A demon is still a demon. The five facial features of rat, snake, monkey, pig and toad have not yet been completely integrated with the five peaks of Wuzhi Mountain. Therefore, the Wutong Demon Dao can only maintain a state of tranquility for a very short period of time. While Yang Tianci, Wei Fengge, and Dong Shou seemed stunned but were trying to find out the reason, Wutong Yaodao said, "Three geniuses, if you want me to do something, please tell me. I can't stay in this state for too long." Yang Tianci instantly understood what Wutong Yaodao meant. That is, the task we take on now can be guaranteed to be completed 100%. Once the state is over, although you will try your best to complete it, there is a high probability that an accident will occur. I don’t know why this happens. Yang Tianci did not try to investigate. He came back to his senses and said seriously, "I want to ask you to do three things. First, find out the latest developments of the major forces in the Million Mountains through the Mountain Master Association; second, open up the highest authority of all radiation areas around the Five Fingers Mountain to us; third, try to contact some ghost cultivation forces. I want to learn about the relevant situation of the underground netherworld." "no problem."

Wutong agreed immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, Wutong's temperament changed. There is still calmness and peace, but it is no longer pure, but mixed with evil and chaos. The five faces of rat, snake, monkey, pig and snake flashed by. "Sorry, you three, I have to excuse myself." The Wutong demon Taoist bowed and disappeared from the top of the Middle Finger Peak. Dong Shou turned his head to look at Yang Tianci: "Why is Tao Tie willing to get involved with him? The court doesn't seem to object." "You ask me, who should I ask?" Yang Tianci yelled in annoyance, and then changed the subject, "Instead of spending your leisure time guessing riddles here, why not think more about how to better complete the mission of the Duke of England." Wei Fengge opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Dong Shou spoke first: "Zhu Cong sent me a message saying that they found an interesting place and asked me to go take a look. You two are free anyway, why don't you come with me? After you take a look, go find your teammates." "That's fine." Wei Fengge thought about it and agreed to Dong Shou's proposal. Yang Tianci said, "No need, just send me the location and I'll call my team members over." When Wei Fengge heard this, he immediately changed his mind. In this way, the Tianjiao team, led by Dong Shou, Yang Tianci and Wei Fengge, gathered together. The interesting place that Zhu Cong and his team discovered was the ruins of Mingyue Village. Three teams, twenty-six geniuses, eight people and one ghost follower, chose a secluded location near Mingyue Lake and gathered together for a meeting. The precautions have already been taken.

Confucianism, martial arts, Taoism, Buddhism, and witchcraft are all used, both in heaven and underground, to control all directions. And everyone is ready to fight and evacuate at any time. "Everyone is here. Tell me, what have you discovered?" Dong Shou looked around and said to Zhu Cong in a deep voice. Zhu Cong did not answer directly, but gave Tan Jinxuan a wink. Tan Jinxuan took a step forward, facing the gazes of the twenty-six geniuses, and said calmly without panic, "You all know that the eight of us and one ghost are followers of Mr. Tao Tie. In the ruins of this village and the bottom of this lake, we found fluctuations related to Mr. Tao." "What fluctuations? Explain clearly." Kun Dao Xuanhua, who was standing next to the masculine warrior Shan Yi, spoke before others spoke. Tan Jinxuan immediately replied: "It is similar to the divine power fluctuations of Mr. Tao's inner cultivation divine general Guan Shengdijun." "similar?" Yang Tianci grasped the key point, frowned and asked, "Why are they similar?" Tan Jinxuan replied: "It is exactly the same as the divine power of Guan Sheng Emperor, but it does not belong to Mr. Tao." After hearing this, the Taoist practitioners who had trained the Military God and other people who had a deep understanding of the Military God immediately guessed what was going on. No wonder Tan Jinxuan didn’t speak directly enough and had to beat around the bush. The three captains Yang Tianci, Wei Fengge and Dong Shou looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. Yang Tianci suggested: "Divide the troops into three groups. One group will be on guard outside, one group will explore the ruins of the village, and one group will explore the bottom of the lake." "agree." "agree." The three teams were immediately divided into groups. Most of the martial artists who are good at fighting but weak at detection are used as guards. Tao Tie's followers sent Tan Jinxuan and the middle-aged man among the Five Ghosts to lead two groups of geniuses in charge of exploration to the ruins of the village and the bottom of the lake respectively. Once everything is arranged, take action immediately. Dong Shou stayed in the guard team, while Yang Tianci and Wei Fengge each led an investigation team. After entering the ruins of the village, Tan Jinxuan led the way, leading Yang Tianci and others straight to the center of the village. This was originally where the ancestral tree was, but now it has become a big hole. Wisps of divine power, extremely faint and almost imperceptible, surged out from the void, fell into the big hole, and swirled around. Yang Tianci used a trick to capture a few strands of divine power and stored them in a thumb-sized white jade bottle for later careful study. Then, under the protection of the genius of the exploration team, Yang Tianci relaxed his mind and made the greatest possible perception.

Wei Fengge did the same when he went into the lake to investigate. Collect samples first and then conduct on-site research. This is to prevent certain factors during the research process from contaminating the samples and causing unnecessary trouble for future in-depth research. Yang Tianci and Wei Fengge’s minds captured the frequency of the fluctuations of the divine power, and they adjusted their spiritual consciousness bit by bit, trying to get in sync with it. After some time, the two of them almost simultaneously synchronized with the fluctuations of divine power and gained a piece of information from it. This is a coordinate. The two of them greeted each other spiritually and exited the synchronous state. "There's a harvest, let's go." The two exploration teams immediately evacuated the village ruins and the lake bottom and came to a temporary base in a hidden place by the lake. The temporary exploration team and guard team will be disbanded. Tianjiao and his followers return to squad mode. Dong Shou asked, "You all said you had some gains, what were they?" Yang Tianci took out a map, spread it out, projected it, and pointed with his hand: "Feng Ge, is the coordinate you sensed here?" "Ah." Wei Fengge nodded. Dong Shou and other geniuses looked over there. The place Yang Tianci pointed to was an underground cave occupied by dark goblins, within the radiation range of Mie Luo Mountain. "That's right, go and take a look." Yang Tianci said, put away the topographic map, and looked at Dong Shou, "There is news about Tao Tie, the one you've been thinking about. Do you want to go and see what's going on?" "go." Dong Shou said without hesitation, then frowned slightly, "But with so many of us moving together, it's easy to be exposed." Wei Fengge smiled and said, "Of course it's easy to be exposed if we walk on the ground, but we can go underground." "underground?" Dong Shou asked doubtfully, "You mean traveling between underground caves?" "Ah." Wei Fengge nodded and explained, "After research, our team has mastered the underground burrowing methods of the dark goblins. We can completely disguise ourselves as a team of dark goblins." As he spoke, Wei Fengge took out a jade slip, probed into his spiritual consciousness and magic power, and shared the method of escaping underground with everyone. The geniuses are all outstanding and can learn things quickly. The eight men and one ghost follower did not lose face either. So the three teams reached a consensus, disguised themselves as dark goblins, escaped underground, and rushed to the underground cave.

The intensity of the war between the dark goblins and the millions of mountain people and alien species is increasing. Everywhere there were graceful fairies moving underground, occasionally bursting into the ground to launch surprise attacks. Millions of mountain humans and alien species were not only fighting on the ground. From time to time, some evil cultivators, ghost cultivators, and alien species would break into the underground and massacre the dark goblins. The three teams of geniuses disguised themselves and sneaked along the way. Avoid trouble if you can. If you can't avoid it, just start fighting. All the evil cultivators, ghost cultivators and aliens who block the way will be killed. He was quite helpful to the dark goblin. "Have you noticed? There are only evil cultivators and ghost cultivators, but no demons or monsters." When they were approaching the underground cave, Chu Yingying, who was surrounded by other followers, suddenly spoke to the other seven people and the ghost. "Ah." Mo Yuhan responded softly, "Indeed, no trace of demons or monsters were found." Tan Jinxuan seemed to be thinking about something. There are four major camps in the Million Mountains: humans, aliens, dark goblins and the will of the Million Mountains. Aliens are demons, monsters, and monsters. Although there were clearly some strange creatures that suddenly entered the underground, Chu Yingying and Mo Yuhan said that they did not find any monsters or demons, meaning that there were no pure monsters or demons. Those who came were half-demons and half-devils. Either it is half demon and half ghost, or half demon and half monster. Although he knew that the geniuses should have noticed this, to be on the safe side, Tan Jinxuan still told the captain Dong Shou about Chu Yingying's discovery and his own suspicions. After listening to Tan Jinxuan's words, especially his doubt about "whether there are no or very few pure monsters and demons in the Baiwan Mountains", Dong Shou expressed his concern. And communicated with other geniuses. Everyone was wary of this matter, but instead of immediately discussing the cause, they became alert. Because we have arrived at the underground cave. The increasingly fierce war caused the dark goblins and monsters in this underground cave to be drawn out in large numbers. The geniuses' infiltration process was very smooth, without triggering any traps or attracting any attention. The three teams of geniuses, forming a V-shaped formation with one in front and two behind, successfully reached the bottom of the underground cave and found the Styx slabs worshipped by the dark goblins. This is the source of the fluctuations of divine power from the ruins of Mingyue Village and Mingyue Lake, but it is even fainter and more obscure than those two places, almost non-existent. Yang Tianci and Wei Fengge picked up the breath of divine power fluctuations and were able to barely sense it. Through the Styx slab, their gazes fell into the underworld, barely staying there for a moment.

This moment is a moment on the ground. After the time flow rate was magnified to 1:60, the two of them could see the scene clearly and knew all the information they needed to know. The restriction at the bottom of the underground cave was also triggered. "withdraw!" Dong Shou gave the order without hesitation. He held one in each hand and pulled out Yang Tianci and Wei Fengge, who were unable to wake up in time due to time disorder, and evacuated the underground cave in time under the cover of a group of geniuses who were well prepared. However, the dark fairy walked around the forbidden area and did not find any intruders, so he gave up the pursuit. This shows that the dark goblins/monsters do not have the upper hand in the war with the millions of mountain humans and aliens. The fighting is now going back and forth, firstly because they are brave and fearless, and secondly because the truly powerful outer ring forces are busy relocating and are too lazy to exert their full strength. The geniuses retreated to a safe place, but they did not relax even though their efforts were in vain. On the contrary, the geniuses have raised their level of vigilance. Whether on the ground or underground, after the Celestial Empire's army had withdrawn its front lines, they fought deep behind enemy lines with little backup. It would be bad if we were discovered and entangled by evil cultivators, ghost cultivators and alien creatures. It took a long time for Yang Tianci and Wei Fengge to come out of the shock of time disorder. call…… They both exhaled deeply, then looked at each other, seeing shock and admiration in each other's eyes. "What do you mean? What big thing did Tao Tie do again?" Dong Shou had been hanging out with these two for so long that he was already very familiar with their personalities. When he saw their appearance, he guessed what they were like. "Are you speaking or am I speaking?" Wei Fengge asked. "Let me tell you." Yang Tianci exhaled again, then looked at Dong Shou, other Tianjiao and Tao Tie's followers, and asked in a deep voice, "You all know the strategic goal of the Heavenly Dynasty's conquest of Baiwan Dashan this time." Dong Shou immediately shouted, "Of course we know. Not only do we know, but the Duke of Ying is spreading the news on purpose. Who in the army doesn't know about it? Even those evil cultivators, ghost cultivators, aliens, and even the dark goblins already know about it!" Yang Tianci ignored Dong Shou, who was in a state of emotional fluctuation for some reason, and continued, "Tao Tie occupied a place in the underworld, which corresponds to the village and lake we discovered earlier. He went to an unknown place, but he left behind a derived god general, who intercepted the dark goblins' belief in the Styx and used the power of this belief to rebuild that place." "Who is that god general? What is he building?" Dong Shou grasped the key point and started asking further questions. Yang Tianci replied: "The god general is Fengdu Langling Demon Marshal, and what is being built is Fengdu Xitai." Dong Shou fell silent after hearing this. The same is true for other geniuses.

While they were training in the army, Tao Tie, who had not been seen or heard from for over a month, actually did this secretly. Compared with their harassment behind enemy lines, Tao Tie's approach was truly in line with the Celestial Empire's strategic goals. After all, the Great Emperor of Subduing Demons in the Three Realms, Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun, was subordinate to the Northern Emperor in the upper realm, and was a capable assistant to the Northern Emperor Ziwei in governing Fengdu. If the West Platform of Fengdu could be built, and this god general who had separated from Tao Tie could be enshrined as an incarnation or clone of the true Fengdu Langling Mo Marshal, it would provide great help to the Heavenly Dynasty in achieving its strategic goal of conquering the millions of mountains. After a moment of silence, Dong Shou spoke in a hoarse voice: "So now we have two choices. One is to help this Fengdu Langling Demon Marshal to seize more faith and speed up the construction of Fengdu West Terrace. The other is to worship another general, such as Marshal Tianpeng or Emperor Zhenwu." As he spoke, Dong Shou turned his head and looked at Zhu Cong intently. The same is true for Yang Tianci, Wei Fengge and the other twenty-three geniuses. The one being worshipped is the Great Emperor Zhenwu. On the Wushi Sea, he even asked the Great Emperor Zhenwu to take action. Why should we seek the far away instead of the near? (End of this chapter)
