"Ahead is Kongming Mountain, where the disciples of the Eternal Demon Sect now live. I have already ordered people to prepare a residence for Lord Xiao Ji. Please come with me, Lord Xiao Ji."
The steward of the Zhulong Sect took Xiao Ji and others into the mountains.
But then Lin Bai heard the noisy voices of a group of warriors coming from the mountain road behind him. Although their voices were not loud, Lin Bai could clearly hear them due to the extraordinary quietness in Kongming Mountain.
Not only Lin Bai heard this, Xiao Ji also frowned and looked back.
I saw a group of warriors on the forest trail behind me. About twenty people came menacingly, with anger on their faces.
"Elder Huang Hang is so confused, why don't you let us take action?"
"We all come from Lianzhou, how can we just watch the warriors from Xuanzhou act so recklessly on our territory?"
"Elder Huang Hang is too worried. According to me, it's time for us to take action and kill the Xuanzhou warriors by surprise."
"Isn't the Scarlet Moon Divine Sect secretly helping Xuanzhou? But why did Elder Huang Hang not agree to our action?"
"Brothers, in my opinion, we can simply run out secretly and there is no need to listen to Elder Huang Hang's words."
"That's right, we are participating in the war as Lianzhou warriors and will never implicate the Eternal Demon Sect."
"That's right, senior brother, that's it!"
"..."
This group of people came to Lin Bai and Xiao Ji noisily.
The Zhulong Sect steward hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted, but Xiao Ji smiled and said: "Li Yumen, what made you so angry?"
"Xiao Ji? You're here." Among the more than twenty people, a young man walked in front of them. He stood out like a star holding the moon, and Lin Bai saw him at a glance.
This man looks to be about thirty years old. He has a strong body and a strong body. He walks with wind in his sleeves and has an extraordinary momentum. His face is unremarkable. He is not handsome, but he is not ugly either.
He is Li Yumen, a famous genius in the land of Lianzhou.
"Senior Brother Xiao Ji."
"I've met senior brother Xiao Ji."
Except for Li Yumen, the other warriors all clasped their fists and saluted after seeing Xiao Ji.
Li Yumen walked over angrily, put his arm around Xiao Ji's shoulders, and said angrily: "Xiao Ji, you came just in time, pack up, and leave the Zhulong Sect with me immediately and go to the land of Lianzhou.
As a state warrior, I will kill all the Xuanzhou warriors who invaded Lianzhou!"
Xiao Ji hid his face and smiled bitterly. He had a close friendship with Li Yumen when he was in the Eternal Demon Sect, and he also knew that this person's character had always been vigorous and resolute. After returning to Lianzhou this time, he must have felt angry when he saw the scorched earth all over Lianzhou.
He couldn't wait to expel the Xuanzhou warriors who invaded Lianzhou.
Xiao Ji knew that Li Yumen and the others were angry, and if he tried to persuade him bluntly, it would be counterproductive, so he smiled and said: "I just came to the Zhulong Sect without stopping, and you want me to follow you right away? Could it be that you are from the Zhulong Sect?"
As a distinguished disciple of the sect, why don’t you invite me to have a drink?”
Li Yumen frowned and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, okay, let's go for a walk and have a drink. After finishing the drink, I will go out to kill Xuanzhou alone, and run away with his head in his arms."
"Let's go drink!"
Li Yumen put his arm around Xiao Ji's shoulders and walked towards Kongming Mountain.
Seeing the close appearance of these two people, Lin Bai also guessed that Xiao Ji and Li Yumen had a close relationship.
After all, the two of them once had a life-and-death friendship in the secret realm of Star Reaching, where they worked together to steal food from the jaws of warriors from several other continents.
After the Zhulong Sect steward arranged a residence for Lin Bai and others, Xiao Ji took Lin Bai to Li Yumen's courtyard.
When Lin Bai and Xiao Ji arrived, Li Yumen and other Eternal Demon Sect disciples had already drank a lot of wine, and there were empty wine bottles all over the floor.
Lin Bai didn't say anything and followed Xiao Ji quietly.
Xiao Ji picked up a wine jar on the ground and shook it. There was still some wine in it, so he raised it and took a sip. He sat next to Li Yumen and asked, "Tell me, why are you so angry?"
While talking, Xiao Ji picked up a pot of good wine, handed it to Lin Bai, and motioned for Lin Bai to sit next to him.
Li Yumen angrily threw the wine jar in his hand on the ground, smashing it into pieces: "Just now our Zhulong Sect's spies reported that among the warriors in Xuanzhou attacking Lianzhou, there were disciples of the Red Moon Sect who secretly helped."
"If the warriors of Xuanzhou and the warriors of Lianzhou go to war, and only warriors from the two states participate in the war, we will let it go. After all, if our Eternal Demon Sect disciples join the war, the war will be escalated to the next level."
"But the Scarlet Moon Divine Sect has intervened. We suggested that Elder Huang Hang let us take action. Even if we don't help Lianzhou, let us go to meet the disciples of the Scarlet Moon Divine Sect. However, Elder Huang Hang refused to agree, saying that this was the Red Moon Sect's disciples.
The Moon God Sect’s treacherous plan, why are they just waiting for us to take action?”
"As a result, I had a big fight with Elder Huang Hang in the meeting hall."
Xiao Ji's face darkened and he murmured to himself: "Let me tell you, even if Xuanzhou is stronger than Lianzhou, it will not be able to continuously capture dozens of important cities in Lianzhou in just half a year.
It turns out that there are disciples of the Red Moon Divine Sect secretly helping behind the scenes."
Other disciples of the Eternal Demon Sect were also very angry: "Senior Brother Xiao Ji, you are saying that we are still having to endure it when people are pooping and peeing on our necks?"
"Elder Huang Hang won't let us take action? Does he think we are inferior to the disciples of the Scarlet Moon Sect?"
"Although we have traveled far away from Lianzhou to study under the Eternal Demon Sect, in the final analysis we are still warriors in Lianzhou. Our family, sect, relatives and friends are all in Lianzhou. How can we just sit back and watch this matter?"
"No, I really can't swallow this bad breath."
The other disciples roared angrily.
The warriors in the audience were all furious and looked like they were ready to go out and fight the Xuanzhou warriors.
Xiao Ji smiled bitterly, turned back to Lin Bai and asked, "Qingluo, what do you think?"
Lin Bai pondered for a while: "The most interesting thing is...why do the disciples of the Scarlet Moon Sect help each other secretly?"
"Xuanzhou is one of the eighteen states under the command of the Scarlet Moon Sect. The disciples of the Scarlet Moon Sect help Xuanzhou. They don't need to be secretive at all. They can act openly and openly, but they did not do so."
"But Xuanzhou's ability to invite the disciples of the Scarlet Moon Sect to help obviously has the approval of the Scarlet Moon Sect."
"That is to say... the Red Moon Divine Sect and Lianzhou came prepared. They secretly helped Xuanzhou, but they exposed their flaws for the Zhulong Sect to find out, just to let the Eternal Demon Sect take action first..."
"Brother Xiao Ji, once the disciples of the Eternal Demon Sect take action, the war will escalate. It will not only be a war between Xuanzhou and Lianzhou, but also a war between the Eternal Demon Sect and the Scarlet Moon Sect."
Xiao Ji nodded gloomily. What Lin Bai said was what he was thinking.
"Li Yumen, did you hear that? This is indeed a trap, just waiting for you to jump in." Xiao Ji patted Li Yumen's shoulder and said with a smile.
Li Yumen frowned and looked at Lin Bai: "Who is this person? I remember that he seems to have been following you since he entered Kongming Mountain, right? Is he your servant?"
Xiao Ji glanced at Lin Bai and said with a smile: "His name is Qing Luo, the eldest son of the Qing family in Qingshui City. He was favored by the Eternal Demon Sect a few years ago and is considered a registered disciple. I brought him here this time."
I want to meet Elder Huang Hang and follow you back to the Eternal Demon Sect."
"Qing Luo, come to meet all the senior brothers."
Lin Bai stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Qing Luo, pay homage to all the senior brothers."
Xiao Ji chuckled and said: "Li Yumen, let me tell you, even though Qing Luo is only at the quasi-Dao realm, he is... very strong!"
