After seeing that Li Yan destroyed the jade slip, he really stopped explaining. Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun turned to look at Bai Rou. Bai Rou just looked at the night ahead, as if thinking about something, and also had no intention of explaining.
Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun felt a little unhappy. In the past, when they carried out missions, they would explain the content of the mission and the destination clearly before setting off, but now these two junior brothers and sisters refused to explain.
They looked at each other and exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Obviously, the importance of this mission has far exceeded their expectations, so even the destination has to be kept secret.
The two of them didn't even glance at Sun Guoshu. Although their status in the Wangliang Sect was not as high as Li and Bai, they were also well-known. How could they be interested in this casual cultivator? They were still complaining in their hearts, wondering why they brought Sun Guoshu along.
Normally, Sun Guoshu did not perform well in the team. It was said that he had some friendship with Bai Rou, so no one was willing to say anything. Even if Sun Guoshu could complete this task, he would only be an outer disciple in the future, and would never be on the same level as them.
Therefore, Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun did not need to consider Sun Guoshu's thoughts at all. Sun Guoshu was of course well aware of all this. He was used to seeing such things as a casual cultivator.
Although he was unhappy, he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face. He just stood there quietly, while guessing the destination of this trip in his mind.
After Li Yan and his group flew in the night for only half an hour, they landed in a valley. Fengliang Mountain was thousands of miles away from the demon army. With the flying speed of the Cloud-Piercing Willow, if Li Yan used all his strength, he could reach his destination in just one night.
But in the end, they only flew more than a thousand miles before they had to stop. From here on, the number of enemy monk teams will gradually increase.
If you fly so loudly like this, you will be spotted before you go far. If you meet a monk from Fengliang Mountain, it would be easy to deal with. You just need to confirm each other's identities.
If they were targeted by the enemy cultivators, then Li Yan and his group's future whereabouts might be leaked and their tracks revealed.
"Junior Brother Li, is our target nearby?"
As soon as the five of them fell into the valley, Yan Feijun looked around and couldn't help but ask.
Just now he had secretly conveyed a message to King Hu Xiao, thinking that the spies left behind in the Demon Tribe might have arrived in advance and were hiding nearby, or might appear in other ways later.
Logically speaking, if they were asked to come over to support them, these two people should have been exposed, and the demon pursuers should have appeared here. However, their spiritual sense did not find any demon cultivators here for the time being.
They still thought that the two traitors had not arrived yet. Since Uncle-Master Wei gave a deadline of fifteen days, he must have taken into account that it would take some time for the two traitors to arrive.
Then all we have to do is set up defenses and hiding methods here, and then pick up the two of them and kill the pursuers, and the mission will be accomplished.
After Li Yan and Bai Rou looked at each other, they realized that they could no longer fly openly.
Li Yan thought about it and felt that if he wanted to sneak all the way there, he still needed the other three to know the destination. According to Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong, they should tell them the destination when they were about to reach "Zhouyang Town".
Li Yan felt that telling them would be more conducive to action, and these three people should have been planted with some kind of restrictions by their master. If they had any ill intentions, they might be retaliated against, so he was not afraid of them having bad intentions.
So Li Yan shook his head and said, "This is not the rendezvous point, but from here on, we have to be really careful and vigilant. Our final destination is the edge of the demon army, a place called 'Zhouyang Town'."
"What? The edge of the demon army?"
It was almost as Li Yan expected that Hu Xiaowang and the other two exclaimed in a low voice almost in unison. If they had not reminded themselves that they were on a mission, they might have shouted loudly.
Although they have carried out many missions, most of them were defensive instead of offensive, so they basically operated within thousands of miles of Fengliang Mountain, hunting down the enemy scouts. On the contrary, more demon monks came to the edge of Fengliang Mountain.
Now suddenly I heard that they were going to sneak into the edge of the demon army. Although there would occasionally be small teams of monks going there, there were not many of them, at least they had never carried out such a mission.
Once discovered, with a return journey of nearly ten thousand miles, how could they be sure of escaping safely
The three of them suppressed their shock. Even though they had heard it with their own ears, they still hoped to hear the final confirmation from Li Yan and Bai Rou.
Li Yan nodded helplessly, then spread his hands. Hu Xiaowang and the other two then realized why the reward given by their two uncles and uncles was so generous. The fact that it would take fifteen days alone showed that this mission could not be easily accomplished.
Sun Guoshu gave a wry smile and looked at Li Yan, then shook his head gently, sighed, and thought to himself.
“I was very grateful to you and Miss Bai, but you are dragging me to die with you. I am always very nervous when I carry out missions near Fengliang Mountain. Now, you are coming to kill me directly.
Once discovered, even a Jindan cultivator would have a chance of escaping.
I really don’t know what the high-ranking officials of the Wuliang Sect are thinking. I am a worthless person, but Li Yan and Bai Rou are their direct disciples, and their status is incomparable to that of ordinary Wuliang Sect disciples. “Everyone, we will have to sneak over there next. Taking into account the situation of avoiding many ears and eyes, it is estimated that it will take at least three days.
Plus, the fastest way back would take about three days, so the remaining nine days is the time we can use the most. But this is all under very smooth conditions. If there is any accident on the way, we may have even less time. "
In fact, this is the most time Wei Chongran and his companions can buy. If Li Yan and his companions fail to find the monks from the Qingling Sect in Zhouyang Town, they will have to immediately expand their search for the skills outside.
After saying that, black spiritual energy surged around Li Yan's body and enveloped his entire body. In a moment, he had changed out of the Wuliang Sect's attire and replaced it with a grey robe.
At the same time, a faint white mist rose from Bai Rou's body, and then a set of black tight clothes appeared on her body, blending in with the dense forest around her. However, this set of clothes made her exquisite figure look more seductive.
Her pair of perky buttocks aroused endless reverie. Seeing several people's eyes unconsciously looking at her, Bai Rou's face turned red, but she had to pretend not to know.
Hu Xiaowang and the other three were all veterans in the martial arts world. Seeing the look on Li and Bai's faces, they knew what they had to do.
In addition to Sun Guoshu, Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun also quickly changed out of their sect uniforms and put on ordinary clothes.
Especially Yan Feijun's whole person began to become a little illusory. He directly added a set of small breath-hiding restriction formations that he was best at on himself, making his own breath almost disappear.
After seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but whispered in praise, "Senior Brother Yan is really good at this."
Several other people also expressed their agreement. In order to increase the speed of action, Yan Feijun obviously did not fully activate the method of concealment. Even so, it can be seen that Yan Feijun has an impressive skill in formation.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Junior Brother Li. These are just some trivial tricks. If we need to hide our aura collectively, I still have another set of formations that should be able to hide us all."
Yan Feijun spoke modestly, but he was quite proud in his heart. Although the five of them would still move forward together, it would basically depend on each person's own ability. This could be seen from the fact that Bai Rou did not hesitate to show off her figure in a black tights.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, how about you explore the way ahead?" Li Yan did not comment on Yan Feijun's words, and suddenly spoke to Sun Guoshu who had been standing silently on the side.
"Me? Oh...oh..., yes, of course...yes."
Sun Guoshu was inexplicably arranged by Li Yan to be the vanguard scout. He didn't react for a moment, but then he agreed.
Now, if the people here were not the four monks from the Wuliang Sect, but monks from various recruited sects, he would suggest that they stay in the vicinity for ten days and then return directly to Fengliang Mountain.
He didn't want the so-called reward anymore. What was more important than saving his own life? However, four out of the five people here were monks from the Wuliang Sect. He didn't dare to show any abnormality, otherwise he might die here and they would be sacrificed by the gods.
Even Bai Rou felt puzzled by Li Yan's arrangement, not to mention Hu and Yan. You know, Sun Guoshu was just a slacker in the ninth team of the "Heavy Front Battalion".
Many people didn’t know how he was transferred to the Ninth Team. They thought that Sun Guoshu was just lucky and his combat effectiveness was average when he was performing tasks on weekdays, so there was nothing to notice.
Perhaps the most good thing about Sun Guoshu, a casual cultivator, is that he has good relationships with people. He can chat with almost everyone and he is tactful in his dealings.
He would also often say flattering words to Bai Rou. Although everyone knew that he was good at flattery, Sun Guoshu got along well with other people, so no one said anything bad about him.
But now, Li Yan actually arranged Sun Guoshu to be the front-line scout. This mission is extremely important. If something goes wrong, the entire team will be destroyed.
Yan Feijun originally thought that he was supposed to do this task. He was indeed responsible for this task in the Ninth Team on weekdays. But why did Li Yan act so recklessly today
He sneered in his heart, but did not fight for it. He thought it would be best if the enemy discovered him before he could walk a few miles. Either he would annihilate the enemy completely, or the mission would fail. He would not have to risk going to the edge of the demon army again.
King Hu Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still tried to dissuade him, "Junior Brother Li, our Ninth Team has always been led by Junior Brother Yan and two others to carry out reconnaissance missions.
They are quite knowledgeable about concealment. Of course, I am not saying that Brother Sun is incapable, but he may not be good at this kind of magic…”
At this point, King Hu Xiao stopped talking and asked inquiringly. Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hu, Brother Sun's ability is far more than what he usually shows."
Li Yan's words made King Hu Xiao curious. It seemed that Li Yan knew Sun Guoshu very well. He didn't expect that this casual cultivator might have some relationship with Bai Rou, but he didn't expect that he had some connection with Li Yan quietly. In this case, King Hu Xiao nodded slightly.
But Yan Feijun on the side looked Sun Guoshu up and down, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Li Yan arranged Sun Guoshu to be the one to go ahead and spy and clear the way. He is now convinced that Sun Guoshu is by no means as mediocre as he looks. Li Yan's vision is no longer as narrow as before. He has been away for the past few years and has a deeper understanding of these independent cultivators.
