It was July, and the sun hung like a fireball in the blue sky. The clouds seemed to be burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace.
The sun shines directly between a group of trees, but in the originally green dense forest, there are a large number of uninvited guests wearing black cloaks, with black jackdaw patterns clearly tattooed on the cloaks.
"Lord Saint, the stronghold in the capital was destroyed by the Great Xia court. Where should we go now?"
The loyal Raven cultist knelt down in front of a silver-haired woman.
It is the Raven Saint, Yin Nanyu.
The skin under her cloak was tender and white, and her eyes were beautiful, showing a bit of indifference, and she said lightly:
"Going south, we still have a chance."
"yes!"
After thinking about it, Yin Nanyu looked at the hot sun, narrowed his eyes, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
In fact, she knew that things would not be easy for Raven even back in the south.
Now the Raven Sect has been banned by the Great Xia Dynasty, and the officials in various states and counties are conducting strict investigations.
After the new emperor ascended the throne and the death of King Qin, Daxia had stabilized, and the whole court was devoted to destroying the raven. This time, the capital was turned upside down, and no trace of his whereabouts was missed.
Groups of ministers were beheaded, and officials with suspicious behavior were all imprisoned, and most of their informants were removed.
If they had not known the news of blocking the city gate in advance, they might not even be able to get out of the capital.
After all, the Raven Cult was still unable to face the Great Xia Dynasty head-on. It could not withstand the operation of the dynasty machine and was defeated.
But the overwhelming pride in her heart has not been extinguished.
As long as he hides temporarily and continues to wait for opportunities, the Raven may not be unable to gain momentum again.
Nowadays, the Raven Sect's strength has increased greatly compared to before. In time, it will definitely become a giant.
Suddenly, there was a vibration on the ground of the dense forest.
The sound of "rumbling" came from a distance.
The subordinate lay on the ground. After listening for a while, he said with a panicked expression:
"Lord Saint, it's Daxia's dragon-blooded cavalry and cold-faced halberd warriors who are catching up!"
"We're surrounded!"
Yin Nanyu frowned and said suspiciously: "How is it possible? This time out of the city is extremely hidden, and there is secret information from the eyes and ears. How can they chase after him?"
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility: "Could it be fake news?"
The raven's eyes and ears revealed the news that there was a path that was absolutely safe and would not be blocked by the city.
Now that I think about it, this is probably a fake news released by Daxia in order to catch them all in this place.
"Holy Lady, what should we do now?" Several high-ranking church members quickly asked for instructions.
"Prepare for war!"
Yin Nanyu announced calmly.
After receiving the order, hundreds of Raven's followers immediately dispersed and formed a circle.
Yin Nanyu's eyes were as cold as frost, and the true energy all over his body emanated, showing a silvery light.
Hundreds of Raven Cult members knelt down together, chanting something.
Circles of large formations rose from the ground, and the pale golden light was extremely bright, forming a thick wall.
"Finally found them."
Outside the dense forest, a tall and mighty black-armored general looked at the rising light in the forest, tightened the reins, and said with great joy.
"Don't let anyone go."
There was a young man in Taoist robes suspended in mid-air, speaking calmly.
It turned out to be Xu Muchen, the gatekeeper of the Wuji Immortal Sect.
"I know! I have to thank senior for this trip."
The leading general nodded, with an extremely respectful expression on his face.
This time, the gatekeeper of the Wuji Immortal Sect actually took action in person, which was something that had never been seen before.
You must know that the immortal sect generally does not interfere with the secular world, unless it encounters a particularly serious matter.
This shows how evil and hateful this raven is, and must be eradicated completely!
"Close the encirclement, gather forces, and prevent a breakout!"
The black-armored general said loudly and immediately issued the military order.
The surrounding soldiers are all wearing dark red elite armor. They have a large war horse with blood-red hair. This is Daxia's dragon-blood cavalry, which belongs to the emperor's army. These horses are raised by feeding on the blood of spiritual beasts. , all mutated.
In the front row were large groups of soldiers with iron ghost faces and halberds in their hands. They were all armed to the teeth and had an evil aura about them.
When the surrounding armies slowly approached.
The sky suddenly lit up with a faint blue beam of light.
They split and struck, bursting out a large number of beam bombs, bombarding the dragon-blooded cavalry and cold-faced halberdiers.
"Bang!"
The light bomb exploded on the ground, burning with blazing flames. Together with the nearby trees, the entire dense forest was suddenly engulfed in fire.
The soldiers who were bombarded were directly blown into blood mist, and piles of soldiers fell. For a time, the losses were very heavy.
"Blow the horn! Charge!"
The black-armored general naturally did not want the losses to continue to increase, so he immediately ordered the horns of the charge to be blown.
The dragon-blood cavalry was brave and unafraid of death, charging straight forward, holding a spear and pulling the horse forward.
Although the light bombs were powerful, they were always limited in quantity. The iron cavalry took advantage of the gap in time and rushed into the place where the raven was stationed.
There was a solid wall of light in front of him blocking the way forward.
Xu Muchen, who was following closely behind, waved his hand gently to scatter a flying light bullet. He looked at the obstruction in front of him and said calmly:
"Little tricks."
Green light gathered in the palm of his hand, and a slender spiritual sword suddenly emerged.
He raised his hand and swung, and a 100-meter-long green sword energy shot out. With a "crash", the shield did not last long before it was shattered, like paper.
Without the protection of the light wall, the cavalry's spears emitted a cold light.
With just one encounter, he killed dozens of Raven cultists, cut off their heads, and hung them in front of their horses.
Without Yin Nanyu's guidance, most of the believers would actually be ordinary people, and only a small number of high-level believers who were monks could still resist.
"Fire the arrow!"
The black-armored general raised his arms and shouted, and the dragon-blood cavalry rushed back and forth around him. Everyone held arm crossbows and fired crossbow arrows at the remnants of the monks.
Thousands of arrows rained down like a tidal wave, and the Raven monks and followers were not strong enough to resist. They were all pierced by sharp swords and died suddenly on the spot.
Xu Muchen ignored the fight between the believers and the disciples, but came through the air with his sword in hand and stood in front of the Raven Saint.
Even when facing the golden elixir monk, Yin Nanyu's fair face was very calm and she asked seriously:
"Wuji Immortal Sect, if you interfere in the secular world, aren't you afraid of heavenly punishment from the immortals?"
Xu Muchen's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "In ancient times, all evil spirits, including the Crow Immortal, were the mortal enemies of the Immortal Sect. As their remnants, you naturally deserve to die."
"History written by the victors doesn't matter." Yin Nanyu said in a cold voice.
Xu Muchen didn't intend to talk nonsense with this witch, he would just kill her with one sword.
In the seven years he has been on guard, he has never been so worried these days.
The sword energy sputtered like light, and Jin Dan slashed down with all his strength.
Yin Nanyu didn't know when there was a statue of Crow Immortal in his hand, which glowed faintly.
Just enough to withstand the blow.
"What a Crow Immortal. How can your cult touch the incense of the Immortal Sect?"
Xu Muchen narrowed his eyes and said something coldly, then his long-sleeved Taoist robes fluttered in the wind, and a bright golden elixir appeared on his chest.
Yin Nanyu cut her wrist with a knife, blood dripping, and then prayed devoutly with both hands:
"Lord Crow Immortal, please punish these foolish heretics!"
After saying this, the silver-blue light on her body suddenly surged, and the blood dripped onto the statue of the Crow Immortal she was carrying, causing the statue to float.
An invisible force spread out.
I saw the corpses of the fallen believers on the ground getting up one by one, dense black spells spreading all over their bodies.
Even though he was missing his head, he still stood up fiercely, which looked very impressive.
These corpses rushed toward the cavalry. They jumped more than ten meters high. With a big hand, they took out the heart of a cavalryman.
At the same time, the aura on Yin Nanyu's body was also rising rapidly.
She is absorbing the power of faith stored in the statue, turning it into a steady stream of cultivation, and a wisp of pressure is spreading.
When Xu Muchen saw this, he secretly thought something was wrong. He could already feel a hint of the golden elixir from the other party.
So he raised his sword and came to kill again.
In a hurry, Yin Nanyu raised her jade hand, barely able to block the sword, but her face turned pale.
Every time you mobilize the power of faith, your own blood and energy will be consumed.
The opponent's strength was too strong, causing her energy to drop quickly.
"Hmph, the power of the golden elixir cannot be compared to those of you and other fake Yue people."
Xu Muchen mobilized the golden elixir, and the bright golden light spread all over the lines on the sword's edge. He was like a god, extremely powerful.
This sword contains the power of golden elixir and can cut through mountains and rivers.
Yin Nanyu held the statue of Crow Immortal and struggled to support it.
But soon, cracks appeared on the ceramic statue of Crow Immortal.
When her vitality was exhausted, Yin Nanyu's delicate body flew backwards, and the cloak on her head was lifted up, revealing a beautiful face and a head of silver-white hair, floating in the wind.
When they were about to land, they were caught by a high-level cultist, but the recoil was so strong that the two of them still fell to the ground.
"puff."
After this sword strike, Yin Nanyu spat out a mouthful of blood. The light on his body had dimmed to the extreme, almost to the point where it was almost exhausted.
Her face turned pale and she fell to the ground. The few remaining believers behind her gathered around and helped him up.
"My Lady Saint, you will go first, and we will give you the rear seat."
"Great Crow Immortal! Give us power!"
They sacrificed all their lives and turned them into cultivation, which greatly increased their strength to resist Xu Muchen's attack.
Xu Muchen frowned as he looked at the few believers in front of him whose strength suddenly exploded.
One by one, they exploded into a sea of qi and rushed towards Xu Muchen.
He came here almost desperately, just to buy time.
The power of the Qi Sea explosion was so terrifying that everyone had to weigh it carefully. Xu Muchen had no choice but to step on his sword to avoid it temporarily.
At this time, the surrounding dragon blood cavalry were holding spears and pointing at Yin Nanyu's snow-white jade neck.
Yin Nanyu had a cold face, gently flicked his sleeves, and shot out a burst of cold energy, knocking several cavalrymen away.
She looked at the several loyal high-level believers who were dying one after another. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and no longer hesitated. There was a black raven totem on her white collarbone, which flickered faintly.
Wrapped in a ball of black light, Yin Nanyu turned into a meteor and shot straight into the sky.
