It only took Inugami one night and one day to travel from Tucheng Qingyang to the royal city Yongchuan. When he reacted again, his four feet were already in the Chenji Palace. The whole journey almost wore him to pieces. claws, and his body has long been dehydrated from overload.
What he himself found incredible was that he subconsciously entered the Chenji Palace through the small door behind the Fuxing Palace. His cold and numb body and consciousness were reawakened by a rush of heat. When he raised his head, he saw a big red bird with flames all over it standing opposite him.
"I'm from the intelligence team. I came from Qingyang, Tucheng. I want to meet the red-haired Fox Lord Ouyang Hongye..." Inugami said this with the last breath of his strength and then fell down.
When he woke up again, he found that he was lying on the blanket in front of the stove, and Ouyang Hongye was sitting in a chair next to him and taking a nap.
Inugami doesn't have many opportunities to meet Ouyang Hongye directly on weekdays. Most of the time, he gets instructions from his boss Chang Feng. If he could be so close to the prince of the demon world before, he would be excited, but now he is worried about Xiao Qi and the other people in the group, plus the fatigue caused by traveling day and night, making him calm down.
"Lord Momiji!"
As soon as she heard his voice, Ouyang Hongye immediately opened her eyes. Seeing that he was trying to sit up, she quickly stopped him and said, "Just lie down and talk!"
The Inugami massively armed the remaining old men of the Demon Spirit Clan in Qingli, Tucheng, and all the people became soldiers and threatened to protect the last Demon Spirit Son. He explained to Ouyang Hongye one by one, including that the Saru Red Demon was the instigator of Onigakure. He Kui, as his provider, had a fate of living and dying with him, and how Qingyun bribed the red-eared demon spirit on the condition of the Qi Lie Formation, making him betray the royal city in order for his son to coexist with the ape-red demon.
After hearing this, Ouyang Hongye felt really mixed emotions. The experience of the Demon Spirit Tribe was certainly worthy of sympathy, but Qingyun's repeated use of other people's weaknesses as bargaining chips to complete his grand plan made him even more angry.
But what had to make him think deeply was that when a crisis came, there would always be people like the red-eared demon spirit or the blue snake Xizhen who would rather believe Qingyun's words than seek help from the royal city. Perhaps it was because of the gradual development of the demon world. The decline may have caused them to lose confidence in the royal city.
After thinking about it, he decided that before Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others went to Tucheng Qingyang, they must first resolve the uprising of the Demon Spirit Clan in Qingyang City. In order to solve this problem, it may not be appropriate to send troops from the royal city to attack, because if the troops from the royal city were to fight against the Demon Spirit Clan in Qingyang, it would mean a complete break between them and the Demon Spirit Clan. The Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment is not under the direct jurisdiction of the Royal City, and the conflicts that arise will be easier to resolve in the future.
After meeting Dong Muya and Min Endong the first day, several teenagers stayed overnight at Ouyang Ancient Mansion due to excessive fatigue. As soon as they returned to Chenji Palace the next morning, they were called together by Ouyang Hongye.
Ouyang Hongye understood that if he wanted to mobilize the demon horse cavalry regiment, he still needed to discuss it with Qianqi. After listening to what he said, Qianqi accepted his idea and explained the entire plan to the leader of the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment. Including that the ultimate goal is just to control the Demon Spirit Clan so that he and a few companions can enter the Pagoda Palace smoothly, and it is not really about hurting lives or bloodbathing Qingyang City.
Inugami's body has not fully recovered, but he insists on returning to Tucheng Qingyang with the Demon Horse Cavalry to quell the demon clan there. Mainly because he is worried about whether Xiao Qi will be saved, and whether the other companions in the intelligence team will be able to. Defeat the convoy guys. Although he knew that it was a trap for Huang Scorpion to lure them to rescue Xiao Qi when he left, as long as they believed him, a fierce fight would inevitably happen, but he did not know what happened afterward.
But it was Wang Yue who came to Tucheng Qingyang first with him and the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment. After contacting Sanmu at the contact point, he rushed all the way to Qingyang City. Just when he was about to observe for a while outside the city before entering the city, he met the intelligence team waiting outside the city.
Regarding the situation of Wang Yue, Ouyang Hongye once told Chang Feng, so after telling each other their names, the defenses between each other were relieved. He told him everything they knew about Tucheng Qingli. Narrated it again.
Chang Feng originally wanted to ask Wang Yue to wait outside the city for the arrival of the Royal City's reinforcements, but after thinking about it, Wang Yue decided to say goodbye to them first and go into Qingyang City alone to explore the reality of the Demon Spirit Clan.
The city is full of patrolling demon spirit warriors. Although they are old, they are all fully armed and full of energy. Originally, one had to enter the city through the main gate, but now there were more guards in front of the gate than elsewhere. It is impossible to break through by force. Fortunately, when Mole Xiaoqi was alive, he dug a secret passage to facilitate everyone's future escape. This secret passage can lead directly from outside the city to the largest medicinal field in the lower city.
Originally, because there were acres of medicinal herb fields as a cover, it was not easy to detect when entering and exiting the secret passage. However, after the black fox used the Wan Yao Fox Technique the night before, most of the medicinal herb fields near the entrance of the secret passage were burned. Once there, it becomes a little too conspicuous.
Looking back now, Guren still feels that the scene when the black fox exploded was definitely the most thrilling scene she has ever experienced so far.
When the huge bomb transformed by the black fox came towards her, she was unable to dodge, and if she tried to catch it, she would be blown to pieces. In desperation, she subconsciously resorted to the highest level of possession.
She didn't care that the whole body of the black fox was burning with hot fox fire. She put away the dragon-headed iron whip and risked her luck by touching the fireball at an extremely fast speed. Then she turned around and staggered away from it. She just couldn't feel the fireball. Heat was shaken by the huge explosion and she completely lost her intuition. When she recovered, she found that the black fox had exploded to nothing, and not only had all her clothes been burned, but she had also been burned in many places, so she simply Hidden until Chang Feng arrived.
Wangyue followed Chang Feng's guidance to find the secret passage leading to Qingyang in Tucheng, and groped all the way to the exit. As soon as she poked her head out, she heard the chatter of the demon spirits patrolling not far around. Since the herb field was burned down just last night, they haven't discovered the hole in the clearing yet, but it won't take them long to search it.
While they were still some distance away, Wangyue quickly came out of the cave and hid behind the trees not far away. In order to avoid the people sent by Qingyun to hunt him these days, his hiding skills have improved a lot compared to the past.
As for what the Seven Sound Gate is, Chang Feng himself did not get a very detailed explanation from the red-eared demon spirit, so he only gave him a rough idea, and he had to rely on his intuition to find it.
There was a heavily guarded building in the lower city that caught his attention. The building looked very ordinary on the surface, but it was almost directly opposite the gate of Tucheng Qingyang. It looked like an ordinary medicine farmer's house, but it was built close to the main road in the center of the city. He couldn't help but guess that no matter whether it was the seven-tone gate in this building, it must be hiding something very important. secret.
There were eight demon spirit warriors standing inside and outside the house. How to enter the building under their guard became the question he was thinking about at the moment. Force a breakthrough? It shouldn't be a problem to defeat those demon spirits who look old and weak, but I'm afraid it might alarm the other demon spirits in the city; making an attack in the east or in the west? This is a good idea, but I heard that the Demon Spirit Tribe is a race with a very high IQ, so it’s hard to say whether they will be able to take the bait. The other next step is to kill them all as quickly as possible. Leave them any chance to speak out, but it is not easy to do this because these demon spirits are wearing armor.
After thinking about it, he decided to slightly improve the second idea. He made some noise not far away, which attracted one of the demon spirits to be sent over to investigate the situation. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he knocked him out and took off his armor as quickly as possible and put it on himself. After putting on a slight disguise, he walked over to the demon warriors who were still guarding the building.
"Menghulu, what's going on over there?" the manager of the eight-person team asked.
Mochizuki was worried that she would be exposed if she spoke out, so she just shook her head silently and tried to hide it. I don’t know if he had good luck. The person he knocked unconscious has always been known as an honest person in the clan. He is usually a man of few words. Not only was he nicknamed Menghulu, but he was also often called... Bullying from the same race.
Seeing that there was still no sign of trouble at noon, the several demon spirits patrolling in the yard began to become agitated and even whispered.
"I haven't seen even half a person so far. Do you think people from the royal city will come?"
"Who knows, even if they come, they may not know how to activate the seven-tone gate."
"That's right, our clan has always guarded the secret of the Seven Sound Gate very well."
"I feel like we are announcing to outsiders what is going on here."
When it was time to eat at noon, everyone was supposed to take turns to rest, but six of them left in succession, leaving only Menghulu and one other person. Seeing that the person in charge was not around, the man wanted to be lazy, so he told Meng Hulu that he was going to go for a convenience and then disappeared. This became the best opportunity for Wangyue, disguised as Meng Hulu, to enter the building behind him.
When I first walked into the building, it was no different from other medicine farmers' homes in Qingyang. It was just a hall used to store medicine, and the floor of the back room was paved with bricks. Mochizuki walked into the back room and stomped around, trying to lift a few floor tiles in the place where the echo was the loudest, and found a lid with a symbol he couldn't understand. Under the lid was a device similar to a valve. , he turned the device left and right without thinking.
When he turned the valve toward the movable side, a rumbling sound seemed to come from far below the ground. He turned the valve to the end, and then restored the cover and floor tiles to their original positions.
When he came out, he met the man who had stayed behind with him back at the door. The man wanted to ask him why he entered the house, but because he was also absent without permission, he kept silent.
