Volume 5 Sword Qi Nine Heavens 1026 The wind and rain are coming
When the two of them entered Jinguang City, because the tokens and other items on Xiao Wu's body had fallen into the hands of the demon army, it took a lot of effort to enter the city smoothly.
The moment he stepped into the Golden Light City, Xiao Wu bit his lip lightly, and an inexplicable complex color flashed in his eyes.
It has been nearly ten years since she left to go out on a mission, and the people who accompanied her have long since become ghosts, and she herself was almost hit, which is really the most dangerous experience in her monastic career, and now she is back in the city again, so that she can't help but feel like she is in a different world.
"Senior Sister Xiaowu, you still need to report the matter of the Vulture Slope to the elders, your body can still hold up, right?" Liu Ming glanced at Xiao Wu and asked.
"Okay, no problem. Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said with a smile.
Liu Ming nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a cloud of black gas enveloped the two of them and flew towards the main tower in the city.
In the lobby of the central main tower.
"I've seen two elders!" Liu Ming bowed to the Haoyue boy and the elder surnamed Gu in front of him, and Xiao Wu also bowed.
"You two don't need to be polite, you have just received a report, Master Liu, nephew, you have made another contribution this time, and Xiaowu, this time has made you suffer. Haoyue said with a smile on his face.
Liu Ming smiled and didn't speak.
"Thank you, Elder, for your concern. Xiao Wu replied gratefully.
She had already heard from Liu Ming that this time she was able to successfully sneak into the Vulture Slope, and Haoyue Tongzi privately borrowed his broken army basket to play a big role.
"Senior Nephew Liu, why did only one of the Fifth Senior Nephews of Xiao have been rescued, and the other disciples have already been killed?" Elder Gu asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"The disciple was about to report this to the two of them, and the ghost army stronghold in the Vulture Slope seemed to be similar to the ordinary ghost army stronghold. However, after the disciple sneaked in, he saw ...... "Liu Ming 1510 will see the situation in the belly of the Vulture Slope, as well as the things mentioned by Xiao Wu, all of them told the two Haoyue Tongzi."
"There is such a thing that turns the disciples of various sects into zombie-like ghosts......" The elder surnamed Gu and the Haoyue boy glanced at each other, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.
They analyze from the intelligence received. I had already guessed that the Vulture Slope should be a real base for the Demon Legion, but I didn't expect the situation to be so sensational.
"The disciples have fought with those zombies who have lost their minds, and according to Senior Sister Xiaowu, most of them were only monks in the crystallization stage before, and after becoming zombies, their bodies are invulnerable. The strength has greatly improved, and it is not much worse than the average True Dan Realm cultivator. Liu Ming continued.
"When I was in captivity, I happened to hear from the guards that they called the zombified monks ghosts. Xiao Wu also interjected to explain.
"Ghost?" Haoyue Boy was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the elder surnamed Gu. The latter shook his head, apparently unaware of the name.
"What is the approximate number of monks imprisoned there?" the elder asked in a deep voice.
"The disciple took a cursory look, and it should be around a hundred. Liu Ming recalled the situation inside the Vulture Slope and said.
"When I was arrested a few years ago, there weren't really many of them, but in recent years they have gradually increased. Xiao Wu thought about it and added.
When the Haoyue boy and the elder surnamed Gu heard this, their faces became a little heavier.
"Master Liu's nephew has also worked hard these days. Let's go back and rest first, and Xiao Wu's nephew, I see that your breath is unstable. Let's recuperate in the city for a while. After a deep groan, the Haoyue boy commanded.
"Yes, the disciple retired. Liu Ming saluted, and Xiao Wu and the two quickly walked out of the tower.
Seeing the figures of Liu Ming and the others walking out, the faces of Haoyue Boy and the elder surnamed Gu were completely gloomy.
"I can't imagine that a small vulture slope can hide so many secrets. Knowing this, he should have sent a few teams to act with Liu Ming in the first place. Maybe you can also rescue some disciples who haven't been ghosted yet. Haoyue said with some annoyance.
"Even if we send people over now, I'm afraid that the guards will have been strengthened there. It's a fleeting opportunity. The elder surnamed Gu also sighed.
"I don't know if there are similar situations in the rest of the ghost army strongholds. Haoyue Boy thought about it and said again.
"It shouldn't be, the number of people Liu Ming mentioned is roughly the same as the number of elite disciples who have disappeared in our four major legions in recent years, and the rich and abnormal yin qi vortex they discovered, according to my estimate, should be a large-scale Yin Gathering Array, and these demon legions should not have the ability to build a second one. The elder surnamed Gu said slowly with a hint of a deep groan flashing in his eyes.
"Anyway, let's report this matter to Uncle Yao first. Haoyue Boy said.
Elder Gu naturally nodded in agreement.
Leaving the tower, Liu Ming and Xiaowu quickly returned to their living quarters in the city.
"Senior sister, how do you feel now?" Liu Ming said with concern in mid-air.
"It's no big deal, although I have suffered a lot this time, but fortunately, there is no danger, and after staying in that environment for a long time, the mana in my body has been refined a lot, and I vaguely feel that the opportunity to break through the bottleneck has been found. Xiao Wu said with a long breath.
"Could it be...... Hehe, then I'm going to congratulate my sister. Liu Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile.
The two then chatted a few more words, and then went their separate ways.
Liu Ming quickly returned to the cave mansion of the seventh squad and practiced behind closed doors.
In the secret room of the cave, there was silence.
On a futon in the middle, Liu Ming sat cross-legged, his whole body wrapped in black mist, forming a large round ball as black as ink.
From time to time, wisps of black silk converge towards the ball from all directions, making the ball bigger and thicker.
After a long time, a soft sound broke the silence in the room.
The entire black ball then collapsed and dispersed, turning into billowing black gas, and in the black gas, five fog dragons and five fog tigers circled around Liu Ming, emitting bursts of dragon roars and tiger roars.
The next moment, all the Fog Jiao Fog Tigers once again turned into wisps of black qi and submerged into their Heavenly Spirit Cover, disappearing without a trace.
He opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, although his cultivation was not refined, but the mana operation was much smoother than when he first entered the evil ghost path, and he could clearly sense that the mana in the spiritual sea was becoming more and more refined.
"It seems that the peace of this evil ghost path is coming to an end. Suddenly, Liu Ming touched his chin and showed a look of thought.
The information jade slip retrieved from the Giant Mountain Fortress last time, he also had a cursory look at the contents, which was the distribution map of the strongholds of the demon legion in various places, as well as the strength of each stronghold.
What does the sect want this information to do, he can roughly guess a few points.
He keenly felt a sense of oppression that was about to come by the storm, and before that, he had to increase some strength as much as possible.
......
As Liu Ming guessed, in the following time, the Jin Guang Army and the armies of the other three major sects began to frequently receive various instructions from the upper echelons, and elite squads were sent from time to time to raid some of the outlying strongholds of the Demon Legion.
The four major legions are looking for some peripheral strongholds with relatively weak garrison strength, and each stronghold has only one or two Zhendan-level demon commanders at most, and in the face of the targeted attacks of the elite squads of the four major legions, there were heavy casualties, and dozens of strongholds were captured in a short period of time.
However, the Demon Legion also reacted quickly, and instead of shrinking its defense, it began to mobilize its forces on a large scale, taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the four major legions were dispatched, and began to carry out round-the-clock onslaught on the outer fortresses of the four major legions.
This unexpected situation surprised the high-level leaders of the four major legions, and fell into an extremely passive situation, and after some deliberation, they had to temporarily abandon the intention of attacking the stronghold of the demon legion and instead focus on defense.
Fortunately, the demon legion did not seem to intend to go too deep into the sphere of influence of the human race, and immediately abandoned the outer fortresses they had captured, which made the high-level of the four major sects also breathe a sigh of relief.
Even so, the situation in Jinguang City gradually became tense, and the seventh team naturally began to receive various tasks frequently, constantly running around various places in the Demon Path.
The seats in the team that were originally vacated due to the disappearance of the big man with the bow and the old man with a hunchback were naturally replaced by others.
......
Tens of thousands of miles away from Jinguang City, in a rocky area, a cyan stone tower more than 100 zhang high stands here, and a slowly rotating black ball is suspended at the top of the tower, flashing with a faint black light.
This is an important intelligence transit base for the Demon Legion.
At this moment, around the stone tower, a chaotic battle is in full swing.
Hundreds of demon legion armor soldiers had already surrounded the stone tower in the middle.
The legion was led by two True Dan Realm demon commanders, and the eight demon commanders of the crystallization stage each led a phalanx to guard the eight directions, and most of the phalanx were low-level ghost pawns in the condensation stage and spirit disciple stage.
And Liu Ming's seventh squad, and the other two squads, a total of more than 20 people, were surrounding from all directions at this moment, sacrificing all kinds of spiritual weapons that flashed with spiritual light, turning into pieces of colorful light, and blasting towards the demon army in the middle.
For a while, the cries of fighting came and went, and wherever the light passed, the dim sky was reflected transparently and brightly.
It seems that in terms of combat power, there are three True Dan on the side of the Terran, and nearly twenty monks in the late stage of crystallization and the False Dan stage, which have the advantage, but the strict defensive power of the evil ghost legion's phalanx is also extraordinary, and it has blocked several waves of strong attacks by Liu Ming and others.
In the southwest direction of the cyan stone tower, Liu Ming suddenly jumped into the air, and with a one-handed sword trick, the lilac bitter wheel sword in front of him shook in place, and a huge purple sword light of more than ten zhang suddenly appeared, and slashed down fiercely forward.
