Outside the Rising Sun City, ten horse-drawn carriages pulling a full load of Tongming stones were walking on the wide avenue. On both sides of the carriage were forty soldiers of Rising Sun City riding horses, and the person in charge of this mission was Cheng Lu. Cheng Lu, as a ninth-order talent of the Imperial Spirit, already had the strength to compete with the beginner-level Star Xuan Realm, and he had more than enough to escort a few cars of Tongming Stones.

Cheng Lu rode a tall horse at the front of the team, and on his left side was Zhan Yue, the weakest of the forty people.

"This month, the sunshine is quite sufficient, and there is a surplus of a large number of Tongming stones, except for those sold to the people, the rest need to be transported to the Northland volcano for dyeing, and the value of the fire attribute Tongming stone is higher. Such missions take place almost every few months, and this is already the fifth time I've been in charge of escorting. Cheng Lu introduced.

"I see, the Northland volcano is very far from here, almost at the northernmost point of the Eastern Territory, how long will this trip take?" Zhan Yue sat on horseback and said curiously.

Cheng Lu explained with a smile: "If you really only rely on horsepower, this trip will not take a year and a half." There is a stronghold in the north of Rising Sun City, where there is an ancient teleportation formation, and that formation just leads to the Northland, and the Northland also has an interconnected formation to return to that stronghold. So in fact, the trip only takes about half a month. The teleportation formation is very easy to use, but unfortunately we have long lost the method of arranging the formation, so we can only borrow the formation left over from our ancestors. ”

"It turns out that there is a teleportation formation connecting the two places, so I said why I went to a place so far away from the Northland Volcano." Zhan Yue sighed in his heart that this teleportation formation that ignored the distance was really useful, but he didn't know if the Tongming Goddess would be able to.

"How did such a magical formation get lost?" Zhan Yue wondered, the importance of this array is self-evident.

Cheng Lu shook his head and sighed, "How would I know?" But it is most likely lost in the civil strife of the Terrans, and the Terrans have never been unified since the fall of the Tongming Goddess. Legend has it that the Dire were almost wiped out, but unfortunately the Terran civil strife relieved them. After all, they occupied nine tenths of the wilderness, and the Terrans shrank in large numbers in the place where the Mingming Tower shines. Rao is like this, the various forces of the human race are still in constant dispute, and they don't seem to take the Dire clan seriously. Fortunately, later, Lei Zun and Jian Zun, two strong men, were born, and the two temporarily unified the Terran front, so that the big disputes were temporarily gone, but the small frictions continued. ”

"Lei Zun, Sword Venerable...."Zhan Yue wrote down these two names.

"Do you know about the Nightlord's rebellion?" Cheng Lu asked again.

Zhan Yue nodded, "I've seen it in the book, and it seems that the person who assassinated the Holy Maiden before was the one who killed the Night Monarch." ”

Cheng Lu nodded and added, "Between the Chaoyang Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom, there used to be a small country called the Night Kingdom. Although the Night Country is small, it is very rich in domestic resources, and there are even several ancient ruins. Later, legend has it that the court of the Night Kingdom, from the monarch to the courtiers, were possessed by the Dire, making the Night Kingdom a stronghold of the Dire. The Chaoyang Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom jointly sent troops to exterminate it, and everything was normal so far. ”

Cheng Lu paused and sighed: "The court of the Night Kingdom has been wiped out by the Dire clan that is possessed, but the Prince of the Night Kingdom is still in the lineage, and the two countries should have withdrawn their troops, and they are still located in the Prince of the Night Kingdom. It's a pity that the kings of both countries are so interested in their interests that they even falsify some evidence, claiming that the prince's vein is also possessed by Dire, and then eradicate his vein. The two countries divided the territory and resources of the Night Country. Who knew that the prince left a son in the world, it was - Night Monarch, a hundred years later, the Night Monarch's strength was great, it was the rebellion of the Night Monarch that caused heavy losses to the Chaoyang Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom, in order to stabilize the situation, Jian Zun made a move, but unfortunately the strength of the Night Monarch was extraordinary, and Jian Zun failed to kill him and let him escape. ”

"Brother Cheng, how do you know so clearly?" Zhan Yue frowned and said curiously, shouldn't this matter be top secret?

"It's not the news that the Night Monarch has made public, otherwise why would he only find trouble in the Eastern Kingdom and the Chaoyang Kingdom? But a hundred years have passed, and even if everyone knows that what happened at the beginning was the fault of the two empires, so what? It's impossible to help the Night Monarch recover now. What's more, even if he helps him restore the country, will he be able to forgive the two empires? I remember that Lei Zun intervened, but it ended in failure. Cheng Lu said that although he is a citizen of the Eastern Kingdom, he is not an unreasonable person.

Zhan Yue sighed with emotion: "Yes, if I were the Night Monarch, I would definitely not want to stop there, when the Night Kingdom was destroyed, Lei Zun Sword Venerable did not make a move, but now he came to seek revenge, but Lei Zun Sword Venerable made a move." In his opinion, isn't this just pulling the shelf? ”

"Hey, who said it wasn't, even if the two predecessors of Lei Zun and Sword Venerable didn't mean this, they were the one who was deceived in the matter of the Night Kingdom, but the result of the fact is like this. This kind of thing is not uncommon among the human race, and the hatred between countries will emerge at some point, hey, the so-called unity is really a dream... If it weren't for Lei Zun and Sword Zun to suppress it by force, otherwise without waiting for the Dire to attack, the Terrans would be destroyed by attacking each other. Cheng Lu's eyes were full of pessimism.

Zhan Yue only felt a headache, because whether he was standing on the position of Lei Zun Sword Venerable or on the position of Dongguo, he now had to kill the Night Monarch, even if they were the ones who were wrong first, otherwise this grudge would only be endless. What the Night Monarch wants is obviously not as simple as admitting the mistakes of the two empires, so there is no possibility of peace talks.

Zhan Yue still remembered Mi Hongchen's words, because countless lives had been buried in the Night Monarch's rebellion, and nine out of ten of them were innocent, and the righteousness of the Night Monarch had long been lost. His actions against the Holy Maiden illustrate this even more, he is no longer against the two empires, but against the entire human race. The nature of things has long since changed.

"Don't talk about this, even Lei Zun Sword Venerable can't solve the problem, and we two ants can't change anything. By the way, the map I gave you earlier must be kept safe, once a person gets lost in the wild, it is equivalent to certain death. Night is the realm of Dire, and the Terrans can only rest in various strongholds, so they must find a suitable stronghold to settle in during the day, and the map records the strongholds on various roads in the eastern kingdom of China. Cheng Lu reminded.

"Well, thank you Brother Cheng. It's a pity that we don't have the ability to fly, otherwise wouldn't it be easy to rush to the stronghold? Zhan Yue said with some regret.

"There are four ways to fly, the first is to cultivate to the spirit realm, you and I don't have to think about this; Second, it's a contract flying animal, and it's not that you and I don't have a chance; Third, it is to get a flying exercise, and the flying exercise is at least the seven-grade gold quality (white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, gold, and color god) and it is not something we can get; Fourth, it's a flying mecha, which can be done with money, but unfortunately the flight speed and flight time are far inferior to the other three ways. Cheng Lu said with a smile.

As they talked, they arrived at a stronghold, where they had to stop as it was getting dark.

In the Sunset Wasteland, in the Sunset Castle, two figures visit late at night.

"Mou Shuai, according to the inspection of his subordinates, the mystery of the ancient castle has not been discovered, you can rest assured." One of the figures said respectfully to the other, it was the Lord of the Sunset Wasteland.

"The Lord of the Vulture is guarding this place on my orders, and I will also pay some responsibility for its death. But I don't know who it died at, by the way, you tell me to let the 'soul seekers' of the Nightmare Clan move, but they are not allowed to harm the Terrans, so as not to startle the snakes, just tell them to find out the whereabouts of the Soul Fruit. As long as we find the Ghost Fruit, we will naturally be able to find the murderer of the Lord of the Vultures. The commander commanded.

"Obey the order, seek the commander's opinion, I can't wait for the dust." The star disgusting lord on the side complimented.

"Hmph, how did you learn the Terran sycophant?" Mou Shuai said dissatisfied.

"Uh... Seeking a commander, his subordinates are from the heart. Take the matter of the Night Kingdom as an example, you laid out to seize the monarchs and ministers of the Night Kingdom, but deliberately let go of the prince's lineage, and escorted the talented prince all the way, and finally let him grow into the 'Night Monarch', which became a major problem for the human race.

The minds of the human race are pinched to death by you, you said that the Chaoyang Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom took the opportunity to destroy the Night Kingdom and occupy its territory, and they really did so, you said that the son of the prince can become a generation of strong people in the future and cause turmoil, and a hundred years later, it will be as you expected. Whether it is the Chaoyang Kingdom, the Eastern Kingdom, or the Lei Zun, the Sword Zun, or the Night Monarch, they are all played by you. Such a god-like plan, how can I not be admired. The Star Disgusting Lord sighed.

Mou Shuai smiled slightly, "It's just a small fight, this move is just one of my skills, but my magic move is something you can't comprehend." ”

"This hand? Trick? What do you mean, Mou Shuai. The Star Elder Monarch was puzzled.

"It's just a Terran chess term. In order to defeat the Terrans, I studied a lot of knowledge of the Terrans, including chess, formations, the art of war, history, mythology, art, magic, etc., and knew themselves better than many Terrans. Mou Shuai explained.

"If my Dire clan can have such a character as a schemist, it should also be prosperous for my clan, this is the will of God!" The Star Monarch was heartily excited, and there was a world of difference between the commander and these brave and reckless men, which was why all the Dire Lords were convinced by the commander.
