Black Rock City.
Li Zhe and the others had already returned here under the leadership of the four elders of the Tianxin Sect.
But no one left the square in front of the city lord's palace. Although no one spoke, everyone knew that they were waiting for Zhang Mingzhi's safe return.
Liu Ruxin had already grasped Li Zhe's hand at some point, and her palm was already covered with sweat.
Li Zhe squeezed Liu Ruxin's hand gently, and then whispered comfort in her ear: "Don't worry, Master Zhang is so strong, even if he is defeated, there is no way he will not be able to come back."
Listening to Li Zhe's words, Liu Ruxin also took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
But what they didn't know was that Zhang Mingzhi almost didn't come back. If he didn't have the intention to kill, Zhang Mingzhi was just like what Li Zhe said. He could still run away if he couldn't beat him, but Zhang Mingzhi actually killed the opponent. Xin, I tried my best first and didn't kill the other party, which made me almost unable to come back.
At this moment, in the distant sky, a ray of fire could be vaguely seen flying towards this side.
"It's Master!"
Seeing the fire, Liu Ruxin's eyes lit up and she spoke loudly.
After listening to Liu Ruxin's words, everyone raised their eyes and looked at the fire in the sky.
The speed of the fire was not fast, but it was not slow either. After just a minute, it fell directly in front of everyone.
It's just that the elders' frowns were frowning and they were not as optimistic as those disciples.
They naturally knew that the fire was caused by the Lingxi Wooden Tablet that Zhang Mingzhi used to escape. Zhang Mingzhi had already used this, so the result was needless to say.
Sure enough, after the fire hit the ground, it slowly dissipated, revealing Zhang Mingzhi inside.
I saw Zhang Mingzhi lying quietly on the ground at this moment, his face pale and breathless, and he was no longer as high-spirited as before.
"Master!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Ruxin's pupils shrank, she shouted loudly, and was about to run forward, but Li Zhe held her hand.
"Let the elders come, I'm afraid you can't help much now."
Li Zhe glanced at Liu Ruxin, and then whispered.
Hearing this, Liu Ruxin's eyes turned red, she turned around, buried her head in Li Zhe's chest and sobbed softly.
Li Zhe just had a wry smile on his face and patted Liu Ruxin's back gently.
Although Liu Ruxin was able to cultivate to her current level, she had certainly spent many years.
However, cultivators spend most of their time practicing, and there is no such kind of intrigue within the Tianxin Sect. Therefore, although Liu Ruxin is decisive against the enemy, her own mind is just like that of a little girl.
At this moment, the other Tianxin Sect disciples were just like Liu Ruxin, but all of them gritted their teeth and stood still.
Originally, this battle could be said to be a tragic victory for them. Nearly half of their fellow disciples died. However, they were all cultivators after all, and they could ignore life and death, but they were just slightly unhappy.
But now, seeing Zhang Mingzhi, the pillar of the sect, fall, everyone is naturally feeling even worse.
The only difference is probably Wu Feng behind Li Zhe.
Seeing Liu Ruxin sobbing in Li Zhe's arms, Wu Feng's forehead had bulging veins, and he looked at Li Zhe as if he wanted to eat Li Zhe alive.
Li Zhe patted Liu Ruxin on the back and turned around as if feeling something.
Wu Feng did not shy away, staring at Li Zhe with murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Zhe just glanced at him lightly and ignored him.
It was this kind of contempt that made Wu Feng feel that he had been despised, and his fists were clenched tightly at this moment.
At this moment, the third elder slowly squatted down, and his spiritual consciousness reached out at this moment and scanned Zhang Mingzhi's body.
But after this sweep, the third elder frowned suddenly, and then raised his hand, a wooden door appeared directly above Zhang Mingzhi, and then sucked Zhang Mingzhi in.
After the third elder took a breath, he raised his head and whispered to the other three elders: "The master is seriously injured. I first brought him into my little world to heal."
Hearing this, the other three elders nodded slightly. They could naturally understand the actions of these three elders just now.
Immediately, during this trip, apart from Zhang Mingzhi, the second elder with the highest status in the sect also said softly at this moment: "Seeing that the sect master is like this, I'm afraid he didn't stop him. We can't stay in Black Rock City anymore. Let's go first Go back to the sect!”
Listening to the words of the second elder, the other elders nodded silently, although they looked a little bit in disagreement.
After all, they are not the only ones here, there are also the remaining fifty disciples. Although the one hundred disciples sent this time are not all the strength of the Tianxin Sect, they are still most of the outstanding disciples. At this moment, they are More than half were killed or injured. If something went wrong if they stayed here any longer, they would be sinners of the Tianxin Sect!
"Disciples obey the order and return to the sect. They will assemble in the sect square in three hours!"
Seeing the other elders nodding at this moment, the second elder also took a deep breath and shouted to everyone.
Hearing this, these disciples all nodded, raised their flying swords, and left.
Liu Ruxin also glanced at Li Zhe, then lowered her head and said softly: "Brother Dao, I really want to be with you, but the situation is critical now. Can you...can you stay?"
Seeing Liu Ruxin's pear blossoms with rain, Li Zhe's heart couldn't help but soften slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded gently.
Seeing this, Liu Ruxin smiled slightly and left with her flying sword.
At this moment, only Li Zhe and the remaining four elders were left here.
The third elder nodded to the other three elders. Upon seeing this, the three elders also raised their eyes and glanced at Li Zhe, then walked directly into the void.
Only Li Zhe and the third elder were left here.
The third elder looked at Li Zhe, smiled softly, and said, "You must not know the current situation, right?"
"You probably know that the demon world passage is already connected, right?"
Li Zhe looked at the third elder, took a deep breath, and said softly.
Hearing this, the third elder nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Then do you know what the current situation is like?"
Li Zhe was stunned for a moment, then looked at the third elder and motioned for him to continue.
Immediately, the third elder took a deep breath and began to slowly introduce the demon clan to Li Zhe.
Most of these demons are condensed out of the resentment after the death of certain powerful creatures. If some monks cannot resist their inner demons, their remaining souls will fly into the demon world after death.
According to rumors, the demon world was originally like this world, but after being eroded by the demonic aura of the demons, the world gradually turned into a world with nothing but demonic aura.
Now, the demons have invaded this world. If the Tianxin Sect cannot stop them, then the demons will gradually invade the entire continent!
By then, there will be no room for monks to survive!
"Is it possible that other sects, except Tianxin Sect, cannot resist the demons?"
Li Zhe frowned and whispered to the third elder.
Hearing this, the third elder smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "To be precise, this is indeed the case. Now that the demon world passage has just been connected, it is not yet stable. At the highest, only demons from the Purple Mansion Realm can teleport over, and this If no one closes the passage for a long time and leaves it open, it will gradually stabilize."
"You mean, there may be more powerful demons appearing in the future?"
Li Zhe looked at the third elder, took a deep breath and asked.
Hearing this, the third elder nodded slightly and said: "Our Tianxin Sect can only gather the Zhengdao sects in Tiannan Realm at present. No matter how far away they are, it will be too late to contact them. If we cannot resist it, when the passage is completely stable, the mighty The demon army is pouring in, and when the time comes, it will really be unstoppable."
Listening to the third elder's words, Li Zhe also gradually fell silent.
Li Zhe naturally heard the third elder's words, which meant that he wanted to stay. Li Zhe himself also really wanted to stay. He asked so many questions just to get a clearer understanding of these demons.
At this moment, after learning so much from the three elders, Li Zhe also roughly understood that if these demons really occupied this world, they would probably still think of occupying it when the world becomes barren again. The next world.
And my original world...can't resist the invasion of demons!
At that moment, Li Zhe took a deep breath and said solemnly to the three elders: "I understand, I will stay."
Hearing this, the third elder nodded and said loudly: "Let's go, there is still time. With the Tianxin Divine Sword here, the demons can't get close to Yunxiang Domain for the time being. We still have about a month to find a way. After a few months, I’m afraid the passage will begin to stabilize!”
Listening to the third elder's words, Li Zhe nodded slightly and responded.
Then, the three elders stretched out their hands, put their hands on Li Zhe's shoulders, and took Li Zhe away directly.
And this originally bustling Black Rock City finally turned into a dead city without a single person at this moment.
And Li Zhe also reached the top of Ruyun Peak at this moment, where is the mountain gate of Tianxin Sect.
The three elders did not take Li Zhe to gather, but took Li Zhe directly to several top caves near the top of the mountain.
"This cave was originally used by me, but it was left idle after I was promoted to elder. You can rest here first."
The third elder raised his hand and threw a jade token towards Li Zhe.
"This jade token is the controller of this cave formation. Now the disciples' arrangements are mainly defensive. When it comes to using you, I will send someone to find you, so you can recover first."
The third elder nodded to Li Zhe, and then his figure disappeared directly from the spot and left.
