Chapter 10: Arrival at Iwaki City

Less than thirty miles away from Iwajo, there is a mountain forest overgrown with weeds and trees. Because this mountain forest is close to the border and inaccessible, even the patrol team sent by Iwacheng rarely arrives here to carry out patrols, and for a long time, there are a large number of fierce demonic beasts growing in this mountain forest, and only those mercenaries or strong people who think they are superior in strength dare to venture into it to hunt demonic beasts.

In the mountains and forests, a group of people dressed in black came and quietly gathered together, numbering about a thousand people, and in front of this group of people was an old man with an old face and an expressionless face. The old man is on the thin side, and the strange thing is that the old man's eyes are green, which makes people shudder.

The scope of the mountains and forests is very large, and the terrain is complex and changeable, and the sudden appearance of these people has also alarmed the demonic beasts who live here. The strange thing is that they know that these humans have intruded into their territory, but no demonic beasts have come out and launched attacks on these people. Could it be that the demonic beasts here have already turned on their minds and know that a group of humans cannot be provoked?

These people were expressionless, their eyes glazed, and their bodies were filled with a strong evil aura, as if they were a group of walking corpses, wrapped in black cloth on their backs. Such a large group of people gathered together, forming a very terrifying aura, and under the oppression of this aura, even high-level demonic beasts had to retreat.

In the midst of these crowds, there was a burly man holding a huge black spear, and the aura of thunder and lightning emitted was particularly strong. If Sun Xiaofei saw it here, he would be able to recognize that the man in front of him was his master Gruss.

Gruss didn't know why, but he actually fell into the hands of the Underworld, and his consciousness was controlled, turning into a walking corpse-like puppet. However, judging from the fluctuations in his body's aura, it was obvious that Xiu Wei had reached the peak of the War Emperor.

There was silence all around, save for the rustle of them walking on the ground. The black-robed old man stared ahead, and in the depths of the mountain forest in front of them, a thick fog covered a large area, obscuring everything inside. Inside this thick fog there was a low valley in which some palace buildings were built. Anyone looking from the outside can only see a dark fog and see nothing.

The old man took this special team and came to the thick fog. He took out a black token from his body and waved it at the thick fog.

A jet-black light emerged from the token, and in a flash it burst into the thick fog. In the blink of an eye, the fog changed violently, rolling and surging everywhere, gradually cracking to form a road.

When the old man saw what he saw, his face was unmoved, as if he already knew what was going to happen. When the fog cleared a way, the old man did not hesitate to take the lead and walked in. The people behind him followed inside, and the fog swirled, and when they were all inside, they regrouped, and the dark fog obscured everything that had happened here.

The same situation happened in other places, and the teams of the Underworld Sect that came out of there continued to walk into the dense fog one after another.

In the depths of the fog was a palace of many people, young and old, of all shapes and dresses. However, the aura exuded by each person was very powerful, and this strength was already completely comparable to the Temple of War of the Raptors Empire.

The people present seemed to be discussing something, except for some people who closed their eyes and didn't care about the things around them, most of them formed a group, all with red faces and thick necks, and they attacked each other with their lips and swords, and they didn't let go of the slightest look.

In the crowd, a familiar face sat quietly, and the people and things around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, and this person was Reeves. The current Reeves Xiuwei is much stronger than before, and the aura all over his body has converged, making it impossible to see his depth.

Over the years, the Night Empire where Reeves is located has undergone tremendous changes, Reeves has entered the interior of the Underworld Sect with his outstanding personal ability, becoming a core member, and, under the vigorous cultivation of the upper echelons of the Underworld, after an almost hellish penance, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has suddenly jumped to the level of a magister.

Although he is already among the top powerhouses in the mainland, in Reeves's heart, there is naturally an indelible figure standing in front of him, and this person is Sun Xiaofei. Since Sun Xiaofei disappeared in the ancient city of Byron, news about him has gradually spread in the recent period.

In Reeves's heart, Sun Xiaofei is his biggest opponent in this life, and if he doesn't defeat Sun Xiaofei head-on, his achievements will stop there, and Sun Xiaofei will become an obstacle to his progress. Only by defeating Sun Xiaofei could he make a breakthrough, thus crossing the threshold that had plagued tens of millions of cultivators and becoming a Saint-level powerhouse. That's why Reeves dropped everything and followed the team of the Underworld Sect to come here. Because he knew that a battle between him and Sun Xiaofei was inevitable, and he wanted to defeat Sun Xiaofei on the battlefield in front of tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides.

On a muddy avenue, a team of more than 100 people slowly appeared, seemingly slow but actually fast amazing, the sound of the wind continued to sound, the people of this team were all extraordinary, almost without touching the ground, just appeared from the far side of the road and swept the ground quickly, disappearing at the other end of the road.

At the front of the whole team was a young man with a bag on his back, dressed in blue and with a solemn face, and his face was Sun Xiaofei. Beside Sun Xiaofei, Lucia flew elegantly with the wind, his speed was neither fast nor slow, just staying behind Sun Xiaofei.

"Lucia, is this road really going straight to Rock City?" Sun Xiaofei glanced up slightly and glanced into the distance, and asked Lucia behind him.

Hearing this, Lucia nodded and replied, "Yes, this road is the only big road. ”

"If it weren't for the danger of encountering orcs by walking in the mountains and forests, I wouldn't want to rush like this. Tell them to go down and tell everyone to hurry up. Try to get to Iwaki before it gets dark. Sun Xiaofei said in a deep voice.

"Good. Lucia answered, turned his head and shouted to those behind him, "Hurry up, everyone, we need to arrive at Rock City before it gets dark." ”

When the people behind heard this, they all nodded, and they all had no objections. After all, the place they are in now is not safe, and there may be orcs and powerhouses of the Night Empire around them at any time.

After Lucia said these words, in the next time, under the leadership of Sun Xiaofei, everyone ran with all their strength and strength with their fighting energy or magic power, just a trace of their minds, paying attention to the movements around them.

Sun Xiaofei considered that the physique of the magicians was relatively weak, so he arranged most of the magicians in the team in the middle of the team, and were strictly protected by everyone to prevent them from being injured when something happened.

They ran wildly like this, and in the blink of an eye, they had already traveled dozens of miles, and they rarely seemed to be very calm along the way, and they didn't meet any orcs and people from the Night Empire.

It's just that when they came across the ruins of a battlefield, the road had been destroyed to the point that it was not in shape, and it was full of deep pits and cracks, and these deep pits and fissures, as well as all kinds of wreckage and weapons on the ground, were all traces left after the war, some of them were beasts, and some of them were terrannic, and the journey after that became a little difficult to walk.

Because the damaged roads have become difficult to identify, many roads and some buildings have been destroyed in this war, and all Sun Xiaofei and others can see is a scene full of desolation. The war brought nothing but pain and destruction, and people were displaced and fled to the great cities of the empire to escape the scourge of war.

Where Sun Xiaofei and the others passed, they didn't see a single figure, only the ruin and desolation after the war. Seeing this scene, everyone involuntarily fell silent, and the team was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, and everyone's mood became much heavier.

After walking for most of the day according to the map provided by the military, Sun Xiaofei and the others gradually approached Rock City, and they also found some beast guerrillas, and everyone solved it easily. After eliminating several groups of orcs, the whereabouts of these people were finally discovered by the orcs.

Immediately, groups of orc warriors, led by high-ranking orc generals, divided into several directions and surrounded them. Sun Xiaofei and the others were also aware of the actions and intentions of the beast clan, and after some discussion, Sun Xiaofei made a decision, let the team be divided into pieces, and several people were in a group, and they broke through separately and rushed to Rock City.

With the strength of these people, as long as they don't meet those powerful beasts, they can easily escape from the encirclement of the beasts.

Sun Xiaofei's decision was agreed by everyone present, and then everyone acted according to the plan, scattered and rushed to Rock City. After Sun Xiaofei and the others left, he released the Sky Sword and took Lucia to drive the sword, although the beast clan had a lot of flying beasts, but they couldn't catch up with Sun Xiaofei and others, how fast the flying sword was, those beasts who tried to chase after them in vain, were killed by Sun Xiaofei with dozens of swords, Sun Xiaofei flew away, and the beasts couldn't reach it, and they could only look at the light and let out a terrible howl.

The light of escape quickly crossed the air, and in less than an instant, it broke out of the encirclement of the beast clan, continued to fly in the sky for a while, and soon saw the rock city, and the speed of the light speed accelerated and appeared outside the rock city.

"Whoever is coming, stop quickly. Please give us your name when you enter the city, or we will attack. As soon as Sun Xiaofei approached, he was ordered to stop by the soldiers guarding the city.

"I'm from the Temple of the God of War, and this is my token. ”

Sun Xiaofei didn't land rashly, he didn't want to be shot as an enemy for no reason. He sent out a notification, threw a token into the city, and asked the defenders of the city to check his identity, and only after obtaining the confirmation of the defenders of Iwaki Castle did he slowly descend and enter the Iwaki Castle.
