In a small town with ruins more than a thousand miles away from Tongcheng, there were flames everywhere among the dilapidated and collapsed buildings, and some monsters flashed quickly in the streets and alleys.
There are still fresh blood and torn clothes on the streets and alleys of the small town. A breeze blows through and the strong smell of blood is suffocating. Occasionally, the pitiful screams of humans and the roars of monster beasts could be heard in the distance, turning this small town into a purgatory on earth.
In the center of the small town, there was a huge bell tower made of thick bluestone. Countless monsters rushed towards the bell tower. On top of the bell tower, a group of foundation-building monks covered in blood looked solemnly at the surging monsters below.
The underground stone chamber in the bell tower was densely packed with a group of women and children. Perhaps because of fear, it was extremely quiet. In everyone's eyes, there was nothing but fear and despair. Even the babbling babies did not dare to cry because of this strange sight.
They all knew that if those monsters rushed into the bell tower, death would be waiting for them.
The group of foundation-building monks on the bell tower who looked solemnly at the monsters gathering towards the bell tower were monks from Liuyun Sect. One of them is Shao Qingsong. After nearly a hundred years of practice, his cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building. His vicissitudes of life tell everyone that he has experienced countless hardships and obstacles in the past hundred years, and he has also grown from a boy to a man. Middle-aged monk.
Because the five sects learned that monsters frequently attacked villages and towns, he was sent by the elders of the sect to assist the evacuation of mortals in small towns near the wild forest.
He helped evacuate several small towns without stopping, but today was not smooth. As soon as he led the sect monks to arrive here, monsters attacked the small towns. Which group did he lead the sect monks to drive away? Monsters attacking small towns.
It was just when he had just gathered the old, young, women and children who were hiding and was preparing to lead the evacuation. Another wave of monsters appeared in this small town, and he could only bring these women and children to the clock tower, the only fortress in this small town.
More and more monsters gathered below, making Shao Qingsong's face look increasingly ugly. Although he had sent out several distress signals, he was not sure whether he would be able to wait for rescue.
Shao Qingsong stared at the void in the distance with a solemn face. When he saw the huge vulture monster flying towards him, he said: "Deploy the formation!" Then several foundation-building monks around him waved the formation flags in their hands, and then laid out a glowing formation near the bell tower. The formation restriction of golden light.
"Senior Brother Shao, with so many monsters gathering here, I feel like the formation won't last long!" A young monk in the early stages of foundation building said with a little worry.
Shao Qingsong nodded and continued: "Let's do our best! We can hold on as long as we can, which can be regarded as fighting for a chance of life for these thousands of old, young, women and children! If we can't hold on in the end, the elders of the sect will ask about the matter, It also gives me a clear conscience!”
But before he finished speaking, ripples appeared on the formation's light shield, which was a bit unstable. Several huge vulture monsters were seen hitting the formation's light shield.
Shao Qingsong's face became even more ugly, and then he flew out of the formation with the spirit sword in his hand. Several foundation-building monks saw Shao Qingsong flying out of the formation and followed him.
They hope to lure away some of the monsters to reduce the pressure on the formation.
However, Shao Qingsong's face suddenly turned pale, and he saw several fourth-level monsters appearing in the distance and flying towards him.
These fourth-level monsters were the fastest Wind Shadow Wolf monsters, and the Wind Shadow Wolf surrounded them as fast as lightning. One of the early-stage foundation-building monks did not react quickly and was seriously injured by the claws of the Wind Shadow Wolf. He was covered in blood and collapsed. Then he was bitten and devoured by several other monsters that swarmed up. In an instant, this early-stage foundation-building monk was There are no bones left.
When Shao Qingsong saw this scene, he let out a roar with anger in his eyes, and then turned into a black shadow and rushed into the monster beasts. Suddenly, there was a shrill roar and the sound of metal and stone clashing from the monster beast group.
After a few breaths, Shao Qingsong's face turned pale again. He knew that he could not hold on much longer, and several of the sect brothers who had just rushed out of the formation were injured. Although they had not died, they were still in danger.
He turned to look at the bell tower and sighed, thinking to himself: "I've tried my best!"
He was going to notify several other companions to leave. He knew that if he didn't leave, they might all become the prey of the monster.
Suddenly he felt a powerful breath of human monks appear. This breath made him breathless, and he also felt that the space around him seemed to be imprisoned.
The group of monsters surrounding them also felt this powerful aura. This powerful aura made them tremble, and some of the second- and third-level monsters became paralyzed and unable to move.
Immediately, the remaining monsters that were still able to move fled hurriedly towards the depths of the wild forest.
It also made Shao Qingsong feel a little dazed. The monster that was so ferocious just now actually escaped like this.
Then he looked up and saw a figure emerging from the void. This figure impressed him deeply. It was also a high mountain that he looked up to. Perhaps without the encouragement of this figure, he might have stopped in the later stages of Qi training.
…
Jining looked at the ruined town below and the monsters escaping hastily into the distance. His consciousness discovered the densely packed old, young, women and children under the bell tower. He secretly sighed in his heart that if he hadn't appeared in time, the foundation-building monks and the group of old, young, women and children below might have become the prey of the monster.
"Hey" he saw among the several foundation-building monks below, one of whom he had some impression of was the young monk Shao Qingsong, whom he had met several times when he was hiding his cultivation and hiding in Liuyun Sect. However, the boy back then has now become Middle-aged monk.
Jining's body fell on the bell tower. The Liuyun Sect's foundation-building monks who had narrowly escaped death, and the supreme elder Mr. Ji who saw the sect's divine dragon disappearing, all knelt down in excitement.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for coming to the rescue!" Shao Qingsong said excitedly.
Jining moved his hand, and several pills flew into the hands of the injured Foundation Establishment monk. Then he smiled at Shao Qingsong and said, "You and I are old friends, so don't worry about it! These thousands of old, young, women and children are all alive because of your persistence. You I will tell Head Liu Yuan about today’s performance.”
A bottle of elixir flew towards Shao Qingsong, and then said: "Lead these old, young, women and children away quickly, and leave the rest to me!"
Shao Qingsong looked at the elixir in his hand with a look of surprise. He knew that the elixir inside was the Yun Shen Dan. This elixir was the holy medicine for Foundation Establishment monks to break through the golden elixir stage. It's just that the value of Yun Shen Dan is very high and cannot be obtained by ordinary foundation-building monks.
Unexpectedly, the Supreme Elder actually gave him a bottle, which contained seven or eight pills. Shao Qingsong thanked him repeatedly, and then he and other Liuyun Sect monks led the group of old, young, women and children towards Tongcheng.
After Jining saw the flying spiritual weapon disappearing into the void in the distance, he turned around and headed towards the depths of the wild forest.
On the flying spiritual weapon, Shao Qingsong looked into the distance. Next to him, the mid-stage foundation-building monk named Tang Feng asked curiously: "Brother Shao, you actually know Mr. Ji, the Supreme Elder. How come we don't know about it at all?"
After hearing this, Shao Qingsong showed a proud look on his face. He turned to Tang Feng and said, "Back then, the Supreme Elder used to hide his cultivation among the outer disciples. The cave he chose was next door to me..."
As soon as these words came out, several other foundation-building monks showed envy. They knew that the supreme elder, Mr. Ji, had never seen the dragon before it was seen. Even the Jindan elder of Liuyun Sect had rarely seen this supreme elder. .
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Shao, who was still a Qi Practitioner at that time, would become a neighbor of the mysterious Supreme Elder Mr. Ji, so they all came closer to hear what happened.
Shao Qingsong's smile grew wider when he looked at his fellow disciples with incredible expressions on their faces, remembering when he was still an outer disciple...
