Chapter 172 Fengqi Palace, the arrival of the blood moon tide
Wuchen Island is the fifth-ranked sect in the Nine Prefectures, and it is difficult for ordinary people to refuse his invitation.
"Sorry, not interested."
Xu Taiping shook his head and walked away.
As for the formation of cliques, it actually started before entering the Immortal Caldera Cave. The young monks who were favored by several major sects in the Nine Prefectures, with the support of their sects, each attracted the monks who entered the Immortal Caldera Cave this time.
In this way, you can strengthen yourself while also reducing the resistance on the road ahead.
If there was nothing else to do, Xu Taiping wouldn't mind joining one of them, as it would save time and effort.
Murong Song, who was rejected by Xu Taiping, looked a little ugly.
"Boy, if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink, right?"
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions."
Murong Song stretched out his hand and stopped some impulsive teenagers behind him.
"It's just that when the time comes, if you run into trouble when you walk out of here, no one will save you."
He then said with a somewhat threatening tone.
This was said to Xu Taiping, and even more to everyone present who was still watching.
"Rumble!..."
At this moment, a burst of muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky above our heads.
Then the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and there was no light in the whole world.
In the dilapidated hall behind everyone, the lights suddenly lit up from the oil lamps that had long since dried up, illuminating the broken statues in the hall in an extremely eerie and terrifying light.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in front of Fengqi Palace.
Some people even opened the teleportation scroll directly in order to escape from the Fairy Gourd Cave, but in the end, they opened three scrolls in a row, but nothing happened.
For a time, people were panicked.
"Don't panic, everyone follow me to the palace. When we came here, our elders from Wuchen Island said that no matter what happens in Xianhu Cave, the five outermost halls are the safest!"
In the midst of the panic, the voice of Murong Song, the young island master of Wuchen Island, suddenly sounded, suppressing the frightened voices of the young monks.
Upon hearing this, everyone who was originally in panic gathered towards the dilapidated hall.
Except Xu Taiping.
Not only did he not approach the Fengqi Palace, but he took a few steps back with a hint of horror in his eyes.
"Isn't this what Sister Lingyue said? In the fragments of the Fairy and Demonic Battlefield Continent, every once in a while, there will be a day of demonic energy tide, a blood moon tide."
Xu Taiping thought this while looking up at the sky.
Then he discovered that there was a blood-colored full moon hanging in the dark sky above his head.
The so-called demonic tide refers to the phenomenon that the demonic energy accumulated in the fragments of the secret realm is released every once in a while.
The time can be hundreds of years, thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years.
The harm caused by the tide of demonic energy is first to corrode the minds of monsters and even monks, making them go crazy, and secondly to awaken some ferocious beasts sleeping underground.
For example, some existences that Fairy Lingyue asked her to pay attention to.
The reason why Xu Taiping stayed away from the dilapidated hall was because under the Fengqi Hall, a wild beast raised by the demon clan was suppressed.
Not only Fengqi Hall, but also the underground of the other four halls are suppressing wild beasts.
As for the existence of desolate beasts, it is impossible to completely eliminate them.
Can suppress it underground.
However, most of the time, the owner of the secret realm can sense the date when the tide of demonic energy is about to erupt, so usually at that time, the owner or guardian of the secret realm will close the secret realm for hundreds of years, waiting until the demonic energy subsides.
reopen.
So the harm caused is not great.
"As the guardian of this secret realm, Master Yuqing, didn't he feel the arrival of the blood moon tide?"
Xu Taiping put his hand on the handle of the knife and silently retreated behind a collapsed stone pillar in the open space in front of the hall. At the same time, he began to doubt the Jade Qing layman in his heart.
"Why don't you let us in?"
"What right do you have to keep us out?"
"This is your revenge, revenge for my brother and sister not joining you just now!"
At this time, a burst of noise suddenly sounded at the door of the hall.
Through the dim lights in the hall, Xu Taiping could only see a brother and sister being blocked outside the hall by Murong Song and others.
A closer look revealed that these two siblings were the same two who had misunderstood Xu Taiping before.
The person currently arguing with Murong Song and the others was the brother who had scolded Xu Taiping before.
"boom!"
Amid the quarrel, a huge palm suddenly shot out from the door of the hall, sending the burly young man flying upside down.
"bass!"
The girl on the side suddenly pulled out the long knife from her waist, and when another palm mark was struck towards her brother, the knife struck the shadow of the palm with a "swish" sound.
What surprised Xu Taiping was that this seemingly weak girl had an extremely strong sword intention, and she chopped the palm shadow into pieces with one strike.
At this time, her brother also turned over and climbed up. He also pulled out a long knife from his waist and slashed towards the entrance of the hall without saying a word.
The two brothers and sister drew out their long swords, and for a moment their momentum was not inferior to that of Murong Song and others in the palace.
But just when the swords of the two men were about to overwhelm Murong Song's palm, Murong Song suddenly took out a hand and patted the dagger at his waist.
With just a "clang" sound, the short sword on his waist turned into a stream of light and flew towards the two brothers and sisters.
"boom!"
With just one strike of the sword, the brother and sister were defeated by their swords, and their body-protecting Qi was shattered.
At this critical moment of life and death, the brother suddenly and desperately pushed the girl beside him away, then with red eyes, slashed at the flying sword.
"Crack!"
The long knife in his hand almost shattered at the sound.
"boom!"
But at this moment, the girl who was pushed away by her brother suddenly lit up with runes of light all over her body. Then she shouted loudly and suddenly struck the flying sword with her sword.
With a loud "bang" sound, Murong Song's flying sword was actually hacked away by the girl.
However, compared to the power of the girl's sword, Xu Taiping was more concerned about the girl's posture when she drew the sword - one foot on the ground, both hands holding the sword, with the sword in a straight line with her body.
This posture of drawing the sword is exactly the same as the cicada style of Duan Tianya's demon-slaying sword.
However, except for the posture, the other parts of this sword have no similarity with the singing cicada. This sword is more like having the shape of the singing cicada but not the reality of the singing cicada.
"Is this girl from the Tiandao Sect?"
Xu Taiping secretly guessed in his heart. Wuchen Island is the fifth-ranked sect in Jiufu, and his invitation would be difficult for ordinary people to refuse.
"Sorry, not interested."
Xu Taiping shook his head and walked away.
