After the girl sneaked into the underground ruins, the valley on the ground ushered in a brief period of stability.
There are powerful border troops stationed outside the valley, and the Youchi clan inside are temporarily relieved. Although they don't know how to face these Plantagenet dynasty's troops, in these hundreds of years, the powerful impression of the dynasty has been
It has already penetrated into everyone's mind.
"With those people outside, we should be safe now." A middle-aged man from the Youchi clan stood on the mountain wall plank road in the valley, carefully observing the situation outside from here.
"It's better to come down quickly, Uncle Jing. It's too easy to fall down if you stand there." A young man under 20 shouted from behind.
"Oh, how can you talk like a kid? I was a ghost slayer when I was young..." Before he could finish his words, his expression froze.
"What's wrong?" The young man below looked at something wrong and asked loudly.
"Okay, so many demons..." He murmured with disbelief in his eyes.
Compared with the scattered monsters before, these beings running among the mountains in the wilderness are more crazy now. They seem to be attracted by something and are rushing towards the valley.
"Close the gate, set up your guns, and prepare your crossbows." Orders were passed down among the border troops one after another.
These frontier troops who had traveled a long way to attack had just rested for a long time before they had to get up and fight again.
With the help of temporary fortifications, black crossbow arrows were shot from behind the battlements, killing the approaching demons on the spot. Facing some powerful demons, the dragon knights in the sky also swooped down from time to time carrying blazing dragon spears,
Pierce and tear it.
Only this time, these monsters were no longer afraid, as if they were possessed by a demon, they kept rushing towards this valley. Some strong lizards or giant snakes even pushed down the walls directly against the rain of arrows, preparing to step into it.
Looking at this scene, the rear line of the frontier army once again rolled out red-painted iron cars. These steel train cars were lined up in a row. The soldiers adjusted their angles and fired at the approaching demons.
A red fire burned at the tail of the rocket, and then it shot out rapidly. The dense smoke enveloped the launch site, and the pungent smell of fire smoke was everywhere.
Facing the intensive attack of demons, these enchanted rockets played a very powerful role, often piercing through several demons before they could be stopped.
As a result, a large number of corpses began to pile up in the open space, and the demons behind took advantage of this cover, and the casualties began to decrease.
Affected by the impact of these demons, the residents in the valley were also awakened, and then asked and worried about the situation outside.
Tu Haoyang was standing on a high platform behind the border troops, watching the situation on the other side with the help of gold and copper telescopes coming from the west.
He had to frown at this.
"If what Miss Jialan said is correct, I'm afraid this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Demons will not suddenly become smarter, nor will they suddenly change their minds. If they are so brave and fearless of death, there must be someone driving them behind the scenes.
existence.
And the worry of this state shepherd coincided with guessing the real situation in the evening mountains.
One day ago, dusk fell over the mountains, illuminating the night palace residence.
A man with a feather fan on his back stood in the open space in front of the building, with a cold expression on his face.
"Have the results been obtained from the search?" he asked.
"Back to Master, we have checked all the traces in the camp, but we still can't guess who broke the isolation barrier." A disciple wearing a purple and white robe reported.
"It seems that the other party is very cunning, or this is an accident." Master He Ling walked back and forth in the open space.
"If the main faction discovered the truth of the matter, they would never be so quiet. They should have sent people here long ago." He analyzed the situation in his mind.
If it's not the main sect, it's probably an outsider who came here by chance. And based on the remaining traces, it took less than a week for the other party to break the barrier.
There is no one in the garrison, and there is no other evidence. The other party may wonder why the place is idle, but they will not conclude that we are a rebel.
It's not good to blindly jump out at this time, it will only alert the enemy.
But the only thing that is certain is that since the other party can find this place, he must have an old relationship with Zhaoye Palace, and he might be on his way to the main faction to inquire.
The question now is, how should we explain the reason why we were not in the station during this period, and why many disciples, including Yujian, disappeared.
Although He Ling's cultivation talent is average, his mind is not stupid. At this moment, he began to analyze the pros and cons of various decisions.
After a long time, he stopped walking back and forth and turned around.
"Let's go down one more time and activate the treasure of Yama Palace to catalyze the demons in the mountains and cleanse all the living creatures in the Ximu Mountains."
"This...Uncle Master, why is this happening all of a sudden..." This disciple was a little hesitant and confused. After all, killing people for self-protection and killing people on a large scale without any scruples are two different things.
"What do you know? The Lord will send someone here soon."
"If everything is peaceful in the Ximu Mountains, or if the matter is not serious enough, they will definitely investigate the matters in the station in detail."
"Only when demons are rampant and about to get out of control, the people in the main faction will not be obsessed with the details of the moment, but will devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle."
"When we fell, we said that Yujian and other disciples died in the fight with the demons. We suffered heavy losses and had to relocate, so that we were not in the station."
"In addition, with the enemy in front of us, they cannot spare any extra energy to punish us."
"When things come to light, we are also heroes fighting monsters, and the few old guys in the main faction can't come up with enough reasons to kill us."
After some words, He Ling reluctantly persuaded the other disciples around him to use the treasures of Yama Palace that had just been unearthed from the underground ruins to drive away these demons emerging from the ground.
Gather these scattered monsters from the entire Ximu Mountains to one place, attack the remaining Yushi clan, and hit the Valley Shrine. This change can also achieve their final goal, completely destroying the dragon vein restrictions of the Ximu Mountains
, liberating the underground ruins so that they can use the secret realm of the former Yama Palace.
In recent years, these disciples of Zhaoye Palace, under the leadership of Master He Ling, have continued to go deep into the underground ruins, unlocked the seals of the past one by one, and entered to explore.
Although many of the gaps in the cave were in disorder and inaccessible, some relatively well-preserved ruins also allowed them to find some clues and slowly restore the secret techniques and creations of the Rizhaoye Palace in the past.
And it was not until the beginning of this year that they finally found the special secret realm used by Yama Palace to assist cultivation in a remote cave sky gap.
They tried to activate this secret realm, but the effect was not as good as expected and was very average. This made everyone disappointed and somewhat regretful.
Later, through the recovery of data and records, they gradually understood that the original poor effect was due to the lack of nourishment from the dragon veins.
But now, the dragon veins in the Ximu Mountains have long been fragmented by the broken cave sky, gaps in time and space, etc. Not only are they difficult to use, most of them are also polluted and cannot be used.
The only main dragon vein that can activate the secret realm again is located under that valley, which is why they finally decided to use demons to attack there. And in order to prevent these evil clans from noticing or leaking the news, they must also remove these in the valley.
All people need to be cleared out.
But unfortunately, the Xiyou frontier troops arrived too quickly, and before they realized they had rushed into the valley, the disciples of Zhaoye Palace were unable to get off.
After all, driving demons is easy, but recalling them is beyond the scope of what they can do.
On the distant mountain peak, Master He Ling stood here with a group of purple-clothed disciples, looking at the situation in the valley in the distance.
"Sigh... I don't want this to happen, but since you are here, just stay here."
"Who asked you to prevent me from everlasting life...should be killed."
Soon after, a huge horn with evil patterns engraved on it whistled and blew, stirring the nerves and consciousness of these monsters, making them more manic and fearless of life and death, and charged towards the valley ahead.
The land was covered with ferocious black and red figures, and all kinds of howls and low moans came and went. The continuous ocean composed of these monsters gradually flooded every corner of the field of vision, heading towards the valley under the sunset.
