This area is located deep in the middle zone of the Tai'a Mountains, only a hundred miles away from the core area. The surrounding trees are more lush than those outside, and there is a lot of mist in the forest.
The shade of trees that blocks the sun and the humid and poisonous mist prevent the sun from reaching the sky even at noon. Even a master, or even a great master martial artist, would be in trouble if no one guides the way.
After all, in addition to the dangerous mountains, this place is full of poisonous insects and strange beasts.
Crisis is never confined to one place…
But at this time, deep in the sea of dark green trees surrounded by milky white mountain miasma, there were light black palaces.
The latter is quietly located deep in this mountain range.
There is a light green city wall more than ten feet high built around the palace, with strips of light red vine branches hanging on it.
Small, trumpet-shaped flowers the size of a palm grow on it.
From time to time, insects, birds and beasts approach, and the trumpet-shaped mouth of the flower suddenly opens, revealing sharp teeth.
Then these foreign debris were steadily eaten by these delicate trumpet flowers.
At this time, there is a black hall in the center, with some colorful flowers and fruit trees planted around it to harmonize the color.
Inside the palace, there are no twists and turns, but a spacious main hall.
The floor is paved with black and white, spiral-like floor tiles, and giant stone pillars stand among them, with strange golden animal heads hanging on them.
The flickering flames rose in it, and bursts of fragrance, as light as sandalwood or sweet-scented osmanthus, escaped from the firelight.
At the smallest place of the black and white spiral, that is, at the very center of the palace, there is a crescent-shaped black round table.
There are a total of five light black tall seats inside and outside the crescent moon.
Among them, there is only one on the inside of the crescent moon. The seat is high and backed by a stone screen. There is a three-foot-long green tree inside the screen.
There are fruits as green as babies hanging on the branches.
Under the numerous fruits, a person was sitting in the tall seat.
He has red hair, wears armor that looks like a red beetle shell, and has a look of determination on his face.
But at this moment, his brows were furrowed, showing that he was currently in an uneasy state of mind.
He is the current sect leader of Fengling Sect, Gui Feng and Wang Yulin, the real number one person in this Fengling world.
Outside the crescent moon, there are four seats, and there are three people sitting there at this time.
These three people are a beautiful woman wearing a long pink gauze dress with fair skin and holding a white jade bottle; a dark-faced peasant man wearing coarse linen clothes; and a middle-aged man wearing a purple-green Pixiu costume.
Among the three, the woman is the daughter of the head of the Lu clan, one of the four hermit clans. She is now the young clan leader of the Lu family, and is known as Lu Xiangrong, known as Bilu Youying.
The black-faced peasant man was his husband-in-law, and he married into the Lu clan and became the powerful hero Kuang Lei Xiu Yuanbo in Yizhou.
As for the middle-aged man in purple and green clothing, his name is Shangguan Yu. He is a mountain warrior in the Tai'a Mountains directly under the supervision of Zhou Mu. He is in charge of the affairs of the Tai'a Mountains and forests. He has a group of forest troops under his command, and his power is not weak.
However, in the past, he had always been aloof from other things. Apart from cleaning up the beast tide and being enshrined by the four hidden forces, he did not do anything.
Now that the power in the Tai'a Mountains has suffered a major change, it is natural that it cannot sit still. After all, in its position, the first priority is to maintain stability.
Only the stable Tai'a Mountains is what he wants, because only in this way can a steady stream of yam spiritual products be sent to various places in Yizhou and even to prominent places further away every year.
"Sir Shangguan, how long will it take for the masters from the imperial court to arrive?... During this period, although we have retreated step by step, we can still barely breathe. Once the Lingtai Demon Sect calms down, we will probably launch a general attack.
By then, I am afraid that among the three sects, no one of us will be able to stop it alone."
Inside the crescent moon, the master of the Fengling Sect, Gui Feng Wang Yulin, was sitting on the seat, looking at the person on the left, and spoke softly.
Lu Xiangrong and Uncle Xiu Yuan, who were sitting across from each other, did not say anything when they heard this, but looked at Shangguan Yu together.
During this period, many changes occurred in the Taia Mountains.
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the Blood Demon Blood Hand of the Hundred Evils of the Photo Studio, who teamed up with Zihu Evil Boy Datou and others to destroy the Moon Shadow Sect in Luofeng Mountain, and truly began to suppress all major forces wantonly, with the potential to occupy the entire Tai'a Mountains.
Unexpectedly, Lingtai Sect, one of the three major Buddhist traditions in Chi County, would suddenly appear in the Tai'a Mountains.
Many of the eminent monks seemed to really dislike his style and established Buddhist temples in various places to compete with the latter.
From the perspective of ordinary martial artists, this is a good thing. After all, with the style of the photo studio, once it becomes big, they will definitely have no good juice to eat.
As one of the three major branches of Buddhism, Lingtai Sect has had an excellent reputation since ancient times and is regarded as a top-notch sect. It would be great to be able to take action for this.
But in the eyes of Wang Yulin, Lu Xiangrong and others, they finally figured out who was behind the photo studio.
It is precisely because of this that they feel chilled and horrified.
Yes, in their eyes, the photo studio and the Lingtai Sect are clearly one and the same.
The difference is that the former is indiscriminate and just for profit, wiping out the major native forces in the Tai'a Mountains, while the latter holds the Buddha's bowl to help the world, and waits until the former is done to finish, not only occupying the entire Tai'a Mountains, but also gaining a good reputation.
It's similar to one playing bad side and the other playing bad side.
It can be called extremely insidious and cunning.
And it's not that they didn't send people to secretly publicize this matter, it was just that as soon as it was spread, it was immediately eliminated, which was completely useless.
It is precisely because of this that they have made the decision to retreat step by step from the major settlements in the Tai'a Mountains, and the top leaders have disappeared without any resistance.
But now, the situation is almost worse than they imagined.
Among the major settlements, one party controls the underworld, and the other controls the white path. With both black and white taking control, the Lingtai Demon Sect is almost on the verge of firmly controlling the Tai'a Mountains.
The most direct manifestation is that the daily sales of the shops they opened in those settlements and the daily collection of spiritual objects have almost halved.
And the leaders and masters in the photo studio that they were focused on were gradually becoming more and more secretive during this period.
Gives people a bad association.
"Lingtai Demon Sect...this...we have no evidence to prove that it is on the same side as the photo studio. We can only say that this is the worst result." Shangguan Yu placed his hands on the armrests and involuntarily exerted force on his knuckles, frowning.
.
"No evidence? Lord Shangguan sent envoys several times in succession, wanting to meet with the Lingtai Sect and ask them to take action to kill and subdue the Hundred Evil Blood Demon Blood Hands and others, but every time he was pushed left and right and refused to reply directly?
As for the so-called martial arts showdown between the Lingtai Sect and the Photo Studio in that settlement, it is even more ridiculous.
When fighting against us, the former used all kinds of dirty tricks. When fighting against the Lingtai Demon Sect, he just hit me once, and I hit you once. Before the fight started, he said, "Master, please be careful. Do you think it's okay?"
Lu Xiangrong sneered.
"..." Shangguan Yu didn't know how to reply.
To be honest, he really didn't want to fight with the Lingtai Sect or that person within the sect.
Others may not have a clear understanding of that person's true strength, but as a member of the public sect, he has more diverse intelligence sources, but he knows that,
The Buddha head on the spiritual platform looks young, but his martial arts skills are unfathomable and imply that he is invincible.
When he went to Yiping City to report on his duties, he had a drink with some senior officials in the state government. Someone at the table joked that this person would most likely be among the top twenty in Yizhou in terms of martial arts.
And with his talent and talents, it is not impossible to enter the top ten in the state in the future.
He really didn't want to face such a shocking and fierce person, and because he was so small-minded, he was bound to retaliate.
"Some things happened in the state capital during this period, but in half a month at the latest, a big shot will come over. Then I will come to the door together. After the photo studio, whether it is the Lingtai Sect or not, everything will be settled.
." Shangguan Yu was silent for a few breaths before speaking out.
"Big deal... Sir Shangguan, are you referring to the Sirius Army?"
Shangguan Yu did not respond, but continued:
"Since the power of one sect is unable to resist during this period, then the three of you can gather together and use the strength of everyone to survive this period of time."
As soon as these words came out, no one said anything.
Really fell into silence.
Only the green jade tree branches behind the screen were blown by the wind, and the leaves swayed, making a rustling sound.
It seems great to gather together in one place, but where should we gather them?
No one wants their property to be stolen.
"This needs to be discussed." Finally, as a landlord, Wang Yulin spoke slowly, looked at the empty seats, and suddenly said:
"That guy from Nandan said he would arrive later, why not?"
"Maybe it's because he's afraid. This guy is very timid. When he sees something bad, he hides in his poisonous valley and doesn't dare to go out." Lu Xiangrong answered.
"As for the matter of gathering and uniting, we can wait until he comes to discuss it?" The woman brushed her fine hair from her forehead with her bare hands, looked at Shangguan Yu, and said warmly.
"This... that... we can talk about it now."
At this time, a young man in green shirt suddenly appeared at the door, carrying a suitcase and cage on his back. He walked slowly to the center of the hall, looking at everyone with a sneer on his face.
Then he sat on the empty seat.
The woman who originally wanted to delay the decision couldn't help but her expression froze, "Come on, come on, we can talk now." She was a little embarrassed when she was caught saying bad things about people behind their backs.
Shangguan Yu didn't care about this and said immediately:
"It's good to come. What you said makes sense. Instead of being defeated individually, it's better to gather together and defend together. I think among the three of you, the one with the strongest foundation belongs to Yaowang Valley. So Na Na will lead his respective disciples to settle in Yaowang Valley and quietly
It will be in half a month."
He is standing directly from the most objective perspective.
But when the others heard this, their eyes looked different. Even Nandan, who had just arrived, was a little confused and had a complicated look on his face.
"You forget your life when you see small profits, and you cherish your life when you do big things. The lessons learned from the Yueying Sect are still there. Don't you still understand the principle of people being here, and people being dead?" Shangguan Yu frowned when he saw this, and endured.
He couldn't help but said angrily.
"What Lord Shangguan said is absolutely true. The Lingtai Demon Sect is so powerful that it will be difficult for our family to resist it even with the help of geographical advantages."
Seeing this, the other four people finally nodded, and Wang Yulin sighed softly.
Some of their dead men went to Luofeng Mountain after the incident and risked their lives to get information. They found that the towering and steep Luofeng Mountain had been photographed directly off the top of the mountain.
The power of this series is truly terrifying.
"Well, the Little Poison Doctor's Medicine King Valley does have some skills in the Snake Cave and the Poison Flower Formation. I will be waiting for you, and everyone will work together, and Sir Shangguan will take charge of the overall situation.
Even if the head of the Lingtai Demon Sect, the Demon Buddha, is in front of us, we can still fight!" Lu Xiangrong said coldly with a stern and unyielding look on his charming face.
When Nandan heard this, he hesitated to speak. He moved around as if he was restless.
"Old Poison Doctor, you will have to arrange a few places at that time. I will have a lot of followers." Wang Yulin also said with a smile.
Nandan laughed a few times and said nothing.
"Brother Nandan is responsible for this matter." Uncle Kuang Lei Xiu Yuan was the most polite and polite, and said in a deep voice.
But the former still smiled and nodded, his eyes drifting to the door.
"By the way, Miracle Doctor Nandan, what do you think?" At this time, Shangguan Yu suddenly said.
This is a procedural inquiry.
"I think..." Nandan quickly turned his head when he heard this, thinking deeply, and then slowly said:
"If I feel like it, there is no need for us to resist, to be honest. In fact, it might be better to surrender earlier...
After all, I don’t think resistance is useful…”
"Since everyone agrees, then let's just... huh??" Shangguan Yu said halfway when he suddenly froze, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the young man in green shirt in front of him.
"Zhu Nandan, what did you just say?!"
He never expected that the other party would say such stupid things
"Yes, old poison doctor, what do you mean? Surrender? Do you think the other party will treat me well?"
"Old poison doctor, I think you poisoned yourself and made yourself confused!" Lu Xiangrong and others also changed their expressions.
"No... no, I just want to find a way out for everyone. Don't you know what we really need to face?" Zhu Nandan was still a little entangled at first, but as he spoke, he became more and more confident.
He had a look of reverence on his face, "Let me tell you the truth, behind the photo studio is indeed the head of the Lingtai Buddha, Master Qingliang.
The master has a kind heart. As long as we surrender and cooperate well, nothing will happen. And we can’t say for sure. This is a good thing, because I have secret information.
Master Qingliang of the Lingtai Sect has achieved great success not long ago. Even if he can dominate the world in the future, it will not be difficult for generations to come. In these troubled times, it is a good thing to have this support?"
Everyone listened and did not interrupt him, but their eyes became colder and colder.
"It seems that you, old poison doctor, have really made a decision." Wang Yulin sighed softly, moving his body, his red armor clanking.
"Sir Shangguan should know by now that we did not say anything wrong, right? So now, sir, are you still hesitating?" He rolled his eyes and looked at Shangguan Yu, who had a complicated look on his side.
"I...I know, I will send a message with Feng Yi, send more experts, and speed up, try to arrive within seven days..." Shangguan Yu also sighed softly.
"Thank you, Sir Shangguan." Wang Yulin bowed slightly, and then looked at the old poison doctor Zhu Nandan beside him:
"Seven days? Or..."
"It's still a little too long."
Suddenly, the crescent moon darkened the table, the light and shadow began to blur, the air suddenly twisted into a vortex, a foot stretched out from it, and stepped on it.
"I thought we could solve it together today...I didn't expect that I would have to wait another seven days..."
The person who came was wearing a black cassock with gold thread, and had smooth black hair shawl. He raised his head, and the light just fell on his face. It was a pale face with sharp edges.
The deep pupils were indifferent, and the pupils split into magatama shapes and slowly rotated.
