After the death of the Blackwater Tribe elder, countless green lights burst out from his body, scurrying around like poisonous snakes. Every living thing in his path was extinguished, and hundreds of Blackwater Tribe monks fell down in an instant.
After the death of these monks, their souls flew out and were absorbed by the green light, making them even more powerful.
The expressions of the two elders, Tang and Yue, changed greatly. They hurriedly used their magical powers to resist the scurrying blue light while directing everyone to retreat.
"An enemy has sneaked in! It's a monk from the Witch Clan!"
"Everyone, don't mess up your position. This is the bottom of Dragon Burial Lake. Activate the formation restrictions quickly and prepare to kill the enemy!"
Elder Tang shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the soldiers' morale.
Then he took out a token from his sleeve and pinched it with one hand, hoping to awaken the defensive restrictions in the water palace.
But the restrictions in the 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!"
Suddenly there was a loud laugh in the distance.
Countless figures were seen flying out from the depths of the Water Mansion, and the dense 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 face was extremely gloomy.
Wu Changqing laughed and said: "Tang Jiu, you Blackwater Tribe have really played a big game of chess, and you actually want to plot against Nan Xuan! Unfortunately, when you went to hunt down the Nan Xuan monks, I had already led my troops to raid your lair. Now this
The restrictions in the water palace are of no use."
After hearing this, Tang Jiu 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 into Burial Dragon Lake. This
Are you going to openly break the treaty and become 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 said with a smile.
"You want a slate? Dreaming! That is a secret treasure passed down from the ancestors. The eight slates contain shocking secrets. Unless a foreign enemy invades, the slates must not be taken out when life and death are at stake. As a descendant of the eight tribes, don't you follow the instructions of your ancestors?"
After hearing this, Wu Changqing said with disdain on his face: "How old are we now? Are we still adhering to our ancestors' instructions? Our ancestors have imprisoned us here for generations, let alone practicing immortality. There is not even a sub-sage now! Ever since I saw this
After experiencing the powerful power of outside monks, I know that the Black Mountain Territory is just a prison, and all of us are imprisoned in the prison and will never be able to stand up!"
"So you have to violate 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 haven't given you a chance. Let me tell you one last time. Hand over the slate and I can take you out of this prison together.
prison!"
"dream!"
Tang Jiu spat at him, waved his hand, and shouted: "The monks of the Blackwater tribe listen to the order and immediately use 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 magic spells in their hands, guiding strands of Black Water Essence to swarm in from all directions, and were mobilized by them to transform into various magical powers.
"Oh, stubbornness!"
Wu Changqing sighed, and then showed a ferocious smile: "In that case, don't blame Wu for being ungrateful and arresting you all. If I search for your souls one by one, I don't believe that I can't find you Blackwater Tribe members."
slate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook the golden bell in his hand.
jingle bell, jingle bell
The strange ringing sound lingers in the water house at the bottom of the lake eight thousand feet away
However, Liang Yan and Wu Xin teamed up to investigate the enemy's situation. Although they did not find any flaws in Tianmu City, they unexpectedly met Linghu Bai.
Liang Yan got Linghu Bai's twenty-eight-character prophecy, and he became more and more surprised and suspicious.
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, Hong Yun, Zhao Yi and other generals 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 nine-layered clouds sing the fairy music, 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 its meaning. Even if he exhausts his deduction skills, he still hasn't gained anything.
"City Lord, what exactly do you think?"
Liang Yan frowned and muttered 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.
During the Great War between the North and the South, could it be that hundreds of millions of living beings were all discarded pieces on the chessboard? Even if they had cultivated to their current strength, they could not escape being manipulated?
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 North-South War, but now it seems that I am in the middle of the game without realizing that this war is full of fog. How many people can really see through it?
indivual?"
Just when I was secretly feeling sad, I suddenly heard someone coming to report from outside the tent.
"I am reporting to Commander Liang that General Gui Wuqi and the three elders of Kunwu Mountain have returned to the military camp with a group of Nanxuan monks. Now I would like to ask to see you."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression changed slightly.
"Are there only three heroes, Gui Wuqi and Kunwu? 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, and the army didn't return either. There were only a dozen True Lord Tongxuan."
"What?"
Liang Yan's expression completely changed.
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?
Instantly, Liang Yan had a bad premonition in his heart.
He hurriedly opened the tent and was about to set off when he heard Gui Wuqi's voice coming from the distance:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! I want to see Liang Shuai, and I'll see him right away!"
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.
Liang Yan saw this and hurried forward to greet him.
"Gui Wuqi, what happened? Why are there only you, Tianxie Demon Lord, Su Muyun and the others?"
"Shuai Liang, something bad is happening!"
Gui Wuqi screamed when he saw him, and then sent a message: "The four generals of the Ao family are all spies of Beiming. The devil has died and the Nanxuan monks who accompanied him 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 sweep Gui Wuqi and Kunwu Sanying into his body, 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 plot against the Demon Lord, and the four generals of the Ao family under the Demon Lord are actually spies of Beiming. Among them, Ao Tianhe is also the master of the Xuanyin Pavilion and has a cultivation level of the Sub-Sacred Realm.
"
At that moment, Gui Wuqi told all the things that happened in Zhanlonghu and his party.
Liang Yan remained silent and listened to the whole story quietly.
When he heard that Lord Tianxie 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."
After Gui Wuqi heard what he said, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Liang Shuai, before he dies, Lord Tianxie, please let me bring you a message."
"What words?"
"He said that he has never lost to you, Liang Yan, in this 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 demonic skills, and can suppress the powerful sub-sage with the cultivation level of overcoming eight difficulties. He has indeed not lost to anyone in this life."
After saying that, he stood up, faced southwest, and bowed seriously in the direction of Dragon Burial Lake.
"Friend Wuxie, 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 face 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 Daoist Tianxie sent the message at the cost of his life. We must not let it down!"
After hearing this, Gui Wuqi and others also cheered up and nodded: "What Liang Shuai said is absolutely true, but we didn't expect that the famous Xuanyin Pavilion Master would be lurking around us. Now that Tianmu City has not been destroyed, Qiang
The enemy appears again, I wonder what Liang Shuai plans to do next?"
Liang Yan muttered: "That Tong Ni has fought with me before and knows my methods, so he doesn't dare to attack by force. He first killed Demon Lord Tianxie, which was like breaking my arm. The next step should be to run towards Tang Qianzhi."
!”
"good!"
Gui Wuqi nodded and said: "Tang Qianzhi, Wei Wuming, and Nan Youyue are all top masters under the Yasheng, but now they are separated from our main force. Once they are surrounded by Beiming monks, plus Tong Tong
If Ni takes action himself, he may not be able to survive."
Yuying, one of the three heroes of Kunwu, also said: "I estimate that the first thing Tong Ni will do after unlocking the seal is to rush to Tianmu City, and then let Wang Tianhe take the Beiming army with him to encircle and suppress Tang Qianzhi.
.”
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded and said in a deep voice: "That Tong Ni is a sub-sage after all. The seal that Demon Lord Tianxie exchanged for his life is unknown for how long it will last. We must find Tang Qianzhi before them, otherwise we will be killed one by one.
Break."
"What about Netherworld Valley?"
"I 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 the addition of Tong Ni and the Ao brothers, Beiming's strength has greatly increased, and Tianmu City will be difficult to break. So the top priority is to first
Find Tang Qianzhi, gather all the strength in one place, and then make the next step."
After Gui Wuqi and others heard this, they looked at each other, nodded slightly and said, "That's the only way it can be."
Liang Yan said nothing more and immediately ordered all the generals to be summoned to the camp to discuss matters.
He briefly told what happened at Dragon Burial Lake, 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 was rising, the military camp outside Netherworld Valley was already empty, and not a single person was 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 fluctuation of breath in front of him. He couldn't help but open his eyes and woke up from his 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!
"You noticed it too?"
"Um."
Wuxin nodded, looked into the distance, and said softly: "There are more than a dozen complex forbidden fluctuations ahead. It seems that it should be the territory of the Giant Spirit Clan."
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 has arrived here, why is there 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 the Nanxuan monks, there are also very few monks from the Giant Spirit Clan. In their territory, I can hardly sense the masters above the Tribulation Realm."
Wuxin was a little surprised after hearing this. He glanced at Liang Yan subconsciously and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that his power of consciousness was so strong that he could actually detect the contents inside through the restrictions of the 'Giant Spirit Clan'."
Condition!"
After thinking for a while, he added: "How come the Giant Spirit Clan doesn't have a Tribulation Realm monk sitting in charge? 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 sky is full of yellow sand 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 and are indestructible!
