The Withered Bone Demon Lord and Elder Gu Li, led by Yaomingdian and the black-robed men respectively, and nearly four to five hundred men, had been guarding the outskirts of Mount Emei for almost three hours.
This time, in order to take down Tianxiangmu and make Mu Jingyu completely bear the blame, not only Elder Guli summoned hundreds of tribesmen scattered across Kyushu, but also the great wizard Mengtuo, Protector Feng and others All were present.
And less than ten miles behind him, the high priest who never showed his face also rushed to the rescue with nearly half of the innate masters from all the Jiuli tribes. Of course, their target is not just Mu Jingyu, but the Tianxiangmu hidden in the Emei Sect!
Now, the divine items needed by the Divine Lord have almost been gathered, and he is determined to get this Tianxiangmu. Considering the Emei Sect's thousand-year heritage, the high priest decided to lead the crowd in person to prevent any accidents. It's just that his whereabouts are secret and cannot be known to the spirits in Yaowei Palace.
On the side of Yaoming Palace, all the elites came out. Not only is the Withered Bone Demon King, the elder of the Demon Underworld Hall, leading the team, but also the three fairies Chi Mei, Fuyao and Lu Sang, as well as the Mountain Elephant King, the Wind-killing Leopard King, the Full Moon Wolf King and others among the Five Beast Kings, as well as the two Lake Demon Lords. The master, three village masters, and more than a dozen innate realm spirits gathered here.
In addition, the North Pluto even personally led people to raid Nangong Jingqiu's other courtyard after receiving the letter from the Withered Bone Demon Lord. Except for Nangong Jingqiu, Zhou Yan, Shen Mengdie and other juniors, they were deliberately let go by Bei Pluto. Everyone in Yaoming Palace, including Bi Yun and Tiger King, could not escape.
It's just that Bei Pluto also had the same purpose as the high priest of the Jiuli tribe. He didn't want to expose his whereabouts. Instead, he hid in the background and watched the development of the situation before deciding whether to come forward.
The Withered Bone Demon Lord and Elder Gu Li stood side by side, staring in the direction of Mount Emei. Although they did not speak, each of them had something on their mind.
"Elder Gu Li, you guys have been waiting for more than two hours, why haven't your people moved yet? Could it be that Mu Jingyu took the Tianxiang wood and escaped from Mount Emei?"
"Humph." Elder Gu Li replied with a smile on his face: "Demon Lord, I want to ask you, your palace's Chi Mei Fairy has sneaked into the Emei Sect a long time ago. Why has she not spread the news even now? What’s the news?”
Regardless of whether the two sides are in an alliance, each does not trust the other. Especially after the incident in Bishuiyunjian, the Withered Bone Demon Lord was insulted by Elder Gu Li, and he no longer trusted them.
The Withered Bone Demon Lord said: "Okay, let's stop bickering. In my opinion, if there is no movement inside at dawn, it is better to retreat for now. Once we understand the situation inside, there is no need to make plans. Late."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be some movement tonight." Elder Gu Li was confident.
Sure enough, not even half a quarter of an hour had passed before I heard the dull sound of bells coming from Mount Emei. After the bells gradually dispersed, countless water-type spiritual energy within a hundred miles of Mount Emei seemed to be boiling, and the sky filled with mist, covering the entire boundary of Mount Emei.
"It's done!" Elder Gu Li laughed and smacked his palms together, turned to the Withered Bone Demon Lord and smiled: "Demon Lord, my people have succeeded, can we take action?"
"Of course." The Withered Bone Demon Lord agreed, without making any movements on his hands. Instead, he calmly said: "Elder Guli, this time I, the Demon Underworld Palace, will cooperate with you. I'll leave this leading task to you. .”
The Withered Bone Demon Lord was really frightened by Elder Gu Li, and he would follow him no matter what. In order to avoid being cheated by him again, I worked hard for a long time to make a wedding dress for him.
Elder Gu Li simply nodded and said: "The Demon Lord is right, we should take the lead."
After finishing speaking, Elder Gu Li gave instructions to the second hip hop general next to him. They each took out a piccolo and started playing it. In an instant, flutes sounded one after another, reaching hundreds of miles away.
According to the agreement between the two parties, they distributed more than 500 tribesmen and spirits, led by more than 20 innate masters, around Mount Emei. As soon as the flute sounded, they broke through the Emei sect's protective formation together. Attack at the same time.
"Young Master Mu Jingyu, my subordinates have led all the men to help you!" After Elder Gu Li took the lead in shouting, the second general of Hip Hop next to him also shouted out in unison. In an instant, the same cry of killing rang out from all around Mount Emei.
Seeing many men in black robes, led by Elder Gu Li, rushing into the Emei Sect's protective formation, the Withered Bone Demon Lord also raised his arms and shouted: "Seize the Tianxiang Wood to heal Princess Biyun's wounds and eliminate poison!"
It's just that he shouted vigorously, but he didn't even move his feet. Seeing Elder Guli leading the crowd into the formation, he led more than a dozen spirits behind him and followed them with small steps.
The Emei Sect's protective formation is indeed worthy of its name as a town sect. As soon as many men in black robes entered the range of the formation, the water spiritual energy that had condensed into mist had already gathered into thousands of storms, splitting up to attack the more than 300 men in black robes who were rushing towards them.
The many Emei disciples hiding inside were hiding close to Mount Emei, commanding the storms from a distance, blocking the men in black robes from the periphery, making it difficult for them to move forward.
But in just a quarter of an hour, more than ten men in black robes died in the storm. Elder Gu Li immediately changed his strategy and ordered more than a dozen innate masters from his clan to stand in front, forming more than a dozen arrow-like formations and advancing hard towards the center of Mount Emei.
When the Withered Bone Demon Lord saw that the man in black robes was hindered in his actions and suffered heavy casualties, not only did he not sympathize with him, but he felt secretly happy in his heart: "It's a good death, it's a wonderful death. I asked Gu Li to get along with me earlier. You must have suffered a loss today."
Under his deliberate order, the Mountain Elephant King and others, with the remaining two hundred or so spirits, followed the black-robed man step by step, refusing to rush forward to avoid suffering casualties.
After Elder Gu Li temporarily changed his formation, those Xiantian tribesmen in front bore most of the attacks. Not only were the casualties much smaller, but the advancement speed was also much faster.
After seeing that they had advanced more than 20 miles, Su Jue, a disciple of Emei Su who was guarding the rear, also changed his strategy.
Su Jue is the supervisor of Jingyue Temple of the Emei sect, and tonight Lun will be assigned to her duties in the formation. But she never expected that a large number of men in black robes would attack the Emei Sect at this moment! What made him even more worried was that according to the reports from the disciples guarding the periphery, in addition to the men in black robes, there were hundreds of monsters from the Demon Underworld Palace who also appeared behind the men in black robes, including many of the Five Beast Kings and Four Fairies. An innate master!
Su Jue saw that after activating the formation, he still could not stop the impact of the black-robed man. While he ordered his people to rush back to the mountain to seek support, he also urgently ordered many disciples to change the formation, activate the second layer of the formation, and delay the black-robed man's attack. The speed of human propulsion.
According to Su Jue's initial thoughts, he thought that the man in black robe had suffered a loss in the battle more than half a month ago, so he mobilized his troops and the spirits from Yaoming Palace to come to Mount Emei to take revenge.
But before she could send her disciples out, she saw that Emei disciples had already rushed here on the order of the leader. From the mouth of the stranger, Su Jue not only knew that someone had secretly broken into the Emei Sect, but also broke into Baozhai Nunnery and strictly ordered her to guard the sect's formation. The abbots and supervisors of each nunnery are already on their way to reinforce with many disciples whose cultivation is above the Guiyuan realm.
At the same time, the disciples who were guarding the formation also heard the voices of the men in black robes and the spirits from the Yaoming Palace, constantly shouting to snatch the Tianxiang wood and help Mu Jingyu.
At this moment, Su Jue realized that the people in black robes and the spirits from Yaoming Palace were not here to seek revenge, but were coming to Tianxiangmu and Mu Jingyu. Based on the situation in the Emei Sect, it is not difficult to guess that Mu Jingyu and others sneaked into Mount Emei. After triggering the ban, the black-robed people and the monsters from the Demon Palace who had been guarding hundreds of miles outside the mountain rushed in to save people.
At this time, Su Ci could no longer sit still and rushed out with the Emei disciples in person. He also ordered the man to return to the mountain quickly and report the situation here to the head of Wuming. According to Su Ci's estimation, with Mount Emei's current strength, it would be too much to resist the enemy in front of him. It would be safer to send a message to all the righteous sects within a thousand miles radius early and let them rush to help.
Elder Gu Li led hundreds of clan members and quickly penetrated more than fifty miles into the hinterland of Emei, and saw that the situation of the entire formation had changed again.
Qianyu Feng began to retreat back. After retreating to a place more than twenty miles away from Mount Emei, dozens of Emei disciples guarding the mountain gate, under the leadership of Su Jue, stood at the formation that had been prepared long ago.
In an instant, under the command of many Emei disciples, the more than a thousand storms spread out, forming a circle of black mist. When Elder Gu Li and others successfully rushed closer, the black mist suddenly took action.
First, Su Jue sacrificed his fairy sword into the air, brought up more than a hundred water swords made of black water mist, and fired them densely. Dozens of Emei disciples who were guarding the outside also used their fairy swords in the same way, bringing more water mist sword energy to form a dense sword array, surrounding Mount Emei.
Su Jue had no better way at the moment. Elder Gu Li and the others had not missed any trace before, but suddenly they all came out to kill them. Su Jue, who only had dozens of disciples in his hands, was really overwhelmed. In addition, there are more than twenty masters of the innate realm among them, and no matter how powerful the Emei Sect's protective formation is, they cannot stop it!
For the current plan, we can only activate the second layer of defense of the formation, and it will only take a little time to delay it. After the abbots, heads, and elders of each nunnery in the sect arrived, they activated the ultimate defense of the formation again, so that they could withstand it.
After Elder Gu Li rushed here first, he was still a little complacent, thinking that he had overestimated the Emei Sect's protective formation, so it turned out to be nothing more than that. Who knew that before he could be proud for a moment, countless sword energy suddenly came down!
For a time, the entire night sky was blocked by the sword energy that was constantly being shot, and not even the moonlight or starlight could penetrate. What’s even more frightening is that the sword energy that seems to be insignificant actually contains the energy of the Guiyuan realm! Even with Gu Li's current cultivation level, facing the endless sword energy is a bit too much.
Not to mention those young men whose cultivation is only the day after tomorrow. Facing the overwhelming, seemingly endless sword energy, he immediately lost his position, crying for his father and calling for his mother. He couldn't stop it, he couldn't hide, and he was treated like a living target and shot like a hedgehog.
Elder Gu Li had no choice but to use all his spiritual energy to prop up a spiritual energy barrier of dozens of feet in radius, calling for the clan members around him to hide inside. As for the men in black robes in other directions, they also followed suit and hid in the spiritual energy barrier set up by Protector Feng and others.
Even so, more than three hundred men in black robes could not all enter at one time. Elder Gu Li had no choice but to cry out for help to the Withered Bone Demon Lord, asking him to take the innate masters from the Demon Underworld Palace and lay down more than a dozen spiritual energy barriers to gather the remaining clan members.
As for the spirits of Yaoming Palace who were following them, they didn't dare to take half a step forward. They all stopped behind where the sword rain could not cover them. They waited for Gu Li and others to find a way to break the formation, and then rushed forward together.
The Withered Bone Demon Lord was just congratulating himself on seeing this shocking situation, when he suddenly saw that Fairy Lu Sang did not guard the southwest direction of his attack, but instead led a man covered in robes to find him anxiously.
"Fairy Lu Sang, you are not guarding in the southwest, why did you come to me?" After looking at the man curiously, the Withered Bone Demon Lord said in a somewhat reprimanding tone.
"Demon Lord, don't blame Miss Lu Sang. I asked her to bring me to find you." After the man lifted his veil, he revealed a charming smile. It was Chi Mei, known as the ever-changing fairy. .
"Eh? Fairy, didn't you follow the order of King Bei Pluto to sneak into Mount Emei and seize the Tianxiang wood? Why did you suddenly come out? Could it be that you have already obtained the things?"
