Xiang Zhixing looked at Shi Jingming's back and fell into deep thought.

"Could it be that the sect master has other arrangements? However, even if you want to strengthen the defense of the Xuanyao Stone Mine, you shouldn't go to the Shensigh Gorge stronghold...... However, the absolute strength is insufficient, and establishing a scattered defense line like this will only further disperse the power of the sect, so it is better to concentrate on the Xuanyao Stone Mine here......

Xiang Zhixing thought for a while, but he couldn't think of why, Shi Jingming's figure had already disappeared outside the cave.

"Someone!" he snorted.

Immediately, a guard guarding the side hurriedly trotted over, clasped his fists and saluted, "What do the elders command?"

"Immediately send the order, and from now on, the alert level of the Xuanyao Stone Mine will be raised to the highest level, and the protective array will be opened immediately. Xiang Zhixing ordered.

"Yes!" the guard agreed, and hurried away.

......

On the avenue a hundred miles away from the Xuanyao Stone Mine, the figures of Tang Chen and the four first-order star gods appeared here.

"Elder Chen, more than a hundred miles further forward is the Xuanyao Stone Mine, if you don't want Elder Xiang to know, then you can only go here, otherwise you will be discovered. A star god reminded.

"A hundred miles away, a little far......" Tang Chen replied.

After a pause, he turned to ask, "Don't you have a means to isolate soul sense detection, such as isolating spirit runes or something. ”

The four star gods glanced at each other, a flash of embarrassment flashed on their faces, and one of them replied: "This, we don't have it, the isolation spirit rune is a god-grade spirit rune, with my previous star saint-level strength, I don't need such a high-level thing, so ......"

"Oh......"

Tang Chen suddenly, this star god said a little tactfully, in fact, he just can't afford to use such a good thing, as an elder-level figure of the sect, he doesn't even have an isolation spirit rune, it can be seen that the background of the Qingliu Sect is indeed not good, at least the financial resources are not good.

"I have just a few here, so I'll give them to you. ”

Tang Chen casually took out a few isolation charms and distributed them to the four of them.

These are all refined by himself before, although they are genuine god-grade spirit runes, but for him, the cost is extremely low, to put it mildly, it is just a few small pieces of Star Beast's skin plus a little essence blood, and he can refine thousands of them casually.

Seeing that "Elder Chen" did not hesitate to send out four god-grade spirit runes, the four star gods couldn't help but be secretly moved.

Immediately, the four of them activated the isolation spirit rune, and followed Tang Chen to continue to gallop towards the Xuanyao Stone Mine.

More than half an hour later, their group arrived at the periphery of the Xuanyao Stone Mine.

Tang Chen glanced at the mountains where the Xuanyao Stone Mine was located in front of him, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and said, "You guys find a place to hide, it is estimated that the team of the Tiger Sect will be able to arrive here in less than an hour, so as not to be discovered by them." ”

"Elder Chen, don't worry, we have the Isolation Spirit Rune in our hands, unless they have a powerhouse above the mid-level Star God, it is impossible to find us. One of them replied.

Tang Chen glanced at this person and said, "This matter is related to the survival of this sect, we must not be careless, although we have the Isolation Spirit Rune, but we can't guarantee that they will definitely not have the means to break the Isolation Spirit Rune, everything is better to be careful."

When using the Isolation Rune, it works best when you stay in place, and I suggest that you find a place to lurk and stay still before you act, so that even if the other party has a way to crack the Isolation Rune, it is very unlikely that they will find you. ”

The four Star Gods did have the heart to despise the enemy, and after listening to Tang Chen's words, they couldn't help but feel ashamed, and one of them said, "Elder Chen is right, we must be careful! By the way, Elder Chen, aren't you with us?"

Tang Chen bowed slightly, and said, "I'll go and check the protective array of the Xuanyao Stone Mine, and strengthen it by the way, otherwise, it will be very difficult to trap those people from the Overlord Sect."

A few of you, the main task is to prevent the people of the Tiger Sect from escaping, and I will contact you when the time comes, understand?"

The four of them glanced at each other, and then replied in unison, "Understood." ”

They were still very confident in the task that Tang Chen had assigned, the people sent by the Tiger Sect this time were only three first-order star gods, and there were four of them, and there was also a protective array of Xuanyao Stone Mine to help trap most of the people, if this could not stop the few people who escaped, it would be too incompetent.

......

The stronghold of the Divine Sigh Gorge.

Just after Tang Chen and the five of them left for a long time, another team of men and horses rushed into the Divine Sigh Gorge from the territory of the Overlord Sect.

This team of men and horses is led by two first-order star gods, there are twenty peak star saints and two hundred high-level star saints, they are the receiving team sent by the Overlord Sect, in order to prevent the vanguard team from attacking the Xuanyao Stone Mine is unfavorable, they can respond from the back, which can be said to be offensive and retreating.

The two star gods are Mu Kai, the master of the Qinghu Gate of the Bahu Sect, and Ma Yi, the master of the Xuanhu Gate.

"This stronghold is empty, and it seems that it has been cleared by Taishi Yan and them. Mu Kai said.

Ma Yi frowned slightly, carefully examined the entire base with his soul sense, and said: "There is no trace of a fight here, it is likely that the people of the Qingliu Sect fled as soon as they saw it, and Tai Shiyan was bent on attacking the Xuanyao Stone Mine, so he should not have pursued those deserters." ”

Mu Kai's eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said with a dry smile: "It's still the master of Mamen who is delicate...... This is the choke point leading to my Tiger Sect's territory, so why don't we stay here for the time being?"

"Yes. Ma Yi replied, that slightly arrogant tone made Mu Kai very unhappy.

Immediately, this group of people from the Tiger Sect quickly took over this stronghold, and they even used the array disk they carried with them to set up a high-level saint-grade spirit array.

On a hill a hundred miles away from the stronghold, Great Elder Zhou Qitai led more than a hundred first-order star gods to lurk here, and they all felt a little unhappy when they watched the people of the Overlord Sect occupying the stronghold of the Divine Sigh Gorge.

"Great Elder, what should we do now, just let them occupy the stronghold of Shensigh Gorge?" someone asked Zhou Qitai.

Zhou Qitai clenched his fists vigorously, they now had more than a hundred star gods, and they could easily wipe out the team of the Tiger Sect in front of them, but he remembered the advice of "Elder Chen" before leaving: no matter what happened, they should not show their faces.

And so on. Zhou Qitai replied.

"Wait, wait for what? We have more than a hundred star gods, we can easily exterminate them, what is there to worry about?" the man questioned.

Zhou Qitai frowned and glanced at this person, and said in a deep voice: "Wait, naturally there is a reason to wait." It's wartime, so you just have to obey orders. ”
