"This road is above the blue sky, riding on migratory birds."
You Rui did not sell it. There is a saying: "There is a kind of spiritual creature in this world, named 'Xiaoyao'. It is said that there is a Kunpeng bloodline said by the Nanhua Immortal, 'the clouds are clear, and the blue sky is carried'. These birds flock in groups of three to five. , went south from the Sea of Beiming, flew to the East Tianzhu, and attacked the 'Tian Waterfall' angrily. According to legend, among the hundreds of millions of 'Xiaoyao', there is one bird that borrows the power of the Tianzhu to transform into a Kunpeng. Throughout the ages, although there is no I heard that there are successful cases, but looking at its flight route, it must pass through Beihuang, from the mouth of Cangjiang River to the East China Sea."
Yu Ci was silent.
You Rui continued: "This bird can fly at a speed of up to 108,000 miles in a day, which is the extreme level of flight in this world. At certain times, it can even travel through the void, so although its route is roughly fixed, But it is unpredictable. The actual speed is more than ten times higher than that of the sacred birds. It is only under the limited category of "Dijiang" and so on. The distance between this place and the mouth of Cangjiang River is about 20 million miles. If everything. All goes well, we should arrive on the 20th."
Yu Ci asked curiously: "Happy Bird? Since this thing's escape speed has reached the extreme of this world, and it has the ability to travel through the void, it is not easy to kill, not to mention riding on it?"
"This is one of the risks. Since the escape speed is high, the pressure will increase sharply, and it is unknown whether it can be tolerated. There are also unpredictable dangers when traveling through the void, but the Wumen has psychic spells that can control everything. Communication between living beings may be avoided if properly appeased.”
"This is just one of them, what about the other ones?"
"The other thing is that we are not the only ones who have the idea of Xiaoyao Bird."
"Huh?"
Two days passed quickly. The west of the Northern Wasteland and the north of Tuo City were no longer covered in black sand, and looked much cleaner. But the clouds are heavy and boundless, and the air is extremely thin. It is more difficult than the high altitude. Only those monks who can breathe for a long time can stay here for a long time.
As for the ferocious birds and beasts that used to live in the black storm, they have long since died out. The few that are left either have to crawl into the northern wilderness and find a new life, or they have to adapt to the new environment with difficulty. The environment and the original biosphere completely collapsed.
But the above-ground world in the Northern Wilderness, especially around the battlefield, has never been a dead place. Due to the legends of treasures and secret palaces, monks often shuttled back and forth with light and sword light, and there were constant conflicts. It happens, and it is not uncommon for ten or eight people to die in one day.
Today seems to be no exception. Above and below the gloomy clouds, light can be seen passing by constantly, but if you look closely, you can find that the monks do not come one by one, but in groups. Every time a group of people arrives, there will be signs appearing in the clouds. Even if they appear and disappear, people who are familiar with the situation in this world can also identify them. Most of these signs are well-known and have the potential to overwhelm one party.
This situation lasted for a full five hours, with no fewer than twenty groups of people, more than 300 people, distributed within a hundred miles radius. It looks quite spacious, but among them, more than 70% are Huandan monks, and there are more than ten Buxu strong men. The sensing ranges of each other are intertwined, and the Qi is mixed. Even if there is no hostility for the time being, the atmosphere is still very tense. .
Under this situation, Su Tong, who was responsible for recording and resettlement work, felt even more uncomfortable.
He ran forward and backward with the jade slip. He was obviously an intermediate cultivator of Huandan, but he was sweating profusely. If he wasn't afraid that some of the unruly people would be annoyed, he even wanted to release the newly cultivated cultivator. It would be best if I become a ghost clone and help share some of the work.
Unfortunately, he did not dare after all.
Nowadays, the monks in the hundreds of miles around are all here for one goal, which is the Xiaoyao Bird who is about to pass by here. But for the entrances of the "Wild South Five Links" such as Dazhui Hall and Xuebao Hall, There is another thing - to organize this "grand meeting" well and show strength in front of the first-class sects and forces such as the Yinshan Sect and Xiyu League.
Back then, in order to deal with Lingxi Sanren and Huangquan Secret Mansion, the most representative halls in the five southern cities such as Yinku, Qianyi, Liuhuo, Huayan, and Feilian formed an offensive and defensive alliance, advancing and retreating together. The Tianduo Sect also took the initiative to join in, forming an extremely powerful alliance.
Unfortunately, due to lack of stamina, the forces of Qianzhang City, Huayan City, and Feilian City withdrew one after another. After the great change, the Tianduo Sect was scattered one by one, leaving only Dazhuitang and Xuebaotang struggling. With support, after more than ten years, the pain finally came to an end.
Perhaps they have partially absorbed some of the masters from the Tianduo Sect, or perhaps others feel that Sanjiafang, which has shown the background of the Demon Sect, is too strong. Qianzhang City’s Wuhuatang, Huayan City’s Wuzuntang, and Fei In Lian City's Feng Bo Tang, these Tangs who had joined and then left, joined forces again to fight overtly and covertly with Sanjiafang.
After several years of hard work, a relatively stable alliance has finally been formed. The outside world calls it the "Five Southern Alliances", which means the alliance of five cities in the southern part of the northern wilderness. It can be regarded as an emerging force in the spiritual world.
Precisely because of its "newness", it needs external recognition. This time to hunt the free bird is an extremely rare opportunity.
Think of that carefree bird, its flight speed is the highest in the world, and it is also born with magical powers in the void. Even if its migration route is fixed, it is extremely difficult to catch it. Traditionally, the hunting of Xiaoyao birds is done at the mouth of the Cangjiang River. Based on years of experience, a relatively fixed pattern has been formed. People who are interested in Xiaoyao birds are generally more inclined to start hunting there.
The reason why we moved to the Northern Wilderness this time was because of the thoughtful people from Huangnan Wulian. They accidentally discovered that due to the changes in the Northern Wilderness environment, especially the changes in the structure of the void, some of the void magical powers of Xiaoyao Bird were partially restricted. Naturally, it was A "bird hunting net", then a plan was made, the news was released, and various sects were invited to carry out the "bird hunting" plan.
This time, there are five sects in the Xiyu Alliance participating. The Yinshan Sect, which has always been one of the buffering forces between the Demon Sect and the Eight Views Palace in the North, also sent people, not to mention the internal positions of some in the Northern Wilderness. The sects and halls join in the fun. If they can get their approval, the Huangnan Five Alliance's reputation in the North Region will be completely successful. On the contrary, their end will be worrying.
The task is important, and core churches such as Dazhui Hall and Xuebao Hall are really red-eyed and going all out to ensure the success of the "bird hunting" plan.
As a member of the inner circle of Dazhuitang, Su Tong is also a talented person who is proficient in the art of soul and mind, so it is natural that he will have to work hard. Fortunately, more than five hours have passed, and the preliminary preparations are almost complete...
Su Tong wiped his sweat and was cleaning up dozens of records on the jade slips when someone from behind suddenly called him: "Who is that, come here! What kind of traveler is that? Who is she? The unknown wizard, also Dare to preside over the 'trip wire' of the Gangfeng Belt?"
Su Tong cursed loudly in his heart, but when he turned around, his naturally gloomy face forced a smile: "It turns out to be Deacon Xia, the candidate for the Gangfeng Belt's 'trip wire' is actually from the Yinshan Sect. Recommended by Mr. Gaida..."
"Oh, are you saying that his Yinshan Sect's vision is better than our Qianshan Sect's?"
If Feihun City didn’t support you, it would be easy and enjoyable for Yinshan Sect to destroy two of you, Qianshan Sect!
Of course, Su Tong didn't dare to say this. The Xia Shuqi in front of him was nothing, and his cultivation level at the middle level of Huandan was only slightly higher than him. But the one behind him, Qianshan Cult Master Master Xia Boyang is a first-rate talent in this world.
He had stepped into the sky a few years ago and just returned from the outside world this year. It is said that he will take another step forward soon, perfecting his true form and body, and entering the intermediate step. Moreover, he is the nephew of Mrs. Xia of Feihun City, and is deeply appreciated by Youcan. He is really someone who cannot afford to offend.
Being pressed hard, Su Tong came up with an alternative solution and pretended to be stupid: "I really don't understand this tripwire thing. In this case, I will find someone who knows how to talk to Deacon Xia. Tell us?"
After a few words of um and um, Su Tong walked away. Halfway through, he let out a sigh: Do you think you are a fool? It was originally aimed at your Qianshan Sect, otherwise how could it have been involved in the Gangfeng Belt?
After the sword-witch war, the witchcraft declined. The only two schools with complete inheritance are Feihun City and Qianshan Sect. The former has incorporated some Taoist principles to adapt to the situation in this world, so it is carefully calculated. Come on, Qianshan Sect is more authentic.
However, because of its orthodoxy and way of doing things, it is somewhat "distinct" from the mainstream of the spiritual practice world. To put it bluntly, it has a bad reputation. Who can really trust it?
Xia Shuqi is quite famous for his impatience, but his superficial appearance might be the instruction of the person behind it. You want to put pressure on Huangnan Wulian.
Su Tong wanted to sigh. To catch the free bird, all parties must work together. If there is a slight mistake, the "bird hunting" plan that has been prepared for more than a year will come to nothing. So although he was freed from the current problem, he still had to report the matter to see how the superiors would deal with it.
I hope I won’t be offended...
After releasing the jade slip, he was still a little worried. Suddenly he felt something in his heart. When he looked at the sky, he saw the agreed sign flashing in the clouds, but it was the "Wandering Witch" who had arrived. He didn't dare to be negligent, so he called his left and right subordinates, gave some instructions, and then he flew into the air with his vehicle.
In the plan, the wizard named You tried his best not to meet people from the Qianshan Sect to avoid any complications. After all, the Yinshan Sect called people here to add extra insurance, not to do anything bad.
The location of the Gangfeng layer tripwire is about a hundred miles away from the ground. Of course, this location is only preliminary and will need to be adjusted in time as the actual situation changes.
Both the speed and stability of piloting a vehicle are far inferior to Bu Xu's ability to control air. Su Tong is not good at escape techniques. It took a quarter of an hour to travel a hundred miles. The people should have been almost settled. There was no need for him to come up, but Xia Shuqi's words still made him have some doubts, so he came closer to take a look.
Unexpectedly, he was still five or six miles away when he saw chaotic figures of people in the clouds over there, and the noise could be heard even from his side.
