Go north along the ancient road from Yuzhou, cross the big river, bypass Liyang, and finally come to Yinshan.

The Devil's Cult arranged for its members to patrol several mountain passes. Although they don't know who will come, as long as someone with a Beili accent comes over, the members will inquire about it.

Seeing Xiao Luo and Li Fanbing entering the mountain pass, someone came up to greet them immediately.

"Where do you come from?"

Xiao Luo jumped off the horse and looked up at the mountains more than a dozen miles away. The glaciers to the south had already melted, and several streams of snow water flowed down along the mountains.

"We are from Tianzi City, and we want to see Sect Master Ye from the Heaven Beyond Heaven."

Ye Anshi inherited the position of leader of Demon Cult, and also the suzerain of Tianwaitian.

The two members of the tribe wrapped in white scarves looked at each other, and asked again: "What is the reason for the honored guest to ask to see the suzerain?"

"Please convey that my surname is Xiao and I live in Jietai Temple, so Sect Master Ye will know."

"Hold on."

One of the members went up the mountain to report that Xiao Luo and Li Fan were sitting on the rocks by the roadside to rest.

"Xiao Luo, are you not afraid of revealing your identity?"

This place belongs to the three-way zone. If the people in Beimang or Liyang know that the prince of Beili has arrived in Yinshan, he may come to assassinate him.

Moreover, the Demon Cult has complex components, and it is possible that several undercover agents from other dynasties appeared.

"It doesn't matter, when you come here, you are ready to fight for life and death at any time."

"Xiao Dao is scared."

"Then you go back?"

Li Fan curled his lips: "I'm too tired from running on the trail, I don't want to move."

After a stick of incense time, a feathered arrow shot down from the mountain and landed at the feet of the tribe who was guarding them.

The man picked up the feather arrow and unwrapped the note tied to the arrow. There was only one word "please" on it.

He stretched out his hand politely: "Guests, please go up the mountain by yourself, I will take care of your horses."

"Thank you."

Walking quickly along the mountain road, I found out at the top of the mountain that this mountain is just the outermost peak, and one mountain is connected to another, overlapping, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

At this time, another group of people wrapped in white scarves came out to guide them to take another road.

In this way, after turning over three mountains, I saw a house.

The house is built between the two mountains, as gentle as the Central Plains, with a style similar to that of the south of the Yangtze River. With towers, pavilions, green grass and red flowers, it looks like Gusu at first glance.

There is also a palace in the middle, with white walls and black tiles, carved beams and painted columns.

Ye Anshi stood in front of the palace with a smile.

"Your Highness, it's been a long time."

"How is the master?"

"I was worrying about Xueyun Sword Immortal, but I never thought it would be His Highness who came here."

"Xueyun Sword Immortal is Xiao Luo's master."

"The Confucian Sword Immortal?"

"Confucian Sword Immortal only teaches me Chinese."

Last year in Tianzi City, the two talked mostly about Buddhism, Ye Anshi knew that Xiao Luo's martial arts were not taught by Confucian Sword Immortal.

Ye Anshi greeted Li Fanban again, and the two of them finished talking about the etiquette before following him into the hall.

At this time, Xiao Luo had already seen clearly the couplets on both sides of the palace gate:
"This is not a spiritual mountain, but a sky beyond the sky."

"There is no living Buddha among them, and it is a teaching within a teaching."

Xiao Luo thought to himself, the sky beyond the sky, the teaching within the teaching, wants to isolate this place from the outside world.

The three entered the hall, and after sitting down for a while, two people came.

A hair white as snow, majestic, is Tianwaitian's white-haired fairy Zuo Dharma.

A purple-clothed and well-dressed man, serious in speech and smile, is the right protector of Tianwaitian, Ziyihou.

These two were the only ones who survived among the many elders who followed Ye Dingtian, and it was they who insisted on welcoming Ye Anshi back to the Demon Cult.

Baifaxian and Ziyihou are not only Ye Anshi's right-hand men, but also his elders in the teaching, and their words are very important.

Everyone met Li again.

Both Baifaxian and Ziyihou were surprised by Xiao Luo's coming.

"Xiao came here, and I hope the two seniors will keep it a secret."

Xiao Luo clasped his fists and said.

"That's natural."

What happened to Ye Hanyi was the news Baifaxian got, and he told in detail about Ye Hanyi's killing of the Mountain Master and Deputy Mountain Master.

"This matter has become a big issue now. Empress Beimang was furious and searched the entire grassland several times, but she couldn't find Xueyun Sword Immortal."

"Now there are rumors in the grasslands that Li Hanyi is an assassin sent by Beili to provoke a war between Beili and Beimang."

Xiao Luo frowned.

"Is there really no news about Li Hanyi?"

Baifaxian shook his head: "There is no news at all. Now the Rouran cavalry is still searching around. I heard that the three peak masters of Tibing Mountain have been imprisoned by the empress. The rest dare not prevaricate."

Zi Yihou admired: "Sword Immortal Xueyun not only retreated safely among the 1 Rouran iron cavalry, but also beheaded more than [-] horses, worthy of the name of Sword Immortal."

Xiao Luo asked: "Is she injured?"

"Yes, her blood was left on the ground, but I haven't seen her."

The other she was naturally referring to Li Hanyi's corpse.

Xiao Luo felt a little relieved, and asked again: "May I ask Guardian Zuo, what places have the friends of the Devil's Cult looked for? Are there any places that have not been looked for?"

Baifaxian took out the map and introduced it to Xiao Luo carefully.

"There are thirteen prefectures in Beimang. This is Longyao prefecture connected to Yinshan Mountain. This is Rouran Mountain Range. Tibing Mountain is here..."

After Baifaxian finished his introduction, Xiao Luo asked: "Did Li Hanyi enter Rouran Mountains from Wazhu City?"

"Well, if she wants to go to Qijian Yuefu, she must pass through Rouxuan Town."

Xiao Luo's eyes crossed the Rouran Mountains, and then the Chess Sword Yuefu, and landed in Yuchan Prefecture.

There is the place where the king's tent of Beimang is located.

Looking back, looking down, it was Beiliang.

To enter Beiliang from Beimang, one must enter Liuzhou in Gusai Prefecture, or enter Hutou City from Wazhucheng. These two places are extremely narrow passages. If you want to enter, you must fight fiercely.

But there is another passage, and that is Yinshan.

The Beimang cavalry went out of the Rouran Mountains, passed through the tile-built city, and then crossed the Yin Mountain, and then they could drive straight into Liyang, or enter the cloud along the Dahe River to attack Beili.

So Beimang has three choices: Beiliang, Liyang and Beili.

Li Hanyi's killing of the owner of Tibing Mountain may have made Beimang make up his mind and set the target of the attack as Beili.

Ye Anshi saw that he was silent for a long time, knowing that he was thinking about the affairs of the two armies, he sighed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, you have worked hard all the way, rest for a night first."

Bai Yixian put away the map and said to them, "I'll arrange accommodation."

"Well, thank you master and senior."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall: "Poor monk Baoshu, I heard that there are distinguished guests from the Central Plains, so I ask fellow Taoist Xuanmiao and head teacher Bayan to see him."

Xiao Luo was startled, there were still outsiders here.

Ye Anshi was afraid that he would be suspicious, and explained: "The presiding master of Baoshu is an eminent monk of Wanyan Temple in Beiliang, the other two are the mysterious female Taoist priest of Xiaoxi Tiandao Sect, and Bayan of Mielun of the Western Regions. Headmaster, all three of them are members of my teaching."

"But the three of the 33 small sects?"

"Exactly. They only went to Tianwaitian yesterday because of Beimang's recent actions. Wanyan Temple, Mielun and Xiaoxitian are all on the border. They are particularly nervous."

"So that's the case, then please let the master do as you please."

Seeing that he was not unhappy, Ye Anshi beckoned the three suzerains outside the hall to come in.

Xiao Luo looked at it intently, the one in front was a bald monk with a fat head and big ears, about fifty years old, with a string of huge ebony beads hanging on his chest.

He didn't have a weapon in his hand, but his palms were extremely generous.

Following the monk was an elderly Taoist nun, all gray, with gray hair, gray eyebrows, gray clothes, and even the gray whisk in her hand.

Although the face is old, it is very calm, and no temperament can be seen.

The last one was a fan from the Western Regions, wearing a red cap and a red and yellow cassock. His thin figure did not hide his majesty.

After the three of them came in, they first paid a visit to Ye Anshi, then turned around and took a few glances at Xiao Luo and Li Fan.

Baifaxian made introductions for everyone, mentioned Xiao Luo and Li Fan, and only said that they were envoys from Tianzi City in Beili, who came for Li Hanyi's affairs.

Monk Baoshu saw that there were two young people who came, Xiao Luo was handsome and Li Fan was handsome, they didn't look like top masters, so he couldn't help feeling underestimated.

He said loudly: "The women in the Central Plains really don't know the seriousness. They relied on their own force to kill the people in Beimang. This caused a lot of trouble, and they asked our demon sect to end it."

The white-haired fairy frowned and said, "Zen master be careful."

"Isn't it? Right now, the empress is furious, and Bei Mang dispatches troops to order horses to step on Yinshan Mountain. Our Demon Cult is the first to bear the brunt."

Baoshu still spoke loudly.

This is the truth, Baifaxian is not too good to stop him.

Ye Anshi said softly: "All dharmas. They don't talk about themselves. They don't talk about emptiness. They don't talk about sex."

Seeing that the suzerain spoke about him with Buddhist principles, Baoshu wanted to argue strongly, knowing that he was not as good as Ye Anshi, so he had to shut up.

Taoist Xuanmiao brushed the whisk, and Jishou asked, "You two envoys, what should the Central Plains do?"

Xiao Luo said lightly: "Save people."

Xuan Miao seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he asked: "What if it can be rescued or not? Please tell your envoy clearly, we will be able to plan countermeasures against the enemy."

"If we can be rescued, we will naturally return to the Central Plains. If we can't be rescued..."

Xiao Luo paused for a moment, and said decisively: "You don't need the Beimang horse to step on the Central Plains, my Beili soldiers will confine the wolf to the Xuxu and drink the horse to the desert."

"That would be a war between the two countries."

"This is Beili's determination, everyone can prepare first."

Xiao Luo made it clear that he wanted to tell these three people, as well as Ye Anshi, that Bei Li was not afraid of fighting, but Li Hanyi was bound to be saved.

Taoist Xuanmiao understood, she lowered her eyelids and stopped talking.

Headmaster Bayan was expressionless and didn't say a word.

Zi Yihou broke the deadlock and said with a smile: "The two envoys came from afar, and the three masters also came from afar, so we will have a talk at night."

Xiao Luo bowed slightly: "The guest does as he pleases."

In the evening, Tianwaitian hosted a banquet in honor of Xiao Luo, Li Fanban and the three masters.

The main dish is the unique snow pheasant in Yinshan Mountain. It is said that this kind of pheasant eats snow for a living. It grows fat in winter and will come out after the snow melts.

The snow chicken is served with a kind of mushroom from Yinshan Mountain, which is extremely delicious.

However, both Ye Anshi and Zen master Baoshu didn't eat meat. Ye Anshi picked up a few clean vegetables with chopsticks, and Zen master Baoshu ate barley cakes.

Although there is good wine, Master Bayan has a serious face, Xiao Luo and the two are not in the mood to drink.

During the banquet, Zen Master Baoshu and Taoist Xuanmiao kept asking about the situation in the Central Plains. Xiao Luo picked up some bustling and lively things such as Diaolouxiaozhu, Qianjintai, Xishi, etc., and did not mention anything about martial arts.

Baoshu and the others felt that Xiao Luo was a son of a powerful and powerful person.

When the banquet was over, Baoshu realized that Xiao Luo's words were in a cloud, except for the prosperity of Tianzi City, there was no useful information.

Ye Anshi couldn't help but laugh.

After the banquet was over, Baifaxian and Ziyihou sent everyone to different guest rooms.

Li Fan lay down on his back and lamented, "I'm so tired. Could it be that those three people are spies who kept asking questions."

"I think you are tired from eating, and you are eating alone."

"Xiaodao obviously tore a snow chicken leg for you."

Xiao Luo pulled him up from the bed: "Go and wash up quickly, and get a good night's sleep. We will leave Tianwaitian tomorrow."

"Ah? Isn't it here to wait for them to find out the accurate news?"

"The Rouran iron cavalry is moving around. It will be too late when they hear the news and then send it here."

"But...Xiao Dao is so tired, I want to go to sleep directly."

"Go take a shower!"

Li Fan got up reluctantly, and there was a bathtub in the guest room. It is said that a hot spring was imported, leading to each room.

"What about you?"

"I went out for a walk. The Demon Sect leads 33 small sects. These three sects are all close to Beimang. They must come here to discuss countermeasures."

"But they didn't say anything at dinner."

"It's because I didn't say anything during the dinner that I said it in private."

Li Fan shook his head and traveled thousands of miles. He was really sleepy, and he just wanted to wash off the dust on his body before going to sleep.

The night was hazy.

Shanyue is silent.

Xiao Luo stepped out of the guest room, made a note of the way down, and rushed to the front hall.

He remembered that there was a small flower hall outside the main hall, if it was a small-scale discussion, it should be chosen there.

Sure enough, candles were lit in the front hall.

Xiao Luo didn't approach, but crouched in the shadow of the tree, listening from a distance of tens of feet.

For a strong man in the Free and Unfettered Realm with a martial physique, he could hear movements within a radius of tens of miles, not to mention a mere few tens of feet.

At this time, the speaker's voice was low and serious, it was Bayan who taught: "Mielun is located in Liuzhou, if Beimang attacks Beiliang, Mielun will bear the brunt."

Then came Taoist Xuanmiao's voice: "The head teacher is very afraid. I haven't seen the attitude of the envoy from the Central Plains today. Beimang probably wants to fight Beili."

"Not necessarily. Beili has heavy troops stationed in Yunzhong and Yuyang, and Beili's national strength is strong. If Beimang wants to fight Beili, he will not choose Yunzhong to fight head-to-head."

Unexpectedly, Bayan, a barbarian, would know so much about the frontier fortress in Northern Li, Xiao Luo secretly became suspicious.

Baoshu became anxious: "Wanyan Temple is thirty miles outside Hutou City. Once Beimang chooses Hutou City to go south, what will happen to the thousands of monks in Wanyan Temple?"

Although Wanyan Temple's reputation in the Central Plains is not obvious, it is the first Buddhist holy place in the northwest area.

Hundreds of years of incense, how willing to destroy the war.

"Not to mention Wanyan Temple, Xiao Xitian also has thousands of ascetics, and please give permission from the suzerain, if you really want to fight, you have to give Xiao Xitian time to move."

Bayan said again: "Friend Xuanmiao is just joking, how can we relocate with hundreds of years of inheritance and thousands of celebrities?"

After the three of them finished speaking, a voice rang out: "Empress Beimang has sent a message, hoping that the Demon Cult will make way, and they will use the Yinshan Mountain."
