At night, the main hall of Shenbing Valley is brightly lit.
When Li Yuan walked into the main hall, there was a lot of noise in the hall.
A group of elders, protectors, and even many old soldiers and inner disciples in the valley were in the hall, and it was a mess at the moment.
He saw Fang Yunxiu with a heavy face and Gao Gang who was yawning.
"What's the noise like?"
Lei Jingchuan shouted, suppressing the noise in the hall. As soon as he heard the news, he took Li Yuan back to the mountain gate.
"Elder Lei."
Feng Zhong was already standing at the top, his face as sinking as water. When he saw him coming, his expression softened.
"How's the situation?"
Lei Jingchuan glanced around the hall, and a disciple handed over the letter, and also handed a copy to Li Yuan.
In the main hall, everyone has a copy.
Li Yuan sat down next to Lei Jingchuan and opened the letter. It only said three things.
First, Duanmu Sheng had led his army to deploy defenses many days ago, and the Sanyuan Army was blocked in Kaiyue City, 700 miles away.
That is the southernmost side of Zhelong Mansion.
The second thing was that Qi Ying, the eldest disciple of Sanyuanwu Sect Master Wan Ya, led hundreds of elites to intercept and kill Shi Hong in order to prevent the rescue.
The last thing was that Jing Shuhu Qingqi went out of the city for rescue a few days ago.
Snapped!
Lei Jingchuan slammed the table and glanced coldly at the heavy-faced supervisor Wang Jingyun:
"Old Wang, hundreds of Sanyuanwu elites are dormant outside the city. Isn't there any news from the Supervisory Hall?"
There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Wang Jingyun.
Shenbing Valley is divided into inner and outer areas, with five inner halls and eight outer halls. Wang Jingyun is one of the eight elders of the outer sect.
"This is my fault. I will apologize for it when the Valley Master returns to the mountain."
Wang Jingyun put down the letter in his hand and said in a hoarse voice:
"But now is not the time to raise troops to investigate. This palace meeting is to discuss how to deal with it."
While speaking, he glanced at Feng Zhongji, who sighed and nodded:
"What Elder Wang said is true. This moment is indeed not the time to ask questions."
There was fatigue in his voice, and it was obvious that even he was a little exhausted mentally and physically from running around during this time.
Lei Jingchuan looked at Wang Jingyun coldly: "Is it the Zhenwu Hall?"
"No evidence."
Wang Jingyun did not deny that the Zhelong Mansion only had the government office and the Zhenwu Hall to hide such good forces under his nose.
"This account will have to be settled sooner or later!"
Lei Jingchuan asked again: "What's the situation outside the city?"
Wang Jingyun looked into the hall and saw a disciple whose clothes were stained with blood:
"You tell me."
"yes."
The disciple hurriedly bowed and repeated what he had said before.
Nine days ago, Shi Hong led more than a thousand divine guards to return to Fucheng. Because the large group of troops marched slowly, he sent a team of elite troops to travel lightly.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an ambush on the road. After a bloody battle, hundreds of people were killed, and only a few disciples managed to escape.
The person who took action was none other than Sanyuanwu's number one contemporary true biography, Qi Ying.
"Qi Ying led hundreds of people to ambush you. How did you escape?"
Lei Jingchuan frowned and called to stop.
Li Yuan was also slightly moved. He had collected information about several other major sects in Huizhou.
He was also somewhat impressed by Qi Ying.
A disciple of Wan Ya, the leader of the Sanyuanwu Sect, he is the number one true disciple in the contemporary era, has a thorough cultivation, has superb swordsmanship, and his martial arts talent is not inferior to that of Shi Hong.
"this……"
The disciple's face turned pale.
"Then what?"
Lei Jingchuan asked subconsciously, but felt that the tone was not good, so he comforted him a few times and motioned for him to continue.
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Okay, you go and get a bottle of Bu Yuan Dan so that you can rest and recuperate."
"Thank you, elder."
The disciple respectfully stepped back.
"Since it's an ambush, there won't be any survivors left. I'm afraid Qi Ying wants to transfer us out of the city!"
At this time, Wang Jingyun spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.
Only Lei Jingchuan frowned:
"My senior brother has been out of the city for several days!"
Feng Zhong nodded and looked over with some doubts:
"Before the news came, Elder Jing had already left the house. I'm afraid he got the information in advance, but why didn't you wait for me?"
Lei Jingchuan shook his head to express his ignorance.
However, Li Yuan's heart moved slightly. Seeing that Feng Zhong was looking at him, he talked about the causes and consequences of the siege and suppression of the ruined temple that night.
He suspected that Jing Shuhu learned about this from Su Wanxiong and left in a hurry after knowing that the situation was urgent.
"You said that Elder Jing suspected that there were followers of the evil god in the ruined temple, so he took action directly?"
All the elders and guardians in the hall were a little surprised.
This doesn't look like something Jing Shuhu would do...
"yes."
Li Yuan didn't want to take credit, so he naturally picked it out.
"Is it possible that Sanyuanwu is also connected with the Evil God Cult?"
At this time, Feng Zhong's frown deepened, and the other elders and protectors also realized something, with ugly expressions on their faces.
"First Qianjun Cave, then Sanyuanwu... There are four major sects in Huizhou, and two of them are connected with the Evil God Sect? No, I'm afraid there are more than two. That Blood Mountain..."
Li Yuan was a little frightened and thought about a lot of things.
'Perhaps the reason why Lao Han and the others want to destroy Qianjun Cave is that they have realized that these major sects have also been connected with the Evil God Cult, and they want to destroy them one by one? "
As the thoughts in his mind changed, Li Yuan became more and more uneasy. This battle was much more dangerous than the sect wars in the previous hundreds of years.
Thinking back to the murder of the palace master a few years ago, the assassination of the second elder of Zhubing Valley, various counties and counties rebelled one after another, and blood sacrifices occurred...
When these things were connected one by one, he vaguely felt like there was a big net covering the outside.
"The water is too deep!"
The elders and guardians in the main hall were still discussing and arguing. Li Yuan held the letter in his hands. He was a little ashamed that his first thought was to run away.
"I, Li Yuan, the true successor of the Divine Weapon Valley, a wizard of weapon casting, and a future divine craftsman, my reputation, status, and wealth are all here...
No, I still want to run! "
Looking at the elders and guardians who had been arguing for a long time without any idea, Li Daoye felt more and more that a storm was coming and the building was about to collapse.
No one should be afraid of this!
…
This quarrel lasted for an hour or two. It was late at night, and there was no result from the discussion.
Finally, Fengzhong had spoken and summoned all the disciples, including the handyman disciples who had left the sect, to actively prepare for the war.
At the same time, Feige and others sent a message to the Valley Master, the other inner sect elders, and other sects under their jurisdiction.
Shenbing Valley is the largest sect in Hidden Dragon Mansion, but there are also many small and medium-sized sects below. Duanmusheng has been transferred once before.
"follow me."
After leaving the palace gate, Lei Jingchuan looked unhappy and worried.
Li Yuan followed and was silent all the way.
It wasn't until they arrived at Hantan Cave that Lei Jingchuan spoke:
"Do you think that the so-called elder protectors are just a bunch of people who don't live up to their name?"
"……No."
Li Yuan almost choked and waved his hands quickly.
"I think so too."
Lei Jingchuan sneered: "The Valley Master wants a quick victory when he goes to war. It will be decided in one battle. Naturally, the elite will go out in full force, leaving behind..."
He paused and said, "Except for me and my senior fellow apprentices, um, Lao Feng and Duan Musheng, the others are just drunkards who indulge in pleasure and have no desire to make progress."
"ah?"
Li Yuan looked up, and he actually saw a hint of wisdom on the face of this rough man.
"The valley owner had anticipated this turmoil as early as five or six years ago.
Constantly recruiting guests and protectors from various places..."
Lei Jingchuan said secretly.
Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, but this was one of the pieces of information that he had never been able to find out before.
"The turmoil in Huizhou is really a natural disaster. I and others don't know the reason. However, the arrival of Wanchuan revealed something..."
Lei Jingchuan sighed, feeling that disaster had fallen from the sky:
"It should be that six years ago, in the East China Sea, a negative palace spirit turtle fell from the sky and landed on the shore of the East China Sea..."
"The Negative Palace Turtle?"
Li Yuan was excited and remembered Wang Wenyuan's letter. The old master also mentioned this matter in his letter.
And according to what was revealed in his letter, it was the Evil God Cult Leader who was eyeing the Valley of Divine Weapons, or in other words, the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer...
"This is a disaster that fell from the sky. Whether you know the cause or not, it doesn't really mean anything."
Lei Jingchuan rubbed his temples, feeling quite stressed.
"This is indeed a disaster coming from heaven."
Li Yuan maintained the shock on his face and felt a little heavy in his heart.
The Evil God Sect has an inextricable relationship with the imperial court, and is an enemy of all the major sects in the Four Seas and Five Realms. However, it has survived for thousands of years, which shows how powerful its power is.
Being targeted by such a behemoth...
"The Valley Master has been planning for several years and has a way to deal with this turmoil. You don't have to worry too much."
Seeing that Li Yuan was worried, Lei Jingchuan comforted him.
"What's the solution?"
Li Yuan was a little surprised.
"What the Evil God Sect is spying on is the legendary Divine Weapon of Destiny, but at its root, it's just the cold pool in our Divine Weapon Valley."
Lei Jingchuan glanced at the deep cold pool water under the pit:
"The owner of the valley said that the inheritance of our ancestors cannot be lost, but if something cannot be done, it can be abandoned!"
Good guy, so decisive?
Hearing these words, Li Yuan's view of the Valley Master suddenly changed a lot. Not everyone has this kind of courage.
The ancestral foundation is not only the Shenbing Mountain, but also Zhelong Mansion, the most prosperous city in Huizhou!
so……
Li Yuan reacted quickly: "So, the Valley Master came out in full force, determined to win Qianjun Cave?"
"good!"
Lei Jingchuan was very satisfied with his reaction. Who said blacksmiths can't use their brains?
This guy reacts very quickly!
Changing homes?
After saying this, many doubts in Li Yuan's heart were suddenly cleared away. No wonder not even an inner sect elder was left behind this time.
"No wonder..."
"But, this is the last option."
Lei Jingchuan stood up and looked around the Hantan Cave: "This is the best place for forging weapons in Huizhou. The ancestors have inherited the mountain gate for 1,400 years..."
There was some reluctance in his eyes.
"Where the people are, the mountain gate is there."
Li Yuan comforted him, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
It turned out that not only he wanted to run away, but Lao Han and the Valley Master also wanted to run away.
Well, the heroes think alike?
"This matter is top secret. If it weren't for you, I would never say a word."
Lei Jingchuan warned with a straight face.
He knew that the elders and protectors left by the Valley Master in the mountains, apart from being too conspicuous in large numbers, might not be without the intention of testing them.
But that's all for others, Li Yuan, he really doesn't want to be tested.
A disciple who has only been a disciple for less than a year, do you want others to live and die with you?
Even with such a hard heart, he felt that it was too harsh.
"Disciple, please remember this!"
Li Yuan responded solemnly, with distracting thoughts surging in his heart.
This is the benefit of a genius. If it were an ordinary disciple, it would be impossible to know such a top secret.
"During this period, I may have to go down the mountain, but you, no matter what, don't go down the mountain!"
Lei Jingchuan looked serious.
Li Yuan nodded. He was already considering selling the weapon forging shop. Of course, preparations for running away must be made as early as possible.
only……
After taking a look at the cold pool water, Li Yuan felt a little reluctant to leave. The Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer was still here. He didn't want to run away unless he had to.
"If I really want to run away, I have to try again, superimpose my hammering talent, and break into the Red Melt Cave..."
The thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind that he was really unwilling.
For more than half a year, he worked underground and worked hard in Chirong Cave for so many days, just for this Heavenly Fortune Mysterious Weapon.
No matter what, he wants to give it a try.
"Well, come with me."
After warning him, Lei Jingchuan thought for a while and led Li Yuan to another hidden tunnel.
"After this tunnel, there are thousands of different tunnels connected, leading to various parts of the Shenbing Mountains..."
Over the course of more than 1,400 years, the Shenbing Valley was hollowed out, of course, more than just an inner island. The Shenbing Mountain Gate was filled with various tunnels.
This is the final guarantee for the survival of the sect.
Even a master who is as strong as Zang Zang Refining will never be able to catch up with all the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley in such a complicated tunnel.
"In the next few days, I will send you a map just in case."
Lei Jingchuan let out a long breath. It was obvious that he had made this decision with great determination.
"Disciple will never reveal anything!"
Li Yuan bowed and his sleeves fell to the ground. He was truly grateful.
This tunnel map may seem useless, but to some extent it is the last resort for all the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley. If they don’t truly trust it, it will never be leaked to anyone.
"Um."
Lei Jingchuan waved his hand and didn't look back. He just looked at the crisscrossing deep tunnels, lost in thought.
"Disciple, please retire."
Li Yuan bowed and retreated.
After leaving the cave, he didn't waste a moment and went back to tidy up at night, mainly bringing the little mouse, various iron materials and bedding stored in the cave.
"call!"
Letting go of the little mouse who was very active after coming underground, Li Yuan shook his sleeves and walked towards Chirong Cave carrying various iron materials.
Prepare to hit the third heavy hammer first.
…
…
Huhu~
It is more than 700 miles northwest of Zhelongfu City.
Roaring, neighing, screams, clashing of swords, sounds of blood splattering...
In a windy and snowy night, thousands of people were fighting fiercely. One side was holding swords or clubs and spears, while the other side was holding swords and sickles of the same color.
"Kill!"
"kill!"
Amidst the sound of swords clashing, Long Sheng moved his swords and sticks together, leading the army to charge towards the elite of the Three Yuan Army who was ambushing here.
Shi Hong galloped forward on horseback and struck the target with his long sword, causing a bloody storm.
With a cold expression on his face, he looked at the young man riding a white horse and holding a long sickle by the dense forest:
"Qi Ying, you alone dare to ambush me, you really don't know how to live or die!"
"act recklessly?"
The young man glanced coldly, raised his sickle, and cast a cold light:
"Shi Hong, let me take you on your way!"
Zheng!
Shi Hong raised his sword and the dragon neighed:
"Brothers, follow me and charge!"
