Chapter 237: Prepare in advance
Gu Qinfang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and slowly straightened up. Although the injuries on her body were slightly serious, she didn't pay attention to it, after all, this place was not far from Fangcun Mountain, and she could reach it by flying for a while.
She raised her head and looked at the location where Du Min was, only to find that Du Min, who was supposed to be there, had long since disappeared. Maybe he took advantage of Gu Qinfang's injury, so he quietly escaped.
Now there are only two choices in front of Gu Qinfang, one is to hurry back to Sanqing Palace to treat his injuries, and the other is not to go back for the time being, and catch Du Min first. If Du Min ran away, maybe the Sanqing Palace would not face such a few people next time, it should be a large army sent by Lingying, could Lingshan and Sanqing Palace be able to resist it? And after all, the Lingshan Cultivation Federation is not a well-organized sect, but a loose organization, Gu Qinfang felt that there must be many scattered cultivators who heard that the Cultivation Alliance had offended the Lingying Sect, and before the people from the Lingying Sect came, they were going to find an opportunity to escape.
For Gu Qinfang, with dozens of Jindan monks, the Xiulian could still resist it, but if Lingying sent the Yuanying Monk, it was still a Yuanying Monk who was more powerful than Qin Guan and her, and the Xiulian would be difficult to resist. If such a thing happens, the meaning of the existence of the Xiulian will be greatly reduced, and it will also lose face for the Sanqing Palace and the other five major sects.
"No, we still have to catch the monk in the foundation building period first, otherwise he will run away and go back to his so-called master, and things will be tricky. Gu Qinfang thought in her heart.
Therefore, she didn't care about the injuries on her body, her spiritual sense suddenly opened to the maximum range, glanced around, and found Du Min who was trying to escape, and then chased after him in an instant. Before Du Min fled far away, Gu Qinfang had already chased Du Min, and this time she didn't have much effort, so she grabbed Du Min, who was defenseless.
Du Min exclaimed in surprise: "Senior, why do you have to press each other so tightly, aren't you afraid that my family ancestor will come here and save me back?!"
Gu Qinfang didn't have time to deal with him, her injuries had further deteriorated, and if she didn't take Du Min back to Lingshan as soon as possible, her injuries would probably worsen. Gu Qinfang stunned Du Min with her spiritual power, and then flew towards Lingshan, and before Chun Yuxia and the others arrived at Lingshan, she had already entered the Sword Pavilion.
The stewards who were waiting in the Sword Pavilion couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Gu Qinfang, who was bleeding from the corners of his mouth and his clothes were torn, dragging a monk from the foundation building period back. Qing Xuan and Yu Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Qinfang and asked, "Elder Gu, what's wrong, why are you so seriously injured?"
Gu Qinfang waved his hand, threw Du Min aside, motioned for the stewards to take him down, and then spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and said, "I'll talk about this later, I'll go back to Fangcun Mountain to recuperate for a few days." After a while, there will be a group of Jindan Stage Lingying Sect disciples who just escaped back, you have to take good care of them!" Then he didn't explain anything more, and went straight through the teleportation array of Lingshan Mountain and returned to Fangcun Mountain.
The other Sword Pavilion stewards looked at each other, not knowing why Gu Qinfang had been injured so seriously after just going for so long, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts, thinking that it was a Yuanying Monk from the Lingying Sect who had made a move.
But Qing Xuan and Yu Qi naturally knew that if it was a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, then Gu Qinfang would not come back so quickly, and he also caught a monk in the Foundation Building Period. So the two of them took a deep breath and said to everyone: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, you should first send someone to suppress this monk in the foundation building period and take care of him." Moreover, Elder Gu also said that there would be a group of Jindan monks who had escaped in a while, and they might have been shocked by Elder Gu, so they would come back to Lingshan and be captured. ”
Sure enough, as Gu Qinfang expected, the inner disciples of the Lingying Sect led by Chun Yuxia had already come to the outside of the Lingshan Mountain when Gu Qinfang had just returned to his cave mansion, hesitating and not knowing how to enter the Lingshan. Fortunately, Yu Qi had been looking out of the Lingshan Bell Tower, and after seeing this group of people, he called the stewards in the Sword Pavilion and came out to "greet" them together.
Chun Yuxia and the others looked at the oncoming people with embarrassed faces, and after bowing, they didn't know what to say. Yu Qi was still understanding, knowing that this group of people was frightened by Gu Qinfang, and he didn't say anything else, even concealed the news of Gu Qinfang's injury, and said bluntly: "Everyone, I have heard about this matter from Elder Gu, and I ask you to come with me and stay in Lingshan for the time being." Let's talk about the rest in a few days. Please!"
Chun Yuxia took a deep breath, and when he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head: "I want to ask you for more advice, please!" With the inner disciples of the Lingying Sect behind him, he followed Yu Qi and the others into the Lingshan. However, what everyone present didn't notice was that an inner disciple threw an unknown object from his sleeve before entering the Spirit Mountain and fell into the sea without making any waves. This inner disciple of the Lingying Sect pretended to be indifferent, and followed the team into the Lingshan Mountain Protection Array.
In Fangcun Mountain, Liao Xingchen found that something was wrong with Gu Qinfang who teleported back to the mountain, and hurriedly sent a message to Qin Guan and other elders, and came to Gu Qinfang's cave mansion together. When they saw Gu Qinfang, who was seriously injured, fainting in the atrium, Liao Xingchen and the others were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Qinfang, who was unconscious.
Qin Guan's face was solemn, and he said, "How could Elder Gu suffer such a serious injury in return? Could it be that a Yuanying Monk of the Lingying Sect could not make a move?" In his thoughts, although Gu Qinfang had just been promoted to the Yuanying Stage not long ago, he would suffer such a serious injury, and it would definitely not be the Jindan Monk's doing, but what he didn't expect was that it would actually be Gu Qinfang who was injured by a monk in the foundation building period by relying on a foreign object.
Several elders of the Alchemy Hall stepped forward in turn, and after Gu Qinfang's vein, they discussed Gu Qinfang's injury, and together they believed that Gu Qinfang was indeed injured by a strong spiritual power in the late Yuan Infant period. Thankfully, most of her injuries were traumatic, and although they looked severe, they could be revived after a few years with simple treatment.
Yu Rou took out a spirit pill, opened Gu Qinfang's mouth, and took the spirit pill for her, then turned to Qin Guan and the others and said, "Everyone, this spirit pill can make Elder Gu's injuries recover as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry." ”
Qin Guan nodded and said to everyone, "Let's let Elder Gu rest here in peace." Elder Yu, I'll leave it to you here. Then he took the rest of the men with him and went to the council chamber.
After everyone sat down, Qin Guan said, "You must have also understood the situation, Elder Gu is now seriously injured, and he was injured by the spiritual power of the Yuan Infant Stage, so how should we face the next problems?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw someone coming outside, and after the door was opened, the person who came in was Yu Qi. After Yu Qi saluted everyone, he said to Qin Guan: "Palace Master, Elder Fang Cai Gu went to pursue the people of the Lingying Sect and captured a monk from the Foundation Building Period, according to the other captured Lingying Sect monks, this monk from the Foundation Building Period is actually the leader of the Lingying Sect sent this time, and he is also the disciple of a monk in the late Yuan Infant Period. ”
Qin Guan nodded solemnly: "It's no wonder, Elder Gu is estimated to have been injured by the monk in the late Yuan Infant period." ”
Yu Qi's face was strange: "Palace Master, this is not the case, according to the person who interrogated the monk of the foundation building period, there was no monk in the late Yuan Infant period who made a move, and Elder Gu was injured by the life-saving magic weapon carried by the monk. The magic weapon that signed up, according to the little monk in the foundation building period, was refined by his ancestor, that is, the monk in the late Yuan Infant period, and had the power of a blow from the late Yuan Infant monk. ”
Liao Xingchen on the side was a little misty when he heard this: "Yu Daoyou, what is the backstage of the foundation building period monk you are talking about? How come there is an ancestor of the late Yuan Infant period for a while, and a disciple of a late Yuan Infant monk for a while, how many backstage monks are there in the late Yuan Infant Sect? Could it be that there are so many monks in the late Yuan Infant Sect?"
Yu Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's not the case, this person is actually a backstage, there is only one monk in the late Yuan Infant Stage! According to the other Lingying Sect Jindan monks, this Foundation Building Stage monk is named Du Min, and he is the great-great-grandson of Elder Du, one of the seven elders of the Lingying Sect, and because of his good cultivation qualifications, he was accepted as a disciple by this Elder Du. As for why he wasn't accepted as an apprentice, it was probably because of his seniority. ”
Everyone had strange faces, but they didn't expect that the fertility of the Yuanying Cultivators of the Lingying Sect was quite strong, and they all already had great-great-grandchildren, this is the fourth grandson!
Qin Guan sighed: "This Elder Du really values this 'grandson', and he actually puts so much thought into him. However, it was fortunate that it was not him who made the move, otherwise Elder Gu estimated that it would be difficult to come back. ”
Everyone nodded, Yuanying Monk was different from Jindan Monk after all. Among the Jindan monks, there may not be much difference between the cultivation in the early stage of Jindan and the middle stage of Jindan, and they can still win with some means. But when it comes to the level of the Yuanying Monk, it is different, the difference of one realm, that is, the difference between heaven and earth, not to mention what means to rely on, even the ordinary four or five monks in the early stage of the Yuanying Dynasty are no match for a monk in the middle of the Yuanying period, not to mention that Gu Qinfang is two levels lower than Elder Nadu!
But even so, everyone still didn't dare to be careless, after all, it was just a delaying tactic now, as long as Elder Nadu couldn't see his disciples for a day, he would definitely not be at ease. And maybe after that one-time magic weapon was used, Elder Du had already received a message and came here to avenge his great-grandson.
Yu Qi saw that the hall was so depressed, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, palace master, the people from the Lingying Sect said that there is a reason why they only sent such a few people this time!"
Qin Guan hurriedly asked, "What is the reason? Could it be that the war with the Lie Imperial Hall has officially begun?"
Yu Qi nodded: "It's not just a war with Lie Yutang, it seems that the Chongxu Gate is also unstable." Originally, between the three parties, the contradiction between the Chongxu Sect and the Lingying Sect was greater, and they had been fighting each other on a small scale for several years. But recently, I don't know why, Lie Yutang also disagreed with the Lingying faction, and began a series of frictions. And the scattered cultivators among the three factions also fled on a large scale because of these. However, because the control of the Lieyutang side is relatively strict, and it is originally an alliance of major chambers of commerce, it is also not stingy with spirit stones for loose cultivation, so not many people run out. But the Lingying faction is different, it was originally an organization in the form of a sect, and it didn't attach importance to the loose cultivation in the territory, so the vast majority of the loose cultivation escaped from the control of the Lingying faction. However, most of them defected to the Imperial Hall, and only a small number of them came to our Spirit Mountain. ”
He paused slightly, then said hesitantly: "As for Chongxumen, there are some situations that are unclear. It is said that Chongxumen is a place similar to that of the Lingying Sect, and the scattered cultivation there must be the same as the loose cultivation in the Lingying Sect, and it is not allowed to be valued by the Chongxumen. But I don't know why, none of the scattered cultivators escaped there, and none of them defected to our Lingshan. It's kind of weird. ”
Qin Guan shook his head: "Forget about this for the time being, let's prepare how to deal with that Elder Du." Whether it is the Sanqing Palace or the Xiulian, no one can compete with a monk in the late Yuan Infant period. Let's talk about it, okay?"
All of a sudden, everyone in the hall began to whisper to each other, but there was no result for a long time. After all, it was a serious monk in the late Yuan Infant period, neither a ghost cultivator who was not worthy of the name, nor a person from a casual cultivation background, but an old monster who had cultivated for an unknown number of years in the Lingying Sect, one of the five major sects in the Beihai Sea, and had seen more of the world than all these people here.
Qin Guan looked at Yu Qi with his eyebrows and asked, "Elder Yu, I don't know what everyone in the Sword Pavilion said?"
Yu Qi arched his hand and replied: "Palace Master don't worry, your stewards have already seized the time to interrogate the Jindan monks of the Lingying Sect, and it is said that the Lingying Sect should not have much energy to deal with us now." In the front-line camp, although it was Elder Du who was in charge, he still had to prepare for a big battle with the Lie Yutang. On the other side of the front with the Chongxu Gate, there is another elder in the late Yuan Infant stage, and they don't know that there are still Yuan Infant monks in our Spirit Mountain, so they shouldn't come to attack Spirit Mountain with great fanfare. ”。
Qin Guan was still not so relieved, pondered for a moment, and ordered everyone: "Even if no one comes to attack, we have to be prepared." The Lingying faction is facing the enemy on two fronts, and he probably doesn't care about adding more Xiulian and Sanqing Palace. In this way, Elder Luo, all of you from the Foreign Affairs Hall will go to the mountain gates of the other five sects to inform all the Yuanying seniors, and ask them to come as soon as possible in case of an enemy attack. And the rest of the people hurry up to prepare supplies, in case someone surrounds Lingshan and Fangcun Mountain, we can also have a preparation. ”
The crowd said yes and dispersed.
