After making sure that the spiritual contract was OK, Lu Zhong left his name on it.
After doing this, he turned around and looked at Huo Yuanhao.
"Now that the contract has been completed, please ask the Lord of the Fire Palace to complete the assembly of the monk army within half a year as agreed. The ugly words are ahead. If you fail to gather enough strength, then I will not take any extra risks to help you regain the reverse.
Jianshan Pass." Lu Zhong said calmly.
Hearing Lu Zhong's words, Huo Yuanhao and Huo Yuanling looked at each other.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, please rest assured! Nijian Mountain Pass is extremely important to me, Xiao Yuan Palace. The master of this palace will definitely assemble the army of monks within the agreed time limit." Huo Yuanhao laughed and said, as if
Very confident about this.
Then, he looked at Lu Zhong and invited: "There is still half a year before the army gathers. This period of time is not long, and it is not even three or two days. Taoist friends, why not pay a visit to Xiaoyuan Palace?
How about it? There is a spiritual pool in Xiaoyuan Palace, and one dip can be worth several months of hard work."
"Thank you very much, Master Fire Palace, for your kind words. Unfortunately, I have important matters involved and I can't get away for the time being." Lu Zhong showed an apologetic expression.
In fact, he did have something to do.
Once the parasite parasitizing the Shui Ni Yuan Shen starts to be stimulated by the tribulation thunder, it cannot stop on the way, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted and unpredictable consequences will occur. If the parasite is allowed to adapt to the tribulation thunder, then things will be different.
There is no room for redemption.
In order to help Shui Ni wake up as soon as possible, Lu Zhong could only refuse without mercy.
When Huo Yuanhao heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he immediately smiled and said: "Since fellow Taoist can't get out, I won't do much to retain you. Half a year later, we will meet at Badaoyuan!"
"Well, I'll take my leave now."
Lu Zhong cupped his hands towards Huo Yuanhao and then turned into a rainbow and went away.
…
In order to be quiet and not disturbed, Lu Zhong did not rent a cave in Yuyuan Immortal City. Instead, he found an ownerless spiritual vein and dug a temporary cave.
Formations and restrictions are all available.
for the rest of the time.
In addition to meditating every day and removing parasites from Shui Ni, Lu Zhong was not idle the rest of the time. He kept changing his disguise and traveling around, asking about spiritual things that nourished the soul.
Whether it's a secret place, an ancient monk's cave or a ruins.
Relying on his Nascent Soul cultivation, he pushed through all of them.
I did get some spiritual things.
After being given to Shui Ni, the damage caused by Jie Lei was indeed healed a lot. Although it was impossible to fully recover, it could at least buy a lot of time for Lu Zhong to respond better.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
At the agreed time, Lu Zhong came to Badaoyuan.
Badao was originally an intermountain plain, located on the northwest side of the Xiaoyuan Palace section of the Tianci Mountains, and was formed by two mountain branches.
Standing on the plain and looking to the north, you can see giant sloping peaks. They are like sharp swords piercing the sky, extending for more than ten thousand miles toward the Tianci Mountains. Niijian Pass is located between these sloping giant peaks and the main vein of the Tianci Mountains.
's intersection.
At this moment, there were bursts of bell music.
An army of monks with a size of 100,000, consisting of nearly a thousand flying boats and hundreds of flying spirit beasts, has formed an iron wall formation and is slowly advancing towards the north like a wall.
Seeing the army arriving, Lu Zhong approached them.
It turned into a rainbow light and flew over, going straight to the center of the army.
Here, there is a giant flying boat built with pavilions and pavilions. Its huge size of more than two hundred feet is extremely huge compared with the surrounding flying boats that are only a hundred feet long.
It didn't take much thinking to know that this boat must be the flagship of the army, so Lu Zhong fell straight into it.
In the deck palace, Huo Yuanhao felt relieved when he saw Lu Zhong attending the appointment.
Don't look at the army of monks he assembled today. It can be said to be huge. There are many foundation-building and elixir-forming monks among them. However, to the snow beast group at Nijian Mountain Pass, these monks are nothing. They only need to be divided at will.
A herd of beasts can be easily swamped.
The real key to this battle actually lies with the Nascent Soul Lords.
To be precise, it was on Lu Zhong.
When Huo Yuanhao thought of this, he hesitated for a moment, handed out a jade box, and said: "The box contains the White Holy Ice Orchid. I would like to ask fellow Taoists to take a look."
Lu Zhong took the jade box and found that it was really Bai Shengbinglan.
He couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuanhao in surprise, thinking that the master of Xiao Yuan Palace was really good at winning over people's hearts. Paying him directly like this was indeed easy to make people like him.
As a result, he was too embarrassed to paddle.
…
The arrival of the monk army soon attracted a small group of snow beasts.
There are not many of them, and the one with the largest number does not exceed a hundred. With a group of snow beasts of this size, there is no need for True Monarch Nascent Soul to take action.
Under the command of Elder Jindan.
All the foundation-building Qi-refining monks inspired waves of spells.
The herd of snow beasts hit these "spell waves" and melted away like ice and snow, leaving only large bodies of strangely shaped corpses. They did not even hinder the advancement of the iron wall formation.
The army is like a wall and continues to advance.
After advancing for more than 4,700 miles, we bumped into a herd of large snow beasts at dusk.
They are the group of snow beasts that broke through Niijian Pass.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, it was like a torrent hitting an iron wall, and the battle directly entered a fierce stage. However, at this moment, Lu Zhong and other Nascent Soul Lords were still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
They are still waiting for the king beast of the herd to appear.
The king beast is the strongest of the snow beast group, usually held by a fourth-level snow beast.
And the quantity is often not unique.
After a while, two white shadows flew out from the group of snow beasts, one behind the other.
The two king beasts are not the same. One has the shape of a human body and bat wings, and the other looks like a maggot that has been cut open. Their appearance is quite curious. It can be said that they have no resemblance to the original appearance of the snow beast. They let out a burst of sounds.
After a sharp roar, they all rushed towards the army of monks.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong and Huo Yuanhao looked at each other and turned into streams of light to greet them.
Halfway through the journey, Lu Zhong released five dragon flags.
Immediately afterwards, in order to prepare for possible accidents, he applied various blessing spells to his body, whether it was the Star Gathering Technique or the Flying Star Air Conduction Technique, as long as it could improve his strength.
After Lu Zhong finished doing this, he rushed to the snow beast.
The fourth-level snow beast with body and bat wings saw the monk rushing forward and let out several angry roars. At the same time, white light began to glow all over its body.
The next moment.
Accompanied by an explosion of dazzling white light.
Lu Zhong's protective aura was instantly broken as soon as it came into contact with the white light.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even react.
At this time, the king beast made a new move.
It swept its bat wings and used it as a blade to slash at Lu Zhong, but was blocked by the dragon spirit flag.
The two collided, making the sound of gold and iron clashing.
