Dongfang Yan sat cross-legged here quietly on a graceful mountain peak. At this time, the aura on his body was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and his body seemed to become transparent.

Golden runes were constantly wandering around in his body, seemingly in a chaotic trajectory, but if you look carefully, you can see that these runes are operating according to certain rules!

Dugu Zhan stood aside and silently watched Dongfang Yan's changes. The golden runes in his eyes flashed as he stared closely at every subtle change of Dongfang Yan. After a long time, he nodded and said to himself: "

The Tao of the East seems to coincide with some mysterious rules in the world. Even with my current cultivation level, I can't see through it, but it is very powerful!"

Dugu Zhan left after confirming that Dongfang Yan's breakthrough was not dangerous, and soon returned to Yunhai City.

At this time, the soldiers in the general's mansion were a little worried when they saw Dugu Zhan coming back and asked: "Young hero Dugu, how is the young general!"

"He's fine. I'll be handling the affairs in the city these days!" Dugu Zhan said calmly.

Dugu Zhan's prestige in Yunhai City is no less than that of Dongfang Yan, so when Dugu Zhan said that he was temporarily managing Yunhai City, no one questioned or objected!

Yunhai City is now on the right track, and there are dedicated people in charge of everything. Generally, Dugu Zhan is quite relaxed if there is nothing major.

However, the spies who suddenly came back from the imperial capital that day reported: "Zhao Wuji was invited to the Yutian Sect by the head of the Yutian Sect and never came out again!"

When Dugu Zhan heard the news, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then said to himself: "Does Yu Tianzong really dare to attack Zhao Wuji!"

For a while, Dugu Zhan also felt a little pity. He still admired Zhao Wuji. If he was really suppressed by the people of Yutian Sect, it would be really a pity!

In the next few days, Dugu Zhan kept sending people to the imperial capital, asking them to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Wuji as soon as possible.

But at this moment, the city lords in the central region suddenly stopped fighting, and at the same time issued a statement saying that they were willing to surrender to Yin Yuquan!

This sudden change shocked everyone. They didn't understand what methods Yin Yuquan used to get rid of these fifty or sixty city lords really quickly!

In the general's mansion, Dugu Zhan looked at the joint statement sent by those from the central region, which suddenly made him feel uneasy.

"Are these people afraid that they would send people to stir up trouble between us and the Imperial Capital, and then they defected to the Imperial Capital!" Old General Zhao said.

"That's not the case! Those immortal-level masters have never had contact with those city lords. They are all the people from Linglong Mountain who are pulling the strings. Even if we want to cause trouble, we should go to Linglong Mountain first. They can't be so happy.

Just surrender to Yin Yuquan!" Dongfang Yan said.

At this time, a general named Zhang Wudian stood up and said: "Is it possible that someone is pulling the strings in this, so that so many city lords can choose to surrender at the same time!"

Dugu Zhan thought for a while and then said: "This is really possible, but this person is either a high-ranking and prestigious person, or this person has absolute power that makes these city lords feel afraid!"

Dugu Zhan's words silenced everyone for a while, because no matter what kind of person they were, they were very unfavorable to them. The unification of the central region meant that Yin Yuquan was likely to use this as a springboard to sweep across the entire north and west!

"Old General Zhao, how many soldiers and horses do we have in Yunhai City now?" Dugu Zhan suddenly asked.

"There are now a total of 50,000 people! More than 20,000 of them are newly recruited soldiers!" said General Zhao.

At this time, Zhang Wudian looked at Dugu Zhan and asked, "Young Master Dugu, do you mean that Yin Yuquan will start a war with us next?"

"This is very possible. After all, Yin Yuquan has great ambitions, and they may use this to pacify the world!" Duguzhan said.

At this time, everyone in the hall was a little worried. In their opinion, if there really was to be a battle, it would definitely be another bloody storm!

"From now on, those new recruits will be trained strictly, and the patrol soldiers we send out will expand the patrol range by another fifty miles!" Dugu Zhan said at this time!

"Yes!" Several generals in the hall replied immediately.

Also receiving the notice were the King of the North and the King of Luyang. They were also very cautious about this and had already begun preparations for war!

Yunhai City is still as lively as usual, but there is a chilling atmosphere, because the frequent training of soldiers stationed outside the city makes some people smell the smell of war!

However, the people of Yunhai City are very calm, because in their opinion, it is good enough that Yunhai City does not attack others. If someone dares to attack, they will never come back!

Yunhai City's confidence is not blind, because they do have such strength, which is one of the reasons why those foreign merchants settled their families in Yunhai City!

Dugu Zhan also frequently appeared at the top of the city at this time, in order to make the people of Yunhai City feel more at ease, and also to make the refugees outside the city feel at ease. After all, if there is a war, they will bear the brunt!

But the strange thing is that since the city lords in the central region surrendered to Yin Yuquan, Yin Yuquan did not immediately use troops against other princes. Instead, it became calm, and wars of all sizes disappeared for a while!

Dugu Zhan looked at the intelligence sent from various places, and doubts flashed in his eyes, because according to the intelligence sent back by these spies, the city lords in the central part of the country were doing one thing inexplicably, that is, they were constantly collecting things from ancient times, as if they

Looking for something in general!

"What are they looking for?" Dugu Zhan couldn't help but said to himself!

Just when Dugu Zhan was wondering what those people were looking for, someone suddenly said that someone outside the house wanted to see him, which made Dugu Zhan stunned for a moment and then walked out.

When he came to the door of the General's Mansion, he found a man in a cloak standing outside. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Dugu Zhan judged from the breath on his body that this man was Lan Yu, who had disappeared for a long time!

"Why are you here? I haven't heard from you for so long. I thought something happened to you!" Dugu Zhan said with surprise on his face.

At this time, the person in the cloak took off the hat on his head, and a sexy and beautiful face was instantly revealed. At this time, she looked at Dugu Zhan with a smile and said: "Brother Dugu, long time no see!"

Then the two came to the courtyard where Dugu Zhan lived. Dugu Zhan looked at Lan Yu and couldn't help but ask: "Where have you been for so long? I asked the people in your organization and they said they had no news about you!"

Lan Yu said with a slightly sad face at this time: "We accepted a mission, but ended up being trapped in an ancient killing array, and we didn't break out from it until not long ago!"

"I see, no wonder I can't find you!" Dugu Zhan said.

"Haha, you're looking for me? Do you like me?" Lan Yu suddenly stared at Dugu Zhan with his big eyes, and the smile on his face was even more sexy!

"Haha, um... I just have something to do with you!" Even though Dugu Zhan had already entered the god-level realm, he was also caught off guard by Lan Yu's question!

"Haha, I'm kidding you, I'm scaring you!" Lan Yu said with a smile, but there was a flash of disappointment deep in his eyes.

Dugu Zhan couldn't help but laugh awkwardly at this time, and then asked: "What kind of mission did you accept? How could you still encounter the ancient killing array!"

Lan Yu said calmly at this time: "We don't know what the specific mission is. We only know that the place we went to has something the employer wants. As for what it is, we don't even know because the employer specially sent someone to follow us.

And we just escort that person into the designated area!"

Dugu Zhan nodded and asked, "Have you found that thing?"

Lan Yu's expression suddenly became serious at this time, and she said to Dugu Zhan: "This is why I came to see you this time!"

Seeing Lan Yu suddenly become serious, Dugu Zhan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is it related to me?"

Lan Yu nodded at this time and said: "I didn't know that this matter would involve you at first, but since I came back and learned some things, I realized that everything seems to be aimed at you!"

Dugu Zhan was suddenly startled and couldn't help but wonder, could someone be secretly looking for a way to deal with me?

Seeing the change in Dugu Zhan's expression, Lan Yu also continued: "Actually, it may be that I guessed wrong, but I have to be on guard after all!"

Dugu Zhan nodded and said, "Please tell me more specifically!"

Lan Yu then told them about receiving the mission!

It turns out that a year ago, Lan Yu and the others received a mission from a mysterious employer, saying that they were going to the Orchid Desert, one of the top ten most dangerous places, to find something. Lan Yu's organization generally would not accept such a mission to a dangerous place, because

No one dares to go to such a dangerous place with no way out.

The Orchid Desert is even more of a dangerous place among dangerous places, because it is said that this desert was once the dojo of a god and demon, but later the god and demon were killed and it became a desert.

There is almost zero aura in this desert, and it can suppress people's cultivation. There are even terrifying magic ants in the desert. These ants are naturally immune to magic, and there are so many that they can eat a person in an instant.

There is only a pile of bones left, so even if a cultivator comes here, he must be very careful!

But I don’t know what method the mysterious employer used to get the leader of the organization to agree to this task, and Lan Yu was selected to go with him.

This time the team was led by two immortal-level masters, as well as Lan Yu, three other real-person masters, and a young man sent by the employer!

When they came to Orchid Desert, the young man suddenly took out the palm of his left hand from his arms, and what they were looking for was something with the same breath as this palm!
