There were mixed feelings in his heart. According to Xiao Ze's understanding of the entire Eastern Holy State, this ravine was called Huangyou Gorge, implying the protection of the Holy Emperor. It was the dividing point between the Zixiao Dynasty and the Qiuli Dynasty, a long time ago.

, when the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou was still in war, Huangyou Que was the Zixiao Dynasty's natural barrier against foreign enemies. Even though it was now a time of peace, Huangyou Que still had a large number of border guards stationed there.

Huangyou Que is the top priority of the entire Zixiao Dynasty's national defense. There are a large number of troops stationed here, including many masters. Even some powerful practitioners dare not run wild here and want to enter Zixiao through Huangyou Que.

In the Xiao Dynasty, the only way for ordinary people was to use a suspension bridge on the Huangyou Gorge.

This suspension bridge was built at a huge cost by the Zixiao Dynasty after the war period in order to facilitate communication with the Qiuli Dynasty. This is the only place in the entire Huangyou Gorge that people can pass through. Here,

The troops of the Zixiao Dynasty are very strictly guarded. The entire Huangyou Que is within the monitoring range of the garrison. If a cultivator rides a bird mount and secretly enters the Zixiao Dynasty from other places, he will be blocked by the Huangyou Que garrison. Even if

Pedestrians passing on the suspension bridge must be checked before being allowed to pass, even practitioners.

Here, no one dares to challenge the majesty of the Zixiao Dynasty. Even cultivators with strong cultivation levels dare not break into the Huangyou Cut. If you want to pass here, you must go through the inspection of the Zixiao Dynasty border defense, even if you are flying.

After arriving here, the mount will have to descend from the sky and must be inspected before it can pass here. Otherwise, it will be attacked by the crossbow army in the border defense. Under thousands of crossbows and hard bows,

Even fifth-level spiritual beasts can be shot down.

Under such a powerful formation, no one dares to break through, otherwise it will be a provocation to the Zixiao Dynasty, and they will be mercilessly bombarded. Although the Zixiao Dynasty is only a dynasty, the overall strength of the country is that of the five major dynasties.

The strongest among them, the strength is close to that of the three great dynasties. Some highly skilled cultivators will actively cooperate with border inspections when they arrive here to show respect for the Zixiao Dynasty.

Of course. If there are really powerful cultivators who want to pass through here, they will also receive preferential treatment from the troops stationed in Huangyouque. After a symbolic investigation, they will be released immediately without any obstruction. After all, the powerful cultivators are cultivating.

They all have a high reputation and status in the world. They can actively cooperate with the Zixiao Dynasty's border inspections. The Zixiao Dynasty naturally wants to give the other party some face.

Xiao Ze stood in the air with his flying sword, and from a distance he saw people coming and going on the suspension bridge of Huangyou Que. A large number of people lined up on the bridge, waiting for clearance from the border inspection of the Zixiao Dynasty.

A large number of soldiers were stationed around the suspension bridge, all of whom were elites from the Zixiao Dynasty's army. They were all full of murderous intent and inspected the passers-by very carefully.

Xiao Ze frowned. Now his identity is very special. Facing such strict investigations, it would be hard for him to just fall from the sky and have people check him. Otherwise, if someone recognizes him, he will face

With so many elite warriors behind him, he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Recalling that he had passed by this place more than four years ago, his parents wanted to send him to Jiutian Xuanqing Temple in the Zixiao Dynasty to practice Taoism. However, at that time, because Xiao Tianying and Chu Yunying were famous in the cultivation world,

They did not encounter the same difficulties as the border guards, and when they passed by here at that time, they were personally greeted by the commander of the border garrison.

However, things were different now. Now that he was going to pass through this place alone, he felt a little worried. After hesitating for a while, Xiao Ze decided not to go down. With the power of spiritual awareness surging, he flew into the sky again.

, wanting to sneak across from the sky.

Feeling extremely nervous, Xiao Ze flew carefully high in the sky, almost touching the clouds. He was afraid that flying too fast would attract the attention of the troops below, so he could only move forward slowly, looking at the densely packed troops below.

Bing, Xiao Ze's heart was in his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Who?"

Suddenly, a loud shout echoed in the Huangyou Gorge. The loud and loud voice was so loud that it made the mountains and rivers tremble. The sound was so strong that it was obvious that this person was extremely powerful. At the same time, a loud shout came from the Huangyou Gorge.

, countless soldiers turned their sights to the sky, and a large number of soldiers set up hundreds of ultra-tough crossbows specially designed for air defense, aiming their spearheads at Xiao Ze.

Above the sky, Xiao Ze was frightened to death. Each of the hundreds of anti-aircraft crossbows was as big as two houses. The crossbow swords used were thicker than the spears in the hands of the soldiers. These were all Zixiao's weapons.

Used by the dynasty's border defense army for air defense, it is specially used to deal with some powerful flying monsters or mounts. This anti-aircraft hard crossbow is extremely tough and made of extremely special materials. It can shoot a crossbow sword that is as big as a war spear up to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

, its power is unparalleled.

Fortunately, the soldiers set up the anti-aircraft crossbow and did not fire. Otherwise, Xiao Ze would have been shot into a sieve. The anti-aircraft crossbow of the Zixiao Dynasty can shoot to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and with Xiao Ze's current strength in wielding a sword,

Flying can only go up to about a thousand meters at most, and the pressure will become greater if it goes higher, which Xiao Ze cannot bear with his current strength.

Hundreds of anti-aircraft crossbows were collectively pulled apart by the soldiers. If the situation was not right, they would be fired at any time. Facing such a large formation, Xiao Ze's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. At this moment, he was flying a flying sword.

Staying in mid-air, not daring to make any moves.

"Who is that person in the sky? Come down quickly and cooperate with the border inspection, otherwise we will use our swords!" An officer who looked like an army leader walked up to the beacon tower and shouted sharply at Xiao Ze in the sky.

After hearing this, Xiao Ze didn't dare to resist. With so many anti-aircraft crossbows, even a Qi Refiner in the Condensation Realm could be shot through, let alone him. Resistance would be just seeking death. He could only control the flight obediently.

The sword slowly fell from the sky. During this period, the spearheads of hundreds of anti-aircraft crossbows were pointed at him. It was not until Xiao Ze fell to the ground and put away his take-off sword that those anti-aircraft crossbows were ordered by the officer.

, withdrew.

"Who are you, and why do you want to break into the Huangyou Gorge?" After Xiao Ze fell to the ground, a warrior dressed as an officer came over and surrounded Xiao Ze with a large number of soldiers. He looked at Xiao Ze,

His face was as sinking as water and he said coldly.

Xiao Ze's face suddenly became sweaty. Facing this officer's question, he really didn't know how to answer. After a long while, he stammered: "This... I am Jiutian Xuanqing Temple."

One of my disciples was practicing outside some time ago, and now I want to look back. Because I was in a hurry and didn't notice that I had flown to Huangyou Que. If there is any offense, please forgive me!"

"Jiutian Xuanqing Temple?" Hearing this, the officer frowned, then looked at the young face, and said with suspicion: "You said you are a disciple of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple, what evidence do you have?

?”

Xiao Ze frowned. Originally, he wanted to randomly fabricate an identity for himself so that he could be fooled, but it seemed that these border guards were not easy to fool. He continued: "Do you need evidence for this? I just said

What I am performing is flying with a sword, and the military master also knows that among the many sects in the world, only the Jiutian Xuanqinguan family has the authentic Taoist inheritance. If I were not a disciple of Jiutian Xuanqinguan, how could I be able to perform this exercise?

Sword art?"

After hearing Xiao Ze's explanation, the officer's expression became slightly softer, and he nodded and said, "That's what you said! Jiutian Xuanqing Temple is one of the top sects in our dynasty, and has always been with me.

We get along very well, since you are a disciple of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple, and what happened today was an unintentional mistake, then I can treat it as nothing happened!"

Looking at Xiao Ze, smiling slightly, the officer said: "Okay, you can leave!"

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" After hearing the officer's words, Xiao Ze's face suddenly flashed with joy. He quickly bowed his hands to the officer and left quickly. He originally thought that it would be impossible to leave so casually today.

However, he did not expect to be let go after pretending to be a disciple of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple.

After leaving Huangyou Cave, Xiao Ze wiped away a cold sweat. He originally thought that he was going to be doomed, but fortunately, he was safe in the end.

Poor Xiao Ze is still too immature. He doesn't understand many things now. He doesn't know how difficult it is for ordinary people to pass the border inspection of a dynasty, especially someone like him who has forced his way through the border in advance and has a lot of experience.

If people were not killed on the spot, it would be considered lucky. How could they be released casually? If ordinary people really passed the garrison inspection so easily, then it would be nothing but a joke for a dynasty to set up border inspections.

Looking at Xiao Ze's retreating figure, the officer who interrogated Xiao Ze gradually narrowed his eyes, and then waved to a soldier next to him and said: "Go and report to the commander, and tell him that there is a

The suspicious young man has just left Huangyou Que, and he is most likely the person the commander requested to pay attention to."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the soldier quickly left here.

Behind the garrison barracks in Huangyou Que, in a luxurious courtyard, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting quietly. On the table in front of him, there were a large number of secret military messages. This man

The middle-aged man is the garrison commander of Huangyou Que - Commander Liu. He controls all the military power of Huangyou Que and is responsible for garrisoning here all year round. Therefore, he also established a manor here.

"Commander, there is news from the front. A suspicious young man passed the Huangyou Pass. He is probably the person the commander ordered to pay attention to!" A soldier quickly walked into the manor and came to Commander Liu and said. (
