A mountain forest near Wudu Forest is surrounded by tall trees over the years. A small piece of land has been artificially reclaimed into an open space. The wooden stakes left on the ground also exudes the fragrance of wood.

On the edge of the open space, two listless monks were chatting together.

"Brother Blood Hand, you said we were assigned to this wilderness, without any treasures and no spirit stone veins, for what is the purpose of? It has been more than ten days, and no one has paid attention to me. When will this day be considered a big deal?"

"Brother Tietou, you have always been well-informed. Why don't you even know the reason? I can't even touch it! Don't mention these bad things, drink and drink!"

Before he finished speaking, several black shadows rushed out of the woods on one side, raised their hands and several sword lights. The two of them were caught off guard and didn't even have the chance to issue a warning. They hit the vital point and fell to the ground.

This scene continued to happen in the woods. Several open and dark whistles arranged by the demon cultivator were removed one by one. A beam of fire suddenly rose outside the forest, and hundreds of monks appeared one after another, attacking the camp stationed in the middle of the clearing ground in the forest from different angles. The demon cultivator rushed to fight. As soon as he joined the battle, more than half of the demon cultivators lost their lives, leaving only dozens of people to form a battle circle and struggled.

Yi Xuan quickly walked to the besieged demon cultivator and asked coldly: "I am in peace with you and the demon cultivators. Why are you gathered in the Five Poison Forest? Is it possible to imagine my Wanjie Ridge Station?"

A tall and blood-filled demon cultivator smiled and said, "You hypocrites always like to win more and fight alone with your grandfather. Why bother to be verbally irritated!"

Song Kaifeng on the side replied without showing any weakness: "It is obvious that you want to siege the Wanjieling station with thousands of people, but now it's not a joke to say that we win with more than less!"

Yi Xuan was worried that the night was long and dreams would be too long, so he attracted the follow-up support from the demon cultivator. He stopped talking and shouted loudly: "I'll ask again, if anyone tells me the true intention of your gathering here, I will let him go and never break his promise! I'll wait for three breaths to consider, and kill him once the three breaths passes!" After saying that, he raised his right hand and stretched out his three fingers to count down.

"Three...two..."

Before Yi Xuan counted to the end, a demon cultivator cried loudly: "This official, I don't know why the superiors sent us here. When I came, I only said that I would stay here for a hundred days. Once the time passed, I could return to their respective garrisons. I don't know anything else!"

The tall demon cultivator slapped him in the face with his backhand and cursed loudly: "What are you crying? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense! We are here to wait for the gathering of troops to take down your Wanjie Ridge in one fell swoop, attack the city and capture the village, and finally fight to Zenan City, haha..." For a moment, most demon cultivators laughed like ghosts and wolves howling.

"It's stubborn!" Yi Xuan pressed his hand down, and the hundreds of monks behind him arrived, and the flying swords arrived at the same time. The besieged demon cultivator in the middle was immediately killed, and he didn't even have time to implement it when he was ready to self-destruct.

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Follow me back to the Wanjie Ridge Base immediately!" Yi Xuan threw out his flying sword and rushed directly into the sky. Because he was worried about the revenge of the demon cultivator, Yi Xuan and Ji Deshou had agreed to retreat immediately after he succeeded to the Wanjie Ridge Base before joining.

Soon, Ji Deshou also led his team to catch up with Yi Xuan's footsteps. Two hundred monks gathered together, and the escape light drew a meteor-like light in the night sky, which was particularly eye-catching. The demon cultivator who was originally worried about did not respond at all, and allowed Yi Xuan and others to return to the station safely.

Before dawn, Yi Xuan summoned Ba Hesong and Ouyang Fu and the other two discussed the next countermeasures.

"Two brothers, I will lead the crowd to kill more than 80 demon cultivators tonight. I only slightly injured a few people under my command, which is considered a victory. But I am more and more worried, and there is an indescribable weirdness everywhere. The runes I discovered were like this before, and the demon cultivators who sneaked tonight were like this, as if they were deliberately trying to die." Yi Xuan's face was solemn, without any joy of victory.

"When mentioning the rune, no monk in the resident knows it. I have sent the rune back to Zenan City and informed several lieutenants. I believe there will be an answer soon." Ouyang Fu also seemed to be worried.

Ba Hesong hurriedly comforted the two: "Two brothers, don't worry! As long as we work hard to ensure that the base is not lost, it would be better for the magic cultivator to deliver it to the door by himself. Let Yi Xuan save enough military achievements as soon as possible so as to advance our plan!"

Yi Xuan nodded and said, "Brother Ba said it! No matter how much you say, the demon cultivator suffered a great loss today. If you make up for two strongholds tomorrow, you can basically infer that the rune's theory is valid. You need to be more careful and report our discoveries to the lieutenants and ask them to decide!"

The three of them had no choice but to wait for news from the demon cultivator on the second day. Until noon, the information brought back by the scout who went to inquire surprised the three of them.

"Reported to the three commanders, the two demon cultivators who attacked last night were still empty and there were no reinforcements. Not only that, the subordinates also found something contrary to common sense: in the past, the demon cultivators were defeated in battle, and the dead monks were usually collected and buried in a unified manner, but this time they were all corpses in the wilderness. What's even more bizarre is that all the corpses were neatly placed in one place, stacked high, and I don't know what the purpose is."

The abnormal behavior of the demon cultivator made the three of them fall into deep thoughts, and they all felt puzzled. Although they did not know the true intention of the demon cultivator's layout, it would definitely have a deep meaning to mobilize the troops so much that they could only wait and see. Yi Xuan, who was originally planning to continue to go out to harass the demon cultivator, also temporarily stopped and sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the demon cultivator's movements every day, but he had no results for several days.

Finally, a message came from Zenan City, and someone had sent to assist Yi Xuan and others, but they did not mention the identity of the visitor, which made the three of them look at each other until the visitor appeared outside the base wearing a thick cloak.

"Stop the sound, wait for me to your camp, don't make a sound!" A familiar voice came from the cloak. The three of them were surprised that the person who came was not someone else, but Bie Wenxing, one of the four lieutenants in Zenan City. The three of them did not dare to neglect, disperse the guards around them and invite them into Bahesong's camp.

Bie Wenxing took off his thick hood and let out a long sigh: "But it makes me so bored. Tell me, how did you find this rune?"

Ba Hesong bowed and said, "This is discovered by Wei Duwei, or it is better to tell it by Wei Duwei himself." After that, he gently pushed Yi Xuan.

Yi Xuan nodded and said respectfully: "Report to the lieutenant..." he told him about the inadvertent discovery of the distribution of demon cultivators' strongholds with his command, and at the same time he briefly told him about the sneak attack on the demon cultivator at night.

"What, you have taken action without authorization and killed two demon cultivators in the strongholds? Which two are there? Tell me how to show me!" Unexpectedly, Bie Wenxing's face changed drastically, and he accused Yi Xuan with a sharp tone.
