Cheng Ling and Cheng Yanbing hid aside, and Jiaolong didn't notice it, and rushed straight into the lake.

Cheng Ling's heart jumped, he knew that the dragon must have returned to its lair, and once it found out that the dragon egg and the dragon pool were gone, it would definitely go crazy again.

He hurriedly rushed out and began to set up a formation on the surface of the lake, to temporarily trap the dragon, otherwise he would not be able to stop it with the seal in the molten cave alone.

Cheng Yanbing saw that he kept laying down the pillars around the lake, and admired it in his heart. She didn't know that Cheng Ling had been here once before, and when she was poisoned, she had observed the nodes on the surface of the lake, and she thought that she could see through the illusion in an instant, which was much more clever than the other two array mages.

Sure enough, Cheng Ling's array pillar was only halfway through, and the roar of the dragon came from the lake. He hurriedly activated the seal in the molten cavern, and kept laying down pillars around the lake.

When the dragon returned to its lair and found the changes in the lava cave, it was completely furious, and wanted to rush out of the lava cave and kill all the people of the Phaseless Sword Sect.

But suddenly, the sealing formation rose in the lava cave, and it suddenly understood, it turned out that those humans wanted to seal themselves, it was not good, and hurriedly rolled around in the lava cave, and the long tail hit the seal, wanting to rush out.

Outside, Cheng Ling also felt fluctuations in the sealing formation in the molten cave. I knew that I could only delay it as long as possible, and that I could only trap it when the two seals were joined together.

However, there is still a connection point between the two layers of seals, and the trapped formation on the surface of the lake is the key. He was able to lay a column around the lake even faster.

At this moment, the divine sense swept the breath of Ling Xiao and Chen Song behind him. He was overjoyed, and hurriedly said loudly: "Brother Song, Senior Brother Ling Xiao, come and help, I am about to complete the seal." ”

It turned out that after Ling Xiao and others rushed out of the Jiaolong, a big battle between the two sides was affected by the explosion of the Jiaolong of death, and most of the casualties were lost, and now only Ling Xiao, Chen Song, Song Yingjie, Cheng Hongyi, Chen Mo and others remain.

Although there are few people, the combat power and body skills are good. Pursued by the dragon, he also escaped. After all, Jiaolong was not worried about the descendants in the molten cave, and after chasing for a while, he turned around.

Ling Xiao and the others gathered together again, they were not willing to fail at all, and Chen Song also said that Cheng Ling should not be dead, and they still had a formation mage.

At the moment, he decided to hang Jiaolong from afar, if Cheng Ling is not dead, then there is still a chance, if he dies, he will return to the sect and let the bigwigs find a way, anyway, they will not suffer.

Now seeing that Cheng Ling and Cheng Yanbing are still alive, and hearing him shouting there, saying that the formation is almost complete, where there is still hesitation, they all use their body skills and rush over.

As soon as they reached the lake, they felt the fluctuations in the lake. Chen Song trusted Cheng Ling the most, so he asked, "Brother Ling, what should we do?"

Cheng Ling finally laid down the last formation pillar, the last formation flag was thrown out, and the trapped formation was raised. He said, you enter the true element at this node to help me stabilize the formation, and I want to connect the two layers of seals. ”

Chen Song, Song Yingjie, Cheng Yanbing, and Chen Mo did as he said without hesitation. Ling Xiao and Cheng Hongyi observed for a while, and then they propped up their hands and slowly entered the Zhenyuan into the trapped array.

Cheng Ling's eyes flashed, and he saw that there was something greasy in it, and he didn't say it thoroughly, and began to activate the seal outside the valley again.

Gradually, bursts of colorful light spread throughout the valley, which began to rise from the lake, instantly covering the entire lake, and then extending to the inner gourd valley, and finally forming an oval-shaped light shield around the valley.

Inside the lake, the fluctuations of the dragon's impact formation also slowly weakened until they disappeared.

Cheng Ling let out a long breath and said slowly: "Thank you senior brothers and sisters, if it weren't for your help, this sealing formation would not have succeeded at all, these are all your credits!"

Ling Xiao nodded proudly, feeling that Cheng Ling was really good at being a person, and there was a rare hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Chen Mo, Song Yingjie, and Cheng Hongyi glanced at him, and then stopped talking, since people took the initiative to send credit, how could there be any reason to push out.

Chen Song sighed in his heart, Brother Ling is too open-minded, and let everyone share such credits.

Only Cheng Yanbing, his eyes were shining, and he was even more curious when he looked at Cheng Ling's eyes.

Cheng Ling's reactions were in his eyes one by one, he didn't mind, but was very happy with Ling Xiao's expression, he didn't want to show his edge too much, he was still very weak now, and he needed more accumulation.

It's just that Cheng Yanbing's reaction was a little inexplicable, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a while, so he put it aside.

Ling Xiao coughed dryly, and said, "Since our mission has been completed, let's go back to the sect first! Presumably, without the Jiaolong King, the beast tide should also be over." ”

Everyone nodded, and they followed him towards the outside of the valley!

Out of the valley, I found that there were many fewer demon beasts. It turned out that they fought with Jiaolong before, and Jiaolong was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't command the demon beast to continue attacking.

They fought in the valley for several days, and the demon beasts were without the command of the Dragon King, and for a while, they were beaten by the Phaseless Sword Sect and the supporting Jindan monks and suffered heavy losses, and they all began to slowly disperse.

Along the way, the crowd returned to the city wall without hindrance.

Ling Xiao immediately said: "Master, Jiaolong has been sealed by me, but unfortunately we are the only ones left. ”

Xuan Wuxiang's face was full of joy, but he forced himself to press and said, "Okay, Ling Xiao, you have done a good job! As for the fallen disciples, the sect will also keep them in mind." ”

The corners of Chen Song and Cheng Hongyi's mouths twitched, and they really looked down on Ling Xiao's performance. secretly said in his heart: He has the merit of fart, only brute force, if it weren't for Cheng Ling, he wouldn't be able to seal it if he didn't move.

But they don't say it, they don't have to find it. It's just that I look down on Ling Xiao's belly in my heart.

Xuan Lingzi glanced at Cheng Ling with relief, he knew that Cheng Ling's contribution must be the greatest, didn't he see that only one of the three formation mages came back, but he also knew Cheng Ling's thoughts, and he didn't say anything.

Chen Hai and Cheng Yuanke were happy. Among the few people who came back, their families accounted for two, which was a good thing! The position of the young sect master was even more promising.

Chen Hai said: "Sect Master, now that the demon beasts have basically retreated, and the sect's predicament has been solved, then the previous promise should be fulfilled to show that the sect master has clear rewards and punishments." ”

Cheng Yuan and Song Hanyu all echoed.

Xuan Wuxiang was silent, there are seven people who are back now, Ling Xiao, Cheng Yanbing, and Cheng Ling have already accounted for three places, so there are only two places left.

He wanted Song Yingjie to also become the young sect master, so as to suppress the power of the Chen Cheng family, but if he wanted to do so, the two families would definitely not agree. If the position is given to them, the power of the two families will be stronger, which is really not what he wants.

For a while, he was so hesitant that he couldn't make up his mind.

Cheng Ling was not interested in the identity of the young sect master, he only needed the resources of the sect. He was about to speak, but Xuan Lingzi's eyes lit up and he interjected: "Sect Master, the old man thinks there is a way to try. ”

Xuan Wuxiang asked, "What method?"

Cheng Ling sighed secretly, of course he knew that Xuan Lingzi saw through him and wanted to excuse himself, so he stopped it first.

Xuan Lingzi glanced at Cheng Ling and said, "The sect master said before that the captains of the three squads must be the candidates for the young sect master, right?"

"Not bad!"

"Then there are only two places left. The old man believes that since the establishment of the young sect master this time is related to demon beasts, it will ultimately be assessed by the number of demon beasts killed. ”

"Oh, how are you going to be assessed?"

"Sect Master, please look, there are not many demon beasts in the city now. Let's take it for a day, and within one day, whoever kills the top two demon beasts is the candidate for the young sect master. ”

Xuan Wuxiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Wonderful! This method is good, just take one day, and the assessment will start immediately!"

When Chen Song and the others heard this, they hurriedly rushed down the city wall and killed the demon beasts!

Cheng Ling nodded secretly in his heart, the old man was really vicious, so that no one would say that it was unfair, and he also planted a thorn between Chen Cheng's two families to let them compete.

The best result is that the two places belong to one family, so that they are estranged, and Xuan Wuxiang can control a lot of initiative if he reconciles with it.

The day passed quickly, and the final quota was really as Cheng Ling guessed, Chen Song and Chen Mo won the top two.

Cheng Ling was happy, he knew that the Sword Hall had a sword formation-like coordination technique, and the two of them joined hands, which was naturally much faster than Cheng Hongyi and Song Yingjie to kill demon beasts.

Cheng Yuan's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, he glanced at Chen Hai coldly, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and left.

Chen Hai doesn't care about him, we rely on strength, your own subordinates have no ability, what kind of face do you throw at me.

Xuan Wuxiang was overjoyed, and announced on the spot: "Okay, this sect has announced that from today onwards, Ling Xiao, Cheng Yanbing, Cheng Ling, Chen Song, and Chen Mo will be the young sect masters! Ten days later, a succession ceremony will be held, and at that time, rewards will also be awarded to the meritorious disciples of this beast tide!"

All the disciples cheered in unison, the beast tide was lifted, and then it was time to enjoy the rewards of the sect, how could there be any unhappiness.

Three days later, all the beast tides outside the sect were cleared, and all the disciples returned to their old monastic life. It's just that in the main halls, there is still a constant talk about the five young sect masters and the upcoming succession ceremony.

In the Taoist temple of the peak of the Daomen Mountain, Cheng Ling and Xuan Lingzi sat opposite each other.

Xuan Lingzi said: "Ling'er, this beast tide, you have been running around for the sect and doing a good job, what do you think?"

Cheng Ling said: "Master, I want to strengthen my formation cultivation, if it weren't for Ling Xiao and them arriving at the end, I think the seal would need to take a lot of effort." ”

"What else?"

"Cultivation also needs to be improved, I am still young now, this is a weakness, but also a strength, I can have more time to lay a good foundation. ”

"I won't attend the succession ceremony. Please also ask the master to help me explain to the sect master, just say that I am healing!"

"In the next two years, I don't plan to leave this place again, one is to accompany the master, and the other is to lay a good foundation and improve my strength. ”

Xuan Lingzi's heart warmed, and he nodded: "Okay, in the last two years, you can spend the last two years with the teacher, the sect master, the old man will talk about it!"
