In the afternoon, the mountains and forests were cold and gray, the sky was piled up with light gray clouds, the raindrops were ticking, and a few dull thunders sounded from time to time in the clouds, and this year's winter was almost over.

The mountains and forests are wet, and the black dry branches are wet by the rain, and the gray is a little heavier, but there is also a small tender green hidden in the branches, and the mountain forests that have been silent for a winter are pregnant with vitality.

Stomp and tread

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the rain, and several soldiers in black armor galloped through the forest, their hooves flying, splashing muddy water.

Soon, the black city wall came into view, the wall had collapsed, and the huge broken stones were piled together, looking more and more dark and old in the rain, and farther away, a seven-story building hazy in the rain.

The sound of horses' hooves soon alarmed the soldiers stationed in the city

"Coming Stops"

A group of black-armored sergeants suddenly jumped up to the top of the city, shouting loudly, squinting at the knights who were rushing in the distance

But the knight in the rain curtain still rushed towards the city wall at high speed as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Sonorous

The patrol soldiers looked vigilant and drew their long knives at once

The general defending the city had a serious expression, and those knights were wearing black armor, and it was very likely that they were comrades of the Pavilion Army.

Qingyu Pavilion is in the mountains, and the materials are extremely scarce, and yesterday the pavilion urgently sent dozens of people, and these people are likely to be messengers who came back to restore their lives, but he couldn't understand why these people didn't slow down when they arrived at the door of Qingyu Pavilion.

The knight got closer and closer, and when everyone saw the red order flag planted behind the soldier, their faces changed suddenly.

"It's a first-class military intelligence, hurry up and open the door"

The generals and their soldiers jumped off the city wall, and the makeshift black iron gates slowly opened to both sides.

The captain and soldiers guarding the city had just opened the gate, but found that the leading knight had not entered the door at all, but had instead rushed straight towards the black stone wall on the side.

"Be careful" The face of the defender of the city changed, and he immediately shouted

Sigh the law

When the horses saw the wall, they neighed in fright, and their front hooves were raised high, and the knight on the horse fell down with a thud and smashed into the muddy water.

Several horses in the rear also stopped abruptly in fright, and the few knights on their backs were not spared, and all of them slipped off their saddles and fell in front of the city gate.

"Hurry up" Captain Captain's face changed, and he immediately rushed towards the black-armored figure on the ground

The general defending the city turned the figure over, and his face suddenly changed

"Captain You, what the hell is going on?"

The leading knight has the same military rank as him, but he is a master of the inner family of the sixth layer of condensation, and his strength is far superior to his own, and now this person is actually unconscious.

"Urgent...... Cabinet Lord's Urgent Report"

Stimulated by the cold rain, Captain You seemed to finally regain some consciousness, and he tugged at the black ribbon on his shoulder

When

The black cloth burden suddenly loosened, and a palm-wide square sandalwood box fell, and a white ball rolled into the muddy water.

Captain You suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the hand that had just been raised suddenly fell, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.

It seemed that there was a chain reaction, and several other soldiers also spurted out a mouthful of blood in unison, and their faces suddenly turned like gold paper.

Red blood fell to the ground, and countless transparent and illusory white tiny larvae writhed inside.

"Quick, save people"

When the general defending the city saw those white insects, his face changed wildly, and he suddenly roared.

There was a great chaos in front of the city gates

............

On the second floor of the Qingyu Pavilion, Ye Cheng Meng Yuan and the five old men were all gathered in front of the white magic beads, with serious expressions.

The white magic bead was placed on the table, and the golden internal qi surged out of Meng Yuan's body, and the surface of the bead lit up with patterns, and a white light curtain suddenly projected out.

The picture in the light curtain flows, and a team of soldiers is exploring the edge of a dry forest

Suddenly, a red mist of blood suddenly rose from the depths of the forest.

"Not good, go back"

A frightened scream rang out from within the orb, but the blood mist was indeed extremely fast, enveloping the soldiers in the picture almost instantly.

The screen quickly reverses backwards, then freezes again

The original mountain forest has disappeared, replaced by a rolling red blood mist, transparent human faces looming in the blood mist, staring at the ball of hair, a gurgling sound of swallowing sounded in the blood mist.

The picture zoomed out, and the whole picture in the distance was finally revealed

The red blood mist was pervasive, not only the mountains and forests, but also the sky was full of red light and blood mist, and the tumbling mist was lined up to the left and right, and there seemed to be a giant wall of red light between heaven and earth that could not see the boundary

Countless beast bones were piled up around the Blood Mist Giant Wall, and the corpses of various beasts were scattered everywhere, looking extremely eerie and terrifying.

Reggie held the wet letter paper in his hand, and his face was extremely ugly

"It has been determined, the location is one hundred miles west of Huanglong Daze, and the red mist covers a radius of fifty miles"

"Fifty miles!? impossible"

Bai Lao exclaimed in surprise, the red blood mist was obviously formed by a magic circle, a magic circle covering fifty miles, what level did it have to be, and the pavilion protection array of the General Pavilion only covered thirty miles

"And just now the doctor in the cabinet examined, those soldiers are blood worms in their bodies, this blood worm will have to die at least 100,000 living beings to be born because of the resentment of living beings, and the beasts of the Black Abyss have already sacrificed at least 100,000 people in blood" Reggie said in a trembling voice

He clutched the letter in his hand, his eyes instantly blood-red, but there was a deep fear hidden in his eyes.

"Blood sacrifice?"

Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he instantly remembered the constant disappearances in the Northland, originally thought that it was just a simple Black Abyss invasion, but now that he connected with the matter of Ziyangxi and the others being trapped, it was almost certain that this was a premeditated plan.

It's just that Hei Yuan didn't hesitate to sacrifice 100,000 people to provoke the Xuanling Sect, just to kill a few Tianyuan?

Ye Cheng frowned slightly, Hei Yuan's actions were too weird, he knew very little information, and he couldn't see the current situation clearly

Ye Cheng glanced at the overwhelming red blood mist in the curtain, took a deep breath, and said coldly

"Lei Lao, open the communication circle and notify the general cabinet"

Meng Yuan let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that Ye Cheng had finally listened to his words

"I'll get ready right away, but I might not be able to do it until tomorrow morning," Reggie looked a little gloomy

"What's going on"

Ye Cheng's brows furrowed, the blood-colored fragments in the forest had been identified by the pavilion, and it had been determined that it was the unique blood-patterned stone of the Black Abyss, and the effect was to hinder the transmission of the magic bead from receiving information.

Hei Yuan's gang didn't know when they stepped down the Blood Pattern Stone outside the Qingyu Pavilion, so the information they received in the end would be incomplete, and what was even more serious was that Ziyangxi and the others were very likely to have been trapped in the formation a long time ago

"Yesterday, the black abyss attacked, the main building was attacked by the black tiger ghost cultivator, and the communication circle was also shocked, and it can't be activated for the time being, but there is a spare formation base module in the pavilion, and it should be able to return to normal tomorrow morning."

"Put away the message sent back by the Purple Pavilion Lord and today's photo beads, and then write the situation in the pavilion into a palace report, and present it to the general pavilion tomorrow."

"The old man knows," Reggie said softly

Ye Cheng walked out first after giving the order, the communication circle was damaged, no matter how urgent it was, Meng Yuan's eyes flashed, and he also followed Ye Cheng out.

"What an eventful time"

Reggie looked up at the heavy rain curtain outside the door, and sighed lightly, several old men were also heavy-hearted, a big battle, so that Bingyang's martial artists were killed and injured, if it wasn't for Ye Cheng's final breakthrough, Qingyu Pavilion might even have been directly destroyed.

"Let's go down and prepare, we must repair the transmission circle by tomorrow morning, we can't delay it any longer"

Reggie said in a deep voice, and several old men shook their heads and went out to prepare

............

As twilight fell, the collapsed walls became more and more desolate in the night, the protective formation of the main building had been closed, and the seven-story high-rise building stood quietly in the freezing rain, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, with the occasional bird or two calling through the murmuring rain curtain, but soon only the sound of the rain remained.

Meng Yuan walked into the room on the second floor of the main building, and a figure was already waiting inside.

In a big battle in the Qingyu Pavilion, the warriors in the pavilion suffered heavy casualties, even the warriors of the Transformation Realm also died three or four, more than two hundred condensing warriors, and in the end, there were only seventy or eighty people left, and the courtyard in the pavilion was destroyed, and these people were temporarily arranged in the main building to recuperate.

"Old Qin, how is it" Meng Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in red who stood up

Qin Boyun raised the cloth in his hand, and the long cloth was full of upright names, and each name was also stamped with a big red seal

"The trend of the times, almost everyone has signed, only a few old stubborns are still dead"

Qin Boyun chuckled, but then his brows furrowed slightly

"It's just that although we are acting in private, I'm afraid Lu Wanjian and they have already received the news."

Meng Yuan's eyes narrowed and he waved his hand

"Leave him alone, what if you know, the general trend will be decided as soon as tomorrow passes"

He glanced at the dozens of names on the cloth, and the red seal next to the name was engraved with various positions such as the foreign envoy, internal envoy, and inspection envoy of Bingyang Mansion.

"Almost everybody signed it, and that's the general trend, and the general trend...... It's in our hands."

His gaze crossed over the name on the cloth again, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

The cloth should be carefully designed, the gap distance between each name stamp is the same, and dozens of names actually cover the one-meter-long cloth.

There are five empty spaces at the top of the cloth, and once these five positions are filled, the whole cloth will really be filled

"Old Meng, isn't it a bit too hasty to do this, the Purple Pavilion Lord doesn't know what the situation is after all, will there be criticism for doing so" Qin Boyun pondered his words, and his face was a little hesitant

Meng Yuan glanced at the red-robed middle-aged man and said in a deep voice

"Lao Qin, you don't understand, it's because it's this time, the more you want to be like this, do you think adults are for yourself?"

He glanced at Qin Boyun, Qin Boyun was the internal envoy of the Qingyu Pavilion, but at the same time, he was also the middle backbone of the Flame Alliance, and he was the first batch of Qingyu Pavilion martial artists to throw himself into the Flame Alliance.

"This ......" Qin Boyun looked inexplicable, and he didn't know how to answer

"Our Ice Ocean warriors can't go on with internal friction anymore"

Meng Yuan patted him on the shoulder, .com holding the yellow cloth in his hand, and strode out of the door.

He shook his palm gently, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, there were still five empty seats on the cloth, and all he had to do was to fill these five names.

............

On the third floor of the Qingyu Pavilion, there were constantly figures coming in and out of a dark hall.

In the center of the main hall was a huge circular circle, covered with black twisted runes, faintly outlined into a huge erected eye.

Nearly 100 pavilion guards in the main hall are busy, and the square black iron blocks that are meters long are constantly being disassembled from the large array, and the soldiers in the rear will soon put new iron blocks into the large array, and the patterns on the iron blocks are joined with the surrounding lines, emitting a burst of ghostly light

"The No. 3 formation base in the east and the No. 6 formation base in the west, all replaced"

Five old men stood on a makeshift platform, supervising the work of the soldiers.

Suddenly, a soldier ran up to the high platform and knelt down on one knee in front of several old men, as if to report something, and several old men frowned and quickly walked off the high platform.

In a room on the third floor, Meng Yuan sat below, quietly looking at the five old men above with changing expressions.

"Meng Yuan, do you know what you're doing, it's just presumptuous" Reggie slapped the table, and the black sandalwood table shook violently, making a loud bang.

Meng Yuan's expression was as usual, without the slightest fear, but he didn't say a word, quietly waiting for the rest of the people to finish reading

The cloth was passed around in the hands of the five old men, and then it was put on the table again, and the five old men all looked at Meng Yuan below coldly at this time, and their expressions were uncertain.
