Chapter 400 Return ([-]) Thanks to the book friend "Bijiang Yingyue" for the reward!

In the woods on the edge of the Phantom Swamp, a group of people are on alert.

This group of people are all burly men with sharp knives, and the sturdy aura of their bodies can be seen at a glance.

When they stand up straight as loose, their movements are uniform and steady.Although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, it could be seen that they were all regular soldiers who had been in the army for a long time.

At this time, these men were looking at the surrounding dense forest vigilantly. They stood around and guarded the girl who was sitting on the horseback drinking water and resting behind her.

The girl was born beautiful, even though she was wearing ordinary clothes, she could still feel her noble and extraordinary temperament in her demeanor.

Although she is a daughter, there is a stubbornness and firmness in the eyes of the girl that is not lost to the man.

In the dark forest, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps.

Those burly men suddenly became vigilant, their eyes were serious, and their hands were pressed on the handle of the knife.

The stunning girl also put down the kettle and stood up, looking in the direction of the sound of footsteps.

I saw a figure approaching quickly in the forest. The person who came was highly skilled in martial arts, and his movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any hindrance.

The girl seemed to have seen the identity of the visitor clearly at this time, she said to the men around her:
"Don't be nervous, it's Ji Huwei."

Hearing this, the surrounding men relaxed their vigilance slightly.

Soon, a man called Ji Huwei ran out of the forest and came in front of everyone.

He was a man in his late thirties, dressed in strong clothes, with a short knife on his belt and a crossbow on his back, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

Ji Huwei came to the girl and knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully:
"His Royal Highness, we have already found out. Our scouts were killed by a group of weird women. According to the guide, those women are probably wild people from the Nanchen tribe. We captured two women and asked them if they could What useful information came out. But I know a little, there are ghosts in the darkness that covers the Demon Shadow Swamp, and the ghost king is probably in it."

After a pause, Ji Huwei continued:

"The scouts reported that they saw people flying in the nearby sky recently, and there were a lot of people, most likely they were people from the Secret Sect of Imperial Law."

After hearing Ji Huwei's report, the girl known as the princess thought about it for a while and asked:

"Can you break through the enemy's blockade and let me enter that darkness?"

The girl was just an ordinary person, but she wanted to enter the darkness where ogre ghosts existed. Her words made the surrounding men all nervous.

Ji Huwei replied:

"Those wild people are not difficult to deal with as long as they don't gather in large numbers. We will be able to break through their blockade if we fight hard. But Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. If something unexpected happens, how will this subordinate explain to the king?"

"Presumptuous!" The girl said coldly, "You are a mere guard, how can you understand the righteousness of this princess for the country and the people!"

Ji Huwei remained silent, kneeling in front of the girl, motionless.

The girl snorted coldly:
"Go away! Prepare to break through the blockade of the wild people immediately, and escort this princess into that darkness! The people from the Secret School of Imperial Law have arrived, so there is no delay for this princess to meet the ghost king!"

Ji Huwei still maintained his kneeling position:
"Princess, please think again!"

The girl Liu raised her eyebrows, raised her palm and slapped Ji Huwei hard on the face.

This slap was so hard that it made a crisp sound.

Afterwards, only the girl said in a high voice:
"I am Princess Jiang Guo. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do, unless he doesn't want his head anymore! If you want to stop me, cut off your own head and present it!"

Ji Huwei gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said:

"Since Her Royal Highness has made up her mind, I will swear allegiance to the death! Please also allow Her Royal Highness to allow me to accompany the guards and enter the darkness together!"

The girl said coldly:

"Follow if you want!"

"The humble minister takes orders!" Ji Huwei replied.

Then Ji Huwei hurriedly stood up and began to prepare for Jiang Guolongzhi's actions.

Even the few nearby men were summoned by Ji Huwei to discuss.

At this time, it is necessary to concentrate everyone's strength to fulfill the wish of Her Royal Highness, and the group of women in the Nanchen tribe is not easy to deal with.

While everyone was discussing, the girl's eyes looked into the distance. Through the forest, she could see the thick darkness reaching to the sky, as if the world was divided into two halves.

"It's such an enviable power..." The girl couldn't help sighing softly, "This kind of power must be used by me! People from the Secret School of Imperial Law have also come, is it to conquer the ghost king? What a god-given opportunity! Ghost king, this Once you asked me for something!"

Jianglue City.

The fire in the city has already been extinguished, and the corpses of the people have also been cleaned up.

Residential houses near the square have been destroyed by such a force that the size of the square has almost doubled.

More disciples of the Secret Sect of the Imperial Law have been ordered to come. They have no less than a hundred of them, and they have brought various materials.

On the huge square, hundreds of disciples of the Secret Sect of Imperial Law were busy.

A huge formation is being built by their magic power and the materials they carry.

The majestic power of law is gradually gathering according to specific laws.

Although it took a few days to build this formation, every disciple of the Secret Sect of the Royal Law was fully concentrated and did not dare to be negligent.

Zong Shou led his disciple Linghu to watch the lively scene in the square.

Following the Zongmen's order, within a short period of time, all the disciples of the Secret Sect of Imperial Law in the Jiang Kingdom gathered here, carrying materials and setting up formations according to the instructions.

In addition to the disciples in these squares, there are more disciples of the Secret Sect of the Royal Law who are chasing the enemy's traces.

Even if the enemy flees to the ends of the earth, he will be able to find him.

This is the power of the Imperial Law Secret Sect. Once the entire sect is in operation, there is nothing it cannot do with its huge energy.

Accompanied by the whistling sound, an old man with white hair and childlike face in a gray-white robe landed beside Zong Shou and Linghu.

Linghu hurriedly bowed to the old man with white hair and youthful face: "Disciple Linghu, I have met the third elder!"

Zong Shouze said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Zong Wu, this trip has worked hard for you."

The old man with white hair and youthful face called Zong Wu also said with a smile:
"Brother Zongshou, you are just following orders, so why bother? You are about to set up a large teleportation formation. By then, this formation can not only be used to pick up the third ancestor, but also be converted into a formation for trapped enemies. It won't be wasted. You still measure by the inch as always."

"You made me laugh." Zong Shou first smiled, and then his expression became more serious, "Junior has been conducting secret investigations around Yong'an Mountain these days, but now that he suddenly returned, did he find something?"

Zong Wu's expression became serious, he nodded and said:
"According to the feedback from many disciples, the enemy has not left this basin. Although I don't know why it has not left this place, it is generally known that it may be hiding in two places."

Having said that, Zong Wu raised his hand and pointed to the darkness covering the entire Shadow Swamp in the distance:
"The last possibility is there! The ghost king who suddenly appeared in the legend has not been able to find out where it came from. So many people think that the ghost king is the enemy who has been trapped by magic!"

Zong Shou nodded, he had always had such doubts.After all, the timing and location of the ghost king's appearance is too coincidental.

Then Zong Shou asked:

"What about the other place? Let me guess, it's the Nancheng Tribe?"

Zong Wu nodded:
"That's right. We re-examined your apprentice Linghu's injuries, and we also captured female warriors from the Nanchen tribe. We found a special evil spirit on their weapons."

Zong Shou frowned and asked again:
"Did you startle the snake?"

Zong Wu smiled:
"The enemy has made such a big noise, so they don't have any lurking plans. It doesn't make sense whether they will startle the enemy. But of course, we won't rush in."

Zong Shou nodded, indeed.

Whether it's the darkness that covers the sky or the evil spirit on a tribe's weapon, it shows that the enemy is not afraid of being discovered.

His eyes stared at the darkness, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes:
"I plan to go to the darkness to investigate personally, and I still have three apprentices trapped inside."

Zong Wu suddenly said to Linghu:

"Linghu, you step back first."

Without any hesitation, the spirit tiger with the head of a tiger turned around respectfully and left, heading for the distance.

It wasn't until Linghu left that Zong Wu sighed and said:
"Brother, we are all at this age, and we have reached the limit of what our talents can achieve. Now we can say that we don't lack anything. To put it bluntly, brother, we should seize the time to cherish every day now." There is no need to put yourself in danger for the sake of a few disciples. They are only your disciples, not your children!"

Zong Shou's thin body was as straight as a green pine, he was still looking at the darkness in the distance, and did not answer.

Seeing Zong Shou's appearance, Zong Wu couldn't help shaking his head.Then Zong Wu said solemnly:
"Second Elder Zongshou of the Imperial Secret Sect! The head of the sect has an order that you are not allowed to act without authorization before taking over for the third ancestor!"

Zong Shou asked calmly:
"Senior brother, do you know that I will do this?"

Zong Wu replied:

"Everyone, brothers and sisters started together and have been together for decades, don't they know what kind of people they are?"

Zong Shou couldn't help raising his volume:
"Then the head brother must also know that the head order alone can't stop me!"

"Brother!" Zong Wu couldn't help shouting, "Yes, you are great, you are amazing, you risk your life for the sake of your disciples! But have you ever thought about how much trouble you will bring to the sect because of your personal whims? ?!"

Zong Shou turned his head and looked at Zong Wu.

Zong Wu continued:
"The Zongmen was just in the ascendant, but suddenly the enemy came out of trouble. Now that the battle is imminent, it is no longer the time to consider personal life and death! We can't lose this battle! If we lose, not only the Imperial Law Secret Sect will suffer catastrophe, but the entire The Far West will be reduced to purgatory! Therefore, we must gather all the forces we can muster, and we cannot lose the general without a fight!"

Zong Shou sighed and said:

"I have always been a door wall, and my actions these years have been lacklustre. I am not important... I have no children in my life, and my disciples are my children! They entered the Demon Shadow Swamp on my order Yes, now they are trapped, I must bring them out!"

Zong Wu looked at Zong Shou regretfully, then turned his head and stopped talking.
