Zhaoyue City is located to the north and west of Dafeng Imperial Capital, three thousand miles away from the imperial capital.
Starting from Zhaoyue City, nearly five thousand miles to the southwest is Yingxiong Pass. Four thousand miles to the northwest is Wufeng Pass. After leaving Wufeng Pass and walking further, you will arrive at Dafeng Pass. 's territory.
The families of the 100,000 Longwu National Guard Army officers and the 80,000 Heroic Pass officers have been 'escorted' here one after another by Luocheng's arrangements over the past few days. This time Luocheng and Li Hong and his son are fleeing to Zhaoyue. city.
Although Hu Mingxian did not tell him to take people to escape to Zhaoyue City, from Luo Cheng's point of view, this city was the only safe place in the entire Dafeng territory.
He knew that in this gale territory, the only people Luo Fan could still care about were the family members of those soldiers. Therefore, Luo Fan would definitely make arrangements to ensure the safety of the family members of these soldiers. Moreover, among Luo Yingxiong, Father, Luo Linfei is among them, and Luo Yingxiong will definitely come to Zhaoyue City.
In his expectation, since Luo Yingxiong would go to Zhaoyue City, Lie Binglan would also come. With their cultivation, they would be able to keep Zhaoyue City safe. When the two of them confirmed that Zhaoyue City After being safe, it is impossible to say that he will return to the imperial capital to help Luo Fan.
Therefore, in the past three days, in addition to necessary rest and supplies, their small caravan from Luo City rushed to Zhaoyue City almost without stopping for a moment.
Under the dark night, Li Li rode up to Luo Cheng, bowed his hands and said worriedly: "Your Highness, the Duanhun Gorge is coming up ahead."
Hearing this, the entire convoy stopped. At Li Li's signal, thirty imperial guards immediately surrounded the three of them in the center, guarding the surroundings with extreme caution.
"Duanhun Gorge!" Looking at the black hole ahead, Luo Cheng's heart sank: "Duanhun Gorge is a dangerous place in our country, and it is also the only way for foreign enemies to invade the interior of Gale from this direction. It has always been They are all battlegrounds for military strategists. In the past, the souls of countless soldiers died here. The reason why Dafeng’s army clung to the five cities of Wufeng Pass was because of the soul-breaking gorge..."
"Fortunately, in that battle, Dafeng and Dayuan eliminated the soldiers from the five cities of Wufeng Pass, and all the soldiers from Duanhun Gorge were transferred to the border to garrison." After a moment of silence, Li Lida said: "Your Highness, why don't we speed up? Let’s wait until we cross the Broken Soul Gorge.”
"No!" Behind him, Li Hong hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "The Duanhun Gorge is less than ten feet wide, but it is thirty miles long, and there are high mountains on both sides. We have been tired of running for three days. If the front There is an ambush, and we might not be able to fight again, so why don't we rest and reorganize before setting off again at dawn."
Li Li did not argue anymore. Both his decision and his father's decision made sense. As for the decision, it was left to His Highness the Second Highness to decide.
In the center of the crowd, Luo Cheng paced back and forth, looking ahead and behind from time to time, unable to make a decision for a moment.
In the past three days, although their group had not encountered any obstruction, Luocheng knew that if there was an ambush ahead, they would definitely choose Duanhun Gorge, and there would also be pursuers from behind, forcing them to go to Duanhun Gorge.
Not long after, Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Let the soldiers repair where they are, regain their strength as soon as possible, and set off overnight."
"yes!"
After answering, Li Li immediately assigned two soldiers, one to go to Duanhun Gorge to investigate, and the other to go back to the rear to guard, and they were limited to one hour. If the two failed to return on time, it meant that they had been killed. They will spring into action.
In the dark night, we are located on the official road in the mountain forest. In addition to the intrusive chirping of insects and birds, there are also roars and cries of birds and beasts from time to time in the forest, making the dark night even more dangerous.
The remaining people did not dare to raise a bonfire, nor did they dare to dismount. They were all in a tense state of being ready to go at any time.

I ate some dry food and then took a nap to regain my energy.
Time passed like this little by little, and as the return time of the two inquiring soldiers got closer and closer, everyone's spirits gradually became tense.
"Walk!"
After looking at the sky, he saw that the time had come but no one had returned. Luo Cheng immediately gave the order, and the caravan immediately abandoned the three carriages and all rode horses straight to Duanhun Gorge.
The next thirty miles of Duanhun Gorge will be their life and death.
Sure enough, before they had run half the distance, Luo Cheng and the group were blocked amidst bursts of neighing. At that moment, led by Li Li, 28 imperial guardsmen protected Luo Cheng and Li Hong. In the center, a group of people glanced at the top of Duanhun Gorge with great uneasiness.
Looking at the road ahead that was completely blocked by boulders, Luo Cheng's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
"Everyone, I am the second prince of Dafeng. Why don't you let us go? You are all aware of the current situation in Dafeng. If I succeed as the emperor, I will definitely not forget your kindness!"
After calming down, Luo Cheng did not deliberately hide his identity. He clasped his fists and shouted loudly across the dark night.
"Hahahaha..." After a period of silence, a burst of laughter fell from the sky, and a figure was seen standing in front of Luo Cheng and others.
Then I heard the man sneer and say: "Did you hear that this good-for-nothing still wants to be the Lord of the Gale Emperor and doesn't even urinate to look after himself? If His Highness hadn't thought of his brotherhood and protected him, he would be here." I don’t know how many times I have died in the imperial capital.”
As the words fell to the ground, dozens of figures floated down from above the Duanhun Gorge, completely cutting off Luo Cheng and others' way of survival.
One of them echoed: "Your Highness, I advise you to give up this idea. If you dare to betray His Highness the Crown Prince, you will have no way out."
"Everyone, that Blood Prison Shura dares to compete with a strong man at the ninth level of the divine soul. The emperor's cultivation level is only at the ninth level of blood coagulation. Even if he breaks through to the bone-casting realm, he may not be the opponent of the Blood Prison Shura."
Taking a deep breath, Luo Chengqiang calmed himself and said: "Even if Madam White Bones helps the imperial brother, it should not be difficult for Blood Prison Shura to kill the imperial brother by force. When the time comes, whether Madam White Bones kills Blood Prison Shura or not, it will not be difficult." I won't care about this Gale Dynasty.
Among the princes, I already have the support of the Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief Li Li, so I will definitely win the position of emperor. I hope you will think twice before doing so. "
"What His Highness said is not unreasonable."
One of them responded, but without waiting for Luo Cheng and others to be happy, he immediately teased: "However, His Highness the Second Highness doesn't think that we also care about the rewards from the Gale Dynasty... You, Li Hong, and Li Li, you three are worth it There are three sect quotas. When we go back with your heads, we can worship directly in the Red Face and White Bone Path. What will happen to the Second Highness?"
At this moment, Luo Cheng was silent. No matter what, he couldn't get a reward that could match the sect's quota. What's more, he was not the emperor yet, and he might not have the chance to become the emperor in the future...
While dealing with these people in Luo City, Li Li's heart also sank to the bottom...
As the commander-in-chief of the Tianwu Imperial Guards, Li Li's cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi training. The thirty imperial guards he brought out are all his confidants. Although their cultivation levels are not high, they are all in the third level of Qi training. ,quadruple.
But among the thirty-two people on the opposite side, the highest one is also at the ninth level of Qi training, which is enough to contain him. The rest are all at the fifth level of Qi training, and there are even five people who have reached the eighth level of Qi training.
With such a disparity in strength, they might not be able to escape from the Duanhun Gorge tonight.
Not only that, there are pursuers at the rear...
"Do it!"

After the negotiation, the group of people stopped talking and took action immediately.
"Wait!"
Luo Cheng plucked up the courage, shouted violently, and risked his life, saying: "When I left the city, I already sent a message to Luo Yingxiong and Lie Binglan. They should be not far from here at this moment. If you all retreat here, what will happen before?" The commitment remains unchanged.
If I die, Luo Yingxiong will definitely not spare you. Are you willing to risk your lives to protect the others and take our heads back to recover, and then worship in the path of red faces and bones? "
Not to mention, Luo Cheng's alienation strategy really intimidated the opponent. Several people who were about to rush forward stopped and turned to look at the leader.
"Boss, what should I do?"
"If what this kid says is true, we can't deal with Hero Guangluo alone."
"..."
Although a few people asked this, more people were silent, thinking that if they really encountered Luo Yingxiong, who among them would be willing to hold Luo Yingxiong back, and the rest would enjoy the glory and wealth in the end... …
"That's all nonsense. Didn't we agree on it when we came? Who can get the spot depends on your own means. Now kill them first."
Seeing that everyone had their own agenda, the leader immediately roared at the top of his voice and woke everyone up. At that moment, these people no longer thought about it, and they all attacked Luo Cheng's group.
"Fire Palm!"
"Wind Soul Blade!"
"Kaishan Fist!"
"..."
With loud shouts, these people all used their martial arts skills and directly attacked the soldiers headed by Li Li.
"kill!"
Li Li was also cruel here. He roared and rushed out first. After deflecting several attacks in front of him with one shot, he rushed directly in front of the leader of the Nine Heavens. The two of them started fighting in an instant.
But the remaining guards became lambs to be slaughtered. Their cultivation and numbers were inferior to each other, and they all died in a short time.
"Brothers, come on! Whoever gets the spot in the sect depends on who grabs their heads first."
With a loud shout, these people rushed directly to Luo Cheng and Li Hong.
"Your Highness! Father!"
During the fight, Li Li was in a hurry and was full of flaws. The leader hit him on the chest with a palm, and his whole body was hit against the cliff, vomiting blood.
"Luo Yingxiong, Lie Binglan, if you don't take action, I will never forgive you!"
Facing the fierce offensive, Luocheng protected Li Hong and retreated to the huge rocks blocking the road. Finally, he couldn't help but roar in despair!
"Raging Flame Lotus!"
At this moment, with a clear low groan, a spear burning with blazing flames fell from the sky and pierced into the center of the crowd. In an instant, a flaming lotus rose up and enveloped the thirty-two warriors.
"Destroy!"
Falling in front of Luo Cheng, Luo Yingxiong shook his fingers slightly, and saw the flame lotus suddenly twisting and gathering, turning into a palm-sized flame lotus and bursting. The thirty-two people didn't even have time to howl in agony, and the sky slowly filled the sky. The spark of annihilation disappeared completely.
Seeing Luo Yingxiong go to help Li Li up, Luo Cheng was completely stunned. He just roared in despair, but he didn't expect Luo Yingxiong to actually show up.
Arriving in front of Luo Cheng, Luo Yingying patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go quickly."
A palm shattered the boulder blocking the road. After Luo Cheng and Li Hong and his son mounted their horses again, Luo Yingxiong looked back at the direction of the imperial capital, sighed softly, and galloped away with the three of them.
