It was nearly dusk, and on the deserted stone road at the foot of Xuanling Mountain, a warrior wearing a hooded robe came.

Most of the warrior's face is hidden by a high collar, revealing only the bright eyes of a falcon.

He walked through the depressed city and climbed the stone steps to the temple...

"Dare to ask Dao friends what's the matter, the Taoist Academy does not accept students." Li Zhaoqing's subordinates, the acquired monk Fang Qiang said.

The warrior took a notice, "Zhao is here to receive the reward!"

……

"Under ... Zhao Wu, with the exact news of Lu Dongguang, disguised himself to receive the reward. ”

In the late days after tomorrow, Zhao Wu pulled down the collar of his hat, revealing his bronzed weather-beaten face.

His disguise was rough, and he simply said it bluntly.

"Well, where is Lu Dongguang, where did you get the news," Xue Tong asked.

"Lu Dongguang passed through Shuozhou, and Zhao met him in the tavern in Muyuan Town."

"Shuozhou, Northwest Desert"

"Hmm"

"Lu Dongguang absconded, did he show his true face, how do you know that person is indeed his own," Xue Tong asked.

"Lu Dongguang's pseudonym is Tao Zhen, he is from Taocheng, or he is surnamed Tao because of the homonym."

"Lu Dongguang was only slightly disguised, and he went to the Zifeng Tavern a few times, Zhao knew Lu Dongguang in his early years, and he was sure that it was him."

"Lu Dongguang mentioned in his words that he was hunting in the area of Fukong Mountain, and he often came to the tavern to inquire about whether there was any information about unicorn spirit animals unique to the desert area." Zhao Wu said.

"You know him, Lu Dongguang doesn't know you"

"Dingzhou is adjacent to Shuozhou, in the next year, it was the miscellaneous servant of the "Tianhu Gang" in Taocheng Xiaoxuanmen, Lu Dongguang killed the leader of the Tianhu Gang, there was a lot of noise that day, Zhao was mixed in the crowd, unkempt, and young, how could Lu Dongguang recognize Zhao in the tavern after 80 years"

"Well, when was the last time you saw Lu Dongguang?"

"Before January"

"Okay, I hope that as Zhao Daoyou said, Xue will go to Mu Yuan to check."

"500,000 spirit stones need to be confirmed before they are given, Daoist friends want to go to Shuozhou together, or come to the Daoist Academy to collect them in a few days" Xue Tong asked.

"Zhao is not suitable to go with him, he just wants to receive the reward, and he doesn't want to continue to be involved in this matter." Zhao Wu said.

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly felt that his head seemed to be pricked by a needle, and Xue Tong's cold gaze as cold as a knife had already shot straight over, "You didn't conspire with Lu Dongguang, lie to me."

At the same time, a faint cyan smoke wafted out, enveloping him.

Zhao Wu wanted to look away, but his eyes seemed to be frozen, and Xue Tong's cold killing intent arbitrarily penetrated his eyes, making his body stiff and unable to move.

"It's too late to admit it now, Xue is not to blame in the past."

Zhao Wu's sea of knowledge was soaked in smoke and dyed with a layer of cyan.

"Say, did you lie to me" Xue Tong shouted.

Zhao Wu was excited, and instantly blurted out angrily: "No!"

Xue Tong's eyes closed, and the cyan smoke inhaled into his palms, "Daoyou really didn't deceive Xue, you offended." ”

Zhao Wu's face was pale, and he sat down in a chair, cold sweat dripping like rain.

"Get the spirit stone with the note after one month"

Xue Tong took the pen, and wrote a paragraph on the letterhead of the Taoist Academy, meaning that he received the news of Tao Zhen in Mu Yuan Town, that is, Lu Dongguang, and if it was true, he would pay 500,000 spirit stones.

"There is an extra 30,000 in the spirit stone bag, and if you are offended, you have the right to compensate."

Xue Tong tried the Divine Soul Dao Technique, and even appreciated the powerful power of the Spiritual Power Spell.

……

"Lu Dongguang died in the world, but he went to the tavern to drink, and caught some unicorns, there must be fraud in this." Xiao Yuer said.

"Well, Lu Dongguang should have deliberately leaked his whereabouts, he made frequent appearances in a tavern eight hundred miles away from Taocheng, just hoping to be recognized."

"Just send someone to the Taoist Academy, it's not so troublesome." Xiao Yuer pouted.

"Maybe there is no one to send, maybe I'm worried about pretending to be exposed, and my life will not be guaranteed." Xue Tong said with a smile.

"In fact, the players behind Lu Dongguang can probably guess that we can detect that Lu's whereabouts are deliberately leaked." Fan Ruhua said.

"Well, there's no way but to play like this, so you don't have to shout on the road that I'm Lu Dongguang."

"The people behind Lu Dongguang want to lead us to the desert area."

"They want to deal with me, and they are afraid, so they find a way to lead me to Shuozhou." Xue Tong said.

"Could it be that I want to set up a trap similar to the four elders of Yanshan"

"There are always traps, and I don't know how to do it."

"To go or not to go"

"Go!"

……

Xue Tong brought Xiao Yuer and Fan Ruhua.

The two of them offended the Xuanmen Sect in Dongtang, not to mention the dark forces behind Lu Dongguang, Xue Tong will have to take them with him when he goes out in the future.

The remaining warriors of Xuanling Mountain will not be attacked by others.

Shuozhou is 8,000 miles away, and the three of them took five days to take a boat unhurriedly.

In the early hours of the morning, the ship landed on the periphery of Muyuan.

"It's better to wait for Lu Dongguang to go to the tavern and catch him alive." Xiao Yuer said.

"It's extremely risky for him to show up, and he hasn't been coming back for two months." Fan Ruhua waved her hand.

"Go directly to the tavern to inquire, even if Lu Dongguang unintentionally leaked it and can't hide it from now on, then it can only be done."

"The three of us can't hide our identities for a long time, so we wait in the tavern every day." Xue Tong said.

Located on the edge of the desert area, with a population of 4,000, Muyuan Town is an obscure border town in Zhiyue.

Crossing the desert Gobi in the northwest of the town, you can reach Gantai Yanzhou.

Xue Tong and the three walked into the Zifeng Tavern.

The arrival of the three of them is eye-catching, and it is rare for Mu Yuan to have more than one innate companion.

Everyone in the tavern stood up.

"It's okay, I just want to ask, a few days ago, did a person named Tao Zhen come to the tavern" Xue Tong asked.

"Yes, but Daoist Tao hasn't been here for a while, and the last time he came was more than a month ago." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and replied.

"Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know, Tao Daochang left a message, if you want to sell the news of the unicorn, you can contact Li Laosan in West Twelfth Lane."

"Oh" Xue Tong's eyes lit up, Lu Dongguang actually left a contact person, and he hid in the shadows, which was really done by a master.

Xue Tong unfolded Lu Dongguang's portrait and asked, "Tao Zhen, is this the person?"

Everyone pointed and pointed, and the meaning was somewhat similar, but slightly different.

"Who took me to find Li Laosan for a thousand hard work."

……

"At the end of the alley is Li Laosan's courtyard," the warrior who led the way pointed and said.

"Okay, fellow Daoist, please go back."

Xue Tong was in no hurry to approach.

From now on, you can encounter a trap at any time.

Xue Tong popped out a series of stone beads, beating the Huaiyang in the corner of the courtyard to a loud sound, and the trap was not activated.

He jumped on the branch and easily controlled Li Laosan, who was out of the house to check.

Li Laosan is just a lewd early stage martial artist.

Xue Tong interrogated, Li Laosan took a map of Fukong Mountain, and said: "Tao Dao Chang instructed that if anyone knows the information of the unicorn, he will bring it to Fukong Mountain to meet." ”

"You've taken people there"

"How can there be, the unicorn has been said for thousands of years, illusory and ethereal, and there is no news of a real horse."

"Tao Zhen paid 30,000 spirit stones and asked Li to assist for two years."

Xue Tong accepted the map and hesitated whether it should result in Li Laosan.

Finger flash!

Li Laosan's eyebrows were splashed with blood, and he was pierced by Fan Ruhua's finger.

"Let such a lewd man do what he wants, like a flower to be a wicked man."

"Senior brother is ruthless enough to the enemy, but he is too soft-hearted to people who are not enemies or friends, and the immortal path is dangerous, so if he acts like this, it may be a bad thing!" Fan Ruhua said awe-inspiringly.

Before Xue Tong could speak, his complexion changed drastically, the five dragon shields in his sleeve pockets fell straight down, his feet kicked heavily, and he grabbed Xiao Yu'er and Fan Ruhua's arms with his left and right hands, and flew towards the sky.

He heard the faint turning of a mechanism deep underground.

"Boom!"

The entire courtyard flew away in an instant, and the huge fireball formed by the explosion rushed more than 20 zhang high!

Half of the town was razed to the ground!

In the firelight, three figures exploded to a height of more than 100 zhang.

Xiao Yu'er fell like a stone.

Xue Tong summoned the vulture, and one swooped to catch the unconscious Xiao Yu'er.

Fan Ruhua barely landed smoothly and was paralyzed.

Li Laosan's yard has become a big pit.

If the illegal treasure protects the soles of the feet and bears most of the explosive power, the consequences are unimaginable.

The three of them were torn, and a large area of their inner shirts were exposed, and Xue Tong's ears were full of buzzing and sharp sounds, and he couldn't even hear his own shouts clearly.

He picked up Fan Ruhua, retrieved the magic weapon, and quickly disappeared into the sky above the black smoke billowing from Mu Yuan Town.

……

Xiao Yuer woke up and cried.

This shock is unprecedented, and there is only a thin line between life and death.

Xiao Yu'er's eardrum was damaged, her internal organs were bleeding, she was dripping with medicinal oil, she took healing pills, and after Xue Tong's mana infusion, she finally controlled the injury.

It will take two months to fully recover.

"It's so miserable, thousands of people were martyred, and Lu Dongguang and his ilk did everything they could, and they did such an evil deed of thunder and thunder."

"The tavern hides a traitor!" Xue Tong said.

"Well, Zhiwu waited to find Li Laosan, but he didn't dare to follow, made an appointment to estimate the time, sneaked into the nearby yard, and detonated the mechanism." Fan Ru Flower Road.

"Now that I think about it, I look like a guy running the hall, but the engineering behind this and the powerful bomb that explodes, then there are other masters." Xue Tong said.

"This place is hidden, you two stay here, don't go to the Floating Mountain together."

If you encounter a raid like today's again, you may not be so lucky. Xue Tong said again.

Fan Ruhua and Xiao Yuer refused at first, but Xue Tong was reasonable, and going together would only tie his hands and feet, and in the end he had to agree.

……

Muyuan Town.

The flames are like hell on earth!

Zhang Ping, the guy of Zifeng Tavern, crawled out of the hole in the West Fifth Lane, the ground was smooth and there was not a single brick or tile left, and the original house was owned by Lu Dongguang.

Lu Dongguang told him a month ago that once a congenital high-level martial artist came to the tavern, asked about Tao Zhen, and went to find Li Laosan, he would come back secretly, calculate the time for two quarters of an hour since he left the store, burrow into the hole, and paste the yellow rune paper on the mechanism.

Zhang Pingyue was thirty, and Lu Dongguang gave him fifty thousand spirit stones.

Zhang Ping ran out of town, crying and shouting along the way, he heard a discussion, a big bird flying over with people, could it be an evil person.

Zhang Ping didn't know that the agency would cause such a catastrophe, and Lu Dongguang lied to him, saying that it was a device for transmitting information.

Zhang Ping left Mu Yuan and never planned to return.

……

Two months later, in the desert of 800 miles in the northwest, Xue Tong was alone, silently looking at the mountains in the distance.

A sandy, gravel, and earthy mountain with no grass.

When the weather is fine, the white clouds on the mountainside give people the feeling of floating clouds in the mountains, so the floating mountain gets its name and has been passed down to this day.

Floating Mountain is hundreds of miles in circumference, countless earth, stone and sand dunes, the scorching sun is like a steamer, but if you dig deep into the ground, it is so cool and pleasant, without the damp and cold feeling of an ordinary dungeon.

Legend in the desert area says that there are high-ranking people in the floating mountain, like the existence of a dragon.
