Chapter 171 The troops are divided into two groups
boom! !
A steel arm burst from the ground, and Wenhou Lü Bu crawled out from countless pieces of the Breath of Earth, holding a proportionally enlarged control jade core in his hand.
Kaka…
Controlling the jade core to twist in your hand, the blank secret realm changes accordingly.
Mountains, rivers, waterfalls... appeared.
boom! !
A gatehouse rose from the ground. Wenhou Lü Bu walked into it and was met with nothingness and countless grids, making it impossible to distinguish directions.
"Looks like I'll have to find some time to study architecture."
The control of the jade core creates only the exterior; the interior remains a void grid space.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "System, can the time flow here be adjusted? Just make it so that one year here is about one hour outside, um... basically, it's faster than outside."
It should work, why don't you give it a try?
Lü Fengxian's lips twitched. "I think you're getting lazier and lazier..."
Immediately, he began to manipulate the control jade core, twisting it into a special shape. A series of control panels appeared before his eyes, including but not limited to time, layout, etc.
"Tsk tsk," Lü Fengxian curled her lip, "They can only adjust the time flow to 24 times? That's much more basic than I thought..."
A day here is equivalent to an hour outside, and 24 days only count as one day. So, it's not too useless; it barely meets expectations..."
With a flick of his wrist, the jade core created a throne, which he then sat upon.
"Secret Realm...Secret Realm...!?
"Doesn't that mean I can bring other people in, and even train troops without anyone knowing? Okay, let's do it!"
Immediately afterwards, Lü Fengxian began to recall the layout of her family's training ground, preparing to replicate it one-to-one.
However, the project was too large to undertake and made little progress overnight.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
In the main building of the East Courtyard, Huang Miaoyin was getting ready, while two Lü Fengxians were arm in arm.
Squeak...
At this moment, Lü Zhongying pushed the door open and came in.
"Grandpa, are you going to the Southern Wilderness trip too?" he asked anxiously. "Absolutely not! You must stay and oversee the Lü family. We're in a very precarious situation right now..."
"Old sir, you've misunderstood. I'm not the old master." A woman named Lü Fengxian removed her mask, revealing Xiahou Cao's true face. "This is a 'fishing' scheme..."
"I'll pretend to be the old man and accompany them out. That way, those restless forces will start to stir, and we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
That being said, Xiahou Cao's mission was not that, but to go to the Great Rift Valley Alliance to make contact with the demon race.
"Oh…"
Lu Zhongying nodded, then asked in confusion, "Young man, who are you? I've never seen you before."
“A good buddy of mine,” Lü Fengxian said casually.
Immediately afterwards, Xiahou Cao put on the mask again, replacing the face of 'Lü Fengxian'.
A moment later, Lü Zhongying was seen off.
"Dude, you go ahead first." Lü Fengxian patted him on the shoulder. "Make sure you get to the Great Rift Valley Alliance as soon as possible and finalize the construction of the armory."
"OJBK!"
He nodded, then rode the Emperor Steed, transforming into a streak of light and heading towards the Southern Wilderness.
"Miaomiao, let's go."
"Okay, let's meet at the Southern Wilderness Iron Cavalry's garrison first, and then take the Xishui boat to the Southern Wilderness."
……
Three days later, in the heart of the southern wilderness.
Beep, beep, beep…
A Xishui ship flew deeper into the water, its scanning radar never shut down.
"Did you find anything?"
"Not in this area either, let's move on to the next one..."
Inside the cabin, Huang Miaoyin frowned slightly. "We've been searching the entire area around the location where the princess went missing for three whole days, and we still haven't found anything..."
"Damn it!" Lü Fengxian rubbed her chin. "If it was an attack, how could there be no trace at all? Something's not right..."
Looking down at the scanned map of the area, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. The scanned map was covered with red crosses, indicating that the entire heart of the Southern Wilderness had been searched.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "This should only be the location of the initial encounter, not the actual location of the attack. We need to go deeper."
He paused, then added, "They're not idiots; they certainly wouldn't commit a crime right in front of their own homes..."
Immediately afterwards, Lü Fengxian circled several remote locations on the map.
"If my deduction is correct, we should be able to find something in these nooks and crannies, or at the very least, some clues..."
Of course, clues might exist in other locations as well, so we'll continue the search as planned, but we need to focus our attention on these specific areas.
"As you say." Huang Miaoyin nodded and gave the ship a new order, "Adjust course and head west at 8 o'clock..."
"Yes!"
The operation was very efficient; the ship quickly changed course.
call--
Meanwhile, in the airspace above Yong'an City...
The disguised Trapped Camp surrounded Taiyuan's Straw Hat Maiden Squad, and the atmosphere between the two sides became tense.
"Martial law is in effect in Yong'an City. Please stop here!" Lü Qingning shouted. "Otherwise, don't blame our army for being rude!"
The woman in the raincoat rolled her eyes and lied, "Sir, we are just passing through and will not enter Yong'an City. Please let us pass. We would be very grateful."
“In that case, please take a detour.” Lü Qingning showed no sign of backing down. “Yong’an City is under martial law, and so is the airspace. Please leave here immediately, or don’t blame our army for being rude.”
"Damn it..." the woman in the raincoat gritted her teeth. "Yong'an City is under martial law. I have to find another way, or I won't be able to complete the mission..."
She secretly transmitted her voice to A-San, "Disciple, we'll pretend to retreat, and then you can sneak into Yong'an City yourself. The task of executing the 'traitor' is up to you."
"Received, Master."
On the surface, the woman in the raincoat said, "Since it's martial law, we'll have to take a detour. Let's go, so as not to make things difficult for the city guards."
After saying that, the straw raincoat team left.
"Master, A-San has already entered the city."
Before long, Ah San used his skills to scale into Yong'an City without attracting anyone's attention, and began searching for his target in the shadows.
However, this was not the case. Her entry had already been recorded by the perception array, which was simply making an exception for her. It would be almost impossible for other Taiyuan personnel to sneak in.
At the same time, in a corner of Yong'an City...
A mysterious cloaked man walked into the unremarkable shop. Beneath the hood was a handsome yet serious young man's face.
"Guest, we are closed for inventory today." The store manager said, yawning.
The mysterious cloaked man removed his hood, revealing his true face, "Awakening from a dream, a mirage in the water, I tread upon countless stars in the heavens."
"Hmm!?" The shopkeeper was startled. "Do you have any token? Please show it."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhiyi revealed the [Stepping Star Gate] iron plaque.
Upon seeing the token, the shopkeeper's usual languid demeanor vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Please follow me."
