Above the sky, monks from the five major immortal kingdoms gathered together. Elder Fengyuan Shulian of the Shengfu Sect, Zhong Yiyi, the patrol envoy of the Western Region, Lu Yuangu, the patrol envoy of the Eastern Region, and the masters and deputy masters of the Seven Great Halls stood in front of them. , followed closely, the monks from the four realms of east, south, west and north formed several square formations on the left and right, while the teams of monks from the other four realms were even more overwhelming, blocking out the clouds and the sun, covering a large area south of Kuiyun Ridge. The mountainous area is surrounded by an airtight environment.
"kill!"
"Kill!"
Following Fengyuan Shulian's order, everyone moved together, each activated their magic weapon and magic, and moved forward to surround them.
Although there were a lot of monsters in those mountainous areas, they were hunted down by the monks from the five immortal kingdoms in all directions, with almost nothing to hide from. There were roars, roars, and miserable howls for a while.
At this moment, colorful rainbows of light pierced the sky, like a falling meteor shower, instantly illuminating half of the sky south of Kuiyun Ridge. The ground began to tremble violently, and the roaring and booming explosions all around were deafening.
Such a large-scale bombardment triggered a surge of spiritual energy in the world, and the dust and mist began to boil and roll. It was like the end of the world, turning into a large chaotic atmosphere rushing over the mountainous area...
Less than half an hour later, the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect, led by Elder Feng Yan and Tiger Immortal Qu Liangjun, went out to a dense forest area in the northeast and began to eliminate the scattered monsters that had fled here.
Over the past few days, a group of purple-clothed disciples have followed Liu Qingyi around to hunt monsters, and they have become familiar with it. They are no longer as timid as when they first saw these ferocious monsters.
There was almost no need for anyone to make arrangements, and everyone commanded their respective fairy beasts in a tacit understanding, digging into the ground to search the forest.
The group of monsters hiding inside had already panicked. After most of them were killed, they fled to the southern foot of Kuiyun Mountain.
Liu Qingyi led the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect in hot pursuit, and finally blocked the escaping monsters outside the light curtain of the Kuiyun Ridge formation, and directly slaughtered them all under a barrage of bombardment.
In the evening, the monsters in the mountainous area south of Kuiyun Ridge were finally wiped out under the encirclement of the five immortal kingdom monks.
After that, several monks from the Holy Talisman Sect held formation cards, opened the large formation light curtain on the south side of Kuiyun Ridge, and introduced the monks from the Immortal Kingdom into the ridge one by one.
As night falls, the dazzling white light from the light curtain dome of Kuiyun Ridge gathers huge light pillars at the formation nodes, shining the entire mountain range as bright as day.
In the meantime, the monks from the five Immortal Kingdoms each settled down in one place and began to rest and recuperate. Everything gradually returned to calm.
In this battle, because there were many powerful monsters, the five major immortal kingdom monks still suffered over a hundred casualties, most of which were weak monks from small immortal sects and casual cultivators. The losses suffered by those powerful immortal sect monks , almost negligible.
As soon as Liu Qingyi settled down, he wandered around Kuiyun Ridge with Yan Kuan, Bu Jiu, and Li Deqiang. They came to Beidi last time and stayed on the ridge for a relatively long time. They revisited their old places this time. , naturally there is no interest in it.
A few people wandered down and found that there were crowds of people everywhere on Kuiyun Ridge. A large number of mortals and monks who had fled from surrounding towns and villages were living among them. Most of these people had sad expressions on their faces. They were not prepared for the arrival of the four people from Miaoyuan Peak. Turning a blind eye is a state of complete indifference.
Liu Qingyi was affected by the emotions of the people in front of him. Thinking of the scene where monks from the four realms gathered here in the past, a sense of things were different and people were different in his heart. He felt that this once extremely familiar mountain range was now gone. It became strange and distant, as if it was a world away from him.
The four of them wandered around like this for a while until they arrived at the southwest area of Kuiyun Ridge, where they discovered a large number of mortal camps stationed there.
Although it is said to be a camp, it is actually not as organized as in the past. Most of them are sitting in groups here and there. All kinds of tattered flags are piled up on the ground. Human voices and animal roars are mixed together. one slice.
These are the remnants of the Northern Border Guards of the Immortal Kingdom who escaped. Since the outbreak of the previous round of demonic disasters, the major battalions of the Northern Border Guards have suffered heavy losses, almost to the point of losing seven to eight.
To be honest, these mortal armies are just tools for the Immortal Kingdom to take over its territory. When the two immortals fight, the enemy monks will still respect their status and will not attack the mortal army.
The monsters from the abyss are not so particular. Whether they are the northern monks who stayed behind or the mortal camps guarding the major cities and villages, they are all used as blood food.
The four people walked around the area and looked around. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Li Deqiang raising his hand and pointing downwards, shouting: "Look, look quickly, is that Pei Ziying?"
Several people looked in the direction of his finger and saw more than ten ragged soldiers sitting on a low hill, led by a strong woman with disheveled sideburns.
This woman is taller than the average man, and looks extremely conspicuous in the crowd. Not far from the woman's feet, a tattered banner with the word "PEI" written on it is lying on the ground.
Under the arrangement of the Immortal Kingdom, the disciples of the Tianshou Sect once served as patrol inspectors of the Pei Zi Camp, and they went their separate ways when they marched north together to Shuishalian. They were no strangers to the chief and deputy commanders of the camp, and they only had a brief introduction. After looking around, he recognized that the strong woman was Chen Qiufeng, the deputy commander of Pei Ziying.
The four men from Tianshoumen sank down and landed not far in front of this group of people, causing these Pei Ziying soldiers and Chen Qiufeng to look up one after another.
Chen Qiufeng looked at these people in surprise, but the more he looked at them, the more familiar they looked. Suddenly he seemed to remember something. He immediately stood up from the short hill, bowed and saluted: "It turns out they are some immortal envoys. Qiufeng is so polite." !”
A group of Pei Ziying soldiers also stood up together with Chen Qiufeng. They all clasped their fists and saluted the four people, saying loudly: "Greetings to the Immortal Envoy!"
Liu Qingyi looked around and asked, "Where is your Commander Pei?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiufeng's face showed a trace of sadness that could not be concealed, and she replied in a deep voice: "Pei Dutong, Deputy Dutong Zhang, and all the brothers in the camp died on the south bank of the water and sand ripples in order to resist the evil disaster."
Liu Qingyi couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this, and even Yan Kuan, Bu Jiu, and Li Deqiang also looked dark.
After a long time, he sighed and said: "Oh... what a pity... I wonder what your plans are now?"
Chen Qiufeng looked a little solemn and said: "I don't have any plans. According to the wishes of the Immortal Kingdom, we will have to stay on the mountain for a while."
Liu Qingyi nodded, feeling a little confused and puzzled in his heart. In his opinion, since the monsters in the south have been eliminated, why not let these mortals retreat to the south of the Ice Vein. With the situation in the north now full of monsters, these mortal troops are stationed there. This really doesn't make much sense anymore. Once the situation changes, it will send the sheep into the wolf's mouth, causing unnecessary losses.
However, since the Immortal Kingdom requires these people to continue to garrison, there is nothing anyone can do to change it.
Perhaps those high-level immortal figures did not care about the lives of these mortal soldiers. After all, in their eyes, the so-called Northern Defenders were just a vassal tool for them to regain the North.
As the saying goes, ordinary people are like ants. This understanding is deeply ingrained in the hearts of many immortal monks, and it cannot be changed overnight.
Liu Qingyi was thinking secretly in her heart, but her face didn't reveal anything strange, and then she asked: "I wonder what the situation in the north is like now?"
Chen Qiufeng shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I don't know... the Immortal Kingdom only asked us to stay in Kuiyun Ridge and didn't tell us anything else."
At this point in the conversation, there was nothing left to say. Liu Qingyi and the others stopped asking any more questions and directly left everyone and rushed to the station.
In two days, Uncle Fengyuan, the elder of Shengfu Sect, invited senior figures from Dayu Fairy Kingdom, Dongling Fairy Kingdom, Nanhua Fairy Kingdom and Xiaoji Fairy Kingdom to discuss and decided that Kuiyunling would be the starting point for the monks of the five major fairy kingdoms. , a plan to drive away monsters in five directions to the north. m.
When everyone was on the Tongcai Mountain, the custom of going out to hunt monsters in exchange for spirit stones was also retained, in order to continue to mobilize the enthusiasm of the monks from the major fairy countries.
On the third day, a group of Holy Talisman Sect disciples went to each immortal sect station, handed out various numbers of large formation cards, and once again clarified the specific responsible directions of the five major immortal kingdoms.
On that day, large and small demon hunting teams gathered on Kuiyun Ridge and began to go north to Kuiyun Ridge one after another, hunting down the monsters along the way.
However, because the area to the north of Kuiyun Ridge is vaster, the strength and number of monsters in it are far greater than before. Demon hunting teams organized by various parties not only find it more difficult to hunt monsters, but also suffer more and more losses. The bigger.
At this time, the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect were not in a hurry to go out to exorcise the demons. Instead, they stayed at the station to watch and linger. According to the elder Feng Yan, there were many teams going out now, so there was no need to follow them immediately to join in the fun.
In his opinion, since the monsters in the north are becoming more and more difficult to deal with, taking risks to kill monsters in exchange for spirit stones has become a stupid behavior. After all, the safety of his disciples is the most important. What does Yuanshi mean?
At that time, there were quite a few masters of the major immortal sects who had this idea, especially those of the more powerful immortal sects. They became less active in hunting demons and almost unanimously chose to spend their time wandering around Kuiyun Ridge. .
This is normal. After all, with the background of these powerful immortal sects, they don’t pay much attention to the spiritual essence stones that can be exchanged for hunting monsters. If there is usually no risk, it doesn’t matter. Once the risk is too great, and there is no With enough chips, who is willing to risk the lives of his disciples? !
Of course, except for those small immortal sects and casual cultivator monks who are short of resources, they already use hunting monsters in exchange for spirit stones as a shortcut to quickly obtain immortal resources.
This also makes the teams that go north to Kuiyun Ridge to exorcise demons are mostly composed of monks from the Xiaoxian Sect and the Rogue Cultivator Sect.
Some people died, but not completely...
