Chapter 1102 Ghost Path Illusion Formation
Not long after the purple-robed man finished his explanation, there were two escaping lights from the southern horizon. At the same time, there were also two escaping lights from the east, approaching from far away. In a moment, they were all in front of everyone.
Wang Shuluo was surprised. He thought that his military camp was impregnable, but he didn't expect that so many people had sneaked in, but he still didn't know it at all.
He looked around and saw two men coming from the south. One of them was in gray robes and had a tall and straight figure; the other was a white-faced scholar with an elegant temperament.
But two women came from the east. One of them was a middle-aged beautiful woman, wearing palace clothes, with a calm breath; the other was a young girl, wearing a dragon and tiger Taoist uniform, carrying a A sheathed long sword looks quite heroic.
"Everyone is here, it seems that the matter has been settled." The man in purple robe said with a smile.
"Not bad!" The girl in Taoist uniform nodded, and like a magic trick, a man was pushed out from behind. This man was tall, wearing a battle helmet, and looked extraordinary.
It’s just that his whole body was tied tightly with iron chains. At this time, he was kneeling on the ground and had become a prisoner.
“Gongshu Mao!”
Wang Shuluo recognized this person at a glance, because the other person was his mortal enemy, the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Wei Kingdom!
"You're here, why don't you just recruit us? Tell me! Who ordered you to attack the Daxia Kingdom?" the Taoist woman behind her shouted sternly.
“I say, I say!”
Gongshu Mao seemed to be extremely frightened and shouted in a panic: “It’s all the immortal envoys of Huangquan Palace who are forcing us, otherwise how could we dare to let the army march in? Nowadays, we don’t have much military power in the country. If other countries take advantage of the situation, our country, Wei, will also perish. Who would do such a thankless task if someone else hadn’t put a knife to their necks? ?"
"Huangquan Palace?" Wang Shuluo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sad smile: "It turns out that the person behind the scenes is actually Huangquan Palace, one of the nine major sects. How can a cultivation force of this level actually do this? Is there any natural reason for intervening in secular political power?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in gray who came last also reached out and patted the green gourd on his waist. With a flash of light, three figures fell on the ground. on the ground.
The three of them were all tied up with special ropes. They looked panicked and looked around, looking suspicious.
"I searched around the area and found that these three monks were the only ones secretly watching, so I grabbed them all." The man in gray said slowly.
Among the three people who were arrested, there was a tall, thin young man with a sallow face. At this time, he shouted with anger:
"Who are you? How dare you do this? Rude? You must know that we are disciples of the old ghost with long eyebrows in Huangquan Palace. I advise you not to mind your business. Please let us go immediately, otherwise the master will come and you will not be able to escape!"
"The old ghost with long eyebrows? One of the seven ghosts of Huangquan?" The beautiful woman in palace clothes said with a smile: "As far as I know, your master is only in the late stage of Jindan. Even if he comes in person, he would not dare to be so crazy in front of me."
Seeing that she was confident, the tall and thin man realized that he had met a ruthless person. His face suddenly became dejected. He no longer dared to say any threatening words and just kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Wang Shuluo was shocked when he saw that everyone in Huangquan Palace had been captured, and quickly asked: "Wang is blind, dare I ask who these people are? Are they also from the nine major sects? "
"Nine major sects?" The purple-robed man smiled sarcastically and said lightly: "We are Wushu. People from Shuang Cities!”
“Wu Shuang City!”
Wang Shuluo’s expression changed, he knelt down quickly, kowtowed to several people and said, “Wang Shuluo pays homage to the immortals. I don’t know that it’s the Immortal from Wushuang City who has arrived. I’ve been rude in many ways before, so please forgive me!”
"General Wang does not need to pay such a big gift! You are the pillar of Daxia Kingdom. You have run the army strictly these years and have done nothing wrong in the dawn and autumn of the people. Fang Mou admires you very much in his heart!"
The man in purple robe haha With a smile, he stretched out his hand to help Wang Shuluo up from the ground, and then introduced several companions around him to him.
After his introduction, Wang Shuluo knew that the two people in front of him were Fang Li and Buwen Jushi, and the other four were Song Ru, Li Xiran, Liang Yan and Ji Lai.
Judging from the attitudes of these six people, the leader should be Song Ru.
"General Wang, you were ordered to mine spiritual minerals for my Wushuang City, why have you not responded at all in the past year?"
Fang Liren spoke slowly. Although his tone was soft, it carried a sense of majesty that made Wang Shuluo break out in cold sweat.
"The Immortal doesn't know something."
Wang Shuluo sighed, not daring to hide anything and told the truth about what happened here.
It turns out that just a year ago, the neighboring country Wei Dynasty suddenly invaded in large numbers. Originally, the two countries were similar in strength, and they fought each other for nearly half a year without deciding the outcome. However, this time the other side had more soldiers. Some "strange people" can turn rivers upside down and set fire to forests. They are obviously not ordinary people.
Most of the soldiers controlled by the Daxia Kingdom were equivalent to warriors at the eighth or ninth level of Qi training. How could they withstand this kind of offensive? They were quickly defeated.
Wang Shuluo knew that this matter was unusual. You must know that Antarctic Immortal Continent has an unwritten rule. Cultivation sects cannot interfere in secular power struggles at will. The army can only recruit some casual cultivators, but the number of casual cultivators is impossible. With so many, someone must be behind it and bribed a large number of casual cultivators to join the Wei army.
He reported the matter to the court, which quickly responded and decided to send a messenger to Wushuang City for help.
However, they sent twelve messengers in a row, but in the end they never returned. Wang Shuluo guessed that these messengers were robbed and killed on the way, and the news could not reach Wushuang City at all. Later, after many inquiries, I learned that the entire Wushuang Domain was in a commotion because of the "Six Finger Remains" incident. Wushuang City was too busy to take care of itself. Even if it knew about the matter, it probably wouldn't have the energy to take care of it.
The Xia Kingdom fell into isolation, and the emperor decided to lead the expedition himself. The members of the royal family, all of whom were accomplished monks, rushed to the battlefield and decided to fight to the death with the Wei Kingdom.
With the addition of the royal family members, the morale of Xia's army was greatly boosted. The war situation between the two countries changed from one-sided to evenly matched, and the war lasted for a year.
However, not long ago, a group of mysterious people suddenly came and actually kidnapped the emperor of Xia Kingdom. They also used weird magic to trap the entire vanguard of the Iron Lion Army in a mountain. No one has escaped yet.
The visitor left a letter, asking them to bow their heads to the Great Wei State. From today on, they must hand over all the mined spiritual stones to the Great Wei State, otherwise they will be prepared to give them to the Emperor of Xia and three thousand vanguard troops to collect the corpses.
Wang Shuluo was in a dilemma. Personally, he would rather die in battle than surrender to other countries. But now the leader of a country has been kidnapped, and the three thousand brothers under him have also been trapped by evil spells. Even if he wants to die, he can't watch these people die in vain.
"It's so pitiful that the immortal envoy from Wushuang City has finally arrived!"
Old Wang Shuluo burst into tears and shouted: "Our king of Daxia is benevolent and virtuous, and the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment. , I also pay tribute to Wushuang City every year, and I never dare to slack off. I didn’t expect to be in such a situation now. How many immortal envoys have to make decisions for our country.”
Fang Liren knew that what he said was the truth, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, General Wang. I'm here to help your Xia Kingdom. Do you know where those mysterious people are? We're here." Go and rescue the king of your country." "This" Wang Shuluo had a look of embarrassment on his face. , and then said after a long time: "This group of people has extremely high cultivation level, and their traces are erratic. With the old man's cultivation level, he can't find their location."
Fang Liren was not too surprised by this. Hearing this, he turned his eyes and looked at the captured people.
"I would like to advise you, if you know something, tell it as soon as possible, otherwise when we search your soul and find something fishy, your life will be worse than death!" Fang Liren said in a solemn tone.
Poof! Plop!
Whether it was the general Gong Sumao of the Great Wei State or the three captured monks, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed together.
"Senior, please forgive me! I am just a casual cultivator who has barely reached the Juyuan Realm. I know that there is no hope for immortality in this life, so I only hold an official position in a secular country. How do I know the many things behind this? A plan? What's more, I am also acting under orders. I am afraid that even our king of Wei does not know where those mysterious people are now?" Gong Shumao said tremblingly.
"Senior, spare your life! We don't know either. We are just the three lowest ranked among the eighteen disciples of Master Changmei. We are only responsible for keeping tabs on this trip and don't know anything about other things. Ah."
These people rushed to express their opinions, fearing that if they were not careful, they would be killed by the purple-robed monk in front of them.
Fang Liren frowned and looked at his companion.
"These people don't look like they can lie. Judging from their cultivation level, they really don't have access to anything. Besides, we promised Senior Ning that we wouldn't go on a killing spree here." Ji Lai said via voice transmission.
"Then the clue is broken, isn't it? Although we are only ordered to recapture the mineral veins, we can't really ignore the death of the Great Xia Kingdom, not to mention that if the Xia Kingdom is destroyed, who will mine the soul for us? Mine?" Fang Liren also sent a message to everyone.
"There is a way."
Liang Yan, who had been silent before, suddenly said: "Didn't General Wang say that there are three thousand vanguard troops trapped in the mountains? As far as I know, it can trap three thousand Qi refining periods. The formation of a warrior's formation is not simple. Unless the person setting up the formation has reached the level of Tongxuan or above, there must be a dedicated monk present to preside over the formation and maintain the operation of the formation."
Several people present. Not stupid, he reacted immediately after hearing this.
Fang Liren's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "You mean, let's break this formation first, capture the monk who presides over it, and then find out where the monarch is being held?"
"Not bad!" Liang Yan nodded.
“This is a brilliant plan!”
Fang Liren laughed and turned to look at Wang Shuluo aside.
"You should know where your three thousand vanguard troops are trapped, right?"
"I know! I know!"
Wang Shuluo nodded repeatedly. He always loved soldiers as much as his own son. Now when he heard that the other party was going to save his subordinates, his face was already smiling.
"My three thousand vanguard troops are trapped on the Blackwater Ridge in the north, not far from our army camp. Please follow me, a few immortal envoys."
He said After finishing, he immediately ordered his left and right men to prepare chariots and horses, invited Liang Yan and others into the chariot, ordered eight hundred elite soldiers, and rode lightly all the way north.
It only took half an hour for everyone to arrive outside Heishui Ridge.
Liang Yan and others got out of the car and stopped to look outside the ridge. They saw a sunken valley between the rolling mountains. It was full of dead branches and leaves and looked lifeless.
A thick gray fog obscured the entire valley, making it difficult to see the scene inside.
“That day when the king was captured, I immediately sent three thousand vanguard troops to pursue it. When we passed by this place, a heavy fog suddenly arose, trapping my vanguard troops in this black water ridge. Now a month has passed and no one has been able to come out," Wang Shuluo sighed.
“It’s the Phantom Formation of Ghostly Spring!”
Ji Lai stared at Heishui Ridge for a while, then a light flashed in his eyes and he said calmly.
"Do you recognize this formation?" Song Ru looked a little surprised.
"My master has dabbled in the illusion of ghosts. The illusion of the quiet spring varies from person to person. Since there are three thousand soldiers trapped, the illusion created should be an endless Shura battlefield. . In the past month, General Wang’s three thousand vanguard troops have been engaged in a life-or-death struggle with an unexpected enemy.”
“ What? After a month of fierce fighting, my three thousand vanguard army will still die from exhaustion?"
Wang Shuluo's expression changed greatly. Although most of these soldiers have the cultivation of warriors at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, after all, There is still no Dao foundation built, and it is still just a mortal body. Now that a month has passed, I am afraid that some people can no longer hold on.
"Several immortals, please come and save these soldiers of mine. They are all just mortals. They still have mothers, wives and children at home. It would be fine if they died in battle, but they all died in an illusion. In the battle, that would be too cowardly. I, Wang Shuluo, would not be ashamed to go back to see all my fellow villagers.”
He is a native monk of the Great Xia Kingdom. He has commanded the three armies for a hundred years. He has deep feelings for his soldiers and the country, and he can't help but ask for help at this time.
"Don't worry, General, it's just a phantom formation of Youquan, wait for me to break it!"
Ji Lai chuckled, raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and thirty-six Tiangang copper coins Flying into the air, they each occupied a position above the Black Water Ridge, echoing each other from a distance, like an array of stars in the sky, suppressing all the thick fog below.
“If the spirit is not nourished internally, it will act as an evil spirit externally. The five poisonous qi will enter the human body, and the ugly ghost will retreat in an instant!”
Ji Lai drank it and held it in his hand. After casting a spell, the thirty-six Tiangang copper coins on Heishui Ridge shook slightly, and fell down at the same time, scattering all the thick gray fog below, and finally turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.
The gray fog dissipated, revealing the scene inside. An army of thousands of people was seen hacking away at the dead trees in the forest.
Some people were cut into pieces by their teammates, some were hung on dead branches by ropes, and some were seriously injured. Although they fell in a pool of blood, they still stabbed toward the sky with a spear in their hands.< br>
