As the night deepened, it was nearing the third night watch period. Chu Yang sat like a rock, deep in thought. His sleeves gently fluttered in the night wind, but he did not move an inch.
The fourth night watch period arrived.
Heaven and earth suddenly fell into the deepest darkness.
Chu Yang was about to get up and return to his room when he suddenly felt something strange. His eyes suddenly became sharp as he looked towards the left side of the mountain road.
On the left side was a road that led to Beyond the Heavens Sect. It diverged from another mountain range and was very hidden.
Under Chu Yang's gaze, a few shadows suddenly appeared at the bottom of the cliff. They were as fast as the wind and disappeared like ghosts in the dark night. The direction they disappeared in was actually the direction of Beyond the Heavens Sect.
Chu Yang's eyes narrowed. The fourth night watch period was the best time for night walkers to move! Moreover, the darkest time was less than half an hour. These people had clearly been hiding here for a long time, but they had to wait until now to act.
They definitely did not have good intentions!
Thinking of Meng Ran's words about protecting Beyond the Heavens Sect, Chu Yang's eyes became serious. He suddenly got up and rushed down the cliff like a meteor. Using the cliff wall as support, he reached the bottom. Then, using the mountain rocks and trees as cover, he quickly chased after the three people.
Although he was only a first grade Martial Warrior, he was not the least bit afraid! Even if he was no match for them, he was still confident that he could escape. If these people really had bad intentions, Chu Yang felt that he was quite competent in causing trouble.
He chased after them for a few miles.
Chu Yang's movements were light and graceful, seemingly slow but actually fast. If there was an expert watching from the side, he would definitely be shocked. Every place he landed was an absolute blind spot. As he flew, he constantly used objects to cover his body.
He seemed to be looking for temporary cover, but every time, it was absolutely flawless! His body was floating a few feet away, but his eyes were always looking for cover within a few feet of him. He had already made a perfect plan!
Chu Yang continued to move forward. After chasing for five miles, he could already see the mountain gate of Beyond the Heavens Sect in the distance. Chu Yang suddenly felt something and immediately stopped. His body flashed and he was already in the shadows.
Then, he laid his body flat on the mountain rock and moved forward. Although it was a little slow, there was absolutely no sound coming from him …
The three shadows were waiting quietly in a valley at the corner of the mountain.
Not far in front of them was the mountain gate of Beyond the Heavens Sect. Over there, there were younger brothers who were on duty day and night. Moreover, there were quite a few of them. Each mountain peak sent out one person to supervise and restrict each other, as well as to keep each other company.
Other than the Purple Bamboo Garden, the other peaks of Beyond the Heavens Sect were all within this mountain gate.
These people obviously didn't dare to force their way in. Although they were not afraid of these gatekeepers with their strength, they would still alert the enemy.
It seemed like they were waiting, or were they going to meet here? Chu Yang thought to himself. Then, he slowly moved forward another thirty feet. He was now less than a hundred feet away from those three people.
The three of them were all Black Turban Sect's G-faces. They were carefully hiding behind a large rock. Chu Yang looked at the place where they were hiding, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. [These three people seem to be Jiang Hu veterans.] The place they chose to hide in was a blind spot on three sides. Moreover, this was the only side where there were two exits. One of the exits was relatively hidden. In other words, even if there was an accident, they could escape quickly and not be caught by the enemy.
Chu Yang held his breath. His body was like a rock as he quietly waited. His patience and confidence could be compared to anyone in the world!
Time slowly slipped away. Among the three people, a slightly thin figure seemed to be somewhat impatient. He slightly adjusted his posture and whispered, "What's going on? Didn't we agree on this time? Why hasn't that damned guy come yet? "
"Don't be impatient." Another black-clothed man cautiously looked around and whispered a warning. Then, he raised his head and looked around. He suspiciously said, "Why do I feel like there's movement?"
Hearing this, the other two also became alert. They pricked up their ears and looked around.
Chu Yang's breathing rate remained the same. He treated their words as farts. Motionless.
This was a kind of reaction. It was like a person walking alone at night. If someone was following behind him, he would have this kind of reaction even if he didn't turn his head. Not to mention martial artists, even ordinary people had this kind of reaction ability.
But if he turned his head and didn't find anything, he would just treat it as an illusion.
Sure enough, after the three people looked around, they all relaxed. The black-clothed man who said there was movement laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I was being paranoid."
"It's always right to be cautious." The other two whispered.
At this moment, there was a movement from the mountain gate. A voice shouted, "Who is it?"
A steady and low voice said, "It's me!"
"Oh, it's second martial uncle. I've been disrespectful. "
"Mm."
"Is second martial uncle going to practice martial arts?"
"Yes, this is the best time to practice martial arts. You people must also remember that hard work can make up for your lack of talent. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the thickest in the morning. It's the best time to practice martial arts. "
"Yes, we will follow second martial uncle's teachings."
A black shadow slowly walked over. Behind him, the disciple who was guarding the gate was still praising, "Second martial uncle is worthy of being a big figure in our sect. His martial arts are high, but he's easy to approach. He's also very diligent. Every day at this time, he comes out to practice. This perseverance is really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it. "
Another voice said, "That's right. What kind of person is second martial uncle? How can you compare to him?"
Chu Yang's heart shook. This person was second martial uncle Li Jinsong! Li Jian's father. The master of Locking Clouds Peak of Beyond the Heavens Sect, the second most important person!
Li Jinsong was dressed in martial arts clothes, carrying a long sword on his back. He looked like he was out to practice swordsmanship. He leisurely went out of the mountain gate. With a long body, he drew a beautiful arc. Behind him, there was another sound. Li Jinsong flew a few times and came to the corner. He turned a few more times and walked to the back of the huge rock.
It seemed that they had contacted each other more than once or twice. Chu Yang thought to himself. In addition, the disciple who was guarding the gate said, "Every day at this time, he comes out to practice martial arts." It was enough to show that Li Jinsong had done a lot of things in secret.
"Why did you come so late? Is there any news? "The skinny man asked impatiently in a low voice.
"Am I late?" Li Jinsong snorted. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with this question. He said, "Did you bring the things?"
"The things are not urgent." The other person quickly tried to smooth things over. He said, "Brother Li, quickly tell us about the recent changes in the situation."
Li Jinsong snorted and lowered his voice, "The situation is a bit strange. I want to ask, besides you, is there anyone else who has designs on Beyond the Heavens Sect?"
The three men in black were also startled. They looked at each other and said, "This is not clear. However, Beyond the Heavens Sect is in a precarious situation right now. There are many people who have designs on it. "
Li Jinsong made an "oh" sound and said, "Just a while ago, Wu Yun Liang sent Old Violent Lei to take two of his sect's most outstanding disciples and his daughter to Iron Cloud Nation."
"Iron Cloud Nation?" The three asked at the same time.
"Yes, and … this trip was very secretive. But as far as I know, the four of them were intercepted more than once on the way. Obviously, someone did not want them to go. Moreover, these people are very well-informed. "Li Jinsong said calmly.
Behind the rock, Chu Yang's heart shook. It seems that Li Jinsong was not the only spy!
"What is the purpose of going to Iron Cloud Nation?" The three men obviously did not care about the safety of Bao Kuang Lei and the others. They only wanted to know the reason.
"I don't know." Li Jinsong frowned and said, "But, no matter what, they went to Iron Cloud. For us, half of our goal has been achieved."
"Yes, Beyond the Heavens Sect is within Great Zhao's borders. Wu Yun Liang actually dared to send people to collude with Iron Cloud! He really has guts! "One of the men in black said gloomily.
"Is this the only news? Is it worth it for us to come all the way here? Brother Li, this is a bit too much. " The other man in black had a mask on his face, but from his voice, one could hear that he was smiling insincerely.
"Of course not. It's just that you promised something. It's time to fulfill it." Li Jinsong suppressed his anger and said, "You are from the imperial court and the military. You will not go back on your promises. Moreover, we have secretly pressured Wu Yun Liang to side with Iron Cloud. Even though the final decision has not been made, it is the same as saying that my mission has been accomplished … "
Secretly, Chu Yang was startled. The imperial court and the military? Beyond the Heavens Sect is only a sect. What does it have to do with the imperial court and the military?
And this imperial court is obviously the imperial court of Great Zhao!
Chu Yang faintly felt that a great conspiracy was in progress. Perhaps the destruction of Beyond the Heavens Sect in his previous life had a lot to do with this!
