Time flies, and one year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This year is undoubtedly an extremely long time in the eyes of the defensive monks on the White Hump and the attacking monks outside the White Hump.
The power of the mountain-protecting formation on the white hump was stronger than Luo Yunqing expected.
Although he has successively mobilized hundreds of Qi-training monks and more than a dozen foundation-building monks to join the mountain-attacking army during this year, the monks of the Chen family on the White Camelback have also spared no effort to use their magic power.
Inject into the formation to increase the power of the formation.
Attacking the mountain like this for a year, not to mention the manpower lost by Luo Yunqing's side due to the counterattack of the monks on the White Camelback, the amount of spiritual stones consumed just to replenish mana was as much as 70,000 to 80,000!
Of course, the Chen family on the white hump suffered even greater losses.
The spiritual energy of White Camel Peak's spiritual veins could not be supplied by the continuous consumption of the mountain-protecting formation as early as three months after the attack on the mountain. The ability to sustain it for the rest of time depended entirely on the Chen family's use of the spiritual power from the spiritual stones and the mana of the monks to replace the spiritual veins.
Spiritual energy activates the formation.
A conservative estimate is that the number of spiritual stones consumed by the Chen family during this year's defense exceeded 150,000 spiritual stones, which was almost double that of the monks who attacked the mountain!
Fortunately, the spiritual stone was not just paid for by the Chen family. Huang Shamen's Zhang Yunpeng had clearly promised in the communication that Huang Shamen would bear half of the Chen family's defense costs afterwards.
But during this year, Zhou Yang never showed up. He only borrowed a quiet room from Chen Pingan to practice hard in seclusion.
After a year of hard training, with the help of the power of the elixir, his cultivation level was successfully promoted to the eighth level of foundation building, which was a big step closer to opening up the Purple Mansion.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Head Zhang sent news today that in order to completely defeat us, Luo Yunqing has persuaded two loose cultivators, Iron Stick Man and Cangyun Sou, to come to the Baisha River Oasis to support us."
"But the strange thing is that under such circumstances, he told us not to worry, saying that someone would come to support us, and also asked us to act according to the situation and be ready to fight."
"Do you know what kind of medicine he is selling in this gourd?"
On this day, Zhou Yang, who had just been promoted to the eighth level of foundation building, was suddenly called out of the retreat room by Chen Pingan, and then heard him say these words with a confused look on his face.
After hearing Chen Ping'an's words, his mind was spinning with thoughts. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he understood something. A mysterious smile appeared on his face and he said: "Since Master Zhang said this, it must be true.
Senior Chen just needs to pass on his orders!"
When Chen Ping'an saw him like this, he frowned slightly and said with an unhappy expression: "Young Daoist Zhou seems to know what Master Zhang means, but for some reason he doesn't want to tell Chen? Don't you still believe Chen?"
Zhou Yang heard the words and quickly shook his head and said: "Senior Chen misunderstood, this junior definitely did not want to hide Senior Chen's intention, but this junior is just guessing now and does not dare to make a conclusion, in case the meaning of Zhang Zhang is different from what this junior thinks.
, if the junior says it now, wouldn’t it be misleading the senior!”
"Okay, since that's the case, then Chen will convey Master Zhang's intention!"
Chen Ping'an looked at Zhou Yang deeply and nodded, but did not pursue the matter further.
But after Zhou Yang waited for Chen Ping'an to leave, he looked at the white hump with piercing eyes and murmured to himself: "Is Senior Cao finally ready to take action? I wonder how much strength he has recovered now!"
Jiang Yuyan is still in seclusion refining the "heretic elixir", and it will take at least half a year before she can leave seclusion. This is something Zhang Yunpeng has said in several replies.
Therefore, Zhou Yang knew that except for Cao Wenjin, who had been hiding in the cave for seclusion since seizing the body, even if Zhang Yunpeng came in person, he did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to break the siege of the White Camelback.
As long as Cao Wenjin takes action, even if his cultivation has not yet returned to the Golden Core stage, he will definitely not be able to match the two loose cultivators from Zifu and Luo Yunqing.
At this time, Luo Yunqing did not know that Cao Wenjin, who he had always thought was seriously injured and would never recover, had actually seized the body and had the power to take action.
He was overjoyed because two loose cultivators from Zifu came to help.
"The two Taoist friends are willing to come to help. Luo is very grateful. Please rest assured that as long as the white hump is broken, the Chen family's treasure house and the treasures of the monks on the mountain will be allowed to be selected by the two Taoist friends.
!”
Outside the White Hump, Luo Yunqing looked at the two Zifu monks who were invited to help out, Tiezhang Weng and Cangyun Sou, and made a promise on the spot with a happy face.
Although the Iron Staff Old Man and Cangyun Old Man are only at the fourth level of the Purple Mansion, they have been famous for many years and their skills are quite strong.
If the two of them join forces, Luo Yunqing will have to pay for it if he fights against him, and most likely he will be defeated and retreat after fighting for a period of time.
With the addition of these two new forces, the White Camelback's mountain-protecting formation will no longer be able to sustain itself.
"Fellow Daoist Luo is really happy, so I and I will thank you first."
The white-haired Iron Stick Man and Cangyun Old Man looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.
The two of them agreed to come to help at this time. They originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Now that they saw Luo Yunqing being so "good", they were certainly satisfied.
Next, Luo Yunqing first asked all his monks to rest for two days to recuperate their spirits and restore their mana.
Two days later, under the leadership of three Zifu monks, dozens of foundation-building monks and thousands of Qi-training monks pressed towards the white camel hump.
"Here we come! Whether we live or die, it all depends on this battle!"
On the white hump, Chen Ping'an looked at a large sword light flying in the sky, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious.
The outcome of this battle will determine the future fate of their Chen family.
They have no way out!
There was nothing to say in the scene, and Luo Yunqing had been tired of saying it all this year, so when he came outside the White Camel Peak, he directly used several magic weapons to hit the shield formed by the mountain guard formation.
When the Iron Staff Man and Cangyun Old Man saw this, they also smiled sinisterly on their faces, and each took out their magical weapons and joined the attack array.
When the three Zifu monks took action together, the formation shield covering the entire white hump suddenly began to shake violently.
After the monks in the foundation building stage and the Qi training stage also joined the attack array, the formation shield was attacked by thousands of spells and magical weapons, but it only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour before only a shallow layer was left.
"It's no longer possible, the formation won't be able to hold on any longer!"
As the controller of the formation, Chen Ping'an's face turned red from holding back too much pressure because the mountain-protecting formation was on the verge of collapse.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the formation is, the higher the cultivation requirements for the people in the main formation.
If the cultivation level of the people in the main formation is not worthy of the level of the formation, then when the formation is attacked by a powerful enemy, even if the formation shield is not broken, the people in the main formation will easily be unable to withstand the backlash of the formation.
The power falls.
It is said that for formations of level five or above, powerful magic weapons can be used to suppress the formation and replace monks.
However, the magic weapon that can suppress the formation must be at least a fifth-level magic weapon, and it cannot be just one or two.
"Keep it up, Senior Chen, keep it up. Leader Zhang will never lie to us on such a big matter. People who support us should be here soon!"
While Zhou Yang was inputting mana into the formation to maintain the formation's shield, he loudly sent a message to Chen Pingan to encourage him.
At this point, they can only believe Zhang Yunpeng.
After persisting like this for another half-quarter of an hour, something changed finally happened!
A flash of sword light was seen, and a golden sword light suddenly flew from the direction behind Luo Yunqing and others.
As soon as the golden sword light appeared, it went straight towards Luo Yunqing and other three Zifu monks.
"Where did this strange Zifu monk come from!"
Luo Yunqing looked at the golden sword light with a look of astonishment, wondering about the origin of the unusually young monk in the sword light.
Judging from the aura, the aura emitted by the owner of the golden sword light is enough to reach the fifth level of the Zi Mansion.
A monk from Zifu with such a cultivation level and such a young face should not have any impression on him.
But just when he was doubting, the golden sword light stopped in mid-air, and then an old voice came from it that made him almost drop the flying sword: "Luo Yunqing, do you still recognize me?"
"Cao... old ghost Cao, you are old ghost Cao!"
Luo Yunqing exclaimed with his tongue trembling, and then without saying a word, he immediately put away the magic weapon and fled out of the battlefield.
The fear deep in his heart prevented him from even thinking about taking action against Cao Wenjin, even if his cultivation level seemed to be higher than Cao Wenjin's.
How could Cao Wenjin let this traitor go so easily, even if he had to use his fifth-level flying sword to kill the traitor.
But at this moment, Zhou Yang's voice suddenly sounded from the white hump.
"Senior Cao is keeping someone under his sword. This person's head has already been ordered by me. I would like to ask you to let this person live a few more years!"
Cao Wenjin also heard about Zhou Yang's Dao Heart Oath. When he heard Zhou Yang's words, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned his sword light and killed the two loose cultivators from Zifu.
Tiezhang Weng and Cang Yunsou were already scared to death after hearing that Luo Yunqing revealed Cao Wenjin's identity.
When they saw Cao Wenjin abandoning Luo Yunqing, the traitor, and coming towards them, the two of them were frightened to death and quickly fled away from the battlefield, without any thought of fighting Cao Wenjin.
But if they want to escape, they have to see if Cao Wenjin will give them permission.
"snort!"
The iron stick man who was running for his life suddenly heard a cold and biting snort in his mind, and then a stinging pain rose from his soul in Zifu. The pain was so painful that he couldn't help but hug his head and let out a miserable cry.
Call.
Then, before he could recover from the pain that came directly from the depths of his soul, a sharp golden sword light cut through the protection of his magical weapons and spells, and chopped off his head on the spot.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of the old man Cangyun, he immediately had no doubt about Cao Wenjin's identity. Then the old man immediately knelt down in the air without any spine, kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Senior Cao, please spare your life, I wish this junior
Surrender, I am willing to surrender, but please forgive me, senior..."
The golden sword light cut through the sky, instantly interrupting Cangyun Sou's begging for mercy.
Cao Wenjin expressed his attitude with practical actions.
