The forest is deep and quiet, and the breeze blows.

Fu Wuxi, who was wearing a narrow robe with pine green and mysterious patterns, was hiding behind a row of tall trees.

The Yuan Ying Taishang of the Fu Kingdom, who had a face like a crown jade and eyes like bright stars, who was only in his early thirties, had been sitting here for several hours.

A few feet in front of him was a fourth-order natural illusion formation, which seemed to separate him and his surroundings into two worlds. Even if you check repeatedly with your spiritual consciousness, it is difficult to detect his existence.

This is essential caution. More than two months ago, because he was too close to the battlefield and lacked necessary protection, he was severely attacked by Yan Xiling. He suffered serious injuries and took more than half a month to recover.

After that, he placed his position twenty miles away, and used the magic array to cover it up. Even if Yan Xiling found this place, he could warn him in advance.

His mission for the past two days was to protect the spiritual vein excavation at Tianshui Peak.

The coalition forces dug for spiritual veins around the Yunxiao Sect's mountain-protecting formation. In addition to Tianshui Peak, there were five more places.

After initially failing to attack Tianqin Peak, they concentrated their efforts and only excavated Tianchong Peak, the main peak where the head of the Yunxiao Sect was located. After half a month, they achieved remarkable results, but unexpectedly, the Yunxiao Sect suddenly came out. After a battle, both sides suffered damage. However, the large hole that was excavated was completely filled in by a mountain that was relocated using a formation, and several formation seals were added.

All previous efforts by the coalition forces were in vain.

So after discussion, everyone decided to take a multi-pronged approach and selected six main peaks for excavation. Although this takes longer, it is enough to put the other party in a dilemma. Because the method of moving mountains and reclaiming seas consumes a lot of resources, Yunxiao Sect can only use it two or three times in a short period of time, and it is absolutely impossible to use all six places.

But in this way, the high-end combat power is not enough. There are only three Nascent Souls in total. The woman Liang Suying is unreasonable and refuses to move around in the name of being in charge of the central army. Only he and the Supreme Prince of Kuang Kingdom are left running back and forth in these several places.

This is also the reason why he has to stay hidden: he cannot let the other party find his exact movements.



He held a high-grade spiritual stone in his slender fingers. The luster on it was somewhat dim, and it was obvious that most of the spiritual energy had been used up.

After another half an hour, the spirit stone made a soft "click" sound and turned into a pile of powder.

Fu Wuxi sighed secretly. After the Yunxiao Sect's mountain-protecting formation was opened, without the nourishment of the fourth-order spiritual veins, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became scarce.

He had to rely on the spiritual stones he carried with him to practice.

Just as he took out another high-grade spiritual stone from the ring, a battle suddenly broke out at the excavation site twenty miles away!



The spring water hits the rocks and makes a gurgling sound.

In the clear stream under Tianshui Peak, the water suddenly surged, and two figures jumped out of it!

The woman in front is wearing a green shirt and feathered clothes, brocade embroidered shoes, and a heroic face. She is the master of Baoyuan Hall and Zhao Yueer's former mentor, Shuihong Zhenren.

The other one is slender, charming and enchanting, with a bit of evil in his eyebrows, but he is the snake demon Yang Zhen had a relationship with when he was young, the master of Wanli Yun Lake, Yun Su Zhenren!

These two women were extremely beautiful, but their attacks were very decisive and ruthless. Each of them made a majestic mountain wave, sweeping towards the black hole not far away.

The five guards Jin Dan were surprised, but they were not too panicked. Immediately, four people jumped out and summoned several earth walls, which just blocked the invasion of the water waves.

Fu Wuxi frowned slightly, and let go of the hands holding the two talismans a little.

The other party may be just testing.

For a distance of twenty miles, it would take at least four or five breaths of effort, whether to escape quickly or to attack with spells and talismans. With the position of the two women at this time, if he took action early, the other party would probably escape.

Then attack elsewhere. After all, the Yunxiao Sect is included, and there are teleportation formations connecting the main peaks, so troop transportation is much faster and more convenient than them.

Once the Yunxiao Sect is allowed to find out the exact location of the two Nascent Souls, and then evade the truth and concentrate its forces to attack elsewhere, even if they rush over in time, they will suffer considerable losses.

Such battles have occurred several times, but fortunately they have not caused much damage to the large holes dug.

Therefore, either Yan Xiling was present, or he was already involved in a fight, otherwise he would not show up easily.

These thoughts flashed through my mind, and my mind had just returned to calm, when a sudden change occurred on the battlefield over there!

Fu Wuxi could no longer sit upright and suddenly stood up, with shock and anger on his face!



The earth wall did not block Shui Lang's attack.

Amidst the huge waves, a blue figure gradually took shape. Her figure was graceful and exquisite, making her look like a woman.

A slender hand as transparent as glass was gently placed on top of an earth wall, and then pinched down!

The earthen wall exploded!

This is a blow from the Nascent Soul realm!

The faces of the four people changed drastically, and one of them shouted:

"Huan Ying, this is Huan Ying, the Huan Ying that Yunxiao Sect can't kill is here again!"

While shouting, the fifth Jin Dan has arrived quickly, and the five people immediately gathered together and formed a battle formation.

Only by uniting as one can they have some strength to compete with the Phantom Infant, and then persist until reinforcements arrive.

Just by shrinking their troops, there was no longer any obstacle in front of Shuihong and Yunsu. The two women suddenly roared and rushed towards the front.

When they were about ten feet away from the big hole, the two women stopped, each took out several glass-like beads from their arms, flicked their jade fingers, and drove them into the hole one after another.

At the same time, he waved his long sword and forced back several Zifu monks who tried to stop him.

Those beads kept spinning, and as they fell downward, a large amount of thick mist emitted, spreading to the surroundings.

The mist instantly enveloped the entire bottom of the cave, and then continued to expand upwards. When the white mist was approaching the entrance of the cave, Shuihong and Yunsu looked at each other, and they executed several spells at the same time in a coherent manner.

As if the clouds were opening and the fog was dispersing, the white mist disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a huge iceberg that was tens of feet wide and a hundred feet deep, tightly fitting the big hole and sticking together!

Hundreds of Zifu and foundation-building monks who were digging the ground were all frozen inside, like ice sculptures, unable to move!

From the time the phantom baby appeared to the time the iceberg took shape, only four breaths passed!

As early as the moment Huan Ying appeared, Fu Wuxi had already jumped up from his hiding place, holding a sword in one hand and a talisman in the other, rushing towards this side like a meteor chasing the moon.

He knew very well how terrifying the Phantom Infant was. Not only is this guy's combat power equivalent to the early to mid-stage Nascent Soul, but she can also self-destruct!

It appears in a different form every time, and the final outcome is self-destruction!

At first, some people thought it was an unbeatable monster. Whenever they encountered Xin, they became timid and ran away, not daring to trade their lives with her.

It was not until later that Jiahe Patriarch read the battle report and explained that this thing was not actually a human being, or even any kind of spiritual life, but a special formation product. It is a humanoid phantom derived from a sixth-level magic weapon passed down from ancient times by the Yunxiao Sect, called the Phantom Infant Divine Platform, through the principle of the five elements creating and destroying, and consuming several top-quality spiritual stones.

In other words, every time she appears, she has to pay for several top-quality spiritual stones.

And although this thing is powerful, it will not exist for more than a quarter of an hour before it will exhaust its spiritual power and dissipate into the world.

So as long as you persist for a while, you can wait for it to disappear and win without a fight.

It's just that the idea is good, but the reality is very skinny. Since the Yunxiao Sect knew Huanying's shortcomings, how could he let her fight in a disciplined manner until the last quarter of an hour? It often entangles a few important opponents and then directly ignites and explodes to cause maximum damage.

This time is no exception.

When Fu Wuxi was less than five miles away from the battlefield, and when the iceberg in the cave had just taken shape, the transparent phantom baby, twisting like running water, exploded.

The power of the explosion instantly destroyed the battle formation formed by the five golden elixirs. All five people vomited blood, were breathless, and fell to the ground.

However, the Phantom Infant is not the real Nascent Soul after all. Although the power of self-destruction exceeds that of the Golden Elixir, it is far from the self-destruction of an ordinary Nascent Soul. Although five people were seriously injured, no one was killed.

The two Shuihong girls were far away, and they were prepared. They lit up their blue shields in advance, blocking most of the shock wave of the explosion. The two women shook hands, each grabbed a fallen Zifu as a prisoner, turned around and hurried away towards the mountain.

"How brave, how dare you, thief!" Fu Wuxi's eyes were about to burst. A bloody fire dragon, blessed by a talisman, chased behind the two women like lightning.

Just when the fire dragon was about to touch the delicate body, a burst of ripples flashed in the air, just covering the two women's bodies in front of them.

Mountain protection formation!

The fire dragon was blocked by the mountain-protecting formation and burned for a moment in front of an invisible wall. Finally, it exhausted its mana and gradually extinguished.

Just a hair’s breadth!

It was just a little bit close to injuring the two girls. Fu Wuxi beat his chest and stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.

He still had to save people quickly.



Half an hour later, the statistics were calculated after the battle. Eleven people were killed on the coalition side, all of whom were foundation-building monks digging holes underground.

The iceberg thrown down by the two women was not only invaded by the coldness, but also mixed with the poison of the snake demon. Naturally, these lowly monks could not resist it.

Fortunately, the weight of the two was lacking, otherwise more monks would have died.

In addition, two Zifus were missing, five Jindans were seriously injured, and countless other Zifu foundation builders were injured.

The Yunxiao Sect side was unscathed.

This was undoubtedly another disastrous defeat for the coalition forces.

Fu Wuxi was angry, but secretly glad.

If Yunxiao Sect had sent people to pursue the victory just now, he would definitely not be able to gain any favors here, and the losses would be even greater.

However, the final development was uneventful, and such consequences did not occur.

why is that?

It seems that Yan Xiling has not appeared for almost a month. Could this old thief be injured?

How could such a good opportunity be missed by vetoing?

strangeness……



At the same time, Tian Chong Peak and Xuan Xiao Palace.

"Plop, plop!" The two prisoners were thrown to the ground.

A woman's indignant question rang out in the hall:

"Tianshui Peak has such a good opportunity today, why not pursue it?"

"Where's my ancestor? Why haven't I seen him for more than half a month?"

"Is there something you are hiding from me?"
