Xue Tong was anxious to return to Xuanling, and the main reason for his anxiety was the illusion of the crown. He suspected that the illusion had been destroyed, and calculated the time, and a year later, Gan Taimeng found that the mirage was no longer there, and it was very likely that he would trouble him.

These things are inconvenient and Xiao Yu'er made it clear that it is safest for her to stay in Wuji Sect. Xue Tong summoned Huo Huang and set off three days later.

…… Yunxia Mountain Teleporter.

"This is Xue's friend Huo Huang, let's go to Sogo." Xue Tong pointed at Huo Huang and said to the blue-skinned monk who was guarding the teleportation.

"Daoist Xue casually" The head of the guard was respectful.

"Has anyone used Sogo Teleportation?" asked Xue Tong.

"Deputy Patriarch Zhan specially explained that there is only a one-way spell to go to Sogo, the situation over there is unknown, and it may not be possible to send it back, and it is not a good thing to attract Sogo warriors, if you really want to go, it is better to take the Wanyu Sea Road."

"So it hasn't been used," said the leader of the guards.

"Okay, Xue try, if it's two-way, it will be sent back immediately, and there will be no one in half an hour, just report to Zhan Cheng."

"Well, I understand." Xue Tong recited the teleportation spell to activate the stone disk. The teleportation fee is 200,000 spirit stones, but for Xue Tong and Huo Huang, there is naturally no need to pay.

…… The hollow mountainside, the lonely teleportation stone platform.

"Oh, there's no stone box with spells, it looks like it's really a one-way teleportation." The stone platform shook slightly, and Huo Huang appeared.

The two of them looked around, and the stone platform shook more and more between the inspections, and the light of the stone plate gradually subsided.

"Stay away, the mechanism seems to have been activated." The teleportation spell was activated for a limited time, and the moment the light of the stone disk was extinguished, the stone pillars at the four corners of the stone platform rose into the sky and drilled into the dome.

The mountain cover blew out holes, just like Yunxia and Lingqu. In the dust, Xue Tong soared into the air and looked around.

Vast barren mountains, overgrown with weeds. The two waited in anticipation of the shaking and explosion to attract the locals to investigate. There was no movement for half an hour.

"Let's go, we'll find it ourselves!" Xue Tong accepted the true scripture formula, got up and said. At least you have to ask where you are, so that you can know that you are going east and west, and go to Yunxiao Sect.

…… Five hundred miles away in the mountain pass, Xue Tong saw several wooden houses. The wooden house has a special style, and it seems to be the territory of a barbarian.

The young barbarian woman, seeing the stranger approaching, threw away the clothes she wanted to dry in a panic, screamed, fled into the house, and slammed the door.

In a moment, a fifty-year-old barbarian man walked out, his expression extremely nervous.

"I'm glad I learned simple barbarian language!" Xue Tong slowly spoke the barbarian language, meaning that he and his companions were lost, and he didn't know where this place was, and which tribe of the barbarians he belonged to.

"Duluo Mountain, the territory of the Clan." The man's voice trembled, and he replied in a barbaric voice. Xue Tong looked at the map and nodded in thanks.

He handed over the small gold nugget that had been prepared in advance, and said casually: "Why are you so nervous, just ask something." The man was stunned when he took the gold nugget, and suddenly said: "The guests don't know about the disappearance of a large number of barbarians" As soon as these words came out, Xue Tong's steps were retracted.

"Can you make it clear that a large number of barbarians are missing?" the man gestured, and Xue Tong's eyebrows tightened the more he listened.

"More than a year ago, in several nomadic villages, the whole village disappeared, and the samurai of the general village investigated for months without results, and even the entire team of samurai who investigated the case disappeared inexplicably, shaking the whole clan."

"The situation is not improving, and the more crowded the village, the more likely it is to disappear, and often when you wake up, the next door neighbor is gone."

"Rumors from the tribe say that perhaps a demon has descended and devoured the barbarians."

Frightened and helpless, the people moved westward and scattered their lives. My son-in-law disappeared while grazing, so I had to flee here with my daughter and in-laws. "Rao is Xue Tong and Huo Huang are well-informed, and they have never heard of such strange things.

"How many people are missing"

"It's in the thousands, the exact number is unknown."

"Okay, I know, we have to leave quickly, it will be bad if we meet the devil." Xue Tong didn't intend to be verbose with the barbarian layman, so he gave another handful of gold and silver, and said.

"Uh-huh, the guest walks slowly." ……

"Dao Leader is going to take care of this," Huo Huang asked.

"The affairs of the barbarians are very complicated, they are divided into seven tribes, the contradictions are intertwined, and the relationship with the human race is not good, so they can't manage so much, let them check it themselves, let's go to Jiayuan." The two of them boarded a boat and flew west.

But before he could go out of a hundred miles, he was discovered by the team below. The barbarian warrior rises into the air to intercept. Xue Tong smiled bitterly, it was not suitable to escape, and he was forced to stop the ship.

There are as many as 50 people in the patrol team, and the captain and deputy captain are at the congenital level.

"What are you two guys, how can you be here," shouted the captain, uttering out a human voice. He felt that Xue Tong and Huo Huang were martial ranks, and his tone was not too harsh, but he was highly vigilant, holding the iron spear tightly.

Xue Tongzhi said that it came from an island tens of thousands of miles away, and the teleportation disk exploded six hundred miles south-west of the stone mountain. Normal people would find his words unbelievable, let alone barbarians who don't know how to carry them.

The orcs grunted all the way, with a look of complete disbelief.

"Come with us, or be searched!" The captain shook his spear and said. Masters like Xue Tong and Huo Huang, the patrol team saw it for the first time, how could such a big fish easily slip away.

Xue Tong couldn't cry or laugh, Huo Huang was not familiar with Wanyu, and he was silent with a straight face.

"Where are you going to take us both?"

"Western Battalion!"

"Alright, let's go." Xue Tong was inconvenient to come hard, so he followed the captain's wishes. The barbarian warrior brought two camels.

"I don't ride, Huo Daoyou rides." Xue Tong summoned the White Tiger. The white tiger roared to the ground, opening its mouth and roaring.

Dozens of deer llamas collapsed on the spot, shivering. The barbarian warriors did not have a particularly clear concept of the human ranks, but the power of the white tiger was clear.

The group of people was shocked, the white tiger was powerful and terrifying, and the captain and deputy captains were far from their opponents.

"Hehe, I'll follow from afar, and you will lead the way!" Xue Tong showed the white tiger, intending to tell the barbarians: "If I am the villain you imagined, I can kill all of you now!" These people are entangled, he is not interested in being verbose, go to the camp and talk about it.

…… The western battalion, where four patrols gathered. The chief captain Tie Lu, a congenital late stage of force, belongs to the deputy clan supervisor of the tribe.

When he saw Xue Tong and Baihu, he didn't feel much like the gangsters he was looking for. He even felt that Xue Tong's name was somewhat familiar.

"Xue Tong is the Xue Daochang who held the white bone carving and promoted the truce"

"Well, since you remember, Xue didn't explain much, and said goodbye." Xue Tong took out the orc bone carving and said.

Tie Lu's eyes rolled,

"Dao Leader stays, I feel that today's events are related to Wan Qianguo, and it is not ruled out that the corpse refining demons of the year will make trouble again!" Xue Tong, who had just stood up, sat down again,

"Tell me more!" The corpse demon is related to Wei Geng's death, and Xue Tong has to take care of it.

"The village that was the first to suffer was near Wanqian, and more than 200 people disappeared overnight."

"After the destruction of four villages in succession, the Ministry of Men found out that a large number of patrols were dispatched, and the leader was high-ranking the day after tomorrow, but three times in succession, the patrol of twenty people also disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a little bloodstain at the scene."

"Either multiple people committed crimes, or a single person with more than mid-congenital strength, the ministry cobbled together eight large patrol teams, and after half a year of investigation, nothing was found."

"If the gangsters sow discord, they will always deliberately leave clues, but there are no clues, thinking that the remains of more than 10,000 soldiers were stolen and dug up, and the Ministry suspects that the corpse refining demon will come back, and my people will be choked up and can't go on.

"Well, that's right, barbarians are strong, young and middle-aged people are often comparable to human warriors, corpse demons are vicious, and they are very likely to continue to do evil." Xue Tong said.

"The barbarian tribes adjacent to Wanyu have greatly strengthened their vigilance, concentrated their residences, or moved the old and weak to the mainland, and the difficulty of the corpse demons to do evil has increased, and they may have shrunk." Tielu said.

"How many are missing in total?"

"Three thousand eight hundred"

"When was the last disappearance?"

"More than two months ago"

"Xue will pay attention to this matter and go to the royal city to investigate."

"Five hundred miles south-west of the Duluo Mountain Pass, the blasted stone mountain is a one-way transmission from Wanyu to Sogo, and there is already a teleportation from Sogo to Wanyu in the enchantment ruins." Xue Tong deliberately revealed the transmitted information.

…… West Gate of the Royal City. The two of them registered their names in a grand manner, and Xue Tong noticed that the guards were extra careful.

"People come and go in Wangcheng, and the registration is so detailed," Xue Tong said dissatisfied.

"The seniors are angry, this is exactly what the above means, the dynasty has an order, the higher the level of the warrior, the more detailed the record, what is the sect, what to do in the royal city, whether there is a place to live in the city, etc." The guard said.

"I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong"

"Where, where, the little ones just do what they do." Xue Tong didn't say anything more, and went straight to the Great Garden of the Holy League. On the Chaohui Palace, I heard amazing news again.

Jin Wei, the deputy leader of the alliance, had some friendship with Xue Tong, and said after a few words of greeting: "Not only have a large number of barbarians disappeared, a few years ago, there were already warriors missing in Wangcheng, Yuancheng, and Binxu, and the Holy Alliance and the dynasty issued an order to strictly order all localities to pay close attention to the warriors entering and leaving the city. ”

"Oh, it seems that there are not enough carrion corpses, and the corpse demons sneak around and maim the warriors are not counted, and they have developed to the point of directly going to the barbarian territory to kidnap people." Xue Tong said.

"Can the Taoist Leader help me check?"

"The deputy leader of the Jin Alliance can have a list of missing warriors and information" Jin Wei hesitated for a moment and gave Xue Tong a copy.

"Okay, Xue will try, but I'm not sure at all, don't expect too much from the Holy Alliance."

"Uh-huh, but it doesn't hurt to try." Xue Tong stayed in the Welcome Garden, studied it carefully for a few days, and took Huo Huang out of the royal city with the excuse that he had no clue and needed to do some personal things first.

Half a month later, at the east gate of the royal city, a congenital monk dressed as Jiayuan came, calling himself Jiang Zhaoxiong, and registered into the city.

"Jiang Zhaoxiong" lives in Liyuan in the north of the city, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has an excellent environment, which is worthy of being the premier luxury inn in Wangcheng.

What others didn't know was that that night, Xue Tong sneaked into Jiang Zhaoxiong's single courtyard unknowingly.

Jiang Zhaoxiong went in and out of the major spiritual material shops, sold dozens of five-grade elixirs, bought high-quality rune paper and rune ink, and asked someone to make a superb shield in the refining shop.

Jiang Zhaoxiong is Huo Huang, who is easy to accept, and Xue Tong is going to lead the snake out of the trap of the cave, and he plans to last for a month, so he really ignores it and returns to Zhiyue as soon as possible to deal with the affairs of the Daoist Academy.

When planning, Xue Tong once said: "Huo Daoyou, I am fifty percent sure, whether I can succeed depends on luck, if the corpse demon urgently needs the body of an innate monk, maybe it will really come." ”

"It took one month to refine the best shield, which is enough for the corpse demon to do it."
