Chapter 881: Pushing the Boat Along the River (Part 2)
With the appearance of the Saint Lord of Yaochi, Xu Changqing took advantage of the situation and jumped out of Wen Yueyan and others' chessboard and became a leisurely bystander. Before Wen Yueyan opened the Demon Temple, he had nothing to do. Whether he came to Wufeng City or waited for Bai Rong's actions in Wufeng City, he did it casually, and these things were not particularly important to him. As for collecting information from various demon clans of Xuanyuantian, he just took advantage of the opportunity of the demon clan gathering all over the place. He had no plans in advance, and he had a temporary idea when he saw Zhao Yi. Compared to Xu Changqing's other clans, Zhu Yan's clan, who should be very busy, was free.
Xu Changqing is not a person who can be idle, and he will not let his clone be idle, especially Zhu Yan's clone, which has a great influence on the Immortal Palace. After leaving the city lord's mansion, Xu Changqing had already considered the next step and his eyes turned to the Tianchi Dragon Clan. He decided to go to Wanhuayuan to take a look, take the opportunity to intervene in, and weigh the strength of the Tianchi Dragon Clan.
As Zhao Yi guessed, the Tianchi Dragon Clan did send people to Wufeng City, but it is unknown whether those people negotiated with the Great Temple. In the past two days, when Xu Changqing was arresting the spies set up in Wufeng City, he retrieved information from a local snake in Wufeng City. This information means that a man and horse entered a demon family outside Wufeng City and never came out again. This man was the white lion clan disguised by Xu Changqing just now. I think Zhao Yi should know about this, so he mistakenly thought Xu Changqing was one of the members.
What exactly did that team of people come here for? Did they come for the matter of Wanhuayuan? It is unknown, and Xu Changqing did not intend to know either. He just wanted to borrow the team of people to get into it and then mingle in Wanhuayuan to see if there was any chance to explore the details of the Tianchi Dragon Clan.
After Xu Changqing left the gate of Wufeng City, he rushed straight towards the demon family where the Bailiu tribe members were. Those who followed them followed for a distance and left. In the end, only four people were still following them secretly.
Three of these four people have been following behind from the City Lord's Mansion. They should be the guards under Zhao Yi. The moment Xu Changqing entered the City Lord's Mansion, their divine thoughts remained on Xu Changqing, beware of his disadvantages to Zhao Yi. Now their tracking move should be assigned by Zhao Yi to confirm whether he is a member of the Baihu Lion Clan. As for the remaining one, it was a bit strange. His way of tracking was underground. When Xu Changqing moved, he determined the direction with his very weak magic power and drilled underground at an extremely fast speed. Even the power of the magic circle that had not been cleared before could not be stopped from passing underground. This kind of magical power could only be achieved in the surrounding areas of Wufeng City. This tribe is to take in the Golden Back Pangolin Clan of the Baihu Lion Clan.
The Golden Back Pangolin tribe is one of the many demon clans under the Great Temple. It joined the Great Temple very early, and it must have joined the Great Temple when the previous generations of the Great Temple Lords were in charge. However, when Chang Xiao was the day when he was the Great Temple, this clan, like most other demon clans under the Great Temple, was incompatible with Chang Xiao's ideas. In addition, he believed that Chang Xiao was not worthy of loyalty, so he changed to other forces. At that time, the Golden Back Pangolin tribe defected to a side branch of the Tianchi Dragon Clan, and had contact with the Tianchi Dragon Clan.
However, after Wen Yueyan took charge of the Great Temple, the Great Temple expanded rapidly, and the Golden Back Pangolin tribe returned to the Great Temple. However, after the Golden Back Pangolin tribe returned to the Great Temple, it still maintained a certain connection with the Tianchi Dragon Clan, and was also the leading demon clan of the Tianchi Dragon Clan in the Great Temple. Because Wen Yueyan needed the Golden Back Pangolin tribe to act as a secret line to contact the Tianchi Dragon Clan, and the Golden Back Pangolin tribe also knew what to do and what not to do, so she stayed safely in the hinterland of the Great Temple.
This golden-backed pangolin has a good cultivation level and is also very skillful in magical powers. While tracking Xu Changqing, he was not discovered by the three half-step strong guards on the ground. If it weren't for the pangolin demon's attempt to touch an unexpected residual magic array when he was drilling into the ground, causing a very subtle and abnormal earthquake. Maybe Xu Changqing wouldn't have found that there was a demon clan underground following him.
After Xu Changqing confirmed his identity, he knew very well why he was followed by the Golden Back Pangolin Demon Clan. It was thought that it was because of his meeting with Zhao Yi. Unlike Zhao Yi, the Golden Back Pangolin was very clear about who the messenger sent by the Tianchi Dragon Clan. Obviously, another lion-headed man suddenly appeared, and Zhao Yi was invited to meet him, which naturally made people feel suspicious.
Xu Changqing could feel the doubts of this golden-backed pangolin, especially after seeing him leaving the city, he went straight to Lingshan where the pangolin tribe was located. The doubts were clearly felt in his magical breath.
Xu Changqing did not rush to travel, but shuttled through the dense forest at the speed of the ordinary demon clan. Even so, after half an hour, he entered the base of the Golden Back Pangolin clan.
After Xu Changqing entered the Jinlong Pangolin tribe's resident area, the three Zhao Yi's guards stopped and looked at each other, as if they were waiting for other companions to make a decision. After all, they were not allowed to break into the other demon tribe's resident without authorization, and even if their identities were guards in the Great Temple, they could not escape the blame.
"What should I do? Follow in?" The women among the three guards were a little impatient with the support from their companions and asked first.
"No need!" Seeing someone speak, the oldest guard said in a deep voice: "Since he has entered the Goldenback Pangolin tribe, he must be one of those lion demons. We can go back and report it to the young master."
"Agree." The female guard also felt that it was better to have less than more things, so she nodded and agreed to the older guard's approach, but she saw another guard's face showing suspicion, as if she had a different opinion, so she asked, "What's wrong with you if you want to enforce me?"
"Don't you find it strange?" The guard who called for a call showed suspicion and said, "This lion demon seems to know that we are following him, but without any concealment. He led us to the base of the Golden Back Pangolin demon tribe along the way, as if..."
Before the elderly could finish their companions, they added directly: "It seems that he is deliberately showing that the White Lion Clan, or the Tianchi Dragon Clan behind him, has a very shallow relationship with the Golden Back Pangolin Demon Clan, right?"
"It's true that's the feeling." Ying nodded and said.
The female guard quickly understood the meaning of the two people and said, "You mean that the man is not from the Bailiu tribe. He is deliberately inducing us to think that the Tianchi Dragon Clan has taken action, and the Golden Back Pangolin has also defected to the Tianchi Dragon Clan?"
"There is this possibility." The young guard nodded, but was not completely sure.
"It's not our business anyway. No matter how many we guess, it may be useless," the elderly made a decision. "We just need to repay the things we see to the young master. As for how the young master thinks, it's up to the young master to decide."
The female guard nodded and said, "It's safe to do this, let's do it!"
"Well." Although such a decision was not what the young guard wanted, it was the safest. In addition, the other two had agreed to this decision, so he naturally didn't have the opportunity to object.
After the three of them made the decision, they did not stop any longer. They each drove the escape light and soared into the sky, and soon disappeared into the sky.
Just as the three of them left, a basin-sized pit suddenly appeared in the grass not far from where the three of them stopped. Then they saw a brown ball spewing out of the hole, drew a parabola in the air, and fell towards another pile of dead leaves. However, when the ball was about to land, it suddenly unfolded and grew rapidly, gradually changing from a beast to a short human.
I saw that although this monster turned into a human form, it still retained the original shape of the monster beast, such as his body covered with a layer of scale armor, his nose protruded outward, and a cluster of golden hairs in the shape of a monster on his back, etc. However, what attracted the most attention to this monster was not the golden hairs with the characteristics of the monster, but the pair of extremely huge beast claws. It seems that most of the monster's cultivation is on his sharp claws, and the claws are earthy yellow, looking very dirty, and they are as big as half of his body. If someone feels it carefully, he can find that these sharp claws contain an extremely strong earth spirit aura, and there is an inexplicable power mixed in the earth spirit aura. This may be the secret that he can walk freely underground?
This monster was the golden-backed pangolin who was following Xu Changqing. After Xu Changqing entered the area under the jurisdiction of the clan's resident, he stopped and did not continue to follow. Instead, he focused his attention on the three guards. Compared to Xu Changqing, a lion demon with unknown origin, the Grand Temple guards directly under Zhao Yi were more dangerous. Although the Golden-backed Pangolin tribe did not intend to change the junction, there were always some things in the clan that violated the rules of the Grand Temple. If these three Grand Temple guards were discovered, it would probably cause some trouble to the clan. If those three guards entered the tribe's resident, he would definitely appear and stop them, and even if there was a conflict. Fortunately, the three guards did not develop to the worst, and the three guards still followed the rules set between the Grand Temple and the various vassal demon tribes, without stepping over the line.
The golden-backed pangolin raised his head and sniffed it in the air with his pointed nose. Suddenly, he suddenly turned around as if he had discovered something. At the same time, his hands turned into ten sharp blades comparable to spiritual treasures and slashed behind him. However, his movements were only a piece of air in the end, but his movements were not a disaster. Instead, he jumped up along the rotation of his body, and his body instantly turned back to the shape of a monster, with his claws downward and falling towards the ground.
