Liu Qingyang said Liu Hanxing suddenly left without saying goodbye. This made everyone in the Jiulong Mansion in the carriage fall into deep thought.
Chen Yutian pondered for a moment and asked: "Qingyang, do you remember when your father left without saying goodbye?"
Liu Qingyang nodded and said: "I remember. It was the night you left Daliangshan. My brother and I found out that dad was missing the next day."
Hearing this, Chen Yutian was slightly silent.
"The thing we were most worried about finally happened."
Xuan Xi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
Chen Yutian said: "Ever since I learned that we were being followed by the Futian Sect all the way west, I have been worried about that."
Gongsun's expression moved slightly and he said: "You mean... Senior King Tu is very likely to be captured by the Futian Sect?"
Chen Yutian added: "It may also be the blade."
Everyone was silent.
Yun Sigh looked like "I don't understand what you are talking about."
When Liu Qingyang heard that her father had been taken away again, she asked anxiously: "Is daddy in any danger?"
Chen Yutian shook his head and said: "No. They captured the senior probably to find the exact location of the Wind and Rain Holy Land. It will not be detrimental to him."
"But……"
Wu Dong's Tianmu was full of doubts, "What does looking for the Holy Land of Wind and Rain have to do with Uncle Liu? He is not a member of the Wind Clan, and he does not have the key."
"perhaps……"
Bai Fan touched his chin slightly and said, "They want to find the answer from the ancient maps accumulated by the Tuwang family for generations."
"You mean those ancient atlases? Dad did take them away." Liu Qingyang said.
Chen Yutian pondered for a moment and said: "No matter why they took the seniors away, there shouldn't be any danger in the short term. Qingyang, just follow us during this period, so that we can be with each other if anything happens." Take care of.”
Liu Qingyang nodded.
At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped.
Taigongfu Yamen is close at hand.
…
…
To the east of the barbarian king's capital, there is Taihu City.
This city is not big, but its geographical location is particularly important. It is located at the junction of the Western Region and the Central Plains. It is a gateway from the Western Region to the Central Plains.
To the east of Taihu City is a grassland. The grass is lush all year round, making it a favorite grazing place for shepherds.
On this day, strong winds swept across the grassland, and then, a group of people suddenly appeared in the grassland.
The leader is a woman wearing a black dress. She wears a veil to cover her appearance, but she cannot hide the aura of a superior person that exudes from her bones.
"Holy girl, not far ahead is Taihu City. The message from the Fourth Ancestor said that all the men and horses performing tasks within the church are concentrated in the city."
A spy came quickly to report.
"Taihu City? The Fourth Ancestor and the others are actually in such a remote place?" Ling Ruoyin frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what the Fourth Ancestor and the others were doing.
After all, judging from the intelligence received so far, it is clear that the troops of Jiulong Mansion are still near the royal capital.
"Perhaps the fourth ancestor has his own considerations." The first ancestor, still looking like a child, walked over and said.
Ling Ruoyin nodded slightly and said to the spies: "Go ahead and continue on your way and get to Taihu City as soon as possible."
"Yes!" The spy immediately retreated.
Afterwards, a large group of Futian Sect masters used Qinggong again and rushed towards Taihu City.
Not long after they left, two figures appeared silently.
One of them looked at the Futian Sect and others who had disappeared in front of them, and asked: "Let me tell you, are you mistaken? If you follow these little guys, you can really find traces of Emperor Huo Xie?"
The other person nodded with certainty and said: "Of course. After many verifications during this period, and the coincidence of the timing of his appearance, I am absolutely sure that Emperor Huo Xie was the one sent by the Futian Sect outside at that time. One of the Nine Ancestors. This time they go to war to gather the barbarians, and there will definitely be an ancestor-level master coming, and maybe they can meet that guy."
"Speaking of ancestor-level masters, that old guy who I haven't seen for so many years has actually turned into that?" The man before sighed with a slightly complicated tone.
"The internal strength he cultivated back then was inherently flawed, so it's not surprising that he turned into what he is now. But I didn't expect that he was also the ancestor of the Futian Sect, but I don't know where he ranked. His title of King Killer back then was... Very loud.”
"It shouldn't be low. Back then, his strength was considered top-notch in the martial arts world. After so many years, he must have improved. Speaking of which, I really want to fight this old guy again."
At this point, the speaker's tone suddenly became excited.
The other person shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "You'd better put away your idea. I heard that Old Ghost Bing and the others are also in the Barbarian country now. I'm afraid something big is going to happen in this Barbarian country."
"Hehe... More than ten strong men from the Holy Realm have gathered at once. It won't be strange if something happens, right?"
Looking at his companion's expression of fear that the world would be in chaos, the person who spoke before sighed, then took steps and disappeared on the grassland again.
The other person quickly followed.
Beside Woniu Mountain, there is Wanniu Town. This is a small town close to a barren mountain. There is only one inn in the town, called Woniu Inn.
Woniu Inn is the only place to stay in the entire town. Most people passing through this town must choose this place if they want to stop and rest.
But in recent days, Woniu Inn seems to have been under martial law. There are some heavily armed people standing at the door of the inn all day long. No one is allowed to approach, and no passers-by are allowed to stop and rest.
Even the innkeeper and the waiters were kicked out.
Some people in the town felt strange. After asking, they found out that the entire inn had been booked. The person who made the move was extremely generous. He directly paid the innkeeper a piece of gold and threatened to rent the inn for a month.
The innkeeper was naturally very happy.
Woniu Town is just a small town. As the only inn in the town, although Woniu Inn is the first choice for travelers, not many people come to stay in it in a month. So the monthly income is not high.
But the person who guaranteed it was only for one month, but he paid an ingot of gold. This money is more than enough to buy his entire store, let alone one month? The innkeeper smiled so brightly that his face blossomed. Not to mention the other party's purpose of renting his own inn.
In Woniu Inn, Xuanwu looked respectfully at the man and woman sitting in front of him.
"My subordinates, Four Elephants Xuanwu, have met the leader and the mother of Sword Demon." Xuanwu bowed respectfully to the two of them.
The Blade leader looked like he was only in his thirties. But his whole body exuded a kind of indifference and majesty that kept strangers away. He looked at Xuanwu, nodded slightly, and asked, "How is the situation here?"
Xuanwu said: "According to the report, Jiulong Mansion is still in the royal capital, and the Futian Sect's large forces are gathered in Taihu City on the border. There is no change on either side."
The leader of the Blade nodded slightly and said: "I understand. Pay close attention to the intelligence of both of them. If there is any movement, report it immediately."
"Yes." Xuanwu responded, then paused, and with a hint of doubt, asked the leader of the blade, "Chief, there is something unclear about this subordinate."
"But you don't understand my last order?" the Blade leader asked bluntly.
Xuanwu was slightly startled.
Before, not long after Xuanwu captured Greedy Wolf, a secret order came from within Blade, asking them to stay put for the time being, not to take any action, and just wait for the next order.
Xuanwu felt strange at the time. Logically speaking, at this most critical moment, it is definitely not possible to simply stand still and allow the other two parties to take action. However, the leader of the blade issued such an order with no follow-up at all, which puzzled Xuanwu and others.
What surprised them even more was that they did not wait for the second order, but directly waited for the arrival of the Blade Leader and the Mother of Blade Demons.
The Blade leader said: "That order was not actually given by me."
Xuanwu was slightly startled. As the direct leader of the Blade organization, if the order was not given by him, then who would it be? Could it be...
The leader of the blade nodded and said: "You guessed it right, it was the Holy Lord who ordered it."
"Holy Lord?!" Xuanwu was shocked! Is it really him? Among the entire blade, apart from this one, there is probably no one who can order the leader.
The leader of the blade added: "The Holy Lord's order this time is very strange, and I can't figure out why. At least, I can't figure it out until the next order is issued."
…
…
Everyone in Jiulong Mansion walked out of Taigong Mansion.
Just now, both the liar and the coachman received their due punishment.
Liu Qingyang finally felt angry after witnessing the two being punished. She looked at the carriage outside the Taigong Mansion Yamen and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Dongtian smiled and said, "Did you vent your anger?"
Liu Qingyang was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Dongtian. Although she didn't show it before, she naturally felt uncomfortable being deceived for no apparent reason.
Wu Dongtian also saw this clearly.
Liu Qingyang's pretty face turned slightly red and she looked at Wu Dongtian.
Everyone in Jiulong Mansion came out one after another, looked at Liu Qingyang, and then Ling Xiaowu suggested: "Now that this matter has been settled, we should get down to business."
Everyone nodded, and Lang Yue also agreed: "Yes, yes, let's do business. My sisters are still waiting for the antidote to save their lives."
Chen Yutian walked out of the door of the government office. When he heard everyone talking, he nodded and said: "Of course we have to do the business, but before we do the business, we still have a few small things that need to be dealt with."
Lang Yue asked strangely: "Oh? What's going on?"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Chen Yutian smiling slightly, showing a rather playful smile, and staring at her intently.
Lang Yue was very surprised. She lowered her head and looked at herself, confused.
Gongsun and others were a little confused at first and looked at Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian winked at everyone, looked at the carriage embroidered with the wolf clan emblem parked at the gate of Taigong Mansion, and then looked at Lang Yue.
Gongsun understood immediately.
The others looked at the carriage and gradually understood what he meant.
But Lang Yue didn't see all of this. When she looked up, she saw that almost everyone was looking at her. She suddenly became more confused and even a little scared.
"What happened?"
Everyone winked at her and asked her to look at their clothes and carriage.
However, Lang Yue didn't understand what everyone meant. He just watched everyone blinking, so he didn't understand even more.
"Talk like a human being." Lang Yue said slightly angrily.
Chen Yutian smiled helplessly, looked her up and down, and said, "Didn't you find something wrong with your clothes?"
Lang Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her clothes.
Because she was in a hurry to come out, she was still wearing the barbarian princess dress she had worn in the hall before. This dress is what she often wears in the palace. It is decent and elegant, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Lang Yue looked at it again and again, but found nothing wrong with her clothes, so she looked up at Chen Yutian again.
Xuan Xi held her forehead slightly and said: "My Ninth Princess, you wear such a set of clothes and ride in such a carriage. No matter where you go, no one knows that you are the princess of the barbarian country. How can we show off like this?" Why are you keeping a low profile?"
Only then did Lang Yue understand. But then she ran into trouble.
Because she was in a hurry to come out, she did not bring casual clothes with her. Even if she wanted to change out of this dress at this moment, it was impossible.
"The carriage is okay, but I didn't bring any clothes to change into."
Xuan Xi said: "This is easy to handle."
As she said that, she looked at Liu Qingyang, the only one among the people who was carrying a bundle, and said: "Qingyang, there should be a change of clothes in your bundle. Among us, you and the Ninth Princess are not much different in stature. Your clothes are hers." It should be wearable."
Liu Qingyang nodded, took out a set of coarse cloth clothes from the bag and gave them to Lang Yue to change into.
At this point, Lang Yue didn't care to dislike the clothes. She got into the carriage and changed out of her clothes. She left the carriage and the barbarian dress at Taigong Yamen. She wore Liu Qingyang's coarse cloth dress and sat in the accompanying carriage of Jiulong Mansion. , led everyone to rush to the ghost lake.
An hour later, three carriages stopped on the shore of Ghost Lake.
When Chen Yutian and others got off the carriage, they saw a huge lake on the barren land in front of them. The lake was huge and as flat as a mirror. People standing by the lake could clearly see their own reflection.
Even if you look carefully, you can still see clearly the scene at the bottom of the lake.
Such a scene would be extremely common in water towns in the southern part of the Central Plains.
But now that they saw such a lake in the northwest wilderness, everyone was really shocked.
Around the lake, there is a stone tower. Everyone stood under the stone tower and looked at the lake from a distance, marveling at it.
Lin Feifei frowned slightly and said with some uncertainty: "I seem to feel the fluctuation of the restriction..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Lang Yue looked at the sky, nodded slightly, and said, "It's almost time."
Everyone was confused and just when they were about to ask, they saw a sudden change on the lake in front of them.
The originally clear and calm lake water suddenly fluctuated violently and began to decrease rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It decreases so fast that it seems to evaporate out of thin air.
Everyone in Jiulong Mansion was stunned, looking at the lake that had lost half of its water in an instant, and they were all in a daze.
Even the Four Saints, who had lived for almost a hundred years, were slightly stunned.
Is this...what the hell? !
