In a certain sentry post in the southeast of the Fangtai station, there were more than twenty monks outside the center at this moment, and they were carefully inspecting around under the leadership of a capable monk.

At this time, someone said: "Xuanzheng is here." ”

When everyone looked up, they saw a few rays of light speeding in the sky, and after a few breaths, they came closer, and then settled, Zhang Yu walked out from the inside, followed by Wan Ming and Shi Yue.

The capable monk hurriedly greeted him, and said respectfully, "Xuanzheng." ”

Zhang Yu glanced at the sentry and said, "I already know about the matter, what is the situation now?"

The monk said, "Yu Xuanzheng, we haven't found these six disciples yet, and there is no trace of them around, they seem to have disappeared out of thin air," he hesitated, "Maybe they left on their own." ”

Shi Yue said at this time: "Xuan Zheng, the sentry arrangement I and Wen Liang Daoyou have participated, everyone will not face in the same direction, and there is another person who is only responsible for guarding the glazed jade, even if someone in the wasteland uses the illusion technique, it is impossible to be calculated at the same time, but will be vigilant." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Let's go in and have a look." He immediately stepped into the sentry, and the crowd hastened to follow.

Once inside, he looked around.

In order to have a space to move and guard, the space of these sentinels on the wasteland is relatively large, almost seven or eight zhang long and wide, and six zhang high, a total of three layers, one-third of which is underground, and the rotating stone steps lean against the thick wall, transparent up and down, and all the things in it are unobstructed.

There were two glazed jades used for the transmission of mangguang, one on the top and one on the bottom, but they did not suffer any damage.

He glanced at it a few times, his eyes flashed slightly, and then six figures appeared in front of him as if they were as vague as smoke, each of them standing in their place, looking as usual.

But the change happened very quickly, very suddenly, the six people fell almost in no order, and then all of them floated off the ground, and then disappeared abruptly.

It happened in an instant, and everyone didn't even have time to react.

Zhang Yu thought for a while, came to the location of a few people and turned around, and then looked at the stone wall of the sentinel point, and those places where there were no traces suddenly appeared a lot of faint, spiritual light claw marks, the owner of the claw marks The body is blurred, but it is not big, it seems to be a creature climbing on all fours.

These can be seen coming in from the claw marks through the sentinel on the east side, and then out through the west opening, and extending deeper into the wasteland.

He came to the edge of the opening, his mind moved, the cicada sword on his body turned into light, and flew out in that direction, he said: "Shi Daoyou, find a few people to follow." ”

Shi Yue nodded, turned around and ordered, and led several monks to chase after the flying sword.

About half a moment later, a sword light flew in, Zhang Yu reached out and took it, put it into the scabbard, and then saw that Shi Yue and the others also returned.

Shi Yue arched his hand to him, and he said with a serious expression: "Xuanzheng, I found it." He gestured, and sent up the six skeletons that Xinguang had supported.

Everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring, the flesh and blood of the six skeletons were all reduced to nothing, but the clothes they carried were still kept, and the things on their bodies were also the same.

Shi Yue said: "They were buried three feet underground, very deep, but there were no traces of excavation around them, as if they were sent into it out of thin air." ”

Zhang Yu stared at it for a while before he said, "After verifying the identity, let their division commander's relatives and friends bring the corpse back." ”

After the order, he stayed at this sentry post for another half a summer before leaving for his return.

After returning to the station, Zhang Yu gave an order, summoned Wan Ming Dao people, explained the general situation, and said: "According to the current situation, the person who started should be a monk, and his person should be good at the art of change, and the Tao is definitely not low, if he blindly targets the sentry posts on our periphery, then it will be difficult for us to guard against it, so I decided to withdraw the sentinels thousands of miles away." ”

He said to a monk next to him who was in charge of keeping notes: "Inform Mr. Chang on my behalf that the establishment of the military base will be a little late. ”

The monk nodded in response.

Wan Ming Daoist thought for a while and said, "Xuanzheng, if the sentry is withdrawn, what if there is an abnormality in the frost continent?"

Zhang Yudao: "Don't worry about this matter, there is Cao Daoyou in front to observe the movements of Shuangzhou, there will be no problems, and then leave some creations outside the sentry, and let one or two Daoists be responsible for the inspection of Zhou Yan every day, that is, the people of Shuangzhou appear, then we can react." ”

Wan Ming Dao people also nodded, judging from the actions of the Tianji Academy's station, it was clear that the two prefectures were about to launch an attack on the Frost Continent, and it was obvious that the warriors in the north were going well.

Normally, Shuangzhou should be thinking about how to shrink and protect himself at this time, and it is unlikely that he will waste his strength on meaningless things.

Just when the two were discussing, the disciple came to report that it was Xingchuan Daoist who asked to see him.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Please come in." ”

After a while, Xingchuan Daoist walked in, he arched his hand at Zhang Yuyi, and said: "Xuanzheng, I also went to the sentry to inspect it, those methods are cruel and vicious, I dare to conclude that the person who shot is an evil cultivator, if you keep this generation and don't get rid of it, then I don't know how many disciples are damaged, I have come to ask Xuanzheng for life, let me behead the other generation!"

Zhang Yu didn't respond immediately, there have always been many evil cultivators in the wasteland, and he knows about it.

The cultivation method of this generation is nothing more than killing and plundering, but as long as it is not to slaughter the people of Tianxia, but only to target those spiritual creatures and gods, it can be regarded as somewhat useful.

After the unification of the Xuanfu, these evil cultivators also tried their best to avoid the place where the cultivators were, and never dared to show their heads in front of them, so although this generation was suspicious, he didn't think that this matter must have something to do with it.

Wan Ming Daoist said at this time: "Xingchuan Daoist, don't be impatient, this matter is not so simple. ”

Xingchuan Daoren said unceremoniously: "What?

Wan Ming Daodao: "Daoist friends say that it is an evil cultivator, but what is the purpose of this generation doing this? Is it just to provoke me and wait? so that I can wait to attack him?"

Xingchuan Daoren snorted, how could he not see these doubts, but in his opinion, how could he think about it so much, whether this matter was done by evil cultivators or not, it would never be wrong to behead this generation.

Wan Ming Daodao: "Xingchuan Daoyou, now that there is a big war in the north, we still need to guard against the Frost Continent at the moment, if someone deliberately provokes our generation to fight with the evil cultivators, then we must not be led by the nose like this." ”

As he spoke, another disciple walked in, handed over a document, and said, "Xuanzheng, the report was sent from below." ”

Zhang Yu took it and looked at it, put it down after a while, and said, "Two Taoist friends will go with me." ”

Half a summer later, the three of them walked into a hundred-zhang sinkhole located above the wasteland, and in the center was an altar, and around the altar, the bones of many spiritual beings were stacked.

When the monks around them saw them come in, they all came up to pay their respects.

Zhang Yudao: "When did you find out?"

The head monk said: "Back to Xuanzheng, in the past few days, I have always seen a monk flying from the top, because the direction of the flight is all from east to west, at first I thought it was a true cultivator in the domain, but later I found that this generation always goes to the same place, and we have some doubts.

In the middle of the night last year, I found blood rising in the wasteland, and after sending out the message, I came to inspect it first, and finally found this place. ”

Xingchuan Daoren took a few steps forward, swept his sleeves, and the ashes in the middle of the altar drifted out, and you could see that there was a groove below, and there was a layer of dark black traces inside.

He raised his head and said, "Xuanzheng, it's a blood sacrifice! This must be the work of those evil cultivators!"

Zhang Yu took a look, it was indeed a trace of the blood sacrifice, looking at the situation, this altar was only built in the past few days.

Most of the cultivation methods of evil cultivators are to devour living beings to make up for themselves, and blood sacrifice is the most cruel method, which is to extract the life essence of living beings, and then use these cultivation or sacrificial treasures.

The more creatures that come from the same source as the monk himself, the more suitable it is to be the introduction to the blood sacrifice, and the more the number, the greater the harvest.

There is no doubt that there must be the lives of Tianxia people in this.

When it comes to this kind of thing, he can't turn a blind eye.

He said: "The blood sacrifice violates the rules of the Xuanfu, before I ordered Si Wuzhang Daoyou to secretly investigate these evil cultivators' caves, Xingchuan Daoyou, you can do this with Si Daoyou, if you lack manpower, you can come and tell me." ”

Xingchuan Daoren arched his hand and said solemnly: "Yes, Xuanzheng." ”

After Zhang Yu explained, he looked forward for a look, and suddenly a bright starlight flickered here, and when he looked again, the bones of the entire altar, including those spiritual beings around him, were turned into a pile of fragments.

He told the rest of the monks to clean up and walked out of the sinkhole.

Wan Ming Daoist walked over at this moment and said: "Xuanzheng, this matter is very strange, there is a difference of more than 100 miles from what the cultivators have seen, even if there is sound and light at the time of the blood sacrifice, it is impossible to shine so far, not to mention that it is impossible for these evil cultivators not to cover up, when someone is deliberately leading them here." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, he could feel that the things here were not separate from what happened at the sentry, but that someone was deliberately guiding them and making them think in the direction of evil cultivation.

The other party's purpose is not clear, but he will not tie his hands and feet because of this, how to do it or how to do it, as long as he does not show too many flaws and does not give the other party a chance to take advantage of, then there is no hindrance.

And at this moment, above the zenith of the sinkhole, a red-eyed and white-skinned young man stood there, with a group embroidered peony pattern robe, looking like a cloud of flowers blooming, he stared down for a while, turned around, and disappeared again.
