Earlier, the Valley Hall.

The old valley lord and several elders were sitting there, and there were several master guards of the shadow department beside him, and in the middle of the hall stood a beautiful woman, this woman looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a black strong coat, and the word "shadow" was also engraved on her chest, this woman's appearance was respectful but calm, and she looked quite capable.

If someone else in the valley saw it, they would be able to easily recognize that this Qingli woman was the only female leader among the four leaders of the Shadow Department - Qing Yan, and now because the main mountain of the Shadow Department is not in the valley, she is now temporarily acting as the head of the Shadow Department.

The old valley master said: "Qing Yan, what was the situation last night?"

Qing Yan said: "Back to the valley master, last night the night patrol of my shadow department, found a few suspicious characters quietly approaching my valley on the east and south sides of the valley, these people are extremely hidden, vigilant surname is very high, because it is late, so they were not caught on the spot, and then I sent several groups of shadow department members, and found that there were also suspicious characters hundreds of miles away from the valley, the number is unknown, one of them was captured, but the person immediately died by cutting off the meridians. ”

Several elders were suddenly shocked, if they were just caught, they would naturally not be surprised, maybe they also thought that it was just a martial artist from the You Fang, but they died by cutting off their meridians, such a ruthless method was undoubtedly a group of well-trained martial artists, and this matter was extraordinary.

The old valley lord asked, "Have you found out the origin of these people?"

Qing Yan said: "It's not clear yet, but it can be found that the cultivation of these people is not weak, they are all around the condensation realm, and their movements are irregular, it looks more like they are searching for something, according to their subordinates, they should not have found the target they are looking for, so they are close to the valley." ”

When Lao Gutou heard this, he looked at several elders and said, "What do you think about this?"

Luo Daodao: "These people are obviously under the control of someone behind them, and now they are close to my valley to act secretly, we must not slack off at this time, we must investigate it thoroughly." ”

Huang Yaoshi said: "These people can't be sent by Yancheng, right?" Although the valley has guarded the eastern part of the Fire Clan to resist the Water Clan for generations, generally speaking, the people of the Water Clan cannot pass through the dangerous places of the Fire Thorn Ridge, and it is impossible to sneak into the territory of the Hidden Valley, which means that it can almost be concluded that they are people from other forces within the Fire Clan, and among them, Yancheng, who has always wanted to dominate the entire Fire Clan, is naturally the most suspicious.

Luo He groaned and said, "That's not necessarily, although Yancheng has always coveted my valley, it is always too far away from us, and it is not easy to say at the moment." ”

Qin Lao also nodded, and said, "Yes, Huicheng is next to my valley, and they have always worn a pair of pants with Yancheng, maybe they sent it." As soon as Elder Qin said this, the rest of the elders couldn't help but bow slightly.

The old valley lord said again: "Qing Yan, where are these people now?"

Qing Yan said: "Back to the valley master, after the whereabouts of these people were exposed last night, they have been lurking, because the outside of the valley is too big, the subordinates have sent several batches of shadow members, but they have not seen their traces, I believe that they can hide from the eyes of the shadow master, they should be lurking on the spot." ”

Luo Daodao: "This can't be done, how can I tolerate the random actions of these sneaky people in my valley realm, I must find them out." ”

Qing Yan said again: "Elder rest assured, his subordinates have sent a large number of shadow members to conduct a carpet survey of the land within a hundred miles outside the valley, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of the valley." ”

The old valley master thought for a while and said, "Is there enough people in the shadow department?"

Qing Yan said: "It should be enough, the members of the shadow club are all martial arts masters, although there are not many of them, but it is not easy to escape their eyes." ”

The old valley lord nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Qing Yan, this time the task of investigation, you will also send the children on the Heavenly Chick List in the cave to participate in the coordination." ”

Luo He was taken aback and said: "Valley Master, the children in the cave are the hope of my valley, and they are still in the cultivation stage, how can they get out of the valley so easily, if there is an accident, what should I do?"

Elder Qin on the side also said: "Although the cultivation of these people is not very high, for those children in the cave, it is not something they can deal with, is it a little wrong to send them to investigate now?"

Huang Yaoshi's face was a little worried, and he said: "Yes, although the place outside the valley is very large, there is no need to search for them all, as long as the shadow department catches a few people, I believe it is not difficult, why let those little guys participate?"

The old valley lord said: "Those suspicious people are almost all operating on the east and south sides of the valley, this time the place for them to explore is on the north side, and most of the people in the shadow department are scattered around, I believe it should be fine." Although those children also need to do some tasks from time to time, they have not seen the wind and rain after all, and it is good to let them participate this time to gain some experience. ”

Although the elders were a little worried, they had no choice but to nod when they saw the valley master say this.

The old valley lord said to Qing Yan: "These people must have a plan when they come to my valley, and this time we must find out the origin and intentions of the other party." ”

Qing Yan said: "Yes, valley master." ”

Dozens of miles outside the valley.

Mo Han and his three squads were separated by dozens of miles, and in a parallel manner, they moved forward to a hundred miles to the north of the valley, and once they found the enemy's situation, they would report it quickly, and the masters of the shadow department would come immediately. This time, they were able to personally participate in the operation of the Shadow Department, although it was only a coordinated investigation, which still made them extremely excited, but Mo Han and they were also very cautious and carried it out very slowly.

Outside the valley are mostly dense forests, the dense forests are very large and stretch for hundreds of miles, out of the dense forests is the endless wasteland, mountains, after a morning of advancement, also only thirty miles forward.

Xin'er said: "Xiao Han, where did you say all those annihilators went?"

Mo Han thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I shouldn't go far, after all, the members of the Shadow Department are all martial arts masters, if they move forward quickly, they will definitely be detected by those masters, and the best way at the moment is to hide on the spot, so as not to be discovered." ”

Xin'er nodded and said, "It would be nice if I could catch one this time." ”

Mo Han was secretly thinking, I don't know what the purpose of this group of people is?

Although the ninth-order demon beast Black Abyss Giant Python attacked the valley fourteen years ago, causing heavy losses in the valley, and Xin'er's father was also killed in that battle, but the foundation of the valley is very strong after all, and the strength of the shadow department is even stronger than before, these people dare to act in such a secret way as close to the valley, they must have a major plan.
