C992 The Situation Had Changed

In order to avoid Yuwen Qianmo accidentally revealing shocking words again, Du Qi had no choice but to change the topic. "It's getting late, we should go on our way!"

Everyone coaxed him and followed him out of the bottom of the cliff. They took a small path and ran towards Heavenly Pillar Peak. Just as they turned a corner of the mountain, they suddenly saw a person running in front of them. Du Qi asked in surprise, "Shen Shantong? "

This person was the two men from the Cock Cult who followed Du Qi yesterday. Shen Shantong was captured by Lin Wuming. Du Qi ordered him to gather all the men from the Heaven Connecting Sect to go to the Heavenly Pillar Peak, but Shen Shantong was heading towards a place far away from the Heavenly Pillar Peak. He didn't know if he was going to the Secluded Mountain Manor or not, but Du Qi was surprised to see him.

Shen Shantong couldn't help but feel delighted when he saw Du Qi's group. He quickly came to the front of the group. When he suddenly saw Xiong Mingfang walking with Du Qi and the others, he couldn't help but be surprised. However, it only took a moment for him to return to normal. He cupped his fists and saluted. "This subordinate, Shen Shantong, greets the Venerable One and the two Venerable Ones. Greetings, heroes!"

As if he was worried that Du Qi would blame him, Shen Shantong continued without hesitation, "Two Venerable Ones, this subordinate will lead all my brothers to Heavenly Pillar Peak. Fifty miles ahead, they were stopped by someone. The leader of the group claimed that he was a friend of the two Venerable Ones. I didn't see you, Second Lord. You won't let us go. I'm worried that forcing our way in will cause conflicts and damage to our relationship. So, we settled the brothers down and returned to look for the Two Supremes, and asked them to make the decision. "

Du Qi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He asked, "Don't be overly courteous. Do you know which group the other party is from?"

Shen Shantong replied respectfully, "Reporting to the two Venerable Ones, the other party is a group of official soldiers. From the looks of it, there are about two thousand people. The leader is a general. I heard that we are not the only ones who are stopped. There were also the people from the Morality Gang. They had also sent several groups of people to look for the two of them. I have already sent someone to inform them to wait for the news of the two Venerable Ones. "

Du Qi knew that the court officials and soldiers suppressed the people from the martial arts world in numbers. At present, practically all the heroes of the world had gathered here, and there were no less than a hundred thousand of them. Moreover, there were as many experts as the clouds, and it could be said to be a huge commotion. If there were only two thousand ordinary soldiers, they would have already fled when they saw this. So, how could they dare to stand in the way of the Morality Gang and the Heaven Connecting Sect?

Obviously, this group of soldiers was not ordinary soldiers. Du Qi thought about all the people he knew. He could not find such a general, let alone his friend. Du Qi did not need to think to know that the reason why this general pretended to be his friend and blocked the Morality Gang and Heaven Connecting Sect was not simple.

The more Du Qi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he felt. He wished he could see the general immediately and find out the truth of the matter. At that moment, he could not be bothered to speak anymore. He grabbed Yuwen Qianmo and rushed forward. Nangong Feiyan, Fann Wencong and the others hurriedly followed him and left Shen Shantong at the back of the line.

In just a moment, Du Qi and the others had run nearly fifty miles. Looking from afar, one could see thousands of people from the Heaven Connecting Sect crowded in a relatively wide canyon. Du Qi did not bother to respond to the greetings and greetings from the crowd. He walked forward and saw several rows of soldiers neatly blocking the open area outside the valley. Everyone drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the people from the Heaven Connecting Sect, so that they did not dare to come out of the valley.

Du Qi had just arrived in front of the people of Heaven Connecting Sect. Before he could ask why those soldiers were blocking the way, a small leader among the soldiers came over and shouted, "Young Master Du, General Dongfang invites you!"

Following the voice of the small leader, the soldiers behind him seemed to have received an order. They put down their bows and arrows in unison and made way for him.

Du Qi could not help but be stunned when he heard that. "General Dongfang? Could it be the East Pavilion?" Du Qi had a subtle relationship with the people from the East Pavilion, who were from the Agricultural and Commercial Sects. Even if they were to protect him wholeheartedly, Yuanhui and Shui Wuhen, who had a close relationship with him, could not be considered his friends. In addition, the East Pavilion seems to only have two to three hundred soldiers under their command. Therefore, he did not think that this group of soldiers would be led by the East Pavilion.

Knowing that the East Pavilion was blocking the way, Du Qi felt slightly relieved. However, he still didn't understand why the East Pavilion wanted to block the path of the Heaven Connecting Sect and the Morality Gang. At this moment, Du Qi wanted to ask the East Pavilion for a reason. And so, without saying a word, he followed behind the small head and walked in the direction of the military camp.

As Du Qi had been holding Yuwen Qianmo's arm, Yuwen Qianmo had no choice but to follow by Du Qi's side. Nangong Feiyan, Fann Wencong and the others naturally followed behind Du Qi, passing through three tents. They arrived at a tall rectangular tent in the middle of the military camp. East Pavilion, Yuanhui, Shui Wuhen, and the sharpening craftsman greeted them at the right time. However, they did not see the peddler and farmer.

Perhaps it was because there were too many people behind Du Qi, East Pavilion could not help frowning slightly. It made his gloomy face look even more depressed, and he had to pretend to be smiling. Du Qi, who was already feeling unhappy, saw it. He felt that East Pavilion's smile was not only forced, but also very fake. It seemed to be uglier than crying. This made Du Qi even more unhappy. However, the East Pavilion seemed to be unaware of it. They slightly cupped their hands towards Du Qi. Still smiling, they said, "Young Master Du, please come in!"

Du Qi only snorted and didn't say anything. He followed the East Pavilion's gesture and entered the tent. The space inside the tent was as wide as a hall. There were desk seats at the innermost part of the tent. Twenty to thirty simple stools were placed on both sides of the tent. Du Qi unceremoniously sat on the chair behind the desk. He still did not say a word.

The East Pavilion called for everyone to sit down one by one, but he stood in front of the desk. He cupped his hands at Du Qi and said, "Young Master Du, I was in a hurry to find you. I just wanted to tell you. Due to the change in the situation, the original rescue plan could not be carried out. In order to not let those ambitious schemers succeed, and also to ensure the safety of your elder, we have to rediscuss the rescue plan."

Du Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, with the pride of the East Pavilion... He couldn't help but look at Yuanhui and the others. He suddenly realized that Yuanhui, Shui Wuhen, and the sharpening craftsman were also looking worried. Only then did he know that the situation might be more serious than he had imagined. So he suppressed the shock in his heart and asked somewhat anxiously, "What exactly is going on?"

East Pavilion smiled bitterly and said, "The day before yesterday, Daoist priest Tianyi and the people of Heaven One Sect had just crossed the Yangtze River when they were stopped by the devils of the Heaven and Earth Cult. As soon as they came into contact with each other, they sent people to fight one on one. There was a stalemate between the two sides. At first, there was news about them, but there was no news about them for the past two days. Daoist priest Tianyi and the others had been trapped by all the devils of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and the experts of the Camel Horse Gang had yet to arrive according to the plan. It seemed like they had been stopped by someone with ulterior motives. Although my two thousand brothers' strength is still passable, however, they were unable to fight against so many people. Thus... That's why I'm in a hurry to find young master to discuss countermeasures"
