In a huge canyon, a team is moving slowly forward.
"Everyone, be careful, after we pass this valley, we will enter the Windy Plains.
Strong winds blow over the Windy Plains all year round.
There were strong gales raging in the sky, making it difficult for even the most powerful Jindan realm masters to fly and they could only walk.
In the Windy Plains, wind beasts and sand bandits often appear.
If you encounter wind beasts and sand bandits, please work together to fight the enemies and don't panic or run around.
Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, our shipping company will not provide any extra assistance."
When they were about to leave the valley, a burly man in armor riding on a spiritual horse with red scales shouted loudly.
After giving his instructions, he came to a carriage and said politely:
"Everyone, if any unexpected situation occurs after entering the Windy Plains, according to our prior agreement, please lend a hand."
"Of course. It's rare that Commander Wang is willing to let us follow him. We should take care of each other."
On the carriage, an old man with two boys and girls aged seven or eight laughed.
"Then I'll trouble you all."
After receiving the old man's affirmative reply, the armored man returned to his original position with peace of mind.
The reason why he agreed to let those people follow the company was because he was impressed by their cultivation.
Although they have traveled to the Windy Plains many times, they cannot guarantee that they will be safe.
If there are more experts to take care of us, it will be an extra guarantee.
"This guy is really calculating. He doesn't even want to pay us anything. He just wants us to be their bodyguards."
After the armored man left, a thin young man in the carriage snorted coldly.
"After all, we are all traveling together, so don't worry too much." The old man consoled him, "I heard that the sand bandits in the Windy Plains have become more rampant recently.
If we were to walk alone, it would be very dangerous, so we should take care of each other to be safe."
"Humph, old man Qiao, I did agree to it. It was only you who agreed to take action just now. I didn't agree!
If anything goes wrong, I won't waste my energy helping these idiots.
I will leave alone then. I don’t believe that this Windy Plain is really that scary!”
The thin young man said coldly.
The old man called Old Man Qiao opened his mouth when he heard this, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
He looked at the remaining people and saw that they seemed to have nothing to do with it, so he could only sigh.
He hugged the two timid children beside him and became a little worried.
Somehow, he always had a feeling that something unpleasant was going to happen next.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the corner of the carriage, where a young man with ordinary looks was holding a gray civet cat.
Although this young man looked ordinary, his cultivation was only at the first level of the lower grade golden elixir.
But somehow, he always felt that the other party seemed a little unusual.
The reason was probably that a few days ago, their team was suddenly attacked by a fifth-turn Jindan middle-level monster, causing a lot of casualties.
Even the people in their carriage were frightened by the monster.
However, the old man accidentally saw the young man. Although there was a look of panic on his face, there was a calmness in the depths of his eyes.
From then on, he felt that this young man was a little unusual.
However, the monster at the back was dealt with by the people from the shipping company, so they had no chance to take action.
Moreover, although he had been observing secretly over the past few days, he still could not find any clues.
As a result, he couldn't be sure in the end whether the young man's panic was fake or not.
"This old man Qiao is spying in secret again. Did he reveal his flaws when the Jindan realm monster attacked a few days ago?"
In the corner of the carriage, Lu Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed, felt a vague sense of being watched from somewhere and felt helpless.
At this time, he had changed his appearance.
Even the aura of the soul has changed greatly.
Now, even if Nangong Yuanwu and Mo Hongyun were standing in front of him, they might not be able to recognize his identity.
But Lu Qing didn't expect that the changes he could conceal from the Yuanshen realm were discovered by an old man in the third level of Jindan realm.
The attack a few days ago came quite suddenly. He was meditating with his eyes closed at the time.
However, when the Jindan monster attacked, he still cooperated and showed panic.
But who would have thought that old man Qiao was so smart that he actually noticed his abnormality.
"My acting skills are still not good enough." Lu Qing shook his head secretly.
As the saying goes, old people become more cunning, and this old man Qiao is obviously a veteran.
He just gave a perfunctory response, but his flaw was immediately discovered.
After sighing, Lu Qing ignored it and continued to close his eyes and rest.
Even if Old Man Qiao noticed something, it would be fine as long as the other party didn't come to disturb him.
He hid his skills and infiltrated this team. In addition to traveling and growing, he also concealed his identity and did not want to cause any trouble.
"However, I didn't expect that after only two or three years of seclusion, something so big would happen outside."
Lu Qing recalled the information he heard from a certain city some days ago.
Originally, he had been in seclusion for a long time and wanted to feel the hustle and bustle of the city.
However, he accidentally heard some diners in a restaurant talking about the conflict between the Gongshu family and the Nangong family.
It turned out that ever since Gongshu Yu died at the hands of Nangong Yuanwu.
The relationship between the Gongshu family and the Nangong family became much more tense.
But Nangong Yuanwu still controls the lives of two Gongshu people at the Yuanshen realm.
In order to avoid the consequences, Gongshu Jia temporarily suppressed his anger.
He chose to negotiate with the Nangong family instead of going to war directly.
However, not long after, the situation changed because of something.
The cause was that Gongshu Yu's mother, the wife of the Gongshu family, could not bear the pain of losing her son.
He spent a huge price and put a reward on Nangong Yuanwu's head in the Nether Palace.
The Nether Palace is a very mysterious and strange, yet extremely powerful dark force.
It is said that this force exists not only in the Tianyuan World, but also in other worlds.
It is a terrifying force that is widely distributed and is not limited to a certain big world or even a certain fairyland.
The Nether Palace never gets involved in the internal disputes of the major worlds.
They hide in the darkness and only engage in dark businesses such as selling intelligence and assassination.
Such a terrifying force naturally has no taboos in its actions.
The cost of asking the Nether Palace to carry out an assassination is extremely high, but once they are dispatched, very few people can resist their assassination.
Even if one has a powerful soul, he may not be able to escape.
Even, as long as you can afford the price, they can assassinate the leader of a top sect, the patriarch of one of the thirty-six upper clans, or even the great demon lords of the demon clan without error.
However, the cost of assassinating a powerful person of that level is also extremely staggering.
Even the Thirty-Six High Clans, aristocratic families that control vast wealth, may not be able to afford such a price.
But the price for assassinating the head of the family was unaffordable, but the price for assassinating a person in the first calamity Yuanshen realm, Gongshu Yu's mother gritted her teeth and could still barely afford it.
So within three days after she issued the bounty in the Nether Palace, Nangong Yuanwu was assassinated and almost died.
If not for an old ancestor of the Nangong family who happened to be nearby and took action in time.
I'm afraid he has already been completely destroyed, both physically and spiritually.
But even so, Nangong Yuanwu is said to have lost his soul and become a useless person.
As soon as the assassination happened, the entire Nangong family was furious.
An important member of the clan was assassinated with a bounty on his head in the Nether Palace. How could they tolerate such a thing?
If they don't fight back, I'm afraid that others will think that their Nangong family is weak and can be bullied.
So after the incident happened, the Nangong family immediately launched the strongest response.
Not only did he declare war directly on Gongshu Jia, he also cut off the heads of the two Yuanshen realm masters who had originally followed Gongshu Yu and sent them to Gongshu Jia.
As for Gongshu Jia, he was also troubled by this matter.
There has always been a tacit understanding among the thirty-six clans.
That is, no matter how fierce the competition is, they are not allowed to offer a reward to the Nether Palace for the assassination of important members of the other clan.
Because if you do so, it will easily lead to an irreparable situation.
So Gongshu Yu's mother's move directly turned their reasonableness into unreasonableness.
Not only did he lose two powerful Yuanshen realm masters, but he also fell into a very passive situation in terms of reputation.
But facing the attack from the Nangong family, they had to fight back.
Otherwise, it is very likely to dishearten the tribe members and reduce their cohesion. It is unclear whether they can maintain their status as one of the thirty-six upper tribes in the future.
In this way, the clash between the two aristocratic families became more and more intense.
Eventually, the Holy Alliance had to step in to mediate.
It is said that the heads of the two tribes and many elders are now negotiating in the Holy Alliance.
But no one knows what the final result will be for now.
When Lu Qing heard the news in the city, he was still very surprised.
He didn't expect that in this Tianyuan world, there existed a terrifying force like the Netherworld Palace hidden in the shadows.
His strength is so strong that even the demons and the righteous are completely helpless against him.
They also follow the path of assassination, such as the Qisha Tower and Wujian Tower in the hometown world.
Compared to this, it's just like a baby playing house and is totally not worth mentioning.
However, this also made Lu Qing feel a sense of crisis.
This Netherworld Palace is too terrifying. It is a terrifying force that spans many great worlds and even the fairyland.
Its profound background is hard to imagine.
It is hard to guarantee that there is some terrible secret technique that can predict his existence.
So he left the city as soon as possible.
Afterwards, he used the invisible and formless transformation method of the perfect golden elixir to completely change his body shape, aura, and even the fluctuations of his soul.
Finally, he changed several identities and traveled far away from the territory where the Nangong family was.
As for Nangong Yuanwu, although he sympathized with the other party's situation.
But I would not take the initiative to reveal my identity just because of temporary friendship.
After all, he didn't know whether that crazy woman Gongshujia had put a bounty on himself as well when she put a bounty on Nangong Yuanwu.
If there is, then his appearance at this time would be like fish served right at his doorstep.
It was because of these reasons that Lu Qing transformed himself into an ordinary casual cultivator, blended into a merchant caravan, and traveled slowly.
The convoy moved slowly and finally arrived at the end of the valley.
Before they officially went out, everyone could vaguely hear the sound of strong wind coming from the front.
It sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves, or the roar of monsters, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
"This is the Windy Plains?"
Standing at the exit of the valley, looking at the howling wind and the yellow sand all over the sky ahead.
Everyone's heart was trembling.
Even the faces of the several Jindan realm experts on the carriage changed slightly.
Under the power of heaven and earth, even if they have high cultivation, they will still be wary.
Lu Qing felt the howling wind in front of him and was a little amazed.
The Tianyuan world is truly magical. The strong wind blowing over the Gale Plain alone is extremely powerful.
If a weaker Jindan realm cultivator enters there rashly.
I'm afraid I can't bear it, my body will crack and blood will spill into the sky.
No wonder the Jindan realm masters on the carriage did not choose to fly, but instead followed the convoy.
It turned out that there was such a natural barrier blocking the way ahead.
"Everyone, please wait patiently. In half an hour at most, the strong wind will weaken, and then we can enter the Windy Plains."
In front of the convoy, the armored man was holding a Bagua-shaped magic weapon in his hand, seemingly calculating something.
After a while, he shouted to the people behind him.
Naturally, everyone had no objection to this.
Looking at the horrifying scene ahead, they didn't dare to go in now and could only wait patiently.
However, the armored man's prediction was still very accurate.
After an hour, the strong wind ahead slowly weakened.
After half an hour, the flying yellow sand gradually settled down.
The plain, where the scenery ten feet ahead was barely visible, began to become much clearer.
“Okay, everyone can enter, but this strong wind is only temporarily subsided.
It won't be long before it starts to shave again.
You must not run around everywhere, otherwise, once you get lost, it will be difficult to return to the team."
The armored man warned loudly.
Hearing this, the small caravans behind felt nervous.
I immediately perked up my alertness and reminded myself not to fall behind.
The convoy gradually entered the plain.
It is called a plain, but in fact it is more like a desert.
There was thick yellow sand on the ground, and it was up to people's ankles when they stepped on it.
If it weren't for the vaguely visible vegetation around, it would really look like a dead desert.
Fortunately, the carriages in the caravan are all engraved with magic circles and will not be easily submerged in the yellow sand.
Led by the armored man and others, the convoy slowly moved forward.
As the convoy slowly entered the depths of the Windy Plain, about two hours later, the wind began to blow around them.
And the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the yellow sand on the ground was flying again.
In the distance, one could even hear the faint roar of beasts.
The armored man at the front of the convoy suddenly changed his expression when he heard the beast's roar.
