After hearing Protector Yue's words, everyone present looked better, and many people's faces began to show signs of eagerness to try.
The sallow-faced young man carrying the ancient giant sword even licked his chapped lips.
"The battle situation on the front line is extremely critical, and there is no need to delay. You will set off early tomorrow morning, and everyone will gather here. If there are any who are afraid of absconding, they will have their cultivation level revoked and be expelled from the Holy Land!" Protector Yue said in a cold voice, and a biting chill quietly filled the air.
Cold to the bone.
"Yes!" Everyone responded smartly and agreed.
Some people who had some thoughts in their hearts also extinguished their thoughts at this moment.
After Protector Yue finished speaking, he turned around and left, and everyone in the hall also hurried out one by one.
Shi Mu's eyes flickered. He had nothing to be anxious about. He could just leave the affairs of the spiritual land to Qi Feng and others.
But before going to the front line, he must make adequate preparations.
With this thought in his mind, he walked towards the outside.
His steps were not fast, and a figure walked over from behind. It was the young man with a sallow back and a sword.
He walked very fast, and everyone around him moved out of the way. Shi Mu was immersed in his own thoughts and did not feel the sallow young man walking quickly behind him.
The sallow young man looked at Shi Mu, frowned slightly, and strode over without changing his steps.
The moment the two bodies passed each other, the handle of the knife on the sallow young man's back touched Shi Mu's shoulder.
There was a soft "bang" sound, and Shi Mu's body shook slightly. The body of the sallow young man was also shocked and staggered.
Shi Mu's face turned cold and he turned to look at the sallow young man.
This person happened to look over, his eyes as cold as a knife.
The two people's eyes met, and some sparks faintly flashed in the void.
"Okay, I didn't expect that among the thousands of disciples, there would be someone like you. I will remember you." The sallow young man looked at Shi Mu and said word by word.
Shi Mu snorted coldly, turned around and walked outside without even looking at the sallow young man.
Seeing this, the sallow young man's eyes were full of anger, and the clothes on his body moved without any wind, and a terrifying murderous aura suddenly erupted.
The expressions of the people nearby changed and they hurriedly took a few steps away.
However, Shi Mu, who bore the brunt of the attack, didn't seem to notice it at all. His steps didn't stop at all, and he walked towards the distance neither fast nor slow.
The sallow young man's eyes flashed slightly, and the murderous aura he exuded slowly subsided.
"Okay, very good!" He sneered a few times in a low voice, took a deep look at Shi Mu's back, the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and turned around to walk away.
Fighting is not allowed in the Xuanling Tower, so naturally he will not do it here.
Moreover, when Shi Mu faced his fierce murderous aura, his aura did not fluctuate at all. He was in such a state of mind that he did not dare to underestimate him.
Although he is aggressive and bloodthirsty, he is not reckless.
Everyone in the hall was talking about it. The sallow young man was an extremely famous figure among the thousand-year disciples. Everyone knew about it, but not many people knew about Shi Mu's name.
After asking each other for a while, Shi Mu's name was quickly revealed, and it was spread among the disciples for the first time in a thousand years.
"A few years ago, I heard that a hundred-year-old disciple passed the Illusion Demonic Path and became a thousand-year disciple. I didn't expect it to be this kid." The young man surnamed Gu, who was in the late stage of the Heavenly Rank, murmured.
"Huh, Xiong Tu has always been very vengeful and will retaliate. That Shi Mu didn't know whether to live or die, and went to offend this person. It seems that he is worried about his longevity. When he gets to the front line, Xiong Tu will definitely do everything possible to get revenge." A person next to the young man named Gu said.
"Really..." The young man surnamed Gu's eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
On the other side, the deer-antlered young man also looked at Shi Mu's retreating back, his eyes flickering slightly.
…
Shi Mu left the hall, not paying much attention to the conflict just now.
Although the sallow young man with a sword on his back is powerful, after he advanced to the heavenly realm, his strength has greatly improved, and he no longer has much fear of the existence of the heavenly realm.
He turned around and came to Shengdian Pavilion and landed on a stone platform.
The books here were all about the Dark Demons. Although he had occasionally read them before, he didn't pay much attention to them. Now that he was going to the front line tomorrow, he naturally needed to make up for it.
He pulled out a classic and started flipping through it quickly.
After two full hours, Shi Muzai raised his head.
He has read most of the books here, and has a deeper understanding of the Black Demon clan.
There is a magic word in the name of the black demon clan, which is definitely not a lie.
The black demon clan practices demonic arts, and they are proficient in sinister and evil arts and are extremely powerful.
Even so, the Black Demon Clan is not without restraints. The classics list many things that can restrain the Dark Demon Clan's magical secrets.
Shi Mu put down the book in his hand, turned around and flew outside.
Soon I came to Tongliufang and bought a lot of things. In addition to some pills, there was also a large pile of blank talismans.
Although he still has a lot of talismans on him, the more the better when he is on the front line.
An hour later, Shi Mu returned to the cave, found Qi Feng and others, told them about their upcoming trip to the front line, and gave instructions about the spiritual land.
Qi Feng and others were shocked and bowed to accept the order.
Shi Mu dismissed everyone, went to the secret room, and took out the blank talisman, ink and other items.
He didn't take action immediately, his eyes flickered as he looked into the distance.
"Floating City Fortress, I don't know what will happen..." He murmured to himself, full of expectations for the trip to the front line.
He shook his head, lowered his head and began to draw the talisman.
…
The night passed quickly.
The next day, before leaving, Shi Mu asked Qi Feng to secretly pay attention to the activities of Zhao Jian, Ling Feng and others. Then he said goodbye to everyone and headed towards the Xuanling Pagoda alone.
Soon, he arrived at yesterday's main hall, and was a little stunned.
At this moment, there were hundreds of people standing in the main hall. In addition to those thousand-year-old disciples yesterday, there were also five to six hundred people, most of whom seemed to be on the ground level.
Shi Mu made a brief observation and found that except for a small number of these people who were disciples of the Holy Land for hundreds of years, the rest seemed to come from the four major planets affiliated with the Holy Land.
"Are these people also going to the border?" He thought to himself, walked to the side of the main hall and stood there.
"Brother Shi!" came a slightly surprised voice.
Hearing this, Shi Mu looked up and saw a man with a hooked nose striding over, it was Qing Changtian.
"Brother Qing." Shi Mu nodded.
Qing Changtian looked at Shi Mu and said in a very envious tone: "Brother Shi Mu has indeed advanced to the heavenly position. I am really envious of you."
"Your cultivation level is improving quickly. By the way, could it be that you were summoned by the sect when you came here this time?" Shi Mu asked in a different direction.
"Hehe, that's not true. The Holy Land has no requirements for hundred-year disciples, but it also promises a lot of rewards, and can be exempted from the requirements of the competition and other tasks during the period, and retain the ranking. The key is that I also want to take this opportunity to go to the front line to experience something.
"Fan, after all, I have been practicing quietly in the sect, even if I practice for another fifty years, I may not be able to advance to the heavenly position." Qing Changtian continued to talk as always.
Shi Mu's eyes moved, and he quite agreed with what Qing Changtian said.
If he hadn't encountered repeated dangers and experienced life and death dangers several times, his cultivation progress would not have been so smooth.
The two of them were quite familiar acquaintances, so they stood aside and started chatting.
People came in one after another at the door, and after a quarter of an hour, the number of people in the hall reached nearly a thousand.
Immediately afterwards, Protector Yue strode into the hall, and the conversation in the hall suddenly stopped.
Protector Yue's eyes quickly swept into the palace, and Shi Mu suddenly felt startled.
Protector Yue's movements seemed casual, but he had a feeling that this person's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly glanced around these thousand-year-old disciples. Even though he was standing in the corner, he was still caught by his gaze.
"Not bad." Protector Yue nodded slightly and said.
Shi Mu was shocked and admired Protector Yue's magical power. With this seemingly random glance, he could be recognized by nearly a hundred people among more than a thousand people.
"Let's go, everyone come with me." Protector Yue said, then walked out of the hall first and flew towards the distance.
Seeing this, everyone, led by the Millennium Disciple, hurriedly followed.
Half an hour later, a large group of people arrived at the sect's teleportation hall.
Protector Yue did not enter the main teleportation hall, but walked into a side hall next to it.
Shi Mu and others followed in, their expressions changing slightly.
There is a huge teleportation array on the ground in the center of the side hall, which is more than two hundred feet in size. It has countless formation runes carved with golden lines, covering almost the entire side hall.
Shi Mu's face was full of shock. He had seen many teleportation formations, but he had never seen such a grand formation like the one in front of him.
The huge magic circle emits magnificent golden light, which converges into a huge golden light pillar and rises into the sky.
Around the magic circle, nine sun-level warlocks wearing spiritual robes stood. Each of them emitted strong magic power fluctuations. They muttered words, waved their hands and shot out magic spells one after another, integrating into the huge formation to maintain the operation of the formation.
These nine people should be the formation masters.
In addition to these nine people, there is also an old man in black clothes standing here.
This person exudes an extremely huge aura, and he is also a saint-level being.
"Protector Yue, you are here." Seeing the middle-aged man in blue robe come in, the old man in black robe nodded to him.
"Elder Yin, how are you preparing?" Protector Yue asked, looking at the golden teleportation array.
"Everything is ready." Elder Yin said.
Upon hearing this, Protector Yue nodded, turned to look at Shi Mu and others, and said, "All of you, stand within the range of the formation. Later, this formation will teleport you to near the front line."
Upon hearing this, Shi Mu and others walked into the formation range one after another.
As soon as he walked into the teleportation circle, Shi Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the surrounding air seemed to have become thicker, as if it had turned into liquid.
"Because the transmission distance of this teleportation array is too far, the space impact will be quite strong during the later transmission process. All of you must be prepared." When everyone stood still, Protector Yue said immediately.
Shi Mu and nearly a thousand people quickly agreed in unison.
Seeing this, Elder Yin waved with one hand, and the nine formation masters around the formation waved their hands, and their bodies glowed with light.
The golden light emitted by the golden formation immediately brightened, and the formation runes lit up with dazzling golden light, flowing along the runes like liquid.
After a few breaths, all the formation runes lit up with a dazzling golden light.
The teleportation array was in full operation, making a huge buzzing sound. The dull sound was transmitted far away, and the void around the hall also vibrated like water waves.
Shi Mu and others stood inside the magic circle, all of them looking pale.
The surrounding void is filled with huge pressures, coming in layers. People with weaker skills have begun to tremble slightly and move with all their strength to resist.
Shi Mu's body was extremely strong, so these pressures naturally had little effect on him.
The golden magic circle moved faster and faster, and the huge vibration caused the entire hall to tremble.
The old man in black clothes waved his hand, and a crystal white light flew out and disappeared into the formation.
Buzz!
A huge golden light suddenly emerged from the formation, covering Shi Mu and others.
There was a sudden flash of golden light, and hundreds of people including Shi Mu disappeared without a trace.
"If I remember correctly, this is already the eighth batch of disciples sent in recent years." Elder Yin raised one hand, put his arm away, and said.
When Protector Yue heard this, he nodded slightly but said nothing. (~^~)
