The Lord of Siling City is now stationed in Lingxi because it is the most stable place. The five major families are also involved in more and more decision-making due to the improvement in the strength of their martial arts masters.

The most obvious ones are Zu Hong and Jin Ling. In just over two years after they broke through to the Union Realm, they have already broken through to the Second Realm and are ahead of Jin Kui Mountain. The reason is only known to them.

Because Zu Chuan had practiced the Great Sage Illustration, their status among the city lord's forces had skyrocketed.

In order to better deal with the Temple of Gods and Demons, the four cities integrated all forces and re-established a city lord's palace.

Sun Zhongxin is the city lord, the other three are deputy city lords, and the remaining five third-level martial arts masters are elders.

There is a city supervisory army within the city lord's palace, with Zu Hong as the general, leading the five major families to protect Lingxi. Outside, there is a demon-slaying army, with Wu Yuan as the general, commanding all the martial artists in the four ridges to deal with threats from the temple of gods and demons at any time.

Sun Zhongxin noticed the clues about Qi Cong brought back by Jin Yuting's three daughters at a glance.

Qi Cong didn't think about hiding it anymore. He explained his purpose and was taken to the meeting hall.

The next few days were peaceful, but the sergeants of the Demon-Slaying Army kept coming in and out of the four city gates, making ordinary people feel that things were not that simple.

It wasn't until a month later that a warrior wearing a demon-slaying army armor and covered in blood broke in from the west gate of the outer city to meet the general, and everything changed.

"What? You said that the Temple of Gods and Demons crossed Hushan Mountain and broke into Lingxi?" Zu Hong asked incredulously.

"Be calm and don't be impatient." Wu Yuan said, "You are also a general now. No matter what happens, you must stay calm. Otherwise, how can you deal with various emergencies soberly."

"General, but is my father still there?"

"You! Didn't you hear clearly? The attackers were all warriors. Your father is already in the unity realm. Are you still worried that he will be in danger?"

"This." Zu Hong said embarrassedly, "General, you also know that my mother passed away after giving birth to me. His family has always raised me. I was really anxious just now."

Wu Yuan said, "Don't worry, we have received a message from your father. He should be arriving soon."

"What about the others, where are the people in the mountains?"

"At present, those people have not taken action against the people below the Yunqi realm. They are safe for the time being. Zu Hong, I want you to find a few people and go to Hushan to carefully investigate their purpose. Do you have anyone there?

select?"

Zu Hong thought for a while and said, "The strength of the people who go should not be too high, but also not too low. The main thing is to have the ability to deal with crises. How about asking each of the five major families to send two juniors and divide them into five groups to investigate?"

"Okay, without further ado, let them come in and set off."

"General." Zu Hong asked before leaving, "Do you know where my sons Zuchuan and Xiuxiu are now? If they are in Lingxi now, it would be most appropriate for them to go."

Wu Yuan smiled and said, "I knew you were going to lose your composure, but unfortunately I don't know where they are. But I can tell you that this was arranged by Wen Sanwei to let the two of them quickly improve their strength."

.”

"I would be relieved if it was arranged by Senior Wen, but to be honest, I still don't know why this Senior insisted on giving Xiu Xiu to us back then."

"Don't be ignorant of your blessings. Let's not mention whether Senior Wen's strength is innate or not. Let's just say that this girl Wenxiu is well-behaved and sensible. You are such a mediocre girl, so why should you be dissatisfied?"

"Satisfied." Zu Hong recalled, "This child Xiaochuan suffered a lot when he was a child. If Xiuxiu didn't take care of him, I don't know if he would have grown up. But, is Senior Wen innate?"

"There are some things you don't know clearly. In fact, Xiantian is just a realm here, and there is no such complete realm in the world of cultivation. The Lord City Lord has said that Senior Wen has definitely surpassed the realm of unity, but he doesn't know what realm it is specifically.

Know."

Zu Hong didn't stay long. After returning, he asked the five major clan leaders to arrange for the junior warriors in the clan to go to Hushan to investigate.

For the sake of safety, they did not set off together and did not take the official road. They tried to walk to Hushan through remote places.

Make an agreement with them that no matter how the investigation turns out, they will return to Lingxi City in fifteen days.

In a small forest in the west of the city, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi were both carrying small bundles, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Xiao Qi, is she okay? We have been waiting for her for half an hour. If she doesn't come, we will leave directly. If we go late, we will lose all the credit."

"Brother Six." Xiao Qi said helplessly, "It will take at least three days for us to go to Hushan, and I have been to many places and the roads are much more familiar than theirs. Do I still care about this little time? Besides, you dare not wait for Linlin

, aren’t you afraid that she will come and beat you up?”

"If she dares to beat me up, I will go back and file a complaint. I won't let her go." Xiao Liu said disdainfully.

"Say it again? Believe it or not, I broke your legs because of this and asked you to go back now."

"Oh, Sister Linlin, I'm just kidding. I'm safe as long as you are here, so how can I stop you."

Xiao Qi glanced at him with disdain and asked, "Linlin, have you brought all the things I asked you to prepare?"

"Don't worry." Sun Lin patted the bundle and said, "Even a group of ferocious beasts can defeat them all."

"Okay, let's set off quickly."

After the two of them finished speaking, they left, with Sixth Brother chasing after them.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say?"

The Hushan Mountains are where Lingxi and Beiling meet. They are surrounded by mountains that are hundreds of miles deep but not very long laterally.

The only town bordering Hushan is Huju Town, so the five groups of people are responsible for a small area.

Three days passed quickly. The three of them had just passed through Huju Town, and it was time to go to Zujiaao.

"Xiao Qi, where should we go next? Have you been here before?" Sun Lin asked unhappily.

"I must have been here before, let me think about it, let me think about it."

"When did you come?"

Xiaoqi said, "I came here when I was four years old. Why do I seem to be different from before? Is the change that big?"

Sun Lin was so angry that she almost vomited blood. "Don't talk about how much changes have occurred in twelve years, but what can you remember when you were four years old?"

"Can I say something about that?" Sixth Brother asked, raising his hand.

"No, let's go." Sun Lin said, "Xiao Qi, please quickly think of a way for me, how to leave."

"I really can't find the way?"

"I don't care anyway, you find the way."

"But I can't find it."

"Shut up, you two." Brother Six slammed the tree next to him, leaving a vague handprint on the tree.

He said angrily, "Can you let me say something?"

The two women looked at each other and said in disbelief, "Just say what you say. Why are you hitting an iron tree? Doesn't your hand hurt?"

"Hiss! It hurts me so much. Give me some medicine on my wrist."

Sun Lin helped him feel the medicine to reduce the swelling and said, "You really deserve it. If you want to talk, just say it. Who can stop you from talking? By the way, just say whatever you want."

"I want to say that I know how to leave." Sixth Brother said helplessly, "Forget it, you can continue arguing, I won't say anything anymore."

After some guidance from the two women, Sixth Brother finally covered his wrist, which was almost thicker than his thigh.

He said, "We are going to Hushan Mountain, which is only two hundred miles away from us. There are only mountains in this area, but with our eyesight, we can already see every mountain."

"Yes!" Xiaoqi said excitedly, "I know the way, let's go."

"Okay, hurry up and lead the way."

Brother Six covered his wrist and wailed, "Give me the antidote first."

Hushan has only one entrance on the west side of the mountain, and it is difficult for ordinary people to access other places.

Recently, there have been wild rumors in the local area about someone killing people at Hushan Pass, which has made people panic, and almost all people going into the mountain to hunt have stopped.

This also resulted in no one being seen at the entrance for two or three days, which made things easier for the Temple of Gods and Demons.

If anyone comes to Hushan now, they will definitely be shocked because they will see mummies at regular intervals, and of course they are all of wild animals.

But strangely, there was no blood on the ground. In the usually bustling mountain forest, there was now no sound of birds singing or roaring of animals.

There was a tent set up at the entrance, and inside there were two young men eating meat and drinking wine.

"Junior Brother Jin, how long do we have to stay here? I guess Lingxi City will send someone here."

Jin Tianyu took a sip of wine and said sharply, "It's almost time. It will only take four or five days."

"Junior Brother Jin, it's a bit dangerous. Why don't you go back to Beiling first?"

Jin Tianyu said displeasedly, "Senior Brother Min, what do you mean by this? No one in Lingxi City's martial arts dares to move now. At most, some warriors will come. With you here, what do we have to fear?"

"Aren't I worried about your safety? Even if I can fight three, what if there are more enemies?" Senior Brother Min explained.

"Then I don't care, I won't leave anyway."

"Hey! Forget it, let those people move faster. I hope the formation can be arranged before they come."

"That's right." Jin Tianyu said, "The main reason is that those losers are too slow and can't even understand what they are saying."

Senior Brother Min said, "You can't say that. It can directly upgrade the ordinary bone-strengthening realm to the Qi-enhancing realm. It's normal to have some side effects. I have to say that Hall Master Jin is really powerful. He actually has such a way to quickly improve his strength."

"It's not that magical. It's just a change of the mysterious magic blood fusion method."

After Jin Tianyu finished speaking, he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly told him, "This is the biggest secret of our Temple of Gods and Demons. Don't let it out."

"Junior Brother Jin, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the problem. Then I'll go and urge those people. Junior Brother, please wait a moment."

"Go ahead."

After Min Wenjiang finished speaking, he walked out, took out a short flute, put it to his mouth and blew several notes of different lengths.
