Chapter Seventy-One: The Soul of the Ancestors
Looking at Shi Xuan, who suddenly appeared, Lin Zixu asked, "Senior Brother Shi Xuan, have you practiced your arcane **?"
"I've asked a few other alchemists to go to the narrow area ahead with the arcane **, let them prepare first, and be ready to blow up the road at any time as long as they give an order," Shi Xuan said.
At this moment, the High Priest posed a serious threat to several of them, this person was extremely strong, even if a few of their top disciples joined forces, they had no chance, and the gap in strength was too large to be overcome.
Now Lin Zixu and Han Yunyi have been injured a lot, and their combat strength has been greatly damaged, even if Yin Qianxi comes to help, it will be difficult to resist this person.
"In the face of absolute strength, even if you join forces, you have no chance of winning, and now you can die", the high priest looked at the few people in front of him.
"It seems that if you want to stop them, you can only rely on Shi Xuan's senior brother's arcane **, if you continue to fight, our disciples will suffer a lot of casualties?" Yin Qianxi looked at Lin Zixu.
"Zhao Tianhu, a few of us temporarily dragged this old thief and let the disciples retreat first, and we will look for an opportunity to blow up the canyon," Lin Zixu said.
Hearing Lin Zixu's order, Zhao Tianhu issued an order to retreat, and the allied disciples fell into a bitter battle at the moment, and had to limit their evacuation, the opponent's number and equipment were well-equipped, and the casualties were huge if they continued to fight.
Many disciples shook off their opponents and quickly retreated towards the canyon in the rear, and Shi Xuan, Lin Zixu, and the High Priest fought and retreated.
"The warriors of the Aquila chased me and told me that these bastards stayed in this canyon for the sake of the Khan of the Heavenly Heavens," shouted the High Priest.
Countless Sky Eagle warriors continued to chase and kill, and Shi Xuan and the others struggled to stop this great priest, relying on perfect cooperation to barely protect themselves.
"Boy, let you see what the real power is, there are countless warrior spirits of the Aquila clan who died thousands of years ago, let the old man wake them up", looking at the few people who resisted stubbornly, the high priest was ready to awaken the souls of the ancestors here to deal with them.
"This person also knows how to communicate with Yin Spirit, everyone be careful," Lin Zixu said.
"The dry bones and remnants obey the call of the old man, your priest needs you", the high priest said something in his mouth, and an ancient soul bell in his hand began to shake, there have been countless people killed here, at this moment the yin spirits gathered, and many ancient souls who died in battle continued to float towards them from the canyon under his call, many skeletons slowly had souls, and under the call of the high priest, a body with dry bones and remains was killed.
Lin Zixu's faces changed drastically, even if they were tenacious, it was impossible for them to face so many ancient souls and skeleton warriors at the same time.
"Such a strange secret technique, it can actually control the remnant soul, these barbarian shamans are really terrifying", Shi Xuan has also seen the army of the undead, and even started a big battle. Shi Xuan felt that these undead were extremely ancient, and the remnant souls were not very strong, and their strength should not be as good as the army of undead controlled by the Immortal Corpse King encountered in the Great Secret Realm.
"Senior brother, you hold back the old thieves for the time being, these undead are handed over to me to deal with, and my true fire restrains them," Shi Xuan said.
The others nodded, although Shi Xuan's strength was the weakest among them, and he hadn't even reached the Heavenly Vein Realm, but Shi Xuan had played a huge role at critical moments many times, and no one underestimated his existence.
Lin Zixu and Yin Qianxi once again started a difficult battle with the High Priest, and Shi Xuan turned into a fire god at this moment to fight alone against the vast army of undead.
Among these armies of the undead, there were even strong souls of the Southern Empire who had fallen in battle, "It seems that he is a secret method to enslave souls", Shi Xuan discovered some mysteries.
At this moment, his firepower was in full swing, and powerful rings of fire spread from the periphery of his body, countless whispering souls screamed and fled, such a blazing yang fire restrained them obviously, and the other skeleton soldiers killed without fear, Shi Xuan drew his sword and launched a crazy killing, a skeleton was powdered by him, and he could no longer stand up, and the terrifying flames ruthlessly calcined a large area of Yin Spirit.
"Damn boy, I didn't expect your true fire to be so terrifying that even the old man's undead ancient bell can't help you, then try a more powerful undead technique", the high priest found that his army of the dead was blocked by Shi Xuan, he shook the soul bell again, and at this moment, powerful souls were summoned behind him.
These souls make everyone's hearts palpitate, these people must be powerful people in their lifetime, otherwise it is impossible to have such a strong fighting power.
"These souls are the fallen souls of the strong men of our Aquila Clan, and they have been sealed up to the present day through our Clan's secret method, it's time for them to exert their residual heat for the Aquila Clan, hahahaha", the High Priest laughed.
"Senior Sister Han, you can't help here, you go to help Senior Brother Shi Xuan", Lin Zixu said to Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi also knew that the High Priest was extremely powerful, and her continued presence would only hinder her brother's performance, so she no longer hesitated to run over to help Shi Xuan.
"These Yin Spirits are afraid of your light, you block it for me for a while, and I will deal with these ancient souls", Shi Xuan stared at the ancient souls that had been killed, these sealed souls and their integrity were different from those summoned souls.
Four powerful souls surrounded Shi Xuan and began to besiege and kill, while Han Yunxi used a large piece of spiritual light to resist the other Yin Spirits who had been killed.
The four souls fought towards Shi Xuan, and one after another strong spiritual energy training launched a merciless blow to Shi Xuan, they still kept some memories in front of them, and were even able to use some spiritual skills, which gave Shi Xuan a headache, if these people hadn't died for a long time and forgotten that many spiritual skills in life lacked the support of the physical body, Shi Xuan would have been defeated long ago.
He struggled to fend off the attacks of the four souls, and it was difficult for his Burning Sun Meteor Technique to calcine such a strong soul even with an eightfold bonus.
"Boy, these four souls were powerhouses of the Heavenly Spirit Realm in their lifetimes, and your faint flame is a joke in front of them," the High Priest sneered.
"Damn, a soul that is not even afraid of true fire will release powerful spiritual skills, fortunately you won't attack in close combat", Shi Xuan felt bitter in his heart.
Lin Zixu and Yin Qianxi unleashed a terrifying sword qi to kill the high priest, but the high priest summoned countless bone shields to resist their sword qi, and the terrifying wind and thunder spiritualism was extremely powerful, and the three of them all suffered a lot.
"Give up resistance, you are proud enough to hold out for so long", the High Priest sneered as he looked at the three people who had been knocked away by him.
"We've been delaying long enough, and we've given an order for Zhao Tianhu to look for an opportunity to blow up the road, and we must not let them catch up with the transport troops, and we have to stop them even if the jade is burned today," Lin Zixu said.
Yin Qianxi took out an arrow and shot it and exploded in the air.
"What, senior brother, they gave the order to blow up the road?" several alchemists in ambush saw the order.
"Senior Brother Zhao, once the road is blown up, how can several senior brothers escape?" someone asked.
"It seems that the only way to notify Uncle Li Dufeng is to come to the rescue, carry out the order, I will go to find Uncle Li", Zhao Tianhu looked at the already quite a few Sky Eagle troops coming over.
"Let's do it, Uncle Li will figure it out" Several alchemists instantly detonated the arcane ** that had been buried here before.
The terrifying explosion shook the canyon, and many birds and beasts were scared away, and many Aquila warriors were frightened.
The terrifying power directly broke the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon, countless rolling stones fell, the entire canyon was directly blocked by the fallen mountain, and the boulders rolled down Many warriors of the Sky Eagle Clan were buried by the rolling stones, and the follow-up troops were all blocked behind.
The Sky Eagle Warriors who had already rushed over were all strangled by the allied spirit masters, and Zhao Tianhu quickly rushed to the front to find Li Dufeng's support.
The other spirit masters looked helplessly at the blown canyon, and it was hard for them to imagine how the few senior brothers who were under siege could get out of trouble.
At this moment, the battle between the two sides was in full swing, and the huge explosion attracted everyone's attention, "What's going on, what's going on ahead?" roared the High Priest.
"Report to the High Priest, the canyon ahead has been blown up by their men, and the huge rolling stones have completely cut off the road ahead, and we have no way out", replied one of the shamans.
"You deserve to die, the old man has paid such a huge price, and he has gained nothing, and you will be punished by our gods for your actions", the high priest became angry.
"How does it feel to have an empty bamboo basket, old horseman?" Lin Zixu sneered.
"Even so, tear apart your little ghosts and dig out your hearts, so as to relieve the hatred in the old man's heart, otherwise the old man will have the face to go back and meet our khan", the high priest made a more ruthless move, and the three of them were difficult to resist.
Han Yunxi's little girl's light spirit skill is not as obvious as Shi Xuan's restraint on the yin spirit, and it is also full of dangers at this moment, and the confrontation is difficult, and the five of them are in a huge crisis.
Shi Xuan was beaten by four souls at this moment, if it weren't for his amazing defense, he would have died in battle, his melee attack had no effect on the soul, and his true fire could only hinder it for a moment, making it difficult to cause real damage. Shi Xuan could only passively defend against their attacks.
"At this moment, I finally understand what happened to Senior Brother Shadow Moon Valley, he was also besieged like today, and finally exhausted and captured, it seems that the sky is going to die, I wait", Lin Zixu felt desperate.
"Even if we die, we can fight side by side, we have no regrets about dying for the just cause in our hearts, this is the end of every one of our mainland rangers, life is endless, and the fight is endless", Han Yunyi was ready to die in battle.
"Brother Han is right, although I am still honoring to die for the cause of justice, it is not in vain for me Yin Qianxi to die with everyone", Yin Qianxi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up again with difficulty.
"Perhaps, we don't have to die, it's him who should be damned", Shi Xuan completely exploded at this moment, he almost completely exploded his full potential at this moment, and completely stimulated the power of his soul.
"Old horseman, do you think that only you will enslave the soul?My soul power is not weaker than yours, I want to compare with you", the others suddenly discovered that Shi Xuan, who had been beaten before, had actually controlled four powerful souls.
"This, Senior Brother Shi Xuan actually knows how to conjure spirits?" Yin Qianxi said.
"I'm just up to the point where his soul enslaving technique is simple and rude, and his technique is far from the Immortal Corpse King I once encountered in the Great Secret Realm, you should enjoy the power of the soul", Shi Xuan's huge soul phantom slammed into the high priest quickly, his body trembled instantly, and the soul conjuring bell in his hand fell to the ground.
The countless undead who were controlled by him were instantly free, and they were no longer attacking Han Yunxi.
"Now it's my turn", Shi Xuan's flame shackles suddenly picked up the soul bell that fell to the ground, and he used his powerful soul to successfully imitate his soul conjuring, instantly controlling a large number of undead to kill the high priest.
At this moment, the High Priest's soul was severely damaged by Shi Xuan, and it was difficult for him to cast the Spiritualist Technique again, "No, I am the High Priest of the Eagle Clan, you can't attack me", the High Priest watched in horror as countless armies of the dead came towards him.
"It's really karma, you can also enjoy these Yin Spirit Methods", Shi Xuan continued to shake the Soul Bell, and countless souls slaughtered the vast Heavenly Eagle army under his control, and at this moment the canyon was wailing all over the field, and the terrifying Yin Spirit was raging.
"Let's kill this old immortal together", Lin Zixu watched as the high priest summoned a huge sky eagle totem to stubbornly resist the attack of the yin spirit, and several people attacked the high priest with a large amount of sword qi.
At this moment, in the canyon, the Sky Eagle Warriors and countless Yin Spirits started a big battle, and they were in chaos.
The two figures in the distant sky flew in with the Divine Rainbow, it was Li Dufeng and the Ranger Commander, the two of them received Zhao Tianhu's request for help, and had to leave the transport team to come to the rescue.
Seeing the Yin Spirit raging, both of them took a breath, "Uncle Shi hurry up and kill this person, he is about to be unable to hold on", Lin Zixu saw the reinforcements that came over.
"I'll leave it to me here, a few teachers and nephews will push it away for the time being", Li Dufeng held the wind and clouds in the sky with both hands, the black clouds were low, the wind was raging, and the huge blue lightning swept across the sky and smashed the high priest's body, and he let out a painful wail.
The Ranger also struck and slashed him several times, his bone shield defense was instantly broken, and many Yin Spirits instantly submerged him, and finally died tragically.
At this time, Shi Xuan's aura was almost exhausted, and his strong outburst almost drained his aura, and as his soul recovered, many yin spirits returned to no owner again, floating everywhere in the canyon.
Shi Xuan fell to the ground, with a splitting headache, this was due to the huge loss of soul, and at this moment, a bloodthirsty desire came to his heart again, "Damn Nightmare King, do you still want to take advantage of the opportunity to enter?", Shi Xuan struggled to resist the nightmare awakening in his body, and every time his soul was frustrated, the Nightmare King would seize the opportunity to completely control him.
"What's wrong with you, Shi Xuan?", Han Yunxi on the side helped Shi Xuan who fell to the ground.
"Senior Sister Han get out of the way, I'm about to lose control", Shi Xuan pushed Han Yunxi away, his eyes sometimes turned crimson, sometimes black.
"Senior Brother Shi Xuan, you must hold on, you have reached a critical moment, as long as you get through this level, the Nightmare King will never be able to help you in the future." Lin Zixu said.
Han Yunxi ran over again to straighten him, and she summoned her aura to pass on her aura to him.
Shi Xuan was in this place full of heroic spirits at this moment, and the evil aura here was extremely heavy, and it was very easy to guide the awakening of the Nightmare King.
"Senior Sister Han, using your light curtain enchantment to get rid of the evil qi will help him," Yin Qianxi said as he looked at the raging canyon.
Han Yunxi instantly summoned a light curtain to isolate them, and the evil qi could no longer continue to erode Shi Xuan, and as Shi Xuan's soul power recovered, his eyes became clear again.
Seeing that Shi Xuan had successfully suppressed the nightmare in his body, everyone took a breath, Senior Brother Jiang Yuheng had already been deeply persecuted by Gu Poison, and they couldn't let Shi Xuan fall anymore.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Han", Shi Xuan's pale face was covered with beads of sweat, he looked at Han Yunxi, who was almost exhausted, and sincerely thanked her for helping him.
"It's okay if you're fine, I'll just take a break," Han Yunxi said.
"Uncle Shi, now that the road has been blown up, they don't want to cross the Sky Eagle Canyon," Lin Zixu said.
"Now that the High Priest is dead, we are powerless to fight against the remaining Aquila barbarians, so let's leave as soon as possible", the Ranger Commander looked at the vast number of Aquila barbarians.
Li Dufeng and the Ranger Commander pulled the five of them to control the Divine Rainbow over the Sky Eagle Canyon and rushed towards the south.
Shi Xuan watched the crowd under his feet in a mess, the huge chaos of stones crushed a large number of Sky Eagle Clan warriors, they wanted to open the way, but to no avail.
In the distance, the Allied Spirit Master was heading towards the convoy in the distance.
"You see, it's Senior Brother, they're back," the spirit masters said happily as they looked at the few people flying overhead.
"I'll just say that senior brothers are superb, how can they die so easily", someone said happily.
Crossing the Aquila Mountains, everyone met again, they repaired the camp well, this time the barbarians besieged, they also suffered heavy losses, and the cutting-edge combat power was almost seriously injured.
Dai Mengli has been busy everywhere lately, and she and the elixir master in the team have been busy healing their injured brothers everywhere. Previously, he had been taking care of Jiang Yuheng, who had been poisoned by Gu poison in the transportation team, and she saw that many of her brothers and sisters were seriously injured, and she also imagined the intensity of the battle.
In the cold winter snowflakes, the camp has been filled with thick snow, many people are busy cleaning up the snow, Shi Xuan after two days of cultivation, although the aura has recovered a lot, but the soul is very weak at the moment, the soul of the high priest is also very strong, in order to suppress the opponent this time, he completely disregarded his own damage, although the soul of the high priest was severely damaged, but he also suffered huge damage, and overloaded to control the undead battle, this time he injured the soul source, almost caused the long-standing nightmare king to awaken, and the danger was extreme。
Shi Xuan was now working on Disillusionment Wuji every day to repair his soul wounds, and there were still many hardships and dangers on the way ahead, and he had to recover as soon as possible.
Although Lin Zixu, the Han brothers and sisters, and Yin Qianxi were seriously injured, they were physical injuries, as long as they took the pill and recuperated in a few days, they could recover, but Shi Xuan's soul would take a long time to recover.
In the tent, everyone was discussing the next thing, "We have to transport these spirit ores out as soon as possible, now that the Danyang Empire must have known about the affairs of Beicang, they estimate that there will be a big move, our time is very urgent, the refining of so many ores can not be completed in a few days, if the Danyang Empire starts a war in advance, everything we have done will be in vain", Li Dufeng said with a solemn face.
"Uncle Li, the reinforcements from the sect should arrive soon, and the remaining roads should be able to reach safely, I have informed the basic situation here of the sect, and they are also urging the four empires to urgently recruit alchemists to start refining arcane arts**", Lin Zixu said.
"I'm still worried that the empire will find a way to enter Beicang again, and they will definitely not swallow this breath if they suffer such a huge loss", Li Dufeng considered.
"For now, let's escort these ores back first, and let Dai Zhangjiao decide," said the Ranger Commander.
After resting, in the vast snow, the Allied convoy marched southward, and the troops were divided into four routes and advanced towards the four empires one after another.
Just after Shi Xuan and the others passed through the Goshawk Mountain Range, Yao Jingcheng, the shadow tiger of the Danyang Empire, had already arrived in Danyang City to meet Jiang Bingkun.
In the palace, Jiang Bingkun listened to Yao Jingcheng's report with a solemn face, he was angry enough to receive that the transport team was robbed by the barbarians, but he didn't expect that the well-guarded mine was also robbed by the allies, which made him extremely uneasy.
"Yao Jingcheng, you have also followed me for thirty years, you should know that I have never given up my desire to dominate the continent in the past thirty years, but you have betrayed my trust, such an important mine was lost in your hands, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, are you guilty?" Jiang Bingkun clenched his fists and said.
"Yao Jingcheng has failed the cultivation of His Majesty the Emperor, I know that the death penalty is inevitable, but I still ask Your Majesty to give me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I am not convinced of this battle", Yao Jingcheng said.
"Beicang is now on the cusp of the storm, even the Moon Worship Sect in the Star Picking Mountain has heard of it, and I don't know how many flies it will attract when an egg is broken, how do you clean up the mess?" Jiang Bingkun asked.
"I'm going to send all the Shadow Tiger Spirit Master troops to Beicang again, those barbarians don't have to be afraid, as long as we resist the Spirit Masters of Tianhua Sect and Divine Sword Valley, we can still operate there", Yao Jingcheng wanted revenge.
"I'll give you 200,000 troops, your Shadow Tiger Spirit Master troops are all at your disposal, I want to see a steady stream of spirit saltpeter transported to the empire, next time I don't want to hear any excuses for failure, do you know how to do it?" Jiang Bingkun said.
"If I fail again, I don't need Your Majesty to hold me accountable," Yao Jingcheng said.
"Now forget about this season, the Beicang under the cold winter is like a natural barrier for the Southern Empire, and when spring comes, I want you to wave the Northern Expedition to completely control the lifeline of the Northern Cang, and now the empire has stored a large amount of spiritual saltpeter, you should supervise them to refine it during this time, and there can be no more mistakes", Jiang Bingkun said.
"Yes", Yao Jingcheng stepped back.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect those barbarian tribes to dare to meddle in our things, do you want to teach them some lessons?" asked Prime Minister Wei Wuji.
"If they dare to strike again, we will organize the Central Garrison to crusade against them, so that they can understand that this is no longer the world of Mengtian Khan, and that there is only one way to die if they dare to oppose us," Jiang Bingkun said.
"So will the four fronts continue to go on the offensive?"
"Although there is a certain advantage in starting now, but our sergeants have suffered huge losses in the past year, let's wait for the next batch of arcane ** refining to be completed, as long as we hoard enough arcane **, the four empires will collapse in an instant, and what we are planning now is to take action against the Divine Sword Valley and Tianhua Sect", Jiang Bingkun could no longer tolerate their existence.
