Du Xuan returned to the mountain alone, which disappointed Mr. Zeng and everyone. He also lamented the insidiousness of Wumen and these elder families. They actually designed to lure Du Xuan back to Ducheng and was deeply ambushed. But Du Xuan was able to escape from Tong Lao and many
Escape from the hands of martial arts masters is a lucky escape. How can you expect others to escape as well?
Just when Zeng Lao, Yu Lao and Yan Lao were discussing, Du Xuan took the lead and killed all the people under the mountain first in response to the other party's conspiracy. As expected, a cultivator was sent by the mountain.
, loudly informed that Zhong Nan, Long Wanshan and Qiu Peng would be beheaded on Wuhun Mountain on the tenth day of the next lunar month. Then, they fled down the mountain in a hurry, fearing that a magic trick or a hidden arrow would fly from the dark place.
, shoot him.
Inside the cave.
Du Xuan, as well as Mr. Zeng, Mr. Yu and Mr. Yan, all sat together, all with livid faces, discussing countermeasures and the next steps for Snow Demon Mountain and even the future of the entire Demon Dou.
"Now, we no longer have anyone out there to harass and attack them. The Western Alliance is still standing still. Wumen is afraid that they will really attack our Snow Demon Mountain." Mr. Yu shook his head and sighed.
Previously, Wumen united with other major families to attack the Snow Demon Mountain. Although they suffered heavy losses, they did not capture the Snow Demon Mountain. However, all the fifteen magic formations under the mountain were destroyed. Now, only eight magic formations less than a hundred feet high from the nest are left.
The magic circle is still functioning. And half of these were rearranged by Yu Lao and others during this period.
Mr. Yan looked up at Du Xuan and asked tentatively: "How about, Du Xuan, you lead a hundred people down the mountain again and repeat the same trick?"
"No." Before Du Xuan could speak, Mr. Zeng shook his head and said, "This plan can never be repeated. Not to mention that the strength of the remaining disciples in the mountain is not as good as the group that Du Xuan took away before. Even if Du Xuan leads
The team has come out of the mountain, and each family has now taken strict precautions. It is difficult for the surprise attack to be effective. Otherwise, we will fall into an ambush by Wumen and these families, and we will lose our troops and generals."
"Then what should we do? Can we just sit back and wait for death?" Mr. Yan asked with a frown.
"Why!"
Old Zeng sighed, shook his head and was speechless. Now, it seems that there is no good way to deal with this dilemma.
After a long time, Yu Lao sighed softly: "In my opinion, we should kill him and go down the mountain and find another place to hide."
"There are still about two thousand people in the mountain. How can we get away from the eyes of Wumen and other families and find a secret place?" Mr. Zeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Mr. Yan thought for a while, looked at Du Xuan who was silent, and said: "How about, Du Xuan, you lead a group of disciples up the mountain to find a hidden place. Then we kill all the people surrounding the mountain.
The enemy will set off in batches to meet you."
"It's not that easy to find a secret place nowadays." Before Du Xuan could answer, Mr. Zeng smiled bitterly.
"Hey!" Mr. Yan thought for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and nodded, "After the tenth day of the next month, the Wumen will lead their troops to attack the mountain. We really don't have time to find a place to stay so quickly."
"Let's go to Dayang." Mr. Yu said.
"Ocean?"
"Endless ocean?!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
In this Half-Moon Continent, the most vast and dangerous unknown land is the wild forest in the north and the endless ocean surrounding the other three sides of the continent.
The reason why the wild forest is dangerous is that there are many ferocious beasts with terrifying strength in it. In the known history of Banyue Continent, only the martial cultivators of the Qiankun realm dared to go deep into the wild forest. In the end, there were no exceptions.
There was no news from the ground.
The Endless Ocean is even more terrifying, because the Endless Ocean is vast and boundless. No one knows how wide it is, and no one knows whether there is a continent on the other side of the ocean. A long time ago, there was a highly skilled and bold martial artist.
Many people traveled across the ocean by boat, but none of them ever came back.
Both martial cultivators and demon cultivators are most afraid of the boundless ocean. After all, there is not even a place to land on the ocean. Even the demon cultivators who can fly in the air are afraid of the boundless ocean for a long time.
Unable to find a decent continent, there was nowhere to rest, and finally returned without success.
"There are only a handful of known small islands in the endless ocean. Moreover, they may not be found within two days. Even if they are found, it is difficult to predict whether there will be food on the islands." Mr. Yan said with a bitter face.
, said.
Two days is the maximum limit for a disciple of the magician on Snow Demon Mountain to be able to fly in the air.
Mr. Yu sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "Besides this, do you have any other plans? Now, the only way to avoid the pursuit of Wumen and other major families is to leave the mainland. As for when we can find a place to stay.
How many people will survive on the island where they live permanently depends on God’s will.”
Indeed, now that the Snow Demon Mountain lair has been exposed, the strength of the two sides is quite different, and it seems that the only way is to escape from the mainland.
Just when Mr. Zeng was about to nod in agreement, Du Xuan raised his head and asked coldly: "Zhong Nan, Long Wanshan, and Qiu Peng, what should they do?"
After a pause, Du Xuan looked at Mr. Zeng and said in a deep voice: "Brother Nan is your apprentice!"
Mr. Zeng was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, with helplessness on his face, and said: "Of course I want to save Zhong Nan, but how can we save them now?"
"At the beginning, I led everyone to sneak into Wuhun Mountain. If I didn't use a little trick, how could I have rescued you. Now Wumen will definitely take strict precautions and will never give us such an opportunity again. There is no way to rescue Zhong Nan and the others."
Old Zeng was helpless and at his wits' end.
Yu Lao nodded, understanding the reason why Du Xuan remained silent, and immediately followed: "Yes, it was a fluke that Xiao Zeng was able to rescue you last time. It is absolutely impossible to repeat the same trick now."
"Going to Wuhun Mountain at this time is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. If we act recklessly, let alone rescuing them, we ourselves will have to take care of ourselves in Wuhun Mountain. There is no need for Wumen and other major families to besiege Snow Demon Mountain again.
." Mr. Yan also disagreed.
Du Xuan wanted to go to Wuhun Mountain to rescue Zhong Nan and the others, but neither Mr. Zeng nor the other three agreed. In fact, what Mr. Zeng, Mr. Yu and Mr. Yan said were all reasonable.
When Zeng Lao ignored the objections of Ji Lao and others, he forced himself into danger and successfully rescued Du Xuan, but it was only because Tong Lao and other martial arts cultivators did not know that even though the people in Snow Demon Mountain were hiding the aura of demon cultivators, they could still cast magic.
You must know that although the previous demon cultivators were able to temporarily suppress and hide the demonic energy and demonic consciousness by using elixirs, they were unable to mobilize and use the demonic energy and demonic consciousness.
But now, as Yu Lao said, it is absolutely impossible to repeat the old tricks.
Zeng Lao looked at Du Xuan who was slightly bowing his head and said nothing, worried in his heart. Although Qiu Peng did not have much friendship with Du Xuan, Zhong Nan was his good friend. It was also because he wanted to return to Du City to save people that he was just arrested.
Among those who were captured was Long Wanshan. Not only because he was captured, but also because he went to the Kongtong Mountains with him, he became a useless person. Moreover, it was precisely because of this that he was captured by a mere disciple of the Demon Valley.
Moreover, now that Xie Ming has actually betrayed him, this will make Du Xuan cherish Zhong Nan and Long Wanshan even more, and does not want to let himself betray these two friends.
"I'll go by myself." Sure enough, Du Xuan, who was silent for a moment, said calmly, "When I go down the mountain and go to Jingwu City to make a noise, you can take the opportunity to go to the Endless Ocean. This will also buy you some time."
The three people were in an uproar.
Yu Lao and Yan Lao looked at each other. If Du Xuan made a big fuss in Jingwu City alone, and then went to Wuhun Mountain, he could indeed divert the attention of everyone in Snow Demon Mountain and delay some time. However, this would undoubtedly make the demon cultivator unprecedented.
, the best and most likely disciple of the Demon Saint lost his life.
Mr. Zeng raised his head, let out a long breath, and looked helpless. Over the years, he had also gotten to know Du Xuan. Du Xuan was stubborn and the decisions he made were almost unchangeable.
Helpless, Mr. Zeng thought for a moment, then looked at Mr. Yu and asked, "Uncle Yu, how long will it take for that magic weapon to be refined?"
"This... it should be just these few days." When Mr. Yu heard this, he understood that Mr. Zeng had already agreed or had stopped trying to persuade Du Xuan. "After we worked together to refine the last magic trick last time, Gu Yan was there.
The equipment was put together three days ago and has been refined for two days and one night."
Du Xuan soon understood that the so-called magic weapon should be the magic weapon that Mr. Zeng had said before, which was more powerful than the Blazing White Tiger Battle.
"The tenth day of next month is the day when Wumen will ask and kill them. The most I can do is wait until the first day of next month." Du Xuan stood up, turned around and left after speaking.
Looking at Du Xuan's lonely back, Yu Lao sighed: "Hey! There are still ten days before the first day of next month. If nothing happens, he can definitely refine it. However, how can he learn those three kinds before the tenth day of next month?
New magic!"
"Yes! Besides, these three new magics only make the Blazing White Tiger Battle more perfect, but they are not enough for Du Xuan and Tong Lao to compete!" Yan Lao also shook his head and sighed.
Of course Mr. Zeng understands this truth, but now it is impossible to persuade Du Xuan. He has already made his own decision in his heart. He paused and said seriously: "Uncle Yu, Uncle Yan, we are going to the Endless Ocean this time.
I want the disciples below to make their own choices. Those who want to go can go, and those who don’t want to go can find another way to make a living. If you are willing to follow Du Xuan to Wuhun Mountain, that’s fine too!”
"good!"
"good."
The two of them pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Shangguange Longxiang City.
Yuchi Lanhua carried her child back to the city where the Yuchi family was located, but she did not go home. Instead, she found a small inn to stay, still dressed like a village girl.
Late at night, when the hustle and bustle in the city had subsided and everything was quiet, Yuchi Lanhua quietly left the inn with her child in her arms and quickly rushed to the not far away seat of the Yuchi family.
The high walls with dark red glazed tiles still look so familiar and friendly in this night. Every corner of the compound is very familiar to Yuchi Orchid.
Crossing the high wall and stepping on the ridge of the roof, Yuchi Lanhua held her son and easily bypassed the patrolling guards in the courtyard and arrived at the patriarch's courtyard. The patriarch of the Yuchi family is also the second master who loves Yuchi Lanhua the most since he was a child. Luo
In the courtyard, Yuchi Orchid couldn't help but feel melancholy and hesitant. Sometimes she looked affectionately at her son who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and sometimes she looked around at the familiar plants and trees around her.
"Who!" Suddenly, an angry shout came from the dark room.
Yuchi Lanhua, whose thoughts were wandering, suddenly came back to reality, quickly put down her son in her arms, and jumped into the air. When the Yuchi family patriarch opened the door and came out, he left the Yuchi family compound and headed directly towards Jingwu City.
