I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Everywhere you look, there are corpses.

Xie Zhiqiu and others quickly checked the entire team and found no one alive, and the branch hall master was nowhere to be found.

The target person was lost, but Xie Zhiqiu did not linger and immediately chose the nearest Jiao Temple.

When they arrived, it was still the same as the first Jiao Temple.

No one knew who destroyed the two Jiao Temples before them.

After a few days, they visited five Jiao Temples, and without exception, they were always one step late.

In addition, Xie Zhiqiu discovered that the five Jiao Temples were destroyed on the same day, and the masters of those temples were nowhere to be found.

Xie Zhiqiu suspected that Bai Jiao wanted to make things more difficult for them, so he sent people to deal with these branch halls.

Soon, this idea was overturned by Xie Zhiqiu.

There is no need for Bai Jiao to cut off his own arms. No matter how small an ant is, it is still meat, and no matter how weak a branch hall is, it is still a fighting force.

When Yinying came back with his men after gathering information, he looked depressed.

Xie Zhiqiu realized that he might not have found out any useful information.

As expected, Yinying reported: "Sister Qiu, we have inquired around, and there are only little demons nearby. They ran away when they felt danger. No one has seen who destroyed the branch temple."

"But there wasn't a big scene, and there wasn't any disturbance. Those people left not long after they arrived."

One of the people in the crowd continued Yin Ying's words and said, "I heard that there is an elite team in the main hall, the Jiao Ying team, which can fight against a hundred people alone. They are specialized in handling some secret matters for Jiao Shen, especially those who have ulterior motives."

When the others heard the words "Jiaoying Team", they were a little panicked for a moment.

"Why are you all so panicking?" Xie Zhiqiu's voice was low and he instantly quieted down.

They don't want to be dealt with before they even meet the Jiaoying team.

Xie Zhiqiu asked: "If they were really from the Jiaoying Team, why did they destroy the five branch halls at the same time? Why didn't they destroy you first?"

Is it just to prevent these branch hall masters from leaking secrets?

However, Xie Zhiqiu did not say this out loud, as she did not want her weapons to know too much.

No one could answer Xie Zhiqiu's question, and the team fell silent for a moment.

Xie Zhiqiu led a small team to the branch temple closest to Shixinlin, intending to destroy the branch temple and then return to report to Hei Jiao.

Xiangqiu was originally the plain closest to Shixinlin and had a flat location.

Looking from a high place, it seems that you can see the edge at a glance, but in fact, there are very few people who can overlook the Xiangqiu Plain.

This place cannot be flown over. No matter you are a bird or an animal or flying with a sword, once you enter the territory of Xiangqiu Plain, you can only rely on your own feet.

Except for the people in the Jiao Temple who have the secret method to fly low in the city, no one else can exceed this limit.

Because of this, there are almost no flying monsters and spiritual beasts in Xiangqiuyuan. After all, the restrictions of this place are too great.

The Jiao Temple is the most dominant one. Most people in Xiangqiuyuan will choose to join the Jiao Temple. In the later period, almost all of Xiangqiuyuan are members of the Jiao Temple.

Sometimes there would be a few people passing by, but very few would leave, as most would choose to join.

This was also the reason why Xie Zhiqiu was unwilling to choose this place.

Unfortunately, this is the last branch temple in the primeval forest, and it is also the largest and most powerful branch temple.

However, she had no intention of destroying the other party directly, she just came to gather information first.

Only after bringing the news back can we ask Black Dragon to take action.

Xie Zhiqiu brought a person who dressed up as a survivor of the Shih Hsin Lin Branch Hall, while Yinying brought people who dressed up as the people who were chasing them and pursued them all the way.

They started chasing the two people from the territory that had never entered Xiangqiuyuan.

The two men wore the uniforms of the managers of the Jiao Temple and dodged the pursuit all the way. They ran into the territory of Xiangqiuyuan and entered the sight of the city guards.

When he saw the city wall, he seemed to see hope and shouted for help.

Finally, when the two were about to be "beaten to death", the city defense team opened the city gate and came to rescue.

Before he fainted, Li Ye was still struggling to identify himself, "I am Li Ye, the head of the Shixinlin... branch hall... I have come to seek refuge..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Ye fainted.

The city guard Xie Zhiqiu and the other man found the token of the leader and presented it to their superiors.

Thinking it was about time, Li Ye woke up slowly, and Xie Zhiqiu also woke up.

When they were unconscious, the doctor came to see them and said with emotion: "If they had come a step later, they would have both died together."

As soon as the two woke up, they were taken to meet the Palace Master of Xiangqiuyuan.

As soon as he saw the palace master, Li Ye tearfully told him that Shi Xinlin had been murdered recently and the entire palace was destroyed, except for the two of them who escaped.

Li Ye became more and more excited as he spoke. He coughed wildly and passed out without catching his breath.

Fortunately, the doctor was there at any time and brought Li Ye back to life in time.

The first thing Li Ye did when he woke up was to express his gratitude: "We are lucky to have met you, Palace Master, and to have survived this time..."

"We are all one family, and we should help each other." The Palace Master continued to speak in official language.

He changed the subject and said hypocritically: "It's a pity that your Palace Master was betrayed by his subordinates. It's so pitiful..."

"I told him not to choose that place in the first place. That place conflicts with him, but he just wouldn't listen. Harm..."

It sounded like he was expressing his pity for the palace master's tragic fate.

Xie Zhiqiu could hear that this Palace Master didn't seem to get along well with the Palace Master of Shih Hsin Lin.

After asking the questions, the palace master told the two to have a good rest and stay with him without worry.

They were indeed relieved to live here, but the two of them felt no different from being prisoners.

Fortunately, there are two regular customers who come here frequently.

One was an old acquaintance of Li Ye, who occasionally came back to reminisce about the past, and he was also the one who brought them to meet the Palace Master.

The other one was the pharmacist. Xie Zhiqiu indirectly showed off some of his skills and his injuries recovered very quickly, which made the pharmacist very interested.

After she recovered, the pharmacist introduced her to the hall master.

Xie Zhiqiu tried his best to help the Palace Master solve his problems, and even took the initiative to mention the bad deeds of the "former Palace Master".

"I saved him out of kindness, but he dragged me into his branch temple and made me work like a slave for him."

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been hunted down..."

Every word of disparagement she made played right into the Palace Master's hands.

Her medical skills also made the palace master very satisfied.

Not long after, he received a reward from the palace master and was able to walk freely in Xiangqiu Plain.

While walking on the road, Xie Zhiqiu kept telling the guards beside him about the beauty of Xiangqiuyuan, and even lamented that he arrived too late.

Otherwise, there would be no need to suffer that kind of pain.

"Did she really say that?" Palace Master Ye Xiang fiddled with the fish food in his hand and scattered it into the pond.

"Yes, Palace Master." The guard replied respectfully.

"Okay, remove the people around her." Ye Xiang ordered.

The guards around her left, but Xie Zhiqiu still didn't dare to let her guard down, after all, someone was still watching her.

If she had not sensed the faint scent left by Wan Muchun on Ye Xiang when she met her that day, she might not have waited so long.

She had to gain Ye Xiang's trust and find out why Wan Muchun's aura remained on her.
