The man in black used the floating talisman, and his body dodged slightly, avoiding the blow of the green bamboo sword, and his body was also suspended in the air.
His body was like an afterimage, flying five or six feet very fast, and arrived near the entrance of the cave in the blink of an eye.
The man in black was overjoyed, and his eyes showed a bit of excitement, as if he could escape from the cave soon and save his life.
His cultivation level is higher than Zhang Zhixuan's, and his magic power is more profound. If he goes to the wilderness outside, even if he loses the shield magic weapon, he may not be unable to win.
Just when the man in black was secretly proud, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck from the entrance of the cave.
A bolt of fire and lightning struck the edge of the cave entrance. Although it did not hit the man in black directly, it also exploded and shattered the rocks at the entrance of the cave.
Broken rocks shot out, like powerful crossbow arrows, hitting the man in black hard.
Not only that, the aftermath of the fire and thunder also affected the man in black. His body was immediately ripped open by the fire and thunder, and half of his body was immediately numb, unable to move at all.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Zhixuan naturally could not let go. The green bamboo sword came almost instantly and cut off the broken body of the man in black.
A pair of wooden talismans once again made great achievements, helping Zhang Zhixuan kill a powerful enemy.
Zhang Zhixuan looked at the pair of wooden talismans carefully and smiled bitterly to himself: "The aura of the wooden talismans has been mostly dimmed, and it looks like it will be damaged after just one use."
After killing the man in black, Zhang Zhixuan dragged his feet and began to collect the trophies from the man in black.
Although the man in black comes from a cultivating family in the Wu Kingdom, he has been a casual cultivator for many years. In order to maintain his cultivation and save spiritual stones, all the good things he had on him have been sold. Except for the magic weapon shield that was divided into two pieces,
Only one second-level mid-grade flying knife weapon was intact.
In addition, there are seven or eight spiritual talismans on the man in black. Unfortunately, the grades are not high. Most of them are second-level low-grade ones, which are not as good as the floating talismans he has used.
As for the spirit-seeking rats carried by the man in black, they also took advantage of the death of the man in black and fled deep into the cave.
Zhang Zhixuan packed up the trophies and ran towards Lushan without daring to stop for a moment. An hour later he finally escaped back to the mountain gate.
Zhang Zhixuan returned to Lushan and went straight to Tiantai Peak. He ignored the greetings with the monks at the mountain gate and went straight to the cave of his nineteenth uncle Zhang Mengling.
Seeing Zhang Mengling, Zhang Zhixuan ignored the panic in his eyes and immediately told Zhang Mengling the news about Xihefang City in detail.
After hearing what Zhang Zhixuan said, Zhang Mengling suddenly felt terrified.
"The family's power has weakened a lot, and many people have been lost this time. Especially the ninth brother Zhang Mengquan, who has not been heard from until now. The family has only trained one alchemist, and the power of the city depends entirely on him.
Once Ninth Brother is lost and the family loses its alchemist, what will we do in the future?"
When such a big event happened, even though Zhang Mengling had been in charge of the family's general affairs for many years, he still couldn't settle down, like an ant on a hot pot.
He anxiously walked out of the cave and began to notify many elders of the family. He also sent a teleportation talisman to the patriarch Zhang Leqian to inform him of the bad news.
In less than a moment, almost all the monks from the family who were in the late stages of Qi training and above arrived at Zhang Mengling's cave.
Zhang Mengling looked at everyone and said in panic: "The clan leader is at a critical moment and cannot leave the seclusion casually. We cannot disturb him yet.
You already know the news. I am afraid that Fangshi has been lost. Most of the spiritual stones and spiritual objects inside have been lost. Except for a few bottles of spiritual elixirs brought back by Zhixuan's nephew, I am afraid that all the property in Fangshi has been lost.
Nephew Zhixuan was the first to come back. According to what he said, six of our manpower stationed in Fangshi were lost in Fangshi, and the remaining seven dispersed to break out, including Ninth Brother Zhang Mengquan. I don’t know if we can still survive.
How many people are coming back?”
After hearing Zhang Mengling's words, everyone was a little shocked.
However, most of the people present had experienced the changes thirty years ago, and their minds were relatively firm, so although they were anxious, they did not throw themselves into disarray.
"Nineteenth brother, the matter has come to this, there is no point in panic.
Now we are spreading out and searching near Lushan to see if we can find any surviving tribesmen.
Everyone should bring their messenger talismans and work in groups of two." Fourth uncle Zhang Menglong glanced at everyone and said.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Menngling was already confused, so the fourth uncle could only step in and give orders on his behalf.
"Zhixuan, do you want me?" Zhang Menglong turned around and asked.
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle, for your concern. The injury has been brought under control." Zhang Zhixuan replied.
Zhang Menglong felt relieved and said: "That's good. If you are not in serious trouble, go down the mountain immediately and keep an eye on the spiritual field. If there is anything unusual outside, use the beacon to notify the mountain gate quickly."
After informing Zhang Zhixuan, Zhang Menglong and others began to act separately. A dozen monks in the late stages of Qi training were divided into several groups and looked for the remaining people in all directions.
Zhang Mengling also immediately walked out of the mountain gate and informed the four major immortal cultivating families nearby.
In the next few days, the five major families in Taicheng County were searching for their lost members and at the same time began to mobilize their manpower to prepare to attack the Hu family who occupied Xihefang City.
But soon, Qingxuanzong sent down an edict that Hu Peiyu, the concubine of Jin Patriarch, had personally taken action to kill Wei Mazi and his group who were robbing Fangshi.
Except for a few Qi-training monks, almost all of Wei Mazi's group died at the hands of Hu Peiyu.
In order to raise funds, Qingxuanshan has decided to allocate half of the shops in Xihefang to the Hu family.
Faced with this situation, although the five major cultivating families were still reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Qingxuan Mountain's orders. They could only knock down their teeth and swallow them in their mouths, and reluctantly handed over half of the shops in Xihefangzhong to Hu.
family.
In the past few days, three more people from the Zhang family escaped from Fangshi, but these three people did not include the ninth uncle Zhang Mengquan.
In this conflict, the five major families suffered heavy losses. Not only did they lose half of the shops in Xihefang, they also lost a lot of manpower.
Especially the leader of the Wu family, the monks stationed in Fangshi were almost wiped out. Not only Wu Xiangyuan died, but even the eight late-stage Qi-training monks who helped guard the formation were all killed in the formation.
Because of Hu Peiyu's relationship, although the five major families can't do anything to the Hu family for the time being, hatred has already been forged.
If the situation changes slightly in the future, the five major families will attack the Hu family to eliminate this hidden danger for themselves.
Although the Hu family monks gained a lot of resources during this operation, they were also unprecedentedly isolated in Taicheng County.
They colluded with the monks in black, and now they can't hide it from everyone.
The same routine has been used three times in the past thirty years. The five major families are not fools and will not listen to the Hu family's excuses.
As long as there is an opportunity, they will swarm up and kill the Hu family.
