Jiang Yuebai followed behind the retreating Wu Clan army and found that most of the Wu Clan warriors began to stay where they were after crossing the desert, and seemed ready to fight back at any time.
Only a small number of the Zhangwei Mountain witches, whose clothing was obviously different, returned in three groups.
Zhulong and Zhu Jiuyou had long disappeared. This time, the Wu clan lost most of the dragons they had tamed, and the casualties among the ferocious beasts were even more severe.
Jiang Yuebai observed for a few days and suddenly saw the female tribal leader he had met before, Yan Chiyu, who was carrying a bow and arrow, among the Wu clan warriors stationed at the original place.
At this time, she had changed into black leather armor with the Zhangwei Mountain totem printed on it. Her body was covered with old scars and looked weathered.
The people around her are no longer members of the tribe.
Jiang Yuebai waited patiently until Yan Chiyu's patrol changed and reached the desert area, then he quietly spread out the world of lifeless sand to separate Yan Chiyu and his followers.
The sky was filled with yellow sand. Yan Chiyu was very frightened by the sudden small-scale sandstorm, until he saw a figure walking out of the sandstorm, then he cried out in shock.
"Is it you?"
Yan Chiyu still recognized Jiang Yuebai. Even though she now knew that Jiang Yuebai had used the pseudonym Fu Yi and was someone else's name, she still had no ill will towards Jiang Yuebai.
Yan Chiyu put down his bow and arrow, and the fire dragon bone talisman on his body gradually went out.
Jiang Yuebai looked at Yan Chiyu. She remembered that in the memories of the Great Witch and Tao Xian, this small tribe had been destroyed at the hands of Zhu Jiuyou eight times before, and no one survived.
But this time, it changed.
Is it because the inscriptionless stone slab that Zhu Jiuyou was looking for was taken away by her, or is there some other reason
"Why did you join Zhu Jiuyou?" Jiang Yuebai asked directly.
Yan Chiyu did not feel repulsive towards Jiang Yuebai just because he was a human and the human and witch races were currently at war.
She looked around and asked Jiang Yuebai if it was safe here. Seeing Jiang Yuebai nod, she slowly said, "It was Yan Miao who changed us."
"Yan Miao is still alive? Where is she?" Jiang Yuebai was a little surprised.
Yan Chiyu said, "Back then, on the eve of Zhu Jiuyou's troops attacking our tribe, Yan Miao suddenly returned from outside and learned a lot of skills. Even I suffered a loss at her hands and almost lost to her."
"Later, Yan Miao brought the news she had gathered along the way, saying that we alone could not contend with Zhu Jiuyou's power. She learned a saying from the human race: 'As long as there is green, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.' She wanted us to surrender on our own initiative."
"Although many people scolded Yan Miao for being spineless, the Great Witch stood by her and supported her. In the end, I overpowered the people below and took the initiative to surrender when Zhu Jiuyou's people arrived."
"I remember that day, the one who led the troops here was a very handsome young man, who looked like a human, but had the wings of a feather witch. He gladly accepted our surrender and did not make things difficult for us."
"Later, we were all taken to the vicinity of Zhangwei Mountain. The capable warriors in our tribe joined the army, and the others were taken to build the Zhulong Palace. Yan Miao continued to make contributions in the army, and he stood out and was given important positions."
"Yan Miao is now one of the guards of Zhu Jiuyou's inner palace. In fact, I always felt that Yan Miao's promotion was too fast and too smooth. It seems that this is due to that Yu Wu. I am always afraid that Yan Miao will be used by others."
For outsiders like Jiang Yuebai, because of the existence of time turbulence, they felt that the actual time they had spent was less than a year.
But they have spent at least twenty years in the Great Wilderness.
Yan Chiyu sighed heavily, but Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up.
The Feather Witch that Yan Chiyu mentioned must be Shen Huaixi. Shen Huaixi has already paved the way for her to sneak into the Candle Dragon Palace in Zhangwei Mountain.
Previously, Zhu Long was seriously injured, and Zhu Jiuyou was not with Zhu Long. If she could use the ice beetle king Yu Chen in Zhu Jiuyou's sea of consciousness to try to awaken Zhu Jiuyou's memory of the time when he was Bai Jiuyou, she could win Zhu Jiuyou over and make him her helper to deal with Zhu Long and Wei together.
It's risky, but worth a try.
Even if it fails, we must control Zhu Jiuyou first and stuff her into the lotus platform world to prevent her from getting in the way at the critical moment. After leaving the Great Wilderness, we will find the Mahayana Immortal King to find a way to solve Zhu Jiuyou's problem.
"How can I contact Yan Miao?" Jiang Yuebai asked Yan Chiyu anxiously.
When Yan Chiyu heard this, he looked at Jiang Yuebai strangely for a while before taking out a red crystal stone carved into the shape of a fire dragon from his sleeve.
"Before Yan Miao left with the people from Zhangwei Mountain, he gave me this thing and told me to pass it on to you if you come looking for me. When you get to the vicinity of Zhangwei Mountain, you can crush it and Yan Miao will come to see you."
Jiang Yuebai took the thing and was sure that it was Shen Huaixi's arrangement.
Yan Miao's cultivation and status were able to improve quickly, and he must have made a lot of efforts behind the scenes, just for this moment.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Yuebai took the crystal and originally wanted to remind Yan Chiyu and the others to leave the troubled place as soon as possible to avoid being involved in the subsequent war.
But when the words came to his lips, Jiang Yuebai swallowed them back. The people of the Great Wilderness will live and die together with the Great Wilderness. No matter what they do, they can only change the present, but cannot change the destined destruction in the future.
Jiang Yuebai said nothing, retracted the magnetic ruler, took a step back, and disappeared in the endless yellow sand.
Yan Chiyu stood there for a while. Although he didn't know what Jiang Yuebai was going to do, he had a hunch that something big was going to happen at Zhangwei Mountain.
She quickly found her two men who were lost in the desert, and prepared to take her tribe members with her to find a way to get away from the trouble.
*
Jiang Yuebai and Ao Juan worked together again and used the power of space to directly reach the northernmost part of the Wu clan's territory, near Zhangwei Mountain.
Standing on a mountain top, Jiang Yuebai ignored Ao Juan's objections and forced her back into the small world.
Jiang Yuebai looked far to the north. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the earth was gloomy. Pure black mountains rose and fell. Red magma kept overflowing from the mountaintops, rushing down like waterfalls, forming large magma lakes at the foot of the mountains, reflecting the dark sky into a blood-red color.
The air was scorching hot, with a suffocating feeling of oppression, as if some ancient giant beast was lurking quietly in the dark magma.
The clanging sounds of hammering echoed in the silent night, accompanied by bursts of horns. Everywhere on the mountain were naked-chested witches, more than a dozen of them, dragging huge statues and stones with thick ropes.
The mountain is carved into the shape of a Zhulong roaring to the sky, and the largest lava waterfall flows out of the Zhulong's mouth.
In the center of those lava lakes, there are nine dragon bridges leading to the magnificent black palace in the mountains.
The entire palace was built in the mountains. The outer gate alone was a hundred feet high and looked magnificent.
Outside the lava lake, there is a huge black stone city. The city is brightly lit and bustling with people. Even in the middle of the night, there are still many witches wandering the streets, buying and selling, and it has a market atmosphere.
Jiang Yuebai disguised himself as a witch from Zhangwei Mountain, hid his figure and breath, sneaked into the huge black stone city, stopped at an unnoticed corner of the street, crushed the fire dragon crystal, and waited for Yan Miao to come.
