Faint moonlight, filtering through the branches of trees in the mountains, leaves faint patches of weak light on the mountain terrain.

  Teng Qing Shan hid in the withered yellow weeds, gazing through the gaps at the snow eagles soaring high in the sky.

  "The Snow Eagle is a ferocious beast, its eagle eyes are extremely frightening! Even if I'm in the mountains and forests... as long as I'm not careful, once I step out from behind cover. Or walk under sparse tree branches, those Snow Eagles will likely discover me." Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow, thinking rapidly. It's now the harsh winter!

  In the mountains, most of the trees have no leaves on their branches, only a few plants and trees still have branches and leaves.

  If a big tree has no leaves, walking under the big tree, Snow Eagle can find it if he notices this piece.

  "Just in case, let's find a place to bury this 'Spirit of the North Sea' first." With his mind made up, Teng Qing Shan quietly moved forward in the mountain forest, trying to stay close to dense vegetation. If he encountered any open spaces, he would quickly dash across them! Reducing the possibility of being discovered.

  Following this method, Teng Qing Shan turned around and walked two more miles into the mountains.

  "Ah, the crooked-neck tree, just this one!" Teng Qing Shan looked at the dense trees in front of him and smiled slightly. This place was where the Teng family manor's hunting team would often rest during their hunts back in the day. Teng Qing Shan walked up to one of the crooked-neck trees, brushed aside the withered yellow leaves, and quickly dug out a hole about two zhang deep, which made it even safer. Afterwards, he carefully placed the rock wine jar inside.

  Then quickly fill the pit with mud and trample it. Spread a layer of surface sand to cover up any signs of digging. Finally, cover this place with withered yellow fallen leaves.

  "Dahyun Mountain is so big, if it's like this, you'll all find it, that's when you've seen a ghost." Teng Qing Shan smiled and quickly flew away.

  This Da Yan Mountain, Teng Qing Shan has come too many times already.

  He knew that where there were lush plants, he chose the road and it was easier to hide. The five snow eagles circling in the sky above Dayan Mountain also did not find any trace of Teng Qing Shan.

  "Hurry up, everyone! Take a closer look. Teng Qing Shan is wearing tattered clothes, has a large axe and a long spear. Everyone take a good look."

  A harsh and severe voice came from afar.

  Teng Qing Shan hid behind a tree root and gazed into the distance.

  One by one, the silver armor soldiers held burning torches and searched everywhere. The long guns in their hands occasionally poked into places with dense weeds where people could hide. This sweeping search did not miss any possible hiding place.

  "This Qinghu Island is indeed unwilling to give up..." Teng Qing Shan sneered.

  Qinghu Island suffered such a great loss this time, if they can swallow their pride that would be a miracle! If they could snatch back the two Tripod Cauldrons from Beihai's Spirit, then Qinghu Island's experts might barely balance out. However, even if they got the two Tripod Cauldrons, they still wouldn't be satisfied! After all, in their eyes... all nine Tripod Cauldrons should belong to them.

  "But now there's some trouble. There are a large number of Silver Serpent Army soldiers searching frantically inside the mountain, and in the sky, there are also five Snow Eagles!" Teng Qing Shan was also getting a headache.

  Gritting one's teeth!

  Hong Qingshan immediately fled far away.

  ……

  High in the vast expanse of the sky above Mount Da Yan, five Snow Eagles were flying in a circle. Three of them had people sitting on their backs.

  "Master, we've been searching for so long and still haven't found that Teng Qing Shan. Could it be... that he's still hiding in the underground lake?" The black bear looked at the old man with a hooked nose wearing a fur hat on the back of the snowy eagle, who replied indifferently: "For over a thousand years, Qing Hu Island has never suffered such a great loss! If the enemy is strong, it's tolerable, but a 17-year-old kid made them suffer such a crushing defeat. It's strange if Qing Hu Island doesn't go mad! When the time comes, more than 100,000 troops will cover the entire Da Yan Mountain. They will turn over every inch of Da Yan Mountain and explore every bottomless cave. Unless Teng Qing Shan is really hiding in the underground lake all along, otherwise... he will definitely not be able to escape!"

  "Uh-huh."

  No one will suspect this.

  The nine states and eight great sects, which one is easy to bully?

  Got the treasure map, but lost eight congenital strongmen, and not a single treasure was obtained. The most fatal thing is that the one who secretly caused all this is just a seventeen-year-old boy. This is a joke! A joke of Qinghu Island! If Teng Qingshan doesn't die for a day, Qinghu Island will probably be ridiculed by people forever!

  ……

  In the depths of the vast and dark Taihang Mountains, a deep pit was dug, where the Heaven-Cleaving Axe was placed by Teng Qing Shan.

  "I was also wearing heavy armor and a helmet with a face mask during the Battle of Yanjiang City. Very few people within Qinghu Island have actually seen my true appearance. Now, they're just relying on drawings, as well as my attire and weapons to find me. This Kaisan Divine Axe... is too eye-catching! I'm afraid that even within the Black Armor Army, there aren't many axes this large."

  Teng Qing Shan wasn't worried about the Wheel of Reincarnation Gun.

  The long spear is a standard military weapon. There are too many people with long spears.

  "Mixed back into the Black Armor Army, wearing armor again, among thousands of people. I'm one of them... just like Snow Eagle, and can't tell what's different between me and other humans." Teng Qing Shan had no other choice, he could feel it... this time on Qing Hu Island, he absolutely wouldn't give up easily.

  So, hiding in the Great Yan Mountain, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.

  "You go over there, Second Brother, you go west."

  "Whoever finds Mount Qing first will get 10,000 taels of gold and become the leader. Everyone is watching."

  Another group of soldiers holding torches dispersed and swept away.

  "It's no good, the Silver Snake Army soldiers are getting more and more numerous. If I get trapped in a dense crowd like this, there will be nowhere to escape!" Teng Qing Shan thought for a moment, then nodded secretly to himself, "It's settled then!" Teng Qing Shan picked up a large pile of stones from the ground, his eyes scanning over the group of people.

  Tseng Ching-shan immediately retreated and hid, yielding to this wave of searching soldiers.

  A moment——

  Teng Qing Shan finally found his target - a search party of only six people. This was one of the smaller parties Teng Qing Shan had discovered recently.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  Three sharp stones shot through the foreheads of three people on the west side in the dark night, bursting half a skull shell, without even shouting, these three people fell down with a crash.

  "What's going on over there?" The commotion also caught the attention of others, and other soldiers raised their torches to take a look in that direction.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  Three more stones, shooting through the foreheads of three people again!

  As a congenital strongman, he can control the stone to turn around, with Qing Shan's hand method, if it still doesn't hit accurately, that would be strange.

  "Hmph..." Teng Qing Shan's mouth curled up into a cold smile as he quickly left.

  Before long, a search party passed by, and one of the soldiers' faces changed greatly when he saw the two corpses that were closer.

  "Quick, come over!!!"

  Other soldiers rushed over immediately and soon discovered four more bodies.

  "It's a hidden weapon!"

  "When Yanjiang City was attacked, someone used hidden weapons to kill a large number of Jinlin Guards."

  "Shao Island Master said that Qin Lang, also known as Teng Qing Shan, was skilled in hidden weapons and flying knives. This blood is still warm, he must have just left."

  "Surround the troops, this way!" The sergeant of the search team shouted immediately, instantly causing many soldiers within a few miles to quickly gather around. When these soldiers found the six corpses, they were overjoyed one by one. Finally, Teng Qing Shan's trail was discovered!

  At once, under the order, a large number of troops rushed to this area, taking the dead body as the center and carefully searching the surrounding twenty-mile area.

  ……

  "Looking for me?" At the time when the search team was gathering other soldiers, Teng Qing Shan had already arrived ten miles away. Killing those six people was purely intentional on Teng Qing Shan's part. This way, more soldiers would be attracted to that area and reduce the number of searching troops in other areas.

  So he killed six people and Teng Qing Shan fled at top speed, desperately escaping that area.

  Thus, Teng Qing Shan can more easily sneak back into the Black Armor Army.

  "It's just ahead."

  Teng Qing Shan saw the high-standing military flag, which was the great flag of the Black Armor Army. Along the edge of the Black Armor Army's large army, Teng Qing Shan quietly walked for a while, looking for familiar faces. In the Black Armor Army, there were still many people that Teng Qing Shan knew, and soon he saw one.

  "Whoosh!"

  Teng Qing Shan was like a sharp arrow, suddenly shooting out from the bushes beside the military camp and rushing towards the military camp.

  "Who?" Tian Dan, who was sitting beside the military tent, looked over.

  "It's me." Teng Qing Shan said in a low voice.

  "Commander." Tian Dan was overjoyed, when he came out of the Chunqing Mountains as a hundred-man commander, Tian Dan was already a hundred-man commander, and Teng Qing Shan was also under the command of Bai Ze. After Bai Ze's defeat, Tian Dan became even more subordinate to Teng Qing Shan. The two had a very deep friendship.

  "Let's go, we'll talk again in the tent." Teng Qing Shan said quietly, "Don't spread the word about me coming back."

  "Alright." Tian Dan nodded and immediately led Teng Qing Shan into an empty military tent.

  In the military tent, Teng Qing Shan casually picked up a set of clothes and immediately changed into them.

  "Tian Lao Ge, go help me find an extra set of heavy armor." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "This time to Danyang Mountain, the round-trip time is not too long, and I didn't bring many things. I don't know if other hundred-man teams have any spare heavy armor." Tian Dan said, "I'll go now."

  "And also, get Qing Hu to come over." Teng Qing Shan said, "Remember, the news I brought, don't tell anyone else besides you and Qing Hu!" To mix in with the Black Armor Army and go back... The best method is not just to deceive others. It's also necessary to deceive one's own people.

  So as not to reveal one's intentions.

  "Alright." Tian nodded and said.

  Hong Qing Shan let out a silent sigh of relief inside the military tent. Even if Snow Eagle was extremely powerful, he would not be able to see him through the tent now. When the time came, he would put on his heavy armor and helmet with a face mask, and blend in among the three thousand people; who could recognize him?

  Heng Qinghu and Tian Dan were in the same camp, and Qinghu arrived soon after.

  "Green Mountain." Qing Hu rushed in, his face immediately filled with wild joy, and he hugged Tan Qing Shan tightly.

  "Brother, this is not a time for joy," Teng Qing Shan said in a low voice. "I'm going to tell you something now, and you must remember it clearly."

  "Speak." Qing Hu immediately listened carefully.

  "We used to rest in a thicket near the stream when we went hunting at Dayan Mountain back in our hometown, don't you remember?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  "Of course I remember, we entered the mountain ten times and more than half of them rested there." Qing Hu said, "There is also a crooked neck tree."

  "Alright, that crooked-neck tree, three feet north of the crooked-neck tree, two zhang deep underground, a wine jar is buried. Inside the wine jar is treasure... When we return to Yuanzong and Qinghu Island and they stop fighting, when we retreat, you quietly tell my master." Teng Qing Shan instructed.

  "Skewed neck tree, three feet north, two zhang underground? Okay, easy to remember." Qing Hu nodded repeatedly, "Qing Shan, why didn't you go tell the sect leader? Also, Qing girl has been worried about you."

  "I'd better not show up for the time being. The news I brought, only you and Tian Dan know about it. No one else knows... Remember, don't spread it around, and don't tell Qingqing either." Teng Qingshan said solemnly.

  "Hmm." Qinghu nodded.

  Just then, Tian Dan walked in from outside the military tent, carrying a sack.

  "Commander, there's a set of heavy armor here, ordinary soldier's heavy armor, but slightly smaller." Tian Dan said, Teng Qing Shan smiled: "No problem!" He was originally going to make some slight changes to his body shape and then do some slight 'makeup'. No human skin mask, can only do this.
