"Two hundred and forty-six iron-winged condors, kill them all!"
Yan Zhen cleaned up the battlefield and then came to report. With a solemn look, he bowed and saluted: "If it hadn't been for Venerable Lu's intervention, I'm afraid we would all have been buried under the iron-winged eagle."
When he said this, he looked ashamed and lowered his head slightly.
Among those present, Venerable Lu was the leader.
Normally speaking, it is extremely rare for the "leader" to take the lead and rush to kill the enemy for the first time.
He also participated in the battle that was called up by the Zhenyang Palace ten years ago.
A large number of monsters and practitioners were fighting in the south of Twenty-four Mountains, causing countless casualties.
The powerful people at the top of Zhenyang Palace are all ready and waiting for the demon king from the southern mountains to appear.
At that time, King Zhenyang had the highest level of cultivation. He did not suffer any casualties among his soldiers, so he personally went to kill the large number of monsters.
The prince sat firmly on the high platform and waited until the demon king appeared before holding his seal and fighting!
But when he faced the iron-winged condor just now, in less than thirty breaths, Venerable Lu was forced to fight.
If this matter spreads out, it will only mean that this group of cultivators are too useless.
"It's because I'm not good at learning, so I'm sorry to bother Venerable Lu to take action."
The head of the Luo family came forward and bowed down, also showing a look of shame.
"..."
Lu Wan rubbed his eyebrows and said nothing.
In fact, he still felt in his heart that he was sorry for the first few Qi Refining Realm practitioners who were casualties by not taking action at the first time.
But he took a deep breath and did not take up the topic after all. He only asked in a deep voice: "What are the casualties?"
Yan Zhen paused for a moment and then said: "In the Daoji realm, one person died and two were injured."
The head of the Luo family then responded: "Seven people were killed in the Qi Refining Realm and sixteen were injured, four of whom were seriously injured."
These were the casualties caused by annihilating the remaining iron-winged condors after the fall of the Eagle King.
Among them, there were hundreds of iron-winged eagles that died under Lu Wan's sword.
There were twenty or thirty iron-winged condors, which were beaten to death by the white apes.
"Um?"
Lu Wan glanced at the crowd and frowned slightly.
He walked forward and looked at the young man on the ground.
Li Qi from the Gray Spirit Sect was lying on the ground. There was a claw mark under his neck, and the crack was extremely deep.
Blood gushed out, Qi surged, and the medicine couldn't stop it.
When he was following the Yan family members to pursue the Iron-winged Condor, he pushed away a practitioner at the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm.
With a backhand sword, he slashed through the abdomen of the iron-winged condor.
But his chest was also torn open by claws.
Just now, members of the Yan family came to rescue him. Seeing that the medicine was useless, they thought he was dead.
Therefore, Li Qi was not among the four seriously injured people, but was listed among the seven people who died.
At this moment, Li Qi looked at the blue sky and white clouds, his eyes were in a trance, and his vision gradually dimmed.
He had many regrets in his heart.
For example, the Taoist inheritance of Huiling Mountain.
For example, the girl Qiaoer at the foot of Huiling Mountain.
There are also Xuantian Guan’s unpredictable skills.
The leader wants all his disciples to devote themselves to Xuantian Temple and seek higher prospects. Even if this generation can no longer go higher, the next generation should be better than the current small and run-down sect.
I thought so too.
Climbing the big tree called Xuantianguan, the future is promising, but it’s a pity that I can’t see it.
The first time he went into battle with Xuantian Guan, he was about to die halfway.
They said they were here to defend the Seventh Mountain, but they couldn't even see what the Seventh Mountain looked like.
"I originally thought that with my talent, I could become a disciple of Xuantian Temple, learn more advanced techniques, and be able to achieve great things in the future."
"I originally thought that with my qualifications, I would be able to lurk in the abyss. I would not be shallow after all, and would be better than the ancestors of the Gray Spirit Sect in the future."
"Even if I can't refine the gods, I may be able to build a cauldron in my life."
"such a pity……"
As Li Qi thought this, his vision became blurry, but he heard a voice in his ears.
"You have good talent, but it's a pity that you are nothing if you don't grow up as a genius."
"There are always people with extraordinary talents in the world, but they often die before they grow into strong men."
"No matter how powerful a person is, it is very likely that he will die in obscurity in a cave."
"How much more is it just a genius with potential?"
This voice sounded familiar to Li Qi.
But he was no longer able to turn his head and look.
His consciousness was also blurred to the point of dissipation.
But in the remaining sight, he saw a young face.
That was Ambassador Lu Zuo.
"Everything in the world is impermanent. Strong men will fall and geniuses will die young."
Lu Wan said in a calm tone: "Don't just rely on your good talents to think that you will have great potential in the future! No one knows what tomorrow will bring..."
Is Master Lu going to teach me?
It's a pity it's too late!
Li Qi thought so in his heart.
"It's not too late."
Lu Wan picked a virtual flower and said, "This medicine can stop bleeding and increase its efficacy tenfold!"
When his voice fell, the medicine was poured out, and it was no longer dissipated by the blood containing the true energy.
After the wound healed, Li Qi's loss of vitality stopped.
"It's just to stop the bleeding temporarily and give you a chance to breathe, at most thirty breaths."
Lu Wan said calmly: "Practice your skills and use your true energy to repair the injury on your neck..."
He stood up and walked forward.
This time Li Qi was seriously injured, lost too much blood, and had lost his true energy, so his cultivation level was bound to plummet.
But in Lu Wan's eyes, this is not a bad thing. After all, the true energy gained through superficial cultivation is actually weaker.
This boy has been wandering between life and death. If he understands it, he will be blessed and can be of great use in the future.
"Under the magical power of Breaking the Illusion, these people who followed me to the Seventh Mountain have all seen it. This person has the highest talent!"
"The Hui Ling Sect was founded by a Sanxue monk, and the founder of the sect was only a first-time Taoist, and it was the lowest Taoist level!"
"This person practiced with such a superficial and incomplete technique, but he was able to reach the upper level of Qi Refining at the age of fifteen. His qualifications are not low, and he can be considered a talent."
"In the past two days, we will see how his character is before we decide whether to grant him the basic skills of Xuantian Temple."
After Lu Wan rescued Li Qi, he did not stop but moved forward.
He spent four more virtual flowers to save four other people who were seriously injured and about to die.
Everyone was astonished, and their hearts were filled with shock and awe.
"Venerable Lu's methods are truly unpredictable."
"Four seriously injured people, one of whom was almost dead, were brought back to life by his hands?"
"What method is this?"
"Is this the true inheritance of the No. 1 Sect of the Purple Sun Region?"
The shock, surprise, awe and other emotions coming from the practitioners present made the thunder tree shadow shine with white light, and in an instant, nearly forty virtual flowers appeared.
It took five false flowers to save people, but it shocked everyone's emotions and gave birth to nearly ten times as many magical flowers.
More importantly, after this battle, morale was greatly boosted!
Venerable Lu of Xuantian Temple does not treat people from various affiliated forces as chess pieces that can be discarded at will.
When the Iron-Winged Condor attacked, everyone could see that Venerable Lu took action personally in order to avoid greater casualties.
Now, Xuantian Guan's "secret method" is used to save five people who are dying.
From now on in the Seventh Mountain, as long as you don't die on the spot, there will be a glimmer of hope... the vitality that comes from Master Lu!
"You will follow me at Xuantian Temple this time to guard the Seventh Mountain and protect the common people from disasters!"
Lu Wan's tone was solemn and he said slowly: "You all participated in the battle with meritorious service!"
"We, Xuantian Guan, will do our best to save those who have meritorious deeds, and will never watch you die!"
He stood with his hands behind his hands and said: "From today's battle, all my subordinates under Xuantian Guan, whether they are disciples or affiliated forces, will be treated equally and rewarded according to their merits!"
He paused for a moment and then said: "We, Xuantian Guan, treat those who died in the war kindly, including their sects, families, and relatives of the Fuze family!"
——
The seventh mountain.
The Commander-in-Chief slowly exhaled.
Beside him was a soldier named Liang Jin.
"Previously, when the beast tide came, the Gong camp was unable to respond and released a large number of iron-winged condors. The entire army has been notified and heavy punishment will be imposed."
"How many iron-winged condors are there specifically?" the commander said calmly.
"Less than three hundred, but far more than two hundred." Liang Jin thought for a while and said: "During the melee, I couldn't count them all in detail, but they are around two hundred and five! There are eight of them, they are huge and should have the Taoist realm. The combat power...the Eagle King is more than ten feet tall, and he must be at the peak of Daoji!"
"This batch of iron-winged eagles is enough to sweep away a sect!" The commander laughed and said: "If Xuantianguan and his group include people who make tripods, the casualties will probably be smaller."
"What if not?" Liang Jin spoke at the right time. When he asked this question, he actually already had the answer in his heart, but he had to cater to the commander-in-chief's wishes after all.
"If not, the entire army will naturally be annihilated." The commander chuckled, with a rather proud look on his face.
"..."
At this moment, another soldier came quickly.
This man's appearance is quite similar to that of the soldier just now. He is a fellow brother.
This person's name is Liang Yuan and he is currently in charge of the Ordnance Department.
He looked solemn and whispered: "Sir, you have a message."
Seeing his serious expression, the commander couldn't help but feel a little cold.
"Iron-winged condors, all of them will be killed."
"Huh?" The commander-in-chief raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Xuan Tianguan is on this trip, is there anyone who is strong in making cauldrons?"
"No." Liang Yuan said: "Crazy Taoist boy Lu Wan took action, piercing the Eagle King with just one sword."
"..." The commander's face changed slightly, because even he, a practitioner who made the tripod, was not sure that he could kill the Eagle King in one face-to-face encounter.
"Sir, I think Lu Wan is still a Taoist." Liang Yuan said, "He should have the means given by Master Xuantian!"
"With the realm of Daoji, he showed off the combat power of the Casting Cauldron." The commander took off his helmet and said slowly: "To us, he is still just a Daoji, not enough... but his combat power is so high. It’s not a good thing.”
"The specific situation..."
Liang Yuan recounted the news from that "sir".
The iron-winged condor fought with Xuantianguan and his group. Within thirty breaths, Lu Wan could no longer hold back and took action himself.
Perhaps it was to show off his skills in front of everyone.
Perhaps he couldn't keep his composure, but the young man was passionate and faced him head-on.
But judging from the current situation, he is probably not cruel enough and is unwilling to watch practitioners from the same camp fall in front of him.
"No matter which one of these three points it is, it can be seen that he still has a young mentality and is not calm enough."
"This is his weakness. When he comes to the Seventh Mountain, he can act secretly based on this weakness."
"But having said that, I heard that he had not been able to reach perfection in the Qi Refining Realm a month ago. Today, not only has he built a Taoist platform, but his combat power is close to that of a casted cauldron. It is simply unimaginable."
The commander-in-chief held the long sword and said quietly: "From this point of view, it is understandable that he has reached the sky in a short period of time and still has a young mind!"
After finishing speaking, the commander was suddenly startled and seemed to realize something.
The gentleman is deep in the southern mountains.
It's like seeing a war in Daqian territory with your own eyes?
This is beyond the defense line of the Twenty-Four Mountains and clearly visible within the territory of Daqian.
Even if you are in the God Refining Realm, you can't do it?
The master's methods are truly unpredictable and increasingly difficult to fathom.
——
At the same time, the battlefield was cleared.
The corpses of two hundred and forty-six iron-winged condors were gathered in one place.
The one Daoji state who died in the battle, as well as several Qi refining state players, have also recovered.
"The beaks, sharp claws, and feathers of these iron-winged condors are all materials for weapon refining."
"The sinews and bones are quite impressive. With the Luo family's craftsmanship, they can be made into bone bows and sinew strings, and then bird feathers can be used as arrows!"
"Remove the flesh and blood and eat them for good."
Lu Wan asked the Qujiang Luo Clan to send two Daoji realms and twelve Qi Refining realms to transport these eagle corpses to the ancestral land of the Qujiang Luo Clan to refine them as soon as possible!
He also sent three Qi Refining Realm people to transport the corpses of those who died in the battle back to Kaiyang Mountain, where they were handed over to Elder Yan Lin and sent back to his sect.
"Mr. Lu, our group has already suffered casualties. Now we are sending two more Taoists and fifteen Qi Refining Realm..."
Yan Zhen whispered: "If we go to the Seventh Mountain again, the number of people will appear to be sparse... If the leader of the Seventh Mountain deliberately makes things difficult and makes an issue based on the number of people in the conscription order, I am afraid it will be a bit troublesome."
"trouble?"
Lu Wan raised his eyebrows and said: "The defense line of the Seventh Mountain was climbed over by 246 iron-winged condors. If our Xuantian Temple hadn't intercepted them and they broke into the Ziyang Territory, I don't know how many towns and villages would have fallen. , I don’t know how many people have been swallowed by these evil birds!”
After finishing speaking, Lu Wan heard a sneer and said: "With his cultivation of tripod casting and more than ten thousand elites, he can't hold the defense line of the Seventh Mountain. Is he worthy of making things difficult for me?"
Yan Zhen stopped talking and wanted to continue talking.
But I heard the head of the Luo family say: "What Master Lu said is absolutely true. Besides... Tu Yi San people are gathering monks from all walks of life. In a few days, they will rush to the Seventh Mountain! In fact, our number is not Less!"
Yan Zhen looked at him deeply.
In the past two days, it can be seen that Qujiang Luo, the new head of the family, is quite attentive. He always goes forward and says a few words in everything, trying to gain some favor in front of Master Lu.
Probably because the Qujiang Luo family, as the first family to re-affiliate under the Xuantian Temple, was not as valued as the Yan family.
Obviously, the name of the guilty clan has not been cleared yet, so the head of the Luo family is all-pervasive and must agree with Master Lu's opinions in every matter to try to gain some goodwill.
"yes."
When Yan Zhen saw this, he did not dare to disobey Lu Wan's wishes and immediately expressed his compliance.
But Lu Wan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Deacon Yan Zhen, I understand your concerns! But take a long-term view of everything. Those who died in battle must be sent back, and once the bones of the Iron-winged Condor are refined, The bows and arrows made into magical weapons will also be of great use to us in defending the Seventh Mountain..."
This crisis originating from the southern mountains is by no means something that can be resolved in a short time.
He expected that he would have to guard the Daqian border in the Seventh Mountain for a long time.
Therefore, once the iron-winged condor's bones are refined into a magical weapon, a bow and arrow, it will be of great use in defending against monsters such as birds.
"Let's deal with it first. We'll stay here tonight and arrive at the Seventh Mountain before noon tomorrow."
After Lu Wan said this, he turned and left.
He did not enter the carriage.
Because when the Iron-Winged Condor was being cleaned up later, everyone's formation was in disarray.
The horse pulling the cart was also caught and killed by the iron-winged condor.
But he walked to the side and turned it over in his hand, only to find two bloody eyes.
Those are the eyes of the Eagle King!
His eyes flickered, and traces of runes could be faintly seen!
"These are not the eyes of an iron-winged condor."
After nightfall, the voice of the Fourth Ancestor finally sounded, but after a pause, he still used a more cautious statement: "To be precise, these may have been the eyes of the iron-winged condor, but they are definitely not the original pair of eyes! "
"You mean, this is man-made?"
Lu Wan frowned and said, "Perhaps the original material was the Eye of the Iron-winged Condor, but it was refined?"
"good!"
The Fourth Ancestor said: "It's that guy's technique again."
That guy!
You can use the master of the Soul-Retaining Palace, the great cauldron, as a test subject to unknowingly refine an "immortal body" and forge an "immortal soul"!
Under the Xiaoyue Lake, they used fantastic ideas to build an altar, used the young Tiangou to carry the blood of the prison-suppressing divine dog, and even used the Xuantian Gatekeeper as nourishment!
The Fourth Ancestor spoke very highly of him, thinking that he was a rare talent that could only be seen in a thousand years!
"No wonder..."
Grandma Third Grandma said with emotion: "With my spiritual perception, I can detect someone snooping, but I can't find any trace of him! It turns out that he is not nearby, and he came to spy on us with the eyes of this Eagle King..."
As the great enemy, the Eagle King has been watching the battlefield, waiting for opportunities to act, which is nothing more than normal.
Even the third ancestor's grandmother failed to discover that there was a mystery hidden behind the Eagle King's "sight".
"It was probably the Master of the Soul-Retaining Hall who died at my hands. After the news came out, he fell into his eyes."
There was a little more solemnity in Lu Wan's eyes.
He knew that this trip was going to the Seventh Mountain.
Based on today's incident with the Iron-Winged Condor, he was wary of the commander of the Seventh Mountain.
But although he doubted the other party, he was confident that with the magic flowers he had accumulated at this moment, even if it really came to the point of breaking up, he would not be afraid of a practitioner who had not yet completed the process of making the tripod!
But now, it involves the "senior" of the Pluto Sect, the thousand-year-old wizard who has been hiding behind the scenes.
Lu Wan still felt a little heavier in his heart.
According to the speculation of the Fourth Ancestor, the opponent is probably at the peak of the God Refining Realm!
"The iron-winged condor comes from the southern mountains."
"He used the eyes of the Eagle King to spy out. He should be deep in the southern mountains."
“As long as you’re not in Daqian territory, you’ll have no worries for the time being!”
Grandma Sanzu calculated the overall situation and said slowly: "The twenty-four mountains themselves are to defend against the threat from the southern mountains!"
She said in a cold tone: "There is really a threat from the peak level of God Refining... The contemporary King of Zhenyang and the Thunder Technique practitioner of the God Refining Level from Chengming Tianshi Mansion will attack you before you do!"
"Then you can't trust your life to outsiders."
Lu Wan thought for a while and said, "I still have to accumulate magic flowers!"
After he said this, he looked in the direction of the Seventh Mountain and said slowly: "Here we go to the Seventh Mountain to establish our authority!"
