"To be fair to the special envoy, this matter is a bit difficult..." After thinking for a while, Ning Yi slowly said.
Lu Xuan smiled: "Of course it is difficult. Trying to seize the beginning insect from the Sikong family is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth. If it were not difficult, I would not come to shopkeeper Ning. But no matter what, this beginning insect I have decided on the insect!"
Hearing Lu Xuan's decisive words, Ning Yi took a deep breath. He finally understood Lu Xuan's determination for this trip. After thinking about it, he took out a map and spread it out on the table.
Lu Xuan cast his gaze over and saw at a glance that this was a map of an extremely large palace complex. Most of the places on the map were marked in detail, but there were some places with very little information.
"Is this a map of the Sikong family headquarters?" Lu Xuan turned to look at Ning Yi and asked.
Ning Yi nodded: "Yes, the entrance to the Sikong family palace complex is located in the north of Tiansheng City. This palace is the residence of all branches and disciples of the Sikong family."
Ning Yi clicked his finger on the outer part of the palace complex, then moved to the middle part and said: "This is the training area. Some training facilities and martial arts pavilions are here. As for the back, it is the core of the Sikong family. In this place, most of the elders of the Sikong family live here. This is the Lan Yue Palace, which is where the Sikong family holds major meetings and discussions."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this name. The Sikong family is really big-hearted. The largest shop is called Star Picking Pavilion, and the meeting place is called Moon Picking Hall. Doesn't this mean picking up stars and grabbing the moon?
Without thinking much, Lu Xuan reached out and clicked on a few unknown places on the map and asked, "Where are these places?"
The places Lu Xuan pointed to were not only unknown, but also geographically located very far back, almost hidden among heavy guards. To reach these places, one must first break through the outermost residence of the disciples of the Sikong family branch. , and then pass through the training site and the Moon Palace, and finally reach these places, and these places are all separate. If you want to concentrate your forces to attack all places, it is impossible to accomplish all the results in one battle, but this does give Lu Xuan a chance to break through with all his strength. Of course, the chance is actually very slim, after all, I want to reach these places. There are so many obstacles to overcome.
Ning Yi sighed softly and said: "These places are the real core of the Sikong family. This building is called Dengtian Mansion. What is stored here is the inheritance of the Sikong family for many years. It is so tightly guarded that it is almost indescribable. If we can destroy this place, we will almost destroy the hard work of countless ancestors of the Sikong family. However, the difficulty of destroying this place is no different from destroying the Sikong family. We only know that there are many Taixu Realm elders here, and there are many The old monster—the reclusive elder of the Sikong family."
Lu Xuan lost interest in Dengtian Mansion after just one glance. He had no idea to destroy the foundation of the Sikong family. Of course, he still lacked the strength. Immediately, he waited quietly for Ning Yi to introduce the other places.
Ning Yi also knew what Lu Xuan was concerned about, so he didn't waste any more words and pointed directly to the building in another corner: "This is the place where the Sikong family cultivates the Yin and Yang Soul-Destroying Gu. It is called the Insect Palace. Every insect that enters the Everyone in the palace needs to go through strict interrogation, and except for important matters, no one else can enter here. The warriors who cultivate Gu insects are relatively solitary and rarely appear, just staying in the insect. In the palace."
Lu Xuan stared at the insect palace. There are relatively more signs on the Insect Palace than on the Dengtian Mansion. It is not difficult to analyze that the guards of the Insect Palace are not as strict as the Dengtian Palace, and the Shadow Hall explores the Insect Palace more. Ning Yi said before They once wanted to get the cultivation formula of Yin-Yang Soul-Destroying Gu, and they probably found out about it during that time.
As expected, Ning Yi was heard to say: "In order to obtain the cultivation method of Yin Yang Soul-Destroying Gu, we spent countless efforts to infiltrate the temple, bribed the guards of the Insect Palace with a lot of money, wooed the warriors who cultivated the Gu Insects, and tried to bring the Sikong family to the throne. We sent the hidden sentry into the Insect Palace... We tried various methods, but in the end we lost a lot of manpower, but only in exchange for adding a few more markers on this map."
Hearing Ning Yi's sigh, Lu Xuan could imagine the price that Shadow Hall had to pay for this. Shadow Hall's desire to inquire about the Insect Hall was equivalent to the Sikong family's desire to inquire about Jiuhua Mountain. Lu Xuan Although I don’t know how well guarded Jiuhua Mountain is, I can tell with my toes that the level of security is definitely comparable to that of the Sikong family’s Nadeng Tianfu.
After taking a closer look, Lu Xuan found that there were different words written in different places on the Insect Palace.
"Two secret sentries, with early stage strength in Taixu Realm."
"Four Guards: Peak Strength of Guiyuan Realm."
"There are three patrol teams. The route is as shown by the red line. They are led by warriors in the middle stage of Taixu Realm. The team members range from the late stage of Guiyuan Stage to the early stage of Taixu Stage."
"The place where the worm is suspected to be."
"It is suspected to be the place where Yin Yang Soul-Destroying Gu larvae are cultivated."
"The place where Gu insects feed, there are four guards in the early stage of Taixu Realm. The number and strength of the secret sentries is unknown."
…
A stream of information almost marked the strength of the guards outside the Insect Palace, but the situation deep in the Insect Palace was completely unknown. They didn't even know the specific construction conditions. They only used a few suspicions.
After each piece of information, no one knows how much effort has been spent, and no one even knows how many warriors of the Shadow Hall have paid the price with their lives.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists. For the sacrifice of these Shadow Hall warriors, he had to capture the First Insect this time.
"Special envoy, if we want to capture the Insect, we must first find a way to enter the Insect Palace. This step alone is extremely difficult." Ning Yi's words interrupted Lu Xuan's thoughts.
Ning Yi frowned when he said this. He had to go through many obstacles to reach the Insect Palace. Even if the lives of all the brothers in the Shadow Hall were filled here, Ning Yi could not see any hope.
Lu Xuan did not answer in a hurry, but stared at the map and tapped his fingers gently. After a while, Lu Xuan suddenly took out the Taiyi Cauldron. Ning Yi looked at Lu Xuan in surprise, wondering what he meant by this. .
Then he saw Lu Xuan activate a magic spell, and there was a slight spatial fluctuation, followed by a flash of golden light, and a small golden figure appeared on Lu Xuan's shoulder.
"Brother Xuan, you are finally willing to let me out. I'm almost suffocating myself to death!" Ah Li shouted loudly and complained when he appeared. The last time he saw Ao Ze being called out by Lu Xuan, Ah Li was so angry. It got excited, thinking that this silly guy like Ao Ze had appeared, and it was time for him to show off his talents. However, he never thought that the wait would take so long, and it was only now that he finally saw the light of day.
"This, this is..." Ning Yi looked at Ah Li dumbfounded.
"Shopkeeper Ning, don't be surprised, this is my friend." Lu Xuan smiled, treating Ah Li and Ao Ze, Lu Xuan did not treat them as his own spiritual beasts, but as friends.
Shopkeeper Ning was still wondering where Ah Li came from, but Lu Xuan patted Ah Li on the head, pointed at the map and said: "Ah Li, this is your chance to show off your skills, come here Look at this map." (To be continued~^~)
