One day later.

Wolf Tail City.

Lu Qingshan circled a spot in the east corner on an enlarged map of Zhongling's western region.

"This is..." Mo Yan calmly moved his gaze to the point circled by Lu Qingshan, and then frowned slightly, "This is an earlier spirit beast garden of Huanling Sect, named

Qianli Garden.

But later, due to the inexplicable drying up of the local spiritual veins, the Thousand Carp Garden was abandoned."

The conditions required for raising spirit beasts are extremely harsh and complex.

In addition to strict requirements on geographical environment, food and feeding methods, the most important condition is aura.

Without sufficient spiritual energy, it will be difficult for spiritual beasts to grow smoothly.

Therefore, spirit beast gardens are generally built on spiritual veins.

It is normal for the spiritual beast park to be abandoned when the spiritual veins are exhausted, and there is no problem.

"In this way..." Lu Qingshan nodded thoughtfully, and then said softly: "The black-robed monk who escaped finally returned to this Thousand Carp Garden, and then never returned.

Never left."

"So, what Brother Qingshan means is that this Thousand Carp Garden is one of the demon clan's stations behind us?" Mo Yan said.

"If nothing else happens, it should be." A cold light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

Letting the tiger return to the mountain is just to find the tiger's den so that he can serve it.

"Then when will we set off?" Mo Yan pondered for a moment and then said: "The evacuation work of the fourteen cities in our area is not over yet..."

Their first priority is to ensure the smooth progress of the evacuation work.

And this Thousand Carp Garden is millions of miles away from them. Once they choose to go to Thousand Carp Garden to attack Huangchao, the fourteen cities will inevitably be left uninspected.

If demons attack the fourteen-city flying boats again at this time, wouldn't it be a big mistake?

Lu Qingshan also knows the importance of it, but...

"The mark I placed on the black-robed monk can only last three days."

The evacuation mission cannot be delayed, and the duration that can be marked is also limited.

This is the biggest problem.

"They traveled millions of miles to come here just to attack Jianping City. It is obvious that their purpose cannot be just to interfere with the evacuation of Jianping City, otherwise this move would be too meaningless."

"Moreover, those who attacked our human flying boat and interfered with the evacuation operations before were all low-level demon cultivators from the demon clan, but this time the black-robed monk is a Huanling Sect monk."

"The Huanling Sect monks have a high status among the demon clan. They should all be on the front line at this moment. How come some of the Huanling Sect demon cultivators are gathered in an abandoned spirit beast park a million miles away from the front line?

"

"There must be some other plan behind this matter that we don't know about..." Lu Qingshan carefully sorted it out.

Mo Yan nodded slightly and agreed.

"In this case, this matter cannot be delayed without delay," Lu Qingshan made a decisive decision, "I immediately summoned several groups of monks from other places to take over our inspection tasks, and then we went to Qianli Garden to find out what happened."

Lu Qingshan thought carefully. If he waited until the evacuation of the human race was completed before going to Qianliyuan to find out what was going on, it would be too late.

It's possible that the demons have already changed their base, and no one can be found by then. It's also possible that the demons' plan has been successfully completed, and it's a done deal, and it's too late to find the person.

This is a matter of great force and speed!

Given Lu Qingshan's current status, it is not a big deal to temporarily transfer one or two monks to take over his duties.

So a few hours later, the monks who took over their tasks arrived.

But what came was not one group of monks, but four groups.

Except for him, Lu Qingshan, the other monks who wanted to round up the patrol area of ​​the fourteen cities couldn't do it without three or four groups.

Now that the person who took over has arrived, and in Lu Qingshan's mind, the mark imprinted on the black-robed monk still has no intention of moving, without further ado, he and Mo Yan immediately set off for Qianli Garden.

.........

The location of Qianli Garden is extremely far away from Wolf Tail City. The black-robed monks were able to cross such a long distance in one day, obviously with the help of the teleportation array.

It was also impossible for Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan to rely on escape skills to travel, and most of the way they traveled had to use teleportation circles.

At this time, Zhongling's teleportation circle had already been requisitioned to transport materials and manpower to the front line. The monks could still use the teleportation circle to travel, but the teleportation cost was five times higher than usual.

One is to use a high enough price to persuade those monks who use the teleportation circle unnecessarily, leaving most of the transportation capacity for the frontline battlefield. The other is that all kinds of resources are extremely scarce during wartime, so they can earn a little from the teleportation circle.

It's also good to fill in the gaps a little bit.

After Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan came out of the teleportation array in Carp City, there was no teleportation array for the last part of the journey and they had to rely on their own feet.

During the flight, no one came to cause trouble.

Even during this period, there were many evil cultivators taking advantage of the chaos in the area of ​​Zhongling.

But whether it was the speed of Lu Qingshan's escape or the powerful aura revealed in it, there was no doubt that this was a tough challenge and people didn't dare to think too much about it.

A few hours later.

On the distant land, a sparkling river comes into view, boundless.

Qianliyuan, here we are.

At this point, any more arrogant flying is no longer appropriate.

No matter how sophisticated Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan's escape techniques are, they can never be silent.

Not to mention that the mark branded on the black-robed monk is nearby, which means that there may be a large number of demon cultivators hiding here.

Qianli Garden has been abandoned for a long time, its spiritual veins have dried up, and its spiritual abilities are extremely ordinary.

Dozens of buildings have fallen into ruins, but you can vaguely see the original atmosphere, if not even the floor tiles were lifted - in the early days of desolation, some scavengers who wanted to pick up cheap things thought that there might be some good things left here.

, dug this place thoroughly.

After all, for large sects like the Huanling Sect, things that they don't bother to take away are often priceless to casual cultivators.

Not to mention it, some casual cultivators did pick up some good things in Qianli Garden and made a small fortune.

As soon as the news came out, the casual cultivators were like a group of hungry dogs that smelled meat. They dug up the area three feet into the ground and scoured it clean.

If it weren't for the location shown by the Immortal Peach Blossom Mark, it would be hard for Lu Qingshan to imagine that this place would be a demon cultivator's station.

The two of them approached the long-abandoned spirit beast garden, and Lu Qingshan frowned.

Because the point shown by the mark was right in front of him, already overlapping with his location.

But the scene in front of me was clearly unobstructed. Except for a dozen dilapidated buildings used to house the disciples of the Huanling Sect who raised spiritual beasts, there was nothing left, not to mention people, not even a hair.

"Brother Lu, are you sure you are really here?" Mo Yan couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

"It's here." Lu Qingshan nodded, and at the same time let go of his consciousness and looked around.

He didn't dare to be careless. He spared no attention to every hall, wing, or even the lair built for monsters. He even sent his consciousness down to the ground to make sure there was no dark room underground.

When Mo Yan saw this, he also let go of his spiritual consciousness and investigated carefully.

After just a few hours, Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Nothing has been found, no traces of demons, no secret rooms, no secret formations, not even the slightest trace of anyone moving here." Mo Yan said.

Lu Qingshan sighed.

In fact, when he saw this place, he already had an expectation and guessed that this would be the result.

"Do we need to check the surrounding area again?" Mo Yan asked.

Lu Qingshan shook his head and said in a clear voice: "No need, since it was not discovered, then the mark I left was probably seen through by the Huanling monk and found a way to break it. This place is obviously just a cover."

Mo Yan remained silent, still thinking about other possibilities, but seeing that Lu Qingshan had already stood up and walked away with his sword, he gave up the search and could only follow silently.

He did not notice that before leaving, Lu Qingshan quietly left something behind.

To be precise, it's a sword.

Dragon bird.

"Yitian, I'll leave this place to you." Lu Qingshan whispered to Qin Yitian in his mind.

"Don't worry, young master." Qin Yitian said softly.

........

In an unknown and secret area of ​​Qianli Garden.

Here, there is a gathering of rich spiritual energy that is unimaginable to others.

Because the spiritual energy is too strong, the naturally gentle spiritual energy even becomes violent, forming storms that occasionally roll through, causing astonishing destructive power.

And in the center of this area, there is a stable area.

Within this area, dozens of Huanling Demon Cultivators gathered together, sensing the movements of the outside world with solemn expressions.

It wasn't until Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan who landed here gave up their search, got up and left, that they breathed a sigh of relief.
To be continued...
