Three days later, on the top of a mountain more than 500 miles south of Fengliang Mountain, the mountain towered into the clouds. Li Yan led a hundred monks to fly over.
The mountains and rivers are no longer the clear mountains and green waters of the past. There are large pieces of fallen trees everywhere, as well as burnt and charred grass and trees.
Pieces of wasteland covered with rubble seemed to have experienced the coming of Shura. Large and small pits were connected one after another, and fragments of various magic weapons were scattered in many places.
Broken limbs and rotten intestines were hung all over the charred branches, and pools of purple and black were visible. A gust of wind blew by, and there was a strong smell of burnt odor in the wind, which made people sick to smell it. .
"Junior Brother Li, are you sure that the order we received is to come here to take over the defense?"
As soon as they flew to the top of the mountain, Gong Yuantai and the old members of the Qing Sixteenth Team Their expressions turned very ugly. After Gong Yuantai was sure that Li Yan was going to stop here, he asked with a complicated look on his face.
After Li Yan heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes. Of course he heard the vigilance, doubts, and even dissatisfaction in Gong Yuantai's words.
At the same time, he could also feel the abnormalities in the aura fluctuations of many monks after his death. These abnormalities were revealed as soon as he stayed in the air on the top of the mountain, and they were all old members of the Qing Sixteenth Team.
Li Yan took out a jade slip. After his consciousness sank into it, he looked around and then raised his hand and handed the jade slip to Gong Yuantai.
"This is the jade slip given by the superior. This is the right place. The location is clearly marked on it."
Gong Yuantai immediately took the jade slip and At the same time, the newly recruited fake alchemy monks such as Wang Ning and Wu Ye also felt the changes in the expressions of the old members of the Qing Sixteenth Team.
Wang Ning has a straightforward personality and immediately asked Gong Yuantai, "What's the problem here?"
Gong Yuantai pulled his consciousness away from the jade slip and his face changed. He became more solemn, and before he could answer, at this moment, two figures flew quickly from below, and someone shouted at the same time.
"But are the fellow Taoists from the Qing Sixteenth Team here to take over the defense?"
With so many people from Li Yan and the others flying over, it was obvious that someone below had already noticed it, but Li Yan The direction they came from was Fengliang Mountain, which was their rear area.
Fengliang Mountain’s defenses are lined up, and there are two defensive points on the east and west sides, Tumo Ridge and Jianfuyuan, to complement each other. If there are so many enemies attacking, they will definitely be discovered. , they will also get the message as soon as possible.
In addition, they received the order last night that someone would be on guard today, so they were already prepared.
Seeing someone flying quickly from below, Gong Yuantai immediately swallowed his words as they came to his lips, and the others had no choice but to move their eyes towards the person coming below.
The two figures flew in front of Li Yan and others at an extremely fast speed. When the rainbow light passed, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared.
The man is aboutHe was about forty years old, with a slender figure and deep-set eye sockets, but his pupils were black and white, but at this time they were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his aura was like a sword, which gave people a feeling of tax profit.
The woman looks to be only about thirty, with a mediocre appearance, but a plump and fair figure. A pair of lotus-rooted arms are partially exposed. In one hand, she holds a lancet that is one foot long. The blade is slender and sharp. .
She was wearing a lotus green dress. Just looking at her figure, she looked a bit charming. But in her half-squinted eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, everyone could see that this woman was definitely not a kind person.
The clothes of these two people were somewhat torn, and there were many dark brown stains on them.
Although the female cultivators' long green skirts were a little cleaner than the male cultivators' clothes, they also had a dusty aura. Li Yan felt a chilling aura and a strong smell of blood from their bodies!
The person who just asked the question was the lanky male cultivator. As soon as the two of them appeared, it was the male cultivator who spoke again.
"Please show me the jade slip!"
His tone was cold and cold, without any emotion. After saying that, a pair of bloodshot pupils stared firmly at Li On Yan Yan's face, he could see that Li Yan was the leader.
Li Yan looked at the slender male cultivator. There was a vigilance in his eyes that he did not trust anyone. The female cultivator beside him looked harmless, but the sword light in his hand was flexible.
The two of them had no clue when facing hundreds of monks. On the contrary, Li Yanyang was more like a lamb in their mouths.
Li Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and a light yellow jade slip appeared in his palm. With a slight toss, the light yellow jade slip flew lightly towards the slender male cultivator.
At the same time, Li Yan said calmly, "I'm the captain of the Qing Sixteenth Team, Li Yan!"
Seeing the light yellow jade slip fly over, the lanky male cultivator did not reach out to catch it. , but with a flick of his robe sleeves, a burst of energy turned into a giant palm, grabbing the light yellow jade slip in his palm.
A pair of eyes were still staring at Li Yan and the others. After seeing that Li Yan and the others had no other abnormal behavior, they released a ray of spiritual consciousness. After sensing the periphery of the jade slip, they confirmed that there was nothing abnormal. , the lanky male cultivator carefully probed his consciousness into the jade slip.
After a while, the lanky male cultivator left the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and his expression softened a lot. He first nodded to the plump female cultivator beside him, and then faced Li Yan again. One hand.
"It turns out to be Taoist friend Li Yan. Please come with me. Let's go to the cave below to talk about cross-border defense."
At this point, for the first time, his face showed a deep expression of concern. Strong feeling of tiredness.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
After confessing to Li Yan, the slender male cultivator said no more. There was a flash of light in his hand, and a palm-sized bronze compass appeared in his hand. He waved the Luo Ban downwards.
There was a "buzzing" sound in the originally empty void below, and then a faint light flashed across everyone's eyes quickly.
After seeing this, many people exclaimed, "This is... a grand offensive and defensive formation." Only then did many people understand that no wonder these two people had no fear in the face of hundreds of them. It turned out that they had already He was within the attack range of the opponent's formation.
It's just that this kind of "offensive and defensive formation" that can cover the entire mountain is already very difficult to refine. It is said that only Yuanying-level formation masters can refine it. Generally, It can be compared with the sect-protecting formation of second-rate sects.
Of course, the amount of spiritual stones consumed by such a large formation is very astonishing. If it were a third-rate immortal cultivating sect, it would probably take less than half a month to disperse the sect and withdraw.
Li Yan was also amazed. When he flew over this mountain just now, he felt a death threat, and he also guessed that there might be a formation restriction here, but he had the jade slip with him, so he felt that Also calm.
I just didn’t expect it to be such a large formation. If the other party desperately launches a large formation ban as soon as they meet, it is estimated that less than half of the hundred or ten of them will be killed immediately without any precautions. .
The slender male cultivator closed the compass in his palm and plunged downward. The plump female cultivator also showed a relaxed look at this time. After waving to Li Yan and the others, she also plunged in.
Of course Li Yan and the others had no objection to the other party's proposal, and the group of people followed the man and woman to the top of the mountain.
In the process of flying down, the two monks in front did not say a word, and the faces of the former members of the Qing Sixteenth Team in Gong Yuantai were even more gloomy and scary, and everyone was worried. look like.
This made the other monks, including Li Yan, feel something bad.
During the flight, Li Yan felt as if he had hit an invisible transparent wall head-on, but his body lagged slightly and he passed through.
The scene that appeared in front of us at this time was completely different from the scenery in the mountain that we had just seen from the outside. The mountain was about fifty miles in radius.
At this time, although there are many places on the rolling mountains with large tracts of fallen forest, there are still at least 30% green dots, which is a lot more vitality than outside.
Here, a team of monks were patrolling in the air. When these monks saw Li Yan and the others, led by two slender male cultivators, they just took a second look, and then flew away directly. Not even half a sentence.
Soon they landed on a small platform on the top of the mountain. This platform was very crude and should have been opened up by someone with the power to do so at will. The color of some rocks on the ground was consistent with the color of the mountain. It is very different after going through the wind and rain, it should not take too long.
The platform is not big, and there are eight or nine cave entrances, large and small, on one side of the mountain.
At this time, there were seven or eight monks standing or sitting on the platform. Some of them closed their eyes and meditated, while others were staring blankly in one direction. There were even some who were holding a branch or drawing on the ground. Or click, I don’t know what I’m writing or drawing.
All of their clothes were badly damaged, and two female cultivators even showed a piece of skin on their thighs, but their skin was covered with mud. They didn't seem to care at all, but glanced sideways at Li Yan and others. .
Each of these people seemed to have injuries on their bodies, and the areas where someone's clothes were cut were still bright red, as if they had been treated just now.
Just the appearance of the two female cultivators made more than a dozen female cultivators on Li Yan's team, including Wang Ning, have expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Although some female cultivators among the monks do not care about their appearance, most of them still pay great attention to their external image. Although the two female cultivators on the platform below have torn and dirty clothes, their faces are very... They were both clean and good-looking, but they seemed indifferent to the exposed skin.
After seeing the lanky male cultivator, some of the people on the platform just nodded, and even turned a blind eye to Li Yan and the others.
The slender monk and the plump female cultivator just nodded slightly and remained silent as well, leading Li Yan and the others towards the entrance of a cave in the northeast corner of the platform.
It seems that in this world, the arrival of Li Yan and the others is just a gust of mountain wind blowing by.
Since Li Yan and the others entered, they felt a deathly silence. Since it was broad daylight, they also felt lifeless.
This is a large cave, at least it is completely different from what Li Yancong looked like outside just now. It should not be a problem to accommodate one or two hundred people.
There are still twelve monks in the cave. Their clothes are also in rags, with blood and unknown liquid on them, and they all look like they are seriously injured.
The twelve people were spread out in every corner of the cave, either sitting cross-legged and meditating, or lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. There was no trace of them looking like immortals.
When some people saw Li Yan and the others coming, they just raised their eyelids, and no one paid attention or looked at them inquiringly. They were as indifferent as the monks they met outside just now.
After entering the cave, the slender monk glanced at these people and sighed softly. Although the voice was small, Li Yan was following behind, but he could hear it clearly.
At the same time, Li Yan also saw from the side the plump female cultivator's tightly biting lower lip and the whitened joints holding the lancet, while the slender male cultivator's face became even more tired.
The slender monk led Li Yan and hundreds of people to pass between these indifferent monks, and soon arrived at the back of the cave.
Seeing Li Yan and the others following him in, the slender monk did not hesitate and showed a smile to Li Yan for the first time.
"Fellow Daoist Li, next, I will explain the purpose and scope of defense of Tonggui Ridge.Let me explain to you. ”
