Volume 5 Sword Qi Jiuxiao 1026 The storm is about to come
When the two of them entered Golden Light City, since all the tokens and other items on Xiao Wu's body were in the hands of the evil ghost army, they spent a lot of effort before they were able to enter the city smoothly.
The moment he stepped into Golden Light City, Xiao Wu bit his lips lightly, and an inexplicable complex color flashed in his eyes.
It has been nearly ten years since she last left on a mission. The people she traveled with had already turned into ghosts, and she was almost attacked. It was truly the most dangerous experience in her monastic career. Now she is back in the city again.
, which made him feel like he was in another world.
"Senior Sister Xiaowu, I need to report to the elders about Lingjiu Slope. Can your body still hold on?" Liu Ming glanced at Xiaowu and asked.
"Okay, no problem." Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said with a smile.
Liu Ming nodded, waved his hand, and a ball of black energy enveloped the two of them, flying towards the main tower in the city.
In the hall of the central main tower.
"I've met two elders!" Liu Ming bowed to the boy Haoyue and the elder named Gu in front of him, and Xiaowu also bowed.
"You two don't need to be polite. We have just received the report. You have made another great contribution this time, nephew Liu, and Xiaowu has made you suffer during this period." Boy Haoyue said with a smile on his face.
Liu Ming smiled and said nothing.
"Thank you for your concern, elder." Xiao Wu replied gratefully.
She had already heard from Liu Ming that the reason why he was able to sneak into Lingjiu Slope successfully this time was because Haoyue Boy secretly borrowed his broken army basket, which played a big role.
"Senior Nephew Liu, why did you only rescue the Fifth Junior Nephew Xiao? Could it be that all the other disciples have been killed?" Elder Gu asked with a twinkling look.
"The disciple was about to report this to you two. The ghost army stronghold in Lingjiupo looked similar to the ordinary ghost army stronghold. However, after the disciple sneaked into it, he saw..." Liu Ming 1510 will be in Lingjiupo.
What they saw inside Jiupo Mountain and what Xiao Wu mentioned were told to Haoyue Tongzi and his two brothers.
"Such a thing happened, turning the disciples of various sects into zombie-like monsters..." Elder Gu and Boy Haoyue looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.
From the analysis of the intelligence they received, they had already guessed that Lingjiu Slope should be a magic circle experimental base for the evil ghost legion, but they did not expect that the situation there would be so sensational.
"The disciples have fought against zombies who have lost their minds. According to Senior Sister Xiaowu, most of them were just monks in the crystallization stage before. After becoming zombies, their bodies are invulnerable. Their strength has greatly improved, and they are no longer much worse than ordinary true elixir realm monks.
Yes." Liu Ming continued.
"When I was imprisoned, I accidentally heard the ghost soldiers guarding me say that they called those zombie monks mandrill ghosts." Xiao Wu also intervened to explain.
"Mandrill ghost?" Boy Haoyue was startled when he heard this. He glanced at the elder named Gu. The latter shook his head, obviously he had never heard of this name.
"How many monks are imprisoned there?" Elder Gu asked in a deep voice.
"Disciple took a quick look, there should be around a hundred people." Liu Ming recalled the situation inside Lingjiu Slope and said.
"When I was arrested a few years ago, the number was not that large. It has only gradually increased in recent years." Xiaowu thought for a while and added.
When the boy Haoyue and the elder named Gu heard this, their expressions became a little heavier.
"Senior Nephew Liu has been working hard these days. Let's go back and rest first. Also, Junior Nephew Xiaowu. I see that your breath is not stable, so you should recuperate in the city for a while." After pondering for a while, Boy Haoyue gave the order.
road.
"Yes, disciple, please leave." Liu Ming bowed and he and Xiaowu quickly walked out of the tower.
Seeing Liu Ming and his two figures walking out, the faces of Boy Haoyue and Elder Gu turned completely gloomy.
"I didn't expect that a small Lingjiu Slope could hide so many secrets. If I had known this, I should have sent a few teams to work with Liu Ming. Maybe we could also rescue some disciples who have not yet been ghosted." Haoyue.
The boy said with some annoyance.
"Even if we send people over now, I'm afraid the security there has already been strengthened, and the opportunity will be fleeting." The elder surnamed Gu also sighed.
"I don't know if similar situations exist in other ghost army strongholds." Haoyue Boy thought for a while and then said.
"Probably not. The number of people Liu Ming mentioned is roughly similar to the number of elite disciples who have disappeared from our four legions in recent years. Moreover, the thick and unusually dense Yin Qi vortex they discovered should be a large one according to my estimation.
These evil ghost legions should not be able to build a second Yin Gathering Array of this scale." The elder surnamed Gu said slowly with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
"No matter what, please report this matter to Master Yao first." Haoyue Boy said.
Elder Gu naturally nodded in agreement.
After leaving the tower, Liu Ming and Xiao Wu quickly returned to their living area in the city.
"Senior sister, how do you feel now?" Liu Ming asked with concern in mid-air.
"It's no longer a serious problem. Although I suffered a lot this time, fortunately, there was no danger. And after staying in that environment for a long time, the mana in my body has been purified a lot. I vaguely feel that I have broken through the bottleneck.
The opportunity has been found." Xiao Wu said with a long breath.
"Could it be... Haha, I would like to congratulate Senior Sister." Liu Ming was startled when he heard this, and then said with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more words and then separated.
Liu Ming quickly returned to Team 7's cave and started practicing behind closed doors.
There was silence in the secret room of the cave.
On a futon in the middle, Liu Ming sat cross-legged, his whole body wrapped in black mist, forming a large ball of about ten feet as black as ink.
From time to time, strands of black threads converge towards the ball from all directions, making the ball grow larger and thicker.
After a long time, a soft sound broke the silence in the room.
The entire black ball then disintegrated and turned into billowing black air. In the black air, five fog dragons and five fog tigers circled around Liu Ming, making bursts of dragon roars and tiger roars.
The next moment, all the fog dragons and fog tigers once again turned into wisps of black energy and submerged into their heavenly spirit caps, disappearing without a trace.
He opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. Although his cultivation was not improved, the movement of his magic power was much smoother than when he first entered the evil ghost realm, and he could clearly sense that the magic power in the spiritual sea was also flowing.
More and more pure.
"It seems that the peace of the evil ghost realm is coming to an end." Suddenly, Liu Ming touched his chin and showed a thoughtful expression.
He also briefly read the contents of the information jade slip he retrieved from the Jushan Fortress last time. It showed the distribution map of the evil ghost army's strongholds in various places, as well as the strength of each stronghold.
He could roughly guess what the sect wanted from this information.
He keenly felt the pressure of an approaching storm. Before that, he must increase his strength as much as possible.
…
As Liu Ming guessed, in the following time, the Golden Light Army and the armies of the other three major sects began to receive frequent instructions from their superiors, and elite teams were sent out from time to time to attack some of the outskirts of the Evil Ghost Legion.
stronghold.
The four major legions were looking for peripheral strongholds with relatively weak garrison strength. Each stronghold only had at most one or two true elixir-level evil ghost commanders stationed there. Facing targeted attacks by the elite squads of the four major legions, there were no casualties.
It was a heavy blow, and dozens of strongholds were captured in a short period of time.
However, the Evil Ghost Legion also responded quickly to this. Instead of retreating to defend, it began to mobilize its troops on a large scale. Taking advantage of the main force of the four legions being dispatched, they desperately began to carry out attacks on the outer fortresses of the four legions.
Attacks continued day and night.
This unexpected situation surprised the senior officials of the four major legions and put them in an extremely passive situation. After some discussion, they had to temporarily give up the intention of attacking the Evil Ghost Legion's stronghold and instead focus on defense.
Fortunately, the Evil Ghost Legion did not seem to intend to penetrate too deeply into the human race's sphere of influence, and immediately abandoned the captured outer fortresses, which made the top leaders of the four major sects relax a little.
Even so, the situation in Golden Light City gradually became tense, and the seventh team naturally began to receive various tasks frequently and kept running around in various places in the Evil Ghost Road.
The seats in the team originally vacated by the disappearance of the hunched-backed man and the hunchbacked old man were naturally taken by others.
…
In a rocky area tens of thousands of miles away from Golden Light City, a blue stone tower more than a hundred feet high stands here. A slowly rotating black ball is suspended on the top of the tower, flashing with a faint black light.
This is an important intelligence transfer base for the Evil Ghost Legion.
At this moment, a chaotic battle is going on around the stone tower.
Hundreds of demon army soldiers have already surrounded the stone tower in the middle.
The legion is headed by two true elixir realm evil ghost commanders, and eight evil ghost captains in the crystallization stage each lead a square formation to guard the eight directions. Most of the square formations are low-level ghosts in the condensation stage and spiritual disciple stage.
Death.
Liu Ming's seventh team, and the other two teams, with a total of more than 20 people, were surrounding them from all directions at this moment, offering various spiritual weapons that flashed with light and turned into pieces of colorful light.
, and blasted away towards the evil ghost army in the middle.
For a time, the sounds of fighting and mourning could be heard one after another, and wherever the rays of light passed, the dark sky was illuminated brightly.
It seems that in terms of combat strength, the human side has three true elixirs and nearly twenty monks in the late crystallization and false elixir stages, which have an advantage. However, the tight defense of the evil ghost army's square formation is also extraordinary, and it has blocked Liu's attack.
Ming and others launched several waves of attacks.
To the southwest of the blue stone tower, Liu Ming suddenly jumped into the air, activated his one-handed sword technique, and swayed the lavender Kunlun Sword in front of him. A huge purple sword light of more than ten feet suddenly appeared, and struck fiercely.
