The sinister change in the situation forced Zhou Yang and other Nascent Soul monks to reunite again.
And this time, almost all the remaining Nascent Soul stage monks in Beitingzhou's Immortal Cultivation World were summoned.
The place where all the cultivators gather is called Tianchi Mountain, which is the gate of Xue Chan Palace, a major sect in the world of cultivators in Beitingzhou.
Speaking of Snow Toad Palace, there is also a story between Zhou Yang.
When he was in [Kunxu Realm], a golden elixir female cultivator from the Snow Toad Palace used him and Jiang Fengxian to deal with a strange ice toad that was guarding the rare spiritual object [Ice Crystal Snow Lotus]. Afterwards, she crossed the river and demolished the bridge in order to swallow the spiritual object for herself.
As a result, he was killed by his superior skills.
At that time, he also collected a secret treasure inherited from the Snow Toad Palace from his hands, a jade toad that could extract [Moon Toad True Blood] from the corpse of a different species of ice toad.
Unfortunately, because Jiang Fengxian was imprisoned by the Goddess Palace, the [Moon Toad True Blood] and [Cold Jade True Marrow] originally used to prepare the life-extending treasure [Taiyin Spiritual Liquid] were all used by Lou Feifeng, the master of the Goddess Palace.
.
Except for Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian, no third party knows about this experience, and hundreds of years have passed.
At this time, after he arrived at Snow Toad Palace, when he thought of this matter, he just sighed in his heart that things are impermanent, and did not think about it any more.
Because many Nascent Soul Stage monks are located at different distances from the Snow Toad Palace, the time for the monks to arrive here also varies.
Zhou Yang and Guo Huaiyang were among the first people to come here.
Two days after the two of them arrived, Xu Tianlin and Zhenren Qingyang arrived here.
Including Shen Menglong, who was the first to arrive here after a lucky escape from the ice city, and the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Liuyun Continent who are still in the Immortal Cultivation World of Beiting Continent.
When the five people got together, it was inevitable that they would talk about the fall of Ice City.
"Hey! The Eighteenth Master went to Beiting, but within a short period of time, only five of us were left. Every time Xu thinks about this these days, he feels extremely regretful!"
"If... if Xu could be tougher on that day and let a few more fellow Taoists go out of the city to slay the demons, it wouldn't... and it wouldn't cause everyone except fellow Taoist Shen to be buried in a foreign land!"
Xu Tianlin slapped his thighs with regret on his face, blaming himself for the fall of Bingcheng.
Zhou Yang looked at the man's complexion, as if he had aged a hundred years overnight, and his energy and spirit had deteriorated to the extreme. It was obvious that the man had felt extremely unhappy in the days after receiving the news.
He did understand Xu Tianlin's mood. This time he assisted the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World. Xu Tianlin was elected as the person in charge by the major forces in the Liuyun Continent Cultivation World. This was a very beneficial thing for him.
As long as he successfully helps the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World to eliminate the demonic disaster, as the person in charge of the reinforcements of the Liuyun Continent Cultivation World, Xu Tianlin will accumulate great reputation in the two major Cultivation Worlds and take over the power of the [Liuyun Merchant Alliance] in the future.
No more problems.
But now, what he needs to face is not only the plummeting of his reputation, but also the matter of how to deal with the forces of those fallen Nascent Soul monks after returning to the immortal world of Liuyun Continent.
Nascent Soul stage monks are like pillars of the sect to any force. The loss of any one will lead to a reduction in the sect's strength.
The number of Yuanying monks who were lost in the Beiting Continent’s Immortal Cultivation World this time has reached one-tenth of the total number of Yuanying Stage monks in the Liuyun Continent’s Immortal Cultivation World.
With such huge battle damage, no matter what reasons Xu Tianlin had, as the person in charge, he could not escape being held accountable.
Zhou Yang even believed that if Xu Tianlin didn't have hundreds of years left to live, and if his cultivation status wasn't at the top of the [Liuyun Merchant Alliance], the other party would probably have thought of dying in battle right now.
If Xu Tianlin, who was the person in charge, also died in the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World, then other forces would naturally no longer be able to accuse him. Instead, they would list him as a hero in publicity.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, there is no need to blame yourself too much. Life and death are determined by fate. We all know that it was Daoist Ning and others who chose to stay in the Ice City. If we want to blame them, we can only blame those demon cultivators for being too cunning, and the enemy's hidden strength. powerful!"
Guo Huaiyang opened his mouth and comforted Xu Tianlin in a very low voice, but his confidence was somewhat lacking.
But with him taking the lead to speak out, Zhou Yang and others could easily follow suit.
I saw Shen Menglong nodding his head at that time: "Fellow Daoist Guo is right. The biggest reason for the fall of Ice City is that all of us seriously underestimated the true strength of the [Sky Corpse Master]. If it hadn't been for that battle Among them, the strength he displayed far exceeds the previous intelligence knowledge. Even if we lose the protection of the city protection formation, most of our fellow Taoists will not be able to escape and die in his hands!"
"Speaking of this, Fellow Daoist Shen might as well tell me the details of that day. I also want to know what powerful means [Master Tianzhi] hides, which can actually cause us such great losses!"
Master Qingyang looked at Shen Menglong with a solemn expression and said.
Hearing him ask about this, Shen Menglong couldn't help showing a hint of fear in his eyes. After a while, he said with an ugly face: "It's the incarnation of the body and the secret technique of true magic. Then [Master Tianzhi] 】It turns out that there is also a zombie clone that has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. This clone is invincible when wearing sixth-level magic armor, and it is difficult to kill it with any magic weapon or magical power."
"Furthermore, there is a secret technique of the magic eye in this magic practice. As long as it is illuminated by the magic light released by the magic eye, even if the Nascent Soul that has left the body performs the teleportation technique, the teleportation will be forcibly interrupted and the teleportation ability will be temporarily lost. .”
"At the same time, this demon also possesses a magical power of transformation, which can transform into a monster with three heads and six arms. After transformation, not only does the magic power increase a lot, but it also gains extremely powerful physical defense and recovery capabilities, and it can also perform several strange and unheard-of magic ways. Supernatural powers!”
Transform into a monster with three heads and six arms?
After Zhou Yang heard Shen Menglong's words, he couldn't help but look at him, but he thought of the demon corpse that he had refined after being trapped by the [Fire Dragon Cover] in the demon city that day.
At that time, before dying, the demon corpse also transformed into a three-headed and six-armed monster, thus gaining power far beyond what it originally possessed.
Now it seems that the magical power of transformation of the demon corpse should be the same kind of magical power of transformation mastered by "Master Tianzhi".
Not only did he think of this, Master Qingyang, who had been with him that day, also quickly remembered this matter. When he looked at him for confirmation, he said: "I remember the demon corpse refined by fellow Taoist Zhou during the battle in Demon City. It seems that he finally displayed his magical power of transformation with three heads and six arms."
"Yes, that demonic corpse did display its magical power of transformation that day with three heads and six arms."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly and confirmed this matter.
Seeing this, Master Qingyang immediately said: "Then Daoyou Shen and Daoyou Zhou might as well tell each other about the magical powers and spells of the three-headed and six-armed monsters they have seen, so that if we encounter such monsters again in the future, we can be prepared to deal with them in advance. .”
Of course, Zhou Yang and Shen Menglong would not refuse such a request, and they immediately explained the magical powers and spells of the three-headed and six-armed monster they had seen.
Unknowingly, the topic turned away from Xu Tianlin, and no one mentioned the matter of taking responsibility again.
After another seven days passed like this, more than 80% of the Nascent Soul monks who were in the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World gathered at the mountain gate of Snow Toad Palace.
The total number of these Nascent Soul monks has reached fifty-one!
It is a pity that among the fifty-one Yuanying monks, only six have reached the late Yuanying stage, including Xu Tianlin and Guo Huaiyang, two late Yuanying monks from the immortal world of Liuyun Continent.
Among the remaining Yuanying monks, 70% are in the early stage of Yuanying, and only 30%, less than fifteen, have reached the middle stage of Yuanying.
Before the demonic disaster occurred, the number of Yuanying monks in the Beitingzhou Immortal World alone exceeded 60, including five late Yuanying monks.
From this we can see how serious the damage caused by this demonic disaster to the Immortal Cultivation World in Beitingzhou.
"Fellow Taoists, this time Nie summoned all the fellow Taoists to gather here. I think you all know what you want to do."
"In the Battle of Ice City, eight comrades, nearly a hundred Golden Core cultivators, thousands of Purple Mansion, and Foundation Establishment cultivators were brutally massacred by demonic cultivators. This caused our side to suffer the most painful defeat since the beginning of the war, and it also made our side finally stabilized. The situation has turned upside down again.”
"Now that the Holy Demon clone in the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss has obtained a large number of corpses of high-level monks as blood sacrifices, it will definitely begin to try to condense the body of the real demon. Once it succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous."
"So fellow Taoists, at this time of life and death, the safety of the entire Beitingzhou Immortal Realm, and even the safety of the entire Linghuan Realm, is already tied to us!"
"Once we choose to retreat and flee, the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm will definitely become a demonic realm, and the Linghuan Realm will be invaded by the real demonic realm again. Where can we retreat to? Where can we escape to? Where?"
"Nie is incompetent. He has been defeated at the hands of demon cultivators many times. He has been tricked by demon cultivators many times. He has caused many fellow Taoists to lose their lives at the hands of demon cultivators. He has no shame in leading fellow Taoists."
"But this time, Nie still has the audacity to ask all fellow Taoists to trust Nie one more time, and work together with Nie to fight against the demon realm and the demons again for the safety of the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm, for the safety of the Linghuan Realm! "
…
Fifty-one Nascent Soul cultivators gathered together in the main hall of the Xue Chan Palace, which was used to discuss important matters. Nie Yushuang stood at the top, looking at the cultivators below with a solemn expression as they talked about starting a war.
This time, he summoned almost all the Nascent Soul monks in the Immortal Cultivation World of Beiting Continent with only one purpose, which was to go straight to Huanglong and enter the Demon Realm, and fight to the death with the demons.
In fact, this is indeed an opportunity. The holy demon clone must be busy condensing the body of the real demon at the moment, unable to move lightly, let alone leaving the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss.
In order to ensure its success, "Master Tianzhi" and other Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivators must all gather in the Demon Realm to protect and protect it.
If you miss this opportunity, it will be impossible to catch all these demonic cultivators in one fell swoop.
However, with the disastrous result of the previous expedition to the Demon Realm in front of him, Nie Yushuang brought it up again this time, but not many monks responded.
There was even a seventh-level Nascent Soul monk who was born in the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm and said directly: "We all understand what Fellow Daoist Nie just said. If we didn't have the determination to fight against the demons, we wouldn't respond today.
The call from Taoist friends comes here."
"I'm just sorry to say it bluntly. Although there are many Nascent Soul monks gathered here today, based on the number of Nascent Soul cultivators gathered here today, if we want to defeat the demons and wipe out the demon realm, we have little hope!"
"And if we are defeated again, then the situation will be truly dangerous and irreversible!"
Zhou Yang glanced at the monk who made the noise, and soon based on the information he had read these days, he recognized that the person who made the noise was the great elder of the "Piaoxue Palace", a top sect in the world of immortality in Beitingzhou.
, the name is "Feixue Zhenren".
The strength of the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World is already at the bottom level among all the major Cultivation Worlds. This "Master Feixue" is among the top people in the Beiting Continent Cultivation World besides Nie Yushuang.
It can be said that he has ulterior motives for coming out and saying such things at this time!
Nie Yushuang was calm. After listening to the words of "Master Feixue", she said calmly without changing her face: "How can Nie not know the concerns of Taoist Feixue? But time waits for no time, and the Holy Demon clone has not been condensed yet.
With the body of a real demon, we still have some chances to stop it when we have an absolute numerical advantage."
"But if we continue to wait until it successfully condenses the body of a true demon, let alone there are only fifty of us. Even if the number of people doubles or triples, we will have no chance of winning!"
After finishing his words, he glanced at "Master Feixue" meaningfully, and said in a deep voice: "If we fight to the death, we still have a chance of winning. If we just sit back and wait for death, waiting for the holy demon clone to condense into the body of a real demon, we will wait.
I’m afraid my whole family will have to flee the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of "Master Feixue" and all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm present changed drastically.
In addition to Zhou Yang and other Liuyun Continent monks from the Immortal Cultivation World, who among the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Beiting Continent who are here today do not have their own sect and family behind them?
If they escape from the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World, they may be able to escape safely to other Immortal Cultivation Worlds relying on their cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage.
But it is hard to say about their descendants, relatives, disciples and disciples.
Moreover, in the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World, they are the masters of a force, with thousands of monks supporting them.
But once they escape from the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World, they will become rootless cultivators, and it will be difficult for them to obtain a sixth-level cave where they can practice.
And just like Nie Yushuang said before, once the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm is completely reduced to a demonic realm, and once the real demon world invades the "Linghuan Realm" again, what will they do even if they escape from the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm now?
Who doesn’t understand that no eggs are left intact when a nest is overturned?
The "Master Feixue" stopped talking at that time and lowered his head in deep thought.
He didn't speak, but someone stood up and spoke.
I saw a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk from Beitingzhou Immortal Realm stand up, cupped his hands towards Nie Yushuang, and asked in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Nie, more than two months ago, Friend Daoist said that he had contacted Senior Chongyang, and now he has passed
It has been so long. With Senior Chongyang’s cultivation level, no matter how late he is, he should have arrived at the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Nie has the latest news about his old man?"
Hearing this, Nie Yushuang couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook her head and said: "Senior Chongyang's immortal trace is hard to find. He just rushed to the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World. If he doesn't take the initiative to show up, no one will be able to discover his whereabouts."
If he could contact [Master Chongyang] Du Chongyang, there would be no need for him to reason with the cultivators here. He could directly use the other party's name to issue a decree and order the cultivators to launch a counterattack against the Demon Realm.
In fact, all cultivators know this truth. When the person asked about this, he just had a trace of luck in his heart and was unwilling to give up this hope easily.
So even though Nie Yushuang's answer was disappointing, the monk who spoke out still said: "Since Senior Chongyang promised to come to the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm to deal with the holy demon clone, he will definitely not break his promise. I suggest that I wait a little longer."
Well, I think that even if the Holy Demon clone has begun to condense the body of the real Demon, it will not be achieved in a short time!"
"Of course Mr. Nie knows the importance of Senior Chongyang, but the problem now is that we don't know when Senior Chongyang will show up, let alone how long it will take for the Holy Demon clone to condense into the body of a real demon."
Nie Yushuang said this with a bitter look on her face. She couldn't help but shake her head. She looked at the monk who made the noise and said with sharp eyes: "Fellow Taoist Tang said wait, how long do you have to wait? Ten days? One month? Or three months, or even
Half a year!"
"Fellow Daoist Nie is right. Even if we have to wait, we can't wait here any longer. Instead, we should wait outside the Demon Realm first. You must know that there are still two or three months to go from here to that Demon Realm.
!”
"In two or three months, Senior Chongyang will arrive at the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm no matter what. By then, we will be waiting outside the Demon Realm to welcome the arrival of the Immortal!"
Xu Tianlin suddenly stood up and echoed Nie Yushuang's words in a loud voice.
He glanced at all the cultivators in the hall and said in a serious tone: "Fellow Taoists, this time Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World is in trouble due to demonic cultivators. As soon as our Liuyun Continent Cultivation World received the distress message, we organized eighteen Nascent Souls
The monks and dozens of golden elixir monks came to the rescue, but after a series of fierce battles, only Xu and five others are left here!"
"Even under such circumstances, we have not given up yet. You fellow Taoists were born in Beiting, grew up in Beiting, and your families and sects are all in Beiting. Aren't you as determined to protect your land as we are from other places?"
"Xu's words may be unpleasant, but fellow Taoists, if you think about it carefully, if you really run away without a fight this time, what will other fellow cultivators in the world of immortality think of you when they learn about this? Who would dare to talk to you again?
Do you want to meet each other?"
Quiet!
Xu Tianlin's merciless words made many people from the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World in the hall lower their gazes, not daring to look at him.
This time, after the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World asked for help from all the major Cultivation Worlds, the Liuyun Continent Cultivation World was the fastest to respond, and the fastest to arrive with reinforcements. It was also the only Cultivation World to successfully send reinforcements.
But the fate of this only arriving supporting force was seen by all the cultivators present.
Therefore, although Xu Tianlin's words were quite unpleasant, they did not save any face for the cultivators present, and none of the many cultivators in Beitingzhou had the confidence to stand up and refute.
What's more, although Xu Tianlin's words are unpleasant, they are also true.
Although the inter-immortal world teleportation array that connects the Beitingzhou Immortal World to other Immortal Worlds has been destroyed, it is not too difficult to get some news out.
Therefore, if they dare to escape without a fight, the news will definitely not be concealed, and it will definitely be known to other people in the immortal world.
At that time, as Xu Tianlin said, facing these "deserters" who are unwilling to protect their hometown, other major forces in the world of immortality will certainly not dare to accept them into their own sects and families, even if they do not refuse their entry.
It just so happens that the major spiritual mountain blessed lands and cultivation resources in all the major immortal cultivation circles are now in the hands of those powerful local forces.
If they cannot join those big forces after escaping to other realms of cultivation, their path will be almost completely cut off. This price is not small for some Nascent Soul cultivators who still hope to make progress!
"Since Fellow Daoist Xu has spoken to this extent, I have no shame to say anything more. I have practiced cultivation for more than 1,700 years and have lived enough. Rather than bear the infamy for a lifetime and live for another thousand years, it is better to fight with those demons.
Got it!"
A second-level Nascent Soul monk from the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm suddenly stood up from the ground and stated his decision in a firm voice.
With him taking the lead, other people with the same ideas will have a lot less burden.
I saw a silver-haired third-level Nascent Soul monk who immediately stood up and shouted: "Chi has been practicing for two thousand years and has never left Beiting in his life. Are he going to leave Beiting this time as a coward and a deserter? Jue
impossible!"
"He's friends and three disciples who have known each other for eight hundred years were all killed at the hands of demon cultivators. If this revenge is not avenged, how can He have the face to stand in the world again!"
A middle-aged man with white hair stood up and expressed his feelings in a cold voice.
After the man finished speaking, another cold and charming female cultivator exuding an icy air stood up and responded: "Although I am a female prostitute, I also know the principle of leaving one's home base. If I don't fight this time,
Wouldn't it be even more despicable to run away? I have been practicing hard for thousands of years, and I am surrounded by ice, snow and frost all day long. I don't want to spend the rest of my life surrounded by the curses of thousands of people!"
In this way, one after another Yuanying monks stood up and expressed their own reasons to express their fighting intentions, and soon more people joined them.
In the end, thirty-two of the forty-six Nascent Soul monks from the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm in the hall stood up and issued a declaration of decisive battle.
Every time one of them spoke out, the look of joy on Nie Yushuang's face became more intense.
When no one said anything, Nie Yushuang's face was filled with a happy smile.
He first smiled and bowed his hands to these monks who spoke out, thanking these people for their support.
Then the smile on his face faded, and he looked solemnly at the remaining monks who had not spoken a word and asked: "Fellow Daoist Feixue, Fellow Daoist Jackdaw, you have all heard what you just said, and now you are the only ones left.
The fourteen fellow Taoists have not expressed their stance yet, do you really want to escape without a fight?"
The faces of "Zhenren Feixue" and others were naturally very ugly at this time. They did not say anything, but in fact they had already expressed their opinions.
But they didn't expect that at this time, there would be so many Nascent Soul cultivators who were willing to fight to the death with Nie Yushuang.
Now the fourteen of them were facing the gazes of monks of the same level who were twice their size, and the pressure in their hearts was not as great as usual.
"What does Fellow Daoist Nie mean by this? Could it be that if we don't want to join you, you will take action against us?"
"Master Feixue"'s face changed again and again, but finally he gritted his teeth, looked at Nie Yushuang coldly and said what was in his heart.
They really wanted to escape without a fight!
Nie Yushuang's face turned cold immediately, her eyes flashed with cold light as she looked at "Master Feixue", and she opened her mouth to curse.
But before he could curse, a loud and majestic voice like thunder suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Who wants to escape without a fight? Du wants to see which bastard dares to be so bold!"
