After confirming that it was feasible to open a passage through the soul-eating insects, Han Changlin was not in a hurry to leave.
It's not that he still has any attachment to this place, but that he is thinking about whether it is the best time to leave now.
The wave attack will definitely be led by a large number of low-level monsters at the beginning, and they will gather more and more. In the end, those second-order monsters and even third-order monsters will definitely appear.
Only then will the tide's attack truly reach its climax. Even if Lan Douxian City can resist such an attack for some time, it will never be too long.
If he leaves now, Han Changlin is worried that he will encounter a second-order monster on the road. If he encounters a third-order monster, his life will really be in danger.
If the third-level monsters also come to attack the city and fight with the people of Feng Haizong, this may be the best time for him to leave.
And before leaving, Han Changlin wanted to try and practice the Soul Concealment Technique and the Extreme Burning Escape Technique. It was unrealistic for Han Changlin to master these two secret techniques in a very short period of time.
However, as long as he masters one skill, it will be of great help for his subsequent escape from Lan Douxian City.
Thinking of this, Han Changlin took out the metal sheet from his storage bag, placed it in front of him, and studied it carefully.
...
In a mountain range in Donglai Prefecture.
The continuous mountains continue to the end of the world. There are countless huge peaks standing in these mountains, each one is thousands of feet high, and above each peak, there are more than a dozen small peaks hanging upside down.
The magical light of various colors shuttles between these mountain peaks, making people almost suspect that they have arrived in a fairyland on earth.
The tallest peak among them is over a thousand and several hundred feet tall. The thick mountain body stands out among the other peaks and is extremely conspicuous among the other peaks.
On the tip of this mountain peak, there is also a huge mountain hanging upside down, which is as high as a hundred feet. On top of this hanging upside down mountain is a flat rock that is dozens of miles long. And on top of this rock, stands A magnificent palace.
In front of the palace gate, dozens of thick pillars stand, supporting a huge dome. You can vaguely see a huge plaque above the door, engraved with the word "Sealing the Sea", with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and shocking words bursting out between the lines. Sword intent.
Passing through the stone gate, there is a dark corridor. Entering the depths of the corridor, it gradually becomes brighter. Dozens of monks in linen robes are lined up on both sides, standing with hands hanging down, their eyes sweeping forward from time to time, their faces full of emotion. They are all respectful.
In the deepest part of the hall, on a golden recliner, a seventy-year-old man with a ferocious face was sitting. The old man had white hair, which was extremely thick and stood upright, looking extremely messy.
However, this old man's face didn't have any wrinkles at all, just like a newborn baby, white with red.
The old man was wearing a coarse linen green robe, with no expression on his face, but his deep eyes occasionally flashed with thought.
The entire hall was silent, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that people felt extremely uncomfortable. There were seven or eight monks below.
Each one of them was even more silent. While looking at each other, they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"How is Wu Yuanming now?"
After a while, the old man in a rough green robe asked.
A gray-haired old man in his fifties at the front quickly bowed and saluted, and replied:
"Reporting to Uncle Master, Junior Brother Wu Yuanming is currently fighting monsters in Landou Immortal City. In the past ten days, although the waves have been fierce, most of the ones coming are first-level monsters. Although there are second-level monsters, there are not many. We can still support it.”
"Xuan Zhang?"
Hearing the old man in coarse linen and green robes speak, a strong man in his forties immediately walked out from the crowd below, saluting with a respectful face:
"Disciple is here, what are your orders, uncle?"
"Among the many golden elixirs, your cultivation is considered to be above average. The cultivation of the middle golden elixir is enough to replace your wizard brother. You should go to Lan Douxian City and replace Wu Yuanming. After all, he leads many disciples. After fighting monsters for more than ten days, I need a good rest."
"Disciple, obey."
The bowed man showed dissatisfaction in his eyes, but it was only fleeting. Even if he felt all kinds of grievances in his heart, he knew that he must not show it in front of the uncle in front of him.
Otherwise, the crime of violating the ancestor of Yuanying would be enough for the old man in the coarse linen robe in front of him to kill him on the spot.
Moreover, if he replaced Wu Yuanming in the past, he would not necessarily be in danger. The attack of the monsters lasted for a long time, and this was just the beginning. I thought that his uncle would send someone to replace him after a while.
Even if the worst outcome occurs, the most is that Lan Douxian City will be breached. Once such a situation occurs, the worst possible outcome is that he will immediately leave through the hidden teleportation array in Lan Douxian City.
It's okay to leave the low-level casual cultivators and ordinary mortals in Lan Douxian City to the monsters, as long as they can ensure their own safety.
Thinking of this, the forty-year-old man raised his head, and the dissatisfaction on his face turned into submission.
"Jiang Lan."
"The disciple is here."
Another scribe walked out of the crowd. He had a fair face and regular features, and he looked like the standard configuration of a handsome man.
The old man in coarse linen and green robes looked at this person indifferently and said:
"I think the wave attack will be upgraded to a level. Those sea monks can't bear it anymore. You and Henry Zhang can go there together. It doesn't matter if you can kill a few sea monks. If you really can't kill them, don't force it. It's a big deal. Just give up on Lan Douxian City."
"yes."
The scribe nodded, bowed, and left the hall together with the Jindan monk named Zhang Xuan.
After the two people left, the entire hall became empty again, and the old man in rough linen and green robes closed his eyes slightly, as if he was still sleeping.
The people below still did not dare to leave, they all stood quietly with their hands tied and silent.
"Hehe, you finally came out. You didn't show up during the two waves. You finally couldn't hold back this time."
The old man in rough linen and green robes, who seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, suddenly stood up with a ferocious smile on his face.
The next moment, a rich golden stream of light suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire hall with splendor. But then the golden light dissipated, and the figure of the old man in rough linen and green robes disappeared without a trace.
"Senior brother, could it be that a sea monk really appeared in this wave?"
The crowd did not disperse, but looked at the original fifty-year-old man solemnly and asked.
This person is none other than Cui Jie, the first contemporary Jindan monk of Feng Haizong.
Cui Jie glanced at the dissipated golden light with some envy. Cui Jie sighed in his heart, thinking that he had entered the realm of golden elixir perfection a hundred years ago, and was only one step away from being able to condense the Nascent Soul and achieve the Great Dao.
Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed. Now that he is five hundred years old, he has given up on further plans. The road to cultivation is like this, it has always been a single-plank bridge.
Some people can easily cross it and see the beautiful scenery on the other side of the bridge, while more people fall under the single-plank bridge and the fairy road is cut off.
Cui Jie was also a genius back then. He condensed the golden elixir in just one hundred and twenty years, and became one of the few people in the Fenghaizong who had the best chance of condensing the Nascent Soul in the millennium. Unfortunately, after that, he practiced hard for nearly four hundred years. , seeing all the ups and downs of the world.
Although his cultivation had advanced to the Golden Elixir Great Perfection state a hundred years ago, and there was only a thin line between him and Yuanying Avenue, but it was this thin line that was like a ravine thousands of miles away, which stopped him in the end, unable to go any further.
After living for more than five hundred years, he has completely given up on advancing to the Nascent Soul, and only thinks about cultivating his character and cultivating his descendants. In this way, he can still live for more than a hundred years until his death.
With a slight sigh, Cui Jie said:
"It's obvious from what Uncle Master said before he left. You and I don't need to say more, be careful not to offend Uncle Master or his old man."
Having said this, Cui Jie looked at a dark-faced middle-aged man again:
"Junior Brother Zhuang, have you already selected the third-generation disciples and fourth-generation disciples who will reinforce Lan Dou Immortal City this time? Although Junior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother Jiang have already followed Uncle Master's decree and went to Lan Dou Immortal City to assist the wizard disciples in defending against the tide."
"But if you want to continue to support the city defense formation of Lan Douxian City, you not only need enough spiritual stones, but also someone to integrate and activate the formation. Therefore, you still need to send out more disciples."
When the Jindan monk, who was called Junior Brother Zhuang, heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said:
"Senior brother, please rest assured that the candidate has been selected. Today, he will go to Lan Douxian City with his two junior brothers Zhang and Jiang."
