However, before they could set out to go back, a strong wind suddenly blew up between the sky and the earth. In an instant, black sand suddenly appeared, and the force that covered the sky and the sun trapped several people in place. A few of them were quite agile and instantly built earthen walls to resist the storm, not daring to make any other rash moves. However, the storm showed no sign of letting up. Instead, it became more and more fierce, and the surrounding area became darker and darker.
This was Yuedie's plan to survive in death. She had already expected that she and Xiao He would have little hope of defeating these five nineteenth-level immortal cultivators and survive. Moreover, at this time, Xiao He was poisoned and comatose. The only thing she could think of was The only way is to pretend to be Xiao He and take these five people to the hinterland of the desert, and then force the five people to take action. According to the descriptions of the people in the town, when the wind season arrives, their earth-attributed mana will most likely trigger a black storm. If this is the case, she can use her mortal body to win a glimmer of hope for Xiao He...
"Shan Kang, what should we do!" asked the only woman in the team.
"Don't panic, everyone, go in the direction where the beast escaped just now! Otherwise we will easily get lost in this vast desert and cannot find our way back!" Shankang is the leader of this team. At the critical moment, he immediately Make your own judgment.
"Okay!" Everyone said in unison, and then immediately narrowed the scope of the earth wall to protect themselves, and ran all the way in the direction of the Candle Yin Beast. Everyone kept running in one direction without daring to change direction at all. Fortunately, after leaving the hinterland of the desert, the storm seemed to be less intense, but there was no trace of the Candle Yin Beast.
They stopped and looked at the endless desert around them, not knowing what to do. Finally, Shankang said: "Let's rest where we are tonight. When the storm subsides completely, we will go find that kid to get the Beidou Order. I believe that even with the black storm, he will not be able to escape from this desert."
With the storm raging now, this seemed to be the safest way. Everyone was helpless. Although the Beidou Order was right in front of them, they did not dare to use their magic power because they were afraid of causing a bigger storm. They only chose a higher sand dune to take shelter. Fortunately, This place is on the edge of the storm and cannot cause them greater harm.
The next day, the storm had subsided, and several people opened their eyes from the breath adjustment. The woman's exclamation made everyone wake up immediately. Following the woman's gaze, the Zhuyin beast that escaped yesterday was actually standing on the sand dune not far away, looking in the direction of them.
"Look! The beast is back!" the woman shouted.
"What's going on!" Shankang also shouted.
"Good morning, friends!" A very loud voice sounded, and the five people turned around, only to find that there were more than a dozen giants with a height of more than two meters blocking their way back.
"Juxuan City!" Shankang squeezed out these three words through his teeth.
The woman next to Shankang also reminded loudly: "We don't offend the river, so I hope you won't embarrass us."
The person leading the team in Juxuan City was the young city lord Yu Wenjian. He looked at the five people in Tiancun City coldly and said in a cold voice: "I don't want to embarrass you, I just want you to... go back!"
"Why aren't we allowed to enter the desert?" Shankang was extremely angry. Thinking of the Beidou Order that was easily within his grasp, he was eager to wait, but he never expected that a giant city would appear on the way.
Yu Wenjian said nothing and looked at Shankang and others silently.
Shankang looked at the giants of Juxuan City in front of him, each one making bold moves and glaring at him. Of course, he knew in his heart that if he fought hard, he would not be able to gain any advantage. Not only would he not get the Beidou Order, but he would also lose five people's lives. I have to explain it here too. What's more, in Shankang's view, they may not know the whereabouts of the Beidou Order. There may be hope for him to return.
Thinking of this, Shen Kang suppressed his anger and asked a little unwillingly: "I still want to know why you don't let us enter the desert."
Yu Wenjian said expressionlessly: "I often hear that there are ruins of ancient cities in the desert. We want to explore them and don't want outsiders to disturb them."
Shankang looked at Yu Wenjian. It was obvious that he was not convinced by Yuwenjian's words. However, the opponent had a large number of people and their cultivation levels were not lower than his own, so he did not dare to fight rashly. After thinking calmly and carefully, Shankang said: "Well, since Juxuan City has this intention, we won't bother you and let's just leave!"
After Shankang finished speaking, he took the others and left. The other four people were unwilling to do so, but they had no choice but to follow Shankang and leave.
"They really don't know about Beidou Order?" the woman asked.
Shankang replied: "Not sure, but they must be lying. How can the ancient ruins of several aboriginal cities have the magic tools needed by immortal cultivators? This is definitely not the purpose of their trip."
"Damn it!" the woman complained.
Shankang continued: "I hope they don't know about the Beidou Order yet! Let's try to go back the same way tonight!"
Everyone nodded and walked all the way out of the desert, resting in a mountain not far from the desert. They only waited for the sun to set before going back to look for Beidou Ling.
As for Yu Wenjian, he felt a sigh of relief when he looked at Yuedie's body. After taking off Xiao He's green robe, Yu Wenjian ordered people to bury Yuedie in this desert. Then, under the leadership of Zhuyin Beast, he walked all the way to the other end of the desert...
When Xiao He woke up again, he was wearing his own blue Taoist robe. Sitting up from the bed, he looked around and found that he was in a strange stone house. The furnishings of the stone house were not special, but the doors and windows were extremely large. He couldn't remember how many times he woke up from a strange place.
"You're awake, Brother Xiao." Yu Wenjing pushed open the door and said cheerfully.
Xiao He smiled and replied: "This is the station of Juxuan City, right? Why am I here?" After Xiao He finished speaking, he instantly remembered the scene before he fainted. Without waiting for Yu Wenjing's answer, he asked anxiously: " Where is the woman traveling with me?"
Hearing Xiao He's question, Yu Wenjing put away his smile and said with some sadness: "When my brother came back, he said that the woman had been buried in the desert."
"What!" Although he had expected the result, he still couldn't accept it when he heard Yu Wenjing say it with his own ears. Yuedie was the first woman he met when he came to Tongtian Fortress. It seemed like yesterday that the two of them were fighting over each other to snatch Suanni. Not long after that, they parted ways. Xiao He sighed, thinking that there was another woman who died because of him in the world. He owed too many people.
"The person who killed her came from Tiancun City, right?" Xiao He asked.
Yu Wenjing nodded and said nothing. Looking at Xiao He's sad look, he didn't know how to comfort him.
Xiao He asked again: "How did you discover me?"
Yu Wenjing replied: "It's your Zhuyin Beast. It actually crossed the volcano and ran all the way to the vicinity of our station. Fortunately, it met us not far from there. Only then was it discovered by the immortal cultivators from Juxuan City, and it took it all the way. We came here to find you, you are such a loyal servant!"
Xiao He nodded, indicating that he understood, stood up and put on the Taoist robe.
"Brother Xiao, where are you going?" Yu Wenjing said anxiously: "You should rest here for a few days and fully recover before setting off. Besides, we also have to guard against Tiancun City's counterattack."
Xiao He asked: "Where is Tiancun City stationed?"
Yu Wenjing shook his head.
Xiao He said: "I am indeed pressed for time and have to rush back to my station."
"How about I ask my brother to send someone to escort you?" Yu Wenjing added.
Xiao He smiled and said to Yu Wenjing: "Thank you, brother, I'm not that cowardly. I still have to resolve my own affairs."
At this moment, Yu Wenjian also walked into the house, "Brother Xiao He, are you feeling better?"
Xiao He showed a smile and said softly: "This time more Juxuan City will help."
Yu Wenjian waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You saved my brother's life. I said that Juxuan City will definitely repay this kindness. It's just a pity that we arrived too late. By the time we arrived, the woman was already..."
Xiao He raised his hand and did not let Yu Wenjian continue, but said: "This is not your fault. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. I will record every life that Tiancun City has suffered."
"Brother..." Yu Wenjian thought carefully for a long time, and finally said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to have a head-on conflict with Tiancun City at this moment. They are quite powerful in Tongtian Fortress, and the seven major cities in the God's Domain are close friends with each other. Why bother yourself with constant killings?"
Xiao He smiled: "This matter will not be settled like this, but this time, I am afraid that Juxuan City will be implicated. I will find the headquarters of Tiancun City as soon as possible to solve this trouble, so as not to harm you."
But Yu Wenjian said: "Brother, what did you say? The reason I advise you this time is not because you are afraid of Tiancun City, but because of your safety."
Xiao He nodded, squeezed out a smile, and said: "Thank you two brothers, I am indeed on my way! Qingshan is always there, let's meet again someday!"
Brother Yuwen had no choice but to watch Xiao He leave. However, Xiao He didn't go far north when he saw Qingshan leading the Qinglong Army from afar.
Xiao He felt very relieved and patted Zhu Yin's back to signal him to stop. Qingshan Shuai and his troops rushed towards Xiao He and immediately prostrated themselves: "Greetings to the chief coach!"
Xiao He felt warm in his heart and said, "Brothers, please get up."
As Xiao He said this, he dismounted, lifted Qingshan up again, and asked, "How did you come here?"
Qingshan explained: "We will return to the tribe and settle down everyone. Sang Yan and Dong Ge are out to carry out your special mission. My subordinates are really worried about your safety, so they sent fifty Qinglong Commander troops to stay behind, and led five more Ten brothers are searching for you in the direction you are traveling."
Xiao He nodded and said: "A lot of things happened along the way. I can't explain them in a sentence or two. You send ten Qinglong troops to find Sang Yan and Dong Ge and call them back immediately. The rest of them will follow me back first." Tribe, I want to make arrangements immediately."
