Wei Chengbin has been in a good mood for the past two days, because the boss is back. It's not just him, but everyone along the way can't help but have a smile on their face like sunshine. It's also strange to say that whether it's personal strength or commanding battles, the boss isn't the most powerful, but he is the backbone of everyone.

  In these days when the boss is away, everyone in Jinwu City is worried and anxious, as if they have lost their soul.

  Gongsun Cha actually knew that with Lord Gongsun around, nothing would happen in Golden Crow City, but his heart still involuntarily felt a layer of gloom. Fortunately, the boss had finally returned, and the dark clouds in his heart also dissipated. Everyone in this city believed that as long as the boss was around, any problem could be easily resolved.

  During this period, his alchemy skills improved rapidly, especially in the refinement of small objects. Even Master Jiwei would sometimes praise him a few words. In a short time, he had grown to like this place. The several alchemists he usually came into contact with, especially Masters Jiwei and Sun Bao, were all very skilled and took good care of him, never hesitating to offer guidance.

  The only one he didn't like to fight with was Bao Yi.

  That thin bamboo pole, knocking on the door is deadly, wanting to take some materials from his hand is exhausting.

  Even Sun Bao and Ji Wei didn't like to deal with him, this matter fell on his head. Helplessly, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go through with it. Every negotiation was a fierce battle!

  But today, Bao Yi was unexpectedly talkative. It seems that with the boss back, Xiao Zhu's mood is not bad either.

  In stark contrast to the jubilant atmosphere of Jinwu City, the faces of the people outside were ashen.

  "What? Lord Huang was murdered?" He Xiang's lips trembled and his hands and feet turned icy.

  "The news has spread." The monk who inquired about the news also had a hint of trembling in his voice: "Lord Huang and the others went to find a secret realm, but were ambushed and surrounded."

  "Impossible!" He Xiang exclaimed: "How could Lord Huang be so easily surrounded and killed? What about the others around him?"

  "Everyone... everyone was killed! More than twenty disciples in total..."

  With a thud, He Xiang's legs went limp and he fell into his chair, his face filled with despair. The elders present all had pale faces devoid of any blood color.

  Everyone understands that this time's matter is too big, so big that it can't be covered up anymore!

  The entire outer hall will have to face Lao Zu's wrath in time. No, the entire Xiaoyao Mountain will have to face Lao Zu's wrath!

  He Xiang suddenly came to and sprang up like he had grasped the last straw: "Who killed him? Who was it that killed him?"

  "Subordinates are investigating..."

  "What investigation?!" He Xiang's eyes were bloodshot, his anger uncontrollable: "These people won't let us live, we also won't let them live!" He took a few deep breaths, calming down his agitated emotions, and gradually becoming calm. He looked around at the elders who were deeply trapped in despair, with a hint of madness saying: "We only have one road left."

  Everyone looked up in dismay, they really couldn't think of what other way they could go.

  "We must find the murderer who killed Huang Daren and hand them over to Lao Zu for punishment, so as to beg for Lao Zu's forgiveness." He Xiang said in a low voice: "Whether everyone can survive this time depends on our actions this time, whether we can account for it!"

  Many people looked suspicious, this matter was too serious, they didn't believe that Lao Zu would spare them just because they caught the murderer.

  "This is our only chance!" He Xiang said bluntly, and then added with profound meaning: "Lao Zu always needs people to do things for him! As long as we can let Lao Zu see our ability, our hope of survival will be much greater."

  Everyone perked up their spirits, although they didn't believe it, but He Xiang was right, this was their only chance.

  They have nowhere to hide.

  The power of the outer hall is reassembled again, all the elders and all the cultivators are mobilized.

  He Xiang decided to use the most foolish method, going from door to door, he didn't believe that he couldn't find those murderers!

  The storm is brewing again in Xiaoyao Mountain!

  The foolish bird has returned, and Zu Mo will once again be fully engaged in building the city. With Huang Zuo Guang's death, the situation at Xiao Shan Jie is bound to become tense, and there isn't much time left for him. Fortunately, although Xiao Shan Jie is just a small border town, finding someone is still quite a troublesome task.

  But Zuo Mo deeply felt the urgency of time and built cities like a madman.

  Ptoo, Zuo Mo spat out the mud in his mouth, his entire body was covered in mud, only a pair of eyes were visible. Looking at the completed tunnel in front of him, he revealed a satisfied expression. With the tunnels between the other six mountain peaks completed, the remaining work was to set up the formation flags.

  The biggest gain from digging holes is that this thing is indeed a Zen practice, without some physical strength, it's absolutely impossible to persist. A skilled swordsman can cut off a mountain peak with one sword, but if you ask him to dig a hole, he'll be at a loss.

  Thinking of the great formation he had built, he felt as if his whole body was full of unspent energy, and he continued to work hard with his head down.

  Zuo Mo didn't sleep or rest, working for over ten days, all of the tunnels were finally completed.

  In these more than ten days, Xiaoyue's world has been turned upside down. Wai Tang is like a madman, searching for people everywhere, even posting wanted posters, among which the most famous one is Zheng Zhong of Jing Mai San Chong Tian, and there are not a few people who can recognize him, such as Liu Gui. The only one ranked first on the list is that dark-skinned, ugly-looking guy, but he's an unknown character. What's even more ridiculous is that there's also a bird on the list, a big grey bird.

  Is the outer hall crazy? Many people didn't take it seriously when they received this reward. But soon, the outer hall proved with their next actions that they were not joking.

  In just over ten days, five forces have been bloodily purged one after another.

  This massive team, however, still showed no signs of slowing down and continued to push forward. Nothing was left in their wake as they passed by.

  At this moment, Xiaoyao's mind was suddenly thrown into chaos.

  Many forces, seeing the situation was not good, immediately surrendered to Wai Tang and escaped disaster. Those who were unwilling to surrender to Wai Tang could only continue to retreat. With no resistance, Wai Tang advanced even faster.

  In just a few days, the power that had just defected to the outer hall was quickly named as one of the outer halls and stationed in a place rich in mineral resources.

  At this point, everyone understood what Wai Tang was up to.

  The outer hall wants to swallow the entire Xiaoshan boundary, they are no longer satisfied with grasping the throat of each major force, they need complete control.

  Gongsun Zhi hastily found Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo listened to Gong Sun Zan's words and after a moment of contemplation said: "We must first get rid of the Outer Hall."

  He immediately explained, "The number of people in the outer hall is really too many. If we don't thin them out a bit, it's a bit dangerous. I'm worried that Old Ancestor Mingxia might not be so arrogant? Our trap, no matter how powerful, can't withstand the human sea tactic. It's best if we can grind down the power of the outer hall to about the same level, then Old Ancestor Mingxia will have no choice but to come find us."

  Gongsun nodded, they only had one chance. If it was exposed, Ming Xiao Lao Zu would not be foolish enough to take the risk a second time.

  "Can we win?" Zuo Mo asked Gong Sun with some concern. The Vermilion Bird Camp now had over 700 people, and the two camps on either side had about 2,000 people, but Zuo Mo was deeply skeptical of their combat effectiveness. On the other hand, the Outer Hall's power was expanding rapidly, and the number of cultivators had already exceeded 10,000 people, making the disparity in strength between the two sides too great.

  Gongsun Zhi smiled shyly and said, "I can give it a try."

  Now that he understood his brother's idea, Gong Sun Chi quickly reacted. The safety of Jin Wu City no longer required him to worry, the 36 symbol war towers were enough to defend themselves. He then led the Zhu Que camp to move out, leaving the East and West camps to guard, mainly to operate the symbol war towers at that time.

  As for Weiying, Gong Sun Cha has never even gone to see her once.

  What can be expected from a group of slaves?

  Gongsun Zhi's actions were stealthy and silent, with the vast majority of people in Jincheng unaware.

  Zuo Mo also sensed the tense situation and immediately responded, issuing order after order, and unknowingly, the atmosphere in Jindou City became increasingly tense.

  Especially in the refining department, everyone can feel the tense atmosphere that permeates the air.

  In just a few days, a group of cultivators appeared not far from Jinwu City. In the past when Zhuque Camp was present, Gong Sun would arrange people to patrol and be on guard against anyone approaching Jinwu City. Now that Zhuque Camp had all gone out, naturally there was no one doing this task anymore.

  When the cultivators training in the tower saw the group of black dots in the distant sky, they immediately became extremely tense and hastily sent out a warning signal.

  The Golden Crow City is in a state of high alert!

  "Heavens! Is that a city over there?" The leading cultivator looked at the small city on the distant mountain peak in disbelief.

  It wasn't just him, everyone around him had their eyes wide open, staring blankly at the small town.

  Just then, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds like a sharp sword and landed on Jinwu City, instantly illuminating it with a faint glow.

  Faint golden light, scattered with the breath of the sun, even tens of miles away, still makes one's heart skip a beat.

  "It's a miracle! This is a miracle!" The cultivator muttered to himself.

  Everyone was deeply shocked by the Golden Crow City, their eyes couldn't bear to leave for even a moment, and they saw that they were like wandering souls, slowly flying forward.

  When they flew to a place ten miles away from the city, the small town was more vivid in their eyes. The sun-kissed city is integrated as one! They couldn't imagine what kind of person could build such a beautiful city!

  Just as they were subconsciously thinking of getting closer, the leading cultivator suddenly caught a whiff of a dangerous aura.

  Suddenly, the small town was lit up with clusters of silver light.

  Everyone stopped in their tracks at once.

  When the leading monk saw those watchtowers that rose above the city walls, a strange word flashed through his mind. He was suddenly frightened out of his wits and shouted hoarsely: "Fall back! Fall back quickly!"

  Each of the lit beacon towers looks like a silver light spot from afar.

  Silver light spots, one after another shining brightly.

  Thirty-six silver lights bathed in sunlight, the first practitioner retreated in a flurry, his face panicked, his eyes filled with fear.

  The Battle of Red Cliffs! That is the Battle of Red Cliffs!
