Another quarter of an hour passed, and Cai'er finally returned, landing on Zhou Changyin's shoulder. Its head is drooping, listless, and its cute appearance makes people laugh.

"Hehe, I can't blame you, the time limit for chasing soul incense has passed, and I didn't have much hope just now. Zhou Changyin gently rubbed the colored feathers, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Chirp!"

Colors immediately flew and frolicked merrily in the woods.

"Who are these men in black, and how did they enter the secret realm?" Zhou Changyin pondered in his heart, but he couldn't find any relevant clues: "It's still important to heal, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, hey, I don't know if Xu Feng has broken through the encirclement." ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Now that our secret forces have been exposed, there is no need to hide it anymore, and the only thing we can do next is to kill and make a clear road for our juniors. ”

In the messy valley, a man in black said coldly, the killing intent on his body was like substance.

"I'll do it!"

More than a dozen men in black responded in unison, and a tragic aura permeated them.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

For the next twenty days, Xu Qing never showed up again, but there was a bloody wind and blood rain in the secret territory. A group of blackfriars suddenly appeared in the secret realm, and they seemed to be enchanted, killing everywhere for no reason at all.

The black-clothed monk is elusive, and his methods are extremely vicious, and disciples from all sides fall almost every day. These blackfriars often used a lose-lose style when attacking, and the disciples of all sects and sects were miserable, and once they used the forbidden weapon, these blackfriars would immediately scatter.

If there were only a dozen or so foundation-building monks making trouble, of course, the forces on all sides would not be the slightest bit afraid. However, half of the black-clothed monks have already achieved Jindan Dao, and it is difficult for idle people to resist a move. Although they all achieved the Jindan Dao with the help of the elixir, no one dared to ignore their destructive power, if there was no forbidden weapon god to deter people, no one could suppress them at all, and they would be even more unscrupulous.

The battle was continuous, the blood was raining, and all forces had to be careful every day to guard against the attacks and killings of the blackfriars, and in just a few days, more than thirty people died at the hands of these blackfriars. Good thing in a few days. The forces of all parties have successively used the elixir to achieve the Jindan Avenue, and the situation has only improved a little.

The turmoil lasted for half a month, and nearly fifty people were injured by the various sects and factions together, and the black-clothed monks were almost wiped out, and in the end, only three black-clothed men who had reached the Jindan stage of cultivation dragged their seriously injured bodies to escape with their lives, and no trace was found.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Near the valley where the dragon pool was located, Xu Qing took away all his breath and hid quietly in the mountains and forests, his eyes firmly fixed on the pool of water in the valley. His injuries are clearly not fully healed. His face was still a little pale, and there seemed to be a little tiredness hidden under his flat look.

"It would be excusable to say that all the forces from all sides are fighting for the treasure of Xianli Palace, but now the dragon marrow fruit has been taken away by me. Why are they still so persistent in fighting for this place?" Looking at the disciples of the various sects who looked a little solemn by the Hualong Pool, Xu Qing was very puzzled and depressed in his heart.

"In fact, the reason is very simple, when the dragon marrow fruit was ripe, the visions were full of treasures, and the disciples of all factions saw it with their own eyes. Although the dragon pulp fruit has been taken by you. But as long as you can get the treasure tree in the pool, are you afraid that there will be no strange fruits?" Yun Huang's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he spoke with a hint of mockery.

"The dragon pith fruit is the treasure of the dragon family. There is divine power contained in it, and if it is transplanted and cared for by ordinary means, I am afraid that it may not blossom and bear fruit for thousands of years. Xu Qing smiled slightly wryly, looking at the little tree in the pond with love and hate.

The last time the disciples of the sects practiced, except for Xu Qing in the secret realm, everyone returned empty-handed, because no one could forcefully break through the peerless array guarding the Dragon Pool and the Xianli Palace. However, this time the situation was a little different, the disciples of all factions were very well prepared, and it was really difficult to predict whether they could break through the big array.

"Judging from the power they have, can they break through the great array?" Xu Qing asked the Cloud Emperor for advice, I am afraid that no one will know better than him, an old antique.

"Who would dare to break into the territory of the Dragon Clan easily?" said the Cloud Emperor in an extremely proud tone, even if he couldn't enter the mysterious ancient tower to verify, Xu Qing could imagine the appearance of the Cloud Emperor standing with his hands in his hands and looking arrogant.

"And then?" asked Xu Qing with a dark face.

"Since no one can break into the territory of the Dragon Clan, is it necessary to arrange a killing array to protect the treasure tree? In my opinion, that old friend of mine originally arranged the Heaven Splitting Great Array in the center of the pool, just to prevent the younger generations of the Dragon Clan who were baptized in the Dragon Pool from naughtily injuring the treasure tree. "Now that the Cloud Emperor is trapped in the mysterious ancient tower, his perception of everything in the outside world must be mediated by Xu Qing, so he can only rely on speculation on the power of the great array in the pool.

"To prevent the younger generations of the dragon clan from accidentally injuring the treasure tree, if this is the case, I am afraid that the great array will only make the fifth-order true dragon suffer at most. Xu Qing pondered for a moment, and there was obviously a flash of joy in his eyes.

If the Great Array could really only make the fifth-order True Dragon suffer a little at the beginning, then after the endless years had passed, the power of the Great Array had doubled, and presumably the power of the Yuan Infant Stage had been enough to shake the Great Array. All the forces have forbidden weapons in their hands, and if they join forces, there will definitely be no problem in breaking the formation.

"You seem to be hoping that they can easily break the formation?" the Cloud Emperor asked, somewhat puzzled.

"All I care about is the water in the Dragon Pool, but what they care about is the Dragon Treasure Tree, so the only thing I need to worry about is that they can't break the Great Array in a short period of time, so they have some strange ideas, such as drying up the water in the pool and seeing if they can find the base of the Great Array at the bottom of the pool. Xu Qing patiently explained, but his eyes were still watching the movements of the various forces.

Emperor Yun suddenly realized, raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that you are worried about this, but I have a better way here, and it will benefit you a lot." ”

"Hmm, what way?" Xu Qing asked with interest.

"If the treasure tree suddenly withers and dies, will they still go to such great lengths to find a way to break the formation? Once this tree leaves the Dragon Transformation Pool, it will immediately wither, and there is nothing the Emperor can do now, rather than let it die, it is better to make the best use of it. The Yun Emperor sighed softly, and there seemed to be a faint sadness lingering in his words.

"How to make the best use of it?" Xu Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, it would be better if he could let these people take the initiative to retreat, and the risk would be much smaller.

"This tree is so delicate that if you cut a wound on the tree, its life essence will immediately drain wildly. However, you have the dragon marrow fruit hidden in your heart, as long as you put your palm on the tree, all the essence of the treasure tree will immediately pour into the dragon marrow fruit in your body. Emperor Yun first explained to Xu Qing in detail, and then said a little irresponsibly: "As for how you enter the heart of the Dragon Pool, it depends on your ability. ”

"Heh, if I break into the heart of the pool, I'm afraid they will be even more eager to break the formation. Xu Qing smiled bitterly, but there was a little movement in his expression.

"Hey, none of this has anything to do with me, I'm just telling you what works, and how you do it depends entirely on your means. ”

Yun Huang behaved quite irresponsibly at this time, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Xu Qing stroked his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In the valley where the Dragon Pool was located, more than a hundred monks gathered together, and they were wary of each other, and no one dared to let down their guard.

Compared with a month ago, the number of scattered cultivators has basically not changed much, but the other forces are completely different, the number of people is much smaller, and even the number of some forces is less than half of what it used to be.

However, the scattered cultivation forces and the sect forces have the same change, in their camps, there are almost a few Jindan realm cultivators sitting in them, and the huge momentum makes the nearby foundation building stage disciples all panic.

"Are you fellow Daoists a little excessive, since you have already said that we will join forces to break the formation, why are you still hiding, and you only brought less than half of the disciples to break the formation. Huo Yan's expression was a little unkind, his gaze swept over the disciples of various sects, and finally stopped at Zhou Changyin.

Zhou Changyin's forehead was provoked, and a tyrannical aura flashed in his eyes: "I can't wait, the strong enemy is coming, and the senior brothers in the sect have lost their lives one after another, which makes all the Taoist friends laugh." ”

"Hmm, is there such a despicable person in the world who dares to do such a sneak attack and plot?" Huo Yan's eyes were full of fierceness, and he looked angry and indignant.

"Heh, I really want to admire the luck of your fellow Daoists, I and other major sects have been attacked one after another, but you Daoists have not encountered them at all. Zhou Changyin's heart was full of anger, and he couldn't bear any evidence, so he could only speak sharply.

"Hehe, it may be that we are hiding in a relatively hidden position, so we have escaped several killings. Huo Yan's expression was calm, as if he didn't hear Zhou Changyin's words at all.

"Let's talk about how to break the formation first, as for other details, it's not too late to settle the score in the future. Xu Feng said lightly, his cold eyes brushing over Huo Yan's face without a trace.

Huo Yan's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly regained his composure: "What Xu Daoyou said is reasonable, let's talk about the business first, and when the business is handled properly, we will definitely find out the real culprit for all Daoists." ”

Huo Yan stood on the edge of the Dragon Pool, his eyes reflecting the clear water of the pool.

Shout!

His fingertips shot out a bolt of light, aiming directly at the dragon treasure tree in the Dragon Pool.

Airplanes!

The calm Dragon Pool suddenly changed, and when the fingers were about to shoot to the center of the pool, they suddenly shattered, and small black marks spread all over the heart of the Dragon Pool.

After the fingers completely dissipated, the heart of the Dragon Pool regained its tranquility again, and the tiny black marks disappeared in an instant.

"It's better for me to make the bricks that lead to jade this time, and all of you can watch it from the sidelines. Huo Yan frowned deeply at first, then turned to look at the person in charge of the various forces, and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoists, please!"

"Please!"

......

The people in charge of all the forces agreed and let Huo Yan lead many scattered cultivators to use their means. (To be continued.) )
