Katsuragi is already a city very close to the border.
Elder Chen arranged for a group of people to live in several nearby inns with various identities one after another, and went out for a few times by himself, asking some shady connections in private. The situation was very bad, and they either waved their hands repeatedly to say that they couldn't do it, or they were vague.
Elder Chen, who is well-known in Kyushu Bank for being timid and tactful, saw the ambiguous words of these turtle grandchildren, and kept a few extra thoughts. After leaving, he quickly changed his makeup and went back around. Sure enough, those guys who were smarter than anything else would lead the warriors with machetes on their waists to the place where Elder Chen met him before.
Elder Chen secretly scolded this group of turtle grandsons who were the best at cheating, and came back without leaving a trace.
But when he came back, he had no other choice but to sit face to face with the dead man.
Things were more difficult than they thought at the beginning. At the junction of Qi Qin, Jin Tang and Nan Chen, along the line from the Qi Qin Dynasty northward to Jiuxuanmen, the heavy troops of Nan Chen and Jin Tang set up a defense line that stretched thousands of miles. Elder Chen's cultivation base is not high, and he doesn't know much, but Elder Jiang can tell that the aura of those soldiers in heavy armor is very strange.
Although that kind of power is extremely weak in soldiers, it cannot be ignored.
It is somewhat similar to "demon", but it seems to be a higher level power.
Elder Jiang had a vague guess, and it was because of that guess that he made up his mind to break out of the line of defense and reach Jiuxuanmen at all costs.
"Well, I know I have to rush out, okay?"
As soon as the skinny old man said something, Elder Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth.
"In this situation, do you want to go out straight away? Look at those guys with scimitars in their waists and masks on their faces to let you go out. I tried my best to pull you here, isn't it? Let's see you go to die."
Elder Jiang frowned. He was used to a serious face, and his frown became more and more severe.
Elder Chen looked annoyed, cursed, went down to the ground, and began to rack his brains for a solution.
In fact, Elder Chen also knows that it doesn't matter whether you rush out or stay here, the danger is the same. They are now hiding in the small inn. Although there will be no danger for a while, Gecheng's investigation is so strict, the possibility of being discovered will increase over time.
Either way, it looks like it's going to be finished.
……………………………………………………………………
When old man Chen felt pain from thinking about it, a group of people were walking quietly in the dense forest.
Bai Li was leading the way at the front of the team. Except for Bai Li, all the elders of the sect participated in this operation. Bai Li had already expected this. But after knowing who the elder who was leading the team was, Bai Li was still taken aback.
The elders who led the team didn't join in at the beginning. Their route to Qi Qin this time was a bit weird. They didn't take the nearest route to go directly from Jiuxuan Gate to the Qi Qin Dynasty, but took a detour. Across the middle of the Jintang Dynasty. Everyone knows that the Jintang Dynasty is also one of the participants this time, but the Jintang Dynasty has not made a public statement so far, and the two sides have maintained a superficial peace.
But it is only a superficial peace.
Taking Huai River, which divides the north-south boundary in the middle of the Jintang Dynasty, as the boundary line, some abnormal conditions have appeared in the Qingming Pagoda near the Wangcheng part in the south. In the south of Jintang, Qingming Pagoda was built only in the larger states and counties. Since the Qi Qin Dynasty incident, Jiuxuanmen also urgently contacted the southern branch and the elders guarding the southern Qingming Pagoda when cleaning the sect.
The connection was made, but Yi Heping didn't feel that it was really like the news that came back, nothing happened.
So this time when they went to the Qi and Qin Dynasty to pick up the remnants of the Kyushu bank, they took a detour to the middle of the Jin and Tang Dynasties.
On the one hand, it is to avoid the heavy defenses that must be buried on the shortest road from Jiuxuanmen to Qiqin, and cut in from the weak point from the side and rear. On the other hand, it is also to explore the situation in the Jintang Dynasty. This investigation was extremely secretive and low-key, the elders only took a look outside the city in the dark, and neither passed through the Qingming Tower nor entered any city along the way. Fortunately, these elders' cultivation was extremely high, so they were able to support this level of hurrying. The only one with insufficient cultivation was Bai Li, who was taken by the elders in turn.
Although Bai Li said that he knew more than other disciples, he didn't know much about the real secret.
So along the way, Bai Li only saw the faces of the elders getting more and more serious, but he didn't know why.
She only saw some soldiers in armor patrolling the cities of the states and counties. It seemed that there was no difference except that the armor on the soldiers was a little strange.
After passing through several states and counties in a row, the elders arrived at a place that seemed to be guided by signals.
Waiting there was Elder Qin who was dressed in a black robe and had announced his retreat as early as the accident in Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda.
When seeing Elder Qin, Bai Li felt that he vaguely understood something, and there seemed to be more things he didn't understand.
Elder Qin was carrying a saber on his back, and his figure standing in the darkness almost melted into the night. Compared with the usual appearance of Li Pulse still yelling at his disciples like a bunch of idiots, Elder Qin standing in the night is simply another people. Silent, cold, and seemed to have aged a lot.
After seeing Elder Qin, the elder who led the team had a secret conversation with him for a long time, and finally Elder Qin handed over a ring to the elder.
The elder nodded, left the team, and returned to Jiuxuanmen. The next team leader became Elder Qin.
After reuniting with Elder Qin, they stopped investigating the situation inside the Jin Tang, and headed obliquely to the northeast, and set off behind the defense line of the Qi Qin Dynasty. After they stopped investigating, they moved faster, and today they arrived not far from the border of the Qi and Qin Dynasty, and there is a larger city, Gecheng, a little further east.
Although it is said that this is the weakest place behind the defensive line, this weakness is actually only relative.
In just a few tens of miles, the elders have used their spiritual knowledge to influence more than a dozen Lingxiao birds, causing them to leave vaguely.
Lingxiao bird, this kind of spirit bird that was ubiquitous in the twelve dynasties, was considered untamable by everyone before, has completely become a slave bird controlled by the dynasty. They are the ubiquitous surveillance eyes, and also the hidden and undetectable message birds. Someone in the dynasty has developed a way to control this bird, forming a secret network belonging to the dynasty.
When they reached the border of the blockade, the secret team finally stopped.
Although the territory of the Qi and Qin Dynasty was strictly guarded, under such a complicated situation, it was impossible for the Qi and Qin Dynasty to control every place. After Jiuxuanmen lost some people, they still stayed in the Qi and Qin Dynasty. part of the people. According to the information they received, a group of remnants of the Kyushu Bank arrived in Katsuragi, but this group of people from the Kyushu Bank were exceptionally smooth and agile, their identities changed, and the people hiding in the territory of Qi and Qin had no way of contacting them superior.
Knowing that Jiang Chi was the elder leading the Kyushu bank, Elder Qin's first reaction was: what a joke.
He knew Jiang Chi, who was considered the most stubborn and least in the Kyushu Bank. He was a rare sword cultivator in the Kyushu Bank. He joined the Kyushu Bank because of his lack of talent. But this Jiangchi is also a talent. With the help of the wealth and wealth of the Kyushu Bank, he stunned that he, who is not very talented, has researched an alternative way of sword cultivation.
Although the path he took did not conform to the normal way of sword cultivation, Jiang Chi was indeed a thorough sword cultivation as a human being.
A handful of old bones, dry and hard, the kind that makes people have a headache.
Elder Qin would believe whoever survived and fled to a place close to the border with his disciples, but he didn't believe that it would be that stubborn guy in Jiangchi. Like Jiang Chi, no matter how you think about it, he is an idiot who would rather be broken than whole. He probably fought desperately with others, and in the end he killed the enemy and himself.
Head-to-head confrontation is Jiang Chi's style on the front.
Elder Qin's temper wasn't too good either. He fought a lot with Jiang Chi back then, so he could be regarded as a deadly enemy. It didn't stop until both of them became important elders in the sect.
When he knew about the Kyushu Bank Incident, Elder Qin was thinking about whether to burn some paper money for Jiangchi for the sake of calling so many times at the beginning.
In the end, Jiang Chi survived.
Not only did he survive, but he also fled to Katsuragi with a few disciples.
It was only when the second message came that Elder Qin's astonishment was relieved.
It turned out that the old fried dough stick surnamed Chen followed them, no wonder Jiang Chi didn't explain halfway through that old bone.
Knowing that Elder Chen was with him, Elder Qin was not so worried about the remaining people from the Kyushu Bank—with that fat man around, these people would probably not die for a while.
But it is a problem to meet the people from Kyushu Bank.
The Qingming Pagoda inside Gecheng has been transformed. After entering Gecheng, people like Elder Qin will be suppressed to a certain extent. Moreover, Gecheng's access control is extremely strict, and it seems that he is also on guard against someone entering the country to meet the remnants of the Kyushu Bank. The people from Jiuxuanmen were not sure about the situation in the city, and they didn't know the exact location of those people in Jiangchi, so they couldn't directly enter Gecheng, lest they not only failed to pick them up, but also got into their hands.
