The incident on Kongming Island became more and more intense. It is said that the Yuan Gua ancestor of the Crystal Palace was accidentally besieged to death on Kongming Island because he had offended the public. Later, Li Shiqian, the second descendant of the Crystal Palace, went crazy for revenge and went to Kongming Island. The island massacred the monks who entered the island.
There were many Dharma monks present at the time, but no one could block his attack. It was not until the great monks from the Guangfa Sect, Talisman Pavilion, Liuyun Sect, and Yulin Sect came after hearing the news that they joined forces to restrain the direct descendant of the Crystal Palace. disciple.
No one could afford to offend the Crystal Palace. Although there were more than a dozen monks who died under Li Shiqian, many of whom were experts in formations from various sects, they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out. In the end, several great monks had no choice but to notify the Crystal Palace. Leaders from the South China Sea.
When the great monks from these four sects arrived here, not only did the nine foundation formations of Kongming Island collapse and Kongming Island completely become an open place, but they also naturally came for Wen Yuan, and Nanyu Patriarch fell. The appearance of the two Lingbao Duan, no matter which one is enough to attract them to show up.
As for another large sect, Hong Hai Pavilion, the current situation no longer qualifies it as a large sect. Therefore, although the Kongming Island incident shocked the entire South China Sea cultivation world, not a single monk from Hong Hai Pavilion appeared.
The Kongming Relic Formation was finally preserved at the strong request of the formation masters of each faction, and the spiritual veins on the island were not removed. Unfortunately, the nine basic formations collapsed and dissipated. The formation masters of each faction tried their best to preserve it. Seventy-eight out of ten of the formations were left, and the rest were either implicated in the collapse of the basic formations and perished, or were damaged in previous battles.
At this time, the Yuwen family has not yet heard the news that Wen Yuan has fallen for more than ten years. The entire South China Sea cultivation world is looking for Wen Yuan, the master of the formation, with wide eyes. There are even rumors that the Five Elements Sect has heard about the appearance of the two spiritual treasures. After the news, people were sent to the southern coast of Central-Earth.
At this time, Lu Ping had already changed his appearance, and then lowered his cultivation level all the way to the late stage of forging pills. Then he spent a lot of spiritual stones, using the excuse of traveling to Middle-earth, to get the magic spell from Talisman Pavilion. In exchange for a spot in the ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
With Lu Ping's current attainments in the "Hidden Heaven and Crossing the Sea Art", not many monks in the late Dharma phase can detect his true face. The details of his previous fight with Nanyu Patriarch in Kong Minghai have never been revealed.
After the light of the teleportation array flashed, Lu Ping was already in the Xiangyun Ancient City in the southern part of Middle-earth when he reappeared.
Xiangyun Ancient City is a city where monks gather, and it is also the residence of a large sect. The name of this sect is Xiangyun City. It is a sect that is closely related to Lingyun Valley, one of the five holy places in China. It is also a talisman. Pavilion and the destination of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array in China.
Xiangyun Ancient City is nearly 20,000 miles southeast of Lingyun Valley, and to their south, the Endless Mountains demarcate the territory from northwest to southeast with the Central Plains along this general direction. This is roughly how Yulingyun Valley and Xiangyun Ancient City appear. a parallel line.
The parallel line of the Endless Mountains continues to draw southeast until it reaches the edge of the South China Sea, where the mouth of the Qingming River is located.
On the other side of the estuary of the Qingming River is the residence of Chongtian Pavilion, another holy place in China.
Lingyun Valley, Xiangyun Ancient City, and Chongtian Pavilion roughly form the same straight line from northwest to southeast, facing the endless mountains.
All the way up the estuary of the Qingming River, in the downstream stage of the Qingming River, it happens to be roughly along the straight line from Chongtian Pavilion to Xiangyun Ancient City, and then turns north near Xiangyun Ancient City, all the way to the hinterland of China, about 90 kilometers away.
Near Xuan Tower, this is the middle reaches of the Qingming River. Once here, it turns west, all the way to the south of the Western Wasteland, the source of the Qingming River. This section is its upper reaches.
Lu Ping's original plan was to take a swim in the Qingming River, feel the momentum of the largest river in Middle-earth, and use it to perfect the "Dajiangdong Sword Art" that had been modified by Lu Ping. The only pity was that he appeared here in Xiangyun Ancient City.
, there is a feeling of being neither up nor down.
Lu Ping, who had just come out of the teleportation array, immediately heard someone making noise in the teleportation array on the other side. When Lu Ping looked over, he realized that this teleportation array was used to teleport from Xiangyun City.
"Why, why is it that the teleportation array is closed at this time, and I and others are still rushing to Wuding Sect to save people? Your delay will cost people's lives!"
"That's right, I'm still anxious for the ancestor of my sect to come back to life. It's too late. Can you afford the punishment?"
"Hurry up and open the teleportation array. We are still anxious to meet our friends. Is it possible for us to fly all the way there?"
"I'll increase the price. Is it possible to get five more high-grade spiritual stones?"
…
"Why is the teleportation array coming to Xiangyun City still open, but the teleportation array leaving is closed?"
Everyone suddenly fell silent. When everyone looked at the teleportation array where Lu Ping came from, they found that the teleportation array there was still open, and the rays of teleportation light never stopped.
Could it be...
"I guess everyone has already guessed it!"
A monk in the middle stage of the teleportation array suddenly appeared in the sky above the teleportation array, followed by three monks in the early stage of the teleportation array. Seeing that the monks outside the teleportation array had noticed this, the monk continued: "There have always been rules in the world of cultivation.
If there is an attack by a beast wave or a siege by demons, the teleportation array is allowed to enter but not to exit, what else do you have to say?"
The monks near the teleportation array were silent for a while at first, and then burst into commotion. Some complained, some cursed, and some remained silent.
A loud shout came from the crowd, saying: "Senior Gu Xing, is it the tide of beasts from Endless Mountain that has descended, or is it the Mara besieging the city?"
The noise in the crowd suddenly stopped, and then the ancestor of Gu Xing in the middle stage of the Dharma Stage was heard to say in a deep voice: "It's a disaster caused by Mo Luo. It's less than half a day away from Xiangyun City, so everyone should hurry up and do it right now."
Prepare to stick to Xiangyun City! Of course, if there is really an emergency, you can still escape from the city now, but you have to be careful about the traces of the Mara army on the way."
Although everyone had angry faces, they still cursed and walked away quickly. Another teleportation formation coming to Xiangyun City was still open. From time to time, one or several monks would appear after flashes of light. Soon they also knew about Mo Luo.
During the siege of the city, with the news that the teleportation array was closed, everyone could not help but curse their bad luck, but no one complained that Xiangyun City had closed the teleportation array that left.
Whether you are a human or a demon, a mortal or a monk, it is your nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!
When the Moluo disaster broke out in the past, whenever a sect or city was besieged by Moluo, many monks would try to leave through the teleportation array to avoid the siege of Moluo's army, and then return after the siege of Moluo's army was lifted.
, to avoid possible disasters, or simply to destroy this place by Mara, I am even more grateful for my decision to leave in the first place.
However, it is undeniable that when the Mara army besieged them, these monks who escaped through the teleportation array not only led more people to leave, weakening the defensive strength, but also shaken the monks who stayed to resist the Mara invasion.
determination.
Later, some sect forces would forcibly close the teleportation array when the invasion of Mara came, cutting off the monks' way of escaping, forcing these people to stay and join in the action of resisting Mara's invasion.
It's just that this method of coercion was opposed by many people at the beginning. Although they were helpless for a while, those who survived the invasion of Mara began to become hostile to this sect, and those who fell
People's relatives and friends even blamed the sects who adopted this method for the cause of their demise, causing them to suffer all kinds of hostile revenge.
Even though these people all knew that in the crisis situation at that time, cutting off the teleportation array was the only way to survive, but everyone understood the idea, but it was still unacceptable for people to take action when it was actually their turn.
Until another sect had no choice but to use the method of cutting off the teleportation array again when the disaster of Mo Luo came. At that time, it aroused the resistance of the monks who stayed in the sect, and started a war before the army of Mo Luo arrived.
There was a life-and-death internal strife, and finally the entire army was annihilated under the siege of Mara's army.
Afterwards, the five holy places in Middle-earth, the Yuwen Family, and the Crystal Palace of the East China Sea jointly announced to the cultivating community that when the great catastrophe of Moluo comes, they support all the families and factions to cut off the teleportation array, and no one is allowed to enter but not to leave. The enemy must share the same hatred. If there is any difficulty,
It means becoming an enemy to the entire cultivation world.
The truth is told by the background, and the atmosphere is cultivated by the strength!
The Six Holy Lands and the Yuwen Family joined forces to support those sects who cut off the teleportation array when the Mo Luo army was besieging them, and used thunderous means to punish those individuals, groups, and forces who started internal strife when the crisis came and failed to escape.
After that, the atmosphere of the entire cultivation world suddenly changed. This kind of rule of being allowed in and not allowed out when a crisis comes, and sharing the same hatred with the enemy was finally established. When this happens again, the trapped monks can only blame their own bad luck.
.
However, this so-called "no entry, no exit" rule only refers to the teleportation array. If there are monks who are willing to escape before Mo Luo completely forms a siege, these sect forces cannot stop them.
However, unless there is an urgent matter, or they have absolute confidence in their own strength, no one will escape from the city on the eve of the Mara's siege, because then they are very likely to fall into the demons coming from all directions.
Surrounded by Luo's army.
At this time, Lu Ping Shi Shiran left Xiangyun Ancient City after the monks at the ancient city gate tried to persuade him to no avail.
At the same time, outside a dense forest hundreds of miles south of Xiangyun Ancient City, a team of Moluo wandering southeast was suddenly caught off guard by an attack in the dense forest.
The attack was ferocious but not fatal. Mo Luo's team was instantly dispersed, and then retreated towards the north as if they were being driven away. That direction was where Xiangyun City was to be surrounded by Mo Luo's army.
