Chapter Seventy-One: The Oasis Conspiracy
Listening to the beautiful woman's order, everyone became nervous. Li Fei actually didn't understand that with the status of the Wanhua Sect, there was no need to send such a powerful team to search for any stone tablets. The so-called Experimental Refining Star quota issued by the Immortal Source Sect should only be attractive to small and medium-sized sects and scattered cultivators, and it is nothing to a few super forces, because the Refining Star quota is controlled and distributed by them.
The intense search continued for several hours, and the crowd still found nothing. Among them, two small oases were encountered, which was a small adjustment to everyone's nervous nerves. Although the monks did not care about the desert environment, the appearance of an oasis was always a pleasant thing.
As soon as noon passed, the sky was overcast again, and a small wind blew, hastening the darkness to come. The beautiful woman reminded everyone to speed up and try to get to the next big oasis before the sandstorm arrives to reduce the impact of the sandstorm.
Due to the appearance of a large number of people from the Wanhua Sect, it also indirectly provided a direction for other cultivators. Many cultivators followed from a distance, so the team of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect was like an arrow, followed by a relatively loose but extremely large arrow tail.
The cultivators of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect were naturally aware of the situation behind them, but they did not intervene, but acquiesced in the ever-expanding ranks. Li Fei also guessed the purpose of the Wanhua Sect, although everyone's goal was the same, but the final result was different.
Moreover, Li Fei estimated that the Wanhua Sect should know something in advance, because although the team of the Wanhua Sect was also exploring all the way, the general direction was very clear, and there were basically no detours.
After another half an hour, the sun had completely set, the wind speed had increased imperceptibly, and small sands and dust had begun to dance with the wind. Most cultivators were aware of the dangers that could arise during sandstorms, so they all subconsciously increased their speed.
The team of the Wanhua Sect also reduced their search efforts, and after a cursory scan, they advanced at a faster pace. From everyone's increasingly serious expressions, Li Fei judged that the destination was likely to be getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but get nervous!
Although there were many people, they were scattered in the endless desert, and coupled with the influence of wind and sand, Li Fei felt that everyone else was far away from him, and the whole desert seemed to be alone!
An hour later, after the Wanhua Sect's team had climbed over a large rocky mountain range, they finally entered a large basin and the largest oasis within a radius of thousands of miles before the arrival of a strong sandstorm. Some cultivators had already entered the basin earlier than the Wanhua Sect, and most of them had followed the Wanhua Sect's team one after another.
After entering the basin, although it is still a desert, the wind has been greatly reduced, the sand and dust have decreased sharply, and some yellow-brown desert plants can be seen occasionally, and everyone's mood is relatively relaxed.
As more and more cultivators entered the basin, the relatively quiet basin began to liven up. Some cultivators are preparing to set up camp in groups of three or five, intending to recuperate and continue to look for the stone monument after the sandstorm is over; some cultivators see that there are so many people that they even set up stalls on the spot and start selling all kinds of items; some cultivators begin to look for a large water source and are ready to relax, especially some female cultivators, who want to improve their image.
The Wanhua Sect's team directly occupied the largest small lake in the center of the oasis and began to set up camp. In fact, it is a small lake, but it is better to say that it is a relatively large pond, and the water in the pond is very clear, and you can see the small pebbles at the bottom at a glance. Li Fei did not stay by the small lake, but rested alone on a small mound a few miles away.
This time, the sandstorm lasted for a long time, and it didn't stop until late at night. Naturally, the inside of the basin stopped before the outside, and at this moment, screams rang out one after another everywhere in the basin!
"It's demon ants! Be careful, why are there so many demon ants......"
"And the Bone Mosquito! Run......"
"What do you want to do......?"
The basin, which was harmonious a moment ago, instantly became a hell on earth. Li Fei was not spared. It's just that because he was the only one around, there were very few small bugs encountered, and they were quickly eliminated. Some cultivators who had not yet been attacked flew up one after another, and at the same time, they released a protective aura and rushed out of the basin. But soon, many cultivators who flew into the air screamed and fell down.
There was a cultivator who reacted quickly, and he quickly landed on the ground again, shouting in horror: "There are many iron-armored poisonous peaks in the sky......
For a time, where there were cultivators in the basin, all kinds of fierce insects that were rarely seen appeared in the sky, on the ground, and underground. The wiser cultivators began to unite and resist in an organized manner. There were also cultivators who ran to the Wanhua Sect's residence, hoping to use the powerful power of the Wanhua Sect to resolve this sudden crisis.
It's a long story, but it happens in an instant. In such a short period of time, hundreds of cultivators have fallen, thousands of cultivators have been injured, and the entire basin is filled with the shadow of death, and the atmosphere is extremely weird and dignified!
Li Fei didn't act rashly for the time being, just stayed where he was, while destroying some insects and observing the surrounding situation. Li Fei knew from the situation perceived by the divine mind that within a radius of a hundred miles, where there were no cultivators, there would be no insects, and the more cultivators there were, the more insects!
The Wanhua Sect is worthy of being called a super sect, and it is not chaotic when it changes, and it quickly laid out a defensive formation, and quickly emptied the nearby insects, only five or six female cultivators were injured at the beginning, and they were quickly treated. Of course, this is also closely related to the formation of the ten masters of the Dan period.
After a comprehensive judgment, Li Fei concluded that it was a trap set by a certain super force, and the main target should not be a large number of loose cultivators, but the team of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect! The most unlucky casual cultivators now were just clearing the field before the bigger action.
Thinking about the reason, Li Fei hesitated, with the IQ of so many masters of the Wanhua Sect, he should be able to quickly think that this was a conspiracy against them, and he didn't need to sacrifice his ugliness at all, but if he walked away, it would be unreasonable. What Li Fei was most worried about was that once he went to the Wanhua Sect to meet, it was likely that he would not even have a chance to escape.
Just when Li Fei was hesitating, five dazzling rays of light rose above the Wanhua Sect station, and the five knotting stage masters led by the beautiful woman appeared in the sky. The beautiful woman glanced around, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Fellow Daoists, it is obvious that someone is plotting against us, I hope you can advance and retreat with my Wanhua Sect and smash the enemy's conspiracy!" ”
The beautiful woman paused for a moment and continued: "In order to prevent the enemy's spies from getting in, my Wanhua Sect has also established a large defensive array on the other side of the small lake, please enter as soon as possible to prevent casualties from expanding, and at the same time, I will pull out the spies one by one!"
A large number of cultivators who were fighting hard listened to the words of the beautiful woman, and naturally they were overjoyed, and they retreated to the small lake while fighting.
At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded: "Don't believe in the Wanhua Sect, for the ulterior motive, the insect tide attack just now was done by the Wanhua Sect! It is impossible for ordinary small and medium-sized sects to have this strength, and it is the right way for everyone to flee for their lives! If you rashly enter the formation, you will fall into the conspiracy of the Wanhua Sect, and you will be eliminated in a centralized ......manner."
The beautiful woman's eyes erupted with fire, and she shouted: "Which bastard is pretending to be a ghost? Since you dare to frame all the cultivators, why didn't you show up!"
No one answered the words of the beautiful woman. For cultivators who are still in a bitter battle, they are in a dilemma, their own lives are at stake, who can easily believe the words of others?
Only a small number of cultivators estimated that it would be difficult to resist the attack of the insect tide, so they firmly chose to retreat towards the Wanhua Sect's station. At this time, hundreds of people in different places suddenly chose Edgeworth to break through into the air, and strangely, these people were not attacked from the sky!
"Stop these spies! You can't let them go! They are all traitors from the Demon Spirit Sect!" Li Fei suddenly shouted, and at the same time raised the silver flying sword and slashed at one of them.
Listening to Li Fei's shouting, many cultivators didn't think about it, and attacked with anger, plus the Wanhua Sect had already freed up their hands and intercepted them with all their might, but no one escaped successfully!
In the face of the anger of so many cultivators, more than a hundred cultivators were either killed or captured alive in a few breaths, without exception!
Li Fei saw that these cultivators who tried to escape were successfully stopped, but his heart began to feel uneasy. Although he encountered the insect tide from the beginning, Li Fei was thinking about who was the culprit behind the scenes, although the basic judgment was that it was the Demon Spirit Gate from the Nanyuan Continent, but after all, it was not confirmed, in case it was not, he would definitely die.
It's just that the situation just now does not allow Li Fei to hesitate at all, otherwise, under the deliberate drive of these people, it will definitely be out of control. In the end, it doesn't matter whether these scattered cultivators live or die, absolutely none of the people of the Wanhua Sect will be spared, and they will also have to bear the infamy of being the enemy of all cultivators.
Although Li Fei was only the nominal honorary elder of the Wanhua Sect, he didn't want to sit idly by at this moment. Although in the chaos, Li Fei could escape from the encirclement more easily, he still did not hesitate to take the risk and pointed out the possibility of spies.
Under the organization of the Wanhua Sect, all the cultivators or corpses who tried to escape were quickly gathered together. Under the witness of a large number of cultivators, the truth was soon revealed: there were a total of one hundred and nineteen people, ninety-five people with the waist card of the Demon Spirit Sect, twenty people from the Spirit Beast Sect, and four people who belonged to the No Sect. Thankfully, the four non-sectarians were only injured and were not killed on the spot.
All the cultivators were willing to actively cooperate with the disappearance of the suspicion of the Wanhua Sect, and as a result, in less than half an hour, all the fierce insects were wiped out. Li Fei sighed greatly, and thought to himself: "The difference between organized and unorganized is too great!" Of course, it is also very important for everyone to successfully eliminate the spies, otherwise, with them to sabotage, there will be no unity at all.
Next, under the organization of the Wanhua Sect, a total of four interrelated combined defensive formations were laid around Xiaohu. Each formation guarantees that there are at least two masters of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect and twenty disciples of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect who are responsible for coordinating and commanding, and the other monks, each formation has more than five hundred people.
Everything was ready, and the glamorous woman and another master of the Yudan period took Yue'er to find Li Fei and returned to the formation together. The beautiful woman's eyes were full of gratitude, and she said excitedly: "Li Fei, thank you! Your great kindness to the Wanhua Sect will be remembered by the Wanhua Sect! I promise in my personal name that the Wanhua Sect can meet your three requirements in the future, and as long as the requirements are reasonable, the Wanhua Sect will never refuse." ”
Li Fei said a little embarrassed: "Thank you, senior, you're welcome, how can I say that I am also a member of the Wanhua Sect." ”
Yue'er looked at Li Fei with adoring eyes, and interjected, "Li Fei, how do you know that those people are spies of the Demon Spirit Sect?"
