Just as Xu Yue was trying to break through, everyone in Yidi Mountain was also launching a large-scale search and rescue in the Fenling Realm area.
In the southern part of the Yuanxinjing area, in a vast desert, more than a thousand figures are marching in groups in the wind and sand.
It was Duan Tiannan and others who had been defeated by Xu Yue in the Condensed Body Realm area.
"Sir, the stronghold you mentioned is right ahead. Do you need to speed up!" In the yellow sand, a Mutian Sect monk pointed forward and shouted through gritted teeth.
Duan Tiannan turned his head, glanced at the scarred team, shook his head and sighed: "No need, we have left many traps in the spirit-splitting realm area that can confuse the enemy. The enemy should not be able to catch up for a while... Tell the disciples, ahead There is a resting place not far away, as well as a wonderful formation, which can help them recover from their injuries and consolidate their cultivation. We will rest there for a while before regrouping and fighting again!"
"As you command!"
The disciple of Mutian Sect responded, looking a little happy and cheering up a little.
Many Mutian Sect disciples in the secret realm have heard about that formation for a long time, and know that it was built by the allies of Tianmoling. , it can be said that there are many benefits!
However, the number of places to enter the formation has been limited before, and more than half of them are occupied by monks from Tianmo Ridge. Those who are far away can only watch the cultivation of those fellow Taoists who have entered the formation by leaps and bounds, but they have gained nothing, and are quite dissatisfied.
Now, is it finally their turn?
"Brothers! Master Duan said that there is a stronghold ahead, where is the mysterious formation, where we can rest! Work harder! We are almost there!"
"Roar!"
Many disciples got excited and recovered somewhat from the shadow of defeat.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that."
At this time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from beside Duan Tiannan, as if it was squeezed out of the nasal cavity, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Unexpectedly, the one who defeated us this time was Xu Yue, who was all-powerful a hundred years ago. Mr. Duan, it is not unfair to lose to him."
Hearing this, Duan Tiannan couldn't help but look at the blood hole on his shoulder, which was injured by Xu Yue not long ago. Then he turned his head, stared at the monk from Tianmoling named Mo Lian, and said in a cold voice: " What do you mean, fellow Taoist? Could it be that our defeat makes you feel happy!"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Mo Lian smiled and immediately handed over his hand, showing great respect for Duan Tiannan.
"snort."
Duan Tiannan's face was gloomy, and he had no good solution to Mo Lian. After all, although he was nominally the commander-in-chief of this operation, Mo Lian was also a monk sent by Tian Mo Ling to serve as his deputy. He had a high position and strength. Strong and tyrannical, his status is no lower than his.
This also led to many disciples of Tianmoling not listening to Duan Tiannan's orders at all, and only obeying the instructions of the sect's Demon Refining.
"Go and call that Si Lin to come see me." Duan Tiannan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"As you command!"
The person beside him responded and immediately headed towards the back of the team. Soon, he brought the dusty Si Lin in front of Duan Tiannan.
At this time, Si Lin no longer looked as high-spirited as before, but instead looked a little depressed and degenerate due to the self-blame for betraying the sect and the wind and sand in the sky.
"Xiaoyou Si, what's wrong? You don't look good?" Duan Tiannan smiled and asked slowly.
"No...it's just that the wind and sand here are too strong, and some...forget it, what are your orders, Master Duan?" Si Lin clasped his fists and asked with a wry smile.
"You don't have to be like this, little friend Si. The Si family is sensible and aware of the general trend. In the future, we will surely prosper together with me! And I have met your grandfather Si Xuan a few times. Not only did he have a good relationship with my brother Duan Weiyun, but also in Cangyun. On the mountain, we have some agreements with my family Duan Daozi, so your behavior is not considered a treason at all, and we have no affiliation with the Si family, but a win-win cooperation."
Duan Tiannan emphasized, then stepped forward and patted Si Lin on the shoulder, looking like a kind elder comforting the frustrated late student, full of affinity.
Si Lin was stunned for a moment, his thoughts couldn't help but his eyes flickering.
Yes, if the direct reason for him surrendering to the enemy is that he saw Xu Yue joining the battlefield and killing everyone.
So, the root of his betrayal of Yidi Mountain is that Si Xuan, the helmsman of Cangyun Mountain, has already reached a tacit understanding with Duan Mutian!
That was after Xu Yue left Cangyun Mountain. Situ Yu of the Yuzong came out of the confinement wearing a bamboo hat and was regarded as a suspect. He had a battle with Duan Mutian. At that time, Xu Yue used the Yuzong mask to fight Lan Ruyan remotely. The farce of the call.
It was after that battle that Duan Mutian took the initiative to approach Si Xuan, and the two parties discussed the matter of the Emperor's Sacrifice, and finally reached an agreement.
Neither Mu Chuxuan nor the Mu family, or even the Bai family, with different surnames, have the ability to control Yidi Mountain!
The only people who can truly be the masters of the mountain are the Si family, and Yidi Mountain under the control of the Si family will be a sect that gets along well with powerful giants such as the Mutian Divine Sect. It will no longer be a sect that is in a strategic location, surrounded by The warring overlords of Nanling!
For this "common ideal" of several families, external sects such as Mutian Shen Sect will contribute their own efforts to assist the Si family to achieve this goal.
The Si family just needs to follow the trend when the time is right.
"That's right! I didn't rebel at all. This can only be called cooperation! Xu Yue is a scourge and must be eliminated! And these fellow disciples are expendable! Everything I do is for the future of Yidi Mountain !I am not wrong!"
Finally, Si Lin's eyes changed, no longer hesitant, but full of determination and decisiveness.
He, after all, deceived himself.
"Master Duan's words made me suddenly enlightened!" Si Lin bowed and followed Duan Tiannan's words. Not only did his expression gradually soften, but his mentality also adjusted.
"now it's right."
Seeing this, a hint of ridicule flashed deep in Duan Tiannan's eyes, and then he turned to look north, which is the vast Yuanxinjing area, and said in a deep voice: "Little friend Si, our goal, I have said it before, That is to clear out as many people as possible in this secret realm and free up enough space to carry capacity, so that in the end, we can 'make way' for the adults here."
Si Lin's heart still twitched when he heard that "miscellaneous people", because he knew that the other party was referring to his fellow disciples of Yidi Mountain who had spent time with him day and night.
But the next moment, the magnificent belief overwhelmed the last bit of conscience in his heart, and he said calmly: "Si Lin understands, what does Master Duan want me to do?"
"Earlier, you said that someone used a special magical instrument to transmit messages and informed all of you disciples of Yidi Mountain. Can you do this?" Duan Tiannan said with a ferocious smile.
"Probably not."
However, Si Xuan shook his head and explained in a deep voice: "That sound transmission was done by Song Li of the Huanhuang Sect. If you want to achieve the same effect, in addition to the imperial weapons of the Huanhuang Sect, you also need Their unique secret formula, unfortunately, even though I, Yidishan, am the Supreme Sect of the Huanhuang Sect, I don’t know what that secret formula is.”
"That's it."
Duan Tiannan frowned, then immediately relaxed and said with a smile: "Then, I will ask you to do one more thing."
"Master Duan, please speak."
Si Lin bowed, feeling a little uneasy.
