Chapter 171: Falling apart
() The clear water cold pool of the Taiqing Sect is located on the top of the cold water peak. Hanshui Peak is the highest peak in Tiandao Mountain, far away from the main peak, and is named after the clear water and cold pool. There is nowhere else on this peak except Hantan.
Due to the cold water, the blue water cold pool is only used to store pills or cold medicinal materials, and there are two disciples in charge of guarding it on weekdays. Now during the Immortal Demon War, most of the disciples in the sect have been transferred to Huoye Mountain, and the stored pills have almost been taken out, so there is no need to guard them. Every time Hua Qianxue practices a batch of pills, she will send them to the cold pool for preservation, and no one should approach here except her.
After Hua Qianxue vaguely saw the figure, she became alert and immediately rushed over. But I chased straight to the edge of the cold pool, and I didn't see anyone. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it really be that she was dazzled?
Looking back at the road, the terraces are stacked, the sheep intestine path, winding, and the dense forest weeds are on both sides. Hua Qianxue frowned lightly, and said loudly: "Open-minded, Fang is a gentleman." It's despicable to be so sneaky and hiding. I've seen you, so come out!"
The only answer to Hua Qianxue was a light wind. The leaves of the forest are loud, the grass is swaying, and there seems to be no one else.
Hua Qianxue didn't cheat anyone, just thought it was a trance for a while. The alchemy time was pressing, so she sank the white jade box containing the pill to the bottom of the pool and turned around to leave.
But at the moment of turning around, Hua Qianxue's gaze swept over a piece of bluestone by the pool, and she was suddenly taken aback, there was a small pool of water stains on it!
The rest of the pool was dry, with the exception of this one bluestone. There are water stains, indicating that someone has just fished something from the bottom of the pool. "But there is nothing else in the cold pool except for the pills that have been refined recently......" Hua Qianxue was puzzled, these pills were only refined for the Dragon Clan's exercises, and had no other magical effects, what was there to worry about?
"Ah!" Hua Qianxue secretly said in her heart, she suddenly remembered that there was a rare thing in the pool, the Heavenly Demon Pill!
She hurriedly pulled up a rope next to the bluestone, the end of the rope should be tied to the jade box where the Heavenly Demon Pill was placed, but after the rope was pulled out of the water, it was empty.
It turned out that it wasn't dazzling just now, and there was really a thief! Hua Qianxue was furious, firstly, it was not easy to obtain materials from the Heavenly Demon Pill, and it was extremely difficult to refine, and it was only with the help of Huangfu Yu and Helian Xin, two masters in the middle of the tribulation, that it was really precious; secondly, the identity of the thief was infuriating, and here and now, only the people of the Taiqing Sect had the opportunity to steal! When the same sect and fellow Dao were fighting to resist the demon beast army, there were still people who had such thoughts, which was really chilling.
Hua Qianxue pulled out the fairy sword and rushed into the woods beside the road to search for the thieves, but the dense forest covered the bottom of the valley, how could she find it!
After Hua Qianxue went back, she told Yu Ruijiang about the incident, and Yu Ruijiang was extremely angry, but he really didn't have time to be distracted by this matter, so he had to order two disciples of the Void Netherworld Realm who were recuperating in the sect to take care of Bishui Hantan.
Yu Ruijiang was afraid that Li Yuanxiao would be distracted, so he did not report the matter to him. After Lu Hailong and other masters left Huoye Mountain, the attacks of the demon beasts became more and more fierce, and the eight types of demon beasts were mixed, flying in the air, running on the ground, and drilling in the soil, which was unguardable. Although Miao Haoshang and Jiang Huangu were two masters of the catastrophe, they could not protect the disciples after all, and the Taiqing Sect suffered heavy casualties, and Li Yuanxiao was anxious and worried.
After repelling a wave of onslaught from the demon beasts again, the Taiqing Sect had lost several more disciples, and the exhausted elders didn't even have time to grieve over the loss of their apprentices, so it was important to recover their physical and spiritual powers.
Although Hua Qingyu did not go to the battlefield, he was the busiest person in the Rongyang Sect. Tianyao and Xiaomin have also been working for her. Seeing his fellow disciples retreat from the battlefield again scarred, Tianyao couldn't hold back any longer.
"Grandpa, just let me kill the demon beast!" As soon as he rushed into Li Yuanxiao's room, he pleaded loudly.
Li Yuanxiao, who was pranayama, opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed his eyes and said, "No! Your realm is too low, and if you go, you will be sent to death!"
"Are those fellow disciples who died higher than me?" Tianyao asked rhetorically. In fact, he didn't understand that Li Yuanxiao was worried about his safety. It's just that a good man is strong and heroic, Tianyao is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, witnessing his companions fighting bravely to kill the enemy and staining the battlefield with blood, so how can he stand by and watch.
"Grandpa Li, I'm going with you too!" Zhu Xiaomin also walked in, "Sister Qingyu is proficient in medical skills, and I can't, seeing that the senior brother and the second senior sister are all injured, I don't want to be a shrinking turtle anymore!"
Li Yuanxiao sighed, and said to Tianyao: "I have only one grandson left for you, if you have three long and two short, how can I bear it? How can I be worthy of your dead father?" Then, he turned to Zhu Xiaomin again: "You are the same, if you are injured and hung up, I will not be able to explain to Sect Master Zhu." ”
"Grandpa, I have made up my mind, what does it matter if my husband dies on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud? Tianyao died naturally without regrets. Daddy Hero I, I must not disgrace him!" Tianyao said firmly, "Besides, Brother Tianxiao is not dead yet, I believe that one day he will come back!"
"Grandpa Li, if my great-grandfather knew that I was hiding behind me like this, he would definitely be angry! If you don't allow it, then I will go back to Chiri Sect, and my great-grandfather won't stop me!" Zhu Xiaomin said eagerly, turning around and leaving.
"Xiaomin, come back!" Li Yuanxiao hurriedly stopped her, "Alas, okay, the next time the demon beast comes to attack, you will act together with Mingfei and Junhe." However, you must be careful, don't fall in love with war, this Fire Leaf Mountain, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it for long......"
Tianyao and Xiaomin glanced at each other in surprise, and Tianyao asked, "Grandpa, are we going to evacuate?"
Li Yuanxiao said helplessly: "If we continue to consume it here, the disciples of the Taiqing Sect will die!
There is nothing we can do to help those state cities. After returning to Tiandao Mountain, there is a great array of protectors left by the ancestor, and there is no need to divide the combat strength to defend the two places......"
"What about the Red Sun Sect?" Zhu Xiaomin asked again. The Chiri Sect and the Taiqing Sect are divided into two mountains in the north and south of Tenglong County and the middle pass, if the Taiqing Sect withdraws, the other immortal cultivation sects in Kanglong County will inevitably withdraw, and the Chiri Sect is difficult to support alone, and this pass will definitely not be able to hold it.
Li Yuanxiao touched his beard and said, "I will have a good discussion with Sect Master Zhu...... Fortunately, the Red Sun Sect also has a large array of protectors, and in such a dangerous situation, the two sects have no choice but to retreat to the mountain gate and fight separately. ”
"It's just that the people of Li are ......suffering," Tianyao sighed.
In fact, it was not only Li Yuanxiao who had the intention of retreating, but also Guo Yunchao, who led the Yeli Sect to guard the western defense line of Qianlong County. Night Crying Valley was not too much of an obstacle for the crazy demon beasts, and the disciples of Night Leave also suffered heavy casualties.
There are only three masters in the sect, Shangguan Fei, Shangguan Piao brothers and Su Xiaohui, and Su Xiaohui was also injured in a fierce fight with a white-scaled dragon python. Guo Yunchao had already retreated in his heart.
"Ouch, you lighten up, it hurts!" Su Xiaohui, whose face was pale, said to Shangguan who was bandaging him.
"It's the late stage of Mahayana, what kind of pain are you afraid of!" Shangguan Piao glanced at Su Xiaohui, and then said angrily to the brother beside him, "Even the demon beasts guarding the level of the Shuzang Palace have emerged, how can this battle be fought? In the swamp of the Shuzang Palace, it is that beast who guards the exit of the shocking gate!"
Shangguan Fei also looked helpless: "It's useless for you to complain to me!"
"If it doesn't work, you can only evacuate, it's a big deal to stick to the cold mountain and not come out. Guo Yunchao held his chin and rubbed his fingertips against his nose. As the head of a sect, he was a little ashamed to say such weak words.
The Night Leaving Sect was originally guarding the top of the cliff on the east side of the Night Crying Valley, but when the demon beast army attacked, they found that they couldn't move here at all. Different from the one more than ten years ago, the number of demon beasts in this beast tide has greatly increased, and the battlefield is too crowded, resulting in the immortal cultivators being unable to show their skills, forced to helplessly, Guo Yunchao had to order a retreat of thirty miles, the terrain of this area is relatively flat and wide, but there is not even a shelter from the sun and rain, the immortal cultivators and sergeants are all set up tents to sleep, and the conditions are very difficult.
Just when the two Shangguan brothers were worried, a disciple suddenly came into the account to report. Shangguan Piao's face became even more ugly: "Is it that the demon beast is attacking again?"
Unexpectedly, the listening disciple who had been bringing bad news finally brought good news: "Senior, the two masters who flew over from the opposite side of the Night Crying Valley just now seem to be fellow immortal cultivators, and now they have been stationed outside the tent. ”
"Oh?" Guo Yunchao was overjoyed, and was about to ask carefully, but was interrupted by Shangguan Piao in a hurry: "Those two masters are wearing golden dragon robes, and their left shoulders are bare?" According to his thoughts, how could any master suddenly fly from the demon beast at this time? If it is a dragon clan, it will not be good.
"No, one is wearing a brown gown, and the other is a blue gown. The disciple's answer made Shangguan breathe a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Fei guessed what Shangguan Piao was thinking: "Second brother, you are too nervous. If it was a dragon, there would have been wailing outside. ”
Su Xiaohui urged: "If you can fly from the demon beast unharmed, you must be a rare master, I can't move, you should hurry up and take a look." ”
Guo Yunchao and the two Shangguan brothers walked out of the tent, and at a glance they caught a glimpse of two people with different colors of clothes standing in the distance, one old and one young, talking.
Shangguan Fei suddenly shouted happily: "Jin Biao!
Guo Yunchao only knew one of them, and Qu Sanhang, who was "cheaply killed". This person is a person from the Yeli Sect, don't look at his indecent name, the cultivation realm is not low, and he has already reached the Mahayana realm of seclusion.
Speaking of his strange name and indecent name, it is related to his miserable experience as a child. Qu Sanhang's original surname was Dong, and his parents died shortly after he was born, so he didn't even know his real name. After the death of his parents, he was raised by his uncle and aunt, but his uncle's family was also poor, and he could not even support his own children.
The old grandson was in business when he was young and saved a lot of family property, but I don't know if it was because he was too immoral in business, and his son died when he was only eight years old. His wife was never able to have children again. When he got older, he stopped running a business and lived with his wife in a humble hut in the village. The old grandson loves money like his life, and he is extremely stingy, and he can't wait to break a penny in half to spend. The wife's thoughts were on her dead son, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was old and had nothing to rely on. Seeing that his wife's body collapsed, the old grandson finally decided to spend money on his stepson, but he still did not change his temperament at this time, and only paid three hangings.
But anyone who sells their children is a helpless move made because of the poverty of the family, and they are not willing to do it, but the old grandson is a miser, who is willing to sell his son for only three dollars?
There are no sons who sell them, but there are those who sell their nephews. Qu Sanhang's uncle and aunt were anxious to get rid of this burden, so they accepted the money and passed Qu Sanhang, who was less than one year old, to the old grandson.
When the wife of the old grandson saw Qu Sanhang, she was reluctant to let go when she hugged him, and she was full of joy, because her family name was Qu, so she named him Qu Zongyao. The old grandson and his wife loved this stepson in every way, and when he was thirteen years old, he also let him participate in the collection meeting of the night leaving sect. Qu Zongyao has good bones, and he successfully entered the Night Leaving Sect to cultivate immortals, and twenty years later, the old grandson and his wife died one after another. When she was dying, Mrs. Qu told him about Qu Zongyao's life experience.
After returning to the sect, Qu Zongyao didn't feel good in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that he was actually bought back by his father and mother for three hangs. Since then, Qu Zongyao changed his name to "Three Hangs" and read it
The grace of the old lady Qu's nurturing did not change her surname, and after reaching the Mahayana realm, she called herself "a cheap life".
Guo Yunchao straightened his clothes and saluted Qu Sanhang. But who is the other man in the brown robe?
Shangguan Piao introduced to Guo Yunchao: "Sect Master, this Zhai Jinbiao, whose name is 'Flying Eagle in the Snow Night', is a master of the middle Mahayana period who was born in my Night Sect. ”
Qu Sanhang corrected with a smile: "Xiao Piao, Brother Biao, he has been cultivating in seclusion for so many years, and he is already in the realm of the late stage of the tribulation. ”
Late Catastrophe!
"It turns out that in addition to the 'Heavenly Flying Peng' Bai Heng, there are still living masters of the Tribulation Realm!" Guo Yunchao was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Zhai Jinbiao. With such a powerful combat power, it can be described as a relief in the snow for the Yeli Sect.
"Sanhang, what kind of realm are you now?" Shangguan Fei asked.
"I'm ashamed, I've been cultivating for decades, and it's only in the early stage of the tribulation. Qu San sighed.
Shangguan fluttered Qu San and punched him: "I haven't seen you since I left the sect, and the news of the peerless immortal sword didn't lead you out before, I thought you had survived the catastrophe and ascended!"
Qu San laughed: "You are too exalted to me." After I left the sect, I found Brother Biao, and with him I retreated in a dense forest in Shenglong County, and was disturbed by demon beasts a few days ago, and only after I got out of the customs did I know the current situation. What is the news of the peerless immortal sword you just mentioned?"
So, Shangguan Piao briefly recounted the five stars that appeared in the world, the Shuzang Divine Palace was difficult to break through, the peerless immortal sword came out of the top five, and the immortal dragon clan was three or two points, which shocked Zhai Jinbiao and Qu Sanhang and couldn't speak for a long time.
"In the future, the Taiqing Sect will inevitably be an indispensable existence in the immortal cultivation world, but fortunately, I have always had a good relationship with them when I leave the sect at night......" Qu Sanhang sighed.
Shangguan Fei sighed: "I don't know if I can survive this catastrophe......!
"Being able to command eight types of demon beasts is naturally not an idle person. But I don't believe that they can defeat the late-stage masters of the Tribulation who are holding the peerless immortal sword!" Zhai Jinbiao was full of confidence and asked Guo Yunchao, "Sect Master Guo, can you lend me the Qingshuang Sword for the time being? ”
Guo Yunchao hurriedly pulled out the Qingshuang sword behind his back, and offered it with both hands: "The predecessor was born in Yeli, and he is a top master, so he should use this sword." ”
Shangguan Fei smiled: "Okay, with the two of you here, we are a lot easier." It's just that the disciples in the sect can't withstand the consumption, so it's safer to withdraw the sect. ”
Looking at the many injured disciples in the distance, Zhai and Qu nodded together.
......
"The Night Sect has actually evacuated!" "The Ethereal Sect Master Zuo Aolian was a little anxious, and paced impatiently in the room with his hands behind his back, "The Night Crying Valley is lost, and the demon beasts will inevitably attack on a large scale, and when the evening view of the Shanxi and North sides will be enemy, my Ethereal Sect will not be far from extinction! But people have a sect to return to, where can we go?" Thinking of this, Zuo Aolian couldn't help but complain to Zhu Honglie, it was Zhu Honglie's decision that made the Ethereal Sect give up the ethereal mountain of the sect, and originally planned to repel the attack and then go out to conquer the lost territory, but who wants to delay it because of the peerless immortal sword, this time the demon beast army is much more than in the last riot, and it is much stronger, and there are all kinds of powerful demon beasts that have never been seen, not to mention subduing the lost ground, and even holding on is stretched.
"No, this small sect overlooking the Evening Mountain doesn't even have a Protector Sect Formation, so I can't sit still here. Zuo Ao said honestly. Thinking about it, the most suitable place to go is the Suihan Mountain where the sect leaves the sect at night, the two sects are guarded together, and there is a large array to protect the sect, and the chances of the disciples surviving are greatly improved. After agreeing with the three masters of the Mahayana period, Zuo Aolian ordered to take the initiative to give up the position of Wanshan Mountain and rush to Suihan Mountain.
Far away at the southern tip of the continent, the situation of the Cold Moon Sect and the Fengling Sect is also not good, since the defense line south of the Qinxue River was breached, the immortal cultivators have been defeated and retreated, and the Tianyun Sect, which was guarding the Jiangdong with the Cold Moon Sect, has withdrawn to the Miyu Basin, and as a last resort, Yan Sushuang led the disciples of the sect to defect to the Red Sun Sect.
Jinwu Mountain is lively now, the Chiri Sect, which never accepts female disciples, actually poured in a large number of women within three days, and the men's natural sense of pity and pity was greatly stimulated, and they were all full of pride. Coupled with the fact that Yan Sushuang brought the Flying Immortal Sword, the combat power of the Red Sun Sect has increased a lot.
In this way, Li Yuanxiao also led the disciples of the Taiqing Sect to withdraw to Tiandao Mountain with peace of mind and stepped up their recuperation.
The most serious casualty among the seven major sects is the Feng Ling Sect, although there are many masters on the loose cultivation side, but it is not as orderly as the big sects, after the defense line is broken, the scattered cultivators are like a plate of loose sand, one after another scattered birds and beasts, the Feng Ling Sect retreated north while resisting the demon beasts, hoping that the Tianyun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect could help each other, but the Tianyun Sect retreated early, and the Cold Moon Sect defected to the Red Sun Sect again. Taiqian had no choice but to continue to lead the disciples of the Fengling Sect to the northeast, she was unwilling to deal with the scheming Ye Shenrong, so she had no intention of defecting to the Tianyun Sect.
In contrast, Li Yuanxiao, the Taiqing Sect Master, was decent and enthusiastic, and the Taiqing Sect had the most masters in the realm of the Tribulation, and there were several peerless immortal swords, so after crossing the Qinxue River, Tai Qian led the disciples of the Fengling Sect to go straight to the Tiandao Mountain of the Taiqing Sect. Of course, Li Yuanxiao was happy to accept it, and in this way, the peerless immortal sword of Tiandao Mountain had another Panying sword.
Less than half a year after the start of the Immortal Demon War, the seven major sects retreated one after another, and the defensive line agreed upon by the seven major sect masters at the beginning collapsed.
Seeing this, the various small and medium-sized sects took refuge in the big sects of their own county, and the same was true for the scattered cultivators. Now, the immortal cultivators of the entire Qinglong Continent have firmly formed four large groups, and the Jinwu Mountain, Suihan Mountain, Tiandao Mountain, and the Miyu Basin have become the last positions that the immortal cultivation world can rely on.
It is also a coincidence, "The mountains are too clear, the water of the clouds in the sky, the wood of the red sun, and the snow of the night." "These four places are the world-renowned Four Immortal Cultivation Scenes, such a wonderful place, could it be the place where the Immortal Cultivation Realm of the Blue Dragon Continent will eventually collapse?
