"I, the Lichen Sect, have raised these white-eyed wolves for thousands of years."
Looking at the letter talisman he got from Zhuang Wudao in his hand, Sikong Hong gritted his teeth: "If our Lichen Sect can drive back those demons this time, I, Sikong Hong, will definitely let these
There is no place for them south of the Zangxuan River."
"Junior brother is so courageous"
The third senior sister Feng Xue, who was not far away, was smiling and high-fiving her hands. She seemed to be appreciative, but she had no sincerity: "Sweep all these garbage out of the southeast. Not even Grandmaster Xuan Xiao can do this. Junior Brother, if you can
If it is done, the memorial tablet will be able to enter the Patriarch Hall in the future and be respected by all my disciples in Lichen forever."
"You, hum"
Sikong Hong groaned and was speechless. His words just now were just words of anger. How could it really be possible?
South of the Zangxuan River, in terms of geographical scope, it is not inferior to the Central Plains, but most of it is deep in the mountains and desolate forests, where monsters and beasts are rampant.
The Lichen Sect only controls the most prosperous places in the southeast. The rest of the peripheral places are all in the hands of some small sects, scattered here and there, and there are more than 200 large and small countries.
The power of these small sects is extremely small, and they are vulnerable to the Lichen Sect. Compared with Dongquan Yishan, they are far behind - these two sects have only one Yuan Shen, but both have the Golden Core Realm.
Thirty or forty people can easily surround and kill two or three Yuan Shen realms.
But once these people form a joint force, they cannot be underestimated. Even the Lichen Sect needs to be wary of them.
The reason why the Yishan Sect can still survive to this day and has not been destroyed is that firstly, it is because Taiping Dao and Moxiu have been continuously entangled, and it has been unable to concentrate on its efforts. Secondly, the demise of Dongquan has aroused the vigilance of these forces and secretly joined forces.
Containment prevents Lichen from attacking Yishan. Thirdly, he colludes with the Three Saints Sect and the Demonic Way to make Lichen throw himself into a trap.
Lichen Sect was nominally the leader of the southeastern sect and had the authority to give orders to these sects. However, it was during the Xuanxiao era that the southeastern sects were subdued and Lichen became their sect. After Xuanxiao's death, Lichen's
The influence of these forces is getting worse from generation to generation.
By the time of the Skyfall Island disaster a thousand years ago, there were so many sects that they didn't even bother to do superficial work.
Zhuang Wudao also shook his head. Although he knew that these vassal sects might not obey Li Chen's order to kill demons, he did not expect that the situation would be so bad.
No matter how you say it, the Li Chen Sect has gained momentum recently, retreating to Taiping, occupying the East China Sea, and the number of real people in the Yuanshen Realm has increased to six.
In this southeastern land, a lot of momentum should be restored to some extent, but the reality is frustrating.
Even within the fleet, the disciples of Li Chen's sect were also unsettled and restless.
Zhuang Wudao could hear it. At this time, not far from the Ziwu Xuanyang ship, there were more than a dozen groups of people quietly gathering together. They seemed to be discussing Taoist cultivators, but in fact they were talking about the relationship with demon cultivators.
war.
"How stupid are these real people to join forces with the three demonic sects? It is said that there are twenty-seven Yuanshen monks alone. With such a powerful force, our sect dares to take the initiative to fight without sticking to Lichen Mountain?"
"Isn't it because of the disciples of the aristocratic families in the sect? Those demonic cultivators had no choice but to attack me, Li Chen, so they attacked these aristocratic cultivating families. A while ago, these people were begging and making noise every day in Lichen Mountain. It's a shame that a few real people actually
I have no opinion and just listen to what they say——"
"I think this time, we are probably going to lose. In addition to the three demon sects, there are more than ten demon sects, including the Three Immortals of the Red Spirit. There are probably no less than a thousand golden elixir monks."
"Actually, our sect only needs to be patient and wait until Uncle Wudao reaches the realm of Yuanshen. We can sweep away the demonic atmosphere and sweep across all directions, just like Patriarch Xuan Xiao did six thousand years ago. Why do we need to take such risks?"
"Actually, there is nothing we can do. In the past few days, our sect has lost five golden elixirs. Lichen really cannot afford to spend them. We can't just watch the demonic cultivators plunder and throw all the hundreds of southeastern countries to the three demonic sects."
"I don't think we will definitely lose. I, Li Chen, also have ten Yuanshen monks on my side. The Ziwu Xuanyang ship and nearly 300 spirit bone treasure ships, at best, it will be a lose-lose situation for both sides."
It has to be said that those secret disciples of the Lichen Sect who know the details are pretty tight-lipped. Yunfa, Yun Lingyue, Zhufa and Yuan Bai are still only some people on the top level of Lichen and within a small area.
Only then can we know.
The real number of Yuanshen is fourteen, not ten as these disciples thought. However, this is also a source of worry for the lower-level disciples.
Zhuang Wudao was also a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that his fellow disciples thought so highly of him.
"Humph, I, Li Chen, seem to be powerful, but in fact I am too powerful. If I were the leader of the Moyan Sect, I would have at least a hundred ways to divert the Ziwu Xuanyang ship and sink it, and annihilate all the Yuan Shen monks of my sect."
"In my opinion, it is best for you to make plans early."
"The sect treats me well, and we are willing to die for Lichen. However, if we know that we will die and force ourselves to do so, please forgive me, Jingzhou, for not accompanying me. I never want to die in vain among those demon cultivators because of the stupidity of those few real people.
In hand."
Zhuang Wudao's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, but he immediately shook his head and ignored it. In these days, he had heard similar words too many times.
These people use the method of sound barrier to talk, thinking that they are secretive. But for those who are not good at magic, Zhuang Wudao's spiritual thoughts can easily penetrate the loopholes and sense the words of these people.
And even for a person who is highly accomplished in magic and acts more cautiously, under the observation of his 'Chongming World Observation Pupil', all his words will be invisible.
Chongming's Guanshi pupil can see through and see through formations, so to be precise, he was not 'listening' just now, but 'seeing'. Just by looking at the fluctuation of the sound pattern, he could tell what these people were talking about.
'Look, there are too many, and Zhuang Wudao is too lazy to get angry. In fact, he is not much better off in a different place. After all, no matter from which aspect, the Lichen Sect has little chance of winning. He, Zhuang Wudao,
, most likely because they want to find another way out. Just because their wish is not fulfilled and they don’t want to die in a vain battle.
This was after the subordinate forces under Li Chen's wings arrived one after another. Hundreds of golden elixirs and two hundred spirit bone treasure ships boosted the Li Chen Sect's momentum and somewhat stabilized some people's hearts.
Before the fleet set off from Mount Lichen, the people at the bottom were in more chaos than at this moment.
Fortunately, all the countries under Li Chen's rule are quite obedient, and no one dares to refuse. After all, if Li Chen is dead, this is the royal family of the country, and the nest is overturned, and no eggs are left intact.
※※※※
The fleet traveled 140,000 miles to the north, and the Lichen Sect's military strength had reached its peak. There were a total of 350 spirit bone treasure ships, plus the flying warships of other sects, a total of 450 ships
So huge.
There are nine hundred Golden elixir monks, a total of thirty-one thousand Foundation-building monks, and a hundred thousand Qi-training monks—all of them are in the late stage of Qi-training state, and none of them are qualified to participate in this battle.
The gathered combat power even exceeded the expectations of Jiefa and several real people. The flying geese formation spread out for thousands of miles, with a majestic momentum that seemed to sweep across the mountains and rivers.
However, after approaching Jiangnan Dao Palace and meeting San Fa and Xuan An, the speed of the fleet began to slow down, and the spirit bone treasure ships also began to diverge.
The fleet began to move horizontally, and every five thousand miles, a large formation of the Kun Boundless Wanji Nan Ming Capital Heaven would be set up.
A set of 'frontal and reverse two-dimensional infinite sky array', with three spiritual bone treasure ships, is a universe infinite array. Within each array, there are eight to ten golden elixir guards, all of whom are left behind.
There are one or two Lichen Sect's unique demon-discriminating tools, Ziwu Yuanmu, to sense the traces of demon cultivators.
These formations, together with the capitals of the countries along the Zangxuan River, formed a tight defense line that could withstand the infiltration impact of demonic cultivators.
The Lichen Sect's purpose is to set up defenses before the three demonic sects take action, and with the help of formations, they can strictly defend themselves on the south bank of the Zangxuan River.
This prevents the northern demonic cultivators from going south in large numbers and entering the southeastern region. Even if they forcefully break through, they will suffer huge damage.
This method seems a bit stupid, but it is also a helpless move. The southeast area is vast, and those demon cultivators do not need to fight head-on with the Li Chen Sect. They only need to sneak into the southeast and kill people and set fires everywhere, which is enough to make the Li Chen Sect exhausted and exhausted.
This line of defense does not need to be airtight, it only needs to be able to block large groups of demonic cultivators. Although Li Chen is marching north this time, the territory is not completely empty.
Every Taoist palace is guarded by at least ten golden elixirs. And all the countries under the rule also leave at least one golden elixir monk to suppress their own countries. As long as small chaos does not matter, major chaos will not occur.
The Lichen Sect moved very quickly. In just five or six days, a total of seventeen Kun Boundless Infinite Formations were deployed, so that the front line of defense from the Jiangnan Dao Palace to the Immortal Celestial City in the west was roughly formed.
Between the formations, the earth veins are connected and echo each other. On the south side of the Zangxuan River, a whole purple-red light belt is formed, with a powerful momentum. The earth veins are connected, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.
within the scope covered by the law.
As long as they fight in this area, the monks on Lichen's side can receive the blessing of the formation.
Dutian Divine Thunder, Nanming Lihuo, and Nine-Heaven Magnetic Light Meridian can all increase their power by twice as much. An outstanding golden elixir monk can even challenge the Yuan Shen.
However, those demonic cultivators also reacted at this time, and the Lichen Sect's subsequent formation could no longer be smooth sailing.
