Three years ago, Gu Ying and the elders from Spirit Beast Mountain were ordered to come to the front line, and they have stayed here since then.
As the war becomes more intense, the number of battles between good and evil becomes more and more frequent. Small-scale fighting occurs every day, while large-scale battles only happen once a month or so.
This was different from the scruples that the Six Sects had when they invaded the Yue Kingdom. At that time, the Seven Sects had no intention of fighting to the death, and the Six Sects did not take it seriously, so the intensity of the war was naturally very limited.
But things are different now. The good and the evil are evenly matched, and Lingfeng Kingdom is bound to win. The brutality of the battle can be imagined.
Gu Ying, as a monk of the Yuling Sect in the alchemy stage, has experienced dozens of battles, large and small, from three years ago. She has won and lost. Injuries are inevitable, and she has killed countless enemy monks with her own hands.
Quite a few.
In short, the past three years have been full of ups and downs. The difference is that I have never been as close to death as this time.
Just yesterday, there was a battle between the two sides. The foundation-building stage disciples fought on a large scale on the battlefield, while the pill-forming stage monks went deep into the Red Sand Wasteland to fight each other.
This is also a common practice and an unspoken rule that everyone acquiesces to and follows. High-level monks will not interfere with the battles of low-level monks, otherwise it will be chaos.
Gu Ying naturally knew this, so as usual, she found an enemy to fight after the battle started. This person was none other than the eldest of the four sons of Taiyue, Mo Xiaosheng.
Gu Ying didn't know much about this person. She only knew that his four brothers were originally monks from the Taiyue Sect of Wangshui Kingdom. After Wangshui Kingdom was captured by the Righteous Way, the Taiyue Sect took refuge in Haoran Pavilion, and the four brothers also became
Become a part of this pavilion.
It is rumored that the four brothers practice Confucian Kung Fu and are quite famous in Wangshui Kingdom. They are respectfully called the "Fourth Son of Taiyue". Not only are they saints, they should at least be gentlemen, right?
But he didn't expect that everything was a disguise. Mo Xiaosheng, including his brothers, acted in an unusually insidious manner.
Just as the two of them were fighting and walking away, getting further and further away from the battlefield, gradually entering the depths of the Red Sand Wasteland, three of the other brothers suddenly jumped out, and the four of them besieged her together. p>
Four mid-level pill-forming monks, together with the same birth, have spiritual connections, and with their cooperation, their strength has increased several times. Facing such an opponent, there is no way she can beat her, and she turns around and leaves without saying a word.<
/p>
However, the four people had obviously been planning for a long time and could not let them leave easily, so they immediately launched a crazy pursuit.
In this way, they ran away and fought all the way, gradually losing their way. Gu Ying also gradually lost her support, and was finally trapped near the hill.
Naturally, she and Dajin Yuwei were no match. They persisted for nearly a day under the constant siege of the other party, which resulted in her being seriously injured and her mana severely overdrawn.
I have to say that Mo Juren arrived just in time. If it had been at 1:30 at night, he would probably never see her again.
Thinking of this, Gu Ying's gratitude to him became even stronger. She couldn't think of how to repay this life-saving kindness for the time being. She could only solemnly promise that if she asked for anything in the future, she would go through fire and water.
Tianduan Mountains, Xieyue Valley.
The terrain here is flat and the area is vast enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to camp. In addition, the place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an excellent place to hide troops.
Therefore, after the war began, the Yuling Sect set up this place as a camp for frontline monks.
At this time, outside the camp, two golden giants, one large and one small, were suspended in the air. It was Mo Juren and Gu Ying who were coming.
Unlike the latter, Mo Juren, who came here for the first time, couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes. The vast camp area in front of his sight was all shrouded in a huge mysterious formation.
The huge light curtain formed by the array circulates and appears majestic, especially for the detection of spiritual consciousness. It has a strong shielding effect. With the strength of his spiritual consciousness, it is impossible to see any information inside from the outside.
However, other monks flew in and out from time to time in the air nearby. Through the narrow passage, one could vaguely see the scales and claws inside.
"This is the Xuanji Heaven Sealing Formation, which integrates defense, attack and transformation into one, and is extremely powerful. Even compared with the mountain guarding formations of major sects, it is not inferior at all." Gu Ying explained, her delicate hands following.
He raised it, and a palm-sized silver token emerged, and continued,
"If you want to enter the formation, you must have something that can pass through it. The monks in the alchemy stage have this kind of token, which can open large channels, while the disciples in the foundation stage hold spiritual talismans, and the channels they open are very narrow, and they are usually used by individuals.
."
So finely divided? Mo Juren was surprised and looked around. Sure enough, those foundation-building monks entering and exiting the light curtain were indeed using silver talismans.
Gu Ying immediately activated the token and threw it out. The token flashed with silver light and flew straight onto the light screen. In an instant, with the token as the center, a wide passage with a diameter of ten feet appeared.
Emerge.
Seeing this, the two of them did not hesitate, and the imperial envoys Da Jin and Xiao Jin entered one after another. After the tokens were put away, the originally separated passages were quickly closed.
……
It has to be said that after these years of continuous annexation, the strength of the Demonic Dao has grown rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Yuling Sect, which is one of them, is naturally no exception.
In the original war of Yue Kingdom, just the addition of a Spirit Beast Mountain greatly improved its strength. In the following time, similar situations continued.
Today's Yuling Sect's overall strength has increased several times compared to that of the past. The number of foundation-building monks, pill-forming monks, and even Nascent Soul monks is no longer what it used to be.
Just like the camp in front of you, there are over 10,000 monks, and most of them are members of the Yuling Sect. Although there is support from other sects, it is ultimately limited.
Even so, Yuling Sect itself is still able to do it with ease. Most of the resources used are the power of various branch sects, and only part of the monks from the main sect are sent.
"It's really spectacular!" Within the formation, on a certain street, Mo Juren was walking side by side with Gu Ying. He looked at the huge but orderly rows of people in the valley.
I can't help but feel a little emotional about the various building complexes. After all, it is a large complex, and the camp is also very particular, without the slightest thought of a lake.
The number of monks in the camp is also countless. Looking around, there are dense lights and shadows everywhere in the air and on the ground, making it a prosperous scene.
Suddenly, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he asked again,
"By the way, how much do you know about the situation of Taiyue's four sons?"
"They were once monks from the Taiyue Sect of Wangshui Kingdom. Later, they were annexed by Zhengdao and took refuge in Haoran Pavilion..." Gu Ying did not hesitate, and said everything she was about to understand.
"Taiyue Sect, is that a spiritual sect that considers itself a disciple of Confucianism?"
There is a Confucian sect in Tiannan, but there are not many people who practice this way. Most of them are in Haoran Pavilion. Taiyue Sect is relatively different. It is rumored that the sect's Zhenshu Kung Fu "Taiyue Zhengxin Jue" is not orthodox Confucianism.
The exercises are just similar.
However, the leader of this sect, Tai Yuezi, was a loyal believer in Confucianism and Taoism. When recruiting disciples, he would only accept people of the same kind, which created the unique style of this sect.
"It's them." Gu Ying nodded her head lightly, but her bright eyes suddenly flashed and she asked,
"Are you worried about the person who escaped?"
"Hatred has been forged, and it is impossible to let it go. With the behavior of the four brothers, it is obvious that they are not gentlemen, and it is not known that they even resorted to all possible means." Mo Juren nodded.
, said with a solemn expression.
"It's all my fault..." Gu Ying also thought of this, and guilt suddenly came to her heart.
"Okay, don't blame yourself too much. In that situation, could I still watch you die because I was worried about the other party's revenge?" Mo Juren comforted him, but unfortunately it had no effect at all.
, the latter was moved and felt more and more guilty. After thinking about it, he said immediately,
"Your characteristics are too obvious. After that person returns, he will know it clearly after just a little inquiry. If he really intends to take revenge, he should not take the risk of going to Tianluo Kingdom. However, Tianhua Tower in Yue Kingdom is
We have to guard against it."
"There is no need to go to Yueguo. I have already planned to open a Tianhualou branch in Songzhou. The store staff are already here. It is estimated that the branch will be opened in less than ten days and a half." Mo Juren shook his head slightly.
"Branch!" After hearing this, Gu Ying's complexion suddenly changed slightly. Wouldn't it be worse? There is still a sect in Yue State after all. They just need to be prepared for danger when they go out to do errands.
Songzhou is completely different. Lingfeng Kingdom is still at war. Although the states in the rear have been captured, they need time to digest. Naturally, the defense cannot be too tight. There are also Nascent Soul Stage monks in each state, but they cannot be guarded all the time.
Keep your eyes on a certain place, and if the other party sneaks over, it is not impossible.
When she thought of this, she became more and more anxious. After thinking about it, she suddenly said,
"Well, I'll go there and sit there for a while."
"You..." Mo Juren stopped and looked at the other person's blood-stained dress for a while, then shook his head and said,
"In this situation, are you going to sit in charge, or are you going to die?"
"I... I am also a monk in the middle stage of the pill formation, and with Jin'er's assistance, I can at least hold him back for a while." Gu Ying felt a little uncomfortable under the other party's deep gaze. How can a woman not love beauty? It's a pity.
It was inconvenient along the way, stained with blood, and even some of the damaged clothes had not had a chance to be changed. They were just cleaned with magic. Although nothing was exposed, but at this time, being carefully looked at by the other party, I always felt a little bit in my heart.
Awkward.
"That's it." Looking back, Mo Juren couldn't help but ponder. With the ghost mark, he was not worried for the time being. If the other party made any changes, he could sense it immediately and respond in time.
However, nothing is absolute, and the ghost mark is not omnipotent. Even though it is extremely hidden, there is still the possibility of being exposed. If the other party notices it and uses the trick to do something, it will be really troublesome.<
/p>
The chance of this happening is very low. After all, even if he had a strong spiritual consciousness, he was silently attacked at the beginning, and he only realized it after careful inspection.
However, even though the probability is low, we have to guard against it.
It would be good to let Gu Ying go to Songzhou and stay there for a while, so that she can recover from her injuries. If there is any emergency, it can be postponed for a while.
"That's fine, Yunzhi happens to be there. I'll feel more relieved if you come over." Mo Juren nodded, and a flash of brilliance appeared in his hand, revealing a square brocade box and handing it to the other party,
"There is a set of formations here. You can take it over and set it up near the Tianhualou branch. This formation is powerful enough to withstand the later stages of pill formation..."
"Girl Yunzhi is here too?" Gu Ying took the brocade box, but her attention was not on the powerful power of the formation, but asked in surprise.
"Yes, she has just broken through to the late stage of foundation building, but her combat effectiveness is far behind. You might as well give her some guidance when you get there, so as not to suffer losses from enemies in the future."
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Gu Ying nodded, and then put the brocade box away. She owed the other party such a big favor, and at this time she no longer had the kind of rejection that she used to have.
You are cold-hearted, at least not in front of the other party. Not to mention responding to every request, as long as the other party needs it and you are within your ability, you will never refuse.
The two walked forward again, communicating from time to time along the way.
Gu Ying knew that it was his first time here and he didn't understand everything, so she took the opportunity to explain in detail the situation on the front line and a lot of information in the camp.
They didn't stop until they reached the central area, in front of a huge and rough-looking stone temple.
"This is the meeting hall. The Dongmen elder who is responsible for presiding over the battle situation on the front line is here. As soon as you get here, you'd better go and take a photo first." Gu Ying looked at the main hall and reminded in a low voice.
"Elder Dongmen" Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly. This person was naturally not the Supreme Elder Dongmen Tu, but one of his clan brothers, called Dongmen Yue, a late-stage monk of Danjie.
He had already learned about it from Ancestor Chi Ling before he came, and also knew that the other person was the general person in charge here. When he heard Gu Ying's reminder, he didn't show any surprise.
"Where are our people?" Mo Juren suddenly said.
"In another place, I will take you there later. Speaking of which, everyone will be very happy when they know you have arrived at the front line." Gu Ying naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words and couldn't help but smile.
While talking, the two of them had already entered the main hall.
Different from the rough appearance outside, the overall style inside is particularly exquisite, and the decoration and layout all reveal the designer's delicate thoughts.
On the stone platform in the deepest part of the hall, an old man with disheveled hair was standing with his hands behind his back, staring silently at the huge map hanging beside him, as if he was thinking about something.
This person was Dongmen Yue. Perhaps he was so absorbed in watching that he didn't even notice someone coming in. Not far away stood two maids in the Qi training period. Although they noticed someone coming, they did not dare to say anything.
.
Mo Juren glanced at Gu Ying beside him, and then shook his head slightly. He did not say a word to remind him, but took the initiative to find a table and chair beside him and slowly sat down.
When Gu Ying saw this, a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. She also walked to the side and sat down, waiting quietly. The two of them never disturbed each other, but whispered and continued to communicate.
It wasn't until a moment later that Dongmen Yue came out of his reverie and noticed someone arriving.
His eyes swept over the two people below, especially when he saw Mo Juren's figure, his heart suddenly moved.
