Chapter 43: The Battle of Heavenly Dao Valley

Nangong Jue hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Right and wrong can be distinguished in the future, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, everyone finds an opportunity to sit down and talk, and it can naturally be solved." Elder Bai can afford to be a middleman in my Nangong Jue, and he also asked the head of the Ximen family to give face, is it not for the time being to stop and treat the injured separately, so as not to cause further damage?"

Bei Mingxuan knew that now that the people who had come to the Ximen family to go out to rescue had returned, it was impossible to completely annihilate the Ximen family in a short period of time; second, there were more than ten hostages, and the other party could not ignore them. He looked at the elders of the Ximen clan and the people in charge of Ximen Bo, who also gestured to ask for the opinion of Bei Mingxuan, and Bei Mingxuan hurriedly stretched out his palm and asked them to make their own decisions. Both sides suffered heavy losses, and continued to fight but both sides were defeated, Bai Zhaoxing and others in the top combat power of the Changting faction did not make a move, and the follow-up had to be planned in the long run, and the clan elder and Ximen Bo and others agreed to a truce after a little discussion. Chang Ting sent and the Nangong family to treat the injured and quickly evacuated Ximen Manor. Then Bai Chiren and the others returned to the Changting faction, and the Changting faction naturally sent back the captured Siemens disciples first.

After the Changting faction and the Nangong family evacuated, the Ximen people quickly treated the injured and cleaned up the mess. The elder of the Ximen clan, Ximen Bo and Ximen Zhong invited Bei Mingxuan into a quiet secret room in the ancestral hall, and everyone thanked Bei Mingxuan and thanked him for his rescue. The clan elder is called Ximenyuan, and he is the only surviving elder of the older generation.

The management model of the family is that the presbytery, also known as the council of elders, is the highest decision-making body, and the patriarch is responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the family. The elders are generally served by the seniors of the family, and there is no limit to the number of people, such as the generation of Simon Bo of the Simon family who is in charge of the family affairs. There are twelve of them in the previous generation, all of whom are clan elders, and there is only one Yuan Lao in the grandparents' generation, whose seniority is high, and his skills are the deepest, and he is a senior elder of the clan elders, and his prestige in the clan is unmatched.

At this time, several elders who were not seriously injured, Ximen Bo, Ximen Zhong and other family heads, and the three elders of the Tiandao Sect entered one by one and sat down.

Fang sat down, Yuan Lao got up and bowed to the north of Mingxuan, Lifan hugged his fists and said: "The difficulties of the Ximen family are all thanks to the help of the two of them, and the Ximen Ju family is grateful. ”

Everyone in the Ximen family got up and hugged their fists to thank them, and Bei Ming Xuan and Li Fan hurriedly got up and saluted: "Old Man Yuan is too polite, Ximen and North Ming have intersected for generations, and my grandfather and Old Yuan have been friends for decades, and I respect your character very much." Before coming to Shuyang, grandpa also explained that he would definitely visit you for him and listen to your repentance. This time, the Changting faction and the Nangong family acted so sinisterly, and their lips were cold, and the little nephew was naturally duty-bound. ”

Yuan Lao shook his head with a solemn face and said: "Xiao Xuan is too modest, if it weren't for you and Lifan today, the disaster of Ximen's extermination would be inevitable." According to the information you have found, the Changting faction has not gone all out, and it is difficult for Simon to take the lead. Let's sit down, we have to think about the follow-up response in the long run. ”

Bei Ming Xuan looked at the three elders of the Heavenly Dao Gate, the three elders stayed in the Ximen family, and this time they resisted the enemy's regular court and sent a strong force, but they were all slightly injured. Just now, Ximen Bo introduced three people: Luo Mingjing, Wu Minghan, and Yu Mingting, all of whom are around 50 years old.

Bei Mingxuan clenched his fists and said to the three Heavenly Dao Sect elders: "Three seniors, Chang Ting sent Yao Daoshi to bring people to Xihua Mountain, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the Heavenly Dao, the seniors can contact the sect, is there any news?"

Ximenbo also hurriedly said: "Yes, for today's plan, only the two conveners can deal with it by concentrating, and we must not let the Chang Court break each one." ”

Luo Mingjing hurriedly said: "Yuan Lao, the patriarch of Ximen, and the nephew of Beimingxian, I got a report from Youshao, and I and my two junior disciples contacted the door, but we couldn't get in touch anymore, and just wanted to find another way, the attack of Chang Ting and Nangong arrived." So I don't know the current situation of the teacher, and suddenly cut off contact, I'm afraid it's a little bad, and I ask you to discuss countermeasures together, I'm so anxious, it's already a mess. ”

Yuan Lao nodded and said, "The situation is urgent, and I don't have time to discuss it in detail, so I'm not welcome." Bo'er immediately contacted Sheng Jing to inform him of today's incident. Uncle in Shengjing reported to the state security agencies and the government that he now needed the intervention of government forces; second, Zhong'er contacted Tianshan, Qingcheng and other ancient martial arts sects to report and strive for the support of Tianshan and Qingcheng; third, Feng'er immediately contacted your Uncle Ji to recall all the children of the secret sect, and asked Brother Qinghai and Brother Jiang to come out of the mountain and gather in Mingyue Villa within one day; fourth, Gu'er immediately prepared a helicopter, and we immediately went to Xihua Mountain, according to the strength of the Changting faction, Brother Zhu, Brother Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to resist; fifth, other clansmen will arrange for the treatment of the wounded and sick, clean up the mess, and communicate with the Xishu Provincial Government and the military, so that the deceased will be buried as soon as possible, and everything will be simple in times of crisis. ”

After all, Yuan Lao is experienced and calculating, and several layouts are not leaky, and the background of the Ximen family is not as fragile as the Changting faction imagined, so there must be room for it. Several Ximen people left in response, leaving only Yuan Lao and a few worshippers.

Yuan Lao paused slightly, and turned his head to look at Bei Mingxuan: "Xiao Xuan, in the matter of the Heavenly Dao Gate, I was injured and couldn't make a move, so I can only ask you for help." You brought Fan to my Ximen to look for relatives this time, you are to send a treasure to the Ximen family! If I hadn't had Fan to help me before, I would have died under the combined attack of Wei and He. ”

After saying that, he looked at Fan gently: "This child is seven or eight points similar to Changqing, there is no doubt that he must be a descendant of Changqing, Feng'er will definitely be able to find Changqing's relatives and friends, and implement Fan's identity." ”

When I heard the words of the old man, my eyes turned red, and I remembered that I had no relatives since I was a child, and I didn't know where my parents were.

Bei Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, and said, "Old lady Yuan is polite, I originally intended to go to the Heavenly Dao Gate to meet your seniors, so naturally I will go with you." Lifan stayed in the clan just in case, and my wife also asked Uncle Zhong to arrange to bring him to the manor and everyone together. ”

Before the words fell, Ximen You led Hai Ling and Xiao Hong into the secret room, and Bei Mingxuan hurriedly greeted him, and Hai Ling was happy to see that Bei Ai was safe. The two hadn't seen each other for a few hours, and they seemed to be separated for several days, Bei Mingxuan took Hai Ling's hand and led her to her seat and sat down, and Xiao Hong stood behind the two.

Bei Mingxuan asked: "Elder Yuan, saving people is like fighting a fire, I will go with the three elders, without further ado, should I set off immediately?"

Elder Yuan nodded: "Gu'er's helicopter will depart immediately after it arrives, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng will work hard for you to go with Xiao Xuan and the three elders." ”

Zhang and Cheng immediately got up and hugged their fists in agreement. Seeing that his lover was about to leave again when he first met, Hai Ling was reluctant to let go, so he grabbed Bei Mingxuan's hand and didn't let go, and Bei Mingxuan comforted him in a low voice. After a while, the helicopter arrived, it was late at night, and they didn't dare to delay, so the six people hurriedly got on the helicopter and flew to Xihua Mountain.

Shuyang City is not far from Xihua Mountain, but it is about 300 kilometers, and the helicopter is only half an hour away. Everyone on the plane was speechless, and the three elders of Tiandaomen were anxious, and it was inconvenient to urge, so they couldn't wait to fly to the mountain gate for a while. Bei Ming Xuan closed his eyes and recalled the process of fighting with Elder Zhou Daoya of the Chang Court just now, and Zhou Daoya could still fight wits and strength, if he encountered the late stage of the earth level, or even the heavenly level, in the face of absolute strength, would he still have the ability to deal with it?

Recalling the feeling of using this sword in the previous fight, and feeling that this sword was extraordinary, Bei Mingxuan couldn't help but take out the sword and study it carefully. There was not much space for the helicopter, and the two Keqing and the three elders were surprised when they saw Bei Mingxuan suddenly take out the long sword, and they didn't know where he took it out, and they didn't see where his long sword was hidden.

Bei Mingxuan naturally knew everyone's feelings, and did not say anything, concentrating on observing the long sword. This time he was mainly studying the magic circle on the hilt of the sword, and he tried to input the internal qi into the magic circle. With the input of internal qi, he immediately felt that the magic circle was faintly activating, and the Northern Darkness Xuan secretly lifted the dantian qi and increased the intensity of the input. In the blink of an eye, the magic circle emitted a faint blue light, the long sword hummed, and the magic circle on the hilt of the sword generated a powerful suction, and the internal force in the body of the Northern Underworld Xuan poured into the long sword like a flood that broke the embankment. In just an instant, one-third of the internal force in his body was sucked into the long sword. Bei Mingxuan was shocked in his heart, and was about to forcibly cut off the input of internal force. But seeing that the body of the long sword in his hand seemed to be ignited by a cyan flame, a layer of cyan sword qi of nearly an inch emerged from the blade of the sword, and the sword qi at the tip of the sword was nearly half a foot long. A cyan dragon shadow flashed on the spine of the sword, and at the hilt of the sword, the three ancient characters of "Qinglong Sword" clearly appeared.

The eyes of the other five people on the plane widened in surprise, and Luo Mingjing couldn't help but ask: "Nephew Xuanxian, what kind of treasure is this sword?

Wu Minghan took out a flying knife from his arms and touched the blade of the sword, the flying knife was gently cut by the sword qi like a piece of tissue paper, and the fracture was smooth, and the sword was even sharper than before after being poured into the internal qi. Bei Mingxuan felt it even deeper, and after inputting his internal qi, he felt that he had some telepathy with this sword, and his hand was not as heavy as before, as if it was fused with the palm of his hand, and he could move as he wished.

When he heard Luo Mingjing's question, he hurriedly gathered his mind and replied: "Senior Luo, this sword is from a disciple of the Changting Sect, and its skill is only at the Xuan Rank, I saw that this sword was extraordinary, so I took it with my hand, but I don't want it to be a treasure." ”

Luo Mingjing took the long sword, and without the support of the internal force of the Northern Darkness Xuan, the sword qi of the sword gradually faded. Bei Mingxuan didn't hide his secrets, and told Luo Mingjing to use the law, and Luo Mingjing input the internal qi into the magic circle according to the law, but the magic circle did not move. Several elders and Keqing tried in turn, but it was the same, and they couldn't activate the magic circle.

Luo Mingjing sighed: "The origin of this sword is definitely not simple, and the elders of the Changting Sect will naturally appreciate it, but it is still used by a Xuan-level disciple, so it can be seen that the treasure is not clear." It seems that this thing is also an artifact.,Will choose the owner and attach it.,Born to be a great-nephew.。 ”

Several people nodded, and Bei Mingxuan took the long sword, stroked and played with it lovingly, until the helicopter landed, and then inserted it into the scabbard. At this time, it was inconvenient to put it away, so I carried it on my back. With the help of this divine sword, the Northern Darkness Xuan was arrogant in vain, and he was going to fight with the powerful people in the late stage of the Changting Sect.

The helicopter landed directly at the Tiandaomen Mountain Gate, a huge bluestone archway towered in front of a quiet valley, and the four big characters "Tiandao Nature" in the middle of the moonlight emitted a brilliant white light. The six of them hurriedly got off the plane, and Elder Luo Mingjing led the way first, unfolding his body and rushing towards the sect.

Outside the valley is quiet, but when you enter the valley through a tree-lined path, the scene is different. The houses where several outer disciples lived were very messy, and there were fights and bloodstains everywhere, and although there were no injured or corpses, it was clear that there must have been a fight. Walk through a dense primeval forest, cross a stream, and reach the inner gate. The inner gate is located on a hill, the top of the hill is repaired and leveled, is a square of about 10,000 square meters, all paved with bluestone slabs. On the back side of the square is a tall building made of stones, which is where the main hall of Tiandaomen is located. There is a row of wing rooms on the east and west sides, which are inhabited by inner disciples, deacons and elders.

Now there is no trace of the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect on the top of this mountain, but there are more than ten disciples in the clothes of the Chang Court who are left behind, and the six of them know that the Chang Ting Sect has attacked the Tiandao Gate on a large scale, and the situation is not good. Elder Yu Mingting's personality was the most impatient, and he rushed towards the Changting disciples with a loud roar, and everyone was afraid that he would be sick, so they also attacked with him. Seeing this, the disciples of Changting knew that it was the reinforcements of the Heavenly Dao Gate, and when they saw that there were not many people, they were not afraid, and more than ten people surrounded them while sending signals.

Without a ground-level master, they couldn't resist at all, and they were all knocked over by dividing five by two. After a little interrogation, I knew that the Heavenly Dao Gate was finally surrounded in a cave in the back mountain, and I tried my best to support it. The six of them hurried to the back mountain, and a group of Changting disciples who came to answer after receiving the signal came on the road, and seeing that the six people were coming fiercely, they wisely did not step forward to engage in the battle, but quickly retreated. The six of them chased after each other, and soon came to a secluded mountain pass.

There is a hole at the end of the col, very neatly groomed, and a small open space at the entrance of the cave. There was originally a stone door at the entrance of the cave, which had been broken, and the cave was dark and difficult to see. Not far away, several generators roared, and eight searchlights illuminated the area. A few searchlights shot directly at the entrance of the cave, and the outside of the cave was full of Changting disciples, there were more than a hundred of them, plus the disciples who left their hands in other places in the valley to warn, there should be no less than two hundred.

There are no less than 1,000 disciples in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and nearly half of them have the strength to fight, more than twice the number of people in the Changting faction, and the location is advantageous, but the current situation is that they are trapped and defended, and there is no power to resist, which shows the strength of the Changting faction. Fifty years ago, the scale of Tiandaomen was far more prestigious than that of Changting, but in the past thirty years, Changting has become increasingly prosperous under the leadership of Ying Daopu. The Tiandao Sect is just the opposite, although the previous generation of masters has deep skills, they are not good at management and teaching, and there are no outstanding people among the disciples under the sect. After several late-stage elders of the Ground Rank passed away one after another, they were only supported by two mid-Stage Elders of the Heavenly Rank. The current head Xia Mingjun cultivated in the early stage of the Heavenly Rank, and he was more than able to defend and not develop enough, and struggled to maintain the status of the Heavenly Dao Sect in the ancient martial arts world.

Fortunately, there are a lot of malleable materials among the three generations of young disciples, but it still needs time to polish. This time, Chang Ting sent Yao Daoshi to take people to worship the mountain, and the head of Xia respected him as a great ancient martial artist and had a long reputation, and personally accompanied him. Yao Daoshi proposed that the decline of the Tiandaomen is due to the lack of management, and the incompetence of the head of the sect has missed the good qualifications and prospects of the disciples. The Changting faction has always had an old relationship with the Heavenly Dao Gate, and it can't bear to see its decline, so it is willing to help support, as long as the head of Xia makes the virtuous, the Heavenly Dao Gate will inevitably take on a new look within ten years.

All the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect were filled with righteous indignation, and they had not seen such an arrogant sect in the ancient martial arts world for hundreds of years, openly provoking another major faction and wanting to annex one sect after another. Immediately, the words became intense, and those who practice martial arts are not good at words, and if they don't agree with each other, they will see the high and low of their fists and feet, and they will naturally fight. Yao Daoshi single-handedly defeated the two mid-stage elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect and joined forces, and he was ruthless, and both of them were seriously injured.

Yao Daoshi brought two mid-stage elders and eight early-stage elders with him this time, and his high-end strength crushed the Heavenly Dao Gate. These two mid-level elders were injured, and the Heavenly Dao Sect was even more powerless to resist. Fortunately, Master Xia desperately stopped Yao Daoshi, and the other five early stage elders protected the two mid-stage elders to fight their way out of the encirclement, and gathered their disciples to retreat to the back mountain. Taking advantage of the terrain, he fought and retreated, and finally retreated into the hidden dragon cave where the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect practiced in retreat for generations.

The Qianlong Cave has been operated by the Heavenly Dao Gate for hundreds of years, and the organs are densely covered with secret passages, and it has barely supported it until now by relying on this dangerous place. The Heavenly Dao Sect wanted to ask for help from the outside world, but Chang Ting came prepared, and used the instrument to block the signal of the entire valley, and he couldn't contact the outside world at all. Because of this, the Changting offensive was not violent, and the Changting faction wanted to take the Heavenly Dao Sect under its control, and did not want to kill it all. In addition, there are also plans to besiege the city and send reinforcements to clear the forces of the Heavenly Dao Gate in one fell swoop. There were more than 400 people in the Heavenly Dao Gate who were surrounded in the Hidden Dragon Cave, and some of the other disciples were hidden and scattered, and 2 or 300 people were captured by the Chang Court and imprisoned in another cave.

The small group of reinforcements sent by the Chang Ting retreated into the Chang Ting formation, there was a commotion in the formation, the formation dispersed, and more than a dozen people walked out surrounded by a thin old man in his sixties. Bei Mingxuan and the other six people were busy standing on guard, this thin old man was not tall, only about one meter six or five, his face was yellow, and he looked sick, and from time to time he clenched his right hand into a fist and coughed a few times in his mouth, a frail and sickly old man.
