Pan Xuan looked through the crowd carefully and realized that everyone wanted to be chosen by her.
Even Gu Zheng looked at her with hope, but his eyes were focused on a building behind her ear. The design under the eaves was very unique and had a different style.
"You, you, and you, please come out together." Pan Xuan had no choice but to choose a few people from the crowd. They were all relatively strong, and one of them was the strong man who came out first.
After Pan Xuan chose the people, she led them away. Since Gu Zheng did not want to see her, she would wait for the next opportunity.
She memorized the faces of this group of people and planned to find a time to look for their information. She did not believe that she would not be able to find them by herself.
"Alright, the teams that were chosen just now, please choose a leader. Just let me know when you need a new member." The person in charge made some simple arrangements and took out a white list.
"All teams, understand your mission. Come here every day to report the situation. I will be here."
"Li Qing, your team will be responsible for patrolling the South Street." After the person in charge finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from the white list and wrapped around Li Qing's black token.
"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, Li Qing led his team and left the place.
The teams were arranged one after another. The first few teams were responsible for patrolling the city and maintaining law and order. Basically, there was no danger.
"Gao Feng, your team will be responsible for patrolling the east side of the formation. If you encounter any tribesmen who are alone, guide them to the passage in front of the drill ground."
"Yes." Gao Feng also received the order. After seeing his patrol spot on the map, he immediately set off.
Soon, Gu Zheng and the others left together. Gu Zheng heard the person in charge's next arrangements.
"Wu Lei, your team will be responsible for patrolling the passage in front of the drill ground with Master Ouyang and maintaining law and order. Master Ouyang will be in charge of everything."
"Yes."
Gu Zheng could not hear what the person in charge said next. His mind was filled with thoughts of Ouyang Ping.
He thought that Ouyang Ping would be locked up or at least restricted. He did not expect to be put in an important position here. He did not know how Ouyang Ping did it.
However, he didn't want to deal with him. If he had time, he could go and see if he could find an opportunity to escape.
After their members left the town, they sped up and flew directly to their patrol spot.
A day later, they arrived at a relatively protruding hillside. From here, all the way to the easternmost side, they needed to patrol the area.
They didn't need to go back every day. Every week, they could just send someone to report back.
"Everyone, rest here." Gao Feng stood on the hillside and said. There was no need to rush now. After tomorrow, they would all take turns to rest.
This was arranged by Gao Feng on the way here, and everyone agreed with the captain's arrangement.
At first, everyone was excited, hoping to meet their clansmen or enemies. But soon, everyone was disappointed.
A round trip to and fro would take about a day. Other than resting every day, they would be on the road.
However, a month had passed, and the same scene had caused everyone to lose their initial excitement. Up until now, they had not encountered a single enemy, nor had they encountered any enemies.
Gao Feng would bring everyone back once a month to report the situation, leaving only one person to continue patrolling.
Qiu Ning volunteered to stay, but was snatched away by Ma Pingqing.
On the last day, they walked to the end as usual and then returned. Everyone moved forward at a constant speed, saving time and energy.
"Captain, look, there's a person over there." Ma Pingqing was looking around when he suddenly saw a small black dot in the forest opposite. It looked like a person, so he said excitedly.
"Stop, it really looks like a person." Gao Feng waved his hand to stop everyone. He observed carefully and said, "Your eyes are really good. You can see it from so far away."
Ma Pingqing heard the captain being praised and laughed. He did not say anything.
That person also seemed to have noticed him and quickly rushed over.
"Captain Gao, it seems to be the kid from the Su family, Su Nan," Qiu Ning whispered to Gao Feng.
"I know. I saw him once a few hundred years ago." As the distance shortened, Gao Feng also saw the other person's appearance clearly.
"What's going on?" Su Nan came outside and touched the formation with his hand.
"Lord Su, some time ago, the protector activated the emergency formation. It's said that it was caused by some rebels. We don't know the details. If you want to know, you have to go back." Gao Feng replied.
"I was delayed in the forest previously, so I really don't know what happened. I remember that everyone went to the Old Ancestor's secret realm. Did something happen?" Su Nan really did not know what happened later.
He would not say that he should have come here earlier. Because of Little Worm, he wanted to stay outside for a while, so he was delayed for a long time.
"Lord Su, let's talk as we walk. Our mission is to patrol this area. We can go back today and walk along the edge of the formation until we reach a passage."
Gao Feng was energized. He did not expect to meet someone on his way back today, and it was a big shot.
"That's a passage that the protector specially left for the tribesmen who were stranded outside. I heard that it's heavily guarded now."
In private, everyone said that very few people were exposed outside. Even the people in the mining area had been notified back.
"Let's talk as we walk." Separated by a layer of the formation, the two teams went back together.
Ma Pingqing stopped when he passed his own defense area. He stayed on the hill and watched them. He still had to continue patrolling. Gu Zheng and the others continued to head west.
Two days later, they entered the city area. They were close to the entrance of the passage. At this time, there were more people, and frequent patrols would pass by from time to time.
Su Nan had more or less understood the situation, and knew that he could not go back. It was hard to say when the transportation formation would be activated. If it was short, it would be three to five years, and if it was long, it could be decades.
Gu Zheng was silent the whole way. He kept a low profile. Even if he had to, he would say less. Fortunately, it was the leader who chatted with Su Nan all the way.
The others were the same. They could not get a word in.
He felt that Su Nan seemed to know that he was in the team, but he did not know what he was thinking. Although he was on good terms with Little Worm, there was no situation where he could ask Su Nan for help.
In his opinion, Su Nan was already considerate of their past relationship by not exposing him.
"Little Worm, have you confirmed who it is in the past few days?" Su Nan communicated mentally with Little Worm.
"No, Gu Zheng's concealment skills are even better than before. I can only confirm that it's not the leader. The others can't tell at all."
"Little Nan, let's help Gu Zheng." After hesitating for a long time, Little Worm finally said to Su Nan.
"He's my enemy. If I help him, I'll be going against the entire Shura Tribe." Their speed had already slowed.
"But, Elder Xiong has helped me a lot. He even taught me many spells. Gu Zheng has also been taking good care of me. He even refined such precious pills for me. I really want to help them." Little Worm spoke his mind.
"Alright, what's so good about this place? The air is so much better. I heard from others that you were bullied." Little Worm began to whine.
Although Little Nan was much stronger than before, there were many times when he saw Little Worm in a daze, frowning. He could also feel the pain in Little Worm's heart.
"I feel bad when I see you in pain. At worst, we can find a place where no one can find us and live in seclusion." Little Worm's voice was low, and he began to sob.
He really didn't like this place, and he didn't want Little Nan to live here.
Su Nan could completely understand Little Worm's thoughts. She knew in her heart that there was nothing in the Shura Tribe that was worth remembering. There was nothing left. She was just used to this place. It was just that she couldn't bear to part with it.
But when Little Worm finished his last sentence, Su Nan suddenly stopped in her tracks. She solemnly said to Little Worm in her heart.
"Alright, I promise you."
"Really? That's great. Little Nan, I knew you were the best. "Joy rose from Little Worm's heart. Even Su Nan could feel that joy.
If it weren't for the aura here that made her feel reverent, she would have escaped.
She only knew that she could help her friend, and a senior who treated her very well. To be able to help them escape from this place, Little Nan was truly happy.
Little Worm didn't know how difficult it was for Su Nan to plead for mercy. But in a situation where there was nothing, Little Worm's status was infinitely higher. For Little Worm, Su Nan was willing to give up some things.
Especially unpleasant memories and places.
"What's wrong, Lord Su?" Gao Feng saw that Su Nan wasn't moving. They also stopped and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing. I just remembered something. Let's go." Su Nan waved her hand, indicating for them to move forward.
Since she had thought it through, she would find a time to probe and find out who it was.
"Old Gao, you've crossed the line. How can you rob someone we met?" Just as Gao Feng and the rest were moving forward, a shout came from the front.
A handsome man in a brocade robe walked out from the front, followed by a few people.
"What's wrong, Jia Ning? You're just saying that I've crossed the line. What proof do you have?" Gao Feng's tone was very aggressive. He had been at odds with this man for a long time. He didn't expect him to come here and slander him.
"My people told me directly that he saw Lord Su first. But when you came back, you saw him and forcefully killed the exotic beast," Jia Ning said loudly when he saw that some people were looking at them.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Lord Su."
Jia Ning felt that Su Nan wouldn't fall out with him because of this small conflict. He had to be better than Su Nan in all aspects.
Speaking of which, Su Nan also had to bow her head respectfully when she saw him.
She used to be the younger sister of Su Nan's grandfather. Speaking of which, the two families had some relations.
If Su Nan was brought back by him, then the contribution points would be huge. He could exchange for something he wanted in advance.
In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, there were some simple rules. There was a fixed contribution every day. If they did their job well, they would be given different contributions depending on the situation.
When these contributions were accumulated to a certain extent, they could be exchanged for something good even if they didn't cause trouble every day. It was a corresponding reward.
Now, the patrol team in charge of maintaining order couldn't wait for these people to cause trouble and fight every day. They could catch them and earn contribution points, but they weren't stupid. If they were caught, they would be in trouble.
If there was really a problem that couldn't be solved, there was an arena nearby. They wouldn't let these people catch them.
Jia Ning looked at Gao Feng proudly, as if victory was already in his hands.
"No, I came from Gao Feng's place. But on the way, someone followed us sneakily. I don't know if he's one of your members," Su Nan said calmly.
She had already decided to leave this place. There was no need to give him face. Even if she knew that she had a relative in his family, where was she when she was in trouble?
The people who were waiting to watch the show couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. They didn't expect Su Nan to not give him face at all.
Jia Ning's personality wasn't very good. He liked to take credit for other people. This wasn't the first time this had happened.
But he was also smart. He wouldn't go looking for people who were more powerful. Plus, he had succeeded a few times.
"Since Lord Su said so, it seems that my team member lied. I will teach him a lesson when we get back." Jia Ning's face was red. He decided to let his subordinate take the blame again.
He knew how powerful Su Nan was. His team wasn't strong enough.
"Let's go. Have a safe trip, Captain Gao," Jia Ning said with a fake smile. He hated Gao Feng in his heart.
"You don't have to worry about me. Take care," Gao Feng said.
He wasn't afraid of him. In the Shura Clan, power was the greatest support.
If you didn't have power, no matter how powerful your background was, people would still look down on you. Even your own people would bully you.
The two teams walked past each other. When Jia Ning walked past them, he even snorted coldly. It was obvious that he would remember this.
Gao Feng didn't care. If worse came to worst, he would just deal with it.
"Stop. Unimportant people in front are not allowed to enter." After walking for a while, an official in a purple battle robe stood at the edge and said to Gao Feng.
"Lord Su, you can accept the inspection at the front. We will take our leave first," Gao Feng said to Su Nan. They were already in the restricted area of the passage. They had no right to enter.
"Thank you, Captain Gao." Su Nan could already see the situation on the other side. He walked over.
Gao Feng led everyone to the drill ground. They had to report the situation to get a few days of rest.
Since these two days were the days for the team to return, they would have to wait for a while before it would be their turn when they arrived.
Everyone decided on the way that after they finished reporting, they would go to the tavern to relax. They finally had two days of rest. No one wanted to go back to their rooms to train.
After Gao Feng finished his report, everyone followed behind him and left.
As for Gu Zheng, he was walking at the very back. Along the way, he was thinking about how he could pass through that passage.
Before he left, Gu Zheng glanced over. Although it was just a glimpse, it was enough for him to know the situation.
The outer perimeter of the passageway was heavily guarded. There was an official standing guard at every set distance to prevent curious people from entering. Without permission, no one was allowed to enter.
There was an arched passage above the formation. It was the only exit that connected to the outside. There were two team members on standby at the side.
Furthermore, Gu Zheng also saw Ou Yangping there. He was meditating and resting with his eyes closed. He seemed to be guarding this place and letting others do all the work.
Gu Zheng was sure that he must have a switch to control the passage or a way to close it. If anything went wrong, he would be able to close the passage in time.
The sharp-eyed Gu Zheng noticed that Ouyang Ping's ears were trembling slightly. He was always vigilant of his surroundings.
Ouyang Ping's lazy appearance was just to numb the enemy so that he could better sense the impending danger.
It was no wonder that he was worried. After what happened some time ago, even if he was not entirely to blame, he would still be implicated.
If something went wrong this time, it would be the greatest disaster for Ouyang Ping. He did not think that he would have another chance.
Such an important place must be heavily guarded at all times.
Gu Zheng thought for a long time. With his current strength, it was basically impossible for him to pass through silently. However, he could not even get past Ouyang Ping.
He had to find a better way. It would be best if he could lure Ouyang Ping away. It would only take a while.
While Gu Zheng was thinking, they soon arrived at the tavern.
At this time, there were many people inside. It seemed that most of them had made the same choice.
Gao Feng and the others casually found an empty seat and sat down. They ordered some wine and dishes and began to eat and drink.
Gu Zheng also threw out his previous thoughts and chatted and laughed with everyone. He was very comfortable with his new identity.
Another team pushed the door open and attracted everyone's attention. This team was an official team. After patrolling the hall for a while, they directly rushed towards Gu Zheng.
"Captain Gao, there's a new situation." Mu Xiaofan secretly reminded Gao Feng.
He was the only one facing that side, so he could clearly see that the leader of the team did not have good intentions. It seemed that he was coming for them.
"What's wrong? Is Jia Ning here?" Gao Feng saw Mu Xiaofan's serious expression and thought that Jia Ning was here to cause trouble.
"No, it's the inspection team." Mu Xiaofan only then noticed the badge on their chests. It was the unique symbol of the inspection team.
"What?" Gao Feng was stunned. What did the inspection team have to do with him? He did not do anything wrong.
"Gao Feng, someone reported that you had some unusual actions during the mission. According to the temporary regulations, you have to come with us," the captain of the inspection team said as he took out a warrant and handed it to Gao Feng.
"If there's any misunderstanding, please forgive us. After all, this is a special period. We can't miss out on any details."
