"It seems that it was successful. Finally, we didn't fall short. It's really a fluke." The black-robed holy envoy sighed in his heart.
Suddenly he turned around and looked into the distance, his eyes flickering and his brows furrowed:
"I didn't expect the Dao Sect to come so quickly. The matter here has been settled. There is no need to entangle with them."
Thinking of this, he ordered sharply:
"There are people coming from the Taoist sect, Cui Guang. You lead a few people to break up the rear, and use this thunder and lightning circle to hold them down. It only takes a stick of incense. The others evacuate from the back mountain and disperse after going down the mountain."
As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and put the golden eagle on the ground into his sleeves. At this moment, Gong Mi asked:
"Holy Envoy, what should we do with these two guys?"
The black-robed envoy looked at Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi who were tied together, and snorted coldly: "Don't worry about them, it's important to retreat."
Gong Mi bowed and said yes, and then directed the group of believers to run towards the back mountain.
At this moment, several figures appeared in the distant sky, flying towards here quickly. One of them led the way, and when it was still four or five miles away from the top of the mountain, it emitted a bright sword light.
A long sword came through the air and hit the lightning shield hard, causing the shield to tremble. It seemed that if there were a few more sword lights, the shield would definitely break.
The black-robed holy envoy exclaimed: "He is actually a mage in the ultimate realm. This thunder and lightning array cannot block several of his attacks, so that's all."
Then, he took out something from his sleeve, which was a palm-sized puppet beast.
The puppet beast looks like a tiger, but it has two wings on its back, a single horn on its head, and two sharp teeth sticking out of its mouth, as long and thin as a scimitar. Its entire body seems to be made of fine iron, with a dark metallic luster, and it looks like a legendary alien.
The beast is so strange.
The puppet beast Qiongqi landed on the ground and caught the wind. Its body suddenly swelled to five or six feet. It raised its head and howled wildly, making a metallic clang sound. Then it flapped its wings and soared into the air, flying toward several people in the distance.
The black-robed envoy turned around and was about to leave. Baili Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait, I will definitely kill you to avenge General Zhou."
Hearing this, the black-robed holy envoy looked at Bailiming jokingly, and Bailiming gave him a cold eyebrow without fear.
The black-robed holy envoy sneered contemptuously:
"Ant, you dare to die without strength. Your friends are harmed by your arrogance! Do you think you are so talented that you will surpass me in the future and kill me easily? Hahaha, then I will wait and see, don't let me
It’s been too long to wait.”
After saying that, he ignored the angry Baili Ming and floated up, flying towards the sky.
…
A middle-aged Taoist priest with a thin appearance wearing a blue Taoist robe was flying with a sword. When he saw the approaching puppet beast Qiongqi, he sneered at the corner of his mouth and fired a magic formula. Several sharp blades appeared out of thin air and stabbed Qiongqi directly.
Qiongqi did not dodge, but used his fine iron beast body to resist the sharp blade. The sound of tinkling metal rang out, leaving only a few shallow white marks on Qiongqi's body.
"Hey, I have some skills." The middle-aged Taoist priest said softly.
At this time, Qiongqi opened his huge mouth, and a burst of fire spurted out, instantly engulfing the middle-aged Taoist priest. The flames dissipated, but the Taoist priest was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, the Taoist priest appeared out of thin air above the head of Qiongqi's puppet, wielding a wild goose feather knife and slashing at him fiercely.
Before the blade could reach, the strong wind hit his face. Blessed by the heavy earth magic power, the broadsword was like a mountain, carrying the power of a thousand gold and bombarding it down.
With a loud noise, the Qiongqi Puppet Beast was bombarded and rolled several times, hitting the mountain forest below heavily. For a moment, the earth and rocks burst apart, dust flew up, and a huge deep pit appeared on the ground.
In the deep pit, the Qiongqi shook its dazed head, roared into the sky, flapped its wings, and jumped into the air with its huge body to pounce on the Taoist.
"Hey, you're pretty solid. Looks like you need to add a little more strength, Feixingluo!"
As he spoke, the Taoist stretched out his arm and made a sword secret with his hand, and his fingertips shot out majestic magic power. A boulder more than ten feet in size fell from the sky like a meteor. The boulder meteor burned with blazing flames, and as the Taoist's arm waved,
Next, the bolide roared towards Qiongqi.
The Qiongqi Puppet Beast that had just soared into the air was smashed back into the pit. With a bang, the pit expanded several times and deepened several feet.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, the middle-aged Taoist looked a little embarrassed when he saw Qiongqi struggling to stand up again.
A mage who is in the Supreme Realm realm, but against a puppet who is only in the late stage of the Humility Realm, he has not been killed in three attacks. This makes the disciples behind him think about whether they should pretend to be a master in the future.
Thinking of this, the Taoist used Flying Star Fall again, and then one, two, and three bolides appeared one after another, hitting Qiongqi in the pit like a barrage of cannons.
…
Looking at the puppet beast that had been torn to pieces in the huge pit, the middle-aged Taoist's slightly dark face showed a complacent look.
Seeing a flying boat approaching quickly, he hurriedly straightened his clothes and held up the hosta on his head. Then he put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the sky in the distance with an unpredictable look.
After the flying boat approached, there were six people standing on it. One of them was Zuo Sisi. His face was pale at this time. It seemed that the hard battle just now had greatly damaged his vitality.
The remaining five people are all of the same age as Zuo Sisi, wearing Taoist blue robes, Shifang shoes, and a jade hairpin on their heads. The end of the jade hairpin is engraved with a seven-star pattern, and a yellow star is inlaid in the position of the Yuheng star.
Jingshi, you can tell by looking at his attire that he is an inner disciple of Yuheng Palace.
The leader was very tall, with a surly and stubborn look on his handsome face. He bowed and saluted, and smiled:
"Master's magic power is boundless, and he is a master of flying stars. He can kill that powerful puppet beast with just one blow, oh, no, three or four blows. What a great trick, Master!"
Several disciples behind him suppressed their smiles and echoed incessantly. The middle-aged Taoist's face turned red and he coughed awkwardly:
"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore. It's more important to save people."
Then he ordered: "I have just noticed that the thieves on the top of the mountain have begun to escape. Our troops are divided into two groups. Wang Yueming, you take two junior brothers to chase the escaped thieves. Be sure to capture them alive so that they can be interrogated. The other disciples will follow me to the top of the mountain to rescue them."
people."
With that said, he rolled up his sleeves and took Zuo Sisi and two disciples on the flying sword, flying towards the top of Baoshan Mountain. The disciple named Wang Yueming drove the flying boat towards the back of the mountain.
…
At night, the top of Baoshan Mountain was in a mess, with traces of fierce magic battles everywhere.
Lu Xiaoyao was holding Zhou Jiang, who had a cold body, and was sobbing loudly. Baili Ming, Yuan Chaoxi, and Zuo Sisi were silent, standing by with expressions of grief and indignation.
Who would have thought that an ordinary experience would turn into a life-and-death farewell? Yuan Chaoxi burst into tears and said in a hoarse voice:
"This is all my fault. I had to come to the top of the mountain to investigate, and I had to stop the transformation spell, so I killed General Zhou."
Bai Liming interrupted: "No, the biggest responsibility lies with me. It was me who neglected the enemy's knowledge of our situation, which led to the mistake in the plan and killed General Zhou."
Just as Zuo Sisi was about to say something, Wang Yueming walked over from the side and said softly:
"You all should stop blaming yourself. It is our duty to slay demons. We must have the awareness to face life and death. I think Fellow Daoist Zhou does not want you to fall into self-blame and become depressed."
Bai Liming nodded when he heard this: "What Taoist Wang said is that it will not help to feel sorry for yourself now. Now that you have entered the Taoist sect, you must take on this responsibility. We will definitely eradicate this evil cult."
"Wang Daoyou, has the interrogation been concluded? Who are they?" Zuo Sisi asked.
Wang Yueming nodded and responded: "There are results. They call themselves Bon believers, and this Bon religion is a church that emerged in the wilderness of the northwest. It preaches that there is a true God in the sky, and that the true God creates a land of bliss. If you believe in the true God, you can ascend to the land of bliss after death.
Land, gain eternal life, gain wealth.”
After a brief pause, he continued:
"There are many small churches like this in the secular world. Most of them are pretending to be gods, cheating, and amassing money. But a few years ago, a man came to the church and claimed to be the Holy Lord. He used thunderbolt means to subjugate everyone, and also used crooked techniques to enhance the strength of the believers.
, were able to rise rapidly. Those believers just now did not hesitate to use evil methods to self-destruct to stop us, which shows that they have been brainwashed and are convinced."
Bailiming said angrily: "Whether it was the last time they transformed into humans or monsters, these thieves seem to be looking for ways to strengthen the demon clan. If things go on like this, there will definitely be a war between the demon clan and the Taoist sect."
"That should be the case. I believe that the Patriarch and the Star Lords of the Seventh Palace will have a way to deal with it." Wang Yueming agreed, and then he said:
"This time, a helmsman named Cui Guang was captured alive. This man has some status in the church and knows many secrets. We were short of time and haven't found out the deeper conspiracy yet. We will interrogate him carefully after he is escorted back to the Dao Sect."
Yuan Chaoxi said bitterly: "It's a pity that Gong Mia, that witch, escaped again."
