The gray shadow of the city tower fell, and the captain of the guard at the west gate of Jingyang glared and shouted indiscriminately: "Who dares to cause trouble and attack the city gate!"
When he saw Xue Tong and Gu Puppet clearly, his face froze, and he changed his words in shock: "Senior Xuanmen is here, I'm rude to you!" and then scolded his subordinates: "Two blind people, how dare you treat your senior Disrespectful!”
The two guards immediately obeyed and bowed to apologize.
Although the guards of Jingyang City were from the government, the rules of the Canghan Dynasty were to coexist with the Xuan Realm. The guard captain had a late-stage martial arts training, so he recognized Xue Tong's power and hurriedly ordered him to give way.
"Xu Chuanxiang is my man. He transports goods between Hengyuan Fort and Jingyang and does some business. If you dare to collect money randomly from now on, your life will be in danger!" Xue Tong warned.
The captain waited for the camel team to go far away, his expression became serious, and he quickly left for Nancheng.
Half an hour later, the city gate guard Qi Fenwu frowned after listening to the guard captain's complaint, "You idiot, are you still drunk? The day after tomorrow, the summit has figured out where the person is, lead the way!"
The camel team was unloading the goods at the Merchant Inn, and Xue Tong was drinking tea in the front hall. The ugly appearance of the bone puppet scared away all the previous diners.
Qi Fenwu rushed over quickly, jumped off his horse and shouted, "Where are these casual cultivators from, how dare they resist inspection!"
Xue Tong smiled slightly and said, "Which military master has arrived, Wei is not far away to greet him."
Qi Fenwu was stunned and felt Xue Tong's cultivation. In his early days, in front of Xue Tong, he looked like a young child with no power to restrain a chicken.
Qi Fenwu's face changed slightly, "Please tell me about Taoist priest Gao's name. The camel team entered the city without inspection. I feel deeply derelict in my duty."
"You people are so high-sounding, but no one knows about the little ninety-nine in your belly." Xue Tong slandered, and said with a laugh: "I'm a poor man, Wei. The goods are still in the backyard. The general is welcome to inspect. Wei did not stop the guards. I just can’t stand the extortion and rough treatment of the brigade that works hard to transport goods.”
"There's no need to check. With Taoist Master's level of cultivation, it's easy to bring things into the city."
"I dare to ask why the elder came to Jingyang, and what sect he comes from?" Qi Fenwu asked.
"Maybe you don't believe me. Wei was teleported from another continent and landed in the center of the Yuanqi Flame Desert. You are both a member of the Xuanmen and a military attache of the imperial court. Have you ever heard of special events such as landslides and earth ruptures recently? "
Qi Fenwu shook his head.
Xue Tong asked about the status of the mainland kingdom and Xuanmen.
Yuanqi Continent is 12,000 miles from east to west and 9,000 miles from north to south. The desert accounts for about 30% of the area. The entire continent was unified into the Canghan Dynasty.
The number of Xuanmen is unknown, but the largest, Zhenyuan Palace, Ziwei Clan, and Canghan Royal Clan, have a balanced power.
"Beyond the mainland is the sea" Xue Tong asked.
"Well, the endless sea, but there have never been any records of the other side of the sea."
"What level is the strong man in the Yuan Qi Xuan Realm? Is he a master or an innate?"
"There are very few Yuan Qi Xiantian-level warriors, and even more so, Grandmasters are unheard of."
"Have you ever heard of places like Sogo Continent or Wanyu Island?"
Qi Fenwu shook his head again.
Xue Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Qi seemed to be small, and Xuanjie was lagging behind Chong Guang and Wan Yu. Finding the teleportation device was slightly less difficult than expected.
"Give me a detailed picture of Yuan Qi!" Xue Tong said.
"The detailed plan is related to military affairs. It is really difficult to redeem the official!"
Xue Tong sighed and reached out to grab it.
A strong force oppressed Qi Fenwu, making him unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the detailed map of Yuan Qi in the storage bag was snatched away by Xue Tong.
"You came in such a rage and left without leaving anything behind. It seems that you have no temper. Wei has no ill intentions and just wants to return to Wanyu as soon as possible. You can be clear with your superiors and pass the responsibility to Wei."
Qi Fenwu's face turned red and white. He relaxed and hurriedly exited the inn, fearing that Xue Tong would change his mind and kill someone.
"The dynasty will never allow Xiantian-level warriors to serve as the guards of Jingyang City. It is probably the Xuansha Gang's turn to appear."
Xue Tong left the camel team's inn and entered the busy neighborhood.
The scale of Jingyang City is similar to that of Jiyuan City, but the architectural style is different. Clay-fired red bricks are built into brick houses, with clear eaves and corner lines and no overturned eaves.
Xue Tong took away the bone puppet and entered a luxuriously decorated inn. He stayed behind closed doors and waited for the rest of the story.
Two days later, a group of guests came to the quiet courtyard.
Qi Fenwu is in the front, followed by three middle-aged men in brown gowns.
"Taoist Wei came to Jingyang and caused quite a stir. Qi reported to the superior officer and felt that it would be better for the Taoist to go to the Xuansha Gang. Otherwise, the Taoist would be mixed in with the lay people and would need to be reported at all levels, which would make the matter bigger and bigger." Qi Fenwu greeted.
The day after tomorrow, three members of the Xuansha Gang invited Xue Tong to go up the mountain and leave the realm of the common people.
The fact that the three highest-level ones are not strong in the Yuan Qi Xuan Realm in the late post-natal period can be seen clearly.
…
Eighty miles northeast of the city is Mufeng Mountain.
Jingyang City is close to the desert, hence the name of the Xuansha Gang. The leader of the gang, You Mingshu, will succeed the day after tomorrow.
The Xuansha Gang is small, only 40% of the Yunxiao Sect.
"Wei was deeply honored to be invited by Gang Leader You to visit Mufeng Mountain," Xue Tong said.
He has been involved in Taoism for many years, and he speaks politely to guests.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you are so polite. Xuansha is a small group. People in Jingyang Mansion said that a master like Taoist Master has come to the city. To be honest, You hesitated for a while, considering the relationship with Jingyang Mansion, and finally asked Taoist Master Please come."
"If you think about it carefully, the Xuansha Gang is in trouble and is at a loss. Maybe the appearance of Daoist Master Wei is God's help." You Mingshu said.
"Oh, what's wrong with the Xuansha Gang?"
"It's a long story. The Xuansha Gang is a medium-sized gang under the Zhenyuan Palace. A year ago, the Zhenyuan Palace told us that the palace master's birthday was coming soon. Each gang must prepare exquisite gifts, suggesting that this gang should hand over a piece of "Fire Cloud Sand Crystal" ".
"Fire cloud sand crystals are the best materials for making magic weapons. The output of the Flame Desert is the most abundant. There are often quicksand pythons, fire-eating ants, and even innate sand dragons near the sand crystals. Our gang is not strong enough to mine the crystals. It has been delayed for half a year and there is no hope of completion. ." You Mingshu sighed and said.
"Please ask Mr. Wei to complete what you want from Gang Leader. How much benefit will you get after it is completed?"
You Mingshu's eyes lit up and he saw hope, "With two hundred thousand spirit stones, Mufeng Mountain will set aside a pure place for the Taoist priest to practice."
"Wei is willing to give it a try, but there are two things about the teleportation device and the warriors from outside the mainland. Please help me inquire about it."
"Please pass the news about Wei to the Xuansha Gang in Jingyang City to the gang leader. Maybe my companions will hear about it and come to join me," Xue Tong said.
…
Xue Tong stayed in Mufeng Mountain for two years and learned about the habits of fire cloud sand crystals and common collecting places.
The fire cloud sand crystal changes position with the quicksand. To find the sand crystal, you need to observe continuously, remember the shape of thousands of sand dunes and the trend of the quicksand, and track the quicksand that moves quickly and has an extremely long distance. If the sand surface is at noon, A dense red light rises, and its fire clouds and sand crystals can be expected!
In the scorching flame desert, completing this task is not easy. The reason why Xue Tong agreed to travel to Xu was to explore whether there was a teleportation device in the desert, and to integrate into the Yuanqi Xuanjie and get more information.
He was fully prepared and returned to the desert with two extra storage bags of water.
Xue Tong went more than a thousand miles deep and observed the continuous sand dunes in the area informed by Xuansha Sect. He spent several hours per thousand square miles and changed again if there was no obvious abnormality.
Obtaining the Fire Cloud Sand Crystal almost depends on luck. He happened to encounter the red light and dug out the sand crystal underneath. Xue Tong's clumsy method was extremely energy-consuming and uneconomical.
He watched it from the air for a long time and was very impressed. One day one month later, as soon as Xue Tongfu landed, the sand dune in the distance collapsed, and a large earthworm-like insect monster emerged.
The huge mouth is like a well, with two small eyes squeezed into the corners, a red body several feet long, and light-colored hard short hair.
"Sandworm!"
The sandworm opened its mouth and sprayed out, and the sand rolled, mixed with the smell of fishy rot. Xue Tong had no problem dealing with the acquired monsters, he nimbly avoided it, rubbed his palms, and tried the newly refined method "Extreme Cold Technique"
One of the proud tricks of Yu Yuan, the leader of the Yulong Gang.
The white snow and ice immediately enveloped the sandworm.
How could the creatures in the polar regions withstand such severe cold? Sandworms plunged into the sand to avoid it, bone puppets pierced the sand with sharp arrows, and bright red blood gushed out from the sand.
Xue Tong's Lingque sword was thrust straight into the place where the insect's head disappeared. The whole sword was submerged, and the half of the insect left on the sand suddenly stopped squirming.
The diamond arrow pierced the insect's head, Xue Tong added another sword, and the demonic insect was immediately killed.
The bone puppet pinched the tail of the insect, dragged out the sandworm, and retrieved the diamond arrow.
Xue Tong packed up the insect corpses and suddenly noticed something strange. A ship in the sky quickly approached, a warrior of unknown origin!
The three men, whose clothes are different from those of the Xuansha Gang, have arrogant looks and stern eyes.
Xue Tong secretly shouted that something was wrong. The three of them didn't seem to be passing by. They might have come here specially.
"Are you Wei Wuyang from Wanyu?" asked the thin man with a goatee in the middle.
"Well, a few of them are..."
"Zhenyuan Palace would like to invite you to go and ask how many people came from Wanyu, how they are, and where they are now."
"There is no need to go to Zhenyuan Palace. Wanyu has teleported eight people. We have no other purpose in coming. We just want to return as soon as possible. If Zhenyuan Palace is willing to provide clues to the teleportation device, we would be very grateful."
Xue Tong said, his thoughts turning quickly, "Zhenyuan Palace is very likely to be unfavorable. Is it appropriate to oppose it? After all, we have few people."
"Let's go, you'll know when you go."
"Since there is no other information from fellow Taoist, Wei will take his leave and find the transmission on his own." Xue Tong refused.
"Brother Wu, why bother talking nonsense with this kind of person? Just catch him!" said the black-faced man with a goatee.
After saying that, he slapped it with a palm.
Xue Tong's figure flashed and was already seven or eight feet away.
"escape!"
The three people who came were top-notch masters from Zhenyuan Palace. After finding out the details of Xue Tong, Zhenyuan Palace sent two top masters and one Hou Dacheng to capture him and return to the mountain.
From the perspective of Zhenyuan Palace, there are likely to be more and more warriors in Wanyu, which is a major threat to Yuan Qi. Catching one by one will increase the bargaining chips for future responses.
It would be unwise to directly confront Yuan Qi's large sect. Xue Tong gave up killing and ran away if he could.
His step created wind, and the three people from Zhenyuan Palace chased him two miles away, already falling behind by a hundred feet.
Xue Tong's Jue Shadow Step was faster than a silver needle, and he disappeared from the sight of Wu Zhengyuan and the others not long after.
…
Xue Tong changed his flying boat and continued to run for more than half an hour. He saw several mounds in front of him, dotted with poplars and willows, as if he had arrived at a small village on the edge of the desert.
