To the northeast of the Tianping Mountains, a huge flood came from the Arctic Icefield countless years ago. After it merged into the Ye Xuan River, it caused the river to burst.
There are legends that floods washed over the area repeatedly for dozens of days, but there is also a saying that the floods were not measured in days, but in years.
According to another theory, each giant iceberg washed down from the Far North Ice Sheet is as big as a small mountain. During the continuous collision and erosion process, the mountain that was originally in the northeast of Tianping Mountain gradually disappeared. When the flood finally receded, it was exposed here.
A vast plain.
Perhaps because of the erosion of the river, or perhaps because of the ice carried by the far north ice sheet, this land has become extremely lush since then. It can be said that in the countless years that followed, various monsters in the Tianping Mountains continued to grow and expand,
They are all closely related to this plain.
The significance of this plain to the monster clan is second only to the inheritance land in the core area of the Tianping Mountains. But just a thousand years ago, Zhentian, the king of the Tianping Mountains, broke through the eight-door locking formation.
Unexpectedly, not only was he unable to return, but even a large number of monsters under his leadership were not able to return.
Such a huge loss directly caused the monster clan in the Tianping Mountains to be in a state of insecurity. Some of them were stuck in a certain realm and could not improve the monsters that were getting older. The other part was just like Nifeng, who had not yet reached the level.
Mature cubs.
Although the Ye Lin Empire had an agreement, when the two parties were no longer on the same level, the original agreement was no longer binding. And as more and more benefits were obtained in the northeastern plain of Tianping Mountain, Ye Lin
The empire also began to become increasingly greedy and unscrupulous.
At first, hunting teams were only sent in, but later cities were built directly in the plains, gradually encroaching on the plains and adding them to human territory.
In addition to the most representative city of Shinkari, the two most famous and important cities to the Yelin Empire are Hongcheng near the north and the Acropolis in the southeast.
These two cities are like two nails, firmly nailed to the Tianping Plain, more like the two incisors of Xinkou County. Countless warriors from the Ye Lin Empire use these two cities as their bases to constantly fight against each other.
Monster hunting is carried out in the plains and further inside Tianping Mountain.
After eight consecutive days of traveling, a huge flying team composed of dozens of Fire Cloud Eagles appeared on the Tianping Plain.
These dozens of Fire Cloud Eagles were exhausted one by one, and some of them even needed to rely on the beast energy released by other Fire Cloud Eagles to barely keep moving forward.
Although the people on the back of the Fire Cloud Eagle did not need to be responsible for flying, they all looked very haggard and dusty.
All the strong men of Benxiao Pavilion, including Wu Tian, had been traveling for almost twenty days in a row. It originally took them thirteen days to get from Xinshou County to Licheng, and they didn't even have time to rest in Licheng.
If it's late, I'll leave immediately and turn back.
If it were not for the help or use of flying, even an iron-clad warrior would have a hard time persisting until now.
Zeng Han came slowly behind Wu Tian, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Pavilion Master, we should reach the Acropolis not far ahead. We have traveled for so long. Even if people can bear it, I am afraid that this Fire Cloud Eagle will have to bear it."
I can’t hold on any longer, do you think we are..."
Before Zeng Han could finish his words, he saw Wu Tian suddenly turning around and looking at him with a cold light in his eyes. Facing Wu Tian's burning eyes, Zeng Han could only swallow back all the words that followed.
In fact, he knew very well that on the way from Licheng, Wu Tian had always suppressed his anger and did not explode towards him. The idea of returning to Xinshou County first and attacking Zuo Feng's parents was proposed by him.
.
But walking along the road for eight days tortured Xing Yezui for eight days. However, no matter how tortured he was, Xing Yezui would grit his teeth and refuse to say a word, which also left Zeng Han helpless.
If it were someone else, not to mention severe punishment, it would not be impossible to kill him directly. But Zeng Han is the junior pavilion master after all, especially after losing Lin Hu, Zeng Han's existence is obviously more important.
Although he felt a little helpless in his heart, Zeng Han was also very calm. No one expected that Xing Yezui would be such a tough guy. Moreover, Zeng Han had not given up on his original plan, but Wu Tian was obviously in a very moody mood now.
Unfortunately, this prevented him from finding a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with Wu Tian.
It seemed that because of Zeng Han's calmness, Wu Tian's anger subsided a little. He turned his head and looked behind him. His eyes mainly fell on the Fire Cloud Eagles that were struggling to fly at this time.
With his strength at the peak of qi cultivation, he could detect the status of every Fire Cloud Eagle around him carefully. As his detection range became larger and larger, the status of more and more Fire Cloud Eagles were clearly reflected in his mind.
After that, the eyebrows were also deeply knitted.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Tian reluctantly nodded and said, "Go ahead and stop at the acropolis in front for repairs. The beast master will go to the city to collect the veterinary medicine and distribute it to all Fire Cloud Eagles."
At this point, he paused slightly, his eyes fell on Boka and others not far away, and added, "The drug distribution also includes Donglin County, let them come and collect it on their own."
After receiving the order, Zeng Han hurriedly passed on the news. Although everyone did not dare to show it too obviously, after hearing Wu Tian's order, everyone's faces showed unconcealable joy.
"We are about to arrive at Shinkari County now, and it won't be long before we meet the two priests. At that time, we must give an explanation. Things in Licheng have become what they are now. I will give you this explanation.
Have you figured out how to give it?"
Looking at Zeng Han who was flying back again, Wu Tian said with a layer of frost on his face. When he spoke, his eyes were always looking solemnly at the distance. That was where the Xinkou County City was, and where the two of them were.
The location of the priest.
As if he had been waiting for Wu Tian's inquiry for a long time, Zeng Han replied without any hesitation, "This time the task of Licheng was not handled well. There are many reasons for this, and the biggest variable among them is the eight-door locking formation.
Who would have thought that a formation that has not changed significantly for thousands of years would suddenly be controlled by someone."
"Humph" glared dissatisfied, Wu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Are you planning to answer in this way? Do you think you can fool the two priests with just such words?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zeng Han said, "This is not a lie, but a statement of a fact. I will not evade responsibility, but since it is a fact, of course I have to say it. The idea of returning to Shinkari County was mine.
, I will not deny this, and I will never evade the responsibility held by the two priests."
Hearing what Zeng Han said, Wu Tian's complexion finally improved slightly. This time, the matter was too serious. Nearly two hundred warriors from the Benxiao Pavilion were beheaded, and a small pavilion master had his arms disabled.
He simply did not have the courage to take responsibility for the losses.
Now that he heard what Zeng Han said, Wu Tian felt a little guilty. He was the one who sent Linhu and others out, and he was also the one who caused huge losses. Although Zeng Han made suggestions, it was still he who finally decided to come to Xinshou County.
Own.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian's expression softened slightly, and he turned to ask, "It's less than two days' journey to Xinkou County. If the two priests get the news, I believe they can come in less than half a day."
When the time comes, how will you face them?"
Zeng Han thought for a while and said, "I didn't expect Xing Yezui to be so harsh, but even if he didn't say anything, we still have to deal with Zuo Feng, and according to my thinking, we can do two things next."
His eyes flashed slightly, and Wu Tian originally guessed that Zeng Han had an idea, otherwise he would not have hesitated to take responsibility, but he did not expect that the other party would think of two things at the same time.
"What is it all about? Please tell me." Wu Tian asked impatiently.
Zeng Han raised his head and glanced ahead, then said, "The first thing is to let out the news. Zuo Feng's parents and relatives have been captured by us. We can use some means to let out the news overtly or covertly through various channels."
"this……"
Wu Tian had some doubts in his heart. He still didn't know where Zuo Feng's parents and relatives were placed. But he just wanted to tell the problem, but he suddenly realized it.
"Yes, since it was Xing Yezui who was responsible for relocating his family, and Xing Yezui is now in our hands, then as long as the news is released, he will not believe it."
Following Zeng Han's train of thought, Wu Tian continued, "In this way, as long as he gets the news, even if he dares not expose the road, he will definitely come to check. Then we can wait and see."
Nodding, Zeng Han smiled and said, "Exactly."
"What about the other thing?" Wu Tian asked.
Zeng Han said calmly, "I set out to return to Licheng first, and specifically asked Xinjuncheng through the communication formation. According to the records of the year, Xing Yezui had been to Xinshou County many years ago.
, but they have not entered Xingkari County. Instead, they have been active in other cities, the two most frequent places being Acropolis and Hongcheng."
His eyes suddenly condensed. Even Wu Tian didn't know that Zeng Han deliberately rushed back to Licheng. Not only did he want to gather the people who stayed in the city, but he had already contacted the intelligence station in Xingkou County.
"No wonder Xing Yezui has always refused to spit, and you didn't seem too anxious. So there is another reason?" Wu Tian took a deep look at Zeng Han and said at the same time, his tone seemed to be both appreciative and mixed with a hint of sourness.
Zeng Han shook his head and said, "At that time, I was just in case of any eventuality. In order to think about victory, I thought about defeat first, and I always had to keep all kinds of variables in mind. Now the goal can be determined, which is the pun of Xinqiu County.
Acropolis and Hongcheng, these two cities must be tightly sealed from now on."
After a brief silence, Wu Tian said in a deep voice, "Okay, this is the first thing we will do after returning to Shinkari County!"
