Chapter 1160: The North and the South
The southern border of the territory, within the city of Feisha.
Lei Luo waited here for a few days, not daring to reveal his location easily, and there was a Jindan monk from the Imperial Spirit Sect patrolling nearby, so that he could not relax his vigilance.
He was also wondering why the monks of the Imperial Spirit Sect had not set off yet, but were waiting for something, could it be that the Imperial Spirit Sect still had a backhand.
The result was really guessed correctly by him, ten days later, there was one more person in the team of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and this person was the big man of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, the sect leader of the Imperial Spirit Sect, Ba Zhennan.
However, Lei Luo heard that this person's name was not Zhennan, but after taking over the position of the sect leader of the Imperial Spirit Sect, he was named Zhennan, so he had the name Ba Zhennan.
Anyway, after being called like this for hundreds of years, the previous name of this Ba sect master was gradually not shouted, and the monks of the same level politely called the Ba sect master, and those who called him by name also called him Ba Zhennan.
With Ba Zhennan entering the team of the Imperial Spirit Sect, this team has three late Yuan Infant monks, namely the sect leader Ba Zhennan, the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect Sha Tongtian, and the Third Elder Sha Tonghai.
As for the second elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect, he stayed in the sect and sat in the mountain gate to deter Xiaoxiao.
On the contrary, there are not many monks in the middle of the Yuan Infant Sect of the Imperial Spirit Sect, only the three of Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Yamu and a monk with a hood covering their faces, and the cultivation aura of the third person fluctuates slightly, so it should have not been long after the breakthrough.
As for the early stage of the Yuan Infant There were about ten monks, of course, Lei Luo automatically filtered out these 'miscellaneous soldiers', and even the three of them in the middle stage did not pose any threat to themselves.
The only things he really needed to pay attention to were the Great Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect and Ba Zhennan, and even the Third Elder was ignored by him.
"Now that the people have arrived, let's go!" the Great Elder commanded.
The men and horses of the Imperial Spirit Sect flew in the direction of due south, and it seemed that they were about to penetrate deep into the area of the barbarians, and the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was located in the boundless desert in the southern part of Nanhongzhou.
Ba Zhennan was mixed in the ranks of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and even wore a hood that was inconspicuous, and no one would have thought that the sect master of the Imperial Spirit Sect would be so low-key.
"Hey, there's the means!"
Just as Lei Luo was about to follow, his steps suddenly stopped, and then his face showed a hint of surprise and a hint of caution.
Within a radius of more than ten zhang in front of him, the air was mixed with countless insects that were barely visible to the naked eye, and the number of these insects was not large, but the distribution blocked the space for progress.
Not only that, but there were also a lot of bugs and small demon beasts in the sand ahead, which were actually the means of the Imperial Spirit Sect to prevent others from following.
"It's a little difficult to do now, the Imperial Spirit Sect is better at controlling insects and beasts than the Heavenly Poison Sect, it's very simple to hide from the eyes of the monks, but it's a little difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of the demon beasts!"
Although Lei Luo wanted to chase after him, there were too many demon beasts that had burrowed into the sand, and the team of the Imperial Spirit Sect was on the move, so it was impossible for him to keep up with it simply by using the Shadow Escape Technique.
If the Shadow Escape Technique is tracked during the day, it is easy to be seen by the ears and eyes of the demon beast, and it is a demon beast controlled by the monks of the Imperial Spirit Sect, so he needs to use more secure means to track it.
Thinking like this, he could only wait in place, waiting for those bugs and demon beasts in front of him to leave, so that he could continue to follow the team of the Imperial Spirit Sect.
However, just as he raised his feet, a few rays of light flew in the distance, and the people who took the lead also had monks from the late Yuan Infant period.
"It's really lively, the number of these people is even more than that of the Imperial Spirit Sect!"
After Lei Luo looked at the light flying in the distance, he hid his tracks again, because this group of people may be the key to whether he can catch up with the Imperial Spirit Sect.
This group of people was led by four monks in the late Yuan Infant period, with a number of nearly two hundred people, including more than ten monks in the early Yuan Infant period, nearly ten monks in the middle period, and the rest were all Jindan monks.
Among the four people who took the lead, the cultivation of two did not pose any threat to Lei Luo, only a big man in yellow and an old man in black robe had a little strength, but they were not very dangerous.
"These two people are the sect masters of the Yellow Sand Sect, and the sect masters of the Black Wind Sect are not successful, I remember that in addition to the sect masters and great elders of the Imperial Spirit Sect in Nanhong Prefecture, the strongest ones should be these two people!" Lei Luo thought in his heart after looking at the two of them.
That's right, these two people are the two Huangsha Sect Masters and the Black Wind Sect Master, and the other two are the other two Sect Masters of the Southern Hongzhou Great Sect.
The strength of the four sects of them joining forces can even be comparable to that of the Imperial Spirit Sect, but it is impossible for the four sects to merge, and today it is only because of some things that they chose to join forces.
"The team of the Imperial Spirit Sect has only been gone for a few hours, and they have been cultivating here all this time before!" said the Yellow Sand Gate Master after closing his eyes and feeling slightly.
He said this with a confident expression, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Lord Wumen's exercises and induction secret methods are well-known throughout the Southern Territory, and it can be said that nothing in the desert can be hidden from your eyes, since you have said so, then they should have just left on the front foot, should we catch up?" asked the other.
"If Sect Master Le is not afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the large forces of the Imperial Spirit Sect, we can catch up first, but we will not rashly pursue the Imperial Spirit Sect, when the time comes, all the men and horses of your sect will fall, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!" The Black Wind Sect Master squinted his eyes slightly and sneered.
As soon as these words came out, the monk's face changed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and did not attack.
"Then according to the meaning of the Black Wind Sect Master, do you intend to catch up?" this person asked unceremoniously.
"They are going to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, we can also take a detour, the Imperial Spirit Sect must have arranged a lot of means along the way, and you don't know the means of detecting the Spirit Flying Ants, wouldn't it be laughed at if they were discovered by rushing to catch up!"
Soul Exploration Flying Ant, a kind of non-advanced social demon beast, it is said that the cultivation of the queen ant is no more than the level of a first-level demon beast, and those larvae or adults do not even have demonic energy.
It is this kind of flying ant whose size is almost invisible to the naked eye, acting as the eyeliner of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and only the Imperial Spirit Sect in the entire Southern Hongzhou can cultivate such insect demon beasts, so they don't know how to restrain this thing.
"Yes, we all know the name of the Spirit Exploration Flying Ant, instead of following them and being discovered, it is better to separate from them, Ba Zhennan and they should also be attracted by that news, as long as we know their purpose, we can take a detour!" said the Huangsha Gate Master.
"With the Wu Sect Master's divine power in hand, when we get to the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, we can just wait, expect that their every move is under our surveillance!"
After the four parties summed up, they all agreed to the plan of the detour, and after confirming that no one was following around, they flew away in the direction of due south and a little east, avoiding the team of the Imperial Spirit Sect.
After Lei Luo watched the men and horses of these four sects leave, he waited in place for an hour.
"There should be no one this time, it seems that this trip to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, in addition to the Imperial Spirit Sect, there are also these four sects in Nanhongzhou involved, there should be no one else!"
After muttering a word, he chased into the distance, since their destination was the Ten Thousand Demon Valley like the Imperial Spirit Sect, then it was much safer for him to chase this group of people than the team chasing the Imperial Spirit Sect.
Because the four sects in front of them knew that only they in Nanhongzhou could snatch food in the hands of the Imperial Spirit Sect, it was impossible for anyone to be able to track them.
Because of this, it gave Lei Luo the possibility of pursuit.
At the same time, deep in the desert.
This is the southern region of Nanhongzhou, a boundless desert area, which belongs to the barren land of the desert in the eyes of outsiders.
In a sand dune area, a figure flew to this place, and these figures all had tattoos on their bodies, one by one tattooed with wolves, tigers and leopards and other monsters.
If the monks of the Southern Territory of the Holy Heavenly Emperor saw it, they would definitely be able to call out their identities, these people were all barbarian monks in the southern part of the Southern Territory.
The group of people stood here as if they were waiting for someone.
After a while, a cloud of fire flew in the sky, and all the figures below looked into the distance without any surprise.
The fire cloud got closer and closer, and finally flew above everyone, turning into a whirlpool, and a red-clothed and red-haired figure descended rapidly from the fire cloud.
When the figure landed, the fire clouds above also flew into the gourd that the person was holding in his hand, and was included in the object.
"Master Plough, you don't need to show off your fire cloud magic power every time you appear, E is tired of seeing it!" In the crowd below, a big man with a leopard head and eyes and a naked upper body said with a disdainful expression.
This person is extremely strong, with bronze skin all over his body, and his lower body is wearing loose animal skin pants, and there is a gold ring tied around his neck, which looks like the dress of a barbarian person.
The red-clothed and red-haired man was an old man with a thin face, but the heat was surging all over his body, and even on a relatively cold night, he could feel a burning sensation of midday when he approached him.
"Why is it night, and there is only you here, Master E, where are the other two?" The old man in red looked at the more than ten people around him, and asked rhetorically after finding that there was no one he was looking for.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, raising a cloud of dust, and when the dust cleared, there was another flowing man in a pale green loose robe.
"Feng has arrived early, but he hasn't seen anyone coming, so he doesn't bother to come over to say hello!" the man said with a disdainful look after he appeared.
This man was very young, and he was quite handsome, and he was dressed like a monk of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, but the outline between his eyebrows was vaguely angular, which was slightly different from that of ordinary monks.
"Is this still our Great Master Feng, why did you go to the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty and learn all the arrogance of those monks!" the old man sneered with his eyelids twitching.
"Hmph, the surnamed Tu had better hurry up, what Feng hates the most is standing in such people!" said the elegant man in annoyance.
None of the three spoke again, and the more than a dozen people in the rear did not dare to interject, and they all waited here.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
After a while, there was the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, and then a huge black figure appeared in the distance.
Soon, however, the shadow vanished, and a figure leapt from a distance, and then fell not far in front of several people.
Fortunately, it is sandy here, and the impact sound is not too loud, but the sand waves raised are still more than ten feet high.
In the scattered gravel, a bald man who was close to a foot tall, with explosive muscles bulging, skin as black as ink, and his upper body was also naked, as strong as an iron tower, in front of the three of them.
This person has a full sense of oppression just standing there, and his skin matches the night so that people can't even see the other party's face clearly, and can only vaguely see some golden ring earrings hanging from the other party's ears, which are all barbarian clothes.
"Master Tu, why are you the slowest every time!" the flowing man complained when he saw someone coming.
"You don't know Lao Tzu's supernatural powers, how can this sissy surnamed Feng be fast in terms of speed!" the black tower giant suddenly spoke, his voice even as loud as a sonic supernatural power.
"Surnamed Tu, you dare to scold me for being a sissy!" the elegant man scolded sharply after hearing this.
After saying that, the two wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by the leopard-headed and ring-eyed man.
"Ladies and gentlemen, so many of us gathered together because we were ordered from above to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to retrieve the holy relics, but we didn't let you come out to fight!" he discouraged.
"Hmph, Feng Mou can still distinguish the importance of this matter, and I don't want some vulgar people to be full of cultivation fists and feet and alchemy!"
The giant man of the Black Tower tried to speak again, but was stopped by the red-haired old man.
"This time, the target of the four of us is the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and the Earth Bear King, if you really have a grudge, you will go and discuss after the operation!" the old man stopped.
The two could only shut up after hearing this, but neither side was convinced.
"Grand Master E, this time I heard that the men and horses in the north are also moving, could it be that they have also heard some news?" the flowing man suddenly reminded.
At the mention of the people in the north, the eyes of the barbarians present all showed a hint of anger, and the people in the north were none other than the monks of the Southern Territory and the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty.
"Impossible, only we know the news of the theft of the holy relics, even the beast soul generals don't know, how can the people and centaurs in the north know!"
"Then, if the other party really has a move, could it be for other treasures in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons or some demon beasts?"
"It should be so, but this time those people in the north are too coincidental, it is better to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons when we are ready to act, and then we are afraid that we will encounter a change with them!" said the leopard-headed and ring-eyed man fearfully.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of, those monks come to kill one Lao Tzu, come to kill two Lao Tzu and kill a pair, is there still someone in that gang who can block Lao Tzu's fist!" said the black tower giant confidently.
After the leopard-headed and ring-eyed man and the others discussed for a while, they didn't say much, if there was a real conflict, their barbarians would not be afraid of each other.
Therefore, as soon as the few people were combined, they set off in the opposite direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, and the direction in which they flew away was the northeast.
