Speed ​​Pass starts with choosing a hunter

Chapter 171 Undercurrent
Xuanyang, the northern land.

A city wall that is a hundred meters high stretches from east to west, separating the north and the south.

There is a lookout tower every hundred meters, and countless Zhenbei Army soldiers are guarding the city walls, keeping thousands of Demon Sect warriors outside the city walls.

This magnificent city wall was built by Emperor Xuanyang at the expense of tens of thousands of laborers.

On the Great Wall, an old general with a weather-beaten face stood on the wall. His white eyebrows covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Reporting to the General, the Demon Sect is making another move."

A soldier in silver-red armor knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully to the old man.

This is the north side.

There is only one army to the north of Xuanyang, and that is the Zhenbei Army.

There is only one person in the Zhenbei Army who can be called the general, and that is the old man in front of him, the Zhenbei General, Xu Dingchun.

A second-rank official in the imperial court and a pillar of the empire's northern border.

"explain."

General Xu Dingchun, the Zhenbei General, spoke slowly.

"A spy saw the deputy leader of the Tianxin Sect appear to the west of the Great Wall."

Xu Dingchun's long, snow-white eyebrows slightly raised.

The deputy leader of Tianxin Sect is a big shot.

Even he had to take it seriously.

However, Xu Dingchun did not take any further action. After a long time, he turned around and looked at a middle-aged man about forty years old beside him.

Although this middle-aged man looks to be in his prime, his every move makes people mistake him for an old man, especially his loose gray robe which is particularly eye-catching.

"Dong Wanjun, what do you think?"

Yes, the middle-aged man standing next to the General Zhenbei was none other than Dong Wanjun, who had broken through his perception and regained his youth.

Dong Wanjun only said four words: "I'll go and take a look."

If it were other generals of the Zhenbei Army, they might carefully analyze the intentions of the deputy leader of the Tianxin Sect, or they might send their men to investigate further.

But Dong Wanjun is different.

His answer was simple: go there and you will naturally get the answer.

The corners of Xu Dingchun's mouth rose slightly. This Dong Wanjun was really to his liking.

"Not afraid?"

The strength of the deputy leader of Tianxin Sect is extremely terrifying, and he has already entered the stage of enlightenment.

"afraid."

Dong Wanjun did not hide it at all, nor did he intend to take credit for it. It was a fact that he could not beat the big shot of Tianxin Sect.

"very good."

Xu Dingchun nodded with satisfaction.

If he is afraid, he will not die. Since he will not die, he is of course confident in letting Dong Wanjun go to the west.

Dong Wanjun received the order and without any delay, he descended from the city wall and led three hundred elite soldiers northward.

Xu Dingchun continued to stand on the top of the city wall, lost in thought.

Half a month has passed since the last war. The snowstorms in the north will not last long. The next blizzard will come soon, and no one knows how many people will die in this heavy snow.

On top of Wanjun Peak.

Bai Yuan was lying comfortably in the courtyard, while Liu Qing and Jiang Fei were massaging his shoulders and back.

These two women have great techniques and it feels very comfortable.

In order to make the two girls better able to please the true disciples who will serve them in the future, the families of Liu Qing and Jiang Fei specially found the best massage masters to teach them their skills, and of course their skills are first-class.

Liu Qing rubbed her sore little hands. Their young master was indeed a martial artist, and he could easily work hard.

But what she was more curious about was that Bai Yuan hadn't left the house for half a month.

"Sir, you're not going out today?"

Liu Qing asked, blinking her eyes.

"stay home."

Bai Yuan changed his position comfortably.

Ever since he received Lu Yu's letter, he has never left Wanjun Peak again.

It is better to believe it than not to believe it.

Although he has not yet figured out the meaning of Lu Yuxin's message, he cannot risk his life to do so.

However, even though he stayed in the courtyard of Wanjun Peak all day, he was still very busy.

He had just broken through to the entry level, and the spiritual soup he had previously used was no longer sufficient to support his cultivation, so he needed a higher-level spiritual soup.

Fortunately, he has now become a true disciple, and has received several rounds of rewards from the sect leader Murong Tian.

Just don't be too extravagant.

Therefore, you only need to go to the herbal medicine shop to get the things needed to make the magic soup. If there is no herbal medicine shop, then you can send Liu Qing and Jiang Fei to the city market to buy them.

As for bargaining?

What Mr. Bai lacks the least now is money.

But just as Bai Yuan was quietly enjoying the imperial meal, he suddenly frowned.

The eighth-level demon is moving again.

Through the perception of the monster hunter, he discovered that the eighth-level monster that hid the secret of the divine palace was slowly moving towards Wanjun Peak.

Bai Yuan observes the movement trajectory of the eighth-level monster every day.

To sum up, there is no pattern, it is just done casually.

But today's abnormality still made Bai Yuan feel abnormal.

"Never mind, I have to check it out once."

Bai Yuan finally made a decision.

Although he still cannot defeat an eighth-level monster, he can always watch from afar with his skills as a monster hunter and his master-level movements.

What's more, the eighth-level monster has existed for at least a thousand years, and there has never been any report of any disciple disappearing for no reason in Shenfu Mountain.

Bai Yuan stood up.

"I'm going out."

"."

Liu Qing and Jiang Fei both blinked in confusion. It seemed that their young master had just said that he would not go down the mountain today.

However, these two girls were not daughters of officials who had never served others before, so they naturally would not ask questions in an tactless manner.

Bai Yuan pushed open the door.

He descended Wanjun Peak all the way down. He followed the direction of the evil spirit and climbed over several hills, and finally stopped at a mountain top.

This is already the border of Shenfu Gate.

After several months of observation, he found that although the activities of the eighth-level monster were irregular, it had never left the range of Shenfu Mountain.

Bai Yuan guessed that he was probably imprisoned by some force.

It's just that he can't reach it with his current strength.

The mountain under his feet was much higher than the surrounding mountains, so standing on the top of the mountain he could see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Ordinary people would only find the scenery pleasant.

But in Bai Yuan's eyes, it was very different.

The evil spirit is endless.

The demonic energy was so strong that it had even merged into its surroundings. No one except the highly skilled demon hunters could detect any clues.

As for the whereabouts of the big monster, it is still too far away and Bai Yuan can't see any clues.

There are few demon hunters in the world, and most of them live in southern Xinjiang.

There are very few monster hunters like Zhou Siming who come to the northern border, let alone come to Shenfu Mountain.

Only an all-round talent like Bai Yuan could discover the clues.

However, what surprised Bai Yuan was that there was a faint purple aura in the endless demonic aura.

In previous lives, it was often said that purple air came from the east.

According to legend, the founder of Taoism, Laozi, rode a green ox through Hangu Pass. The commander of the pass, Yin Xi, saw purple air floating over the pass and knew that a saint was coming.

Therefore, wherever purple air appears, there must be extraordinary fortune.

Just like Yin Xi, the commander of Hangu Pass, who obtained the Tao Te Ching which has been passed down for thousands of years and was able to leave his name in history.

Although Bai Yuan didn't know what was in the divine palace, he knew it must be extraordinary.

Could it really be a fairy cave?

Bai Yuan, a staunch atheist, wavered for the first time.

He took another look, then turned and walked down the mountain.

The eighth-level monster moves extremely slowly. Even if it wants to reach Wanjun Peak, it will take at least half a year. There is no need to worry about these things for the time being.

"Sir, you are back."

Liu Qing looked at Bai Yuan who came back.

Bai Yuan was out for only about an hour, and he probably came back before he even left Shenfu Mountain.

"Sir, do you want to continue?"

Liu Qing asked tentatively.

Bai Yuan nodded: "Continue playing the music, continue dancing."

Liu Qing, Jiang Fei: “???”

Huanglong Mansion, main peak, master's hall.

"Master, the Lingzhou Army went to the government office."

Murong Jiujiang stood respectfully beside the sect leader Murong Tian.

"I see."

Murong Tian waved his hand.

Murong Jiujiang looked at his elder, master, and headmaster with concern.

Everyone in Huanglong Mansion thought that the leader of Shenfu Sect, Murong Tian, ​​was in seclusion, but in fact, the leader had not been having a very comfortable time during this period.

He had no idea how many secret attacks from generals and prefects he had blocked.

It really is true that there is no such thing as a peaceful life in this world, it’s just that someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.

Huanglong Mansion now looks peaceful and harmonious, but in fact Murong Tian has put in countless efforts.

As early as a month ago, he had fought with General Zhaowu outside the city.

Of course, Murong Tian won. Otherwise, the Lingzhou army would have entered Huanglongfu City long ago and would not have camped outside the city.

Only if your fist is strong enough will the evil guests not dare to bully the host.

In fact, such situations have occurred many times in the thousand years since the establishment of Shenfu Sect, and Lingzhou has always wanted to take a piece of the fat meat of Shenfu Sect.

Every once in a while, they would send someone to test it.

Once they discover that the Shenfu Sect is showing signs of weakness, the next thing they will face is the Lingzhou army.

It’s just that the Shenfu Sect has produced heroes from generation to generation, and no matter how Lingzhou tried to spy, he was eventually blocked.

The current Lingzhou general has been in office for twenty years, and he has long coveted Huanglong Mansion.

Although on the surface the Shenfu Sect and the Lingzhou Army did not have much interaction, only Murong Tian knew the bloodiness behind it.

Otherwise, do you really think that Qingyang Prefecture can produce a leader of the Killing God Prefecture?

Ruan Xiulua's late husband, the previous master of Qianzhu Peak, was killed by a strong man from Qingyang Prefecture. However, everyone with a discerning eye knew that it was a master of Lingzhou Army who killed the previous master of Qianzhu Peak.

Apart from the peak master surnamed Li, too many masters of the Shenfu Sect have died at the hands of the Lingzhou Army over the past thousands of years.

There are even two sect masters among them.

In fact, such situations are very common in Xuanyang, and there are always open and covert struggles between the imperial court and the sects.

After all, not every emperor of Xuanyang has the mind and courage of Taizu.

Moreover, even if the emperor sitting high in the Golden Palace has no intention of dealing with the sects in the world, how could those local princes like the general of Lingzhou give up the fat meat at their fingertips?

After all, everyone in the world is pursuing profit.

It has been like this throughout the ages.

Murong Tian suddenly asked: "How is Bai Yuan now?"

Murong Jiujiang: "I have been staying at Wanjun Peak recently."

Murong Tian nodded.

He was always keeping an eye on this outstanding talent among his true disciples.

Even though there are still a few geniuses who have broken through the Entering Strength barrier among the true disciples, Murong Tian knows that these people have reached the limit of Entering Strength and it is impossible for them to break through to the Perception.

Unless it is Dong Wanjun's extraordinary level of strength, the help to Shenfu Sect is actually not that great.

In Murong Tian's opinion, the young disciples of this generation who are most likely to break through are Murong Jiujiang and Bai Yuan.

Naturally, he was very concerned about Bai Yuan, his true disciple.

He and Dong Wanjun will die one day, and at that time, Shenfu Gate will definitely be handed over to Bai Yuan and the other two.

If the successor is not chosen well, Shenfu Sect’s thousands of years of struggle will be in vain.

It is useless if the master is powerful but the disciple is cowardly.
