81: Strange breath
As dusk approached, the desert in front of Zhan Feng was golden, and countless wrinkles of sand and stones were like solidified waves, extending to the golden horizon in the distance.
Suddenly, in the distance, a long yellow sand suddenly appeared like a light curtain into Zhanfeng's eyes, and in the distance is the rolling hills, which are also made of the same color of yellow sand, here is the world of yellow sand, the ocean of yellow sand, and the dazzling light curtain seems to be like a star in the sky, which is more dazzling in the long yellow.
When the light curtain in his eyes gradually became clear, the outline of the city in the light curtain gradually became clear, and it was only at this time that Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and the two of them glanced behind them in unison, and then glanced at each other tacitly, looking at each other and smiling.
Seeing that the danger was lifted, Hua Yuxi did not continue to monitor the strange aura behind her, but got up and walked to Zhanfeng's side, standing side by side with Zhanfeng, under the sunset, the wind beast was speeding at high speed, cutting through the sky and there was a sound of breaking the sky, and Zhanfeng and Hua Yuxi on its shoulders were like a pair of immortal cultivators against the backdrop of the sunset, adding a bit of warmth to the solemn desert.
"It's finally here. ”
Standing outside Whitewater City, Zhan Feng smiled, looked at the golden defense array of Whitewater City, and secretly exhaled, the heart hanging along the way could finally be put down, and a trace of joy appeared in his sharp eyes.
"Senior brother, look at those people—"
Just when Zhan Feng was secretly happy, Hua Yuxi suddenly walked to Zhan Feng's side, pointed to a few strangely dressed people at the entrance of Baishui City, with a look of surprise or incredulity on her pretty face, she fell into Zhan Feng's ear and muttered in a low voice.
"These people—"
Looking along Hua Yuxi's fingers, he saw seven or eight strangely dressed monks wearing hats going through the formalities of entering the city, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and his sword eyebrows wrinkled, although he was not as sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations as Hua Yuxi, but after seeing a few people at the entrance, he could still clearly feel that a few people exuded an aura that did not belong to Taoist monks.
It can be said that even if a Taoist monk cultivates his own spiritual power, he will only appear feminine, and that kind of rigid and soft breath will not produce essential changes, but the breath on the few people at the entrance obviously has a cold aura, as if it is like the Nine Yin Fire, which gives people a gloomy and terrifying feeling at first glance.
"How is it possible that there are Demon Dao monks entering and leaving Whitewater City?"
Hua Yuxi was shocked in her heart, with an incredible look on her pretty face.
From the breath on several people, it can be affirmed that they are demonic monks, in Hua Yuxi's mind, there may definitely be demonic monks in Cangnan, and even if there are, they dare not enter and exit the sphere of influence of Taoists or Confucianists openly, but the situation in front of her subverted her imagination.
Not only was the demon cultivator able to enter and leave Whitewater City openly, but he was also not strangled or rejected by the righteous monks of Whitewater City, this strange situation was really incomprehensible to her.
"It seems that the information on the jade slip is true, Baishui City has become a gathering place for Dao and Demon monks, it seems that the situation is even more complicated than we thought-"
Zhan Feng was also very puzzled in his heart, but his mind was not on the Demon Dao monk, but began to worry about the next trial task, and his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and his mood was even more complicated.
There are two kinds of tasks of the Kaiyang Sect, one is the task of the sect is the task of testing within the influence of the Kaiyang Sect, such as, hunting the demon beasts in the Cangyue Mountain Range, helping the sect to refine pills, low-level magic weapons, etc., are all some extremely low-risk things, of course, the reward and merit points are also relatively low.
The other is the trial mission that Zhan Feng chooses, such as helping the Kaiyang Sect's dependent forces maintain their status, exploring the secret realm, and finding high-level elixirs.
This kind of trial consumes a relatively long time, is more difficult, and is more dangerous, and must have a mission process certificate, relatively speaking, generally only disciples in the foundation building period will choose.
In other words, Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi's task itself is already beyond their ability, and the danger and difficulty naturally increase exponentially.
It can be said that investigating Shen Tong's disappearance is a matter of life and death, because this matter itself is already mixed with too many uncertain factors, and no matter which of these factors are fatal to Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi.
"So what do we do now-"
Hua Yuxi also seemed to have thought of the task, her delicate body trembled suddenly, there was a trace of horror in her big eyes, and she looked at Zhan Feng sluggishly to ask, and suddenly, her delicate and clear eyes instantly seemed a little ghostless, and her heart was also confused.
"Let's find the rudder first, and then let's see what task the rudder has assigned to us. ”
Zhan Feng secretly exhaled, glanced at Baishui City with a solemn face, and was also very bitter in his heart, a little weak, and shrugged helplessly, he could only resign himself to fate.
"Okay—"
Hua Yuxi sighed helplessly, took a deep breath, and nodded with a wry smile.
She knew in her heart that what should come would always come, even if she didn't want to, she couldn't escape, even if it was dangerous, she and Zhan Feng could only face it hard, this was a shackle of fate that they couldn't get rid of.
Like Lishui City, entering Baishui City also requires two spirit stones, but Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi are disciples of Kaiyang Sect, as long as they take out their waist cards as a basis, they can enter and exit freely, and they do not need to pay spirit stones.
So entering the city was not a difficult thing for Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi, and after a quarter of an hour, the two finally entered Baishui City.
With the experience of Chaoyang Town, Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi were not surprised when they saw the quiet environment in White Water City, and after stopping at the entrance for a while, they moved towards the rudder station of White Water City of Kaiyang Sect.
Perhaps it is the reason why Baishui City is the residence of Liu Bai, Baishui City as a whole is like an enlarged chess board, a thoroughfare that runs through the east and west divides the whole city into two, the north is the territory of the Liu family, and the south is naturally the territory of the Bai family, the Chu River and the Han border.
And because the worry-free stream is located in the south of Baishui City, the rudder of the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom is distributed on the territory of the Bai family, and it is precisely for this reason that the Bai family has always pressed the Liu family in Baishui City.
Maybe it was the reason for the first time he came, Zhan Feng had a strange feeling all the way, the whole Whitewater City seemed very chaotic, the number of monks was beyond his expectations, almost every street was overcrowded, so crowded that it was almost impossible to walk normally.
But in this kind of ensuing situation, there is no such bustle and bustle of the vast sea of people, but it seems very quiet, and everyone's expressions are extremely cold, and that tense appearance makes Zhan Feng very incomprehensible.
The atmosphere on the street was too weird, and Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi quickened their pace while carefully avoiding the collision, just wanting to find the rudder of Kaiyang Sect as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the entrance of the rudder of Kaiyang Sect is not very far, after a stick of incense, there is a sudden break in the crowd, and there is an open space in the middle of the street, on the opposite side of the open space is a majestic nine-story attic, and there is a three-zhang plaque hanging outside the second layer of the attic, on the plaque, 'Kaiyang Sect Baishui City Rudder' several big characters dragon flying phoenix dance majestic atmosphere, golden light is clearly visible.
"It's finally here. ”
When he saw the magnificent plaque, Zhan Feng couldn't help but glance at Hua Yuxi, secretly relieved, and the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a comfortable smile.
