Ling Xuan stood on a high platform in the underground palace, his whole person seemed to be in a fixed position, if it weren't for the normal blinking of his eyes, to outsiders, he would look like a cold clay puppet.

The tall and sturdy green-eyed black shadow stood quietly behind Ling Xuan as usual, seemingly calm, like a pool of deep stagnant water, but Ling Xuan knew very well that the black shadow behind him was enough to rival the strength of a peak half-step grandmaster, as long as it received an order, it could suddenly appear in front of the enemy in the next breath, crushing any resistance that was beyond its strength into bloody mud.

Under the high platform, there were faint sounds of whipping, shouting, and scolding, and children's wails, which entered Ling Xuan's heart, which had become numb, and at most set off a fleeting wave, and then returned to calm, and there was no sound again.

When did he start to become so indifferent, Ling Xuan's heart inexplicably jumped out of such a question, and his thoughts drifted to the distant past, since he first completed a task for the Lu Clan? Was it after making the decision to betray the sect? It was still after the assistance of the banner envoy of the Lu clan named Thousand Faces that he stabbed the short knife into the hearts of his teacher and his fellow disciples......

Ling Xuan clenched his fists and threw all the distractions out of his mind, instead trying his best to think about every step of the plan to be completed next.

After a while, a young man in a black robe without a trace of blood on his face walked into the high platform, held a letter in both hands, and said with a humble face: "Elder Ling, this is a secret letter from Lord Hei Ying to you, and only you and the Yin Bell Lord have the right to open and view the contents of the letter. ”

"Got it." Ling Xuan didn't turn around, just stretched out his hand to take the letter, "When will Yin Ling come over?" The final step of the plan is about to begin. ”

"The helmsman is on his way, and he will be there tonight. The two brokers in Kenbin City who helped us collect the children knew a little better, so the helmsman took a little extra effort to take care of them to prevent future troubles. ”

"Can you get to the main dungeon before tonight?"

"Rest assured, Elder, the helmsman will be there before then."

"Okay. What about the team sent by the Black Underworld to receive the treasure, is it already in place? ”

"It's in place, ready to go."

"I know, you go and send a message to the leader of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, tonight, we will carry out the warm-up of the Spring Urging Array, and there will be a ground movement in the forbidden area, at that time, the blasting box I reserved at the key points of the forbidden area will seal most of the passages into the area around the strange treasure, and only a few important and hidden paths can still be passed, so that the follow-up people of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce can enter from the third trail in the northeast."

"Understood, I'll do it."

"Okay, you stand down, let the people who transport the children below be lighter, the children you have collected are very weak and bone...... At least until the altar is officially opened, we need these children alive. ”

"Understood, then I'll retire next."

After the young man left, Ling Xuan looked at the darkness below the high platform, and suddenly ordered the tall black shadow behind him: "Seventeen, you go and inspect the Water Gate Formation in various places on the side again, and then, after midnight tonight, go to the No. 3 trail in the northeast and kill all the pedestrians." ”

The tall black shadow finally moved, its figure swayed slightly, and disappeared from the high platform in an instant.

Ling Xuan sighed lightly and said to himself, "Xiao Neng...... This killing in the forbidden area is beyond my control, I hope you can stay in the city in peace these days......"

……

The sun was gradually setting in the sky, and on a hillside near the small waterfall, a second team of men and horses led by Ma Guo, Xu Fengshi, and a cultivator realm monk named Zhou Yan were stationed halfway up the mountainside, lighting a fire to boil water and rest.

Zhou Yan walked around the camp with nothing to do, and the whole person was a little bored, but his own mentality was still very good, and he planned to follow the caravan these days, take the honorarium after completing the task, and by the way, brush his face here in the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, and then go back to the sect and then go to the wife and children to hot kang.

As for Zhou Yan, does he have any thoughts about the treasures in the forbidden area? Nonsense, not to mention that the treasure has been booked by the giant merchant of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, in front of him Zhou Yan, there are three half-step grandmasters, that is, Ma Guo, although he is in the same realm, but in terms of cultivation, he can really suppress Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan is very self-aware, how dare he have thoughts, he can't drink hot soup by himself.

A terrible birdsong sounded in the air, and then a black shadow fluttered through the air and fell towards the other end of the camp, Zhou Yan looked fixedly, it turned out to be a black strange bird, what kind of bird it was, he couldn't see it clearly.

"It's really bad luck to step on the mother, and it looks like she's going to die." Zhou Yan spat on the ground dissatisfied, patted his sleeve, and then continued to wander around the camp, humming a mountain song softly in his mouth.

At the other end of the camp, the black-haired monster bird that had just flown over Zhou Yan's head had landed firmly in front of Ma Guo and Xu Fengshi at this time. The strange bird looked directly at the two in front of him proudly, and his light blue pupils gave a sharp, scrutinizing gaze.

Ma Guo didn't say a word, stretched out his big hand and directly grabbed the back of the strange bird's neck, and in the frightened cry of the strange bird and the indiscriminate fluttering of its wings, he opened the bamboo tube on the strange bird's leg and took out the letter paper inside.

"The letter from those people? What does it say? Xu Fengshi hurriedly leaned over and asked.

"The ground movement is scheduled for the evening, when the road leading to the outside world in this area will be blocked by the damage caused by the ground movement, but there will be a trail in the northeast intact that our follow-up team can come from there."

Xu Fengshi's face was a little unsightly, "Ma Guo, the things in the forbidden area are not mainly responsible for me, so there are some things that should not have been brought up by me, but you, Qingwen, and those heads and brains of the Chamber of Commerce Branch, are you really at ease with the cooperation between those people?" Moreover, until now, the branch leader had not mentioned to me the origin of those people, could it be that he really felt that Elder Ling and the forces behind him were so credible that they would not break the contract and turn their backs on us after finding the strange treasure? ”

Ma Guo lit a flame in his hand, burned the secret letter that was sent, and then with a wave of his other hand, he threw the strange bird with a complaining look into the air and let it go.

"Fengshi, there are many things, in fact, I don't know, for your Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, I, Ma Guo, am just an outsider, but my fist and foot skills are much better than ordinary people, so some things have to be entrusted to me." Ma Guo explained, "Anyway, the heads of your chapter trust those people, but for me, as long as I can get what I want, I won't care about the rest." ”

Xu Fengshi was speechless, sighed, and said: "In this case, I don't have anything to say, anyway, I'm just a part-time worker, and I don't need to think about what the head and brain should have a headache." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Fengshi then asked: "What else do we need to do after the earth moves, is there a detailed explanation in the letter?" ”

Ma Guo replied: "Just follow the original plan, after the ground moves, we will send a signal that we have found the whereabouts of the strange treasure, gather all the centaurs in the No. 2 underground palace that will be exposed by the collapse of the earth's surface, and then go down to block the passage." ”
