After the death of the Blackwater Tribe elder, countless green lights burst out from his body, scurrying around like poisonous snakes. Every creature in his path was extinguished, and hundreds of Blackwater Tribe monks fell instantly.
After the death of these monks, their souls flew out and were absorbed by the green light, making them even more powerful.
The expressions on the faces of the two elders Tang and Yue changed drastically. They hurriedly used their magical powers to resist the random green light while commanding everyone to retreat.
"An enemy has sneaked in! It's a monk from the Wu clan!"
"Don't mess up your position. This is the bottom of Dragon Burial Lake. Quickly activate the formation restrictions and prepare to kill the enemy. Kou! ”
Elder Tang shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the soldiers' morale.
Immediately after that, I took out a token from my sleeve and pinched it with one hand, hoping to awaken the defensive restrictions in the water palace.
But the restrictions in Shui Mansion seemed to have failed. No matter how he activated the token, there was no response at all.
"No need to waste your efforts!"
A loud laugh suddenly came from the distance.
I saw countless figures flying out from the depths of the Water Mansion, and the darkness guarded the main roads of the Water Mansion, which in turn blocked the monks of the Black Water Tribe from outside.
The leader, wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, holds a golden bell and makes a "ding bell" sound from time to time.
He glanced at everyone in the Blackwater Tribe, and finally his eyes fell on Elder Tang.
"Tang Jiu, are you okay?"
"Wu Changqing!"
Tang Jiu recognized the person at a glance, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
Wu Changqing laughed and said: "Tang Jiu, you Blackwater tribe really played a big game of chess, and you actually wanted to plot against Nan Xuan! Unfortunately, when you went to hunt down Nan Xuan monks, I had already led my troops to capture them. Your old lair, the restrictions in this water mansion are no longer of use."
After hearing this, Tang Jiu's face turned pale.
He was silent for a moment, sizing up the situation secretly, suppressing his anger, and said slowly: "In order to resist Beiming, our eight tribes once signed a non-aggression treaty. As the leader of the Wu tribe, you actually led the crowd By breaking into Dragon Burial Lake, are you openly breaking the treaty and becoming enemies of our seven tribes?”
“Seven tribes?”
Wu Changqing seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous and burst out laughing, "Tang Jiu, your Blackwater Tribe has been closed for a long time and you don't even know the current situation. Where are the other seven tribes?"
"What did you say? ." Tang Jiu was stunned for a moment.
"Haha, it seems that you are all frogs in the well. Instead of hiding at the bottom of Dragon Burial Lake to rot and stink, why not join us? As long as you promise to hand over the stone slab from the Blackwater Tribe, I can spare you a way out! "Wu Changqing smiled.
"You want a slate? Dreaming! That is a secret treasure passed down from ancestors. The eight slates contain shocking secrets. Unless foreign enemies invade and life and death are at stake, the slates must not be taken out. As a descendant of the eight tribes, can you Don't follow the instructions of the ancestors?"
After hearing this, Wu Changqing said with disdain: "What is this? How old are we? Are we still adhering to the ancestral teachings? Our ancestors have imprisoned us here for generations, let alone practicing immortality. There is not even a sub-sage now! Ever since I saw the powerful power of outside monks, I know that the Black Mountain Territory It’s just a prison, and we are all locked up in it, never to be released!”
"So you have to go against the teachings of your ancestors?" Tang Jiu said bitterly.
"So what if I violate it? I just want to break through myself and escape from this cage. I will kill anyone who stands in my way! Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Say it one last time. Hand over the slate. I can lead you." Get out of this prison together!”
"Dream!"
Tang Jiu spat at him, waved his hand, and shouted: "The monks of the Blackwater tribe listen to the order and immediately call on all the blackwater essence to follow me to kill the invading enemy. !”
“Kill!”
More than 100,000 Black Water Tribe monks roared in unison, each holding a magic spell, guiding strands of Black Water essence to swarm in from all directions, and were activated by them to transform into various magical powers.
“Oh, stubborn!”
Wu Changqing sighed, and then showed a ferocious smile: “In that case, don’t blame Wu for being unkind and treating you Catch them all. If you search for the souls one by one, I won’t believe that you can’t find your Black Water Tribe’s slate!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook the golden bell in his hand.
Dingle bell, jingle bell.
The strange ringing sound lingered in the water house at the bottom of the lake eight thousand feet away.
But Liang Yan and Wuxin worked together to explore the enemy's situation. Although they did not find any flaws in Tianmu City, they unexpectedly met Linghu Bai.
Liang Yan became more and more surprised and suspicious after hearing Linghu Bai's twenty-eight-character prophecy.
After he returned to the military camp, he rarely went out and spent most of his time sitting alone in his tent.
At night, Nanxuan Camp is brightly lit.
Because Tang Qianzhi and Lord Tianxie took away part of their troops respectively, and Wang Chonghua, Venerable Fuhu and other generals were seriously injured, Nanxuan was at his weakest at this time.
In order to prevent Wang Tianhe from taking advantage of the chaos to make a sneak attack, generals such as Hong Yun and Zhao Yi were very vigilant, patrolling in turns, day and night, and would personally check for any disturbance.
Unlike other places, Liang Yan's coach's camp was bleak.
In the darkness, Liang Yan sat alone on the futon, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
“The white snake crosses the river and the golden bell appears, the purple cloud reflects the sun and shines on the spiritual mountain, the fairy music sings in the nine-fold cloud, the dragon sings and the phoenix chirps, the universe falls.”
These short twenty-eight words were recited thousands of times in Liang Yan's consciousness.
But until now, he still doesn't understand the meaning. Even if he exhausts his deduction skills, he still has no gains.
“City Lord, what do you think?”
Liang Yan frowned and murmured to himself.
Not only the twenty-eight-character prophecy, but more importantly the game of chess and his phrase "Kill cleanly".
Thinking of Linghu Bai killing Bai Zi, Liang Yan felt a chill in his heart.
The Great War between the North and the South, hundreds of millions of creatures, are they all discarded pieces on the chessboard? Even if they have cultivated to their current strength, they cannot escape the manipulation?
Liang Yan showed a self-deprecating smile in the dark night and murmured:
"I originally thought that with my current cultivation, I could protect myself in the battle between the north and the south, but now it seems Come on, but I am in the middle of it and don’t realize that this war is full of fog. How many people can really see through it?”
Just when I was secretly feeling sad, I suddenly heard someone coming from outside the tent. Report.
"Shuai Liang, General Gui Wuqi and the three elders of Kunwu Mountain have returned to the military camp with a group of Nanxuan monks. Now I want to ask to see you."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression changed slightly.
"Are there only Gui Wuqi and Kunwu Sanying? Where are Demon Lord Tianxie, Su Muyun and the four great demon generals?"
The monk outside the tent replied: "I didn't see Demon Lord and Senior Su, the rest of the army has not returned, only a dozen Tongxuan Zhenjun."
"What?" Liang Yan's expression changed completely.
Gui Wuqi was the supervisor he sent there. Why were he and Kunwu Sanying the only ones back? Where did the 10,000 troops go?
In an instant, Liang Yan had a bad feeling in his heart.
He hurriedly opened the tent and was about to leave when he heard Gui Wuqi's voice coming from the distance:
"Get out of the way, everyone! I want to see Liang Shuai, and I will come immediately. See you!”
There were patrolling monks on the road who wanted to stop them, but they were all knocked away one by one by Gui Wuqi. Kunwu Sanying followed closely behind, looking very anxious.
Seeing this, Liang Yan hurried forward to greet him.
"Gui Wuji, what happened! Why are there only a few of you, where are Tianxie Demon Lord, Su Muyun and the others?"
"Shuai Liang, something bad happened!"
Gui Wuqi screamed as soon as he saw him, and then sent a message: "The four generals of the Ao family are all spies of Beiming, the demon king has died, and the accompanying Nanxuan monks have also been slaughtered! ”
When Liang Yan heard the news, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and stood frozen on the spot.
His face became extremely gloomy, and after a moment, he used the escaping light to roll up Gui Wuqi and Kunwu Sanying, and returned to the camp in a flash.
"What happened? Why was the entire army wiped out?" Liang Yan asked in a deep voice.
“The Black Water Tribe has never thought of cooperating. They secretly plotted against the Demon Lord, and the four generals of the Ao family under the Demon Lord were actually spies of Beiming. Among them, Ao Tianhe was also the master of the Xuanyin Pavilion, possessing "The cultivation of the sub-sage realm"
At the moment, Gui Wuqi told all the things that happened in Dragon Burial Lake and his party.
Liang Yan remained silent and listened to the whole story quietly.
When he heard that the Demon King Tian Xie sacrificed himself in the end and sealed Tong Ni and the Ao brothers, he couldn't help but be moved and let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect him to be such a person, Liang Yan, Liang Yan, you are so smart, but you made a mistake this time."
Gui Wuqi hesitated for a moment when he heard what he said. Finally, he said: "Liang Shuai, before he dies, Lord Tianxie asked me to give you a message."
"What words?"
"He said that he has never lost to you, Liang Yan, in his life." Gui Wuqi lowered his head and said slowly.
After hearing this, Liang Yan did not speak, but closed his eyes and sighed.
After a long time, he said leisurely: "Li Wuxie has penetrated the power of Jiyin, has unparalleled magical skills, and can suppress the strong Yasheng with the cultivation level of overcoming eight difficulties. He has indeed not lost to anyone in this life. "
After saying that, he stood up and faced the southwest, bowing seriously in the direction of Dragon Burial Lake.
"Friend Wu Xie, although you and I have different personalities and ideas, Liang will never forget your character! It's a pity that I will never have the chance to fight with you again in this life. This is the regret of Liang's life!" ”
When Gui Wuqi and Kunwu Sanying saw this, they both felt sad and sighed silently in their hearts.
Liang Yan bowed to the southwest and turned around. The sadness in his eyes had disappeared, and his expression became calm and determined again.
"I didn't expect that before Tianmu City was destroyed, a powerful enemy appeared again! Now is not the time to be sad. Fellow Taoist Tianxie sent the message at the cost of our lives. We must not let it down!"
Gui Wuji After the others heard this, they all cheered up and nodded: "What Liang Shuai said is absolutely true, but I didn't expect that the famous master of Xuanyin Pavilion would actually sneak in." Lying next to us, now that Tianmucheng has not been destroyed and a powerful enemy has appeared again, I wonder what Liang Shuai’s next plan is?”
Liang Yan said in a deep voice: “That Tong Ni has fought with me before and knows my methods. , so he didn’t dare to attack by force. He killed the Demon Lord Tian Xie first, just like breaking my arm, and the next step should be to run towards Tang Qianzhi!”
"Not bad!"
Gui Wuqi nodded and said: "Tang Qianzhi, Wei Wuming, and Nan Youyue are all top masters under Yasheng, but now they are separated from our main force. Once they fall into The siege by Beiming monks and Tong Ni's personal attack may make it difficult for him to survive."
Yuying, one of Kunwu's three heroes, also said: "I estimate that Tong Ni will be able to survive after he unlocks the seal. first item The thing is to rush to Tianmu City, and then let Wang Tianhe take the Beiming army to surround Tang Qianzhi with him."
"Yes"
Liang Yan nodded in a deep voice. Said: "That Tong Ni is a sub-sage after all. I don't know how long the seal bought by the Demon King Tianxie with his life will last. We must find Tang Qianzhi before them, otherwise we will be broken one by one."
"What about Netherworld Valley?"
"We have no choice but to give up."
Liang Yan sighed and said: "Now that the situation has reversed, the initiative is no longer on our side. With Tong Ni and Ao With the addition of the brothers, Beiming's strength has greatly increased, and Tianmu City will be difficult to break, so it is a top priority. It is better to find Tang Qianzhi first, gather all the strength in one place, and then make the next plan."
After hearing this, Gui Wuqi and others looked at each other, nodded slightly and said, "That's the only way. . ”
Liang Yan didn’t say anything more and immediately ordered all the generals to be summoned to the camp for discussion.
He briefly told what happened at Dragon Burial Lake, and ordered all the generals to count their troops, and then the army set off towards the territory of the Giant Spirit Clan.
By the early morning of the next day, when the sun rose, the military camp outside Netherworld Valley was already empty, with not a single person left.
Three days passed in a flash.
At noon that day, Liang Yan was meditating on the clouds in the Luan car. Suddenly he felt a strange breath wave in front of him. He couldn't help but open his eyes and woke up from trance.
He stood up and walked out of the luan car. Suddenly he felt the breeze blowing beside him, and then a faint fragrance hit his nostrils.
A beautiful shadow fell leisurely beside me, it was Wu Xin!
"Have you noticed it too?"
"Yes."
Wuxin nodded, looked into the distance, and said softly: "There are more than a dozen complicated things ahead. Forbidden fluctuation, it seems that it should be the giant spirit tribe "
When she said this, she frowned and said: "The strange thing is that I didn't sense the aura of monk Nanxuan. If Tang Qianzhi had already arrived here, why would he? No trace? ”
"You are right, something is wrong here"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Not only is there no aura of Nanxuan monks, there are even very few monks from the Giant Spirit Clan in their territory. Among them, I can hardly sense the masters above the Tribulation Realm."
Wuxin was a little surprised after hearing this, glanced at Liang Yan subconsciously, and thought to himself. : "I didn't expect that the power of his spiritual consciousness was so strong that he could actually detect the situation inside through the restrictions of the 'Giant Spirit Clan'!"
After thinking for a while, he said again: "Giant Spirit Tribe" Why don't the Spiritual Tribulation Realm monks take over? Maybe there is some magic weapon inside that interferes with your detection."
"Maybe."
Liang Yan was noncommittal, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
After continuing to march forward for half an hour, we saw a huge loess city appearing in our field of vision.
The yellow sand is all over the sky around Tucheng, and the strong wind is raging. Countless talismans are carved on the city walls, which contain the strong power of the earth, as if surrounded by mountains, it is indestructible!
