Step back in time a little.
The sun is scorching in the sky and the yellow sand is rolling.
In the harsh desert environment, a group of visitors are welcomed who are incompatible with this place regardless of their status and temperament.
There were five of them, all carrying fairy swords on their backs. The leading man was dressed in white, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The fairy sword behind his back was as green as a dragon, and his temperament was as sharp as a sword.
He is one of the new generation twins of Qingyun Sect, Wan Jianyi!
Behind him, followed closely were a young man with a serious face, a stocky young man with a short stature, one with an outgoing temperament, and one with an upright and peaceful temperament. It was Cangsong, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang and Shang Zhengliang. Four people.
After the Demon Sect was defeated in Qingyun Mountain, Wan Jianyi took the initiative to join forces and led four junior disciples with average reputations but great strength to pursue him. He vowed to take the opportunity to find out the details of the Savage Temple of the Demon Sect's main altar and find a way to the right path in the future. You won't have a blind eye when attacking in a big way.
"Junior brothers,"
Wan Jianyi gathered everyone together and pointed at the Demonic Mountain in the distance, "That's the base of the Demonic Cult. Our trip has been difficult and dangerous. Logically speaking, by finding out the location of this wild temple, we have achieved our original goal. But... "
He glanced at the few people in the dusty world, and then said, "You all know the information we obtained from the prisoners of the Demon Cult a few days ago, Ming Yuan."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Although the Qingyun Sect won the last time the Demon Sect attacked the mountain, the price they paid was not high. Many peak leaders and elders were seriously injured or killed, and it was even more tragic at the disciple level.
No one wants to experience something like this again.
But they happened to get information and learned about the existence of the Demon Cult's forbidden land, the Abyss.
Qiu Wangyu, the leader of the Demon Sect, was just a disciple of a small sect with mediocre talents before entering the underworld. But when he came out, he made rapid progress in just a few years and became the strongest, directly integrating with the Demon Sect. .
Not to mention that now, they have received the latest news that the Poison God of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is planning to enter the Abyss in order to compete for the throne of the new leader of the Demon Cult!
You know, a little-known Qiu Wangyu almost forced the Qingyun Sect to a dead end after coming out of the abyss. If Zhuxian Sword hadn't come to the rescue, the consequences would have been disastrous.
The Poison God was originally a top master who was not inferior to the Qingyun Sect Seven Meridians Peak Master. If he really got something from the Abyss, wouldn't it be a huge disaster?
Will he be beaten to Qingyun Mountain again and have to summon the Immortal Killing Sword?
Although it is indeed safe to have such a solid support behind him, Wan Jianyi's pride does not allow him to pin everything on others. Besides, after the leader used the Immortal Killing Sword last time, his condition has not been very good. When his group left, he didn't even come out to see them off in person.
As the disciple of the sect leader and one of the best disciples of Qingyun Sect, Wan Jianyi wanted to shoulder this responsibility by himself.
The tiger's eyes slowly swept over Cangsong and the others. He calmed down his voice and said word by word: "The next thing will be very dangerous, very dangerous. I hope you all think about it carefully. If you have any doubts, you can feel free to raise them. come out."
After seeing several junior brothers nodding, he took a long breath and said, "I'm going to find a way to destroy that Shura Tower."
"What?"
Even Cangsong Taoist who admired Wan Jianyi the most could not help but feel his heart skip a beat.
It's really because this decision is too crazy!
You must know that although the Demon Sect was brutally killed by the Zhuxian Sword in Qingyun Sect and lost many masters including the leader, its foundation is still there. The four holy envoys and the Poison God are all closely related to their masters. He is a ruthless character who is also known as the Seven Meridians Peak Master of Qingyun Sect.
No matter how outstanding they are, except for Wan Jianyi, they are still far from the level of being better than others.
Coupled with the numerical disadvantage, it can really be called a life-saving blow.
But Wan Jianyi is Wan Jianyi. Although he is not the first disciple of his generation, the key to his reputation even faintly surpassing his senior brother Daoxuan lies in this unique personality charm.
I saw him turning around and staring at a few people. Under the bright moonlight, Cangsong and others felt that Senior Brother Wan was standing tall and handsome. He was dressed in snow-white clothes, but he looked like a famous sword with great brilliance. , flashing with a dazzling cold flame brilliance.
His gaze was so clear and sharp that it was almost impossible to look directly at them. It was like a sword that penetrated deep into their hearts with one glance.
"Junior brother,"
Wan Jianyi's tone was calm, but his words seemed to contain thunder and lightning, overwhelming the bodies and minds of several people.
For some reason, just hearing these three words, Cangsong, Tian Buyi and others felt that the hairs all over their bodies suddenly stood up, and they felt as if they were trembling with excitement.
"Junior brothers,"
Wan Jianyi called again, then looked at the four junior brothers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The shadows in the world are all due to the Shura Pagoda in front of the temple. For the sake of the common people in the world, and for my Qingyun sect, I intend to Go up the mountain, destroy the magic tower, and completely eliminate future troubles. However, this trip must be extremely dangerous, you...are you willing to help me?"
Taoist Cangsong clenched his fists and took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt the blood surge all over his body, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart roaring with all his strength, but in the end, he still held back.
Then, he laughed, his eyes were wild, and he replied word by word: "Senior Brother Wan, I am willing!"
"I do too!!!"
The performance of Shang Zhengliang, Zeng Shuchang, and Tian Buyi is not much better than Cangsong. Who is not a genius boy, who does not have boiling blood?
Among the thousands of disciples of Qingyun Sect, why are they the only ones who dare to follow Wan Jianyi and sneak into this thousands of miles of yellow sand? This is not without reason.
And the many hardships along the way are not fake. The disciples of the Demon Sect who broke up and fled became their best whetstone.
In the practice of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and the Four Great Sword Techniques, in addition to practicing in seclusion, there is also a path to becoming stronger as you fight.
"good!"
Courage and inspiration are mutual. Wan Jianyi's passion inspired the courage of Cangsong and others, and the passion of the four of them also made Wan Jianyi feel turbulent.
He laughed loudly and said: "With all the junior brothers accompanying me, traveling thousands of miles to this point is really a great pleasure in the life of swordsmanship!"
The five of them strode up the mountain col hand in hand, stood side by side on the rough and desolate land, and looked at the towering Demonic Temple in the distance.
One is taller, one is shorter, one is more, and the other is less. The shadow of the peak seems to be able to swallow up all five of them easily, but for some reason, the five of them stand there with extremely hot eyes, as if there is nothing in this world. It can make them shrink back and fear.
Once you have the courage, you have to keep up with the plan.
After all, they were going to challenge hundreds or even thousands of enemies as a group of five people. If they didn't plan well, they wouldn't be acting alone, but they would be reckless.
In the following time, Wan Jianyi and his four junior brothers carefully explored the surroundings of the Demonic Temple, including the trends of the mountains around the Demonic Mountain, the various terrains on the mountain and below, and the movements of many Demonic followers in the temple. etc……
He even grabbed a few tongues and tortured them about various matters in the temple, the layout of the temple, and many behaviors and habits of the people in the demon sect.
Strive to know ourselves and our enemies.
Finally, seven days later, the five members of the Qingyun Sect reunited on the sand dunes.
"Based on our snooping in the past few days and what those people said, the situation on the mountain is a bit more dangerous than we thought."
Wan Jianyi was the first to speak: "Among the four major factions of the Demon Cult, except for the Ghost King Sect, which is not in the Wilderness Temple, all the elites from the Wandu Sect, Changsheng Hall, and Hehuan Sect are gathered here. In addition, there are also the Blood Refining Hall, the Blackwood Sect, Dozens of sects, large and small, such as the Blood Sword Sect and the Ghost Shadow Sect, are gathered here, among them there are countless masters, but there are only five of us."
Having said this, several people's expressions were particularly solemn, but no one showed any hesitation.
Now that you have decided to do it, you will never back down because of difficulties, you just need to find a solution!
When Wan Jian saw this, he nodded slightly and continued: "There are only five of us. We are in the Demon Sect at the right time and right place. There is a huge gap in strength between us. It is really dangerous. But in my opinion, there may be something more to this matter. Turn around.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to invite the four of them to squat down together, picked up a long pointed stone on the ground, and randomly drew a few circles on the rough yellow sand:
"This is the main hall of the Demon Sect's temple. Most of the important figures of the Demon Sect fight for power and profit here every day, making endless noises. The Shura Tower is more than a hundred feet in front of the main hall, and there are usually ten people guarding it. But it should have been there for many years. No one has ever threatened this place, so the guards don't seem to be too careful. In addition, there are five major halls around the temple: the Merit Hall, the Samsara Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Mingwang Hell Hall, and the Holy Mother's Lecture Hall. It is divided into halls and then covered with other small halls and buildings, a total of eleven buildings, which is the complete picture of this wild temple."
Wan Jianyi drew a circle on the ground and then looked up at the other four people.
Cangsong, Tian Buyi and others all nodded slightly, indicating that they knew what was going on. In the past few days, all their thoughts were focused on exploring this wild temple, which was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. The locations of the large and small temples inside were already memorized.
"The purpose of our trip is to destroy the Shura Pagoda in front of the main hall, but this place is too close to the main hall, and the masters of the Demon Cult will arrive in a moment. I am afraid that we will not be able to attack by force, so we must use a plan."
He pointed to a circle in the north behind the main hall with his hand and said: "Among the five halls, the Holy Mother's Lecture Hall is the most important. It contains countless classics and secrets of the devil's religion. It is a key place in the wild temple; the second is Reincarnation. The temple, which enshrines the bones and souls of many demonic sect leaders in the past, is also a place that the demonic sect cannot afford to miss. Again, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Merit Hall, and the Mingwang Hell Hall are not very important, so the guards are much weaker. Especially During this period of time, people in the Demon Cult are in panic, and the guards in these places are almost useless."
Hearing this, the other people in Qingyun Sect had different expressions, but they all seemed to have thought of something and looked at Wan Jianyi at the same time. After a while, it was Zeng Shuchang who was the first to speak: "Senior Brother Wan, are you trying to use that sound to attack the east and divert the tiger away from the mountain?"
Wan Jian nodded: "Absolutely. According to my wish, three of the four junior brothers were divided. One went to the Holy Mother's Lecture Hall, one went to the Reincarnation Hall, and the other took care of the other three halls. They agreed to attack at the same time and shouted. They set fire to make a bluff and confuse the Demon Cult demons into planning a massive attack, while the remaining person lurks outside the Shura Tower, waiting for an opportunity to act, and will destroy the Shura Tower as soon as possible once an opportunity arises. Junior brothers, do you have any objections to this arrangement?"
Cangsong and others looked at each other and then nodded slowly, but there was obviously another important point here. Everyone thought of it. After a while, Shang Zhengliang couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother Wan, what about you?"
Wan Jianyi smiled and said nothing. He just stretched out a finger and, under the gaze of the four people, dropped it to the middle of the circle patterns on the ground.
"What?"
Several exclamations came from their mouths at the same time. Cangsong and Tian Buyi suddenly looked up at Wan Jianyi at the same time, while Zeng Shuchang and Shang Zhengliang stared at the circle on the ground, with shock on their faces.
Tian Buyi said anxiously: "Senior Brother Wan, are you going to the main hall?"
Wan Jianyi looked calm and nodded.
He is not the kind of commander who just stands behind and shouts "Go to me". Since he has proposed such a dangerous goal and plan, of course the most difficult and dangerous part must be borne by him personally!
Cangsong stood up suddenly, took a step forward, with a look of excitement and anxiety on his face, and said: "Senior Brother Wan, this is absolutely impossible! Now the elite of the Demon Sect are almost all in the main hall, even if we attack the rest of the The hall has diverted some people away, but I'm afraid there will still be many masters left in the main hall. It's too dangerous for you to go there alone."
Next to them, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, Shang Zhengliang and others also nodded at the same time and said in unison: "That's it. Senior Brother Wan, you must not take risks!"
Wan Jian waved his hand and said with a calm expression: "I know what you are saying. But looking at the situation, I am afraid that this step must be taken. Now that the elites of the Demon Sect have gathered here, even if our strategy works and attracts the people in the main hall. Experts from the Demon Cult are rushing to help, but according to my estimation, they can only draw half of them at most. If there are more, it will be God's help. But the main hall is too close to the Shura Pagoda. If no one goes to contain it, they want to destroy the Shura Pagoda. It’s just a fool’s dream.”
Cangsong and others were speechless.
This is indeed the truth, but how can there be any stupid person among the people present?
Everyone knows that among the five assigned tasks, the person in the main hall must be the most dangerous. The remaining four places can be said to be calculated mentally and unintentionally, waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack on the target. Even if they want to escape, there is still a chance to take advantage of the chaos. However, going to the main hall is the same as having to fight one against a hundred and face the people gathered in the first place. The danger among the many masters of the Demon Cult in that place is simply indescribable.
As soon as Wan Jian opened his mouth, he took the most dangerous route to his own name.
For a moment, the four people looked at each other. After a while, Tian Buyi suddenly took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Wan, you have a heavy responsibility and a great talent, how can you risk yourself? You are not easy to be stupid and blind. Senior brother, I will never give up my respect and cultivate him with all my heart, and I am willing to take this journey for senior brother."
Before he finished speaking, Cangsong on the side also stood up proudly, looked at Wan Jianyi, and spoke loudly and forcefully: "Senior Brother Wan, let me go!"
With a wave of his hand, Wan Jian stopped Tian Buyi and Cangsong, as well as Zeng Shuchang and Shang Zhengliang, who were about to follow with excited expressions on their faces, and said seriously:
"Four junior brothers, I understand your thoughts. We have traveled thousands of miles together and shared life and death. We are all friends who have lived together. However, the overall situation is still the most important thing in this matter. There are many demon masters from the Demon Cult in the main hall, so we must try our best to delay it. , so that Shura Pagoda can have a chance to act. This matter is not just based on blood and courage. Junior brothers, please believe me once and don’t argue with me again."
At this point, there was no room for change. Cangsong, Tian Buyi and others gritted their teeth and lowered their heads in silence.
Wan Jianyi immediately began to assign tasks: "In addition to me going to the main hall, there are four other places. The arrangements are as follows: Junior Brother Tian will go to the Holy Mother's Lecture Hall, Junior Brother Shang will go to the Reincarnation Hall, and Junior Brother Zeng will be in charge of the Dharma Hall, the Gongde Hall and the Mingwang Hell Hall. Here, the three of you should prepare as many fire objects as possible. If you have enough energy when passing by other temples, you can also set fire to them. In short, the bigger the noise, the better.
"Cang Song, go to the front of the main hall near the Shura Tower, find a secret place to lurk, and wait for the opportunity. When you see the fire in the halls and the chaos after I enter the main hall, take advantage of the guards under the Shura Tower to rush to help in a panic, and quickly approach and destroy the tower. .”
