Chapter two hundred and fifty-one, listening to the enemy
Since the battle of Xiaoxiangshan, the monks of the Demon Sect seemed to be resting and recuperating, without any news of attack; and the Yinwu Mountain station has not been replenished for manpower and has no spare energy to attack the Demon Sect, both sides have entered a short period of truce.
More than a month has passed since the military exercise. The hotly discussed battle formation competition at that time has returned to peace. The various military affairs at the garrison have returned to normal. The only change is that the subordinates of the chiefs have become competitive and will make an appointment to fight if there is a quarrel. They will also create a "Top Ten Battle Form" in addition to the military's "Top 100 Enemies List". In addition to the rankings they won in martial arts exercises, they will also accumulate based on the results of private battles. Fortunately, no casualties were caused, so the senior management of the garrison turned a blind eye and ignored them.
Yi Xuan's team showed outstanding strength in martial arts performances, and with the efforts of restraining his subordinates, there was no one coming to call the camp. The seven people were happy to be idle. Yi Xuan distributed all the spirit stone pills equally, urging everyone to meditate and practice Qi as soon as they had free time. After one month, Yi Xuan himself advanced from the sixth level of foundation building to the seventh level, and finally entered the late stage of foundation building cultivation. His subordinates Song Kaifeng and Di Tianyu also broke through their original cultivation, and others also made some progress.
Although the Demon Sect did not invade, Tai Puhe was not satisfied with the stalemate between the two sides. He kept sending small groups of people to inquire about the movements of the Demon Sect. In order to figure out the intentions of the Demon Sect monks behind the scenes, many teams at the resident were sent to lurk along Xiaoxiang Mountain for surveillance. For a month, the unassigned surveillance mission of Yi Xuan's team finally came to their turn.
Yi Xuan returned from Deng Chengfeng's camp and immediately summoned everyone to explain the task: "Everyone has repaired for one month, and his cultivation has improved. At present, the resident has distributed a task to explore the Demon Sect stronghold. This stronghold is located in the northwest of Xiaoxiang Mountain. We need to inquire about the number of demon cultivators and personnel transfers in this stronghold. We require us to return within ten days. Time is tight. We will give everyone a quarter of an hour to pack up their personal belongings and set off immediately!"
A quarter of an hour later, Yi Xuan had just led everyone away from the Yinwu Mountain camp. A sword light also soared into the sky from the station to a cliff at the junction of the immortals and demons. The sword light disappeared and a figure appeared. He said to the void not far away: "Fellow Taoist, since you have come, why not show up and see me?"
A fog of gray appeared in the void, and a monk wearing a hat and a gray robe appeared. He said hoarsely: "If you have anything, please tell me quickly. I should not stay here for a long time. If someone discovers it, you and I will not be able to afford to be guilty!"
The figure of the previous figure threw out a jade talisman and said, "The jade talisman is a monk whom the top of the mountain is asking to be hunted down. In the past few days, he will lead a team to appear on the patrol route indicated in the jade talisman and notify your master to intercept him. Be sure to leave him here! This person has some tricks and must arrange his skills. In addition, your master is not unfamiliar with him. Last time, he stopped your master, so he did not catch all the surrounding monks in one fell swoop!"
When the gray-robed monk heard about it, he found his spiritual sense through the jade talisman and frowned: "This man looks young and has such cultivation. He actually has the power to fight with the Jindan monk. I believe the master must have forgotten it for a long time, and he may be interested in going there in person."
The two of them passed by several feet apart and conspired for a while, before they turned into two rays of lights again and left...
Yi Xuan's hand was a standard map for use only when the monks on the resident went out to work. It was carved in a jade talisman and could only be opened by Yi Xuan's spiritual mark. If someone forced it to open it, it would immediately break and fail. Carefully comparing the terrain in front of him, Yi Xuan found that he had arrived at a place called Jinjingling, which was less than half a day away from the destination of this trip. Seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to set up a camp and wait for the next morning to go to the nearest of the Magic Gate stronghold.
"Kaifeng, quickly explore the range of several miles in a radius to see if there are any demon cultivators stationed. If you find it, you will immediately repay and do not make any decisions!" As soon as he calmed down, Yi Xuan sent the scout to investigate the terrain. At the same time, he handed the hidden formation received by the Military Recruitment Department to Liang Tian, and asked him to quickly arrange the formation. Finally, while everyone was unprepared, he quietly released the two incarnations that were very suitable for hiding in the mountains and forests, and let him serve as the first warning within a hundred feet of the area around the camp.
After a while, Song Kaifeng, who was neatly hands and feet, returned to the report: "There are no signs of demon cultivators around, nor are there any signs of high-level monsters appearing. As long as you hide the traces carefully, you will not be discovered or disturbed by others, you can rest assured to station and repair them."
With the assistance of Gong Liang and others, Liang Tian, who was standing by, soon completed the hidden formation. The place where the few people were stationed was a valley. After the formation was activated, a smog of mist rose out of thin air. The entire valley fog locked the clouds to hide the whereabouts of several people, but it was still clear from the inside of the formation.
All seven people were foundation-building monks. They didn't have to eat daily and allocated the order of rotation. Everyone returned to their temporary tents to restore their spiritual power. Since Yi Xuan came out of the station, he felt a little frightened and it was not convenient to tell others. He could only patrol the valley through two incarnations, in order to discover any adverse situations in advance, but he never found anything.
The next day, as soon as the sky was shining, Yi Xuan called everyone up, cleared all the traces of the temporary camp, and then stepped onto the flying sword and flew towards the destination. Before noon, he approached the Demon Sect stronghold. Several people fell down the sword light and found a thick shade of woods to hide their whereabouts.
He still sent a scout Song Kaifeng to investigate. After a while, he brought back the message: "Report to the leader, this stronghold is an ordinary stronghold of the Demon Sect, and there are about less than a hundred demon cultivators. There are three open and two secret whistles outside the stronghold. There are nothing unusual about the stronghold. I really don't know why I sent us to inquire!" While informing Yi Xuan of the collected information, Song Kaifeng expressed his doubts.
Yi Xuan felt a move in his heart when he heard this, and felt frightened again. His face changed drastically, and he felt something was wrong. Liang Tian, who was on the side, saw his abnormality and immediately asked, "What's wrong with it?"
Yi Xuan shook his head and drove the throbbing in his heart out of his mind, making a reluctant smile: "It's nothing wrong, but the news sent back by Kaifeng is indeed a bit strange. I was so immersed in my mind for a moment that I didn't react..." Before he finished speaking, a feeling of being peeped at me hit me again.
Yi Xuan did not dare to use his spiritual sense to sense the other party. He stepped forward and held Liang Tian's shoulder, wrote in his hand, and wrote in the other party's palm: "This trip is very strange, and there are so many dangers. We have been monitored here. We pretend to be looking for an opportunity to camp and try to retreat as much as possible. Once we leave the surveillance range, evacuate at full speed immediately. Don't tell others first, so as not to alarm the snake!"
