Chapter 561 Looking for Answers
On the second day, the Wilderness Mountain Army selected more than 10,000 elite soldiers and marched north.
Although they were called "elite", in fact, the condition of these more than 10,000 demon soldiers was very poor. In the eyes of outsiders, such troops could not be called "elite" at all, but only a group of defeated soldiers.
However, this is understandable. After all, the Black Wind City was destroyed and the entire Wilderness Mountain Army had just suffered a major blow. It was already very good that the Wilderness Mountain Army could mobilize troops to march north at this time. How could we ask too much of them?
The purpose of these more than 10,000 demon soldiers to march north was naturally to enter Dakong Mountain.
However, Dakong Mountain has a dangerous terrain, and its unique rules of heaven have turned the border of the entire mountain range into a natural and desperate place, making it isolated from the world. Only by landing from a limited number of gaps can we safely enter the scope of Dakong Mountain.
The landing entrance chosen by the Wilderness Mountain Army is a checkpoint called "Tou Zha". This checkpoint is in the western part of Dakong Mountain and is under the control of the Tianhe Clan.
Therefore, if the Wilderness Mountain Army wants to enter Dakong Mountain, it must go north and borrow the Tianhe Clan.
The Tianhe clan had no objection to the request of the Desolate Mountain Army to borrow the road. After the news of the destruction of Black Wind City and the death of Lord Wu Luo came, all the members of the Tianhe Palace passed the resolution to form an alliance with the Desolate Mountain Army. Now that the Desolate Mountain Army is willing to march north and join the battle in Dakong Mountain, they naturally welcome it with both hands.
But what they didn't expect was that the Desolate Mountain Army suddenly stopped halfway and stood still for several days.
When the news was passed back to the Tianhe Palace, it immediately caused everyone to feel uneasy. They speculated whether the Desolate Mountain Army had any conspiracy? Would they turn against them...
The first young master Ying Chen also specifically asked his father, Lord Tianhe, about this situation.
After hearing this, Lord Tianhe couldn't help but sneer: "Conspiracy? What are they plotting? Are they going to reconcile with the Wu Luo clan, or go to the faraway place to join forces with the Juling clan? Do you think they have any other better options now?"
"But they suddenly stopped halfway and have been hesitant to move forward. This move is really intriguing..."
"There is nothing intriguing. In the final analysis, it's nothing more than a word 'profit'!"
A sharp light flashed in Lord Tianhe's eyes.
"Now the undercurrent in Dakong Mountain is surging and the situation is complicated. It is a major change that has not happened in a hundred years. The two human commanders of the Desolate Mountain Army are both shrewd people. How could they be willing to miss such a good opportunity?"
"However, they also know that they are weak. They want to have a share of the pie, but they don't want to take too many risks. Therefore, they stopped halfway and wanted to wait until the situation is clearer before deciding the next move."
"It is clear that they want to see our top clans fighting each other so that they can take advantage of the opportunity! I have to say that these two human commanders have a good plan!"
At the end of his speech, Lord Tianhe snorted heavily.
"Then what do you think we should do with them?" Lord Yingchen asked.
"Why do we have to do it?"
Lord Tianhe smiled coldly.
"They can have their own plans, but as long as the first gate is in our hands, it is up to us to let them enter Dakong Mountain. We can decide whether to let them go or not according to the specific situation in Dakong Mountain. The final decision is always in the hands of our Tianhe clan!"
The Tianhe Lord paused and continued:
"Compared to this matter, the arrangement of the Wu Luo clan is more difficult. Have you thought about how to break their ultimate killing formation?"
Ying Chen was silent for a moment before saying: "The great sage of the Wu Luo clan has been planning for this for a long time. We are too late to see the opportunity. It is impossible to completely avoid the power of the ultimate killing formation at this time. The only way now is to cut off the wrist of a hero!"
The Tianhe Lord had a cold face and said silently: "So, whose wrist should be cut off, have you thought about it?"
"My son, I have thought about it!" Ying Chen replied slowly, with a resolute determination in his eyes.
Tianhe Lord's expression eased slightly, and he smiled with relief: "Very good, at least the way you think about the problem is finally a qualified king's perspective..."
...
Unfortunately, even from the perspective of a king, he would never have thought that Lu Yu and Yang Chudie were not in the Huangshan Army at this time. The two had already crossed the mountains and quietly came to the north of Dakong Mountain, where the airway was generated.
"My Lord, Miss Yang! You are finally here!"
Tu Wuwang, who had been waiting at the entrance of the airway to observe the situation, saw the two people appear, and hurriedly greeted them and bowed.
"Are you the only one here?"
At this moment, a strange female voice suddenly came.
Tu Wuwang looked confused, wondering where the voice came from.
Then he saw a very charming and beautiful demon woman appearing from the shadow behind Lu Yu.
Tu Wuwang rubbed his eyes hard, and couldn't believe that the scene in front of him was real.
If it wasn’t because Lu Yu was right in front of him and this woman appeared from behind Lu Yu, he would have shouted that there was a ghost!
"This is Ye Weilan."
Lu Yu coughed dryly and introduced briefly.
Tu Wuwang was relieved.
Of course, when Lord Wu Luo attacked, he had already gone to Baiyang Ridge and was not in Black Wind City, but when he rushed back to Black Wind City afterwards, he also heard of this name and knew that she was the mysterious assassin who stabbed Lord Wu Luo to death.
I didn't expect that she had such magical skills. No wonder she could successfully assassinate a demon king.
"Ms. Weilan, hello..."
Tu Wuwang suppressed the panic in his heart and greeted Ye Weilan.
Ye Weilan nodded slightly at him, then looked around and said, "Are there only four of us participating in this operation?"
"No, to be precise, there are only three of us!" Lu Yu replied, "Old Tu is responsible for other tasks, so he won't go in with us?"
"Only three people?"
Ye Weilan was surprised, with a puzzled expression: "Since there are only three of us, why do we have to bring a troop and make a big fuss to pass through the territory of the Tianhe clan?"
In her opinion, with the strength of three people, they can come and go without a trace, so there is no need to bring unimportant people and waste a lot of time.
Lu Yu shrugged: "Because they all have another very important mission like Lao Tu..."
Without waiting for Ye Weilan to continue questioning, Lu Yu turned to Tu Wuwang and continued:
"We sneaked into Dakong Mountain through the airway this time, and it was full of dangers. We don't know what kind of situation we will encounter. Therefore, for the sake of safety, we must prepare a way to retreat in advance..."
"Among the people, you have the deepest foundation in Taoism. After we leave, you will meet with Xijiao and Lao Huang, and then set up a teleportation array along the way to serve as our retreat. "The fast passage at that time..."
Tu Wuwang was stunned when he heard this, and asked hesitantly: "I wonder how far the transmission channel should be built?"
Lu Yu's eyes were deep, and he replied: "Of course, the longer the better. If you have the ability, it would be best if you can build it all the way from here to Dulong Port... As for the materials needed to build the formation, Xijiao and Lao Huang have already prepared them!"
Tu Wuwang was stunned, and he didn't know what kind of situation would happen, which made Lu Yu make such a bad plan for the result of this trip...
"Yes, I understand!" Tu Wuwang replied in a deep voice.
Ye Weilan on the side couldn't help but condense his eyes slightly, and said: "After going around so much, the place we are going to this time is still Dakong Mountain... But how do we get in from here?"
It turned out that in order not to let the wind out, Lu Yu and Yang Chudie had never told her the real purpose of this trip, but only told her that it was a mysterious place.
It's not that they don't trust Ye Weilan, but there are too many tribesmen around Ye Weilan, and they are afraid that she will accidentally let it out. Therefore, for the sake of safety, they kept it a secret from her all the way until now.
At this time, hearing Ye Weilan's doubts, Lu Yu smiled without saying a word, looked at Yang Chudie, and then strode forward.
Ye Weilan also hurriedly followed.
Originally under the influence of the heavenly rules of Dakong Mountain, the unique force field formed made Dakong Mountain look gray. This peculiar scene was called "gray fog" by people in the demon spirit world. The gray fog would constantly generate a kind of outward repulsive force, which was equivalent to the power of the entire world. No matter how powerful the existence is, it cannot advance an inch unless you can defeat the power of heaven!
However, the existence that can defeat the power of heaven has long transcended this world, so how can it stay in this mortal world?
Ye Weilan was very curious, and kept guessing in his heart, what method these two humans would use to cross this gray fog barrier.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and the eyes suddenly became clear.
In the mist, a passage with white clouds stretched out from the gray fog, directly connected to the endless sky.
In the passage, white clouds rolled, and the momentum was overwhelming, just like a rolling river, going up without knowing where it came from, and going down without knowing where it returned...
"What is going on?"
Ye Weilan couldn't believe it, and said with a bit of difficulty.
"This is the passage for us to enter Dakong Mountain..."
Lu Yu looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, compared with the scene of the sky curtain flowing that he saw in the fourth area of the Tianyu battlefield, this scene can only be regarded as a small witch meeting a big witch, because he was not particularly shocked in his heart.
"This is an airway."
Seeing that Ye Weilan was still confused, Yang Chudie explained: "You can understand it this way. It is a channel used to ventilate Dakong Mountain, and we can just follow this channel directly into Dakong Mountain."
"Then, where does it lead to?" Ye Weilan said with a shocked face.
"Leading to Dakong Mountain..." Lu Yu turned around and glanced at her. He didn't say the second half of the sentence - isn't this an obvious thing?
Ye Weilan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she glared at Lu Yu unhappily, adding: "I mean, where exactly in Dakong Mountain does it lead to?"
Lu Yu couldn't help but smile lightly: "Well... we need to find the answer ourselves!"
After saying that, he jumped up and fell straight into the passage with rolling white clouds.
