The next morning, the stall owner who delivered food to Wuhun Palace saw that no one came to pick up the food, so he boldly entered Wuhun Palace to find out what was going on.
Unexpectedly, when he walked into it, it was filled with the corpses of strong men from Wuhun Palace. Even Miles died in the office.
The news of the massacre of Wuhun Palace spread like wildfire. People in Gengxin City rushed to the streets and announced the good news with loud gongs and drums. Apparently, they had been bullied by Wuhun Palace before. .
Of course, many people are curious about what happened in Wuhun Hall last night.
After all, with the strength of Wuhun Palace, no one in Gengxin City can kill everyone in Wuhun Palace without any movement.
Some sharp-eyed people said that they saw a hundred thousand year soul ring in the sky above Wuhun Palace last night.
As for the real situation, the citizens did not care, so as the citizens continued to spread rumors among themselves, multiple versions of the story emerged.
In short, Miles offended some unknown strong man and was slaughtered along with the Wuhun Palace.
Martial Spirit City.
There was no work report from Miles in the papal palace for a long time, so Pope Bibi Dong sent someone to investigate the situation.
The investigative commissioner had just entered the city and before officially launching the investigation, he heard the citizens discussing the destruction of the Wuhun Palace in the city after tea and dinner.
The investigator was a little unconvinced at first.
With the strength of Wuhun Palace, no one on the mainland dares to destroy a branch palace. This would be equivalent to declaring war on Wuhun Palace.
But when he arrived at the location of the Wuhun Palace in Gengxin City, he could not believe the situation before him.
This place has long been smashed into ruins by the angry crowd, and the internal traces of the battle have long been buried under the ruins.
The investigators simply cleared an area and soon discovered a decomposing body. But when they wanted to further examine the cause of death of the body, their actions were discovered by the people in the city.
For a time, a large number of people surrounded them, with great momentum to take action.
Seeing that something was not going well, the investigating officer dared to stay here longer and fled back to Wuhun City in despair.
As for the specific reasons for the destruction of Wuhun Palace in Gengxin City, several investigators exchanged confessions with each other and reported to Bibi Dong based on a version of the story circulated in the city.
On the mainland, there are only a few people with hundred thousand year soul rings.
With the strength and ability to quietly destroy the Wuhun Palace in Gengxin City overnight, and with the relocation of the Blacksmith Association, Bibi Dong suddenly had the answer in his heart - Tang Hao!
After all, Tang Hao is also a master craftsman in this world, and Lou Gao is likely to be convinced by him.
Yes or no, it is not important to Bibi Dong. What is important is to use this to give an explanation to Wuhun Hall.
Of course, these are all things for later.
……
In the early morning, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong were about to return, and Feng Xiaotian and others saw them off.
"Tianchen, if our three families can join the Tianjian Sect, please help me settle my clan members." Feng Xiaotian bowed slightly and said solemnly.
Ning Tianchen helped him up and said with a smile, "Xiaotian, if the three Feng Shui and Fire families join the sect, they will all be their own people in the future. Don't worry, even without me, Yang Wudi and the other three elders, They will be settled as well.”
Yu Diexiao. He smiled and said: "Don't forget the promise you gave me. My father has been wandering with us sisters for many years. He needs a backer, a backer who will not care about past grudges."
The information previously obtained from Qian Renxue , it has been confirmed that Zhang Erhe is innocent.
However, at present, he cannot show too close relationship with Wuhun Palace, and redress can only wait for the future.
Zhang Erhe is mainly responsible for intelligence collection. He does not need to come to the surface to avoid some troubles.
Especially after establishing the sect, Zhang Erhe must not be exposed to the eyes of all parties to avoid a direct conflict with the Star Luo Empire.
About a few minutes later, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong boarded the carriage and drove towards the north.
Feng Xiaotian and others cannot remain idle, they need to assist the Blacksmith Association in relocating.
Of course, before returning, Ning Tianchen had already written back to the Qibao Glazed Sect and Tianjian Sect. Soon, the two sects would send people to meet them on the way.
In the carriage, Ning Tianchen opened the map.
This is a confidential map with detailed terrain information marked on it. The height of mountains and rivers, the width and depth of rivers can be clearly seen on the map.
"Brother Tianchen, how about we rush out of the border overnight and enter the Tiandou Empire anyway, we will be safe." Ning Rongrong suggested.
The Star Luo Empire and the Tiandou Empire implemented completely different strategies during wartime.
The Star Luo Empire has very loose domestic control, but private travel abroad is not allowed. You must obtain special approval from the governors of various places before you can leave the Star Luo Empire during wartime.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect does not have many properties in the Star Luo Empire and its influence is very limited. Therefore, it is impossible for Ning Tianchen to obtain the customs clearance documents. They must find another way when they return.
Ning Tianchen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Our identities are too sensitive. If we are recognized when we forcefully break through the border, we will be in big trouble."
If you want to break through, It is necessary to use martial arts. The Seven Killing Sword and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial arts are so recognizable. Once he is recognized, the Star Luo Empire will definitely take the opportunity to launch a public opinion war and put pressure on the Tiandou Empire.
Silent for a long time, Ning Rongrong marked a road on the map, "Brother Tianchen, the route you gave the Blacksmith Association is from the Star Dou Forest to the north and into the Tiandou Empire."
"I haven't seen a good route so far. How about we also go through the Star Forest?"
Ning Tianchen shook his head, "Although this road will not attract the attention of the Star Luo Empire, it is relatively far away. , and it’s not very safe.”
“Counting the days, the sect’s construction is almost completed, and we must go back to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible.”
After thinking about it, he pointed to a relatively small area. "Let's go through this way. The border here is far away from the war zone, and the defense will be looser. When we get close to the border, we abandon the carriage and climb over overnight."
...
At the same time, after many days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Tang San and his party finally walked out of the Star Dou Forest and rested briefly in the nearby Flowing Water City.
This city was the first city Ning Tianchen entered when he left the Killing City.
Originally, the Hong family ran many industries here. Due to the situation on the mainland and Hong Xinyue’s relationship, they became the agents of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in the Star Luo Empire’s commercial market. Now they are no longer limited to this. With three acres of land, the family moved to Xingluo City.
The journey for Tang San and his party was really difficult. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the city guards when they entered the city, they once again divided into small teams.
When they set off, there were nearly two hundred people in the team, but during the process of marching in the Star Forest, twenty disciples of the Force Clan stayed there forever.
You know, they plunged into the most dangerous soul beast forest with almost no preparation.
Among the twenty people who died, only one was killed by a spirit beast. Half of the remaining nineteen people either died of malnutrition, and the other half were unfamiliar with the terrain and fell. He fell into a deeper cave and died.
Of course, although there are many soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, they do not dare to easily provoke large groups of soul beasts, which leads to them being hungry most of the time along the way.
Even if prey is caught, it will be given to Tang San and others first.
One can imagine what kind of hardships the disciples of the Li clan have experienced along the way.
Entering the hotel, Tang San and others quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Tan Tan said anxiously: "Young Master, think of a solution quickly. After this trip, the family disciples are very dissatisfied with you, and some are even planning to leave the team."
No one can bear the pain of not being able to eat or sleep well on the road, and being treated like an ox or a horse! With the prestige of Titan, it can be suppressed for the time being, but once someone resists, it will become a prairie fire and spread quickly.
If the long blockage is not cured, it will surely fall apart.
Of course Tang San knew that the disciples of the Force Clan were dissatisfied with him, but in the Star Dou Forest, even if they had money, they couldn't buy food, so these people could only grit their teeth and persist.
Now that we have survived and arrived in the city, if we don’t give the disciples of the Li Clan some sweet things, the team may really break up.
Before he could speak, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to take out 20,000 gold soul coins from the soul guide, "Master Taitan, this money will be used to improve food for everyone, and tell everyone that before we set off, we will Prepare enough dry food so that everyone can rest assured that you won’t have to suffer from hunger on the road.”
Tatan’s brows relaxed slightly and he clasped his fists, “Thank you, master. I’ll go and stabilize the family members first, and you guys can talk.” ”
After speaking, Titan left the room.
"Teacher, thank you very much." Tang San said weakly.
Leading a team of 200 people and causing so many casualties just by crossing the Star Forest. If the Tang Sect goes through war in the future, we don’t know how many people will die.
Tang San fell into self-doubt.
He was wondering, could he really be a good sect leader?
Tang Xiao noticed his expression, smiled, patted his shoulder, and sat next to him, "Xiao San, do you know what kind of Haotian Sect I took over?"
Tang San was not born at that time, so he didn't know the specific situation.
But thinking about it, the situation will not be much better.
Tang Yuehua answered: "Xiaosan, when Brother Xiao took over the sect, the sect had just experienced the war with Wuhun Palace, and its foundation was unstable and shaky."
"But from today on Look, there is no doubt about Brother Xiao’s ability. He led the Haotian Sect from the lowest point to develop step by step.”
It’s a pity that if it weren’t for the soul hunting operation launched by Wuhun Palace, the Haotian Sect would have been able to accumulate strength for a few more years. There will be a huge leap forward.
Tang Xiao's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he quickly collected his emotions. He smiled and said, "Xiao San, no one is born a leader. They all have to learn and grow over a long period of time."
"With me by your side, And Master, if you encounter problems, we will help you deal with them. Of course, I hope you can’t just rely on external forces. You need to make continuous progress.”
Yu Xiaogang then said: "Xiao San, do you still remember how I taught you back then?"
"Leading a sect is the same as practicing, it requires one step at a time, there is no shortcut."
"To be honest, you are growing up so fast now that it stuns me. At this age, I would never be able to do what you do."
After some encouragement, Tang San regained his confidence.
But the burden on him is still very heavy. It is not easy to establish the Tang Sect, rebuild the Haotian Sect, and take revenge on the Wuhun Palace.
Tang San arranged: "Uncle, you secretly assist Senior Tai Tan to stabilize the mood of the Li Clan disciples. If anyone secretly defectes, kill them on the spot."
If someone defectes, they will be exposed. whereabouts, thus causing unnecessary trouble.
In order for the rest of the journey to go smoothly, Tang San must be ruthless.
Tang Xiao readily agreed.
Tang San was able to kill decisively, which proved that their teachings during this period were effective.
……
A few days later.
Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong crossed the border of the Star Luo Empire overnight and successfully arrived in the Tiandou Empire.
After advancing for a few days, they came to a city gate.
Looking up, the plaque on the city gate clearly says "Yelin City".
Ning Rongrong smiled brightly, pointed at the plaque and said, "Brother Tianchen, you promised Rongrong back then."
Ning Tianchen rubbed her forehead, softly He said, "I haven't forgotten. I wonder if there are any lantern festivals in the city?"
Yelin City's lantern festivals are famous in the mainland, and the lantern festivals happen to be held in recent days.
However, the two empires are now at war on the border. As a border city, it is still unknown whether Yelin City will hold a lantern festival.
After entering the city, the two found a hotel to rest temporarily.
Through the hotel windows, you can see the people coming and going on the street.
These people did not seem to feel any urgency due to the arrival of the war. Instead, they were buying something on the street with joy on their faces.
Seeing this situation, Ning Rongrong smiled and said: "Brother Tianchen, I'm afraid there will be a lantern festival tonight."
Ning Tianchen nodded and took her downstairs.
The hotel they live in is on the edge of Yelling City, not next to the downtown area.
The two walked around the city and quickly found the downtown area.
Since it is still afternoon, it is not very busy here, and there are more vendors selling lantern festival supplies.
Ning Rongrong took Ning Tianchen's arm and walked to a stall.
Ning Rongrong was choosing her favorite paper lanterns, while Ning Tianchen was chatting with the boss.
"By the way, the border between the two countries is not peaceful, so why is there still a lantern festival held in Yelin City?" Ning Tianchen asked.
The boss looked at him and said with a complex expression: "During this special period, guests can come to Yelin City from other places, so I guess my family has some strength."
"Hey~ It would be good to have business this year. In previous years, there would be no out-of-towners coming to join in the fun, but if there were no Wuhun Hall, we vendors who make paper lanterns would be hungry this year."
The boss revealed a lot.
There was a war going on on the border, and Yelin City was under great defense pressure. The city lord had no intention of holding a lantern festival.
But for some unknown reason, Wuhun Palace actually hosted the lantern festival in person this year, and even put pressure on the Star Luo Empire in order for the lantern festival to be held normally.
The Xingluo Empire's army dared to attack Yelin City during the Lantern Festival, which was equivalent to declaring war on Wuhun Palace.
In this battle, both sides are fighting for the attitude of Wuhun Palace. Of course, the Star Luo Empire does not dare to offend Wuhun Palace.
Therefore, during the lantern festival, Yelin City is undoubtedly the safest city on the border of the Tiandou Empire.
"I see." Ning Tianchen nodded thoughtfully.
Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang once came to the Yelin City Lantern Festival. In the original time and space, Bibi Dong declared war on the two empires, and the Wuhun Empire quickly captured Yelin City.
Thinking about it, Bibi Dong should know that there will be no lantern festival for a long time in the future.
This lantern festival, I think it was her order. (End of this chapter)
