As he spoke, Master Xuanyun looked around at the four peak masters. Seeing that they were just looking at him and still had no intention of speaking, he sighed secretly and continued:
"Xuan Tian, Xuan Yue, Xuan Huo, Xuan Hai, you and others will immediately lead the elders of the peaks to return to the Four Peaks, wield the Four Swords, awaken the legacy of the Four Peaks' ancestors, and prepare for a decisive battle with Duan Jiuzhou!"
Under the order of Master Xuanyun, all the peak masters, elders, and disciples in the hall stood up at the same time and saluted:
"Follow the instruction of the Master!"
There was a determination in everyone's tone that they were looking forward to death.
"Okay, let's go back and prepare. In half an hour, I will activate the power of the demon-slaying formation with all my strength."
Afterwards, streams of light were seen flying out from Wuji Peak and falling towards the four peaks in the east, west, north and south respectively.
After a while.
Purple Thunder Peak, Thunder Hall.
Xiao Tianxiong rubbed the Purple Thunder Sword in his hand and spoke slowly, but his tone was gentler than ever before:
"I am not a competent master, and I have hardly given you any guidance on your practice since you started, but you are all a group of good kids who strive for excellence.
"Yun Wen, you are the senior brother. From now on, the junior brothers and sisters will rely on you."
Xiang Yunwen, who had always looked like a gentle gentleman, now had red eyes and said with a hint of choking:
"Master, my disciple has now reached the level of Lianxu and is good enough to wield the Purple Thunder Sword. It is better for the disciple to do it..."
Before Xiang Yunwen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Tianxiong's sharp scolding:
"Nonsense! Do you think the Purple Thunder Sword is so easy to control? The five divine swords refined by the Patriarch are not only the inheritance of the Five Peaks Masters, but also powerful exotic treasures. If they hadn't been refined day and night for decades, they wouldn't be able to control them at all. May use its full strength!”
Then Xiao Tianxiong's expression became extremely solemn and he said in a deep voice:
"Xiang Yunwen, the seventeenth generation disciple of Purple Thunder Peak!"
Xiang Yunwen suppressed the emotions in his heart, looked equally solemn, made a big salute, and said:
"The disciple is here!"
Xiao Tianxiong stood up and turned to the ranking of ancestors above the main hall, and said respectfully:
"Xuan Tian, the 16th generation master of Purple Thunder Peak, hereby warns the ancestors of all generations. Now that the Demon Sect is attacking, Xuantian will fight to the death against the Holy Master of the Demon Sect's Holy Soul Mountain. After Xuantian's death, the 17th generation master of Purple Thunder Peak will Disciple Yun Wen succeeds as the peak master and takes charge of Purple Thunder Peak. Heaven and earth serve as a lesson, and generations of ancestors bear witness!
"Yun Wen, salute!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yunwen knelt down heavily behind Xiao Tianxiong and said solemnly:
"Xiang Yunwen, the seventeenth generation disciple of Purple Thunder Peak, swears here that in this life he will carry forward the spirit of my Yuxu Sect, inherit the will of my Purple Thunder Peak, subdue demons and demons, and stick to the right path. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth! "
As Xiang Yunwen's oath fell, a thunder exploded in the void, seemingly in response.
At this time Xiao Tianxiong said again:
"Okay, Yun Wen stays, and the others can go out first."
Knowing that Xiao Tianxiong was going to hand over some secrets that only previous peak masters could know to Xiang Yunwen, all the disciples exited the hall in silence.
As soon as Yun Ying stepped out of the hall, Gu Qinglin's voice sounded in his ears:
"Ying'er, come to me."
Yun Ying knew that Gu Qinglin had returned to the hut in the back mountain as soon as he returned to the peak, so he walked towards the back mountain without much delay.
A moment later, in the hut.
The ancient green forest stands opposite to the cloud shadow.
Seeing the sadness on Yun Ying's face, even though Gu Qinglin's cultivation had already reached the realm of transformation and his mind was firm, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
He took a gentle breath and said:
"Ying'er has grown up!"
Hearing Gu Qinglin's incomprehensible words, Yun Ying finally felt a sore nose. The tears he had held back for a long time burst out and he cried:
"Master, Ying'er can't bear to leave you!"
Seeing Yun Ying burst into tears, Gu Qinglin felt inexplicably calm in his heart.
When his master and brothers died in battle one after another, he fell into deep self-blame and grief. Since then, he has been living alone in the back mountains to guard the graves of his master and brothers.
I thought he would continue like this until the end of his life and leave this world quietly.
But he didn't want to impulsively accept Yun Ying as his disciple. Yun Ying was a little lark who would always chirp and tell everything he encountered in front of him.
Originally, he thought he would regret accepting such a disciple who disturbed his ordinary life, but unknowingly, his long-dead heart came back to life amidst Yun Ying's joyful words of "Master". .
After getting along for many years, to Gu Qinglin, Yun Ying was more like his daughter than his disciple.
Although he is about to die now, there is still such a little girl in the world who holds him in his heart.
There are no regrets in this life!
"Ying'er, master can no longer protect you, but don't be afraid. Both your senior brothers and your brother Xiaotian love you very much. If you are bullied in any way, just tell them and they will To help you vent your anger.
"And that kid Yun Hao who always comes to you. He's a nice guy, but he's too soft-tempered. Don't bully him all the time. If one day you bully him badly and run away, you can't There is no place to cry."
With Yun Ying's temperament, if he heard his master teasing him like this in the past, he would have stamped his feet and ran away, but now Yun Ying's heart is filled with reluctance for Gu Qinglin and he doesn't care what he said.
She just wanted to stay with her master a little longer.
"Master, can't you just go?"
Hearing Yun Ying's words, Gu Qinglin's expression became a little more serious. He looked into Yun Ying's eyes and said slowly:
"Ying'er, remember, we are the righteous path, members of the Yuxu Sect, and the guardians of the people in the world. If we are greedy for life and afraid of death and shrink from the devil, then what awaits the people of the world will be endless pain!
"What is the purpose of our practice? Immortality? Not entirely. Fighting for the common people in the world is also the meaning of our practice!"
Listening to Gu Qinglin's rare stern words, Yun Ying shed tears and nodded:
"Yes, my disciple has remembered it!"
…
At the same time, similar scenes were also staged in the other four peaks. Some of the peak leaders and elders had expressions of determination as if they were ready to die, while others had expressions of indifference as they gave up everything, but no one showed any fear of their inevitable death.
The disciples were sad and reluctant, but in the face of the disaster, everyone suppressed the sadness in their hearts for a short period of time and worked hard to adjust their state, just to play a greater role in the next war. .
Half an hour passed very quickly, and in the thick atmosphere of sadness, the time agreed by Master Xuanyun had arrived.
Since a quarter of an hour ago, the light pillars on the five main peaks of Yuxu Sect began to become brighter, and in the end they even seemed to be solidifying.
Dozens of figures of different heights and sizes, fat and thin, rose from the five peaks and hung around the light pillars. The peak masters and elders of each peak were among them.
At this time, a loud shout was heard from Wuji Peak:
"Junior brothers and sisters, come with me to slay demons!"
That was the voice of Master Xuanyun. Even though it was dozens of miles apart, one could still hear the firmness and righteousness contained in it.
"Here!"
The neat response resounded throughout the world.
Then, it was like receiving a silent order.
The people hanging around the light pillar rushed towards the light pillar together, like moths rushing to the flame!
In just the blink of an eye, there was no longer any figure outside the beam of light.
Seeing the elders of their sect disappear into the beam of light one by one, sadness spreads in the hearts of every Yuxu sect disciple.
"Disciple, I would like to send you my master! I would like to send you my uncle and uncle!"
The voice of Li Yungui, the chief disciple, spread far away.
"Disciple, I would like to send you my master! I would like to send you my uncle and uncle!"
"Disciple, I would like to send you my master! I would like to send you my uncle and uncle!"
"Disciple, I would like to send you my master! I would like to send you my uncle and uncle!"
After the disciples from each peak chanted, they recited the Sutra of Saving People in unison:
“The way of humanity is vague, the way of immortality is vast, and the way of ghosts is joyful.
"Be the door of life.
"Life is precious in the immortal way, and death is precious in the ghost way.
“The path of immortality always brings good fortune, and the path of ghost always brings misfortune.
“The sky is clear and refreshing, and the tragic song is clear in the sky.
“I only wish that immortality can be achieved, and I don’t want humanity to be poor.
"There are thousands of ghosts in Quanqu Mansion in the northern capital.
"But if you want to suppress people's calculations, they will cut off people's lives.
"A Ren sang the Dongzhang to capture Beiluo Feng, chanted the Zoroastrian demon spirit, and cut off the six ghosts.
“The weather is in chaos.
"My fortune is prosperous!"
Until the last sentence was read, there were only echoes in the mountains.
At this moment, the five light pillars shined brightly at the same moment, shaking one after another, as if they were trying to break away from the mountain peaks where they were located.
As the light beam swayed, the five mountain peaks began to sway, and became more and more violent, as if the mountains were about to collapse.
The major disciples of each peak ordered almost at the same time:
"Junior brothers (sisters) form formations and stabilize the mountain!"
"Here!"
The disciples responded and turned into streams of light that fell to various parts of the mountain, wrapping up the swaying mountain like a big net.
Looking at the light beam at the top of the mountain, just a moment after the disciples set up the formation, it actually left the top of the mountain and then quickly shrank.
In the end, it turned into five swords of purple, white, black, red, and yellow. They were the five divine swords passed down from generation to generation by the Five Meridians of Yuxu!
The five swords slashed outward at the same time, easily wiping out the small blood-red light pillars outside the mountain range.
You must know that those blood-colored light pillars are ancient formations set up by Duan Jiuzhou's orders from the Saint Soul Mountain disciples using the art of blood sacrifice. Before that, they had been suppressing the Yuxu Sect's mountain-protecting formation. They could only enter but not leave. Before, Yuxu Sect had Dozens of experts worked together but failed to break out.
The people of Holy Soul Mountain who were besieged at the foot of Tianshan Mountain had not made any move. They were waiting for the mountain-protecting formation to be destroyed by their ancient formation. After the formation was broken, they rushed up the mountain to massacre the entire Yuxu Sect.
Duan Jiuzhou was too confident and did not expect that Yuxu Sect would have such a back-up plan. By the time he reacted, the blood-light formation had already been broken open.
"What a great Yuxumen!"
Outside a large tent at the foot of the mountain, Duan Jiuzhou roared and flew up. The sound spread throughout the Xuyun Mountains:
"Originally, I wanted to wait for the hard work, but since you are still struggling, I will send you on your way!"
However, although the beam of light disappeared, the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation did not dissipate, blocking the way forward for Jiuzhou.
"Do you really think that I can't break through this formation?"
As he spoke, Duan Jiuzhou's aura surged, like an ancient evil demon. The halberd in his hand gathered all his magic power and struck hard at the invisible barrier in front of him.
Pong!
A crisp sound like broken porcelain came from under the halberd blade.
Then, as if a chain reaction was triggered, the huge formation covering the entire Yuxu Sect began to shatter. Even if disciples from all peaks flew into the sky to repair the formation, it was of no avail.
At this moment, a long sword that was neither gold nor stone suddenly rose into the sky from Wuji Peak. The other five divine swords seemed to have been summoned, and they all flew towards the last long sword that appeared, and merged into it in the blink of an eye. .
After absorbing the five divine swords, the long sword that was neither gold nor stone suddenly disappeared on the spot, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of Duan Jiuzhou.
The long sword has neither precious light nor sword energy. Apart from the special material, it looks ordinary.
Even though it was such a long sword with nothing magical about it, Duan Jiuzhou, which had already merged with the origin of ancient Shura, felt a fatal threat!
