However, Xuan Qingzi's expression, which stood in front of the cave entrance, did not become lighter because of this, but instead became more solemn.
The reason is that most of the two to three hundred monks are masters at the Dan Formation stage or above, and there are even more than ten powerful Nascent Soul stages among them.
If it weren't for the Taiyi Sect's prestige and the fact that Xuan Qingzi himself was a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, I am afraid that some of the people in front of them could not restrain their inner impulses and tried to force their way into the crack behind them.
Despite this, the elder of the Taiyi Sect predicts that he will not be able to withstand the impact of many monks for a long time. After all, many of the monks present are elders of various sects. Even these forces of the Taiyi Sect are not willing to offend easily. .
"Brother Xuan Qingzi, how long do you plan to make us wait? We are not here just to waste our time here."
Someone in the crowd finally began to feel impatient, and an old man with a red face stood up. This man was actually a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
"Friend Luo Dao, Pindao has clearly informed you that the crack is currently inaccessible. The reason why I stopped you is to protect your lives."
Xuan Qingzi sighed secretly in his heart, but still opened his eyes and answered, looking extremely calm.
"But, I heard that monks from Yinluo Sect and Huaxian Sect have successfully entered it. Why?"
The old man surnamed Luo asked rather dissatisfiedly.
"That's because Mrs. Mu and Brother Qian have the Sun-Moon Shuttle and the Spiritual Peacock as pathfinding tools, so they can naturally take risks. If Brother Luo also possesses one of the three spiritual shuttles, Pindao will never stop him. In fact, Just wait a few more days and the crack will heal on its own.”
Xuan Qingzi replied calmly.
"If you wait a few more days, I'm afraid the treasures inside will have been looted by Gan Laomo and others!"
Another slightly dissatisfied voice sounded, and then a figure shrouded in green mist walked erratically from behind the crowd.
"It turns out that fellow Taoist Yu from Biluoya is here."
When Xuan Qingzi saw this person, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Although this man did not come from a major sect, his poisonous skills were quite famous in the Jin Dynasty. He was a difficult opponent that he was not willing to face easily.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the life and death of these people. Even if everyone was buried in the cracks, he would not frown.
However, according to previously obtained intelligence, it was a monk from the Ye family who opened the seal.
Just as he was thinking about what kind of conspiracy the Ye family might be harboring, he suddenly received a mysterious instruction from within the sect, requiring him to join forces with Qimiao Zhenren of the Tianmo Sect to enter the sealed land, and at the same time try to prevent other monks from entering the crack.
The identity of the person who issued this order was extremely special in Taiyi Sect, and even he did not dare to violate it at all. Otherwise, given his status, he would not do such a thankless thing.
However, since the order requires the two late-stage monks to join forces to enter the seal, it is enough to show that the things hidden within the seal must be extraordinary.
Sure enough, not long ago, he received another letter and jade slip, which actually contained part of the information about the seal. This made the old Taoist greatly shocked after reading it.
I couldn't help but feel deeply regretful about letting Lao Mo and others in earlier.
At this moment, he naturally dared not let other monks enter the crack. Otherwise, if so many monks swarm in, it will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences.
Once the mysterious existence in the seal is released, who in the human world can turn the tide?
What's more, there are treasures such as the Tongtian Lingbao hidden in the seal, so naturally they cannot be given away.
Xuan Qingzi was thinking this in his heart, coughed twice, and was about to speak to comfort the two monks in front of him, when a cold voice came from far away.
"Unexpectedly, we Tianxie Sect and Taichu Sect have not allowed you to set foot in it. If you insist on doing so, I am afraid you will have to forcefully break the formation?"
When these words reached everyone's ears, the expression of the elder named Luo changed slightly in an instant. Then, a black light shot from a distance and arrived in front of everyone in an instant.
After the light converged, a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing soap clothes and a hooked nose appeared.
As soon as the middle-aged Confucian scholar appeared, his eyes passed over the elder Luo and the figure in the green mist, and his brows were filled with a sinister and cunning aura.
"Qimiao Zhenren?!"
The elder Luo immediately recognized the identity of the middle-aged Confucian scholar and couldn't help but feel relieved.
In fact, the reason why the old man surnamed Luo had mood swings was not because the Qimiao Master's magical powers were far better than Xuan Qingzi's.
But because the middle-aged Confucian scholar, who is the law enforcement elder of Tianxie Sect, treats his enemies extremely cruelly and ruthlessly, he is a famous demon giant in the Jin Dynasty.
Even a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk like the old man surnamed Luo would never be willing to provoke such a person.
"Fellow Taoist Qimiao is really joking. Since both Guizong and Taichu Sect attach so much importance to this matter, there must be great danger in the crack at this moment. I can stay here for a few days, and there is nothing wrong with it."
< br>
The old man surnamed Luo laughed, then withdrew and returned to the crowd.
The monk in the green mist also turned and left without saying a word.
However, the other monks around were shocked when they saw that the two largest sects of good and evil were joining forces.
Now even the most stupid person can understand that what is hidden behind this seal must be extraordinary.
Otherwise, how could the two major sects take such a tough stance.
However, facing the powerful forces of the two major sects, the monks of casual cultivators and small sects could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
As for the larger sect monks, they are not willing to become the target of public criticism easily.
At this moment, seven or eight more monks from the Tianxie Sect came galloping from a distance, and they were all demon cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.
As soon as these monks arrived at the scene, they immediately took out the formation flag without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, they set up a large forbidden formation, turning into a thick white mist that completely blocked the entrance to the crack.
Xuan Qingzi, Qimiao Zhenren and others turned around and walked into the magic circle and disappeared without a trace.
This scene made the surrounding monks from large and small sects who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to look at each other in confusion and bewilderment.
Xuan Qingzi stepped into the center of the magic circle, breathed out gently, stopped, and suddenly smiled at Qimiao Zhenren:
"Brother Qimiao, you came much earlier than Pindao expected. But it's a good thing that otherwise Pindao would have been hard-pressed to intimidate those fellow Taoists. Only a person as prestigious as fellow Taoist can impress them. Awe.”
"Fellow Taoist, you want to say that I have a bad reputation!" When the middle-aged Confucian scholar heard this, he responded with a smile.
"Haha, how could a poor man have such an idea?" Xuan Qingzi laughed awkwardly.
"That's it. Let's stop discussing other topics for now. In this operation, we all followed the instructions from our superiors and had to take corresponding measures in the crisis. I heard that fellow Taoist mentioned that people from Yinluo Sect have broken into the seal. Are they the elders? The devil himself took action? If not, why did fellow Taoist allow him to enter?" the middle-aged Confucian scholar asked in confusion.
"When I arrived at the scene, the old demon Qian had already entered the seal with several casual cultivators. Later, Yinluo Sect and some casual cultivators also entered one after another. I didn't understand the importance of the seal at that time, so I couldn't stop it with all my strength." Xuan Qingzi His face was heavy, but he did not mention the situation of the two female disciples of Huaxian Sect.
"So it turns out that the Ye family actually cleverly used a trick to attract attention with fake magic treasures, but in fact they were trying to steal the real thing." Master Qimiao muttered: "If the Ye family hadn't set up a spy in advance, they would still be deceived to this day."
"Unfortunately, the Ye family's operation was well planned, and even if our informants knew about it, they were unable to convey it in time."
"Only by trying to destroy the opponent's formation can we escape smoothly. If we can learn this information in advance, we can prevent the seal from being lifted." The disaster is even worse. The old demon has been living in it for a long time, and may have found the seal."
"Old Demon Qian is not an ignorant person, and he will never do anything that harms others and does not benefit himself. On the other hand, the monks of Tianlan Grassland are worrying. Unlike the monks of the Jin Dynasty, they have few scruples." Master Qimiao shook his head and sighed.
"It is not easy to break the seal of the ancient monks. As long as they continue to break the ancient demon's restrictions, we and the two families can stop it by working together. If the ancient demon's clone has appeared, even if it has been suppressed for many years, its strength may have been damaged. We will work together, plus The five demon-forbidden rings I carry should be enough to subdue him again."
Master Qimiao said slowly.
"The Forbidden Demon Ring? Is this an ancient artifact passed down from the spiritual world and specially used to restrain demons?"
When Xuan Qingzi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, this is the magic weapon used by the monks in the spiritual world to target the high-level ancient demons when the ancient demon world invaded. Even if the object of the seal is the clone of the ancestor of the ancient demon, and five forbidden demon rings are added to it, it can only Surrender obediently," Master Qimiao sneered.
"That's great. I originally thought that this operation would be very risky, but I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Qi Miao was so well prepared that he could find such an ancient artifact."
Xuan Qingzi's complexion improved slightly.
"Actually, I don't have these treasures. The five forbidden demon rings were sent here by people in the sect in accordance with the order. As for the person from your sect, didn't he give you any countermeasures?"
The scribe glanced at the old Tao sideways, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"The poor Taoist set out in a hurry and did not have time to prepare treasures. When I open the secret realm this time, I will take the Tian'a Divine Sword with me. I believe it can also help you, fellow Taoist."
Xuan Qingzi said with a wry smile.
"Tian'a Divine Sword? This sword is the most effective weapon against demons."
After hearing this, the scribe nodded slightly and seemed very satisfied.
"However, Pindao still has a question. The oracle in the door warns us not to harm the life of the ancient demon unless it is absolutely necessary. It is best to re-seal it. Why is this? Wouldn't it be wrong to destroy it directly? Easier? ”
Xuan Qingzi suddenly raised his question.
"No one knows the reason! The order I received also said so. Looking back at that time, the ancient cultivators did not kill this monster. It seems that there must be some reason. We just need to follow the order."
The scribe thought for a moment and answered seriously.
"Fellow Taoist is very correct! We can't meddle in other matters, so as not to cause trouble. Brother Qimiao, have you brought your spirit turtle speeding car? Let's enter the secret realm as soon as possible."
Xuan Qingzi nodded as if he had some understanding, and then turned to the entrance of the crack.
After hearing what the veteran said, the scribe chuckled, waved his sleeves, and a ball of black light wrapped around a flat round object and flew out quickly.
After the object spun in front of the two people, as the wind gradually increased, it soon turned into a hearse several feet long, looking like a huge turtle shell.
Xuan Qingzi smiled slightly when he saw this scene.
Then, the scribe and Xuan Qingzi each said a few words to the monks who came with them, and then the two of them flashed and got into the hearse.
The hearse turned into a black rainbow and flew straight into the crack.
The Zhenhuan Mountain Range is one of the four major spiritual veins of the Jin Dynasty, and Taiyimen, the Taoist holy land with the highest honor, is located in this mountain.
The Taiyi Sect is revered as the leader of the righteous path and is so powerful that only the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Ten Thousand Demons Valley can rival it. In the huge Zhenhuan Mountains, many large and small spiritual mountains are controlled by Taiyi Sect.
Ice Soul Valley is a quiet place in the mountains.
Compared with the surrounding Lingshan Mountains, which are like spring all year round, this valley has thin spiritual energy, strong winds, and is covered with ice and snow all year round.
However, this seemingly desolate land is actually one of the little-known forbidden areas of Taiyi Sect.
Ordinary disciples have never heard of it, or even heard of it.
This place is mysterious and unpredictable. There is a phantom formation at the entrance of the valley. There are no protective measures on the outside, and there are no disciples of Taiyi Sect to guard it.
However, since hundreds of years ago, no one has dared to set foot in it. Even the elders with high status only dare to whisper outside the valley and dare not go even half a step deeper.
However, just as Qimiao Zhenren and Xuan Qingzi from Southern Xinjiang broke into the seal crack, a pale-faced old man in gray robe quietly appeared at the mouth of the valley.
He looked at the phantom formation at the mouth of the valley, with mockery in his eyes. After coughing twice, he turned into green light and rushed into the valley, as if the phantom formation was in vain.
Soon after, the green light disappeared at the bottom of the valley, and the old man appeared.
He looked coldly at the giant ice wall in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, and he said sternly:
"Old Ghost Bai, since you know that Hu is coming, why don't you show up to meet him!"
Although the old man's words were low, they resounded throughout the entire ice valley in an instant, and they were repeated like thunder.
The ice wall was shaking and seemed to be about to collapse.
However, the old man didn't care about this. He closed his eyes slightly and stood quietly in front of the ice wall. After a long time, a long male voice sighed from the depths of the ice wall.
"Fellow Daoist, why did you leave Motuo Mountain and come to my Ice Soul Valley? I didn't invite you here."
"If things were so simple, why would I leave Motuo Mountain? Do you know what happened to Old Ghost in Kunwu Mountain?" The old man said in a heavy tone.
"Old Ghost Xiang? Is the information correct? He is the most powerful among our elders, how could he be in danger?" The voice in the ice wall was full of doubts. (End of chapter)
