The earth cracked, entire mountains collapsed, and they fell into a dark, bottomless cave. Fire and smoke shot up thousands of feet. It felt like the end of the world.
Xue Tong retreated thousands of miles. He was on the edge of Luan Mountain and could not see the terrifying scene in the center.
The earth couldn't help but tremble, and the smoke and dust were still blinding.
Xue Tong heard an overwhelming roar that sounded like humans and animals.
He was familiar with the roars of orcs, dwarves, ghosts, and demons, and it felt more like the roars of the green yang people.
In the darkness, heavy and messy footsteps approached.
Xue Tong focused his eyes and tried his best to observe.
More than a hundred creatures of different heights and sizes were traveling on foot at high speed.
Werewolves, green eagles, silver armadillos, orangutans, tigers... all look like beasts with half human heads.
"Monster clan!" Xue Tong suddenly realized.
There are countless types of monsters, and all animals can become monsters. After evolving to high spiritual intelligence, they are regarded as monsters.
The demon clan is not as bloodthirsty as the demon clan, but their behavior is erratic and their control is weak, so they need to be restrained by a strong leader.
Inherited the instinct of the ancestral beast herd to obey the beast king.
The boss of more than a hundred monster tribes seems to be a green-faced werewolf, and he is flanked by a fox tribe woman.
"Who!" the werewolf shouted in a blunt human language.
A slender man in a green robe stood quietly in front.
"Where did fellow Taoist demon tribe come from?"
Xue Tong released the divine spiritual pressure and was very happy. The demon clan could understand human language. That couldn't be better.
The werewolf and fox girl is the chief and deputy leader of the fourth advance team of the demon clan, and is at the pinnacle of cultivation.
The werewolf captain was extremely angry. He didn't expect to encounter a celestial being blocking the road. Wouldn't he fall behind other teams?
The werewolf swung his sword and slashed hard.
The Qingfeng scoffed and tore through the ten-foot-long void. The demon spit out thunder from its mouth and struck at the same time as the blade.
The fox girl fired a fire bomb as a warning.
Suddenly a big hand appeared in the void, pinched by lightning.
The blade of lightning exploded instantly, causing severe pain in the werewolf's arm and numbness all over his body.
"It looks like people are going to be in ruins again!" Xue Tong sighed and had no intention of continuing to attack.
He has a different concept from most people. He never feels that he and the demon clan are incompatible. The world belongs to all living beings. In a sense, the human race has robbed the resources of the demon clan?
The demon roared, formed a formation, and all the crossbowmen pointed their arrows at Xue Tong.
The fox girl calmed down her restless subordinates. Xue Tong's skill just now forced her to avoid conflicts.
"The changes in the space where our clan is located have eroded the territory of the human race. This is God's will."
"Spatial mutation?"
Xue Tong is not very clear. He only knows that the spiritual world is vast and boundless, but it does not extend like a plane, but there are partially twisted and closed spaces. The demon clan space where the fox girl lives is isolated from the outside world. This change has made the interface fused and connected.
There are original demon tribes in Luzhou, such as the Qingyi people who lived in the south of Chenliu. The influx of a large number of demons in the new space will inevitably cause strong turmoil in Luzhou and even the wider region.
"How big is the space where your department is located?" Xue Tong asked.
"I don't know the details, but we have to start from a hundred thousand miles away. Get out of the way quickly and don't block our team's path!" the werewolf said in a deep voice after recovering.
It seems that a hundred demons are attacking Xue Tong.
After the advance team, the rumbling sound came from far to near, and a large number of monsters rushed to reinforce.
Xue Tong suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
…
As many as one million monsters emerged from Luan Mountain, advancing from the east and west sides. The Shadow Moon Sect had no chance of resisting and evacuated hastily to Chenliu Mansion.
Xuanjingmen is exactly the same, retreating westward to Liangping.
Within eight thousand miles of Luan Mountain, everything has become the territory of the demon clan.
Chenliu Mansion was in chaos, and countless people moved with their families to Ningyang City further away.
When aliens invaded, monks stayed in the city and repaired three fortifications in the suburbs to strengthen Chenliu's defense.
The two mansions of Chen Liu and Liang Ping are the closest to the demon clan and are of great strategic value. They are reinforced by a large number of monks from outside. There is almost no mortal in the city, and there are more than 500,000 monks gathered.
Form an army and wait for the opportunity to start a war with the demon clan.
Xue Tong stayed in the city for half a month to answer the questions in his mind.
It is rumored that Taoist Cangyu has studied the history of Luan Mountain very deeply, and may know that the accident is related to the demon clan. After the space change, his whereabouts are unknown. All the monks from Cangyu Village who were taken away by the Shadow Moon Sect have been released.
Such a huge spatial change is caused by the power of heaven and earth, and there is absolutely no possibility of conspiracy.
Xue Tong joined the fleeing army and moved north.
There are all kinds of monks staying in the city, and most of them are people who want to take advantage of the troubled waters. Except for Xuanmen like the Shadow Moon Sect, they also dream of taking back their territory.
Xue Tong avoided the battle and diverted to Ningyang City.
Ningyang is 26,000 miles away from Luan Mountain, so the demon clan would rather stay close than the distance, so the possibility of a long-distance attack on Ningyang is extremely low.
Therefore, almost no one in the city evacuated, and prices soared. Xue Tong rented a small courtyard for five times the price and waited for the situation to change.
Half a year later, news came that Chen Liu and Liang Ping had fallen!
The two battles resulted in more than 700,000 casualties.
The territory of the Monster Clan has expanded to within a radius of 20,000 miles of Luan Mountain. The Qingyi people in the south have also surrendered and joined the Monster Clan.
There was complete chaos in Dongluzhou, and the atmosphere in Ningyang suddenly became tense.
Xue Tong judged that only when the demon population is diluted to a low enough density, the urge to expand territory will stop. The Ningyang line may be the border. If it can be defended, peace can be maintained for at least a hundred years.
The city was overcrowded, and the Xuanmen who had withdrawn from the south began to occupy land outside the city. The Southeast Saint King strictly prohibited the enclosure of the north of the city, and only allowed the formation of sects on the flanks of Ningyang and due south.
This is undoubtedly to strengthen the defense of Ningyang's periphery.
Xue Tong saw the opportunity.
The four white tiger pets need a lot of space for activities, and there is no suitable garden for rent or sale in Ningyang.
Xue Tong acted a little later and occupied two circles of open space outside the city. The Holy King issued an order that the Small Xuanmen could cover an area of 100 miles, the ordinary Xuanmen 300 miles, and the Great Xuanmen 500 miles.
Xue Tong searched hard and found a mountain range eight hundred miles northwest of Ningyang.
"One person cannot be considered a Taoist sect. Either he or she accepts a group of disciples, but there is no free time to teach others."
"Build the Taoist temple first and then talk about it!"
Xue Tong laid out the signs and returned to the city to find someone to build the Taoist temple.
Ningyang has a population of tens of millions and a wide range of businesses. The next day, more than ten Houtian warriors were summoned to clear out the barren mountains.
It only took two days to come and go.
Construction of the Yunling Taoist Temple started immediately. Xue Tong gave it a more low-key and ordinary name, and its scale was reduced by 30% compared to the Xuanling Taoist Temple of the year.
Five days later, an uninvited guest came to Yunling.
Three men and one woman, wandering around in the clouds for a few times, saw that there were only coolies working on the construction site, and they landed in Guanqian Square.
When Xue Tong showed up, the person who came called himself a monk from Liufeng Pavilion of Southern Xuanmen.
"It's rare to find an empty mountain outside the city. The Taoist master occupies the mountain alone, which seems to be inconsistent with the regulations of the Holy King." Grandmaster Liufeng Pavilion said.
"It takes one month for Xue to form a sect." Grandmaster Xue Tong was at his peak, and his apparent military force was superior to that of the four cultivators.
"What the Taoist Master said is true, but hastily recruiting people will cause endless troubles. How about giving this mountain to this pavilion and choosing another mountain dozens of miles away to live alone?" said the senior grandmaster of Liufeng Pavilion.
This idea is consistent with Xue Tong's planned escape route.
"Then the hard work and spiritual stones Xue spent were in vain?"
"This is easy to handle. The Taoist Master's new residence will be funded and provided by Liufeng Pavilion." The elder grandmaster said.
The Yunling Taoist Temple was renamed Liufeng Pavilion, and Xue Tong chose another residence to build a cave.
The underground palace was dug to a huge size, enough for the four pets to play and play.
Sound isolation arrays were arranged all around, so even if the white tiger roared wildly, no one outside the cave would hear or know about it.
Xue Tong built a medicine shed in the inner courtyard, with two floors inside and outside. The inner layer was blocked by a blind array to isolate the line of sight. He planted Jiongfen fruit trees and thousands of elixirs that needed to be exposed to the sun regularly.
It was already after March when everything was arranged.
Liufeng Pavilion arranged for Shu Xiantian to guard the mountain and garden for Xue Tong. Xue Tong didn't care whether he also had the responsibility of surveillance.
Liufeng Pavilion is a well-regulated sect with three thousand people. The pavilion is in charge of Grandmaster Xiao Peak. After meeting Xue Tong, he no longer interferes. All matters are relayed to the senior Grandmaster Xu Yu.
Less than half a year later, a new circle of sects appeared outside the territory of Liufeng Pavilion.
There are 800,000 monks outside Ningyang City, forming the first solid line of defense.
Xue Tong was deeply satisfied. It was rare to find peace in a troubled time.
…
"The Holy King invites various sects to discuss. Liufeng Pavilion is on the list. The master of the pavilion invites the Taoist priest to go with him." Xu Yu came to the door and said to Xue Tong.
"Oh, Xue is not from Liufeng Pavilion, is it suitable?"
"Appropriate. It is said that the military situation is tense and the demon clan is ready to make a move. The master of the pavilion wants to let the Taoist priest know as soon as possible."
Xue Tong generally understood the meaning of Guan Xiao.
"Do you want Fellow Daoist Xu to go?"
"How can Xu be qualified to accompany the pavilion master and deputy pavilion master into the city? He can't go to the venue."
Xue Tong said in his heart: "I have never seen a martial saint-level figure, and it is necessary to know about important military affairs."
"Well, thank you Pavilion Master for your kindness. Just take Xue with you before leaving."
A few days later, a carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard. The winding mountain road had already been built, and a group of four carriages drove towards Ningyang.
The fortifications of Ningyang City are hundreds of miles wide, with ravines and iron ballistae as far as the eye can see. The city walls are taller and thicker, and patrols shuttle around day and night.
The clouds of war are about to break out, and millions of monks are about to shed their blood. The Southeast Saint King has closed the passage out of the city half a year ago. No matter the monks or mortals, they must either defeat the demon clan or die with the city.
The whole city was under control, no one was walking around in the streets, and hundreds of carriages drove towards Ningyang Palace.
Liufeng Pavilion belongs to the fourth and final group of Xuanmen invited by the Holy King.
Xue Tong experienced the war without incident, and the victory or defeat this time had nothing to do with him. However, the battle style was more than ten times greater than the final battle between the Wanyu Human Race and the Sea Race.
The number of monks participating in the war may reach 3 million.
"There is no problem for Xue to escape. Fighting and killing are common in the spirit world, but to do it on such an earth-shattering scale is indeed as the fox girl said, it is God's will!"
While Xue Tong was thinking, the carriage entered Ningyang Palace.
In the magnificent palace complex, more than a thousand people got off the bus one after another and entered the largest palace of the Holy King.
Martial Saint Fan Yan!
There were two martial saint-level figures beside him, one of whom was actually a beautiful woman in her thirties.
The dark green dress outlines the undulating figure, the skin is whiter than snow, and the eyes seem to be angry or resentful, sweeping towards the monks in the audience.
