Following the trajectory of the insects and beasts, Yang Qi and the other two followed from a distance, tracking them all the way for hundreds of miles.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yang Qi frowned.
"What's wrong?" Yun Lan looked at Yang Qi.
"He stopped." Yang Qi said in a deep voice. According to the information sent by the Eight-Winged Golden Cicada, the burly man did not continue on his way, but stopped.
"There are no barren mountains or swamps ahead, nor any important cities. Why did he stop?" Liu Fei frowned.
According to the information from Wanxiang Tower, the Blood Moon Hall's lair should be somewhere in the Nanmang Mountains. The place in front of us naturally cannot be the Blood Moon Hall's lair, and there is no important city in front of us. Why would the other party stop
"There is a small town ahead." Yang Qi said.
"Anshan Town!"
As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, Yun Lan on the side spoke up. Yun Lan had already known the situation nearby, so he naturally knew that the town ahead was a town called Anshan Town.
Anshan Town is not big, only about ten miles in radius, and the strongest person in the town is only a low-level martial arts master. There are so many small towns like this in Zichen Continent, and it can be said that it is inconspicuous. If Yun Lan had not done a detailed study of the area around Shihe City before this mission, he probably wouldn't have known the name of this town.
"Why would a mid-level martial arts master like him come to this small town?" Liu Fei asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Anshan Town is not a rock town. It is not close to major transportation routes, and there are no large mountains nearby that produce natural treasures. Only some practitioners pass by occasionally. What is a mid-level martial arts master doing here
Yun Lan hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Let's go into the town first. We can't let go of this clue."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. There were many people in the town, and it was not easy for him to let the Eight-Winged Golden Cicada go deep into the town to investigate. If he wanted to continue tracking the six-star martial master, he had to enter the town himself.
Not long after, Yang Qi and the other two arrived at Anshan Town. Compared to Panshi Town, Anshan Town was much smaller and usually no strong people came here.
“This is it.”
Yang Qi looked at an inn in the distance. After the burly man entered the town, he came to this inn.
"He is still in the inn. Apart from him, there are no other martial masters in the inn. There is nothing strange in the inn." Yun Lan sensed it carefully before speaking.
"Wait... He has set up a formation to isolate the aura." At this moment, Yun Lan spoke again.
A formation that isolates the aura
Yang Qi and Liu Fei looked at each other and frowned slightly. In a place like this, there was only one possibility for setting up a formation to isolate the aura, and that was to practice in seclusion!
A mid-level martial arts master went to an unknown town to practice in seclusion
Anshan Town is not a paradise. In fact, because it is located in the Mingyue Dynasty, although it is not close to major transportation routes, it is often harassed by some forces. It is not particularly safe. Why would you practice in seclusion in this place
"This person is very suspicious!" Yun Lan said in a deep voice.
Not only did he have contact with the Deng family, but he also suddenly went to such a small town to go into seclusion. It seemed strange no matter how you looked at it!
"Let's stay nearby and observe secretly!" Yang Qi thought for a while and said.
Yun Lan nodded slightly. The other party suddenly stopped in the town in front of him. Maybe someone would come to this inconspicuous town to contact him. Maybe he could get some useful information by secretly monitoring them.
…
Nanmang Mountains.
The Nanmang Mountains itself covers an area of tens of thousands of miles and is a dangerous place on par with the Ferocious Beast Mountains. Even the nearby Nanman Land is like the Northern Wilderness, a paradise for countless monsters. In its depths, there are even monsters at the level of Martial King.
However, compared to the Fierce Beast Mountains, the Nanmang Mountains were more chaotic, and killing was more common here. There were frequent fights between the small countries supported by the Holy Empire and the small countries supported by the Great Chu Empire. The most famous of them was the Blood Moon Hall, which had been rampant in the Bright Moon Dynasty and the Holy Light Dynasty for decades, and even the two dynasties had joined forces and could not eradicate it.
At this moment, in a mountainside on the outskirts of Nanmang Mountains, inside a magnificent palace.
A man in a blood-red robe was sitting at the top seat, emitting an evil and powerful aura. On both sides below him, there was a figure standing.
One was a burly middle-aged man, whose cultivation had reached the nine-star martial arts level. The muscles exposed to the air were full of strength.
The other one was a thin and short old man. His face was covered with green lines, like little snakes wriggling on his face.
"The hall master has given the order. We will take action this time." The blood-robed man said indifferently, "The target has been chosen. It is Anshan Town."
"Is Anshan Town too close to Shihe City?" the burly man frowned.
There are many strong men in Shihe City. If those strong men come out to make trouble, their plans are likely to fail. Once they fail, the hall master will definitely punish them.
"Hmph, so what if we are close to Shihe City? We have supported the Deng family for so long, it is time to let them contribute. Moreover, the Deng family has not been very honest during this period. We should take this opportunity to let them know that our Blood Moon Hall is not something they can contend with." The short old man sneered, "If we choose a place too far away, it will not have a deterrent effect at all. Besides, Anshan Town has a relatively larger population, so once it succeeds, the benefits will be greater."
"Of course I know these principles, but we are too close to Shihe City. If the Deng family cannot stop the strong men from Shihe City, we will be in trouble." The burly man said in a low voice.
"For the great cause of the Divine Religion, how can we be timid?" The short old man sneered.
"Okay, no need to argue." The blood-stained robe man glanced at the two of them and continued, "This time we'll be in Anshan Town. Who of you is willing to make this trip?"
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for the religion. I will go in person this time." The short old man said coldly.
Hearing this, the burly man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Although the short old man in front of him was as powerful as him, even the man in the blood-stained robe had to address him as senior brother, let alone him.
"In that case, Senior Brother Shangguan, I'll have to trouble you to make the trip in person this time." The man in the blood-stained robe looked at the short old man and said sternly.
"Don't worry, Commander. I will definitely handle this matter properly this time." The short old man smiled slightly.
"Tao Dongchen is already in Anshan Town. He will pick you up. Then we will take over Anshan Town in one fell swoop. We must not allow any failure." The man in the blood-stained robe said indifferently.
The short old man nodded when he heard this. This action only happens once every few years, and even the forces scattered around take turns to launch it. This time it is the turn of the Blood Moon Hall. If they do a good job, the top leaders of the Divine Religion will definitely give them a lot of rewards.
The short old man's life span is coming to an end. If he doesn't take this opportunity to perform well, he may just have to wait until his life span comes to an end and die of old age. If he seizes this opportunity, he may have a chance to enter the level of martial honor. (To be continued)
