Tian Yan Sect.
The leader and a group of disciples stood on the main peak of the sect, staring to the west.
There, the wind was strong and the black air surged.
Soon, an old man in black robe appeared in front of the Tianyan Sect's mountain-protecting formation, standing in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the second demon appeared.
"Fu Wen, as the leader, you usually only dare to be a coward under the protection of Xi Yue. What? Now that Xi Yue is gone, you still have to hide in the turtle shell and dare not come out?" The old man in black robe stood in the sky. , black robes fluttering in the strong wind.
Fu Wen, the head of Tianyan Sect, remained unmoved:
"Are you the ones who usually hide and dare not come out? Now you are in a hurry to come over and die?"
The old man in black robe snorted coldly:
"I have no interest in arguing with cowards. If you don't come out and are still hiding in the formation, I will go to Tianyan City to slaughter the city. After slaughtering Tianyan City, I will go to the next Xiuxian City until I slaughter all the Tianyan Sect's Xiuxian City."
"But in my opinion, Master Fu Da shouldn't feel sorry for these casual cultivators. They are just ants, Master Fu Da, right?"
"Hmph, you can give it a try." Fu Wen said coldly.
"Okay." The old man in black robe didn't say a word, turned around and headed east, heading straight for Tianyan City.
Another demon followed closely behind.
"Ha~"
A chuckle came from the forest.
Then a stream of light cut through the sky.
"Don't you two just want to force Ben Zhenjun to show up? Then let's fight, and Ben Zhenjun will accompany you to the end."
At the same time, Fu Wen, the head of the Tianyan Sect, suddenly flew out of the formation.
"Bang!"
"Bang~"
During the team battle between the four Nascent Souls, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. Tianyan City thousands of miles away was shaking, and the strong wind was stirring. All the monks were looking to the west, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Nakajima.
The largest sect in the north, the mountain-protecting formation became crumbling under the continuous attacks of the two demons. The formation pattern of the large bowl upside down above the sect flickered, and the rhyme of the formation continued to overflow.
"Gu Tianhua, stop hiding. I know you didn't go to Xihuang. If you hide any longer, the formation will be broken. Hahahaha. Come on, including the one behind you, come out together, and we'll have a good fight. "
"."
This kind of war is not only happening in these two sects, but in the entire Xizhou, and even sects outside the Xizhou. At first it was the big sects, and then many small sects also fell into the battle.
Lingxiao Sect.
While Chen Ping was making various preparations at Xiaozhu Peak, Head Sima and the two peak masters suddenly visited.
"Master Chen Feng, I heard that a sect in the north was attacked by demons, and the fighting was very fierce. Before other sects had time to rescue, that sect had already fallen, and the sect was completely gone." Head Sima didn't make it in time to meet him. Be polite and get straight to the point.
The tone was full of urgency.
Chen Ping's heart tightened.
The worst moment seems to have arrived.
"How many Jindan Demon Clan are there?" Chen Ping asked.
"I'm afraid there are a lot of them. Not only was this sect destroyed, but I heard that several other sects were attacked almost at the same time. This sect alone was attacked by a late-stage Golden Core demon and two middle-stage Golden Core demons. Joint attack. Hey, these two demons will probably continue to go south. Once they enter the Qingyun Territory, I am afraid that the combat power of Lingxiao Sect will not be enough to resist them." Peak Master Sima said worriedly.
In such a sect war, the most critical thing is the battle between high-end combat forces.
Rather than winning by quantity.
A late-stage Jindan cultivator is enough to put them beyond their reach.
This was one of the reasons why Gong Zhiyuan was able to walk sideways in the south of Xihuang.
"What is the combat strength of the destroyed sect?" Chen Ping asked again.
"It's about the same strength as Lingxiao Sect and I." Head Sima said with anxiety in his tone.
No wonder everyone's faces don't look good.
This sect has the same strength as Lingxiao Sect, which means that Lingxiao Sect is likely to follow in the footsteps of this sect.
You have to worry.
"For those of us who protect the sect, the biggest reliance is the mountain protection formation, which is a variety of traps set in the sect. But these demons have obviously made some preparations for this day. A sharp weapon, otherwise the sect would not have been wiped out so quickly." One of the peak masters added.
"Also, judging from the news coming back from over there, the sect was plotted by its own people, and someone inside defected to the demons, which caused loopholes in the mountain-protecting formation in advance, and the traps in the sect were known to the demons. Clearly, all the defense methods are known to the demons." Another peak master also interjected.
At this point, several people fell silent.
The situation of that sect may not be the abbreviation of Lingxiao Sect.
The Lingxiao Sect may not have the details of the demon clan.
These detailed works are just like the Munda that Chen Ping met in Haohan City. He is a normal immortal cultivator, not a demon cultivator, and has never been contaminated by demons. There is no trace of demonic energy in his body.
Once these secret agents lurk without any action, it will be extremely difficult to uncover them.
"Let's do a thorough investigation of the mountain-protecting formation first. If we are really unable to resist then, then protect the sect's inheritance." Chen Ping said.
The so-called protection of inheritance means absconding with resources such as classics and precious belongings.
This was a last resort.
But if it really comes to the most dangerous moment, it is the most valuable move.
"Hey, that's the only way it can be."
The head of Sima sighed.
While the three of them were chatting, the maid Lanhua suddenly came in and said that disciples from the main peak were coming. She reported that people from other sects were visiting and had arrived at the main peak hall.
Several people immediately went to the main peak hall.
The ones who came were the great elders of two neighboring sects.
One of the golden elixir elders, Chen Ping, recognized him as coming from the Xiaoyao Sect, the first sect to befriend the Lingxiao Sect after its reconstruction. He had brought a group of disciples to visit the Lingxiao Sect and asked for marriage.
Seeing Chen Ping and others coming back, they immediately put down their teacups and stood up:
"Head Sima, Master Chen Feng, the situation is urgent and the communication talisman cannot be explained clearly, so I might as well come over in person."
"You two fellow Taoists, please take your seats quickly." Head Sima quickly asked them to sit down.
The Xiaoyao Sect is located to the northeast of the Lingxiao Sect. According to the current attack sequence of the demon clan, it is likely that it will be targeted before the Lingxiao Sect.
It is precisely because of this that Xiaoyao Sect came up with the strategy of joint confrontation.
I want to invite Master Jindan from Lingxiao Sect and Master Jindan from another sect to station in Xiaoyao Sect to jointly resist the demons.
"The strength of the high-level monks of the demon clan cannot be underestimated. They are obviously stronger than us. We should gather the strength of all the sects and go to the Xiaoyao Sect to resist the demons together. Only in this way can we have a slight chance of survival." Xiaoyao Sect. Elder Li strongly invited him.
Hearing this, several other people hesitated.
This is a good idea.
But this is all based on a premise, that is, the demons really attack Xiaoyao Sect first. Once the demons don't take the usual path, they go to the other two sects first.
Or maybe the news was leaked, and the news that high-end combat power was concentrated in Xiaoyao Sect was spread in advance.
That means that the other two sects will completely become lambs to be slaughtered by the demon clan, and will have no power to fight back. The sect was destroyed almost instantly.
Elder Li of Xiaoyao Sect actually has selfish motives.
It can be regarded as occupying a priority position.
"What do you think, Lord Chen Feng?" Although Head Sima is the head, he subconsciously looks to Chen Ping to take the lead in such important matters.
Chen Ping thought for a while and said:
"Joint defense is certainly good. But when the route of the demons is unclear, it is better to increase the intensity of inspections. I and other three sects will send more disciples to patrol the perimeter. Once traces of the demons are discovered, we can find out how to get rid of the demons. It’s better to make the clan’s decision and then take corresponding measures in advance to attack together.”
After a pause, he said again:
"Furthermore, we might as well take advantage of our plan and let the outside world know that we will unite with the Xiaoyao Sect to prevent it. Once this news comes out, maybe those demon clan agents will become active and spread the news to the outside world. If we can find out a A detailed review may be of great benefit to subsequent battles.”
"What Master Chen Feng said is true, you can give it a try." The eyes of the other sect elder lit up.
If taken carefully, the possibility of destruction of the mountain guard formation and traps will be greatly reduced, which undoubtedly provides the most powerful guarantee for the war.
Elder Li of Xiaoyao Sect was a little disappointed.
But he also knew that it would be difficult for the high-end combat power of these two sects to completely abandon his own sect.
"In this case, we will sum up the layout measures later." Elder Li said.
"."
People from the three sects immediately had detailed exchanges on how to jointly deal with the demons, how to share information, etc. in the future.
It wasn't until two hours later that Elder Li and the two left in a hurry.
On that day, the news that "the heads and elders of the three sects conspired to jointly defend themselves against the demons in Xiaoyao Sect" seemed to have been overheard by a disciple and spread out unintentionally.
The disciples of Lingxiao Sect began to become panicked. For this reason, Peak Master Sima had to go out and clarify once, saying that this was not the case.
Chen Ping continued to stay with Xiaozhufeng.
As long as the sect has Master Sima to take charge of the overall situation, he has no time to draw a few more talismans.
When night fell, the talisman in his arms suddenly flickered.
He quickly took it out. It was a communication talisman from a sect in the southeast. There were only a few words on the communication talisman:
——"The demons are coming."
Chen Ping's heart tightened.
This sect is only 20,000 miles away from Lingxiao Sect. Have the demons already advanced here? Or are the demons fighting on multiple fronts?
This sect is located in the southeast.
It seems that the demons’ attack targets are not fixed.
Twenty thousand miles away, this distance no longer has the same meaning to Chen Ping.
In wars, the outcome is often determined by a stick of incense.
But this information is very important to Chen Ping. He needs to always pay attention to the movements of the demons.
Chen Ping immediately contacted Xu Ruluan and asked him to pay attention to the movements in the southwest.
After midnight, Sima Head brought information and discovered a suspicious inner disciple.
When the interrogation was fruitless, the leader of Sima was also a ruthless man and killed the suspicious disciple directly. Wenhun found out that this disciple was just like the work of the demon clan.
It's just that this disciple doesn't know much. He is only responsible for the communication. As for who is on the other end of the communication talisman? Where? Does the sect have any other details? This disciple didn’t know anything about it.
The situation remains serious.
The Xu sisters also didn't bring back any information.
Chen Ping couldn't help but become anxious.
It wasn't until the next day that the good news finally came.
The throb from Xu Ruluan.
Chen Ping quickly took out the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts, injected it with spiritual consciousness, silently recited the curse words, and successfully shared the spirit with Xu Ruluan.
The scene in the forest suddenly became clear to his eyes.
"Master, we found a suspicious monk. One or two people are currently lurking in the cave in front, and Yan'er is watching them from outside the cave." After the common gods were connected, Xu Ruluan immediately communicated with his consciousness.
"How did you discover them?" Chen Ping asked.
"Ruluan and her sister Yan'er have lived here for hundreds of years. They know the caves here well and know that those caves are suitable for hiding. When Yan'er was investigating today, she accidentally found a cave with monks healing themselves." Xu Ruluan Come on.
"What are the cultivation levels of these two people?" Chen Ping immediately asked again.
If it is just a low-level cultivation of Qi refining and foundation building, then I am afraid that I will not know too many things, and it will be of little value. At most, it will be to intercept two demons in advance or to do detailed work.
"One of them is a Jindan cultivator. He seems to be injured and is healing here." Xu Ruluan recalled.
Golden elixir monk?
Chen Ping was overjoyed.
Even if they are demons, the Golden Core cultivators cannot be useless. Most of the Golden Core cultivators will know some important information.
Chen Ping's irritability caused by lack of information in the past few days was gone. It was replaced by joy. Once you can know some of the demons' plans through this golden elixir, you can turn your passive into active.
Defense will become much easier.
These Xu sisters are really good.
This contribution alone makes it worthwhile to support them for so long.
"There is no need to rush to attack them, so as not to alert the enemy. You let Xu Ruyan continue to stare at him and see what they do." Chen Ping explained.
There is a golden elixir on the opposite side, and it will be better for Xu Ruyan to stare at it. Xu Ruluan's Sharing Divine Technique has not yet reached the full level, and coupled with his low cultivation level, it will be troublesome if the Jindan Demon Clan detects it.
"Um."
For the next time, Chen Ping still didn't move, still staying at Xiaozhu Peak, but his eyes were always staring at everything in the forest.
With empathy, and after more than a day of constant surveillance, he finally figured out the situation of the two demons in the cave.
These two people are indeed demons.
One is the early stage of Jindan.
Another foundation building period.
They were ordered to enter the southwest of the Western Wasteland, get in touch with the lurking agents of various sects here, and disrupt the order here.
What surprised Chen Ping even more was that the demons seemed to have suspected that there was something related to the Moyang boundary wall, so they increased the number and determination of the demons entering this area.
And these two people are the vanguard.
These two people came from outside Xizhou. They participated in a battle with a sect and were injured. They are currently recovering here.
Prepare to wait until other demons arrive before destroying the surrounding sects in one fell swoop.
The Lingxiao Sect is also in their attack plan.
As for other information, it was not mentioned in the conversation between the two demons, so it is unknown.
Chen Ping glanced at the dark outdoors.
'We have to deal with them and ask for a more detailed plan. The information currently available is still too little. '
'Instead of letting them take the initiative to attack Lingxiao Sect, it is better to take the initiative and make breakthroughs. '
Chen Ping thought for a while and decided to go alone.
Don't call your superior Sima Leader. Sima Leader is a fake elixir and his combat effectiveness is not that strong. Not even as good as the Xu sisters.
With the Sima leader here, many of his own methods would be inconvenient to use.
"Are you going out so late?" Yun Haitang had not been able to sleep in the past few days and had been preparing for the worst case scenario. At this moment, he saw Chen Ping getting up and walking over.
"I'll go out to solve some things and I'll be back soon." Chen Ping smiled.
I didn't plan to explain these matters to Yun Haitang and the others in detail. They wouldn't be able to help and would only add to their worries.
"I'll go with you, and there will be one more person to take care of you." Yun Haitang knew that going out so late might not be an easy task.
I roughly guessed a few things.
Chen Ping comforted:
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I can handle it."
A golden elixir in its early stage.
And it hurts.
Moreover, oneself is in the dark, while the other party is in the light. A sneak attack on the two of them wouldn't be much trouble.
After a pause, he said:
"The days ahead will be very chaotic, and I may not be able to take care of you. If an extremely bad situation happens, don't worry about me. You and Yun Lingshan can go to Tianyan Sect through the formation by yourself. It will definitely be safe there. Much better than here.”
"We'll be fine." Yun Haitang held Chen Ping's little hand tightly.
