"My lord, please calm down."
Although he had felt that this woman was unusual when he first met her, Li Yinchen was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the dragon's might, and his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he had been slaying demons on the border for many years, and his mind was tough, so he quickly adapted.
"I have heard of the Ningzi Zhaoye Palace you mentioned. It is a large sect in Mushanzhou on the other side of the Ximu Mountains." He asked carefully.
"Yes." After calming down, the woman quickly controlled her emotions and did not continue to lose her temper.
"If it's those people, I did see them a few years ago." Li Yinchen recalled the scene when he first joined the night patrol team.
At that time, while patrolling at night, one could often see a few people holding lanterns. They were dressed in purple and white clothes, holding long swords, wearing crowns on their heads, and jade rings on their waists. They were indeed very elegant.
But later, when he emerged in the night patrol, these people had slowly disappeared at some point, and it seemed that they had not appeared for a long time. Although some people in the border army talked about this in the early years, they talked about it less and less later, so that he gradually forgot the existence of these people.
Listening to Li Yinchen recounting the past, the woman frowned again, and there was some doubt in her words.
"These Zhaoye Palace disciples disappeared? How is that possible? Although Zhaoye Palace isn't ranked high, it's still one of the top sects. There are probably nearly a thousand people above the fifth level under its tutelage, and there are also many peripheral factions under its jurisdiction. If all of them were mobilized, its influence would spread across several continents. How could it disappear without a sound?"
"I don't know about that." Li Yinchen shook his head. He was just a patrol captain at the border. He was not a big shot and knew very little.
"Perhaps we can ask the border commanders of our state; they should know some inside information."
"Forget it. Going back now will waste a lot of time. Let's go directly to the shrine. No matter what, it is the hub of the dragon veins of the Sunset Mountains. We can always find some clues there." The woman shook her head and continued to urge Li Yinchen to lead the way.
"Sir..." Li Yinchen shook his head secretly, and then finished the words in his heart.
I'm afraid this gentleman is an imperial envoy sent from Luojing. At the very least, he should have some royal blood. The dragon power that flashed just now is not possessed by ordinary people.
As a pro-dragon nation, many of the Plantagenet dynasty's royal family and aristocratic families specialized in cultivating the hidden dragon (dragon sequence). The royal family also intermarried with many of those aristocratic families, and their bloodlines were close, giving them special talents and abilities.
After sighing inwardly, Li Yinchen felt that he might encounter many major events on this trip. Amidst his worries, he also felt a surge of passion. He had always been depressed about the situation of the border troops, and now he had the opportunity to break the deadlock and realize his ambitions, he was naturally very happy.
"That girl is following closely. I'm going to speed up." After saying that, Li Yinchen squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse under him ran faster and galloped towards the place where the setting sun was in the distance.

In the mountains at dusk.
Wearing an evil ghost mask, Loran Hill worked with a group of men in black to quickly shuttle through the mountains. When they encountered some bottomless ravines, these people jumped up directly and glided in the air like black birds with spread wings.
Although we haven't arrived yet, we can hear a lot of noises coming from afar.
A group of Youchi people dressed in black and coarse linen pushed carts and carried various things on their backs as they trudged along the mountain road. Some of them were panting, some were struggling with crutches, and some were comforting the crying children beside them.
Behind the team, more than twenty roaring monsters were chasing them. They looked like vicious dogs, but their bodies were pitch black, and there was a row of sharp bone spurs on their backs, which looked very creepy.
Bang——
A huge iron hammer swept across, smashing the skull bones of a black dog, splattering drops of blood that fell on the dry, gray soil, staining it a rich black and red.
Facing these monsters chasing the migrating team, a fat man holding two hammers was at the end of the team. He was about three meters tall, and his skin was pale and bluish, with some ghost face patterns painted on it, which made him look quite imposing.
"You bunch of demons, get out of here now." After swinging the hammer to knock down several black dogs, he was a little breathless and roared in a rough voice, with a look of worry and anxiety on his face.
But these vicious dogs of the Undead Order couldn't understand human speech. They emerged from the pitch-black cracks in the ground, searching exclusively for living creatures. In their eyes, the souls of intelligent creatures were a delicacy, increasing their intelligence and making advancement easier. They wouldn't give up this delicious meal just because this fat man stopped them.
hiss--
Several black vicious dogs were restlessly digging the soil under their feet, spewing out wisps of cold black smoke from their mouths. They surrounded the fat man and waited for an opportunity to attack.
Although this fat man possessed the strength of a Sequence 4, he was alone and somewhat overwhelmed by the dozen or so Sequence 3 Undead dogs. As he charged forward, several of the dogs behind him suddenly attacked, forcing him to turn back and defend. This put him in considerable danger. If he hadn't handled the situation properly, he might have died.
Just as he turned around and swept across again, knocking the two black dogs away, five black dogs from the other side rushed over suddenly, two of them bit his shoulders, one bit his arm, and the other two bit his stomach and thigh respectively.
A burst of piercing pain hit him, and he roared in anger. He then smashed a black dog into pieces with his backhand and tried to pull the other vicious dogs off his body. Unfortunately, the other black dogs watching on the side would not miss this opportunity. One after another, they rushed up to him, some biting his calves, some biting his thighs, and some directly going for his waist. Soon, his body was covered with black vicious dogs.
