Just as the Lihen cult members gathered in the four realms of Alchemy, Golden Cauldron, Yuling, and Hehuan were enjoying the last heavy snowfall of their lives, Meng Zhou was also preparing to take action to bring a clean ending to this operation.
But this idea just came into his mind, before he actually took action.
He was suddenly startled.
Because at this moment, the palace in the distance suddenly burst into glory.
The source of these brilliance came from a statue of the god that he had just focused on.
It was the "ordinary statue" with an ordinary face that had just sucked a dark red Void Divine Crystal.
At this moment, there is a faint, crimson luster spreading from the statue.
No walls or buildings could stop the spread of its light, which immediately spread the crimson luster throughout the entire area where the palace was located, and even spread outwards.
Seeing this strange situation, Meng Zhou was shocked.
He immediately realized that this "unremarkable statue" sensed the crisis and was providing early warning in its own way.
This is also what surprised him.
At the second level, Meng Zhou had already been exposed to the skills of detecting danger and predicting danger.
At the third level, there will only be more similar skills.
Regarding investigation and counter-reconnaissance in this field, precognition and counter-precognition have become as common sense as "you must know when forming elixirs".
And Meng Zhou recognized it at a theoretical level early on and analyzed the working mechanism and operating essence of these skills.
And based on this, it has been successfully used in practical experience.
Facts have proved that this is very successful.
Even if the target has been attacked and is about to die, he cannot feel any malice or danger from himself.
As long as he is willing, he can not only be "harmless" but even "non-existent" in the eyes of other practitioners.
Now, his disguise that he thought was flawless was revealed by an "unremarkable statue", and he immediately issued an early warning to the Lihen cult members in the area.
This was something Meng Zhou didn't expect.
"Fortunately, I have arrangements."
Meng Zhou was glad in his heart. If he hadn't been more prepared for everything, maybe there would have been some unexpected twists and turns.
…
The moment crimson light spread out from the "unremarkable statue", it instantly filled all the space in the area of the palace.
The Lihen Cult members who were cultivating in various places in this palace were naturally bathed in this crimson light.
In an instant, a strong feeling of heart palpitations and panic emerged from the hearts of these people for no reason.
While some monks with lower cultivation levels were still hesitating, three monks who had just met at the altar and the tripod not long ago did not stop for a moment. Their figures almost disappeared the moment the crimson light touched them.
Disappear.
The whole process, without even thinking, was like an instinctive reaction.
What?
Why is the instinctive reaction of the top leaders of the Lihen Sect when they feel danger is to drop everything and run away instead of staying and fighting the enemy to the death, risking their lives in a fight?
Because the breed would choose to stay and fight the enemy, it has long been extinct under the attack of Xingxiu Palace.
…
The three senior Lihen Sect leaders who reacted immediately not only disappeared from where they were, but were no longer even in the real world.
At this moment, they are using their own methods, just like diving, using the real world to escape quickly outside the canyon spiritual land.
One of them was not the lowest among the three people who were escaping, but he was probably the least prepared in terms of escaping for survival.
Before the figure disappeared, except for a cloud of blood mist, there was no other movement.
And he was also the first to "emerge" from the real world and reappear in the real world.
When he reappeared, he was already at the edge of the canyon spiritual land, with a formation blocking the way in front of him.
As soon as he emerged, he quickly made two seals with both hands. The formation blocking the road in front quickly revealed a gap, and he was about to rush into it.
But the monk who had just rushed into the gap in the formation became stiff at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a sculpture like a sculpture carved from extremely cold black ice.
Because at the moment when he rushed into the gap in the formation, he thought that there was no danger in the gap, that is, within the formation, when suddenly there was a strong wind that seemed to be made of ice and snow, rotating at high speed towards him.
Coming at you.
The monk didn't even have time to react. There was no way he could hide or escape, and he was blown away.
The rapid freezing started from the head and quickly spread to the whole body.
Because the reserves of the ice and snow storm were too sufficient, when it flooded towards him, his soul even became stiff before his body.
Just after the body completely turned into an ice sculpture, and just when the body of the ice sculpture moved forward at an extremely fast speed according to the inertia, any accident would knock it into pieces - a real moment of shattering into pieces.
In the void ahead of its extremely fast flight, a medium-sized hole suddenly appeared, like a bottle whose cap was suddenly opened.
The next moment, the body of the ice sculpture, which was flying at high speed, threw itself into the mouth of the bottle.
After finishing storing the ice sculpture body, the mouth of the bottle disappeared, and a delicate and small emerald green gourd appeared.
The gourd adjusted its direction slightly and then flew away into the void in the distance.
And at the moment when the first monk broke into the formation, he turned into an ice sculpture, and soon after settling in the spirit gourd space, outside the canyon spirit land, somewhere in the thick fog area covering thousands of miles, a figure staggered out of the void.
.
If we only talk about cultivation, this person is worse than the ice sculpture monk who has moved into the Spiritual Gourd Space in advance, but his survival awareness and preparations are more adequate than the other person. This is why he can escape from close range in one breath.
The reason for thousands of miles.
However, the price he paid was also high.
At the moment when the danger warning came, in addition to the automatically triggered Void Movement Talisman, he also used the blood escape technique that burned blood essence.
At this moment, when he reappeared, he was far away from the spiritual land of the canyon, and was in this dense fog area that was filled with evil spirits and cut off his spiritual consciousness, but he did not relax at all.
Turning his palm, another Void Shifting Talisman appeared in his palm.
He took out the escape talisman and was about to activate it. When he escaped again, he was suddenly stunned.
He subconsciously raised his head and asked, "Where did the moonlight come from?"
Naturally, he didn't see the moonlight, and all he could see was still fog that was too thick to dissolve.
In an instant, his heart fell hard towards the abyss.
At this moment, a bright moon was rising in his sea of consciousness.
The bright moonlight shines all over the sea of consciousness.
His soul was completely and completely bathed in this joy.
In an instant, the moonlight shining all over the sea of consciousness turned into solidified amber, and the monk's soul turned into a "mosquito" solidified in amber.
It seems alive and yet it seems dead.
The next moment, a golden gourd appeared above the monk. The small gourd mouth gently sucked at him. The monk's figure disappeared from the thick fog and lay quietly in the spiritual gourd space.
.
The third monk has the highest cultivation among the three, and is also the strongest among the Lihen Sect in the Five Domains. Both his will to survive and his ability to survive are top-notch.
He disappeared from the spiritual place in the canyon. This time he "dived" and dived for more than 3,000 miles in one breath.
When he "emerged" from the real world and reappeared in the real world, he did not reveal any traces, and still kept his figure invisible.
He was escaping at great speed, and he would adjust his trajectory from time to time. It seemed that he did not have a clear escape direction, or he was always making adjustments to his next move, making it impossible to make any effective decisions about his traces.
Prediction.
Meng Zhou also had to admit that this person's actions caused him great trouble.
It wasn't until the distance between this person and the canyon spiritual land exceeded 10,000 miles that he reached the safe distance in his heart.
In addition, the rapid desperation took a huge toll on him. In order to be in a more energetic and good state in the future, he emerged from a hidden cave and took pills to restore his state.
Before preparing to take the elixir, he also took out a set of extremely high-quality formation flags and quickly arranged and disguised himself.
But it was his almost "superfluous" arrangement and disguise that made a "transparent round mirror" about eight hundred miles away from this person notice the abnormal fluctuations here.
Then, he quickly locked on and saw his tiny figure hiding in the cave from a distance.
The "Transparent Circular Mirror" immediately captures and records this information, and simultaneously refreshes it at the corresponding position in the "Deduction World".
Then, Meng Zhou saw him in the "interpretation world".
——Because what Meng Zhou saw with his eyes was only a piece of information in the "deduction world" and had nothing to do with the monk himself;
The "transparent round mirror" is a tool of subjective judgment without any emotions of good or evil. The traces of the world it captures are just like shadows must appear when passing through the water, and patterns will inevitably form on the water when the wind blows. It is a natural principle.
Therefore, even though this monk had an unusually keen intuition about danger, he didn't feel the slightest bit while he was swallowing the pill at the moment.
Then, in the cave where he was sitting cross-legged, natural snow began to fall naturally. The snow naturally fell on him, but he still didn't feel anything.
By the time he felt something in his heart, it was already too late.
"What's going on? Why is it so cold suddenly?!"
He was refining the elixir with this thought in his mind. He even wanted to interrupt the refining of the elixir and check what was going on outside.
But it's too late.
He only had time to interrupt the refining and absorption of the elixir, but he was unable to open his eyes, nor could he detect his spiritual consciousness again.
His consciousness had been completely "shut down" deep in this rapidly freezing body.
Not long after, a small emerald green gourd appeared in the cave.
The gourd's mouth appeared and sucked gently toward a certain area in the cave.
Not only was the figure of the monk frozen within the formation sucked into the spirit gourd space, but all the formation flags that arranged the formation were also sucked into the spirit gourd space.
After absorbing all this, the emerald green spirit gourd swayed and disappeared from the void.
Not long after, a small flying sword came and struck out towards the void, and then the flying sword disappeared.
The appearance and disappearance of this flying sword seemed to have no effect.
But if someone is lucky enough to find this cave, they will find that all traces of the Lihen Sect monk who fled here, such as setting up formations, taking elixirs, adjusting his breath and recovering, have completely disappeared.
What also disappeared naturally included the snowflakes that fell silently, the spiritual gourd that cleaned up the mess, etc.
It's cleaner than being licked by a dog.
Compared to these three people, there are fourteen Lihen cult members in the Canyon Spiritual Land whose strength has all reached the level of pill formation.
Looking at the entire Lihen Sect in the Five Realms, these fourteen people are undoubtedly figures standing on the top of the tower.
The cultivation of two people has even reached the late stage of pill formation, and they are both at the seventh level of pill formation.
Most of the other characters are in the middle stage of pill formation, and the few who are in the early stage of pill formation are basically at the second or third level of pill formation.
But when they didn't react immediately when the god's warning came and the crimson light appeared, their outcome was already doomed.
These fourteen Lihen Cult members at the Dan Formation level easily entered his spiritual gourd space and became his "collection".
Yes, collection.
No matter here or in the four realms, Meng Zhou was very careful to spare the lives of all the members of the Lihen Cult who had reached the level of pill formation and did not kill them.
He has no choice but to catch the Dan-Jie cultivator like he is catching a chicken, but that is just his "abnormality" and has nothing to do with the Dan-Jie cultivator itself, and the value of the Dan-Jie cultivator has not been devalued because of this.
To Meng Zhou, these Lihen Sect-formed elixirs were almost a precious and non-renewable resource.
After all, if it weren't for Lihen's teaching of Jiedan, it would still be very stressful for him to treat the other party as a resource without any psychological burden.
After catching all the alchemy monks in the area, Meng Zhou's eyes fell on the six statues.
Three of them are statues of the God of Lihen, and the other three have different shapes. One of them is ordinary, but it showed its "unusual" just now.
The materials of these six Lihen statues, including the limbs and torso, are all third-level high-grade spiritual materials.
And the most important part, the head, is made of all top-grade third-level spiritual materials.
But compared to other Lihen statues he had seen, this was not the biggest difference.
The divine will that Meng Zhou "saw" around the other third-level Lihen statues was ownerless and relatively pure and harmless.
At least, at the first moment of contact, there will not be a fatal counterattack to the person who touches it.
In comparison, although the divine will around these six statues is more intense, it is "owned".
When Meng Zhou's eyes fell on the ordinary statue that had emitted a crimson light as a warning not long ago, he had just thought about scraping away the rich divine power from around the statue.
Three rays immediately flew out of the statue's mouth and nose.
Three rays as red as blood ignored the barrier of the wall and arrived in front of Meng Zhou in an instant.
Before the ray could reach him, a strong bloody aura and a mountain-like sea of murderous intent surged towards Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou, who originally wanted to fight head-on with him, gave up the idea in an instant.
These three rays hit Meng Zhou almost simultaneously.
In an instant, Meng Zhou's body turned into a pool of dirty blood under these three rays.
However, the amount of dirty blood is much smaller than that of a normal adult. ()
