Huang Long suppressed the guilt and self-blame in his heart, and prepared to flee from the Qingyun Sect to the frontal battlefield to report Elder Dong's rebellion with the other elders.

However, Huang Long rushed all the way towards the Qingyun Sect at the foot of the mountain, and saw the corpses of many Qingyun Sect disciples on the way, and guessed in his heart that this was probably a good thing done by Zhong Ming, a disciple of Dong Cheng, and his grandson Dong Mingli.

"I don't know where Dong Mingli and the others are now, are they going to support Elder Dong or intercepting the disciples who are about to flee at the mountain gate?" Huang Long thought to himself, his pace slowed down, and he walked slowly and cautiously forward.

Walking to the sect, I saw Dong Mingli, who was sitting on the stone steps with his head bowed, and seemed a little dull, and Zhong Ming also stood beside Dong Mingli with his hands on his chest without saying a word.

"Zhong Ming is easy to say, but Dong Mingli's strength is far better than mine, and I am afraid that I can't break through." Huang Long thought for a while, and then had a flash of inspiration, and said in his heart: "I remember that there is a secret passage in the back mountain of Qingyun Sect, which can lead to Zexian, but it is too far away from the position of the head of the sect, and I am afraid that the news will not be delivered in time." ”

Huang Long struggled for a while, and finally made a decision, "As the saying goes, 'the most dangerous is the safest', so I'll hide in the sect for the time being." It shouldn't be too long for Shizun and Elder Dong to separate the winners and losers, and then make plans. Otherwise, if you go through the dark passage, and when you see the head and the elders, the development of the situation may be out of control. ”

So Huang Long hid in a courtyard where the disciples of the outer sect were doing chores about three miles away from the mountain gate, and secretly observed the situation at the mountain gate.

It didn't take long for Dong Cheng's sword-walking figure to appear above the Qingyun Sect, and Zhong Ming carefully shrank back. Seeing Dong Cheng's indifferent appearance, Huang Long gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of pain and looked at Si Xingfeng in the distance, he knew that his master Wanzhong Mountain was invincible to Dong Cheng and had been killed by him.

"Mingli, you two have been guarding here, have you seen Elder Wan's disciple Huang Long?" Dong Cheng saw that there was no trace of a fight here at the mountain gate, so he opened his mouth to ask Dong Mingli and Zhong Ming.

Dong Mingli raised his head when he heard his grandfather's voice, stood up, and said, "Grandpa, Zhong Ming and I have been guarding here, and I haven't seen any disciples coming down." ”

Zhong Ming also echoed Dong Mingli's words.

Dong Cheng stroked his beard, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It seems that he escaped from the secret passage in the mountain behind the sect." That's it, with his cultivation strength, when the news reaches Ouyang Hua, maybe Ouyang Hua is already a dead person. ”

Hearing his grandfather call himself the name of his master and the head of the Qingyun Sect at this moment, Dong Cheng lowered his head and was silent, with some mixed feelings in his heart, Zhong Ming quietly glanced at him and did not make a sound.

"Okay, let's leave this place too, and from now on Qingyun Sect will have nothing to do with my Dong family!" Dong Cheng turned around with a wave of his hand. Then he stretched out his hand, and Yiye Yunzhou escaped from the storage ring, and took the three of them into the air and left the Qingyun Sect.

When the figures of the three of them completely disappeared from sight, Huang Long ran back to Si Xingfeng and saw Wanzhong Mountain quietly "lying" in the courtyard of Shen Xingtang, and the blood had already dyed all the light blue robes of Wanzhong Mountain red.

Huang Long trembled and slowly squatted down, closing Wan Chongshan's eyes with both hands. "Master, the disciple is incompetent, and he can't help the master at all." Huanglong couldn't support it anymore, and the tears of the bean fell one by one.

After crying for a while, Huang Long stood up, placed the body of Wanzhong Mountain on the main seat in the Shenxing Hall, knelt down and bowed, "Master, the disciple will go and pass the message to the master." The four sects work together, or it won't be long before we will be able to win a big victory, and then ask the head to personally preside over the funeral of the master, and you will be here for a few days. ”

Wiping away his tears, Huang Long stood up and turned to leave, running in the direction of the four sect alliances.

At this time, in a cave near the Qingxin Dao, "Strange, why did this 'Yan Shengjue' clash with my cultivation 'Gathering Spirit Jue'?" Wu Mingdao was cultivating the Yan Shengjue given to him by the Qing Immortals, but he found that the Gathering Spirit Recipe he had learned from the Peach Immortals would "try" to hinder his cultivation of the Yan Shengjue.

"It seems that there is no way for me to break through before this big war for the time being." Wu Mingdao sighed. Wu Mingdao rearranged the existing information in his heart, and couldn't help but become more and more pessimistic, "Now that the battle has not been fought yet, the righteous path has lost four elders, I'm afraid the situation of the Hehuan Sect is not optimistic, I don't know the ...... of the Qingyun Sect."

Wu Mingdao shook his head, "The location of the Qingyun Sect is in the rear of the four sect alliances, if the Demon Dao is raided, it will be attacked from front to back, I think they will not attack the Qingyun Sect." However, the situation is still not optimistic, and the cultivation of the Peach Blossom Sect Sect Master and the Great Elder is probably at least in the late Yuan Infant stage. Alas, I only hope that the four sects can discover the plan of the Demon Dao as soon as possible and join forces together, and there will be some chance of victory. ”

"Since there is no hope of breaking through, it is better to find the coalition forces as soon as possible and inform the head and master of the situation I know." Wu Mingdao was ready to set off, and looked around, "Now I don't know the specific location of the coalition army, judging from the previous march route and marching speed of the Demon Dao, I have already arrived in Huncheng in the past few days, I will rush there to see the situation first." ”

Just as Wu Mingdao set out to look for the coalition army, the Great Zhou court also found out the information of Qingxin Dao, Yunmengzong and Hehuan Sect, and Emperor Long Yuanlie was furious above the main hall.

"Zhuqing, take a look! Look! On weekdays, I want this and that, and I am very angry, and now I haven't met other people's demons, and I have died so many people first! Long Yuanlie stood on the imperial steps and walked back and forth, shouting tired and sitting on the dragon chair. Long Yuanlie didn't expect that the war had just begun, and the righteous path would fall into such a passive situation, which made it difficult for them to implement their plan of "reaping the benefits of the fisherman".

Long Yuanlie picked up a letter from the table again, and said angrily: "There has been no war in the past few years, and the people have finally lived a few days of peace. Now that the war has just started, these immortals have sent a message asking me to resume the past worship as soon as possible, and the beautiful name is 'the four sects of the righteous path resolutely defend the Great Zhou', I think that there is no difference between giving them an offering and giving an offering to the demonic way! ”

"Do you have any suggestions?" Long Yuanlie suddenly became a little depressed after venting his emotions, and asked the ministers of the palace weakly.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, we must fully support the four sects of the Righteous Path, otherwise, the society will be in danger." A white-haired official came out of the column with a wat board in his hand to admonish Long Yuanlie.

Long Yuanlie sat on the dragon chair, his eyes slanted towards the old minister, and said, "What does Chen Aiqing mean by his full support?" Right, our people in Dazhou will give all the food and money, and let them light incense to burn the last trace of spiritual energy on their bodies!? Long Yuanlie was young and vigorous, and at this moment, he was waving his hands in the air and roaring.

Long Yuanlie's words are a conspiracy theory spread by a group of "radical" officials in order to exaggerate the "ugly image" of the immortals, gain the support of the common people, and oppose the worship of the immortals: the immortals use evil magic in the sect to secretly make special incense for the people to burn, this kind of incense can strip the original aura of the people born on the people for the immortals to cultivate, and over time it will make the people's qi and blood exhausted and longevity will not be eternal. Of course, these things are secrets that people spread around in disguise, leaving no trace of the imperial court.

"Eh, the old minister doesn't dare!" When Chen Fazu heard the emperor say this, he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Although there was a consensus within the Great Zhou court that they planned to liberate the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty from this immortal and demon war, in fact some "conservative" officials were forcibly unified in their will. Of course, these people can't say that they are all bad people, to put it bluntly, they are just too afraid of the power of the "immortals", and they are worried that they will accidentally lead to the overthrow of the society.

Long Yuanlie glanced at Meng Song, who had been keeping his head down and silent, and wanted to say something, but he stopped talking and didn't say anything, and waved his hand at the civil and military officials in the hall irritably, "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

The ministers walked out of the hall in twos and threes, and Meng Song also knew in his heart that the emperor had something to say to himself, so he consciously stood in place and did not leave with everyone.

Meng Song lowered his head and waited for the emperor to speak first. "Meng Aiqing, in this situation, how do you say my Da Zhou should deal with himself?!" Emperor Long Yuanlie stepped down the imperial steps and grabbed Meng Song's hand, looking a little flustered.

Meng Song's eyes sank slightly, and he glanced left and right, Long Yuanlie was slightly stunned and then realized, and waved his hand to drive out all the eunuchs and palace maids who served in the palace.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Chen said is not unreasonable." Hearing Meng Song's words, Long Yuanlie couldn't help but speak, and Meng Song immediately said: "However, we can't help them without doing anything." Everything we do is just to 'not let them lose'. ”

Meng Song's tone was calm, and there was a kind of calmness that made people feel at ease. Long Yuanlie leaned back slightly, as if he had "captured" something, but it was not very clear. Long Yuanlie shouted loudly outside the door: "Ma Cheng, bring in two chairs." ”

The personal eunuch guarding the door didn't dare to let the emperor wait longer, and led the two little eunuchs to quickly bring two stools.

Long Yuanlie waved his hand to let them out, and then personally placed a stool behind Meng Song, "Meng Aiqing, sit down with me and talk slowly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Song saluted and sat down, and continued to speak: "Dongchang is powerful, and now the attitude of the people in my Great Zhou is often quite critical of the immortals. I think the four sects are also known. But now, they are in a hurry to deal with the invasion of the demon path, and they have no time to care about anything else. Don't say you don't dare to do anything to us, and even rely on us. The current situation, in fact, is not so bad. Even according to Lao Chen's opinion, it is beneficial to my Great Zhou. ”

Long Yuanlie's eyes lit up when he heard this, his neck stretched upward, and shouted towards the door of the main hall: "Ma Cheng, bring Master Meng a cup of water!" ”
