Chiyin City's response was faster than Zhuang Wudao expected. At noon on the second day, Master Hongde had already appeared in the Mausoleum of the Great Su Emperor.
This real person of Yuanshen has always been sitting at the junction of Lichen Chiyin City, which is very close to here. And his escape method is unparalleled. It is said that if this real person does not hesitate to lose his vitality and goes back and forth between Lichen Mountain and Chiyin City, he will only be able to escape. It only takes five or six days.
However, after appearing in the Mausoleum of the Great Su Emperor, Hong De did not enter the formation, but went straight below the fifth floor. It took a full half an hour before he returned again and entered the Infinite Formation of the Forward and Backward Instruments.
"It's really these two corpse kings of Eclipse and Biluo."
Master Hongde's eyes were full of surprise: "There is indeed another layer below the nine layers."
In short, it is confirmed that there is a cave of immortal Taoists under the Great Suhuang Mausoleum.
"If we were not sure, we, Zhuguang Tower, would not make such a big bet rashly."
Wang Yanxi sat upright in the formation and said calmly: "I don't know what your plan is for Chiyin City?"
"What's the plan?"
Master Hongde sneered and said without hesitation: "Of course I want to step in and share some of the benefits. My intention in Chiyin City is that even if this place is destroyed, Qian Tianzong cannot succeed. The three families can join forces, but one Chiyin City needs to keep 40% of what we get, and the rest will be divided equally between the two families."
The implication was that there was no room for refutation. Zhuang Wudao's brows twitched and he smiled without saying a word. If it were him and Wang Yanxi who were negotiating the price, they might not be able to negotiate even two cents.
"Is this, Fellow Daoist Hongde, going too far?"
Master Yuanqi snorted coldly: "This time, our Zhuguang Tower only invested 11,000 fourth-order Yun Yuan in advance. In addition to the two of us, fellow Taoist Xuan Shuangzi will also arrive soon. Could it be that Master Yuanqi is here soon?" Do you want to open your mouth and take 40% of the harvest?"
"Eleven thousand fourth-order Yunyuan?"
Master Hongde laughed dumbly, and then said in a tone that clearly did not want to be entangled, "Okay, that treasure of the Immortal Taoist, worth less than 13,000 pieces, will belong to your Zhuguanglou family to make up for the loss of your family's value. If it exceeds 13,000 coins, it will be divided among three families."
Master Yuanqi was about to speak again, but Master Hongde shook his head and pointed to the north: "Except for me, Chiyin City, no one in the world can compete with the Qiantian Sect in this southern land."
Then he pointed at the Thunder Fire Warrior beside him: "Wulichen Sect's Qiankun Boundless Wuji Nanmingdutian Formation is not enough to resist the enemy's attack and suppress the casual cultivators."
Master Yuan Qi was immediately speechless. Before he could organize a verbal counterattack, Wang Yanxi waved his sleeves again, indicating that Yuan Qi did not need to argue anymore.
"Such a division means that Chiyin City can only get 30% at most. The remaining 10% can be used to comfort the casualties of each family after the incident."
"make a deal"
Mr. Hongde answered Yu Jian, he was always asking for the price, waiting for the other party to pay back the money. The share ratio negotiated now is the best.
"The night is long and there are many dreams, but things will change later. We need to fight as quickly as possible here. I don't know what you are planning to do?"
"Both of us are waiting for Fellow Taoist Lichen to arrive."
Wang Yanxi is also resolute and decisive, and has no sloppy temper: "With the support of this great formation of the positive and negative two-dimensional infinite sky, if we attack the ninth floor, we should have a 90% chance of winning."
Upon hearing this, Master Hongde glanced at Zhuang Wudao and nodded with a smile. It showed both appreciation and gratitude, but also a sense of kindness and intimacy. However, there was still a bit of questioning in his words.
"Ninety percent? I'm afraid that's too optimistic. Since it's an immortal Taoist cave, there are more than three corpse kings here. I heard that his subordinates are headed by the Red Flame Corpse King, who has entered the late fourth level.
.When he was at his peak, his combat power was not much inferior to that of the Immortal Taoist."
For Wang Yanxi to wait for the Lichen Sect's people to arrive, Hongde Zhenren has no meaning. With the blessing of the positive and negative rituals of the Wuliang Dutian Formation, the Yuanshen monks of the Lichen Sect can be used as three or four people here.
.
Even if the positive and negative ritual array here is expanded to its limit, only two earth veins can be included in the array.
"It doesn't matter. I heard that when the Immortal Taoist was here, the Red Flame Corpse King only had five hundred years left to live. It must have been extinct by now, so there is no need to worry."
Master Yuanqi didn't care, and Master Hongde was relieved when he heard this.
The Corpse King's longevity means that the time he can exist in this world is much longer than that of a monk.
Evil corpses at the early stage of the fourth level can survive for at least three thousand years, six thousand years in the middle stage, and nine thousand years in the late stage of the fourth stage.
When the Immortal Taoist subdued the Red Flame Corpse King, this Corpse King was already famous in the south. Occupying a 30,000-mile stretch of underground caves, he was the most unwilling being to provoke in the cultivation world. Calculating carefully, this corpse king
The Red Flame Corpse King should indeed be annihilated at this time.
The body of a corpse is immortal, but the soul cannot always be in the world.
After the matter was settled, the smile returned to Hong De's face, and he exchanged greetings with Yuan Qi and Wang Yanxi and started talking.
The three of them are all Yuanshen monks, and they live not far from where they practice, so they already have a lot of friendship.
But before he said a few words, Master Hongde moved slightly and looked east again: "This is Qian Tianzong Li Chongxin, he came so quickly."
Master Yuan Qi also looked livid: "Two days ago, my disciple wrote back saying that this person was still in the capital of Daling Kingdom discussing scriptures and Taoism with several masters of the Tiandao Alliance."
In other words, including the one-day time it took for the talisman to be delivered, Li Chongxin probably only needed three days to reach here across a territory of 600,000 miles.
Hongde couldn't help but look at each other and Wang Yanxi, both seeing the sadness and determination in the other's eyes.
The current situation cannot be delayed any longer
Hong De only pondered for a moment before speaking: "My junior brothers Zi Yan and Junior Brother Mu Jiuchen will arrive within two days at the latest."
Wang Yanxi also said in a condensed voice: "Xuan Shuangzi is already on the way, it only takes seventeen hours."
After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at Zhuang Wudao in unison. At this moment, there was only Li Chen's family, and there was no sign of Yuanshen.
Zhuang Wudao couldn't help but be dumbfounded. How could he know where the real Yuanshen disciples in his sect were at this moment?
But before I could speak, I heard a voice not far away: "I've arrived."
After appearing, it was none other than Sanfa Zhenren, walking slowly like a car through the green poisonous mist. There was another person following him, but she was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Zhuang Wudao looked at him for a moment, and saw that the person coming was none other than Nie Xianling, with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes, a dignified expression, and a slight smile on his lips, walking slowly like a weak willow supporting the wind.
However, Zhuang Wudao's attention was immediately attracted by the words of Master Sanfa.
"Besides me, there is also Taoist fellow Taoist Li Xuan'an. He will also be here in two days at most."
Taoist Xuan'an is the new Yuanshen Keqing who joined Li Chen Sect, and is also the current secret disciple of Li Chen's outer sect.
Zhuang Wudao had met him twice before and had some words with him. Although this man had an aloof temperament, he was quite nice and amiable to him.
"So, we can take action in two days?"
"I hope so-"
Zhuang Wudao did not listen carefully, but was thinking about the corpse general that had not yet been traced. He had been in the imperial mausoleum for two days, but he had already found the approximate location of the third-level corpse general. Unfortunately,
I have never had the opportunity to contact him.
But from the current situation, it seems that the possibility of him coming into contact with this evil corpse is getting smaller and smaller.
※※※※
In the following time, Zhuang Wudao continued to expand the formation in addition to Wei Zechen and others. He spent most of the time talking to Nie Xianling.
The strangest thing for him now is that Sanfa and Nie Xianling were clearly in the East China Sea, why did they come here again?
According to Zhuang Wudao's estimate, it would take three days at the earliest for Li Chen and the other Yuanshen Masters to arrive. However, it only took less than one day for Sanfa Masters to arrive.
“Of course I came here for the Yibao Conference”
Nie Xianling had a slight smile on her lips and explained to Zhuang Wudao: "Actually, Master and I have already arrived, it's just that Master didn't let Xian Ling contact him. Senior brother wouldn't think that Master Jie is really worried about you coming alone.
Come to Taileiji? At least before the fall of Yishan Sect, senior brother could not imagine being free. These days, master is actually three thousand miles away. It is just because he was worried about Zhuguang Tower that he did not take the initiative to get closer to investigate."
Zhuang Wudao couldn't help but be speechless. What Nie Xianling said made him inexplicably frustrated. But it was also true. Before the fall of Yishan Sect, Lichen Sect would not allow him to make any mistakes.
Even if something unexpected happened to Zhuang Wudao, it would be after the Yishan Sect was destroyed.
"So you're on your own?"
Zhuang Wudao decided to ignore his unhappiness and asked curiously: "As far as I know, Haitao Tower has been in good shape so far. Are you planning to show mercy?"
The Haitao Tower is not only in good condition, but its business has expanded a lot recently, which is quite surprising.
With Nie Xianling's current status, even if he cannot destroy Haitao Tower, he can still give this business alliance a big blow.
Especially a few years ago, after Taipingdao retreated and Lichen gained momentum.
"It's not that I haven't tried it, but Master once said that there may be demonic cultivators involved in Haitao Tower, and there is nothing we can do for the time being.
Nie Xianling raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Even the treasures hidden in my house have not been taken out yet. Are you worried about Xianling?"
Zhuang Wudao curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "I'm just worried that you can't pay back the debt."
Nie Xianling couldn't help laughing, "Pfft", smiled, and then said quietly: "I told Master that it would be better for me to resolve the matter with Haitao Tower by myself. I wonder, Senior Brother, do you think I am willful?"
Zhuang Wudao was surprised, then shook his head and said: "It's up to you."
He had had similar thoughts before, so he could understand Nie Xianling's thoughts. If the Taiping Road had not gone south, he would not have wanted to involve outside forces from the sect between the father and son.
Afterwards, the two of them talked, and the most discussed topic was practice. According to Sanfa Zhenren’s intention, Nie Xianling was going to use the three sect-suppressing techniques “Nine Heavens Magnetic Light Ziwu Dafa”, “Shangxiao Yingyuan Cave True Royal Thunder”
"True Dharma", fellow practitioners of "Nanming Jidu Liehuo Shenjue",
And this is unprecedented in the Lichen Sect. After all, the three spiritual roots of earth, wood, and fire are needed at the same time, and practicing too many techniques will distract your energy.
