My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 331 Unexpected Encounter
In a temporary camp,

The surrounding protective arrays shattered, the ground cracked, and most of the temporary earthen fortress, originally built of wood, collapsed.

Several corpses lay scattered not far away.

Some wounds oozed water, turning the nearby puddles red.

Undoubtedly not long ago,
A significant battle took place here.

Just at this time,

Wu Tianhao, who stormed the temporary camp and achieved a great victory,
He stared in disbelief at the figure in front of him.
"Senior Brother Hong, what are you doing here?"

The person before me,

His clothes were tattered, and his hair was swollen and looked like a beggar's chicken coop.

But its face,

It was undoubtedly Hong Yang, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall!

"Senior Brother Hong, didn't the people from the External Affairs Hall say you were away on a mission?"

"How dare you say that?!"

It makes me angry just thinking about it.
Hong Yang immediately pointed at the two men, wishing he could poke holes all over their bodies.

He roared:

"Do you know how hard it was for me to infiltrate their ranks?!"

"A whole month! I dressed up as a beggar for a whole month!"

"We were on the verge of finding their hideout, but you two hotheads ruined it!"

"Cough cough, senior brother, senior brother, calm down, calm down."

"Junior Brother Shen and I didn't know you were here, since you were disguised and we wouldn't recognize you."

Wu Tianhao quickly waved his hand, forcing a 'friendly' smile, and hurriedly spoke up to defend himself.

He only said that.
But inwardly, he couldn't help but secretly scoff.

Who doesn't know that among all of Master's disciples, you are the one who likes to slack off and procrastinate the most?

What do you mean it took you a month to get in? Are you just using this as an excuse to skip work and slack off?
So, it's my fault after all?

Seemingly sensing Wu Tianhao's thoughts,

Hong Yang's face seemed to disappear into the shadows at this moment, transforming into a terrifying demon king, his boundless killing intent fixed on Wu Tianhao.

Gulu!

Wu Tianhao swallowed hard.

It’s over!

Senior Brother Hong is very petty!

Almost instantly, Wu Tianhao foresaw the miserable fate that awaited him.
"No, no, no, that's not true!"

"It's all my and my junior brother's fault. We didn't do proper reconnaissance before stepping in, ruining your plans, senior brother!"

"Please forgive me, senior brother!"

With a fawning smile on his face, Wu Tianhao carefully walked behind Hong Yang.
She gently pressed his shoulder in a conciliatory manner, giving him a massage to loosen his bones.

the other side,
Shen Changchuan stared at the scene before him, somewhat dumbfounded.

So these two are actually very close?

"Forget it!"

"Actually, we're probably close to their stronghold. A minor accident is nothing to worry about."

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

Hong Yang slapped Wu Tianhao's hand away and stopped rambling, asking a question instead.

He usually just likes to tease his cute junior brothers and sisters.

When it comes to serious matters, he is still very serious.

"Senior brother, this is what happened."

Wu Tianhao then quickly explained the situation.

There's nothing to hide.
He had basically taken on a mission to find someone, but after more than half a month he had found nothing. Just as he was about to give up and go back, he noticed that the group was acting strangely, and that there was someone Shen Changchuan knew among them, so he started to follow them.
Seeing that the group had arrived at the temporary camp and had not gone out again,

Moreover, since the blood talismans in their hands did not react, they simply launched a surprise attack on the outpost. Even if they couldn't find any clues, they could still rescue the people.

"Is this so"

After hearing the whole story, Hong Yang looked thoughtful.

"In that case, you two can work together with your senior brother from now on. It's good that you two have the strength to leave the body, so the rest of the operation shouldn't be a problem."

"And who knows, maybe your targets are actually inside."

"Uh, Senior Brother Hong, what do you mean by that?"

"You really think I've been slacking off and avoiding the miscellaneous tasks of the External Affairs Hall for the past month?"

Hong Yang rolled his eyes at Wu Tianhao.

"The reason I came here this time is because I discovered information about the demonic path."

Hong Yang did not hide anything.
He then revealed his mission and purpose for the trip.

In fact, this is somewhat related to Shen Changchuan and his team's mission.

In the last six months,
Some cultivation forces living in the desolate forests discovered that their people had mysteriously disappeared, seemingly abducted by an unknown force, which attracted the attention of the small and medium-sized forces that had originally submitted to the Longxiao Sect.

However, there aren't many cultivators who have mysteriously disappeared yet.

Therefore, it has not attracted much attention from the outside world.

But not long ago, a surviving eyewitness discovered that the mysterious forces seemed to be using demonic methods and reported it to Hong Yang, who then realized that something was wrong.

So he came to investigate in person.

And through some analysis, he eventually managed to infiltrate the escort team.

They planned to take this opportunity to follow them into their lair and investigate the purpose of the demonic cultivators hiding behind it.

The result was unexpected.

However, they encountered Wu Tianhao and his group midway through, which directly disrupted their plans.

"What are those demonic cultivators doing here?"

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He had some dealings with demonic cultivators.

Back in Dawan Village, he had encountered demonic cultivators from the Southern Yue Kingdom and fought against them.

Even during the great upheaval in Wu Family Town, when he was only at the ninth level of cultivation, he was attacked by a Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator. Later, that severely injured Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator even attacked Dawan Village, only to be killed by his own reverse strike.
Speaking of,
Before the founding of the Longxiao Sect

The cave ruins have been opened.

Master You Longzi seems to have fought a demonic cultivator from the Southern Yue Kingdom who was called Seven Absolute Old Demon, right?

Wasn't that Seven Deadly Demons already injured and driven back by Master You Longzi?

Could there be something important in this desolate place?

Let them be determined to win?
He muttered to himself,
However, Shen Changchuan did not show it.

I heard that Senior Brother Hongyang is at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Furthermore, as one of You Longzi's personal disciples, he must possess some trump cards and techniques, so it shouldn't be a problem.

and,

Shen Changchuan thought of the jade talisman in his storage bag that belonged to Zhou Lingyun and had sealed the attack of a peak Divine Travel Realm cultivator.

I felt a little more at ease.

"It's a pity, their backyard probably already knows about what happened here."

Between talking,

Hong Yang picked up a stick and pried open the hand of a man in black, revealing a broken warning jade talisman inside.

Before he died, this person had already issued a warning.

This made Hong Yang's expression somewhat solemn.

"Let's set off now, lest they just run away."

"Yes!"
