As the sun rose and set, it was finally time for Yin Xiuxuan's group to take over the patrol mission. The disciples from the previous group relieved themselves of their duties, met each other, and went back to their respective courtyards to rest.
Yin Xiuxuan and his team were all new to this task. In the past ten days, although they had met each other, it was just to say hello. This time, when everyone was present, we could see who was coming.
There were a total of nine people present, including Yin Xiuxuan, Xiao Lu, and He Qingzhu. According to the mission introduction, this mission could only be carried out by seven or more people. Nine people were far enough.
In the hall, Feng Qianli also appeared. After lecturing everyone, he returned to the back hall as usual, not knowing what he was doing.
As soon as Feng Qianli left, Xiao Lu was the biggest disciple here. Among the disciples present, it was not as good as Yin Xiuxuan's last mission, which was full of disciples of the eighth level of Qi training. Instead, the main ones were the seventh level of Qi training, and the eighth level of Qi training, except for
Xiao Lu was another tall man standing silently, looking a little dull.
After exchanging names, Xiao Lu led the team and led everyone out of the Fairy City, drew his sword on the spot and took off to the sky.
The so-called patrol patrol is just to see if there are threatening people or monsters around the fairy city. Once they appear, if the patrol team can solve them, they will naturally take action to solve the problem. If they cannot solve them, they may call other teams.
Team up to solve it together, or directly call out the stationed foundation-building monks to deal with it.
Of course, due to frequent patrols, there are very few problems that arise, but since the spiritual stones from the shops have been collected as offerings, and because of the reputation of the Yiyun Sect, they will definitely send disciples to patrol and never slacken off.
The patrol area is only within a hundred miles radius. The flying sword cannot fly too high when patrolling. It must be inspected carefully, so it takes two or three days to complete the inspection. But why don't the patrolling disciples want to take this opportunity to find something practical?
Genius treasures and materials for cultivating immortals are allowed in the sect, so the time is extended to ten days.
The flight route was in a zigzag shape, patrolling around the Huayang Fairy City. Along the way, for several days, there was no movement, and there were only monsters that did not appear. But most of them were only first-level and intermediate-level monsters.
As long as it arouses everyone's interest, those who are willing will be killed easily, while other disciples will be looking for various materials they need at any time.
However, except for Xiao Lu who was familiar with the terrain and who also benefited from He Qingzhu and Yin Xiuxuan, the other disciples did not gain much.
In the past few days, Xiao Lu pointed out various materials to Yin Xiuxuan from time to time. Although all kinds of materials were not precious, they had some value, and they were like treasures to Xiao Lu. Even when passing by the big river, Xiao Lu did not forget it.
Mentioning the submerged crystal made the three of them laugh, as if it was something funny.
Along the way, if there is any trouble, someone needs to go check it out. This is all arranged by Xiao Lu. This work is generally thankless, and Xiao Lu clearly ordered other disciples to do it, and did not let Yin Xiuxuan and He Qingzhu go out.
All the disciples at the eighth level of Qi training were ordered by him once, but he made it very obvious to everyone that he was on good terms with Yin Xiuxuan.
Although Yin Xiuxuan could not figure out such obvious behavior, he had been alert for a long time, but he did not become complacent at all. Instead, he requested for dispatch many times, which made others slightly less dissatisfied with him.
It was already the ninth day of walking. Everyone had circled the Fairy City and was about to return to the starting point. On this day, as usual, the group of people were holding swords in the sky, scanning for any movement below.
Suddenly, a disciple at the seventh level of Qi training pointed at one side and shouted: "Look what that is!"
When everyone heard the words and looked over, they saw a line of black smoke rising out of the air, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.
"That is?" Xiao Lu also seemed to be confused about what it was, and wanted to see if anyone knew about it, but everyone shook their heads, not knowing what was going on.
"Is there any junior brother who is willing to go and investigate?" Xiao Lu couldn't help but ask.
This sign was obviously different from the past. No one wanted to take risks. Finally, after looking around, Xiao Lu actually looked at Yin Xiuxuan and said: "Junior brother Yin, you have asked me to come out many times before, so this time you will come forward." How about going."
Hearing this, Yin Xiuxuan had a premonition that something was not good, so he was about to speak, but he saw He Qingzhu saying, "If not, just let me go and have a look."
Hearing this, several other monks couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces. Even Xiao Lu looked at Yin Xiuxuan strangely and said, "Junior brother Yin, what do you think?"
Hearing this question, Yin Xiuxuan felt that something was wrong. He looked around again and saw that everyone was staring at him. Watching was also stressful for people. Yin Xiuxuan could only nodded and said: "In this case, I will go and take a look. Just give it a try."
Xiao Lu was overjoyed when he heard this and said hello repeatedly, and even encouraged him: "Junior brother Yin, just go ahead. If anything goes wrong, send the signal immediately and we will come to support immediately."
These words seemed to be comforting, but Yin Xiuxuan felt something bad after hearing it. With a thought, he nodded, turned his sword light, and flew towards the place where the black mist appeared before.
The place where the black mist appeared was not that far away, but it was separated by a mountain. You had to fly over the mountain to see what happened. Yin Xiuxuan secretly took the talisman in his hand, made preparations, and then flew over the mountain.
When we came to the top of the mountain, nothing seemed to be weird. The mountain was still a mountain, and the woods were still woods. However, the uneasiness in his heart had not dissipated, and Yin Xiuxuan could not go back so quickly.
Really helpless, Yin Xiuxuan lowered his sword light, but did not put away the flying sword. Instead, he grabbed it in his hand and jumped on the branches to look for anything strange.
Not long after, his mind moved and he seemed to have found something. With a twist of his feet, he changed direction and ran towards that place.
Not far away, I saw a forest in the middle, which seemed to be covered with a thick layer of black mist, but this black mist was light and not as dense as what I had seen before.
With a thought, he opened the defense on the Taoist robe, and a ray of white light enveloped him, and then he jumped into the black mist.
Suddenly, a dizzy feeling came into his mind, a feeling like being drunk, which made his feet a little erratic and almost fell off the tree.
"Not good!" Yin Xiuxuan waved his hand and released a rainbow, shooting fiercely into the sky. This was the signal bomb held by the patrolling disciples. It could be seen within a radius of thirty miles. It was a signal that something was going on.
Although the signal was sent out, Yin Xiuxuan did not dare to let down his guard at all. He took his thoughts back into his mind and gradually regained some clarity.
Suddenly, a burst of Jie Jie's laughter came. Although Yin Xiuxuan was frightened, he held the flying sword tightly and looked towards the place where the laughter came from.
