It was rare to hear Xiezhi obtain useful information, but Ji Yuan did not have too many other thoughts about Li Feng and still maintained a normal attitude. After all, he had already made many bad assumptions about Li Feng's situation before.
This time, Ji Yuan did not wait for Li Feng to come to Nichen Temple the next day to give him the letter. When he asked Xiezhi, it was almost dusk, so Ji Yuan chose to visit Li's house directly.
The streets shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun were somewhat golden. Standing in the blacksmith shop and looking at the entrance of the Li Mansion from afar, next to it was the last piece of ironware made today.
The old blacksmith on the side came over with a smile and took a look at some of the utensils arranged on the side. Both the farm tools and kitchen utensils were very good. Then he looked at the golden armor and found that the dull man seemed a little absent-minded.
"Xiao Jin, what are you looking at?"
Jin Jia pointed to the gate of Li Mansion.
"Look over there."
The old blacksmith looked in the direction of the golden-armored finger, and saw a man in a white shirt standing in the afterglow of the setting sun in front of the gate of the Li Mansion. Although he was a little far away, judging from his posture and demeanor, he should be a very learned gentleman. That kind of confidence and composure were not something that a nervous scholar would have when visiting the Li Mansion.
In the sight of the old blacksmith, the servants of the Li Mansion tried to invite the gentleman into the house several times, but the latter shook his head slightly to refuse.
"Hehe, this is strange. Who among the people outside doesn't want to enter the Li Mansion, right? But this person hasn't entered yet."
The old blacksmith said this with a smile, and poked the golden armor with his elbow. The latter lowered his head slightly and looked at the old blacksmith, perhaps thinking that he should respond, and finally uttered the word "hmm" from his mouth.
Not long after, in the sight of the two people in the blacksmith shop, the young master of the Li mansion ran out, trotted to the big master and bowed respectfully, and then the two stood in front of the mansion gate and seemed to talk for a few words. The big master gave the other party a letter, and the young master seemed a little excited.
"It looks like a messenger."
The old blacksmith made some comments, and Jin Jia looked at his current nominal master again, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I don't think so."
As soon as Jin Jia finished speaking, the gentleman in the distance reached out and touched the young master of the Li family's head. This action was not something that ordinary people could or dared to do. The young master of the Li family immediately threw himself into the gentleman's arms and hugged him. After the latter raised his arms for a while, one of them fell on the young master of the Li family's head, and the other gently patted the child's back.
"You're right. If a messenger dared to do this, could he be a distant relative of the Li family?"
This time Jin Jia didn't say anything, but stared at the scene in the distance intently. Finally, the young master of the Li family let go of the old gentleman, and the two parted in front of the gate of the Li Mansion. Before leaving, the old gentleman seemed to glance in the direction of the blacksmith shop.
Jin Jia raised his hands and clasped his fists, then bowed slightly towards the distance. The old blacksmith felt Jin Jia's movement, but when he turned to look at the man beside him, he saw nothing, as if Jin Jia had not moved at all. He couldn't help but suspect that his eyes were blurry.
…
Ji Yuan was not sure how long he would take to come back after this departure, and he did not have enough time to observe Li Feng, so he left Jin Jia and the little paper crane here to watch over him. With the help of the local land, it was also a kind of insurance. Even if something really happened, whether it was for Li Feng or for the outside world, Jin Jia would have a hard time getting through this hurdle.
When night fell, Ji Yuan had already flown away on a cloud. This time, there was no convenient ferry across the boundary to take, so he had to rely entirely on himself to fly to Tianyuzhou.
The layer of strong winds that Ji Yuan once feared, now seemed like nothing to him. After admiring the beautiful scenery of Southern Wilderness Continent, the clouds under Ji Yuan's feet turned into wind, rising higher and higher, and finally turned into a beam of light and flew up to the sky.
Although the height of the strong wind layer varies, the higher you go, the more violent the wind becomes, like a sword. With Ji Yuan's current cultivation level, he can travel freely in the strong wind and fly to the highest place. He can find a wind belt with the right direction in the strong strong wind turbulence, and then fly quickly to Tianyuzhou with the help of the strong wind. There is a sword intent in his body, like a escaping sword light.
…
During the journey, the flying sword communication from the Tianji Pavilion was naturally interrupted. During this period, Ji Yuan could not understand the situation in Tianyu Continent. He could only calculate the good and bad luck through the situations of several chess pieces in Tianyu Continent in the artistic conception of mountains and rivers, as well as the changes of stars in the night sky. It was better than nothing.
Of course, the most important thing is to observe the position of the stars and sense the qi to determine the direction. After all, although Tianyuzhou is large, if the direction is not found correctly, you may fly to an unknown place.
Late at night on the third day of March that year, Ji Yuan flew to Tianyu Continent for the first time. With his Dharma Eyes fully opened, he observed the energy within his sight and found that even the yin and yang energy of heaven and earth were not stable, not to mention the various destinies intertwined among them. Fortunately, although the destiny of humanity was certainly greatly weakened, it was not really in danger.
Ji Yuan looked up at the sky. The night sky was filled with bright stars. When he paid special attention, the starlight of Wu Qu in the direction of the Big Dipper seemed to be brighter than before.
Except for Xuanjizi of Tianji Pavilion who knew that Ji Yuan had left Nanhuangzhou and went to Tianyuzhou, Ji Yuan did not inform anyone of his coming, not even the old beggar.
After arriving at Tianyu Continent, the sensitivity of the chess pieces that were there also increased a lot. Ji Yuan was slightly surprised to find that Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian were no longer in an area in Tianyu Continent that was severely plagued by demons. Instead, one was already at the edge of Tianyu Continent, and the other was in the central part of Tianyu Continent, which seemed safe and already under the control of the righteous.
Logically speaking, this period of time should be the most intense time for the struggle between good and evil in Tianyu Continent. The Apocalypse Alliance has been stirring up trouble for so long, and this time it has put in all its efforts. It would be abnormal for members like Niu Batian and Lu Shanjun, who are definitely not cannon fodder, not to fight with the righteous on the front line.
"Is there another trick?"
Ji Yuan thought for a moment and made up his mind. Without any hesitation, he flew towards the central part of Tianyu Continent. However, his speed was not as fast as before. He was more careful and observed the situation in all aspects of Tianyu Continent. The chess piece in the direction of his advance corresponded to Niu Batian.
Theoretically, the direction we are heading in is relatively safe, but when looking down from the sky at night, because of the chaos in Tianyu Continent caused by the struggle between good and evil, evil miasma is everywhere on the vast land, and people's temper has subsided a lot compared to before. Of course, you can still see lights at night in some places where people gather.
After flying for a few more days, Ji Yuan suddenly slowed down his flying speed. A strange aura appeared in his sight, rolling like fire and flowing like rivers, so he deliberately slowed down his speed and lowered his altitude.
“Tattahtattahtatt…” “Tattahtattahtatt…”
There were sounds of footsteps moving forward on a slightly rugged path, along with the sounds of armor and weapons colliding, and the neighing of horses.
This is an army that has experienced bloody battles. It is not because their armor is so broken or stained with blood. In fact, their armor is bright and their weapons are sharp, but the momentum they exude and the murderous spirit that is almost integrated into the entire legion is truly frightening.
What surprised Ji Yuan even more was that this legion of about several thousand people was actually escorting a large number of monsters. Although they were all monsters of moderate size, most of them had sharp mouths, fangs and covered in bristles. To ordinary people, they must have been very scary. However, these soldiers seemed to be accustomed to it. They were silent while walking, and although they were on guard against the escorted monsters, they were not too afraid.
Compared with these situations, it is not surprising that there are several immortal cultivators accompanying the army. Moreover, in Ji Yuan's opinion, the cultivation of those immortal cultivators is very shallow, and they may not be as good as Wei Yuansheng and Sun Yaya. The immortal spirit of them is even a little mixed.
Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, then descended a little, trying to see more accurately. As he thought about it, his figure gradually became blurred. He could feel the murderous aura of this army. Ordinary tricks were useless. So Ji Yuan simply used his current magic and supernatural powers as if they were his own arms, so as not to be exposed as soon as he fell into the army formation.
Neither the soldiers nor the monsters could see Ji Yuan. He fell directly to the ground and followed the team, getting very close to the monsters that were being shackled by thick iron chains.
The nearest soldiers were full of vigor and vitality, holding their rifles steadily in their hands. Although they looked tired, their eyes were still murderous when they glanced at the monsters. This murderous aura was not unique to these soldiers, but was shared by hundreds of soldiers around them. Ji Yuan was slightly surprised to find that the monsters being escorted were actually very afraid, and most of them huddled in the marching ranks, and not many of them even bared their teeth.
Around before dawn, the army climbed over a hill, the marching road became easier to walk on, and the footsteps of the army became more regular. Ji Yuan looked up and saw a city of considerable size in his sight.
"We have reached Yuqiu City. Keep an eye on these beasts. If anyone disobeys, they will be killed without mercy!"
A general shouted loudly, and in the silent march at night, the sound was clearly heard from far away.
The next moment, all the soldiers in the army spoke out almost at the same time.
“Yes!”
The sound was like a tsunami, which scared Ji Yuan who was in the army formation, and many of the monsters trembled. Among them, a burly mountain spirit who was half a meter tall at the tail end seemed to be too frightened, or perhaps he had already made a decision. At this moment, he suddenly rushed to the side of the army formation and knocked down several monsters connected to the steel cables.
"Roar… "
The mountain spirit charged wildly, but every soldier around it was skilled in battlefield fighting and had some kind of spiritual light on their bodies. They all dodged and no one was hit. Then dozens of people approached from all sides with guns and machetes in their hands. Their roaring shouts were filled with terrifying blood, which made it difficult for the mountain spirit to breathe.
"kill-"
The city was filled with shouts and sounds of killing.
"Puff puff… "
The swords and spears pierced the flesh and blood flashed. The rough skin of the mountain spirit could not withstand the combined attack of the soldiers and it was soon hacked to death. An immortal cultivator nearby quickly leaped over, cast a talisman, and directly captured the soul of the mountain spirit.
"Keep going, and execute the sentence outside Yuqiu City before dawn!"
“Yes!”
The army moved forward again, and Ji Yuan understood that they were going to escort these monsters out of the city for execution. This should be done to boost people's morale. At the same time, these monsters should have been selected.
