The four of them flew for two days and two nights before arriving at Gray Valley's location. There was a layer of gray fog covering an area of two hundred and fifty kilometers around here. There was an unpleasant stench in the air, which was a qualitative change caused by the Demonic Qi rising from the ground and mixing with the Spiritual Qi.
After arriving at Gray Valley's airspace, Xiang Donghui pointed and said, "Junior Martial Brother Yi, you can set up a formation here. When Murong Zhenghong brings people here, you can seal off the surrounding area of two hundred and fifty kilometers. We'll hide in the surroundings and wait for an opportunity to attack."
"That's easy, but can Senior Martial Brother Xiang be sure that Murong Zhenghong will come?" Yi Tian asked. He had a faint feeling that this operation would not go smoothly, but since it was arranged by the sect's discipline department, there shouldn't be too big of a mistake.
Xiang Donghui was only stunned for a moment, then he seemed to lack confidence and only replied, "She should come. After all, this is the only remaining place that can kill large amounts of Demonic Beast. Aside from here, it would be difficult for Murong Zhenghong to find a sufficient supply. "
Yi Tian's expression did not change, but he did not agree with Xiang Donghui's words. In the spirit realm, he knew of at least three or four places that could absorb large amounts of Demonic Qi.
Now that things had gotten to this point, they could only make preparations first. Taking out the Sundial, Luo Geng flew in the air and began to measure the terrain of Gray Valley below. A moment later, he took out four formation plates and lightly set up the Four Spirits Sealing Formation in the four cardinal directions.
This set of array discs had originally been taken from Murong Feixue, but he had carefully repaired and adjusted them after the incident. Now that he was using it, the four of them immediately entered the formation and hid themselves.
Waiting was always long, and during this time, there were many low level cultivators that entered the secret realm that entered the formation to kill Demonic Beast. Yi Tian followed Xiang Donghui's instructions and let them do as they pleased.
Time continued to pass, and the four of them set up an ambush in Gray Valley for three days before finally discovering a group of cultivators under the banner of the Murong Clan. However, when Yi Tian used his Divine Sense to investigate, he found that the number of people did not match. There were actually ten of them. Moreover, their cultivations were all at the late stage of Yuanying. His heart immediately sank, and he knew that things were not good.
In comparison, the other three must have noticed that something was wrong at the first moment. It was not the beast-catching team led by Murong Zhenghong. Although they were also from the Murong family, there was no need to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. To deal with them, the Sect's Discipline Department only needed to dispatch the Swift Dragon Squad led by an early stage Deity Transformation cultivator.
After ten seconds, there was a message from Xiang Donghui on the jade token of the sect. Yi Tian just glanced at it roughly, and then his figure turned into nothingness and completely disappeared.
Not long after, the four of them met again a thousand miles away. Xiang Donghui said with a serious expression, "The scouts of the sect's Discipline Department have sent back news. Murong Zhenghong actually gave up on the trip to the Bright Illusion Realm and sent a group of people here."
"Then, we have missed the chance. Who knows when we will be able to wipe them out?" Murong Longcheng was filled with hatred.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't take things too seriously. I believe that Senior Martial Brother Xiang still has something to say." Duan Yi hurriedly stopped him.
Xiang Donghui nodded and continued, "According to the news, Murong Zhenghong has already adjusted her direction and is on the Heaven Patrolling Battleship to Fei Yu City."
"Could it be that she's going back to the main Murong family?" Duan Yi said in shock, "That's rare." Then, he looked at Murong Longcheng.
"No." Murong Longcheng said without hesitation, "When Murong Zhenghong left the clan, she swore that she would never step into the ancestral hall again. That's why the elders allowed her to go to Qingfeng City and establish a branch family."
"Then, could it be that she wants to go back and seize power?" Yi Tian asked, "Maybe she already knows that fellow Murong isn't in the main branch and wants to take advantage of the situation."
Murong Longcheng said with disdain, "That's impossible. If she wants to take back the Murong family, she has to call back all ten elders. Right now, there are at least five elders guarding the main branch. There are also two elders cultivating in the Feiyu Kenshū Sect. She won't be able to take over the Murong family by herself. "
"Then what's her goal? She can't be going sightseeing on the Heaven Patrolling Battleship right? "Duan Yi said.
"No, she needs large amounts of demonic aura or demonic beasts to make the Fiend Demon Nascent Soul Pill. If she can't find the materials, the situation will go out of control. With her personality, she definitely won't do something that will destroy herself. "Xiang Donghui said without hesitation.
After the four discussed, they decided to stop for now and leave the Bright Illusion Realm before coming up with a plan.
A few days later, when the four of them left the Bright Illusion Realm, Xiang Donghui and Duan Yi suddenly frowned. It seemed that the two of them had received a message at the same time. When they saw the message, they had a confused expression on their faces. They looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces.
Knowing that the situation had changed, Yi Tian hurriedly asked, "Did you find traces of Murong Zhenghong?"
At this moment, Duan Yi changed his cheerful nature and revealed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Murong Zhenghong took the Heaven Patrolling Battleship to the Crescent Mountain Castle. What's so special about that place? Could it be that there are some undiscovered remnants of the Demon Race? "
When Yi Tian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. The Crescent Mountain Castle was just a small border town. It wasn't anything special. But if they flew further into the Wasteland, they would reach the Soul Suppressing Devil Cave. Could it be that Murong Zhenghong's destination was there?
He didn't know how much the Demon Race he had encountered there had recovered. Furthermore, he had personally killed the Feiyu Kenshū Sect's Ou Jinglong and successfully passed his tribulation.
Thinking about this, although Yi Tian's expression didn't change, a trace of gloominess flashed in his eyes. Seeing that the three of them were so confused, he didn't say anything and just slowly backed away.
However, his actions were noticed by Xiang Donghui. He didn't say anything in front of others and only said, "Everyone, let's disperse first. We'll decide on the next step after we receive news from the frontlines."
Duan Yi and Murong Longcheng could only wave their hands and salute before flying towards Clear Wind City.
When they were almost out of sight, Yi Tian turned around and wanted to leave. However, Xiang Donghui's voice came from behind him, "Junior Martial Brother Yi, let's talk in private."
Yi Tian stabilized himself and said with a serious expression, "What does Senior Martial Brother Xiang want to teach me?"
"I don't dare to teach you," Xiang Donghui said calmly, "It's just that I feel that Junior Martial Brother is a bit familiar with the Crescent Mountain Castle. Have you been there before?"
"I have." Yi Tian didn't hide it. He just had to check the teleportation records to find clues. Even if he used the Thousand Faces Technique to hide his identity, people would still find clues. Therefore, Yi Tian openly admitted it.
"Is there anything special about it?" Xiang Donghui asked.
"There's nothing special about the Crescent Mountain Castle. It's just that there's a place called the Soul Suppressing Devil Cave that's a bit suspicious."
