After learning that Nie Rifu had killed Bai Hu, the Nine-tailed Fox's right-hand man, the Qingwu patriarch was surprised and happy. Facing the ruined palace of the Holy Mother, he didn't know what to say. The key was to lose his temper against the destroyers.
Instead, Nie Rifu took the initiative to fly over and asked her, "Clan leader, are nine-tailed foxes also afraid of the scorching sun?"
Chief Qingwu: "Of course I'm afraid."
Nie Rifu: "In other words, if we dig up the Zhenling Bell and expose her to the scorching sun, will we be able to kill her?"
Chief Qingwu shook his head and showed a palm to demonstrate, "The Zhenling Bell was originally a palm-sized magic weapon. After it is released, it can become extremely huge. It is said that it is bigger than the mountain where the palace is held. You guys The mountain-sized Zhenling Bell seen in that basin is just the tip of the iceberg, and most of it is buried deep underground.
After this magic weapon suppressed the Nine-tailed Fox, it was corroded and destroyed by the Nine-tailed Fox's evil energy. It could no longer shrink, and its weight could not be reduced. It was so heavy that even the Nine-tailed Fox's cultivation level could not overthrow it. You Are you sure you can poach it?
Furthermore, it was not that the nine-tailed fox was directly pressed into the ground. When the magic weapon was used, it was suppressed within the bell. It would not be able to see the sun unless the bell body was broken. Also, although she was restrained by our ancestors, her strength is still not something that outsiders can easily approach. Are you sure you can fight with her at close range?"
These words made everyone feel heavy, and Nie Rifu had to think about it silently. Nanzhu added, "The Zhenling Bell is indeed very large. I have gone in there before, and the way up and down is quite long. .”
Nie Rifu asked him, "What is the specific situation inside?"
Nanzhu spread his hands and said, "I really don't know this. I just got tossed in and out, and got out before I had time to understand what was going on inside."
Nie Rifu asked the clan leader again, "Is there no way to deal with the nine-tailed fox if we rely on ourselves?"
Qingwu Clan Chief: "My clan has tried every means in the past generations. Even the Nine-tailed Fox's subordinates have thought about getting rid of her many times. They all have a status similar to that of Baihu, and they have tried every means. There are even those who cooperated with my clan, but ended up dying at the hands of the nine-tailed fox. The difference in strength is too big, and after so many fights, maybe only a stronger immortal can successfully deal with her."
Yu Qing pondered and interjected, "The Nine-tailed Fox is in a passive situation. There should be ways. Maybe we just didn't think of it. Otherwise, the Nine-tailed Fox wouldn't be in a hurry to get rid of City Lord Nie. There must be some methods we haven't thought of yet. Understand the reason.”
I don’t know what else to do? I can only think about it slowly.
Most of the Qingwu clan then gathered at the place where the palace collapsed. They didn't do anything and just gathered there in groups. It's not clear whether it was nostalgia or sentimentality.
But others have to face a problem. It is unlikely that they can get the Tianyi Order back, at least not in a short period of time. Without the Tianyi Order, they cannot go back. I am afraid they have to prepare themselves for a long-term foothold here. We have to discuss this issue.
Nie Rifu was not interested in everyone's discussions. He seemed to be used to being alone, standing on the top of the highest mountain nearby and looking into the distance.
Lian Yu seemed to be in a state of despair, and found a slope to sit on, quietly, with Huniu accompanying him.
Mu Aotie was not in the mood to participate in everyone's deliberations. He was not a talkative person to begin with. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he would always wander around Lian Yu, or stand quietly, without even going up to say a word. Words of comfort.
When the sun was high, a group of people got busy, found a suitable hilltop, and began to dig holes in the mountain, preparing to build a long-term living place, otherwise it would not be an option to be exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.
We all have to face the reality that we may not be able to go back.
Fortunately, for a group of monks, doing this kind of work is not difficult, and it can be solved in half a day.
As for the residences of Nie Rifu and Lian Yu, naturally someone took the initiative to help build them and provided them with the best location.
When it got dark, not all the Qingwu clan left this time. The clan leader allowed half of the clan to continue hiding, while the remaining half rarely stayed to watch. With Nie Ri lying here, everyone had no idea about the evil spirits. What fear.
When the bright moon hung high in the sky, Lian Yu had already entered the cave with a muffled sound, but Nie Rifu still had no intention of coming over to join the group.
After setting up sentry posts, most people gathered around the Qingwu clan leader, including Yu Qing and others, and humbly asked for details about Penglai Mountain.
It was late at night, and during the break, Nanzhu found Yu Qing looking around, talking for no apparent reason.
He lifted his sleeves and said, "What are you looking at? I've been stretched out for so long. Take the time to meditate and recover."
Yu Qing muttered in confusion, "Where's Duan Yunyou? After I saw him getting up and leaving, he didn't seem to see anyone else. Is something going to happen?"
Shen Wukong, who was passing by, didn't know what he was thinking of. With a sarcastic look on his face, he casually teased, "I didn't expect you to care about him."
Just because he knew that Duan Yunyou had arranged a bunch of spies around Yu Qing and others. Of course, for a person like him, when such hidden information cannot be used to its fullest potential, he would have to keep it secret and would not let it out at will. .
"Well, isn't that coming?" Nanzhu patted Yu Qing's arm and pointed at a few figures from the Flying Eagle Gang who were strolling not far away. Among them, the one who occasionally coughed like a sick ghost was Duan Yunyou. .
Yu Qing didn't care about Duan Yunyou, he was simply touched by the abnormality. Seeing that he was fine, he stopped talking and went back to rest.
Although the survivors of several gangs have arranged joint watch personnel, in this case, the brothers still did not dare to place their safety on others. Even if they stayed alone at night, they were afraid of losing something. The four of them were divided into two. The team is divided into upper and lower shifts to take breaks.
The night was quiet, and the guards of the Qingwu clan stared at their surroundings with wide eyes. Their clan had not gathered together to spend the night together for a long time, so it was both novel and nervous.
Being able to see at night, they discovered that the leader of the Scorpion Gang seemed to have maintained a high level of vigilance, coming out of the cave to observe the surroundings from time to time, and occasionally even leading patrols in person.
As dawn approached, they discovered that Duan Yunyou had taken two people on patrol again, but this time no one came back, but they didn't pay too much attention.
The two members of the Flying Eagle Gang who followed Duan Yunyou on patrol also discovered something unusual. They didn't know what the gang leader was sneaking into the mountains with. They were far away from the gathering place. One of them couldn't help but asked: "Gang Leader, there might be evil spirits ambush around." , where are we going?”
"Shh!" Duan Yunyou turned around and pointed to his lips to signal for silence, and gestured not to ask any more questions, just follow him.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and had no choice but to follow in a muffled voice, paying attention to their surroundings along the way.
After the group of three people made a long circle, the sky was already dimly lit, and Duan Yunyou raised his hand to signal to stop. He hid behind a big rock in a mountain col and peeked at the scene on a certain mountain peak.
After observing for a while, the two people who followed realized that it was not the hilltop where Nie Rifu, the lord of Block City, was alone. The gang leader took them in a large circle to find out what it meant.
Before the two of them could ask questions, Duan Yunyou had already turned around, called the two of them over, and whispered in their ears for a while.
The two of them were quite surprised after hearing this, and one of them whispered back: "Gang leader, what are we doing?"
Duan Yunyou whispered: "If you want to leave here alive, just cooperate. You will understand later."
The two could only nod submissively.
But there are still questions. One person asked: "What if he doesn't come?"
Duan Yunyou: "But come here and ignore him, we won't lose anything. Anyway, with his cultivation level, he should be able to hear some noise if he makes some noise."
The two people with worried faces fell silent.
Duan Yunyou turned around and took a deep breath, saying that he was not afraid that it was a lie, but he still stumbled out and ran out, knocking over the clattering stones under his feet, and he fell to the ground and rolled over, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"Gang Leader, Gang Leader, what's wrong with you?"
The two people who looked at each other bravely followed out, shouting non-stop and looking extremely anxious.
On the top of the mountain, Nie Rifu, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, moved his ears slightly. He glanced coldly at the mountain in front of him. Suddenly, he stood up like a bat flying at night and landed near the movement to observe. He saw that it was running towards him before. Duan Yunyou, who had his ear treated, was somewhat surprised and asked aloud: "What's wrong with him?"
One person seemed anxious and said, "I don't know. Each of our gangs takes turns on patrol. When the gang leader brought us here, something suddenly went wrong. We can't find out the reason."
Nie Rifu floated down from the big rock he was standing on. After waving for the two of them to get out of the way, he half-crouched down to investigate in person. He found that Duan Yunyou had no pulse and even his heartbeat had stopped. He couldn't help but be shocked: "Eh?" He couldn't figure out what was going on.
Just when he was about to concentrate and investigate carefully, his eyes flashed, and he noticed that Duan Yunyou's energy suddenly had a pull, which could also be said to be a sudden attack. He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his whole body's cultivation was about to take effect. His strength is also enough to cope with it, and some sneak attack tricks can't do anything to him.
However, his figure felt as if he was struck by lightning. He trembled suddenly, and his consciousness fell into a trance for an instant. He didn't even have time to generate extra thoughts. The last moment he felt was a stinging pain in his ankle.
Seeing Nie Rifu slumped to the ground, Duan Yunyou, who cast a spell to temporarily suppress his heartbeat and pulse, breathed heavily, and all the pressure was released.
Nie Rifu fell down, and he sat up. The hand attached to Nie Rifu's ankle stabbed hard again, half of the object in his hand was inserted, and then he dared to slowly let go of his hand with confidence. , revealing half of the green hairpin.
The luster of the hairpin was also different at this time, exuding a faint green brilliance.
Duan Yunyou was not surprised by this. He first tested it on his subordinates. As long as the hairpin was inserted into a person's body, it would glow, as if it had become spiritual and come alive. As for the subordinate who was ostensibly arranged to receive the letter, after he got the hairpin, read the contents of the letter, and conducted experiments on him, he was allowed to disappear.
At this time, the two members of the Flying Eagle Gang on the side were shocked and unbelievable when they saw Nie Rifu actually falling at the hands of the gang leader. They did not expect that this was what the gang leader asked them to cooperate with.
Duan Yunyou got up, and when he saw Nie Rifu lying motionless on the ground, he was still frightened. He knew that with Nie Rifu's cultivation and reaction speed, under normal circumstances he could sneak up on him at close range, even if it was to attack Nie Rifu. It is difficult to give a deep enough fatal blow to the vital parts of the body.
What's more, Nie Rifu couldn't easily expose his vital points to outsiders, let alone stabbed his ankle in a part that didn't affect his counterattack. Thanks to the miraculous effect of the soul-fixing hairpin, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to succeed at all.
Regardless of the reactions of his two men, he looked around and quickly asked his two men to carry Nie Rifu and follow him.
Finding a place that was not easy to find, he asked the two of them to guard Nie Ri Fu Zang. He especially pointed at the soul-fixing hairpin and said, "This is something I have prepared long ago to restrain Qilin Ginseng. You must not pull it out." , otherwise Nie Rifu will kill us all when he wakes up."
It was not certain that the soul hairpin was a treasure, which was enough to make the two nervous men nod and remember it.
And he didn't stay long, he left quickly and took a detour back to the gathering place.
