Chapter 173: The Heavenly Tribulation is coming
() "Wow", Lu Hailong pulled the Chengying Immortal Sword out of the head of a howling moon wolf, the demon wolf's blood splashed everywhere, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang. Around it, there were also the corpses of more than a dozen demon wolves.
"Whew, another small group of demon beasts has been solved, happy!" Lu Chengxuan happily put away the Victory Evil Immortal Sword.
Helian Xin looked worried: "If at this speed, the Year of the Monkey and the Moon can reach the Sea of Stars?"
"Sister, you're wrong. Our goal is not to destroy the dragons' lair, but to lure them out of the Dragon Hidden Palace. Anyway, Xianglong County is almost lost, and we will go all the way south, and we can kill as many as we can. Huangfu Yu said.
Lu Hailong inserted the Chengying Immortal Sword back into the sword holster, and was silent. He had his own considerations about how to draw out the dragons.
Lu Chengxuan saw that he frowned, so he asked, "Lu Daoyou, what good plan do you have?"
Lu Hailong let out a long sigh: "The four major sects of Chiri, Taiqing, Tianyun, and Yeli have all retreated to their own sects, and the three sects of Leng Yue, Ethereal, and Fengling have also assisted together, and with the resistance of the Great Array of Protectors, I believe that the demon beasts will be helpless in a short period of time." However, as soon as the immortal cultivators withdrew, how could the army be the opponent of the demon beast army? ”
Lu Chengxuan also sighed: "Indeed, we can't afford to drag it off, the demon beast is bloody and brutal, and we must not let it arbitrarily slaughter the people of our continent." We've killed a lot of monsters, but the dragons haven't shown up, so I'm asking you if you have any good strategies to force out the dragons for a decisive battle as soon as possible. ”
"No, that's not what I'm worried about. After a pause, Lu Hailong continued, "Have you noticed that the demon beasts are only driving away the people, and they don't seem to be wantonly killing?"
Lu Chengxuan's eyes widened: "Lu Daoyou, didn't you see it? When passing by Panzhou the day before yesterday, how many people died tragically? If we hadn't arrived in time, I don't know how many people would have died!"
"No, the people who were killed by the monsters were all those who took the initiative to resist, including the soldiers who defended the city. After the city was broken, all those who escaped, the demon beasts only chased, but did not kill. Those who take the initiative to bite people to death are beasts, not demon beasts. ”
Lu Chengxuan was puzzled: "Demon beasts, beasts, what's the difference?"
"The difference is huge. Lu Hailong smiled faintly and touched the stubble on his chin, "Compared with wild beasts, demon beasts have begun to have spiritual intelligence. Just imagine, with only nine brothers of the dragon clan, how can they lead these hundreds of thousands, millions of beast tides? Naturally, they are using the demon beasts in the beast tide. The dragon clan has also mentioned before that it is inseparable from immortal cultivators, not with humans, and demon beasts do not take the initiative to kill...... The significance of this is very deep. ”
Huangfu Yu exclaimed: "Lu Daoyou, do you mean that as long as the people and the army do not take the initiative to resist the demon beasts, the demon beasts will not hurt people?"
"It's just hope. The army still had to resist the wild beasts, and the people were mainly fleeing for their lives. If you encounter a demon beast, even if you resist, what are the chances of victory for ordinary people? Immortal cultivators hold on together, and the worst result is that the people of Li will be slaughtered, and it would be better if this situation could be avoided. The demon beast does not take the initiative to hurt people, perhaps at the behest of the dragon clan. If this is the case, you can wait for the opportunity to negotiate a deal with the dragon clan, so that the war can rise to the level of immortal cultivators and demon beasts, and let the beasts and the people go. ”
Lu Chengxuan shook his head and chuckled: "Lu Daoyou, you think too simply. Even in the peaceful period, people still hunted wild beasts to feed their stomachs, but now that the wild beasts are fighting back, how can they be at peace with human beings? In addition, the immortal cultivation realm has reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, what conditions are there to exchange with the dragon clan? In this great war, the sacrifice of the Li people is inevitable, and the immortal cultivators have done their best. ”
"Hmm......" Lu Hailong replied noncommittally. Suddenly, he felt a fluctuation from the spiritual breath jade in his arms, and took out the probe, his face gloomy: "The dragon clan has appeared, Jinwu Mountain!"
The three of them were all taken aback, and Helian Xin said: "I didn't expect the dragon clan to move faster than us! We haven't arrived at the Starwind Sea yet, but they have arrived in Tenglong County first!"
Huangfu Yu asked, "Attack the Chiri Sect?"
Lu Hailong nodded: "It's not that the dragon clan is fast, but our speculation is wrong. The Dragon Yin Palace is not in the sea south of the continent at all! Without further ado, we will rush over immediately!"
So, the four of them rose into the air, turned around, and flew towards Tenglong County.
On the way, Lu Hailong speculated: "Now it seems that the Dragon Yin Palace should be in the sea to the west of the continent. The Dragon Clan doesn't know the whereabouts of a few of our people who have crossed the Tribulation Realm, if the Dragon Hidden Palace is in the south of the continent, it stands to reason that they should attack the nearest Tianyun Sect first. ”
Lu Chengxuan said: "That's not necessarily, right? When I met Pu Lao and Negative, I was in Huoye Mountain, maybe the dragon clan has been mixed in the demon beast group, waiting for an opportunity to move." ”
"If it was still possible to change to before, but now that the defense line of Xianglong County has already collapsed, it is easier to get rid of the Tianyun Sect in the Miyu Basin first than to fight the Red Sun Sect, which has the advantage of mountain danger. And ......" Lu Hailong paused and took a deep breath, "This time the nine brothers of the Dragon Clan appeared together, so the Chiri Sect immediately asked the Taiqing Sect for help. ”
Lu Chengxuan was shocked: "Nine people appeared together?
"Fortunately, the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect have three Tribulation Masters plus one Scattered Cultivation Tribulation Master to return to the Sect to guard, it stands to reason ......" Lu Hailong suddenly stopped talking.
His expression was a little surprised at first, then his brow furrowed, and finally he shook his head helplessly.
The other three didn't notice his strange and complicated expression.
Huangfu Yu said: "Four masters of the tribulation? Heh, sister, who do you guess?"
"There are more dual cultivators in the two sects of Chisun and Cold Moon, and there is also a loose cultivator among the four masters, apart from the two sisters of the Fang family and their fellow cultivators, who else can it be?"
"With them, the Red Sun Sect shouldn't be so easy to defeat. 'Swallowing Mountains and Rivers' Huang Zongshan is quite powerful, and I fought with him in the early years when I didn't get the Victory Evil Immortal Sword
, although the realm was only one period away at that time, he was still defeated within a thousand moves. His Taoist companion 'Qingyue Double Hook' Fang Lingyou is also a top master. Lu Chengxuan recalled, "The news of the five peerless immortal swords actually didn't lead them out, and they didn't appear until such a critical juncture, and they were really calm." ”
Huang Fuyu said: "Everyone has their own ambitions. Not every master wants a peerless immortal sword. Having said that, didn't the news of the peerless immortal sword also lead you out?"
"I already have the Victory Evil Immortal Sword, which is naturally different. Not to mention that I've been participating in enlightenment and cultivation, even if I know the news, I won't fight for it. ”
Helian Xin said worriedly: "The nine brothers of the Dragon Clan, their strength is unfathomable. Nine people united, I'm afraid the four of them can't deal with it. ”
Lu Chengxuan responded: "It's okay. I've played against him, and if it hadn't been for Pu Lao's sudden appearance, I wouldn't have lost to him one-on-one. Although Huang Zongshan and the others are inferior in numbers, it should not be a problem for them to hold on until we rush over with the Great Array of Protecting the Sect. At that time, it will be eight against nine, and it is uncertain who will win or lose. ”
Huangfu Yu's expression was solemn: "Lu Daoyou, you are wrong. That day, he was injured not because of his lack of skill, but because you and Bei Yuan had a peerless immortal sword in their closed hands. In the Shuzang Palace, I have witnessed the terrifying strength of the dragon clan. We can't delay for a moment, and a moment later, Jinwu Mountain will be in danger of being breached. ”
Lu Chengxuan recalled that when he slashed his sword on the negative gold pen, the negative immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood. Later, Pu Gao's injury was also due to the fight between Bei Yuan's Zhan Lu Sword and the golden bell, he raised his eyebrows, and guessed: "Could it be that the skill of the dragon clan is related to those golden weapons?"
Helian Xin said: "Very likely. In addition, the dragon clan also has protective scale armor, and the quality is not low. All in all, since the Dragons have poured out of the nest, the plan we have set to divide and destroy is meaningless, and now it is imperative that the masters of the Clan immediately gather at the Golden Crow Mountain and fight to the death with the Dragons. With the addition of the Pei brothers and the four of them, there are a total of twelve of our Tribulation Period Immortal Cultivators. Counting the Pure Jun Sword of the Red Sun Sect and the Flying Sword of the Cold Moon Sect, there are a total of seven peerless immortal swords, which should have the strength to fight. ”
"Hmm. Although I don't really want to join forces with those two thieves, I can't care so much about the critical moment. Lu Daoyou, have you already sent a message to Xue Daoyou to inform them?" Lu Chengxuan asked. But Lu Hailong didn't seem to hear it, and he looked preoccupied. "Lu Daoyou?" Lu Chengxuan asked again.
Lu Hailong, who had been silent for a long time, came back to his senses and arched his hand: "You don't need to worry about the contact. I suddenly remembered an important matter, I want to rush back to Taiqing Sect, the three of you, Jinwu Mountain will meet again. After saying that, he immediately controlled the Chengying Immortal Sword to turn to the northeast and fly away.
The three of them looked at each other, what could be more important than a decisive battle with the dragon clan?
Lu Chengxuan was puzzled: "I said...... Lu Daoyou, he shouldn't be afraid of the dragon clan, right?"
"How is that possible? Lu Daoyou is not that kind of person. He said that if the 'Golden Crow Mountain' met again, he would definitely rush to the Chiri Sect. Huangfu Yu said.
......
In the Kite Flying Hall of the Tianyun Sect, Xue Yuelin also got the news that the Red Sun Sect was besieged. She thought for a moment, and then went to Meng Fantao to discuss. The sudden appearance of the nine brothers of the Dragon Clan once again disrupted the plans of the two, and after rushing to the Red Sun Sect, it was a desperate fight, how could there be a chance to seek other peerless immortal swords?
Meng Fantao touched his beard and paced back and forth in the room, his speed getting faster and faster.
Xue Yuelin said: "Have you come up with a countermeasure? Just walking around here annoys me!"
Meng Fantao stopped, turned around, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Sister Xue, there is no other chance, just start on the road!"
"Let's fight them with two enemies?" Xue Yuelin, or Ye Shenrong, was the most reluctant to take the sword in this way, because she couldn't compete with any of the Pei brothers at all. "No, I'm not sure I can beat the Pei brothers, and besides, they still have the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword in their hands!"
"Don't you also have the Gongbu Immortal Sword?" Meng Fantao persuaded, "Besides, it's not over, it's not over, you have to play a small trick......" He leaned close to Xue Yuelin's ear and said like this.
After Xue Yuelin listened, her expression of surprise overflowed: "This method is too risky, what if I miss?"
The corners of Meng Fantao's mouth raised, and he squinted at Xue Yuelin: "As long as there is that chaotic dispersion of the Tianyun Sect, how can you miss?"
Xue Yuelin frowned and blurted out: "How do you know that the 'chaotic mind is scattered'?"
"Haha, I know," Meng Fantao clapped his hands and laughed, "Sect Master Ye should have been instructed by Sister Xue to do that, right? In fact, before we left Huoye Mountain some time ago, Lu Hailong had already quietly given me and the Pei brothers a bottle of antidote to Chaos Scattering, and I only then knew that Tianyun Sect still had such a terrible medicine." According to my plan, the Zhanlu Immortal Sword must be in our pocket. ”
Xue Yuelin snorted coldly: "Lu Hailong, he is really troublesome...... At the beginning, I just wanted to recruit a few masters of the Mahayana realm to help. Brother Meng, it doesn't hurt to lend you the Gongbu Immortal Sword, but what about Bei Yuankai? Also, how do you justify yourself to other masters after Bei Yuankai closes?"
"It's easy. Bei Yuanguan is dead, can he still let Bei Yuankai continue to live? He doesn't have a peerless immortal sword, but after Bei Yuanshu, you and I are two enemies and one, and there are two peerless immortal swords of Zhan Lu and Gongbu, are you afraid that he won't succeed?As for the other masters, hehe......" Meng Fantao narrowed his eyes and smiled weirdly, "Originally, I planned to rely on the dragon clan, but I didn't want the nine brothers of the dragon clan to come out this time, this method would not work." However, I have a more brilliant idea. To say that the Pei brothers are now in the late stage of the Tribulation realm, the most terrifying thing for them is not the dragon clan, but the ......," he said, pointing upward.
Xue Yuelin understood what he meant and smiled
Said: "You can think of it if you are really convinced." Okay, it's up to you! but with a slight change. I lead Bei Yuankai away, you will catch up with us immediately after you turn off Bei Yuan, and then use the same method to turn out Bei Yuankai, so it is more safe. "She is not in the middle of the tribulation realm now, and Meng Fantao may not be able to kill Bei Yuankai with two to one, if he escapes, the big thing will be over, it is better to play tricks to the end, but nothing goes wrong.
"Okay, then we'll go find the Pei brothers now!" Meng Fantao couldn't wait.
"I'm going to fetch the chaos. Xue Yuelin got up and left the room.
......
"Old Lu, why are you back? Didn't you rush to Jinwu Mountain? Fat Butterfly and I are trying to go over and help you!" Miao Haoshang asked loudly as soon as he entered the Daode Palace. Behind him, Jiang Huangu, Shi Chongyin, Liu Yinyin, and the two sect masters of the Taiqing Sect and the Fengling Sect were also followed.
Lu Hailong said: "No! You two can't go! Although the dragon clan has appeared, you still have to watch out for other powerful demon beasts. How can I do it if there are no masters in the sect? I rushed back because I had something important to discuss with you. Sect Master, can you avoid it?"
Taiqian bowed and said: "Senior Lu, I am here to say hello to you on behalf of Senior Qiao, who was born in the Fengling Sect, Senior Qiao is now at a critical juncture in his cultivation, so it is inconvenient to come and meet you." ”
Lu Hailong's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "'Huifeng Snow Lotus' Qiao Xiaoyu, she is here too?"
"Exactly. I heard that our sect was temporarily residing in Tiandao Mountain, and Senior Qiao rushed to help. Taiqian arched her hand and withdrew from the hall to close the door.
Retracting his gaze, Jiang Huangu asked, "Old Lu, I saw your solemn expression just now, what is the matter?"
Lu Hailong sighed: "I never thought that the most important thing would be ushered in at the worst time." Nine days later, I'm going to survive the tribulation. ”
"What?" everyone was shocked.
Miao Haoshang jumped up from his chair excitedly and asked in disbelief: "No, Old Lu, so fast? You have only entered the late stage of the tribulation for a few days, and you are actually about to cross the tribulation? You're not joking with us, are you?"
Lu Hailong smiled bitterly: "Such an important matter, would I joke about this? I didn't expect it, it's really up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen." Even if it is postponed for a few more months, it will be okay after the decisive battle between the immortal cultivators and the dragon clan, but it is at this juncture. ”
"Old Lu, how did you know that you were going to cross the tribulation? Could it be a mistake?" Jiang Huangu asked.
Lu Hailong shook his head: "No, you don't know, halfway to Jinwu Mountain, I suddenly sensed that the Heavenly Tribulation was nine days later. It's a wonderful feeling, it's clear, it's certain, and you can't go wrong. ”
"Brother Lu, then don't go to the dragon clan for a decisive battle. You take the Xuanyuan Sword and stay in Tiandao Mountain to survive the catastrophe. Liu Yinyin said.
Shi Chongyin also chimed in: "Yes, Brother Lu." When you succeed in the tribulation, you will be a sword immortal! It's not too late to settle accounts with the dragons. ”
"No, I can't take the Xuanyuan Sword, it's the most important treasure in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, I can't risk it at such a critical juncture. We don't know what the Heavenly Tribulation looks like and how powerful it is, so I don't want any peerless immortal swords, just use my own immortal sword, and I can't stay in the Heavenly Dao Mountain to cross the tribulation, lest the power of the Heavenly Tribulation be too great and spread to others or destroy the Great Sect Protection Array. I'm coming back this time, first, to tell you about this, and second, to send the Chengying Sword back. ”
Miao Hao was anxious: "Then how can we do it? In addition to the Xuanyuan Sword, we also have the Seven Star Sword, the Chengying Sword, and the Panying Sword of the Fengling Sect guarding the Heavenly Dao Mountain, you don't use so many peerless immortal swords, but use your own immortal sword? Compared with the peerless immortal sword, of course, your life is more important!"
Lu Hailong's heart swelled with emotion, he patted Miao Haoshang on the shoulder, and comforted: "Good brother, I understand your feelings. It's just that this is an extraordinary time, and the peerless immortal swords that have been lost for a long time may have appeared one after another because of this catastrophe, and they have an important mission, how can I selfishly use them for my own use? Besides, the tribulation is difficult, and it is still unknown whether it will succeed or not, if I ...... Wouldn't it be a pity that the peerless immortal sword was damaged or lost?"
"Then let me and Brother Miao accompany you to the tribulation and protect the Fa for you. Jiang Huan Gu said.
Lu Hailong still shook his head: "No, I said that the Heavenly Tribulation is dangerous, and the two of you are in the Tribulation Realm, wouldn't it be bad if there is a joint reaction dragging the two of you to the Tribulation together?" After I leave, the two of you in the Taiqing Sect will count the two of you in the highest realm, and I will guard the Heavenly Dao Mountain well!"
"Then let me and Chong Yin go with you! When you crossed the tribulation, the two of us stayed far away and didn't get close, I was already in the late stage of Mahayana after drinking nectar in the Shuzang Palace, and Chong Yin had also ascended to the late stage of Mahayana after cultivating for all these years, so it should be no problem to protect myself. We're really not at ease with letting you go alone. Liu Yinyin said.
Shi Chongyin also said: "Brother Lu, we have to go with you no matter what!"
Lu Hailong couldn't resist the couple, so he had to nod his head and agree.
Li Yuanxiao, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Master, you don't bring a peerless immortal sword, at least you can change it to another immortal sword, right? The best immortal sword also has a high quality, you can take the highest quality sword in the sword hall." ”
"No need. My own immortal sword has improved in quality in the Shuzang Palace, and it is no longer comparable to the average top-grade immortal sword, so you don't need to worry. ”
"Alas, how can you not be worried...... Master, without further ado, you and the two seniors, Shi and Liu, hurry up and go to find a suitable place, the more fully prepared the better, and bring more Da Huan Dan and other pills......"
"The pills on my body are enough. If the catastrophe is too difficult to overcome, no amount of pills will help. Only a few of us know about the tragedy, so don't let anyone else know. In addition, I have to go to the Red Sun Sect first, the demon beasts surround the mountain, I need to go to the dragon clan for a while......"
