Han Li and the little old man walked out of the house together. Xiao Cuier, who was guarding the courtyard gate, also heard a series of huge bells and couldn't help but look at the little old man in panic.
The little old man frowned when he saw this, walked over a few steps and whispered something, and then the girl's expression returned to normal.
Then the little old man greeted Han Li, and the two of them flew into the sky with their weapons and headed straight for the meeting hall.
Along the way, Han Li saw many monks flying in the same direction, but most of them were disciples in the Qi refining stage, which showed that the strength in the valley was greatly insufficient.
Presumably when the demon attack really comes, even if there is a large protective formation to assist the defense, they will not be able to hold on for long.
The two people with sullen faces were speechless on the way, and soon they arrived in front of the huge stone temple.
At this time, thousands of monks gathered in front of the palace gate, but they were all stopped by the guards at the door. Only monks above the foundation-building stage were allowed to enter to discuss matters.
Han Li and the little old man naturally had enough status, so they walked in silently under the complicated eyes of others.
As soon as he entered the hall of the meeting hall, Han Li was stunned!
Because there was no chaotic scene like ants on a hot pot as imagined, the nearly one hundred monks present were silent, all staring at the person in charge with respectful expressions.
Of course, this person is not the nominal head of Huang Maple Valley, Zhong Lingdao, because the head of Zhong Da himself is standing aside honestly. Sitting in the upright position is an old man in brocade clothes with white beard and hair.
The old man's face was sallow, his small eyes were dim and lifeless, and he was really ugly.
But for some reason, when Han Li saw this person, his heart skipped a beat, and his hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.
"What's going on?" Han Li was shocked.
When the old man saw Han Li and the little old man coming in, he just glanced at them lightly.
But this glance made Han Li feel cold all over, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had seen through all the hidden secrets, and his expression changed drastically.
"Hey! You are practicing well in the cultivation of your soul. Have you practiced any techniques to train your soul?" After looking at Han Li, the old man asked lightly with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
When Han Li heard this, he was filled with fear and fear.
But what made him even more incredible was that he could not sense the existence of spiritual power from the old man. This showed that the cultivation level of the two was very different, which would lead to this situation. However, Li Huayuan and other monks in the Danjie stage did not give any advice.
He had felt this way before, and it was rare that this person was...
Han Li thought about it for a moment, and became horrified. His anger had long been forgotten, and he replied with great respect:
"Senior, I have indeed practiced some skills related to Yuan Shen. Senior, you really have a bright eye!" Han Li secretly praised the old man.
After hearing what Han Li said, the old man in golden clothes smiled faintly, and then waved his hand gently.
Han Li and the little old man immediately stood in the crowd knowingly.
After waiting for about another meal, a dozen more foundation-building monks arrived one after another.
At this time, Zhong Lingdao respectfully said to the old man:
"Ancestor, all the existing foundation-building monks in the valley have arrived. And Master Huang is currently at Tianshi Peak. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while."
The old man in Jinyi frowned slightly after hearing this, and immediately gave the order with a normal expression:
"Forget it if he doesn't come. Saving people now is like putting out a fire. There's no need to wait for him. Let's start first."
"Yes, it's what the ancestor said!" Zhong Lingdao agreed obediently.
The old man in Jinyi laughed after hearing this, but said nothing.
"Brothers, let me introduce to you. This is the ancestor Linghu whom everyone has heard about for a long time. The old group reached the Nascent Soul stage three hundred years ago and is the only supreme elder in our sect. Now our sect has encountered an unprecedented situation.
In the crisis of annihilation, the ancestor will arrange everything from now on."
Zhong Lingdao said a few words about the situation and then consciously stepped back to one side.
Although most of the people below had guessed the identity of the old man in Jinyi, after hearing these words, there was still a commotion, and they all looked at the ancestor Linghu with strange eyes!
This is the only Nascent Soul monk in Huang Maple Valley in the past thousand years. It is said that he is nearly 800 years old and can be called the immortal man of Huang Maple Valley!
Seeing the chaotic situation below, Ancestor Linghu coughed slightly, and the hall immediately became quiet. Who dares not to give this ancestor face?
"Since you have heard the Dragon Bell, I won't say any nonsense."
"Now the coalition forces of the seven factions have been defeated in the front. Our monks suffered heavy casualties. Although they reluctantly re-established camp on the second line of defense, failure is inevitable."
As soon as the old man said these words, many monks in the hall suddenly changed their expressions. Han Li and the little old man looked at each other with complicated expressions and could only remain speechless.
"Ancestor, how is this possible? Hasn't the day of the decisive battle between us and the devil not arrived yet? There is still more than a month left!" A middle-aged monk couldn't help but stand up and asked.
"It's because those people in front had the same idea as you, that's why they were attacked and defeated by the demonic people!" The old man in Jinyi sank his face and scolded him rudely. The middle-aged man's face turned red as he spoke.
After a salute, he hurriedly retreated.
Seeing the middle-aged monk end up like this, no one else would be ignorant. Therefore, although they were full of doubts in their hearts, they still listened quietly to what the ancestor Linghu said next.
"Actually, the failure of this battle cannot be entirely blamed on the people in charge not being careful enough and not guarding against the other party's deception, but because there were traitors among our seven factions. The people from Spirit Beast Mountain actually took advantage of the vigilance of one of their factions.
, privately opened the large formation outside and let the demonic people in, and this was the reason for such a huge defeat." The old man said, showing a bit of anger.
After hearing the words of the old man in Jinyi, many monks suddenly understood and immediately cursed at the monk from Spirit Beast Mountain. The scene was once again a bit chaotic.
"Okay, what's the use of talking about this now? The opponent is superior in skills, and we can only accept the defeat. The most important thing now is to prevent our sect from being wiped out. You must know that the remaining cultivators in front can only win two for us.
Three days. We must evacuate the Yue Kingdom as soon as possible." Ancestor Linghu said extremely calmly.
"Evacuate Vietnam?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. No one spoke. Everyone seemed to be shocked!
For these monks who were born and raised in Yue, it was too difficult to accept leaving Yue. For a while, no one even spoke up to echo the old man's words.
"What? You can't bear to part with me?" the old man said calmly, without any panic, as if he had anticipated this situation.
"Ancestor, it's rare that even you and other seniors in the Nascent Soul Stage can't repel the demonic path?" Finally, a young man in his thirties asked hesitantly.
"Of course, if we old guys join forces, we can easily destroy these demonic monks who are confronting you." The old man said without hesitation.
"Then why ancestor..."
"But don't forget, since the Six Demonic Sects have such a great reputation, how come they have so few Nascent Soul Stage monks? A few of us have already had several fights with the old guys among them. As a result, we
We are at a disadvantage. Therefore, the other party forced a few of us to swear a poisonous oath. Like them, we are not allowed to personally participate in this war. This war can only be limited to the level of the monks in the Danjie stage." Ancestor Linghu sighed lightly.
In one breath, he revealed an unexpected secret.
Han Li below suddenly realized why no Yuanying-level monks had appeared in the battle.
"If we don't move away, then the entire Yellow Maple Valley will be surrounded by people and they will be wiped out. Even if I only swear, I will not come to rescue you. Therefore, I have made up my mind that the entire sect must leave the Yue Kingdom. And not only our Yue Kingdom, but also the other five sects.
They will advance and retreat with us, so that when we reach a strange place, we can still make a comeback. When we become stronger, we can just take the Yue Kingdom back." Ancestor Linghu said with a sneer. Obviously withdrawing from the Yue Kingdom, for him
It's not something that is unacceptable.
Seeing what this ancestor said so resolutely, others did not dare to speak out even if they had different ideas, so they had no choice but to follow his instructions.
"Everything else is easy to handle, but there is one dangerous thing that needs someone to do." Ancestor Linghu suddenly said something that shocked everyone, and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
"The people I'm directing below will follow me to the back hall. The others will stay here and listen to Master Zhong's arrangements for evacuation!"
After saying this, the old man stood up from his seat and walked towards the people below with an expressionless face, leaving everyone still stunned.
"You, and you..."
The old man was not polite and pointed out with his fingers most of the people present, including Han Li and the little old man.
After ordering the people, the ancestor went to the back hall to mind his own business.
Han Li and the others became a little uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him obediently.
