When the messenger from the Snake-Slaying Alliance came to report the urgent message, there was a lot of commotion. The guests of Tiance Mansion were alerted and came out to take a look.
Although the number of guests invited to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony of Tiance Mansion was not large, the "not many" was also compared with other first-class sect events.
Not to mention the first-class sects, the Sima family's original grand gathering called a wedding banquet, which was actually an alliance, gathered hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators from large and small sects, and also invited other large sects.
In comparison, the Tiance Mansion's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony only invited a total of more than a thousand people, which can indeed be called a small number.
Among these more than a thousand people, the vast majority are cultivators of loose immortals, which is already a considerable force.
There are also nine earthly immortals in total who are related to Luoyang, the six divine monks of Fayu Temple, Su Tongche, a wanderer from all over the world, and the demon spirit flower from China.
In terms of cultivation, he is far superior to the guests of the Sima family in Donghai.
As soon as the messengers from the Snake-Slaying Alliance arrived, disciples from the Tiance Mansion came to invite all the earthly immortals, as well as some of the most popular figures among the Sanxian immortals, to come together to the meeting hall to listen and witness.
This can be regarded as an unwritten rule in the righteous way. Whenever there is an emergency involving the overall situation of the righteous way, if there are guests at home, some guests must be invited to witness it.
Guan Luoyang, Su and Hua Ruyang went together with the car and more than a dozen loose immortals.
Among the six divine monks, only one old monk, Tree Roots, came, which was Master Fa En among the six divine monks.
Late at night, in the meeting hall of Tiance Mansion, the bright pearls were like lamps, illuminating the surroundings and making it bright in all directions.
Since the establishment of the sect in Tiance Mansion, there have been a total of eleven earthly immortals, but only five of them are alive today.
Three of them are Wang Jianpu's uncles, namely Xue Yannian, Changsun Changshi and Qin Sima.
Xue Yannian was generally responsible for external affairs, Changsun Changshi was in charge of internal affairs, and Qin Sima taught his disciples, trained battle formations, and was in charge of criminal laws.
There is another person who is the great uncle of everyone in the Tiance Mansion. Because his seniority is so high that it is difficult to calculate clearly, he is usually only called his great uncle. He is also known as the "Purple Faced Ancestor". He doesn't do much in daily life, but only He concentrated on practicing, and since Wang Jianpu's foundation was damaged, he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of protecting Wang Jianpu.
When everyone came to the meeting hall and took their seats, these four people had already arrived and sat on the main seat.
The purple-faced ancestor had erected a bronze mirror like a gate in the hall, and was silently practicing mystical skills. A hazy scene gradually appeared on the mirror, as if he was looking down at the overall situation from high in the sky.
Mountains, rivers and cities were all within it. The mountain scenery passed by and soon we arrived at the territory where the Snake-Slaying Alliance was located.
I saw black smoke billowing from more than a dozen cities around the Snake-Slaying Alliance's main altar.
In the sky above every city, there are dozens of magic weapons like copper pillars, standing in the air. Many holes are cut out in the copper pillars, which continuously radiate firelight. When it spurts out, it is just a ball of flame the size of a fist, and soon it It swelled to the size of a carriage, and like a meteorite, it fell into the city, destroying houses and walls, and injuring countless people.
The black smoke rising from the burning scenery in the city was mixed with the wailing sounds of the creatures. Once it evaporated, it was absorbed by the bases of those copper pillars.
In each city, although there were flying swords flashing in the sky, transforming into dragon and snake sword energy, they were obviously weak and were completely at a disadvantage. They were in danger.
Everyone in the meeting hall became angry when they saw such a tragic situation.
"Sure enough, it is the Fire Dragon Divine Pillar from the Red Emperor Fire Demon lineage in the Great Demon Hall of the Five Emperors."
Although the purple-faced ancestor also had an angry look in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "The atmosphere of the Cave Heaven Paradise is different from that of the outside world. The scene in the Cave Heaven, the main altar of the Snake-Slaying Alliance, cannot be seen by my Dharma Mirror. Messenger, you said that your Snake-Slaying Alliance is in danger. How critical is it?"
"There are many disciples of the Snake-Slaying Alliance, and they also have the Heavenly Immortal Magic Treasure, the Snake-Slaying Sword. If the six Earth Immortals use this treasure to activate the Cave Heaven Formation, it will be said to be impregnable. Even if the Five Emperors and Great Demon Halls all come out, it is unlikely that they will be able to do it overnight. It’s time to let the Snake-Slaying Alliance take care of the situation.”
The picture on the bronze mirror shows that there is a gray area in the middle of these dozen cities, where the Snake-Slaying Alliance's cave is located. Sure enough, not a single bit of it can be seen.
The envoy of the Snake-Slaying Alliance looked middle-aged, wearing a square scarf, and there were still traces of smoke on his face. He said in an embarrassed tone: "The six Earth Immortal masters in the alliance belong to Cao, Liu, Wu, and Wang." Four families, the four families take turns taking charge of the snake-cutting sword."
"Not long ago, the Wang family was in charge of the snake-cutting sword. Because the real Wang family heard that two of the four cave masters of the Huangquan World Cave were captured by the Fengming Immortal of the East China Sea, and the Zhou Jueyintian Tower was also lost in the East China Sea, he took his disciples with him. Go to the Tiankeng Cave to search for traces of the Huangquan Lushi Cave, seize the many crystal mines in the Huangquan Lushi Cave, kill some demons, and take advantage of the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds."
"In the end, I don't know where the news was leaked. I was ambushed by two demons from the Huangquan and Five Emperors factions. The real Wang family was defeated. Although the snake-killing sword flew back, the demon from Huangquan's World Cave had already blood-sacrificed the real Wang family and many disciples. The underworld is filthy, and the snake-cutting sword is covered in dust."
"After Master Wang was resurrected in the cave through the art of sustenance in the cave, he was liquidated by other real men. All the disciples of the Wang family were stripped of their positions and put under guard."
"The other five real people have recently been trying to warm up the snake-cutting sword and get rid of the curse. When the devil attacked tonight, the snake-cutting sword was launched a step too late. Before the power of the cave was fully activated, the devil broke in and many disciples became possessed. Out of control, chaos.”
"That's when I was ordered to come out and ask for help."
When the messenger spoke, his spiritual thoughts fluctuated, and in an instant, he explained everything clearly with his spiritual thoughts, obviously extremely anxious.
What their Wang family Earth Immortal did was obviously a huge scandal, and it was normal to block the news before.
Now, he can't care about this anymore.
In the hall, a local Loose Immortal guest from Donghuang said: "Some time ago, we did hear that there were changes within the Snake-Slaying Alliance, and the Wang family was in a weak position. We just didn't know the specific situation, and we didn't expect that there would be a Snake-Slaying Alliance. The sword is covered in dust."
Some people from Donghuang nearby also said that they had heard news like "the Wang family was attacked".
Xue Yannian, who had been holding a certain jade tablet in his hand, raised his head and said: "It is indeed impossible to contact the guest elders of the Snake Slayer Alliance who are stationed outside the blessed land."
Qin Sima stood up and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Since what happened is true, Senior Brother Xue, please notify other sects. I will order 800 Hundred Battle Cloud Platforms and bring 80,000 elites from the Fengzi Battalion to support immediately."
The disciples of Tiance Mansion are divided into eight battalions: "Feng Lin Huo, Dragon Tiger Yun Niao", each battalion has 80,000 disciples.
Dragons, tigers, clouds, and birds guarded the key areas of Tiance Mansion, and patrolled the wind, forest, and volcanoes.
Tiance Mansion's response was swift and wise.
However, at this moment, Guan Luoyang, who was looking at the bronze mirror, suddenly said: "Wait a minute! Purple-faced Ancestor, please maintain the technique of observing the mirror, I want to test it."
Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed his palm against the mirror.
Guan Luoyang has become famous recently, and even though the purple-faced ancestor lives in seclusion, he has heard about it a little bit.
Although he was only active in the East China Sea before, his influence has spread to all directions. The East China Sea Fengming Immortal that the Snake-Slaying Alliance envoy mentioned just now refers to him.
Therefore, although he was a little puzzled, the purple-faced ancestor still took advantage of the situation to increase his magic power and maintained the magic mirror viewing technique.
The Cave Heaven Paradise of Tiance Mansion is more than five thousand miles away from the main altar of the Snake-Slaying Alliance.
The magic power of a peak earth immortal like the Purple-faced Ancestor can be transmitted to that distance, but it is already weak to the limit. It can only be used to cast some small spells such as magic mirror observation, and cannot cause any substantial changes.
When Guan Luoyang pressed his palm, the purple-faced ancestor clearly felt a thunderous magic power, which echoed the Nine Heavens Thunder Magnetic and followed the guidance of the magic mirror.
Even thousands of miles away, this magic power has not diminished.
When it reaches two thousand miles away, it loses its brilliance, and when it reaches three thousand miles away, it becomes weak, scattered, and has a tendency to lose its direction.
While the purple-faced ancestor was shocked, he also knew that this was the time when he needed to help. The spiritual orifice array in his body was operating at full strength, and his face changed. His power was like a statue of the King of Heaven carved from copper.
The bronze mirror in the meeting hall trembled, and the direction guidance became clear again.
Guan Luoyang's eyes sparkled, and he stretched his arms to slowly push the palm to the end.
The scene on the mirror changes.
I saw a stream of cyan-blue mana emerging, like light and mist, with lightning flashing in it, expanding like a comet, whizzing away towards the ground.
The power of this palm has actually weakened too much, and it is estimated that it can only be similar to the strike of the First Tribulation Loose Immortal.
But when this cyan-blue comet hit the sky above the wailing cities, it suddenly made waves, as if a corner of the canvas had been lifted, briefly revealing the true scene hidden underneath.
There was a fire dragon flying across the sky, wailing all over the place.
The city was dimly lit, there were occasional pedestrians, the restaurants were noisy, and everything was peaceful.
Although this corner of peace had just emerged, it was covered by the scene of the raging fire dragon.
But it was enough for everyone in the meeting hall to notice something fishy.
——Someone used illusions to confuse the purple-faced ancestor’s Dharma mirror.
Qin Sima's face turned cold, and a burst of magic power had been suppressed from the air to the envoy of the Snake-Slaying Alliance, making him unable to move: "Who are you? How dare you set up such a poisonous plan to come to Tiance Mansion to lure me into sending troops? ?!”
The original intention of his magical suppression was to force the opponent to show his true roots so that he could determine which demonic sect he came from.
But the envoy of the Snake-Slaying Alliance also had a dull look on his face, looking at the bronze mirror in disbelief. When his body was suppressed by the magic power of the Earthly Immortal, his instinct burst out to resist. It was indeed from the "Eight Horses of Jiangdong" from the Snake-Slaying Alliance. Sword Jue".
"I'm afraid he really doesn't know what's going on."
Guan Luoyang raised his finger, and a beam of blue light shone on the head of the Snake-Slaying Alliance envoy. There were many light and shadow scenes, floating in the blue light, and then disappearing one after another.
"In his own memory, he did see magic masters raiding the Snake-Slaying Alliance tonight. However, if you look closely, you will find that in his memory, the scene of the battle between the two earth immortals is very vague."
"He himself may have thought that he was in a daze due to the power of the master, but in fact it was the person who weaved the illusion for him. He did not carefully consider what it would be like for the Earth Immortals of the Snake-Slaying Alliance to fight against the Demonic Earth Immortals. .”
Everyone was shocked and angry, and at the same time some people were shocked by Guan Luoyang's methods.
In the righteous path, it is not that there are no spells for searching souls, locking souls, and testing lies, but generally speaking, such spells can only be guaranteed to be effective enough for Qi Refiners, and their effectiveness against loose immortals will be greatly reduced.
Like Guan Luoyang, flipping through the memories of a loose immortal in the blink of an eye will inevitably send chills down your spine.
Xue Yannian didn't take it seriously, but was a little grateful.
He invited Guan Luoyang. He was originally worried that the demonic attack would cause too many casualties during the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Guan Luoyang's assistance in guarding would be enough to protect more people in Tiance Mansion. If Guan Luoyang wanted to take action at that time, he could defeat the opponent by one or two. A master, that's even better.
But he didn't expect that on the first night he invited Guan Luoyang to come, he would already see through the trick and help Tiance Mansion avoid a disaster.
Several people from Tiance Mansion thanked Guan Luoyang.
Guan Luoyang let the envoy fall asleep, but he frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist Xue, all the major sects in the Eastern Wasteland should have emergency contact methods."
The Eastern Wasteland Rainforest, where the Five Emperors Great Demon Hall is located, is located on the southeast side of Tiance Mansion, and the Huangquan World Cave is further to the southeast. It is a plateau area with obvious weathered and eroded landforms.
The Snake Killing League, Pomo City and the Five Virtues Holy Sect are located on the east and north sides of Tiance Mansion.
The four major sects of the Righteous Path are connected in their spheres of influence, making it easier to assist each other.
The means of contacting each other, apart from visits between ordinary disciples, mainly relies on guest elders.
On the periphery of Dongtian Paradise, some sects and families attached to the four major sects, as well as large cities with special geographical locations and prosperous populations, will have guest elders stationed there.
Guan Luoyang said: "Please contact the Wude Saint Sect and the blessed land in Pomo City and ask them if there is anything strange."
Xue Yannian held two jade tokens in his hand and tried together. He learned that the other two factions had sent their elites to support the Snake-Slaying Alliance.
He quickly informed the two elders that the Snake-Slaying Alliance had been tricked by an illusion, and there must be a scam. He quickly informed the sect leaders of the two factions to withdraw the troops they had just sent.
The two elders were each surprised and quickly cut off communication to report back.
Guan Luoyang asked suspiciously: "Fellow Daoist Xue, the guest elder, isn't he an Earth Immortal?"
Xue Yannian said: "These two are not."
Guan Luoyang said: "You are the Earth Immortal of Tiance Mansion. After reporting such a major event, they didn't invite the Earth Immortal to come and communicate with you and confirm it?"
Xue Yannian inspired Jade Pai again, but found that contact had been lost.
The atmosphere in the hall couldn't help but become weird.
If Guan Luoyang hadn't intervened, Tiance Mansion would have already sent troops.
At that time, Xue Yannian talked with the elders of the two factions and found that all three parties had sent troops. He would only take it for granted and would never question it again.
But now, something is obviously wrong with this situation.
Is the devil's plan to use this method just to spread suspicion, or is it really an ambush with a killer move?
Wude Shengsong and Pomo City, is it just the guest elder who has a problem, or has he really fallen into the trap and sent troops.
"The guest elders who are stationed on the outskirts of the blessed land are usually loose immortals at the peak level. Instead of saying that such people are captured silently and take away the tokens outside the blessed land, I believe that they are colluding with the devil."
Xue Yannian sorted out the situation and said, "We will not hesitate to expose such an important traitor. The Demonic Dao must do something big tonight, otherwise it will be too much of a loss."
"Now we have not fallen into the trap and sent troops. The Snake-Slaying Alliance is safe and sound. The Five Virtues Saint Sect has the most sophisticated formation. Even if we send some troops, the internal defense is the strongest. Therefore, Pomo City is the most likely to have trouble."
The purple-faced ancestor said: "I will use the Dharma Mirror to test again. Fellow Taoist Guan, please see if it is an illusion this time..."
"Uncle Master, there is no need to do more testing. Since they have created suspicion, no matter where we send troops, we will miss the opportunity."
There was a voice outside the hall and several coughs.
Everyone looked around and saw a man with a sallow face, carrying a wooden box on his back, standing outside the hall.
Xue Yannian and others stood up in a hurry: "Master!!"
The purple-faced ancestor hurriedly said: "If any party is really attacked by the devil, if we don't send troops to help, wouldn't it ruin the overall situation of the righteous path?!"
Su Tongche and others were here as guests. Although it was not convenient for them to speak directly, after hearing the words of Master Tiance, their expressions were different and they felt a little worried.
"Brother Guan Dao, I've heard of you for a long time. What happened tonight is thanks to you being here."
The yellow-faced man didn't show any hesitation. He only raised his hand to Guan Luoyang and said, "Would you like to go with us?"
Guan Luoyang couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's exactly what I had in mind, but the Palace Master stole my words."
He walked away as soon as he could, and when he took one step forward, he saw a bolt of lightning crossing the sky into the clouds and disappearing in an instant.
The figure of the yellow-faced man also drifted away like a wisp of smoke, leaving only one sentence behind.
"Except for the two of me, all teachers and fellow Taoists, please stay in Tiance Mansion."
"Where are you going?"
Xue Yannian looked at the direction in which they were leaving, slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized.
"Five Emperors Great Demon Cave Heaven!"
