Chi Yan glanced at the rider with its red eyes and asked, "Are you the Demon Wolf Cavalry sent by Bei Longtian?"
The two riders stood still as if they did not hear anything. Chi Yan called out twice more, but the other side still did not answer. Chi Yan frowned and said, "Could it be that Bei Longtian sent some demons that have no intelligence and can't understand human language? Why don't you answer my question? "
The Demon Wolf Cavalry in the middle said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I am Bei Longtian's subordinate, not your subordinate. I am here to find the manager. Before you say your name, identity, and rank, I dare not say more. Before you ask me, may I ask who you are? "
Scarlet Mantis couldn't help but feel annoyed. He was one of the five beast envoys. His position in the Animal Path was only below the Path Master Wanshou Chun and the four beast gods. The Path Master rarely appeared, and the four beast gods were more beastly than human, so he had always considered himself as the Vice Path Master. He did not expect to be choked by a wolf cavalry. He glared at the rider and said, "I am the Animal Path's Five Beast Envoy Chi Yan. I am here to receive Bei Longtian's subordinates under the orders of the Heaven Path Master and the Animal Path Master. Are you the Demon Wolf Cavalry?"
The rider bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I am the Demon Wolf Cavalry Captain. Greetings, Elder Chi Yan." His salute was a salute that both sides would do when they were equals.
Seeing this military salute, Chi Yan snorted and said with a bad expression, "Why are only the three of you here? Where are the other Demon Wolf Cavalry? Could it be that they were all wiped out? "
The rider said, "When the two armies come into contact, we naturally have to send envoys first so that you can be prepared. Otherwise, if the Demon Wolf Cavalry comes in full force, will you defend or not? " The rider spoke as if it was a matter of course, but there was a hint of contempt in his words, as if he was mocking Chi Yan's ignorance.
Chi Yan also felt ashamed. Fortunately, his red face did not show any shame. The Six Paths of Evil Destruction were still at the level of a sect, so they usually did not care about these things. However, the Demon Wolf Cavalry was an army created by Bei Longtian's military law, so their thinking was naturally different. But he said forcefully, "Of course I know. You have not told me where the other Demon Wolf Cavalry are now."
The wolf rider pointed down the mountain. "It's still three li away. We will go first. The rest of the wolf riders will follow behind. I ask that you come down the mountain to welcome us!"
Chi Yan gestured, and a winged Daoist priest with sharp eyes flew into the clouds. A moment later, he returned and said, "Elder Chi Yan, there is indeed a group of wolf riders approaching."
"Trash, you still need to wait for them to inform you. Only then will you know how to stand guard when the Goblin Wolf Cavalry is approaching. If it were the Righteous Sky Alliance, you would have already died!" Chi Yan vented her anger on the green-skinned guard who was guarding the gate. The green-skinned guard felt wronged. After all, he had always stood at the gate as a sentry. How could he know the ins and outs of the army? Moreover, the battlefield between the Righteous Sky Alliance and the Six Paths of Evil Extermination was in the Skyreach Path, so they wouldn't attack from here. But thinking about it was one thing, but the green-skinned guard didn't dare to say anything.
Chi Yan pointed at the motionless rider lying on the wolf's back and asked, "What's wrong with this one? He's lying here. Did he die halfway?"
The previous rider replied, "We rode the wolf up the mountain, but Mount Kunlun is slippery and steep, he carelessly stepped on the floating ice and lost his footing and fell off the wolf. Would it be possible for you to find someone to treat him?" Finished speaking, he cupped his fist and saluted.
Seeing this, Chi Yan revealed a mocking smile. She finally found an opportunity to mock meaningfully, "That's really unfortunate. Kunlun Mountain is windy and snowy all year round. Northern Dragon Tian's subordinates have to be careful when they come here. Otherwise, if they make the slightest mistake, they might fall into a bottomless abyss!"
But even though she laughed, she still needed to be treated. After letting out a sigh, Chi Yan said, "Green-Skinned, take them to be treated. The few of you, follow me down to welcome Northern Dragon Tian's subordinates! "Then she led the two rows of Taoists down the mountain.
The moment they brushed past each other, the wolf rider bowed again and said, "Thank you, Elder Chi Yan, and thank you for your reminder. However, we are all guests of Kunlun Realm. If Elder Chi Yan can adapt, we will naturally be able to as well!" The wolf rider bowed his head to express his gratitude, but his eyes were staring straight at Chi Yan. Just like his words, there were hidden thorns in them. This made Chi Yan even more unhappy.
"What do you mean by also guests in Kunlun Mountain? Right now, Kunlun Mountain is clearly under the control of the Six Paths of Evil Destruction. If a little officer dares to say such words, it must represent the attitude of the person behind him. Northern Dragon Tian … wants a piece of the pie! This time, we are secretly forming an alliance with Northern Dragon Tian. Don't lead a wolf into the house! " Chi Yan thought to herself. She looked at the wolf rider with a deep expression and boarded the palanquin prepared by her subordinates.
-----
"Hurry up! We are almost at Kunlun Mountain. Don't dawdle anymore! " Kunlun Mountain was right in front of them, but another demon fell behind. The adjutant of the demon wolf rider couldn't help but be furious. He used the scabbard to whip a blood demon who fell behind.
However, the more he whipped, the angrier he became. As blood demons of the Slaughter Clan, this group of Shu demons were all lazy and cunning. They were the complete opposite of the demon wolf riders. Just by bringing them along, the marching speed was slowed down to less than 30% of the original speed. Along the way, there were many mutinies and escapes during the night, but as long as they killed the few leading demons, the other demons would immediately pretend to be obedient. Seeing that the deadline of the military order was approaching, the adjutant couldn't bear it any longer. He wanted to kill all of them and quickly go on the road. However, although the demon wolf riders were stronger in terms of combat power, it was inevitable that they would suffer losses if they wanted to annihilate them. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could only suppress his anger and lure them with benefits as usual.
"Faster! After completing this march, you will pass the test and become a member of Bei Longtian. From then on, you will no longer have to be afraid. You will have endless human flesh to enjoy, and there will be superior cultivation methods to learn and practice. You can be a blood demon with your head held high! "
Although the adjutant's encouragement had long been tired of listening to it, the blood demons of Shu finally picked up some energy and accelerated their pace. The adjutant looked at them and sneered, "Finally, it's coming to an end. I didn't lie to you at all. You will indeed not have to be afraid from now on. You will have endless human flesh to enjoy, and there will be superior cultivation methods to learn and practice, but you may not be able to laugh at that time."
In retrospect, this journey was full of twists and turns, and even made him scratch his head in confusion. Chief Leopard Forehead went to kill the maidservants and several blood demons, but none of the 31 demons returned. Soon after, he received a message from Bei Longtian saying that Leopard Forehead was dead and that he would take over the position of the leader. However, he did not mention how General Leopard Forehead died. He also said that they could use Gongzi Ling's territory to leave Shu. He did not know what agreement Bei Longtian and Gongzi Ling had reached, but they were not blamed for entering Gongzi Ling's territory. Instead, they were secretly protected by Gongzi Ling's subordinates, helping them hide from the eyes and ears of the Righteous. Otherwise, they would have been discovered by the Righteous long ago.
However, this was a matter between the big demons, not something that a small adjutant like him could inquire about. He only hoped that the last part of the journey would be smooth. At this time, he saw two rows of people opening the way in front of him. In the middle, a few strong men carrying a palanquin came over. They were extremely fast and looked quite extraordinary.
"All troops, be on guard. Unsheathe your swords, draw your bows, prepare to meet the enemy!" The adjutant gave an order. Other than the Demon Wolf Cavalry who were guarding the Shu Blood Demon, the rest had already scattered into formation.
"In front of us is the Demon Wolf Cavalry. We are the Daoists of the Beast Dao. This is our Elder Chi Yan. We are under the orders of the Heavenly Dao Master and the Beast Dao Master to welcome the Demon Wolf Cavalry!" The person opposite hurriedly shouted.
Seeing that the other party was in a strange shape, it was indeed the people of the Beast Dao. Other people would definitely not be able to imitate it. The adjutant ordered again, "Back row, draw your bows and protect the formation. Front row, put away your swords and follow me forward." After saying that, he drove the wolf slowly forward without the slightest carelessness. Just by looking at them, one could tell that the Demon Wolf Cavalry's orders were strict. They were worthy of being called elite troops.
The adjutant secretly praised in his heart, "I haven't even sent a messenger yet, but the Beast Dao has already noticed our arrival. As expected, their defense is tight, and they have completely grasped our whereabouts!"
Chi Yan got off the palanquin, and the adjutant got off the wolf. Both sides verified their identities. Only then did the adjutant say to the demon army behind him, "It is the Beast Dao. Everyone, retreat." The Demon Wolf Cavalry responded in unison and retreated.
Chi Yan looked at the actions of the Demon Wolf Cavalry coldly and said in a strange tone, "The Demon Wolf Cavalry is indeed cautious …"
The adjutant cupped his fists and said, "When marching outside, we can't be reckless. Otherwise, if we are careless, the entire army will be wiped out. Please forgive us, Elder Chi Yan."
"It's right to be careful, but it's a pity that the soldiers under the general … Tsk tsk, aren't they too sharp?" Chi Yan smacked his lips and said. He was naturally using this as a pretext to point out that the three messenger wolf cavalry had been rude to him.
The adjutant could also tell that Chi Yan's words were not friendly. He only thought that the appearance of his subordinates drawing their bows as if they were facing a great enemy had made Chi Yan unhappy. He bowed and said, "Every word and action of the soldier is carried out by the superior. If Elder Chi Yan is unhappy, it is also because of my orders. Please forgive us, Elder."
But when these words fell into Chi Yan's ears, they naturally had a different meaning. "The general admitted that you were the one who ordered him to do so. In that case, follow me up the mountain."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the Demon Wolf Cavalry. He turned around and led the way in front of the palanquin, thinking hatefully, "What a good Demon Wolf Cavalry. As expected, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. The messenger wolf cavalry is pretending in front of me, and the leader is the same. It is clearly you who sent the messenger, and we, the Beast Dao, came to greet you, but you put on an appearance as if you are facing a great enemy. Do you think that you can gain more benefits from the cooperation by putting on a high attitude?"
The adjutant was also annoyed in his heart, "This Chi Yan is really narrow-minded to the point of being unreasonable. It is just a matter of course to be on guard, and yet he bears such a grudge. Hmph, why don't you think that without the secret help of the Pantheon of Demons, with just your Six Paths of Evil Annihilation, can you outlast the sects of the human race who claim to be righteous?"
The two sides disliked each other, and the cooperation had not even begun yet. Just like this, one group led the way while the other followed, and there was no more conversation.
-----
Qing Pi led the three Wolf Cavalry to an infirmary. The infirmary had been remodeled from the Pill Room of Truth One Temple, and the layout of the room still had the style of Daoism. He found a bed for the unconscious Wolf Cavalry to lie down and said, "Wait a moment. Hiss, hiss. I will go inform the doctor, and someone will come in a moment." He then closed the door and left.
As soon as he closed the door, the Wolf Cavalry on the bed opened their eyes and said with admiration, "Big Brother Ying is really clever. You actually managed to sneak into Kunlun so easily!"
"Lie down. Be careful, someone is coming." The Wolf Cavalry who had not spoken all this time snorted and pressed the Wolf Cavalry back onto the bed. "What clever plan? He is just lucky. If you praise him again, he will be able to ascend to the heavens!"
"Hehe, everything is under my control. Yue 'er, don't be dissatisfied!" The Wolf Cavalry who choked the Chi Yan just now replied with a face full of pride. It was Ying Feiyang who was wearing the Chi Yan Jun mask.
Needless to say, of the other two Wolf Cavalry, the one who was pretending to be unconscious on the bed was Chu Song, and the one who was indignant was Ji Yaoyue. The three of them had brazenly snuck into Kunlun Mountain just like that.
When they learned that the Demon Wolf Cavalry was nearing Kunlun Mountain, they put on the armor and waist tags they had taken from the pursuers. Ying Feiyang put on the Chi Yan Jun mask, while Ji Yaoyue and Chu Song had been skillfully disguised by Chu Song. They relied on the armor to conceal their figures, and then put on thick helmets to hide their original beauty. They looked just like ordinary Demon Soldiers.
Then, relying on their speed to be faster than the burdensome Demon Wolf Cavalry, they arrived at Kunlun Mountain first and pretended to be messengers.
This plan was a little risky, but with Ying Feiyang's boldness and meticulousness, it was perfectly realized.
Their attire, mounts, and waist tags were all present. There were no flaws in their attire. The Demon Wolf Cavalry following behind them was the best evidence to prove their identities. The large number of Demon Wolf Cavalry at the foot of Kunlun Mountain could not be faked. Therefore, the three Demon Wolf Cavalry that were sent first were real as well. Under such a mindset, who would have thought that Ying Feiyang and the other two Demon Wolf Cavalry had faked their attire when the real Demon Wolf Cavalry was within a few miles?
In terms of acting, Ying Feiyang was also commendable. He was neither servile nor overbearing, and there was a needle hidden in silk. But the more he was like this, the less suspicious it was. After all, in the eyes of others, how could a fake dare to speak sarcastically when his identity was being examined? Of course, his intention was not just this. He first used the thorns to provoke Chi Yan, making her angry at the Demon Wolf Cavalry. Naturally, she would not be able to talk to the Demon Wolf Cavalry at the foot of the mountain. It would be best if they had nothing to talk about. This would also prevent them from casually communicating after they had a good chat, and Ying Feiyang's disguise would be exposed. (Things were indeed developing in the best possible situation.)
Even letting Chu Song pretend to be unconscious was after careful consideration. First, it was to prevent her, whose acting was the most worrying, from revealing any flaws. Second, it was to find an excuse to stay here. Third, if they wanted to find Chu Bainiu's whereabouts, asking the doctor was the best direction.
The three of them successfully snuck in. After the rebound from high tension, their nerves were very excited. Ying Feiyang and Ji Yaoyue bickered non-stop, using this special method to relieve the pressure. After Ji Yaoyue mocked Ying Feiyang again, without giving him a chance to talk back, her expression changed. She put her index finger to her lips and said, "Shh! Don't talk anymore, someone is coming. "
Ying Feiyang glared fiercely at Ji Yaoyue and tried to use his eyes to fight back. Then, he looked at the door with full vigilance.
