Chapter 591 Xiao Ting returns home [ask for monthly pass! ]

After Xiao Ting recovered for a while, the journey back to Jiuyang with the Demon Queen of Slaughtering Mountains was smooth. For a strong man of this realm, Tianxia Pass was not an obstacle at all, and any part of the long canyon line could be easily crossed.

After crossing Tianxia Pass, they had smooth sailing and found the camp of the seven-army coalition.

Before they got close, falcons spotted them from the sky. A dozen knights riding falcons surrounded the two of them and shouted fiercely, "Who dares to approach our camp?"

They were surrounded by powerful bows and crossbows, as if they were ready to shoot the two men on the spot before they could say anything.

Xiao Ting frowned, "How dare you! You don't even recognize me? Open your dog eyes and see, I am the High Priest of Huanshen Peak!"

"Ah?" The leading flying general took a closer look. Although the man in front of him had dirty and bloody clothes, disheveled hair and looked dishevelled, upon closer inspection, he did look a bit like the Wind Priest.

He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to make the decision. Please wait here for a moment, Priest Feng. I will report to the army right away."

The flying general went back to deliver the message, and soon someone came out and welcomed Xiao Ting and the Mountain-Slaying Demon Queen in.

The main generals of each department and Xiao Jue had gathered in the big tent. When they saw Xiao Ting coming back, they immediately focused their attention on him. However, they were not very happy, but were all scrutinizing and cautious.

After all, the probability of him being captured by the Yin army and being able to escape is too low. The more likely scenario is that he surrendered to the Yin army and returned as an undercover agent of the Yin army.

"I was communicating with the Heavenly Priest earlier, discussing how to rescue you." Xiao Jue smiled politely, "I didn't expect you to escape back by yourself."

"The people of Yin wanted to take me to Longyuan City for interrogation. Thanks to the Mountain-Slaying Demon Queen, they hijacked the prison van and rescued me." Xiao Ting then briefly described the process.

The doubts of the people present were somewhat dispelled, and Xiao Jue nodded and said, "The Yin people are now desperate. Even if we are frustrated in attacking Tianxia Pass today, it is only a matter of time before we take this place. It is normal for them to want to transfer the important prisoners."

Moreover, the truly strong men in Yin’s army had to stay to defend the city, so it was understandable that the escort team was a little weaker.

However, out of caution, he still asked Tu Shan: "How did the Demon Queen know the time and route of the Yin Army's escort?"

"Heh." Tu Shan smiled softly, "The Wusheng Sect has always had a secret agent in the Yin Army. I have asked my men to keep an eye out for information about Priest Feng, and they will not let him be taken to Longyuan City."

"You don't have to doubt the Demon Queen. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her." Xiao Ting stepped forward confidently and said, "With my status, how could the Yin people let me go just to gain their trust after they captured me? And there is even less of a problem with me. I am completely sincere to Jiu Yang. If you don't believe me, I, Xiao Ting, can change my name to Xiao Yang in the future!"

"You don't have to prove yourself like this." Xiao Jue smiled faintly, "I naturally believe that you will never betray Jiuyang and Huanshen Peak. You must have suffered a lot in the Yin Army camp these days. Rest up first and heal your wounds with peace of mind."

After some inquiries, Xiao Jue had Xiao Ting taken away and arranged for someone to take good care of him.

However, he did not mention any recent military events to him, and it was obvious that he was still a little wary. This was normal. Even if Xiao Ting did not participate, Jiuyang could still take Tianxia Pass. Naturally, he would not rashly use him at this time, adding unnecessary risks.

It seems that for a long time to come, Xiao Ting will not have the opportunity to return to the core of the Yang Army and make achievements.

When Xiao Ting arrived and took over after Xiao Zuan's formation failed, he treated him the same way. There was still a lot of competition between the three of them, so it was normal for them to be wary of each other.

It would be fine if he was just put in cold storage, because Xiao Ting and Xiao Zu had a complete fight before, which directly led to a rout. However, with Xiao Zu's death, he could put all the blame on Xiao Zu, and he didn't worry about taking responsibility himself.

Returning to the tent prepared for him, Xiao Ting still felt a little angry. "If I hadn't been stabbed in the back by those monsters, I would have led my army to attack Liangzhou, not just Tianxia Pass! How could I give him the chance to gain the upper hand?"

"Xiao Jue ranks very high on the Tongtian List, and his Seven Killing Blood Rain Formation is also extremely terrifying. It seems that it will not be easy for Priest Feng to compete with him..." Tu Shan said quietly beside him.

Xiao Ting showed a trace of worry, as if he was afraid that Tu Shan would abandon him. His direct line of troops had been wiped out in the last defeat. If she turned to Xiao Jue again, he would have no one left to use.

So he said sinisterly, "If the Seven Killing Blood Rain Formation was really that invincible, wouldn't the Heavenly Priest have sent him down the mountain long ago? His formation actually has a big weakness."

"Oh?" Tu Shan's eyes turned and said, "It's inappropriate for Priest Feng to tell me this, right? After all, I am an outsider."

In fact, Xiao Ting didn't intend to explain it in such detail, he just wanted to belittle Xiao Jue. But the words of the Tushan Demon Queen made him feel a little embarrassed. If he didn't continue to tell her, wouldn't it mean that he really treated her as an outsider?
So he had to continue, "The Demon Queen is now my most trusted ally. If you are not trustworthy, then even my parents are not trustworthy, haha. His Seven Killings Blood Rain Formation requires the slaughter of tens of thousands of lives as blood sacrifices. Every time it is performed, each tribe must hand over a large number of cattle and sheep. And as long as someone finds the location of his altar, it is easy to interrupt his spellcasting. Compared with my Gangfeng Soul-Slaying Formation, it is really not worth mentioning."

“I see.” The Mountain Slaughtering Demon Queen nodded, “It seems that among the three high priests, you, the Wind Priest, are the strongest.”

"Alas." Xiao Ting sighed, "It's a pity that I'm unlucky. I don't know if I will have a chance to make a comeback."

The Mountain Slaughtering Demon Queen looked at him with a smile and nodded, "It will happen."

……

In less than two days, Liang Yue returned to Tianxia Pass with a large number of blood-refining grass.

As soon as they landed, they informed the generals of the situation and both sides exclaimed in surprise.

"Did Marquis Bashan really repel Yang's army?" Liang Yue asked in surprise.

The generals in the army were even more shocked, "Did you really capture the Demon Sect Blood Lord?"

It turned out that all the generals were a little worried about Liang Yue's trip. After all, they had tried to find the location of the Blood Lord before, but the military sent out a large number of spies and searched in the East China Sea for many years without any results.

Liang Yue had only been there for two days when he found the true body of Blood Lord.

It's really unbelievable.

What level of connections does he have in the Demon Sect?

Liang Yue didn't want to talk more about the whereabouts of Blood Lord, so he changed the subject and continued, "We can hurry up and refine the elixir to remove the blood curse on the soldiers. In addition, I have asked a connection from the Demon Sect to help me find out how to break the Seven Killing Blood Rain Formation. If we can gain something, then we will have hope of annihilating the Yang Army!"
