The leader and his entourage were on full alert as they went deep into Hengduan Mountain.
Along the way, Master Zhang and his party passed by the lairs of several demon kings, but without exception they could not find the demon kings. All the demon kings are no longer in their lair, and they don’t know where they went.
Since there was no sneak attack on the sect's headquarters or the defense line, then...where were these demon kings?
"Junior brothers, the Demon King is not in his lair. Their whereabouts are probably related to the changes in the Hengduan Mountains."
The real leader turned his head and glanced at everyone, his expression became extremely solemn, "Perhaps, the changes in the Hengduan Mountains are more troublesome than we thought, so everyone must be careful."
After warning everyone, the headmaster continued to lead the team forward.
Thousands of miles deep into the Hengduan Mountains, there were no demon kings in any of the demon kings' lairs they passed along the way. All demon kings are "missing".
Could the aura of the Demon King sensed some time ago be the prelude to their collective "disappearance"?
The master's head became more confused and his expression became more solemn.
There are more than twenty Jindan Demon Kings in the entire Hengduan Mountains, and their overall strength is stronger than that of the Haoyang Immortal Sect. Now, these demon kings suddenly "disappeared"?
The reason for the disappearance of these demon kings must be very terrifying.
"keep going!"
The leader waved his hand and led everyone deeper into the Hengduan Mountains.
The missing guardian elder must be rescued, and the reason for the disappearance of the demon king must also be clarified.
What's more, if the masters of the whole sect with such a huge momentum retreated without even understanding the reason, then the Haoyang Immortal Sect would no longer need to be involved in the cultivation world.
Everyone set off again and continued deep into the Hengduan Mountains.
Thousands of miles deep into the Hengduan Mountains, an unusual sight was discovered ahead.
In the mountains thousands of miles ahead, I saw a huge mountain collapse, and a huge crack opened in the ground.
From the cracks, streams of black smoke poured out, revealing an indescribable odor full of odor.
Even if you are thousands of miles away, smelling this foul smell from a distance can make you dizzy and nauseating.
It stinks so much!
The headmaster and others quickly added a layer of protection to themselves to isolate the breath, held their breath again, and turned to their inner breath, which made them feel better.
Then……
Found the problem again.
The breath-isolating protective spell blessed on the body was actually interfered by some kind of force, and there was some slight disorder in the operation of spiritual power.
"This is... impurity spiritual power, impurity spiritual power in animal materials."
The master of the weapon refining hall exclaimed, "Could the impurity spiritual power on those animal materials be caused by this foul smell?"
"The reason for the emergence of the beast tide is probably also caused by this foul smell."
The real person in charge nodded slightly, "The guardian elder may have fallen into the crack. Everyone, take precautions and be careful. Let's rescue the guardian elder."
After saying that, the headmaster waved his hand, and a golden glow rushed out, turning into a golden bell, hanging above his head.
A bright golden light shines from the golden bell, protecting everyone around them like a light curtain. The sun rises in the east, the golden crow spreads its wings, the fire surges into the sky, and various visions circulate on the light curtain.
This is the "Haoyang Bell", the inherited treasure of the Haoyang Immortal Sect.
Under the protection of the "Haoyang Bell", everyone fled all the way, flying towards the crack where the foul air was boiling.
After going deep into the crack, the filthy air became even more intense.
Even with the protection of Haoyang Bell, even if he holds his breath and turns to inner breath, he can still feel the indescribable smell.
More importantly, the aura that interferes with the operation of spiritual power has a powerful corrosive effect and has some impact on the operation of the Haoyang Bell.
"Speed up, you can't stay here for long."
The real headmaster gave an order and led everyone to speed up.
Thousands of feet deep into the ground, a huge horizontal hole appeared in front of them, and the foul-smelling black smoke came out of this hole.
The dirty air interferes more seriously with the operation of spiritual power.
The master leader had no choice but to retreat among the crowd, activate the Haoyang Bell with all his strength, and increase protection to resist the erosion of this filthy air.
Holding the Haoyang Bell, everyone continued to go deeper along the horizontal hole.
After walking in the winding passage for less than half an hour, the filthy air coming from the front was already very strong, and black smoke filled the surroundings like a vast fog.
The erosion of the filthy air has become even more serious.
The Master Master felt it was a bit difficult to drive the Haoyang Bell alone, so he called the Master of the Chuanfa Hall and the Master of the Alchemy Hall over, and the three of them worked together to use their spiritual power to drive the Haoyang Bell.
Continuing forward along the passage, a huge underground cavity suddenly appeared in front of it.
The filthy air that permeated this underground cavity was extremely strong, and the entire underground cavity was pitch black, as if it were filled with ink.
Fortunately, everyone is a real Jindan. After casting the "Golden Eyes from Fire" spell, they can still penetrate the filthy atmosphere and see the way forward clearly.
In the eyes of everyone, this huge underground cavity is hundreds of feet high and thousands of feet in diameter.
At the end of this underground cavity, you can still vaguely see some collapsed buildings. It seems that... this is a ruins?
At this moment, no one was paying attention to the ruins.
The filthy air in the underground space was so strong and corrosive that the three Master Masters worked together to drive the Haoyang Bell, but they couldn't hold it anymore. They could only leave the Master of the Sword Forging Hall to protect the law, and the others drove the Haoyang Bell together. Yang Zhong.
"Search for the guardian elders quickly. Don't stay here for a long time. Over time, the Haoyang Bell will be defaced."
The real person in charge urged, and everyone hurriedly took action, using the "Golden Eyes from Fire" spell to search everywhere.
"Over there! There's a situation over there!"
After a while, the master of the Weaving Palace pointed to the northwest corner of the underground cavity and shouted to everyone.
"Go and investigate!"
The head master gave an order, and everyone joined forces to drive the Haoyang Bell and search in the direction pointed by the master of the Weaving Hall.
Passing through a collapsed building, everyone saw a pile of people lying on the ground in front of them... To be precise, there was a person lying on the ground in front of them, and about twenty huge monsters.
"It turns out that all the missing demon kings are here!"
The master of the Sword Forging Hall exclaimed.
"Don't worry about the demon king, rescue the guardian elder quickly, and let's leave immediately!"
The headmaster shouted loudly, and everyone took action immediately.
Hurrying to the guardian elder who was lying on the ground with black smoke coming out of his body, the master in charge drove the Haoyang Bell and shrouded the elder guardian under the protection of the magic weapon.
Then……
"vomit!"
Everyone couldn't help but burst into retching.
Without the protection of Haoyang Bell, even if everyone holds their breath and turns to their inner breath, they can still feel the unbearable stench.
"Qingming Lingshui, hurry!"
The headmaster said continuously.
The master of Fulu Hall hurriedly took out a jade bottle, opened the lid, and poured it on the guardian elder who was full of filthy air.
The effect of Qingming Lingshui is very obvious.
After pouring this bottle of Qingmingling water, the black smoke billowing from the body of the guardian elder immediately dissipated, and the smell became much lighter.
The guardian elder also regained some consciousness, opened his eyes and saw everyone, and shouted quickly: "Go! This place is ominous, go quickly!"
It’s definitely ominous!
More than twenty Jindan Demon Kings, and you, are all trapped here. Isn’t it ominous enough?
"withdraw!"
The headmaster shouted loudly, and everyone drove the Haoyang Bell together and hurriedly evacuated.
Before leaving, the master of the Weaving Hall turned to look at the demon kings lying on the ground, and suddenly his expression changed: "Brother, the demon king is missing, and the black fox demon king is not here!"
The master's face changed. If he was attacked by the Black Fox Demon King at this time, there would be a danger of the entire army being destroyed.
"Be careful and retreat! Escape quickly!"
——
Black Dragon Ridge, midnight.
Xu Kezheng was drinking and chatting with Gao Zhengzheng, Zhao Qingshan, Peng Zhengqing and others.
After Peng Zhengqing and the Black Dragon Ridge formation master completed the formation connection, the formations throughout the entire defense line were also connected one after another. The defense lines stretching for thousands of miles have been connected in series to form a whole.
With this huge formation protection, the beast tide no longer poses much of a threat.
There are many foundation-building monks stationed at each defense line. Coupled with the large array of guards, as long as the Jindan Demon King does not attack, even if a large number of foundation-building monsters are besieged, they can still withstand it.
As long as you persist for a while, the flying boat warships will come to support you and you can easily repel the foundation-building monsters.
Seeing this, Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this beast tide has not had much impact on Haoyang Immortal Sect, and there is no possibility of destroying the sect.
It’s great to be able to continue practicing quietly without having to run away.
"Senior Brother Zhao, is there any news from your master? Has the sect leader figured out a way to deal with impurities in animal materials? I have collected a lot of animal materials!"
Gao Zhengzheng talked about his business while drinking.
"No news."
Zhao Qingshan shook his head, "Besides, the sect's top leaders have all rushed into Hengduan Mountain, and they must want to end this war as soon as possible. If there is really a way to deal with animal materials, why are they in such a hurry to end the war?"
"Sigh...am I going to lose blood again this time?"
Gao Zhengzheng sighed again.
When Xu Ke heard this, his heart moved, Huh? The sect hasn't found a way to remove impurity spiritual energy yet? A corruption spell can solve the problem, why haven't the sect bosses discovered it yet?
"Senior Brother Gao, don't worry, this matter may turn around."
Xu Ke raised his wine glass towards Gao Zheng and smiled meaningfully.
Let Gao Zhengzheng purchase high-quality animal materials at low prices, and then I can purify them again, and then I can make a lot of money.
However, this money is a bit hot. If you make too much, there will be problems. It may be confiscated directly by the sect.
We need to bring in a few more people to form a community of interests so that others won't dare to attack casually.
Everyone present can be brought in, and even... doesn't Gao Zhengzheng have some friendship with the true disciple Li Muzi? It would be safer to pull her in.
It's just such a coincidence.
When Xu Ke was thinking about how to recruit Li Muzi to join his team, a golden-red flame suddenly burst out from the sky in front of him.
Looking from a distance, I saw a huge flying warship roaring through the sky, spreading sword light all over the sky. Countless feather-like sword lights swept across all directions like a violent storm.
I go! Is this... spawning monsters?
Driving the guardian elder's car and driving around to collect military achievements in the middle of the night, is this blatant cheating, right?
However, he is a direct disciple of the protector elder, and his status is second only to the apprentice of the master. Even if he drives his master's car, as long as he does not use a battleship to amplify and recruit monsters, no one will say anything.
Precisely because of her high status, she is suitable to serve as a protective umbrella for the evil forces like us. Come down and ask Gao Zhengzheng to find an opportunity to contact Junior Sister Li Muzi to see if he can get her to join the gang.
Xu Ke smiled and looked away.
When he looked away, the corner of Xu Ke's eyes swept across the wilderness outside Black Dragon Ridge. His expression suddenly froze, and he felt a sense of surprise in his heart.
Just now, when the corner of his eye swept across the wilderness, Xu Ke's qi-gazing technique detected a spiritual wave full of dark aura.
Turning his head to look over, the dark wave as deep as the night sky disappeared without a trace.
what's the situation?
Xu Ke was secretly frightened, but kept a calm expression on his face, pretending not to notice anything, and drank with Gao Zhengzheng and others again.
However, from the corner of Xu Ke's eyes, he was still paying attention to the position where he noticed the movement just now.
The next moment, the dark wave appeared again, the aura was vague but deep and far away.
This... looks very much like the aura of Jindan Zhenren!
Golden elixir demon king?
Xu Ke's heart tightened, he threw away the cup in his hand and said to everyone: "We've had enough fun tonight, let's get going!"
While speaking, Xu Ke quickly winked at everyone and gestured, "Golden Pill Demon King!"
Gao Zhengzheng and the others suddenly changed their expressions.
"Haha! I'm done drinking, why not go back!"
Gao Zhengzheng reacted very quickly, laughed loudly, dropped his glass, stood up unsteadily, turned around and left.
"Haha! We're going back together! We're going back together!"
Everyone else is also smart, so why don’t they know what to do?
So Xu Ke and the other two pretended to be laughing and joking, and staggered down the city wall.
"Elder Sun, Elder Sun, there is a golden elixir demon king coming!"
After entering the station, Gao Zhengzheng quickly took out the summons talisman and sent a message to Elder Sun of the Sinong Hall who was in charge of Heilongling.
Without saying a word, Xu Ke and Peng Zhengqing rushed up and flew towards the large formation altar in Black Dragon Ridge.
"Junior brother Lin, leave the formation to me!"
After rushing into the altar, Peng Zhengqing directly occupied the altar, and a burst of spiritual power hit the array plate, "Activate the emergency connection, extract the spiritual energy of all the stations along the entire defense line, and activate the Wutu Formation with all your strength!"
"Senior Brother Peng, what's going on..."
The formation masters in Black Dragon Ridge were a little dazed, but they did not dare to hesitate. They quickly activated the emergency connection and assisted Peng Zhengqing in frantically extracting the spiritual energy from the formations on the entire front and activating the Wutu formation with all their strength.
"Gen Tu Kun Yuan, a man of great virtue!"
Peng Zhengqing shouted loudly, and all his spiritual power exploded. He held the magic sword in both hands, like dragging a big mountain, raised it with difficulty, and pointed it at the Qilin formation flag.
With sweat pouring down his body and his face pale, Peng Zhengqing raised his magic sword and with great difficulty shot out a powerful blast of earth spiritual power.
"The central Wu soil is as motionless as a mountain!"
"Get into formation!"
There was only a loud "bang", like an earthquake, and the ground beneath the entire defense line shook.
A bright yellow light curtain as thick as the earth shone on the Black Dragon Ridge.
Just as the light curtain was born, the dark shadow suddenly erupted.
"YoYo……"
The fox cries and the shadows fill the sky.
A huge black fox with a length of dozens of feet erupted into shadows that stretched all over the sky and the earth. It was full of dark fire and rushed towards the Black Dragon Ridge defense line.
