Jin Xiao Feng frowned and shouted in a low voice, "What are you panicking for, a few people dying in such a panic, how can this be a big matter?"

The person knelt on the ground with an extremely ugly expression, "Yes, this lowly one deserves to die, please forgive me."

Yue Chanjuan lifted the curtains. "Tell me in detail, what happened?"

"I'm not too sure either. I've been approaching the fog for dozens of people, but as soon as I got close, my vision was limited. Very soon, someone disappeared. In the thick fog, the little fellow heard the message from his comrade in front, and decided not to move forward or back off. After that, those people became completely silent. "

The spies kneeling on the ground were trembling slightly. They weren't afraid of death, they were all warriors who had been through hundreds of battles. Otherwise, Jin Xiao Feng wouldn't have let them go and scout out ahead.

"Did you find anything?"

"The fog is too thick, so I can only use my signal to communicate and can't see what is happening. I also don't know what happened to my companions who went with me to scout the place. After receiving their signal, the little person contacted them again. However, there was no sound at all, no reply. This lowly one is afraid of delaying matters, I can only go back and report. "

"If that's the case, then they are either dead or captured alive by the people from Xumi Temple."

"Reporting to Princess, this little one definitely isn't being captured alive, because this little one didn't hear any sounds of fighting. It seems like they just silently and quickly sent back a message and disappeared into the thick fog. This little one can only go back the way I came from. This little one is useless.

"It has nothing to do with you. Have you ever encountered anything strange, or made any other discoveries?"

"To reply Princess, the fog is too thick and the road is too rough. However, along the way, my companions have all disappeared without a trace. "

"Jin Xiao Feng, send this person to lead the way, and send a team to scout the way. This time, we have asked them to use a rope to contact each other. If there is anything strange with the person in front, we will use a rope to pull him back and see if we can find anything. "

"Yes, this subject will immediately arrange for a few people to scout the way. Princess, there is no need to worry. As long as the Xumi Clan is hidden here, they will not be able to escape. "

Yue Chanjuan nodded her head. Even if they couldn't find the path to the secret location of the Xumi Temple, if they used the army to block all the paths and catch a turtle in a jar, the Xumi Clan would not be able to escape.

However, she hoped to find the secret location of the Sumeru Conclave. Who knew if there were any secret passages that led to a place she didn't know of?

"Jin Xiao Feng, send some men to walk further, inspect the roads and movements in the vicinity of a hundred miles, keeping a close watch on all the tunnels, to see if anything is amiss."

"Princess, you've thought it through carefully. This way, the Summoner is under your control. There's no way for you to escape."

"We can't not be on guard either. Xumi has been in the Western Regions for such a long time, but who knows if there are other secret passages in the Xumi Temple that lead to other places. The nearby roads must not only be tightly guarded, but also guarded in the surrounding mountains and must be closely monitored."

"Yes, please rest assured your highness, this subject will definitely arrange everything so that no one from the Xumi Clan can escape."

Jin Xiaofeng's expression was cold. The Da Yue branch had sent out 6,000 elite troops to surround the Xumi Temple this time. Under the leadership of Princess Wuyou, they had finally found the secret location of the Xumi, if they let Xumi escape this time, then where would the face of the Da Yue branch be?

He was well aware of how important this mission was. He knew how much Prince Xian of the Left valued him for handing over such an important task to him. If he could capture the Xumi race and capture them, then not only would he be highly valued by Prince Xian of the Left, but he would also become a powerful general under the command of King Xian of the Left.

Yue Chanjuan opened the car window and gazed at the faintly discernible fog. She had finally approached the secret location of the Sumeru Concealing Tower. Her efforts had not been in vain.

"General …"

The pathfinders finally returned, their bodies battered and exhausted. Fortunately, their losses this time around were relatively small, and they were able to somewhat understand the mysteriousness of the path in the fog.

Some were covered in mud, others were covered in dust and grass, and some were injured.

"What's in the fog?"

Jin Xiao Feng frowned, looking at the two embarrassed pathfinders, they both walked into the dense fog, in order not to alarm the people in the Xumi Temple, and also to find a better path.

"General, I have marked the path we have taken. There is a swamp in the fog, and it was the swamp that took the life of the last pathfinder."

"No wonder they didn't make any movements. So they encountered a swamp, but how could there be a swamp here?"

Jin Xiao Feng felt strange. This place was originally a snow-capped mountain, a snow-capped mountain on the plateau. The kind of swamp that would only appear in the south, the legendary south of the Central Plains, why would it appear here?

"General, there are still some strange animals in the swamp that can hurt people. A few brothers were hurt by those monsters" laughed Luo Feng.

"What animal is it?" Is it a snake? "

Yue Chanjuan asked.

"Yes, how did the princess know it was a snake? But it's not just snakes, there's something else too. It's just that we can't see them clearly from the thick fog. The monsters in the swamp moved very quickly.

"Jin Xiao Feng, you sent a few men to scout the way, but you only came back two ways."

"This official has sent four men to scout the way, but the other two have yet to return."

"You guys met a swamp along the way, what did you encounter on the other side?"

"Princess, your subjects encountered some twists and turns without an end. In the end, the rope wasn't long enough, so as I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find my way back, I followed the rope and returned to this place."

"Let's wait a little longer and see what the other two paths encounter."

Yue Chanjuan let the carriage continue onward, and only stopped when it was almost at the edge of the fog. The road ahead was covered in fog, and a thin layer of fog came from the surroundings, covering Yue Chanjuan's carriage in a layer of fog.

Yue Chanjuan stepped down from the carriage. Within the thick fog, there was definitely a secret passage that led to the secret location of the Xumi Clan. However, no one knew where this passage lead to. This was because she had entered the secret grounds while sitting in a carriage. This meant that the path wasn't narrow and urgent. At the very least, she could allow the carriage to pass through.

Where was such a path?

Yue Chanjuan's gaze seemed to have already penetrated through the thick fog, seeing a faint path ahead. She closed her eyes and tried to remember the route the carriage had taken. Yes, it was here, in this fog.

"General, the people who went to scout the other two paths did not come back, nor did they receive any news. I've sent word, but there's no response. I'm afraid …"

Jin Xiao Feng pursed his lips, looking at the endless fog.

Yue Chanjuan shut her eyes tightly, walking into the dense fog. Jin Xiaofeng couldn't help but stretch out his hand, but he didn't dare to touch the corner of her clothes.
