"Who's missing?"
Jiang Ming, Zuo Wangchen, Bai Xiaocang, Gu Yunxiao, Long Tianhu, Luan Tianfeng and other senior officials of Beidou Holy Academy were alarmed and flew towards the source of the sound together.
Lin Yu had been in seclusion, but he had kept his consciousness in the outside world and heard it, so he couldn't help but turn his attention to the place where the sound came from.
Xiaoxiang, the big yellow dog, and Long Ling'er were more aware of the outside world. They were also awakened and looked at the place of the accident, full of curiosity and doubt.
There was chaos there, everyone was in a mess, some looked frightened, some looked confused, and some were panicking.
"Don't panic, what happened? Who is missing?"
Jiang Ming used the lion's roar skill to shout loudly, with a kind of soul-soothing power in his voice, which instantly comforted the panicked person.
He was like a needle that fixed the sea, standing in the center of the field, so majestic and tall.
The moment they saw him, those who were originally flustered suddenly saw the backbone and became calm.
"Dean, one of my grandsons was practicing next to me last night. He disappeared early this morning. I searched all over the main courtyard and couldn't find him."
A supreme elder from Tianquan looked at Jiang Ming with tears in his eyes and a helpless expression, crying: "Dean, please, you must find my grandson. He is a famous cultivator. At only twenty years old, he became a half-saint.”
"Don't worry, I will definitely find him."
Jiang Ming nodded, and then he learned about the entire incident through the narrations of the people around him.
The missing person is a dragon-horned golden eagle named Diao Xingcang. He is a famous young prodigy of Beidou Holy Academy. He almost became the Holy Son and is a cultivator.
I have been in seclusion for the past half month and have not walked even a step.
He was in seclusion as usual last night, with his grandfather and several supreme elders guarding him. Everything was normal, and he disappeared without knowing when.
"Look in the main courtyard first to see if he went out for a walk while you were not paying attention."
Zuo Wangchen ordered.
The main courtyard is very large, nine floors high, and can accommodate millions of people. Even the hall can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. With so many creatures gathered here, it is normal for them not to be found for a while.
After all, you can't find anyone through your spiritual consciousness while you're in the hospital.
People in the entire hall were busy looking for the person named Diao Xingcang, but to no avail.
In the end, everyone had to accept the fact that this person really disappeared, and that he was under tight security, under the eyes of the three most powerful men, the dean of the Beidou Holy Academy, the head of the cabinet, and the headmaster of the Tianji Hall. Disappeared without a trace.
This incident was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar and putting everyone in danger.
Because it's too weird and evil.
With so many barrier guards and so many strong men guarding it, yet an unknown creature sneaked in and took away a top talent. How could it not make everyone panic and fearful?
"Dean, what should we do now?"
The talented people present were all panic-stricken, and they all focused their attention on Jiang Ming.
They know very well that the disappearance of a genius is not the end, but the beginning, and the upper world's conspiracy against the Beidou Holy Academy is ongoing.
Jiang Ming's expression was serious. He scanned the audience and saw pairs of hesitant and helpless eyes. His heart was filled with self-blame.
I thought he was an ancient saint, but now I felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Let's do this. All semi-saints under the age of fifty, enter my hexagram plate, and I will use the art of destiny to hide your energy and cultivation. Maybe this can resolve the crisis."
Bai Xiaocang sacrificed the divination magic weapon Five Elements Divination Tray that he had cultivated for many years, enlarged it, and allowed qualified geniuses to enter it.
"You can try this method, and I will protect you with my magic weapons."
Zuo Wangchen agreed.
After that, he also sacrificed his magic weapon, a mountain and river pen, drew a large circle in it, and continued to draw various defensive weapons.
"Okay, let's all take turns to work together, step under the defensive shield with true energy and spiritual consciousness, and see how those invisible creatures can take away the geniuses while hiding."
All the senior officials present agreed with this plan.
Jiang Ming was speechless. He was thinking about how the upper world entered the main courtyard and how it could avoid his perception. You must know that in order to protect this group of future elites and the seeds of hope, he had to use all the ancient saints' cultivation base. After it was released, no abnormalities were found.
This attack is so weird.
After Lin Yu understood the whole process, he also had doubts in his heart. This attack was too weird, a bit similar to the Thunder Tribulation test in the Thunder Palace, which silently took away the person who was tested.
But it stands to reason that it is impossible for people in the upper world to control the thunder tribulation in the Thunder Immortal Palace.
In that case, they wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to secretly take away the geniuses of all races and sects. When the time comes, they can enter the Thunder Immortal Palace and use the thunder tribulation to kill a large number of them.
"Brother, Sister Xiaoxiang, you have to be careful and go to Baizhangjiao's hexagram plate as soon as possible."
Zi'er's little face was full of worry, fearing that Lin Yu and Xiaoxiang would suddenly disappear, so she gently pushed their bodies with her little hands, urging them to go over immediately.
"yes."
Liu Xiner nodded in agreement, her big eyes filled with concern.
"Brother, Sister Xiaoxiang, please come over quickly."
Long Ling'er followed Zi'er and pushed Lin Yu and Xiaoxiang, even more anxiously than them.
"Xiaoxiang, you go in first, I want to stay outside to protect Zi'er, Ling'er, Xiaotian and the others. Who knows if those weird creatures will target them."
Lin Yu was a little worried about leaving Zi'er and Long Ling'er outside. If they encountered danger, he would have no time to rescue them.
"Lin Yu, don't worry, I will protect Zi'er and the others. You, Xiaoxiang, and Liu Jingtian can enter the hexagram plate together."
Qin Ruyan came and made a promise.
Followed by Wo Xiaoqiang, Shi Xiaoyue and other senior officials of Tianxuan Star Pulse.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment. Zi'er, Liu Xin'er and others beside him kept urging him. He thought about it and realized that this time the strange creatures were targeting the creatures that were expected to compete for the Thunder Heart. They should not attack low-level creatures, so he felt relieved. , walked towards the hexagram plate.
In fact, he really wanted to include Zi'er, Long Ling'er and the others into the world of the painting, but firstly, this would reveal his identity, and secondly, it might not be useful.
Because this time the disappearance of various top geniuses is too mysterious and strange.
He wasn't sure that World Painting could stop it.
In this way, all the half-saint creatures under the age of fifty in the Beidou Holy Academy entered Bai Xiaocang's Five Elements Trigram Tray, and were protected by the true energy and spiritual consciousness of hundreds of strong men, plus the defense of divine weapons. , it is not an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable.
Lin Yu, Xiaoxiang, Liu Jingtian, Xia Gaitian, Hu Xian'er and other half-saints from the Beidou Holy Academy were all sitting cross-legged in the hexagram tray. Everyone had no intention of practicing, but was waiting silently, wondering what would happen next.
Time passes.
The day passed in the blink of an eye and came to night.
The main courtyard was still brightly lit, as bright as day.
None of the creatures present took a break, but stared intently at the group of geniuses in the Five Elements Trigram Tray, wondering what would happen next.
The night passed quietly.
Everyone's expressions were extremely nervous, and they paid special attention to any slightest movement. Not a single soul moved around in the entire main courtyard. They all held their breath and waited quietly.
Lin Yu, Xiaoxiang and others were also sensing all suspicious atmospheres in the hexagram plate.
"They are coming..."
Lin Yu's Eye of Heaven suddenly caught a strange breath in the second half of the night, and this breath entered the hexagram plate.
"Sir, what did you say?"
Xiaoxiang was nearby. Hearing Lin Yu's muttering to himself, she looked at him in surprise.
Lin Yu whispered: "Weird creatures are coming. They are mixed in all kinds of light, hiding their whereabouts, and want to take us away."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them felt in danger. They opened their eyes and looked around, trying to find strange creatures. However, their eyes could not see any strange existence at all.
"You brave monsters, show yourself to me."
Bai Xiaocang also discovered that a strange creature had sneaked in. He shouted loudly, and the Five Elements Divination Plate suddenly lit up with five bright rays of different colors, forming a giant light shield that tightly wrapped the creatures inside.
At the same time, it also sealed the circuit of strange creatures.
Under the brilliance of the Five Elements hexagram disk, each of the strange creatures revealed their original shapes. Some were like branches, some were like stones, and some were like ropes, not like living beings.
"It turns out that you are demon spirits mixed in the light. Go to hell."
After the supreme elders and cabinet elders who had been guarding the major geniuses discovered the true identity of the strange creature, they became furious and took action together, activating the magic soldiers and using terrifying divine power to kill the strange creature trapped in the Five Elements Trigram Tray.
Surprisingly, these strange creatures were not very strong, and they were all wiped out in an instant.
"Haha, we won. We saw through the conspiracy of the upper world and defeated them."
Everyone cheered and looked happy.
The haze of more than half a month has finally been cleared away, and the heavy heart of yesterday's disappearance of my genius has also been released.
"Don't be too hasty to be happy. These weird creatures are too weak. They feel like they are here to explore the way."
Zuo Wangchen looked solemn. He felt that it was too easy to destroy these strange creatures, and they seemed to be demon spirits, but they also had the characteristics of other alien creatures.
Everyone froze and stared at him blankly.
"Continue to defend, we still have nine months to go, and there is a long way to go."
Jiang Ming gave an order and took all the dead strange creatures out of the hexagram plate and began to study them seriously. He wanted to find out the secret of why these strange creatures could easily travel through the barrier.
Lin Yu, Xiaoxiang, Xia Gaitian, Mo Qingtian and others relaxed and went into retreat.
Before I knew it, another three days had passed.
In the past three days, nothing unusual has happened. It seems that the failure of the last batch of strange creatures has made the existence of the upper world afraid, and they don't want to waste their efforts.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gradually relaxed.
Lin Yu was immersed in enlightenment. He was confused about his understanding of sanctification and didn't know what to do next.
The outside world has been very peaceful these past three days, as if the entire world has suddenly come to a standstill, and not a single disappearance has occurred.
The fourth day came and still nothing happened.
On the fifth day, the sixth day... until the ninth day, the strange changes started again. This time there were many strange creatures mixed in the light, but their targets were not the top talents in the Five Elements Trigram Tray.
It was Bai Xiaocang who controlled the Five Elements Gua Pan.
Originally, with Bai Xiaocang's strength, coupled with the help of the strongest men such as Jiang Ming and Zuo Wangchen, he should be able to face the attacks of a group of strange creatures with ease.
But at this moment.
A crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a heavenly door with a terrifying aura opened.
Then, a giant sickle fell from the sky. It was so huge that it could cover the sky. As soon as it appeared, it dispersed the clouds in the sky.
Then, it landed at the speed of lightning, and its destination was the main courtyard of Beidou Holy Temple.
"No, Heaven's Punishment is coming. If Heaven's Punishment lands in the main courtyard, all living creatures will die. I will stop Heaven's Punishment."
Jiang Ming felt the coming of divine punishment for the first time, and boundless anger surged in his heart.
The methods used by those in the upper realm are too despicable. They just use strange creatures to assassinate and sneak attack the geniuses of the nine regions. They also use heavenly punishment to destroy their guardianship.
"Dean, let me help you."
Zuo Wangchen was worried that Jiang Ming alone would not be able to stop the heavenly punishment. After all, this kind of heavenly punishment was set up by the existence of the upper world to eliminate the ancient holy places in the Nine Realms.
This year, three ancient saints died from divine punishment.
This giant sickle seems to communicate with the sun, moon and stars, and contains the avenue of heaven and earth. Although it is not brilliant, it gives people a feeling of despair and suffocation.
"Breaking the Sky."
"The rainbow is shocking."
Two ancient saint-level experts took action at the same time, using their own magical powers to prevent the giant scythe from falling into the main courtyard.
"Boom."
A huge sound erupted.
The energy light rain produced by the explosion is as gorgeous as fireworks and as stunning as the morning glow. It looks so beautiful and colorful.
The Scythe of Heaven's Punishment is really too powerful. It is the joint force of many strong men from the upper world. Thanks to the Thunder Immortal Palace, its power has been weakened countless times, otherwise no one would be able to catch it.
Despite this, the two ancient saints could only barely block their attacks and were surrounded by dangers.
In the main courtyard, a group of strange creatures were attacking Bai Xiaocang. They were not attacking the outside, but the soul in his mind.
These strange creatures are not weak. Each one is equivalent to the Perfect Heavenly Saint. Together, they burst out with more powerful power, which is difficult to resist.
Other supreme elders, cabinet elders, star lords and other powerful people wanted to help, but they were helpless because this was the battlefield of the Sea of Consciousness and it was difficult for them to break in.
Lin Yu, Xiaoxiang and others were all awakened and looked at this scene silently. They knew that in order to protect themselves, Jiang Ming, Zuo Wangchen and Bai Xiaocang had paid a great price and might even die.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The power of the Heavenly Punishment Scythe is getting stronger and stronger. This is a joint attack by the powerful men from the upper realm. Jiang Ming and Zuo Wangchen are becoming more and more strenuous.
In the main courtyard, Bai Xiaocang was also suffering. His sea of consciousness was attacked by dozens of strange creatures. Although he killed more than ten, he was also seriously injured.
"Everyone leaves the main courtyard. We can't stop the punishment."
Jiang Ming issued an anxious reminder.
He tried his best to resist, but the Scythe of Heaven's Punishment was controlled by many leaders in the upper world. With his current strength, it was difficult to compete.
Being able to hold back for so long without dying in battle already shows that he is stronger than many ancient saints.
"Run away."
The creatures hiding in the main courtyard screamed and fled for their lives.
"Let's run away too. Master Hundred Palms looks painful and seems like he can't hold on any longer."
The top talents in the Five Elements Trigram have also been shaken. Everyone knows that many people may not be able to survive this time.
"Walk."
Lin Yu was the first to fly out, holding Xiao Xiang and Liu Jingtian, back to Zi'er, Big Yellow Dog and the others, and ran towards the door together.
Not long after, all the creatures escaped from the main courtyard.
Then, the Heavenly Punishment Scythe smashed down in the horrified eyes of everyone, and an eternal and magnificent ancient palace was reduced to ruins. However, Bai Xiaocang, the headmaster of Tianji Hall, did not escape in time in order to hold back the strange creature. , died inside, with no bones left!
