call out! As Qi Yuan said, although the Qi family in Nanling was destroyed, the Qi family's secret skills were no weaker than anyone else's. Xu Yue only felt that he was traveling rapidly in the void, and strange images flashed past him one after another, bizarre and mysterious.
This situation only lasted for a few breaths. When the light in front of them gradually became brighter, several people's bodies lightened up and their destination was reached.
Buzz... In front of me, there is an endless grassland. On the ground, a six-pointed star about ten square meters is gradually dimming. This is the mark left by Qi Yuan when he passed here. Now that the energy is exhausted, it will disappear.
At the other end of the grassland, very far away, a huge city was built on both sides of the fairy mountains that towered into the clouds. It was majestic and majestic.
Linshan City.
"I'm finally back..." Xu Yue sighed with emotion. In fact, if you calculate carefully, it hasn't been that long since they first stood here.
Just a few people at that time. Xu Yue, who was extremely confident, firmly believed that he could rescue Mu Chuxuan. When Qin Yun saw the world for the first time, he would be excited for a long time when he occasionally met a monk from another sect.
The conscientious Sha Shenfeng used his experienced life experience to take care of the daily lives of several people along the way. The hot-tempered Black Fire Horse curiously observed the entire new world with its red eyes.
There was also Liu Ang, who was making suggestions, holding a map, walking at the front, sometimes thinking slightly, sometimes frowning... At that time, during the long and pleasant journey, there was laughter and laughter.
At that time, several people thought that the biggest enemy was the Mutian Sect, and they did not know that there was already an undercurrent surging in Linshan City, and a huge conspiracy had enveloped the entire Yidi Mountain.
At that time, no one thought that in the future, they would experience so many life and death separations, fights with people, fights with demons, and fights with heaven.
Looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
"Alas." Xu Yue sighed, looked away from the majestic Linshan City, and turned around to leave. If all this had not happened, he would have been happy to go to the city, go to the brightly lit Yunmeng Tower, watch the long sleeves and dances, have a few drinks, and also go to the bustling night market, walking from south to north, Laid back and at ease.
But, it's impossible. Xu Yue looked up at the north. Although Tianmo Ridge had not yet come here, the whole world was in a strange unease at this time, like the calm before the storm, which was depressing and heart-stopping.
"Let's go! Time is running out and we can't waste any more! I'll stand at the front, with Yun'er in the middle, and the horse will carry Lao Sha and walk at the end!"
"Yes!" Several people put away their sad expressions and immediately stood up as instructed. Then, Xu Yue took a deep breath, made a gesture, and rushed forward with the powerful physique of a monk in the Condensation Realm.
"The [Gulingliu Cloud Formation] is being triggered, and the host will mobilize the spiritual power of all the monks in an area." Bang!
Like a locomotive, Xu Yue pulled the weaker ones and started running wildly. Sonic booms were everywhere, even alerting the monks patrolling the wall of Linshan City in the distance.
call! Listening to the whistling wind in their ears, Qin Yun and Sha Chenfeng's minds trembled wildly at this terrifying speed. They felt that their souls were being pulled out and their bodies were slowed down.
Only the Black Fire Horse, which had undergone transformation and was already good at running, was now flying with all four hooves, barely able to keep up with Xu Yue's footsteps.
Phew... The three people and one horse almost turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the lawn in the blink of an eye. After a while, they rushed into the extremely cold canyon where clouds and mist deposited like waterfalls - Yunpu Gorge.
At the beginning, several people also came here from the other end of the canyon. Chih... But this time, because the speed of the few people was too fast, the fire and high temperature that rubbed against the air quickly evaporated at the bottom of the valley, and combined with the cold air, making the place thick with smoke and almost invisible.
But for monks with the ability to sense, these are minor problems. Xu Yue is still like a loach, traveling very fast at the bottom of the canyon.
"Uncle Master." While running wildly, Sha Chenfeng calmed down his mind and asked: "Soon, the magic mountain will come here. Don't we need to inform the people in Linshan City and let them escape quickly? ?”
"No need." Hearing this, Xu Yue's speed did not slow down, and he shook his head and said solemnly: "Although the Spirit Sword Sect is small, the area it governs is quite vast. If the Tianmo Ridge hits it, it should not be able to affect this place... Besides, Lingjian Sect is located in a basin and is surrounded by mountains. Even if the shock wave spreads, it will still be blocked by this terrain!"
"That's it." Sha Chenfeng nodded as if he understood. After thinking about it, he asked with some worry: "But uncle, can we rush back in time? I remember that at that time, we started from the sect and walked here. , We have used it for a full month! That magic mountain is not going to be there in a quarter of an hour..." Sha Chenfeng opened his mouth and did not continue.
"It's okay, I have a countermeasure." Xu Yue's voice was low. He had already settled everything. As long as he could come back, nothing would be a problem!
boom! At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the very far horizon. Then, the entire sky began to shake and roar violently, just like a group of fighter jets flying high in the sky in modern society. It was extremely shocking and terrifying!
"Coming!" Xu Yue roared, couldn't help but turn around, and immediately saw a small black dot on the skyline from behind him in the sky of Yunpu Gorge, his pupils shrank, and he began to move desperately The spiritual power mobilizes the muscles of the whole body, the blood rushes, the heart beats wildly, the Dantian rotates, and the whole body is accelerated!
boom! After a few breaths, the spindle-shaped formation composed of [Gulingliu Cloud Formation] broke out of the sea of clouds in the canyon and came to a place with a wide view. In front of it were continuous hills, which seemed slightly deserted and remote.
"Let's go!" However, Xu Yue did not dare to stay, because when he got here, he did not enter the realm of Lingjian Sect. He had to climb over the few low mountains in sight before he could return to the sect!
boom! Traveling through the mountains and forests, Xu Yue climbed almost one hill at a time. The roar of the world became more and more terrifying. The small black dot on the skyline enlarged rapidly, and the wind roared. This was a life-and-death battle. Xu Yue, in Race against destruction!
And finally, when everyone finally crossed a mountain stream, the sky suddenly darkened, the sunlight was completely blocked by something, and accompanied by a deafening loud noise, it was like the end of the world.
boom! Xu Yue and others had no time to escape, and were directly pressed to the ground by the strong wind from top to bottom, unable to move. It was not until the magic mountain above disappeared that they stood up scarred and embarrassed.
"Uncle Master! What to do! The Demon Mountain has already chased us!" Sha Chenfeng looked at Tianmo Ridge heading straight towards the Spirit Sword Sect with a look of horror on his face.
"Don't panic!" Xu Yue, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He took out the map and took a quick glance, and found that this place had entered the territory of the Lingjian Sect. He immediately fumbled around in his arms and took out a token.
It was a long time ago that Si Xian, the arrogant and domineering alternate emperor, came to the Spirit Sword Sect to bully everyone, and forced Cheng Moyuan to hand over the Spirit Sword Sect master's token that he had taken back!
Only it can exert its magical effect within the realm of the Spirit Sword Sect and communicate with the Spirit Mountain at an extremely long distance!
"Hey! Can you hear me! Old Turtle! Lord Turtle! King Ba! Reply quickly!" Xu Yue took out the token and roared inside.
"Fuck! Brother Xu!" Immediately afterwards, excited roars came from the other side, and the long-awaited voice of the old turtle finally appeared in front of everyone again.
Then the other party's next words made Xu Yue so angry that he almost crushed the sect leader's token to pieces.
"Brother Xu! Your old man is still alive! Damn it, you are really a disaster for thousands of years! I have organized your funeral ceremony three times in the Linggui Sect. I didn't expect you to come back! What a hard life!"
"Go away! Wang Ba! What the hell are you..." Xu Yue was furious. He wanted to have a good fight with the other party, but when he thought of the critical situation, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Well, now is not the time to say At this time! I am in the northern part of Lingjian Sect, pick me up quickly, we will leave immediately!"
"Let's go?" Wang Ba over there was stunned and said happily: "Did you rescue girl Xuan?"
"Uh... that's not true, but I brought you a big gift! Stop talking nonsense and take me back quickly! We are in the northern area, outside the Yunpu Gorge! Hurry! Otherwise it will be too late!" Xu Yue spoke urgently, and his voice became serious, which made the Wang Ba over there become serious. He immediately stopped being mean and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Then you make the seal, and I will sense it!"
"No problem!" Xu Yue nodded immediately, and according to the originally discussed plan, he made virtual drawings in the air with his hands. A complex formation was quickly formed, and a fairy mountain could be faintly seen through the formation.
"Okay!" After a few breaths, Xu Yue shouted, while looking anxiously towards the horizon. Tianmo Ridge has disappeared from sight without a trace.
"Two minutes! I'll bring you over!" Wang Ba's voice came from the token. Immediately afterwards, the formation Xu Yue drew in the air was moved by something, and began to change from virtual to real, and gradually from Each simple line turned into a real formation!
"Uncle Master, can we go home through this thing..." Qin Yun looked tired, looking at the magically transformed formation pattern, but couldn't arouse the slightest interest, and asked feebly.
"That's right, your Lord Turtle is not good at other things, but your formation method is extremely perverted. It can be called the best in the immortal realm. Even the master of Tianzhou's Tianzhen Sect lost several battles with it... With this thing , we will be able to go home soon, your master's elders are waiting for you." Xu Yue nodded gently, trying to comfort her as much as possible.
"Well..." However, Qin Yun's answer was very simple. Her hopeless state made Xu Yue even more heartbroken and self-blame.
Buzz... Ahead, as time went by, the formation patterns began to swim, and the lines combined together to gradually form the shape of a turtle, leaving Xu Yue quite speechless.
"Huh?" It was also at this time that he suddenly felt that the [Gulingliu Cloud Formation] had become a little disordered, and the spiritual energy was not flowing smoothly. It was obviously someone in the formation whose breath was disordered.
Xu Yue originally thought it was the heartbroken Qin Yun, but when he followed the traces, he found that it was Sha Chenfeng holding the Xuanhuo horse. At this time, he was trying his best to look in a certain direction, his eyes were extremely worried, and he was engrossed in it without paying any attention. Xu Yue was looking at him.
Seeing this, Xu Yue followed his gaze and understood everything immediately. What the old man is looking at is his village.
Sha Chenfeng did not enter the sect based on his own qualifications or abilities, but was recommended into the sect based on his village's annual quota.
This is the benefit that Lingjian Sect provides to the mortals under its rule, and it is also a means to maintain competitiveness in the mortal world. Sha Chenfeng was a respected old man in their village. When he was old and frail, and at the end of his life, the villagers sent him to the Lingjian Sect to practice Taoism in order to extend his life.
Now, looking at his hometown again, there is no doubt that the old man is homesick.
"Old Sha." Xu Yue shouted softly, but Sha Chenfeng didn't seem to hear it. His muddy old eyes continued to look at the village in the distance with memories and nostalgia in his eyes.
"Lao Sha!" It wasn't until Xu Yue shouted a little louder that he suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly turned around and worshiped: "Uncle Master!"
"Want to go back?" Xu Yue thought for a while and said with a smile.
"I... it's okay, but Uncle Master, are we going to leave the South Ridge and go to the sea in the north soon?" Sha Chenfeng asked in a low voice with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"Yes." Xu Yue nodded.
"Then...when the Magic Mountain falls, will this place be affected?" Sha Chenfeng gritted his teeth, his voice trembling.
"I don't know, maybe not, maybe." Xu Yue answered truthfully. Hearing this, Sha Chenfeng's face turned visibly pale in a few breaths, and he stared blankly at the few smokes from the distant kitchen, as if he could see the farmland with heavy traffic being completely destroyed, and the small village where chickens and dogs could hear each other, completely destroyed. In the sea of fire.
"No..." Sha Chenfeng opened his mouth weakly and uttered an inaudible syllable. Qin Yun looked slowly, then lowered his head. Xuanhuoma snorted, not knowing how to comfort him.
The turtle-shaped formation is almost completed.
"Go." At this last moment, Xu Yue smiled softly, walked forward, patted Sha Shenfeng on the shoulder, and encouraged: "This is not far from Yunpu Gorge. Go back quickly and inform the villagers. Escape to Linshan City, go if you want! Don’t hesitate!"
"This, this... can't do it!" Sha Chenfeng woke up a little and immediately shook his head and said: "The sect is in trouble, I can't leave at this time!" Xu Yue frowned and said in a deep voice: "Not to mention you now The Huizong Gang can't help. You and I, as cultivators, pay attention to doing whatever you want and not being trapped by anything. If you end up with inner demons because of this today, it will be difficult to get rid of it in the future! There is no need for this!" After the words fell, Sha Shenfeng's expression changed. He was struggling so much that he really wanted to go back to the village, tell them that the danger was approaching, and escape quickly, but he couldn't let go of the Lingjian Sect who was in danger, and he didn't know how to choose.
"No...Uncle Master." In the end, Sha Chenfeng lowered his head, closed his eyes in despair, and said slowly: "Article 3 of the Spirit Sword Sect Rules, no disciple is allowed to have any In times of trouble, if you escape for any reason, the violator will be punished by the patriarchal law... I am not afraid of being punished by the punishment elders, but the sect is kind to me. Regardless of whether I can help or not, going back is an obligation. Not going back is a betrayal. Zong!" The old man raised his head and looked directly at Xu Yue, with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he made a heart-wrenching decision.
"You! Alas, it's really..." Xu Yue paused for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "But you are worthy of being taught by me, Xu Yue." Boom!
At the same time, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the sect leader's token, and Wang Ba's soul-shattering voice came: "Xu Yue! Is this the gift you brought me!?" Hearing the roar, Xu Yue knew that he could not stay any longer. , took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice to the lost Sha Chenfeng: "Common servant disciple Sha Chenfeng obeys the order!"
"Brother, disciple is here!" Lao Sha stiffened and subconsciously stood at attention.
"Xu Yue, the master of the Spirit Sword Sect, today issued an order to expel you from the sect and clear out the family tree... There is no need to return the skills you have learned, and there is no need to abort the skills you have practiced. From now on, you no longer have to abide by the Spirit Sword Sect. According to the sect’s rules, whatever you want to do, just do it..."
"Uncle Master!" Sha Chenfeng listened blankly, and finally shed two lines of tears from the corners of his wrinkled eyes. Unable to control his sorrowful emotions anymore, Sha Chenfeng shouted loudly.
"Xuan Huo Ma... After today, you don't need to go back to the sect. Please accompany Lao Sha for a walk. If you have a chance..." Xu Yue smiled as he looked at the horse walking towards him and rubbing its head against him. , whispered: "We will definitely meet again."
"Hello..." Xuanhuo Ma shed tears and was reluctant to leave. However, it had been with Shachenfeng for the longest time and had an extremely deep relationship. It was duty-bound to accompany him back to the village.
"Let's go! Take care!"
"Junior Brother Sha, Ma'er, goodbye..."
"Uncle Master! Senior Sister Qin! You... take care of me..." Finally, Sha Chenfeng slowly knelt down, kowtowed, and watched as the figures of Xu Yue and Qin Yun disappeared into the turtle-shaped formation. .
