Chapter 311 Uninvited Guest
"The Eight-door Golden Lock Array is unpredictable. According to the theory in the book, if you enter through the Shengmen, Jingmen, or open the door, you will be lucky; if you enter through the Shangmen, Jingmen, or closed door, you will be injured; if you enter through the Dumen or Death Gate, you will be injured. If you enter, you will perish”
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head in embarrassment.
He only had a brief understanding of it, and he was not very proficient in military formations, so naturally he couldn't crack it.
Each portal is not static. During the irregular rotation, if you accidentally enter the wrong portal, you will die.
He can do it on paper, but if it comes to practice, he can't afford to lose too many troops.
Lin Shan was also helpless, and the virtual astrolabe was not omnipotent. Against the formations established based on the terrain, loopholes could be exploited to some extent, but against the flexible and changeable military formations made up of manpower, there was nothing he could do.
Demon King Kuihu couldn't help but stand up, his power surged like thunder, and he wanted to violently break the formation directly.
However, on the opposite side of Hongya Cave, an equally sharp qi machine was projected from a distance, locking it firmly. If there was any change, it would be hit by a shocking blow!
Yuanlu Demon King is always paying attention to this place and will never give it a chance to take action!
Time just stopped.
The hustle and bustle on the battlefield gradually calmed down, leaving only the footsteps of the demon soldiers changing positions in the eight-door golden lock formation.
Young Master Jiuyou suggested: "Your Majesty, since entering the battle is too dangerous, it is better to try attacking from a distance outside the door."
Demon King Kuihu had no other choice but to agree.
The armies under his command summoned their own demon souls one after another, and bombarded them indiscriminately outside the formation.
However, since Mr. Yan's eight-door golden lock formation dares to take on Yuanlu Demon King, it must have no blind spots in defense and it can be said to be watertight.
Just relying on long-distance attacks, they couldn't break through this formation even after a whole day of fighting.
As a last resort, Demon King Kuihu had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
At night.
There was silence in the king's tent. The three of them in Linshan thought hard. For a while, they really couldn't think of any way to break the eight-door golden lock formation.
Demon King Kuihu also regretted that he had killed Mr. Yao directly if he had known about it earlier. As a result, he was now stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Three military advisors, are you unable to handle this final hurdle even if the three of you work together?"
The three of them thought about it and decided to advise Demon King Kuihu to be calm and maintain the offensive posture for the time being, giving them a few more days to think.
Demon King Kuihu was about to break into the Hongya Cave, so naturally he would not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He could only comfort the three of them with kind words, not to be impatient and think slowly.
And in Hongya Cave on the other side.
The Demon King Yuanlu was overjoyed and held a special banquet to celebrate.
After all, the battle during the day successfully restored the confidence of the entire army.
Everyone takes Mr. Yan's ability seriously. The Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation is indeed a top-notch defensive formation. It has no water at all. Not only did it devour the four armies of Demon King Kuihu as soon as it appeared, but it also stood firm against the violent attack later on. Not moving.
With Mr. Yan here, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they will not be able to attack.
"Mr. Yan, Military Advisor Dai, and Military Advisor Zhu, I am fortunate to have the help of these three people to defend this last piece of my foundation. How lucky I am!"
"Today, make sure you don't get drunk and drink to your heart's content!"
Demon King Yuanlu feels that although his three think tanks are not as strong as the young people from Demon King Kuihu, they are completely comparable in other aspects. Even Mr. Yan can be said to be an all-rounder!
Mr. Kuihu is really stupid and ignorant. He can drive away such great talents. He deserves to be ruined now!
Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou smiled and mingled with the demon generals, eating big mouthfuls of meat and drinking from big bowls without any restraint. The children of the cultivation family are born to know how to socialize, otherwise why would they have so many friends.
Mr. Yan was meticulous and refused on the spot.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow I will be presiding over the military formation. This matter must not be careless, so it is not appropriate to drink alcohol. Just drink it!"
Demon King Yuanlu couldn’t help putting down the wine jar, stroking his palms and sighing:
"Sir, he fulfills his duties and does his best, which is really a blessing to the king!"
Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou also praised each other and admired Mr. Nong's seriousness and rigor.
It was just the time of celebration during the banquet.
In a small passage inside, footsteps suddenly came.
"Tap tap tap, plop!"
A little demon walked in, knelt down and handed over a letter.
The crooked monster writing on it clearly shows that the cultural level of the monster writing the letter is not high.
Demon King Yuanlu took it and looked at it once, then threw it into the brazier without paying attention to it, and continued to greet the generals to eat.
Mr. Yan asked out of curiosity: "Your Majesty, what other situations are there?"
Yuanlu Demon King waved his hands with an unconcerned expression.
"It's the gazelle guarding the west entrance of Hongya Cave. Today during the day, he discovered a human monk who tried to break in. He had already been beaten away by him. It's not a big deal."
Hongya Cave extends in all directions. The stalactite forest alone covers an area of thousands of miles, not to mention the dense underground rivers. It is impossible for Yuanlu Demon King to cover everything in such a large area, but only occupies a small part of the wide space in the south as a station.
The remaining distant entrances were only symbolically guarded by troops to prevent Xiaoxiao from breaking in from behind and causing trouble.
Today, there were golden elixir stage human monks intruding in the west by mistake. Yuanlu Demon King didn't take it seriously. Mr. Nian, Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou didn't say anything when they saw the boss. Naturally, it was difficult to ask questions. Anyway, the top priority was to defend Kui Hu. Demon King.
……
In the next few days, the two armies continued to fight fiercely.
Demon King Kuihu led his troops to attack fiercely, while Lin Shan and the other three were still carefully observing and looking for loopholes. Unfortunately, Mr. Nong's troops were able to hold a steady force, and the defense was tight and the army was well managed. There was no loophole for them to take advantage of.
The two sides reached a stalemate at the southern entrance of Hongya Cave.
As the saying goes, morale rises and falls, and morale rises and falls, gradually reaching a balance of power.
When Demon King Kuihu and Lin Shan were frowning.
Demon King Yuanlu also received unusual news one after another. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but when the news became more and more, he had to pay attention to it.
First, at an entrance to the west of Hongya Cave, a human Golden Core monk sneaked in repeatedly, but was directly expelled by the Gazelle Demon General.
Later, news came from some entrances in the east, saying that several waves of human monks tried to break in, but they were all repelled by the defenders there.
You must know that among the demon clan, the Jindan stage demon generals themselves have extraordinary combat power. If they lead their troops to form a military formation, they can have superior combat power, and ordinary people of the same level are really no match for them.
But they couldn't resist the appearance of more and more human monks. They were like popping out of the cracks in the rocks, so without any warning, people were caught off guard.
These people are naturally the major Golden Core monks of the human race who entered from the Swallowing Star Mountain Range together with Lin Shan, Zhong Shenxiu, and Young Master Jiuyou.
Because they followed Zhong Shenxiu's aura of luck, the three of them chose a route at random and happened to come straight from the south. Therefore, they were the fastest in time and arrived at the entrance of Hongya Cave first.
The other golden elixir stage monks chose another path and unconsciously went in a remote direction. They took a lot of distance and suffered a lot of hardships on the way. Finally, they went around to the east and west sides of Hongya Cave, and the time was a little slower.
But now, calculating the time, it’s time to arrive.
The Yuanlu Demon King received letters asking for help one after another. It had no choice but to mobilize some of its troops to various entrances in the rear to guard against these human monks who tried to break in.
It never leaves the front door and stays in the forbidden area of the cliff. I really don’t know why these human monks are here.
Do ordinary humans dare to come to the forbidden area after they are full? Why come so many as soon as you come? It happened to be at the juncture of the decisive battle between Kuihu Demon King!
Mr. Yao didn't know much about it, but he always felt that this group of people seemed to have something to do with the three boys from Lin Shan.
Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou guessed why. Before their Dai family was destroyed, they were from a wealthy family, so they naturally knew the legend of reed jade stalactite.
This time during the Millennium Period, the two of them specially came to search for him more than ten years in advance because they were not strong enough in cultivation and were afraid that they would not be able to catch these old monsters in the Golden Core Period.
Now Luyu stalactites arrived unexpectedly, but they had to stay to help Yuanlu Demon King fight for hegemony. There was no time to break through and no time to escape. Now that I heard that the golden elixir stage monks from the peripheral human race appeared in piles, I couldn't help but feel worried.
There are powerful enemies in front of us and foreign troubles in the back. The weather will not help Demon King Yuanlu at this time!
This secret didn't stay hidden for long, and it was still known here.
A few days later, in Hongya Cave.
The surrounding braziers were burning, demon soldiers and guards stood aside, and all the demon generals gathered together.
"Poof!"
"Sir Demon King, have mercy on me. I really don't know this is your cave. If I knew, I would never dare to break in. Please leave me a way to survive!"
An old man in the golden elixir stage cried bitterly, kneeling in the wide cave and begging for mercy. He had a special rattan tied to his body. His cultivation had been sealed for a long time, and he had no power to resist at this time.
Echoes surrounded the cave, accompanied by the reverberation of pleading.
He is the man who tried to sneak into the western entrance of Hongya Cave three times before, Master Ningfa of Xuanwu Village!
Before this golden elixir stage old man came, he brought a whole boatload of disciples with him. However, when he was passing by the Aurora Sea, he was attacked by evil spirits such as "rascals", "earworms" and "ru"s. escape.
Later, after a narrow escape, he reached the entrance of Hongya Cave, but was turned away by the Gazelle Demon General.
Seeing that more and more golden elixir stage monks were coming behind him, Master Ningfa decided to take the risk and sneak in alone to look for reed jade stalactites before everyone came.
Results
As a result, he was too stubborn and was captured by the Gazelle Demon General and sent directly to the Yuanlu Demon King.
Seeing that there was a Nascent Soul Demon King in the Hongya Cave, he was so frightened that he didn't have many years to live and almost died!
"Tell me, who are you and what are you doing in this king's cave?"
Demon King Yuanlu sat upright, pressing him to the ground with all his pressure.
Master Ningfa was shaking like chaff, sweating drop by drop, and he was stammering when he spoke.
"Senior Dao Ningfa, my presumptuous interruption this time, is really unintentional. If I had known that Honghongya Cave was the territory of seniors, I would not have dared to come even if I had ten more courages!"
"Hmph!"
Demon King Yuanlu snorted heavily, causing Master Ningfa to bleed from his ears and nose. He lay on the ground as if he had been hit hard.
"I would like to ask you why you want to sneak into Hongya Cave over and over again."
Master Ningfa was trembling with fear, struggling to suppress the fear in his heart and reluctantly answered:
"The younger generation heard from the outside world that there is a legendary spiritual object in Hongya Cave, a thousand-year-old reed jade stalactite, so when the end is approaching, I hope to get it to extend my life, but I never thought that this is a land with a master."< br>
After listening to this person's story, Demon King Yuanlu learned that human monks from the outside world had come here thousands of years ago, so the news about reed jade stalactites spread. In order to fight against Demon King Kuihu two hundred years ago, he put the Make this your own nest.
But now, the human monks outside are all here for the reed jade stalactites in the cave!
Mr. Yan frowned and asked:
"How many people from your human race are here this time?"
"Before the departure of Lu Guolin, there should be more than thirty golden elixir stage monks in the five regions. I don't know how many were lost and died during the journey. I think there are still ten or twenty"
"So many?!"
Demon King Yuanlu and Mr. Yi couldn't sit still. What's the difference between this and stirring up a hornet's nest?
They fought for dominance over the forbidden territory and fought well.
When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven?
You must know that under the two demon kings, there are only about twenty direct demon generals and vassal Jindan cave masters. There are so many enemies all at once. Who can withstand this?
The key is that many of these humans are approaching their end. In order to enter Hongya Cave to find reed jade stalactites, they are determined to get it regardless of danger!
The Master Ningfa in front of me didn't look at how lightly he said it. Why would he not dare to come if he had known that there was a demon king sitting in charge?
Bullshit!
People are almost buried!
Are you not here to extend your life and wait to die?
Either way, you will die, so you might as well give it a try!
After questioning him in detail, Demon King Yuanlu used the soul-searching technique to extract some memory fragments.
Master Ningfa's soul was violently searched, and his whole person immediately became confused, like a zombie being dragged down by the demon soldiers around him.
Mr. Yi couldn't help but ask: "How is it, Your Majesty?"
Yuanlu Demon King closed his eyes and browsed for a while. After extracting the useful information, he wiped out all irrelevant memories to prevent them from affecting him.
"Searching for souls can only retrieve 1% of memories at most. What you find is completely up to chance. However, I happened to capture this group of human monks. They were in a place called Hexiang Garden in Jiangning City at the foot of the Star Swallowing Mountains in Lu State. Local gathering.”
"There are indeed many golden elixir stage monks among them, as well as many low-level monks accompanying them. Sure enough, a full half of them are here for the reed jade stalactites!"
"There are also three military advisors beside Mr. Kui Hu, three young men, Lin Shan, Zhong Shenxiu, and Wei Wuya, who are also among them!"
……
After hearing this, Mr. Yan stood up directly and instantly understood the cause and effect!
No wonder!
No wonder those three boys, not only came here specifically to seek refuge, but also always persuaded Demon King Kui Hu to lead troops and attack Hongya Cave by force. It turned out to be this idea!
Mr. Yan figured it all out at once, which made him tremble!
Co-author, I tried my best to serve Demon King Kuihu, but instead became a stumbling block for these three people?
Mudd, these three little bastards!
Dai Fubu and Zhu Duiyou, who were standing next to them, were also shocked by the news.
They had roughly guessed before that there were golden elixir stage monks from Lu Guoguo who ventured here, but because they had not reached the golden elixir stage, they did not know the specific situation.
When I heard that so many Golden Core Stage monks were coming this time, I couldn't help but feel even more worried. How could the Yuanlu Demon King, who was already at a disadvantage, resist this attack?
The house leaks but it rains all night!
Also
Zhong Shenxiu, the immortal genius of the Lu Kingdom, is also here?
Also, Lin Shan.?
This name feels familiar
Could it be the president of the Lin Chamber of Commerce who pretended to be from Xiongshan?
……
After thinking for a while, the two shook their heads and threw the idea away.
They came here more than ten years ago, and they don't know much about Lin Shan's later deeds in establishing Tianfu Mountain, which became famous in western Shandong.
Not to mention the news that Lin Shan had broken through to the Golden Core stage.
Furthermore, how can a person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the immortal genius Zhong Shenxiu be an ordinary person?
Thinking about it, it should just be the same name.
Just as they were discussing in the cave, a crisis appeared in large numbers among the human race's golden elixir stage monks.
At the northern entrance of Hongya Cave, three old human beings slowly appeared.
"Brother Yang, let's try a few more times on the east side. Maybe we can force our way in. Is it necessary to go all the way to the north?"
"Two wise brothers, the two demon generals guarding the gate in the east are obviously not ordinary demons. They are heavily defended and have strict military discipline. The key is that they also know how to coordinate the formation. We don't need to chew on any hard bones. Why don't we just go around and exploit loopholes?"
Listen to the words, then look at the appearance.
It turned out to be the three brothers who came with Lin Shan, the ancestor of the Yang family, the great elder of the Zhenyue Sect, and the master of the Xuchan Cave!
