Chapter 382: Bad News Comes
The place that came out of the Valley of Forgotten Life was a deserted mountainside.
The white clouds are long, the breeze caresses the face, the green grass is like a tree, the thick shade is like a cover, the sound of water and insects sing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, although I know that this is the same sky, but there is a different feeling under the same sky, in the valley of forgetfulness that the dry and desolate grass and trees are all soldiers for so long, the whole person has long been exhausted, even a little insensitive, and it is under this depression, but faintly born a strong desire for beauty, at this time, at first glance, I feel that my body and mind are alive in an instant, this long-lost closeness and relaxation is enough to make them intoxicated for a long, long timeγ
Xiao Cong had never been to this place, and he didn't know where to go, so he took the two of them and two birds to spread out the wings of the star picking, and flew to the nearest town, he thought that now he already had a strong man in the early stage of the Heaven Realm, two strong people in the late stage of the Star Picking Realm, and a strong man in the early stage of the River Crossing Realm, plus he himself was also the strength of the early stage of the Star Picking Realm, such a force definitely had the strength to fight with the Xuanzhen Late Stream forces, so he didn't have to be as careful as before.
After flying southwest for about a quarter of an hour, I saw a fairly prosperous ancient city in the distance, and several people fell to the ground and began to walk forward.
Before entering the ancient city, Xiao Cong also deliberately put a "painted skin" to change the appearance of the two dark crows to cover up the breath, but even so, the killing aura on these two guys is still very strong, as if it can't be eliminated at all, the demonic nature of the Valley of Forgotten Life can be seen here, but they all know that there are still many hidden dangers left behind in the Valley of Forgotten Life.
The shops and stalls on the street are lined up one after another, the flow of people is bustling, and all kinds of voices are mixed together, so it is not lively, Xiao Cong and a few people are walking on the street, and not many people pay attention to them, of course, it is not completely nothing, after all, the killing aura on the two heads of the dark crow is too heavy, and there will always be cultivators with keen sense who can't help but look sideways.
He stayed in the Valley of Forgotten Life for four months, during which he did not hear the slightest news about the outside world, when he left, the battle between the Huangfu family and the Dugu family was in full swing, and in the matter of supporting the country, the Dugu family suffered a lot of losses, and I don't know what happened to Xingliuyun and them.
The market has never been a place for people to discuss current affairs, and if you want to inquire about the news, you still have to go to the restaurant and teahouse, just take them to eat and feel the delicious taste and human touch of the world.
During the banquet, he didn't find any useful news, until he returned to the post house, in the luxuriously decorated private room, Xiao Cong simply laid down a hidden shadow and hidden rest array, and then explained to a few people about the attack on the Zhuge family, Yin Nuo didn't know much about it, so he didn't have any ideas, but he felt that it was very exciting to destroy a family that had been entrenched in the Xuanzhen Mortal Realm for millions of years as soon as he got out of the Valley of Forgotten Life. Oh, I forgot to introduce it, one of them is called Zainong, and the other is called Huo Hao, but they just kept nodding, don't say anything, they don't even have superfluous words, just as the elders of the Hades Wu clan instructed before leaving, obeying Xiao Cong's arrangement is their ultimate mission!
Xiao Cong made an extremely careful plan for this, in order to destroy the Zhuge family, he did not hesitate to pay the price of a top-level killing array, although Xiao Fengzhe really didn't leave much behind, but Xiao Cong felt that because it was for Hongxiang, it was not worth it.
It's just that Hongxiang didn't look a little happy, and he didn't say a word during the whole process, and only persuaded Xiao Cong at the end of the process:
"Brother, it's really not worth spending so much time, energy and resources on this matter. β
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows lightly, disapproving,
"Is this the end of this matter? What did I work so hard to enter the Valley of Forgotten Life for?"
Hongxiang frowned slightly, for a long time,
"Brother, those who become big things are not informal, and if they can't bear it, they will make big plans, brother, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if we lose this time, in fact, you know in your heart, relying on our current strength, and there is no certainty of a big victory, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, what we should do now is to unite more declining forces to strengthen ourselves. β
Hearing this, Xiao Congming was a little displeased,
"Why do you say we don't have the certainty of victory?"
Hongxiang sighed helplessly, looked at Xiao Cong's eyes, and said earnestly:
"Brother, a family that has been entrenched in the Xuanzhen Mortal Realm for an epoch cannot be destroyed so easily. β
"You...... I think I know something. Xiao Cong also looked at Hongxiang's eyes, and his face looked suspicious.
Hongxiang shook his head, his face did not change,
"Brother, it's not unreasonable that the Zhuge family can be at ease in the Xuanzhen Realm for so many years, just like you can suppress nine mysterious creatures with the magic circle left by the ancestors of the Xiao family, don't their ancestors have left a mechanism that can compete with you? Even if you can kill everyone in the Zhuge family with the killing array, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be killed by the hidden weapon, and we have all learned the viciousness of the Zhuge family's secret weapon. β
Xiao Cong listened, his face was gloomy for a long time, and he couldn't help but nodded,
"And what do you think should be done?"
"Brother, why do you have to destroy the Zhuge family?"
Xiao Cong smiled,
"You know that. β
"I have a word, I don't know if I should say it?"
"You say. β
Hongxiang blew lightly, his eyes slowly became deeper, and said:
"From the point of view of the matter of supporting the country, Zhuge Jin, the current head of the Zhuge family, is a wall grass without a backbone, and he must be used to it, and the Zhuge family is a good weapon, why don't you hold it in your own hands!"
"You mean ......"
"When the elder brother establishes his own strong strength, the Zhuge family will naturally willingly accept his brother's recruitment. β
Yin Nuo scratched his head on the side and frowned:
"Tsk, although my brain has always been a little difficult to use, but this time I think it is a little reasonable for Brother Hongxiang to say, killing is not conquest, and pressing it obediently under your own hands is the real conquest, which is much cooler than destroying them. β
"This is not the most critical, the most important thing is that the snakes and rats of the Zhuge family are not credible at both ends, only boiling frogs in warm water and slowly taking their heritage for themselves is the best policy!" Hongxiang added.
Yin Nuo took a deep breath, and his eyes changed when he looked at Hongxiang,
"Hey, take other people's heritage and kick them off, you're going to be angry with them, it's too ruthless. β
Xiao Cong smiled slightly,
"It does sound more interesting than killing them directly. β
"How's it going, brother?"
Xiao Cong patted the table and said with relief:
"Since you've said so, let's do it. β
"So where are we going next?" Hongxiang asked.
Xiao Cong sighed softly and put his two arms behind his head,
"Well, where are you going? Where are you going......
"Why don't we go find the Nebula. Hongxiang grinned and said, "Or, go back to the Xiao family, it has been so long, there shouldn't be many people waiting there." β
Xiao Cong squinted at Hongxiang, and his crooked eyes were full of bright joy.
"Xingliuyun, Xingliuyun, calculate the time, I haven't seen him for half a year, and I don't know how this guy is doing. β
"Then let's go find Xingliuyun first, he must know best what part of the war between the Xuanzhen Royal and the Dugu family is going on!"
Xiao Cong nodded with satisfaction and said happily:
"Okay, then let's set off tomorrow to find the Nebula!"
That night, a few people came to the largest wine store in the ancient city, ate and drank again, and set foot on the road to Xing's house early the next morning, they were on the road to find Xingliuyun, but they didn't know that it was, a bad news, and they were also on the way to find them.
Xiao Cong inquired about the location of the ancient city and the news about the Starstream Cloud, combined with the place where the teleportation array had been arranged before, and began to plan the route in his mind, and those teleportation arrays that were not placed in the hidden places on the way to the Nindyang Desert came in handy again this time.
Looking at the map, the teleportation array that was arranged near Yao Xiangcheng before was just on the route to Xingfu, and I heard some people in the ancient city say that the eldest young master of the Xing family, Xingliuyun, has not come out to be a demon for a long time, since the Dugu family was severely damaged in the battle of the Fujun Kingdom, this guy has become a veritable young marshal in the title, only one title worse than his Laozi Xing Wangye, it is when the sun is hot in the court and the field, but for some reason, it has stopped a lot in recent days, and it may also be because the Dugu family has been seriously injured and has no battle to fightγ
Xiao Cong took Yin Nuo, Hongxiang, Zainong, and Huo Hao to the hinterland of the mountains near Yaoxiangcheng, and did not forget to take a walk around Yaoxiangcheng, watching the people in the bustling market live and work in peace and contentment, he felt quite proud in his heart, after all, it was also his credit that this place could be restored to this state.
There was no teleportation array that could be used for the rest of the journey, Zainong and Huo Hao petitioned, saying that they could carry Xiao Cong and the three of them to Lianxing City, where the Xing family was located, and the time could be shortened to three and a half days, Xiao Cong directly vetoed this matter without even thinking about it, because first, if the news of the comeback of the Hades Wu clan was exposed, it might bring some unnecessary disasters to the Hades Wu clan, and secondly, if someone with a heart noticed their traces, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be pushed out of the ins and outs, there are really many people with brains in the Xuanzhen Realm, knowing that Xiao Cong had been to the Valley of Forgotten Lives, it was time to be wary of his next stepγ
Anyway, he didn't want to see Xingliuyun so eagerly, so the three of them and two birds came to Kyushu Mansion, which was not far from Lianxing City.
It is only a "step" away from Lianxing City, and in two days, you will be able to see the starstream cloud that is full of surprises and strange spirits.
But on the second day after they stayed in Kyushu Mansion, there was an earth-shattering news from the side of Lianxing City - the Star Family, which ranked first among the ten ancient families, was attacked by the Dugu family overnight, and no one was spared from the Star Mansion!
When he first heard the news, Xiao Cong's eyes were dark and he almost fainted.
