Chapter 284: Another Dark Force

In the sky with the main island of the Holy Puppet Gate as the center, the weather that was originally fine suddenly changed suddenly, and out of nowhere, pieces of black clouds that stretched for hundreds of miles floated down, almost touching the sea surface.

The sky above the sea is dark, like twilight, the sea is howling, the wind is high, and the storm is coming.

Yun Ni and the three of them came to the square outside the secret room, and when they raised their eyes, they saw that the dark clouds were surging in the sky, and there was a faint flash of electricity inside, and dozens of huge gold and black spirit boats, like strong fortresses, were displayed side by side at the front of the sea of clouds, and there were densely standing figures on them.

These spirit boats are slightly different from the flying spirit boats seen in the past, and there are black platforms more than ten zhang high on them, engraved with all kinds of dense runes, which look like magic circle altars.

Seeing this, Bai Fengyi's expression changed slightly, with a wave of his palm, a stone slab array appeared in front of him, and after a few strokes of his fingers on it, he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, open the ban, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

As soon as she gave an order, a rapid scream sounded from the entire Holy Puppet Gate Main Island, including the eight array islands outside.

Immediately afterward, the spiritual patterns on the gray-white stone pillars standing all over the island lit up, and the light was great, and all the arrays engraved on the ground of the entire island and the magic circles engraved on the buildings began to operate.

In a burst of "rumbling" sounds, the entire main island began to tremble violently, and the terrain began to undergo drastic changes.

At the top of the highest peak on the island, smoke and dust were billowing out, and the entire mountain slowly sank into the belly of the mountain, revealing a huge hollow, and hundreds of flying boats with golden spirit patterns all over their bodies rose into the air almost at the same time, hovering high in the air, waiting for the battle.

At the original bend of the river, the water flow was suddenly led under the island by a huge channel, and the exposed riverbed was also lit up with golden light, and a huge puppet beast shaped like a turtle appeared from it, and the runes on it were bright, and the blue light overflowed, exuding bursts of rich water spiritual power fluctuations from it.

In the dense forest on the second floor of the island, the sound of trees collapsing and breaking continued to sound, and a puppet beast with a height of a foot and a leopard shaped like a tiger and a leopard rushed out of it, squeezed on the edge of the second floor, and roared silently in the direction of the sky.

Several True Immortal Elders galloped to the square from all over the island, each with dozens of disciples and hundreds of humanoid puppets gathered behind them.

In some important areas of the island, there are also True Immortal Realm elders who lead the disciples and puppet armies to go out and defend them tightly.

In less than ten breaths after the anomaly appeared, all the prohibitions on the entire main island were activated, and all the forces were mobilized.

At the same time, the sea around the main island was violently shaken, and the sea water was surging, rotating wildly around the eight small islands, forming a huge whirlpool of currents.

The white round towers standing on the islands are like lighthouses on the sea, releasing circles of bright light, reflecting the snow white of the sea.

Han Li and Lin Jiu had already returned to the square on the side of the White Tower, joining the Holy Puppet Sect monks stationed around.

Blue light flashed in his eyes, and he could clearly see the figure standing above him in the dark clouds high in the sky.

These people were all masked with black cloths, and they were all wearing a black cloak, which was somewhat similar to Lin Jiu's, but their sleeves and necklines were all embroidered with a layer of gold edges, and a cross pattern was embroidered on their chests.

Han Li was no stranger to this pattern, he had seen it on the Shifang Lou token he had obtained from Ping Yaozi at the beginning.

"I didn't expect it to be a person from Shifanglou. Han Li muttered with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Strictly speaking, they are not the people of the Ten Directions Building, but they are just the people who were summoned by the 'Ten Directions Extermination Order'. Lin Jiu pondered for a moment and said.

"Oh, what did Lin Jiu Daoyou say about this?" Han Li asked with some confusion.

"As a major dark force in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, Shifang Lou is actually similar in nature to our Impermanence Alliance. It's just that they are mainly engaged in intelligence and assassination business, and the issuance of bounty orders, search warrants, strangulation orders, etc., are all within their scope of business. Their tasks are not just for internal members, but for everyone. In other words, anyone who can afford the price can issue a task, and if they have the strength, they can also take their task, as long as the two involve one, they can be regarded as a junior member of the Ten Directions Building. As a result, their organization is not as rigorous as the Impermanence Alliance, but their internal relationships are more intertwined and complex. Lin Jiu explained.

"In other words, the people of the Impermanence Alliance can also issue and receive tasks in the Shifang Building. These people just gathered after receiving the Ten Directions Extermination Order?" Han Li thought for a moment and asked again.

"Yes, this order is a kind of slaughter order issued by Shifang Building, and it costs a lot of money. Once it is issued, it is almost within the entire immortal realm, gathering forces to launch an attack on a certain sect or family. All those who participated, everything they gained within the destroyed sect belonged to themselves, and afterwards, naturally there was no need to worry about being held accountable. Lin Jiu's eyes showed a solemn look and explained.

When Han Li heard this, he also understood in his heart that the terrifying thing about this order was that it had a strong temptation for a large number of scattered cultivators, especially some monks below the Mahayana stage who were stuck in the bottleneck due to the lack of cultivation resources, how could they not take this opportunity to take a risk?

And once such people join them, due to the identity of Shifang Lou, they have no worries, they are often more ferocious than most people, and they are more ruthless in attacking these sect families, on the one hand, of course, to plunder more cultivation resources, but on the other hand, it is not to vent the resentment and jealousy that have accumulated for a long time.

Moreover, the Holy Puppet Gate has been in business for so many years, and just by selling the puppet, it has accumulated a huge amount of resources and wealth, but I am afraid that in the eyes of everyone, it is a big fat piece that can no longer be fat.

As the two of them were talking, they suddenly felt the ground trembling wildly under them, and those grooves embedded in the ground seemed to flow like silver paste, overflowing with white light that was almost substantial.

There was a rumbling sound from below the entire island, and a huge crack began to appear on the ground around the square, separating the area around the White Tower.

And the area that was separated was frantically raised to a height of hundreds of zhang.

Han Li flew out and looked towards the island from a high point in the air, and was shocked to find that an area in the center of the entire array island had detached from the island and turned into a huge stone puppet.

It was shaped like a warrior, the stone around it was as white as jade, but it was as hard as steel, and it held a silver giant knife hundreds of zhang long in its hand, with spiritual patterns all over it, exuding bursts of amazing sharp fluctuations.

The other surrounding array islands were all in the same situation at this time, and they all turned into giant puppets nearly a thousand feet high, some of them looked like wild giant apes, some looked like stone armored giants, and some were shaped like snowfield wild wolves...... In short, there are different forms, and so on.

In addition, the color and shape of the spirit patterns on the bodies of these puppets are also different, some are dark yellow rings, which cover the outside of the torso, some are crimson strips, like a red ribbon, wrapped around the arms and body, and some are pitch black, imprinted on the chest like tattoos.

At this time, in the dark clouds in the sky, three figures were standing side by side at the front of a pitch-black spirit boat.

In the middle of it, there was an extremely long and deep scar on the cheek under the cloak, from the left corner of the forehead along the forehead, through the right eye, and then cut into the lower cheek, which was covered by a black cloth.

On the right side of it stood a slender young man with a sword straddling his waist, who did not wear a cloak and hat on his head, but was only covered with a black cloth, and his exposed half of his cheeks were as white as jade, a pair of thick eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, and his eyes were bright and bright, looking rich and outstanding.

These two people have an incomparably thick aura on their bodies, and they are both Golden Immortal Realm cultivators.

Standing on the other side was a large man who was nearly a foot tall and had a somewhat scorched face, and although he was wearing a cloak, he could still see a dark cyan metallic luster on his forehead, apparently wearing some kind of metal forehead guard.

Although this person is only a peak cultivator of the True Immortal Realm, being able to be placed side by side with these two Golden Immortals is enough to show the unusual nature of his identity.

"Hey...... Lu Ji Daoyou is quite satisfied with our Shifang Building's arrangement this time?" I saw the scarface man smile, looked at the cross-sword man beside him, and asked.

"This time I spent so much money to find you Shifanglou, it is your influence that I valued, and it is indeed a bit unexpected to be able to gather so many people this time. It's just that the cultivation of these people is too messy, isn't it? Just like a ragtag army put together by stragglers, how much combat power can they have?" the cross-sword man replied indifferently.

Excluding the three of them, among the two or three thousand people on these battleships, there are only more than forty True Immortal Realm monks, and as for the others, many are Mahayana stage monks, and there are even many monks who are in the combined refining period, from the perspective of cultivation level, it is indeed very chaotic and mixed.

"Hehe, most of these people are already scattered cultivators in the mountains and fields, and they can cultivate step by step, which one of them hasn't been fighting all year round? If they are at the same level of cultivation, how can their combat power be weaker than those guys in the Holy Puppet Sect who only know how to manipulate puppet techniques?" Scarface said with a smile.

"At this moment, isn't it a little inappropriate for the two of you to talk about this here? Brother Blood Cold Dao, I came to this Guyun Continent and I still have the task assigned by the master, let's get rid of this matter as soon as possible. The charred man suddenly spoke.

"Chongluan Daoist don't worry, it's just a test attack. At this point, the full picture of their defense has been revealed, and the content of the information collected is basically the same, and we just need to do what we originally planned. It's just that after attacking the Holy Puppet Gate, fellow Daoists, don't forget the thing you said earlier. Scarface said with a smile.

"Don't worry. The scorched man said lightly.
