Looking at the three leeches Bai Can who broke into the cave, Lin Sheng shook his head slightly. Lin Sheng also understood that it was probably him who Secluded Cultivation had caused quite a stir this time.
"Don't worry I'm fine."
Lin Sheng said with a smile.
But at this moment, in the eyes of the three leeches, he didn't look okay at all.
Because the Lin Sheng in front of him was not only pale, but also had blue and black lines on his exposed skin that had not completely dissipated. The aura emanating from his body was even more depressed, and he looked like he was seriously injured.
"We brought a lot of healing medicine when we came out this time. Do you want to..."
Bai Can asked hesitantly.
"No need, how long have I been Secluded Cultivation?"
Lin Sheng shook his head and asked.
"Uh... almost three days."
"Three days?"
Hearing this answer, Lin Sheng had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that he had stayed in the cave for so long.
No wonder the three of them couldn't sit still.
"The delay is not short. Let's pack up and get ready to leave."
At that moment, Lin Sheng gave the order, and the three of them immediately responded, turned around, left the cave and went down to make arrangements.
Half an hour later, the convoy at the foot of the mountain had passed through the forest.
In the car at the opposite end, Lin Sheng was sitting cross-legged, feeling the energy in his body.
In his perception, this extremely pure energy was somewhat similar to the energy produced by the Heavenly Snake Bone Changing secret method, after refining the mixed blood.
But the difference is that this energy can strengthen itself in a targeted manner according to one's own wishes. Unlike Heavenly Snake Bone Changing, the direction of improvement is different depending on the realm of breakthrough.
In comparison, he still prefers the energy after shedding Demonic Husk.
Although he could really feel the energy in his body at this moment, it was not much.
The reason is that it also takes time to shed Demonic Husk.
The energy of Demonic Husk is gradually digested over time.
Because you have decided to focus on your physical fitness, this energy in your body is constantly integrated into your body, slowly strengthening your body.
Now the amplification effects of Heaven-Bestowed Spirit Spring and Heavenly Net Divine Drink are much weaker than before Secluded Cultivation, and they are probably about to be exhausted.
"I wonder if I can improve my attributes a little bit more before it's completely exhausted?"
Lin Sheng said to himself.
At this time, his body was getting stronger every second, and he had to admit that this feeling made him quite obsessed.
Seven days later.
Across the rugged mountain road, a large city appeared in sight.
Dozens of dusty riders stood on the roadside, looking at the city in the distance.
"White Deer City is here. We have left the range of Northern Barrens and arrived at the location of Northern Lands."
Leech held the map in his hand, looked at the city in front of him, and said with a smile.
"We're finally here. After walking for so long, we're about to enter the city."
Bai Can shook his head with a smile on his face.
Almost everyone in their motorcade was in a good mood when they saw White Deer City in the distance.
During these days at Northern Barrens, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they basically traveled through the mountains or on small roads. They walked through countless places where no bird shit, so that for the sake of convenience, they finally abandoned the carriage and only left their mounts on their way.
Human beings are social creatures after all, so it is a bit awkward to be in the mountains and forests for long periods of time.
Except of course Lin Sheng.
No matter where he is, he is basically immersed in practice most of the time and does not pay attention to the situation in the outside world.
A Secluded Cultivation practice lasted only a few days, so in his opinion, time passed very quickly during this trip, and he did not waste much effort. On the contrary, he gained a lot.
"Sir, there is an organizational stronghold in White Deer City. Let's stay here for the time being."
Bai Can rode his horse to the team and said to Lin Sheng.
"Okay."
Lin Sheng opened his eyes, glanced at the so-called White Deer City and nodded in agreement.
He didn't care about these trivial matters. At this time, he was focusing most of his attention on himself.
After shedding Demonic Husk in 7 days, more and more energy accumulated in the body, and the efficiency of improving physical fitness was also much faster.
Although there are still no substantial changes, Lin Sheng can feel that his body seems to have faintly touched a certain bottleneck and is slowly trying to open it.
Soon, the dust was flying, and dozens of riders were already galloping towards the distant city.
Half an hour later.
With the arranged support, the group entered the city smoothly.
White Deer City, Feng Rui Pharmacy, backyard.
"White Deer City Head of the stronghold, Hidden Star Emissary Bai Shu has met several adults."
A short, fat, middle-aged man with the smell of herbs on his body bowed respectfully to Lin Sheng Leech and the others.
"Get up."
Lin Sheng looked at the man and spoke calmly.
Bone Transformation Fifth Layer's cultivation level is pretty good.
After all, on Southern Qi's side, Dark Star rarely moved around, and the number of people stationed there was even pitifully small. To have such a level of cultivation was beyond his expectation.
"First prepare a few guest rooms and food, and then present the specific situation of Southern Qi's stronghold."
"Yes, sir, Bai Shu has already arranged everything."
Bai Shu raised his head and glanced at Leech, Bai Can, and Jin Yang, then his eyes fell on Lin Sheng, with a bright smile on his face, and he responded respectfully.
It was obvious that the young man in front of him had the highest status among the group.
But after a stick of incense, food was ready in the side hall in the backyard of the medicine shop.
Lin Sheng looked at the information about Southern Qi's stronghold in his hand, his eyes quickly swept over it, and then he nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect Southern Qi to have a lot of people here, Hidden Star Emissary actually has ten people."
According to the intelligence, Dark Star has five strongholds in Southern Qi.
There are two Hidden Star Emissary stationed at each place. As for Gray Star Emissary, there are about ten people at each place, and the number of Star Disciple further down is even greater.
Although these people are not experts, many things do not require strong power to do them.
These strongholds have basically been in Southern Qi for 20 to 30 years and have established a foothold.
According to what Luo Yin means, if Southern Qi is used as a retreat, it is natural to plan carefully. It is best to stay away from the front line and also have local forces.
For example, Heavenly Net Sect is located at Western Border. Normal people would not choose it there.
He handed the information in his hand to Bai Can who was standing aside. Lin Sheng was just about to discuss specific matters with a few people.
Bai Shu had already hurried in, talking as he ran.
"Several adults... have organized messengers to come over there."
"Sir, let me go and take a look."
Leech immediately stood up and was already outside the hospital in a flash. He quickly returned with the mailbox in his hand.
"Sir, this is a message from Lord Luo Yin."
As he spoke, he handed the mailbox in his hand to Lin Sheng.
Open the bamboo tube and find two letters inside.
Lin Sheng glanced over it. One of the letters had his name written on it, while the other letter had the words Hu Yanji written on it. Different from the previous letters, these two letters each had a dark green leaf logo on them.
This dark green leaf represents Divine Lord Li.
Obviously these two letters were written by Master Jianyi.
He paused at the words Hu Yanji and opened his own letter directly.
[My disciple personally declares: Southern Qi East Sea Prefecture There are three islands in the peripheral Misty Sea Region, which can be used as escape routes for the organization; in addition, bring the second letter to Hu Yanji, and you can ask him to solve any problems.]
There is not much content in the letter, only a few sentences and a few location coordinates.
He handed the letter to Leech, his eyes fell on Bai Shu, and he asked.
"Do you know there is a Misty Sea Region outside East Sea Prefecture?"
"Reporting to your lord, this subordinate has not known about it, but there is a stronghold within the week of the Eastern Sea, so he should know about the Misty Sea Region that your lord mentioned."
Bai Shu immediately replied respectfully.
"What about Hu Yanji? Do you know this person?"
Hearing Hu Yanji's name, Bai Shu was shocked and said hesitantly.
"Is your Excellency referring to General Southern Qi Military Department General Hu Yanji?"
"General?" Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows.
Bai Can on the side said at this time.
"Young Master, this Hu Yanji is Southern Qi Military Department, a master second only to the military god Tang Chong. He has reached the level of Third Realm Grandmaster many years ago."
"Third Realm Grandmaster, no wonder..."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng nodded.
At this time, the three people with leeches had already read the letters individually, with looks of surprise on their faces.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Leech put down the letter and looked at Lin Sheng.
"Now that Master has sent us a message, what property has been purchased at Southern Qi? You, Leech, will be responsible for the island. You will first find its location based on the coordinates. As for the subsequent development, you will make arrangements."
"Okay." Leech responded simply.
"As for delivering the letter, I can just go." Lin Sheng quickly made arrangements.
Leech was at East Sea Prefecture's place before and is quite familiar with things at sea. It was a suitable choice for him to do this.
As for delivering the letter, judging from the tone of the letter, Divine Lord Li and General Southern Qi should have known each other, otherwise they would not have brought up the problem of looking for him.
As a member of Divine Lord, it was natural for him to deliver it in person.
Didn't stay long at White Deer City.
After just one night, Lin Sheng took Jin Yang Bai Can, Nong Yu and several invisible envoys away the next day, heading towards the front line where Military Department was.
As for Leech, he led several others straight to East Sea Prefecture.
Although nothing was revealed in this communication, Lin Sheng was still keenly aware that Dark Star's current situation in Northern Yan was probably even more severe than he imagined.
Maybe they are not optimistic about Southern Qi, otherwise they would not give up the retreat of Southern Qi and choose Deserted Island at sea.
As for the other letter to Hu Yanji, he did not open it to read it, but he could roughly guess the content. He probably wanted Southern Qi to put pressure on Northern Yan.
"I wonder what's going on in Northern Yan?"
Lin Sheng murmured in his heart.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was another three days.
Northern Yan.
Arid Sea Dao, Vast Sea City, City Lord's Residence.
Bang——
Xia Houqi held the red pill in his hand and sprinkled it into the pond in front of him.
The aroma emanating from the top-grade elixir immediately caused fish that were as long as fingers and resembled loaches but had long beards to scramble frantically out of the calm water surface of the pond.
At first glance, these loach-like sea fish are huddled together on the surface of the water, with as many as a hundred densely packed.
Although these sea fish are small in size, they exude a strong aura, and they are all high-level Spirit Beast.
Just from the look of his breath, he was extremely irritable and chaotic.
Stimulated by the elixirs, these sea fish fought desperately, and soon several elixirs were snatched away, but the fight did not end there.
Instead, the target is changed from the elixir to the small number of similar people who swallowed the elixir.
Within a dozen breaths, blood began to float in the pond.
Seeing this scene, Xia Houqi showed a smile on his face.
Red lines flashed on both sides of the cheeks, and a few long beards grew out between the cheeks and danced slowly.
He turned around and his eyes fell on several figures in the small courtyard.
"Black Water Dao and Great Capital City Lord don't care, but in Huanghai and Fulong, I want all Dark Star people to be spared. Do you understand?"
After hearing Xia Houqi's words, several figures in the courtyard had different expressions. Except for Xia Houqi, there were six people in the courtyard. The auras of these six people were hidden, but everyone gave people an unfathomable feeling. They were all masters of Grandmaster realm, and Three-Eyed Rakshasa Xiang Kong was among them.
"Lord Xiahou, that Green Robe Divine Lord has been in Fulong Dao, plus Luo Yin, Jade Faced Cicada and others, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to do this, especially the Green Robe divine army, who would have thought that it actually hides its strength..."
The one who spoke was Xiang Kong. He clasped his hands together, as if he thought of some bad memories, and his words were filled with embarrassment.
"Hmph, so what about the old immortal? Last time it was me, City Lord, who was careless. This time it's different. If I meet him again, I will definitely avenge my shame."
Xia Houqi snorted coldly, the red lines on both sides of his cheeks solidified, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty.
"Besides, he's just a good-for-nothing loser, so what's there to worry about!?"
Last time, he, Xiang Kong and another Grandmaster master suddenly attacked the three Luo Yin. Although they allowed the three to escape, they also severely injured them.
After that, Xiang Kong and another Grandmaster tracked the three people, and he stayed in Fulong Dao, waiting for the fish to enter the net.
Unexpectedly, what came was an unimaginable big fish.
He was also at the peak of the Third Realm, but he was no match for him. This situation made him shocked and angry, and in the end he had no choice but to leave unwillingly.
From the time he set foot on Martial Way to now, he has rarely lost a game in hundreds of years.
Unexpectedly, he lost to a madman, which was naturally unacceptable.
So simply absorb the preparations originally made for breaking through Supreme Grandmaster.
Although he cannot break through Supreme Grandmaster, his strength has improved a lot compared to before.
Of course this doesn't come without a cost.
He stroked the long beard swinging between his cheeks, his eyes as cold as knives.
"Divine Lord Li!! And the person who ruined my life, just wait, this City Lord will definitely pay back a hundredfold..."
*

Woo——
The dull sound of horns sounded from the city wall.
Soldiers with guns in heavy armor lined up to form a military formation.
The soldiers holding crossbows at the rear of the military formation had raised their crossbows and pointed them diagonally in the air.
In front of the military formation, the ferocious and violent Beast-Transformed Warrior rushed towards them like wild beasts.
"Shoot—"
The trumpet sounded, followed by a dull shout.
Amidst the rapid and intensive sound of breaking wind, arrows with red flames fell from the sky like fire rain.
