Li Yan looked at the ten people with a calm expression.
"Fellow Taoists, please continue to investigate. Could it be that there are our companions below and we really don't care about them?"
Having said this, he no longer looked at the ten people, but glanced at the rest.
"I know that now that we don't have the protection of the formation, if an attack like the one just came only once, all of us here will definitely die.
But the attack just now was like a storm, not giving us any time to breathe, and then stopped without any movement. Until now, this should show that the opponent's use of such a powerful magic weapon has limits.
Otherwise, why didn't anyone hear of this kind of attack in the battles that took place more than a month ago?
Just now, they did not need to give us any more time to survive. Since the attack did not appear again, it is enough to prove that this powerful magic weapon cannot be used by the demons at will.
Now is the time to find the surviving Taoist friends as soon as possible. In addition, we must either find a way to defend or retreat immediately!"
In Li Yan's words, he repeatedly emphasized the limitations of this attack several times, just to prevent these monks from getting into trouble first.
All this was all he could guess. In fact, he himself was not sure.
"Junior brother Li is right. If the other party attacks like just now, I don't think they can show mercy to us. Everyone should be busy with their own affairs." Gong Yuantai hesitated for a moment and waved his hand.
Vice-captain, of course he is expressing his stance at this moment.
Wuye looked at the ten people who were still hesitant and said, "Fellow Taoists, please act as ordered. Otherwise, do you still want to return to Fengliang Mountain first?"
After hearing this, the expressions of the ten people changed, they looked at each other again, then closed their eyes again and released their consciousness.
Without a retreat order, how could they dare to return to Fengliang Mountain without permission, especially now that "Tonggui Ridge" was in a mess. Although they felt that Li Yan should bear the main responsibility, that was a matter for accountability from above.
Li Yan looked around at the rain of stones, and saw that the spiritual shield outside his body was being beaten and made a beeping sound.
"Fellow Taoists, let's talk about the important things first. There are still 18 seriously injured people. They should have been sent back immediately, but now there are only more than 120 combat-ready personnel here, and now there are two sides of the rear.
There is a battle going on at the defense point and it is difficult to get through.
Senior Sister Tantai, please arrange for five fellow Taoists who know the formation to find a relatively secluded place nearby to build a small protective formation, and temporarily place these eighteen seriously injured fellow Taoists inside. The rest will be assigned as previously assigned.
The team and direction, with this as the center, spread a ten-mile alert in all directions.
Senior Brother Gong, Senior Sister Tantai, Wang Ning and Fellow Daoist Wuye, you guys will stay, and we will seize the time to discuss follow-up matters!"
After listening to Li Yan's instructions, although most of the monks around him were still in the lingering fear of just now, they were already mentally prepared to fight the demons.
Although most of them have retired by this time However, no one was willing to be the first to bring it up, under the emotionless gazes of Gong Yuantai and others.
After they looked at each other's companions, they reorganized into a team in silence and flew in the direction of the previous defense. Even a few of them, who were fake pills, sighed helplessly in their hearts.
No one who was recruited here has his tail left in the hands of the four major sects, not to mention that the opinions of the people with the highest cultivation here are surprisingly unified.
At this time, the stone rain in the sky had weakened a lot. Instead, it was ten or a hundred miles away from "Tonggui Ridge" as the center. Due to the spread of the central force, it was the time when the stone rain was intensive.
"The opponent had planned this for a long time. As soon as we took over and before we were familiar with the formation, the opponent launched an attack. According to the previous description of the second team of the 'Chongfeng Battalion', we should have been alert in advance.
Since the war started, there has been surprisingly no fighting here this morning, which just gave us time to come over to take over the defense. This is all such a coincidence, the news that we came over to change defense should have been leaked a long time ago."
"I think so too. The demons' attack was timed very well. It's almost as if we are cooperating with them."
Gong Yuantai also nodded. He had participated in the defense of "Mogu Mountain", so he had some understanding of the demon's offensive style.
The other three people were also non-committal, and they all acquiesced to this view.
At this point, Li Yan stopped continuing this topic. He just pointed out the reasons for the speculation. As for how the news was leaked, what is he considering now.
Whether it was Fengliangshan, the second team of the "Chongfeng Battalion", or the traitor appeared in the Qing Sixteenth Team, now they have no way to find out.
"Should we defend or retreat now?"
Li Yan looked at a few people.
"If there is no big formation here, how can I defend it?"
Wuye's words were still a bit cold.
"If Tonggui Ridge is given away without a fight, everyone should be very aware of the punishment we will face."
Gong Yuantai looked at Wuye, his tone was not scolding, but he spoke in the same calm tone.
In fact, due to time constraints, Wuye's words were very direct and did not contain too many thoughts, just like his character.
But what he said was actually what Li Yan and the others had in mind.
The two female cultivators, Tantai Dongyue and Wang, looked at each other and did not say anything immediately because they felt that what Wuye and Gong Yuantai said were right.
At this moment, the expressions of the five people changed, and Li Yan took a deep breath, "It seems that there is no need to discuss it."
Yes, they are coming!"
Less than thirty breaths after they came out of the Gravel Mountain, the retreating demon army was already attacking again. With such momentum, no one needed Li Yan to tell them what to do next, as no one knew they would be able to leave.
The distance is too close. As soon as they retreat, they will become a defeated army. They will be chased and beaten, and the mortality rate will only be higher.
"Fight!"
Wuye said and took the lead in flying into the sky.
Li Yan shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone gathers together. Those who are good at cooperating with each other will form their own groups. The rest will wait and each choose their opponent."
If there are those who escape without authorization, your fate will be to be chased by the demons and the four major sects!
Those who surrender to the enemy will bring disaster to the sect and family!
Great changes have taken place here, Fengliangshan reinforcements will arrive soon, we just have to wait until then!"
After Li Yan finished speaking in one breath, his figure also rose into the sky. There was no danger to defend here. Even if there were some formation masters among them, the limit of how many formations could be trapped by one individual was enough.
However, it is impossible to attack such a large number of monks. That is something that only large-scale formations can do, not to mention that the opponent does not give them any preparation time at all.
Everything was planned by the other party. Li Yan and the other five people all thought of the guess they just made.
What Li Yan just said not only threatened those who dared to flee in the face of battle, but what he said next was also correct.
"Tonggui Ridge" is such an important defensive position, and there is such a big movement. Fengliangshan must have been aware of it at this time, and will not sit idly by in any case.
A distance of several hundred miles is nothing to the Golden elixir and Nascent Soul monks, but it has not appeared so far. I think the demons also have countermeasures, which may have blocked the arrival of reinforcements.
At least for a short period of time, Li Yan and the others had to fight against the demon monks on their own.
Li Yan's idea is correct. The mid-level and high-level monks on both sides have their own specific battlefields. Otherwise, as long as one or two Jindan monks are sent to garrison here, the 200 demon troops that come over will be wiped out with just a wave of their hands.
It's over.
Following Li Yan's shout, monks from the east, west, north and west gathered towards the south.
At this time, in their consciousness, the demonic correction that had just retreated to the south rushed at an extremely fast speed, and was about to approach "Tonggui Ridge".
Li Yan didn't want to stand still. As soon as he spoke, his figure turned into a black light and rushed forward. Then Wu Ye, the moon moved on the platform, and Wang Ning also shouted to the monks behind him, "Kill!"
Gong Yuantai looked at the front and saw a black light speeding away.
"It's quite fierce!" After saying that, he took a deep breath and rushed out.
As a few people rushed out first, many monks followed suit and followed suit. Up.
Although Li Yan's threatening words were ringing in his ears before, there were still more than 20 monks who hesitated and flew very slowly, and soon they were at the back of the team. Most of them were looking left and right.
, with a hesitant look on his face.
Li Yan had actually expected this kind of phenomenon, but he had already said it. Anyway, when the fight started, there would be many people on the other side. Even if some people wanted to run away, it is estimated that one person could keep up with several pursuers behind him.
.
"If you don't want to be killed by the reinforcements coming from behind, you'd better work together to kill the demon army!"
While these people were dawdling, Bro whizzed past them with a sneer on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, those monks who were slowly falling behind showed a hint of fear on their faces. Now that there was a battle going on in the east and west directions, they did not dare to go and could only retreat straight back.
But what Bro said was true. The group of people flew towards Fengliang Mountain, and then they ran into the arms of their own reinforcements. They were not ordered to retreat, and the result is self-evident.
Looking at the team flying further and further ahead, the more than 20 monks looked at me and I looked at you, still feeling fear. The monks from different sects joined forces to defend against the enemy, and the binding force was almost non-existent at the critical moment.
of.
Finally, among the more than twenty people, an old-looking monk who was about sixty years old let out a long sigh.
"That's it, that's it. We've come here and finally tired our sect. We didn't have to go through this trip in the first place. I have no hope of condensing the golden elixir in this life, so I'll use my life to exchange for the kindness of my master. I hope
His old man’s soul can still be comforted in heaven.”
After saying that, the old man suddenly accelerated and galloped forward.
After having the first person, the person who was originally hesitant, after thinking about it for a while, gritted his teeth and moved forward...
Li Yan really didn't have time to care about these things at the moment. He was angry in his heart. He didn't expect that the so-called "receiving defense and returning to the mountain together" didn't even last half a day before he was plotted by others.
"I should be the first defensive point to be conquered the fastest after leading the team to defend."
Although he has always believed in the principle of being wise and protecting oneself, since he agreed to Wei Zhongran, of course he must do his best.
At this moment, Li Yan's consciousness was constantly scanning the monks rushing in front of him. No matter how passionate he was, he had to be able to protect himself first. He was not someone willing to trade his life for his life.
When it was confirmed that there were no Jindan or above cultivators in the opponent's team, I breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the opponent's team had more people than our own, it would not be easy for someone to surround him.
"Sure enough, the battle is the same as the battle between ordinary people, soldiers against soldiers, against generals! There are no middle or high-level monks in their leading team. Otherwise, when the two sides encounter each other, how far away can we wait for such little shrimps to hide?
How far away, just the aftermath would kill a large area."
