In spring, the rocks of the Red River Valley were covered in Wood Spirit Flowers. When the wind blew through the valley, the red petals would be blown into the river.
Slowly, the river was filled with red petals, which was why it was called the Red River Valley.
Yi Tian received a mission a few days in advance. After leaving the Chiyang School, he immediately found a place to hide.
He also took off his sect uniform and changed into an ordinary linen shirt.
After putting away the sect jade and clothes, Yi Tian stepped on the flying wheel and quietly entered the Red River Valley.
He found a place to rest halfway up the cliff and set up the Bewildering Fog Array Disc.
After activating the formation, he saw a layer of white fog appear above the Red River Valley, covering everything from the waist of the mountain.
Hiding in a cave halfway up the mountain, Yi Tian tried to use his Spiritual Vision to look down at the situation in the valley below. He could actually see everything clearly.
After everything was prepared, he just had to wait for Wu Xing to lure the snake out of its hole.
Since there was nothing to do in the cave, Yi Tian simply sat down and began to cultivate.
Three days later, Yi Tian, who was meditating halfway up the mountain, felt some movement in the valley. He woke up from his meditation and ran to the entrance of the cave to look down.
He saw Wu Xing's group of three enter the valley according to their plan. After finding a patch of Wood Spirit Flowers, they began to pick them.
Hua Shicheng and Tang Lin were responsible for helping from the side. The three of them spent two hours picking about five kilograms.
After putting everything they picked into Wu Xing's storage bag, the three of them stopped to rest on the mountain.
Yi Tian cursed in his heart. These three people were too pretentious. They had nothing better to do than wait here. Did they have pig brains?
He Xinsheng was a very shrewd person. If he saw the three of them together, would he foolishly rush out to catch them?
After two hours, Wu Xing didn't find anything, so he called the other two to go back.
Yi Tian, who was hiding on the mountain, also began to wonder what had gone wrong with this opportunity.
Just as the three of them walked out of the entrance of the valley, Yi Tian heard the crisp sound of magic tools colliding with each other, breaking the tranquility of the valley.
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. It seemed that the other party still could not hold back and made a move. However, the timing was just right.
The whistling sound of Imperial Equipment flying through the air did indeed startle the few people at the entrance of the valley.
However, when he saw that the person who came was riding a white bone shield, Hua Shi Cheng's face turned ashen. He cursed Yi Tian in his heart.
On the other hand, Guo Wenliang's face lit up, and his hand movements slowed down.
The person standing beside Guo Wenliang was dressed in Xuan Ling Sect's outer disciple robes. He looked a little like He Xinsheng. He turned around and waved at the tiger-headed man.
When the tiger-headed man slowly lowered his magic tool, he asked the two of them, "Why did it take so long to capture Wu Xing? There's only one month left until the deadline."
When Guo Wenliang saw the tiger-headed man, he clearly felt a little guilty. Fortunately, his hand was free this time, so he pointed at the two people on the ground.
After explaining the reason, he repeatedly emphasized that they had captured Tang Wulin and that the matter of taking him away was not his responsibility.
When the other person saw the tiger-headed man looking at him, he could only brace himself and explain, "This time, we came here half a day early to set up an ambush. When we saw the three of them enter the valley, we set up an ambush at the entrance and buried our spirit talismans underground. When they came out, we attacked them from both sides."
He then pointed at Wu Xing, who was lying on the ground, and said, "We used our flying swords to apply anesthetic to him. Right now, the anesthetic is taking effect and he's fine."
After hearing this, the tiger-headed man paused for a moment. He then pointed at Hua Shi Cheng and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Guo Wenliang and the other Xuan Ling Sect disciple understood and prepared to go over.
Seeing the tiger-headed man walk over, Guo Wenliang purposely moved aside to leave some space for him.
But when Guo Wenliang saw the grassland behind the tiger-headed man, his face filled with doubt and his footsteps slowed.
The Xuan Ling Sect disciple took out a yellow copper hammer from his storage pouch. He formed a seal with his hands and was about to charge forward to destroy the city.
Hua Shi Cheng looked at the copper hammer and then saw the tiger-headed man gathering his spirit qi in his right hand. He held his axe in front of his chest and prepared to fight to the death.
The tiger-headed man shouted, "Go!" and three wooden stakes as thick as a thumb shot towards the Xuan Ling Sect disciple.
The stakes directly pierced through his body and nailed him to the ground. Without any more spirit qi, the copper hammer slowly fell to the ground.
The Xuan Ling Sect disciple spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at the tiger-headed man. Even in death, he didn't say a word.
On the other hand, Hua Shi Cheng was relieved and immediately sat down on the ground to heal himself. What happened next was none of his business.
After seeing the flames, Yi Tian had increased his speed. Thinking that the three of them wouldn't be able to last much longer, he became even more anxious.
It would be fine if they were still in the valley, but once they left the valley, Yi Tian wouldn't be able to save them immediately.
After ten breaths of time, Yi Tian couldn't hear any sounds of fighting. He thought that perhaps the three of them were too weak.
Otherwise, how could Guo Wenliang and He Xinsheng subdue the three of them in such a short time?
Yi Tian felt that with the three hostages in their hands, he couldn't fight them head-on.
He put on Yang Mingyang's storage bracelet and the tiger-headed man on his head and put away his flywheel.
Since he couldn't fight them head-on, he could only use his wits.
A moment later, after changing his attire, Yi Tian directly urged the white bone shield to fly in the direction of the accident, arriving in the blink of an eye.
Yi Tian, who was standing on the bone shield, saw Hua Shi Cheng kneeling on the ground with one leg facing two people at the entrance of the valley.
There were several wounds on his body. It was clear that he was ambushed.
As for Wu Xing and Tang Lin, they were lying on the ground unconscious. Both of them had wounds on their thighs that were neither deep nor shallow. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Yi Tian glanced at Guo Wenliang and the Xuan Ling Sect disciple. He discovered that Guo Wenliang's cultivation had already reached the peak of Qi Refining stage nine.
As for the other disciple, he was only at the peak of Qi Refining stage eight. That was why Yi Tian went to break his arm.
He killed one of them by surprise and then went to deal with the other.
Guo Wenliang hurriedly took out a flying sword from his storage bag and asked Yi Tian seriously, "Who are you? I know all the Qi Condensation disciples from the Scarlet Sun Sect who have cultivated the Scarlet Sun Primordial Fire. You're definitely not one of them."
Yi Tian coldly snorted and replied, "Why do you think I'm from Chiyang School?"
Unexpectedly, that Guo Wenliang disdainfully said, "Look at your fire attribute cultivation method, you haven't done anything yet. You can control and release your spirit qi freely. When you circulate your cultivation method, the qi of true fire will leak out from under your feet from time to time. Others can't see it, but those who also cultivate the Red Yang True Fire will know. If they had seen your footprints earlier, you wouldn't have succeeded."
This reminded Yi Tian, even Shi Cheng pointed at Yi Tian's footprints on the ground and said, "Boss Yi, you've exposed yourself, the grass on the ground has been dried by your spiritual energy."
Yi Tian turned around and snorted. He didn't care about that pig of a teammate anymore. He always liked to expose his disguise.
Hua Shi Cheng was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything else. He hoped that Yi Tian would be able to kill Guo Wenliang. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the future.
The two of them didn't say much and directly moved their hands. Yi Tian didn't need to pretend anymore.
He directly took out the mother-son flywheel from his storage bag and shot out a series of fireballs at Guo Wenliang.
Everyone was from the same cultivation technique, so their moves were similar. Guo Wenliang attached the Chiyang Truefire to his sword.
With a wave of his hands, a fire barrier appeared around him, blocking all the fireballs.
Then, Guo Wenliang stomped his feet and slashed towards Yi Tian with his sword in both hands.
Yi Tian hurriedly used Gale Flash to dodge as two whirlwinds revolved around his feet.
Guo Wenliang was stunned and said, "So it was you who killed Sun Haojie."
Yi Tian didn't reply. He pointed at Guo Wenliang with the Repeating Fireballs attached to his flywheel. The flywheel whizzed towards Guo Wenliang.
Guo Wenliang didn't panic when he saw this. He held his sword with both hands and wrapped it in flames. When he saw the flywheel coming, he used his sword to block it.
The magic artifacts of both sides collided in the air and bounced back.
After taking back the flywheel, Yi Tian saw that it was obviously burned by the Chiyang Truefire.
The surface seemed to have melted a layer of skin, and the inscriptions were burned. It seemed that the Chiyang Truefire was really powerful.
After the two of them caught their breath, Guo Wenliang spat out a flame from his mouth and sprayed it on the flying sword.
The flying sword was burned red. Then, he held the sword with both hands and rushed towards Yi Tian, wanting to finish him off in one move.
Yi Tian, who was standing at the same spot, only smiled. Since the Scarlet Sun Primordial Fire was so powerful, he had no choice but to accept it.
Since the Chiyang Truefire was so powerful, then the Chiyang Truefire that he cultivated should be even more powerful. He was really stupid not to use such a powerful move.
After quickly taking out a shield from his storage bag, Yi Tian formed a seal with both hands and placed the spiral fire shield on top of the shield.
Then, he pointed a wisp of Chiyang Truefire at the center of the shield. The originally red fire shield slowly revealed a trace of gold.
With a bang, the Chiyang Truefire Sword hit the shield, but the constantly rotating flames slowly swallowed the spirit sword. Even the Chiyang Truefire on it was gradually eaten.
Seeing that his strongest move had been broken so easily by his opponent, Guo Wenliang panicked.
He heard Yi Tian snort coldly. After freeing his right hand, a wisp of flame covered it and he used Gale Flash.
In the blink of an eye, he flashed to Guo Wenliang's side and stabbed his right hand into Guo Wenliang's body. Just like that, Guo Wenliang's entire body began to burn. Yi Tian's left hand didn't forget to grab Guo Wenliang's storage bag.
In the end, Yi Tian transmitted his voice to Guo Wenliang and said, "I am a direct disciple of a direct disciple."
After killing Guo Wenliang, Yi Tian hurriedly took out the medicine he had on him and threw it to Hua Shi Cheng, indicating that he and Guo Wenliang should consume it first.
Then, he ran over to the Xuan Ling Sect disciple's belongings and used a fireball to dispose of the corpse.
The two of them first cleaned up the battlefield. Then, each of them led one person into the cave on the cliff in the valley. Yi Tian Shi Fa covered the entrance of the cave with a layer of light film.
Afterwards, he activated the Bewildering Fog Formation Disk and the entire valley was instantly covered in white fog.
A quarter of an hour later, Wu Xing and Tang Lin woke up. When they saw Yi Tian, they were both happy and sad at the same time. After being injured by the flying sword,
When they were hit by the flying sword, the two of them felt that the circulation of their spirit energy was becoming slower and slower. After a while, they couldn't even open their eyes.
Fortunately, Hua Shi Cheng explained what had happened to the two of them. The two of them sighed at their luck and managed to escape this calamity.
But when they saw Yi Tian's serious expression, they didn't dare to say anything.
In truth, they had originally wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop. It was a pity that He Xinsheng hadn't come.
From the Xuan Ling Sect disciple's storage bag, Yi Tian came out and found the Xuan Ling Sect disciple's identity jade tablet, spirit stones, and a jade slip called the Xuan Ling Technique and True Talisman. There were also some talisman papers and talisman brushes.
So this person was called He Miao, He Xinsheng's younger cousin. No wonder they looked similar.
Since he had talisman crafting tools, he must be a talisman crafting master. It seemed that talismans were a good way to deal with enemies.
At the very least, the three people beside him had been ambushed. In Yi Tian's opinion, since it was useful, he naturally had to learn it. It might be useful in the future.
Guo Wenliang's storage bag contained the Scarlet Yang True Flame and Deep Earth Technique jade slips. Apart from that, there were also a lot of spirit stones.
After counting, there were about four thousand spirit stones. Including He Miao's, there were about five thousand spirit stones.
However, what made Yi Tian the happiest was that there were five taels of Star Iron. These things should have been accumulated after years of plundering. This Discipline Hall was really a lucrative job.
The most valuable thing was a letter. The contents of the letter matched the information from Yang Mingyang.
The White Bone Gate wanted these spies to hold the token and meet up with the Seven Evil Witch in the secret realm trial two years later.
As for the specifics, they would be informed when they met up.
It seemed that the White Bone Gate was after something big. They needed to gather all the spies they had sent out over the years. The item they were going to retrieve was definitely something extraordinary.
