Xu Huaigu spent several more days in Qingling. During these days, it looked like usual on the surface, but in fact Zhang Xiaohe and Li Zi were secretly preparing to lead the villagers to escape from Qingling.
After that meeting, the three got together several more times, mainly to go over the details of the plan.
For example, the timing of starting the plan, the old swordsman's usual interests, and where everyone will go after escaping Qingling. These are all issues worth considering.
After the three people worked together to discuss, the plan gradually became more detailed. In the past few days, the demon tribe rushed into the formation again, and this time sent three great demons from the ninth realm to try to attack the formation, but still failed.
Although the formation is still there, everyone knows in their hearts that the demon clan's attacks are becoming more fierce every time. Maybe a ten-level demon will come next time and break through the formation in one fell swoop.
Rather than pinning hopes on the demon clan, it is better to act early and lead the villagers to escape before the demon clan completely attacks. This is the right way.
On this day, the three of them gathered again at Xu Huaigu's home. Everything was ready, and they were ready to start taking action the next day.
In the eyes of the old swordsman of the Tenth Realm, there was not much difference between day and night. Anyway, he was always occupied, so the three simply chose to do it during the day so that the villagers could easily escape via the mountain road.
The three of them also discussed a good strategy on how to hold back the old swordsman. Li Zi has already found out where the old swordsman usually lives.
If someone hadn't been in and out of Qingling, he would have been on Feijian day and night. With the flying sword standing above the clouds, he could look out over the Demon Realm south of the Lingjiang River and watch their every move.
When the time comes, it will be up to Xu Huaigu to go find him with his sword and ask for sword skills. He will try to find ways to delay it for as long as possible. Li Zi and the others are very quick and can complete the plan within a cup of tea.
By that time, the deal was already done, and even the old swordsman couldn't catch those who escaped one by one.
As for where the folks from Qingling will go, that's another big problem. Li Zi said that they could prepare a ferry to the Middle Earth and simply let them leave East Fuyao Island. However, when it came to where they could settle in the Middle Earth, Li Zi couldn't answer.
In fact, most of the villagers in Qingling are ordinary farmers who have never even left the village in their lives. Suddenly they have to leave their hometown and go to such a far place. What good place can they go?
Besides, no matter which country you go to, you have to clear customs documents. If it were just one or two, they could still think of other ways to get it, but there were dozens or hundreds of people in this village who wanted to leave, and there was a lot of noise, making it impossible to sneak across, and they couldn't get all the customs clearance documents, so they were afraid they would have nowhere to go. .
After weighing the situation, they had no choice but to temporarily arrange the villagers in other places in Dayu Country. Anyway, no matter where they were, they were better than Qingling.
Only in Dayu Country, Xu Huaigu and the other two people still have some connections and can find a temporary shelter for everyone, but it will definitely not last long, because Dayu Country will be destroyed sooner or later.
But there is no better idea at the moment. The monster clan may attack one day, and the fire will burn to the eyebrows, so they can't care about so many things.
Therefore, the three of them made a decision immediately and implemented the plan tomorrow. The three of them had dinner together and then went back to prepare for tomorrow. Xu Huaigu was also thinking about how to hold Yang Yun off for longer tomorrow.
...The morning glow this morning was particularly bright. Xu Huaigu practiced on a chair in the yard all night. When he opened his eyes and saw the magnificent clouds in the sky, he was in a good mood.
The morning glow is still the most beautiful in Qingling, but the sunset glow cannot be said for sure. He had seen it at the Big and Small Luoxia Peaks in Qingfeng Valley. The sunset there was also a breathtaking view, comparable to the one in Qingling. He couldn't say which one was more beautiful, but he always felt that the one in Qingling looked more friendly. Xu Huaigu raised his sword. Get up, open the door, and walk towards Li Zi's house.
He also glanced at the grocery store and saw that the door of the store was locked. It was so early, so Jiang Chengcuo was probably still sleeping.
He knocked on Li Zi's door, and the door opened immediately. After Xu Huaigu and Li Bian confirmed that nothing had happened, they began to act according to plan.
Xu Huaigu sacrificed his natal flying sword and stepped on it. The flying sword slowly took him up into the clouds. He lowered his head and looked down, only to see Li Zi and Zhang Xiaohe spreading out to both sides, knocking on the doors of each house in turn. The villagers opened the doors one after another and followed them with their luggage.
The flying sword has entered the clouds, and the scenery below can no longer be seen clearly. Xu Huaigu looked around and easily found the old swordsman sitting on the flying sword.
He sat quietly just above the green ridge, facing south, closing his eyes to rest and practice his sword intention. Xu Huaigu approached him with his sword, but the old swordsman didn't move or say a word. This situation made Xu Huaigu a little embarrassed.
He stopped his flying sword about three or four feet away from Yang Yun's back, saluted Yang Yun's back, and said: "Junior Xu Huaigu, I suddenly came here to ask my senior for swordsmanship and to apologize." The old swordsman said. He didn't say anything, which made Xu Huaigu feel a little panicked.
After a long while, he sneered and said: "It's just a trick to ask for advice on swordsmanship. You know how impetuous young swordsmen nowadays are." Xu Huaigu hurriedly bent down and saluted: "I knew I couldn't hide it from the seniors, but the juniors did it. There are also difficulties in this matter. I hope senior can understand." The old swordsman said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. What matters is whether the matter can be successful." Xu Huaigu still bent over and said: "Senior taught me a lesson. Yes, it is indeed the fault of the juniors that they did not dare to discuss with the seniors in advance and wanted to kill first and then tell the story later." The old swordsman smiled vaguely, and Xu Huaigu frowned, not really listening.
I just heard him say again: "Among you, you are the only one who is still clear-headed and knows that this matter cannot be hidden from me. I am not a blind man. What happened in the entire Qingling Mountains, even the well was picked up in one day." I know exactly how many loads of water there are. Do you think I know what you are planning?" Xu Huaigu smiled knowingly and said, "But the seniors didn't stop him, so he must have acquiesced." The two of them chatted to this point. , Xu Huaigu was completely relieved.
It was obvious that the old swordsman had hesitation in his heart and felt that what he had planned to do was against morality. Since Li Zi has said before that the old swordsman Yang Yun is recognized as a decent person by the monk community, then he should not be so selfish.
Now seeing that Yang Yun acquiesced to this matter, Xu Huaigu felt that it was reasonable. The old swordsman pointed to the clouds beside him and said, "Sit here." Xu Huaigu obeyed his orders, came to his side with his sword, and then sat cross-legged on the flying sword.
Yang Yun glanced at his waist and said, "Pull out the sword tied around your waist and show it to me." Xu Huaigu did as he was told.
The Phoenix Feather Sword on his waist was made from the tail feathers of the black phoenix in Hangxun's secret realm. It was originally Zuo Qiuxun's sword and was later given to him.
Yang Yun stretched out two fingers, clamped the two sides of Feng Yu Sword and exerted force, as if he wanted to break the sword, but the simple black sword did not move at all.
He suddenly grasped the sword on his knee and swung the sword towards Feng Yu Sword. He heard the sound of metal and stone. The Feng Yu sword's edge was cold and sharp, and the blade was as bright as new, with no cracks in sight.
Xu Huaigu looked a little confused and asked: "Senior, why did you cut my sword?" Yang Yun rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Is this a sword? If it looks like a sword, it is a sword? What are you talking about? Tell me, what is the origin of this thing?" Xu Huaigu was asked and did not dare to quibble, so he had to tell the truth: "I once had a strange relationship in a secret realm, and the bones of the Black Phoenix of the Demon Realm were hidden in that secret realm. This sword is made of the tail feathers of the Black Phoenix, and it is said to be indestructible." Yang Yun nodded slightly and said, "You are smart and didn't lie. I have long heard that the Black Phoenix of the Demon Realm fell in the East Fuyao Continent, and his body has never been found. I found it, and it was unexpectedly picked up by you, a kid like you. It's your good fortune. Keep this sword well. If you meet a craftsman in the future and forge it, maybe it can be promoted to a treasure of the heavenly spirit." Xu Huaigu was overjoyed and said: "Can this also be promoted to a treasure of heavenly spirit?" Yang Yun looked at him with eyes that had never seen the world before and said: "Of course, the six phoenixes of the Demon Realm each have their own strengths, and the Black Phoenix Supervisor is indestructible. , even the eleventh-level monks in the same realm may not be able to hurt her at all. Do you think a sword forged from such a treasure is qualified to be a treasure of the heavenly spirit? It’s just that you have to find the right craftsman, otherwise it will be The pearl casts a secret shadow." Xu Huaigu asked again: "Then where should I find this craftsman?" Yang Yun sneered: "You have to ask me too? You have to ask about everything, and what else do you need your brain to do? Find a way for yourself." Yang Yun He refused to say anything, so Xu Huaigu had no choice but to give up.
But just hearing the news made him very happy. He must pay attention to it when he goes to Middle-earth.
Xu Huaigu asked again: "I heard about senior from Li Zi. I wonder if senior needs my help..."
"Shut up!" Yang Yun suddenly changed his expression, interrupted him mercilessly, and said coldly,
"That little girl Li Zi is really talkative! For the sake of her master, I won't pursue it, but I have to tell you, no one needs to take care of my affairs!" Xu Huaigu had good intentions, but was ignored. Yang Yun cursed a lot and felt really uncomfortable.
But if you think about it carefully, for an arrogant person like Yang Yun, the younger generations in his family cannot produce talents, and he has to rely on himself to exchange his life for fame.
They say family scandals should not be made public, but Xu Huaigu wanted to expose his scars. How could he not be angry? Yang Yun's face was as cold as ice, and his eyes stared motionlessly at the other side of the Lingjiang River.
Xu Huaigu didn't dare to speak. He felt that there seemed to be no point in staying any longer, so he was ready to leave.
But at this moment, another shrill scream came from the other side of Lingjiang River, and suddenly, the overwhelming demon group swept in again, led by three great demons of the ninth realm.
The demon clan came to charge into the formation again. Xu Huaigu stopped to take a look. Standing on the flying sword, the situation over there could be seen more clearly.
The demon swarm came like a black flood, almost twice as many as the one he saw before on the Lingjiang River, estimated to be one hundred thousand.
It's just that this time the demon group came at the wrong time, and happened to hit someone's anger. With a livid face, Yang Yun suddenly grasped the sword on his knees and slashed horizontally from left to right.
Xu Huaigu did not see the sword energy of this sword, but looking at the direction of the clouds, it seemed like a breeze was blowing.
After half a breath, there suddenly seemed to be a gust of wind on the other side of the Lingjiang River, and dust flew several feet high.
The noisy shouts over there suddenly quieted down. Everything running on the ground and flying in the sky were ruthlessly covered by the dust.
After a long while, the dust finally fell to the ground again. Xu Huaigu could only see that within a few miles of the river bank, everything had turned into naked loess. The hundreds of thousands of monsters who rushed into the formation died in an instant, including those on the bank. Countless miles of trees were reduced to dust.
The giant black python that Xu Huaigu saw last time had its huge body broken into two parts, twisting feebly on the ground like an earthworm.
The other two great demons of the Ninth Realm were frightened and fled back in panic, not daring to look back. Yang Yun snorted coldly and dropped the sword heavily on his knees.
Xu Huaigu swallowed, did not disturb him again, and left quietly.
