Chapter 88, the past of Jiufengmen

The old voice of the self-proclaimed Great Elder of the Nine Peaks Gate sounded again, and said with a little excitement: "This is the Earth Weapon Array Stick!" This friend is a fifth-level formation mage? ”

Qingshi didn't answer him, but said, "Now the seniors can talk about our way to make us believe in you!" ”

"Alas!" The voice sighed and said, "Of course I can tell you, but it's useless to talk about it now, you can ask for more blessings, I hope you bring enough spirit stones to support it for a long time." ”

"How can you trust us when you say that?" Qingshi still said calmly.

"Well, I'll tell you," the voice said, "that stone tower to the west of you was originally connected to these stone towers, but then the connecting pattern was broken and became a separate existence. If you had had time to check it out just now, you would have understood. With that stone tower as the backing array, there is absolutely no danger of triggering the trap of the magic circle. And with it as a basis for arranging the array, you can use the power of the leylines connected under the stone tower, so that you can have an endless stream of energy to deal with the poisonous fog. It's just a pity that it's too late, and now you can't verify it to see if what I said is true. ”

"Is this poisonous mist very corrosive?" Qingshi asked, "Why do you have to rely on the power of the leylines?" We have a lot of spirit stones, I'm afraid we can fight against this poisonous fog for many years. ”

"Humph!" The voice said with some annoyance, "What if you can resist twenty or thirty years of Chinese New Year's Eve?" No matter how many spirit stones there are, there will be a time when they run out. ”

"Then according to what you said before," Qingshi said unfazedly, "Even if we believe you and enter the stone tower range to rely on the stone tower array, if we can't solve the poisonous fog, then we will only be trapped for a longer time." But I don't know how long my predecessor has been trapped? ”

"Alas!" The voice sighed again, "Three hundred years, more than three hundred years!" But your presence has given me hope. If you can trust me just now and form a formation within the stone tower, then we may be able to think of a way out together. ”

"The foundation of cooperation is mutual trust," says Aoishi, "as long as the seniors are sincere in helping us, then it's not too late." ”

"Do you have a way to deal with the poisonous fog?" The voice asked in surprise, "Can you crack this maze?" ”

"I don't know," Aoshi replied, "but I'll try, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I crack the maze." If the seniors really help us, please tell us all about the situation here, how can you be trapped in the stone tower? What's going on with those hell bats? I believe that it will help us to break through the formation, and we will naturally help our predecessors to solve the difficulties. ”

"Tell me who you are? Why did you come here, and what did you come here for? "My instincts tell me that you're good people, and that you look strong enough that maybe we'll have a chance to go out together." ”

"It's okay," Qingshi sent Shen Feiyun an inquiring look, and after receiving an affirmative reply, he continued, "We are students of Tianlong Academy, and we are here this time to arrest the Zhu family's rebellion against Zhu Ping and clear the portal for the Zhu family and my Tianlong Academy. ”

"Zhu Ping!" The voice said eagerly, "Be specific." ”

"I'll tell you!" Shen Feiyun said. Then I told the whole thing the ins and outs.

The voice was silent for a long time before he asked softly, "In this way, the Nine Peaks Gate has been destroyed and no longer exists?" ”

"That's right," Shen Feiyun said, "but there are still the four surviving Nine Peak Sect disciples, and now they are under our protection. ”

"Where is such a disciple worthy of being a disciple of my Jiufeng Sect!" The voice lamented and said, "Jiufeng Gate, Jiufeng Gate is gone!" ”

"Aren't you still there, senior?" Shen Feiyun said, "Aren't you the Great Elder of the Nine Peaks Sect? ”

"Me?" The voice smiled bitterly, "I'm already a dying person, let alone being trapped here and waiting for death, even if I get out, what's the point of leaving me alone?" For the sake of Jiufeng Gate, I have been trapped here for three hundred years, but who would have thought that I am not dead, but Jiufeng Gate is gone! ”

"Senior, please tell me about your situation." Shen Feiyun said.

"The Zhu Ping you mentioned," the voice said, "came here a few months ago, until he came to the front of the tower, he brought the token of the head of the sect, and he was also the only general formation order of the Jiufeng Gate, I naturally thought that he was the new sect master, and he also admitted it." I asked him how he hadn't been attacked by the Hellbats, and he said that since he dared to come down, he had his own way. ”

"As the conversation deepened, I found out that he was very unfamiliar with the matter of my Jiufeng Gate, and he wanted me to give him the inheritance and treasure of the Jiufeng Gate, but he didn't agree if I asked him to take me out with a formation order."

"Seeing that I doubted his identity, he began to threaten and lure me, and finally became angry and said that the Jiufeng Gate had been destroyed by him, I knew that it was probably true, otherwise the token of the head of the sect, that is, the formation order, would not fall into his hands."

"But I always hope in my heart he's talking nonsense. Now listening to what you said, the collapse of my Jiufeng Gate has finally been confirmed, in contrast, I naturally don't believe that Zhu Ping trusts you. ”

"Then where is Zhu Ping now?" Shen Feiyun asked.

"I don't know?" The voice said, "He doesn't really care about my heritage and treasures, and of course I don't have any treasures. He hasn't come back to me since. You said he entered here again a dozen days ago? But I didn't see it, and I only had a limited area inside the tower. ”

"Senior," Shen Feiyun said thoughtfully, "Then Zhu Ping's martial arts cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in recent months, I don't know if it has anything to do with seniors?" Please tell us about your situation in detail, and Senior Brother Qingshi said that this will help us break the formation, and we will try our best to help the seniors solve the difficulties. By the way, my name is Shen Feiyun, this formation mage is the junior brother of Qingshi, these three are Chen Tianye, Wu Qinghan and Duan Xiaoyu, may I ask the senior surname Gao? Shen Feiyun is willing to believe this person.

"Okay!" The old voice said slowly: "I know the Heavenly Dragon Academy, since you are the top talents of the Heavenly Dragon Academy, maybe you really have the means to get out of the situation. Since the Nine Peaks Gate no longer exists, there is no need for me to keep secrets anymore. Zhu Ping's cultivation promotion has nothing to do with me, but it is mostly related to demon beasts. My name is Salda, and I was originally the Great Elder of the Nine Peaks Gate......"

Salda slowly recounted the past.

About fifteen or six hundred years ago, the barbarian Jieyang was extremely talented, and later got a big opportunity to break through the Shenyuan Realm in one fell swoop and became one of the top masters on the continent.

Subsequently, Jieyang established the Jiufeng Gate, the reason why the Jiufeng Gate was built here is because of a top-level leyline in this cave, and Jieyang's ability to break through the Shenyuan Realm is also because of this leyline.

Jieyang cultivated disciples in Jiufengmen, and developed his power in Tianwu City and Chaoge, intending to compete for dominance in the world. He built a large number of buildings in this cave and laid out various magic circles to serve as a training place for his disciples, including the thirteen trial towers and a beast suppression tower in the depths of the cave, as well as two beast training fields.

Inside the trial tower is a trial puppet created by Jieyang with high-level array mages and refiners, and Jieyang himself is also a formation mage and refiner.

The Beast Suppression Tower is a magic weapon used to bind a seventh-level Hell Bat spirit beast, and Jieyang plans to use the power of the leylines to evolve this Hell Bat and let it turn into a demon and use it for his own use.

In addition, Jieyang also built two beast training grounds around the trial tower to domesticate spirit beasts, and then use these spirit beasts to train his children. He was originally going to use the leylines to build a defensive array in the entire valley where the Nine Peaks Gate was located, but unfortunately he didn't have time to complete it.

Jieyang's ambitions and various plans were all in vain because of his fall, and no one knew how he fell, and his fall brought the inevitable decline of the Heavenly Nine Peaks Gate.

In the following hundreds of years, several of Jieyang's personal disciples also fell one after another, and the strength of Jiufengmen weakened day by day.

After Jieyang's death, the Jiufeng Gate no longer replenished the spirit beasts to the cave, and as time went by, the spirit beasts used to temper the disciples were all dead, and in the end, only the hell bats that were bound by the Beast Suppression Tower remained.

Since Jieyang's death, no one has been able to restrain the hell bat, so it can only be left alone, but fortunately, it can't hurt anyone if it is bound by the Beast Suppression Tower.

Later, the disciples had no spirit beasts to kill, so they could only rely on entering the trial tower to cultivate. After that, there were no more outstanding talents in Jiufengmen, and the strength of Jiufengmen continued to decline, and finally withdrew from Chaoge and Tianwu City.

More than 300 years ago, Jiufengmen finally had signs of ZTE, and his disciple Yu Jackie Chan was extremely talented, and after learning from Xiaocheng, he traveled and met a group of like-minded and talented friends, including Salda.

Later, Yu Chenglong returned to Jiufengmen to take over as the master, and these friends also followed him to Jiufengmen, Jiufengmen has such a top leyline but can't cultivate good talents.

This made Yu Jackie Chan unwilling.

They practiced diligently, and their strength improved quickly, and it was only fifty years since they returned to Jiufengmen, Yu Chengchan and Salda were already masters of the Jindan realm, and several other elders had also stepped into the realm of the Yuandan realm.

The catastrophe came from the seventh-level spirit beast Hell Bat, while the Jiufeng Gate was declining day by day, the Hell Bat was using the leylines to cultivate and become stronger and stronger, and finally, about fifty years after Jackie Chan took over the Jiufeng Gate, it upgraded again and broke through the seventh-level confinement of the spirit beast and evolved into a demon beast.

Thanks to Jieyang's binding to the Beast Suppression Tower connected to the leylines, this hell bat can use the spiritual power of the leylines to cultivate without limits, and then evolve into a demon beast.

However, after evolving into a demon beast, it still couldn't break free from the rope created by Jieyang, and this rope also restricted it from continuing to improve its cultivation, making it difficult for it to use the leylines to cultivate.

As a result, the Hellbats that want to continue to improve their cultivation and eventually break free from the ropes can only achieve their goals by eating.

Just as human monks can eat the flesh, bones, blood pills, etc. of spirit beasts to improve themselves, spirit beasts can certainly also eat monks to improve themselves. For this Hell Bat Demon Beast, the disciple who ate the Nine Peaks Sect was the only choice.

Originally, under the restriction of the rope, as long as people do not enter its range of activities, it will not be able to catch people, but the hell bats that evolved into demon beasts have also evolved new skills, one is poisonous mist, and the other is that it can produce small beasts without mating. With these two abilities, it would be easy to catch the disciples of the Nine Peaks Sect again.

Evolved into a demon beast has a human-like spiritual intelligence, this demon beast is very smart, it does not eat all the disciples who enter the cave at once, but is very patient to secretly catch one every few days to eat.

At this time, the Jiufeng Sect was a thriving scene, there were thousands of disciples under the sect, and there were many disciples who entered the cave to cultivate, and there were often disciples who stayed in the trial tower for ten days and half a month, so this demon beast ate dozens of disciples in a few years without being noticed.

However, there is always a time when things are exposed, and once, the demon beast sent a few small beasts to catch a disciple who had just come out of the trial tower, but the sneak attack was not discovered by this disciple.

This disciple shouted a warning, so all the disciples in the cave knew, there were fifty or sixty disciples in the cave at that time, including Yu Chengchan's three sons.

These disciples worked together to kill these little beasts, and the Hell Bat Demon Beast had no choice but to release all the other hundreds of little beasts, and used the Ecstasy Technique to influence the disciples of the Jiufeng Sect, hoping to wipe out these disciples.

In the end, most of the disciples were either dead or captured, and six disciples escaped into the two trial towers and were trapped in them. Only one disciple escaped from the cave and returned to the surface, but he was also seriously injured and died after reporting the situation.

Yu Chenglong learned that there were hundreds of hell bats in the cave, and he knew that most of them were the hell bats that were tied to the Beast Town Tower, but he didn't know that it would also emit poisonous mist (originally the ghost bats were only poisonous with teeth and claws), and he didn't know that the hell bats had been restricted by the ropes and could no longer use the leylines to cultivate.

Of course, Yu Chenglong knew the danger of the hell bat, and he originally intended to wait for himself and the disciples to become stronger before finding a way to solve this hidden danger, but now he had to act in advance.

Yu Chenglong and the elders of Jiufengmen agreed that waiting any longer would only make the hell bats stronger and stronger and break free. Besides, he also hopes to save the surviving disciples, including his own son.

So, Yu Chengchan summoned the nine elders and sixteen outstanding disciples to enter the cave together in an attempt to kill the demon beast.

After a bloody battle, Yu Chenglong and the others found that this demon beast was so powerful that they couldn't deal with it at all, especially that it could release a large area of poisonous mist, and before that, it didn't use the poisonous mist to deal with those disciples, so Yu Chenglong and they didn't know this.

After being surrounded by poisonous mist, the people of Jiufeng Gate suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, the Great Elder and the Sixth Elder were poisoned and injured, and they each fled into a trial tower. Yu Jackie Chan fled back to the ground, but was also poisoned and seriously injured. The other elders and all sixteen disciples were all killed in battle.

After escaping, Yu Chenglong activated the stone gate magic circle set up by Jieyang, and ordered the gate people to be forbidden to enter the cave. He died of poison the next day (they didn't know about Salda, but he guessed it).

Inside the cave, the Great Elder Salda finally did not die from the poisonous wounds, but his vitality was also greatly injured and his cultivation plummeted, and he was trapped alone in the central trial tower.

The six elders were trapped in another trial tower, and with him were two disciples, two of the six disciples who had fled into the trial tower in the first place. With their help, the six elders also survived, but their cultivation also plummeted.

In addition, there was also a trial tower with four disciples who had originally escaped in, including Yu Jackie Chan's youngest son.

Yu Chenglong sealed the cave, and the Hell Bat Demon could no longer eat people, so it negotiated with the people in the three trial towers to make them its own demon slaves, and then went out to the outside world to bring people back to it to eat, and Salda and the others naturally preferred to die rather than give in.

The Hell Bat Demon didn't expect them to agree, but after it had spiritual intelligence, it was extremely smart, so it began to study the Demon Suppression Tower and the rope that Jieyang had laid to bind it, and after a few decades, it actually mastered some methods of manipulating the leylines to break the formation and dissolve the formation.

So, it first destroyed the leyline connection of a trial tower, and the trial tower that lost the protection of the leylines was quickly breached, and the four disciples in the tower, including Yu Chengchan's youngest son, were all captured by the hell bat beast and made the hell bat demon's dinner.

After a few more years, the second stone tower was also destroyed by the leyline connection, and the three people in this trial tower, including the six elders, resisted for more than a month, and finally ran out of resources, and the tower was captured and all went into the belly of the hell bat demon.

After all, the Great Elder Salda is experienced and has a higher cultivation, when he escaped, he did not choose the peripheral trial tower, but chose the central trial tower, this tower's defense is naturally the strongest, so it can better resist the destruction of the hell bat demon.

What's more, Salda himself is a third-level array mage, and he has also participated in the construction of these trial towers, so he can rely on the stone towers to resist the Hell Bat Demon for three hundred years on his own.

Over the years, the strength of the Hell Bat Demon has not been able to improve, but its understanding of the Dao has been slowly improving.

Salda is also constantly cultivating martial arts and studying the formation path, but because the toxins in his body have not been eradicated, Salda has almost been unable to advance an inch in either the martial arts or the formation path, and most of his lifespan has gone.

And the Hell Bat Demon is not only improving its ability to crack the Beast Suppression Tower's magic circle, but its lifespan is even longer than 10,000 years. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before we get out of trouble.

Even if it can't understand the way to crack it, the long years will help it erode and corrupt the Beast Suppression Tower, not to mention that its little beasts can also use the leylines to grow and help it destroy the Beast Suppression Tower.
