After getting rid of Yu Qing's pursuit, Lu Zhong did not dare to delay at all and rushed towards the sect.
As a member of the Heling Sect, he has the obligation and responsibility to report the fall of the Xiaoyuan Valley Mine to the sect. Otherwise, if he is traced afterwards, he will be punished with several years of hard labor at least.
As for hiding and waiting for the war to end, unless you have the idea of leaving the sect, it is extremely unwise.
Less than half a day after leaving, Lu Zhong saw a fleet coming through the sky.
There are ten large airships in total, and the three spirit unity seals on the hulls are shining brightly. According to the consistent configuration plan of Heling Sect, each large airship should have a foundation-building monk on board. If the accompanying high-level and low-level disciples are fully equipped, then
The entire fleet has nearly a thousand people at least, and can be regarded as a partial force.
After some thought, he thought it would be better to show up proactively.
Take out a spiritual firework, add a trace of spiritual power and activate it.
"Bang!" A gorgeous firework exploded.
The fleet responded quickly and sent out a flying boat to pick up Lu Zhong.
The foundation-building cultivators who were in charge of this flying boat were Lin Zheng and Uncle Lin, whom he had met once before. His strange appearance with red hair and long beard, coupled with the contrasting characteristics of a good old man, it is difficult not to impress people.
On the flying boat, Lu Zhong told everything that happened in the Xiao Yuangu Mine in detail, except that he concealed the process of discovering Yu Qing's identity, and mentioned the existence of the weird parasitism technique and the fact that she often made her laugh inexplicably.
The situation was also described in detail.
Lin Zhenghe listened, his expression no longer calm at first, and finally said with a wry smile: "Master Nephew Lu, you met Chen Jiangnu, the saint of the Black Corpse Hall. If you can escape from her, you are very lucky...
…”
As he spoke, he pondered for a while, glanced at Lu Zhong, and then continued: "If you go back to Heling Mountain now, you will inevitably be sent to the front line as cannon fodder. Your master is kind to me... Well, you will follow me there first.
Xiaoyuan Valley, after the mine is recaptured, the result will be almost decided at Jufeng Pass, and it won’t be too late to return to Lingshan by then.”
"Thank you, uncle!" Lu Zhong saluted respectfully.
But I secretly thought that becoming a disciple has such benefits.
The speed of the flying boat was not comparable to that of the second-order red-tailed eagle, but it was still no problem if it exceeded the speed of a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, in just two hours, the fleet had already flown over Xiaoyuan Valley.
At this moment, there are still Heling Sect disciples resisting in the valley, and bursts of spiritual light can burst out from time to time.
But anyone can see at a glance that this is the end of the last ditch effort.
Fortunately, their persistence is not meaningless.
Seeing such an incoming fleet, the scattered coalition forces of Jinhong Sect and Luoyun Sect immediately sent out warning fireworks and took immediate response actions.
As for the coalition forces, they also have a very good understanding of Heling Sect's fleet organization.
This time they raided the Xiaoyuan Valley Mine, and were led by only two foundation-building monks. They only wanted to deal with the leaderless Heling Sect mine defense force, and were no match for the Heling Sect's reinforcements.
Therefore, the coalition forces retreated without hesitation.
Lu Zhong was assigned the task of blocking.
What a coincidence was that the place he was responsible for blocking was the entrance to the cave before.
Returning to my old place can only be described as a mixed feeling.
Cooperating with him in blocking the attack, there were three other inner disciples who were in the late stage of Qi refining, and there were thirty outer disciples waiting further away, who could come forward to support at any time.
From here, we can see the difference between the Heling Sect and the two sects' coalition.
Sitting in the huge Yongling City, the Heling Sect's financial and human resources are massive, and can easily crush the Jinhong Sect or the Luoyun Sect. In the face of such a huge gap, the two sects have to join forces to fight.
With the sharp weapon of divine consciousness, Lu Zhong can easily monitor the mine tunnels.
After waiting for a while, the target soon appeared.
They are three swordsmanship disciples of the Jinhong Sect carrying sword boxes on their backs.
Judging from the large and small bags they were carrying, they all carried at least three storage bags. It must have been that they harvested a lot of property during the robbery of the Xiaoyuan Valley Mine.
Situations like this are rare opportunities to make a fortune, and Lu Zhong has no intention of hiding his strength.
Taking the lead, he got ahead of the others and attacked the three people who had just walked out of the cave.
Taking into account the gap in swordsmanship between the two sides, Lu Zhong gave up his plan to use the Golden Sword, and instead directly activated the Wutu Ruimu Spirit Ring, at the cost of 10% of his mana.
"Buzz!"
The sharp wooden spear suddenly thrust out, forming a sharp beam of light.
With a puff, it directly penetrated the person who could not avoid it, forming a large wound in the basin.
After a while, the person began to take in more air and outflow less.
When the remaining two people saw this scene, they were both dead souls!
One of them looked at the spiritual ring in Lu Zhong's hand and exclaimed, "It's a spiritual weapon!"
Spiritual weapons are often accompanied by the appearance of foundation-building monks.
After all, without spiritual consciousness, one cannot use spiritual weapons. This is common sense in the world of cultivation.
Then the two of them realized that Lu Zhong had just given birth to his spiritual consciousness in advance, but they still did not dare to rush towards him.
The three Heling Sect disciples on the side were all surprised when they saw Lu Zhong suddenly killing a Jinhong Sect disciple. They had all experienced the strength of the Jinhong Sect's swordsmen, and it usually took several people to join forces to attack and kill him.
But now...
Lu Zhong ignored the looks of others.
The existence of divine consciousness is exposed when it is exposed.
It is actually not impossible for those who are born with strong spiritual consciousness to have spiritual consciousness during the Qi refining period, but there are relatively few such examples, so that they are very conspicuous.
After taking a storage bag, Lu Zhong couldn't help but show ecstasy on his face.
Through spiritual consciousness, we can know that there are hundreds of Qingling iron ingots inside.
According to the practice of the cultivation world, the standard weight of each tablet should be one hundred kilograms.
Qingling iron is suitable for casting low-grade magic weapons. For example, the Qingshuang sword he used before was made of this kind of spiritual iron. The price of one hundred kilograms of this spiritual iron is usually twenty-five spiritual stones.
Once you get a storage bag, you get two thousand five hundred spirit stones.
Raising his hand again, Lu Zhong discovered that the two surrounded Jinhong Sect disciples were clearly two walking spirit stone mountains. It was estimated that the belongings on each of them were worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Breathing speeds up involuntarily.
Lu Zhong suppressed his excitement and did not join in the siege of the two people.
For now, getting the benefits first is the most important thing.
A storage bag was also taken from the corpse. There were also many things in it, worth at least nearly a thousand spiritual stones.
Another one was actually boxes of Qingling Steel Ore!
Qingling Steel is an associated ore of Qingling Iron. It usually appears in the form of ore. One bean is worth one spiritual stone. It is a raw material for refining high-grade magic weapons and can also be used as the base material for spiritual weapons.
A box of Qingling Steel Ore is equivalent to nearly ten thousand Lingshi!
Glancing at the dead body on the ground, Lu Zhong finally understood his mood.
Put your things away, the siege over there is not over yet.
Unlike Lu Zhong who used semi-spiritual weapons to sneak attack, even if they were both at the advanced stage of Qi refining, the three fellow disciples, even with the assistance of thirty outer disciples who formed a formation, would still be unable to defeat two Jinhongs in a short while.
Zong Jianxiu.
Even one person was injured by the sword cultivator's sword energy.
And this is exactly what Lu Zhong wants to see.
If they don't encounter difficulties, they will definitely be reluctant to give up the spoils of war, and they won't be able to do it without some hardship.
"Senior Brother Lu, please give us a helping hand!" The injured man couldn't help but ask for help.
The other two people did not speak, indicating their acquiescence in the matter.
"You're welcome, helping fellow students is the right thing to do!"
When Lu Zhong heard this, he immediately took out the golden sword and joined in the fight.
Like the straw that broke the camel's back, the two Jinhong Sect sword cultivators resisted for a while, but in the end they were beheaded one after another, leaving behind a large sum of money to enrich the Heling Sect.
After some distribution, everyone can benefit.
Of course, Lu Zhong, who showed great strength, naturally got the most.
There were many coalition monks who escaped from the mine tunnel, but the three big fish in front never appeared again. Although the harvest was still satisfying, it lacked the strong surprise at the beginning.
The blocking battle lasted until midnight.
In the dark night sky, a light flag with the seal of the three spirits united suddenly lit up. This was the war tradition of the Heling Sect since its founding. The appearance of the light flag symbolized the Heling Sect's victory again, and also signaled the end of the blocking war.
.
Lu Zhong roughly estimated the harvest. This time, he estimated that he would receive a minimum of 30,000 spiritual stones. If he slowly sells things, it would not be a problem to get another 10,000 to 20,000 spiritual stones.
"A foundation-building pill can be obtained so easily!"
With a sigh, he sped up the Ice Heart Technique and forced himself to calm down.
After all, the evil thoughts in my heart have not been eliminated, and adding new evil thoughts will only cause trouble for myself.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the mine to gather.
On the way, we passed through the west area of the mine.
After such a fierce battle, very few mortals survived in the mine. This can be seen from the mountains of mortal corpses piled up among the houses in the West District. It is estimated that there is only one survivor in a hundred.
Arriving at the central square, the atmosphere here is particularly solemn.
On the ground, there are corpses covered with the flag of the Three Spirits Unity. The number is said to be hundreds.
In the case of a sudden surprise attack, with no foundation-building combat power to contend with, the Heling Sect disciples who failed to escape from the Xiao Yuangu Mine in time had no choice but to die in battle if they were not in an easily defendable place when the incident occurred.
There were people at the scene who were familiar with the deceased, but they stood silently in front of the body.
Occasionally, there was a sob, but it was the Taoist companion who was killed in the battle, and someone was comforting him next to him.
After seeing this scene in front of his eyes, Lu Zhong could not help but feel the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox dying. He couldn't help but think in his heart, "If I am unfortunate enough to be caught up by Chen Jiangnu, will anyone cry for me?"
Figures appeared in my mind.
He gave a forced smile at the end, probably not.
…
Not long after the Xiaoyuan Valley Mine was recovered, news of the frontal battlefield quickly came.
As Lin Zhenghe guessed, the decisive battle that took place at Jufeng Pass determined the winner. The Heling Sect suffered a lot of losses in this battle. The number of high-level disciples in the sect alone was killed in the hundreds, plus the low-level disciples and
The number of casualties among the hired casual cultivators will be nearly 10,000.
As for the losses of flying boats and other war instruments, the value is at least millions of spiritual stones.
After paying such a huge price, the results gained are certainly not small.
The only golden elixir ancestor of the Jinhong Sect, Master Xuanjian, suffered fatal injuries in this battle. Even if he managed to escape back to the main formation of the Jinhong Sect, it would be of no avail and he might die at any time.
Without the combat power of the Dan Formation Stage, it can be said that the Jinhong Sect’s defeat is certain.
After all, in a sect war of this level, it is never Qi Refining Stage disciples like Lu Zhong, nor a group of foundation-building cultivators, that determines the outcome of the war, but the beings at the level of the Golden Pill Ancestor.
On the Luoyun Sect's side, although the Jindan Patriarch, Master Yunqing, is intact, he is destined to stick to the sect and not leave the sect in the future. Otherwise, he will be one against three, and will end up even more miserable than Master Xuanjian.
Next, as long as no other accidents occur, Heling Sect's annexation of Jinhong Luoyun Sect is almost a certainty.
"Huh, it seems that this second battle of the three sects is finally coming to an end." Lu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally concentrate on his cultivation again, without getting involved in such a life-and-death matter.
After being stationed at Xiaoyuangu Mine for half a year, he was recalled to Heling Mountain with an order.
…
Shuini Cave Mansion.
Under the increasingly lush laurel tree, the master and apprentice sat opposite each other.
"Gu dong dong!" Lu Zhong first added some tea to Shui Ni, and then refilled his own cup.
Shui Ni was currently wearing a gauze palace dress, leaning lazily on the trunk of the laurel tree as usual, and said with a smile on her face: "Good disciple, I heard from Junior Brother Lin that this time you were raped by Chen Jiangnu, the saint of the Black Corpse Hall.
Chase?"
"Report to Master, this is indeed the case." Lu Zhong said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Oh?" Shui Ni picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said cheerfully: "Is the golden que and jade talisman array useful? This talisman is more powerful than the three-flower jade talisman given by your uncle, the master, even if it is me who attacks instead.
, and it takes at least ten full-strength shots to destroy the Golden Palace Secret Talisman. Blocking Chen Jiangnu is easy."
Seeing the complacent expression on his master's face, Lu Zhong was surprised.
Shui Ni is strong in the late stage of foundation building. Even the jade talisman has to be destroyed ten times by her. I am afraid that even the Linking Dan can block it with one blow. You can imagine the value of the golden que and jade talisman.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for the talisman. I am deeply grateful!"
As for the fact that he did not rely on the Golden Talisman to escape, he thought it was better to ignore the past, otherwise if Shui Ni was embarrassed, there might not be such a good thing in the future.
"Giggle..." Shui Ni seemed to be very pleased with it, and let out bursts of laughter like silver bells, with a bit more emotion in her voice than before.
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Zhong took the opportunity to raise many questions about cultivation.
After joining the Heling Sect, he finally realized the importance of a guide. Whether or not his master gave him advice was the difference between a hill and a rugged ridge in his cultivation.
The reason why he can successfully cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Refining is closely related to Shui Ni's guidance.
After receiving the advice, Lu Zhong also reciprocated.
Presenting the latest ten volumes of storybooks.
Shui Ni happily accepted it and handed out a silvery bead.
She stopped her smile, put on a solemn expression, and explained: "This thing is called the Secret Bead of Imprinting. It can directly transfer the memory in your mind into an image. My dear disciple, you go back and sort out the memory, and then transfer Chen Jiangnu to it."
I will rub my memory into it and return this bead to me tomorrow."
"Yes, disciple, I obey!" Lu Zhong responded.
Shui Ni's words are beyond words of consideration.
After all, if the rubbing was done on-site, if he used scene retrieval to discover Chen Jiangnu's abnormal memory, it would definitely be rubbed into it.
If this happens, I'm afraid the master and apprentice will not be able to do it.
