In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

Usually, such fate tokens contain a trace of the contractor's aura.

It can be used not only for communication but also for long-distance calls.

Moreover, it can monitor the life and death of contractors at all times.

Once the life token is broken, it means that the person bound by the token has died!

now.

The outcome of the Third Elder's life tablet shattering is self-evident!

"Hmph! Lu Yuan, I'll remember this grudge!"

"Let me catch you, and I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The Third Elder was furious, his face contorted with rage.

The loss of face is only one aspect of the matter, as his own disciple was killed.

The second point is what really angered him.

The Sword Inquiry Sect has always had a rule that disciples who have achieved mastery must offer tribute to their master for a hundred years.

His disciple had just been promoted to Martial King.

The tribute from a King Wu is a considerable amount of supplies!

If you die, then you're gone!

Enraged, the Third Elder unleashed a surge of spiritual energy from his palm, crushing the life tablet in his hand into powder.

aside.

The leading elder had an indifferent expression.

Even upon hearing of the death of a disciple from his own sect, his expression remained unchanged.

"Third Elder, don't get angry."

"Once we capture Lu Yuan, we'll definitely hand him over to you for proper processing!"

"Now that the sect leader has asked us to support the Great Zhou Imperial Guards, we should not miss the appointed time."

"it is good!"

The Third Elder gritted his teeth and nodded helplessly.

The sect leader gave the order personally, and he dared not disobey!

......

The speed at which sword cultivators fly on their swords is undeniably fast.

Traveling thousands of miles a day is no problem at all.

Because the scout disciples were captured and killed by Lu Yuan, this group of sword cultivators decided to take a detour to Beiyang City to take a look.

When the group of sword cultivators arrived in Beiyang City, they were surprised to find...

Beiyang City is completely empty!

The military camp was empty, the city gates were wide open, and the city walls were deserted.

Where is the trace of the army?

The crowd looked at each other.

Wasn't it said that Lu Yuan's army was stationed in Beiyang City?

What about people?

.......

"Huh? Where is Lu Yuan's army in Beiyang City?"

A group of sword cultivators from the Sword Inquiry Sect were completely dumbfounded.

"Wait a moment, I'll go grab someone and ask them."

One of them, with a goatee, said calmly.

Immediately, they grabbed an old man who was passing by.

"Gurgle...who...are you?"

The old man looked at the group of high-ranking cultivators with fear and trepidation.

"Old man, don't be afraid, we are cultivators from the Sword Inquiry Sect, a reputable and righteous sect!"

"I would never hurt you!"

"I'd like to ask you, where is the army that was previously visible in Beiyang City?"

Seeing that these people genuinely didn't intend to harm him.

The old man's fearful expression finally subsided slightly.

"Oh, you mean that large army? They set off half an incense stick ago!"

"Unfortunately, it's too late..."

Upon hearing this, one of the sword cultivators sighed.

However, now that Lu Yuan has left, they should also set off.

We must reach Bingzhou and support the Great Zhou Imperial Guards before Lu Yuan's army arrives!

But when everyone was about to leave...

Someone, without saying a word, asked another question.

"Old man, do you know which direction that army went?"

As a result, the old man spoke in a garrulous manner:

"Oh dear, it seems they left through the north gate, right? Then they must have headed north!"

"You have no idea, when those cavalrymen galloped around, the sight was so impressive, I thought the earth had turned upside down!"

"And those soldiers were extremely serious, not uttering a sound, like ghost soldiers..."

The old man continued muttering.

However, the members of the Sword Inquiry Sect exchanged glances and keenly sensed that something was amiss.

"north....?"

"Wait a minute? Isn't Bingzhou in the south?"

Why is Lu Yuan's army heading north?

An elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect frowned.

"Old man, are you sure those large armies headed north?"

The old man curled his lip:

"Heh heh, how could I dare go out and watch those soldiers marching!"

"However, I'm certain they went out through the north gate."

"If they went north, you'll find out by chasing after them."

......

really.

Based on the old man's conversation, the sword cultivators of the Sword Inquiry Sect began their exploration to the north.
