Outside the Zixia Sect's sect-protecting formation.
Even though the two big demons had left, Zixia Sect did not dare to slack off at all. The golden light of the sect-protecting formation was still shining, shrouding several nearby mountains. If Zixia Sect disciples look carefully into the sky, through the thin golden light, they can vaguely see two rays of light, one white and one green, cutting through the night sky and rushing towards here.
The light of the flying sword was like two bright shooting stars in the dark night.
Carrying two flying swords, one white and one green, were three people, Xu Huaigu, Fan Xuan and Liu Waner. While everyone else was moving as far away from the Zixia Sect as possible, the three of them went in the opposite direction and headed straight for the most dangerous place.
The sect-protecting formation can block the great demons of the ten realms, and it can also block flying swords. Xu Huaigu and others stopped in front of the sect-protecting formation.
In fact, they had already arrived near Zixia Sect with their swords, but the two big monsters had not left yet, so they hid the flying swords in the sea of clouds and looked down at the two big monsters breaking the formation.
To be honest, Xu Huaigu was at a loss in his heart at that time. He didn't know who could be better among the two Ten Realm Great Demons and the Protecting Sect Formation. Fortunately, the two big demons left after breaking through the formation to no avail, and the three of them had the opportunity to enter Zixia Sect. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to enter this mountain gate.
Xu Huaigu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two monsters coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes. He heard that the attack on Xingqing was the result of the two great monsters teaming up, the four-armed ape and the eight-clawed fire dragon. He took note of this grudge.
Fan Xuan was even more frightened when she saw the flying sword. After all, this was the sect she cared about most. She almost jumped off the flying sword several times, but Xu Huaigu stopped her every time. It wasn't until she finally saw the big demon leaving that she breathed a sigh of relief, and her worried heart relaxed.
At this time, the big demon retreated, and the three of them stood in front of the sect-protecting formation. Xu Huaigu stood on the flying sword, turned around and asked Fan Xuan: "Is there a way to get in?"
"Unless someone opens the sect-protecting formation, they will definitely not be able to get in."
"Where's the messenger flying sword?"
"I'm not sure, you can give it a try."
"You try."
Fan Xuan nodded in agreement and took out a messenger flying sword from her sleeve, preparing to send it to the sect to report the news. However, in the blink of an eye, a woman came through the air and landed in front of them, looking at the person. There was only a golden light separating the two people, but it was like a chasm.
Seeing the woman standing out of thin air, Fan Xuan was stunned for a moment, then her nose felt sour, and thousands of emotions poured into her heart. She shouted in a tearful tone: "Master!"
Murong Di had a complicated expression on his face. It couldn't be said whether he was happy or worried. He didn't answer Fan Xuan's shouts. He only frowned and looked at Xu Huaigu with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Liu Waner said nothing as she was introduced to the outside.
Xu Huaigu said to her seriously: "I'm sending Fan Xuan back to the sect. Please let Elder Murong go."
Murong Di frowned and said solemnly, "You shouldn't have come."
Xu Huaigu raised his head and said loudly: "I, Mr. Xu, am not a person who breaks his word. I have my own reasons for today's matter. I will naturally explain it to the elders in detail after entering. Now that the demon clan has withdrawn, if you don't enter at this time, I'm afraid There will be no chance of entering the sect.”
Murong Di frowned, looked at Fan Xuan who looked anxious, and said with a heart: "The sect-protecting formation is already operating at full capacity and cannot be stopped for a moment. Even if it stops, it will consume a lot of spiritual energy to restart it. If the demon clan attacks when the formation is weak, who can bear the responsibility? I can't let you in."
"Master!" Fan Xuan stood behind Xu Huaigu, her eyes already wet, and cried, "Master, please let the disciple go in and contribute his last effort to the sect, otherwise the disciple will not be able to rest in peace even if he dies!"
Murong Di frowned even deeper.
Xu Huaigu knew that the more Fan Xuan said this, the more Murong Di would not let her in, so he turned to persuade: "The great elder heard it just now. The two big demons clearly said they would come back tomorrow. It is best to enter the sect now." It’s the right time. Does the Great Elder really have nothing to tell Fan Xuan? Just so decisive that the master and disciple will never be seen again?"
Fan Xuan looked at her master with a miserable expression, and two lines of clear tears fell down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes.
Murong Di only glanced at it, and his heart suddenly softened. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look again. After all, she was raised as her own daughter. If she had no feelings, how could she have made that deal with Xu Huaigu and wanted to send her away? It's just trying to endure it.
Seeing her hesitation, Xu Huaigu quickly added more firewood and said, "It's not just Fan Xuan, I also have something important to discuss with the great elder."
Murong Di looked at Xu Huaigu dubiously, and seeing Fan Xuan crying like that, he couldn't bear it after all. Although she knew in her heart that doing so was irrational and violated the agreement with Xu Huaigu, she did not want to see Fan Xuan so sad.
Murong Di sighed, shook his head, raised his hand to open a crack in the sect-protecting formation, and said: "That's all, let you come in. Xu Huaigu, I want to hear, why do you still come to Zi?" Xia Zong.”
Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "The elder will know as soon as he hears it."
The two flying swords slowly entered the sect-protecting formation, and Murong Di closed the cracks in the formation. Fan Xuan was still crying. Murong Di looked at her, frowned and said sternly: "What is there to cry for? As a cultivator, you are crying like this just for the sake of some affection for your children. Is this what my teacher taught you?"
Fan Xuan knew that her master only had eyes for her, but she still cared about her in her heart. So she put away her tears, lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Master, I understand my mistake."
"Let's go to the mountain gate to find you Senior Sister Hu first. Now the disciples of the sect are guarding each entrance to the sect, and they are waiting strictly. If you want to contribute to the sect, naturally you can't be absent."
Fighting the enemy together with everyone in the sect is exactly what Fan Xuan wants. She immediately lowered her head and cupped her hands, and said solemnly: "Disciple, obey the order."
Fan Xuan twisted out the talisman and went to the mountain gate. Murong Di watched her leave from a distance, the stern look in his eyes faded and turned into worry.
Xu Huaigu asked: "The elder and Fan Xuan finally meet again, why don't they say a few more words?"
Murong Di pursed his lips, looked at Xu Huaigu seriously, and said: "Bringing Fan Xuan to Zixia Sect is already a breach of contract for you."
Xu Huaigu did not refute and nodded.
Murong Di's eyes turned sharp and he said coldly: "Repent?"
Xu Huaigu shook his head.
"Then what do you say?"
"I just think it's not appropriate for the Great Elder to send Fan Xuan away just because he wanted to borrow something from me." Xu Huaigu looked into her eyes and said, "Fan Xuan is a smart person, and she also misses Zixia. Zong, once the war starts, how can we hide it from her? If we can't hide it, she will definitely return to the sect at all costs, just like she is now."
Murong Di was a little angry and said in a serious tone: "According to the agreement, I am responsible for delivering her to you. What happens after that, including how to prevent her from returning to the sect, is your business. Now she has arrived at the sect. , how are you going to take her away now?"
Prevent her from returning to the clan? Why block it? And what about the breach of contract that the two mentioned before?
Liu Waner raised her eyebrows and said nothing, but she was more attentive.
Xu Huaigu smiled and said: "Great Elder, don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."
"Great Elder, you might as well think about it. Fan Xuan already knows about the demon tribe's attack on Zixia Sect. Not to mention the reason why I stopped her, even if I stopped her and didn't let her go up the mountain, she will still be hostile to Zixia Sect in her life. I feel guilty. Even if you go on the road with me, you will have to bear the burden after all, and it will be difficult to follow the path of cultivating immortality in the future."
Murong Di frowned and said: "It doesn't matter whether the road to immortality is difficult or not. Once the Zixia Sect is destroyed, there will be no hope for cultivation, and the cultivation level will not be that important. Could it be that I still expect her to revive Zixia Sect?" Can Xia make it? I just hope she can live a good life!"
"Maybe it will work?"
"There is no need for that. Our Zixia Sect's destiny has been decided. Even if Fan Xuan has a great future and is able to rebuild Zixia, the foundation of the sect is gone and the people are gone. How can we have such a false name?" What's the use?" Murong Di became angrier as he spoke, with a cold tone, "I just wanted her to survive, but it would be a good idea for you to take her to the Zixia Sect. With her temper, knowing that the demon tribe is attacking the mountain, I am I can't persuade her to leave again. Is there any way you can make her go with you? If not, don't blame me for being unkind."
Facing her question, Xu Huaigu did not change his expression and only said: "This is not difficult. When the monsters attack the mountain, Fan Xuan will naturally fight against the enemies. If she is injured by the monsters and faints, she can kill them Take it away. When she wakes up and everything has settled, she has done her best and will not be burdened again in the future."
Murong Di frowned, thought for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "As of now, this is the only way we can do it. You have to control the situation to ensure Xuan'er's safety, just in case something happens to her... You are the one who brings her back. Zixia Sect, I will never let go of you!"
"Don't worry, Great Elder, I will keep what I promised you. I will stay by Fan Xuan's side and pay attention at all times."
Murong Di nodded solemnly and asked again: "You came to Zixia Sect just because of Xuan'er's matter? It's hard for you to worry about it."
"Actually, besides that, there is one more important thing."
"Speaking."
Xu Huaigu said: "Qingfeng Valley moved the sect to Middle-earth. There are still more than two hundred people who have not left yet, and they will not be able to leave until about two days later. I came here and wanted to confirm with the great elder. If the thunder pool of your sect explodes, what will happen to Qingfeng?" Will there be any damage to the valley?"
Thunder pool explosion? Liu Waner was shocked when she heard these four words, and looked at Xu Huaigu dumbfounded.
The Zixia Sect's thunder pool has long been famous, and she has heard about it for a long time, but what did Xu Huaigu mean when he said the thunder pool exploded? Liu Waner glanced at Murong Di again and saw her lowering her brows with a solemn look on her face. She did not refute. Her heart suddenly sank, and she secretly thought that this matter must be close.
Murong Di frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I can't say. This matter is unprecedented. I'm afraid even our sect master himself doesn't know about it. I can't give you an accurate answer."
Xu Huaigu frowned and said, "In that case, can we wait until Qingfeng Valley Qianzong leaves before detonating the thunder pool?"
Murong Di seemed a little surprised, and stared at him for a long time, and then said coldly: "I think fellow Taoist Xu is a little confused. Since our sect leader has such a plan, he is determined to fight to the death. Even Zixia You can disregard the lives of everyone in the entire sect, so how can you care about the life and death of other sects? Now that the thunder pool is in the hands of the sect master, it will explode when the time is right and will not be compromised for anything. I can't do this for you No guarantees are given.”
Xu Huaigu said anxiously: "But..."
Murong Di looked unwavering, as if he would not change for anything. She said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, the war has been going on until now, and the two tribes are fighting to the death. Please put the overall situation first. I trust you when I tell you about the Thunder Pond, but if you are obstructing this matter, don't Blame me, Zixia Sect, for not being considerate!"
Xu Huaigu gritted his teeth tightly, feeling a little embarrassed. He knew that what Murong Di said was reasonable and reasonable, not to mention that Murong Di really had no control over this matter. The only person who could control the Lei Chi was Cui Ku, the leader of Zixia Sect. But we can't put everyone in Qingfeng Valley in danger like this, even if it's just a risk.
Xu Huaigu pondered for a while and asked: "If we can delay the attack of the demon clan, after Qingfeng Gu and others have left, and then when it is time to detonate the thunder pool, will it be enough?"
Murong Di nodded and said: "It's feasible, but we don't know exactly how many big monsters the demon clan will send to attack, and the specific moment when the thunder pool will be detonated. Doing so is also very risky."
"But this is the only way." Xu Huaigu looked determined, "It's better than doing nothing."
"How are you going to delay?"
"I will work with you to resist the demon clan and do my best."
Murong Di shook his head and said: "You are only in the eighth realm. Even if you have the killing power of the ninth realm, you cannot affect the situation of the battle. If you want to delay time, it is not enough."
"Then you have to give it a try."
"Okay, if you want to try it, of course it's up to you. But one thing is, you must ensure Xuan'er's safety. If the situation becomes out of control, you have to take her away to a safe place. Also, the matter of detonating the thunder pool , except for the sect leader himself, only the three of us present know about it. If the news leaks..." Murong Di narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Liu Waner from the corner of his eye, "I can guarantee that the news will not be leaked."
Liu Waner quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
Xu Huaigu held up his hands and said solemnly: "Elder, don't worry, the news will never be leaked."
"That's good." Murong Di turned around, looked down at the sect covered by the sect-protecting formation, and sighed helplessly, "In this sect, except for the thunder pool, you can go anywhere, as long as you obey our Just make an agreement."
Xu Huaigu nodded.
Murong Di waved his hand and left.
Liu Waner looked at Xu Huaigu, with many questions in her heart. Just when she was about to speak, Xu Huaigu shook his head and said: "I will tell you all these things later. Now it is better to get over the matter of Zixia Sect safely. Otherwise, once the thunder pool detonates, I am afraid that Qingfeng Valley will suffer." spread."
Liu Waner was also worried about Qingfeng Valley, so she stopped asking questions and just frowned: "Then what are you going to do?"
"There's not much I can do. After all, I have to stay by Fan Xuan's side, so I can only do my best."
Trying her best was not enough to influence the outcome of the battle, and Liu Waner's brows were filled with sorrow. Qingfeng Valley is to her, just like Zixia Sect is to Fan Xuan, it is something worth protecting with her life.
Seeing that she was worried, Xu Huaigu advised: "You and I can only go so far, but just have a clear conscience."
Liu Waner frowned and was helpless. After thinking hard, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind, and a plan came into being.
Seeing that she seemed to have thought of something, Xu Huaigu asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Waner raised her head and said seriously: "I have a plan, I don't know if it is feasible."
"You speak."
Liu Waner stopped the flying sword beside him and told Xu Huaigu all her thoughts. Gradually, Xu Huaigu nodded again and again, and said in surprise: "Maybe it's really feasible."
Liu Waner was also happy and hurriedly said: "You also think it's feasible? Then we might as well give it a try?"
Xu Huaigu nodded in agreement. So the two of them discussed the flying sword again, then used the sword to enter the mountain forest of Zixia Sect and hid away.
Qingfeng Valley is likely to face an unforeseen disaster. Let's see what clever plan Liu Waner has to avert danger.
