The snowy plateau in the west.
The Dian prefecture in the south.
The Qian prefecture in the southeast.
Each of the Evil Cult's experts were like three sharp blades, cutting into Shu Prefecture.
Then they met up with their Hierarch near the Golden Peak of Shu Mountain.
The Seventh Elder of the Devil religion, Shanghai Song, had just suffered a small loss on the way to the Golden Peak.
As King Wu, it was not difficult for him to destroy a second-grade force alone.
But he was too weak to fight a first-grade force alone.
Especially when the abbot of the Huayan Temple, the Mind Lamp Zen Master, was stronger than him.
Fortunately, someone came to his rescue, so the Elder could escape unscathed.
"Hong Yan, fortunately you came in time," Shanghai Song said to the tower-like man in front of him.
The middle-aged man said, "Elder, you are too kind."
Shanghai Song looked at the people behind the middle-aged man and asked in a low voice, "How many people did you bring?"
The other party replied, "Good, twenty."
There were many people behind him.
The number of twenty referred to the elites who could be of great use.
Their strength was high, and their loyalty could be guaranteed.
"You're still too weak with just one division." Shang Guansong sighed.
He whispered to the middle-aged man, "Act according to the situation and preserve your strength. Chen Luoyang's injury is unknown. We may be able to find out the truth in this attack on Shu."
The middle-aged man said, "The Divine Religion is the most important."
Shanghai Song said, "That is why we need to be more cautious. Who knows if he is pretending to be strong? If that is the case, the Divine Religion will be in even more danger. "
The middle-aged man nodded silently.
He ordered his men to set up camp while he and Shanghai Song went to meet the Hierarch.
Among the peaks of Shu Mountain, on the top of a lonely peak stood a simple and heavy black palace.
Below the palace, around the peak, six dragons were circling, letting out thunderous roars from time to time.
When they arrived at the mountain, they saw two other groups of people coming from different directions.
The three parties met face to face. Shangguan Song snickered.
The leader of the group on the left was a majestic young man with a face full of arrogance.
As soon as he saw her, he laughed and said, "Ha! Did Elder Shangguan return victorious? Congratulations! "
The leader of the group on the right was a middle-aged man. He was thin and had a hunchback.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, what are you talking about? Elder Shangguan has been entrusted with great responsibility by the Hierarch during the attack on Shu. He has worked hard and contributed greatly. We will learn from him."
On the surface, Shangguan Song still looked refined and modest.
"The two of you came a little later than Hong Yan," he said lightly, "I wonder if the road is too hard, or if there are too many trifling matters?"
If the road was too hard to walk, it meant that one was incompetent.
If there were too many trivial matters to take care of, one would not be able to move fast, which meant that one was not proactive and did not value the Hierarch's orders.
The arrogant young man picked his ear and said, "You think too much. I arrived earlier than Hong Yan, but I was busy watching you. What a wonderful show."
The hunchback man on the side waved his hand and said, "Elder Shangguan is too kind. I don't deserve it. I arrived at the same time as Brother Hong, but you know my old problem. My back is not good, so I have to stop and rest."
Shangguan Song was surprised when he heard this.
Hong Yan, who was on the side, said, "Greet the Hierarch first."
The arrogant young man moved his neck and said, "That's true."
The subordinates of the three groups stayed at the foot of the mountain.
The four of them went up the mountain together.
In the main hall of the hall at the top of the mountain, Chen Luoyang was sitting on the throne.
Shanghai Song and the other three were summoned in and bowed to Chen Luoyang.
"Zhang Tianheng from Dian Prefecture greets the Hierarch and the Hierarch."
"Hong Yan from Xue Yu pays his respects to the Hierarch."
"Wang Dubao from Qian Prefecture greets the Hierarch and the Hierarch."
Chen Luoyang looked at the three people except for Shanghai Song in Silence.
The heavens had pity on him. He was actually memorizing their faces and matching their names with their names.
When the people around him reported just now, they had already revealed their identities.
Three of the Eight Protectors of the Devil religion were all high-ranking officials of their own regions.
The young man who restrained his arrogance in front of the Hierarch, but his courage did not diminish. He was Protector Zhu Rong from Dian Prefecture, Zhang Tianheng.
The burly man who helped Shanghai Song and looked like a black iron tower was Protector Xingtian from Xue Yu Plateau, Hong Yan.
The thin man with a humble smile and slightly hunched back was Protector Kuafu from Qian Prefecture, Wang Dubao.
Among them, Hong Yan was special.
In terms of age and seniority, he was a member of the middle generation of the Devil religion.
However, he was from the Elders' faction.
The Xue Yu Plateau used to be ruled by the Great Jingang Temple.
After the Great Jingang Temple perished, it was occupied by the Devil religion and set up a branch.
However, the weather was cold and the population was sparse. It was very desolate and backward.
The branch in other places was a cushy job to rule over an area.
Guarding the Xue Yu Plateau was almost like being exiled.
The Xue Yu Plateau was adjacent to Shu Prefecture.
Therefore, when Chen Luoyang said it was nearby, he transferred Hong Yan and his subordinates over.
"The west of Shu has been decided. Please take a look." Hong Yan handed over a jade slip.
Zhang Tianheng and Wang Dubao did the same.
Wang Dubao entered Shu from the southeast.
Zhang Tianheng and Chen Luoyang also went north from the south, but took a different route.
Blue Dragon Three took the three jade slips and handed them to Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang took the jade slips and didn't check them immediately. Instead, he asked, "How do you feel about the resistance of Shu?"
Hong Yan answered, "It's unusually smooth. It might be a trap."
Zhang Tianheng said, "The other party might be trying to lure us in, stall us here at the Golden Peak, and then mess up our rear."
Wang Dubao stooped. "I feel the same."
Chen Luoyang nodded. "Very good. Stay vigilant."
Zhang Tianheng, Wang Dubao, and Hong Yan responded in unison.
"How's the deployment?" Chen Luoyang turned to Blue Dragon Three and asked.
"Elder Mingjing of the Qingliang Temple, Monk Heart Lamp of the Huayan Temple, and Song Lun of the Five Color Hall are all at the Golden Peak. The people of the Sword Pavilion have also arrived." Blue Dragon Three answered, "The whereabouts of the masters of the Xia Dynasty are uncertain. In addition, there is uncertain news that the Sword King may come …"
"Continue to investigate." Chen Luoyang's expression didn't change.
"Yes, Hierarch," Blue Dragon Three responded.
Chen Luoyang looked at Shanghai Song. "Well done. Continue tomorrow."
Shanghai Song took a deep breath. "I understand."
Zhang Tianheng chuckled.
Wang Dubao looked down at the ground.
Hong Yan didn't say anything.
"Okay, you can all leave." Chen Luoyang waved his hand.
A group of people came out of the main hall. Hong Yan said to Shanghai Song, "I can help you."
He looked at Zhang Tianheng and Wang Dubao. "I didn't say no."
"The Hierarch didn't say we can't help Elder Shangguan." Wang Dubao bowed and said with a smile, "We will all look for opportunities to help."
Zhang Tianheng said, "I'm here for the merit, but since the Hierarch has given the position of vanguard to Elder Shangguan, I can only be a backup."
Shanghai Song's expression was normal. "It's good for young people to be ambitious. Work hard if you want to make a merit."
The four of them parted on bad terms.
In the main hall, Chen Luoyang ordered everyone to leave, leaving only Blue Dragon Three.
"You previously reported that Dragon Claw Seventeen came to Shuzhou with Song Lun?" Chen Luoyang asked.
Blue Dragon Three replied, "Reporting to the Hierarch, it was thanks to Dragon Claw Seventeen following him that we were able to determine Song Lun's whereabouts."
Chen Luoyang nodded. "Don't alarm the others. Let Dragon Claw Seventeen send a message to Song Lun."
"Tell him to come see me."
Blue Dragon Three was startled. "Hierarch …"
"He will come." Chen Luoyang smiled.
