Chapter 8.
If Xu Qingfan was awake at this time, he would not have dared to believe that the old man with a powerful face in front of him was actually the unruly Liu Huaxiang and Uncle Liu who he was familiar with. Where are the novels updated the fastest?Please look for the Reading Pavilion www.DuShuGe.net
Although his face is still old and his body is still thin, the terrifying and powerful momentum on his body is shocking, making people only think that this Liu Huaxiang is a strong man from the past and the present, not a dying old man who has left only a trace of the afterglow of the sunset.
Perhaps, at this time, there is no Xu Qingfan, and there is no Ting'er, and he is no longer the lonely and eccentric Liu Huaxiang, but a generation of grandmaster Li Xuhan!!
But after seeing that Liu Huaxiang was scaring Xiaobi away, he looked at the grass house where Xu Qingfan was and sighed slightly, squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice: "If God can leave me so much more time, I don't have to be so anxious and hasty to arrange." ”
Only Liu Huaxiang himself knows that although he used the "Soul Destroying Technique" to forcibly stay in the yang world, the power in his body is also rapidly losing with life, and he will take advantage of Xu Qingfan's retreat to go down the mountain to find the materials needed to perform the secret method this time, in addition to saving time just in case, it is also because Liu Huaxiang knows that his time is running out. Or in another ten or twenty years, his strength will not even be as good as the current Xu Qingfan. That's why he had to prepare everything he could while he still had the strength.
Sighing again, Liu Huaxiang raised his hands, and a colorful light appeared with him raising his hand, and quickly surrounded Xu Qingfan's grass house, forming a protective barrier, and then turned his head towards a certain place on the top of Jiuhua Mountain, his eyes widened, and he shouted fiercely: "Open!!"
Although the voice is not loud, it is extremely powerful, and the wind and clouds are changing, and Xiaobi on the side is trembling endlessly.
And with his soft drink, the entire Jiuhua Mountain Peak suddenly began to vibrate strongly. Then, somewhere on the top of Jiuhua Mountain, which Liu Huaxiang was looking at just now, the earth cracked, and an unfathomable tunnel suddenly appeared at the top of Jiuhua Mountain.
This tunnel is extremely deep and huge, although the sun is high at this time, but the tunnel is still pitch black, people don't know how deep this tunnel is. And the entrance is even more huge, even Xiao Bi's several feet tall figure can be easily entered and exited.
And this tunnel is exactly what Liu Huaxiang said to Xu Qingfan just now, although the "Nine Pole Array" sealed the surroundings and the sky of Jiuhua Mountain, it could not seal the underground of Jiuhua Mountain. And the Jiuhua Patriarch established such a tunnel to prevent Jiuhua Mountain from being besieged one day and the disciples from escaping.
It is precisely because this tunnel is so secretive and important, so Liu Huaxiang had to use his magical powers to make Ting'er unconscious before calling out the tunnel. After all, this authentic secret is only known to him and Zhang Hualing even in Jiuhua Mountain.
It's just that Jiuhua Mountain is about 2,000 zhang high, there are many rocks, and the mountain is solid. And to establish such a tunnel at the top of Jiuhua Mountain, although hidden, it is unimaginable how much effort was spent during the period.
After the tunnel appeared, Liu Huaxiang made a move with both hands. Ting'er, who fainted on the ground, immediately floated up and flew into his arms, and then Liu Huaxiang did not hesitate to jump into the tunnel with Ting'er in his arms.
Seeing Ting'er being taken away by Liu Huaxiang, Xiaobi was in a hurry, and she couldn't care about being afraid of Liu Huaxiang for a while, so she jumped into the tunnel.
As the figures of Liu Huaxiang, Ting'er, and Xiaobi disappeared into the tunnel, the earth shook again, and the huge entrance of the tunnel quickly closed, and soon disappeared on the top of Jiuhua Mountain.
The cold wind howled. A snowflake was blown, and with the departure of Liu Huaxiang and others, the top of Jiuhua Mountain once again fell into a tranquility. Only Xu Qingfan was left in the thatched hut, and there were one or two phoenix chirps from time to time.
During Xu Qingfan's retreat, several earth-shattering events occurred in the immortal cultivation world.
First of all, the newcomer competition that would be held in the immortal cultivation world before the first year of Jiazi was destroyed by unknown monks, and more than ten elite disciples of the Great Gate Sect all died, even the "** Palace" and "Jiuhua Mountain" in the six holy places, there were also disciples killed and injured.
What's even more terrifying is that the six holy places that presided over the newcomer competition didn't even notice it at all.
Then. Jiuhua Mountain, one of the six holy places, was attacked by unknown monks, and it is said that those unknown monks were the ones who had destroyed the newcomer competition in the immortal cultivation world before, and the reason why he would destroy the newcomer competition was precisely for Jiuhua Mountain. But he didn't know who the unknown monk was, and he actually killed Jiuhua Mountain, one of the six holy places, with his own strength. In the end, Jiuhua Mountain reluctantly announced that the mountain would be closed indefinitely. Until the vitality is restored.
For this reason, even many "wise people" in the immortal cultivation world claimed that Jiuhua Mountain was afraid that it would permanently withdraw from the immortal cultivation world. As they said eight hundred years ago.
And what the hell did it matter that the Divine attacked Jiuhua Mountain, but all the people in the know were silent, and the entire immortal cultivation world speculated for a while.
If these two pieces of news are just shocking, then the next three are incredible.
Following the announcement of the indefinite closure of Jiuhua Mountain, another holy place in the six holy places, the "** Palace" also underwent a change three years later, more than 40 elders in the palace, there were 30 of them who suddenly cultivated in a short period of time, and soon fell into reincarnation because of the exhaustion of Shouyuan, and the palace master of the "** Palace" Li Tianying was even more sane, and personally killed more than 10 disciples and sisters in the door , but they didn't have time to catch up with the closure of the mountain, and the mountain gate was attacked by unknown people, and their strength dropped again.
In view of the fact that the strength of the "** Palace" is only the third-rate in the immortal cultivation realm after successive twists and turns, the other four holy places only provided some help to the "** Palace" and then took back the "Xuanwu Order" mastered by the "** Palace". In the face of this situation, the "** Palace", whose strength has been greatly damaged, dares to be angry but does not dare to speak.
Then, after the deliberation of the four holy places, the "Xuanwu Order" was given to the "** Gate", which was originally second only to the six holy places in strength and prestige, and officially recognized the "**" as a new holy land.
But something even more surprising happened, not long after it became a new holy place, there was civil strife in the "** Gate". In the midst of the civil strife, the Nine Daoists, who had been famous in the immortal cultivation world for a long time, were unexpectedly detained. Deng Tianyan, the eldest disciple of the young disciples in the "** Gate", won the support of other ** Gate elders and became the new head of the "** Gate".
Almost at the same time, the head of the Qingxu Sect was also premeditated by the elders of the sect to overthrow him. The head of Xindi is a little-known person, and he is a big wonder in the world of cultivating immortals.
In addition, the most striking thing in the immortal cultivation world during this period of time is undoubtedly the "Eight Desolation Palace", which was originally as famous as the "** Gate". Although the strength is extremely strong, it is located in a remote area. Therefore, the disciples of the "Eight Desolation Palace" have rarely appeared in the field of vision of the cultivators in the immortal cultivation world. But in the past few days, for some reason, the "Eight Desolation Palace" has found reasons to destroy more than ten immortal cultivation sects one after another, and several of these immortal cultivation sects are quite weak, but they have no resistance in front of the "Eight Desolation Palace". In a few shots, the reputation of the masters in the "Eight Desolation Palace" can be said to have resounded throughout the entire immortal cultivation world, such as the sixty-four generals of the Flying Heavens, or the twelve evil immortals, all of whom were originally unknown monks. But the strength on display was astounding. Coupled with the radiant young disciple Desolate Evil and the mysterious eight hall masters in the "Eight Desolation Palace", the strength displayed by the Eight Desolation Hall has faintly surpassed the six holy lands!!
At the same time that the world of cultivating immortals fell into chaos, the mortal world was also in chaos, and several of the most powerful countries in the prosperous Middle Earth were fighting endlessly for various reasons, and the sand tribes in the Western Desert began to invade the prosperous Middle Earth, and countless mortals died every day due to the war. For a while, it seemed that the entire vast land of Shenzhou had become crazy.
There has always been such a saying in the immortal cultivation world - "The immortal cultivation world is chaotic." The world is chaotic first. ”
From the abnormal changes in the immortal cultivation world during this time, to the successive wars in the mortal world, and then to the catastrophe legends that have been circulating in the immortal cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, all the monks in the immortal cultivation world were panicked for a while.
Could it be that the next catastrophe in the immortal cultivation world will really be just like the legend, and it will come soon?
At this time, there are still a full fifty years before the next catastrophe begins.
The sound of fighting, the sound of pain. Screams, screams, countless voices representing the dark side of humanity continued to sound.
The reflection of the sword in the sunlight, the bloody arrows that shoot out when the sword pierces the human body, and the faint red eyes that are faintly red because of killing or being killed, this is a mortal battlefield.
Even with Liu Huaxiang's Mahayana cultivation, seeing the melee between hundreds of thousands of people under his feet, countless people died every moment, countless unjust souls flew in the sky, and the sound of crying resounded in his ears. I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, and I was secretly glad that I didn't bring Ting'er, otherwise with Ting'er's soul and body changed by the magic beads, I don't know what kind of changes will happen when I see this kind of scene.
The reason why Liu Huaxiang came to this battlefield was to collect the soul and essence blood.
Although Xu Qingfan has the characteristics of a phoenix because of his body. Therefore, there is no need to use the soul and essence blood of human beings to enhance the vitality of the body. But if you want to perform a secret method for Xu Qingfan, in addition to enhancing your vitality. There are still many places where the soul and blood of the soul are needed.
For Liu Huaxiang, with this secret method, other materials are easy to find no matter how precious they are, but a large number of human souls and essence blood are not so easy to find. He is not Zhang Xusheng, and he can destroy a sect or country without hesitation in order to collect essence blood and unjust souls.
Originally, Liu Huaxiang wanted to find some bandits and bandits in the mortal world to kill them to collect the soul essence and blood, so that although the speed was extremely slow, it would not violate the harmony of heaven, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for large-scale wars to occur everywhere in the mortal world.
The battle lasted for a whole day, and when the sky turned from bright to pitch black, both sides beat their drums and withdrew their troops, waiting for the next day to continue fighting.
The originally extremely noisy battlefield was also quiet after the two sides collected their troops, except for a few low-level soldiers who were not dead and no one cared about, intermittently letting out groans of pain and despair.
Although it was dark at this time, the ghosts wandering over the battlefield were the most active, and the blood in the countless corpses under their feet had not yet dried up. It was the best time to collect the souls and essence blood, but Liu Huaxiang still did not act, but hid his figure more secretly in the dark night, as if he was waiting for something.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for more than a dozen purple-clothed people to suddenly appear on the battlefield. If Liu Huaxiang had seen Zhang Xusheng's other outfit, he would have been greatly surprised by the dress of these more than ten purple-clothed people, because these more than ten people, except for the purple clothes with no gold lines on the edges and no rings on their hands, all the other outfits were exactly the same as Zhang Xusheng!!
I saw that after these purple-clothed people appeared on the battlefield, they immediately had a blood-red gourd in their respective places, and they had words in their mouths. As their lips closed, there was a sudden surge on the battlefield of Nuo Dadi, driven by the strong wind, the scars on the bodies of those dead soldiers suddenly expanded, and a large amount of blood gushed out, and after gathering together, they turned into a sea of blood and rushed towards the more than ten blood-colored gourds, which seemed to be small in size. But it was very light to put that sea of blood into it.
After doing this qiē, the more than ten purple-clothed people took out a white gourd one after another, and there were words in their mouths, and then, the ghost cried loudly, and the countless souls wandering in the sky were included in these white gourds.
It wasn't until after this qiē was done that the more than ten purple-clothed people left satisfied.
Silently looking at the abnormal change in front of him, Liu Huaxiang sighed slightly, and began to use his magical powers to collect the few souls and essence blood left on the battlefield.
This is the eighth time that Liu Huaxiang has encountered such a scene in the past four years.
At first, I knew that there was a war in the mortal world. Liu Huaxiang was originally glad that he had saved some hands and feet, but as the war continued to expand, Liu Huaxiang finally realized that something was wrong.
Among these countries that participated in the war, there were some emperors who were quite virtuous, and how could they all wage endless wars for trivial matters? And they continued to expand the scale of the war without any reason? There was no benefit except to waste money and money and make their own country a great loss, but they still enjoyed it?
It is not surprising that a madman appears, but if all the emperors of the mortal world become madmen, then things are very suspicious.
So while collecting essence blood and souls, Liu Huaxiang was also constantly investigating and secretly visiting, but he was shocked to find out. The kings of the major empires who participated in the war were affected by an evil law that had been lost for many years at this time, and the sects responsible for secretly protecting the royal families of the major empires did not inform the six holy places of these news at all.
Originally, Liu Huaxiang planned to personally inform the major holy places of the news he had obtained. But I suddenly heard about the changes in the ** Gate, Qingxu Gate and other factions. Acutely aware of a hint of an anomaly. I always felt that the changes in the major holy places over the years would not be so simple, so I didn't dare to act rashly. Rather, it is to investigate the root cause of these anomalies for yourself.
And then shortly after. Liu Huaxiang discovered this group of mysterious purple-clothed people, and whenever a certain battlefield is over, they will quietly appear, collecting a large amount of essence blood and souls, but they don't know what purpose they are used for.
What's more, looking at the uniform clothing and actions of these purple-clothed people, it is obvious that they are all monks under the same sect and organization, and so far, Liu Huaxiang has seen more than fifty purple-clothed people with different characteristics, each of whom has a cultivation in the Dan period, and this strength has far surpassed that of the major holy places. And with such strength, Liu Huaxiang has not heard of such a powerful organization, and looking at their strange actions, the conspiracy hidden behind them is inevitably shocking.
If Liu Huaxiang was in his heyday, then he would definitely arrest all these more than ten purple-clothed people and ask them what kind of organization they were and what the purpose of various actions were. It's a pity that Liu Huaxiang's strength has dropped greatly at this time, and he has the heart but strength to do so, although he has secretly tracked him many times, but those people in purple have acted closely, and there are masters to respond, Liu Huaxiang has not found the slightest inside story for several years.
Finally, collecting the little essence blood and souls left in his hands, Liu Huaxiang took a deep look at the more than ten purple-clothed people who disappeared into the sky, and then sighed secretly, his voice full of worry.
Then, his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, in the Xuanye Hall in the Eight Desolation Palace, it was bright at this time, but it was extremely quiet inside, and when you entered it to take a closer look, you would find that there were two people who were spying there at this time.
One of them, tall, full of red hair, with open chest and back, and gold rings on his limbs, was the main hall master of the "Eight Desolations Palace", Barbarian, who was sitting quietly on the main seat in the hall at this time, with a calm face.
The other person is much younger, although his face is delicate, but with a hint of evil charm, wearing a gossip feather coat, but it is Deng Tianqi who has become the head of the "** door"!!
But Deng Tianwei, who had always been arrogant, had a bit of arrogance on his face at this time? He just stood respectfully in front of Mantian, looking at him, as if he was not the head of the Holy Land, but just an ordinary disciple of the Eight Desolation Palace.
But he heard Mantian ask softly: "Master Deng, can your master tell where the Chaos Bell is hidden?"
Deng Tianyan frowned and said, "No matter what kind of punishment that old guy receives, even if he doesn't say it, I'm also very troubled." ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Mantian's eyes, but his voice became softer and softer, and he asked slowly: "Master Deng, you won't be reluctant to give up a mere magic weapon like the Chaos Bell, right?" Or, seeing your former master, you can't bear to do it?"
A trace of panic flashed in Deng Tianqi's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Where will I be reluctant, we have made an oath at the beginning, seniors, you will help me seize the position of the head of the ** gate, and the juniors will exchange it with the treasure of the town faction, the Chaos Bell, and the juniors will never break the contract." ”
After a pause, a trace of hatred flashed in Deng Tianshu's eyes, and he said fiercely: "As for that old guy in Jiuze, how could I show mercy to his subordinates? I have served him as a cow and a horse for so many years, and he is going to abolish my position as the head disciple for the sake of my cultivation of the purple car, if it weren't for the help of your predecessors, he would have ruined my cultivation, I can't kill him, where can I not bear to attack him?"
Mantian nodded lightly and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then it is the best." You have to remember that I asked you to be the head of the ** door because you took the Chaos Clock in exchange, if you can't hand over the Chaos Clock, then you don't have to be the head of this door. Since I can lift you up lightly, then I can pull you down even more lightly, do you understand that?"
"The juniors understand. Deng Tian hurriedly said.
"Also, your junior brother Qiu Xuan has been found? Until now, there are still many old guys in your ** sect who want him to be the head of the sect, and he knows a lot about the inside story of this time, and it is a scourge to keep it, so you must get rid of it quickly. Mantian settled softly again.
Hearing Mantian mention Qiu Xuan's name, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Deng Tianyan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, the junior understands." ”
Hearing Deng Tianyu's answer, Mantian nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand casually and said, "Then you can go back." ”
Seeing Mantian's attitude of coming and wading away, a trace of anger flashed in Deng Tianshu's eyes, but his face became more and more respectful, bowed deeply to Mantian, and then slowly retreated.
