The news that the man in black left Damian Lake was soon known to Beihuang Hou.
Beihuang Hou practices in the training room every night. He is already at the peak of the Xuan Realm, and the accumulation of true energy is no longer necessary for this realm. Only by feeling and understanding the connection between your own soul and heaven and earth can you make a breakthrough in the realm and get one step closer to the great road.
When he first arrived in Beihuang, he was often at a loss at night. He didn't know how to cultivate his mind. He felt hesitant because of worldly things and didn't know how to take the future.
But it was different now. His mood was getting calmer and calmer. He no longer complained about others, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to various chores. He wants to understand the entanglements between various forces in the world. He wants to know the bottom line of Tianfu and when he can return to the Demon Kingdom.
All this made him feel happy and at ease, there was no confusion in his heart, and the mental obstacles no longer existed. Although he had not practiced for a long time, his cultivation level increased instead of decreasing, and he regained the strength he had when he was most energetic in the past. Perhaps Stronger than then.
If you give him a certain amount of time, he will become a Moon-watching master in just a few years and join the ranks of real masters in this world.
A short, round middle-aged man came to Beihuang Hou's practice room and interrupted his thoughts.
This man's name was Gui Sheng, and like Ying Bai, he had been Beihuang Hou's bodyguard when he was an infant. The two of them were die-hard loyalists to their mother, and they were Beihuang Hou's most trusted people. During this time, no one else dared to disturb, and only the two of them could come in.
"Master Hou, someone came to report just now. The rats left in Tianfu were killed and scattered. Only one escaped. The people we arranged did not take action."
"Oh? Master Yao really has a good eye, and the disciples she chooses are really capable." Beihuang Hou admired, "Uncle Sheng, this kind of news is not worth coming to tell me in the middle of the night. Is there anything else?"
"The Marquis is smart. Liu Zong, the captain of Tianfu, has camped thirty miles outside the city. He hasn't moved for a day. The rats that ran out also went in that direction."
Beihuang Hou was stunned: "Do they still want to stay? This is not possible. We cannot let them stay there, and we must not let them return to the city and put some pressure on them to force them to leave."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Gui Sheng bowed and left.
The Marquis of Beihuang was thinking about that old immortal guy from the Demon Kingdom and the chaos in the Heavenly Mansion, and his thoughts slowly returned to his eyes.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so just sacrifice it."
…
Thirty miles outside the city, several camps stood on a hillside. Next to a bonfire, two soldiers were keeping vigil.
Suddenly, there was a soft rustling sound at the foot of the mountain, and two soldiers immediately went over to investigate. As soon as the man in black showed his figure, he was restrained by two soldiers one after another, with the blade pointed at his throat. The soldiers did not speak, and the man in black did not dare to move.
In the tent, Liu Zong was awakened by someone, came outside the tent, looked at the man in black in front of him, his face was gloomy, and he spoke after a while.
"You failed? Why are you the only one and where are the others?"
Needless to say, the man in black said it all. His clothes were in tatters, and there was still blood stains on his body. He looked like a bereaved dog.
"Only...I'm the only one left."
"What?!" Liu Zong was shocked. It was impossible for a small Foundation Establishment monk to beat these five well-trained killers like this.
"Does she have help?"
The man in black did not dare to say that the five of them were defeated by two children, so he just nodded.
When Liu Zong got the affirmative answer, he was so confused that he had long forgotten to complain about these losers for not notifying him before taking action. I thought that if they weren't greedy for merit, I might not be in a good situation now.
"Liu Lieutenant, I got a very important news. The fugitive is going to Xingyue Pool to change her appearance. By then we will no longer be able to catch her."
Liu Zong was stunned. Is this person crazy? Now that outsiders are involved, it is almost impossible to capture the fugitive. If not, his life may be in danger. How could he continue to wade through the muddy water at this time?
The man in black saw Liu Zong frowning and said quickly: "Sir, it doesn't matter if we fail in the pursuit. If there is no trace of the fugitive, or even the ability to find him in the future, the master will not let us go. "
When Liu Zong heard this, his body trembled violently. He mobilized his troops privately, which was equivalent to handing over the handle just to hug the second master's lap. If it failed, it would be okay, but at worst, the journey would be in vain. , if things get messed up and get out of hand, I'm afraid I will lose my life. If he didn't go back to Da Mian Lake to fight for his life and left directly, it would mean that the affairs in the city had nothing to do with him, but that he was just unlucky in doing things, and he might be able to survive.
In such a dilemma, Liu Zong was hesitating when he suddenly noticed some commotion among the soldiers. It turned out that at the foot of the mountain, there was a group of cavalry, boldly circling the hill. They were surveying the terrain. Liu Zong was shocked. He understood that this was a precursor to the army's attack. I am afraid that the Marquis of Beihuang saw that he would not leave and sent troops to deter him. If he did not leave, he might have to stay forever.
Liu Zong immediately ordered the camp to be withdrawn and evacuated overnight.
"Brother, you have seen now that Da Mian Hu is very disgusted with us camping here. If we don't leave, I'm afraid they will attack us."
"These are all soldiers from Tianfu, how dare they?" The man in black couldn't believe it.
"You and I know in our hearts that it doesn't matter if they take action. If we really pursue the case, Tianfu will want to kill generals like me who act privately more than they do."
"Brother, why don't we go back to the city first? Let's pretend to leave and go find help. Afterwards, I will change into civilian clothes and hide my identity and join you in the city."
How can you believe the man in black? You are clearly trying to escape.
Seeing that the man in black was doubtful, Liu Zong said, "I'm riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. If things don't work out and the second master takes the blame, my career in this life will basically be ruined. Brother, you still don't believe me?"
"Li Zi, take off your armor and follow this brother to the city to assist him."
"After entering the city, if you can't do anything, you can go to Bao's house and try to find Mr. Baoying. At the banquet, he was very interested in me. He obviously wants to gain access to Tianfu. You will definitely be there if you go there. Honorable guest, he will definitely protect your life.”
A young soldier took off his armor and followed the man in black back to the city.
But Liu Zong ran away with his people. If he couldn't be promoted, he couldn't be promoted. Life was the most important thing. This matter ended here. He, Liu Zong, was driven away by the Marquis of Beihuang and went back directly. The other things had nothing to do with him. He thought he was just a loser.
…
This night was very lively. Wu Sikou looked at the information sent and sighed.
"What's going on? What does he think of the pass of my Da Mian Lake? He comes and leaves whenever he wants. Are all the people in Tianfu so unruly now?"
"Judge, take a few people with you, teach them a lesson, and be more ruthless. People without status will die as soon as they die."
…
You Ziji noticed that the man in black had escaped and hurriedly chased after him. Unfortunately, unlike searching for the Demon King in the cave, the streets were empty and the blowing technique was like finding a needle in a haystack and did not bring any useful information.
The five command flags were no longer controlled by anyone and were easily pulled down by Xiaohu.
The two returned to the restaurant and buried the body of the fat shopkeeper first.
After the battle, the hall was in a mess. Xiaohu looked worried and didn't speak. You Ziji was busy picking up the debris in the house and dug out the bodies of the men in black. He took all four bodies to the backyard and buried them. After cleaning them up, he returned to the main hall.
When You Ziji discovered the man in black, the fat shopkeeper had just been killed. There must have been communication between them. It was very possible that the man in black silenced him after getting some information.
I'm afraid something will happen when they go to Xingyue Pond the day after tomorrow. The enemy should already know the purpose of the two of them, and will definitely prepare a trap for the two of them to dive into. What awaits them will be the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
"You'd better not go to Xingyue Pond."
Xiaohu suddenly spoke, and Youziji put down what he was doing, "Why?"
"You just want to find friends. If you can't do it this month, you can do it next month. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so why go and die now."
"What about you? Why do you have to go?"
"Me? Those killers are here for me. There is no time. The day after tomorrow is already the last chance. I always have to give it a try."
"I have hurt you today, can I continue to put you in danger?"
"I won't hide it from you. When I enter the Xingyue Pool, I will use the power of the stars to change my appearance and meridians. From now on, no one will know me anymore. I will leave here to avenge my family. So I said before, you don't have to Know who I am.”
Xiaohu figured out her plan, and she chose to trust You Ziji. After what happened today, they should be considered friends of life and death.
Of course You Ziji will not let her down, "In this case, I have to help you. We are friends."
"Even if I don't know your name."
Xiaohu was very happy, but before Youziji replied, her traumatized and sensitive heart was uneasy. Although the future is uncertain, having a good friend by your side makes the trip worthwhile.
"My previous name was a shackles to me. It doesn't matter if you don't know. I will tell you when I have a new identity."
“Let’s wait until we get through this difficult time before we talk about it.”
You Ziji pondered for a moment and said, "We can't continue to live in this restaurant. How many people can you influence with your illusion skills?"
"If the environment permits, this hall should be about the same." Xiaohu pointed around.
"That's enough. Tomorrow we will put on a show to make outsiders think that the big bug is still alive. We will leave here and hide. After the Xingyue Pool is opened, we will go in with the big bug's seal."
"The enemies can't find us even if they search here, so we only have one day to prepare."
"Come on, let's decorate this place so that the monsters don't find out tomorrow."
Ever since the big change happened in her family, no one has really communicated with Xiaohu. She hasn't been this relaxed for a long time. It's good to have someone to help with ideas. Anyway, things won't get worse again.
As long as you enter the Xingyue Pool, everything will get better.
…
Early the next morning, the little fox dressed up as a big insect and released all the monsters in the woodshed.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Where are the two evil stars?"
"..."
When all the sounds gradually stopped, Xiaohu controlled his voice and said: "Those two guys were fugitives. Yesterday, people from the government came to investigate and drove them away and saved me."
"It's okay now. Don't be lazy one by one! Clean up all the things that were broken yesterday. Don't affect my ability to open a shop and make money."
"I will go into seclusion in the next few days to grow my hands. If you have nothing to do, please don't disturb me."
After speaking, he left in the sad eyes of all the monsters. The monsters lamented in their hearts that they might as well be locked up, at least they wouldn't have to work.
As expected, there were no monsters in the hall who noticed anything strange.
