Elder Wu of the Perak Dynasty rushed back to Tongzhou and to his home in the Perak Dynasty.
After he returned, he asked the Sect Master about it. A disciple told him that the Sect Master was cultivating in seclusion.
Wu Qiong's heart skipped a beat.
The Sect Master used the excuse of cultivating in seclusion to sneak out to meet people a few times before.
What about this time?
Wu Qiong went to the back of the mountain without saying anything.
Sure enough, there seemed to be people secretly meeting and talking in the forest.
The Sect Master of the Perak Dynasty looked at the masked man in front of him in shock.
"The Xuanwu General Du Kun and his army are trapped in the Dragon Ridge?"
The head of the Thunderbolt Sect spun a few rounds on the spot. "The Dragon Ridge is a desolate place with only a few big and small forces. None of them can withstand such a large number of soldiers. Could it be that the Wang Zhen Sect has made a move?"
"The situation is unclear. We should find out the truth as soon as possible and report it to our master," the masked man said.
The Sect Master of the Perak Dynasty suddenly remembered something. "One of our disciples said that he went to the Dragon Ridge to pick herbs a few days ago. I'll ask him."
The masked man nodded. "Do it as soon as possible."
Wu Qiong carefully hid to the side and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.
His face darkened.
The disciple that the Sect Master mentioned was the one who entered Baiyun Abyss by mistake and was captured by Chang 'an City.
Wu Qiong learned about the existence of Chang 'an City from him, so he went to the mountain to investigate. In the end, he was also captured.
That disciple was sent by Wu Qiong to other places for business.
If the Sect Master found him and asked, he would inevitably suspect Wu Qiong.
Elder Wu's eyes flashed.
He needed to act as soon as possible.
The masked man met the Sect Master of the Perak Dynasty and left the back of the Perak Dynasty mountain.
He used a spirit bird to send a letter. The letter was relayed from one secret base to another until it reached the capital of the Eastern Tang.
The people in the capital received the secret letter and secretly sent it to their masters.
"Du Kun suffered a big loss in the Dragon Ridge and lost tens of thousands of people?"
In the house, the young man in luxurious clothes put down the letter and pondered.
"Over at Longbei County, other than Fuzhen Guan, who else would have such a big hand?
Perhaps the Fuzhen Guan also had to guard the mountain gate in order to not let a single person out, right?
I've never heard of them moving their base to the Dragon Ridge. "
A pale-faced, beardless eunuch beside him asked in a soft voice, "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
The youth from the Hua Mansion suddenly laughed, "The ones who should be having a headache are Big Brother and Fuzhen Guan. Du Kun is Big Brother's man, and Longbei County is the place where Fuzhen Guan preaches.
Let's just wait and see for now. Perhaps this is an opportunity? "
"Yes, Your Highness," the eunuch replied respectfully.
In the Royal City, two groups of people met on a narrow path.
The leader of the group of people in white on the left saluted the other party. "Your Highness."
In the group on the right, there was a man surrounded by people. His facial features were young, but his sideburns were slightly white. He was the heir of the Eastern Tang Empire.
"It's currently an eventful period, and we're short on manpower. There are many things that we need to rely on your Mingguang Pavilion," the heir said indifferently.
The leader of the Mingguang Guards on the opposite side replied, "Serving the country loyally is our lifelong ambition."
The heir nodded. "Do you know about the matter in Longbei County?"
The Mingguang Guard on the opposite side replied, "I've heard that there might be evil sect experts entrenched there. It's not easy for the army to suppress them. We need experts of the same cultivation level to fight against them."
The heir looked at the other party. "Since the Mingguang Pavilion accepts the world's wind and wants to capture the world, then I'll leave it to you."
The Mingguang Guards replied in unison, "It's our duty. We'll do our best."
The heir nodded slightly and did not say anything else. He led the people around him and walked away.
After walking far away, a person beside the heir lowered his voice. "Your Highness, according to Du Kun's final report, the evil sect experts in Longbei County might be related to the Secret Pavilion …"
"We don't have time to care about Longbei County right now. We'll leave it to the Secret Pavilion. This kind of thing is suitable for them to do."
The heir said indifferently. "They need to give an explanation to Father. We'll just watch from the side."
The people around him nodded in understanding.
After the group of Mingguang Guards saw the other party leave, they continued to return to their own Mingguang Pavilion.
The Secret Pavilion that made people tremble in fear and made countless officials of the Eastern Tang change their expressions. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary yamen.
However, the lighting in the pavilion was not very good. It was still dark during the day.
The leader of the Mingguang Guards passed through the courtyard and came to a small pavilion in the backyard. He stopped outside the pavilion.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master."
The leader knelt on one knee and reported the disappearance of the Mingguang Guards from the Secret Pavilion who were chasing after the remnants of the Chen family, as well as the general situation of the incident in Longbei County.
The wind blew through the bamboo forest in the courtyard, and the bamboo leaves rustled.
A moment later, a quiet voice came from the dark pavilion.
"Just as the heir said, the Mingguang Pavilion is duty-bound. Know yourself and know your enemy. Find out the details of the other party and find out what's going on with Du Kun and his subordinates."
The leader seemed to understand something. "Yes, I will do as you say."
"Pay attention to the whereabouts of the other remnants of the Chen family and the reaction of the Fuzhen Guan."
After saying this, there was no more sound coming from the pavilion.
After the leader of the Mingguang Guards acknowledged the order, he bowed and left.
The Secret Pavilion soon received the news.
The remnants of the Chen family, who were originally scattered and hiding, were showing signs of gathering again.
They were heading toward the Longbei County's Qinzhou Prefecture, the southern foot of Longling.
And there seemed to be people from the Fuzhen Guan rushing to Qinzhou.
"A young disciple of the Fuzhen Guan?"
Zhang Dongyun, who had transformed into Mr. Dark Cloud in black, looked at Hui Tianyu who came forward to report.
The one-eyed youth in front of him said respectfully, "He is indeed a direct disciple of the Fuzhen Guan. He has already arrived in Qinzhou and is now on Mount Han where our sect used to be."
In order to avoid the attack of the Tang Dynasty army, the entire Hanshan School had moved to Chang 'an.
After Du Kun and his army were defeated, the Hanshan School did not immediately return to Mount Han in Qinzhou.
It was now the season for them to harvest in Chang 'an.
On the one hand, they seized the opportunity to take root in various aspects of Chang 'an. On the other hand, they wanted to further please the ruler of Chang' an.
Therefore, most of the senior members and core disciples of the sect stayed in Chang 'an.
Only a small number of people went down the mountain and returned to Qinzhou.
They did not get carried away. They just recovered their previous foundation step by step.
At this time, a disciple of the Fuzhen Guan arrived in Qinzhou. He first went to Mount Han, intending to understand what had happened before and the situation in Chang 'an.
The people of the Hanshan School greeted him and did not dare to hide anything. They immediately reported to the mountain.
"How did you greet him?" Zhang Dongyun, who was disguised as Mr. Dark Cloud, looked at the one-eyed young man in front of him with a faint smile.
Hui Tianyu said calmly, "Our sect follows the lead of Chang 'an. We open a road when we meet a mountain, build a bridge when we meet a river … and draw our sword when we meet an enemy."
Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly.
"The right person does the right thing."
He waved his hand, and a tall young man appeared beside him. "I think he is very suitable to represent you to greet the people of the Fuzhen Guan."
The big man was Hui Tianyu's Senior Fellow Apprentice, Cao Feng.
He seemed to have known that the people of the Fuzhen Guan had come. At this moment, his face was full of uncontrollable excitement.
When Hui Tianyu saw Cao Feng, he took a deep breath and bowed to Mr. Dark Cloud. "I understand what you mean."
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand, and the two people in front of him left.
When the head of the Hanshan school, who was waiting outside, saw the two of them come out together, he also took a deep breath.
"Go, don't fall … the prestige of the city of Chang 'an."
Hui Tianyu and Cao Feng went all the way down the mountain and returned to Mount Han.
In a house in the mountain forest, an Elder of the Hanshan school was exchanging greetings with a young Taoist priest.
"It's good that you temporarily feign civility with the city of Chang 'an. Find out the details of that place as soon as possible."
"Taoist priest, it's not that we refuse, it's just that this matter is really difficult …"
The young Taoist priest wrinkled his brows. "Don't play tricks with I."
"If we speak the truth, I'm afraid we'll ruin your Qi cultivation."
Suddenly, someone outside the house said loudly.
Cao Feng strode in, Hui Tianyu calmly following behind him.
The young Taoist priest raised his eyebrows. "What do you want to say?"
Hui Tianyu and Cao Feng first saluted the Elder of their sect.
Then Cao Feng looked at the young Taoist priest, seeming to be respectful.
"Someone from Chang 'an brought word that this place is their territory. Ox nose, get out!"
