Lu Zhong, who had a clear view of this scene, did not act rashly.
Now the enemy is overt and we are in the dark, which is extremely beneficial to him.
The two of them are just pawns. It is estimated that even if they are arrested and interrogated or even soul-searched, they will not get much useful information. It is better to stay with them for the time being, so as to discover their plan in time.
With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhong kept an eye on it.
After checking the cabin and seeing that there were no hidden methods, he started to sit cross-legged and practice.
Taking out the obsidian stone, it has shrunk to the size of a fist.
Continue to absorb the power of the thunder stone and cultivate the armor wood thunder seal in the sea of consciousness.
"The ancient cultivation of magic is good, but it relies too much on spiritual objects." Lu Zhong estimated that once he finished refining the obsidian stone, the speed of Jiamu Lei Seal cultivation would be greatly slowed down until he found a new one. As far as the obsidian stone.
In order for the Thunder Seal to undergo new changes, it is necessary to find other spiritual objects.
Such as the Fantasy Orchid, Condensing Silver Marrow, etc.
Don’t think too much, close your eyes and practice.
For a moment, lightning flashed in the cabin.
…
Departing at sunset, the fleet is expected to arrive at its destination at midnight.
Xuelong Pass is known as the most powerful pass in the Southern Barbarians.
This pass is located at the junction of the two domains. It is an important pass in the Snow Dragon Mountains that stretches for tens of thousands of miles. Beyond it is the vast Yanzhen Domain Plain. If the Changchun Valley monk army starts from here, it can directly attack the Yanzhen Sect Mountain Gate. The strategic position is very important.
It is precisely for this reason that Changchun Valley will strengthen the protection of Guancheng as soon as the war begins.
The Ye brothers and sisters are currently on the flying boat at the head of the fleet.
While observing the surrounding situation, they chatted about one thing or another.
"Brother, can you give some respect to the Ye family? Senior Lu seems to be very dissatisfied with you today!" Ye Mei said helplessly. Her brother is good at everything, but he is too feminine and looks like a woman.
"I understand, aren't they changing?" Ye Yun tried his best to speak sweetly.
He couldn't blame him for this, it was all caused by accidentally eating a spiritual fruit when he was young.
Since then, it has become closer to the female body every day.
"Alas..." Ye Mei sighed and said no more.
Taking out the map and comparing it, the fleet only needs to cross a few more mountain ridges to reach Xuelong Pass.
Suddenly I caught a flash of light coming from the mountain ridge in front.
"No, there's an ambush!" Ye Mei's expression suddenly changed and she shouted.
Ye Yun next to him reacted extremely quickly.
"Bang!" Warning fireworks exploded.
Almost at the same time, a large spiritual light lit up on the mountain crest in front, and rays of light suddenly erupted and shot out, like a rain of light, directly covering the entire fleet.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" the alarm bell rang loudly.
Lu Zhong was already on the deck, frowning as he watched the waves of light coming.
"Senior, we have spotted a coalition battle formation ahead, please give us instructions!" A monk on the side interpreted the information sent by the Ye brothers and sisters and came over to report.
"Ignore them, the maximum output of the magic circle will go straight to Xuelong Pass!" Lu Zhong said calmly.
An attack like this flood would not pose any threat to the fleet, and it would not be able to break through the shield of the flying boat.
He is not a young person who has never seen wind and rain, so naturally he will not get dizzy and be scared away.
Withstanding the barrage all over the sky, the fleet of spaceships passed quickly, and indeed there was no loss at all.
During the process, Lu Zhong had already blessed a certain spell.
Flying star air entrainment technique, star blessing technique, star gathering technique...
The aura of the whole person is rapidly increasing.
"Without the pill-forming monks to intercept, it seems like something really happened at Xuelong Pass." Lu Zhong chanted a mantra with a familiar hand, while mobilizing his true energy to perform the Jiamu Thunder Technique, he was thinking about what happened to Xuelong Pass.
The fleet climbed up and soon crossed a mountain ridge.
A tragic scene appeared in front of everyone.
In the rusty wind, mixed with the overwhelming sounds of fighting, the battle at Xuelong Pass has become fierce.
The formation that could withstand the attacks of True Monarch Nascent Soul for half a year was not activated for unknown reasons. The entire Snow Dragon Pass fell into the flames of war, with monks fighting with their lives on every inch of land.
All kinds of spiritual lights flashed, and the magic weapons were as dense as raindrops.
Explosions and roars were heard endlessly.
In the sky, seven large and small airships were suspended, all flying the flags of the coalition forces, forming a circular formation.
There are monks on the ship casting spells and conducting targeted bombing on Xuelong Pass.
Sensing the arrival of the Changchun Valley fleet, the surfaces of the seven airships quickly lit up with auras, and soon transformed into a long snake formation, charging towards Lu Zhong's fleet that broke into the battlefield.
"Come up to me!" Lu Zhong ordered.
Judging from the current battle situation, the resistance at Xuelong Pass below is still in good order.
It's obviously not time to collapse.
After some consideration, he decided to help.
It's not that Lu Zhong is reckless, it's just that if he doesn't save him now, he will definitely be troubled by Changchun Valley when he goes back. Since there is still a chance to save things, naturally he still has to fight for it.
Anyway, if he loses, he won't be afraid of not being able to escape.
In an instant, the two fleets began to engage in battle.
It is a "backward" gang-hopping war.
Although the war flying boat carries the word "war", it actually only has better protection than ordinary flying boats. Its combat power cannot be compared with that of the Middle-earth Shaking Mountain Boat. With the Middle-earth controlling the flow of Hunyuan Cannon, there is no sharp long-range attack method on the ship.
Through the shield, no one can do anything to anyone.
Therefore, joining the gang and jumping into a gang battle became the main way to determine the outcome.
Just after the battle, Lu Zhong raised his hand and fired a spell towards the opposite side.
"Crack!"
On the opposite deck, a thunder marsh appeared out of thin air.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the monks on the deck suffered heavy casualties.
An embarrassed figure flew out from inside, wearing a Hunyuan bun and dressing up as a Taoist. His body exuded the aura of the early stage of pill formation, and he was looking at Lu Zhong with a surprised look on his face.
Obviously, he didn't expect that he would meet Lei Xiu who mastered the thunder method here.
"It's not good! The Panshan Talisman that I practice is strong in defense but not enough in attack. It is definitely no match for me." The Yanzhen Sect where Yue Xuan belongs is a Taoist sect, and the monks in the sect mostly practice Talisman offensive and defensive techniques.
Said to be a talisman, it is actually a collection of exquisite moves.
The moves are like spells, and they need to be activated by magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and magic weapons. Their power is slightly inferior to sword repair sword moves.
The advantage is that the training is not difficult, unlike swordsmanship, which requires a deep understanding of the way of the sword, and also involves the mysterious and mysterious heart of the sword, the mind of the sword, and the soul of the sword.
Yue Xuan didn't allow Yue Xuan to think too much, as a bright red sword shadow flew towards him.
"Ding!" There was a crisp sound.
Yue Xuan waved the black-yellow heavy sword in his hand, and made a "move like a mountain" mark. A mountain-shaped shadow appeared behind him, blocking the menacing blow and deflecting it away.
At this time, Lu Zhong had already struck like a meteor.
Purple flames were attached to the left and right swords, and they slashed at the enemy quickly, but were blocked by another sword from the opponent. However, the flames still spattered out, and the fire quickly spread on the ship.
Looking around, two fleets were engaged in a fierce battle.
Both sides suffered casualties, and the battle was stalemate with no outcome in sight.
On the ground, Master Qingding saw the reinforcements appeared and the flying boats in the sky no longer attacked the ground. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to fight against the incoming coalition forces.
This time Xuelong Pass was invaded and Guancheng was invaded. As the person in charge, he had an unshirkable responsibility.
Want to be cleared of guilt.
Not only must they repel the coalition forces, but they must also cut off the head of a coalition force that formed a pill.
Only in this way can the merit be offset.
Thinking of this, Master Qingding raised his hand.
He took out a purple thunder talisman. It was a third-level high-grade "Thunder Talisman". Its power was comparable to a strike from the Fake Infant Realm. It had been a trump card that he had treasured for a long time. He had been reluctant to use it when he encountered crises several times before.
Now in order to clear away the guilt, I have no choice but to use it reluctantly.
The opponent's body-protecting Qi was already running low, and it was time for a thunderous strike.
The thunder talisman was activated, and a thunder column suddenly appeared.
In the sky, thunder and lightning also exploded.
Lu Zhong was in trouble. Yue Xuan opposite him was like an iron turtle. The flying sword in his hand didn't appear to attack, he just kept on defending, using one move after another without any attack.
No matter how he attacks, even if a thunderbolt hits him, he will look miserable but not suffer much damage.
"Forget it, just hold off."
Lu Zhong took his eyes back from the ground. Just now a coalition soldier had been killed. He expected that the situation of the battle would be clear soon, so he didn't need to waste more time.
Otherwise, if you force the opponent, you don't know what counterattack will happen.
Immediately, he used Zhihong to entangle Yue Xuan.
As for the Star Mirror, it continuously gathers star power to strengthen and strengthen one's body. At the same time, it also selects the son of destiny and sends the accumulated mirror light to that person.
One, two...eleven.
Seeing Lu Zhong's killing spree, and seeing the Xuelong-affiliated troops retreating below, Yue Xuan finally couldn't stand it any longer.
Crush a piece of jade talisman and explode into fireworks in the air, accompanied by a sharp roar.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
As for the flying boat beneath him.
Most of the monks on the ship were killed by lightning during a confrontation. Now the cabin inside may have been occupied by the monks from Changchun Valley, and the control has long since changed hands.
Yue Xuan stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and decided to give up.
The two fleets soon separated.
The party that lost control of the flying boat was unwilling to evacuate, and the monks from the side that did not capture the flying boat also took the initiative to leave, lest they wait for the shield of the flying boat to open and become trapped on the boat.
On the coalition side, two airships, one large and one small, were taken away, and one small ship was burned on the Changchun Valley side.
It can only be said that each has its own victory or defeat.
"Senior Lu, do you want..." Fang Kuanhong leaned over and asked.
Glancing at him, Lu Zhong smiled secretly in his heart, but did not show it. He said loudly: "Give me the order. No one should pursue me. Let's get down to the ground and start repairing!"
Immediately he looked at the flying boat at his feet.
According to the usual capture rules, this ship should be his trophy.
Seeing that the fire on the ship was not small, he hurriedly started to put out the fire to prevent it from being burned and worthless for repair.
As for the storage bags and other things, as well as the floating wealth that had not been taken away on the boat, Lu Zhong let the people below take it away as a reward for their heroic fighting.
By the way, I also want to win people's hearts.
Not long after, the airship that extinguished the fire landed smoothly on the ground.
Without waiting for Lu Zhong's orders, the monks in the fleet who could still move began to treat the wounded or rescue themselves, or repair the damaged hull under the command of the boatswain.
As for the severely damaged magic circle restrictions, you can only ask the magic circle master to repair them after returning to Changchun Fairy City.
Just as Lu Zhong was thinking about how to repair the flying boat, footsteps came from behind.
When he turned around and took a look, he found that it was Zhenren Qingding.
His hair on the temples was a little disheveled, and he had a strong smell of blood on his body.
Seeing that it was Lu Zhong, Master Qingding's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Lu, thank you Fellow Daoist for coming to help!"
"No, I just happened to come over." Lu Zhong said modestly.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Master Qingding did not mention the matter of Ning Zhongyun, as if he never had this disciple.
Lu Zhong was also happy and relaxed, and started to make excuses with him.
Both sides were polite for a while.
It wasn't until a deacon came over that Master Qingding said goodbye and left.
Looking at the leaving figure, Lu Zhong's eyes flashed with solemnity. This kind of person is difficult to deal with. He can even endure the death of his disciples. If he is placed in the middle, he is either the protagonist or a giant.
"If there is a chance, it is best..."
As soon as the idea came up, he suppressed it.
Think no more.
…
After being stranded at Xuelong Pass for half a month, the fleet set sail again.
After returning to Changchun Fairy City safely, the formation master who had been waiting for a long time immediately boarded the ship and began to repair the formation restrictions on the flying boat. It would take at least three to five months.
The flying boat captured by Lu Zhong was even older, and it was conservatively estimated that it would take half a year to repair.
The repair cost hundreds of thousands, but even so it was still a huge profit. A hundred-foot flying boat was worth a lot of money, let alone a war flying boat, which cost at least half a million spiritual stones.
From Changchun Valley, pills and spirit stones were also sent, worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.
This trip can be said to be a bounty of money.
While he had time, he returned to Lintao Pavilion.
The days passed.
The war is getting fiercer and fiercer, with no sign of stopping.
The two sides fought with all their strength around the spirit stone mine. Each side suffered a large number of casualties. The list of casualties posted on the notice board on Changchun Street every day started at least in three digits.
Most of them are casual cultivators hired, or monks from families or sects vassalized by Changchun Valley. A small number of them are disciples of Changchun Valley.
During this period, Changchun Fairy City was also attacked.
Several large workshops were blown up to the sky, and every workshop owner suffered heavy losses. Among them was the Tobu Alchemy Workshop, which suffered the most. It was said that it was almost razed to the ground.
This is true even inside the city, let alone outside the city.
Raw material production areas were attacked everywhere.
Some successfully resisted, while others were completely burned.
Under this situation, even the Chengde Chamber of Commerce suffered, and the two farms became a wasteland.
In the courtyard, Lu Zhong was drinking tea with Yu Feng'er.
"Husband, do you think this will turn into a war between two realms?" Yu Feng'er had a worried look in his eyes.
Lu Zhong also has this worry. The war between the two regions is no joke.
In the original war between the three sects, tens of thousands of monks died, and the number of mortals was thousands of times more. It can no longer be described as a loss of life. If the Nascent Soul Sect really went into full-scale war, I am afraid that the flames of war would spread throughout the entire Southern Barbarians.
Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to practice with peace of mind.
"I hope things won't be so bad." Lu Zhong thought for a while before replying.
The cause of this war was just a fight for a spiritual stone mine.
Logically speaking, the fight shouldn't have gone to this level.
"I really don't know what those True Lords are thinking."
The will of the true king is the will of the sect.
As long as the Nascent Soul Master who controls the sect wants to continue the fight, the sect's chariot can only keep moving forward, either crushing the opponent to death or the sect falling apart, and there is no possibility of braking on its own.
…
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
The repair progress of the flying boat is slower than expected.
It won't be fixed until tomorrow.
During this period of time, Lu Zhong has completed refining the Yao Lei Stone.
The Jiamu Thunder Technique has improved a lot and can condense the Jiamu Thunder Talisman with great power.
The war is still escalating, and both sides continue to increase investment.
The dead monks have become a number, not only the monks in the Qi Refining Stage, but also the True Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Linking Pill monks will occasionally appear on it, and the list is getting longer day by day.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel lucky that his judgment was correct and he avoided the most intense moment.
But when I think about setting off soon, I still feel a little nervous.
As far as he knew, more and more spacecraft fleets were being attacked, and many of them were shot down and destroyed.
In this case, sailing is really not a good option.
"Ningwufang City..."
This is the next place the fleet will go.
Ningwufang City is located in the southwest of the Changchun Region. It is a Xiaofang City located at the junction of the three regions. It is shrouded in thick fog all year round. Today, a distress letter came from there, saying that it was besieged by the sudden appearance of coalition forces.
The task of the fleet is not only to transport reinforcements, but also to stay and help defend for a year.
"Assist in defense, I hope nothing will happen." Lu Zhongmo thought.
Early the next morning, he arrived at the pier.
The originally smoky flying boat has now been repainted, and its appearance looks brand new. The originally damaged magic circle restrictions have been repaired by the magic circle master and restored to their original appearance.
There are many new faces in the team, which means that many people stayed in Xuelong Pass forever last time.
His eyes passed over Fang Kuanhong and Jie Yu. During this period, the two were "busy as hell" and frequently contacted the spies who had infiltrated into the city from the coalition forces. After he reported the matter to the Changchun Valley authorities, there It was decided to let Lu Zhongjing observe the changes, and a newly sent Changchun Valley Foundation Architect was responsible for monitoring.
This person's name is Fang Qing, and he has a sinister face, as if he is specially used to deal with dirty things.
Lu Zhong has been in contact with Fang Qing several times, and always feels that he is a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat.
"If you have the chance, you might as well accidentally injure him."
Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to stay with him all the time.
After the supplies were replenished, the fleet slowly took off and took off.
Lu Zhong waved his hand and said goodbye to Yu Feng'er. This silly bitch was not easy to worry about when she arrived at Foundation Establishment. A serious practitioner of Foundation Establishment would even cry with tears in her face.
He had no choice but to send a message to comfort her, not to worry, he would be back soon.
…
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of spells exploded in the air.
Two days after setting out, the fleet encountered a group of storm eagles.
This group of flat-haired beasts has a strong sense of territory, and the fleet began to be attacked as soon as it entered the range.
At this moment, under the leadership of the third-level Storm Eagle King, a huge group of eagles launched a fierce attack on the fleet, spitting out wind blades that were as dense as raindrops.
The monk counterattacked, casting spells one after another.
It wasn't until the fleet completely left the Storm Eagle's territory that the eagles' attacks stopped.
What follows is a peaceful voyage.
The fleet is flying on the sea of clouds, and the clear sky makes people feel comfortable.
Except for the monks on duty, everyone else was barbecuing and eating meat on the deck at this time.
Storm hawk meat has extraordinary effects. Eating it can strengthen your qi and blood, and it can also heal some minor ailments. It is not easy to hunt storm hawks in normal times. At this moment, both of them are feasting on it.
Lu Zhong is no exception.
As an alchemy monk, he couldn't go out to influence others, so he stayed in the cabin.
Sprinkle with elixir powder and it tastes crisp but not woody.
Eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink big bowls of wine.
This feels so good!
There was an untimely knock on the door, and Lu Zhong's expression turned cold.
"come in."
Jie Yu pushed the door open and came in, holding a plate of golden and crispy barbecue in his hand. His seemingly normal expression was mixed with a trace of nervousness that was difficult to conceal. A smile naturally appeared on his face and he said with a smile:
"Senior, this is the spiritual meat and spiritual wine that Master Yu has roasted. Please enjoy."
During this fleet trip, in addition to Lu Zhong, who was responsible for guarding the fleet, there was also Yu Xiaoqing, an alchemy-forming monk from Changchun Valley. He was a veteran golden elixir master in the middle stage of alchemy-forming.
In the presence of good meat and wine, Lu Zhong sneered, looked at Xie Yu and said:
"Do you know why you were sent here?"
Hearing this, Xie Yu's heart trembled.
But he still suppressed his uneasiness, lowered his head and said: "Junior doesn't know, senior please make it clear!"
"It means you are no longer useful." Lu Zhong said calmly.
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the poisoned wine and meat.
This woman must have been aware of it in her heart, otherwise she would not have chosen this crude method of poisoning, and she might have wanted to make a last-ditch effort.
On the opposite side, Xie Yu knew that he had been exposed, otherwise Lu Zhong would not have spoken like this.
Just as she was about to say something, Fang Qing had already opened the door and walked in. Without even looking at Jie Yu, he cupped his hands and said, "Senior, the position of the fleet has been reported. Do you want to start closing the net now?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhong nodded.
Hearing this, Fang Qing turned to look at Jie Yu and smiled sadly: "Fang Kuanhong has committed suicide. Do you want to do it yourself or let me help?"
The latter laughed miserably, raised his head and drank a bottle of medicine, and lost his breath after a few breaths.
"Next time, remember, don't let anyone die in front of me!" Lu Zhong frowned. It was common for people to die in battles between two sects, but it didn't mean that he wanted to see dead people.
"It's the junior who didn't think carefully. Please forgive me, the senior."
"Take the body away." Lu Zhong decided in his heart that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely send this person away. This person was not a good bird, and there would be no psychological burden if he killed him.
"Yes." Fang Qing waved his hand, smiled and put the body, poison, wine and meat into the storage bag.
He said goodbye and turned around to go out.
After performing a few cleaning techniques, Lu Zhong looked at the food and wine on the table and lost any appetite.
"That's all, we're about to enter an ambush, so we should make some preparations in advance."
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, he began to condense the Jiamu Lei Talisman.
Using thunder crystals pressed into thin sheets as a carrier, the condensation process of the Jiamu Thunder Talisman is quite simple, but it consumes a lot of mana and spiritual consciousness. Only three of them made Lu Zhong exhausted.
"Three are enough."
Then he meditated and adjusted his breath, quickly recovering his condition.
…
Yanyunling.
The only place you must pass when heading to Ningwufang City.
A large number of coalition monks are lurking here.
The leader is Hua Yi Guan Lian Jian Zhenren, who belongs to the lineage of Taoism. He was once a member of Hua Yi Qizi. He is wearing a blue Taoist robe and a jade crown. He is a Taoist priest who looks like an immortal. Must be middle-aged.
Sitting cross-legged next to him is an alchemy cultivator. He is Yue Cang, a master of the Yanzhen Sect, who practices the Golden Yao Talisman. He is also a sword cultivator. He has a weather-beaten middle-aged face, with messy sideburns and a loose robe, which makes people feel more... Like a bohemian knight-errant.
Both of them are in the early stages of pill formation.
At this moment, one person is making secrets and meditating, while the other person is standing and stroking the sword.
"Yue Cang, who do you think will kill the opponent first?" Master Lianjian looked at Yue Cang. The two have been friends for many years. They often get together to compete in swordsmanship, and sometimes they are competitive with each other.
"Of course it's me." Yue Cang said without giving in.
Wu Wu Er, the two have been fighting for this for a long time, and now is the opportunity.
"Whoever kills his opponent first will be his brother. How about that?"
"It's a deal, haha!" Lian Jian stroked his beard and laughed.
The path to immortality is cold, and it is truly a blessing to have such a well-matched Taoist companion.
While the two were talking, a fleet of ships came at great speed in the distance.
