The Yuanwu Kingdom is located due north of the Yue Kingdom, and its southernmost point is adjacent to Jianzhou, a large northern state of the Yue Kingdom. This place used to be the territory of Huang Maple Valley, one of the seven sects, but now it has long been transformed into a branch of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Mo Juren did not set off for Yuanwu Kingdom immediately, but first flew to a mountain range in Jianzhou. This mission is to be completed together with the team of monks from the Demon Flame Sect, and this is the agreed meeting place.
Because of the delay of more than ten days, the other party had arrived before him. As soon as Qingzhou stopped, he immediately saw a lot of people moving in a valley below. There were twenty or thirty people in number. Each one was wearing a bright red robe. They were obviously members of the Demon Flame Sect. people.
Sensing Qing Zhou's arrival, three rays of red light flew up from below at high speed and were close in a blink of an eye. The moment he saw these people, Mo Juren's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
"Brother Mo, Junior Sister Han, long time no see." Wearing a red dress and smiling sweetly, the person who came was none other than Lian Feihua and her two late-stage Foundation Establishment guards.
"Senior Sister..." Han Yunzhi nodded slightly.
"It's you. When did you arrive?" Putting away the surprise in his heart, Mo Juren also asked with a smile.
"We arrived two days ago. Fortunately, you are the one leading the team, Brother Mo. Otherwise, I would have had to argue with you after making me wait for so long." Lian Feihua raised her pink fist, looking like I was very angry.
"It's Mo's fault. Please forgive me, Junior Sister." Mo Juren quickly cupped his hands and apologized.
"Just apologizing with words is not enough. There must be some practical actions." A hint of cunning flashed in Lian Feihua's eyes, and then she said, "Okay, can Tianhua Building increase its supply of spiritual talismans appropriately in the future?"
"No problem." Mo Juren chuckled. Anyway, he didn't lose anything, so it didn't matter if he agreed.
Hearing this, Lian Feihua suddenly looked happy and felt very satisfied. It's not because he is greedy for the profit brought by the magic talisman, but because the spiritual talisman refined by the other party is really easy to use. Even whenever there is a new supply, she will secretly withhold part of it for her own use.
Having agreed on the matter, Lian Feihua no longer dwelled on the matter and was planning to discuss the mission with her counterpart. However, he suddenly noticed something, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Mo, you have made a breakthrough!"
"It's just a fluke." Mo Juren nodded and did not deny it.
"There's no such thing as luck." After hearing such an answer, Lian Feihua couldn't help but shake her head slightly. However, she thought that although she was only in the middle stage of foundation building, as long as she practiced seriously, it would be a matter of time before she could break through to the later stage. There was no need to envy her. other side.
Put away your thoughts and immediately start discussing this mission with the other party.
The conflict between good and evil in the Yuanwu Kingdom seems to be easier to deal with than in the Yue Kingdom. However, due to the secret support of the Fengdu Kingdom's Righteous Alliance, many changes occurred. At the very least, this mission deep behind enemy lines is not that simple.
"For this mission, my little sister not only brought twenty Crazy Flame cultivators, but also a formation master to accompany them, specially used to deal with the Ten Thousand Wood Formation."
"Master of Formation!" Mo Juren was a little surprised. There is certainly no shortage of Formation Masters from all sects, but there are very few who can truly be called masters, and the level of Grandmaster is even rarer. It is not easy to get a formation master to accompany you on a mission. If the other party is not the daughter of the master of the Demon Flame Sect, it is probably not possible.
The other party was able to bring a formation master, which was really beyond his expectation. In this way, it saved him from having to take action himself.
In fact, he originally planned to ask Xin Ruyin to come with him, but when he thought about the uncertainty about the safety of this mission and the opponent's strength was too low, he finally gave up. Therefore, just asking the other party to come up with several solutions based on the characteristics of the Ten Thousand Wood Formation would have no impact.
"Can you please ask the master of the formation to come up to Qingzhou to talk about it, so that he can talk about his ideas on how to break this formation on the way?"
"Invite him to come over?" Lian Feihua was startled, as if she suddenly thought of something, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she said with a mysterious smile,
"OK!"
After a moment, Mo Juren was speechless as he looked at the densely packed red figures of no fewer than twenty people on Qingzhou. You girl is so naughty. I just invited the formation master to come over. Didn’t I say I would invite everyone?
"Brother Mo's Qingzhou is a big place, so it's not very crowded anyway. Besides, there are so many dead faces there, so it's so boring, but your place is more lively. It just so happens that my younger sister and Junior Sister Han haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's easy to talk on the road. Talk." Lian Feihua held Han Yunzhi's arm tightly, her face was full of smiles, and she obviously had no intention of going down.
"It's up to you." Mo Juren didn't bother to care about this. He turned his head and looked to one side. There was an old man in red robe standing there. His cultivation was in the late stage of foundation building. His expression was a bit serious and he looked unsmiling.
"This is Master Luan, one of the top formation masters in the Demon Flame Sect." Lian Feihua took the initiative to introduce him, then turned around and said, "As for Master Mo of Tianhua Tower, Mr. Luan should be familiar with him."
"Master Mo is not only the owner of Tianhua Building, but also a master of Fu Dao. His reputation has already spread throughout the six sects. How could I not know about it? I have been interested in meeting him for a long time, but today my wish was fulfilled."
"Fellow Daoist Luan is ridiculous." Mo Juren nodded and continued, "This time to crack the Ten Thousand Woods Formation, Mo got some inspiration from a friend who is proficient in the formation. I happened to have nothing to do on the way, so I can discuss it with fellow Taoist One or two.”
"I am honored to be able to listen to the opinions of other formation masters."
The two exchanged a few words and seemed to know each other. However, there was no further delay. The cyan light emerged again and shot through the sky in the direction of Yuanwu Kingdom.
…
In the War of the Yue Kingdom a few years ago, in addition to the frontal battlefield, the Six Demonic Sects sent a large number of elite teams deep behind enemy lines and carried out crazy destruction of raw materials, elixir plantations, large and small spiritual mines and other important producing areas in the Yue Kingdom, resulting in The logistics of the seven factions have serious problems, and their war potential has plummeted.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, in the three years of peace after the War of Yue, the righteous factions of Yuanwu and Zijin sent heavy troops to defend their various resource producing areas, and even deployed a large number of high-level defensive formations. .
This move is indeed cruel enough. At least it won't be that easy for the Six Sects to operate like last time.
However, the Six Sects are not vegetarians. Although there has been no war in the past three years, their secret activities have never stopped. Through a large amount of infiltration and co-optation, not only the local demonic sects, but also many families on the righteous side have wavered, and many have secretly surrendered.
The three major sects of the Righteous Way probably also guessed this situation. Therefore, they formed a joint law enforcement team as early as three years ago. Any force found to have a tendency to defect to the enemy and rebel, regardless of their background, will be mercilessly confiscated and exterminated. .
Shuozhou, Qiyang Mountains
This is a huge mountain range located in the eastern region of Yuanwu Kingdom. It stretches for nearly a thousand miles from east to west. It has countless high mountains, deep valleys and dangerous peaks, and there are countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that are rampant, making ordinary people dare not approach it at all.
And deep in the mountains, in a bottomless canyon, there is a large spiritual stone mine. The amount of spiritual stone reserves among them can be ranked among the top five in the entire Yuanwu Kingdom.
At this time, in a room somewhere in the spiritual mine, a silver-haired man wearing a gray robe, about forty years old and with a cold expression was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Suddenly, as if he sensed something, his eyes suddenly opened.
"Elder Yue, Qin Yang from the Qin family reported that the other party has news."
"Is it finally here?" A sneer flashed in the silver-haired man's eyes, and then he said, "Go and inform everyone so that everyone can be prepared."
"yes"
"Demon way, Yulingzong, haha..."
There was a deep sneer in the room.
…
Time goes back to one day ago.
On the edge of Shuozhou, over a very wide dense forest, a green light flew rapidly. Suddenly, it suddenly stopped, suspended in mid-air and stopped moving forward.
Lian Feihua was a little surprised. She looked forward with beautiful eyes and saw that Mo Juren had a crimson ball in his hand. While he was groping for it, his expression became even more dignified.
"We are not far from the spirit mine, why did Brother Mo stop suddenly? But what are you worried about?" Lian Feihua frowned and asked in confusion.
"You have also read the information from the Qin family. Do you feel anything is wrong?" Mo Juren did not answer immediately and asked instead.
"What's wrong?" Lian Feihua was startled for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"This Qin family was contacted by me personally three years ago, and one year later they chose to join us, the Yuling Sect. They also performed well in the next two years, passing on a lot of secret information about the Divine Weapon Sect." Mo Juren briefly told the story and then said,
"However, the information from the other party this time was suddenly changed to the spiritual mine belonging to Wanmiao Temple. Isn't it a little strange? Moreover, the Qin family's secret man is in the spiritual mine. According to the agreement, he will wait for us when we arrive. We must give the opponent a warning in advance so that they have time to prepare. When a general attack is launched, the opponent will wait for an opportunity to take action and destroy the formation from within, thereby helping us."
"The three righteous sects of the Yuanwu Kingdom have formed an offensive and defensive alliance. Is it normal for the disciples to join forces to garrison the spiritual mine?" Lian Feihua thought for a while and then said,
"Furthermore, I have also learned about the Ten Thousand Woods Formation. It is by no means an ordinary formation. Even if it is destroyed from the inside, it is not that easy. What's more, there are many eyes watching, so it is understandable that the other party should make some preparations in advance."
"Maybe I'm worrying too much." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, but for some reason, there was always an inexplicable irritability in his heart, as if his soul was warning.
If it were anyone else, they might not be too lazy to think about it. After all, there are more than forty monks in the foundation building stage, including several who are in the late stage of foundation building. They are powerful enough to deal with most crises. There is no need to worry about anything.
However, his cautious and suspicious character prevents him from letting go of any abnormal situations.
Nothing in this world is eternal, and promises cannot be foolproof. The current situation is different from three years ago. At that time, due to the defeat of the Yue Kingdom, the Yuanwu Kingdom, which participated in the joint operation, also suffered a lot of losses and was not an opponent of the Demonic Way in any case. Not only the Qin family, but too many family forces see no hope, and choosing to rebel is the wisest choice.
However, time has changed and the current situation has undergone new changes. Yuanwu Kingdom and Zijin Kingdom both received secret support from the Fengdu Kingdom's Righteous Alliance, and their strength soared instantly, and they were evenly matched with the demonic factions of the two countries on the frontline battlefield.
In this case, will the many forces that have chosen to betray them waver again? These forces are all outsiders and have no trust at all. It is not impossible to betray them again and set a trap for them in turn.
Mo Juren didn't want to put his life on the integrity of the other party. He thought for a while and then said: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll be back when I go."
After saying that, he took Han Yunzhi beside him and flew straight down into the dense forest below.
Lian Feihua was a little curious, and then she let go of her spiritual sense to investigate, wanting to know what the other party planned to do? After a moment, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his expression, and he laughed dumbly and said: "This Brother Mo is too careful."
Deep in the dense forest,
Mo Juren let go of his consciousness and observed carefully for a while, and vaguely determined something. Then a light flashed in his hand, revealing a wide box two feet long. After opening it, an astonishing burst of spiritual energy hit my face, but there were dozens of array disks and no less than seventy or eighty array flags.
This is another improved version of Xin Ruyin's 'Inverted Five Elements Formation', and its power has reached more than 50% of the original formation. According to the other party, monks in the early stage of forming a pill have no possibility of escaping from this formation. Even a strong person in the middle stage of forming a pill will have a very difficult time escaping from the formation in a short period of time without special means.
Mo Juren believed this. The second-generation version of the inverted five-element formation was only 30% as powerful as the original formation. However, only a small part of the formation could trap the Yue Emperor at the peak of foundation building. Not to mention the current third edition, if fully laid out, its power is absolutely beyond imagination.
The sudden warning in his mind just now made him very vigilant, and he really couldn't feel at ease without making some preparations in advance.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. As he waved his arms, all the formation disks and formation flags were suspended in the air, and then under his control, they gradually submerged into the surrounding ground one by one.
The new version of the 'Inverted Five Elements Formation' was much more complicated than before. Even though he had already broken through to the late stage of foundation building and had extremely strong mana, it still took him most of a day to complete the layout.
He handed a control order flag to Han Yunzhi beside him and said, "I'll leave the formation to you. I won't use my best. If there is any sudden situation, this is my retreat."
"Brother Mo must be careful himself." Han Yunzhi naturally would not disobey the other party and said with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Mo Juren raised his hand and touched the other person's head, and said with a smile, "With my current strength, I dare not say that I am invincible. There is no problem in protecting myself."
After saying that, he didn't waste any more time and directly jumped into the air, flying rapidly towards Qing Zhou in mid-air. On the ground, Han Yunzhi looked up at the sky, his jade hands holding the flag turning slightly white. Of course she knew that what she just said was just for comfort. This was the Yuanwu Kingdom after all, and no one could guarantee whether she would encounter a higher-level powerhouse.
Unfortunately, she had no choice but to pray secretly in her heart that Brother Mo would be fine, he would be fine...
…
"Brother Mo is so cautious, which is actually a bit beyond my expectations." On the green boat, looking at Mo Juren returning, Lian Feihua chuckled.
"Just be prepared." Mo Juren didn't explain too much. After all, things like spiritual warnings are a bit mysterious and cannot be explained clearly. I couldn't tell others that I suddenly felt a little inexplicably irritable, so I specially arranged a backup plan.
Putting away his thoughts, he turned his palm again and took out the red cloud bead. No longer hesitating, he raised his hand and injected a burst of mana into the bead. In an instant, the red light surged, flashed several times, and then became silent again.
At the same time, in a room a hundred miles away, a young man in black robe suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at the crimson orbs flickering slightly on the table in the distance, there was a hint of strange color in his eyes.
"Are you here?" The young man in black robe sneered, then put the ball away and hurried out of the room.
