Since the battle of Xiaoxiangshan, the monks of the Demon Gate have been silent as if they were also recuperating, and there is no news of the attack, and the Hidden Fog Mountain station has not been replenished with manpower for a long time, and there is no strength to attack the Demon Gate, so the two sides have entered a short truce period.

More than a month has passed since the military exercise, and the hotly discussed battle formation competition at that time has also calmed down, and the various military affairs of the station have returned to normal, the only change is that the subordinates of the uncles and even the chiefs have become competitive and competitive, and they will meet for a battle if they have a slight quarrel, and they will also privately make a "top ten battle formation" outside the military's "top 100 list of killing enemies", in addition to the rankings obtained in the exercise, they will also accumulate according to the results of the private battle. Fortunately, there were no casualties, so the top management of the station turned a blind eye and a deaf ear.

Yi Xuan's team showed good strength in the martial arts, and with the help of restraining his subordinates, there was no situation where someone came to call for the battle, and the seven of them were happy to be idle. Yi Xuan distributed all the spirit stone pills equally, urging everyone to meditate and practice qi as long as they had leisure, and after a month, Yi Xuan himself advanced from the sixth layer of the foundation to the seventh layer, and finally entered the late stage of foundation building, and his subordinates Song Kaifeng and Di Tianyu also broke through the original cultivation, and others also improved.

Although the Demon Gate did not attack, Tai Puhe was not satisfied with the status quo of the stalemate between the two sides, and constantly sent a small group of people to investigate the movements of the Demon Gate, wanting to find out the intentions of the Demon Gate monks behind their backs, and many teams in the station were sent to lurk along the Xiaoxiang Mountain to monitor. For a month, the surveillance task that Yi Xuan's team had not been assigned was finally their turn.

Yi Xuan returned from Deng Chengfeng's camp and immediately summoned everyone to explain the task: "Everyone has been repairing for a month, and their cultivation has improved. At present, the station is sending a mission to explore the stronghold of the Demon Gate, this stronghold is located in the northwest of Xiaoxiang Mountain, we need to wait for a detailed investigation of the number of demonic cultivators and personnel transfer of this stronghold, and ask to return within ten days, the time is urgent, give everyone a quarter of an hour to pack up their belongings, and then set off immediately!"

A quarter of an hour later, Yi Xuan had just led everyone out of the Hidden Fog Mountain station, and a sword light also flew into the sky from the station, and came to a cliff at the junction of the immortals and demons.

A gray mist appeared in the void, and a monk wearing a hat and a gray robe appeared, and said in a hoarse voice: "If there is anything to say, I should not stay here for a long time, in case someone finds out, you and I can't afford to be guilty!"

The figure from before threw out a jade talisman and said: "Inside the jade talisman is a monk who Shangfeng asked to chase and kill, and he will lead a team to appear on the patrol line indicated in the jade talisman in the next few days, and inform your master to go to intercept and kill, be sure to leave him here! This person has a lot of means, he must arrange a good hand, and your master is no stranger to him, last time he stopped your master, so he didn't wipe out the surrounding monks!"

When the gray-robed monk heard this, he became interested, and probed his divine sense through the jade rune, and frowned: "This person looks young, he has such a cultivation, and he actually has the strength to fight with the Jindan monk, presumably the Lord must have forgotten it all the time, maybe he will be interested in going there in person." ”

The two of them were separated by a few zhang distance, and they conspired again for a long time, before they turned into two rays of light and went away......

In Yi Xuan's hand is a standard map that is only used by resident monks when they go out on missions, engraved in a jade talisman, which can only be opened with Yi Xuan's spiritual sense imprint, if it is forcibly opened by others, it will immediately shatter and fail. Carefully comparing the terrain in front of him, Yi Xuan found that he had come to a place called Jinjingling, which was less than half a day's journey away from the destination of this trip.

"Kaifeng, quickly explore the radius of several miles to see if there is a demon cultivator stationed, if you find it, report it immediately, and don't make any claims!" As soon as he settled down, Yi Xuan sent scouts to survey the terrain, and at the same time handed over the hidden formation received by the military quartermaster to Liang Tian, let him quickly arrange the formation, and finally quietly released the two incarnations of the earth system and the wood system that were extremely suitable for hiding in the mountains and forests while everyone was unprepared, and let them serve as the first warning within a hundred zhang around the camp.

After a while, Song Kaifeng, who was neat with his hands and feet, returned to report: "There are no signs of demon cultivation around, and there are no traces of high-level demon beasts, as long as you are careful to hide the traces, you will not be discovered or disturbed, you can rest assured that you can be stationed and repaired." ”

Liang Tian on the side, with the assistance of Gong Liang and others, soon set up the concealment formation, the place where several people were stationed was a mountain col, after the formation was activated, a mist rose out of thin air, and the entire mountain col fog locked the cloud cage to hide the whereabouts of several people, but it was still clear from the inside of the formation.

The seven of them were all foundation building monks, so they didn't have to eat every day, and after assigning the order of rotation, everyone returned to their makeshift tents to recover their spiritual power. Yi Xuan had been faintly feeling a little frightened in his heart since he came out of the station, and it was inconvenient to talk to others, so he could only patrol around the col through the two avatars, in order to find any unfavorable situation in advance, but he never found anything.

On the second day, as soon as there was a glimmer of light, Yi Xuan called everyone up, cleared all traces of the temporary camp, and then stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the destination.

Still sent scout Song Kaifeng to reconnoitre, and after a while, he brought back the message: "Report to the chief, this stronghold is an ordinary stronghold of the Demon Gate, there are roughly less than a hundred demon cultivators, there are three open sentinels and two secret sentinels outside the stronghold, and there is nothing abnormal in the stronghold, I really don't know why I was sent to investigate!" Song Kaifeng told Yi Xuan of the collected information while expressing the doubts in his heart.

When Yi Xuan heard this, he suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and his heart was beating again, his face changed drastically, and he secretly felt bad, and Liang Tian on the side saw his abnormality, and immediately asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Yi Xuan shook his head and drove the throbbing in his heart out of his mind, and made a reluctant smile: "There's nothing wrong, it's just that the news sent back by Kaifeng is indeed a little strange, I was fascinated by it for a while, and I didn't react......" Before the words fell, a feeling of being watched by someone hit my heart again.

Yi Xuan didn't dare to perceive the other party with his spiritual sense at all, stepped forward and grabbed Liang Tian's shoulder, wrote in his hand, and wrote in the palm of the other party's palm: "This trip is very strange, there is more than one luck, we have been watched here, we will pretend to be looking for an opportunity to camp and withdraw as much as possible, once we leave the monitoring range, immediately evacuate at full speed." Don't tell anyone else yet, so as not to startle the snake!"
