Back in the Huai Forest, Liu Tiehammer and Gu Tianduo were already ready to set off at any time.

Chu Yan first found two outer disciples and explained that they had to send food to Gu Xiulan every day, and if she asked why she didn't come, she shirked and said that the head of the sect was in retreat and ordered him to protect the Fa.

The two outer disciples nodded seriously, patting their chests with a swear, and would never miss a sentence.

At this time, Lu Zongnian walked over, looked at the people in front of him, and said loudly: "It's all up to you to take over the ghost city this time." Although this is a good thing, you must be careful, the Wild Sect is not easy to mess with. ”

Three days ago, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion sent people to Yunding Peak and ordered Lu Zong to take over the hidden city.

Originally, this was a good thing, after all, everyone wanted to increase their strength and power, and Yun Dingfeng was naturally no exception. But the ghost city originally belonged to the territory of the Wild Sect, such as today's Sword Pavilion said a word, and handed over the ghost city to Yun Ding Peak, I don't know what the intention is.

When he learned of this, Lu Zongnian was full of joy and sorrow. Happily, Yun Ding Feng finally got the reuse of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and even handed over the ghost city to them to take care of. And the worry is that the Wild Sect will definitely not obediently obey its fate and hand over the ghost city that it has carefully maintained for many years.

So after thinking about it carefully, Lu Zongnian felt that only Chu Yan could complete this arduous task up and down Yunding Peak, but he was worried that he would be in danger, so he asked Gu Tianduo to go with him, so he could take care of him.

After instructing, Lu Zongnian called Chu Yan aside again and lowered his voice, "Yan'er, this time the Heavenly Sword Pavilion only verbally informed the head of the Wild Sect and handed over the ghost city to us Yun Ding Peak to take care of, and did not announce the various sects, and its intention is that the teacher is not sure, so you have to be careful, don't rush for quick success and get into a dispute with the Wild Sect." ”

Chu Yan's face sank like water, and he nodded, but in fact, he didn't have a score in his heart.

Listening to Lu Zongnian, in the past, when there was such a thing, the Murong family would invite the heads of the various factions attached to them to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and then solemnly announce it.

But this time, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion was unusual, no one told or said, and there was not even a decent piece of paper, but he just verbally explained that the Wild Sect withdrew from the hidden city, and then Yun Dingfeng took over.

Such an abnormal thing made Lu Zongnian worried, but he was not willing to disobey the orders of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and at the same time, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to strengthen Yunding Peak, so he decided to take a risk and give it a go.

In case he thought too much, maybe the Wild Sect had already packed everything up and waited for the people of Yunding Peak to hand it over.

Early the next morning, Chu Yan used the teleportation array he had arranged in the locust forest to go directly to Cloud City.

In fact, it was not only Lu Zongnian who was worried, but Chu Yan was also worried about this matter and the abnormal behavior of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, as if there was a smell of conspiracy in it, but he didn't know who he was going for. Is it Yunding Peak, or is it the Wild Sect.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Chu Yan chose the teleportation array and went directly to Cloud City, and then set off from there to the Hidden City, so as not to be known by someone with a heart.

Seeing that Chu Yan's seven brothers and Gu Tianduo were coming, Wan Shi was busy, and after a while, he set up a banquet in the courtyard of the back hall, and washed the dust for the group, and then he turned around and left very interestingly, but was stopped by Chu Yan and asked him to sit down and eat together.

Wan Shi was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Chu Yan to trust him so much, so he sat down with excitement.

Everyone was chatting while eating, and at this time, they glanced at Gu Tianduo silently, "Old Gu, what is the origin of the Wild Sect and what is its strength, can you tell us about it." ”

Hearing this, Gu Tianduo thought about it, and it was right to sum up, let these little ghosts know something in advance, and you can also have a number in your heart and prepare early.

If you want to talk about the Wild Sect, you have to talk about the ghost city first.

With Cloud City as the boundary, the north is the territory of the ancient country, and the south is the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and this ghost city is the military town in the south and the gateway.

From a strategic point of view, if the north wants to eliminate the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and many forces in the south, the ghost city is a battleground, and only by taking this city first can a straight passage be opened, and then go straight to the Yellow Dragon.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion is very powerful in the way of nature, so the walls of the hidden city are built to be extremely solid and extremely tall, so as to resist the attacks of the ancient family's iron horsemen and cultivators. At the same time, he also used the teleportation array to connect the Heavenly Sword Pavilion with the ghost city, and once it was attacked by the ancient country, he immediately mobilized a large group of masters to come to help.

Therefore, in several battles between the north and the south, the ghost city was the main battlefield, and it was attacked by the most elite army of the ancient family, and the sect that took care of this extremely important town was the Wild Sect.

Giving such an important place to them, the strength of the Wild Sect is also quite strong in the alliance of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and there are many talents in the sect, and the masters are like clouds, which is much stronger than Yun Ding Peak.

Gu Tianduo told everything he knew, which made the seven brothers even more confused.

It is said that handing over such an important place in the ghost city to the Wild Sect not only shows that their strength is strong, but also shows the trust of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in them, otherwise, once the Wild Sect takes refuge in the Gu family and opens the door, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now that the ancient kingdom is vigorously hoarding food and materials, it is obvious that it intends to start a war again, and wants to wipe out many sects in the south led by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, unify the Nine Heavens Continent, and achieve supreme hegemony.

But at this sensitive moment, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion quietly let Yun Dingfeng take over the ghost city from the hands of the Wild Sect in an unbelievable way, which is not difficult to remind people that the Heavenly Sword Pavilion no longer trusts the Wild Sect, or it has some evidence to prove that the Wild Sect, or there are signs that they have taken refuge in the Gu family.

But I'm afraid that I'm going to force the Wild Sect to be in a hurry, after all, after taking care of the ghost city for so many years, many big families in the city are their people, once they blatantly let Yun Dingfeng take over the town, the Wild Sect is likely to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Therefore, he will act in such a way, test the attitude of the Wild Sect, whether he still obeys the orders of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, even if Yunding Peak fails, it doesn't matter, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion still has room for maneuver, and then redeploy to eliminate the hidden danger of the Wild Sect.

That's how it should be...... Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

Late at night, Chu Yan was standing in the courtyard, still thinking about the true purpose of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion hiding behind it.

Although it is also possible that the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is coming towards Yunding Peak, this possibility is very small, because when he left, Lu Zongnian only conveyed the secret order of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion to him alone, and under the premise of being very sure, he could get rid of the Wild Sect.

As for why he did this, Heavenly Sword Pavilion may have its own troubles.

Chu Yan guessed that they must have some evidence to prove that the Wild Sect might have taken refuge in the Gu family, but these evidences were not sufficient, so if they asked the guilt publicly, the Wild Sect would inevitably disagree, and it would also make the other sects attached to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion feel cold, causing the dilemma of detachment.

At the moment, when the Gu family was planning to attack on a large scale, this was a very dangerous signal, but they couldn't let the Wild Sect continue to take care of the hidden city, so they wanted to eliminate the Wild Sect in this way, and when the time came, it could be completely pushed to the head of Yunding Peak, and it had nothing to do with the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

It seems that he and Yun Dingfeng are going to be used as guns by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, but he is not worried, at least the Heavenly Sword Pavilion chose to let Yun Dingfeng come forward to do this, which shows that they still have a lot of trust in Lu Zongnian and Yun Dingfeng, once the matter is big, the Murong family will definitely come forward to solve the matter.

It's just that being used as a gun by others makes Chu Yan's heart feel very awkward.

Early the next morning, a group of eight people planned to leave, but fortunately, among the two shops with top accounts of Wang Wei and Lin Xiaofeng, there were also two in Youcheng, which could be used as a temporary place for everyone to stay.

Starting from Cloud City, walking northward to the west for a few days, even if you come to the sphere of influence of Youcheng.

"Seeing that the mountain peak in the distance has no ......" At this time, Gu Tianduo pointed to a tall mountain in the distance, with clouds and fog on the top of the mountain, and said: "That is where the sect of the Wild Sect is located, and it is only half a day's journey away from the ghost city. ”

As he spoke, the old man looked at Chu Yan, "Stinky boy, do you want to go to the Wild Sect first, or do you want to go around the ghost city first?"

"Let's go to the ghost city first. ”

Chu Yan made a decision, and after walking for more than a day, a tall and scarred city wall finally came into everyone's eyes. Chu Yan stood under the tall city wall, feeling as small as an ant on the ground, and sighed in his heart.

Looking at the scars covered by the huge city wall, Chu Yan could feel the shocking and tragic battles that had taken place here.

How many soldiers died on the battlefield and buried their bones here, I believe that there is no way to count, and no one will remember their names, only this solid and heavy city wall is with them, telling their desolation and sorrow.

Chu Yan stood under the city wall for a long time, and there seemed to be a team of soldiers rushing to the battlefield in front of him, and their relatives stood on the city wall to see them off, but since then, there has been no news, and all this stems from war and interests......

Thinking of this, Chu Yan sighed again, full of feelings.

When the victors speak boldly and despise everything, do they think about the hardships of those orphans and widows, and when the victors write books and biographies for themselves, sing praises of virtue, and are admired by all generations, do they think about how many white hairs and black hairs there are?

Whether it is bold words or admiration for all generations, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the word interest at work, this is the only essence of war, no matter how gorgeous the war is, in the end it can only be a golden appearance, defeated in it, and it seems to be contrived.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and then walked into this war-torn town with everyone. (To be continued.) )
