A mountain forest near the Five Poison Forest, surrounded by tall trees that have grown for years, and a small piece of land in the middle has been artificially reclaimed for a clearing, and the wooden stakes left on the ground still emit the fragrance of wood.

At the edge of the clearing, two listless monks were chatting with each other.

"Brother Bloody Hand, you said that we were assigned to this wilderness, with no relics and treasures, and no spirit stone veins, what are we for? It's been more than ten days, and no one has paid attention to me, when will this kind of day be considered a head!"

"Brother Ironhead, you have always been well-informed, why don't you even know the reason, I can't figure it out! Don't mention these bad things, drink and drink!"

Before the words fell, several black shadows rushed out of the woods on one side, raising their hands for several sword lights, the two of them were caught off guard before, and they didn't even have a chance to warn, and they fell to the ground directly.

This scene continued to play out in the woods, and several bright posts and secret posts arranged by the demon cultivators were all uprooted one by one, and a beam of fire suddenly rose outside the forest, and hundreds of monks appeared one after another, attacking the camp tent stationed in the middle of the clearing in the forest from different angles. The demon cultivators hurriedly faced the battle, and as soon as the battle began, more than half of the demon cultivators lost their lives, and only dozens of people were left struggling in a battle circle.

Yi Xuan quickly walked in front of the besieged demon cultivators, and asked in a cold voice: "I have nothing to do with you and other demon cultivators, why did you gather in the Five Poison Forest, could it be that you can't try to plot against my Ten Thousand Tribulation Ridge station?"

A tall and blood-stained demon cultivator laughed miserably: "You hypocrites always like to win more than less, and you have the ability to fight alone with your grandfather, why bother where Rory is so irritable!"

Song Kaifeng on the side replied without showing weakness: "Obviously, you want to besiege the Ten Thousand Tribulation Ridge garrison with thousands of people, but now we say that we win more and less, so it's not a joke!"

Yi Xuan was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, which would attract follow-up support from the demon cultivator, so he stopped talking and asked sharply: "Let me ask again, if anyone tells me the true intention of your gathering here, I will let him go, and I will never break my word!

"Three...... 2. ......"

Without waiting for Yi Xuan to count to the end, a demon cultivator cried loudly: "This official, I don't know why the boss sent us here, when I came, I only said that we would stay here for a hundred days, and after the time passed, we could return to our respective stations on our own, and I don't know anything else!"

The tall demon cultivator slapped it with his backhand and scolded loudly: "Soft bones, crying something, don't talk nonsense if you don't know! We are here to wait for the gathering of people to take down your Ten Thousand Tribulation Ridge in one fell swoop, attack the city and pull out the village, and finally fight all the way to Zenan City, haha......" For a while, most of the demon cultivators let out a strange laugh like a ghost crying wolf.

"Stubborn!" Yi Xuan pressed his hand down, and the spells and flying swords of the hundreds of monks behind him arrived together, and the demon cultivators who were besieged in the middle were killed immediately, and they didn't even have time to prepare to blow themselves up.

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, immediately return to the Ten Thousand Tribulation Ridge station with me!" Yi Xuan threw out his flying sword and rushed directly into the sky. Because he was worried about the revenge of the demon cultivator, Yi Xuan had agreed with Ji Deshou that he would immediately retreat to the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Ridge station and rejoin after he succeeded.

Not long after, Ji Deshou also led the team to catch up with Yi Xuan's footsteps, two hundred monks gathered in one place, and the light of the retreat drew a meteor-like brilliance in the night sky, but the demon cultivators who were originally worried did not react, and let Yi Xuan and the others return to the station safely.

Without waiting for the dawn, Yi Xuan summoned Ba Hesong and Ouyang Fu to discuss the next step.

"Two elder brothers, tonight I led the crowd to kill more than eighty demon cultivators, and only a few people were slightly injured under my command, which can be regarded as a victory. But my heart is more and more worried, and there is an unspeakable treachery everywhere. This is true of the runes that were accidentally discovered before, and the same is true of the demon cultivators who attacked and killed tonight, as if they were deliberately sent to death. Yi Xuan's face was solemn, without a hint of joy of victory.

"Speaking of the rune, none of the monks in the station know about it, and I have already sent the rune back to Zenan City to inform a few captains, and I think there will be an answer soon. Ouyang Fu also seemed preoccupied.

Ba Hesong hurriedly comforted the two: "Two brothers, don't mind! as long as we wait to ensure that the station is not lost, wouldn't it be better for the demon cultivator to send it to the door by himself, let Yi Xuan save enough military merit as soon as possible, so as to advance our plan!"

Yi Xuan nodded and said: "What Brother Ba said is! Don't care about it for a while, the demon cultivator has suffered a big loss today, if the two strongholds are replenished tomorrow, then it can basically be inferred that the rune theory is valid, and we need to be more careful to take precautions, and at the same time, we will report the discovery of our others to the captains, and ask them to decide!"

The three of them discussed to no avail, so they could only wait for the news from the demon cultivator side on the second day, until noon, when the information brought back by the scout who went to inquire surprised the three of them.

"Qi Qi three captains, the two demon cultivation strongholds that were attacked last night are still empty, and there are no reinforcements stationed, not only that, but the subordinates also found something that is contrary to common sense: in the past, the demon cultivators were defeated, and the corpses of the dead monks were generally collected and buried, but this time they were all violent corpses in the wilderness, and what was even more bizarre was that all the corpses were neatly stacked in one place, stacked high, I don't know what the purpose was. ”

This abnormal behavior of the demon cultivator made the three of them fall into deep thought, and they all felt puzzled, although they did not know the true intention of the demon cultivator's layout, but such a stirring of teachers must have a profound meaning, only to wait and see the changes. Yi Xuan, who was originally going to continue to go out to harass the demon cultivator, also temporarily stopped his ground, and sent a large number of scouts every day to probe the movements of the demon cultivator, but he found nothing for several days.

Finally, a message came from Zenan City, and someone had been sent to assist Yi Xuan and the others, but they didn't say a word about the identity of the person who came, so that the three of them wanted to wear it, until the person who came appeared on the periphery of the station wearing a thick cloak.

"Silence, quickly leave me until you wait for the camp, don't make a noise!" A familiar voice came from the cloak, and the three of them were surprised that the person who came was none other than Bei Wenxing, one of the four captains of Zenan City. The three of them did not dare to slack off, dispersed the surrounding guards, and invited them into the camp of Ba Hesong.

Bei Wenxing took off his thick hood and let out a long breath: "But it suffocates me." Tell me, how did you find this rune?"

Ba Hesong arched his hand and said: "This was discovered by Wen Duwei's subordinates, or it is better for Wen Duwei to tell it himself." After speaking, he gently pushed Yi Xuan.

Yi Xuan nodded, and said respectfully: "Captain ......" told the speculation that he and his subordinates talked about the distribution of demon cultivation strongholds and inadvertently discovered, and at the same time briefly told him about the sneak attack on demon cultivation at night.

"What, you have actually taken action without authorization and killed the demon cultivators in two strongholds? Which are the two places, quickly point them out to me!" Unexpectedly, Bei Wenxing's face changed greatly, and he accused Yi Xuan in a fierce tone.
