After leaving the information that he was still alive and well, Xiao Suifeng did not hesitate anymore, and directly set off on the journey to Wangshanyuan.

For Xiao Suifeng at the moment, there are two routes to Wangshanyuan.

One is from Aoki Peak to the east, then bypassing the Wangsoul Abyss, and continuing west to Wangshangahara. Moreover, it is to return the same way that Xiao followed the wind to Aoki Peak, and then arrived at the Cold Moon Sect Aunt City, and then continued to the west, all the way to Nawang Mountain Plain.

The first path is obviously a little farther away because it bypasses the Nawang Soul Abyss, but it is obviously safer, at least before reaching the Nawang Mountain Plain, it shouldn't be too much trouble. And the second option is much closer in terms of distance, but because the battle between the Cold Moon Sect and the Central Plains Righteous Path has not completely stopped at the moment, and the conflict is still continuous, so if you go from this path, you may encounter something.

If it was an ordinary person, maybe he would avoid the Cold Moon Sect, and he would not hesitate to take a detour, but Xiao Suifeng was obviously not such a person, so he only hesitated slightly, and went all the way to the west directly, choosing the second route.

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly two months since the war between the Righteous Path and the Cold Moon Sect, during this period, the Righteous Path and the Cold Moon Sect have been fighting endlessly, and the imperial army has also swept through the Wangshan Plains.

Now, after such a long time, although the previous battle between the Central Plains Righteous Dao factions and the Cold Moon Sect was not as fierce as before, they were still facing each other at that time, and the small-scale battles between each other had never stopped.

In this situation, Xiao followed the wind all the way to the west, and after almost ten days, he finally arrived within the scope of Wangshan Plain.

The area of Wangshan Yuan is vast, from Yunbei County to the west, all the way to the foot of Tianshan Mountain, it is the area of Wangshan Plain.

Compared with the prosperity and prosperity of the Central Plains, Wangshanyuan is much poorer, not only because Wangshanyuan is the border of the Central Plains Dynasty, far away from the ruling center of the Central Plains Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is also because of the bad environment of Wangshanyuan.

If you look down from a distant height, the shape of the mountain is roughly rectangular.

To the west of this rectangle is the Tianshan Mountain Range, one of the abodes of the gods in Middle-earth legend, and to the south, there is the Yunling Ridge that runs through the east and west.

Wangshan Yuan is next to the two highest and largest mountain ranges in the world, and the landform is also extremely complex.

Overall, half of the land in Wangshan Plain is grassland wilderness, as far as the eye can see. It's just that, beyond the grassland, there are also many other landforms in the Wangshan Plain, such as the endless Gobi, the primeval forest that no one has ever set foot in, and the high mountains and deep valleys, which are even more numerous, far from being a wasteland that can be summed up.

However, the distribution of these different terrains also has its own certain rules.

As far as the entire Wangshan Plain is concerned, the north is the Gobi, and the middle is the grassland, and as for the south, next to the Yunling Mountains, this is all kinds of alpine and dense forests.

Xiao followed the wind along the Yunling Mountains all the way to the west, and it took nine days to walk, and finally arrived at the boundary of Wangshan Plain and came to a small city called Gesang.

At this speed, Xiao Suifeng's foot strength is far beyond ordinary people, and when he passed through Nagu City, it only took nine days to ask Leng Yuejiao for a horse, otherwise, the time it took Xiao Suifeng would definitely be even longer.

Right now, he finally arrived at the boundary of Wangshan Plain, looking at Gesang City in front of him, Xiao Suifeng was also a little confused for a while.

Since Xiao Suifeng and Yutaiqian, who is alias Yuwenqian, found the information of the old case in Tiantai Mansion and found the name Shen Lun, Xiao Suifeng made up his mind to go to Wangshanyuan, but after he really came to Wangshanyuan, Xiao Suifeng was a little overwhelmed.

Shen Lun, the only thing Xiao Suifeng knows is that there is only this name.

It's just that this name can't be directly related to the old case of the Xiao family back then, but an indirect connection.

Back then, according to the body of the man in black who was injured by the general saying and finally killed by Xiao Suifeng, Tiantai Mansion tried its best to track it down all the way, but it also found something, knowing that the man in black was from the southwest Wangshan Plain, and it was a subordinate of a bandit leader named Shen Lun, but there was no other news. Even, even the identity of the corpse itself has not been investigated, and the reason why it can be contacted by Shen Lun is based on some other marks on the corpse.

Shen Lunnai was one of the more powerful bandit leaders in Wangshan Plain, with hundreds of horse bandits under his command, who had been roaming between Dakang and Liyi, plundering past merchants and raiding Liyi villages. According to the records of the Dakang military, Shen Lun's gang was ambushed and exterminated by the border army two years before the Xiao family's extermination case, that is, in the 38th year of Dakang, and Shen Lun himself was also captured.

Whether Shen Lun was strangled by the Dakang army is not mentioned for the time being, and the connection between the man in black and Shen Lun is not completely reliable.

Even if the mark on the body of the man in black is correct, it must be known that Shen Lun is the leader of the horse bandits, and there are hundreds of bandits under him, and if these bandits are not killed after Shen Lun is exterminated by the imperial army, it is very likely that they will go to the rivers and lakes, and maybe they will take refuge in the hands of some forces.

Therefore, even if it can be explained that the body of the dead man in black is Shen Lun's subordinates back then, it is not certain at all that the old case of the Xiao family back then must be related to Shen Lun, maybe Shen Lun doesn't know at all.

Of course, the premise of this is that Shen Lun did not die in the encirclement and suppression of the border army back then, so he can know if he knows this statement.

According to the records of the imperial court back then, it was indeed Shen Lun's bandits who had been exterminated by the border army, and even Shen Lun himself died at the hands of the border army, but Xiao walked the rivers and lakes with the wind, but he also knew that among the rivers and lakes, it was not uncommon for the golden cicada to come back from the dead.

It is precisely because of the possibility that Shen Lun may have escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the army by cheating his death, Xiao Suifeng will have the idea of going to Wangshanyuan to investigate in person, otherwise, I am afraid that the clues would have been interrupted according to the general situation of Tiantai Mansion.

It's just that at the moment, even if Shen Lun really didn't die in the encirclement and suppression of the border army back then, it has a little connection with the old case of the Xiao family back then, but, after all, more than ten years have passed, and Xiao Suifeng wants to find the news that in this vast Wangshan Plain, it is already difficult to find a person who has been confirmed to be there, and it is even more difficult to find a living person.

Therefore, although Xiao Suifeng finally came to Wangshan Plain, he didn't have a clue at all, and he didn't know where to start investigating.

At this time, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for Taiqian.

Xiao Suifeng is not a stupid person, although he is taciturn and indifferent, but if he really talks about his mind, he is definitely much smarter than most people.

It's just that Xiao Suifeng is obviously not very good at this kind of case-solving thing. At this time, if Taiqian was by Xiao Suifeng's side, maybe she would be able to solve Xiao Suifeng's doubts and think of a way. Speaking of which, the reason why Xiao Suifeng was able to come to the imperial capital to break into the Tiantai Mansion at the beginning was, in the final analysis, because of Taiqian's thoughts, if it was Xiao Suifeng, maybe he would not have thought that the Tiantai Mansion, which announced that it could not crack the Xiao family's extermination case, would still have useful clues in his hands.

Thinking so in his heart, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but think of Tai Qianlai, in a blink of an eye, he had already left the Aoki Villa for another ten days, and Tan Tai Qian didn't know if he got the news that he was safe and sound, if he knew, at this moment, he didn't know what he would think?

Xiao Suifeng thought silently in his heart, and after a while, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, forced these mixed thoughts down to himself, and looked at the small city in front of him.

The current small city is called Gesang City, and from this name, it is already a border city.

This small city of Gesang is located at the foot of the Yunling Mountains and the edge of the mountain plain, the north and south sides are high mountains, and the east and west sides are also lush forests and deep mountains, this location is just very important.

To the east of Gesang City, that is, the direction that Xiao Suifeng came from, it was exactly the direct strength range of the Cold Moon Sect, and to the west, it entered the location of Wangshan Plain.

This makes the location of Gesang City very important for the Cold Moon Sect, and it can be regarded as a pass. The Central Plains Righteous Dao wants to attack the Dao Gu Yuan City, except for the Wangsoul Yuan that the Righteous Dao factions chose to sneak attack at the beginning, and the location where the Aoki Peak is located, the next is this path.

Compared to the natural moat of Wangsoul Yuan and the risk that Aoki Peak might offend Dao Aoki Mountain Villa, this Gesang City is actually very difficult to pass, but compared to those two, it is already much easier.

After all, although this small city is just in the position of the rush, it is not a real pass after all, whether it is sneaking in or attacking head-on, there is a lot of leeway. It is precisely because of this that after the Central Plains Zhengdao launched an encirclement and suppression of the Cold Moon Sect, he basically chose to make a detour to Wangshanyuan, and then launched an attack on Guyu City from the west from the location of this Gesang City.

The righteous path must be attacked, and the Cold Moon Sect is naturally defended.

Along the way, Xiao Suifeng has also encountered a lot of righteous path spies from the Cold Moon Sect and even sneaked into the Cold Moon Sect's sphere of influence, and he also knows a little about the current situation of the struggle between the two realms.

Right now, the main forces of the Righteous Path and the Cold Moon Sect were facing each other at a location called Chaoyun Ridge hundreds of miles away from Gesang City, while the army of the imperial court was entangled with the army of Fushan City in that grassland.

Having said that, when the righteous path had just launched the encirclement and suppression of the Cold Moon Sect, the seventeen righteous path forces joined forces, and there were dozens of large and small rivers and lakes forces, but the momentum was like a rainbow, and they once attacked this Gesang City, and it was even possible to completely break through that Gesang City.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, as the strength of the Cold Moon Sect was fully exerted, the masters of Gu Yuan City were exhausted, and the elites of the Cold Moon Sect scattered all over the country also gathered, and they not only resisted the attack of the righteous path, but even expelled the righteous path all the way. Later, after the news of the birth of the Martial Saint Tomb came out in the Henglong Mountain Range, it caused a lot of splits among the righteous sects.

First, they didn't achieve enough results to make those sects that had been high-spirited lose the will to fight, and secondly, the news from the Henglong Mountain Range also made their hearts flutter.

So, after a period of fermentation, after being repelled by the main force of the Cold Moon Sect again, the seventeen forces of the Righteous Path, which led the Righteous Path, finally split, and several sects directly withdrew from the conquest of the Cold Moon Sect for various reasons and began to collect troops and turn around.

Of course, in fact, after these forces who proposed to evacuate and turn back, after leaving the battlefield in Wangshan Plain, they basically did not return to their respective sects, but almost immediately turned around and went directly into the Henglong Mountain Range, and their purpose was naturally self-evident.

And the split of these few sects naturally caused a great shock in the entire Righteous Path Alliance, and many small and medium-sized sects were also panicked at the moment, and many of them also took advantage of the situation to put forward a request to withdraw.

This is also the innate weakness of the alliance of the righteous path sects compared to the Cold Moon Sect.

Although the power of the Cold Moon Sect is extremely huge, it is impossible to use one sect against the entire rivers and lakes, even if it is the entire righteous path, in fact, it is impossible. This is not only about the number of top masters, including the ordinary disciples, but also average.

But since the establishment of the Cold Moon Sect, it has been able to compete with the righteous path several times without being defeated, but the more it fights, the stronger it becomes, in the final analysis, it is because although the overall strength of the righteous path sects is extremely strong, but because after all, it is an alliance composed of countless sects, large and small, and the internal people are unstable, and each sect considers the interests of its own sect at most, so that even if it is a blood alliance, it is difficult to truly unite at all.

And if the alliance formed in this way has the upper hand in the battle with the Cold Moon Sect, then the large and small sects may not be good, but once the satisfactory result is not achieved for a long time, or if the losses are too heavy, this alliance will be shaken.

Therefore, with the withdrawal of those core sects from the alliance, the entire alliance was immediately in a shaky state, even without the attack of the Cold Moon Sect, I am afraid it would be difficult to last.

At this time, the Yangxu Palace, Tiantai Mansion and the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, which originally initiated the alliance, finally stood up, wasted a lot of effort, and finally stabilized the situation, but the strength of the entire alliance has been greatly weakened, and it has never achieved much victory over the Cold Moon Sect.
