"Looking at the traces left here, it seems that there are a lot of people. In this way, the news I received when I rushed out of the opponent's formation is true, and the demon lizard that was snatched from the Zhao family is also related to this group of people." Another The old man suddenly said angrily.
"I'm afraid that's probably the case! If those people are also the companions of those two, I'm afraid that the cultivation base and supernatural powers are indeed not something that our disciples can stop. It seems that the Zhao family has already fallen into the eyes of others. Our actions yesterday were deliberately lured away by Zhao. From the castle. Those monster lizards are their main targets. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have escaped into the Magic Howling Desert so quickly.” The old man who spoke first sighed helplessly.
"Where did these thieves come from, they dared to attack our Zhao family. We can't just let it go, this revenge must be avenged! Otherwise, how will our Zhao family gain a foothold in Illusory Night City in the future!" Another old man, He said even more gritted his teeth.
"Revenge? I'm afraid it's not an easy task. Although the two people who led us out only showed their cultivation level, I'm afraid it's not their true cultivation level." The old man who spoke first, shook his head and replied.
"Brother, what you mean is that those two are also demon-level existences. Could it be that the people who broke into our Zhao family have similar cultivation levels! If so, it's no wonder that they treat our Zhao family castle as nothing and dare to attack the demon lizard." But when did we have such a group of old monsters in Illusory Night City, why haven’t we received any news?” Another old man thought about it and took a breath.
"It's hard to say. The accomplices of those two guys may be just a group of their subordinates. But even so, these two people's cultivation bases alone are not inferior to you and me, and they have already penetrated into the Phantom Howl Desert. I am afraid that it will be very difficult to get this justice back. It is not surprising that they have not received the slightest related rumors before. They either concealed their cultivation base and true colors, or simply stayed outside the city, and had never entered the city before. From Illusory Night City." The old man spoke first but said after a while.
"Is it really going to be like this?" Another old man said with an angry look again.
"According to the information received, the accomplices of those two people did not start a massacre in Zhaojiabao, only a few insignificant disciples were killed by them. And the few demon lizards lost this time, although very important to our Zhao family , but it will not shake the foundation of our Zhao family. As for the problem of reputation, we will find a few people who are not pleasing to the eye and kill them. Just treat them as the accomplices of that group of people and show them to the public." An old man said gloomyly, as if he had thought about it a long time ago.
"Doing this, isn't it a bit self-deceiving! I can't bear this tone." Another old man said after hearing the words, after being stunned for a while, he still stomped his feet.
"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it! You and I are the only two remaining backers of the Zhao family. If something happens to either of them, the Zhao family may decline. For the prosperity of the Zhao family, we can only swallow this breath But if the hatred in my heart is really hard to get rid of, you don’t need me to do it, you can kill someone with a knife.” The first old man said with a dark face.
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" The old man who spoke after that changed his expression, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"That's right. You can go back and contact the people in the Beast Venerable Palace and ask them to make a move for us. As for the reward for the shot, you can use a reserve of magic stones in the clan. But as the saying goes, no matter whether the Beast Venerable Palace can really succeed , but the employment is only this time. Even if that group of people is unscathed, I will not allow you to use other means to trouble them! And when you contact the Beast Hall, don't reveal our identities." The first old man Sermon with a straight face.
"Brother, don't worry, I know how to do it. Hehe, if the group of monsters in the Beast Venerable Hall make a move, even if these people don't die, they will definitely lose a layer of skin. If this magic stone is spent, the Zhao family may be in danger." It’s been a long time.” The other old man was overjoyed at first, and then said with some reluctance.
"Huh, those old monsters are not inferior to you and me in every level of cultivation, and their fighting experience is not comparable to that of ordinary demons like you and me. The rewards for hiring them are not too outrageous. But let them It is unrealistic to enter the Huanxiao Desert to chase down those people, we can only wait for them to come out, and then let the Beast Venerable Palace do it." The first old man said with a snort.
"That's fine, as long as the Beast Venerable Hall sends people to monitor the cities near the Huanxiao Desert, they will always be able to find traces of that group of people, but they don't know what they will do when they enter the Huanxiao Desert Come out." Another old man said with a ferocious face.
"I've already planned to bleed a lot. It doesn't matter if I add a little more. Let's set a deadline of a hundred years. If this group of people can stay in the desert for a hundred years, the magic stone will be given to the Beast Hall for nothing. What's the matter. It's not too late, let's go back to the city right away, let's split up." The first old man glanced deeply at the sandy land in the distance, and said without hesitation.
The other old man naturally had no objection to this.
As a result, the demonic energy on the surface of the two of them rolled immediately, turned into two balls of black light and flew up through the air, heading straight for Illusory Night City and shooting back.
As for this Phantom Howling Desert, after Han Li and the others entered, it had been four full months before the disciples of the Fang Clan, another big family in Illusory Night City, carefully re-entered the desert with a few monster lizards. At this time, the commotion in Illusory Night City caused by the Zhao family's monster lizard being robbed has gradually subsided.
After some investigation, the two Demon Lords of the Zhao family found that this incident was vaguely related to Han Li's disappearance, but without evidence, they naturally wouldn't say anything more.
In this way, time passed quickly. Year after year, the four major families still stand in the Magic Night City, but no one has mentioned what happened to the Zhao family back then.
In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed.
On this day, at an extremely desolate edge of the Huan Xiao Desert, there was a strong wind and sand, and the gray gusts rushed straight to the edge of the sky, as if turning this area into a sea of hurricanes. Under the grayness, it was impossible to see Clear anything in the wind.
Suddenly, there was a wave in the hurricane, and several giant monsters jumped out of it, and landed firmly on the solid ground.
And these monsters have eight short and thick limbs under their stomachs, like giant lizards magnified more than ten times, but they are full of dust, and there are nine figures sitting on them.
It was Han Li and others who entered the Magic Howl Desert from the direction of Magic Night City decades ago.
However, after such a long journey, there were only five of the original ten monster lizards left, and most of the people could only share one of them.
Judging from the appearance, Han Li and the ancestors of the Long family are the same as they were decades ago. At this moment, most of their faces are full of excited expressions.
"Finally I got out of this damn desert. I have been seeing the same scene for decades, it is really unbearable. I have never felt so difficult in a retreat for a hundred years before." The girl in feathers let out a long breath and smiled broadly. said, Dayou felt that he had finally escaped from the sea of suffering.
"Traveling in the desert for decades is indeed a hard job. What's more, the three major evils in the Phantom Howling Desert have almost caused us to encounter several times, and even half of the eight-legged monster lizards have failed. Keep it safe." The Qianqiu Saintess, who was riding on the same monster lizard but sitting behind the girl in feather clothes, said lightly.
The passing of these decades seems to have no effect on this saint of the spirit race.
"However, the most dangerous thing is the Sand Shadow Beast in the late stage of fusion. It will hang behind us for several years, and it will not stop attacking. If Fellow Daoist Han hadn't used his supernatural powers in the end, he would kill it in one blow. Kill me. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this desert so easily." The Holy Maiden of Qianqiu suddenly glanced at Han Li and said with a strange expression on her face.
"Fairy Qianqiu is too polite! If it weren't for the sand shadow beast that fellow Taoist 'Zhishui' is entangled with supernatural powers, how would I have the chance to make a move." Han Li glanced at Ling Ling who was not far away. The youth of the ethnic group replied with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Hehe, the shadowy sand beast is elusive, and it is naturally the joint contribution of Brother Han and Fellow Daoist Zhishui. Now, I have finally walked out of the Magic Howling Desert, and we will start to split up according to the original agreed plan. Let's act." After putting away those monster lizards, the ancestor of the Long family said with a loud laugh.
"Han has no objection!" Han Li said with a slight smile after looking back at the gray wind and sand behind him.
A year ago, when they were still in the desert, they discussed all the specific plans after they got out of the desert.
Although the Phantom Howling Desert is known as a forbidden area for ordinary demons.
But for them as a group of fit monks, it can be called a little dangerous at best. The only thing that made him a little depressed was that in the second half of the journey, in order to kill a monster that was very good at hiding, he revealed a little bit of his true supernatural power, which happened to be seen by others.
This made the ancestors of the Long family and the other spirit clans such as Qianqiu Saintess more polite to them, and a little bit afraid of them!
Han Li naturally could only turn a blind eye to the slight changes in other people's attitudes towards him.
At this time, Qianqiu Saintess and other spirit clan members also agreed to the suggestion of the ancestor of the Long family.
As a result, a group of people was actually here, and immediately divided into several waves and soared into the sky, each of them drove the escape light and walked in different directions.
The plan they agreed upon was quite simple. In order to prevent those who wanted to follow them, the group of people separated again and acted on their own during the long journey from the Huanxiao Desert to the Moyuan Sea.
Of course, even if the route is different, the final destination is still the Devil Origin Sea.
Although doing so will disperse their strength, it will be less likely to attract the attention of the demons, and the risk of being discovered will be reduced to a minimum.
