The smoke of gunfire billowed from Lingping City, and it was not until early in the morning that the dawn of hope was ushered in, and various works of post-disaster reconstruction began. And in the rolling mountains hundreds of miles away, a towering mountain peak seems to have been affected by the turmoil of Lingping City, and the sound of fighting from the middle of the night continues until dawn, and the mountain trees are filled with the smell of bloody killing, the wails of wild beasts are endless, and the birds are not fleeing from the raging plague gods.

The palace complex hidden in the mountains, the appearance of which has been washed away by time, is extremely luxurious inside, the brilliance is still the same, the glittering ornaments are everywhere, and the exquisite murals are enough to be passed down for thousands of years without being conventional. The tea set on the low table, the porcelain vase on the high shelf, and the spiritual power lamp hanging on the roof, which is not a treasure of unimaginable value.

The most dazzling is still a seat in the innermost room of the palace, on which the dragon and phoenix are carved, carved and cast from precious stones and gold, which contains spiritual power fluctuations symbolize that this object should also hide a special material, if there is a master with the same attributes to perceive it attentively, you can find that the seat can really emit a dragon and phoenix-like roar, which makes people both afraid and longing.

Therefore, Wu Chengxi directly cast a special secret method to directly lock the spiritual power fluctuations on it, so as to prevent demagogic people in subtle places and cause unnecessary trouble.

From late yesterday night to the present early morning, the battle has been going on with a devastating momentum, until the end of now, the Demon Sect has hardly carried out a meaningful resistance, nothing more than to take out the cannon fodder used to the bottom, and send the dead chess pieces to temporarily block the military's fierce offensive.

Wu Chengxi smiled self-deprecatingly, staring at an incomparably mysterious fluorescent vortex in front of him, this is the passage of the jumping formation, the real masters of the Demon Sect, those top forces that are enough to rebuild the Demon Sect all fled, leaving only a flaw that I don't know if it is a trap.

"What a trick. An old man beside Wu Chengxi sighed for the back hand of the Demon Sect.

Wu Chengxi quickly reviewed the whole plan in his heart, the game within the game should have ended in a complete victory for his side, who knew that there was a great change in the descendation of the Heavenly Demon, and the action of encircling and suppressing the Demon Sect's lair had seventy percent of the elite attack, plus five hundred armor soldiers, which even made Ling Ping's strength in the city weak, not enough to fight against the Heavenly Demon.

That's why he ordered to attack more violently, who knew that now the opponent's jumping formation would retain the top strength, so that the Demon Sect would have a chance to re-establish it in a different place.

There are two reasons for everything, one is because the Demon Sect Lu Shen has too much foreshadowing and strong strength, and he has already arranged a lot of seeds that are enough to subvert the entire city when the military is not aware of it, and the other party has a great plan, although the plan formulated is to disrupt all the other party's arrangements, but now the loss is so great that it is really impossible to explain to the imperial court.

The second reason is that the military still knows too little about the Demon Sect, and there are no spies who can penetrate deep into the enemy, so they don't know anything about the Demon Sect's backhand, which is why there are today's big flaws and loopholes.

But now, there is no point in complaining or regretting, everything they can do has been done to the best, Wu Chengxi no longer thought about it, and looked at the present, he beckoned and said, "Elder Zhou, you should be able to detect the exit of the jumping formation." ”

"Well, presumably now this formation has completely formed a grinding killing array, it really shouldn't be entered, there is no mistake in the plan, what went wrong is nothing more than a natural and man-made disaster, the general should not blame himself too much, wait until the exit is explored and then pursue." ”

The brocade-clothed old man had white hair like snow, and his face was old, but his temperament was extraordinary, and the most striking thing was that his eyes were deep and deep, and he must have been a wise man after a long time.

Wu Chengxi also had great respect for this Elder Zhou, nodded his head, indicating that he understood, and then made a gesture of please, asking the old man to carefully deduce before going to the formation.

The old man surnamed Zhou wiped his hands, and a faint spiritual brilliance lingered around his fingertips, and took out a complex and indescribable astrolabe-like object from the gold and jade belt of storage, and then he sat down cross-legged directly, the astrolabe was placed on his lap, and his hands came out together to point on the astrolabe, and the spiritual brilliance swarmed in, reflecting a lot of light points on the astrolabe, and then connected into a straight line to form a pattern, the whole process was extremely mysterious, just like the ancient soothsayers contained in the mysterious and full of unknowns.

After about a cup of tea, the pattern on the astrolabe gradually dimmed, and the old man put away the magic weapon, stood up and tidied up his clothes, and then spoke: "Still in this mountain range, the other party also has masters who are good at deduction and preventing deduction, and can only judge the approximate location."

Judging by the distance and the mountain, there are several suspected places, all of which are in the north of the Funiu Mountains, and deviate from the state boundary of Longyao Prefecture, namely Wangfu Mountain, Duqi Mountain, and Qingsleeve Peak. ”

Wu Chengxi frowned and pondered, and then thought about his future plans, he was not ready to let go of those extremely hateful Demon Sect leaders, but Lingping City had experienced calamities, and it was the time to use people, rebuilding the city and pacifying the people, these could not be delayed for a moment.

Wu Chengxi sighed helplessly, and summoned his generals to give an order, "Listen to my orders, leave the logistics battalion to carry the captured finances, and the rest of the soldiers will immediately follow me out of the mountain and return to the city." ”

Elder Zhou didn't have much emotional change, this was given by his age and experience, but calmness did not mean that he was not disappointed and annoyed by the outcome of this mission, on the contrary, he also hated the Demon Sect that dared to summon the Heavenly Demon and the evil Quartet, he hugged Wu Chengxi and asked for his life: "The general also hopes to send a small number of elites to follow me to track down the whereabouts of the remnants of the Demon Sect." ”

Wu Chengxi wanted to refuse, Elder Zhou was a rare talent, and he could even speak in front of the Holy Lord in the imperial court, and he was unwilling to hand over such a dangerous task to an elderly man.

However, Elder Zhou's attitude was resolute, and he was not willing to give in at all, "The old man has a broken body, even if he was proud and arrogant when he was young, he always lost some sense of responsibility, and only now did he realize that he had contributed too little, and he was ashamed of His Majesty's holy grace, and he still had to be a turtle with a shrunken head when he was over seventy, which is really unnecessary." ”

When the old man said this, Wu Chengxi retorted that it was unreasonable, "The elder can go if he wants, why bother to be arrogant, everything you have now, including Your Majesty's holy grace, is your deserved reward, I will assign twenty of the most elite scouts and several outstanding generals to listen to your arrangement, and if you find anything at that time, you can communicate through the Butterfly." ”

In the early morning, there is no warmth in the mountains brought by the sun, and the cold feeling is even more piercing with the spread of blood and the flying of crows.

The dispatch of the army did not achieve the expected results, but the treasures full of the treasury were not taken away by the other party, leaving the last comfort to these desperate sergeants, Elder Zhou had already led less than thirty people to leave, and the army was still rushing in the direction of the city, but the momentum was a little decadent, and the tragedy in Lingping City yesterday is now more or less recognized in everyone's hearts, most of the relatives and friends are suffering in the city, how can they raise their morale.

Now no one collapsed because they were in a hurry to go to the city to confirm the truth, they still had a little bit of luck and hope, some people complained that Wu Chengxi's arrangement was essential, although last night these brave soldiers obeyed the order and chose to temporarily abandon their homes and devote themselves to the bloody bandit operation, but when the blood and glory passed, and their consciousness tended to be sober, they would realize that they were too stupid and should return to the city to protect their families.

Wu Chengxi's face was pale, with a rare paleness, as the commander of the Green Wolf Army, the commander of the 20,000 elite border troops, and one of His Majesty's closest border generals, the ups and downs of the sea, crisscrossing the battlefield, he can still withstand this wind and waves.

He just couldn't face the suffering people in the city, he couldn't give a satisfactory answer to his soldiers, the guilt in his heart was stronger than ever, if there was no solution, it was only a matter of time before he continued to cast demons in his heart, and he would inevitably have to bear most of the condemnation for this felony committed by the Demon Sect.

While Wu Chengxi was thinking about countermeasures irritably, Zhao Kai had already hidden all his secrets, the heavenly demons in the north of the city had completely disappeared, and Qu Huang was busy arranging the reconstruction work and did not come to explore the movements here, which gave Zhao Kai enough time to perfect the lie.

The injuries on his body don't need to be deliberately aggravated, because the pain that should have been suffered when he fought with the Heavenly Demon before has been endured, or lying is a technical job, Zhao Kai can't show the good spirit he has obtained from the perfection of the Ayaluo Realm, and he can't solve his injuries on the spot, bandaging will reduce the concerns of his partners a lot, but there is no cover for his injuries, and calmly his partners are afraid that they will find some clues.

But Zhao Kai still exerted a spiritual investigation that increased several times, searching for the figures of his four companions, enduring the pain on his body, but his heart did not fluctuate much, not only cheering up for his own breakthrough, but also not happy because of the suffering of the people, and finally a pillar of incense time passed, and he finally found two familiar breaths not far apart, it was Peng Jiu and Qin Yanchen.

So Zhao Kai stumbled on the road and headed towards the two partners who were eager to find him.

Qin Wanchen was already sad, since the beginning of the light of the day, when the heavenly demon disappeared, she fell into the mental obstacle of looking for Zhao Kai, so she would be followed by a Peng Jiu who prevented her from collapsing and having an accident.

She couldn't tell what kind of person Zhao Kai was in her heart, her strength was stable over herself, and she usually liked to talk to herself, she was the only man she saw in the military camp who was different from others, he protected himself several times in times of crisis, so that Qin Yanchen himself also silently put Zhao Kai in the softest position in his heart, and the pink color that belonged to love alone had covered it.

So when Zhao Kai appeared in front of Qin Yanchen's eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and then rushed directly into the arms of the scarred Zhao Kai, and then she was crying and sobbing, which made Zhao Kai confused.

Although Zhao Kai couldn't fully understand Qin Wanchen's mood, he was only excited about the reunion of his friends, caressing the woman's smooth back with a small twitch, and he didn't know how to comfort others, but he knew that his play was in vain, because he met two real partners, and the relationship between the three of them did not need lies to maintain.
