In the southeast sky, a hundred miles of fiery clouds appeared, as if a painter had sprinkled cinnabar, dyeing the white clouds red.
Zuo Qingfeng stood on Mount Cong outside Xiaoyao City, looking up at the sky. The wind was blowing behind him. He looked back and saw a group of monks flying down on their swords. He smiled and greeted them: "Sixth Elder, you are finally here. If you don't come, I will not be able to resist attacking the city. What do you think? Take out some Qilin marrow for us to use. I want to see if this treasure is really as magical as it was teleported."
He looked left and right, and saw that the Sixth Elder looked strange, and there was no sign of his eldest brother. The corners of his mouth sank: "What happened? Why didn't my eldest brother come?"
The Sixth Elder sighed and said, "She ran away."
Zuo Qingfeng frowned, "Big brother brought half of his men and found out when the Xuanmiao Sect was empty, and surrounded Jingdu Mountain with internal and external forces. With so much preparation, he still let a little Qi training girl escape from under the Zuo family's nose?!"
The Sixth Elder briefly informed the situation of the fight in Xuanmiao Sect. At the end, he said: "Ji Chaoling is dead. Xuanmiao Sect is now led by Ji Xiyan and is under our control. We don't have to worry about it supporting Xiaoyao City. It will be much easier for you to attack Xiaoyao City, and it won't be a wasted trip. If you just focus on Fuyou, you may get into some trouble..."
"how?"
"When Du Pan led people to hunt her, they encountered a beast tide. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else, but later someone secretly shot an arrow, and the arrow head was a golden dragon's fang. How could an ordinary person have such a thing? Putting the two things together, everyone suspected that it was the dragon clan who was secretly doing it. Even if it was not the dragon clan, it must be the power of the dragon clan. The guardian said that this matter cannot be delayed for a moment. Even if the Qilin marrow cannot be obtained, it must not be taken away by the dragon clan. The guardian has ordered martial law throughout the continent and personally led people to search for her. He also asked you to capture Xiaoyao City as soon as possible."
Zuo Qingfeng put his hands behind his back, slapped the back of his left hand on the palm of his right hand, and said slowly: "I was counting on big brother to bring some people to help, to see the Qilin marrow. If he took this little girl Gu Fuyou as a shield under the city, do you think his father would not be soft-hearted? This Xiaoyao City would be at least half easier to attack. What do you think of big brother's handling of this matter?" He sighed and said: "Big brother has been obsessed with cultivation these years, and he was negligent in the end. It's better to be decisive and act properly than before."
The Sixth Elder asked, "How to attack Xiaoyao City? Do you have any idea in mind?"
Zuo Qingfeng smiled, revealing a row of sharp white teeth, bloodshot eyes, and murderous intent: "How to fight? Fight hard! I have long wanted to meet this bird that walks on the sky, to see how high he can fly."
"Be careful, Gu Wanpeng is not someone you can easily deal with. The guardian wants Tianlang to gain experience this time, so I ask you to take good care of him."
Zuo Qingfeng laughed and said, "Don't worry. I will do better than my elder brother. After we conquer Xiaoyao City, we are not afraid that Gu Fuyou will not come back obediently." He paused for a moment, then thought of something and said, "Just in case, send someone to Dongzhou to watch. The Lu family and the Gu family in Gucheng, Dongzhou have been friends for generations. Gu Shuangqing is also the son-in-law of Lu Yandong. It is possible that this little girl will see that the situation is not good and go directly to Dongzhou to find the Lu family and borrow people from them, or find the Biluo Sect through the Lu family and let the three sects intervene."
The Sixth Elder said, "The Dharma Protector sent people there early in the morning. Now that we have evidence that the Dragon Clan was involved, we don't have to worry about the three sects standing on their side."
As the two were talking, Zuo Tianlang rode over on a spirit beast. The spirit beast was pitch black, with snake-like body and fish-like scales, and two claws. From a distance, it looked a bit like a black dragon. When you look closer, you can see that the spirit beast has no dragon horns, but only two flesh wings extending from the sides of its head, and flames burning on its sharp claws. Zuo Tianlang said, "Second uncle, the elder asked me to ask when to attack the city."
Zuo Tianlang was released by Zuo Yuezhi to train. Nanzhou had been peaceful for too long, so he wanted to let these pampered children come out to experience some hardships. After they become immortals, they can rest assured that the younger generation will inherit their legacy. Zuo Tianlang was also happy to come out. When he heard that it was a battle against Xiaoyao City and he could meet Gu Shuangqing, he couldn't wait.
Zuo Qingfeng glanced towards Xiaoyao City and said in a deep voice: "Now!"
Gu Fuyou and the others walked all the way to the southeast. Although it was the cheapest to use the teleportation array to go to Xiaoyao City, the array was always set up in the city. Now all the cities, big and small, were under martial law. The Zuo family released the portraits of the four people and hunted them down everywhere. Except for the two places of Xuanmiao Gate and Xiaoyao City, the entire Nanzhou was the territory of his Zuo family. No, now even Xuanmiao Gate might have fallen into the hands of the Zuo family.
It was too dangerous for the four of them to enter the city. If they were discovered by mistake, they could not afford the consequences. But even if they found a way through the mountains and fields, it was not easy to avoid the eyes and ears of the Zuo family. Flying a sword in the air was too conspicuous. The four of them often walked on land for an hour, then flew on the sword for another hour, and walked towards the desolate and uncultivated land.
Although Nanzhou is the territory of the Zuo family, it is not easy to find four people without any clues in such a large area. Gu Fuyou and his four companions turned into three people, and they kept their masks on all the way, so even if they met someone, they would not leave any impression. The journey was safe and sound, and they finally arrived at Fansheng Mountain. After leaving Fansheng Mountain, they went south for a hundred miles and arrived at Xiaoyao City.
Gu Fuyou became even more anxious and uneasy. She thought that maybe it was because she was closer to home that she felt more timid. At this moment, she wished she could open a teleportation formation that would connect her directly to Xiaoyao City, so that she could reach Xiaoyao City immediately.
The three were walking on the mountain path. Fansheng Mountain was not a barren mountain without any grass. Although the spiritual energy here was thin, there were many casual cultivators who came here to find caves for cultivation. Moreover, it was close to Xiaoyao City, so there must be people from the Zuo family lingering. The closer they were to the city, the more dangerous it was, and the more dangerous it was, the more cautious they had to be.
The three of them did not fly their swords, but climbed the mountain on foot. When they crossed the mountain stream, Liu Guizhen's expression changed and he said, "Someone is coming!" Then his expression froze slightly, and he paused, and said, "There are only three people, two in the east and one in the south. Their cultivation is not high, and they have just established their foundation..."
The three exchanged glances, thinking that it was better to avoid trouble if possible. The three walked away quickly, and only came to a boulder. There was a rustling sound in the bushes over there, and two people came out first, talking all the way, and walked to the stream, making a sound of water splashing, as if they were washing their hands and drinking water. Then they heard footsteps again, and another person came over, also seeming to be fetching water and taking a rest.
The two men were talking earlier. They sighed, "Alas, the fight between Xu Ling Sect and Xiao Yao City is so fierce that it almost affected innocent people like us, the independent cultivators. What do you think the Xu Ling Sect is up to? They want to unify Nanzhou."
Another person clicked his tongue and said, "Who knows. But then again, when the entire Nanzhou falls into the hands of the Zuo family, won't the Zuo family become even more arrogant? Life in Nanzhou is going to be difficult, with all the resources controlled by the Zuo family. There's no way for casual cultivators like us to make a name for ourselves."
"That's true. We might as well try our luck in other continents. Even if we go to Central Continent or Four Seas, they're probably better than staying in South Continent."
Later, that person asked, "Hey, brother, I heard that Xu Ling Sect and Xiao Yao City also started fighting?"
"Yes, we came from Xiaoyao City and were almost slaughtered by the Zuo family as if we were from Xiaoyao City. The fighting was so fierce that the sky was dark. If you go to the top of the mountain and look south, you can see that the sky in the east is blazing red. It's all caused by the war. I heard that this time even Zuo Taisui's spiritual beast, the Fire Cloud Dragon, was brought out. This is a huge investment, and they will not stop until Xiaoyao City is captured."
"Hey, this, the two sides have been living in peace, why did they start fighting?"
"I just don't know, brother. If you are going to Xiaoyao City, I advise you to change your route. Don't run into the Zuo family who are so bloodthirsty that they don't recognize anyone and suffer an unprovoked disaster."
"Oh, thank you, thank you for the reminder."
Gu Fuyou had been listening behind the boulder, her head buzzing. After the three men left, she called out, "Afu!" This voice was full of panic. Afu jumped out of his pocket and turned into his original size. Gu Fuyou flipped up and said, "Let's go to the top of the mountain!"
Liu Guizhen called out, "Junior Sister Gu."
Gu Fuyou ignored him. Dong Li and Liu Guizhen saw this and quickly followed him on their swords. The three of them reached the top of the mountain together. Looking southeast, the area where the sky and the earth met in the south was red, like the scene when the sun sets, burning the earth hot and fiery. However, it was not yet noon and it was cloudy. Clouds gathered above their heads and the light was dim.
Gu Fuyou was filled with boundless panic, cold sweat broke out on his neck, and he walked around unconsciously, saying helplessly, "I want to go home, I want to go back."
Huoyun Jiao, that is Zuo Taisui's spiritual beast. As a spiritual beast, it has cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Void Realm. It looks very much like a dragon. Some people secretly say that it is the blood of a dragon. Dragons are lustful and may have sex with anything, which is why it was born. It is like a golden dragon, belonging to the element of fire. The flames it spews out of its mouth can melt the walls of Xiaoyao City into magma.
The Zuo family even took it out. Gu Fuyou thought of the statue in the sky of Jingdu Mountain. He was pressed so hard that he couldn't breathe and his body was about to turn into blood mud. This time, will the Zuo family also use any means to deal with Xiaoyao City
Why, for what, was it because I killed Zuo Tianyi that all this started
All the hesitation, fear, self-blame, worry and anxiety were squeezed together, causing Gu Fuyou to have a splitting headache and his body to tremble as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Dong Li held Gu Fuyou's wrist and said, "Since the war has already started and Xiaoyao City has become a battlefield, we can't just go there easily." They originally wanted to use Xiaoyao City as a base to recall their disciples. But the Zuo family didn't even stop for a moment. After the battle with Xuanmiao Sect, they didn't make any adjustments or rest, but rushed straight to Xiaoyao City. They were so impatient, were they afraid that Xiaoyao City would get external aid, or for something else
They wanted to tell Gu Wanpeng to prepare early, but it was useless, the two sides had already started fighting. They wanted to call back their disciples, but there was no time. Now there was chaos over there, and there were people from the Zuo family outside, so it was even more difficult for them to enter the city.
If you go there rashly, you will be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Gu Fuyou was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he didn't listen at all: "I want to go back, even if I have to die, I want to go back. I want to go back."
She shook off Dong Li's hand and used some force. When she brought it back, she hit the belt. Zhong Michu was a dragon on the road. He had been sleeping in her belt, recovering from his injuries. Maybe it was because she hit it, the white dragon moved. Gu Fuyou's body stiffened and she quickly opened the belt to see. The white dragon was slightly curled up and slowly moved. It was unknown whether it was awake or not. It rubbed her fingers and gradually became motionless.
Gu Fuyou heaved a sigh of relief, and her heart inexplicably calmed down. She looked at Dong Li and said, "Senior Sister Dong Li, I'm sorry, just now I..."
Dong Li said: "I don't blame you, you have reason to be worried."
Gu Fuyou looked towards the south again, took a deep look, took a deep breath, and turned her back decisively. Her hands were still shaking, and her heart was helpless. She couldn't help but rub the white dragon inside the pocket with the back of her hand, and the trembling subsided.
She also figured it out in her heart. The war had already started. If she went back, it would be useless. She couldn't help at all. Her father was right. She didn't know Xiaoyao City. She didn't know what the city defense was like. She didn't know how much combat power Xiaoyao City had. She didn't know how to deploy troops and how to mobilize the power of the various families in the city. What could she do
The only thing we can do is to seek help.
