In September 495 of the Tianwu calendar, decades after the news of Li Qiao's promotion and return to the virtual world was released, senior monks from the five immortal cultivating families, Li, Yu, Xi, Qiu and Lan, met and signed an alliance.
The other four cultivating families all came to have a god-transforming monk. When they met, they first met Li Qiao in a virtual avatar to confirm the authenticity of his virtual-returning cultivation, and then made an oath to each other.
The high-level monks of the five major cultivating families all left virtual clones in the same place to facilitate the exchange of information at any time, and then each major family made preparations.
In February 498 of the Tianwu calendar, seven high-level monks from five immortal cultivating families gathered together. One returned to the void and six transformed gods. First, they rushed to a certain place in a formation, and waited until they were still some distance away from a certain sect. , the seven high-level monks activated their spiritual pressure one after another, their flight paths were intertwined, and the area of influence spanned a distance of more than ten thousand miles.
They did not go directly to the sect, but began to circle far away from the sect. After almost a circle, they shortened the distance and continued to circle, gradually approaching the sect.
During this process, the seven high-level monks were not in any hurry or fast, trying to keep the minimum consumption on themselves.
The total number of Void-Returning Monks in the entire Cultivation World may be at least 100,000. One Void-Returning Monk is nothing to the entire Cultivation World, but it is different when dispersed into the huge Cultivation World. Many times, in some areas, It is the existence of the highest combat power.
There are a large number of immortal cultivating families near any sect, and they all have more or less relationships with the sect. To prevent any problems from occurring during the critical period of attacking the sect, an early clearing operation will be carried out.
Perhaps these cultivating families have only a minimal impact on the overall situation, but in such a critical matter, no unstable factors will be left alone.
It doesn't matter whether these cultivating families flee or hide, as long as the number of nearby monks is reduced to a certain level. If there are too many cultivating families left, the elite cultivators from the five major families who come after them will deal with them directly or kill them directly. , or used as cannon fodder as the situation changes.
Many high-level monks passed by at the same time releasing their spiritual pressure. Any cultivating family knows what this means. But for some monks who are alone outside, encountering this situation, there is fear and a hint of envy. I don’t know how many monks there are. At this moment, I hope that I will reach such a state in the future.
In the area where high-level monks fly, some low-level monks will occasionally be killed. Except for some unlucky ones who happen to fall within the range of high-level monks, they are some monks who dare to peek.
Feeling the blood and death makes it less likely for the surrounding cultivating families to have any luck.
It was impossible for the sect not to notice such a big movement. Soon the monks who were still outside the sect quickly returned. With the appearance of this group of high-level monks, the area became quiet and solemn.
"Are there other Void Return monks coming to attack the sect?" A new foundation builder in the sect looked quite worried after hearing the news.
"Just fight, it's good to be able to fight." A veteran foundation-building monk from the sect didn't seem to care at all.
For the sect monks, there is no shortage of magical weapons and various inheritances, but due to the sect's quota limit, it is not easy to be promoted. If other forces come to attack the sect, not only will they have the opportunity to obtain a large amount of resources, but if they perform well, they will also get promotion opportunities. If many of their own monks die, it will be easier to continue to be promoted in the future.
The new Foundation Architect is not stupid at all. Hearing the veteran Foundation Architect say this, he directly asked: "Can't the sect lose?"
"Losing? How could you lose? Those who come to attack the sect are basically newcomers. It is impossible for our sect leader to lose." After the veteran foundation builder said this, his tone became a little lower: "I'm afraid There was no chance of a fight."
As time passed, Li Qiao and other seven high-level monks finally appeared outside the sect, far away from the place where the sect's formation could directly attack.
At this time, it was very quiet outside the sect, and no single monk could be seen.
At this time, they did not attack the sect directly or do anything. Instead, they stayed quietly in the sky outside the sect and waited quietly.
There is a feeling in attacking a sect.
The situation is what the attacking side least wants to happen, that is, the other side can find other Void-Returning monks, or come from the same sect, or be friends with other Void-Returning monks.
Faced with this situation, one must give up. Therefore, when attacking a sect, one usually does not rush to attack, but leaves time for the opponent to find helpers. It can be said that Li Qiao and others were surrounding the sect before. Also waiting for this time.
This situation has happened so often that some agreed upon rules have emerged in the world of immortality. For example, the waiting period for attacking a sect is usually one month. The time has not yet come, and there are still a few days left.
Of course, you can not abide by the rules, and you can directly take action if you are sure that the other party will not have help. But in the world of immortality, who can fully understand the situation of other forces? Under normal circumstances, we don’t want a lose-lose situation to occur.
"Why did fellow Taoist choose me here? Are you sure you are my opponent?" At a certain moment, such a voice came out, and then a figure appeared at the edge of the sect's formation.
This is the Void Returning cultivator within the sect. After the words fell, this Void Returning cultivator also released his spiritual pressure.
Li Qiao was not surprised when he felt the intensity of the spiritual pressure of this sect's return to the void. However, although the expressions of the several god-transforming monks who followed him did not change, their hearts sank slightly.
Four other god-transformation monks from other cultivating families thought that Li Qiao was so anxious to attack the sect because he had found a soft persimmon. He was not the kind who was about to expire and his strength was seriously damaged.
The result was not like this. No abnormality could be seen from the other party, and the cultivation progress during the return stage was much better than that of Li Qiao. Although a monk's spiritual pressure is not a complete representation of his strength, it does reflect his level of progress. But it is clear at a glance.
However, the covenant has been signed, and there is nothing to say. We can only follow Li Qiao, the monk who returns to the void. In the world of immortality, it is not that there are those who rely on life and death to snatch spiritual veins, but the possibility is very high. Low.
For Li Qiao, it was so easy to find a sect that was easy to attack. Rather than not knowing how much time would be wasted, it would be better to find one and give it a try.
"You won't know whether you are a match or not until you try."
"You're not even willing to give up?" You think so because the sect's cultivator has never seen Li Qiao touch his own strength before, and thought he came here because he heard false news from somewhere. As a result, That doesn't seem to be the case now.
"Everyone is already here." When he said this, Li Qiao had already begun to plan how to take action.
"Brother Liansheng, I just said it's useless to rely on you alone. How about that? You guessed it wrong!" As the words fell, another monk walked out of the sect, and his spiritual pressure was released at the same time. He is a monk who returns to the void.
"I didn't expect that the juniors nowadays are more arrogant." The sect Huixu looked at Li Qiao at the beginning and replied casually.
The moment the second Void-Returning cultivator appeared, the six Spirit-Transforming cultivators following Li Qiao quickly retreated and did not stop until they were a teleport away from here.
A bad situation arose. The opponent had two Void-Returning monks, and the sect could not defeat them no matter what. However, in the face of this situation, Li Qiao and others did not completely retreat.
Generally, the spiritual veins of a sect are only enough for one cultivator to return to the void. In particular, it takes a long time to cultivate to the point of returning to the void. In addition, due to the time lost in snatching the spiritual veins, there are very few people who can cultivate to the point of returning to the void and still have some leftovers. The situation of a large amount of longevity.
In addition, when a Void-Returning monk consumes too much mana, it can only be restored through a large amount of spiritual energy from the spiritual veins. A sect's spiritual vein is almost like a personal item to a Void-Returning monk, so there are many people in a sect. There are at least two Void Return cultivators, and even if they appear, the one who appears later cannot stay in the sect for a long time.
Everyone knows that a sect with two return to the void monks is difficult to attack, but it is rare that a sect is allowed to have two return to the void, and they do not want to face the risk of losing the sect, so it is inevitable that they will ask for help from other returns to the void. The situation of the monks.
If a void-returning monk appears to help, the monks who attack the sect will immediately retreat. Then there is no need to think about attacking the sect. As long as two void-returning monks with the sect's spiritual veins support each other.
So at this time, there is also a subtle rule
, which was obtained through other means by other Void-Returning monks who attacked the sect.
That is, since the Void-Returning monks who are assisting in the battle are here, they must stay here for three months, and the party attacking the sect will retreat directly.
During this period of time, there will be a lot of rumors about the appearance of two Void Return monks attacking the sect here, and some powerful ones will use various means to affect the surrounding message transmission and the operation of the teleportation array.
If the Void-Returning cultivators who are assisting in the battle leave midway, it would be nice to have a way to leave quietly. If not, the attacking Void-Returning cultivators will follow directly behind them...
In short, they are some means of mutual restraint under various circumstances, so that other Void Return monks will not easily come to help, which is not absolute.
The God-Transformation monks on Li Qiao's side retreated because there were two Void-Returning monks on the other side, making it possible to counterattack.
The other party may not have the idea of killing their side. Faced with this situation, they can choose to deal with it as much as possible, or they can choose to leave directly.
It all depends on how Li Qiao and Li Qiao choose.
Although the two sides are within a flash distance at this moment, their spiritual consciousness is within the range of contact with each other.
It was okay to face a returning cultivator before, but now facing two people, Li Qiao's consciousness was completely at a disadvantage.
Although he could not be a match for the two Void-Returning monks, leaving directly was not an option for him.
The short distance also has the advantage of being close, that is, if two Void Return monks use teleportation at the same time, they can detect it immediately.
If this happens, he will definitely choose to teleport back as soon as possible and stay in place waiting for the two Void Return monks to cooperate in their calculations. The situation is definitely not good.
"Since you think I'm arrogant, then the new fellow Taoist should stay here for three months."
This sect was carefully selected by Li Qiao. When he checked, there was no second Void Returning monk here. It was obvious that he was from outside. It was impossible not to hate him.
The two Huixu didn't directly leave each other's confidence, nor did they try to take action directly. After hearing Li Qiao and Li Qiao's words, the sect Huixu who appeared first asked with a gloomy face: "Why are you willing to retreat?"
For him, it was okay to let other Huixu help him temporarily. If he really stayed here for three months, the debt he owed would be huge, and if this situation happened again in the future, the other party's help would probably be smaller.
Many times, when facing a sect being attacked and seeking help from others to return to the void, whether the other party will come or not will only be known when the time comes.
"You won't give me what I want. It's useless to say more."
All Li Qiao wanted was spiritual veins. Since the matter failed, the disruptor would have to pay a price.
"In addition to facing dangers that may appear at any time, what else can you gain by staying here? Are you sure you can stop the transmission of information here? If you choose the wrong target, don't keep making mistakes."
Hearing these words, Li Qiao immediately understood that the other party was also a Huixu with a sect. Without a sect, he would not care about wasting some time here.
You have a sect and you still dare to mess around! At this moment, Li Qiao didn't know whether to praise the other party for his courage, or to be angry that the other party looked down on him.
"If you have the guts to come, do you have the guts to reveal your true face?" Li Qiao has secretly seen the faces of many sects who have returned to the void. If he has seen the other sect, he can definitely confirm the location of the other sect.
In response, the other party just smiled disdainfully, saying that he was not that stupid.
Faced with this situation, Li Qiao didn't bother to waste any more words, but directly entered the invisible state in front of the two returning monks. In the past, he was weak and worried about being exposed, but now he doesn't care much.
Faced with the monk who disappeared directly within the scope of his consciousness, after trying some methods, he still couldn't find it. The faces of the two returning monks gradually turned gloomy.
"I should wait until there is a fight before taking action." The Void Returning monk who appeared later said this.
In fact, doing this is just one more opportunity to plot against Li Qiao. After failure, the situation will still be like this. For the monks who return to the void, the casualties caused by the return to the void are insignificant.
After that, Li Qiao did not delay the return monk for three months.
Ran away quietly.
But he will not continue to attack this sect. At the critical moment, it will be disgusting if the returning monk who ran away comes back. However, he will never let go of this sect and the returning cultivator who helped out in the future.
If the other party really stays here for three months and the opponent's strength is too strong to defeat him, Li Qiao has nothing to say, but this kind of thing is a bit disgusting.
The world of cultivating immortals can have rules or no rules. It all depends on the monks' choices and whether they can face the consequences.
"Why don't you wait?" Faced with this situation, some god-transformation monks from other families tried to ask this question.
This wait means that the entire attack on the sect is postponed.
