Jiang Yun manifested out of the immortal mountain, the mountains are stacked, majestic and majestic, there are towering ancient trees, bridges across the valley, the canyon is deep and quiet, ten thousand gullies are flowing, and the stream is murmuring.

The rising sun illuminates the mountains, and the orange-red glow quickly spreads out in all directions, creating a colorful scene that gives a sense of peace and tranquility.

The morning glow is sprinkled in the mountains and forests, and the rich essence of life is floating in the forest, the clouds are soaring, and the mysterious light is shrouded.

Now that the earth is too barren, Jiang Yun took out a few spiritual springs and placed them on this mountain for everyone's daily cultivation, just like a holy place for cultivation.

This is now a focus of attention in Middle-earth, after Jiang Yun announced the matter of the Western Expedition, monks from all walks of life came to sign up, and there are thousands of cultivators on the Immortal Mountain, including the human race and the demon race.

Some of these monks were young and vigorous, with bright eyes; Some are a little older, but they appear calm and mature; Others are old, but they are physically strong and full of energy.

With the help of the rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi on the Immortal Mountain, everyone was practicing silently, and many people had never felt such a strong Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and they were almost about to turn into a liquid state.

Jiang Yun didn't stop them, there was some pity in his heart, in Beidou, even the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of Yan Country could be like this, but they were like heavenly graces, and they didn't want to waste a minute or a second.

These thousands of monks breathed in the essence of heaven and earth, forming a tide of energy in the mountains, and people couldn't help but feel a surge of vigorous life essence.

Their practice seems to set the whole mountain range on fire, filling the whole place with life and vitality, a sight that has not been seen for many years.

"With such a strong heaven and earth essence qi and a spirit fruit, Senior Jiang is really a saint in the world!"

"The air here is so sweet, I can practice here until I die!"

"Praise Jiang 'Sage'!"

Jiang Yun and a few masters walked in the mountains, selecting monks to participate in the battle, these gathered monks were extremely enthusiastic, and he could get thanks and praise when he walked there, Jiang Yun was a little uncomfortable.

However, not everyone can participate in the Western Expedition, at least to reach the existence above the four poles, and Jiang Yun has not expelled the others.

"Thousands of monks practicing together, a grand scene that I haven't heard of for many years!"

Qiri Daoist stroked the purple gold crown on his forehead, looked at the surging spiritual energy tide in the mountain, and said with a sigh, they must not be able to support so many people in Zhongnan Mountain.

"We didn't expect that there would be nearly a thousand monks above the four poles in Middle-earth, which was more lively than the Cultivators' Conference, and we could gather here today!"

Kunlun's Snow Dust Sect Leader sighed, the environment of heaven and earth is getting worse and worse now, and there is no place that can withstand the consumption of so many monks.

"The cultivator conference, the Scattered Cultivation Hermit Sect will not participate, and there are also masters among them!"

Only Jiang Yun, a local tyrant from Beidou, can attract these people to appear.

In today's Middle Earth Daomen, Hualong is the peerless figure in charge of the ranks of the sect, Sendai is even more extremely desirable, and the four poles are the mainstay of most sects.

In this situation on Earth, even if a small sect has a four-pole secret realm cultivator as its leader, it is already a very remarkable thing.

And now, just because of Jiang Yun's words, there are nearly a thousand such monks gathered here.

The people who came, in addition to the fifty others, also had the defeat of Middle-earth decades ago, and needed to vent it.

"Actually, over the years, it's not that we don't want to welcome back the ancestral weapon, but the strength of the top cultivators in Middle-earth is not as strong as in the West, and we have more than enough strength but not enough strength!"

Thousands of monks gathered here, because of Jiang Yun's return, they regained confidence in their hearts, made up for the lack of top-level combat power, and Middle-earth was not afraid of the West at all.

"Didn't Middle-earth follow the example of the West and unite the power of faith and launch one or two supreme monks?"

Ye Fan looked at the Dragon Tiger Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and several masters of the Lingbao Sect, and asked curiously.

Knowing the gap in faith and mental power, why didn't you think about catching up?

"There is no way, there are many strong people in Middle Earth, Taoism is even divided into dozens or hundreds of sects, and they are not convinced by each other, even the revered Sanqing Dao Zun is the result of mutual compromise, not to mention the demon clan, in the absence of a god system that convinces everyone, the forces of all parties are contradictory and opposed to each other."

The old Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain said with a wry smile.

"Even though there are many faiths, to whom does the incense belong? It is the land, the city god, the mountain god, the king of Hades, the second master of Guan, the heavenly master, the god of wealth, the god of the door, the god of the stove, the dragon king...... Queen Mother, God...... Or the Three Qings, the Emperor Tianhou soil? Are the gods that people worship too mixed? Unlike in the West, where a God or a church can be done simply. ”

Maoshan Sect Leader couldn't help but complain, did they not want to? The incense that came together was too cluttered to be used.

The essence of heaven and earth is gradually depleted, the spiritual energy required for cultivation is decreasing, and the population continues to increase, and the rational use of pure mental power is particularly important, and the important thing is purity.

Jiang Yun also felt that his head was big, and after careful consideration, it was indeed the case.

Although these gods may not really exist, they are enough to illustrate a problem, the power of Middle-earth is huge, and they are independent, not only including the demon clan, but even Taoism itself is opposed to each other and has no unity.

It is precisely because of the large number of strong people and the large number of sects that it also provides the possibility for the introduction of foreign beliefs, and Buddhism has successfully rushed into Middle-earth.

However, the cultivators of Middle-earth relied on their own Dao cultivation and did not rely on external belief powers, but instead cultivated more powerful supernatural powers of the same level.

It's just that the great supernatural powers are gone, otherwise there will be no distinction between East and West.

"It's all modern now, don't people in the West advocate freedom? How can you continue to believe in God with all your might? ”

Jiang Yun raised a question, under the development of the times, the impact of the flood of information on a person is huge, although the population of the West is gradually increasing, but the belief is no longer as firm as before.

"I know the palace master, I have to say that the group of people in the West can play, light and darkness are opposed to each other, and the Pope is in charge of hell with his left hand, which makes the world tremble and fear; But his right hand supports the church, bringing hope and warmth to the people, so as to harvest the faith in a big way. ”

Huang Tiannu suddenly appeared beside Jiang Yun, she is very active these days, as soon as Jiang Yun appears, she will immediately follow, Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know.

However, Jiang Yun did not dislike it, if it was a male cultivator, he would definitely serve with big-eared melon seeds, but who made the Phoenix Heavenly Girl a well-behaved and lovely female goblin?

"Only after experiencing enough despair will we look forward to the light even more, but we don't know that these despairs and hopes are all brought by the same group of people, and all of them are just means to purify their faith!"

Kunlun's Yan Xiaoyu was also brought out by Kunlun's Palm Sect, she is beautiful and moving, and she is usually the image of a lady and fairy, but when it comes to the church, she is very disgusted with the practices of that group of people, and her vicious appearance has a different flavor.

After some inspection, Jiang Yun selected many four-pole monks, and also selected a few young monks of the Dao Palace realm who wanted to join, all of whom were young and handsome.

They want to follow the experience and want to improve, there is nothing wrong with it, Jiang Yun did not refuse.

"Ready to go!"

In the end, Jiang Yun stood on the top of the mountain, after the words of the last time he called for the Western Expedition, ten days had passed, and for the monks who were interested in it, even if they climbed, they had all come, and there was little point in continuing to wait.

"Boom!"

At the top of the peak, the sky is falling, as if a saint has come to the world, the divine glow covers the sky, full of brilliant and peaceful air, if there is no Taoist chanting voice from nine days away, it makes people have an epiphany.

"Brush! Brush! Brush! ”

Thousands of monks gathered here after receiving the signal, and they were ready to travel at any time, and this trip was not a death sentence, but would be of great benefit.

"Traveling west is to welcome back the lost ancestral weapons of Middle Earth, and it is also to select the quota to go to the outside of the territory in the future, but the battle between the monks is not involving the mundane, Wang'er and others should keep in mind!"

Jiang Yuntian's voice was deafening, like a divine thunder rumbling and exploding, and everyone was enlightened, and he was reminding him that no one would violate this precept and cause unbearable consequences.

"Don't get involved in mortal dust, you will win, and you will be fruitful!"

On the top of the mountain, one after another monks shouted loudly, resounding through the sky, there was a kind of spirit that swallowed mountains and rivers, and the leaders of all parties stood in front of the team, looking a little trance-like, and finally waited for the day of shame!

"Let's go!"

When the group went down the mountain, they were all above the four poles, and Jiang Yun set up a formation to connect everyone into an immortal whole, and rode out of the clouds and rushed towards the west.

"Jiang Daoyou, how are we going to walk westward this time, first uproot the ancient families along the way, and then pass by."

Kunlun Sect Leader Xuechen is very familiar with the forces of the West, because they are relatively close to the West, and they have not considered the issue of the route before, out of confidence in Jiang Yun's strength.

"There's no need for such trouble, go straight to the church, and then radiate everywhere."

Jiang Yun said flatly, except for the ancestral artifact of the lost Middle Earth, there was not much else that could attract him.

Bringing these thousand Middle-earth monks is to let them expand their results, and what other gains they can have is up to them, without those top strongmen, no one can resist these monks in Middle-earth.

"Can you take the Vatican directly without cutting off the wings?"

Some thoughts could not help but rise in the hearts of the people, but they did not refute it, they did not know the true essence of the West.

They continued to move westward, gradually moving away from the central region, first entering the green area, and then directly through the snowy area, thus entering the western gate.

The Vatican, known as the land of the prophets, is a blessed place in the West, and carries the mysterious power of countless myths and legends.

Not long after they left Middle-earth, the news of the 1,400 Pole Monks' expedition to the west spread all over the place, shaking the entire Western Dao system!

Jiang Yun first broke the crusade sent by the Pope, and then the news of the Western Expedition came out, and now it has only spread in the West for a short time, but he didn't expect to take the base camp of the Holy See directly!

How arrogant is this, and I underestimate them, even if the army marches among the mortals to be a little hungry, are they not afraid of being lost here?

"His Holiness the Pope has issued an order, and the ancient knights of all races have gathered in the Holy See to re-form the invincible Crusader Legion, and they will not return!"

"But I heard that thousands of monks from above the four poles came to Middle-earth!"

"What?! Thousands, how is this possible, we have accumulated for so many years, and the four poles are only hundreds! ”

"Don't worry, although we are not numerous, but the paladins of the Dark Ages and the great Pope are all in the Holy See, all the great power is their own, the strong against the weak, it is just a massacre!"

On the one hand, they were terrified of the thousand four-pole monks who had appeared in Middle-earth, and their so-called ancient family, the strongest of which was only the four poles, and on the other hand, they were full of confidence in the pope.

Although the West has gathered infinite mental power, it is barely supporting those top powerhouses, as well as the gods who have never left in ancient times, and their middle and lower classes have not taken much advantage.

In the Vatican, the land of the prophets, the sacred and vast land is shrouded in holy radiance, and angels sing hymns.

All kinds of magical flowers and plants are in full bloom, the towering sacred mountain is filled with precious medicinal herbs, and pure-blooded unicorns wander the forest.

This land has been a garden of peace since ancient times, and is full of not only elves, giants, but also extinct strange dragon species, full of breathtaking recklessness.

Further away is a bottomless dragon pond, where waterfalls cascade down from thousands of feet in the sky, and dozens of majestic peaks rise, each engraved with natural road marks, which is different.

And at the top of each mountain there is a magnificent temple, which has survived the changes of time and still stands today, exuding an air of vicissitudes and solemnity.

In this place, one can feel a kind of ancient majesty, which has maintained its sacredness and majesty despite the passage of time.

This is the blessed land of heaven where the Holy See is truly located, the kingdom of heaven among ordinary people.

However, not everyone is qualified to enter this place, especially those who dare to challenge the authority of the Vatican, which has been very few since ancient times.

On weekdays, they are here to plan this invasion, but now they are the opposite.

On this day, the legion of monks from the East stepped into the Vatican, and they wanted to subvert this sacred place, and this day is destined to go down in history and leave a strong mark.

"Boom!"

The sky trembled, the earth collapsed, the strong people of Middle-earth were like clouds, and the monks of the four poles were like rain, rushing into the Vatican, they stepped on the void, gathered together and burst out with a powerful momentum, and the void continued to ripple.

The vision of the sky manifested, the golden lotus bloomed, and with the sound of chanting resounding through the heavens, Jiang Yun led the monks of Middle-earth to shatter the void and descended on this ancient heavenly holy land.

"Fight!"

Jiang Yun stood in Cangyu, behind him were cultivators with full of fighting intent in their eyes, the boiling qi and blood condensed together, turned into a giant dragon, and broke through the sky, they stared at the Vatican, feeling the glorious history of this land.

And the Pure Land of Heaven was quiet at this time, they didn't seem to be worried, the towering temple in the sky exuded dazzling brilliance, without the slightest tension, they seemed to have punched cotton.

"Do they think we're joking? It's too arrogant! ”

Pang Bo also followed, his temples swelled slightly, he was a little angry in his heart, he felt contempt, as if he couldn't control himself, and wanted to rush into it.

"No, they are rushing inward to provoke us, and they have been fully prepared in secret, and there are vigorous life fluctuations in all directions."

Qiri Daoist said solemnly.

"Scatter!"

With a soft snap, the anger in the hearts of the Middle-earth monks also calmed down, feeling everything here, and there was a Dao rhyme that made them lose their minds in the void.

"You know how to use some dastardly tricks!?"

They understand that this is not a refuge for the weak, and that different strong people have appeared in different eras, but the Vatican has always maintained its glory.

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yun's voice sounded.

In the distance, on the highest sacred mountain here, the huge temple was pushed open by two beautiful angels with divine wings, revealing the solemn throne within.

One by one, the old and strong men walked out of the temple, they exuded a powerful aura around them, and they were obviously the representatives of the Vatican's top combat power.

One of the old men sat on a stone chair, his skin was as clear as jade, his golden hair was majestic and solemn, he wore a crown on his head, his eyes were like an ancient god, and his eyes reflected the boundless sun, moon and stars.

This is the Pope who has ruled the West for thousands of years, exuding an aura like a god that oppresses heaven and earth, almost suffocating everyone, and many people can't help but kneel down in salute.

He said flatly: "The demons from Middle-earth have turned their backs on the gods and fallen into darkness, and their sins need to be washed away with blood, and the believers have appeared to subdue the demons!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Suddenly, knights and believers who had been waiting for a long time appeared in all directions, and there was a loud noise.

Hundreds of ironclad knights rushed into the Vatican, they stepped on the high mountain, the momentum, this belongs to the Radiant family, dedicated to guarding the Holy See, the patriarch of their family, personally led many strong people to prepare to meet the invasion of the enemy.

On the other hand, a group of powerful knights also appeared, wearing golden armor and holding golden war spears, all of them with high fighting spirit and fierce eyes.

They belong to the Golden Family, who claim to have the blood of the gods, and are very powerful, and in ancient times, this family once rose two sages of the gods, swept across the west, and made the saints retreat.

The ancient families have sent their own masters to support the Vatican, because they are very worried that the demons of Middle-earth will destroy the holy place in their hearts.

With the Pope's order, more than a dozen legions of monks appeared and surrounded Jiang Yun and the others, these armies represented some of the oldest and most powerful families today, and they were the most powerful existence in the Holy See.

"Bang!"

The heavens and the earth shook, and four more figures slowly walked from a distance, all the holy mountains were trembling, as if they had incomparable might, each of them was very special, and one of them flashed, standing in front of these teams.

"Paladin-sama, the real Paladin-sama!"

Although there are many people in the Western team, there are many Lunhai and Dao Palace monks supporting the scene, and they still have no bottom in their hearts in the face of thousands of four-pole monks, and they don't know who surrounded whom.

But as soon as the four of them appeared, they immediately cried out with excitement that God had not abandoned them.

The four's uniforms were dull, covered with swords and arrow marks, heavy and pitted, stained with blood, as if they had just returned from a great battle.

The Maoshan Sect Leader recognized these battle suits, his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "These are wearing battle clothes from the Dark Age!" These people are the paladins of the ancient era, and legend has it that there are people who have survived thousands of battles without dying, and each of them has actually survived to the present. ”

Qi Ri Dao secretly complained in his heart, his Sendai one-level consummation realm was already at the pinnacle of Middle Earth, but he didn't expect that there would be so many ancient sect masters alive in the West!

The realm of the Pope above him is even more difficult to watch, thinking that he should be a Dao King, his heart is half cold, and today the monks of Middle-earth are afraid that most of them will be lost.

It is no wonder that Middle-earth has been repeatedly deflated under the oppression of the West over the years, and the earth where the vitality of heaven and earth has dried up, and the West has relied on the mental power of all beings, and some ancient ancestors have not left, and they are too far ahead of Middle-earth.

"Your welcome ceremony is not bad, but it is a little worse, and it can be a little deterrent if you change to a saint."

Jiang Yun looked up at the Pope on the high sacred mountain, and there was neither joy nor sorrow in his tone, like a deep lake.

"Welcome? Let's forget it! Everything you bring back from outside the territory will be fulfilled by me! ”

The Pope shook his head and whispered, looking down indifferently like a god, he had already probed Jiang Yun's realm, and he had not yet cut the Dao, even if he was a genius, he would not be his opponent.

"This Pope has been in power for at least three thousand years, and his followers have changed one after another, but he has always been in that position."

Someone in the back whispered to Jiang Yun that the Pope can be said to be a witness to Western history.

Jiang Yun was too lazy to say it, since he appeared as soon as the Pope coveted him, although this person has lived for a long time, but living a long time does not mean that he is strong.

"Then there is nothing to say, everything you have here will also belong to us, each by its own means!"

"It is God's punishment to bind these sinners with the chains of order of the gods and to knock them from heaven to hell, and they will have to suffer eternal torment before they can be cleansed from their sins!"

The Pope opened his mouth slowly, in his territory, there was nothing to fear, his whole body was sprinkled with divine light, like an ancient god descending on the mortal world, and immediately began to act.

With only the knights below, it may not be able to take down these people, and a big war is about to break out.

"Boom!"

The Pope pressed hard in the void, and a huge crystal clear hand appeared out of thin air, completely condensed by the power of faith, covering the sky and the earth, almost covering the entire heaven and earth, and suppressing the earth below.

Everyone was shocked, this is the strength of the Pope, under one blow, will anyone on the earth be able to resist! Such power is enough to destroy any ancient lineage!

This method is the most effective against heresy, with the help of the power of faith of all beings, they can instantly turn into gods, destroy their opponents, and show unparalleled divine power.

"The Pope is stronger than he thought," many whispered.

The earth cracked, the sky collapsed, and the destructive force was so unmatched that nothing could resist it, as if it were about to raze the entire Vatican to the ground.

The surrounding sacred mountain shimmered with the light of Dao marks, forming an ancient law pattern, guarding the Vatican indestructible.

At the same time, the other four paladins also made a move, although the weapons in their hands looked ordinary, but when they waved, they made people feel a cold air, as if they could devour people's souls, cold and condensed, like an abyss that could not be gazed at.

Huo Lin'er turned into a blue light, and quickly moved in the light of the paladins, and she clicked four times in a row, and her four fingers turned into an indestructible scepter.

Although the paladins had reached the Sect Master's Consummation and reacted quickly, blocking Huo Lin'er's attack with their weapons, they were still affected by the aftermath and suffered some damage.

As if struck by lightning, the four people flew sideways, blood spurting out of their mouths, bones all over their bodies broken, and expressions of disbelief revealed in their expressions.

They had considered that Jiang Yun and they could fight against them, but they never thought that it would be so terrifying, one of his Dao companions just made a move, even if they had a demi-saint weapon, it was not enough to slash that blue figure.

Jiang Yun didn't pay attention to the others around her, Huo Lin'er was the daughter of the ancient emperor who was about to cut the road, and she alone could sweep away these local chickens and dogs.

"Boom!"

The sky dome twisted and turned the world upside down, and the Pope saw Huo Lin'er shoot to defeat the four paladins, and the big hand that fell from the sky accelerated down, wanting to shatter them all.

Jiang Yun just watched quietly at first, he wanted to see what was so special about the Western Pope, and after he exerted his power, he finally made a move calmly, and a brilliant sword fetus shot out from his eyebrows.

"Phew!"

The sword fetus seemed to be accompanied by the sound of the ancient Dao, and everyone's ear bones were in severe pain, and many people in the Holy See began to bleed and lay on the ground.

This divine and holy sword shot out, piercing through the raised hand that covered the sky and the sun, shattering the holy crown worn by the Pope's head, and piercing his eyebrows in an instant, shattering all obstacles.

Everything in the world seemed to come to a standstill, the heavens and the earth were discolored, and then, the pope, who had lived forever with the West, fell to the sky and died on the spot.

There was no collision of fists and fists, no intersection of order and law, and no even waiting for everyone to react.

Only the sword fetus that evolved from the peaceful chaos duel shot out a mediocre primordial sword light, and the Pope returned to the arms of the Lord.

"Oh my God, the Pope is dead, and he was killed by a demon from Middle-earth in just one move!?"

"How is that possible! This is not true! I must have fallen into a demonic illusion! ”

"No~~His Holiness the Pope~"

Inside and outside this holy land, all those who saw this scene were all exclaimed, and many of them turned pale and looked at all this in disbelief, feeling too shocked.

They thought about many possibilities, but they didn't expect that there would be such a devastating duel, just one blow, the Pope died on the spot.

How can their all-powerful pope, their eternal pope, their invincible pope, be so vulnerable!?

"Isn't my cousin still cut off yet? How far has this been."

Ye Fan looked at the heroic figure in front of him in a daze, he seemed to be obscured by the shadow cast by Jiang Yun, and looked at the Pope who fell from the sky in disbelief.

"The king? Sage!? ”

A group of people from the Middle Earth Dao Sect were dumbfounded, they were silent, their hearts throbbed, they could only feel that their own realm was low, and they couldn't see through Jiang Yun's strength.

"How is this possible?"

Huo Lin'er couldn't believe her eyes, refreshed her understanding of her husband, and looked at Jiang Yun in front of her with some fascination.

"The husband is not a person who only spends money and lust in the room, but also an unprecedented arrogance in the world!" , Zixia muttered.

"Madame Palace Master, what are you talking about?"

The Phoenix Heavenly Maiden hid the admiration in her eyes, turned her head to look at Zixia curiously, her smart eyes blinked and blinked, as if she really didn't hear what she said.

Zixia's face turned red, and then she returned to her blandness, and the simple prevarication passed. (End of chapter)
