Chapter 980 The dangerous move of the army
"Fu Qingzhou is trapped more than 200 miles away! Our army has surrounded him, but we can't catch or kill him! I am following the general's order to dispatch troops to surround and kill Fu Qingzhou!"

Hearing this voice, everyone in the cave was shocked.

"Brother, he..."

Tang Jiao's reaction was naturally the most intense. Her pupils shrank, and the sounds that came out of her throat were distorted and a little voiceless.

"Don't worry." Hua Xiaolan reacted the fastest and said in a deep voice, "This is not right."

"What's wrong?"

Tang Jiao immediately asked back.

Hua Xiaolan still held the copper coin sword and did not stand up. She just squinted her eyes and said slowly: "Have you ever seen a messenger with such strong true energy? Even the sound of thousands of ghosts crying outside the cave cannot suppress him... This man is an extremely powerful master."

"good……"

Elder Yu also responded: "Moreover, this person's internal energy is round, pure and straight. It is not a ghost cultivation method, but more like a Confucian method."

"...Let's wait and see." Master Xuanyi gave a temporary solution.

The three of them, the powerful cave-sky masters, were already struggling to hold on at this time, but with the arrival of the "messenger", the situation changed.

Outside the cave, the attention of the Xishuo army soldiers was naturally attracted by this man.

It wasn't just one person who came, but a group of people.

The leader was a young man wearing the uniform and armor of the Xishuo Army. He was a little fat, with a proud look on his face. He held a token in his hand and rode his horse in the front.

Behind him was a group of soldiers. They looked rustic and one of them had several teeth missing. They didn’t look like proper soldiers but more like civilian laborers.

But at the end of the team, there was an obviously mysterious person... This person was dressed in a black robe and had a pure white mask on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, young or old.

He Sanjiang in the team was muttering to himself.

He didn't know the slightly plump young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

He only knew that this young man was brought by the masked man.

Of course, the masked man seemed to have changed into a pure white mask in order to prevent himself from being exposed.

He Sanjiang and others were only told that the slightly plump young man's surname was Lin, and his name was Lin Jiao. They were to treat Lin Jiao as their superior in the Xishuo Army. Other than that, there was no further introduction.

They even had a strange feeling... that after the masked man brought Lin Jiao back, the tone and style of his speech seemed to have changed slightly.

But they didn't dare to delve deeper.

"You are?"

Seeing He Sanjiang and his men arrive, someone from the Xishuo army immediately came out to greet them.

This man was obviously also a general. He was tall and mighty, with a long breathing pattern. It was obvious at first glance that he was also a master.

Lin Jiao walked in front and threw the token over, while bowing: "Lin Jiao, deputy commander of the 7th Battalion of the Southern Route of the Xishuo Army, I am here under orders!"

The other general took the token, looked at it, and was slightly surprised: "So it's General Hua's subordinate?"

Lin Jiao smiled slightly.

"General of the Third Battalion of the Northern Route of the Xishuo Army, Zhong Feipeng." The general also cupped his hands, and then glanced at their group, a little puzzled: "Do you need so many people to deliver a message?"

Lin Jiao smiled and said, "We are not only here to report the news and mobilize troops, but also to help you capture people."

After saying that, he actually took out the second token from his arms.

When the second token was handed to Zhong Feipeng, the general's pupils shrank and his breathing stagnated!
"The Golden Order of the King of Xishuo! Anyone who sees this order is seeing the King in person!"

When he saw the token, Zhong Feipeng knelt down on one knee without hesitation!
He knelt down, and a large group of Xishuo army soldiers behind him were naturally shocked when they saw this, and they all knelt down.

Seeing this scene, He Sanjiang and his brothers were shocked.

what's the situation?
No buddy, what token did you just take out?
You have this token, but you still need us brothers? What do you want?

But soon, they knew.

"The people you are surrounding are very important."

Lin Jiao said calmly: "They have delayed you for too long... Now that Fu Qingzhou has appeared, you don't have to waste time here. The masters in the palace will take action. Everyone, just watch."

As he said this, the mysterious masked man in a black robe finally rode his horse slowly forward.

He Sanjiang and others understood.

This group of people are just there to keep them company.

A master from the palace and a deputy general. They came all the way here to report the news. It is impossible that there are only two of them. There must be at least a few people to help take care of their daily life and do the heavy and dirty work, right?
These soldiers, who are covered in dust and look like civilians, are just such people.

With them around, the identities of Lin Jiao and the masked man suddenly became reasonable and down-to-earth.

"My fellow ghost cultivators, please stop."

The masked man came to the front, passed Lin Jiao, and said lightly: "I'll do it."

His voice was also calm and steady, not loud, but it easily overwhelmed the noisy ghost howls. In the cave, Hua Xiaolan, who had been calm before, suddenly became excited when she heard this voice!

"Shadowless!"

She shuddered all over and stood up suddenly: "It's Wuying!"

"Ah?" Kua Ye collapsed to the side, with a strange look on his face: "Is this true? How long has it been since you last saw him? How could you recognize him just by hearing his voice?"

"Yes!" Hua Xiaolan said firmly.

"Not urgent."

Tang Jiao said softly: "I think this voice sounds a bit like Brother Hua, but... it's better to take a closer look."

Outside the cave, the masked man's words immediately drew a sneer.

"Oh?"

In the crowd, a nine-foot-tall but rather thin old man walked slowly towards them with his hands behind his back, sneering, "A master from the palace? I am also a master from Xishuo Palace, how come I have never seen you before?"

The masked man turned his face towards the thin old man and asked, "Who are you?"

"Easy to say."

The thin old man smiled proudly: "Ding Tianzong, from the Demon Cult!"

“So it’s you.” The masked man said calmly, “You’ve been a stray dog ​​for more than 20 years, and finally you relied on the Murong family’s skills and begged for mercy from the master to gain a little status... You’ve just broken through to the cave heaven at this age, your potential has been exhausted, and you’re nothing more than this.”

"you?!"

Ding Tianzong's face changed!
"Among your demon sects, only Chu Xianghong can be considered a figure. She is still young and has unlimited future achievements. She can help the lord share his worries."

The masked man's tone did not change at all: "As for you... have you ever been into the small building? Have you ever been to the third floor?"

Ding Tianzong's face became even uglier.

The masked man raised his head and looked past Ding Tianzong to the cave shrouded in black gauze not far away.

"Step aside."

he said calmly.

The moment the words fell, an extremely terrifying sword intent emanated from his body!

The sword intent does not dissipate, but points straight forward. This sword intent is not sharp and overbearing, but it has an unquestionable peaceful aura. It is not a surging wave, but a calm and boundless sea. It does not move, it is not startled, but you can't even think of resisting it!
Ding Tianzong was originally standing between the masked man and the cave entrance, but the moment the sword intent was emitted, it went straight through him.

"!!!"

Ding Tianzong's breathing suddenly stopped, his pupils dilated to the extreme, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

The masked man said nothing, but rode his horse slowly forward and passed by him calmly.

Naturally, everyone in the cave also sensed the sword intent.

But their reactions were different.

"This sword intent... is so deep and mysterious! Even the head sister may not be able to touch the essence of such a profound sword intent, right?"

Xuanyi Zhenren raised his eyebrows: "But..."

"But, this person's cultivation doesn't seem to be that high?"

Zhu Sha Zhenren smiled and took over the conversation, "I'm afraid his understanding of sword intent has already reached the pinnacle, but he is too young and his cultivation has not yet caught up... But his future achievements are limitless."

Hua Xiaolan laughed.

This sword intent was very unfamiliar, she had never felt it before.

Compared to the young man who practiced sword in the Black Mountain Islands of Jinghu Lake a few years ago, the sword intent emanating from outside the cave at this time was far more profound and mysterious.

But she knew that this person was him.

"He disguised himself as someone from the Xishuo Army, so he's here to capture us."

Hua Xiaolan let go of the copper coin sword on the ground, slowly stood up, and said confidently: "Adding to the news they reported before... Fu Qingzhou came, but was trapped? I believe that with Fu Qingzhou's ability, he will have no problem escaping."

"what do you mean……"

Tang Jiao's eyes lit up slightly: "Brother, do you want to attract troops for us?"

"Exactly."

Hua Xiaolan nodded: "And Wuying and the others took this opportunity to come and save us."

"I understand." Kua Ye, who was lying on the side, interrupted at the right time and said, "If we are captured, these Xishuo soldiers will join in the siege of Fu Qingzhou. We can pretend to be seriously injured and follow them all the way. When we get there..."

Everyone present smiled slightly, and there was no need to say anything else.

This is a risky move, but... it can be made.
