In the world of cultivating immortals, all the sects that have been inherited for more than thousands of years will take precautions and arrange for some loyal sects to go out to establish branch veins and hidden veins when the sect's power is flourishing.

Most of the exercises and secret techniques practiced by the monks of these branches are different from those of the main sect, so as not to be reminiscent of the relationship between the two.

In many cases, except for a few core high-level people in the branch, the other branch personnel will not know that the force they are in is actually a branch of a big force.

At the same time, in order for the branch vein to develop smoothly and prevent the branch from becoming bigger, the sect will support and suppress the branch.

For example, when the development of the branch is difficult, the sect will secretly give resources, and even send them directly to children of appropriate age.

And when a talented disciple emerges from the branch, they will be recruited into the sect to prevent the branch from becoming bigger.

As for the hidden vein, as the name suggests, it is a very secret branch vein.

This branch is often passed on by a single line, or only a few people, and its cultivation resources are all supported by the sect, and they will also practice the magic power of the sect, which is an important vein that can renew the inheritance of the sect at the necessary time.

For example, several branches of Qinglian Temple were all wiped out by Zhou Chun.

However, the most important inheritance spirit treasure of the Qinglian Temple, [Qinglian Transformation Robbery Armor], has never been traced, and it is likely that it was collected and preserved by the hidden vein disciples.

And a big force like the Moon Wheel Sect, which has a long tradition, will only have more branches that it has secretly cultivated.

As the head of the Moon Wheel Sect, Moon Worship Zhenren is one of the few people in the Moon Wheel Sect who knows how to contact those branch cultivators.

At this time, under the orders of Yinyue Zhenren, he immediately summoned a close confidant, handed over a few handwritten letters to him, and asked him to send them to the principals of several branches.

There are special prohibitions on these handwritten letters, and only those who are in charge of the branches know how to unravel them in the correct way.

Soon after, several principals of the Moon Wheel Sect branch who received the message from the true person of the Moon Worship quietly infiltrated Yasukuni with their own lineage experts and rendezvous in a wilderness in Lanzhou.

These people didn't know each other before, but now that they saw the above, they checked the tokens and realized that the other party was actually a monk of the Moon Wheel Sect branch like themselves.

"Senior Brother Hongye, your old cultivation is the highest, so you will lead the team on this trip, and we will all listen to your command."

In the barren mountains and mountains, a horse-faced old man with the early cultivation of Jindan greeted another red-robed old man with a flattering face.

Although they are all the principals of the branch of the Moon Wheel Sect, he who cultivated in the early stage of Jindan is obviously very different from the red-robed old man who cultivated in the later stage of Jindan.

Even if the latter is in front of the Moon Worship Zhenren, the head of the sect, he can still stand up and talk.

What's more, their vein has been unlucky in the past thousand years, and he was able to succeed in marrying Dan, but it was all thanks to the help of this sect at the beginning, and now there is no one among the juniors who can take over, which makes him even more unconfident.

"Senior Brother Song is polite, everyone is working for the sect, as long as the tasks assigned by the sect can be done well, whoever will command it will be the same."

The red-robed old man said in an indifferent tone, and he didn't say much about the flattery of the horse-faced old man.

It is true that with his cultivation, he can fully afford the flattery of the horse-faced old man.

But after all, the horse-faced old man is the master of the same vein as him, and theoretically both sides have the same status, if he really treats the other party as a subordinate and passes it to the sect, it is difficult to say what the moon worshippers, the sect leader, thinks, and what the silver moon real person thinks!

Therefore, even if he was very useful to the words of the horse-faced old man in his heart, he still couldn't say the truth.

In addition to the red-robed old man and the horse-faced old man, there was another woman in blue, who was also the master of the same line, with the mid-stage cultivation of Jindan.

These three people, along with the few powerful disciples they brought, were all the branch members of the Moon Wheel Sect that had been summoned to sabotage this time.

At this time, after some polite discussion between the three of them, they took the red-robed old man "Red Leaves Sanren" as the main person, and more than ten people followed the map together and touched towards the entrance of the underground waterway.

The underground river that leads directly from Lanzhou to Longyuanze cannot, of course, have only one entrance to the waterhole discovered by the Zhou family.

In fact, after hundreds of years of excavation, the Zhou family alone discovered several waterways that directly connected to underground rivers in Lanzhou.

And the Moon Wheel Sect relied on the information provided by the spies, and after the Jindan period monks explored and excavated, they re-excavated a secret entrance to the underground river.

At this time, Momiji Sanren and his party entered the underground river through this secret entrance, and then went straight down the river to Long Yuanze.

In the group, the woman in blue was the water attribute exercise that she cultivated, and she carried everyone all the way away with a water-clearing flying boat, and in less than half a day, she had already arrived in Long Yuanze.

Later, the Red Leaf Sanren used a thousand-mile communication talisman to directly contact the elders of the Moon Wheel Sect lurking here, and under his leadership, they directly found the Zhou family's Yushan stronghold.

After bringing the people to the location in this way, the Elder of the Moon Wheel Sect separated from the group of Red Leaf Sanren.

And Momiji Sanren and the others shot together and launched a fierce attack directly on the stronghold of Caiyu Mountain.

Today, the Zhou family has put as many as two or three hundred people in the wilderness, and most of them have lived and raised here since childhood, and it can be said that they have regarded this place as their hometown.

However, although there are quite a few people, most of them are Qi cultivation period monks, there are less than ten foundation building period monks, and there is only one Purple Mansion stage monk.

Originally, when Zhou Yuanlian had not gone far away from the Yuan Demon Realm, there were still Jindan period monks here.

But now there is only one Purple Mansion monk left.

Of course, the reason why this is the case, in addition to the fact that the Zhou family is now very popular, and those Jindan stage elders are not easy to come, it is also related to the fact that Zhou Chun's incarnation is practicing in the ice cave.

At this time, the stronghold was suddenly besieged by Momijisanren and others, and the mountain protection array soon began to shake violently.

Because there has never been a particularly outstanding array mage, the mountain protection array in the Yushan stronghold has not been strengthened for so many years.

Under normal conditions, it would not be a big problem to resist the attacks of two or three Jindan early stage cultivators, or one or two fourth-order demon beasts.

But now there are three Jindan monks besieging the stronghold, including a Jindan late monk and a Jindan mid-stage monk.

This kind of attack strength has exceeded the upper limit of what the Mountain Protection Array can handle.

Therefore, when Zhou Yuanliang, a monk of the Zhou Family's Purple Mansion who was stationed in the stronghold of Caiyu Mountain, discovered that the enemy was strong, he hurriedly ordered all the monks in the stronghold to go to various formation bases to assist him in maintaining the formation, and at the same time, he also quickly activated the thousand-mile transmission talisman left by Zhou Chun's incarnation.

In order to prevent the teleportation talisman from being intercepted, and also to show that the situation was critical, he also specially activated all the three thousand-mile teleportation talismans in his hand from three directions in a row.

But in fact, he himself felt a little desperate about the arrival of reinforcements.

With his status and status, he is not qualified enough to know who he is asking for help.

When the previous resident monk handed over the teleportation talisman to him, he only said that after activating the teleportation talisman, there would be a strong person at the level of the family elder to come to his aid as soon as possible.

And with the strong strength of the strong enemy outside the stronghold at this time, I am afraid that the mountain protection array will not be able to support it for an hour!

Despite this, he still dutifully shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone listen to me, the enemy is strong, if there is no stronghold to protect it, you will be able to escape after the stronghold is broken, and it will be difficult to survive in the wilderness, so it is the best practice for me to put away those thoughts that I shouldn't have, and work together to survive this catastrophe!" ”

"And don't panic too much, I have already asked the family elders for help, and the family elders will come to the rescue soon!"

But he knew in his heart that many of the monks in these strongholds had been secretly resentful of the Zhou family because they were trapped here.

If you don't explain the situation to them clearly at this time, once they make a fool, it will only affect everyone to play together!

Let's not talk about whether Zhou Yuanliang's words had an effect, but said that after Hongye Sanren and the others saw the firelight of the Qianli Messenger flying out of the stronghold, they also immediately felt a sense of urgency.

After all, today's Zhou family can be said to be strong and strong, and the top powerhouses can't even compare with their own sect.

They didn't even dare to suppress the Zhou family openly, so they could only secretly let these branch cultivators come over and destroy the Zhou family's industrial resources.

In case this thousand-mile transmission talisman is sent out, and the person who receives it is Zhou Chun, the patriarch of the Zhou family, then it won't take too long to rush over from Yasukuni at the speed of a Yuan Infant Monk.

And if they can't break the stronghold and retreat in time, they may all be buried in the wilderness at that time!

Therefore, the Red Leaves Sanren also had a serious face, and quickly spread the voice and shouted: "Don't pick and search, use any tricks, what you use today, this sect will naturally double it for me and wait to make it back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he himself first took out two fourth-order talismans, and successively stimulated the mountain protection array that hit the stronghold of the Jade Mountain.

Encouraged by him taking the lead, the horse-faced old man and the woman in blue also took out the talisman together and stepped up the attack.

Inside the stronghold, after Zhou Yuanliang saw this scene, his face turned a lot paler, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, and his eyes were full of despair.

On the other side, the thousand-mile messengers sent out by Zhou Yuanliang soon fell into the hands of Zhou Chun's incarnation one after another.

After reading the contents of the Qianli Messenger, Zhou Chun's body, who was far away in the Qinglian Mountain Range, quickly learned that the stronghold of Caiyu Mountain was attacked by human monks.

"How daring!"

In the cave mansion, Zhou Chun's face sank, and his heart was full of anger.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and even let the avatar rush to the Jade Mountain stronghold as fast as possible to rescue.

The ice cave that raised the [Ice Moon Toad] was not far from the Jade Mountain stronghold.

With the speed of Zhou Chun's incarnation, at full speed, it would take half an hour to arrive.

Therefore, when his avatar arrived near the stronghold of Caiyu Mountain, the stronghold's mountain protection array had not yet been completely shattered.

And the arrival of his incarnation also quickly attracted the attention of Momijisan.

"It's not good, it's a late-stage Jindan monk!"

Relying on his own experience and insight, the Red Leaf Sanren did not need to be detected by his divine sense, and immediately recognized the general cultivation of the comer through the speed and momentum of the white light, and then his face changed greatly and issued a warning.

Hearing his warning, the rest of the personnel all changed their expressions and knew that they were in big trouble.

A monk in the late stage of Jindan, maybe the Red Leaves Scattered People can still hold it off.

But everyone knows that the Zhou family is heirloom with the skill of beast control.

On this unidentified Jindan late-stage monk, who knows if there is a fourth-order demon beast spirit pet?

And the situation didn't allow them to think too much, and Zhou Chun's incarnation soon flew to the battlefield.

He didn't bother to talk nonsense with Hongye Sanren and the others, so he just raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and four [Six-winged Ice Silkworms] with four wings flew out together, turning into four almost invisible white phantoms and flying towards the enemy.

After many years of cultivation by Zhou Chun, these four [Six-winged Ice Silkworms] are now very close to the mature state, and it is estimated that if they molt again, they will be able to grow six-winged and evolve into a complete [Six-winged Ice Silkworm].

Therefore, in order to speed up their maturity, Zhou Chun also strengthened the incarnation's means of opposing the enemy, and had previously asked the incarnation to take them to the ice cave to practice.

Now half of the [Heavenly Frost Bee] group in the ice cave has entered their abdomen.

And the strength possessed by them alone already surpassed that of ordinary fourth-order low-grade demon beasts.

The scary thing is that their current opponents don't know that they are powerful!

At this time, whether it was the red leaf scattered people, or the horse-faced old man and the woman in blue, the main attention was on the body of Zhou Chun's incarnation, and although he also paid attention to these four insects, he didn't pay too much attention to them.

After all, the aura emanating from their bodies was actually a bit far behind that of the fourth-order demon beasts.

This kind of deception made several people not pay special attention to the transparent ice silk spewed out of the mouth of the four [Six-winged Ice Silkworms], and just randomly urged the magic weapon to protect themselves.

As a result, those Purple Mansion Stage cultivators brought by a few people became the first batch of victims.

I saw that the transparent ice silk was shaking in the air at high speed, and it was as easy as a knife cutting mud to cut those third-order magic weapons and even rune treasures into two petals.

Whether it was a flame shield or a rock shield, being twisted by the transparent ice silk would fall apart in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the four Purple Mansion Stage cultivators were divided into two pieces by the ice silk!

What's even more terrifying is that there is no blood flowing out of the wounds of the corpses of the four people, because the extremely cold qi attached to the ice silk has already frozen the wounds while cutting off their bodies!

"Shhh...... What kind of demon insect is this! How is it so scary! ”

The horse-faced old man couldn't help but gasp, and his expression changed dramatically and let out an exclamation.

Then he hurriedly urged a cyan bronze bell magic weapon to protect himself in it, and he no longer dared to underestimate it.

But the most angry is the red leaves.

Because among the Purple Mansion monks who died just now, there happened to be one of his very beloved apprentices.

"Evil animals are looking for death!"

With an angry roar from his mouth, a ball of red true fire erupted from his mouth, turning into a red firebird and flying towards a [Six-winged Ice Silkworm].

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's incarnation immediately said coldly: "Damn it, you have to wait!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he opened his mouth and spat out, and a white icy light came out to extinguish the red firebird.

At the same time, nine invisible ice needles also flew out of his sleeve, silently shooting towards the three Jindan stage cultivators.

But I didn't want to ask where a few people came from, I just wanted to kill a few people first.
