Chapter 273: Shock and Return to the City

Two days passed in silence. No matter how Wu Yan explained and apologized to Hu Ruyan, Hu Ruyan never said a word to Wu Yan.

In desperation, Wu Yan simply stopped talking. He surveyed the surroundings from time to time, and then sat aside to think hard. The array method inherited in the Baoxiao Sect is actually very extensive and exquisite. Unfortunately, Wu Yan has never had time to study it.

Now that he needs to use it, although it may be suspected of cramming, he still sorted out the array knowledge inherited by the Baoxiao Sect in his sea of ​​consciousness, trying to find a way to crack the Fengyun Locking Smoke Array.

However, his approach seems a bit ridiculous. For a cultivator who has a rough understanding of the array, it is simply a foolish dream to want to learn how to crack the array in a few days. Even if the detailed method of cracking the array is placed in front of him, it is impossible to do it.

Wu Yan did this just to reduce his embarrassing situation.

A few days passed unknowingly, and no one knew what Zhu Junhao, Bai Pengzhi, Hu Yang and others were doing. No one came here to check.

Five or six days passed in a row. On this day, Wu Yan was feeling depressed and wanted to sort out the storage bags he had harvested during this period. Unexpectedly, the magic circle was suddenly broken from the outside.

Wu Yan and Hu Ruyan took out their magic weapons vigilantly at the moment the magic circle was broken, and stood back to back in a defensive posture in the open space.

The gray fog dissipated, and a six-foot-long black tall thin dog was seen standing not far away, tilting its head and looking at the two people with a human-like smile.

Hu Ruyan looked at the thin dog in doubt, and then looked at Wu Yan. Strangely, she suddenly put away the magic weapon the next moment, turned around and fled down the mountain at a high speed, without even saying hello to Wu Yan.

Wu Yan pinched his ears in frustration, and looked at the place where Hu Ruyan disappeared, feeling lost.

"Little bragging, it's useless to look, people have run away." The tall black dog spoke in human language.

"Senior Tan Lang, are you really a dog?" Wu Yan smiled bitterly, then shook his head and looked at the dog in front of him strangely and asked.

"Nonsense, didn't I tell you a long time ago? Well, don't be suspicious. Hurry up and put me in the blue ox bag and leave here. In the past few days, I have heard that there seems to be a huge change in Jialou City outside, and the battle assessment has been forcibly stopped. I guess that this change must be caused by you taking away the heart of Garuda and the dragon soul with the furnace of heaven and earth that day. Take this opportunity to leave here quickly and return to the mountains of ten thousand beasts to hide, so as not to be involved in unnecessary troubles and lose your life." The problem of King Tan Lang's chattering is still there. Fortunately, he seemed to have no ill will towards Wu Yan, so he took back his clone, and after successfully condensing it, he came to solve the Sealing Cloud and Locking Smoke Array here to help Wu Yan and the others escape.

"The battle assessment was forced to stop? What about Zhu Junhao and Bai Peng? Are they still in the Devil Valley?" Wu Yan frowned.

"They were called out by a message a few days ago. When you came in, didn't they give you a demon-transforming talisman? This king has carefully looked at it, and the demon-transforming talisman is actually a teleportation talisman that can be teleported out." Greedy Wolf King said to Wu Yan.

After Greedy Wolf King's clone was successfully condensed, when he came out, he happened to meet Bai Peng who had returned here. Bai Peng was planning to come here to see what was going on in the Sealing Cloud and Locking Smoke Array, but unexpectedly, he received a message talisman from outside the Devil Valley.

After learning what was said in the talisman, Bai Peng was so surprised that he didn't even care about the Sealing Cloud and Locking Smoke Array, and immediately returned to the North Camp.

King Tanlang was very suspicious about this, so he followed to find out. From the conversation between Bai Peng and Zhi Huyang, King Tanlang learned that Tianjian Mountain had undergone a change a few days ago, and now all the Yuanying old monsters from all directions, whether good or evil, are gathering here.

Zhu Junjie was leading thousands of ghost commanders to fight against the Futu Demon Palace in Donghuang County at this time, and he could not return to defend for a while. In order to prevent any changes, Marshal Zhu of the Demon Mansion handed over all matters to Marshal Bai Mo to handle, and he personally returned from Zhenxie Valley to Jialou City to take charge, and hurriedly recruited demon and demon troops from Sanchuan Prefecture to garrison Jialou City.

Even so, the strength was still insufficient for a while. Marshal Zhu learned that the demon general assessment was being carried out in the Devil Valley, and immediately ordered to suspend the assessment, promoted two people to serve as demon generals and demon generals at the same time, recruited reserve soldiers, and garrisoned Jialou City Tianjian Pass.

Bai Peng led his men to leave the Devil Valley that day, while Zhu Junhao searched the valley for two days but still could not find any trace of Wu Yan and Hu Ruyan, so he left unhappily.

After Tan Lang surveyed the valley for several days, he roughly guessed some clues, and then he broke the Fengyun Locking Smoke Formation that sealed the two people.

After learning these things, Wu Yan did not rush to leave this place, but patted the spirit beast bag and released several swallowing insects. Then he sat cross-legged on the Diamond Mountain, as if waiting for something.

The Greedy Wolf King seemed to have guessed Wu Yan's plan, so he crouched down beside him and said, "Your master is a man of loyalty. Before he left, he found excuses to leave the North Camp several times and searched for you all over the valley. It's a pity that the concealment ability of the Sealing Clouds and Smoke Array is very strong, so he couldn't find you. When he left, he left the remaining Sky-Swallowing Worms behind."

Sure enough, not long after, more than a dozen Sky-Swallowing Worms returned to Wu Yan from all directions.

Wu Yan counted them, and there were 110 Sky Devouring Worms, all of which were in the spirit beast bag. He summoned the eight Sky Devouring Worms that he had left for Master Jin and released, and after taking back the spiritual consciousness attached to them, Wu Yan closed his eyes and checked them.

After a moment, Wu Yan's expression changed slightly and he opened his eyes and looked at Tan Lang.

"What's wrong?" Tan Lang asked immediately when he saw Wu Yan looking at him.

"My master said that Jialou City will soon be closed and sealed off, and asked me to get out and leave quickly after getting the news, otherwise once the city is closed, I don't know when I can return to Shanbei Zhongyuan." Wu Yan frowned.

"Then hurry up! If you are trapped in Sanchuan Prefecture, it will be dangerous. Don't forget that you have offended Bai Peng badly because of this battle assessment. If he gets fussy, he will definitely come up with all kinds of conspiracies to deal with you!" Tan Lang urged anxiously on the side.

Seeing his attitude, Wu Yan looked at King Tan Lang suspiciously. This old guy has lived for who knows how many years, and he would never be afraid of a younger boy, even if he has a strong power behind him. Seeing that he is so anxious, he must be thinking about the things collected by the Heaven and Earth Furnace in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He probably also knows that in such an unsafe place here, he will never think of taking out the Heaven and Earth Furnace. If he wants to get the Heart of Garuda, he must find an absolutely safe place first.

"Okay, let's go now. But I don't know if Miss Ruyan has already known that the battle assessment was forced to end. If she..." Wu Yan looked at the South Camp and said with some concern.

"This king saw clearly just now that she was heading towards the South Camp. If you chase her now, you may still have time to catch up with her." Tan Lang said anxiously.

Wu Yan's face lit up immediately, and then he sacrificed the Green Ox Bag and aimed it at the Greedy Wolf King. With a flash of green light, the Greedy Wolf King disappeared from the spot and was put into the Green Ox Bag.

After Wu Yan put away the Green Ox Bag, he immediately ran down the mountain.

Half an hour later, Wu Yan had arrived outside the South Camp. But he seemed to be late, Hu Ruyan was not here.

After searching around for several times, Wu Yan finally saw a few lines of writing carved on the ground outside the teleportation formation. It was left by Zhu Junhao, and the general idea was to let Hu Ruyan and Wu Yan, who saw this text, activate the power of the demon-transforming talisman and go out of the teleportation formation to find him.

After reading these words, Wu Yan no longer hesitated. Standing in the formation, he took out the demon-transforming talisman and injected a stream of magic power into it, and saw a black light suddenly descending from the magic cloud above, covering it.

In a moment, Wu Yan experienced the dizziness and discomfort again. When he opened his eyes, Wu Yan found that he was outside the Devil Valley and appeared in front of an empty camp.

This was the gathering place before entering the Devil Valley that day, the reserve army camp of the Duwei Army. At this time, the camp was empty. Obviously, the reserve army demon soldiers and demon soldiers stationed here had been recruited to guard Jialou City.

After scanning the surroundings, Wu Yan immediately tidied up and flew to Jialou City without hesitation.

Arriving in the city, Wu Yan entered the Zhu Mansion with ease.

Coincidentally, Zhu Junhao was in the mansion at this time. Hearing the servants report that Wu Yan had returned, Zhu Junhao was overjoyed and immediately arranged for someone to take Wu Yan to the meeting hall.

The two met with different emotions. However, Wu Yan could see that Zhu Junhao's face was rosy and bright, and his mood was high, obviously because he was reused. On the other hand, Wu Yan looked depressed.

"Brother Wu, this is the reward that Zhu promised before." Zhu Junhao immediately took out two storage bags and placed them on the table in front of Wu Yan.

Wu Yan hesitated for a moment, but did not take it. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, it seems that I have not helped you win yet. This reward..."

"Hahaha, Brother Wu, although I have not won, I have become a demon general now. Hahaha, I will not accept any assessment in the future. Since the original goal has been achieved, you have naturally fulfilled the agreed promise. These rewards should be accepted." Zhu Junhao looked at Wu Yan meaningfully and said with a smile, "If you don't accept it, and this matter is spread out, won't outsiders say that Zhu is untrustworthy and stingy?"

Wu Yan's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhu is right, then I will accept it."

As he said that, Wu Yan slightly opened the two storage bags, quickly scanned them with his spiritual sense, and then put away the two storage bags with a calm face.

"Mr. Zhu, I wonder if Miss Ruyan has returned?" After Wu Yan put away the storage bag, he thought of Hu Ruyan and asked casually.
