Zhou Yan said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, when we arrived in Xihan Yuanzhou, we did not deal with the Han family, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"
Qin Yunchuan nodded and said: "Since Protector Feng said, I have noticed you sneaking in here a long time ago. Today I met people from the Jiuli tribe again. If you go inside, it will be even more dangerous. How about..."
Shen Mengdie said in a deep voice: "Brother Qin, I understand what you mean. But when Master asked us to sneak into Xihan Yuanzhou, didn't he just want to get some information?"
"This moment is the same as that moment!" Mu Jingyu said: "Brother Qin is right. Han Yao has noticed your whereabouts a long time ago and will definitely tell the Jiuli tribe. The sudden encounter with the patrolling clan members today is not an accident. , I guess they have discovered your traces a long time ago, so they will approach you silently."
"As for continuing to go deep into the Netherworld Ghost State to explore their next plan, I don't think it is necessary. Brother Qin and I will try our best to find you, just to take you back to the Jiuhua Sect."
"But..." After finally arriving here, Shen Mengdie certainly didn't give up. She wanted to argue a few words, but was interrupted by Su Yingying.
"Xiaodie, I know I don't want to give in. But the current situation no longer allows us to continue. In my opinion, we should follow the advice of Jingyu and Senior Brother Qin and return to the master first."
"But we are really not willing to go back like this..." After Zhou Yan said something in a deep voice, he suddenly said: "Jingyu, you said that Han Yao... had defected to the Jiuli tribe a long time ago. And secretly framed you. Did he plan the incident?"
Before Mu Jingyu could speak, Qin Yunchuan had already answered: "I heard this with my own ears, and Han Yao admitted it with my own mouth. It cannot be wrong."
Mu Jingyu asked curiously: "Sister Zhou, what do you mean by this? Do you mean..."
"That's what you are thinking!" Zhou Yan nodded heavily, and then analyzed: "Look, if the Han family is really won over by the Jiuli tribe. Han Yao is the mastermind behind framing you, then what they think You must have a lot of information, right?"
After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yan continued his analysis: "If this is the case, then why should we take the risk and go to the Jiuli tribes to inquire about information? Wouldn't it be easier to get some useful information by directly sneaking into Ice City?"
"Wonderful!" Shi Dahong, a silly boy, finally got the idea. He clapped his hands and said, "They think that our next purpose is to go to the various tribes in Jiuli to inquire about news. But if we do the opposite, , if we return to Ice City, we will definitely exceed everyone’s expectations!”
After everyone thought about it, they all felt that Shi Dahong was right. Shen Mengdie even reached out and patted Shi Dahong on the shoulder and praised: "Shi Dahong, that's not bad! Your stone head has finally enlightened you."
Shi Dahong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear after being praised by Shen Mengdie in person. There was nothing left to say except giggles.
Mu Jingyu then continued: "This is indeed a good idea! Not only can I get useful information, but more importantly, I also want to take this opportunity to get the lists of all the spies placed in each faction. arrive!"
Qin Yunchuan frowned, shook his head and said: "Huh? Jingyu, those spies are placed in various factions by the Jiuli tribe with great effort. Even if the Han family has defected to the Jiuli tribe, how could they do something confidential like this?" Do you know?"
Su Yingying also agreed: "Yes, no matter what, Han Wenyuan is not from the Jiuli clan. It would be good if he can know 20 to 30% of the spies. It is impossible to have a list of everyone."
"You are wrong about this." Mu Jingyu said confidently: "At the beginning, I thought the same as you. I felt that such confidential matters must have been handled by Elder Guli and others. The Han family must have Don’t know much.”
"But after going deep into the Netherworld Ghost State, I found that the people of Jiuli's various tribes, whether in terms of clothing, appearance or behavior, are very different from the human races in other states. They basically still maintain the same behavior as thousands of years ago. Habit. If they show up in the other states, it won’t take long for them to slip through the cracks.”
"But judging from the few things I have encountered, these spies who are secretly inserting themselves into various factions, regardless of their status or cultivation level, are not members of the Jiuli tribe. You may say that they are all like the Han family Just like that, they were bribed and won over by the Jiuli tribe. But when I think about it carefully, it’s completely wrong.”
Qin Yunchuan continued: "Yes! Those in high positions should be attracted. But Hu Lai from Guiyun Villa and Chen An from Lingxiao Pavilion are all low-status disciples in the sect. Even Jiang from Lei Gongbao Seriously, their status in Lei Gongbao is not high. Will the Jiuli tribe try their best to win them over? The only possibility is that they are disciples of Ice City themselves, secretly sent to various factions, ready to be dispatched at any time. .”
"Brother Qin is right!" Mu Jingyu said, "That's why I concluded that people like Hu Lai and Chen An are from the Han family! What's more likely is that even those spies in high positions are also Korean-speaking Yuan came forward to win over."
Zhou Yan said in a deep voice: "If you want to say that, it is indeed somewhat possible. Then our next step is to return to Ice City and use a carbine to kill Han Wenyuan by surprise."
The six of them met and smiled, and they all felt that returning to Ice City was a good idea. There was no need to waste any more time now, and he hurriedly left here before the Jiuli tribe found them.
Soon after the six people returned along the original road, Elder Guli and Rimang, the head of the Rimang clan, had quietly stood on the top of the huge rock.
"Elder Gu Li, Mu Jingyu and the others have gone far. It seems that they are preparing to return to the Jiuhua Sect. What should we do next?" Rimang looked at the six people who had long since disappeared and asked respectfully. road.
Elder Gu Li squinted his eyes, thought for a while and asked: "Is there any movement over Jin Yingzi's side? Did Ba Xie bring the news?"
Rimang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Elder Guli. I deliberately left Ba Xie to drink two days ago, and I told him about this while I was drunk. The result, of course, is as you expected, Ba Xie the next day I ran to tell Jin Yingzi early in the morning. At this moment, Waren and Tingna, two of Jin Yingzi’s personal attendants, have long since sneaked out to look for Mu Jingyu and the others."
"As long as the fish takes the bait." Elder Gu Li nodded and said, "It's not enough to just let Jin Yingzi take the bait. We need Warren and Tingna to find Mu Jingyu. Otherwise, the next step of the plan will not be carried out. .”
"What's so difficult about this!" Rimang patted his chest and said, "Their whereabouts have long been in my hands. As long as you tell me a location, elder, I will order the men in the clan to drive them to the same place." .”
"That's not necessary. If you are too deliberate, it will arouse the suspicion of Mu Jingyu." Elder Gu Li discovered that Mu Jingyu was no longer the Mu Jingyu he had first met. After all the things that happened in the past six months, both his character and resourcefulness have become much stronger than before. If you try to use some tricks to deceive him, it will not be easy to succeed.
"It's just that I vaguely feel that... they won't leave so easily. I'm afraid, there may be a next plan. Is this the plan? Is it according to Han Yao's arrangement, or is there another way?"
Rimang asked doubtfully: "Elder Guli, why did you say this? I just watched from a distance for a long time, but I didn't feel that they had any next plan."
"Haha..." Elder Gu Li shook his head with a smile and said to Rimang: "You, if you walk around outside more, your brain will naturally become more flexible."
From the half-day discussion that Mu Jingyu and the others had just spent on the boulder, Elder Gu Li could tell that they would definitely not leave easily. But Rimang didn't expect it, and he didn't want to say more.
Even when Mu Jingyu and the others arrived, it was a smooth journey. It's just that it's getting more and more difficult to go back along the original path.
Perhaps their traces were exposed, and the Jiuli tribe received Han Yao's early warning. Once the location of the six people was determined, countless members of the Jiuli tribe swarmed in. They were forced to change their route and did not dare to go back the way they came.
But in this way, they were completely lost in the Netherworld Ghost State. Suddenly heading east, suddenly heading west, bumping around like a headless fly.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that I saw a mountain peak in the distance. Several people observed it from a distance for a moment, and after combining it with the surrounding terrain, they unanimously felt that the peak in front was Quyang Mountain, which separated Netherworld Ghost State and Xihanyuan State. Whether it is right or wrong, no one is sure.
With no choice, the six of them could only assume that the mountain peak was Quyang Mountain and rush over to have a look first.
A journey of dozens of miles is neither far nor close. The six of them slowly approached the mountains in front while being wary of the possible appearance of the Jiuli tribe. When we were almost at the foot of the mountain, something unexpected happened.
Mu Jingyu originally wanted to go over the mountain to see the situation, but before he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he saw countless figures suddenly appearing from the top of the mountain. Judging from the clothes of those people, they were the Jiuli people they met in the middle of the night yesterday.
Mang Qing held the long knife upside down with one hand, looked at the six people on the mountainside and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I had expected that you would leave the Netherworld Ghost State from here, and I have already set up a dragnet, waiting for you to cast it! If you know what’s going on, I’ll surrender and report your identities and intentions. Maybe I’ll let you go for the sake of your master and leave the Netherworld Ghost State safely. Otherwise… hum…”
Shi Dahong raised his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain and said: "There seem to be a lot of them, but in fact they are not high in cultivation. Let me tell you, it is better for us to work together to get through before everyone has gathered around!"
"Don't be impulsive!" Qin Yunchuan said solemnly: "Have you forgotten that last night, there was an old man in the innate realm hiding nearby, who suddenly took action?"
Zhou Yan nodded and said: "They have long expected that we will leave from Quyang Mountain. There must be other people hiding in the dark. If we really want to let go and rush over, we will really fall into his trick and be unable to escape." ”
Su Yingying turned around and looked around and said: "The Quyang Mountain Range occupies a very large area and stretches for more than a thousand miles. I think we should retreat temporarily and find another way out. I don't believe it. They can still guard every mountain peak. , how about we escape?"
Mu Jingyu made a decision immediately: "If you want to leave, leave quickly. If someone else comes, it will be difficult to leave."
After Mu Jingyu finished speaking, he hit the cliff not far away with his sword. Wherever the Wuyin Immortal Sword touched, rocks cracked and smoke billowed, obscuring the figures of the six people.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the six of them each used their own skills, with Qin Yunchuan leading the way and Mu Jingyu staying at the end to hold down the formation. Everyone quickly fled towards the south.
Although the dust that suddenly rose up in the sky blocked Mang Qing's sight, in the eyes of Elder Guli, Chief Mangqingda, and the old man, it was like nothing.
"Chief Mangda, they fled towards the south. But Warren and Tingna are in the north. I'm going to trouble you to drive Mu Jingyu and the others back."
"Don't worry, Elder Gu Li, Mangda knows what to do." After Mangda said that, a small golden flag appeared in his hand, shining in the sunlight.
With the waving of the small golden flag in their hands, the Rimang people who were hiding on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain all appeared, shouting to Chao Mu Jingyu and the six of them surrounded him.
