Panlong Pass, located on the border of Shengtang, is only separated by a mountain from the wilderness.

This mountain is Panlong Mountain, because its shape resembles a giant dragon circling and lying, hence the name!

Panlong Mountain separates the wilderness from Middle-earth, with the west of the mountain being Middle-earth and the east of the mountain being the wilderness. Whenever night falls, darkness sweeps from the wild east, until it reaches the vicinity of this Panlong Mountain, because this Panlong Mountain is quite high, so this wild darkness is blocked here, and it cannot continue westward into Middle-earth.

The whole Panlong Mountain is extremely steep, the mountain is very steep, and there is only a gap in the place where the Min River flows through, so this has become the only passage for Middle Earth to enter the wilderness.

Therefore, the place is quite important, so the Emperor Shengtang ordered to set up a checkpoint here, called Panlong Pass, to guard the safety of Middle-earth.

After so many years of development, this Panlong Pass has become more than just a military checkpoint, but has gradually developed into a city. The people of the city were mainly soldiers and people who traded with them, and all their families lived with them.

Under the towering city gate, two rows of soldiers stood on the left and right, and there were many guard towers next to them. On each of the high watchtowers stood a soldier, all of them holding bows and crossbows, looking at the direction of the wilderness in the distance, and their faces were very vigilant.

"Everyone cheer up, we are guarding here under the orders of the emperor, and behind us is the safety of the entire Shengtang, so for the sake of our families and Shengtang, we must be vigilant and guard against the invasion of the big demon in the wilderness!" a middle-aged man in armor shouted angrily.

"Yes, General Lian!"

All the soldiers shouted at the same time, and the sound was so powerful that it resounded directly through the sky, and the sound alone could tell that this was a well-trained army.

The general looked to be about forty or fifty years old, very burly and strong, with a somewhat dark skin, and a very striking scar on his face, which looked to be caused by the frequent battles on the battlefield.

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, General Lian nodded with great satisfaction and continued to patrol the surroundings.

"General Lian, there's a situation!" suddenly a soldier on a watchtower shouted.

"Speak!" General Lian suddenly looked vigilant.

"There's a boy in the distance, I don't know if it's a man or a demon, do you want to release the arrow?" the soldier asked.

"Wait!"

General Lian hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a thin figure walking slowly in the distance. It was a young man, dressed in white, with a guqin on his back. The young man's feet were windy, and his speed was extremely fast, and he came to this level in a short time.

"Stop, who's who?" the two soldiers directly slammed their spears across their hands, blocking the young man's way.

Gu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of joy on his face, he had been walking in this mountain forest for more than half a month, and when he finally saw the figure at this moment, he couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly said: "Dare to ask if this is Panlong Pass?"

The two soldiers looked at the boy warily, but finally nodded.

"After walking for so long and finally arriving, I thought I was going in the wrong direction. Gu Qingzhou said happily.

"You came from the wilderness, are you a human or a demon?" one of the soldiers asked directly.

Gu Qingzhou's face was slightly stunned, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Big brother, take a good look, of course I'm human!"

"There is no evidence, whether it is a human or a demon, I have to verify it myself!"

At this moment, suddenly a voice full of qi came, Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but look up, only to see a middle-aged man in battle armor slowly walking towards him, he couldn't help frowning, from this general, he could clearly feel a trace of extremely strong aura oppression.

The young man raised his head, his eyes met General Lian, and in the face of the latter's powerful aura oppression, he puffed up his chest instead, and said with a smile: "How does the general want to verify it?"

"Naturally, it's ......" Before General Lian's words were finished, suddenly a loud horn sound came not far away, and the horn sounded very urgently, and it seemed that something important should have happened.

"The first and second squads will stay and continue to guard this place, and the third and fourth squads will go with me to support the second checkpoint!" General Lian's face changed drastically, and he didn't care about Gu Qingzhou, so he directly led the two teams of men and horses to rush towards the direction of blowing the horn.

Gu Qingzhou's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but ask the soldiers in front of him, "May I ask what happened?"

The soldier seemed much calmer, he should have encountered this kind of thing often, so he was used to it.

"The barbarian demon has invaded, and this month is the fifth time! Are you sure it's not a demon?" the soldier glanced at Gu Qingzhou and said suspiciously.

Gu Qingzhou couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "I'm really not a demon, demons usually have demonic energy on their bodies, I've been standing here for so long, have you ever found that I have demonic energy?"

As soon as these words came out, the soldier said directly: "Then who knows, the wild demons are very tight, what if they have any special methods to hide their demonic energy!"

"......" Gu Qingzhou was directly speechless.

While they were talking, a soldier ran over in a panic, holding a token in his hand and shouting: "The general has an order, except for the first squad, the rest of the people are going to support the second level!"

The soldier who was talking to Gu Qingzhou was obviously pale, and hurriedly arrived: "Second team, hurry up and follow me to the second checkpoint to support General Lian!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry with the men and horses of the second detachment, Gu Qingzhou's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly followed.

Follow the soldiers all the way, and soon come to the second level.

Gu Qingzhou looked around, and saw that most of the defense line here had been broken away, and many monsters from the wilderness were rushing towards here, and once they rushed into the defense line, they would kill in a big way.

On the battlefield in the distance, the Lian general was fighting with a wolf demon king. The strength of the wolf demon king is very strong, and it is estimated that he will have the strength of the Xuanyin Realm, which is on par with General Na Lian.

Gu Qingzhou's heart jumped, and he couldn't help frowning and thinking: "The wolf demon cultivated in the Xuanyin Realm can't be an unknown person, why haven't I heard of it in the wilderness?"

Since General Lian was entangled by the wolf demon, the remaining seven big demons all rushed into the crowd. These soldiers only have the cultivation of Na Ling and Shou Yuan Realm, and the only six generals of the Perception Realm are also entangled by the six big demons, so the remaining big demons directly rushed into the crowd and killed wildly.

How could these ordinary soldiers of the Naling Realm and the Shouyuan Realm be the opponents of the Great Demon of the Perception Realm, so they were directly defeated and retreated, and the situation was very unoptimistic.

Gu Qingzhou looked up, and directly General Lian and the wolf demon king were on par, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while. He turned his head and looked into the battlefield, only to see that the six generals of the Perception Realm were also fighting fiercely with the six big demons, and they had no time to take care of the extra big demons.

Seeing that the big demon was killing at will among the many soldiers, and was about to break through the defense line, Gu Qingzhou frowned, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Although he was also born in the wilderness, after all, he was also a human race, and at this moment, when he saw his fellow human beings being killed like crazy, a kind of resentment suddenly arose in his heart.

Gu Qingzhou glanced around, only to see that there was a sentry tower next to him, his heart moved slightly, his toes lightly, and he jumped directly to the sentry tower.

"Who are you?" the soldier on the watchtower looked vigilant and drew his sword in an instant.

Gu Qingzhou didn't even look at the soldier and sat directly on top of the guard tower, and said coldly: "If you don't want to see the defense line broken, it's best to stand here obediently and protect the Dharma for me!"

The soldier was obviously stunned, only to see that the young man had already taken out the guqin behind his back.

Gu Qingzhou took a deep breath, and after adjusting his state, the spiritual power in his body exploded instantly, his fingers flew above the strings, and suddenly the beautiful sound of the piano filled the world.

"Boom!"

A loud phoenix chirp sounded, and everyone looked up and saw a golden phoenix bird dancing in the air.

The phoenix divine bird circled in the air, and suddenly swooped towards the great demon who was killing in the crowd. The big demon was killing vigorously, and he didn't notice that the phoenix divine bird behind him was galloping forward, and was directly grabbed by the sharp claws of the divine bird and took off into the air.

Although the big demon has the strength to perceive the realm, it belongs to a beast after all, and there is no place to borrow strength in the air.

Gu Qingzhou smiled slightly, I don't care what your perception realm is, since I can't beat you on the ground, let you go to the sky and experience the feeling of flying.
