The wind and sand rolled over the barren land, and not a single person was visible.
This place is less than a hundred miles away from Qingqiu Mountain. Looking around, you can faintly see a white ridgeline in the distance.
Half a day later, Qingqiu Mountains.
The last of the eight lords, the nine-tailed fox king Shangguan Hong, has inherited Qingqiu's ten thousand-year ambition and rules the mountains and valleys with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Nowadays, wars are frequent, and the atmosphere inside and outside Qingqiu Mountain is also tense. Secret sentries in the mountains and forests are sent one after another, all the way to Qingqiu.
At this moment, a young man in black clothes wearing a silver mask was flying on the road to Qingqiu Mountain.
The Nine-tailed Fox King is the target of Bai Yunsheng's lobbying.
But the situation seemed to be worse than he expected.
Speaking of snow, in the Yidi Mountain Demonic Domain, only Qingqiu Mountain can find traces of snowflakes.
The continuous snow-capped mountains create a wonderful wave under the blue-black sky.
The snow in Qingqiu Mountain is less pure and pure than the snow in Wuyun Mountain, and more evil and ghostly. Silvery white snowflakes are piled on the mountain peaks, dotted with the savage world of monsters.
Qingqiu City is one of the few small cities in this mountainous area, and it is also very popular in the snowy region.
The war was ruthless. Although the Nine-tailed Fox King chose to remain neutral, the guards guarding the city were still lined up ten miles outside the city.
On a cold autumn morning, Bai Yunsheng wore a Fengyun mask and sneaked into the city quietly.
After entering the city, he showed his figure. There were so many monsters and monsters in the city that it was not easy to identify him.
It's just that a white-haired weirdo wearing a silver mask suddenly appears on the street, which always attracts attention.
Bai Yunsheng walked leisurely on the street, but in fact he was full of vigilance.
In this time of war, there is really no room for carelessness. Once his identity is exposed, it will be difficult to escape with his current cultivation.
Not long after, in order to avoid the eyes of passers-by, Bai Yunsheng bought a bamboo hat from a street stall and covered his strange face. He wanted to find a place to stay first and wait until dark before exploring Qingqiu Mountain at night.
Just after walking through a street entering the city, the trivial sounds of people suddenly started to boil.
Bai Yunsheng pressed his hat and reluctantly wormed his way into the crowd, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped back by black steel guns.
"Back off! Back off! Everyone back off!"
Shouting came from the mouths of the gun-wielding demon soldiers, and a group of black-armored soldiers were seen driving away the crowd fiercely.
"Back off!"
Soon, the black-armored soldiers lined up in front of the crowd and opened a clear path.
"The Lord of the City is here!"
With a loud roar, a luxurious carriage drove slowly from the depths of the street.
The demon cultivators standing around him knelt down to greet him, and only a few high-level people remained standing.
"This city lord is so powerful."
Bai Yunsheng spat disdainfully in his heart, taking advantage of the chaos to turn his karma around, using the Fengyun Mask to hide his figure and aura, and hid behind the crowd.
Looking along the crowd, I saw eight majestic snow dragon horses in front and behind pulling a vermilion carriage steadily, slowly passing by Bai Yunsheng.
The carriage was so quiet that Bai Yunsheng didn't dare to detect it with karma. He didn't know the depth of the city lord. It would be bad if he was exposed.
However, Bai Yunsheng glanced at the two black-armored soldiers standing in front of him. A cold light flashed in his pupils, and what the two black-armored soldiers were thinking was immediately transmitted to his mind.
On the way to Qingqiu Mountain, Bai Yunsheng spent one night to roughly understand the first level of Tsukuyomi of the Sky-Peeping Technique. He never had the chance to use it, but he could not wait to give it a try.
However, under the bamboo hat, Bai Yunsheng's face gradually changed from normal to gloomy.
The soldier on the left said in his heart: "The Lord of the City is really just an envoy. How can he mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?"
The soldier on the right said in his heart: "Hey, they are indeed one of the eight royal families, but their style is different. Even a mere envoy has to be greeted by the city lord himself."
The soldier on the left said in his heart: "I heard that Jin Tu's army is overwhelming and has approached the main peak of Yidi Mountain. It seems that this time they are here to persuade them to surrender..."
…
Before he could finish reading the last few words of this sentence, Bai Yunsheng's head suddenly shook. Waves of strong dizziness suddenly surged through his consciousness. His body was like that of an alcoholic who had just been drunk.
Expose whereabouts.
Bai Yunsheng seized the last moment of sobriety, reluctantly took the Seven Killing Steps, and quietly withdrew from the crowd.
After going through several alleys, he finally stumbled into an alley, covering his head in pain with his hands, huddled in the corner and breathing heavily.
Bai Yunsheng resisted the urge to gag, and tears were already squeezing out of his eyes.
After a while, the chaos in my head calmed down a little.
Only then did he remember Yin Yisheng's words: "Be sure not to abuse this monthly reading technique."
After a while, he finally regained some consciousness. Bai Yunsheng said to himself with lingering fear: "Without the Sky Eye, this magic is really not that easy to perform."
At this time, Bai Yunsheng recalled what he had read from the hearts of the two soldiers.
"It seems that the Phantom Blade is still no match for the Demon Locking Tower. That Jin Tu moved fast enough and actually arrived at Qingqiu Mountain before me."
Bai Yunsheng quickly organized his thoughts. Now he must make a choice immediately. This trip to Qingqiu must not be in vain again.
"Go to the city lord's palace to meet them first and listen to what the envoy said."
With Fengyun Mask on him, Bai Yunsheng quickly made a very bold decision - to explore the city lord's palace first.
He is now far away from the battlefield ahead. Since Jin Tu's envoy is here, he might be able to get some unexpected news.
Bai Yunsheng disappeared and jumped out of the alley, but instead of running towards Qinggan Garden where the city lord's palace was located, he zigzagged through the city and arrived in front of a drug store in Bilang Garden.
Danyipu.
There is a dark yellow plaque on the door of the store, and there is not a single customer in the narrow store, making it very deserted.
The skinny shopkeeper was humming a tune in a daze, closing his eyes on a recliner to relax.
Bai Yunsheng didn't knock on the door, but walked directly to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper with his eyes closed seemed to know everything in the store very well. He closed his eyes and said, "What medicine do you want to grab, sir?"
Bai Yunsheng looked around the drug store. There was a medicine cabinet in a small room, and the paint had been peeled off.
He looked back and forth several times before saying, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy a sycamore tree."
The shopkeeper still had his eyes closed, rocking the recliner, and asked: "There are sycamore trees, how many do you want?"
Bai Yunsheng chuckled under the mask and said, "I want a jade sycamore tree!"
The shopkeeper, who was lying peacefully, suddenly opened his eyes, with a pair of sharp eyes on his thin face, staring at Bai Yunsheng, who was wearing a silver mask, and said in a cold voice:
"Who is your Excellency?"
Bai Yunsheng took out the token Jing Hao gave him before leaving and showed it in front of the shopkeeper.
"thump."
The young shopkeeper knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My subordinate, Huang Buzhan, pays homage to the secret envoy!"
Bai Yunsheng put away the Lord's Order and said coldly: "Get up, I have something to ask you."
Huang BuZhan stood up neatly, bowed and said: "Sir, please speak, I will tell you everything I know."
Bai Yunsheng asked in a deep voice: "Jing Hao's coalition forces have been retreating?"
Huang Buzhan said truthfully: "Yes, Jintu has the Demon Locking Tower to help, which is like a tiger with more wings. According to my subordinates, Lord Jing Hao's army has retreated to Langya Ridge, which is less than 800 miles away from the main peak of Yidi Mountain."
Bai Yunsheng thought to himself: "Even if the Phantom Blade is no match for the Demon Locking Tower, it cannot be defeated so quickly. Could it be that there are experts around Jin Tu to help him?"
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately thought of the Three Ancient Clan that Yin Yisheng told him.
"Could it be that the Earth Beast Tribe showed up?"
Bai Yunsheng didn't wait for this idea to be established, and immediately said quickly: "Huang Buzhan, how many of us are there in Qingqiu City?"
"Including subordinates, there are still eighteen people."
Bai Yunsheng didn't speak any more and paced back and forth in the dark room.
After thinking for a while, he stopped, took out the Lord's Order, handed it to Huang Buzhan, and ordered:
"You immediately find ten people, instruct them to rush to Langya Ridge in ten directions, and secretly tell Lord Jing Hao not to rush in, but to hold on until the end and wait for any news from me. Then you go to Zhaoyao Mountain yourself."
"yes!"
Although Huang Buzhan had doubts in his heart, why did this young man speak in such a fierce tone, he did not take Jing Hao, the leader of the eight lords, seriously at all.
But he didn't think much about it because his mission was just to follow orders.
"By the way, go find me a map of the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible."
That night, Bai Yunsheng randomly picked up an inn and stayed there.
