Chapter 156: The Eve of the Storm
This night, the Zixia Sect was terrified.
Although the two Ten Realms Great Demons had already left, the words they said fell on everyone's hearts. Everyone now knows that as soon as the day dawns, there will be a third Ten Realms Great Demon appearing and joining forces to break the Zixia Sect's great array. Everyone was worried and scared, and no one could squint for a while that night.
The elders were strictly waiting around the Patriarch Hall, and once a demon clan attacked the mountain, they would immediately form a formation to operate the Sect Protector Array. And the disciples below have already been distributed on the various mountain roads to enter the sect according to the prior arrangement, in order to resist the attack of the demon clan army after the big array is broken.
In the war with the demon clan, either you die or I live. Therefore, thousands of people in the entire Zixia Sect have already gambled their lives at this time, and one party will never give up if they don't die.
And at this moment, everyone's eyes are undoubtedly focused on this great array of protectors, and the big array must not have an accident.
……
Fan Xuan got her master's order, and at this time she drove the talisman to the gate of Zhengshan, only to see that the boulder carved with the word "Zixia Sect" at the door was already full of people, and there were scattered disciples on both sides of the mountain road. A cursory look shows that there are one or two hundred people, all of whom are dressed in the robes of the Zixia Sect, and they are all children of the sect.
Among the crowd, there was a woman standing at the stone table at the gate of the mountain, and this was Hu Xun. The last time Xu Huaigu climbed the Zixia Sect, it was this person who was on duty at the gate of the mountain, because she handled the matter very properly and had already received the respect of the sect, so she was able to lead more than a hundred disciples to guard the main gate of the Zixia Sect with the cultivation of the Seven Realms, which was not a dispensable errand.
Hu Xun is naturally proud of this, so although he is at the end of the road, he is also doing his best.
Before Fan Xuan approached the talisman, he had already attracted the attention of all the disciples here, and everyone immediately became alert. Some people were about to twist out the talisman to cast a spell, and some people subconsciously took two steps back, their eyes cringing, wanting to hide behind everyone.
Hu Xun looked at Fan Xuan, and after recognizing her, he hurriedly said, "Don't panic, it's Senior Sister Fan Xuan." The Great Array of Protectors has not yet been broken by the Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan is absolutely unable to enter, so everyone doesn't have to be so grassy. ”
When everyone heard this, their hanging hearts were put down.
Fan Xuan landed beside Hu Xun, bowed his hand, and said, "Fan Xuan was ordered by the master to come to the main gate to defend against the enemy, and obeyed the dispatch of Senior Sister Hu. ”
Hu Xun hurriedly smiled and said: "Senior Sister Fan is polite, they are all disciples of this sect, what is not sent is nothing more than to contribute to the sect." But with your help, it's more certain to hold the main gate. ”
Fan Xuan raised her head and bowed slightly. Hu Xun saw that the corners of her eyes were a little red, and he thought that he hadn't seen Fan Xuan in the sect for the past few days, and now he seemed to be in a hurry back, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. But she didn't ask much, although her realm was higher, but after all, when it came to status, Fan Xuan was much higher than her.
Hu Xun didn't speak, but Fan Xuan asked eagerly: "Senior Sister Hu, I haven't been in the sect these days, what has happened to the sect?" ”
Hu Xun replied: "When it comes to big things, no matter how big it is, the two big demons will break the formation tonight." In addition, the elders had already given an order to defend to the death, and the disciples of the entire sect were divided into more than a dozen factions, all of which were led by the older senior brothers and sisters to resist the demon clan at various intersections up the mountain. No matter how old you are, you must defend against the enemy together. ”
Fan Xuan looked at the crowd around her, and really saw many young disciples. Most of these people have only just entered the sect for two or three years, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, the childishness on their faces has not yet faded, and they are often only in the first and second realms, but they are also standing among the crowd.
Ben was still in the age of Qing Xiu, and he had never even slaughtered livestock, how could he kill demons? Fan Xuan saw their eyes dazed and at a loss. She couldn't imagine how these children would defend themselves against the enemy if the demon clan really attacked the mountain.
Hu Xun saw what she was thinking, sighed, and said: "This is also impossible, even if they don't go to the front line, they are more than lucky." Now although the Great Array of Protectors protects the Zixia Sect, it also allows no one in the sect to enter or exit. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and we can only prosper and lose. ”
Fan Xuan felt very uncomfortable. Although she is willing to die fighting for the sect, these children who have just entered the sect should not. In the world, most of them are also the children of a gorgeous family, if they don't go up the mountain, maybe they can follow the family to escape from Dongfu Yaozhou and survive. But now that he has gone up the mountain, he is not controlled by the world, and everything must be ordered by the sect.
In this way, entering the Zixia Sect has harmed them.
Hu Xun said: "When the time comes, if there is a real fight, I will let them hide behind." ”
Fan Xuan's eyebrows tightened, nodded, and asked again, "Is the sect master out of the customs now?" ”
Hu Xun shook his head and said, "This is not something I can know, Elder Murong should know, you should ask your master." ”
Fan Xuan thought about it and said helplessly: "Forget it, do I know, what's the use?" I'm still staying here and going with you, so I can do something practical. ”
Hu Xun thanked him: "Then there is Senior Sister Lao Fan." ”
While the two were talking, they saw a flying sword slowly coming in the air, and everyone once again focused their eyes on the flying sword.
Hu Xun squinted and couldn't recognize the person on the flying sword, but seeing that she was dressed and was not a disciple of the Zixia Sect, and had never seen her in the sect, he suddenly became vigilant. She just wanted to warn with words, but Fan Xuan grabbed her hand and hurriedly explained: "This is a fellow Daoist of Qingfeng Valley, I know it, so there is no need to be suspicious." ”
When Hu Xun heard this, he withdrew his hand, comforted the people around him for a few words, and then stopped talking.
On the flying sword is Liu Wan'er. She landed beside Fan Xuan, collected the sword into the heart lake, and smiled kindly: "Fan Daoyou, I'm here too." ”
Fan Xuan smiled on her face, but she couldn't laugh in her heart anyway, so she only asked, "What about Xu Huaigu?" Why weren't you with him? ”
"Xu Huaigu has his own things to do, and he won't be able to come for a while." Liu Wan'er smiled, "I think if the demon clan attacks the mountain, the main gate must be the top priority, so I also come here to help." ”
Hu Xun looked at her with his spare eyes, her cultivation is not low, she should be almost the same as herself, and she is about six or seven realms, so she doesn't dare to underestimate her.
Fan Xuan reluctantly smiled: "Thank you Liu Daoyou." ”
Hu Xun also bowed slightly to Liu Wan'er to show his gratitude.
Liu Wan'er found a bluestone nearby and sat down, quietly waiting for the demon clan to come again. She closed her eyes slightly, thinking of Lei Chi in her heart.
There are so many living people in front of her, and they will soon be on the Huangquan Road, and she can't bear to see any of the people in the outer sect, but their sect master has such an iron heart? Do you really regard the reputation of the so-called sect as more important than anything else? That's a ruthless character, too.
She couldn't help much about the scourge of the Thunder Pool. Even Murong Di has said that the news cannot be leaked, but I am afraid that Murong Di is also looking at her from an unknown place at the moment. As long as she has the behavior of telling the matter of Lei Chi, Liu Wan'er has no doubt that she will stop or even seriously injure herself.
The affairs of Zixia Sect's own sect, let them solve it by themselves. After all, he is an outsider, so it is difficult to meddle.
Liu Wan'er leaned against the stone wall and rested in a pretended sleep.
……
In the Valley of the Breeze Valley, the situation is not good at this time.
Although the disciples of Qingfeng Valley had not seen the demon clan attack the mountain with their own eyes, they could guess that if they could make such a big move, they must have already started a war.
For the demon clan to be able to hit the Zixia Sect so quickly, it was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. No one knows how long the Zixia Sect can hold out, and how long it will be Qingfeng Valley's turn.
Although there is a fairy boat that can take them away, but the fairy boat has not yet arrived, not to mention who knows if the fairy boat is reliable? Will you see the war approaching and simply run away? Then the second group of people left in Qingfeng Valley will be difficult to do. Even the Zixia Sect couldn't stop the demon clan, let alone Qingfeng Valley?
Therefore, the first thing Xie Qingyun did was to ensure that Xianzhou could arrive on time and as soon as possible.
She hurriedly sent a message flying sword to Xianzhou, and soon got a reply from that side, saying that it was full speed ahead, and it would take a day and a half to arrive. In this day and a half, the demon clan will definitely not be able to hit Qingfeng Valley, but if Xu Huaigu said that the thunder pool explodes in this day and a half, whether Qingfeng Valley can survive will be risky.
Therefore, the second thing Xie Qingyun did was to immediately gather all the elders and try their best to run the Sect Protector Array in case of emergency.
In addition, she also spread the news to her disciples that the fairy boat would arrive in a day and a half. The first is to ask the disciples to prepare their luggage, and then they can directly board the boat and leave; The second is to let the disciples have a bottom in their hearts and not panic. In this way, the hearts of the people in Qingfeng Valley can be considered to be stable.
The night was starry, and it was not yet dawn. In the bamboo building halfway up the mountain, there was a faint candle light.
Yu Qinku sat in front of the chessboard, looking at the chessboard, her eyebrows full of worry that could not be concealed. That game of chess was a game between her and Fan Xuan, and she had just made twenty moves each. Now that Fan Xuan has returned to Zixia Sect, and even Xu Huaigu has gone, she suddenly has a sense that things are wrong.
Ruyu had already faded the demon body and turned into the usual appearance, so Chen Qi and Ruyu went back to the bamboo building together. The two stayed by Yu Qin's side, and they all knew that something was wrong, so they just sat quietly, not as lively as before.
Yu Qin just frowned and sat hard, sitting for more than an hour. Ruyu knew what she was worried about, and it was all caused by her own people, so she felt guilty and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Chen Qi wanted to make Yu Qin happier, so he walked to sit down opposite her, blinked his eyes, and said, "Sister, why don't I accompany you to play a game of chess?" It's not a problem to sit and worry like this, I'll accompany you to pass the time in the next two rounds. Maybe the chess game is over, and Mr. Xu will come back? ”
Yu Qin squeezed out a smile at her and said, "Thank you, let's play the next game." ”
Chen Qi smiled, hurriedly put away the chess game in front of him, and started playing chess with Yu Qin. Ruyu watched from afar, not close, his brows furrowed deeper than Yu Qin, and he felt guilty in his heart.
As soon as the little girl fell into a son, she persuaded her: "Sister, Mr. Xu is so powerful, he will definitely not have an accident, you can rest assured, we are here to wait for him to come back." ”
Yu Qin nodded, as if she had thought of something, turned to Ruyu and said, "Sit down, you can also look at chess." ”
Ruyu moved the chair to the side of the chess game, pursed her lips, buried her head, and said nothing.
Yu Qin said as she fell: "Before your husband leaves, let me tell you." ”
Ruyu hurriedly raised her head and looked at Yu Qin curiously, and Chen Qi also looked at her.
Yu Qin spoke: "He said that if you encounter danger in these two days, you can show your demon body to save your life without his consent." ”
Dangerous? Ruyu didn't quite understand, but still nodded stunned.
Yu Qin said seriously: "If something really happens, remember to protect Chen Qi when the time comes." ”
Ruyu nodded inexplicably.
Chen Qi didn't quite understand what Xu Huaigu's intention was to tell such a thing, it sounded like there was some danger coming. Could it be that it's about the demon clan? Otherwise, apart from the demon clan, there shouldn't be anything else important. But the news that just came from Lord Xie Gu's side said that the immortal boat would arrive in a day and a half, thinking that in such a short period of time, the demon clan would definitely not be able to beat Qingfeng Valley, it should be that Xu Huaigu was too cautious.
Chen Qi thought about it for a while, didn't take it too seriously, and continued to play chess with Yu Qin.
Although Ruyu didn't understand what Mr. meant, he subconsciously had an ominous premonition, which shrouded his heart and lingered like a cloud.
Something big must be happening, his brow furrowed even deeper.
