"Jingyu, do you think Yi Hong is reliable?" Qin Yunchuan asked, staring closely at Yi Hong not far away. No matter how much Mu Jingyu trusted him, Qin Yunchuan was always worried about him.
Mu Jingyu turned around and said, "Why, does Brother Qin suspect there is fraud?"
"It's not impossible." Qin Yunchuan analyzed: "Look, as soon as we arrived at the boundary between Netherworld Ghost State and the Far North, we encountered a large number of sects from Xihanyuanzhou patrolling and guarding. It means that the Jiuli tribe already knows that the What happened in the Li tribe, we expected that we would come alone. Now, there are people chasing and intercepting us from all sides, but there is no one guarding this place, and Yi Hong appeared alone. Don't you... feel strange?"
"It's a bit strange." Yu Yuanxiu said: "Maybe Yihong will betray you as soon as he returns to Han Yao. Knowing that with these people, it is difficult for us to be our opponent, we will use your trust in Yihong to sell you Lure it out. Maybe there are heavy sieges within ten miles around, just waiting for you to show up."
Yu Yuanxiu had never met Yi Hong. He only knew about the relationship between several people from Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan, and the reason why Mu Jingyu let him live and surrendered loyally. Of course, he would not believe Yi Hong easily.
Mu Jingyu looked at Ba Zheng and asked, "Senior, with your advanced cultivation, do you think there are any enemies ambush within ten miles around?"
Ba Zheng shook his head and said: "Except for Yi Hong, the nearest people here are still seven or eight miles away. From my perception, there are only less than thirty or fifty people, and they are divided into teams of three or five people, several miles apart. Youyu, it should be the disciples of the Shi family who are looking for traces of us."
"That's it." Mu Jingyu said: "According to my opinion, Yi Hong did not expose his identity, let alone betray me and switch to Han Yao's subordinates. Presumably... it must be the high priest and others who learned about Zhu Li After what happened in the tribe, Han Wenyuan was ordered to send many sects in Xihanyuanzhou to defend and patrol here. As the young master of the Shi family, Yihong naturally had to be ordered to come. But he only worked but did not work hard, and deliberately sabotaged his work. , not allowing the Shi family disciples to step up patrols. But the other sects discovered our traces and asked him to send people to cooperate in the search. As a last resort, we can only risk showing up and looking for us."
Qin Yunchuan said: "So, you still believe Yi Hong and decide to go out and meet him?"
"Exactly!"
Yu Yuanxiu dissuaded him: "No, no, it's too risky. It's better to find another way to sneak into the far north. I won't believe it, and I won't be able to find another way!"
Mu Jingyu shook his head and said: "When I came here, I asked Jin Yingzi a long time ago. Even though the Netherworld Ghost State and the Far North are connected for thousands of miles, there may only be a few or five passages for people to pass. Now. They are all guarded by various factions in Xihan Yuanzhou, how should we get past?"
Qin Yunchuan and Yu Yuanxiu fell into silence. As soon as they discovered that the passage was guarded, they thought of finding another way. But all the surrounding snow peaks block it, and the environment inside is not only harsh, but there are also countless high mountains and deep valleys, making it extremely difficult to pass.
If there were only two people, Ba Zheng and Mu Jingyu, they could still forcefully break through with their cultivation. But their cultivation is insufficient, so it will probably take a lot of energy and time. By the time we cross the mountains, the war might have been over long ago. And you also face the risk of having nowhere to hide after being discovered.
"If that doesn't work, go back first. After meeting up with Miss Jin and the others, we can fight in together." Seeing that this method was not working, Yu Yuanxiu immediately thought of retreating temporarily.
"We can't go back!" Mu Jingyu immediately objected: "The four heads and many disciples are still in the hands of the Jiuli tribe. If they are not rescued in time, once a fight breaks out, they will be taken hostage by the high priest. Our The situation is quite passive.”
In fact, in addition to this reason, Mu Jingyu had another plan. The reason why Chi You's spiritual sense agreed to him and temporarily hid in the magic ax without showing up was because he wanted to use Mu Jingyu's hand to sneak into the temple and take the magic ax's spiritual sense first and regain his body. This way, all tribes in Jiuli can avoid the risk of war with Zhengdao and avoid the death and injury of a large number of tribesmen.
If he goes back to join Jin Yingzi, how can he fulfill Chi You's spiritual knowledge's instructions?
Yu Yuanxiu sighed: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Is the only thing left to do is go out to meet Yi Hong and risk being besieged?"
Qin Yunchuan suddenly remembered something and said to Ba Zheng: "Senior Ba Zheng, didn't you say that you had planted a spiritual energy mark in Yihong's body a long time ago? Can you use this spiritual energy mark to see if Yi Hong Are you sincerely here to see me?"
"Is this..." Ba Zheng said in embarrassment: "My spiritual energy mark can only take Yi Hong's life when he rebels, but cannot monitor his every word and deed at all times. Therefore, Qin Shaoxia's method , I’m sorry I can’t do it anymore.”
"Anyway, there is no other way. Let me go out and give it a try. If we wait for Yi Hong at night and cannot find us to leave, there will be no other way." Mu Jingyu looked into the distance and found that Yi Hong had been waiting for a long time. Before I knew it, I already had plans to leave.
"Be careful." Ba Zheng warned: "Once you find something abnormal, don't hold back."
"Understood." After Mu Jingyu finished speaking, he jumped down from the tree crown and appeared silently behind Yi Hong.
"Senior Brother Yihong, why are you here?" Mu Jingyu asked, pretending to have just discovered him.
Yi Hong's cultivation level is much lower than Mu Jingyu's. It wasn't until Mu Jingyu suddenly made a sound that he realized there was another person behind him. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but pat his chest after seeing Mu Jingyu's face clearly.
"Junior Brother Mu, you scared me to death." Yi Hong pulled Mu Jingyu and hid in the grass nearby, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you alone? I heard that there are senior Ba Zheng and a few others." People, come with you, where are they?"
Mu Jingyu smiled and said: "Oh, Senior Ba Zheng and the others have gone elsewhere to find a way to the Far North. I happened to pass by here and heard your voice, so I stopped in time to meet you. "
Of course Yi Hong knew that what Mu Jingyu said was a lie. I don't think there were many of them, so how could they rashly disperse when there was a blockade outside?
However, considering that he suddenly appeared, he was worried that there was an explosion, maybe he was hiding in the dark, watching him at any time.
After thinking about this, Yi Hong quickly said without exposing Mu Jingyu's lies: "The high priest and the others already know what happened in the Zhuli tribe. In order to claim credit, Han Yao asked the high priest to send people to search for you. Traces. Fortunately, Zhao Zhengming drove you to the Shi family's defensive territory, so I was able to get the news in time and come to inform you of the news."
Sure enough! Mu Jingyu nodded and asked, "I wonder if Senior Brother Yi took the risk to come to me just to tell you these things?"
"Oh, there is also the plan made by the high priest and others." Yi Hong said: "They expected that you would come alone, so they ordered all the factions in Xihanyuanzhou to set up defenses here. As long as they find your traces, and immediately send the news back to the temple. At that time, a large number of strong men will be killed. Junior Brother Mu, we can't stay here for long. You should go back and join the Jin clan leader, and wait for the righteous factions to arrive and fight together. Let’s fight towards the temple.”
"Even you think we can't get through it?" Since Yi Hong advised him to return immediately, Mu Jingyu had to seriously consider it.
However, the four heads are still in the hands of the high priest. If they are not rescued in advance, they will not be able to rest assured.
"Yi Hong, do you know where Elder Wu and Master Qinglian are now?" After Mu Jingyu thought for a moment, he decided to inquire about the whereabouts of the righteous sects first.
If they are approaching the temple, the high priest and Pluto will definitely deal with them with all their strength. By then, the guards here will definitely be transferred, wouldn't he have a chance to pass?
Unexpectedly, Yi Hong shook his head and said: "As far as I know, the righteous factions are still blocked outside the third line of defense. I am afraid that they will not have a few days to break through. Now, Zhao Zhengming has discovered your traces. It won't take long for the news to reach Han Yao's ears. By then, a large number of powerful people will come in person, and you will have no chance of running away."
Seeing that Mu Jingyu was unmoved, Yi Hong continued: "I know, Junior Brother Mu, you are worried about the head master and the other three heads, but do you know that the high priest urgently needs the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain in your hand? and Chi You’s magic ax, used to completely resurrect Chi You’s physical body. If...if these two things are taken away by the high priest, no one in the world will be the opponent of the Jiuli tribe!"
How could Mu Jingyu not know this? But how could he give up so easily before reaching the point of desperation? If we really dare not move forward, not only will the lives of the four masters and many disciples of various sects be at risk, but the Jiuli tribe will also suffer heavy casualties. When the time comes, how should I explain it to Chi You Lingshi?
"Senior Brother Yi, what is the situation with the four sect leaders and the disciples of each sect? You should know this."
"Them?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade Mu Jingyu, Yi Hong had to say honestly: "Since Elder Guli and others escorted them to the temple, they have been asked to take over the position of the Jiuli people. In the beast totem, Chi You's physical body was replenished with spiritual energy. The four heads and several elders of various sects were imprisoned in the stone statues inside. I don't know the specific situation."
"What, Junior Brother Mu, do you still want to sneak into the temple and rescue them in advance?" Seeing Mu Jingyu's silence, Yi Hong immediately guessed what she was thinking.
"Senior Brother Yi, let me ask you, since you returned to Han Yao, has he ever become suspicious of you? If...if I have a way to sneak into the temple, can you think of a way to help me rescue the disciples of various sects?"
"After I returned to Han Yao, I have been finding reasons to rarely have contact with him. So until now, Han Yao has not become suspicious of me. However, I know that the Jiuli tribe monitors the disciples of each sect very strictly. It is almost impossible to rescue the disciples of each sect without alerting them."
After Yi Hong finished speaking, he tried to dissuade him: "Junior Brother Mu, I know you are not willing to retreat temporarily. But...but the factions of Xihan Yuanzhou are nearby, and there is no way for you to hide from them and sneak into the surroundings of the temple."
Mu Jingyu said confidently: "Haha, there was no way at first. Now... I have a way."
"What can I do?" Yi Hong asked curiously.
"You'll find out later." Mu Jingyu clapped his hands and said towards the place where Ba Zheng and the others were hiding: "Senior Ba Zheng, Brother Qin, Brother Yu, you can come out now."
Using the techniques used by Mu Jingyu and Yi Hong to talk, Ba Zheng had already determined that there was nothing unusual around him. Coupled with Yi Hong's performance, the three of them were basically sure that he was not here to trick Mu Jingyu.
"Jingyu, what's your plan?" Qin Yunchuan asked impatiently as soon as he landed.
"If it's too dangerous, I won't agree." Yu Yuanxiu said immediately.
"Since Han Yao wants to know our whereabouts, we can take advantage of this." Mu Jingyu said, taking out the human skin cotton tool and handing it to Qin Yunchuan: "Brother Qin, you can disguise yourself as me later. Then. Let Yihong call out loudly on purpose to lure them all over. By then, they will definitely think that you are me, and I will hide. When you lure them away, sneak into the far north quietly and lure the tiger away from the mountain. I don’t know you. What do you think of my plan?"
"This..." Qin Yunchuan and the others looked at each other, thinking about the possibilities. In the end, I felt that Mu Jingyu's method could be tried, and it would have a high chance of success.
