Chapter 169: Investigation

After Yang Laozu of Hongshan Sect made up his mind, he decided to fight the lion and the rabbit, and use the greatest strength of Hongshan Sect to capture Chaoyin Mountain, and it was best to kill a few Purple Mansion monks of Qingxuanzong to weaken this increasingly powerful enemy. In addition to leaving behind the four Purple Mansion monks who had to guard the mountain gate, he sent almost all the high-ranking monks in the sect.

Even he himself walked around on his own, and if the situation was unfavorable, he was ready to kill people himself.

Soon, the seven Purple Mansion monks of the Hongshan Sect came to the frontier stronghold of Qingliang Mountain under the leadership of Mu Huaishan.

Mu Huaishan summoned the Zhuji monks of Jiangkou County and asked directly, "Your manpower, have you found out the exact news of Chaoyin Mountain?" ”

"Back to Senior Mu, the garrison of Chaoyin Mountain is very tight, as long as it is a stranger who is close, it will be killed and detained by the monks stationed on the mountain, although we have sent a lot of people, but none of them can send the news back." Xiao Hongxuan, the head of the Xiao family, said.

Recently, the matter of inquiring about intelligence was handed over to Xiao Hongxuan for arrangement, in order to avoid too much loss, and in order to avoid the vigilance of the monks of Chaoyin Mountain, Xiao Hongxuan did not personally dispatch during this time, but sent a large number of low-level monks to try to approach Chaoyin Mountain.

Unfortunately, the progress was not smooth, although he successively sent seven or eight Qi Cultivators to the vicinity of Chaoyin Mountain, but as soon as these Qi Cultivators approached Chaoyin Mountain, they soon disappeared without a trace.

All Xiao Hongxuan could do, except for confirming that there was a powerful large array in Chaoyin Mountain, barely heard any useful information, but instead alarmed the monks stationed on the mountain.

When Mu Huaishan heard Xiao Hongxuan's nonsense, his face turned angry and he scolded: "I asked you to find out the information, not to let you startle the snake." ”

Knowing that Xiao Hongxuan didn't dare to venture to Chaoyin Mountain, although Mu Huaishan was unhappy, he also knew clearly that even if Xiao Hongxuan personally took action, it would end up like those Qi cultivators, and it was impossible to investigate the big array of Chaoyin Mountain clearly.

Mu Huaishan turned his head and said to an old man with a simple appearance: "Senior Brother He, these vassal Zhuji families are probably useless, it seems that if we want to explore the reality of Chaoyin Mountain, we still have to do it ourselves." ”

This simple old man is the leader of the seven purple mansion monks of the Hongshan Sect, this person is wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, and the crown belt on his head also looks a little old, his face is clear, faintly showing a lot of wrinkles, revealing a trace of old age, and it looks like he has lived for a short time.

This person's name is He Zhenze, and he is the oldest Purple Mansion monk in the Hongshan Sect, and now he is over four hundred years old, and he has cultivated to the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion, no less than the Black Mountain Liang Ancestor.

At this age, He Zhenze's longevity is not much, but for the sake of the future of Hongshan Sect, this person still took the initiative to invite Ying to preside over the overall situation of this battle.

"Senior Brother Huaishan, do you think Chaoyin Mountain will be a trap?" He Zhen is more than four hundred years old, and he has seen a lot of deception that immortal cultivators have seen, and his personality is very calm, and if he doesn't figure out the situation in Chaoyin Mountain, he won't make a move easily.

Mu Huaishan has been analyzing the situation in Chaoyin Mountain for a long time, and when he heard He Zhenze's question, he immediately said his thoughts.

"Judging from the information we have obtained now, a small spirit stone mine should have been found here, so Qingxuanzong will let the five local Zhuji families get a piece of the pie. Depending on the situation, on Chaoyin Mountain, the fourth-order spiritual vein should have been cultivated and the fourth-order formation should have been arranged. To do this well in a short period of time, there must be more than three Purple Mansion cultivators on the mountain, and among them there is also a fourth-order array mage. ”

He Zhen nodded silently and said, "Since Chaoyin Mountain is ready, there must be a lot of monks guarding on the mountain. And if we want to cross the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, it is impossible to send a large number of people to attack Chaoyin Mountain, otherwise it will consume a lot of spiritual rice along the road, and this kind of long-term war of attrition will be very disadvantageous for us.

Therefore, this time to take Chaoyin Mountain, I can only try to mobilize the monks who have achieved cultivation. ”

"Senior Brother He is right, it's too late for us to get the news, here in Chaoyin Mountain, Qingxuanzong has already taken the lead. They have arranged a fourth-order formation, leaving only one Purple Mansion monk, and with the low-level monks stationed there, they can contain the three of us. Now that the grass has been startled, the monks of Qingxuanzong must have taken precautions, and if they don't figure out the reality of Chaoyin Mountain, I think it's better not to do it lightly. ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged Taoist girl in her forties and fifties. This person is also the elder of the Purple Mansion of the Hongshan Sect, named Dong Hongyu, who has cultivated to the fourth level of the Purple Mansion, and is the only female cultivator among the seven Purple Mansions who took action this time.

"Since we want to explore the truth and the truth, it is better for the seven of us to act together and break through the fourth-order formation on Chaoyin Mountain, so that we can take care of each other, so as not to be broken by the Qingxuan Sect monks." He Zhen is the head of seven people, and it is impossible to take it by surprise, so he is ready to let the seven Purple Mansion monks explore the reality of Chaoyin Mountain first.

He Zhenze's seven people were all monks who had opened up the Purple Mansion, and their flight speed was already very fast, and in just one day, they had crossed the Broken Cloud Mountain Range and came to the vicinity of Chaoyin Mountain.

At this time, hundreds of miles near Chaoyin Mountain had been wrapped in a large area of dense fog, and even the five mortal towns near Chaoyin Mountain were tightly protected by the dense fog.

"Senior Brother Xue, how is the situation?" He Zhen looked at the large array below and asked the fourth-order array mage beside him.

In order to take the spirit stone mine of Chaoyin Mountain, the Hongshan Sect can be regarded as pouring out, in addition to the high-level monks stationed at the mountain gate, even the fourth-order array mages of the sect also took action in person.

Xue Chengyun flew around Chaoyin Mountain a few times, frowned and said: "It's the Jiuding Formation, this kind of formation is very troublesome, there is no clever way to break the formation, you can only use stupid kung fu to break the formation." As long as you take down three formations, you can break through this large array.

I don't know how many Purple Mansion monks from Qingxuanzong came, if it is less than five, we will be sure to break the formation, if it is more than five, we rush into the formation, I am afraid there will be a loss. ”

"Let's not be busy attacking the big array first, why don't we act separately, take down the vassals of Taicheng County first, and see if the Purple Mansion monks in the big array are divided into troops." He Zhen said with a cold smile.

The seven Purple Mansions of the Hongshan Sect looked at each other and smiled, and successively separated in the direction of the five major families, in order to avoid being scattered and being broken by each of them and damaging the Purple Mansion monks, they were actually all bluffing, and they were very close to each other.

Once attacked, the seven Purple Mansion monks would be able to quickly respond to each other.

As soon as the seven Purple Mansion monks of the Hongshan Sect left, a wolf smoke rose from Chaoyin Mountain, and immediately after, three sword lights flew out from Chaoyin Mountain.

The three sword lights followed the Hongshan Sect monk and quickly disappeared without a trace.
