After Niu Erxiao and Xiao Hei went out together, Wan Peng had the urge to go to Soul Devouring Mountain to see by himself. However, considering the results of the tracking, I don't know when I will come back, and secondly, Xie Ting's treatment must have a place to need herself, and leaving at this time may bring some trouble.

So, he didn't go anywhere. At the residence arranged by the tribe, he either cultivated or studied with Liyang about his sister.

And the tracking information will be fed back every day. These people are reluctant to use tools such as the Heart Whisper Array to transmit information over long distances, because in their opinion, it is extremely unsafe to transmit information in a place like Chixiao. Therefore, in the first two or three days, a person came back every day to report to Wan Peng.

Niu Erxiao first took people to Jingmu Mountain. There, through a few traces, they found some very fine lines, but they didn't have the direction to trace them. And Xiao Hei is the basic direction of the determined tracking, leading a wave of people forward.

It's just that when those people left, they also deliberately concealed their whereabouts, and Xiao Hei once returned to a certain point three times in a day, and then determined other directions.

Overall, this tracking is far more difficult than the last two trackings.

Wan Peng had already thought of it. Although waiting for the results among the tribes is a very negative way, as Niu Cang said, in the current situation, this may be his best choice.

By the third day, Xie Ting's treatment of Niu Cang had entered a critical period. Xie Ting proposed a large formation, although the overall framework was clear, but the control of local layout and activation was beyond her personal ability. Wan Peng stepped forward at this time to help Xie Ting complete what was not completed, and Niu Cang became more and more grateful after knowing it.

After the large array was completed and the inertia was running, Xie Ting and Niu Cang began to retreat. And those who went out to track down, because of the long distance, the interval between their return has also become longer. Wan Peng felt a little lonely at this time, and when this loneliness was at its strongest, he still thought of Lingyun Mountain, those old times and his brothers. And after this kind of memory, he will also think about Lingyun City, Baicao Hall, and Princess Yoyou of the Demon Realm.

On the seventh day of Niu Cang's treatment, Niu Cang and Xie Ting broke through at the same time. Niu Cang's complexion was obviously much better, and his body began to slowly exude the aura that a cultivator above the Yuan Infant should have. He himself was obviously in a good mood, and as soon as he came out, he beckoned the two boys and asked for a word to be passed on, and he had successfully completed the first stage of treatment, so that everyone could not worry.

And Xie Ting's complexion looked very weak. Wan Peng checked Xie Ting's body and made sure that she was just exerting too much spiritual power, and after her body was a little unbearable, she felt a lot more relieved.

When Niu Cang saw Wan Peng, the first thing he did was to ask, "Do you have any results from the tracking there?"

Wan Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's been a week since they've been out, but no news has come back in the past two days. Maybe it's because it's too far. ”

Niu Cang said, "Don't worry, young man." I will do my best to choose those people. ”

Wan Peng nodded, "I know, I trust them." I'm now worried about what happened to them during the tracking. Judging from the current situation, those people have used a lot of powerful anti-tracking methods. Such a person, if he finds out that someone is following, will definitely take action. ”

Niu Cang said, "You don't have to worry about it. Those people, even if they encounter any accidents, will definitely ensure that at least one of them will come back to report the news. ”

As soon as Niu Cang said this, he heard someone shouting outside, "Niu Erxiao is back!" However, compared with the orderliness of the tribe before, this time the voice was a little chaotic.

Niu Cang heard that something was wrong in this voice, and immediately left the house, followed by Wan Peng and Xie Ting. Outside, Niu Erxiao was already sitting on a chair, with a little blood on his body, and his face looked a little gray. Seeing Niu Cang and Wan Peng, he immediately got up and said, "Patriarch, Wan Shaoxia." We have already found out the origin of the gang in Jingmushan. ”

Wan Peng's spirits lifted. However, he didn't say anything, but waited for Niu Cang to speak first. After all, this is someone else's territory, and people are also someone else's people.

Niu Cang seemed to be more concerned about Niu Erxiao's injury, and first asked, "Are you injured?"

Niu Erxiao shook his head, "I'm fine." It's just that Niu Bang was seriously injured and is being rescued. I ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xie Ting say, "Where is he, I'll take a look." ”

Niu Erxiao's eyes seemed to show a hint of gratitude, and asked someone next to him to take Xie Ting there. After that, he continued, "We have some difficulty tracking this time. However, in the end, the origin of the gang was found. However, perhaps the eyeliner they planted also noticed us, so they ambushed us. In this battle, Niu Bang was seriously injured, but fortunately he was able to save his life. Moreover, if it weren't for Blackie, we might not have been able to come back. ”

When he said this, Wan Peng's heart couldn't help but tighten, and at the same time, at this time, he really didn't see Xiao Hei's shadow, so he blurted out, "What's wrong with Xiao Hei?"

Niu Er said, "Don't worry, Shaoxia, Xiao Hei just transformed into a divine beast and saved us, and he was not injured and returned with us." However, it has been staying by Niu Bang's side for now, and has not come in with me. ”

"That's good. Wan Peng breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he still cares about Xiao Hei very much in his heart.

Niu Cang said, "Then, what is the origin of that group?"

Niu Erxiao's expression was a little worried, "The subordinates of the Thirteenth Duke of Xiaojinghu." ”

After Niu Cang heard this, his face couldn't help but change. "Thirteen Princes! It would be them. Come to think of it, the Thirteen Princes rose rapidly after the war, but in recent years they have hardly appeared. People thought that they had left Xiaojing Lake, or that they had been destroyed by some force. ”

Niu Erxiao shook his head, "No, they are still there, and they seem to be developing very well." It is true that they are no longer in Xiaojing Lake, but in Xiaojing Mountain on the shore of Xiaojing Lake. We tracked it all the way to this point, and we fell into their ambush. They sent a squad, a well-organized combat squad, to besiege us. Thankfully, we were able to get out of it with Blackie. ”

From Niu Cang and Niu Erxiao's tone, Wan Peng knew that this Thirteen Gong must not be a character to mess with. Only then did he ask, "Patriarch, I don't know what kind of character this Thirteen Dukes is?"

Niu Cangdao, "The Thirteen Princes can be said to be the most high-profile of the eight major figures who appeared publicly after the war. After the war, the order was chaotic and the environment was depressed, and in this context, it was natural that many factions arose to fight for hegemony. In this environment, there are eight sects, or eight leading figures, stand out, and the Thirteen Princes are one of them. ”

"The characteristics of the Thirteen Princes are that they use strange soldiers, and at the same time the people they lead are highly disciplined. In the early post-war period, they swept 5,000 miles and dominated one side. But later, with the rise and contention of other sects, they also slowly gave up some places, with Xiaojing Lake as the center, controlling an area. ”

Wan Peng nodded slowly, "However, it has been hundreds of years since the war. How far does it take for the Thirteen Dukes to live for hundreds of years?"

Niu Cang shook his head, "No, Thirteen Dukes, we are referring to a force, or rather, a representative of this force. The Thirteen Princes were the leaders of this force in the early days, and later, after his death, this force was also to be led by someone else. However, just like a sect, they are still called the Thirteen Princes of Xiaojinghu. And the leader of this force, when he appears in public, is also called the Thirteen Dukes. ”

I see. Wan Peng couldn't help but think of the name of the head of the Lingyun faction at that time, all of which were surnames plus Lingyun. At the same time, Wan Peng also had a new conjecture. It may not be accidental that these thirteen princes can rise rapidly after the war. They not only master the opening method of the Nine Heavens Channel, but also want the handwriting of the four elephants, which must be the original Chixiao senior management. And this kind of high-level management naturally has elite troops, and when the post-war order is in chaos, such a person wants to build a team to fight in the east and west, and itself has advantages that other spontaneously established teams do not have.

Because they are regular soldiers. Whether it is ideologically or in the management of discipline. The difference between the regular army and the motley sects is that if you give them a country, they can make the country prosper, while if you give a country to the ragtag army, the country will only get more and more chaotic.

Niu Erxiao said at this time, "But patriarch, there is something I think you need to decide. After the people of the Thirteen Dukes discovered us, they failed to besiege us and did not give up the pursuit of us. So, in fact, on the way back, we experienced more than ten battles. Although they didn't catch us up later, we had a feeling that they would follow the trail and come to the door. ”

Niu Cang's face changed, "You didn't eliminate the traces?"

Niu Er said, "We are sure that it has been eliminated, and we will do our best to eliminate it." Still, by all indications, they can still spot us. Moreover, their tracking may point directly to our location. It always felt like they were going to die, as if we had discovered some secret about them. ”

Niu Cang said, "If that's the case, it may be troublesome." A sad look gradually rose in his eyes, "The Thirteenth Duke has always been a character who can't be provoked. If he is coming, then we will mobilize the tribe to change places. Although we have been living in this place for many years, this is the safest option. However, even if we have to change places, we must be ready to fight. ”

Wan Peng felt a little guilty at this time, but it quickly disappeared again. He took a step forward and asked Niu Erxiao, "When their team was besieging you, was their cultivation actually not very high, or even said that the basic cultivation level was equivalent to or slightly lower than yours, but they had perfect tactical coordination, making you very passive?"
