Tuoba Xiong was slightly taken aback. This man was still thinking about this matter; he had completely forgotten about it.

Tuoba Xiong chuckled dryly, "Of course, of course, I will definitely do what I promised you."

"Let's go." Bai Ying said no more and left the tent first, saying to the brothers of Liuying Village at the door, "You can stay in Tianqiong Tribe for now."

"Boss." The brothers all looked worried.

Bai Ying raised his hand: "It's alright, the Chanyu will not treat you unfairly."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Xiong, who was following behind Bai Ying, immediately ordered the soldiers beside him: "Take these brothers away and treat them well!"

"Yes." The soldiers responded immediately and took the men that White Eagle had brought away.

Tuoba Xiong selected a team of warriors, numbering about a hundred, and it was clear that each of them was quite skilled.

White Eagle led them on a wild run towards Flowing Eagle Village.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Bai Ying dismounted and turned to Tuoba Xiong and the others, saying, "Our Liuying Village is up there, and the passage is also up there. The mountain path is difficult to traverse, so let's walk up."

Tuoba Xiong glanced up at the mountain. He knew this mountain; he had passed through it before, but he hadn't really noticed any villages or passages on it.

However, since he was already here, he still wanted to see what Bai Ying had mentioned. If it really was a wonderful passage, then they would be able to take over the five cities in the North without breaking a sweat!

Tuoba Xiong and his party dismounted and followed Bai Ying up the mountain.

The entire mountain was guarded by the brothers of Liuying Village. When they saw the white eagle, they all bowed respectfully and said, "Chief!"

As for Tuoba Xiong and his group behind Bai Ying, they pretended not to know them and knew nothing about what they were doing.

The fact that the leader was able to lure out the Sky Dome Chanyu is already the first step in completing the mission. With the leader's abilities, completing the mission should not be a problem.

Tuoba Xiong remained vigilant throughout the journey, and upon seeing numerous guards from Liuying Village on the mountain, he became even more wary: "Your Liuying Village is quite heavily guarded!"

Bai Ying raised his lips noncommittally: "Our Liuying Village is located outside the northern border of Dongchu and close to the Northern Rong. We are surrounded by tigers in front and wolves behind, so naturally we have to be on high alert. Chanyu, you don't need to worry. Our Liuying Village has always been like this. It's not that we only started being on high alert today because of your visit."

Bai Ying's explanation made it seem as if Tuoba Xiong was being petty, so Tuoba Xiong didn't ask any more questions and continued to follow Bai Ying upwards.

When they reached the mountainside, Tuoba Xiong and his companions finally saw the Flowing Eagle Village that Bai Ying had mentioned. The entire village was nestled in the mountainside, surrounded by lush, well-grown trees that completely covered the village.

It must be said that Liuying Village is quite good at choosing a location to build its village. Apart from people coming up the mountain, you really can't tell anything about it from the foot of the mountain. It is quite secluded.

Bai Ying pointed to the village and introduced, "This is our Liuying Village. The passage is still ahead."

Bai Ying did not intend to take Tuoba Xiong to visit Liuying Village, and continued to lead them forward.

Of course, Tuoba Xiong was also there to see the passage. He wasn't interested in Liuying Village, but at first glance, he did see that there were indeed quite a few people in Liuying Village.

Bai Ying said that their Liuying Village had 10,000 men. If they could take over the entire Liuying Village, their Sky Dome's military strength would increase considerably.

Once he conquers the north, what about this Floating Eagle Stronghold...?

As Tuoba Xiong was thinking about his good fortune, Bai Ying led them to the entrance of the passage: "The passage is just ahead, but it is very narrow, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Please be very careful when you walk through it."

After giving instructions, Bai Ying pushed aside a thick patch of vines and slipped inside.

Seeing the white eagle suddenly disappear before his eyes, Tuoba Xiong immediately tensed up and said to the warriors behind him, "Be careful in the future, just in case it's a trap."

"Yes," the warriors responded immediately.

Tuoba Xiong then crawled into the vines and discovered that there was a small cave behind them, where the white eagle was already waiting for them.

The warriors also crawled into the vines.

Once they had all entered the cave, Bai Ying spoke up: "Don't worry, I won't harm you. Even if I really wanted to, I wouldn't expose my entire village to harm you, much less let my entire village pay with their lives!"

Tuoba Xiong knew how much Bai Ying valued Liuying Village, and upon hearing this, he realized that he had been overthinking things.

If this person truly wanted to harm him, they would never have brought him here. If they really dared to harm him, not only would they wipe out the entire Flowing Eagle Village on this mountain, even though he still had hostages in the Sky Dome Tribe!

Besides, he had no grudge against him, so why would he want to harm him?

With this in mind, Tuoba Xiong felt relieved and followed the white eagle forward. After passing through the cave, they entered a long mountain path.

Looking at the winding, seemingly endless mountain path, Tuoba Xiong frowned and asked, "Is this the passage you were talking about?"

This passage is so narrow! It was a bit wider at first, but looking ahead, it seems like only one or two people can walk through it.

Bai Ying led the way without turning his head, saying, "This passage leads all the way to the rear of Beifeng City."

Upon hearing Bai Ying's words, Tuoba Xiong became interested again and followed Bai Ying forward.

With Bai Ying walking in front, Tuoba Xiong no longer needed to worry that Bai Ying would harm him.

At first, Tuoba Xiong was quite energetic, but as he walked, he became afraid.

He realized that there was a cliff right next to the mountain path, and he had accidentally kicked a stone, but he couldn't hear it hit the ground. The cliff must be very, very deep, and it would be terrible if someone fell down.

Tuoba Xiong frowned and asked Bai Ying, "This cliff is quite high; this could be a bit dangerous."

Bai Ying, without turning his head, said, "This cliff is quite high, but there's a lake below. Even if you do fall, you won't die, let alone fall off if you're careful."

One has to admire White Eagle; he can lie without batting an eye.

When Tuoba Xiong heard that there was a lake below, he was truly comforted, and even the steep mountain path didn't seem so scary anymore.

“This mountain path is so narrow, even if this passage is passable, only a few people can get through!” Tuoba Xiong suddenly blurted out.

"Although the mountain path is narrow, it is very, very long. It can easily carry tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, let alone just a few." Bai Ying was more than happy for them to send more people to travel this mountain path.

Tuoba Xiong quickly understood how long Bai Ying meant by the mountain path. It took them more than an hour to walk, and their legs were so weak from walking, before they finally saw the end of the mountain path.

"We've arrived just ahead."

White Eagle led them down the mountain path.

Tuoba Xiong and the others immediately collapsed onto the large rocks beside them, as if all their strength had been drained.

Seeing them like this, Bai Ying couldn't help but smile.

These northern Rong people were indeed not good at walking mountain paths.

Even Tuoba Xiong and these few warriors were almost out of combat strength after walking such a long mountain road, let alone the ordinary Northern Rong soldiers!
