Dongmojing, Imperial Palace.

The eunuch general hurriedly walked out of the palace where Yu Hengtian was in seclusion, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after hesitating for a while, he finally picked up an exquisite little hammer outside the palace gate and knocked on the cloud board hanging outside the door a few times.

This cloud board is not an ordinary visible cloud board. It has spiritual fluctuations on it. It is a magic weapon. The sound it makes after hitting is different from that of ordinary cloud boards. It is very penetrating and can pass through formations and restrictions and directly pass to the ears of those who are in seclusion and recuperation.

If there wasn't such a thing, if Yu Hengtian was immersed in cultivation, he might not have heard anything shocking outside, and no one dared to break the place where he was in seclusion, and maybe he would delay important things.

Even so, the eunuch general was really struggling for a long time when he rang the cloud board. If it weren't for the information coming from the spies below that was too sensational and had touched the foundation of the country, he wouldn't dare to disturb him at the critical moment when the Demon Emperor was about to break through, because he might have lost his life.

"What's the matter?" After the cloud board rang for a long time, just as the eunuch was thinking about whether to knock it again, Yu Hengtian's voice suddenly came from his ears.

"Report to Your Majesty..." The eunuch chief had knelt on the ground before he could speak, and said humbly: "There is a secret spy who reported that the prince's prince was ordered to investigate the destruction of the princess' tomb. However, the criminal had already escaped from the wind and snow field, so..."

"Long story short." Yu Hengtian interrupted without waiting for the eunuch to finish his words.

"Yes. His Highness the Crown Prince went to the Pingjiang Palace to ask for the reason. Unexpectedly, the King of Pingjiang suddenly turned against him and colluded with others to capture His Highness the Crown Prince, destroyed another 100,000 prince's personal army, and then disappeared." The eunuch general kept lying on the ground and said loudly.

"Who is the one who helped King Pingjiang?" Yu Hengtian asked again.

"This person's name is Xia Fan." The eunuch general said carefully: "Eighty-mostly the eldest princess' illegitimate son, and before that, His Highness the Crown Prince has been mobilizing troops to stare at the secret spies in the Western Demon Realm, just to capture this person."

"Bad child?! Humph!" Yu Hengtian snorted coldly, full of murderous intent and anger, and said, "I heard that this person was fighting fiercely with the princess Yu Kongyue in the Western Demon Realm. I must have been fascinated by ghosts and wanted to help outsiders deal with me. But did he find out his whereabouts?"

"The spies are pursuing their full efforts, but there is no result yet." The eunuch general guide.

"Continue to investigate." Yu Hengtian said coldly: "Let them keep an eye on all the important roads entering Beijing. They are probably coming to me, a royal family branch and an unknown illegitimate child. Humph, I want to see what kind of waves they can make."

"Abide by the order." The eunuch general responded, and then hurriedly left. After so many years, his entire back was soaked in cold sweat.

…………………………………

Xia Fan didn't know that the matter had been exposed at this time, but he was keen and vaguely felt something was wrong.

He and Yu Xiaokun were quite calm all the way when they left Pingjiang City, but after flying for about 200,000 miles, he found that many demon cultivators appeared in the low altitude.

It is not rare to meet other people when flying in the air. After all, the sky is so big, and whether it is a cultivator or a demon cultivator, the range of movement after flying suddenly becomes quite large. It is still very common to occasionally meet people who are traveling with you.

However, Xia Fan sensitively realized that these people were not like serious travelers, but more like they were investigating someone.

This made Xia Fan tighten his heartstrings all at once. He immediately flew to a higher place in the sky, and then released his divine thoughts to constantly scan the surroundings.

The demon clan's spies are not very strong, at least they cannot compare with Xia Fan. So when Xia Fan is hiding in a high altitude that they cannot fly, and their divine consciousness cannot detect such a high place, it is basically unlikely to find the traces of Xia Fan and Yu Xiaokun, but the two of them can easily scan them.

"Can we be exposed?" Yu Xiaokun asked.

"That's right." Xia Fan used his divine thought to observe these strange people and immediately knew that they were secret spies. From the way they changed their past secretly hiding to collect information, they searched for him and Yu Xiaokun's whereabouts, it was not difficult for Xia Fan to judge that they must have been in charge of Yu Hengtian's will, otherwise it would not have been so open.

"So, our plan to sneak attack Yu Hengtian failed before it was implemented?" Yu Xiaokun asked, his face strange, not very disappointed, but seemed to be relieved. Obviously, he probably felt that the risk of doing this was too great.

When he spoke before, Yu Xiaokun could certainly be passionate, and he looked like he had put life and death aside in order to avenge Yu Meier. However, he was just a moment of anger. After calming down, he might not regret it, especially if he wanted to go to the East Demon Capital to kill Yu Hengtian, it was unrealistic to hear it.

Yu Xiaokun may not have the courage to die in order to avenge Yu Meier, but what he was worried about was that he could not kill Yu Hengtian after he died, which was the cowardly he was dead.

But in front of Xia Fan, he could not retreat. One was afraid of being looked down upon, and the other was afraid that Xia Fan would turn against him. To be honest, although they were about the same strength, Yu Xiaokun was really afraid of Xia Fan after losing to Xia Fan once. Especially after seeing Xia Fan decapitating the Demon Fire of Destruction, he felt even more distressed.

"If you fail, you fail." Xia Fan also had little disappointment and said lightly: "The previous plan was not very good, and the gambling component was too big, so it doesn't matter if you fail."

"Let's give up like this?" Yu Xiaokun asked.

"Of course not." Xia Fan shook his head and said, "In fact, even if we capture Yu Cangqiong, I will abandon our previous plan to attack Yu Hengtian. After all, the risky moves are not the right way. If you want to kill the enemy, you have to rely on a dignified and upright army."

"Do you want to kill him directly?" Yu Xiaokun glared at Xia Fan and said in a lost voice: "This is not avenge, but a death, are you crazy?"

"Who said I wanted to do that?!" Xia Fan denied Yu Xiaokun with a glance.

"Then what do you want to do?" Yu Xiaokun was puzzled and asked quickly.

"You will know when you arrive at Dongmojing later." Xia Fan kept silent.

In fact, before he really entered the East Mojing, Yu Xiaokun knew what Xia Fan wanted to do. But he couldn't help but point at Xia Fan with a shocked face and said several words: "Are you crazy?"

Of course Xia Fan was not crazy, but what he was going to do was quite crazy.

Located two thousand miles away from the Higashimojing, there is a small town called Mabao. Due to its age, I don’t know why there is such a name here.

Although there is a route to Dongmojing through Mabao, it is not prosperous because it is really remote and is located between the mountains and ridges. It is very likely that outsiders can come here. However, there are many people in Mabao, with about 100,000 people all year round.

There is a mountain next to Horse Fort, called Matou Mountain, which is said to be named because it looks like a horse's head.

This mountain is one of the seven mountains that guard Dongmojing.

All Xia Fan was preparing to do was to capture this horse fort and then occupy the entire Matou Mountain.

"Isn't it too crazy?" Yu Xiaokun stood beside Xia Fan, looking at the Horse Fort located at the foot of Matou Mountain from afar, and said, "It looks sparsely populated here, but it is all illusion. Because it is too close to Dongmojing, Matou Mountain is one of the seven mountains and rivers that protect Dongmojing. The most unabundant here is soldiers and horses."

After hearing Xia Fan's thoughts, Yu Xiaokun felt that it was so shocking, so he kept trying to make him give up and advised: "Although there are not many people in the Ma Castle, they are just the families of the army stationed in Matou Mountain. If we attack here, it will be like stabbing a hornet's nest."

"Not only will the defenders in Matou Mountain attack us crazily, but the defenders in other six mountains and rivers will also come to support us." Speaking of this, Yu Xiaokun glanced at Xia Fan and said, "What's even more troublesome is that the seven mountains and rivers not only have their own mountain protection formations, but also connect with each other to form a larger formation to protect Dongmojing. No matter how many soldiers and horses are in your hands, facing such a powerful defense system and hundreds of millions of enemies, you will eventually be defeated."

"Is there any?" Xia Fan asked casually without any comment.

"Yes." Yu Xiaokun pointed to the horse castle and said, "This is also a very troublesome point. That is, there is a teleportation array in the horse castle, and the scale is not small. This means that if we cannot take it down in an extremely short period of time, just the continuous use of troops in the city can drown us alive. Now it is still time for you to give up. To be honest, even if you assassinate Yu Hengtian directly, it is more reliable than attacking here."

"That may not be." Xia Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have carefully observed the terrain of Dongmojing before and found that if I want to attack Dongmojing, this is the best breakthrough point. If I move forward, I will enter the formation formed by the Qishan Wuchuan. It is easy to get out if I want to get in."

"If you retreat, there are several places suitable for breakthroughs, but they are a bit far from Dongmojing. The distance between two or three thousand miles is really not suitable for large-scale troops to attack. After thinking about it, I still think this place is the most appropriate." Xia Fan explained.

"You are right. You are not the only one who thinks this way, so when you built this horse castle, you were already on guard against being attacked by the enemy." Yu Xiaokun grabbed a handful of hair and said irritably: "As long as I said so much, you didn't take a word to your heart."

"Why, I listened carefully, so I felt more and more that this place was suitable for me to implement my plan." Xia Fan turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaokun and said, "Don't worry, I will not joke about myself and your life. At worst, this is the case. If you think things are not done, then retreat. I don't blame you, what?"

"Am I the kind of person who is greedy for life and fears death?" Yu Xiaokun was angry, feeling that he had contempt and insulted, and said coldly: "If your mother was Yu Meier, I would care about you to die. Forget it, just make a fuss. If you are willing to make a fuss, just make a fuss. I will accompany you. If it really doesn't work, I can help you escape."

"Just rest assured, I'm a good person." Xia Fan smiled.
