Judging from the current intelligence, the other party used this set of formation that hurt the heavens and reason, the purpose was to snatch the essence of living beings, in that case, he would inevitably find a way to find more martial artists to absorb the essence qi.

Now the other party is still in Luling City and has not left, which means that many martial arts forces that are still in Luling City are his targets.

Mingjiao must be the same, maybe even a group like Wei Wushu is vigorous.

However, Wei Wushu's military camps are all in relatively secret places outside Luling City, and it is not so easy for this Taoist from Shangxian Gate to find them.

After such a comprehensive measurement, the most likely changes to occur are in their martial arts forces, and there is a high probability that they will make more decisions about Mingjiao in the future.

"Gao Yanshi, let the guards gather the people of the Ming Sect and let everyone outside go to the main hall. In the next few days, the king will be there, and Zhang Yi will be fully responsible for the affairs in the county at that time, and he will talk about it when the king comes back. Zhao Hongming stood up from the long case and said urgently.

"The slave knows, His Royal Highness the Martial King." Gao Yanshi took a step back and said respectfully.

Zhao Hongming said calmly: "If there is an emergency, you can consult with General Wu Qi." ”

Now I don't know what happened to Shangxianmen, and now it's starting to be unscrupulous.

However, there is no doubt that Shangxianmen colluded with the Wang family and Chen Jiazhuang before, and the plan was very big.

If you leave it alone, you don't know what will happen next, and you have to deal with it as soon as possible.

Such instability is not allowed in his fiefdom.

Zhao Hongming walked out of the Taihe Hall alone and handed over the rest of the things in the palace to Gao Yanshi.

Gao Yanshi's understanding is very good, and after such a long time of adaptation, he has been able to take charge on his own.

After explaining most of the affairs, Zhao Hongming wore a strong suit and went to the main hall of the Ming Sect alone.

At first, Mingjiao had only five halls, but after continuous annexation, the number of halls of Mingjiao has expanded to nine, so it is necessary to set up a main hall.

The main hall of Mingjiao is located in a large mansion in Luling City, although the area is not as large as the palace, but it is not small in the whole Luling City.

In the main hall of the Ming Sect, there are not many disciples among them now.

Most of the disciples were sent out by him to investigate the matter of Shangxianmen.

Zhao Hongming quickly rushed to the door of the main hall.

Before he entered, there was a tingling sensation in the soul outside the courtyard, and even a bloody breath appeared in the courtyard from the gap.

In normal times, there will basically be two disciples guarding the door here, and no matter how bad it is, there will be two disciples.

And now, the doorway is empty.

Zhao Hongming instantly had a bad premonition.

Even if most of the disciples were sent out by him, they wouldn't even have a single disciple.

Could it be that it was the old way of Shangxianmen who did it?

Zhao Hongming's face became gloomy.

He knew that this matter was sooner or later, the Ming Sect was the largest martial arts force in Luling City, and if the old Dao of the Shangxian Sect really wanted to obtain the essence, the Ming Sect was the main target, and it would be difficult for him to escape.

Just when Zhao Hongming had not yet entered the main hall, the disciples of the Ming Sect hurriedly came.

From his mouth, he learned that there were other small halls in the Ming Sect, and seven or eight people were all turned into dried corpses, and only those disciples who were sent out by him escaped by luck.

Now that I have discovered an anomaly, I hurriedly came to report it.

In just one day, Mingjiao had accidents one after another.

Zhao Hongming's eyes became even colder.

However, fortunately, most of the disciples of the Ming Sect were turned into Wei Wushu by him, and most of the people were also sent out by him at the moment, and they did not gather together.

It is very difficult for the Taoists of the Upper Immortal Gate to catch them all.

It was probably Zhao Hongming who asked Gao Yanshi to pass on the message, and soon many high-level members of the Ming Sect received his message and rushed back from everywhere.

"Master!"

When all these high-level officials rushed over, they found Zhao Hongming standing at the door, without saying a word, and each stepped forward to salute.

"What are you...... Why don't you go into the main hall? ”

Zhao Hongming diverted the topic and asked, "How are you doing outside today?" ”

Hearing Zhao Hongming's inquiry, these high-level members of the Ming Sect turned pale and said: "Judging from the information that I haven't found now, the Daoists in the Immortal Gate are very strong, especially the longevity Daoists in the Sect, it is said that they may have mastered the Immortal Dao. ”

"Sect Master, most of the previous outcasts outside the city have been refined by the Shangxian Sect, this is too weird, and it is not something that a martial artist can deal with."

Zhao Hongming did not speak after listening.

These martial arts forces he annexed did not belong to the camp of the Wang family or to Chen Shenghai's camp, and the Shangxian Sect had very little contact with them, and did not know about the Life Extension Conference.

As for the life extension conference, Zhao Hongming knows something.

At this time, a Ming Church Master proposed: "Sect Master, I have prepared a team of chariots and horses, and I also have a hidden manor outside the city, as long as the Sect Master gives an order, we can all go to avoid the limelight and not have a hard time with it." ”

"We have wine, meat, and beautiful women in that manor, which is enough to make thousands of people live for a month."

"No need." Zhao Hongming suddenly spoke: "The people from the Immortal Gate have arrived, and they are inside. ”

The hall master who spoke was stunned.

"What?"

Not only him, but also everyone else had a hint of emotion on their faces.

Zhao Hongming glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "What? Scared? ”

In front of the sect leader, it is impossible for these people to say anything even if they are afraid in their hearts.

"It's just a Taoist priest who goes to the Immortal Gate, what's so terrible, we will advance and retreat with the sect leader."

"We too, advance and retreat with the sect leader, and advance and retreat with the Ming Sect."

“……”

At the door of the main hall of the Ming Sect, all the core high-level leaders of the Ming Sect expressed their attitudes to Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming has a full view of the performance of these people, and he already knows it in his heart.

These people are all halfway monks, and it is he who got together with his strong strength, and his loyalty is very suspicious.

Mingjiao has no doctrines, and there are no reliable and advanced martial arts techniques, so there is no foundation at all.

What such an organization would look like, Zhao Hongming could think clearly with a little use of his brain.

However, Zhao Hongming didn't care too much about this.

Wei Wushu is his core and reliance, and this Mingjiao is just his trick and a hidden identity.

When his cultivation reaches a high enough realm, and Wei Wushu also reaches a stable state, then it doesn't matter whether this Mingjiao is dead or alive.

However, He Jinlong and Pei Zhaoan, who were the first to join the Ming Sect, had a worried face and didn't know what they were thinking.

"Let's go, let's all go in."

Zhao Hongming's eyes signaled, looking at a hall master who had just expressed his loyalty.

The latter understood, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little far-fetched, and he stepped forward and pressed his hands against the door.

At the gate, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

All of their attention fell on him, looking at the dark door.

The steward strained his hands.

Click......

The door of the main hall of the Ming Sect was slowly pushed up.

As the door opened, the door became quieter and quieter.

Behind the gate is a shadow wall.

Zhao Hongming walked in front and walked over with everyone.

The main hall was empty and quiet.

He Jinlong took a few subordinates, and without Zhao Hongming's orders, he directly ordered: "Check!" ”

He could see that Zhao Hongming didn't care about them, which made him very insecure.

He still thought about following Zhao Hongming closely, and now he couldn't be left behind.

Now that Zhao Hongming is in front of him, if he doesn't show it at this time, when will he wait?

He took the lead, and the rest of the people followed suit, and each of them let his subordinates take action.

Although the yard is large, there are many places where you can see it all at a glance.

After a while, this main hall of Mingjiao was checked by them.

"Muslim master, there is no one."

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongming frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

At present, the people who are still in the main hall are some low-level Ming Sect disciples, and they are very likely to be killed.

It's understandable that you can't find these people, but it's not like there's no corpse.

What's more, when he was at the door, he noticed that the people who went to the Immortal Gate should not have left yet.

He let go of his soul and searched carefully, and found that there was indeed a strange and evil aura in it.

But the strange thing is that this breath is far and near, making him a little elusive.

Kiss......

Suddenly, in the void, there was a dull sound.

It made many high-ranking Mingjiao officials, hall masters, stewards and others who entered the hall nervous and looked around.

Some ordinary disciples directly pulled out the matching knives hanging from their waists and waited for them.

A dreary, oppressive atmosphere permeated the crowd.

"Check it out and see if there's anything missing."

Pei Zhaoan and the others' faces became a little unpleasant.

There was a strange smell everywhere in the main hall.

Kiss......

There was another dull noise.

Zhao Hongming's face became gloomy, his spirit began to be highly concentrated, and a pair of eyes scanned around.

The people below began to get flustered.

He Jinlong asked anxiously, "Have you found it?" ”

There were only a few dozen people entering the courtyard, and his voice was strong and penetrating, and everyone could hear it.

But no one replied to him.

He Jinlong shouted: "What about the people, where are they all dead? ”

A disciple below swallowed a mouthful of spit and said nervously, "Hall Master...... We...... It seems that we are missing someone, and Atay is gone. ”

When He Jinlong heard this, his face changed, and he carefully counted the people he brought over, and there was indeed one less.

The smell of fear began to spread among the crowds, and many became terrified.

None of them were stupid enough to guess what was going on.

Standing behind Zhao Hongming, the faces of the various hall masters and deacons became more and more ugly one by one.

Bang!

In an instant, there was a loud bang behind everyone.

The door that had just been opened slammed shut as if someone had slammed it shut in front of him.

The latch of the gate also fell automatically, locking them all in the courtyard.

"Master!"

Many of the high-level cores of the Ming Sect began to become six gods and masterless, and looked at Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming was silent, and his eyes kept wandering somewhere in the void.

The crowd quickly fell silent.

Some people were bolder, and some couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, so he snorted coldly and walked over in the direction that Zhao Hongming was staring at.

Everyone present saw an incredible scene.

A large living person disappeared silently in front of them, and there was no abnormal sound at all.

"Immortal Dao Formation!"

Someone muttered to themselves in fear.

Whoa!

The panic in the crowd was even stronger, and each of them drew all the swords in their hands.

He Jinlong tried to calm everyone's emotions and shouted, "The sect leader is here, don't panic. ”

But in the face of the test of life and death, any language is pale and powerless.

His words didn't make any difference.

The faces of those present were still full of horror, and even some of those who were not good at concentration had turned pale and trembled.

Zhao Hongming's face was expressionless.

He now recognized that they were now in a blinding formation.

There is a description of this type of formation in the Dao Sutra of the Broken Rear Formation.

It's actually not difficult to break this formation, but Zhao Hongming obviously doesn't want to break it immediately.

While observing the situation, he used the Formation Dao Sutra to carve another set of formations on his body.

This formation is called the Qi Sea Seal Divine Array, and it is a set of formations that are diametrically opposed to the Nine Snake Essence Capture Array.

The Nine Snake Essence Snatching Array focuses on plundering the essence qi, while the Qi Sea Seal Divine Array focuses on consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, consolidating the qi and blood of the whole body.

Judging from the subtlety of the formation, the Qi Sea Seal Divine Array was superior to the Nine Snake Essence Winning Array.

And after the strengthening of the [Heavenly Dao Reward] martial arts attribute panel, you can use the national fortune to replace the aura, which is more suitable for the world after the collapse of the Heavenly Dao.

Zhao Hongming stood in front of everyone expressionlessly.

His divine consciousness was constantly wandering within his body, constantly carving array eyes in various acupuncture points and other important places.

Over and over again.

Kiss......

A dull sound sounded for the third time.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

An eerie laugh rang out from in front of the crowd.

The laughter was like an invisible hand pinching the throats of those present, making the scene silent.

Zhao Hongming looked at the source of his laughter.

An old Taoist in a Taoist robe appeared in front of them.

Everyone gasped.

This Taoist can no longer be called a human at this time.

His eyes were blood-red and bloodshot, and above them there was another pair of eyes, strange and seeping.

And his neck is covered with tumors-like hard objects, and if you look closely, you will find that there are vague faces that have not yet been formed.

At this moment, Zhao Hongming's Qi Sea Seal Divine Array had been engraved.

After he saw the figure of the old man of the Xianmen, he slowly walked out in front of everyone and approached the other party step by step.

Zhao Hongming's face was very calm, without any fear.

It turned out that he wanted to set a trap to hunt and kill this Shangxian Sect Taoist.

But plans can't keep up with the changes.

At this point, any means and traps are meaningless.

You can only fight by strength.

An extra pair of eyes on the forehead of the Daoist of the Upper Immortal Sect stared at Zhao Hongming with a strange look.

"A lot of people...... The quality is so good...... Especially you ......"

The voice of the old man was layered, as if there were countless people talking at the same time, which was terrifying.

"I'm going to become an immortal...... Don't let any of you try to escape. ”

Shangxianmen Lao Dao took out a sword, and a lot of saliva flowed out of his mouth, dripping to the ground.

On Zhao Hongming's calm face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said loudly: "It's such a coincidence, I think so too, don't think about running away today." ”

The face of the Upper Immortal Sect Daoist was stunned, and he did not see the expected fear on Zhao Hongming's face.

I saw an indifferent smile on Zhao Hongming's face, and his figure accelerated suddenly.

Bang!

Eighteen cyan arms emerged in a single breath, and suddenly merged into one giant hand.

A huge and incomparable force, wrapped in a whistling wind, fell on the chest of the old Dao of Shangxianmen.

Martial Courage Realm Martial Arts, eighteen times the power of the Law Phase, exploded in an instant.

In Shangxianmen, the old Taoist body has a metallic texture.

A pale golden shield appeared on the surface of his skin, wanting to block Zhao Hongming's magic fist.

Zhao Hongming's strength is already terrifying, and there are not many people who can stop him, but this Shangxian Daoist is not that kind of ordinary person, and his cultivation is a different system, which is different from the martial arts.

The golden light shield that emerged from the surface of his skin was able to block Zhao Hongming's punch to the death.

However, Zhao Hongming's strength obviously does not stop there.

Martial art [Shattered Mountain] is activated.

Zhao Hongming's cultivation is the Eight Desolation Immortal Skills, and his true intent is extremely strong, and at the same time, he can use the weak aura that exists in the void to live endlessly.

Countless immortal true intentions were gathered by Zhao Hongming on the fist of the law phase.

The true intent of immortality, which had been suppressed to the extreme, gathered in his Dharma Phase, and exploded at the same time.

Rumble!

The golden light shield on the surface of the skin of the Upper Immortal Sect Daoist shattered and shattered in an instant.

He let out a terrible scream, and the whole person flew upside down, disappeared into the formation, and disappeared.

Zhao Hongming sneered: "Carving insect skills! ”

His figure swayed and appeared somewhere in the backyard.

His right hand clenched into a fist and slammed into the void.

Click!

The sound of glass shattering came from it.

The blinding formation in the courtyard disappeared like a mirror, revealing the embarrassed figure of the old Dao of Shangxianmen.

Along with it, the corpses of many Mingjiao disciples were revealed.

The Daoist of the Upper Immortal Sect showed a vicious look on his face and gritted his teeth.

He threw the long sword in his hand and levitated in midair.

At this time, the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram appeared at the tail of the sword, and slowly turned.

With a broken drink, the long sword flew towards Zhao Hongming as if it had received some command.

This flying sword is so fast that people don't have time to dodge.

Poof!

The long sword was thrust head-on into Zhao Hongming's chest.

When the long sword was about twenty inches away from Zhao Hongming, an invisible barrier blocked the long sword from the outside.

The defensive formation of the National Fortune was used to operate automatically, and Zhao Hongming's defense was included in it.

The fortune of a country is the convergence of the thoughts of thousands of people in a country, and it is as important as a thousand pounds.

Where can an ordinary weapon withstand such a weight?

Under the gaze of the Immortal Daoist, the long sword in his hand bent little by little, and the power of the Immortal Dao engraved on it melted little by little like snow encountering the blazing sun, and finally collapsed into countless fragments.

"Wow!"

The long sword was destroyed, and the old Dao of Shangxianmen couldn't help but suffer the backlash, and spit out a mouthful of dirty blood in his throat.

Martial arts are unleashed.

Zhao Hongming's figure kept changing, and suddenly appeared in front of the Daoist of the Upper Immortal Sect.

The cyan arm reappeared, and with a terrifying explosive power, it smashed into the old Taoist's body again.

The Daoist of Shangxianmen, who had just vomited blood and had not yet recovered, was beaten to the ground under Zhao Hongming's punch, and even his chest collapsed.

Zhao Hongming stood in front of him.

When the old Taoist of Shangxian Gate saw this scene, his face was full of disbelief.

He gritted his teeth and urged the formation of the Nine Dragons Essence Snatching Array.

In some corners of the yard, the pole pennant was automatically windless and operational.

This heaven and earth seems to have condensed two large grinding discs, which are wearing down the essence of the creatures here.

A sucking force burst out of it.

There were many Ming Sect disciples who only felt that their whole body was hot, and a red silk-like aura was peeled off from their bodies.

"Ah......h

Someone screamed.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest of Shangxian Gate showed a smug look on his face.

"Is this your last hole card?"

Zhao Hongming's lips opened and closed, and he spat out Sen Ran's words.

"What?"

The Qi Sea Seal Divine Array was launched.

In the sight of the Daoist of the Upper Immortal Sect, a white luster appeared on Zhao Hongming's body, which offset the plundering power of the Nine Snake Essence Snatching Array.

Zhao Hongming exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the arm that appeared behind him split in two.

The Daoist of the Upper Immortal Gate watched as his aura began to skyrocket.

Before he could react, two cyan arms had already rained down on him, and he felt a sharp pain.

Bang bang......

Every time Zhao Hongming dropped a punch, he launched the martial art [Shattered Yue].

That is, each punch he threw increased his power by three or four times.

Zhao Hongming's state is as crazy as a madman.

"Ahh

The Daoist of the Shangxian Sect let out a terrible scream, he kept struggling, trying to get up from the ground, but under Zhao Hongming's suppression, he couldn't do it at all.

Under Zhao Hongming's suppression, the Nine Dragons Essence Snatching Array, which had just been in operation, stagnated or even collapsed.

Behind him, many of the core and high-level leaders of the Ming Sect who had relieved their breath saw this scene and were stunned for a long time.

The scene became audible.

Only Zhao Hongming is left with his fists.

Under Zhao Hongming's body, the Daoist of Shangxianmen was already shattered, and his whole body was covered in blood.

The extra pair of eyes on his forehead had been tightly closed, and he didn't dare to open them again.

Zhao Hongming was quite disappointed and said: "I thought you were so powerful, but it turned out to be like this." ”

"You...... ...... the hell Who is it...... Why is the Life Extension Array useless to you? ”

Zhao Hongming smiled: "I'm just a vulgar martial artist. Can't you see that? It's just that I'm just different from other martial artists, and my combat power is a little higher. ”

After speaking, Zhao Hongming looked down at the old Taoist and said: "I heard that you like to plunder other people's essence very much, it just so happens that I have a lot of mine, why don't you give it all to you?" ”

The cyan arm that appeared behind him merged into one.

Under Zhao Hongming's consciousness, a pair of big hands slowly covered the face of the Taoist of the Upper Immortal Gate.

There was a hint of madness on his face.

A large amount of immortal true intent gathered in him, constantly expanding.

The Daoist of the Upper Immortal Sect expected that something bad would happen next, and he said frantically: "No! ”

However, it was too late.

Martial art [Shattered Mountain] is activated!

Rumble!

A large amount of immortal true intent erupted, and all of them poured on the body of the Upper Immortal Sect Daoist, completely bursting his head.

Zhao Hongming said coldly: "It's too weak, and if I lose it, I'm like a big enemy." ”
