Chapter 168: The troops split into two groups and set off
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
The members of the Shadow Moon Sect split into two groups according to the plan.
A group of people, led by Gao Huohuo, prepared to go to the Demon Tribe;
The other part, led by Chen Wan'er, went straight to find Tang Xuan.
He planned to send someone to lead the way to the demon tribe.
As for Li Wen and Wang Lei, Gao Huohuo specifically explained everything to Hu Daji before leaving.
If the Shadow Moon Sect encounters any emergency, these two people can be notified at any time.
After all, they have signed a contract with me, so I can use them with confidence.
In addition, Gao Huohuo also made arrangements for the business with Wanbaolou.
After the previously prepared inventory is sold out, there will be a pause for a while.
After all, everyone has to travel far away, and no one can continue to refine magic weapons and elixirs.
During these three days, Gao Huohuo was extremely busy.
Not only did she arrange all affairs in an orderly manner, she also kept an eye on several of her senior brothers and sisters.
Urge them to refine a large number of pills, talismans, and make some formation plates.
Afterwards, she selectively distributed these items to the two teams.
The team they sent to the demon clan had relatively strong combat effectiveness.
However, the subsequent supply replenishment is a problem. Fortunately, Gao Huohuo has spiritual beads, which can solve the urgent problem at the critical moment.
Although the team heading towards the demon tribe was slightly inferior in combat effectiveness, fortunately they had sufficient reserves of talismans and elixirs.
Third Senior Sister has already discovered the ability to communicate with monsters, so there is no need to worry too much.
A gentle breeze blew in front of the mountain gate of the Shadow Moon Sect.
Bai He stood tall and straight on one side, while Hu Daji looked concerned and serious.
We stand here together to see off those who are about to go on a long journey.
Bai He's clear voice broke the silence first, and he shouted loudly:
"My dear uncles, the journey ahead is long and arduous. I hope you have a safe journey and everything goes well!"
"Bai He, please cultivate peacefully in the sect. When we return victorious, we will definitely bring you some new and interesting gifts!"
Gao Huohuo's senior brothers and sisters responded with a smile.
His eyes were full of doting, and he tried to use such warm promises to dispel the loss in Bai He's heart.
And in the mountains and forests not far away, a hidden figure quietly emerged.
It was their master Shen Cangxuan.
His eyes were deep as he stared quietly at the backs of his disciples.
A heart full of worry and reluctance is all expressed in this silent gaze, but I don't want to show it and add to the sadness.
"Big Brother, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, you must take good care of yourselves!"
"Third Junior Sister, we are in a foreign land, so you must be careful and cautious in everything you do!"
The exhortations from both sides echoed in unison, each voice filled with deep affection.
Finally, with these earnest exhortations, they each resolutely embarked on their own journey.
The figure gradually walked away and disappeared at the end of the world.
They flew on their swords for a long time, and the mountains and rivers beneath their feet retreated as fast as lightning, but there was still no sign of stopping.
Gao Huohuo looked up at Zhong Hanshang beside him, his eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, where exactly is this place that leads to the border of the Demon Clan?
How come we've been flying for so long and there's still no end in sight?"
When Zhong Hanshang heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he gestured for her to look forward.
Gao Huohuo looked into the distance as he was told, and what he saw was amazing.
Oh my god, why are we in Qingyun Sect again?
Could it be that during these three days, Zhong Hanshang and the others changed their minds and now want to capture her and bring her back to report?
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, and the aura around him became slightly tense.
Zhong Hanshang noticed her misunderstanding and quickly explained:
“Fellow Daoist Gao, please don’t misunderstand. The barrier leading to the Demon Realm is in our Qingyun Sect’s forbidden area.
Normally, only the sect leader and a few respected elders are qualified to set foot here.
Others can't even get close, let alone go to the demon clan from here."
Gao Huohuo frowned slightly, thinking to himself:
Is it possible that there is really no other way to go?
As someone who traveled from the modern era and had watched various ancient costume fantasy dramas, she did not believe that this was the only way to the demon clan.
Zhong Hanshang seemed to see through her thoughts and spoke again:
"Of course, there may be paths to the demonic world elsewhere, but I just don't know about them."
This news was revealed to him by his master because Gao Huohuo insisted on going to the demon clan.
The Master’s original words at that time still echo clearly in his ears:
"Han Shang, our Qingyun Sect has always regarded upholding justice and eliminating demons as its sacred mission since ancient times.
Therefore, this forbidden area is a key gateway between our human race and the demon race.
Only by firmly guarding this gate can we become the last solid line of defense for humanity."
This trip to the demon territory is of great significance to Zhong Hanshang.
On the one hand, he hoped to find an opportunity to practice in the dangerous land of the demons and improve his strength to a higher level;
On the other hand, he shoulders a heavy mission to thoroughly investigate the various secret plans of the demons in recent years.
After returning from Luoxia City, Zhong Hanshang worked day and night to read many ancient books and secret texts.
What shocked him was that many materials mentioned it vaguely.
The strange things happening in Luoxia City seem to be controlled by the demon world.
No matter what, he must uncover the mystery and find out the whole story.
Moreover, what the sect leader said to him three days ago.
When thinking about it carefully, there seems to be a deep meaning in it, and it is faintly revealed to be inextricably linked with the demons.
Seeing that they had arrived, Zhong Hanshang's expression changed. He turned around and signaled everyone traveling with him to follow closely.
He knew very well that the forbidden area of Qingyun Sect was usually heavily guarded, with layers of guards like an iron wall.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, you have a special identity.
If we want to enter the forbidden area now, we absolutely cannot force our way in openly and brazenly.
We have to plan and cleverly divert the guards' attention to find a good opportunity."
Zhong Hanshang lowered his voice and spoke solemnly.
When Gao Huohuo heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
I thought to myself: She is so familiar with this!
So he readily responded, “Okay, I can help you.
But let me be frank: if anything goes wrong during the operation, you will be solely responsible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lingchuan stepped forward and offered to lead the guards away.
"Big Brother, why bother with so much trouble? Just look at me."
Gao Huohuo raised the corner of his mouth, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Then he ordered Xiao Lingzi, "Quick, set up the illusion."
Then he summoned a cold light, patted his shoulder, and whispered:
"Han Guang, go and lure the guards into the illusion and end this quickly."
Han Guang's figure flashed and turned into a cold light that shot out.
In an instant, a sword light flashed across the night sky like a silk thread.
Immediately afterwards, two screams were heard, and the two guards were led into the depths of the illusion with stumbling steps.
However, contrary to expectations, there were still two guards who were as firm as nails, standing firmly in their positions.
"Lord Ziying, it's your turn now."
The purple shadow raised his chin slightly, and purple light rose up around him.
The light flowed, drawing out dazzling arcs of electricity in the air, and the crackling sound of thunder was deafening.
“I’ll go!”
Seeing this, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and groaned in his heart.
"Is she worried that the incident isn't serious enough to attract more guards?
I asked her to distract them, not to bring everyone here!"
As expected, Ziying's cool appearance attracted the attention of everyone around.
Before the two guards who were originally holding on could react, four more guards came running from all directions.
