Chapter 59: The Human Immortal has arrived

"Duan Laoshu Duan, thank you!" Walking out of the wine cellar door, Xiao Yu saw Duan Yuhan again.

Just like before, only a hazy ghost shadow, unable to see his face clearly.

She bowed, cupped her hands, and bowed respectfully to him.

"If not for Duan Laoshu's guidance, foster father would have been insulted by evildoers, and Xiao Yu would surely have held regrets for her entire life and suffered for a lifetime."

She was nine-tenths sincere in this thanks; without Duan Yuhan's guidance, she would likely have missed the Bone-Changing Pill.

Guan Zhong could cautiously hide the divine pill, but he could not watch Guan Huchen suffer torture.

Never mind that Huchen still had a breath left; even if Huchen were already dead, with only his bones remaining, Guan Zhong still could not endure seeing Huchen's remains subjected to such cruel humiliation.

Of course, Wang Bao, Li Qing and the others could never have retreated successfully.

Inside the Flag Gate Escape formation, even she, who was originally in the wine cellar, had lost her sense of direction.

Wang Bao, Li Qing and the others, who didn't know where they had run off to, how did they brave the thick white fog to reach the wine cellar directly?

It wasn't the guidance of the person behind Wang Bao and Li Qing, but the owner of the Flag Gate Escape formation, Kong Zan!

Eight-tenths likely Kong Zan deliberately let them pass.

The purpose is also easy to guess: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Since she guessed that Kong Zan might be eyeing this wine cellar, leaving now to find the Red Smoke Colt was instead a path to survival.

"Miss Yu is too kind."

Duan Yuhan also responded to Xiao Yu with the same etiquette and said solemnly, "Saving a father in danger is an act of filial piety!

Even for a stranger met by chance, one must try one's best if one can help.

Not to mention that Miss Yu has a heaven-sized kindness toward my Duan father and son; even binding grass and carrying rings would not be enough to repay it, and I am only guiding the way; dealing with the evildoers depends entirely on Miss's divine bravery and fearlessness."

Xiao Yu bowed again and said, "Duan Laoshu Duan, we already have a friendship, so let's stop being polite to each other.

Next, I will have to trouble Duan Laoshu to help me find the Red Smoke Colt, so as to send foster father out of the sea of suffering."

"It should be so!"

Duan Yuhan heard this and not only didn't think Xiao Yu was pushing her luck and asking for more help, but his tone revealed joy and closeness.

Without any delay, he continued to lead the way in front, "ghost-calling" incessantly, guiding Xiao Yu into the "ghost Dao."

The Flag Gate Escape appeared as early as the Middle Ages, tens of thousands of years ago.

It is an immortal Dao technique created by an immortal of the Jie Sect.

Initially, its function was relatively singular, mainly used for beheading generals in battle.

Inserting two large flags into the ground turns them into two doors, and the space between the two flag doors becomes a self-contained space.

The practitioner enters it and can completely hide their figure.

If the enemy dares to chase in, not only do they lose their sense of direction and space, but they are also very easily approached by the hidden practitioner, and their heads are cut off without them even noticing or having any resistance.

But if the Flag Gate Escape beheads too many generals and becomes known to the world, and everyone stops chasing and drilling into the flag gates, what then?

The Flag Gate Escape inheritance obtained by Kong Zan was slightly different from the Middle Ages.

His Flag Gate Escape can also be used to behead generals in battle; just after he debuted and beheaded several great enemies, it immediately made the name "Hunting Flag Immortal" resound through the West, and he could no longer trick people into the trap.

Inserting flags on the spot to set up the Flag Gate Escape cannot trick people, but what if traps are set in advance?

The Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan has two large flags: one soap-colored flag, one white banner.

One large flag transforms into a flag gate, and the space between the two flag gates is the "Flag Gate Space."

The "enemy" carrying the black and white flags that Old Man Qin saw back then was him.

He quietly came to Feixian Ferry at night and inserted one large flag on the road east of Yunlai Inn, which is the road Huchen and the others took from Hengsha Pass.

He waited until today, when the Lieyang Marquis came from the straight road in the west and entered the camp arranged by Huchen, before he inserted the other large flag at the intersection of the straight road in the west.

Thus, from the intersection of the straight road in the west to the end of the road in the east, almost the entire Feixian Ferry was shrouded within the Flag Gate Space.

When Lei Yuanzi ended the thunderstorm, and the jade-faced Wenqu used words to disrupt the Fire Crow Army's morale, the "Eight Immortals Shooting the Sun" operation officially began.

The first step was to blockade Feixian Ferry with the Flag Gate Escape and behead all the Fire Crow Army soldiers whose beliefs were wavering.

Xiao Yu heard the jade-faced Wenqu's speech and immediately determined that he was confusing the army's morale and striking at the Fire Crow Army's fighting spirit.

Of course, at this time, the Fire Crow Army under the Lieyang Marquis was not pure; it was composed of two parts: one part was the "Great Qin Giants" of less than a hundred people, and the other part was the elites of the Western countries.

For example, the Luye Guard armored cavalry battalion led by Huchen, and the Western Sha Garrison battalion brought from Hengsha Pass.

Now that the chaos of the Thirty-Six Countries has subsided, the Thirty-Six Countries have all expressed their submission to Great Qin again, and they also have elites following the Lieyang Marquis to quell the disturbances in various countries.

The jade-faced Wenqu's speech mainly influenced this group of temporary Fire Crow Army soldiers.

But Xiao Yu miscalculated the jade-faced Wenqu's true purpose.

It was very cruel and also very cunning.

The jade-faced Wenqu did not want them to give up resistance, or even defect in battle.

He simply wanted to shake their will and destroy the Lieyang Marquis's "Three Thousand Fire Crow Formation."

The most direct purpose was to facilitate the Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan to point-kill those righteous people who were persuaded and still felt gratitude for their old masters deep in their hearts.

"Ah, it's foggy, such heavy fog!"

The Flag Gate Escape formation opened, and the fog seemed to teleport in; almost the moment the large flag was inserted, all the space in the entire Feixian Ferry was filled with thick fog.

A commotion immediately appeared in the Fire Crow Army camp.

"Do not move randomly!" The Lieyang Marquis's low voice spread in all directions. "This is Kong Zan's Flag Gate Escape; you have now completely lost your sense of direction and space, and any action cannot achieve your expected goals.

You want to approach, but you can only move away.

You want to go left, but you might walk to the right a hundred steps away, or even leave the military formation range directly.

But as long as you don't move, Kong Zan cannot—"

"Puchi, puchi~~~"

Before the Lieyang Marquis could finish speaking, seven or eight knights with black giant elephants tattooed on their chest armor suddenly lost their heads.

They were very obedient and didn't move randomly, but the invisible blades still descended from the sky.

Like snowflakes drifting down, crossing the umbrella surface, drifting through the Fire Crow Army's giant flame shields, and landing on their necks.

As crisp as a sharp blade cutting a watermelon, taking away one after another of their fine heads.

"The Lieyang Marquis is deceiving you; only by leaving the military camp range can you survive." Dou Yilin appeared at the right time to call out.

His elegant and gentle voice was very infectious and also very persuasive.

Immediately, many "temporary Fire Crow Army soldiers" were shaken.

The Lieyang Marquis said indifferently, "Those who desert in battle will be beheaded, and their entire families will be convicted!"

The soldiers dared not move.

But although their bodies dared not move, their hearts toward Great Qin were shaking more and more violently.

"Puchi, puchi, puchi~~~"

One after another, the Western soldiers had their heads cut off or their bodies severed by invisible blades.

Those whose bodies were severed were not yet dead, and with their shrill screams and wriggling intestines, they wrote a big "tragic" word in everyone's heart.

"Marquis, save me!" Some soldiers were terrified and wailed loudly toward the Lieyang Marquis.

"Hmph, you are all within the Three Thousand Fire Crow Formation; as long as you restrain your distracting thoughts and calm your mind, you will definitely be immune to all methods!

The so-called Flag Gate Escape is just an evil illusion, vulnerable before this Marquis's Three Thousand Fire Crow Formation."

The Lieyang Marquis not only had a calm and confident tone, but he also showed his confidence in his actions: at such a time, he was still leaning on the soft couch in the commander's tent reading a book.

Of course, the scene inside the commander's tent was hard for outsiders to see; this act of showing off was a bit of a failure... Uh, the Lieyang Marquis wasn't doing it on purpose; he was truly calm.

Look at the expressions of the ten-foot-tall giants nearby.

This group of warriors from the upper state all had calm expressions, with no waves in their hearts.

"Do not let your imagination run wild; if your hearts are chaotic, the connection between your own energy and the military formation will weaken, and losing the protection of the military formation, Kong Zan's evil methods will be able to approach you and kill you silently," said Wang Ming, the Grand Commandant of the Giant Elephant Country, loudly.

Like Huchen, he also had the ambition to go to Great Qin to seek a great future, so his loyalty to the Lieyang Marquis was very high, and he was almost unaffected by Dou Yilin's speech.

If Huchen were still here, eight-tenths likely he would have the same performance. The reason is simple: in the eyes of righteous people like the "Western Eight Immortals" who cherish their old masters, Huchen and Wang Ming are "Western traitors," and their hatred for Western traitors exceeds their hatred for the Lieyang Marquis.

"Western traitors" also have self-knowledge.

Didn't Huchen suspect before that the "remnants of the Thirty-Six Countries" wanted to harm him!

"Puchi, puchi, puchi......"

Invisible blades still fell like raindrops, sometimes directly taking away the targeted soldiers, sometimes being blocked by soldiers waving their blades, and sometimes being blocked by flame giant shields.

"Ah, I don't want to die, save me, Captain Zhang, save me."

"Save me, Marquis, save me~~~"

"No, don't kill me, I'll leave the military camp immediately—ah~~~"

If a person can control the fear in their heart, then they are... the Batman of the Primordial World.

Clearly, most people in the world are ordinary, and "Batmen" are very rare.

"Brother Dou, it's about time, start the next step!"

When Xiao Yu walked out of the wine cellar again, on a mountain top shrouded in thick fog in the north, the Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the Bagua Heavenly Blade formation, frowned and opened his eyes, turning to the elegant scholar beside him.

Dou Yilin was stunned and said, "The chaos in the Lieyang Marquis's military camp has just begun; it is the time for Brother Kong to continue exerting force, why stop suddenly?"

Kong Zan said vaguely, "Only a small number of Western soldiers have confused minds; they almost started running around, but were immediately beheaded by the military law officers beside them, and couldn't cause a big mess at all."

"Kill one for every one!"

Dou Yilin looked at him strangely, "We have all witnessed the power of the Lieyang Marquis's military formation.

He is a 'Divine General' of the military path, able to gather the power of ten thousand troops into one body.

If he has a hundred internal qi experts who practice 'Fire Crow Strength' around him, even a True Immortal would have to avoid his edge.

Even if only a thousand or so miscellaneous troops remain, and their hearts are not united, we are not True Immortals.

If we confront him head-on, the chance of victory is still slim.

Only by cutting off his wings as much as possible, preferably leaving him with no one to use, can the 'Eight Immortals Shooting the Sun' operation succeed."

Kong Zan was hesitant, "I understand, it's just—"

"It's just that the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill, which you have missed for a lifetime, suddenly fell from the sky and was delivered to your face for free; it's a pity to let it go in vain." "Wave Moon Scatterer" Zhou Lang, carrying a long sword, drifted over gracefully.

"Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill?" Dou Yilin said in surprise, "Could it be the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill that Old Duck Guan asked the thief Daoist Qingsong to refine? Is the divine pill refined now?"

"Hehe, so Brother Dou didn't know." Zhou Lang chuckled and said gloomily, "The divine pill was not only refined, but the thief Daoist Qingsong actually kept his promise and handed the divine pill to Guan Huchen.

However, Guan Huchen had already been killed by the Lieyang Marquis at that time, and the divine pill was kept by his old servant Guan Zhong.

Now Guan Zhong is in the wine cellar behind the Yunlai Inn."

"You are quite clear about it." Kong Zan's eyes flashed with wariness.

Zhou Lang sighed, "The thief Daoist Qingsong handed the divine pill to Guan Zhong in public; even the waiter at the Yunlai Inn saw it clearly. Several waiters escaped from the back mountain earlier, as you know."

Kong Zan gritted his teeth and said, "You stay here and don't move; consider that I, Old Kong, owe you a favor."

Zhou Lang stared into his eyes and said seriously, "You open the Flag Gate Escape formation and open a path for me; I will owe you three favors, how about that?"

"My Gengyan..." Dou Yilin was also tempted.

He himself has no innate divine ability, but his daughter Dou Gengyan is a natural talent, born with a clear sword heart, and has extremely high comprehension of Daoist divine abilities; if she could take another Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill...

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Lang and Kong Zan glared at him with unkind eyes.

Dou Yilin touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything, but don't forget the big picture of 'Eight Immortals Shooting the Sun'." ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
