As for the Yaksha Gate, since the attack on Jiangcheng failed, the souls of the three Taoist priests and the remaining Taoist disciples returned to the gate, and the Yaksha Gate is in a state of panic.
The ghost bodies of the three clay statues standing in the ghost temple were covered with cracks, and their bodies were mutilated and collapsed, revealing the Taoist priest's body stuck in the mud.
They are all skinned and white-haired, with bodies like mummies and sinister faces, full of hatred.
Two people opened their mouths and yelled in hoarse voices: "Taoist priest Shezhao, Taoist priest Baiguguan, and the demon envoy! I will kill you!"
"Damn it! If I don't avenge this, I will never be a human being!"
There was also a ghost temple with a long snake-like thing running rampantly, smashing lampposts, railings, stone tables and chairs into pieces, and roaring: "Hate! My hundreds of years of practice have been lost in one loss."
This beast was the Taoist priest with a long tongue. It was unlucky. Although it was alert, it was directly surrounded by the Sandu Taoist priests from the White Bone Temple in Jiangcheng. It could not escape even if it tried to escape. Its ghost body was also damaged in Jiangzhou City.
If Xu Dao were here, he would definitely find that the Taoist priest with a long tongue looks different now than before.
When the two were fighting in the past, the long-tongued Taoist priest spit out his long tongue from the green smoke, and his huge ghost body vaguely took shape behind him. But now it has emerged as a ghost, and there is only a bare tongue left in its body, without a human body.
, just like the blood-colored eyes that were refined by Xu Dao.
This means that the ghost body was damaged, and nothing but the soul has returned. Hundreds of years of efforts have been in vain. The Taoist priest Longtongue's cultivation has completely dropped to the level of just entering the foundation building. Only the soul after the transformation of the foundation building is still left.
Although it can swallow the elixir and spiritual energy in a short period of time and quickly restore its cultivation level, this short period of time is compared to the previous hundred years of cultivation. In fact, it is still calculated in ten years.
But now that a powerful enemy is in front of it, Xu Dao and others will not give it a day's effort, and it immediately frightens it. It wreaks havoc in its own ghost temple, venting the fear in its heart with a sullen expression.
It's just that most of the Taoist disciples in the sect have been lost in Jiangcheng, and there is no one in the ghost temple. No one will be afraid of its fierce power.
After venting for a while, the three Taoist priests who returned with their souls all woke up. Their consciousnesses rolled wildly and communicated with each other:
"We are facing a powerful enemy. Our ghost bodies have collapsed and our magic power has been greatly reduced. What can we do?"
"There are still two hall masters who have not returned yet. Let's wait until they come back..."
"No, if those beasts in Jiangcheng move quickly, after Tongshou and the others return, the thieves will arrive soon!"
During the fierce calculation, dark winds gusted inside the Yaksha Sect, and the formation tightly sealed the entire sect without any gaps. It not only guarded against foreign enemies, but also prevented the Taoist disciples under the sect from escaping.
After careful calculation, the three Taoist priests found that they had no other options except waiting for their helpers to return and preparing for the enemy.
Suddenly, the three of them had an idea in their minds: "The other party has twelve Taoist priests and more than a thousand disciples, and their strength is three times that of us. If they don't abandon the door and leave..."
Involuntarily, the chaotic consciousness of the three ghost Taoist priests calmed down, and their physical bodies opened their eyes and looked towards the center of the sect.
A thought popped into their minds: "Master!"
For the current plan, if these people don't leave, they can only take the initiative to wake up the Yaksha Sect Master and make him support him.
But thinking of this, the faces of the three Taoist priests did not look completely relieved. Instead, their eyes flickered, as if they each had their own agenda.
I saw the long-tongued Taoist priest among them thinking to himself: "The old guy has no excuse to shirk now that we are facing a powerful enemy. We just took the opportunity to see if this old guy is disabled."
The other two people had roughly the same idea, and they thought with joy: "Even if the old guy is not destroyed, if he kills a few more Taoist priests, he will definitely not have a few more years to live."
If Xu Dao's previous guess was true, several Taoist priests from the Yaksha Sect had long been dissatisfied with the sect leader, and even secretly plotted against him.
The decision fell.
The next moment, the frightened shouts of the three Taoist priests echoed in the Yaksha Gate formation:
"Master, help!" "Master, help us!"
They cried and howled, begging the master of the Yaksha Sect to come out of seclusion. Their voices were shrill and shrill, with no Taoist demeanor at all, which made the Taoist disciples who were lucky enough to escape back to the gate look at them with suspicion.
Not caring about the image, the three of them ordered the living Taoist disciples in the door to shout and kowtow together.
Rolling shouts rang out in the Yaksha Gate, and there was a lot of crying.
They kowtowed to the center of the sect for several quarters of an hour, and a gloomy and arrogant consciousness finally burst out from the deep pit underground.
The powerful spiritual consciousness scanned the inside and outside of the Yaksha Gate wantonly, and after taking stock of the situation inside the door, especially the conditions of the three Taoist priests, an old voice sounded:
"Jie! The formation has been activated, but someone wants to attack my Yaksha Gate?"
"Yes, exactly!" The Changtongues nodded quickly and told them that Jiangcheng, Shezhao, and Baigu Temple had joined forces, and almost all the disciples in the sect were killed.
Long Tongue howled: "Sect Master, let us make the decision!"
"Jie Jie!" Jie's laughter came from the coffin in the deep pit, but the prayers of the long-tongued Taoist priest and others were not answered.
This situation not only made the three Taoist priests feel uneasy, but also made them suspicious. Just when they were wondering whether the soul of the sect master had declined and his magic power was greatly reduced.
A sound of the coffin shaking sounded in the formation, and the old voice came back:
"Hahaha! How dare you gather a crowd to besiege our sect in this small city of Jiangcheng? You are overestimating your own capabilities!"
The voice laughed loudly and immediately agreed: "Since you have a request, I should answer it."
When Chang Tou and the others heard this, they quickly suppressed their other thoughts and just yelled: "Thank you, Master!", "Thank you, Master!"
Then, the voice of the master of the Yaksha Sect became gentle: "Disciples in the sect, come and see me quickly."
The three Taoist priests with long tongues did not doubt that he was there, so they immediately agreed and ordered the remaining Taoist disciples to follow him to see him.
Amidst the commotion, in order to show respect, they all pulled out their bodies from the clay statues according to the usual rules, used their magic power to support the wind, and led more than a hundred Taoist disciples to gather in the central cemetery of Yaksha Gate to greet them.
The master of the Yaksha Sect comes out of seclusion.
Bang! Bang!
In the dark pit, the sound of coffins opening and closing sounded, and the aura emanating from it became stronger and stronger each time, as if a giant thing was breathing and was about to wake up.
But if you listen carefully to its voice, it sounds like a giant beast opening and closing its mouth, clicking and clicking, excited and enduring something.
The long-tongued Taoist priest and others knelt on the ground, all with their necks lowered, not daring to peep.
Wisps of white gas emerged from the dark pit, spreading like clouds and mist, surrounding all the Taoist priests and disciples present.
The Taoist priests and Taoist disciples looked down and found that the white air was tangled and entangled, and flowers bloomed.
White lotuses swelled on the ground, and a strange chanting voice sounded: "Om ma mo ye sa, om ma mo ye sa!"
“Om ma moo ye sa!”
The buzzing chants shook the souls of the Taoist priests and disciples. When they saw this magical scene, their heads drooped and they almost fell to the ground, thinking in their hearts that the gods were about to appear.
But if someone stood up and looked around, they would find that the white air was not clouds and mist, nor was it fairy-like at all. Instead, it was like mycelium, wriggling and entwining, covering thousands of steps in a radius.
Among the white blankets sprouted pale flowers with deformities like human faces, heads, babies, and other objects. They were densely packed and numbered tens of thousands.
………………
As for Jiangzhou City.
After the twelve Taoist priests gave the order, Xu Dao heard it, and his eyes suddenly flashed with light.
He stood up in the air, slapped the foundation-building magic weapon disguised as a pumpkin hammer on his waist, and drank to the Taoist disciples below him:
"Rise up the troops! Fight the ghosts!"
"Promise!" Being watched by twelve huge Taoist priests and receiving Xu Dao's orders, no one of the thousands of Taoist disciples in the city dared to disobey. Even those who feared the Yaksha Gate, they all trembled and bowed to promise:
"I will obey the Taoist commander's orders!"
"Jie Jie!" The twelve Taoist priests made eye contact with each other, looked at the more than a thousand Taoist priests who were obedient, smiled on their faces, and shouted in unison:
"good."
Yaksha Gate also has a large formation to protect the mountain. When Xu Dao and others restrain the Taoist priests at Yaksha Gate, they need these Taoist disciples to wander around the formation looking for gaps and constantly wearing down the formation.
The plan of thousands of people and their combined efforts can greatly speed up their attack on the Yaksha Gate formation.
As for the way to travel, originally most of the thousands of Taoist disciples in the city had to go to Yaksha Gate on their own, but the Taoist priests from White Bone Temple came, and the black clouds in their hands could drag thousands of people and horses, so naturally they were not inferior to the thousands of Taoists.
only.
After another moment of agreement, several Taoist priests from White Bone Temple worked together to cause a strong wind to blow in Jiangcheng.
Whoosh! The black air rushed out from their sleeves and immediately swept the Taoist disciples in the city into the air one by one.
Soon, the people and horses gathered together, and a group of Taoist priests dragged more than a thousand Taoist disciples. With black steam, they rushed over the mountain towards the direction of the Yaksha Gate.
Xu Dao's sword was flying around, and he was walking forward with a carefree posture, showing a free and easy demeanor.
The journey of more than 440 miles, even if dragged down by many Taoist disciples, can still be reached in half a day.
The attack on Yaksha Gate is just around the corner!
While Xu Daoyang was on his way, the two Yaksha Gate Taoist priests who had successfully escaped with their ghost bodies had already arrived near Yaksha Gate.
Of these two Taoist priests, one had three heads and six arms, a ferocious face, and the other had droopy ears and shoulders, and a fat body. When they saw where their sect was stationed, their eyes were filled with joy.
The two of them looked at the large formation of ghost energy rising from the mass grave, and thought to themselves: "It must be those three guys from Long Tongue who returned to the door and activated the formation."
Seeing the large formation, the two of them felt more at ease. They no longer covered their bodies, and immediately made a whistling sound. The ghost body swelled eight or nine times, and the ghost energy under the body surged even more. They carried them and flew towards the ghost energy array.
.
But after approaching the ghost energy formation, the two ghost Taoist priests suddenly stopped, with doubts on their faces.
It's all because they came here with great momentum, but the Yaksha Gate was strangely quiet.
Only the ghostly aura of the large formation was rising and lingering, and no Taoist priest or disciple in the sect shouted to them to welcome them in.
The two of them had just escaped from Jiangzhou City, and saw with their own eyes that the ghost bodies of three of their fellow disciples had been destroyed, and they suddenly felt timid in their hearts.
The two Taoist priests quickly restrained their momentum, shrunk to the height of one person, looked at each other, and communicated with their spiritual consciousness:
"When the formation is activated, why is no one alert to the outside world?"
"Is it possible that Longtongue and the others just rolled up the belongings in the door and fled?"
"Could it be that someone else is attacking and has already broken into the door?" Confused, the two ghost Taoist priests communicated with each other without any definite plan.
Although they suspected something had happened in the door and did not dare to enter the formation for a while, they did not dare to abandon the door directly because their bodies were still stored in the ghost temple inside the door.
Thinking of this, the two ghost Taoist priests began to worry about whether there was something wrong with their physical bodies.
The two of them patrolled near Yaksha Gate for a long time, sometimes far or near, sometimes looking at the ghost formation, sometimes looking back in the direction of Jiangcheng.
When the two met again and began to murmur in low voices, suddenly a rich voice came from the ghost energy formation:
"Bronze head, many ears."
Hearing this sound, the two ghost Taoist priests were shaken and their eyes were filled with astonishment: "Master!"
On the large array of ghost energy shrouded in black energy, a huge round face suddenly appeared, more than ten feet tall, with eyes like round wheels, a plump chin, and kind eyes that gave people a sense of pity.
This appearance is exactly the appearance of the ghost and god that Xu Dao once saw, the master of the Yaksha Sect.
The huge face lowered its round eyes, looking down at the two ghost Taoist priests, and asked with a buzzing voice:
"You two disciples, why are you patrolling the house but not entering?"
Hearing the master of the Yaksha Sect asking the two of them, the two Taoist priests Tongshou and Duoer suppressed the fear in their hearts and hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying only:
"I've met the sect master!", "I've met the master! The master's power is boundless!"
As for what the Master of the Yasha Sect asked the two of them, they were too hesitant to answer immediately and racked their brains to think of excuses.
In their hearts, Tongshou and Duoer secretly thought: "The sect master has actually left seclusion! It must have been invited by Chang Tou and the others."
"I wonder whether the sect master's cultivation has improved or declined over the years..."
The master of the Yasha Sect stared at the two of them, a smile suddenly broke out on his plump face, and he continued to show his pity, and said in a low voice: "That's all."
"Come into the battle, remove the poison and heal your wounds. There are some thieves who have their own way of dealing with them."
Seeing the Yaksha Sect Master smiling and inviting him, the two ghost Taoist priests were even more astonished. They looked at the Yaksha Sect Master with kind-faced eyes, and alarm bells suddenly sounded in their hearts.
But even if they felt something was wrong in their hearts, after some calculations, Tongshou and Duoer could only bite the bullet and shout: "No!"
"Thank you, Master!" The two of them immediately mobilized their magic power and walked slowly towards the Yaksha Gate.
In a moment of hesitation, just as the Tongshou duo were about to step into the formation, a majestic momentum surged in the direction of Jiangzhou City.
The two men suddenly turned their heads and looked back.
I saw a black cloud jumping out of the mountains and rolling towards the sky. There were several huge bodies standing on it, and there were dense figures surrounding it, looking eagerly at the direction of the Yaksha Gate.
Another stream of light flew from other directions, accompanied by five monsters with demon heads and human bodies.
At this time, Xu Dao and twelve Taoist priests arrived near the Yaksha Gate through the clouds and mist. They attacked from both sides and were about to besiege the Yaksha Gate.
