The two gatekeeping soldiers were slightly startled when they heard Yi Xingyun speak like that.
They had been stationed here for several months and were reminded daily to be cautious of people coming from other Tang Sect strongholds.
Unexpectedly, they finally ca now.
"The manager is already out, how about you both co in and sit for a while?" said one soldier.
Yi Xingyun first glanced at his master, Ji Yuanhen, saw Ji Yuanhen nod slightly, then replied:
"Alright."
Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun were then led by the soldier into the Tang Sect stronghold.
After Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun walked away, another soldier imdiately used Lightweight Skill to go to a nearby town, asked for two fast horses, and galloped towards Jiannan Prefecture City.
The sound of galloping hooves rang out sharply, and he raced all the way to the estate of the Heaven-Breaking Army in Jiannan Prefecture City, imdiately requesting to see Elder Dan Yang or Qiu Yu.
Li Xuanji had been away from Jiannan Prefecture City for a long ti, so the city was temporarily managed by Elder Dan Yang or Qiu Yu.
Following layer upon layer of reports, this soldier t with Qiu Yu.
After the soldier quickly explained the situation, Qiu Yu decisively sent soone to the city wall to leave a mark for Su Que.
In his heart, he secretly hoped that their soldiers in the Tang Sect stronghold could hold off these two people from the Central Plains Tang Sect stronghold, not letting them discover the clues too quickly.
...
Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun were led by the soldier into the inner part of the Tang Sect stronghold.
Soon, a Heaven-Breaking Army ridian Opening Realm expert, disguised as a deputy, t with Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun.
The soldiers stationed at this stronghold had long morized the information about this Tang Sect stronghold by heart.
And in their style of conduct, they were no different from the Tang Sect Outer Disciple Assassins of the previous Tang Sect stronghold.
Having never been here before, Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun lacked a point of comparison and naturally couldn't notice any clues.
Once these two arrived, they were imdiately well-received by the disguised deputy, with good tea, snacks, and candied fruits offered one by one.
The disguised deputy engaged Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun in conversation for a while, discussing the situation here.
Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun did not notice that the person in front of them was actually an impostor.
The master and apprentice sat in the stronghold for a while, enjoying the good tea and snacks.
Ji Yuanhen finally grew a bit impatient, his two Long-Eyebrows gathered, "When will the 'Mirage' return?"
The disguised deputy explained, "He has been entrusted by soone to kill a general of the Heaven-Breaking Army."
"The Heaven-Breaking Army's defenses are tight, so he might not be able to return quickly."
Pausing for a mont, he continued, "Why not rest here for the night? I will have the best chef in Jiannan Prefecture City prepare tonight's dinner for you both."
Ji Yuanhen and Yi Xingyun exchanged a glance.
Ji Yuanhen pondered in his heart while Yi Xingyun awaited his master's direction.
Three breaths later, Ji Yuanhen nodded.
The Tang Sect stronghold's furnishings were not inferior to the most luxurious inn in the city.
Ji Yuanhen estimated it was already late and he would have to lodge at an inn anyway.
If they were going to an inn, they might as well stay directly at the Tang Sect stronghold.
"Alright, you go and make the arrangents,"
Yi Xingyun said to the disguised deputy, his tone lacking politeness.
After all, they hailed from the Central Plains, and Jiannan Prefecture was just a remote place.
One could say they were considered the superior of the Tang Sect stronghold in Jiannan Prefecture.
Even without that, their Martial Arts Cultivation was far superior to those in this stronghold.
Therefore, in their hearts, they looked down upon the people in this stronghold.
The disguised deputy nodded and agreed, "Alright," then went to make arrangents.
In his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't been discovered as an impostor, and he managed to keep the two there for one night.
Enough ti for their Heaven-Breaking Army and mysterious experts to act.
...
At this ti, Su Que was cultivating in a cave, utterly unaware of the events happening at the Tang Sect stronghold.
This was one downside to excessively concealing his identity—only he could find the Heaven-Breaking Army, while they couldn't find him.
However, it was also the most secure way.
If others could find him at any ti, he could potentially fall into the dangers of ambushes.
Currently, Li Xuanji was still compliant, but if it involved interests, no one could guarantee Li Xuanji wouldn't suddenly turn against him in the future.
Moreover, there's that mysterious master of Li Xuanji's, which always remained puzzling to him.
He continued cultivating in the cave until the evening, ventured to several small towns, ate a few als, and then continued cultivating.
After another hour and a half of cultivation, he switched back to loose scholar's attire, tied his hair, and headed back to Jiannan Prefecture City.
Upon passing the city wall, he noticed the mark on the wall.
'What's the matter with the Heaven-Breaking Army?'
With this question in his mind, he imdiately turned, going to a secluded place, and with full effort, used Lightweight Skill, rushing towards the mountain cave where his items were hidden.
He changed into black martial attire, built up his Qi Blood to increase his height and broaden his shoulders.
He donned the Rakshasa Mask, let his hair down, and put on a cloak.
Imdiately, with full effort, using Lightweight Skill, he leaped out of the cave, heading towards Jiannan Prefecture City.
Upon entering Jiannan Prefecture City, he headed straight for the Heaven-Breaking Army's estate in Jiannan Prefecture.
He didn't even go through the main gate, jumping directly over the wall.
The soldiers guarding the estate felt only a gust of wind before a figure appeared before them.
These soldiers couldn't help but tense up with a sense of alarm, instinctively pointing their spears at Su Que.
"Bring out your leader," ca a rough, emotionless voice from beneath Su Que's mask.
