In the back hall, the old man was standing there with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Bai Ran and dozens of monks coming in, he said without changing his expression:
"I have just checked those of you. Either you have good qualifications or you practice special techniques. Therefore, you will be the spark for our sect's comeback. So now I give you half a day to go back and pack your things. You will be led by Master Nephew Huang.
You leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, and some even asked in surprise:
"Ancestor, aren't there people from the Demonic Way who still have two days to break through the defense line? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Hmph! It does take two days to break through the front line of defense, but do you think the other side will watch our remaining people slip away? They have already sent other people to bypass the defense line and attack each gate over a long distance. I guess their mission is not to wipe out all the enemies.
It just prevents us from retreating smoothly. So we must
I will give up the people outside to buy you time to retreat. But if you dare to leak this to the people outside while you are packing your things, causing chaos during the retreat, I will personally clean up the door." The old man in Jinyi said.
The voice was so cold that the monks present felt a chill in their hearts.
"yes"
…
Naturally, Bai Ran and others did not dare to object, they all responded respectfully, and then went out to pack their things.
On the way back, Bai Ran and the little old man broke up halfway. Both of them were worried.
Bai Ran's cave was too far away, so after breaking up, the divine wind boat immediately flew at full speed, trying to reach the cave as soon as possible.
At this time, Bai Ran felt extremely complicated.
If we follow what Patriarch Sima said and evacuate to other countries, our lives will naturally be safe, and we will be highly valued by those above us because of the lack of manpower.
But similarly, in the future, because Qingyun Sect will be rebuilt and a territory will be established in a new country, as one of the few remaining foundation-building monks, I will definitely be involved in worldly affairs and have a lot of chores to do. There will definitely not be too much.
It’s time to continue practicing!
Presumably, by the time everything is settled and the six sects take root again, he will have already passed the chance to enter the core formation stage. This is something Bai Ran doesn't want to see.
But if he runs away now, Bai Ran doesn't know if he is still under the surveillance of the old monster's consciousness. Maybe he will notice if he does anything wrong. By then, he, a deserter, will definitely die without a burial place.
ah!
Bai Ran felt very regretful. He had known that things were so bad. He might as well have fled to another country right away. Why would he come back?
In desperation, Bai Ran returned to the cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, he first took out the storage bags containing the talismans under the bed in the bedroom and put them into his arms. Then he went to the storage room and put away the remaining rare medicinal materials.
Finally, he went to the secret room of the Spring of Spiritual Eyes and destroyed the entire secret room to cover up the Spring of Spiritual Eyes.
Since the spiritual object cannot be moved away now, Bai Ran does not want the spiritual eye to be discovered and used by demonic people.
After doing all this, Bai Ran checked the house again. He felt that nothing was missing. Then he walked out of the cave. He took out the first set of "Inverted Five Elements Formation" formation flags and formations, and carefully put them away.
Into the storage bag.
Seeing the gate of the cave that was re-revealed due to the disappearance of the formation, Bai Ran raised his eyebrows and suddenly released two black lights. It took him a meal to destroy the entire small mountain peak, and the collapsed rocks completely buried the cave.
.
After that, Bai Ran circled in the air and flew away.
When Bai Ran returned to the meeting hall, everyone else was there. But what surprised Bai Ran was that in addition to their dozens of foundation-building period monks, there were also hundreds of Qi-refining period disciples.
Inside the palace.
"Do these people also have to evacuate together?" Bai Ran thought a little doubtfully.
But when his eyes lit up, he suddenly saw the little old man and Xiao Cuier standing together, whispering something, both of them looking extremely serious.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ran walked over without politeness.
"Uncle Bai!" Xiao Cuier called out respectfully when she saw Bai Ran coming.
Bai Ran smiled and nodded, then turned to the little old man and said:
"What's going on? Are these Qi Refining Stage disciples walking with us?"
In order not to attract other people's attention, Bai Ran's voice was very low.
"Yes! You can give up easily. My apprentice is also among the best in qualifications!" the little old man said lightly. But when he talked about Xiao Cui'er, he showed a bit of arrogance. This made Bai Ran look at it.
, a bit funny.
After some time, Patriarch Sima and a capable middle-aged man finally appeared.
"I just received the news,
Traces of the demonic monks have appeared. You should set off immediately and make arrangements for everything in the future! I will let the remaining people in the valley attract the incoming enemy." Patriarch Sima said with a heavy face.
Hearing what Patriarch Sima said, Bai Ran and others were shocked. The demonic path came so quickly!
The middle-aged man next to Patriarch Sima said coldly:
"Time is running out, so I'll keep my story short. With so many people following me to evacuate this time, I have only one request. Everyone must obey my orders. Anyone who doesn't will be dealt with directly as a traitor. Next, set off immediately!
"
This man is really resolute! After just a few words, he bowed deeply to the old man beside him and walked out of the hall first.
After the others were stunned for a moment, they followed him out like a swarm of swarms.
As a result, a mighty team of hundreds of people took off from the front of the stone palace and flew rapidly toward the northeast.
…
After more than half a day, the entire team left the Taiyue Mountains and then moved forward at a much faster speed.
Bai Ran stepped on the divine wind boat and flew at the front of the team. When the little old man saw that Bai Ran's divine wind boat could still carry people, he unceremoniously pulled Xiao Cuier and stood on it, letting Bai Ran
However, I could only laugh a few times and couldn't say anything.
But as soon as the team flew more than a hundred miles away from the Taiyue Mountains, a dazzling white light suddenly flew from behind. In the blink of an eye, it passed over many monks and fell into the hands of Uncle Huang in front of the team. It was actually a small sparkling white light.
It's a sword, but there's a jade slip stuck on it.
The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he immediately waved his hand to stop the entire team.
Then he took off the jade slip and casually threw the small sword into the air. Suddenly the small sword turned into white light again and flew back along the same path.
Uncle Huang put his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip to take a closer look, but after a moment, he came out with an ugly expression, and immediately lowered his head and began to think deeply. Apparently, he had encountered something tricky.
"All the foundation-building monks come forward. Things have changed. I want to rearrange the task." The middle-aged man suddenly turned back with a sullen face.
Bai Ran and others were stunned by these words, but after looking at each other for a few times, the obedient imperial weapon stepped forward, and Xiao Cuier quickly jumped off the divine wind boat.
"Uncle Master, what happened!" The people who saw the middle-aged man receiving the message from Feijian were not just one or two people.
"The ancestor sent a message, and as soon as we left, the demonic people arrived at the back. And they seemed to know our retreat plan. Now they are divided into two groups, one group trapped Qingyun Gate, and the other group is chasing us. Therefore,
, in order to ensure a large
To break away the team members, I need a team of you to lead them away from me. The people I selected below will go with me to block the enemy, and the rest will continue to fly away from the North Territory under the leadership of my designated person.
." Master Huang said coldly.
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the others felt a chill in their hearts.
They are not fools. This task of blocking the enemy is obviously a narrow escape!
Although most people's eyes were evasive, Uncle Huang pointed unceremoniously and named more than 20 foundation-building monks in one breath.
Unfortunately, Bai Ran was among them, but the little old man escaped!
The faces of those who were hit turned pale, but no one said anything to stop them.
Therefore, with a wave of Uncle Huang's arm, the others continued to gallop away, leaving only Bai Ran and others, seemingly alone.
"Okay, time is running out now! I know that most of you are not optimistic about this interception mission! But I don't ask you to fight hard to catch up with the enemy. I only ask you to sneak attack the opponent, attract their attention, and provide some cover.
Just get off the team in front." The middle-aged man said in a slightly slower tone, and then took out more than twenty green jade slips from his body.
"Memorize the map in the jade slip, and then destroy it! If you get separated after a while, you can regroup according to the location on the map." After Master Huang said this, he raised his hand, and more than twenty green lights shot out, and everyone
There was one floating in front of me.
Hearing Master Huang say this, the others' expressions became much better. Since they were not fighting against the devil face to face, their chances of survival were still much greater. So everyone grabbed the jade slips and began to memorize the map inside the slips.
Although Bai Ran caught the jade slip in his hand, he only glanced at it briefly and did not take it to heart.
Because leaving him here to stop the enemy this time is a rare opportunity for Bai Ran to escape. For the sake of forming pills in the future, he is not willing to go all the way with the Qingyun Sect!
