders." If the elder really wants to blame it, I will bear it alone, it is not early, and I will continue to hurry tomorrow morning, so I will rest as soon as possible. Even if the wine is good, don't drink too much!"

Lin Tian commanded lightly, sat cross-legged with his back against the wall, closed his eyes and cultivated.

Yue Qingshan and the three of them glanced at each other, did not ask any questions in a meaningful way, and also seized the time to rest. There is still a long way to go from here to the Qiankun Sword Sect, not to mention trekking through mountains and rivers, if you are not careful, you may be targeted by the Demon God Sect again, then it will be troublesome.

The night was cold, but for the disciples of the Immortal Sect, this bit of suffering was nothing. As soon as the morning dawned, the group of four quickly set off and arrived at Stone Town, it was the night three days later, and the night was already dark. In order to avoid leaking the news and exposing his whereabouts, Lin Tian asked Yue Qingshan and the others to stay outside the general's mansion and sneak in alone.

The Northern Xinjiang General's Mansion covers a vast area, there are mountains and rivers, there are buildings connected into pieces, and there is a huge parade ground, people come and go during the day, and there are many soldiers and horses stationed, but at night, both the servants and the soldiers have already slept, and the huge General's Mansion is quiet, and there is only the whistling sound of the cold wind in the ears.

Lin Tian stepped on the wide Liuyun Dou hat on top of his head in the Flying Fox Boots, put on the blade warrior suit that the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect had trained outside, restrained the aura and power fluctuations in his body, and with his strong strength, he easily avoided the patrol and came to the inner perimeter of the General's Mansion. Looking up, all the buildings and houses were pitch black, only one hall was still lit up, sneaking over to see, General Li Han was reading at night, all kinds of books and documents on the desktop were piled up, it was already so late, I don't know whether he was studying military books or reading the military information sent from all over northern Xinjiang.

"With soldiers like gods and so hard, no wonder people are called the military gods of the Han Dynasty!"

Glancing at Li Han who was reading at night from a distance, Lin Tian nodded, secretly admiring this Li Han, who abandoned martial arts and followed literature, withdrew from the Shenhuo Pavilion, one of the four hidden immortal sects, and joined the army to become a generation of famous generals. Even if you are a child of a family, it is not easy to join the Four Hidden Immortal Sects, you need to pass many challenges and tests, and it is even more difficult to join the Immortal Sect smoothly and then take the initiative to quit, and it requires great faith and perseverance. For this alone, General Li Han is admirable!

It was quiet, there was no secret sentry, and only every half a pillar of incense did a group of patrolling soldiers walk by with torches.

Lin Tian waited patiently for a long time, and after confirming that his whereabouts would not be exposed, he sneaked to the room where Li Han was. Pause under the window for a moment, take a deep breath, and then climb through the window.

General Li Han was still reading quietly with his back to the window, sitting motionless in his chair, but the moment he climbed through the window, Lin Tian's eyebrows suddenly beat and he felt extremely dangerous, with the help of the dim light, his eyes saw a translucent silk thread the size of spider silk on the ground, right where he landed.

Not good!

There is a trap!

Lin Tian suddenly urged the knife rotation in his body, his body forcibly stayed in the air, and then changed his posture and landed on the ground with his head and feet, the tip of his nose was less than an inch away from the translucent silk thread on the ground, and it was almost about to stick to this mechanism. The next moment, just as he was about to turn over and stand up, he suddenly found that the front and back were covered with this kind of silk thread, some of which were only three inches from the ground, and the rats could not get through, while others were in the air, crisscrossing and crisscrossing a bird that could not fly in. The whole room is impressively covered with mechanisms, and looking at this, there must be some powerful mechanism behind the translucent silk thread.

Terrible!

No wonder there is not a single secret sentry around, it seems that the defense is lax, but in fact, there is a hidden killing machine!

Lin Tian's heart shook, he took a deep breath, and his body moved up and down his head and feet, sometimes sideways, sometimes bent his knees and bent his legs and jumped up gently, and sometimes he moved slowly like a cartilaginous fish without a backbone, carefully crossing one mechanism after another. In the end, he finally managed to avoid all the translucent silk threads and came behind General Li Han. Just breathed a sigh of relief, a drop of sweat dripped from the tip of his nose and landed right on the beautifully made carpet. The next moment, a crisp bell suddenly sounded in the room.

"Who?"

"Assassins, there are assassins, protect the general!"

A group of elite soldiers in northern Xinjiang rushed from the darkness when they heard the news, and they were murderous one by one. In an instant, countless crossbow arrows locked onto Lin Tian's body, and the slightest movement was a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Under this flat carpet, there is a delicate bell?

Lin Tian reacted quickly, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Applause sounded in the room, and General Li Han, who had been sitting still and concentrating on reading, slowly turned around while applauding, "Okay, good body, I don't know who your Excellency is......?"

"General, don't you know each other so soon?"

Lin Tian raised his head and slowly lifted the wide flowing cloud hat that covered his facial features.

"Lin Tian, Lin Gongzi!"

General Li Han Huo Ran stood up and was overjoyed, "Haha, I'm wondering who has such a high level of cultivation, and easily broke through my six-sided Qi Formation, it turned out to be a master of the Immortal Sect, hahaha, good, good! Lin Gongzi, it seems that your skills have improved again, and they are even more powerful! This is one of my brothers, you all step down, and no one is allowed to reveal a word to the outside world!"

Li Han waved his hand, and the murderous soldiers retreated like a tide, retreated into the darkness and disappeared, not a secret sentry, but faster than the nearby secret sentry, and could besiege and kill the uninvited guests who rushed in at any time.

"What kind of immortal sect master, I'm just a novice disciple of the Qiankun Sword Sect, General Li, you are a real master!"

Lin Tian smiled bitterly, and admired General Li Han even more for the iron cavalry in the northern Xinjiang, this person is not only good at the art of war, but unexpectedly, he is also proficient in organs and formations. With such a mind and strategy, it is no wonder that in the previous battle of Triumph Square in Stone City, even Zhao Shuangying, the saintess of the Demon God Sect, who is known as the world's most talented woman, suffered a secret loss, and in turn was calculated by General Li Han!

"Hahaha, Lin Tian, you are indeed a rookie disciple, but if you don't enter the stream, there is no qualified sect disciple in the four hidden immortal sects!"

Li Han laughed, and seemed to be very happy to see Lin Tianhou, and warmly invited Lin Tian to sit down across the desk, "Lin Tian, it's not that I'm arrogant, and it's not that I have any prejudices about your Qiankun Sword Sect, ordinary sect disciples really don't follow my eyes, and they are too conformist." For so many years, there are only two disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect who have made my eyes shine, and one is you. When we met for the first time in Black Dragon Village, I knew that you were not simple!"

"Oh, what about the other person, who is it?" Lin Tian was a little curious, and fell in love with Li Han at first sight.

"The other one, speaking of which, it is a big name, that is the eldest disciple of the younger generation of your Qiankun Sword Sect, that is, your senior brother, Ye ...... North...... Palace!" Li Han paused word by word, and said a master who was like thunder but had not yet met him.

"I'm the number one disciple of the Qiankun Sword Sect Hundred People Hall, Ye Beigong?"

Lin Tian's heart was shocked, and he understood more and more that Li Han was not a simple person, but he didn't expect that he even knew Ye Beigong, and listening to his tone, he seemed to be quite familiar with Ye Beigong.

"That's right, it's Ye Beigong!" Li Han nodded and poured Lin Tian a cup of tea with his own hands.

"General Li, back then, when you were still in the Divine Fire Pavilion, you fought with Ye Beigong?" Lin Tian asked.

The four hidden immortal sects are in the same breath, and when they encounter the Demon God Sect or some great calamity, the Qiankun Sword Sect and the Divine Fire Pavilion unite to unite with the outside world, but internally, the two sects have always been incompatible, and when the disciples of the sect meet outside, it is too normal for them to do something without saying a word.

"Hehe, back then, I couldn't beat that guy in Ye Beigong with only one hand, but when it comes to drinking, he is not as good as me, it has been twenty years, and he still owes me a meal of wine and hasn't paid it back! That kid likes to pay the bill the most!" Li Han said with a smile.

"Uh...... , a hand?"

Lin Tian didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't know if what Li Han said was true or not, if it was true, he only used one hand when he competed with Ye Beigong, then Li Han's cultivation back then would be too powerful.

"Hehe, Lin Tian, don't you believe it? In the future, when you see that guy from Ye Beigong, you can ask him in person. According to the time calculation, that guy is also about to get out of the customs, and when the time comes, I believe you will become good friends and good brothers. Excuse me, when I see him, I will help me collect the account, saying that the account should be repaid. Li Han smiled, and continued without waiting for Lin Tian to answer: "You are here this time to pick up the unconscious Zhang Zhiyang, right?"

"Yes, trouble General Lee. Lin Tian nodded.

"Don't bother, I'll send someone to bring your senior brother immediately, however, your senior brother's situation is not optimistic, the bloodline is sealed, but the poison is still slowly spreading in his body, you take him back to the sect to find your elder as soon as possible!" Li Han clapped his palms after a long story was short, and a personal guard walked in from outside the door, Li Han gave an order in his ear, and the personal soldiers turned around and hurried away, and soon led someone to carry the unconscious Zhang Zhiyang in.

Lin Tian stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, Zhang Zhiyang's face was even more ugly, his whole body was black, the poison had spread to the subcutaneous blood vessels, and the next step was to comprehensively erode the internal organs.
