The effect of the Forbidden Breaking Bead disappeared, the power of the "Nine-Sect Heavenly Demon Array" was partially restored, and the aura of the light red light curtain became a little brighter again.
"Rumble"
Each piece of magic weapon and magical power still falls on the light red light shield, and the formation still trembles slightly.
However, the waves on the light red mask are far less than before, which is far from the ideal effect.
In this case, it is almost impossible to break the formation and attack the city in a short time.
Realizing this situation, the faces of Guo Poyun, Zhuo Mengzhen and others also changed and became as dark as water.
At the same time, the other monks who were attacking the formation were doing the same.
"This formation is as immovable as a mountain. Can we really break through this formation before the reinforcements of the demon cultivators arrive?"
Thinking of this, many monks began to feel despair in their hearts.
They continued to attack in silence, but they didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"It's really a bit difficult to handle."
"Are we really going to start a life of hiding?"
Liu Yu looked gloomy as this thought flashed through his mind.
Just as he was about to greet Zhuo Mengzhen, Guo Poyun and the others and continue to the next formation node, they suddenly heard several bells ringing in succession.
"Dong dong dong~"
Amidst the continuous roar of magic weapons and spells, several loud bells suddenly broke in, causing many monks who were constantly attacking to move.
According to the prior agreement, when this kind of bell rings, it has only one meaning - to retreat the troops.
Among the approximately one hundred and sixty Jindan monks, nearly one-third are close followers of the Zhang family, or have a close relationship with the Zhang family.
Hearing the sound of the bell, more than forty monks immediately stopped what they were doing and turned into escaping light and returned in the direction of the three spiritual ships.
"Every moment of delay increases the risk."
"Zhang Tao ordered Jin to withdraw his troops at this time. Could it be that he wanted to give up this operation?"
This thought flashed through the minds of many monks, and their faces immediately became extremely ugly.
Once this kind of thing starts, is there any way out?
However, the matter has come to this. Without the Zhang family as the main force, they would not be able to continue the operation at all.
Therefore, after a little hesitation, he turned into a escaping light and headed back towards the three spiritual ships.
Liu Yu was clearly aware of this, so he did not hesitate at all. The moment the bell rang, he changed direction and led the remaining six people in his team to fly towards the Dingnan.
"tread"
After an explosive flight, in just a few breaths, the seven people fell on the deck.
Then a number of Jindan monks landed on the deck one after another.
While waiting for Zhang Tao's explanation, he had already taken out the spirit stones to restore his mana. Although the time it took to attack the formation was only about two-quarters of an hour, the intense attack consumed a lot of mana.
In this situation, only by keeping the mana in the Dantian full at all times can we have greater confidence in surviving. All the monks did not waste this precious time.
"Tap tap tap"
The sound of footsteps hitting the ground sounded one after another.
After a while, the deck of the Dingnan was filled with people, and all the monks gathered here.
"Elder Tianling has not sent any more news. I wonder what the situation is over there? Are we at an advantage or at a disadvantage?"
"This "Nine Heavenly Demon Array" is indeed a bit tricky."
Looking at the light red screen in the distance, Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with worry, but his face showed a confident look.
As a commander-in-chief, he naturally cannot express his worries easily. If he showed lack of confidence, wouldn't the morale of the army be even more shaken?
"But judging from the fact that we have been attacking Lingwu City for so long and have not yet been affected by the fourth-order demon king, the elders at least have not fallen into a disadvantage."
This thought swirled in his mind.
Immediately, Zhang Tao turned his eyes, looked at the monks with different expressions on the deck, and said slowly:
"Fellow Taoists, don't worry. After all, the "Nine-Sect Heavenly Demon Formation" is a fourth-level mid-level specialized defense formation. How can it be a vain name?"
"Being able to achieve this level at present has already met Lao Cao's prior expectations."
"Fellow Taoists, please rest assured that the Zhang family has prepared several means specifically to restrain this formation."
"It's not convenient to say anything at this time, but I believe that my fellow Taoists will not be disappointed."
"Everything is still under control!"
The old and confident voice spread throughout the entire deck and reached every monk's ears clearly.
"Still under control?"
"So, the Zhang family still has some methods that they haven't used yet?"
Beside Liu Yu, a monk murmured.
Hearing that there was still hope, the monk who was already a little desperate, his eyes gradually regained some sparkle, and hope began to rise again in his heart.
The Jindan monks present were all imprisoned for various reasons and lived a life worse than that of ordinary mortals.
The long or short life of prisoners made these monks extremely sensitive, often easily worried about gains and losses, and easily affected by the situation and environment.
After all, the gap between freedom and death is too great, and not all monks can accept it calmly.
Drowning people always try their best to grab the life-saving straw.
At this time, they heard that the Zhang family still had some means that they had not yet resorted to. Although Zhang Tao did not elaborate, they were still willing to believe it instinctively.
If you don’t believe it, wouldn’t it be more despairing?!
"Fellow Taoists, don't worry, I'm old."
Seeing the reactions of many monks present, Zhang Tao immediately smiled and continued to boost morale.
Fei Hengfei drew "big cakes" for many monks present. He longed for freedom and focused on describing the beauty of freedom.
For example, after conquering Lingwu City and then going to freedom, you will have enough time to visit the great rivers and mountains of the Central Region and experience various exotic customs and beauties.
For the monks who are eager to take a step closer to the path, they solemnly express that the Zhang family's previous promises will never be reneged on or compromised in the slightest, and the promised spiritual objects will definitely be every bit as much.
Zhang Tao's tone was unpleasant and unpleasant, and his words were full of sincerity.
After some rhetoric, it did have a good effect, and many monks regained their fighting spirit.
The atmosphere in the venue was finally no longer as cold and depressing as before.
"Every monk who wants to continue to climb up will encounter difficulties every step of the way."
"To a certain extent, in this cruel and dark world of immortality, there is indeed a need for "big cake"."
Among the crowd, Liu Yu smiled slightly and looked at this familiar scene quietly.
After becoming an elder of the sect, he seemed to have said similar words to many of his disciples.
In just a dozen breaths, Zhang Tao said whatever these comrades wanted, which effectively boosted their morale.
Looking at the people who had regained their fighting spirit, he nodded secretly in his heart.
Immediately, Zhang Ziping and Kong Lingxiu reorganized their manpower into teams and made corresponding arrangements for the demon cultivator's current defense strategy.
Zhang Tao, on the other hand, met a famous monk in the cabin.
Watching some unknown and ordinary-looking monks enter the cabin and communicate with the Zhang family's "general manager", many monks had curiosity flashing in their eyes, but they didn't ask any more questions.
"Looking at this situation, it seems that Zhang Tao wants to "prescribe the right medicine"."
Liu Yu looked thoughtful as he watched the monks entering the cabin one after another to talk.
His keen spiritual sense allowed him to clearly sense that the invited monks were not simple. Although he had no reputation in the circle of Jindan monks and acted in a low-key manner, his strength was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary monks.
This kind of monk has a very clear understanding of his own strength and what he needs, so it is difficult to be moved by the "painting cake" rhetoric.
To a certain extent, Liu Yu is this kind of monk.
Since time is tight, we must not waste it too much.
Therefore, each communication did not last too long, usually lasting more than ten breaths.
Soon, a seemingly ordinary and low-key monk slowly walked out of the cabin.
"Fellow Taoist from the ancient city, please come in and have a chat!"
And in Liu Yu's ears, Zhang Tao's voice sounded as loud as a bell,
With a flash of consciousness, he nodded slightly towards Zhuo Mengzhen and Guo Poyun, and walked towards the cabin.
"tread"
Steady footsteps sounded, and under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, Liu Yu strode towards the cabin, and her figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Anyone who can cultivate the golden elixir is certainly not a stupid person, and everyone is well aware of Zhang Tao's intention of inviting him to see him alone.
"Is there something special about this person?"
Looking at the figure disappearing into the cabin, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhong Jindan's eyes, but no matter what the facts were, their impression of Liu Yu deepened a lot.
This burly monk in black robes seemed to have a hint of mystery and mystery in his movements at this moment.
But the monks who knew Liu Yu's strength and had seen him take action with his own eyes took it for granted.
For example, Zhuo Mengzhen, Guo Poyun, and the four new teammates who joined later.
…
After entering the cabin and walking for more than ten steps, Liu Yu saw Zhang Tao sitting upright in an antique small room.
"Fellow Taoist from the ancient city."
"please."
Zhang Tao first made a gesture of invitation, then immediately spoke and said seriously:
"Time is running out, so I'll keep my story short. If what I say next is abrupt, please don't take offense, fellow Taoist."
"As the "Emissary of Tiannan", fellow Taoist from the ancient city has traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the Central Region. He must be strong enough to be ranked among the real people."
"I hope that in the next siege battle, Taoist friends from the ancient city can lead a team to attack one of the nine key nodes of the formation with all their strength."
The situation was special. At this time, neither party was in the mood to have a long conversation over tea. Naturally, Liu Yu would not stick to these small details. After sitting down, she quietly listened to the other party's speech.
Hearing this, he immediately frowned and remained silent without speaking immediately.
There is a temporary truce between the Nascent Soul Lord and the fourth-level demon king. Although they are currently missing, they are definitely watching the happenings in Lingwu City somewhere.
If you come forward in this situation, it is likely to attract the attention of the demon king and lead to unpredictable consequences.
This was inconsistent with Liu Yu's long-standing principles, and he was very disgusted with acting in such a high profile.
Unless you add money!
At the risk of being targeted by the Demon King, just one "Ningying Dan" is not enough, you must add some other treasures.
Seeing that no matter how much he tried to show his emotions and reason, Liu Yu seemed to be indifferent, Zhang Tao frowned and then relaxed his brows, and could only say helplessly:
"I believe fellow Taoists from the ancient city have also seen the situation at this time. It is very critical!"
"This is not only a matter of the Zhang family, but also related to fellow Taoist's path to Daqian. I sincerely ask fellow Taoist to take full action!"
"As long as fellow Taoist can destroy a key node, it will be regarded as playing an important role. At that time, the old man will give the "Ningying Pill" to him."
He paused after saying this, and saw that Liu Yu was still unmoved. Due to time constraints, he could only continue to increase the weight:
"Besides this, if fellow Taoists from the ancient city have other conditions, they can also raise them as appropriate at this time."
After hearing this, Liu Yudang sat upright and said with a serious face:
"Fellow Taoist Zhang Tao's words are reasonable. The elimination of the "Nine Heavenly Demon Formation" concerns every fellow Taoist and all monks. Gu is naturally bound to do so."
Seeing that the other party was sincere in regressing at first, he immediately agreed with the other party's point of view, looking very much in agreement.
Then the conversation changed and he continued:
"To be honest, Gu is actually a third-level alchemist."
"Only due to my short-sightedness, alchemy has encountered a bottleneck recently, and there has been no progress for many years."
"Therefore, I have a gracious request. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhang can lend me a third-level recipe for refining the divine elixir so that Gu can have a look at it."
Liu Yu tried to slow down her tone to make it look like she was not taking advantage of others.
However, he had no intention of giving in on this issue.
After all, you have to risk your life!
Risk and return must be directly proportional, otherwise what is the point of taking risks?!
The recipe for the third-level god-refining elixir is indeed extremely rare, and to some extent, its value is even more than that of the "Ningying Dan".
If you have spirit stones, you may be able to buy the elixir for refining the gods.
But the elixir for refining the gods is like a hen that keeps laying eggs, which can continuously create value in a steady stream.
In addition, the spiritual herbs and spiritual materials for refining spiritual elixirs are scarce, and one more monk knows the elixir recipe, which makes collecting the spiritual materials for refining the elixir extremely difficult.
Therefore, the value of high-level elixir recipes, especially those for refining elixirs, is often much higher than that of magic weapons and spiritual objects of the same level.
The holder will not sell it easily unless absolutely necessary.
However, a prescription is always a prescription. In fact, it has no value in itself. The Zhang family only needs to make a copy, and the loss will not be big if they don't leak it.
Moreover, given the size of the Zhang family, there may be far more than one kind of third-level god-refining elixir recipe.
"Third-level god-refining elixir recipe?"
Zhang Tao frowned, then relaxed his brows, thought for a moment and said slowly:
"Could it be that fellow Taoist is also a master of alchemy?"
"Since fellow Taoist is a master of alchemy, he should be able to understand the preciousness of the formula for refining the divine elixir."
"But for the sake of fellow Taoist "Tiannan Envoy" in the ancient city, I can make a decision and make a copy for fellow Taoist afterwards."
Once a spiritual object for refining gods reaches a high level, its value will increase dozens or hundreds of times.
After all, the further the immortal cultivator reaches, the more important it is to cultivate the soul.
If the Yuanshen is not strong enough, it will be difficult to make any progress in the realm of Yuanying, let alone transform from Yuanying into a real "Yuanshen".
And one step ahead, step by step, the strength of many monks who come from big forces has widened the gap with ordinary monks as early as the first few realms.
For monks with no background to cultivate to the realm of golden elixir, this is the final opportunity to make up for their shortcomings, so the competition for refining spiritual objects is naturally very fierce.
