Time flies, and a few months have passed in the blink of an eye since Old Demon Han left the Huaxian Sect.
On this day, over an unknown small lake in southern Xinjiang, high-level monks from the Ye family gathered on the lake. They looked panicked, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
"Why didn't the concealment circle work? This vision is so shocking that it must have alarmed all the monks within thousands of miles!
In less than a day, news of the vision will spread throughout southern Xinjiang, and soon both good and evil will be aware of it. By then, my Ye family will be in disaster! "
In the air, a square-faced monk grabbed the skirt of an old man's clothes with one hand, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted with an ugly expression.
Around them, the other Ye family monks also had gloomy faces and remained silent.
And in the middle of the lake, there was a strangely thick milky-white light pillar rising into the sky, with a diameter of thirty feet, reaching straight into the sky like a lord of heaven.
In addition, there are six identical light pillars in the distance, surrounding the small lake in the distance, which is extremely eye-catching.
This is the vision of the unsealing of Kunwu Mountain. It should have been covered by the concealment formation and not seen by outsiders, but now it is presented majestically between heaven and earth. The Ye family's plan to secretly unblock Kunwu Mountain has failed, and No wonder the square-faced monk was so angry.
"This...I don't know. It was obviously fine during yesterday's inspection, and I did send someone to activate the formation today. I really don't know where the problem lies!"
The old man is the formation master of the Ye family, and is responsible for presiding over the movement prohibition formation. At this moment, his face is full of panic, and he is extremely unjust.
"Second brother, please let Nephew Longxian go first. He has been working hard to arrange the formation here and does not dare to be careless. The problem is definitely not with him.
At this point, we must first send someone to check the situation of the concealment formation. If it can be repaired in a short time, we can at worst kill all the monks within thousands of miles, which will delay enough time. "
The person speaking at this moment was Ye Zheng, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar and had a face as white as jade, but his words while talking and laughing were extremely cruel.
As soon as Ye Zheng spoke, the square-faced monk immediately let go of the old man, and the other Ye family monks also said "yes" respectfully, and then immediately started working.
"There's something wrong with the concealment circle. There won't be any surprises when the seal is lifted."
Seeing that the Ye family monks around him turned into light and flew away, Ye Zheng looked at the old man indifferently and asked coldly.
The formation master immediately got excited and quickly promised:
"Great Elder, there is absolutely no problem in lifting the seal. With the help of Taiping Monument, we have torn a hole in the seal of Kunwu Mountain, and the integrity of the seal has been destroyed.
Even if we do not apply any external force in the future, the seal of Kunwu Mountain will continue to weaken, and in less than a year, the entire seal will completely disappear. "
"That's okay. After dealing with the concealment formation, you will lead a group of low-level tribesmen to evacuate southern Xinjiang and hide in a pre-arranged place. You are not allowed to show up without receiving a signal."
Ye Zheng calmly ordered that although he did not think he would fail, he still had to make arrangements for his fallback.
"Yes!" the old man immediately responded with his hands.
Not long after that, the square-faced monk left and returned, shouting with a look of shock and anger:
"The Great Elder is in trouble, the concealment formation has been completely destroyed, and all the disciples have disappeared!"
After hearing this, Ye Zheng's expression finally showed obvious fluctuations, his face was covered with frost, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Regardless of whether those missing disciples betrayed the family or were killed, their Ye family's plan has probably fallen into the eyes of Youxin, and now there is no way out.
"Immediately use the formation to find the location of the crack in the seal. We will enter Kunwu Mountain immediately. As long as we obtain the Tongtian Lingbao, even if the good and the evil are aware of it, they can't do anything to our Ye family!"
"The formation shows that the location of the crack is underground twenty miles north of here. There will be a crack dozens of feet long at a depth of about a thousand feet."
The old man of the Ye family who was in charge of the formation hurriedly replied.
"Well, Ninth Sister, let's set off immediately!"
Ye Zheng nodded and said to a Taoist nun on the side.
"I understand, brother!"
The Taoist nun agreed, then patted the spirit beast bag on her waist and released a centipede that was dozens of feet long.
At this time, without Ye Zheng's orders, all the surrounding Ye family monks flew up and stood on the back of the giant centipede.
I saw a circle of light yellow aura radiating from the giant centipede, covering everyone in it, and then plunged towards the ground.
As soon as it touched the ground, it sank into it silently. It was a spiritual beast proficient in earth escape.
Seeing this situation, the Ye family's formation master sighed and immediately called the nearby Ye family disciples to stay away from this place with him.
...
At this moment, a group of Poison Saint Sect monks more than a thousand miles away were staring dumbly at the seven sky-reaching light pillars in the distance.
"What happened there? Why is there such an amazing celestial phenomenon?"
A foundation-building monk in his twenties swallowed his saliva and asked with a stiff face.
"No matter what it is, it is definitely not a trivial matter. You should report it to the sect immediately. Junior Brother Yu, you and I will go and investigate first."
Hua Wuxin ordered with a solemn expression.
In the other direction, further away, there happens to be a small market formed by the spontaneous gathering of low-level monks.
When these monks, most of whom were in the Qi Refining stage, saw such an astonishing vision, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then suddenly one of them sacrificed his magic weapon and fled quickly to the southeast.
The other monks in the city all sacrificed their magic weapons and scattered away as if they were waking up from a dream.
The originally bustling market suddenly became extremely deserted, and shopkeepers even glanced at their shops and ran away.
With the news spread like this from one to another, the news of the suspected birth of the strange treasure spread throughout southern Xinjiang within two days, and even the neighboring states and counties also received the news.
Huaxian Sect, as the top three sects in southern Xinjiang, handed this information to Madam Mu the next afternoon.
"Seven milky white light pillars reaching the sky? Is it possible that some kind of strange treasure is really born?"
In the meeting hall, Lan Cai'er sat next to Mrs. Mu, digesting the information just returned from the Huaxian Sect disciples.
"Most of these strange phenomena are caused by some kind of seal being damaged and the spiritual energy leaking out. The spiritual energy in that place has been thin since ancient times, and few immortal cultivators have set foot there. It is not impossible that there is a large unknown seal hidden there."
A white-haired old woman in the hall analyzed in a deep voice.
Seal... Mrs. Mu suddenly thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, her brows furrowed in thought for a moment, then she looked at the junior sisters and said:
"My wife will handle this matter together with Junior Sister Lan. Junior Sisters, you don't have to worry about it. Let's leave the discussion here for now."
After that, she ignored the suspicious looking junior sisters and immediately flew back to Ganquan Palace.
"Senior sister, do you know anything? What is going on?"
Lan Cai'er appeared shortly afterwards and asked with confusion on her face.
"If my guess is correct, what is sealed under the vision is the legendary Kunwu Mountain!"
Mrs. Mu walked back and forth with broken steps, feeling a little excited and a little uneasy.
"Kunwu Mountain! But that is the place of ten thousand cultivations, Kunwu Mountain, the sacred place for cultivating immortals in the human world in ancient times?!"
After Lan Cai'er was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened and she exclaimed.
“Yes, it’s this mountain!
Junior Sister Lan, what I am going to say next are secrets of our sect. Only the great elders of the past generations can know them. You must not tell anyone else after hearing this! "
Mrs. Mu suddenly stopped and looked at Lan Cai'er seriously.
"It's Senior Sister. I would like to swear an oath from my heart not to reveal anything about today's events!"
Lan Cai'er knew the significance of Kunwu Mountain very well. If this matter were true, it would definitely shock the entire world of immortal cultivation in the Jin Dynasty. She immediately swore with a solemn face.
"Well, since you know Kunwu Mountain, you should also know the legendary Kunwu Three Elders. In fact, our Huanxian Sect was founded by these three seniors.
And our Huaxian Sect has been semi-hiding from the world in accordance with the ancestral precepts, just to protect the seal of Kunwu Mountain! "
Mrs. Mu said with a distant look.
"It turns out that our sect is so hesitant. No wonder some of my ancestral teachings are very strange, as if they are actively restricting the development of our sect."
Lan Cai'er nodded suddenly, and the doubts that had been hidden in her heart for many years were answered.
"But why did the three seniors go to such great lengths to seal an entire sacred mountain?
Could it be that there is some unparalleled evil being suppressed in Kunwu Mountain? "
"Hey, my junior sister really guessed it right. There is indeed an ancient evil demon suppressed in Kunwu Mountain, and it is also suppressing countless majestic demonic energy. Once it is lost, it will be a disaster for the entire human world. A catastrophe!"
Mrs. Mu became more and more excited as she spoke. If such a catastrophe were to come, the Huaxian Sect in southern Xinjiang would definitely bear the brunt and would most likely be destroyed!
"It's so serious, what should we do?"
Lan Cai'er stamped her foot anxiously and asked quickly.
"Junior Sister Lan, please be patient. Since our Huanxian Sect was born to take care of the seal, we naturally passed down the method of dealing with it.
At present, our troops are divided into two groups, and you are responsible for blocking the news within the sect. You must not let this matter reach the ears of Fellow Daoist Luo, and continue to inquire about the news from outside.
I need to open an altar immediately to cast spells and send a message to the seniors. For such important matters, a god-transformation monk must come forward! "
Mrs. Mu's eyes flickered as she made arrangements.
"Isn't Brother Luo the senior's junior brother? He should be able to help us."
Lan Cai'er frowned and objected.
"Junior Sister Lan, did you know that there are two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures in Kunwu Mountain? Although they are the key to sealing the evil spirits, people who are greedy for profit will not care so much. We have to guard against them!"
Mrs. Mu has been unable to contact Xiang Zhili, so naturally she has not been able to confirm the relationship between Luo Hong and Xiang Zhili. Now that the matter is of great importance, it is no wonder that she wants to be on guard.
"Okay, as Senior Sister said, I will instruct Lan'er to strictly abide by this matter!"
Although Lan Cai'er had some trust in Luo Hong, it was not the time to dwell on this matter, so she chose to compromise without much hesitation.
Zhen Lan often comes in and out of the bamboo house these days, and Luo Hong has been living in seclusion. As long as Zhen Lan keeps her mouth in check, the news can be blocked.
However, before Lan Cai'er could use the transmission talisman, Zhen Lan's voice came from outside Ganquan Palace:
"Sister Lan, are you in there? Lan'er needs to see you."
Mrs. Mu and Lan Cai'er looked at each other for a moment, and they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
As the restriction at the palace gate was lifted, Zhen Lan came skipping in. She was living a good life these days. Every time she went in and out of the Bamboo House, Luo Hong would not only give her some advice, but also reward her with something. It made her cultivation improve by leaps and bounds.
She tasted the sweetness and went in and out of the bamboo house once a day. She was just afraid that Lan Cai'er would blame her for being greedy, so she didn't tell anyone.
"Lan'er, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Lan Cai'er suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked warmly.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Senior Luo said that he was restless and wanted to go out. If it's quick, he would be back in a few months.
Then, he asked me to bring a message to Sister Lan, saying that he was the first to take the first step and asked you and the Great Elder to rush over as soon as possible.
Sister Lan, have you made an appointment to go somewhere together? Can you take me with you? "
Zhen Lan said with wide innocent eyes.
"Have you gone to see Fellow Daoist Luo today? What did you say?"
Mrs. Mu felt dizzy and asked quickly.
"It's nothing. I just talked about the recent incident about the Light Pillar that reaches the sky."
Zhen Lan tilted her head and wondered why Mrs. Mu's face was so ugly.
"Ahem, we know about this. Lan'er, please step aside first."
Lan Cai'er waved her hand stiffly.
"Oh" Zhen Lan noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and immediately exited the Ganquan Palace.
"Junior sister Lan, don't worry about anything else, help me cast the spell quickly, we must not let Huaxian Sect be destroyed in our hands!"
After saying a few words, Mrs. Mu flashed away and went to the curse altar.
Lan Cai'er glanced in the direction of the mountain gate with a complicated look, then followed closely behind.
...
Three days later, in Puyun Mansion, where the small lake is located, hundreds of monks with different cultivation levels gathered in small groups.
With the seven pillars of light as the center, they were actively searching for something in the sky and on the ground.
Soon, they found the huge seal hidden deep underground.
However, the crack that was forcibly separated by the Ye family using a magic circle has not been discovered yet.
But even so, it was enough to make these monks excitedly report back to their respective families and sects.
There are also many monks who quietly retreated after seeing the power of the seal, but most of them still linger on, looking for opportunities.
After all, the monks here are still mainly in the foundation-building stage. There are not many cultivators in the Qi-refining stage and the pill-forming stage. The Nascent Soul monk is still missing.
If they gain something at this time, they will most likely be able to keep it.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Half a day later, four powerful magical auras belonging to the Yuanying monks came panicking from the southeast.
The visitor was the Poison Saint Sect who received the news immediately. Hua Wuqi, the great elder in the middle stage of Yuanying, took three Yuanying elders and a group of pill-forming disciples in the sect and fled day and night for two consecutive days. , finally became the first large force to arrive at the nameless lake.
"Great Elder, there are many low-level monks here. Do you want to..."
A dark-faced Nascent Soul elder made a gesture of wiping his neck.
