Zhou Yiqiao frowned as he looked at the jade pendant that was constantly vibrating in his hand.
Since the two of them traded the foundation-building spiritual object of golden spiritual power, there has been no movement on this jade pendant, and Zhou Yiqiao is a little unsure.
After some hesitation, he still put his spiritual consciousness into it and activated the message in the jade pendant.
Soon, the cold voice as always came from the jade pendant.
"The Yaori Sect has wanted you. Now all the disciples stationed at the border between Lu and Xuzhou have received the news so that they can take care of themselves."
After Qingji Meng finished speaking, the jade pendant instantly dimmed and there was no more sound.
After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao's face became extremely gloomy and his eyes flickered.
He has been careful since the Luoxia Mountains, but the Yaori Sect has not responded at all for more than half a year. Why is he suddenly wanted now?
He kept thinking about whether he had exposed any flaws, and after thinking about it, he had no clue.
Perhaps the best way is to ask Qing Jimeng directly through the jade pendant. As the head disciple of Wangtian Temple, he will be able to find out clearly easily.
But it was too dangerous to do so. Although Zhou Yiqiao didn't get along much with Qing Jimeng, he also knew that the other party was a monk who was pure and celibate. If she took the initiative to ask on his behalf, it would attract attention.
What's more, there is a high probability that he will conflict with Wangtianguan's disciples in the future. As a disciple of Wangtianguan, Qingjimeng would have done his best to inform him.
After careful consideration, Zhou Yiqiao decided to go to Gubian City to investigate the situation before making any plans.
After making up his mind, Zhou Yiqiao no longer hesitated and flew quickly towards the east.
One month later, he officially set foot on the territory of Gubian City.
The Chu State that Liang Guo and Zhou Yiqiao were heading to relied on two large mountain ranges, and Gubian City was located on the only passage between the two mountain ranges.
Due to the bad relationship between Liang and Chu, wars often broke out between the two countries.
But over the years, as the Liang Kingdom continued to weaken, while the Chu Kingdom continued to grow stronger, in order to maintain its territory, the Liang Kingdom's royal family turned to the disciple who went to the Zhongzhou Holy Sect to set up a ban on the two mountain ranges.
Even the powerful Nascent Soul could only travel between the two countries through Gubian City after that. The Liang Kingdom stationed troops in one place, and only then could it save its territory.
Zhou Yiqiao suppressed his cultivation to the middle stage of Qi refining and sneaked into Gubian City.
Gubian City is the large city closest to the border between the two countries. There is an endless stream of casual cultivators coming to Gubian City every day, so it does not seem out of place for him to show people this image.
After entering the city, Zhou Yiqiao first found an inn and settled down.
Gubian City is a border fortress. Because it is located at the crossroads between the two countries, wars break out all year round. Although this place is under the jurisdiction of the Liang Kingdom's royal family, no mortals except the Liang Kingdom's army live here.
The city is heavily guarded and it is easy to enter the city, but every time you leave the city, you have to wait for a fixed time every seven days.
During this period, Zhou Yiqiao stayed in the inn for the time being, waiting patiently to leave the city.
As night falls, the originally bustling street market gradually calms down, and various shops in the city also close their doors.
At this time, Zhou Yiqiao was standing at the window, looking into the distance with his eyes narrowed.
At this moment, there was deathly silence in Gubian City. The city gates were closed early, and even the patrolling guards were replaced by monks.
They were dressed in uniform clothes, with a badge with a sword pattern on their chests, and they looked like they should keep away from strangers. Each one of them had at least the seventh level of Qi Refining.
"With such a tight defense, even the foundation-building monks would have difficulty escaping."
Zhou Yiqiao whispered, his eyes flashing and his thoughts whirring.
"It seems we have to wait until it's time to leave the city in two days."
Zhou Yiqiao shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked into the house, sitting cross-legged on the bed. Although he was in a difficult situation, he still could not delay his practice.
Three days passed in this sitting.
When the morning bell rang, Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes, stretched out, and let out a long breath.
"Today is the time to leave the city..." Zhou Yiqiao murmured to himself, with a solemn look in his eyes.
A large number of monks were waiting to leave the city at the Gubian City Gate. A burly man with a murderous aura was arguing with the Yaori Sect disciples guarding the city gate.
There was a hint of ferocity in this man's rough face, and his eyes were full of violence and bloodthirsty, as if he were a ferocious beast that chose people to devour.
He was wearing black armor and carried a giant ax on his shoulder. The handle of the ax was carved with dragons and phoenixes. His early foundation-building cultivation was unabashedly displayed, causing the monks around him to take a few steps away.
The strong man stared at the four people at the city gate with his eyes wide open and said angrily.
"We are not disciples of your Yaori Sect, so why should we abide by the rules of your Yaori Sect and accept inspections."
"Everyone has some secrets. As the largest sect in the Liang Kingdom, the Yaori Sect is such a loose cultivator?"
Four inner disciples of the Yaori Sect wearing white robes stood in front of the city gate, looking arrogant.
"We have been ordered by the sect to patrol again to prevent evil spirits from taking advantage of this opportunity to escape from the Liang Kingdom."
"As a casual cultivator, it is not easy for you to reach the advanced level of foundation building. Don't make the mistake!"
An inner disciple said to the strong man in a bad tone, and then warned the other monks with a threatening look.
Most of the monks present were casual cultivators in the Qi refining stage. Naturally, these Yaori Sect disciples had enough confidence to dare to scold them so unscrupulously.
As expected, the reprimanded cultivators all remained silent and lined up obediently.
"Please put your hand on this delusion bead."
The Yaori Sect disciple thought he had shocked everyone, and ordered the strong man in front of him with great pride.
Seeing everyone shrinking back, the strong man cursed in a low voice and reached out to take the Powang Bead.
The four members of the Yaori Sect thought it was over now and took off their guard.
Soon enough, the strong man in the flash of lightning burst into laughter, and without saying a word, he swung the giant ax in his hand and chopped the unkind Yaori Sect disciple into two halves!
The Powan Pearl was glowing red at this time, revealing this person's true face.
"The bone-chewing demon Zhang Xiongde fled here after the rebellion in Luzhou. Today is your day of death!"
The remaining three disciples recognized this person and immediately sounded the alarm and shouted loudly.
"I originally wanted to stop and leave Liang Kingdom, but I didn't expect that your Yaori Sect was so bullying that you actually chased me here. Since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Zhang Xiongde licked his lips, his eyes were scarlet, and then he waved the giant ax in his hand and rushed towards the remaining three Yaori Sect disciples.
Although the three Yaori Sect disciples were shocked, two of them took out their spiritual weapons and resisted the strong man's attack. The other activated a transmission note and shouted to it.
"The bone-chewing demon causing trouble in Luzhou appears at the east gate of Gubian City, come to the rescue quickly!"
Thoughts were racing in Zhou Yiqiao's mind, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Suddenly, he flashed, stepped on the wind sword, and took advantage of the chaos to fly out of the city.
