After walking far, Mu Jingyu couldn't help but turn around and look at the old man who was still guarding the window.

The Tiger King seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said slowly: "This old bastard is originally a turtle spirit in Dongting Lake who has practiced for hundreds of years. During the heavenly way to eliminate demons twenty years ago, he was innocently involved in the Demon Underworld Palace and the righteous path. During the battle between various factions, thanks to the timely rescue of Demon Emperor Biluo, he was saved from death. From then on, he has been loyal to Demon Underworld Palace and the two Demon Emperors wholeheartedly."

"Although the two demon kings have both fallen now, the toad King Bei Pluto controls the entire Demon Hades Palace. The old bastard himself has a low level of cultivation and has no choice but to rely on his subordinates. However, his heart is still towards Princess Bi Yun."

Mu Jingyu didn't expect that this little old man with a mustache was actually trained by a turtle spirit. What's more, he didn't expect that his life experience had many similarities with Qingniu Jing.

After hearing Tiger King explain his origin in detail, I not only felt a little sympathy for him. I also thought of Grandpa Niu, whom I hadn’t seen for many years, and my eyes felt a little moist.

The two of them didn't speak, each had their own thoughts, and soon walked out of Kunshui City.

Behind them, two passers-by who looked like ordinary passers-by were hanging far behind them. After watching the two people leave the city gate, they stopped walking.

One of them whispered: "Guardian Feng, this Tiger King is really going to find Little Princess Bi Yun as you expected."

Another person smiled humbly and said: "Thank you, Elder Gu Li. If you hadn't put the Thousand Miles Sound Insect on Lamu Jingyu while he was in the dungeon, even if I had guessed the Tiger King's plan, We can’t find any trace of them either.”

Listening to the words of these two people, they were the two leaders of the black-robed men, Elder Gu Li and Protector Feng. It's just that they kept covering their faces with black robes, not revealing their true appearance. That's why Tiger King and Mu Jingyu didn't recognize them just now.

Elder Gu Li smiled when he heard this, looking quite contented. With two fingers pinching slightly, a small black insect in his fingers was crushed to pieces in an instant. At the same time, the old bastard also felt that something seemed to be pricked in his sleeve. He reached out and dug for a long time, but found nothing. He shook his head in confusion and ignored him.

"Since we know each other and have heard their next move, let's report it back to God immediately to see what he plans."

The two knew each other that it was the Gu worm that Elder Gu Li had just taken the opportunity to stuff into the old bastard's sleeve. Since the next whereabouts of King Tiger and Mu Jingyu have been found out through it, there is no use keeping it.

After the two of them finished speaking, they followed the crowd and disappeared outside Kunshui City.

Mu Jingyu followed Tiger King all the way south from the Holy State in the Central Region. Passing through more than a dozen cities along the way, they kept searching for Bi Yun's specific whereabouts in the caves where the Yaoming Palace was located.

Fortunately, King Tiger followed Mu Jingyu's suggestion and disguised themselves, which did not let them see through their true identities. The two got a lot of information from it, and gradually determined Bi Yun's specific whereabouts.

It turned out that Bi Yun, Qiuniang and Magu, relied on the speed of the big snow-white bird to fly hundreds of miles away at dawn. Naturally, I don’t know what happened next in Zangfeng Youzhong.

After getting the specific news and knowing that King Tiger was rescued by Mu Jingyu. While scolding the Shrimp Soldier and the Crab General, he actually dared to deceive her in public. When he saw the two of them later, he had to cut them into pieces.

On the other side, Bi Yun knew that Mu Jingyu actually rescued the Tiger King. While I was pleasantly surprised, I was also a little worried. Thinking about the person who had been worrying about him day and night, he did not fall to pieces on the jade flute stage, but appeared again and rescued the Tiger King. He was also worried that the two would be hunted down by various forces, so he clamored to go back to save them.

If the old bastard hadn't secretly conveyed to her the information about King Tiger looking for him in time, Qiuniang and Magu would have been unable to stop her.

After Magu's analysis, Bi Yun followed her advice. He decided to stay in Dongji Shengzhou and wait for them to come to his door.

More than ten days later, the Tiger King led Mu Jingyu on a journey, careful about being followed by all forces, while exploring Bi Yun's specific whereabouts.

After arriving at the boundary of Dongji Shengzhou, we finally learned the specific whereabouts of Bi Yun. Excited, he immediately sped up his journey and rushed towards the vicinity of Jianning City where Bi Yun was.

Jianning City is located in the west of Shengzhou in the east pole. Because it is close to the East China Sea and is located in a land of plenty, the folk customs are simple and wealthy. Although there are no major righteous sects in the territory, there are many small monastic sects and aristocratic families, which are extremely lively.

The Tiger King only knew that Bi Yun was near Jianning City, but he didn't know where exactly. However, she thought that since she already knew that the two were coming to look for her, she would definitely send people to guard the city, waiting for the arrival of King Tiger and Mu Jingyu.

By the time the two arrived at Jianning City, it was already evening. The two of them rushed into the city before the city guards closed the city gate.

Tiger King took Mu Jingyu to find an inn and settled down temporarily, thinking about waiting until dawn to go to the city to find the manpower arranged by Bi Yun.

A night of silence.

As soon as it got dark, Mu Jingyu urged the Tiger King to rush to the city to find the contact person Bi Yun had left here. Ever since he knew Bi Yun's exact whereabouts, he couldn't wait to see Bi Yun.

It's just that Jianning City is huge. The two of them searched secretly for a whole morning, but they didn't see the secret mark left by Bi Yun. The Tiger King was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed if he rashly searched for the cave where the Yaoning Palace was located.

He had no choice but to comfort Mu Jingyu while patiently continuing to search.

In the afternoon, King Tiger finally found a secret mark that he couldn't find anywhere near a house. At that moment, he took Mu Jingyu and knocked on the closed door.

Bang, bang, bang, knocked three times in a row, but there was no sound from the yard. The Tiger King was wary. He lay on the courtyard door and listened carefully for a moment before whispering something strange.

"Jingyu, we have been knocking on the door for so long. If there was someone inside, he should have come and opened the door long ago. I am afraid that something will happen inside."

Mu Jingyu said nervously: "King Tiger, do you think Bi Yun is inside? Is she in any danger?"

"According to the secret notes, this is just a villa, used for temporary rest and communication. The lady will not live there, so you can rest assured."

After King Tiger finished speaking, he walked along the courtyard wall to a small alley next to it. I looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so I turned over and jumped into the yard.

As soon as his body fell down, he felt a breeze blowing beside him, and Mu Jingyu also jumped in.

"Boy, why did you come here too!" Tiger King frowned and shouted with a hint of reproach.

The situation in the yard was unknown now. He relied on his innate cultivation skills to go in first to explore the situation. If there is an emergency, it will be easy to deal with.

Leaving Mu Jingyu outside, on the one hand, he was afraid that someone would take action to take care of his safety, and on the other hand, he wanted Mu Jingyu to guard him outside. If something really happened, it would be best to remind them outside to respond.

He forgot to explain, and Mu Jingyu jumped in immediately. However, seeing his slightly apologetic giggle, I had no choice but to suppress my helpless mood, whispered a few instructions to him, and walked into the yard first.

The whole courtyard was quiet. At first, King Tiger was afraid that there would be hidden enemies here. But judging from the surrounding situation, there was no fighting happening here. Come to think of it, it's just that people didn't stay in the yard.

After passing through a small garden in front, the two came to the front of a hall. Apparently, this is where the owner lives.

Tiger King gently opened the door and saw that the items in the room were neatly arranged and cleaned spotlessly. It must have been inhabited for a long time to keep it so clean.

On the Eight Immortals table in the side hall, a piece of snow-white rice paper was placed under the teapot. King Tiger picked up the rice paper casually.

"The black cat was ordered to wait here for the Tiger King for seven or eight days. Originally, according to the lady's instructions, he could not leave here without waiting for the Tiger King's arrival. But at noon today, he suddenly heard the people in the city talking about it. , it is said that traces of spirits were found thirty miles outside the city. Dozens of sects stationed here have all gathered and rushed there. I am worried about the safety of the young lady, so I hereby leave a letter to hope that the Tiger King will know .”

At the bottom of the rice paper letterhead, there is the signature of Black Cat and the inscription of the seventh day of May. And today is the seventh day of May.

This black cat is one of Bi Yun's guards and is usually trusted by Bi Yun. Therefore, after King Tiger confirmed that this was indeed the handwriting of Black Cat, he immediately fell into deep thought, thinking about various possibilities.

After hearing this, Mu Jingyu asked nervously: "Tiger King, is Bi Yun in danger? Let's go rescue her quickly."

The Tiger King said in a deep voice: "The black cat only said in the letter that there was a situation outside the city. It did not say that something happened to the young lady." After comforting Mu Jingyu, the Tiger King thought for a moment and then said: "Boy, you wait here first. . I will go outside the city alone to take a look. If the lady is not in danger, I will come back to pick you up."

Mu Jingyu flatly refused: "No, I want to go with you!"

"Nonsense! You jumped in after me just now, which is enough to worry me! What's more, the situation outside the city is unknown now. I can easily cope with troubles by myself. If I bring you with me again, I'll let you go." No more tampering.”

Although Tiger King's words were extremely hurtful, they were reasonable and did not mean to belittle Mu Jingyu in the slightest.

But when I heard him, I still felt harsh and heart-wrenching! The Tiger King is right. Although Mu Jingyu's cultivation has reached the early stage of Qi Transformation, he is really not a role in Jiuzhou. If faced with ordinary junior disciples, they can barely cope with it. When he encounters someone with stronger strength, he has no choice but to run away.

Mu Jingyu, Mu Jingyu, when he first entered Jiuhua Mountain, he was still full of confidence in cultivating the supreme magical power so that he could help Bi Yun in the future. But it's been nine years, and I'm still a drag.

King Tiger knew that what he had just said had hurt Mu Jingyu's self-confidence, so his expression softened, and then he comforted him and said, "I know you are worried about me, Miss, but you have to do what you can. Listen to my words, and stay here with peace of mind." Maybe the black cat has investigated the situation and will return here immediately after knowing that the lady is not a threat. If you stay, the black cat will also know that we are here."

Mu Jingyu knew this was the best arrangement: "Okay, I'll just follow your instructions, King Tiger."

Then he asked: "But if you never come back together, where should I find you?"

The letter left by the black cat did not indicate the specific location of Bi Yun. That's why Mu Jingyu asked this question.

Tiger King pinched the letter with his fingers, and a ball of flames rose from his fingertips, instantly turning the letter into ashes. In Mu Jingyu's exclamation, it fell fluttering down and turned into ashes of different sizes, scattered on the table of the Eight Immortals.

I saw that the letter that turned into ashes was still the same size. However, the burned rice paper turned into dozens of large and small groups, forming a seemingly chaotic pattern.

The Tiger King looked at her carefully for a while and then said: "The lady is in Liuhe Mountain outside the city, but the specific location is not revealed here."

It turns out that this rice paper letterhead is made using a secret method. After it is burned with flames, the ashes left behind can form special patterns or handwriting. It is an important means used by Bi Yun's subordinates to convey information.

Used to prevent the information left from being known by others. Only those who are well versed in this art can know the specific burning method and the specific information left in the pattern.

After the Tiger King blew away all the ashes, he said: "Only the general location of the lady is left here, probably for fear of being discovered. So, you can just stay here. If anything happens, I will come back to you immediately."

Mu Jingyu nodded helplessly: "I understand. Tiger King, if you have it, come to me as soon as possible. Don't keep me waiting."
