"Mi Su, how far is it from here to the Green Hill Kingdom?" Hu Bugui suddenly asked.
"It's not far. The Green Hill Fox Clan has a large population and our clan has been expanding over the years. Once we pass the col in front, we will see a village." Mi Su pointed ahead and said.
Hearing this, Hu Bugui nodded and looked in that direction.
Very quickly, the three of them turned around the col and saw the small village in the distance.
It did not look much different from a human village, except that the houses built by the Fox Clan were mostly circular semi-underground buildings with round wooden walls and wooden planks and hay covering the roofs.
What was different was that the houses of the Fox Clan all had two to three doors in different directions.
Seeing this, Mi Su was about to rush over but was stopped by Shen Luo.
"Wait, something's not right."
It was currently dusk, which should be the time for families to prepare dinner. However, the village was deathly silent. There was not the slightest bit of smoke rising from the kitchen. It looked as if no one lived there.
Shen Luo immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate. As expected, there was no one inside.
"How could this be?" Mi Su asked in surprise.
"Let's go and take a look." Shen Luo said as he walked in front.
Mi Su followed closely behind him and Hu Bugui naturally stood at the back to protect them.
But when the three of them entered the village, they found that the village was neat and tidy. There were no signs of damage to the houses and there were no signs of fighting.
"It looks like these villagers evacuated in an orderly manner and did not suffer an attack." Hu Bugui pointed at a few messy tracks that extended to the other end of the village.
"It looks like the Green Hill Kingdom also sensed the danger and evacuated all the villagers in advance." Shen Luo frowned.
"There's no time to lose. I'm afraid we have to hurry to the Green Hill Kingdom and find out what's going on. If the conflict is not resolved, I'm afraid the Great Tang and the Green Hill Kingdom will really go to war." Hu Bugui said.
The three of them immediately sped up and rushed to the Green Hill Kingdom.
…
On the morning of the second day, the three of them arrived at the deepest part of the Chaoyang Valley.
This was already the narrowest place in the entire valley. The towering mountain walls on the left and right were incomparably smooth. Under the reflection of the morning sun, they were suffused with a golden luster, looking splendid and brilliant.
Under the illumination of the golden light, a continuous building fortress stood in the valley between two mountain walls. Bathed in the dazzling light, it exuded a very unique aura.
Shen Luo and the other two stood outside the city, quietly watching the scene before them.
The little fox Mi Su was already used to this. Other than the joy of returning home, there was not much emotion in her eyes.
Shen Luo sighed with emotion. Perhaps the origin of Chaoyang Valley was because of this.
Only Hu Bu Gui had a complicated expression on his face. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
At this point, most of the doubts of the three people were resolved. The terrain outside the city was not flat. It formed platforms of different sizes in disorder. Hundreds of colorful tents of various sizes were set up on them.
The villagers of the empty villages that they had encountered on the way had all been settled here.
"Let's go, we'll enter the city now." Mi Su pulled on Shen Luo and Hu Bu Gui's sleeves and rushed to the city.
Before they reached the city gate, they attracted a series of exclamations.
The fox clan members who had just walked out of their tents in the morning were also very surprised to see Shen Luo, a human.
However, the three of them did not have time to care about it. They went straight to the city gate.
The fox clan cultivators stationed outside the city quickly rushed over and stopped the three of them.
"Who is trespassing in the Green Hill Kingdom?" The leading cultivator, who had a slender figure and an elegant appearance, asked.
As he spoke, his aura spread out. He was a cultivator in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm.
"Grandma Li, why are you guarding the gate here?" Mi Su saw this and exclaimed in surprise.
The cultivator's attention was originally on Shen Luo. When he heard this, he looked again and exclaimed in surprise, "Little Mi Su, you're back. Quick, let grandma take a look. Are you hurt?"
You Li looked very young and did not look much older than Mi Su. The scene of the two of them looking like a granddaughter was somewhat strange.
"Ahem, Elder Li, I'm Shen Luo from Chang 'an City." Shen Luo could only cough lightly and said.
He revealed his identity with a single sentence. Hearing this, Youli's expression couldn't help but turn cold.
"Grandma Li, it was Brother Shen and Brother Hu who escorted me back. When I was in Chang 'an, it was Brother Shen who always protected me." Mi Su saw this and quickly added.
Hearing this, Elder Li's expression softened. He nodded at Shen Luo and Hu Bu Gui.
But when he looked at Hu Bu Gui, he could not help but frown slightly.
"Grandma, did you do something wrong? Why are you being punished by my grandma to guard the gate?" Mi Su asked.
"What nonsense. I'm in charge of settling the clan members outside and keeping an eye on the city's defense. But you, sneaking out of Green Hill, let's see how you're going to explain to your grandma. "Elder Li looked at her with some sympathy.
Mi Su heard this and could not help but shrink her neck. It was obvious that she was afraid of her grandma.
"You came to the Fox clan just to escort Mi Su?" Elder Li looked at Shen Luo and asked.
"Not entirely. We also want to investigate the chaos in Chang 'an. Who is the mastermind behind it?" Shen Luo said.
"Just the two of you?" Elder Li clearly did not trust them.
"If two Taiyi cultivators came, I'm afraid the Green Hill Fox Clan would not let them in. The situation is urgent. If we don't find out the truth soon, I'm afraid the Green Hill Kingdom will be destroyed. "Shen Luo did not care and said.
"Grandma Li …" Mi Su pouted and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright. You should go back and meet your grandma first." Elder Li said helplessly.
Mi Su stuck out her tongue and turned to leave with Shen Luo and the others.
"If possible, I would also like to meet the King of Green Hill." Shen Luo said.
"Why do you want to meet the King?" Elder Li frowned and asked.
"As someone who experienced the chaos in Chang 'an, I have something to ask the King of Green Hill." Shen Luo said.
"Are you representing the Tang Empire?" Elder Li asked.
"I'm representing myself and the people who experienced the chaos in Chang 'an. I need to hear the Green Hill Kingdom's explanation." Shen Luo said calmly.
"Hmph, does our King need to explain to a True Immortal cultivator?" Elder Li sneered.
"It's not for me. The chaos in Chang 'an happened during the Harmony Conference held by the sects in the Three Realms. The Tang Empire was not the only one who was affected. Now, the sects in the Three Realms are unhappy. When the time comes, the Tang Empire will not be the only one who will make things difficult for the Green Hill Fox Clan. Don't you think there should be a reasonable explanation? "Shen Luo sneered and said.
"Are you threatening me?" Elder Li frowned and asked.
