The next morning, Shi Jiu came to the largest car shop in Blackwater City, and then got on the Chitian carriage to the border town of Jishui City, and arrived two days later.

Jishui City is located in the border area of Longnan County, and the Jishui River in the east of the country is Liaoshui County.

Shi Jiu pointed here for a day, and then set off again for the nearest town in Liaoshui County, Hunhe City.

Hunhe City is relatively close, and it takes half a day to arrive.

Shi Jiu found an inn to stay in temporarily, and studied the route after that.

In the room, Shi Jiu opened the map, and after determining the direction of the Shuimu Mountain Range, he planned the route for the future.

It's about 10,000 miles away from the Mizume Mountains, which isn't too far, and you probably need to change trains again in between.

After resting for one night in Hunhe City, Shi Jiu set off again the next day.

Three days later, Shi Jiu successfully arrived at Muhe Town, a small town next to the Shuimu Mountain Range.

The town of Muhe is named after the river that flows through the town, and the population of the whole town is small, more than half of them are outsiders, and they basically make a living by mining ores here.

Shi Jiu had a general understanding that the Shuimu Mountains are not only rich in Shuimu crystals, but also have a lot of other ores, and occasionally they can dig up crystals, but most of them are scattered, the grade is not high, and there has been no crystalline vein ore.

The people who came here to mine, except for some scattered people, most of them were organized and recruited by various sects in Liaoshui County, and the location they occupied was also the best, among which the Ghost Fire Sect had the largest sphere of influence and occupied the best location.

Shi Jiu was not surprised by this, after all, the Ghost Fire Sect was the strongest sect in Liaoshui County, and their old sect master had just survived the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Soul Realm powerhouse half a year ago, and the limelight was even more momentary.

"I can't say that the Ghost Fire Sect will produce another soul realm powerhouse, and it will even lead to the division of forces in the surrounding counties."

Shi Jiu thought of some rumors he had heard in Blackwater City a few days ago, and there were two of them involving the Ghost Fire Sect, one was that the Ghost Fire Sect had won a share of the Spiritual Saliva Essence, and the other was that they might form an alliance with the Mixed Yuan Palace. No matter which one is a big event, you can meet that soon this Liaoshui County will not be peaceful, and many forces will compete to come here.

The battle of these big forces, Shi Jiu was not very interested.

"Collect as many crystals as you can, and get out of here." Shi Jiu also set a goal for his trip to the Shuimu Mountain Range, as long as he collected enough Shuimu Crystals, he would leave Liaoshui County.

Liaoshui County, Ghost Fire City, here is the base camp of the Ghost Fire Sect. In today's Ghost Fire City, various forces are surging, but everyone's target source is in the Ghost Fire Sect.

Inside the main hall of the Ghost Fire Sect.

"Second Elder, there have been a lot of outsiders in Ghost Fire City in the past few days, and all of them are not ordinary people." In the main hall, a disciple of the Ghost Fire Sect replied.

"Got it, they keep watching, go down." The second elder of the Ghost Fire Sect sat on the elder's chair on the side, closing his eyes and cultivating his spirit.

"Yes, Elder." After speaking, the returning disciple retreated.

"Second brother, most of these people have people from the Peerless Palace and the Tonglin Palace, they must want to find out our truth, what should we do?" Beside the second elder, an old man with a thin figure and sunken eyes, but his eyes were like ghostly fire, asked after the returning disciple stepped back.

"Don't worry, Fourth Sect Master, they have long expected it, we will continue to monitor everything as usual." The second elder of the Ghost Fire Sect still closed his eyes and cultivated his divine dao.

"Has the sect master successfully resisted there and started the tribulation?" The emaciated Fourth Elder then asked.

"I have received news this morning that the sect master and they have successfully arrived in the Dark Hill Canyon, and they will be tribulated in the next few days." The Second Elder opened his eyes, revealing his ghostly eyes.

"I hope that the sect master will survive the catastrophe." The four elders were a little worried.

"Don't worry, with the old sect master and the great elder, plus the sect master has already taken the essence of spiritual saliva, this heavenly tribulation should be no big problem." The Second Elder turned his head and said to the Fourth Elder beside him.

"That's good...... By the way, Second Brother, I heard that there have been Heavenly Tribulations in three places in Longnan County in the past few days, could it be ......" The Fourth Elder of the Ghost Fire Sect then asked.

"Well, it should be caused by the forces that bid for the essence of the ambergris, two of which should be the Peerless Palace and the Tonglin Palace, and the other one is unknown, but we have sent someone to investigate, and there will be results in the near future."

"Peerless Palace, Tonglin Palace? That's probably their respective palace masters and hall masters who are crossing the tribulation, but I don't know if they succeeded? Hearing the Second Elder's answer, the Fourth Elder became worried again.

"I don't want to admit it, but I think it's a success. Although the news blockade of those two families is tight, our people can still see a thing or two from the expressions of some of their insiders. The second elder was a little helpless.

This kind of thing is not good for their Ghost Fire Sect, originally the old sect master successfully entered the soul realm, narrowing the gap between their Ghost Fire Sect and the Peerless Palace and Tonglin Palace, and this time the strength opened again.

"But fortunately, the sect master is about to cross the catastrophe, and when the time comes, we will also have two soul realm powerhouses, so we will no longer be worse than those two, plus the alliance with the Mixed Yuan Palace, we will have the upper hand at that time." Speaking of this, the second elder of the Ghost Fire Sect smiled, but if this smile was seen by outsiders, they would inevitably feel frightened, this was completely a grimace zombie who forcibly distorted his face.

"The second brother is right, we just wait for the good news of the sect master, and when the time comes, ...... Boom! The Second Elder's words raised the Fourth Elder's confidence, causing him to let out a sinister laugh.

In an inn in Ghost Fire City, the four elders of the Peerless Palace and the others were listening to the report of their disciples.

"Fourth brother, do you think this Ghost Fire Sect Master is still in Ghost Fire City?" The Fifth Elder of the Peerless Palace asked.

Just after hearing the report of his disciples, the Ghost Fire Sect strengthened its vigilance, except for the patrolling disciples, the sect master and the elders did not see any of them.

"Well, it's very likely, rumors say that their sect master has also obtained a spiritual saliva essence, maybe he is secretly traveling in a place that no one knows about at this moment." The four elders of the Peerless Palace frowned, and their mood was slightly gloomy.

Since the Ghost Fire Sect Master led people to ambush them in Tonglin City, the relationship between the two factions has fallen to the bottom, and the two sides are hostile and hostile to each other, although they have not yet retaliated against the Ghost Fire Sect, but such a thing is predictable, plus the Ghost Fire Sect is going to form an alliance with the Mixed Yuan Palace, which has seriously threatened the status of their peerless palace, and a battle between the two sides is almost inevitable.

"Fourth brother, what should we do then? It doesn't serve to stay here. The fifth elder was a little overwhelmed and hurriedly asked.

"I'll spread the news here to the palace later, and let the palace master make a decision." Now it is really useless for them to continue to stay here, they can only inform the palace master of the situation here, the Great Elder and the others, and let the palace master make a decision.

Half an hour later, they received a reply.

"Fourth brother, what do they say, palace master?" At this moment, the four elders of the Peerless Palace were reading the news from the special channel.

"The palace master is in retreat to repair his injuries, Elder Taishang asked us to continue to monitor, in addition, Elder Taishang also said that in the near future, Tonglin Hall will send someone to discuss the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Mixed Yuan Palace, and maybe we may form an alliance with Tonglin Hall at that time." After reading the news, a cloud of sparks erupted from the fingertips of the four elders, and the message note burned to ashes in an instant.

"Really? That's great, so we don't have anything to worry about! Hearing what the Fourth Elder said, the Fifth Elder breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little excitement.

"Don't be too happy, it's hard to say about our alliance with Tonglin Palace, everything has to be decided by the truth or falsehood of the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Mixed Yuan Palace." The Fourth Elder reminded.

"By the way, it's not just us who came to Ghost Fire City to investigate the news this time, Tonglin Palace, Ludan Valley, and Linyi Gang have also sent people, and I'll personally go to their person in charge here later, and ask each other about the situation, maybe there will be unexpected gains." Five, you stay here and take care of other things. The four elders continued.

"Okay, Fourth Brother."

After speaking, the four elders of the Peerless Palace walked out of the inn.

In another inn in Ghost Fire City, the four elders of Tonglin Hall were also listening to the reports of their disciples.

"So, the Ghost Fire Sect Master should no longer be in the Ghost Fire City?" The four elders of Tonglin Hall said thoughtfully.

Just now he heard from his disciples that the current Ghost Fire Sect was not only on strengthened vigilance, but the elders in the sect were all gone, as if they were isolated from the world, and another disciple reported that someone had seen the team of the Ghost Fire Sect in the Great Crack of Luodong.

"Fourth Elder, how could someone from the Ghost Fire Sect appear in the Luodong Great Rift?" His disciples asked puzzled.

"Okay, it's not your business, continue to inquire, don't miss important news, and pay special attention to the situation of the big crack in Luodong, and reply as soon as there is news." The four elders of Tonglin Hall said.

"Yes." After saying that, the returning disciple retreated.

"The Great Crack of Nakdon...... It seems that the Ghost Fire Sect Master wants to survive in the Dark Hill Canyon. The four elders of Tonglin Hall seemed to have thought of something.

The Luodong Great Crack is also in Liaoshui County, but it is 20,000 miles away from Ghost Fire City, but there is nothing else there except for the Great Crack, the Ghost Fire Sect will not go there for no reason, and before the combination, the news provided by the palace was received, and the Ghost Fire Sect Master is suspected of getting a piece of the essence of spiritual saliva, that is most likely to want to cross the tribulation, and the tribulation must find a quiet and uninhabited place, so it seems that the place where the other party wants to go can only be the dark hill canyon not far from the Luodong Great Rift. It is perennially gloomy and rarely inhabited, making it ideal for a catastrophe.

After figuring this out, the four elders of Tonglin Hall immediately got up, and then used a special method to transmit the news back to the hall.

Not long after the four elders of the Tonglin Hall transmitted the news back to the hall, the four elders of the Peerless Palace came.

"Elder Hu, don't come unharmed!" The four elders of the Peerless Palace said to the four elders of the Tonglin Hall with a smile.

"Hehe, what did Elder Bai say, since the farewell of Dream Island, we haven't seen each other for three years, right?" The four elders of Tonglin Hall welcomed each other into the room with a smile, "This is not my Tonglin Palace, I can only invite you to take a moment, and when Elder Bai comes to my Tonglin Palace, I will be a good reception." ”

"Elder Hu is polite, we all go out to do things for the sect, and we don't pay attention to these, but I came here a little abruptly." The four elders of the Peerless Palace said with a smile.

"What is Elder Bai here for?" The four elders of Tonglin Hall asked, but they had already guessed the purpose of the other party's trip in their hearts, and they didn't say it explicitly.

"I won't beat around the bush anymore, presumably the Ghost Fire Sect has obtained a copy of the essence of the spirit saliva and the alliance with the Mixed Yuan Palace, Elder Hu already knows, right?" The Fourth Elder of the Peerless Palace said.

"Well, I do know that this time I came to Ghost Fire City to find out if the news is true." The four elders of Tonglin Hall did not hide it.

"We received the news, most of these two pieces of news are true, now the Ghost Fire Sect is too arrogant, and it is bound to use this matter to challenge the status of our two factions, I don't think this is what you want to see, right?" The Fourth Elder of the Peerless Palace continued.

"Elder Bai might as well say something directly."

"Okay, Elder Hu, hurry up, then I'll say it directly. The high-level leaders of our two families will discuss the matter of the Ghost Fire Sect in the near future, at least in this regard, my Peerless Palace and your Tonglin Hall are on the same side, so I want to know if you have some special news about the Ghost Fire Sect? The four elders of the Peerless Palace said directly.

"It's true that in this matter, our two families stand together, then I won't hide it, I just received news that a team from the Ghost Fire Sect appeared in the Luodong Great Rift." After pondering for a moment, the four elders of the Tonglin Hall replied.

"The Great Crack of Lodon? What are they going to do there? Hearing what the other party said, the four elders of the Peerless Palace were a little surprised.

"I suspect that they want to go to the Dark Hill Canyon, which is inaccessible and perfect for a robbery." The four elders of Tonglin Hall directly said their previous guesses and did not hide them.

"Dark Hills Canyon? Well, it seems that the Ghost Fire Sect Master is really going to cross the catastrophe, thank you Elder Hu for telling me, I have written down this situation. Elder Bai clenched his fists in thanks.

"Elder Bai is polite, just like you said, our two families are standing together in this regard, but the Dark Hill Canyon is a little far away, and we have no time to stop it." Speaking of this, Elder Hu shook his head.

"Although it can't be stopped, the Ghost Fire Sect Master may not be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, and even if he can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, he will definitely be in a weak period and need to recover from the injuries caused by the Heavenly Tribulation, I will send the news back to the palace now, and let the Palace Master decide. By the way, Elder Hu should have already sent the news back to the sect, right? ”‘

"Just before Elder Bai came, it was just sent back."

"Okay, then I won't bother, next time I'll ask Elder Hu to have a drink."

"Okay, then I won't send it."

"No."

Back at the inn, the four elders of the Peerless Palace immediately sent the news back to the palace.

"Fourth brother, it seems that there is a harvest?" The Fifth Elder said.

"Well, it's not in vain, the Ghost Fire Sect Master and the others are really no longer in the Ghost Fire City, they have already gone to the Dark Hill Canyon, they should be planning to spend the catastrophe there." Elder Bai said with a gloomy face.

In this way, the other party really bid for a piece of salivation. Damn, we obviously got a copy, and they even dared to ambush us in Tonglin City, could it be that the Ghost Fire Sect really wanted to challenge us and dominate the surrounding counties? The Fifth Elder of the Peerless Palace said angrily.

"Humph! The Ghost Fire Sect has always been arrogant and domineering, most of them have this idea, it seems that we will have a battle with them! ”

"Then the palace master they ......"

"Don't worry, the palace master and the Supreme Elder must see it more clearly than us, and I believe that there will be action soon." Elder Bai looked at the Ghost Fire Sect's base camp through the window and said softly.

"What the fourth brother said is that we just need to wait for the palace master's reply."

At this moment, the big forces in Ghost Fire City and even the surrounding counties began to surge, and everyone knew that something big would happen soon.
