Cheng Yunliang took the order and left Wuji Peak, and immediately sent out several letters of the sword to convey Xiao Tianxiong's message to his junior brothers, and at the same time, he flew out of the mountain with his sword.
But as soon as he left Wuji Peak, he discovered that there was a silver sword light following him.
But Lan Yunxin, who also learned about Bu Xiaotian's accident, caught up.
In fact, when he saw Lan Yunxin chasing after him, Cheng Yunliang already had a guess in his mind, but he still stopped his sword light, turned to look at Lan Yunxin, and asked:
"Junior Sister Lan, where are you going?"
Seeing Cheng Yunliang's question, Lan Yunxin didn't see anything strange on her face, nor did she mean to conceal her intentions at all, so she replied:
"Go to the Black Flame Palace."
Cheng Yunliang was not surprised at all when receiving Lan Yunxin's answer. He just nodded and did not ask her why she wanted to go to the Black Flame Palace.
Then the two of them walked together, heading west.
Lan Yunxin's temperament is relatively cold, and the two of them hardly talked except for necessary exchanges along the way. Even after the round with several other people from Zileifeng, they only talked to Yun Ying so much more than the others. A few words.
When a few people were discussing the matter of going to the Black Flame Palace, she just listened quietly on the sidelines, barely interrupting.
In fact, they have been here for two days. They have been exploring the periphery of the volcano group and have found out the general distribution of the demons in the Black Flame Palace here. They are going to sneak into the cave tonight, but they don't want to bump into Bu Xiaotian who is also sneaking in. .
Although they had received news that Bu Xiaotian was safe and sound, everyone still decided to pay a visit to the Black Flame Palace.
After all, come here.
When they learned that the person on the mountain was most likely Bu Xiaotian, several people couldn't help but feel happy. Even Lan Yunxin, who rarely showed his emotions, looked slightly relaxed.
But when they thought that Bu Xiaotian was hiding alone in the mountain at this time, several people couldn't help but feel a little worried. However, they were afraid of causing the Black Flame Palace to search the mountain, so they didn't dare to act rashly. They could only pay close attention to the movements on the mountain from a distance.
At this time, outside the cave.
After Cheng Yunliang left with Chu Yungong and Li Yunjian, perhaps because he was afraid of being ambushed, the people from the Black Flame Palace did not pursue them rashly.
The two people who had taken action before landed at the entrance of the cave, and one of them ordered the people around him:
"Search the area carefully. If there is anything unusual, call the police immediately!"
"Yes, Second Elder!"
The men in black around them bowed to accept the order, then spread out to search in the mountains.
Bu Xiaotian lay motionless on the spot, and with the help of the magic power of Qingyun Robe, he seemed to have turned into an ordinary rock. Even if someone passed by him, they would not be able to feel the slightest breath of him.
The search by everyone in the Black Flame Palace continued until midnight, but except for a few corpses, there was no valuable discovery at all.
Finding no results, most of the people returned to the cave one after another, while the rest stayed on the mountain to guard.
Bu Xiaotian waited until everyone's search had stopped, and waited at the same spot for a long time. After finding no opportunity to sneak in, he quietly retreated.
Even though the guards on the mountain are now several times tighter than before, Bu Xiaotian's actions still did not alert anyone.
Not long after, Bu Xiaotian returned to the mountain col where he and Mo Li stayed before.
It was already late at night, and with the faint light of the stars and moon, Bu Xiaotian could see Mo Li waiting in the mountain col at a glance.
Once here, there was no need to hide his whereabouts anymore. Bu Xiaotian's footsteps immediately alerted Mo Li, who was looking up at the stars.
Hearing the footsteps, Mo Li immediately turned his head and looked over, with a wary look on his face.
Looking at Mo Li's look, Bu Xiaotian knew that she had been waiting for him here. He felt a little warm in his heart and said:
"it's me."
Mo Li had also recognized Bu Xiaotian's figure, the wariness on his face immediately disappeared, and there was a hint of joy in his voice:
"You're back? How are you? Did you find anything? Did they find you in the movement over there just now?"
Bu Xiaotian nodded and said:
"Well, the people from the Black Flame Palace are indeed on the mountain, but one thing is strange. Apart from a few caves, there are not even any decent houses on the mountain. The words 'Black Flame Palace' have nothing to do with it." Up there?"
Mo Li didn't care much about these details and said nonchalantly:
"Who knows? The Demon Cult demons are very cunning. They may have deliberately chosen an unrelated name to make people think that their sect must have built many great halls just to confuse others."
When Jian Moli said this, Bu Xiaotian no longer struggled with these doubts and said:
"I also saw my second senior brother and the others. Just now, the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother were discovered by Xing Zang. The second senior brother fought a trick with the elder of Black Flame Hall to save them. Fortunately, the second senior brother has advanced cultivation and brought the two senior brothers with him. Escaped intact."
"Oh, all right!"
Mo Li felt relieved after hearing this and asked again:
"Then what are you going to do next? Go find your senior brothers?"
But Bu Xiaotian slowly shook his head:
"The senior brothers came here to avenge me. Counting the time, the senior brothers should have received the news that I am safe and sound. Then there is no talk of revenge, and they will not easily provoke the Black Flame Palace.
“But I want to understand why the Black Flame Palace is chasing my parents, and I don’t want to join them for the time being.
"You may be in danger, if you..."
Before Bu Xiaotian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mo Li:
"I will always be with you!"
Mo Li's tone was very firm. Looking at her expression, Bu Xiaotian was full of words but didn't know where to start. In the end, he only uttered one word:
"good!"
In the next few days, Bu Xiaotian quietly went up the mountain to investigate several times, but since what happened that night, the guards of the Black Flame Palace have not relaxed, leaving him with no chance at all. They had to wait quietly.
During this period, he also discovered several marks left by Cheng Yunliang and others, but he did not want them to be involved, so he could only turn a blind eye.
On this day, Bu Xiaotian dived up the mountain again.
Perhaps because similar situations have not happened in the past few days, the people on the mountain have relaxed their vigilance again, and the scope of their activities is much larger than before, but there is still no one alone.
Bu Xiaotian hid in the dark and observed for a long time, and finally chose the direction where the two people who seemed to have low cultivation level were going and chased after them.
An hour later, Bu Xiaotian carried the two unconscious people back to the mountain col where they were hiding.
When Mo Li saw Bu Xiaotian coming back, he also walked out of the dense forest where he was hiding. He looked at the two people who were thrown on the ground and said:
"Are they from the mountains?"
"Um."
Bu Xiaotian nodded and signaled Mo Li to hide first, and then transformed into an ordinary middle-aged man. Then he stretched out his hand and tapped the slightly younger man among them. After a moment, that man Youyou wake up.
He was knocked unconscious by Bu Xiaotian without realizing it. When he just woke up, there was a trace of confusion on his face, but when he saw the fainted companion next to him and the middle-aged man standing in front of him, he immediately After understanding what happened, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to scream.
"Shut up! If you dare to call me, I will kill you!"
Bu Xiaotian immediately put his long sword into the man's throat and shouted. His voice was low and cold, and there was a cold look on his face. The man was immediately restrained, and his mouth was half opened. Close it tightly again.
"Now tell me everything you know! When you finish speaking, I will ask him again. If what he said does not match what you said, I will kill you!"
When the man heard this, his face became even more frightened, and he nodded desperately.
Bu Xiaotian waited for a long time, but saw that the man didn't speak for a long time, and urged:
"Say! Do you want to wait for them to save you? Even if they come, I will have enough time to kill you!"
The man was afraid that Bu Xiaozhen would kill him, so he hurriedly said:
"I don't dare to deceive adults, but if you don't tell me what to say, I don't know where to start!"
This was also the first time for Bu Xiaotian to interrogate someone. When he heard what the person said, he immediately knew that he had just ignored this point.
However, the expression on his face remained unchanged and he asked:
"What is this place? Who are you?"
The man looked panicked, as if he was afraid that he would lose his life if he answered too slowly. Bu Xiaotian couldn't wait to answer as soon as he finished asking:
"This is Scarlet Flame Mountain. My name is Lu Guo, and I am a mountain patrolling disciple of the Black Flame Palace. However, I have just joined the Black Flame Palace for two or three years and have been patrolling the mountain here. I have never done anything bad. Please sir. Spare the little one’s life!”
Bu Xiaotian interrupted Lu Guo's begging for mercy:
"You answer whatever I ask you. If you say any nonsense, I will kill you immediately!"
After saying that, he saw Lu Guo nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He was afraid that his throat would be pierced by the sword if he moved too much, but he didn't dare to say another word, so he asked again:
"Where is the Black Flame Palace?"
"On the mountain."
As soon as Lu Guo finished speaking, Bu Xiaotian said sharply:
"Nonsense! There are only a few huts on the mountain, where is the Black Flame Palace?"
When Lu Guo saw this, there was a hint of crying in his voice:
"You guys are not talking nonsense. The entrance to the Black Flame Palace is in the cave on the mountainside. The cave is very big. Everyone except the people on duty to patrol the mountain is inside!"
Bu Xiaotian nodded when he heard this, knowing that Lu Guo was not lying, but the expression on his face did not loosen at all, and asked again:
"How many people are there in the Black Flame Palace? Who are the ones with the highest cultivation level?"
"This little one really doesn't know!"
"Um?"
The long sword in Bu Xiaotian's hand was gently passed forward, and a small wound was immediately stabbed in Lu Guo's throat.
Lu Guo felt the stinging pain in his throat and knew that Bu Xiaotian was angry, so he immediately said:
"The younger ones only know that there are five patrol teams on the mountain, each with a hundred people, divided into ten teams, and many secret sentries. The one with the highest cultivation level in the entire Black Flame Palace is the Master of the Black Flame Palace and the five major ones of purple, white, gold, green and red. Elders, each of the five elders has several disciples and hundreds of people under his command. The master of the hall has been in seclusion fifteen years ago. Elder Chi Yan disappeared a year ago. Now everything is done by the remaining four elders. Make the decision. The other little ones really don’t know!"
Although there were many unclear things in Lu Guo's words, Bu Xiaotian believed most of them. After all, he was just a mountain patrol disciple. If he explained it in too much detail, Bu Xiaotian would suspect that he was making it up.
Bu Xiaotian took the sword back a little, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Recently, the guards on the mountain seem to be tighter than before. Did something happen?"
Lu Guo nodded immediately:
"Yes, yes. Some time ago, the great elder took a group of his men out to find something, but when they came back, only seven or eight people were left, and they were all injured. Even the great elder's face looked a little ugly. , someone sneaked into the mountain a few nights ago, but the second elder and the fourth elder jointly fought back, so there are several times more guards on the mountain these days than before."
Lu Guo's words were not much different from what Bu Xiaotian knew, so he nodded, pointed at the unconscious man next to him and asked:
"Okay, you answered well. Let me ask you the last question now. What is his name?"
Although Lu Guo didn't know why Bu Xiaotian suddenly asked the person's name, he still answered honestly:
"His name is Pei Jue."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Bu Xiaotian raise his sword. He thought Bu Xiaotian was going to kill him, so he rolled his eyes in horror and fainted.
