Chapter 246 Gaining another retainer, the hope of promotion to the eighth rank
Yunxiao Mountain.
In the meeting hall.
Clan Chief Cao sat upright with a sad look on his face:
“The spy reported back”
"The beast tide swarmed out from Shiwan Mountain, covering the sky and the earth. It has arrived at the Yunshan County fiefdom more than an hour ago. According to this trend, it will arrive at our Yunxiao Mountain in less than half an hour. The scale of this beast tide outbreak is , far greater than The Tai Chi Locust Wave before, do you think the Yuan Tiangang Formation of the Lin family can withstand this wave of beasts?"
Elder Cao San pondered for a while and said;
"The head of the family, Yuan Tiangang. I have already practiced the formation, Resisting the second-order monsters is not a problem, as long as the third-order monster king does not appear.”
Hearing this, Cao Xueyang rolled his eyes in his heart and shook his head:
“Uncle, Tai Chi Locust was there. When the tide breaks out, no There is no third-level insect king, but the mountain protection formation of our tribe has also been broken. In my opinion, there are too many unstable factors. It is better for us to run away before the beast tide arrives. How far is it? Run as far as you can.”
Elder Cao San was refuted.
A trace of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows.
Cold voice:
“When the beast tide breaks out, the entire Huainan Prefecture will be affected. Where is the absolute safe place? Where do you think we can escape to?”
This question.
Cao Xueyang had already thought about it.
Smiled:
“Of course it’s the Shangguan Family Tianlong City near us.”
“With our flying speed, we can arrive in less than half an hour, Shangguan The family is an eighth-grade aristocratic family, and Shangguanfeng and his daughter are even half-stepping into the Zifu family. , In addition, more than half of the Shangguan family's combat force is guarding Tianlong City. In the past few years, they have learned from the Fu family and strengthened the city wall. Wouldn't it be much safer to enter it than to stay in this poor place like the Lin family? "< br>
“And”
"In the face of the beast tide, I believe that the Shangguan family will not drive away the foundation-building combat power that comes to their door."
Those words are not rough.
Elder Cao San remained silent.
Obviously there is some movement.
Cao Xuerui, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help it.
He shook his head and interrupted:
"Fourth brother, have you forgotten that we still occupy the fiefdom of a family affiliated with the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family may open the city gate to let us in, but once the beast tide is over, we will only I’m afraid I’ll have to settle the score later.”
This is throwing yourself into a trap.
Elder Cao San blinked when he heard this. He was almost bypassed by Cao Xueyang just now. When he heard Cao Xuerui's explanation, he glared at Cao Xueyang fiercely.
He signaled Cao Xuerui to continue.
Cao Xuerui said:
"Besides"
"The four of us are gone, what will happen to the remaining tribesmen? Just watch them being devoured by monsters."
"We took control of the Lin family from the beginning"
"The original intention was not to let the clan have a stable place and have a spiritual line of their own in the future. Now that they are gone, it is contrary to our original intention."< br>
Patriarch Cao kept nodding.
Seeing that his son wanted to refute, he immediately glared:
"Xiao Liu's analysis is absolutely correct. Just follow what Xiao Liu said and pass on the order. Today, we must defend Yunxiao Mountain no matter what. "
Clan Chief Cao immediately stood up and walked to the formation hall, followed closely by Elder Cao San and Cao Xuerui, while Cao Xueyang sat still.
Gripped his teeth and said:
"Every brain has been caught by the door. It's just a second-level spiritual vein. It's just a matter of snatching it back after it's gone. How can the damn clan members be more important than their own lives."
Since the Shangguan family is not Good customer.
Then they headed north all the way to Nangong’s house.
Cao Xueyang cursed for a while, but now he had to follow him.
The four of them sat cross-legged at the central platform of the Yuan Tiangang Formation, while the remaining Qi Refining monks from the Cao family formed teams to guard the various formations.
The entire Yunxiao Mountain was eerily quiet.
It seems that only the sounds of each other's breathing meet in the air.
“Here it comes!”
About half an hour passed.
But I saw billowing black clouds billowing in the sky, and a dull atmosphere filled the air. The beast tide surged in like a raging tide.
The first thing that caught the eye was a group of flame demon wolves, huge in size, with hair all over their bodies like burning flames. I saw them opening their bloody mouths and spitting out rolling flames. The flames seemed to be alive, roaring towards the mountain guarding formation. Wherever they went, the air was scorched and twisted.
Clan Chief Cao saw this.
Hands are formed in seals and words are muttered in the mouth.
A spell was struck on the formation.
Buzz!
The originally flashing runes on the array platform became brighter, and a faint golden light curtain lit up in the array light curtain.
The flames hit.
It makes a crackling sound.
The light curtain is as stable as a mountain.
Elder Cao San’s eyes were filled with joy:
"Master, it seems that the Yuan Tiangang Formation is more powerful than expected. We will definitely be able to defend Yunxiao Mountain."
Previously, Clan Mountain was attacked by a wave of Tai Chi locusts.
It's just something unexpected happened within the formation.
For a while.
The confidence of the four Cao family members increased greatly.
at the same time.
The attacks of the Ice Soul Black Snakes covered with crystal clear scales came one after another. They were seen twisting their huge bodies and spitting out countless sharp ice edges from their mouths. These ice edges were flying during the flight. The surrounding water vapor continues to condense, becoming harder and sharper, like a hail of ice arrows shooting at the mountain guarding formation.
“Huh, what a small skill.”
Clan Chief Cao’s magic technique changed with ease, and a ray of magic power hit the formation.
There was a slight buzzing sound.
However, he saw that countless rotating spiritual shields were transformed into the original golden light shield. These shields were like small whirlwinds, drawing the ice edges into them. The ice edges were shattered in the whirlwind and turned into bits of ice. The crumbs are scattered.
More and more types of monsters are coming in at once.
Cao Xuerui quickly reminded Elder Cao San on the side:
"Uncle San, we have to eliminate a group of monsters as soon as possible."
If not.
The beasts swarmed and attacked.
I'm afraid the Yuan Tiangang Formation cannot be defended.
Elder Cao San nodded slightly, the two of them were in charge of the killing formation.
I saw the two of them entering the formation one after another.
The array was spinning rapidly.
Immediately afterwards.
But I saw white awns shooting out from the formation. I took a closer look and saw that these white awns were clearly spiritual arrows. These spiritual arrows were shining with white light.
Swish, swish,
Spiritual arrows fell like raindrops.
The flame demon wolf, unable to escape, screamed and was nailed to the ground.
But.
The number of monsters coming over from Bee Chrysalis is too great to kill them all. Moreover, with the addition of second-level monsters, the entire array's light curtain has begun to shake violently.
Cao Xuerui saw this.
Calmly said:
“Third uncle, activate the magic array!”
Finished.
The law has changed.
But I saw that the red formations on the formation platform were lit up one by one, and then, a large red mist suddenly surged at the foot of Yunxiao Mountain. The mist enveloped the beast tide army and trapped them in it. of monsters.
The attack methods suddenly stopped.
Because.
What they saw at this time was that they had returned to their old nest.
However, what they don’t know is that dense red threads are shooting out from the ground and entering their bodies along their hooves.
At this moment.
Beyond the red mist.
A roar came.
The billowing sound wave swept in like a hundred thousand troops, and the red sea of mist was swept away.
“This is.”
Hear this breath.
Cao Xueyang’s pupils shrank:
“The third-order demon king!”
A third-level demon king actually appeared.
In a flash.
The confidence and hope that had been accumulated were all dissipated in this roar:
"Father!"
Cao Xueyang shouted.
The implication is obvious, it is to retreat.
Unlike Cao Xueyang's extreme behavior, although Cao Xuerui's eyes flashed with fear at this time, he seized the opportunity.
Shout loudly:
“Explode!”
Boom!
However, I saw that the monster beast eroded by the red line at the foot of the mountain immediately exploded, and its flesh and blood flew. The entire foot of the mountain was suddenly piled up like a hill with the corpses of the monster beast.
Behind the hill.
The figure of the third-level Mo Yu Youlin was revealed.
Its body looks like it was carved from ink jade, its armor is dark and starry, its head looks like a dragon but not a dragon, its antlers are huge and winding, and the light on its horns is like clouds. The eyes are like a deep pool, the mark of purple electricity on the forehead is flashing with lightning. The hoofs are like black jade plates, which vibrate when they step on the ground, leaving dark black hoof prints, and there are spiritual power fluctuations in the prints. The tail is like a dark silk ribbon, swinging in the wind.
“Third-level Demon King Mo Yu Youlin!”
Patriarch Cao's body was shaken, and any trace of luck in his eyes was gone.
"Father, if you don't leave yet, how long will it be!!"
Cao Xueyang has already stood up from the position of the formation he is responsible for. If it were not for the sake of his old father, he would have Escaped.
These elm heads.
Listen to him already.
By now they had all moved to safety.
Clan Chief Cao quickly looked at each other and Elder Cao San, nodded slightly in tacit understanding, and said calmly:
"Xueyang, Xiaoliu, take the core disciples of the clan and leave. , From today on, the head of the Cao family will be succeeded by Xiao Liu."
Said.
Clan Chief Cao threw the jade seal of the ninth-grade family and a full storage bag to Cao Xuerui.
In front of the third-level demon king Mo Yu Youlin.
If the four of them retreat together at this time, once the formation is broken, the Demon King will catch up with them immediately, and none of them will survive.
Cao Xueyang was stunned for a moment.
I thought I was hallucinating:
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if you don't want to be the head of the family, it's not Xiaoliu's turn. I am the patriarch of the family. Directly from the same lineage.”
Cao Xuerui also did not expect that Cao Clan Chief would pass on the position of head of the family to him.
Although unexpected.
But this is not the time to be pretentious.
I bowed deeply to Patriarch Cao:
“Don’t worry, head of the family, I, Cao Xuerui, will definitely not let the Cao family be wiped out like this!”
Said.
Immediately his body flashed.
Shooting out from the formation hall, patting the storage bag, the treasure ship flew into the sky, took dozens of core disciples of the clan, and immediately galloped towards the secret passage.
Clan Chief Cao looked at his son who was full of grief and anger.
Qianyanyu just spit out one sentence at this moment:
"Son, dad can no longer protect you from now on. Remember, you must think twice before acting, and leave quickly!"
"Father!"
Cao Xueyang is at this moment He had mixed feelings, but the third-level demon king Mo Yu Youlin outside had already begun to attack the formation. Seeing that the treasure ship was about to disappear from his eyes, Cao Xueyang bit his lip, stamped his feet, and rushed out of the formation hall in an instant.
Wait for him to catch up with Cao Xuerui.
After coming out of the secret passage in Yunxiao Mountain, he glared at Cao Xuerui coldly:
"Open the treasure ship array."
Cao Xuerui frowned.
Obviously.
Cao Xueyang is about to part ways. The treasure ship is too big and he has brought dozens of low-level disciples. If he is not careful, he will be caught up by the demon king and die:
"Fourth Brother , have you thought clearly? Once you leave, it means betraying the family and you will no longer be our Cao family.”
"Who cares!"
Cao Xuerui sneered again and again.
The family mountain is gone.
The clan members are gone too.
The position of head of the family that originally belonged to him was also taken away.
There were only two cats and two dogs left, and he would not be stupid enough to work for these people.
Yunxiao Mountain.
After Cao Xueyang left.
Clan Chief Cao and Elder Cao San struck their chests with their palms, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the formation platform. The runes on the formation platform instantly lit up with bright blood.
Buzz!
The entire Yuan Tiangang Formation was operating at full speed.
They know.
If we hold back this group of beasts for a while, Cao Xueyang and the others will have a better chance of survival.
"Roar!"
Many of the monsters under his command were killed.
Mo Yu Youlin was obviously irritated and roared angrily. Four hooves hit the ground.
Boom.
The ground was shaken.
I saw only the purple lightning mark in the center of its forehead.
There was a sudden burst of intense lightning.
The lightning seemed to tear apart the void and blast toward the weak points of the formation.
The third-level demon king's bloodline power was poured into this place. For a moment, the surrounding spiritual power surged, and the ground under his hooves was shaken to the point of cracks.
Clan Chief Cao and Elder Cao San saw this scene.
The pupils shrank.
He quickly poured the mana in his body into the formation. The light flowed in the formation and absorbed most of the electric light. Although the remaining electric light hit the formation wall, it failed to break through.
"Poof"
However.
There are no two foundation-building combatants and a group of disciples sitting in the formation.
The backlash against the two patriarchs Cao was also huge, and blood spurted out in large mouthfuls.
but.
The two looked at each other firmly.
Get up.
Continue to maintain the operation of the array.
"Roar"
One blow failed to defeat it.
Mo Yu Youlin's eyes became even more fierce.
The tail like an ink-colored ribbon behind him swung violently, bringing up a strong gust of wind. The ghostly wind seemed to be mixed with the power of its demonic essence. This power rushed towards the formation. At the same time, it stepped on the ground with four hooves. The huge black jade plate-like hooves fell heavily. Every time they fell, the earth trembled, leaving hoof prints. The spiritual power fluctuations in it also merged into the quiet wind, forming a powerful formation-breaking force. This force merged into one and slammed towards the formation.
Boom! !
The whole array shook violently.
Subsequently.
The light curtain clicked a few times and quickly disintegrated.
Yuan Tiangang Formation was broken!
The backlash of the formation is like thunder.
Clan Chief Cao and Elder Cao San of the main formation immediately flew backwards, dripping with blood.
The demon king's eyes flickered, and the purple lightning mark on his forehead erupted again. Two purple lightning beams struck straight down. The seriously injured Patriarch Cao and Elder Cao San could not avoid it. They were hit by the lightning and instantly turned into ashes.
“It’s over, it’s over!”
“The Lin family is over, let’s run away”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, husband, please wait for me.”
“ .”
The abandoned Lin family members saw their last hope shattered.
Scattered away in a rush.
But how could they compare to the speed of the beast tide.
In a blink of an eye.
The entire Yunxiao Mountain is littered with corpses, the palaces in the mountain have been destroyed, and spiritual herbs and elixirs have been trampled. The once fairyland-like Yunxiao Mountain has now become a sea of blood:
"This is."
The mountain guarding formation was breached? !
The imprisoned Chief Lin’s expression changed when he heard the screams coming from the tribesmen above. In the end, the Cao family failed to defend Yunxiao Mountain.
The foundation that he and his wife had worked hard for for more than a hundred years was ruined in one fell swoop!
This will make him have the face to face his wife after death.
Patriarch Lin slumped on the ground, regretting:
“I had known so.”
When the Shangguan family suggested that the Lin family defect to the Fu family, he should have accepted it decisively.
It really doesn’t work.
It is also good to hide in Shangguan's Tianlong City to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
But he was obsessed with listening to the words of the Cao family, and ended up with the whole clan destroyed. He was so angry that the injury of Patriarch Lin broke out again. In addition, without the elixir to suppress it, almost all the internal organs were moved, and he fell to the ground with his life and death unknown. .
But his eyes were fixed on a moss-covered stone wall.
It seems there is something important hidden there.
Fifty miles away from Yunxiao Mountain, high in the sky.
A green rainbow came rushing towards me.
Fu Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the green python's back, said:
"Xiao Qing, stop for a moment."
All the way.
Xiao Qing always flies in the clouds.
So.
Almost no monsters were encountered.
Coupled with Fu Changsheng's breath concentration and invisibility skills, even if they encounter other flying monsters, they will not be able to detect it.
Overlooking Yunxiao Mountain in the distance.
The fluctuations of the array light curtain are vaguely visible on the mountain.
Follow the information mentioned.
The beast tide should have arrived at Yunxiao Mountain long ago:
“It seems that Yunxiao Mountain has not been defended after all.”
It is difficult to deal with only the second level beast tide, let alone the third level. Demon King. The mountain-protecting formation in the Lin family's fiefdom was controlled by the Cao family, and the power of the formation was greatly reduced, so the Cao family was defeated.
This is in the process of cleaning up.
However.
in case.
Fu Changsheng still had a thought:
"Exchange information"
Buzz!
The panel shakes.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Then lines of text appeared:
[1: Patriarch He received your message and learned that there might be a third-order demon king attacking the city, so he decisively took his clan members to escape to the underground city. Taking refuge, the He family mountain was plundered by monsters, but the He family members survived by chance]
[2: Cao In order to protect Cao Xueyang and Cao Xuerui, the clan leader and the third elder Cao died in the battle at Yunxiao Mountain. In times of crisis, Cao clan leader passed the position of head of the family to Cao Xuerui. Cao Xueyang was not angry and parted ways with Cao Xuerui]
[3: San Xiuyun Bozi had been staring at Yunxiao Mountain for a long time. The mountain gate was broken. After the beast tide passed, he immediately went to pick up the leaks]
【4:】
Fu Changsheng’s eyes quickly scanned the information.
When my eyes fell on the third item.
But his eyes narrowed slightly:
“Yun Bozi?!”
He was the one who snatched the Nine Sun Divine Sword last time. I didn't expect this guy to be so good at jumping and running to Yunxiao Mountain again.
However.
Information provided from intelligence.
The beast tide has left Yunxiao Mountain.
Fu Changsheng immediately slapped the green python:
"Xiaoqing, speed up!"
That's all.
It would be bad if Yun Bozi snatched away the third-order Han Mulberry Fruit that Guixiangu brought back from the small world of Heavenly Punishment.
The green python's fleshy wings are inflamed.
Swooping down.
Fifty miles away, we arrived at the foot of Yunxiao Mountain in less than half a cup of tea.
But I saw that the entire Yunxiao Mountain was littered with corpses and blood flowed into rivers. There were humans and monsters, piled up into a hill.
A pungent smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.
At the same time.
Buzz buzz!
However, the Blood Demon Sword in the Purple Immortal Tower in Yunhuan, which had been silent for a long time, began to tremble violently.
He obtained this Blood Demon Sword from Chief Lei Clan of Anyang County.
After being inspired by the secret method.
The monk can gain power from the Blood Demon Sword and reach a higher level, but it has to pay a heavy price. As for the sequelae, he has not really used it yet.
Always.
Just throw it in the Yunhuan Purple Immortal Tower.
Let the soul-eating worms swallow the demonic energy and treat it as food for the soul-eating worms. This is the first time such an abnormal reaction has occurred after receiving the blood demon sword.
He hesitated for a moment.
Fu Changsheng points to the Purple Immortal Pagoda surrounded by clouds.
A buzzing sound.
The soul-eating insects originally attached to the Blood Demon Sword immediately retreated.
The black light flashed.
The Blood Demon Sword is suspended in the sky of Yunxiao Mountain.
Unexpectedly, a bloody light suddenly appeared on the hilt of the sword, followed by a bloody rune flashing. As time passed, the rune actually emitted a terrifying suction force, which condensed into a vortex.
Boom!
Yunxiao Mountain was originally silent.
As if being summoned, wisps of blood evil energy gathered towards the blood demon sword in mid-air with a bang, fell into the whirlpool, and were then swallowed up by the bloody runes on the hilt.
In the beginning.
The blood evil energy is just a thin layer.
Can pass over time.
However, this blood evil energy accumulated more and more, and even the blood energy that had been stored deep in the ground for many years was summoned, condensing into a blood energy vortex with a diameter of more than ten feet.
"This"
This result.
This was something Fu Changsheng had not expected.
When he wanted to stop him, the situation was already out of control.
at the same time.
Yun Bozi, who was originally here to pick up leaks, felt the changes in Yunxiao Mountain, swayed, and rushed out of the collapsed treasure hall.
The eyes fell on the Blood Demon Sword that swallowed the blood evil energy.
His eyes lit up:
“What kind of divine sword is this?”
Suddenly.
Perceived something.
Look up.
On top of the green python, Fu Changsheng stood facing the wind, with the Nine Sun Divine Sword suspended above his head.
Yunbozi's throat rolls:
"My dear, why did this ancestor come here?"
The scene where Fu Changsheng inspired the Nine Yang Flame to kill Gongsun Ming was still deeply imprinted in his mind, even though he was also in the late stage of foundation building. , but if the other party really uses the divine sword, it will not be an enemy at all.
And.
This Fu Changsheng is more than the Nine Sun Divine Sword.
Now there is actually a blood demon sword that swallows the blood evil energy.
There is nothing he can bear.
If I am not careful today, I am afraid I will die.
Yun Bozi gritted his teeth and explained:
“Clan Chief Fu, Mr. Yun really doesn’t know that you want to sacrifice the sword here. I will leave right now, but don’t worry, I I swear by my inner demon that I will not say a word to the third person about what I saw today. If I violate it, I will be burned to death by the fire of my karma!"
The words have not yet finished.
He felt a chill behind him.
He turned around and looked.
His face turned pale.
Unexpectedly, behind him, he saw that a second-level peak female ghost led thousands of ghost soldiers to block his retreat.
“Gudong!”
Yun Bozi swallowed hard.
Only dealing with Fu Changsheng alone, he still has some chance of escaping, but now that Fu Changsheng has a second-level peak spiritual pet and a second-level peak ghost servant, he is afraid that he will be unable to fly at this moment.
It seems.
Fu Changsheng didn’t want him to leave alive today.
Yun Bozi’s mind was racing.
Suddenly.
Think of a reason to live.
Hurryly said:
"Clan Chief Fu, please spare your life, please spare your life, please give me a chance. I can help your Fu family to be promoted to an eighth-grade family."
Fu Changsheng doesn’t want to talk nonsense with the other party.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Murderous intent suddenly appeared.
