As mentioned earlier, there was only one one-way path into Frost Leaf City. The southern path was called the South Chamber, allowing entry but not exit. The northern path was called the North Gaze, allowing exit but not entry. After leaving Coiled Mountain, the South Chamber and North Gaze paths intersected, forming a circle. Then, new paths extended to the north and south.
Xu Longxiang was wearing a black robe and a mask. He squatted on a crooked tree on the cliff before the South Chamber path entered the sky, glancing sideways from time to time. He was observing the dozens of strong men hiding in the bushes on the cliff. These people all reeked of blood. It was obvious that they had killed many people. He knew that these people were all loyal followers that Guan Xiaolong had secretly nurtured. None of them were weak, and they had different rights to allocate resources. He was a little envious. If he had such a group of people around him, he wouldn't be alone now.
"The people transporting the supplies have arrived."
A person jumped out from the bushes and reported to Xu Longxiang.
Xu Longxiang had been in a high position for a long time. He had authority, and he was very skilled at giving orders. He immediately waved his hand, indicating for him to go back and hide. Then, he warned sternly, "Since Guan Xiaolong handed you to me, I have something to say first. This operation of pretending to be transporting the supplies is very important. You have to listen to my orders. I don't care who you are. If you dare to disobey me, you will end up like stone! "With that, he casually struck a stone beside the bushes with his sword.
The valiant generals in the bushes saw the stone turn into powder. They immediately stopped underestimating him and didn't dare to be careless.
After Xu Longxiang finished all this, he squinted and looked into the distance. He saw a convoy slowly appear on the horizon. It was made up of more than twenty carriages, escorted by three hundred fully armed local soldiers. The two leaders had unfathomable auras, and they were obviously cultivators.
"Get ready!" A ruthless expression appeared on his face. He had done many similar things in the Demon-Buster Battlefield and could be said to be very familiar with them. However, this time, his targets were the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy. The former 'hero' had fallen to such a state.
"South Chamber Path's Sky's Line is in front."
"South Chamber Path's Sky's Line is in front."
"I said it first."
"I said it first."
"Heh, you bastard. Do you have to fight with me no matter what?"
"Sigh, life is already as lonely as snow. If a peerless swordsman were to come out and grant me death, I would be satisfied for the rest of my life. Are you that peerless swordsman? "
"Even if I don't use my sword, I'll strangle you to death!"
Right before Xu Longxiang's eyes, the carriages stopped at the foot of the hill, because the two cultivators who seemed to be the leaders actually began to fight each other. The two of them didn't have the demeanor of a cultivator at all. One of them picked the other's nose, the other poked the other's eyes, the other grabbed the other's neck, and the other opened his mouth to bite.
The soldiers were used to this and didn't bother to stop the fight.
Xu Longxiang took a closer look and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. How could it be these two idiots!
The "two idiots" he mentioned were very famous in the Court Of Sword because they were the first unaffiliated people to choose to withdraw from the Court Of Sword after receiving the opportunity to enter the Court Of Sword. One was called Long Aoshuang, and the other was Zhong Hanqiu.
Xu Longxiang had vaguely heard rumors about these two. After leaving the Court Of Sword, Long Aoshuang followed Zhong Hanqiu back to Muye and formed a gang called "Iron Blood Alliance." Strangely, there were only two of them in the gang, but they were quite famous locally because they took on all kinds of jobs. Among them, the most famous job was escorting goods. Regardless of whether it was the expensive business of traveling all over the Three Realms or the ubiquitous delivery of hens from West City to East City, they had never failed. Therefore, they were hired by the Nine Elites to transport provisions.
His subordinates in the bushes kept looking at him. At this moment, Xu Longxiang's thoughts were running wild. He raised his hand to signal them to calm down, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking, These two's strength is unfathomable. If something goes wrong, won't Guan Xiaolong be able to pinch my sore spot? If I can't even handle such a small matter, and Li Xueyi finds out, how can I have a good time? Why not …
A trace of viciousness flashed in the depths of his eyes. He raised his hand, and his gesture turned into an offensive one.
Seeing this, dozens of well-dressed men immediately scuttled out of the bushes silently, flipped over the cliff, and took out a shield from their back. They skillfully stepped on it and slid down the cliff. At the same time, they pulled out their long sabers. When they reached a certain height, they suddenly borrowed the momentum and killed the local soldiers like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
One of the more powerful men didn't even look at the others. He raised his saber and attacked the two leaders. But in the blink of an eye, the two leaders who had been fighting each other just now suddenly disappeared. He was horrified. When he felt a pain in his neck, he felt dizzy, and the great pain drowned his consciousness. He opened his eyes wide and saw his headless body twitching violently. Blood spurted out like a freshly dug spring. Behind his body was a man carrying a giant sword. His face was bruised and swollen, and he made a lonely expression.
"Alas, life is really as lonely as snow …"
"If you want to ruin our Iron Blood Alliance's business, you should weigh yourself first!" The other man said disdainfully.
Before he died, he tried his best to look at Xu Longxiang on the cliff, who hadn't taken any action yet. He was full of doubts.
Xu Longxiang didn't take any action. He took off his black robe and mask, untied his hair that was originally tied up in a bun, and took out a leather mask to wear. He took out a bronze mirror and looked at himself. The mysterious bandit just now was gone, and he turned into a thirty-year-old wanderer. He smiled proudly, and then his Qi left his Dantian, making his voice dull and heavy.
"Hey! Which thief dares to kill and rob in front of me? Die! "
With a thunderous roar, he rushed into the battlefield. With his superb sword skills, he killed all the men who were going to follow him into the city.
"Brother, thank you for your help." Zhong Hanqiu put away his giant sword and came to Xu Longxiang, cupping his hands. "May I know your name?"
Xu Longxiang laughed heartily. "I don't dare. I'm the Wanderer Long Xiao. This world is getting more and more unfair. There are bandits outside Frost Leaf City who want to rob. Don't they know that the war between the righteous and demonic is related to the survival of the entire Immortal World? Their deaths will be in vain. May I know who you are? "
Zhong Hanqiu felt the same way: "Brother Long is right! Zhong Hanqiu, the leader of the Iron Blood Alliance. This is the deputy leader, Long Aoshuang. "
Long Aoshuang glared at him. "Who's the deputy leader? Are you childish or not? I'm clearly the leader! "
Zhong Hanqiu said earnestly, "Aoshuang, it doesn't matter who the leader is. What's important is that our Iron Blood Alliance is finally going to have a new member."
"Who? Him? " Long Aoshuang looked at Xu Longxiang suspiciously. "Do you know where he came from? Why did you take him into the Iron Blood Alliance? I'm afraid he was sent by the demonic race to get close to us and take the opportunity to sneak into Frost Leaf City to plot."
Xu Longxiang said calmly, "You can't talk nonsense. Whether I'm a demon or not, you can use the Demonic Blood Orb or cut your wrist to test."
"I really do have the Demonic Blood Orb." Long Aoshuang sneered and really took out a necklace from his neck. He circled around Xu Longxiang a few times, but the necklace didn't light up. He curled his lips. "This thing is broken!" He threw it away. "Even if you're not a demon, what are you doing in this place?"
Xu Longxiang looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his demonic heart was beating fast. He thought to himself that he was indeed an elite who had been undercover in the Immortal World for ten years. This method could actually avoid detection. He said passionately, "The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility! I heard that the demon race has invaded Frost Leaf City. Although I, Long Xiao, am a wanderer, I am willing to shed my blood and make a contribution to the fight against the demon race. "
"Brother Long is indeed righteous!" Zhong Hanqiu stared at Xu Longxiang with shining eyes. "Please join our Iron Blood Alliance. The Iron Blood Alliance really needs a hero like Brother Long!"
Xu Longxiang laughed. "I don't deserve to be called a hero, but it is my wish to join the Iron Blood Alliance. I dare not invite you." He then said seriously, "However, let's put this matter aside for now. Frost Leaf City is at war, and we can't let the soldiers starve. Let's hurry and send them over."
"That's right." Zhong Hanqiu immediately made the decision, and the convoy set off again.
…
Although Tao Qian was not famous in the cultivation world, he was ranked first in the Court Of Sword. He was the youngest elder in the entire Court Of Sword, and he was only twenty-nine years old this year. Of the fifty-odd groups of Yuan Chen on the city tower, there was no lack of those who were stronger or older than him. However, because of their seniority, they all had to listen to his orders. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous inside.
"Elder, where do you think those demons will attack from?" an Yuan Chen asked in a low voice.
Tao Qian pretended to be calm as he said, "Any position is possible. Keep a close eye on them. Don't be distracted by talking." The sun was very bright. As he spoke, he could not help but raise his head to look at the sky. Under the dazzling light, the enemy troops on the other side of the mountain had yet to cross over. This made him feel anxious.
The sun was high up in the sky. This was the time when people were the most fatigued. Tao Qian did not dare to relax for even a moment. The more it was at this time, the more his nerves were stretched taut. However, another Yuan Chen's grumbling resounded by his ear.
"What do you think junior apprentice-brother Yan is thinking, giving up Stone City to the demons for no reason. Could it be that Frost Leaf City's situation is better? Not necessarily, causing us to have no choice but to fight the demons head-on! "
"Shut up!" Tao Qian secretly cursed these people for being muddle-headed. Were they not afraid that others would hear them and lower the prestige of the Court Of Sword?
That Yuan Chen curled his lips, seemingly not very obedient to Tao Qian's commands. However, he was an Elder after all. If he were to report him, given that fiend's temper, he would definitely not let him off easily. Thinking of this, he immediately shut his mouth tightly.
"Elder, Elder, someone from the South Wing Road has delivered something! It's those two heroes of the Iron Blood Alliance. Are we still going to detain them for inspection? "A disciple hurriedly ran over to report.
Tao Qian thought to himself, with the Commander-in-Chief in the city, how can I make this decision? Then, thinking about how the Commander-in-Chief had many complicated matters to attend to, it would really be dereliction of duty to trouble him over such a small matter. He immediately said, "The Iron Blood Alliance is trustworthy. After all, we have worked together for so many years. However, now that we are at war, there cannot be any negligence. Inspection is a must. Let's focus on unfamiliar faces.
