Chapter 173: Dayin Mountain
Wan Peng decided to go in the direction of Dayin Mountain first, and Hou Ruoting was in the opposite direction to it, but the disadvantages she faced were much smaller. Most of the people she led were the disciples of Lingyun Mountain, and among these disciples, the highest level was only condensing veins, and even if they had bad intentions, their abilities were still limited.
What's more, just a survivor of the Lingyun Sect, pulling up a wave of people, just to rebuild the main sect, the demon army is menacing, and since Dayin Mountain is the place where they want to cause the plague, it is obviously more important there.
Back at their makeshift camp, Wan Peng looked at everyone with some embarrassment, "Maybe we can't stay here anymore." There is a demon army that will move in the direction of Dayin Mountain, and there, there are 20,000 troops from our Northeast Repair Area Supervision Bureau. We need to rush to the army of the Overseer before the demon army arrives, and tell them that there may be extremely powerful traitors inside. ”
After hearing this, the expression on Cheng Mo's face suddenly became stern, "That...... Captain, we're going to fight again?"
Wan Peng shook his head, "No, it's not you. You are still too small in this world of cultivators, if you really fight,......"
"Captain, we're not afraid!" Cheng Mo looked excited, stepped forward, and clenched his fists.
"I know you're not afraid. Wan Peng smiled again and patted Cheng Mo's brother, "The reason why I decided to bring you here is because I know that you are not afraid. But now is not the time for you to fight. I don't want you to stay here alone because there are too many variables here, and there are many situations that you can't understand or solve when I'm away. So I have to take you away. I want you to see how the cultivators fight, and at the same time, I hope that you can slowly become stronger in Xuanxiao. ”
Wan Peng's eyes were filled with undoubted perseverance, as if Cheng Mo had been positioned as a master in the future. Cheng Mo and the others were so moved that they almost cried, and immediately packed their luggage and prepared to travel in a group.
Dayin Mountain, about 800 miles away from the station of the Northeast Repair Area Supervision Bureau, with the speed of Wan Peng and others walking, it is impossible to reach it in one day. However, with the Fire Thunderbird, the whole thing is much simpler. Although flying with a fire thunderbird was a risky move, Wan Peng had no other choice. According to Liyang's inference, on the route from the Supervision Bureau to Dayin Mountain, because a large number of troops retreated in front and there may be chasing troops in the rear, it is unlikely that the enemy in the opposite direction will be encountered in the same direction, and the possibility of flying at low altitude is not high.
Wan Peng also made a decision immediately, and he took the Fire Thunderbird King to explore in front, and Hou Ruoting took Cheng Mo and others to follow him, almost all of them were flying close to the ground. Once he found that there was any abnormality, Wan Peng would send it back quickly, and Cheng Mo and the others would stay in place.
Fortunately, one day after flying down, in addition to the sporadic and some beasts, basically there was no single figure. They also walked the most conspicuous avenue, on both sides of the road, there are many places obvious traces of battle, there were originally some settlements, now they are in a mess, and the people who live there have long been no shadows.
Towards evening, Dayin Mountain is in sight. Wan Peng and the others got down from the Fire Thunderbird and advanced in battle formation. This place will obviously enter the sentry range of the Repair District Supervision Bureau, and if you rush through the air like that, it will not be fun to let people take it down with a trick if it is regarded as a sneak attacker.
A few people did not dodge, and walked along a road, straight in that direction. In the process, Wan Peng felt that a secret post had discovered them, but there was no offensive action. He expected that the Overseer's army was currently heavily defensive and light attacking, so he would not directly attack without confirming that there was an absolute threat to the comer.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Dayin Mountain is directly blocked in front of it like a screen in the dark night. Further on, a path leads into the valley, which is dark and unpredictable. According to the results given by Liyang, there has been no demon here yet.
But Wan Peng knew that there must be people here, including the side of the road into the mountain, and there must be an army sentry in ambush. He stretched out his right hand, flipped his palm, and a jade plaque appeared in his palm.
Before going to the sky, get the Elite Medal of the Repair District!
"The elite of the repair area Wanpeng came to Dayin Mountain, please tell me!"
His voice was driven by spiritual power, pushing towards the valley layer by layer, and it seemed to be extremely weak when it reached the ear, but it could stretch for miles. At the same time, his spiritual power entered the Elite Medal of the Cultivation District, and the medal quickly emitted light, casting a shadow into the sky in the valley.
After a while, a streamer shot from a distance, Wan Peng beckoned, and a voice entered his ears. "Since it is ten thousand friends, we will meet in the valley quickly. ”
This voice, he is very familiar with, it is Zhang Yao!
Wan Peng felt a little happy in his heart, but he couldn't say why he felt this way. Could it be that it is because Zhang Yao is not dead?
Since permission has been obtained, Wan Peng took everyone and went directly into the valley along the road. He used the fire refining technique to create two fireballs to illuminate, which looked like ghostly fire flickering from a distance, and it looked very strange.
After walking for more than ten miles, Wan Peng suddenly felt that the things in front of him had changed.
Whether there is a phantom array outside or a phantom array here, it can produce the same effect. However, Wan Peng concluded that what he saw now was the reality of this valley.
The piles of bonfires are arranged very neatly, forming one after another Tian characters. At the edge of each fire, there are several tents, which are also arranged in an extremely neat manner. There were several well-organized groups of soldiers, patrolling in unison.
At a glance, the statement that there are about 20,000 troops is indeed true, and it is only a lot more than 20,000.
Wan Peng felt a spiritual power coming straight towards him, but there was no intention of attacking. Following the guidance of this spiritual power, he naturally walked to a tent at the back of the entire camp. This tent is about twice as big as the others, but the outside is covered with a thickened black cloth fan, so if you don't get closer, it's actually inconspicuous.
There were two teams of soldiers guarding the door of the tent, and the leaders of the two teams were both at the level of Condensation. When they saw Wan Peng, the people did not stop him and motioned for him to go in.
Wan Peng asked Cheng Mo and the others to stay outside, and walked in with Xie Ting himself. As soon as you enter the tent, there is a large table with all the chairs arranged in a circle, around which people are seated, and behind the table, at the other end of the tent, is a large map with signs of various colors red, red, green, and green.
Wan Peng glanced at it, and among the more than 20 people sitting around, he knew only six or seven, including the director and deputy director of the Supervision Bureau of the Repair District, the secretary Zhang Yao, the head of Dali Hall, and two or three people who had only met and never spoken before. However, a trace of loss quickly flashed on Xie Ting's face. Because Xie Fei is not here.
These people didn't seem surprised by his arrival, he came in his, and people discussed it. Only Zhang Yao got up from a relatively close position, walked straight to the door of the tent, looked at Wan Peng, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder hard, and nodded at Xie Ting.
Wan Peng didn't say much, smiled a little and stopped, and sat down in a place next to the tent but not on the edge of the table according to the position pointed by Zhang Yao. After about a pillar of incense, the discussion of those people was completed, and the director of the District Supervision Bureau turned his eyes to Wan Peng, "Wan Peng, after you have to repair the District Elite Medal, you haven't seen anyone for several months, and now you are finally back." ”
Wan Peng got up and glanced at Zhang Yao, "Previously, the disciple was besieged by the Rank Immortal Sect and the head of the Five Elements Sect, accidentally entered a strange place, and escaped through difficulties, so he was unable to contact the Supervision Bureau for several months. Zhang Yao can testify about this. He didn't want to talk about Jiuxiao, and he didn't want to mention those things about Jiangxiao, so he wanted to get through the trick like this.
The superintendent nodded, "I know about this as well." After you disappeared, we mobilized a lot of manpower to search for them and tortured those two cultivators and scum, but we found nothing. Unexpectedly, you auspicious people finally came back safely. However......" his face did not have a look of joy, "The enchantment of demon cultivation has been opened, and now the Floating Cloud Continent is full of war, and a few days ago, the demon army pointed directly at the base camp of the Supervision Bureau of the Cultivation District. In order to avoid its edge, we have retreated here with our elites, and are now discussing a counterattack. Originally, in your capacity, you could not have attended this meeting. However, now that there is a shortage of manpower, and with Zhang Yao's recommendation, we are ready for you to lead a detachment. ”
Wan Peng was stunned. He thought that the director would ask a few words about his whereabouts, but he didn't expect that he would ask himself to lead the troops when he came up. This also fully shows how grim the shape is now, and how short of manpower to lead troops is.
"If the director is reused, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself. Wan Peng did not shirk, because in this environment, he had to show a posture of obedience to the leader. Only then will it be possible for him to approach them and accuse the traitor of the traitor to a reliable person at the right time. "I don't know how many people the director assigned to me, what is the specific task?"
The director's face was stern, "The matter of using soldiers is only known to the people concerned, and I will send the relevant jade slips to you." This concludes today's meeting, and everyone prepares separately. ”
After speaking, everyone in the seat got up, but Wan Peng stayed where he was. The director looked at him, didn't say anything, and turned to leave. Only Zhang Yao walked up to him, "It's good for you to come back." Xie Ting is fine. Alas. He let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this." ”
Wan Peng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Although I'm not here, I want to know something." Could it be that since the invasion of the demon army, the army in our cultivation area has been defeated in battle, and none of them have won?
Zhang Yao sighed again, "That's right. I really can't imagine that over the years, the demon army has been trained to such a level. ”
Wan Peng shook his head, "No, it's not the demon army training. Rather, among the high-ranking among us, there are spies. ”
Zhang Yao's face changed greatly, he lowered his voice, and looked at the people around him cautiously, "Don't talk nonsense! How did you know?"
