The old man surnamed Yao had no idea how many years he had lived, and his eyelashes were probably all empty. He smiled when he heard the words, but said nothing.
"No matter what, we shoulder the sect's instructions and guard the entrance to the Evil Ghost Path. It's best to be careful." The white-haired man from the Tiangong Sect said calmly.
Everyone else nodded, only the long-browed young man from Mo Xuan Sect was a little disapproving, but under the stern look of the beautiful middle-aged woman beside him, he didn't say much.
"By the way, Brother Yao and Brother Wei, but I don't know where senior Huo Ye from your sect is now? Since the evil ghost army dares to attack our four major cities this time, I'm afraid they have something to rely on. If Xuan Gui takes action in person,
We alone cannot resist it." The white-haired man from the Tiangong Sect suddenly raised his eyebrows and continued.
Hearing this, other people also showed cautious expressions.
"Don't worry, everyone, Elder Huo Ye of our sect is near the Black Peak Valley at the moment. If the other party's Tongxuan monk takes action, he will definitely not let it go." Standing next to the old man surnamed Yao, the gray-haired middle-aged man has never spoken.
, said suddenly.
"If that's the case, I'll be relieved. The war is tense now, so we can't talk much, so we'll go down first." The white-haired man nodded, raised his arm slightly, and moved the cyan light wall on the left side of where he was.
, dispersed silently, turning into dots of cyan crystal light and dissipating in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the handsome man in Confucian robes from Haoran Academy and the beautiful middle-aged woman from Moxuan Sect in the middle and right also said their goodbyes one after another. After making a seal with one hand, the two cyan light walls where they stood collapsed and disappeared.
Seeing this, the old man surnamed Yao and the gray-haired middle-aged man exited the magic circle. At the same time, they muttered a few spells. The circular magic circle on the ground dimmed.
Calm returned to the room again.
The old man surnamed Yao frowned, turned sideways and was about to say something to the gray-haired man beside him. There was a rush of footsteps approaching from far away, and he quickly walked to the door of the room.
"Report to the two elders. We have just received news that the fortress outside the city has once again been suddenly attacked by a large group of evil ghosts. The attack was fierce and two fortresses have fallen." A voice rang outside the door.
The old man surnamed Yao and the gray-haired middle-aged man were both startled and quickly opened the door. The person outside the door was none other than the middle-aged deacon surnamed Gu, who looked very anxious.
"Tell us the details first." The old man surnamed Yao said with a serious expression.
…
At the same time, thousands of miles northeast of Jinguang City, halfway up a steep mountain, the 18th Fortress of the Jinguang Army is located here.
At this moment, black mist was lingering outside the entire fortress, covering most of the sky.
In the black air, there were densely packed evil ghosts dressed in simple armor, surrounding the entire fortress.
For a moment, roars and explosions intertwined and resounded throughout the entire mountain peak.
Under the command of the evil ghost captain, dense attacks rained down from all directions and landed on a protective wall of green light that shone outside the entire fortress.
Although the protective wall of light flashed with green light, it still blocked all attacks.
In the fortress, dozens of garrisoned disciples held formation flags with nervous expressions, desperately pouring mana into them. The formation flags shot out beams of light and merged into the protective wall outside.
On a high platform among the disciples, there was a man wearing the uniform of a squad leader of the Second Brigade of the Golden Light Army. He was holding a square communication array in his hand and was speaking solemnly.
"How many evil ghost legions are besieging the fortress now?" A voice came from the array.
"At least there are more than a thousand people. The leader of the team is the evil ghost commander of the three-headed true elixir realm... If this continues, the defense formation of the fortress will soon be unable to hold up. We urgently request military rescue." The middle-aged man said urgently.
said.
"Hold on a little longer, the two main teams are on their way and they will arrive in just one stick of incense..."
As a result, as soon as the words in the array plate fell, a loud noise came from outside, the entire fortress shook violently, and some cracks appeared somewhere on the protective light wall.
When the dozens of disciples in the fortress saw this situation, their faces turned pale.
Outside the fortress, above the ghost soldiers of the evil ghost army besieging the fortress, three large evil ghost leaders were suspended in the sky.
"You two go and work harder to get rid of these humans quickly. The order from above is not to leave a single person alive!" The leader, a single-horned evil ghost commander with a ferocious face, looked at the protective light wall below.
He glanced at the cracks and said coldly.
The other two evil ghost commanders responded. One of them, a black-faced commander carrying a bow bag, took a step forward and rubbed his hands together. A burst of black light suddenly appeared on his hands, and a dark long bow appeared in his hands.
.
Several jet-black arcs of electricity suddenly shot out from the bow, and the sound of thunder continued.
But when he saw his other hand gently reaching behind his back, he took out a two-foot-long red arrow from his bow bag, skillfully placed it on the bow, and slowly opened the bow and aimed it.
to the fortress below.
Black electric arcs and red flames intertwined and fused on the bow and arrow, with a loud rumbling sound, and a huge amount of spiritual pressure suddenly emerged, spreading like a huge wave in the sea.
Another green-faced and fanged evil ghost leader flipped his hand and pulled out a nine-ringed ghost-headed sword filled with gray energy. The sound of shrill ghost cries could be faintly heard from the trembling ring of the sword, and a cold breath came from the blade.
Spread out.
In the fortress, a middle-aged man in the true elixir realm sensed two huge waves of spiritual pressure that suddenly appeared outside, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
Rumble!
A huge lightning arrow hit the cyan light shield outside the fortress. The scarred light shield flashed crazily for two times before finally collapsing with a crash.
Immediately afterwards, a gray sword dozens of feet long struck the fortress heavily in a flash of light.
Without the protective light shield, the fortress could not withstand such a huge sword light. The entire fortress was suddenly split in half by a sword from the middle.
Suddenly, the fortress built halfway up the mountain shook and rocks flew everywhere.
Seeing this, the densely packed evil ghosts immediately let out excited screams and surged towards the gap below like a tide, flooding the entire fortress in the blink of an eye.
…
To the south of Heifeng Valley, there is a gray hilly area, with rolling barren mountains and ridges covering nearly ten thousand miles.
Somewhere in the hills, there is a fortress with only ruins left, sitting alone in it, as if it had just been destroyed not long ago.
Inside and outside the fortress, rubble and rubble were scattered all over the ground, including the corpses of monks wearing khaki armor. Some of them were already mutilated, with broken arms and limbs, and blood flowing all over the ground.
In addition, there are many remains of giant puppets scattered everywhere.
Similar scenes were staged from time to time in the area outside the main city of the four major legions.
It didn't take long for the senior elders of the four legions to receive reports one after another. In less than half a day, several fortresses of the four legions were captured by the ghost army with lightning speed, leaving no one alive.
Leave.
…
In a sealed room in the main city of Golden Light City, the old man surnamed Yao and the gray-haired middle-aged man once again stood side by side in front of the blue-light circular magic circle, with their brows furrowed and looking worried.
"Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, we met again." On a light wall on the left side in front of the two of them, a white-haired middle-aged man from the Tiangong Sect said with a bitter smile.
"The actions of the evil ghost army are unpredictable and hard to guard against. It seems that there is no need to say anything more. The attack of the ghost army that everyone is facing is almost the same. Brother Yao, do you have any good suggestions over there?" On the right wall, Haoran said
The handsome man from the academy said with a gloomy face.
"Until now, we have not been able to fully find out how many troops the other party has used. We can only temporarily use defense as offense, and wait until the situation becomes clearer before making other plans." The old man surnamed Yao shook his head and said.
"I also fully agree with this point. We can consider abandoning some small fortresses, shrinking the defense line, and concentrating our strength on the main city and nearby large fortresses." said the beautiful middle-aged Moxuan Sect woman with a bright wall in the middle.
, the long-browed young man beside him did not know where he had gone.
"I agree with this proposal, and I suggest that our four main cities should not mobilize troops for support as a last resort, lest the other party attack in the east. The ghost army has never been suitable for protracted warfare. We should stay calm and wait for a good opportunity to counterattack.
." The white-haired middle-aged man from Tiangong Sect said after thinking for a while.
"Since everyone has already reached an agreement and I don't have any objections, let's proceed as follows." After thinking about it for a while, the old man surnamed Yao nodded.
The handsome man from Haoran Academy naturally had no objections.
With a silent flash of green light, three walls of green light disappeared in front of them.
"Brother Yao, if we all stick to the stronghold, Taitian Fortress will be completely exposed to the ghost army. Although this fortress is located in the middle of our four main cities, and so far, no large numbers of ghost armies have been found.
But I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. After all, once this place is captured, we will be completely isolated and trapped in a passive situation. Once we are blocked by the ghost army, we may not be able to exchange information like this." When the two exited the secret room,
The gray-haired middle-aged man suddenly spoke.
"Of course I know this. But now that we are in the light and the ghost army is in the dark, this kind of situation is inevitable. Compared with this, the safety of the main city of Jinguang is the most important. In addition, our four legions have already taken precautions against this.
I have temporarily dispatched Cao Changhe there, and other sects have also sent reinforcements there. If there is a ghost army attacking Taitian, there is no need to worry too much." The old man surnamed Yao nodded and said.
"It turns out that Brother Yao has already made arrangements, so I'm relieved. If there are reinforcements, with the defensive capabilities of Taitian Fortress, as long as Xuan Gui doesn't take action himself, there will be no problem in sustaining it for a period of time." The gray-haired middle-aged man heard.
He said, and then showed a relieved look.
