Chapter 679 River
"What do you want to do?"

Outside the small bamboo house, Hua Xiaolan, who had finally arrived at the front line, widened her eyes and asked, "Go deep into the tiankeng?"

Fu Qingzhou scratched his head: "Yeah."

"Heh." Hua Xiaolan crossed her arms and sneered, "If you want to die, you can find another way. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "You seem very dissatisfied with me... Is it because I didn't kill Rong Yu?"

"...It has nothing to do with you."

Hua Xiaolan's expression dimmed slightly. She turned her head and looked towards the northern sky: "I just haven't been in a good mood lately."

Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized: "So you are missing your lover."

"I will kill you!" Hua Xiaolan turned her head and glared at him.

"Okay, now that we've dealt with this matter, let's go to Luoyi together. You'll be able to see Brother Hua soon." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile, "But for now, let's focus on dealing with the evil spirit."

"...It's not feasible to go deep into the tiankeng." Hua Xiaolan pursed her lips and said softly: "Elder Ma is dead, and there is no Sky Devouring Demon Body anymore - Rong Yu has not entered the cave heaven, and his realm is far from enough, so he can't lead anyone."

"So I say, don't be so hasty to refuse." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I have sorted out Rong Yu's confession just now. Please read it carefully first."

After saying that, he handed over Rong Yu's signed and sealed confession.

Yes, he made a special confession.

This is not a waste of time, but necessary preparation.

What if... what if, the evil spirits really cannot be stopped and are allowed to rush into the Central Plains, then the imperial court will definitely vent its anger on the Miao people.

Maybe it won’t happen when evil disasters are rife, but it will definitely happen as long as peace returns to the country.

Even if he could convince Emperor Zhao Yuan, the court was not ruled by the emperor alone, and such a big matter could not be glossed over.

The purpose of keeping a confession is to let Rong Yu take the blame if something really goes wrong in the future, and at the same time, to unceremoniously implicate Huijue and the lord's group.

In this way, even if the imperial court was dissatisfied with the Miao people at that time, it would have no direct excuse.

"You shouldn't take the blame."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at Hua Xiaolan and said, "How is it, have you finished reading it?"

"Yeah." Hua Xiaolan's expression was still gloomy: "You want to start with the Yinquan water?"

"good."

Fu Qingzhou nodded and said, "What do you think?"

"The corpse poison in the Yinquan water is not a big problem and can be cured." Hua Xiaolan frowned and said, "If we can follow the trail from the Yinquan water to the deepest part of the tiankeng, we can avoid the endless evil spirits in the tiankeng... But, what can we do there?"

She asked the most important question: "Even if we reach the deepest part of the tiankeng, what can we do?"

"do not know."

Fu Qingzhou said frankly: "But it will take you a long time to repair the formation, right?"

Hua Xiaolan's eyebrows twitched slightly.

She looked across the camp.

Many young disciples of Wan Du Mountain had already gathered there. They were busy carrying boxes and were going somewhere unknown.

"Now, Elder Yu is the only one left in the mountain."

Hua Xiaolan's tone was somewhat bleak: "In the past, if the formation was shaken or damaged, a few elders, together with the brothers, sisters, and uncles on the front line, could repair it within half a day... But now, it takes at least five days."

"Five days."

Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "Given the current level of madness of the demons, do you think the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain can hold out for five days?"

"..." Hua Xiaolan's face darkened slightly. After letting out a breath, she asked, "If we fail..."

"Hello, Hua Xiaolan."

Fu Qingzhou grinned: "Are you such a cautious person?"

Hua Xiaolan was stunned at first, but then she laughed out loud: "Yeah, isn't it just a matter of death? If it really doesn't work out, we'll all die anyway, so there's no point in arguing about who comes first."

Her eyes lit up: "It's always better to have a plan than no plan, so just do it!"

"That's it."

Fu Qingzhou nodded with satisfaction: "Also, call the head of Lingjing Sect, Lin."

"Master Lin?" Hua Xiaolan immediately understood: "You want to use his water control technique?"

"good."

Fu Qingzhou said seriously: "Since Yinquan Water is related to demons, maybe manipulating Yinquan Water can have some effect on them... Let's give it a try."

……

"No!" A tall and strong Miao man stood in front of Fu Qingzhou and Hua Xiaolan like an iron tower, his face as black as a piece of charcoal: "Master Lin is now one of the strongest fighters on the front line, you must not leave!"

"Uncle Lian..." Hua Xiaolan bit her lip and acted pitifully: "Just pass on a message for us, just a message..."

"Come on this!"

This uncle Lian showed no mercy in his tone: "Brother Hua appointed me as the general of the Miao army in Southern Xinjiang, so I am the only one who has the final say on matters here!"

Fu Qingzhou sighed helplessly.

On the way, Hua Xiaolan had already told him about this person, Lian Shanyao, a martial arts expert of the ninth realm, a general of the Miao army on the southern Xinjiang front, and the person in charge of the entire front line.

As for personality... She described it, and after Fu Qingzhou listened, a name immediately popped up in his mind.

Li Yunlong.

For such a person, even if you are a special envoy of Mingjian Pavilion, it is useless to use your power to suppress him.

"General Lian, is it?"

Fu Qingzhou took a step forward and said calmly, "I am Fu Qingzhou."

"I know you." Lian Shanyao looked over calmly: "I also know who you are - it's useless!"

"General Lian is overthinking."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and said, "I just wanted to ask, that is, Elder Rong, who recommended him to be an elder?"

Lian Shanyao's face, which was already as black as charcoal, instantly became several shades darker.

Hua Xiaolan almost laughed out loud.

Fu Qingzhou blinked... Rong Yu came from the Miao army on the front line. His cultivation of the ninth level of spiritual enlightenment proved that his status in the Miao army was definitely one of the best, and he was very likely just below Lian Shanyao.

Lian Shanyao said that he was the only one who had the final say in the Miao army.

So, who could recommend a guy who is most likely the second-in-command in the army to leave the Miao Army and return to Wandu Mountain to be an elder?

"Cough, cough, cough..."

When he asked this, Lian Shanyao suddenly started coughing, and the coughing became more and more severe. He waved his hands repeatedly while coughing, walked to the side, and then walked farther and farther away, as if he had forgotten about Fu Qingzhou and Hua Xiaolan.

"When it comes to evil schemes, you have more." Hua Xiaolan smiled at Fu Qingzhou.

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Okay, hurry up, we don't have time to take it slow."

Going further ahead is the war zone.

Of course, the two of them did not go to the areas where the fighting was most intense. The places they went were mainly places to temporarily accommodate the wounded and the dead.

The two men shuttled between the makeshift tents, each step taken with a heavy heart, the air filled with a complex smell of herbs and blood.

Fu Qingzhou's eyes swept across rows of busy figures. The Miao witch doctors, dressed in colorful costumes, were using all kinds of strange methods to try to remove the poisons and witchcraft from the wounded. They chanted complicated spells, wielded herbs and poisonous insects in their hands, fighting with death for every life.

On the ground around, one could even see the messy corpses of evil spirits.

Some evil spirits sneaked here and were killed. Their bodies were scattered randomly, which also revealed their madness and the cruelty of the front line.

Not far away, there was an even more crowded tent area, where a large number of soldiers who were suffering from poisoning gathered. The witch doctors of Wandu Mountain were almost overwhelmed. When the two passed by, they almost watched the groan of a Miao warrior become weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

"Ugh……"

Fu Qingzhou sighed deeply.

But when he looked at Hua Xiaolan, he unexpectedly found that there was no sadness or heaviness on her face.

She seemed to have guessed what Fu Qingzhou was thinking, and whispered, "I have seen this kind of scene since I was a child. Today it is just a little more serious than usual. Sighing and being sad will not help. Changing all this is the most important thing."

Fu Qingzhou's pupils narrowed slightly, and he said nothing more.

Soon, they found where Lin Wangshu was.

This Sect Leader Lin seemed to have just fought a great battle. His whole body was covered in blood, and no one knew whose blood it was. He was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. He sat on a big rock, staring seriously at the battle situation not far away. How could he look like a gentleman at all?

When they met again after parting at Lingjingmen, Hua Xiaolan didn't feel any sense of strangeness and went up to say hello.

Fu Qingzhou walked forward slowly...

The current situation was urgent, so he was not in a hurry to ask Qiluo Palace to borrow the zither.

If the evil spirit issue is not resolved, I may not live to see the Qiluo Palace.

Soon, the two of them explained the whole story.

"Yinquan? Deep in the tiankeng?"

After listening to Fu Qingzhou and Hua Xiaolan's explanation of their purpose, Lin Wangshu's pupils shrank slightly, and he murmured thoughtfully, "Styx?"
