After hearing the words of the Great Cave Master, the people of the Biluo Cave Sect, who had lost all their bearings and were like headless flies, finally found their backbone. They stopped their disorderly retreat and followed some foundation-building monks in small groups.
They gathered in the direction of the three main peaks.
Yuan Ming looked towards the mountain gate again and found that Wulu's figure had completely disappeared.
He originally wanted to return to the Fire Hall and sneak away, but when he saw the sinister eyes of the Great Cave Master scanning the whole place, he simply followed the retreating disciples and hurried over there.
By the time he arrived, more than two hundred people had gathered in the open square. Many of them had a look of relief on their faces, as if they were surviving a disaster, and at the same time they were worried. There were even many people who had not completely returned.
Come to God.
Not long ago, Biluo Cave was one of the five major sects in southern Xinjiang north of Shiwanda Mountain. There was a great elder who was at the peak of the middle stage of Danjie. There were also three cave masters in the Danjie period who were the abbots. Their strength was comparable to that of the other four sects.
No matter how much concessions are made, even if a registered disciple in the sect meets mortals when traveling, he will still have the status of "Shangxian". In front of other casual cultivators, he is superior to others. When others hear that he is a monk of Biluodong, they will not dare to make a mistake.
Now, someone suddenly attacked the mountain gate, and he was caught off guard. The elders in the foundation building stage that he originally needed to look up to were all dead and injured, and even the sect-protecting formation was broken.
Many people felt a bit depressed. If it weren't for the Great Cave Master who stabilized the situation and the image that the mysterious Great Elder had established in their minds in the past, they would have simply fled away without caring about anything.
The second cave master was leading seven or eight foundation-building stage monks, orderly directing the disciples who arrived one after another to assemble in different areas. This scene somewhat stabilized the mood of these Qi-refining stage disciples.
At a glance, Yuan Ming saw that the entire square and the area in front of the back mountain were deliberately divided into nine different assembly points.
The second cave master led nearly a hundred people in the center of the square, and there were eight other foundation-building monks, with varying numbers of elders and disciples, sitting around everywhere, forming a large circle of nearly a thousand feet.
And under everyone's feet, I don't know when there were more circles of somewhat complicated runes, and some middle-grade spiritual stones of different colors were inserted in some places connected with each other. It was a large-scale engraved magic spell.
Array.
Although Yuan Ming wanted to return to Huoliantang, he could not escape under the circumstances, so he was assigned to join a gathering point with about ten people.
Most of these people are registered disciples. The foundation-building monk in the middle is tall and has a scar under his right eye. He is Yuan Luo, the direct disciple of the Second Cave Master.
After he arranged for Yuan Ming and others to stand around, he turned his attention to the second cave master in the middle of the square, seeming to be waiting for the next order.
But not long after, there was a loud noise in the distance, and the people from the Dawn Organization were chasing them more than a hundred feet away.
"No more waiting, let's start!" The big cave master, who was hanging in mid-air, gave the order and called out a roc bird and headed towards several battle groups in the distance. It seemed that he wanted to meet the active forces there.
.
The second cave master took the lead and took out a palm-sized square stone and threw it into the ground. The stone turned into a square stone tablet about ten feet high. He pressed the body of the tablet with both hands and channeled his magic power into it.
The runes on the square stone tablet suddenly lit up, and a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
The other eight foundation-building elders who were surrounding each other also took out a smaller stone tablet, turned it into a stone tablet, and poured their magic power into it. Soon, eight more beams of light shot straight into the sky.
Nine Optimus Light Pillars stood, with cyan rays of light spreading from each other to connect with each other, and then formed a cyan magic circle that covered the entire square and blocked the back mountain.
The rest of the people in the magic circle were mainly responsible for protecting the person who controlled the magic circle. These people felt the strong fluctuations coming from the magic circle, and their panic finally eased a little.
But more disciples are still uneasy and confused.
Even some of the elders in the foundation-building period looked panicked, not knowing what they would face next or when the mysterious great elder would appear.
The dawn organization that arrived first formed
The soldiers did not pause at all and immediately began to attack.
The methods used to bombard the sect-protecting formation were all used here again.
However, no matter how they attacked, the entire formation only showed ripples of spiritual power, appearing very stable.
Yuan Ming noticed that as the light and fluctuations of each bombardment lit up, a layer of red light appeared on the surface of the stone tablets held by several elders, accumulating little by little, and the color became darker and darker.
At this time, seven foundation-building monks from the Dawn Organization formed a circle. The person in the middle had a palm-sized black inkstone hanging above his head, and the rest of them were simultaneously typing in spells toward the inkstone.
As the pitch-black inkstone slowly rotated, circles of runes danced around the surface, emitting bursts of black light.
Not long after, the person in the middle chanted several times, raised a magic formula and punched it out. The inkstone suddenly rose into the sky and grew to the size of a house. With the power of a Mount Tai, it moved towards the place below.
The formation crashed down.
The disciples of Biluo Cave looked at this scene, the black shadow covering it like a dark cloud, they all felt panic in their hearts, and could not help but show fear.
There was a loud "boom"!
The huge black inkstone hit the cyan light curtain and stopped steadily.
There was no sign of collapse on the cyan light curtain. Instead, a moment later, a dazzling light burst out. As the light burst out, a powerful force of resistance rose from all over the circle and rushed upward.
The next moment, the black inkstone was shaken by the huge force and flew backwards, hitting many Daybreak members.
Seeing this, the monks surrounded by six people quickly activated their magic skills and tried to take back the inkstone.
However, his black inkstone was not under his control at all at this moment, and it staggered and hit everyone on the ground, causing everyone to avoid it.
Loud roar!
Where everyone was standing at dawn, a large crater of tens of feet was smashed out, and smoke, dust and rubble were everywhere.
"Everyone, please stop." At this time, a clear female voice suddenly sounded, stopping everyone's attack at Dawn.
It was the female formation mage who could form a formation with her hands.
This female formation mage's status in the entire Dawn Organization was obviously quite special. As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone immediately obeyed and temporarily stopped the flood of attacks.
At this time, the clown walked up to the female formation mage and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what is so mysterious about this formation?"
"This array is not a simple defensive array. It can absorb the power of external attacks and release it in an instant as a means of counterattack. This should come from the Luo family of Wu Kingdom." The female array mage replied.
"So that's it." said the clown.
"It's not difficult to break this, but it still takes some effort. This mission is so troublesome, I should have known I wouldn't have done it." said the female formation mage.
"Oh, sister, it was you who wanted to come here at the beginning, but now I regret it, but I am so happy." The clown said with a smile.
"Xiao Yao! Let me tell you, don't rush so far ahead. You won't remember it every time. We are just going through the motions." The array master advised in a low voice.
"I know, I know, I'll just deal with it later." The clown said casually.
"Let me think of a way to break it," the female array mage said.
At this time, Ouji, the helmsman of the Southern Xinjiang branch of the Daybreak Organization, also walked out of the separated crowd, glanced at the temporary defense line constructed in Biluo Cave, and his expression was slightly condensed.
"Everyone in Biluo Cave, listen to the mission we have received this time. It is to destroy Biluo Cave, but it is not to massacre everyone. We only kill the culprits. As long as you are willing to give up resistance, we will kill everyone.
On the one hand, I will leave you a way to survive. But if you resist resolutely, you will be killed without mercy." He announced coldly.
"Is their target this time just the Great Elder?" Yuan Ming heard this, and his heart moved. For some reason, he always felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't tell the details for a while.
When many ordinary elders and disciples heard this, they were also in an uproar. Many of them began to look timid, and they were already in a corner.
Some people in Biluo Cave were suddenly shaken and seemed to be falling apart.
At this time, the big cave master, who came back from the distant place to answer the doorman, controlled the roc bird to rush here quickly, and shouted loudly:
"Don't believe other people's rhetoric. Once you give up resistance and surrender now, even if you don't die now, what awaits you will be the fate of being a slave in the mines for the rest of your life. Life is worse than death, and you will never be able to turn around from now on."
As soon as this was said, the square fell silent.
Yuan Ming also heard about mining slaves, which refer to slaves in various mines controlled by major sects or families in southern Xinjiang who never see the light of day and dig ore in the mine tunnels.
Compared to them, becoming a beast slave in Biluo Cave is already a great gift.
The disciples of Biluo Cave were more accustomed to believing in their own sect after hearing this statement, not to mention that it came from the mouth of the big cave master.
But faced with such a situation, one instinctively feels that there is no hope of victory and wants to surrender.
However, no matter what they thought, the turbulent military morale could no longer be restored.
The big cave master and some of his people easily landed in the center of the formation and joined the second cave master and others.
"Everyone, the great elder has just transmitted the message. The great elder is currently in seclusion at a critical moment. When he comes out of seclusion smoothly, he can lead us to kill these rabble in one fell swoop." The great cave master reassured everyone.
Thinking of the imminent arrival of the great elder who was like a pillar of the mountain, the Biluodong monk who had already lost his fighting spirit gained some confidence. With the protection of the magic circle, the turbulent situation calmed down a little.
"Great Elder, he..."
When the second cave master saw the big cave master approaching, he couldn't help lowering his voice to ask, but he hesitated to speak.
"The Great Elder's attack has reached the final moment. It will take some time. Once successful, we, Biluo Cave, will be the only one in the Northern Territory. These little ones are no match for us." The Great Cave Master said.
"We can only hold on until the great elder comes out of seclusion?" the second cave master said worriedly.
"The great elder sent a message to me to stabilize the situation at the front and just hold back Ouji and Xue Zhan for the time being. As long as there are no monks in the pill formation stage to cause trouble there, it won't matter. When he is refined and released, that's all.
The time of death of a person." The Great Cave Master glanced at the people outside at Dawn and said.
After that, he asked again: "How long can this Qingliu Huanzhuan Formation last?"
"Even if Ouji and Xue Zhan join forces to attack fiercely, the formation will not collapse for a while. The attacks of others cannot break through the defense limit of the formation, they can only help the formation to increase its strength, and there is nothing to worry about." 2
The cave master said so.
After hearing this, the big cave master's eyes flashed for a moment, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Right now, Erdong is mainly responsible for controlling the Qingliu Huanzhuan Formation. Naturally, it is impossible for him to leave the formation to assist in the battle. If he wants to stop Ouji and Xue Zhan, he can only rely on him.
"It's such a shame that Ling Songhua is not in the sect at this time..." The second cave master half complained and half resented.
"The matter has come to an end. It's useless to talk about this now. Let's do our best." The big cave master said after sighing.
He raised his head and saw Ouji and Xue Zhan flying up, intending to cross the square formation and head towards the back mountain, so he immediately flew out of the formation.
"You two, we haven't decided the winner yet, do you dare to fight for another 300 rounds?" The Big Cave Master stood in mid-air in casual clothes, with a long purple sword suspended beside him, with a solemn expression on his face, and said slowly.
"Why do you insist on working so hard for Chen Cangqiong? Look at the situation." Ou Ji looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said.
"The Great Elder has been kind to me. It can be said that without him, I, Mao Lihong, would not be where I am today. Now, as the Great Cave Master of Biluo Cave, I must guard the sect. I also advise you to retreat early and wait for the Great Elder to come out.
, you can’t leave even if you want to.” The big cave master said slowly.
"In that case, don't blame me for being unkind." Ouji heard this and said.
"There's no need to talk nonsense with him anymore, brother Ou, don't tie yourself up!" Xue Zhan licked his lips, his eyes flashing with blood.
"Okay, let's make a quick decision."
Ouji whispered.
After saying that, the two of them rushed out at the same time and headed straight for the master of the cave.
…………
On a big tree a hundred feet away from Biluo Cave in the back mountain, the silver cat Xiying lay motionless on a branch, his figure blending in with the leaves. If you don't look carefully, you can't see his figure at all.
The heterochromatic eyes were staring in the direction of Biluo Cave without blinking, muttering something in his mouth: "Xi Cangqiong, all your disciples and disciples are almost dead, why don't you come out? If you don't come out, you will be alone.
All your hard work will be in vain."
"Come out, come out, come out quickly."
"Come out, come out quickly."
After reading for a while, I felt tired, so I simply stopped looking at the movement at the entrance of the cave and instead focused on a group of ants fighting on the ground.
On one side, two more sparrows were released. The two sparrows chased each other and had a great time.
…………
In a valley somewhere in Shiwanda Mountain, in a canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is a lake as blue as jade.
A silver-haired old man wearing a bamboo hat was standing on the edge of the cliff, his hands behind his back, looking at the lake below, his face extremely calm.
The valley is crescent-shaped, and when viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a blue moon set in the valley.
The gentle breeze, sparkling waves, and the mist floating above the lake make it a paradise.
At this moment, as a loud cry came, a fiery red figure swooped down from mid-air and landed on the open space behind the old man. It was a big fiery red bird about three feet long.
On the back of the bird, a slender fiery red figure jumped down and stood not far from the old man, motionless.
The old man in the bamboo hat slowly looked back, looking at the beautiful woman with a gentle temperament in front of him, his face seemed to have a trace of reminiscence and a trace of relief.
The two of them looked at each other silently, and the original mountain breeze seemed to have stopped under this fog.
I don't know how long it took, but the two of them suddenly laughed at the same time.
……….
Sky over Biluodong Square.
The big cave master raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist. A group of red fire shadows appeared next to him, and immediately turned into a huge fire more than ten feet long. It flapped its wings and exuded strong spiritual power fluctuations.
As its wings flap, billowing heat waves roll down, leaving people with a burning sensation that will make their mouths dry for the rest of their lives.
"What a powerful aura!" Yuan Ming looked up and couldn't help but think.
Some people nearby could not help but whisper: "Is this the Fire Spirit Collection of the Great Cave Master's spirit beasts? The aura is really huge and terrifying, and that long sword should be the Great Cave Master's real magic weapon, the Kulun Sword, right?"
!」
"I heard that the cave master hatched it from a beast egg he found from the Tali volcano. He ate the treasures of heaven and earth since he was a child and cultivated it bit by bit."
"I once heard from the master that this fire spirit set has reached the top level of the second-level monster, and is one step away from unlocking the third level of spiritual intelligence. That is a powerful spiritual beast that can compete with the monks in the pill formation stage!
"
Unlike monks, ordinary spiritual beasts can freely control their own magic power. As long as they enter a fighting state, they will release powerful spiritual power fluctuations to frighten the enemy, so the onlookers will feel it very strongly.
The big cave master jumped on the back of the spirit beast and led Ouji and the two to the west, tacitly avoiding the densely populated areas of the square on both sides.
Yuan Ming's eyes did not always stay on the Big Cave Master and the others. Instead, he checked the situation of the members of the Daybreak organization from time to time.
At the same time, the two soul crows he sent outside were also providing him with vision, exploring the situation in various parts of the sect, and helping him make arrangements for his escape.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that the female formation mage in the Dawn Organization, who seemed to have a very special status, had not glanced at the three pill-forming monks since just now, and seemed to be thinking about something.
But before Yuan Ming's eyes fell on her for a moment, she had already clapped her hands with a proud smile on her face.
Then, she quickly took out various formation flags and arranged them on the ground.
This scene made Yuan Ming's heart tremble: Could it be that there was a way to break the formation so soon?
Law?
After everything was placed in place, the female array mage took out a black iron jar and began to pour some kind of black powder inside, using it to draw lines to connect all the array flags and bone fragments, forming a complex array.
Array.
"Is she trying to use the magic circle to break the magic circle?" Yuan Ming thought to himself.
After the magic circle was completed, the female formation master retreated behind the magic circle and immediately cast spells to activate it.
At this moment, a man in black suddenly walked out of the Dawn members. He patted the storage bag on his waist, summoned a giant bull that was more than two feet tall and covered in scales, and stepped into the magic circle.
"What are you doing?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but frown.
In his understanding, this type of magic circle is probably some kind of powerful attack method, used to break through the defense line of Biluo Cave, but looking at the current situation, it seems a little strange?
While Yuan Ming was thinking about it, a roar sounded in the air, and then a dark red figure plummeted down from the air.
It was a bloody battle. The master of the cave used the Kunlun Sword and struck him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground injured.
"The Great Cave Lord is mighty!"
This scene refreshed the spirits of all the Biluo Cave monks below.
However, Yuan Ming only glanced at the top, and then immediately returned to the female formation master. He saw the woman pinching the spell with her hands, looking far away, and the light on her palms lit up, hitting the spell on the ground.
Array.
The next moment, the magic circle on the ground lit up with a yellow halo, and a ray of light flashed, engulfing the figure of the giant scaly bull, and then disappeared.
Yuan Ming subconsciously felt something was wrong and quickly turned around to look back.
At this time, at a crowd gathering place a little far away from him, a yellow halo appeared out of thin air, and then the light expanded, and a huge figure emerged from it, which was the giant scaly bull.
"Teleportation Array?" Yuan Ming was startled, and then became curious and wanted to go to the Array to see what was going on.
The moment the figure of the giant scaly bull appeared, he lowered his head with a very clear purpose and rushed towards the elder who was holding the formation stone in the center of the crowd with his hands, his sharp horns glowing with golden light.
.
The surrounding disciples were unable to react for a moment, and hurriedly activated their magic weapons, spells, and talismans to blast towards the giant bull.
However, the giant bull ran with astonishing momentum, and its scales were extremely hard. It was dripping with blood under the bombardment, but it did not fall down, and rushed straight in front of the elder.
I saw the golden glow of its two horns, and it suddenly stabbed towards the stone tablet in the elder's hand, intending to destroy it.
Even though the elder himself was focusing on activating the magic circle, he was caught off guard and failed to respond in time.
Just when the two horns were about to pierce the stone tablet, a red-light flying knife struck from the side and hit the two horns.
The huge force directly cracked its horns and overturned the giant bull to the ground.
Before it could make any other moves, another flying knife suddenly pierced the giant bull's head.
After all, this spiritual beast failed to succeed and died in the Qingliu Huanzhuan Formation, in the hands of the Second Cave Master who took action in time.
Yuan Ming glanced at it and saw that after the two flying knives completed their mission, they flew back upside down and hung beside the main body of the second cave. They were lined up with five other identical flying knives to protect their master.
However, after a giant scaly bull fell, another giant spiritual beast suddenly appeared again at another formation, with the goal of destroying the magic formation there.
Just because of the previous incident, the people in Biluo Cave also became alert. When another spiritual beast broke in, the others no longer panicked at the beginning and were able to deal with such an invasion calmly.
Four or five level four spirit beasts that entered the Qingliu Huanzhuan Formation through the teleportation circle were killed one after another. The female formation master seemed to be discouraged and temporarily stopped casting spells.
When everyone in Biluo Cave saw this, their sluggish morale was slightly cheered up.
But no one noticed that a dark red shadow appeared beside the teleportation circle at some point, and then jumped into the circle, followed by a yellow halo flashing by,
