Pingyun Sect is nearly a month away from Huayan Sect.
Xiao Zhan and his party hardly stopped for a moment, and rushed to Pingyun City, which was about 10,000 miles away from Pingyun Sect, as quickly as possible.
In order not to be suspected, Xiao Zhan and others deliberately made a large circle on the way to avoid people discovering that they were coming from the direction of Huayan Sect.
After all, the risk factor of this mission is extremely high. Any negligence or accident may lead to the death of Xiao Zhan and others.
Almost every major sect will build a city not far from the sect's headquarters.
This is because any sect has huge demands for various resources.
And these large sects also control a large amount of materials needed by other casual cultivators or people in the world.
Therefore, these cities are a trading place between the large sects and people in the world.
Pingyun City was established by Pingyun Sect more than 100,000 years ago.
After Xiao Zhan and others simply disguised themselves, they looked embarrassed, as if they had just escaped pursuit.
However, such things were too common, so even if Xiao Zhan and others were covered in blood and weak, they did not attract anyone's attention.
After entering the city, Xiao Zhan and others came to an inn, ordered a large table of food and liquor, and then started talking quietly.
"Those damn scum of the Huayan Sect!"
Sun Hu's face was full of anger, and the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to be solidified:
"Just watch, when I get the chance, I will lead you to fight back. If the Huayan Sect doesn't pay the price, my surname will not be Sun!"
Sun Yiran looked around, suddenly her eyes turned red, and she choked with grievance:
"Brother, you must help me vent this anger!"
Sun Long snorted coldly at this time, with cold eyes:
"Since we escaped, we must take revenge severely!"
"The Pingyun Sect and the Huayan Sect have never been in contact with each other. If we give our belongings to the Pingyun Sect, we will definitely make the Huayan Sect pay a heavy price!"
Gao Yuan said expressionlessly at this time:
"If we can meet the higher-ups of Pingyun Sect, we might have a chance to hand over the things."
"But we still have to be cautious and think long term!"
"Otherwise, if we encounter Pingyun Sect disciples and they fight us indiscriminately, we might also lose our lives."
Everyone nodded.
Finished the meal and drank the wine.
Sun Hu spoke again:
"For safety's sake, we need a room together."
No one had any objections. After finding the waiter, they asked for a room.
After everyone entered the room, they immediately started practicing.
The waiter stood at the door and listened for a while, his eyes darting around.
A few hours later.
Xiao Zhan suddenly opened his eyes and gave everyone a look.
Everyone understood and pretended not to know anything.
And there was no movement outside the door.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
The waiter's voice sounded outside:
"Several guests, the adults of the Pingyun Sect are conducting a routine inspection."
Hearing the sound, Gao Yuan stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door a crack. Sure enough, he saw no less than twenty Pingyun Sect disciples standing behind Xiao Er.
Routine inspection?
Do routine inspections require so many people?
Gao Yuan opened the door, smiled and nodded:
"Hello fellow seniors from Pingyun Sect."
A man headed by Pingyun Zong was a strong man. He stood at the door and glanced into the room, and then said indifferently:
"Recently, a group of people stole and killed people in Pingyun City. We conduct routine inspections."
"Ten of you want a room. Why?"
The voice of this burly young man was full of oppression.
A flash of panic flashed across Gao Yuan's face, and he subconsciously looked at Sun Hu, who was getting up.
Sun Hu walked over with a smile, cupped his fists and said:
"Senior brother, we are all mountain seekers. We offended others and were hunted down here."
The young man from the Pingyun Sect frowned. He did feel that the aura of everyone was a little weak. He could tell from a glance that he had experienced a tragic battle.
He nodded and asked expressionlessly:
"Where are you from?"
Sun Hu said truthfully: "Manyue City."
"We often operate outside the Manyue Mountains."
Hearing this, the burly young man narrowed his eyes:
"The Manyue Mountains are not far from the Huayan Sect."
An imperceptible panic flashed through Sun Hu's eyes:
"Yes, disciples of the Huayan Sect often enter the Manyue Mountains."
The burly young man thought for a moment and continued to ask:
"What are your names?"
Sun Hu coughed:
"My name is Wang Hu."
"My name is Wang Long."
"..."
The burly young man nodded, "Okay, it's okay."
After saying that, he turned around and led people to the room next to him, and began to ask other guests staying in the hotel.
After a while, silence returned to the corridor outside the room.
Sun Long suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Okay, they're all gone."
Sun Hu looked at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan gave Sun Hu a look and told him that someone was eavesdropping outside the room.
Sun Hu then spoke:
"Could it be that we have aroused the suspicion of the disciples of the Pingyun Sect?"
"How about we leave Pingyun City first and then find other ways to hand over our belongings to the people of Pingyun Sect?"
"I think it's feasible. This way, we'll be safer."
"Our purpose is to take revenge on the Huayan Sect. It would be best if we can avoid contact with people from the Pingyun Sect."
Everyone nodded.
"Sun Hu, Sun Long, I think we have to get this done as soon as possible, otherwise the nights will be long and we will have many dreams!"
"Gao Yuan is right. Well, we will leave after dawn. If we leave now, it will arouse suspicion."
After saying this, everyone fell silent and fell into practice again.
Outside the room, the burly young man leading the Pingyun Sect felt the energy fluctuations coming from the room and immediately walked downstairs quietly.
First floor.
He looked at the people he brought and ordered softly:
"Scatter around and keep an eye on these people. Don't let them leave your sight!"
Everyone nodded.
Kuaiwu Qing then took out the jade token of communication:
"Sun Hu, Sun Long, Gao Yuan, I will report this matter now."
A moment later, on a mountain peak deep within the Pingyun Sect's residence, in the Pingyun Hall.
A skinny old man flew down and cupped his fists at a middle-aged man in black robe who had his back turned to him:
"metropolitan!"
Tuobayue, the leader of Pingyun Sect, asked in a deep voice:
"What do you want from me now?"
The elder chuckled:
"There are ten disciples of Huayan Sect who are in Pingyun City at this time."
Tuobayue frowned slightly:
"What kind of trouble can ten ordinary disciples cause? It's not worth mentioning at all."
The elder nodded:
"But the key point is that they were chased by people from the Huayan Sect and fled to Pingyun City."
"And they seem to have something very important on them, and they are thinking of giving it to us to take revenge on the Huayan Sect."
Tuobayue frowned deeper:
"What important thing can ten ordinary disciples master?"
s things? "
"Could it be a trick used by the Huayan Sect to rescue Liu Ruyan?"
The elder shook his head:
"I think it's unlikely."
"With ten disciples, even if they join our Pingyun Sect, they won't have the strength to save people."
"Is the other party's identity true?" Tuobayue asked in a deep voice.
The elder nodded:
"I have contacted a disciple hidden in Huayan Sect."
"According to what he said, Huayan Sect does have several outer disciples, and their names and numbers match."
"Those ten people were all Xunshan people before. Not long after they joined the Huayan Sect, they were bullied by the descendants of an elder because they had no background."
"Two of the ten women were bullied."
"So they killed the elder's grandson and then escaped from the Huayan Sect, and they are indeed being hunted."
Tuobayue was pacing in place, suddenly stopped and asked:
"Xunshanren, how did you join the Huayan Sect?"
The elder chuckled:
"They found a ruins in the Manyue Mountains, found an ancient tomb ruins inside, and found some advanced exercises inside. After dedicating them to the Huayan Sect, they got the opportunity to join the Huayan Sect."
"I have also contacted our disciples who are still training in the Manyue Mountains, and we have indeed found the ruins of the ancient tomb."
"So I think this is probably true."
"The only thing unclear now is what those ten people have in their hands, so much so that they feel that as long as they give that thing to our Pingyun Sect, they can cause heavy damage to the Huayan Sect."
"Besides, as long as they are not brought into our Pingyun Sect, there will be no impact."
"Our disciples are watching. The ten people are very weak, but they are still alert. It seems that they will leave Pingyun City after dawn."
Tuobayue nodded lightly:
"Go there yourself and arrest those ten people."
"After you get what they have, kill them."
The elder responded with a smile, then turned around and disappeared into the night.
Early morning.
In the inn room where Xiao Zhan and others stayed.
Everyone suddenly stood up, quietly rolled out the windows, and rushed towards the exit of Pingyun City as quickly as possible.
The Pingyun Sect disciples who had been observing secretly reported the news immediately.
Half an hour later, Xiao Zhan and others had arrived in a dense forest hundreds of miles outside the city.
Xiao Zhan, who had been silent and without any sense of presence, suddenly spoke up and reminded:
"A strong man is coming, don't panic!"
The next moment, a strong wind blew by, and a skinny old man landed less than ten meters in front of everyone.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Sun Hu took several steps back and looked at the old man with vigilance.
"senior!"
Sun Hu shouted nervously:
"We are not enemies!"
This skinny elder from the Pingyun Sect was named Qin Wang.
Qin Wang had a smile on his old face:
"Where do you want to go?"
Sun Hu cupped his fists at Qin Wang:
"Senior, is he an elder of Pingyun Sect?"
Qin Wang smiled and nodded:
"yes."
"I heard that you have something to give to our Pingyun Sect?"
"Take it out. If it is really a good thing, I will give you enough compensation."
Sun Hu exhaled a thick breath:
"How can senior ensure our safety?"
Qin Wang chuckled:
"Is it possible that I, the dignified elder of the Pingyun Sect, would still deceive you?"
"Hand over your things and I won't embarrass you. Maybe... I will even give you a chance to join.
What about Pingyun Sect? "
Hearing this, Sun Hu looked overjoyed, "Is this true?"
Sun Long and others' eyes also shone.
"Brother, Huayan Sect can no longer go back. Joining Pingyun Sect is our best choice!"
There was a flash of hesitation in Sun Hu's eyes.
Gao Yuan took a step forward at this time, cupped his fists at Qin Wang and said:
"Elder, forgive me, we are too weak, so we naturally have to ensure our own safety."
"To be honest with what the elder said, we didn't bring anything with us."
"As long as the elders swear an oath in the name of Pangu and Nuwa, we will take you to get the things."
A chill flashed in Qin Wang's eyes.
I swear in the name of the great gods Pangu and Nuwa that if I violate it, I will not be tolerated by the chaotic world and will end up dead.
But... Qin Wang smiled:
"Okay, I swear in the name of the God of Creation Pangu and the God of Creation Nuwa, I will never make things difficult for you."
Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Sun Hu.
Just as Sun Hu was about to speak, Xiao Zhan suddenly said nervously:
"Brother, let's split up."
Sun Hu nodded when he heard this, "The second brother, Gao Yuan, and Jia Ming, the four of us will take the elder to get the things."
"The others...go to the old place and wait for us."
Sun Long, Gao Yuan and Xiao Zhan all nodded.
When Qin Wang saw this, the smile on his face became even bigger.
After a while, Sun Hu, Sun Long, Gao Yuan and Xiao Zhan flew out in a certain direction with Qin Wang.
Sun Yiran and the remaining people looked at each other, lowered their voices and said:
"Come on, let's go to the old place and wait for brother and the others!"
But in the next moment, nearly twenty Pingyun Sect disciples rushed over from all directions and surrounded several people.
The expressions of Sun Yiran and others changed.
The burly young man in the lead waved his hand, and Sun Yiran and the others were controlled.
"Take them back to Pingyun City first and wait until Elder Qin comes back."
