The Scarlet Mountain was more than six thousand meters tall. The higher one went, the steeper it got. From five thousand meters up, it was a straight cliff. There was only one path leading to the mountain.
Around this path, there would be a few dragon lizards guarding it. It was very difficult to sneak up.
Lin Xuan tried to dig the mountain rocks to see if he could dig a path to the top of the mountain. However, he was soon disappointed.
The entire Scarlet Mountain was made of Scarlet Flame Stone. The Scarlet Flame Stone was as hard as iron. It was very difficult to dig.
Moreover, this mountain seemed to contain a mysterious power that condensed the entire mountain into a single piece of metal. It was impregnable and difficult to damage.
"It's really a good place that is easy to defend and hard to attack!"
Lin Xuan exclaimed in his heart.
He estimated that if the Blood Dragon Clan could not fly and directly climb to the top of the mountain, it would be difficult for hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack Heaven Song City.
In desperation, Lin Xuan could only use the same trick again. He extracted the essence blood of a dragon lizard and cast the Phantom Spirit Seal. He transformed himself into a dragon lizard and climbed up cautiously …
Just as Lin Xuan was racking his brains to plan for the Scarlet Mountain, the others were not idle either.
Under the Scarlet Mountain, in the Dao Ji Palace of the Tianding Army's camp.
Maki Cangsheng sat alone at the stone table in the garden. He played with the chess pieces unconsciously. His gloomy face revealed a thoughtful expression.
In the past six months, Maki Cangsheng felt that everything he did was not going smoothly. It could even be said that every step was difficult.
His Luck Path Clone was killed by Mu Jianfeng inexplicably.
His brother, Mu Yunhai, was killed by Lin Xuan.
The Keelung Sect that he was in suffered great losses and its reputation declined greatly.
After he came out of seclusion, he came to the North Barren. Although he destroyed Lin Xuan's Magic Lotus Sect, he planted a seed of disaster in the Lotus Demon.
He wanted to team up with the Tianding Army and the Jinhua Army to kill Lin Xuan, but they couldn't even find his shadow. Instead, they lost Li Yanfeng.
Recently, he had wanted to collude with Yu Guangqi to obtain the Scarlet Mountain Mountain and the Great Yin Race's treasure trove. However, Yu Guangqi had instantly become a stray dog and had fled back to Que Prefecture. The Great Yin Race's treasure trove had also become a dream.
In summary, Maki Cangsheng noticed that he'd accomplished practically nothing in this half a year, and this couldn't help but arouse a trace of frustration in his heart. It was even to the extent that he started to doubt life and his own ability.
All of this seemed to be directly or indirectly related to Lin Xuan. Even the collapse of Crimson Stone City could vaguely be traced back to Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, could it be that you are Maki Cangsheng's nemesis?"
Maki Cangsheng's eyes flashed with hatred.
At this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside.
Maki Cangsheng's face couldn't help but become gloomy. He hated it when his subordinates came to bother him when he was thinking, especially this kind of person who came without prior notice.
An old man with a gloomy face walked in with two youths with extraordinary temperaments.
This old man was a supervisor from the Keelung Sect's headquarters. His name was Huo Changfeng, and he was in charge of supervising the completion of some important tasks.
He was also the person Maki Cangsheng didn't want to see the most at this moment.
The two youths behind him, one had an arrogant face, and the other was cold and deep. However, their auras were extraordinary. At first glance, one could tell that they were dragons and phoenixes with unlimited potential.
As he approached, Huo Zhangfeng had his hands behind his back and a stern expression on his face as he bluntly criticized, "Mu Cangsheng, you're too disappointing. It's been so long but you still haven't caught Lin Xuan. Instead, you've provoked a huge problem like the Lotus Demon for the Sect! Can you still do it or not? "
The arrogant youth behind Huo Changfeng also ridiculed in a strange tone, "The Celestial Saint is rumored to be able to devise strategies and understand the mysteries of heaven. I think that's all there is to it. You can't even catch a mere Lin Xuan. You really don't live up to your reputation!
Maki Cangsheng, if you really can't do it, you'd better give up your position as soon as possible! All the resources of the Keelung Sect in the Northern Wilderness are at your disposal, but you have no achievements. This is simply a disgrace to the Keelung Sect. "
Maki Cangsheng's gaze turned cold. He asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
The youth said proudly, "Hmph! I'm Leng Qianqiu, the Young Master of the Yuehua Palace. I'll also be the next Saint of the Heavenly Illumination! "
"Someone from the Yuehua Palace?"
Maki Cangsheng was slightly taken aback.
The Yuehua Palace's mountain gate was in Wanhua City. For the past hundred years, they had been at odds with the Keelung Sect's headquarters. Now that the Yuehua Palace's young master was going to be the Tenshou Saint, could it be that the Yuehua Palace and the headquarters had reconciled?
No, there must be a big problem here!
Maki Cangsheng's eyes flickered. He was deep in thought.
Before he came to the Northern Wilderness, the Keelung Sect was already on the verge of falling apart. Now that the Yuehua Palace had suddenly returned, this was not a good sign. Instead, it would be a big problem. Perhaps the headquarters had already undergone a major change.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Give me a little more time. I will definitely send Lin Xuan back to the headquarters!"
"No need!"
Huo Changfeng sneered. "Maki Cangsheng, from now on, Leng Qianqiu and Zhuo Yichen will be in charge of everything in the Northern Wilderness. The headquarters has ordered you to return to the Dragon Pagoda within three days!"
"They want me to return?"
Maki Cangsheng's eyes narrowed.
He had rushed to the Northern Wilderness as soon as he came out of seclusion. On one hand, he wanted to deal with Lin Xuan. On the other hand, he wanted to leave the headquarters.
In the Northern Wilderness, as an expert at the peak of the Divine Astral Realm, he had many means to protect himself.
But once he was out of the Northern Wilderness, no matter how talented he was, he was still just a small fry. He could only be at the mercy of the big shots.
The headquarters was now in urgent need to collect providence and forge divine weapons to balance the world.
If one day, the headquarters was so hungry that they could not be choosy, he, the Saint Son of the Heavenly Secret Sect, would probably end up in an unpredictable situation.
He knew better than anyone the capricious faces of those in power.
Maki Cangsheng said in a deep voice, "Senior Huo, I wonder why the headquarters wants me to return? If there is nothing important, I plan to stay in the Northern Wilderness to fight against the Mutated Tribes and obtain military merits. I want to contribute to the great cause of the human race. "
Huo Changfeng snorted. "Hmph! As for whether there is anything important, I'm not sure either. But to report back to the headquarters within three days is an order from the Sect Master. You have no room to bargain! "
"Sorry, the matter in the Northern Wilderness is not over yet. Please forgive me for not being able to comply!" Maki Cangsheng said indifferently.
Huo Changfeng could not help but fly into a rage. He pointed at Maki Cangsheng's nose and roared, "How dare you! Maki Cangsheng, do you dare to openly defy orders?! "
Leng Qianqiu and Zhuo Yichen seemed to be very surprised by Maki Cangsheng's performance. Openly defying the Sect Master's orders was tantamount to destroying the sect!
"You guys go out. I'm going to cultivate in seclusion."
Maki Cangsheng's expression was cold. He had already lost interest in talking to the three of them.
"You!"
Huo Changfeng was about to say something when Maki Cangsheng waved his hand. A powerful repulsive force surged and sent the three of them out of the Dao Ji Hall.
The hall quietened down, but Mu Cangsheng's face was dark and gloomy, extremely ugly.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Maki Cangsheng, the Saint Son of the Keelung Sect, would take this step.
"Forget it. From now on, I'm just Maki Cangsheng!"
Maki Cangsheng laughed self-deprecatingly. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
From this moment on, he gave up the heavy responsibility of being the Saint Son of the Heavenly Secret Sect and decided to live for himself.
Lin Xuan, I don't need a living you anymore. I'll kill you …
"Maki Cangsheng! How dare you disobey orders! You're simply disgraceful! I'll definitely impeach you to the headquarters! Just wait for your bad luck! "
Outside the Dao Ji Hall, Huo Changfeng was so angry that he stomped his feet and cursed.
Leng Qianqiu and Zhuo Yichen's expressions were not good either.
Zhuo Yichen tried to persuade him. "Senior Huo, Maki Cangsheng has betrayed the Keelung Sect. I believe the headquarters will not let him go. It's not worth it for you to be angry with someone like him."
"That's right, Senior Huo. Please calm down. Those who betray the sect will not end well," Leng Qianqiu said.
The two of them looked like they were trying to persuade him, but in fact, they were confirming Maki Cangsheng's identity as a traitor.
Huo Changfeng calmed down a little, but he was even angrier at Maki Cangsheng.
He looked at the two of them and said earnestly, "Leng Qianqiu, Zhuo Yichen, I'll leave the Northern Wilderness in the hands of the two of you. I hope you won't disappoint the headquarters!
You only have one main mission, and that is to capture Lin Xuan alive. The sooner the better!
The secondary mission is to raise the flag of fighting against the Mutated Tribes and spread the name of the Keelung Sect!
As long as you can complete these two missions, I believe the titles of Tenshou Sacred Son and Tianqi Sacred Son will be in your pockets! "
Leng Qianqiu and Zhuo Yichen were excited. They cupped their hands and said, "Senior Huo, don't worry. We won't let you down!"
…
On the Scarlet Mountain.
A fiery red lizard that was more than ten meters long was climbing closer and closer to the top of the mountain.
When they looked back, they could only see the cliff face of the mountain. If they lost their footing and fell, even a God Astral Realm expert could fall to his death.
"Damn it! Is it really a good idea to build the capital of the country on such a high place? "
Lin Xuan sighed gloomily.
It took him half the night to climb up from the mountainside. It was almost dawn and he was still more than two hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.
Roar!
Suddenly, a low roar came from the corner in front of him. A lizard that was more than thirty meters long slowly poked its body out and looked at Lin Xuan in confusion.
Lin Xuan didn't understand the lizard language, but he could feel the message coming from its mind.
The lizard general was asking, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Xuan crawled forward and growled, "I want to go up and take a look."
"Roar! Get down! This is not a place you should be! "
"Roar! What if I want to go up and take a look?"
"Roar! I will eat you! I don't want you to disturb the Blood Dragon Clan's High Lord and cause trouble for our Dragon Lizard Clan! "
The two lizards roared as they got closer and closer.
When they were less than ten meters away, a green light suddenly appeared above Lin Xuan's head. It pierced through the void like lightning and hit the head of the Dragon Lizard General.
Dong!
There was a muffled sound!
The Rank Three Dragon Lizard's eyelids rolled. Then, it fell to the ground and stopped moving.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan rushed up and waved his hand to put the Dragon Lizard General into the Illusory Demon Orb.
"Well, two hundred and three. It's a good harvest."
Lin Xuan smiled and continued forward.
