A month later, it was the season of lingering autumn rain. The sky was like a black cover, covering the roof of the longevity sect. The mountain road was covered with mud, mixed with foamy water, licking the roots of the trees beside the road, and winding along the ditch. And down.
The steaming scent of longevity incense floats out from the incense burner in the square in front of the longevity hall of longevity peak, mixing in the rain and mist.
In the incense burner, one of the incense sticks was broken, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Now the longevity sect has indeed reached its most serious moment.
It is even the most severe moment for the entire Northeastern region.
In just one month, the Nascent Souls in the Four Domains fought fiercely. After Jiang Jian, the second ancestor of Changshou, was severely injured in a surprise attack by Lingtian Sword Lord a month ago, Wu Shengyun, the ancestor of Yuanying of the Five Elements Dungeon Sect, also suffered heavy losses.
After that, Hualong Sect, Liuying Sect, and Yuan Ying ancestors were ambushed one after another, and dangers abounded.
Among the demon cultivators in the Western Region, although some of the Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Blood Demon Sect and the Moon Demon Sect were injured in the battle, the overall number of injured was still at a disadvantage in the Northeastern Region.
The fierce battle between the Yuanying monks of the Four Realms has reached this level, which seems to indicate that the final battle at the level of gods is about to begin.
In the longevity hall, the five golden elixir elders of the longevity sect gathered together to discuss the next development measures of the sect with the third ancestor Su Yanyan.
Su Yanyan listened to the suggestions put forward by several people, nodded slightly, and after looking around for a week, he calmly said, "Although you should not be too pessimistic, you should not be too optimistic either.
Judging from the current situation, the Five Elements Sword Lord of the Northern Territory, the Heavenly Crystal Dao Lord, and the Heavenly Demon of the Western Territory have all tested our reality. In the next round of offensive organized by the northwest two regions, these three Shenhua Dao Lords are likely to Will take action. "
Everyone felt awe-struck when they heard this. Guan Chao asked solemnly, "Third uncle, the first ancestor is this old man."
This is a relatively taboo topic, and almost no one dares to mention it these days, simply because the injury related to the first ancestor is a top secret in the sect and is a matter of particular concern to the enemy forces.
Zhu Guangbiao's betrayal some time ago also caused a special and sensitive atmosphere in the sect. Therefore, Zhu Guangbiao was imprisoned in the sect's restricted formation and had Changshou Xiang cut off.
The other Jindan elders in the sect also took this warning and kept as silent as a cicada. They seldom inquired about matters involving the secrets of the sect, just to avoid suspicion.
Su Yanyan shook his head and said, "No one knows the details of the first ancestor's injury except the first ancestor.
However, according to the reliable information obtained by the Hualong Sect, the Five Elements Sword Lord visited the Vajra Putuo Gate half a month ago to discuss swordsmanship and left safely afterwards, leaving the Vajra Putuo Gate in peace."
When this news came out from the mouth of the Third Patriarch, everyone's expressions changed and they felt bad.
The Putuo Buddha of the Vajra Putuo Sect has always maintained a detached attitude when facing the war. Even the ancestor of the Transformation God of the Shujian Pavilion once came to visit, but was turned away.
This time, he allowed the Five Elements Sword Lord to enter Putuo Buddhist Temple and then left safely. This attitude showed something intriguing.
In such a sensitive period, if this kind of news spreads, it will definitely severely damage the morale of the sects in the two regions in the Northeast.
"It is better to rely on oneself than to seek Buddha. These monks would sit back and watch in troubled times. But when the times are prosperous, they would come out and recruit followers under the slogan of compassion. Thousands of years in the past have witnessed this."
Ran Yiqiang sighed and shook his head, and said sadly, "I think that in the past heyday of the Changshou Sect, we had a twenty-eight golden elixirs. Now, including Junior Brother Qiu, Junior Brother Cheng, and His Highness Daozi, there are only eight people left.
Now is really the most serious moment for our longevity sect. Master Su and His Highness Daozi are preparing for a retreat, but have they made good progress? "
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Dengming, the longevity Taoist disciple, has been away from the sect for some time.
Although only Elder Ran among the people had a rough idea of Chen Dengming's mission, the other elders were all human beings and could guess part of the situation by guessing.
Su Yanyan frowned upon hearing this, and for the first time a trace of relief appeared on her exquisitely calm and pretty face, and she nodded.
"Master Nephew Chen has contacted me half a month ago. He has achieved initial success. I am considering whether to dispatch one of you to bring a group of disciples there first."
On the banks of the Dingjiang River, the mighty river water crashes against the mountain rock walls.
In a temporarily hollowed-out cave on the mountain, Chen Dengming listened to the sound of waves coming from outside, and his mind was already in close contact with his clone that was thousands of kilometers away.
Since the last attack by Senluo's descendants, Chen Dengming has been waiting outside the Fallen Jedi for nearly half a month.
He waited until Senluo's descendants left before sending a new clone to explore the secret passage.
I don’t know if it was because the Senluo descendants made so much noise that the secret passage was unobstructed from then on.
Not to mention ghost generals, it is difficult to encounter ordinary sneaky generals.
The clone guided him along the map, exploring all the way to the depths, and only encountered some trouble in the area near the end of the map.
However, under Chen Dengming's continuous explosive tactics, one clone after another headed for the secret passage, and some troubles on the way were quickly resolved.
By now, the entire secret passage has almost been explored to its end.
"As expected, today will be the moment when the clone officially passes through the Fallen Jedi and leaves the Four Realms."
Chen Dengming observed the map in his hand, followed the map, and looked at the location of the clone on the map route. The depressed mood he had felt for many days was somewhat relaxed at this moment.
It can be clearly seen that the secret path explored by the sect is a green line.
The little red dot representing the clone is already at the end of the green line. In a few hundred kilometers, this secret path will be completely out of the way.
Thinking that it took more than a month to explore the secret passage and basically eliminate the danger, although Chen Dengming was relaxed, he also felt quite depressed.
He had already known about the defeats in the Southeast Region's battle situation in the past month through his contacts with the sect. Considering the pros and cons, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Even though the first ancestor had used the 'Tianshi' to recover from his injuries, the Qu Shen Sect has yet to return, and the Putuo Buddha is aloof.
Once the war of transformation begins, the two southeastern regions will most likely suffer losses, and the battle line will completely collapse due to the defeat of such high-end combat power.
Originally, he thought that it would take about a year or two for him to choose a suitable blessed land for the sect.
But now he felt that the fire was about to burn to his eyebrows. He had only just explored the issue of ensuring the safety of the secret passage, and felt quite ashamed.
"We have to continue to speed up the progress."
Chen Dengming stood up and formed two immortal avatars again with his hand, and sent them to the secret passage. Following the previous avatar, they cooperated with the development plan of the new map.
The advantages of clones in exploring new maps are now fully revealed.
Except for being unable to cope with particularly difficult problems such as ghost generals, most of the time he can complete the task perfectly, even more safely and efficiently than Chen Dengming himself.
After condensing the two clones, Chen Dengming also felt mentally and physically exhausted. After taking a heart-tonifying pill, he still felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but be surprised and a little strange.
"Did something happen to Ling'er?"
He frowned and thought for a while, then turned and walked into the cave.
Seeing the fluorescent and clean delicate body of the little formation spirit, lying quietly on the bed made of soul flowers, with a steady breath and a slowly increasing soul power, which did not seem to have broken through the situation, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the process of exploring the secret path this month, the clone also harvested a lot of precious ghost spiritual materials such as soul flowers. It can be regarded as a rich collection of spiritual materials for the little formation spirit to make a further breakthrough, which is enough for its breakthrough.
"Since nothing happened to Ling'er, why do I feel uneasy? Could it be that something will happen on the other side of the secret passage?"
Chen Dengming activated the formation to protect and cover the cave, and then took out the Xinpohuan Mirror and looked at his own appearance in the mirror.
I saw that he now looked like a tall and arrogant man, with shiny bronze skin, strong and unyielding thick lines on his face, and a thick black mustache on his upper lip. He had a rugged masculine charm, as if he was a different person, no longer famous. The image of Chen Baimao shocked the four regions.
He flew out of the cave and used his clairvoyance to observe the situation on the fallen Jedi side from a distance.
"What a keen insight. Who is this person? The figures that just flew out of his cave all had strong auras, and they were flying too fast to be seen clearly."
In the water and grass not far away, several figures quickly lowered their bodies to hide themselves. They looked at the figure floating quietly and emitting light in the air from a distance, feeling shocked.
I felt the man's gaze filled with strange blue light sweep across me, and I felt a terrifying feeling of being discovered.
"I can't recognize who it is. I've never seen this appearance before. I'm afraid he's deliberately concealing his image."
"Be careful. Report this person's news to the elders quickly. No, report it directly to the ancestor. I feel that this person is very special. He may be a variable and will ruin our plan."
Several people lurking in the grass in the water quickly communicated with each other.
However, in the next moment, a creepy feeling rose up in the hearts of several people, and spread throughout their bodies instantly, as if they were being targeted, and their scalps exploded.
"No! Run away!"
The three of them started to flee together, and one of them suddenly erupted with the power of the fake elixir, summoning a large black flag, releasing thousands of ghosts, roaring overwhelmingly and rushing towards the rear, intercepting and confusing the audience at the same time.
However, the next moment, the dense army of ghosts was directly torn apart by a dazzling golden light like a small sun.
The strong wind rushed in with strong pressure.
"Golden elixir!"
The expressions of the three people changed drastically.
The figure of the fake alchemy monk was about to turn into a ghost and disappear, but in an instant, a strong wind hit his face, and a shining sword light came in an instant.
There was a "click"!
His head was instantly penetrated by the huge broad-faced knife tip, and exploded like a watermelon under the powerful impact, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
One of them met and the other fake died tragically.
The other two were so horrified that they almost lost their minds. They tried every means to save their lives, and one of them screamed for mercy.
"Senior, spare your life, don't you want to know why we did this?"
Whoosh! ——
Two rays of golden light shot out from Chen Dengming's eyes and settled on the two of them respectively.
The two men's bodies instantly stiffened, and their entire bodies quickly turned into metal, crashing to the ground like two metal statues.
The ground shook slightly, gravel flew and smoke filled the air.
Chen Deng suddenly summoned the soul-drawing flag, and with quick hands and feet, he skillfully trapped the three souls into the soul-drawing flag in the dull eyes of the fake elixir spirits floating out.
"Kill you, and then interrogate your souls. I can still know your intentions. This is a trick used by your Soul Eater Sect."
Chen Dengming smiled flatly and asked the leader of the fake alchemy monks, "Tell me, why did your Soul-Eating Sect appear here again? Are you still unwilling to give up on the border town?"
Although he smiled flatly and asked calmly, in fact, his heart had already been raised, and he was vigilantly observing his surroundings to guard against any masters of the Soul Eater Sect that might appear.
"Are you Chen Baimao?"
The Soul Eater Sect's fake elixir trembled and asked stammeringly. He felt that the eyes of the person opposite him were terrifying, shining like two small lanterns, making his whole person exude a terrifying and intimidating force.
"Um?"
Chen Dengming narrowed his eyes, "Why did you say that?"
The Fake Pill of the Soul-Eating Sect said anxiously, "Except for our Soul-Eating Sect monks, very few monks use soul-guiding flags, especially a golden elixir major cultivator of your strength, and the soul-inducing flag you use should be from our sect He Li Yes, I had a close friendship with Senior Brother He.
In addition, the few people who just flew out from your cave are the same size as you. It’s only now that I see you that I understand. It’s a pity, it’s a pity.”
He said, shaking his head with regret. If he had already seen that Changshou Daozi was here, he would never have dared to stay for a moment longer.
"I see."
Chen Dengming was suddenly enlightened, secretly thinking that this person was also observant in detail, but unfortunately he was an enemy rather than a friend. He would not let this person go, and would also prepare an interrogation, otherwise it would not be possible to pry open this person's mind.
After half a cup of tea.
Chen Dengming interrogated and found out the information he wanted to know, and the souls of several Soul-Eating Sect monks were tortured to the point of collapse.
"These people are actually just the advance scouts of the Soul-Eating Sect."
After defeating several souls and putting them into the Spirit-Fuling Bottle, Chen Dengming quickly cleaned the battlefield, then took out the sound-transmitting jade talisman and used wartime contact methods to notify the allied monks stationed in the border town of the critical information.
After the news came out, he no longer hesitated, returned to the cave with a heavy heart, quickly put the still sleeping little formation spirit into the soul room, and then immediately withdrew the formation and left.
Through the confession from the Soul-Eating Sect monks, he already knew that the Soul-Eating Ancestor of the Soul-Eating Sect was about to make a comeback again and forcefully stationed himself in the border town.
This time, it will be difficult for any force in the eastern and southern regions to prevent them from taking away the border towns.
Because all the major sects have too much to take care of themselves, the demon and the Five Elements Sword Lord may take action at any time.
In the eastern and southern regions, not to mention the sects that do not have god-transforming monks, even the sects such as the Changshou Sect that have god-transforming monks in charge are all looking for a way out.
Apart from Shu Jiange and the Five Elements Escape Sect, what force is willing to show off at this juncture to stop the soul-eating ancestors in the late Nascent Soul stage.
However, even these two sects, in the current serious situation, will probably not act rashly again.
Therefore, the border town must be lost. Chen Dengming now only hopes that the leader of the alliance monks guarding the border town will not be stupid, and it is best to lead the team away quickly.
As for more, at this moment, he can no longer help. War is never a time to show off as a personal hero.
"Hide first, avoid the limelight of the Soul-Eating Ancestor, and observe the situation. Fortunately, today the clone will completely leave the Four Realms through the secret path."
Chen Dengming galloped all the way and hid in the fallen Jedi.
Half an hour later.
At the end of the fallen Jedi's secret passage, a faint blue mist floats everywhere.
The vegetation in the surrounding woods gradually became sparse.
Chen Dengming's clone had already smelled the smell of sea water, and faintly heard a sound like a tidal wave in the distance.
Chen Dengming, who was connected to his mind and body, was slightly happy, knowing that his hard work for more than a month had finally paid off.
Suddenly, the clone paused and looked at the outlines of several black shadows that appeared in the light mist.
When he got closer, he saw several figures of monks wearing robes and buns, standing frozen in the light mist. There were many broken arms, heads and other corpses condensed into black crystal-like remains on the ground around them.
"Three of them are fake elixirs or even golden elixir monks."
Chen Dengming's clone's face changed slightly, and he looked at several intact black monk sculptures that exuded a faint coercion.
These people obviously provoked Sen Luo, and they seemed to have died not long ago, because there were still pit marks on the ground left by the strong impact.
If you age too long, these pit marks will inevitably be gradually covered up.
Chen Dengming looked strange when he saw this.
He lured out the Senluo descendants last time. Could it be that these people also entered the Fallen Jedi at that time and took the blame for him?
With a thought in his mind, Chen Dengming controlled his clone to step forward and touch the corpse.
However, these corpses, whether they were flesh or clothing, had been condensed into a crystalline state by the strange power of Senluo Zisi. The items on them could not be removed, and the identities of these people could not be determined.
"They should all be monks from outside the territory. Let's keep their bodies for now. If we bump into their fellow disciples in the future, it would be a good deed to let them know."
Chen Dengming thought to himself that he did not forcibly destroy the bodies of these people.
Another hour later, Chen Dengming's other two immortal clones also broke through the mist and came.
The three clones gathered together, and following Chen Dengming's thought in the distance, they quickly moved towards the direction where the sound of the waves came from.
at the same time.
In the border city, everyone is in danger.
Many spiritual lights flew out of the city, mixed with several spiritual boats carrying many monks, and hurriedly flew outside the city wall and left in a hurry.
Some monks stayed in the city, unwilling to leave. After the city defense formation was activated, it gradually rose up, guarding the entire city like an inverted sea bowl.
On the plain outside the border city, waves of dark clouds came in, polluting the originally clean sky, and even gradually blocked most of the light of the setting sun, making it get darker faster.
The line between the water and the sky in the Dingjiang River was densely covered with dark clouds, making sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
If you look closely, you will see that there are no dark clouds. They are clearly tens of thousands of ghosts that are densely packed like locusts.
Eight giant spiritual boats filled with spiritual shields appeared on the horizon of the Dingjiang River.
Inside the ferocious giant soul-attracting flags on the spirit boat, countless ghosts form the faces of evil spirits, which is terrifying.
The Soul Eater Sect's siege force finally appeared at this moment.
In the border city, there was an uproar.
Seeing that the Soul Eater Sect actually appeared so quickly, and the formation was so astonishing, countless people who witnessed it felt their throats were parched, and tension gripped everyone's heart.
"It's troublesome! The border city is really going to be lost this time. Does this mean that it will block my longevity sect's escape route? Even if I want to take people away in the future, I have to get rid of the Soul Eater sect's eyes and blockade first."
Chen Dengming used his clairvoyance and secretly paid close attention to the mighty army of Soul-Eating Sect monks who were coming. He frowned and felt troubled.
The Western Region Demonic Cultivator’s chess move was simply a slaying of the dragon.
He observed for a while and saw an old man in black flying out of the Soul Eater Sect. His spiritual power was astonishing and he flew towards the cave where he was before. His heart tightened.
"Soul-Eating Ancestor!"
He quickly stood up and continued to go deeper and closer to the secret passage of the Fallen Jedi.
At this time, the three clones had completely walked out of the light mist, and saw a bay like a bent elbow.
The mountains in the distance, the coconut palms and the beach nearby are as clear as silhouettes in the sunset.
On the beach, there are dots of shells in various shapes and sizes, shining in the gentle waves of the ebb and flow.
Chen Dengming saw the sea from the perspective of his clone for the first time in the world of immortality.
Even if what I saw at this time was just a small bay, for a moment I felt that this quiet little bay could avoid the stormy crisis coming from the Soul Eater Sect and the Northwest Territory on the other side, and a thousand kinds of dangers emerged. The feeling of finding a safe haven after all the hardships.
But at this moment, the flashing auras and a burst of majestic pressure on the distant mountains suddenly aroused his vigilance.
I came back from outside the province today. I will update it for free tomorrow. Please give me a monthly pass.
