Stones as big as basketballs were blown off the ground, and were swept along by the howling wind.
Only those boulders weighing thousands of kilograms can remain stable under such terrible winds.
Howling Mountains.
Together with Bugui Forest and Wan Chong Lake, it is one of the three dangers in Nanzhou.
Even looking at the entire Xuanjie, it is a special area ranked by Wanshilou as one of the ten most dangerous places.
The five absolutes and the ten evils are the fifteen most dangerous forbidden places in the mysterious world.
But compared to the Five Forbidden Areas, which are almost certain to kill anyone who enters them, the Ten Forbidden Areas at least have a glimmer of hope.
It is precisely because of this glimmer of hope that the Lingjian Villa and the Tianshan Sect, which are adjacent to the Whistling Mountains, have to invest a certain degree of defensive force here. After all, opposite this fierce mountain range is the territory of the Nanzhou Monster Clan - Shi.
Thousands of mountains.
However, as the situation on Beihai Sword Island became critical, after Lingjian Villa and Tianshan Faction allocated some forces to support, the defensive strength of this area had to be slightly reduced. However, I did not expect that it would be blocked due to this.
The Nanzhou Monster Clan directly took advantage of the situation and completely wiped out the defensive forces deployed by Lingjian Villa and the Tianshan Sect here, turning it into a bridgehead for the Nanzhou Monster Clan to invade the hinterland of the Nanzhou Human Race.
Of course, it is still too early to say that we will invade the hinterland of the human race.
After all, if you really want to invade the hinterland of Nanzhou from this direction, Tianshan Sect and Lingjian Villa are two unavoidable obstacles, and the difficulty of attacking is far higher than that of Dahuang City.
What's more, the Nanzhou Monster Clan's main attack direction is not here.
Looking down from the map of Xuanzhou, the entire Nanzhou looks like a water drop shape.
It is actually just a nicer way of saying that the Nanzhou Monster Clan and the Human Clan are divided and rule the entire Beizhou.
In fact, the 100,000 Mountains occupied by the Nanzhou Monster Clan account for almost two-thirds of the entire Nanzhou - starting from the northwest of Nanzhou, it is as if a knife has cut the water drop of Nanzhou diagonally down.
Directly divide this land into two.
Therefore, the northwest, west, south, southeast, and almost two-thirds of the central part of Nanzhou all fell into the hands of the Nanzhou Monster Clan.
However, for the human race, the vastness of the territory is not important. What really matters is the abundance of resources.
Although more than two-thirds of the area in Nanzhou has fallen into the hands of the Nanzhou Monster Clan, this area is dominated by mountains, rocks, hills and other terrain, and its resources are mainly ores and a small number of spiritual plants.
Harsh climate environment and countless monsters and ferocious beasts.
At this point, it is naturally far inferior to the other third of Nanzhou territory occupied by the human race.
But it is precisely because of this that the area occupied by the Nanzhou Monster Clan is called the Shiwan Mountains.
It is also called the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Demon Mountains, etc.
What divides the borders of the Nanzhou Shemale territory is the Tianping Mountain Range.
This is a huge mountain range with almost no peak visible. According to ancient legends, the top of this mountain range has entered the Gangfeng layer, and non-supreme powerful people cannot cross it. Therefore, all the time, whether it is the demon race or the human race, almost all
There is no idea of going over the mountain. The interconnection between the two sides is purely based on the four normal communication points of the Tianping Mountains - these are the four naturally formed internal mountain roads of the Tianping Mountains.
Of these four mountain roads, humans and monsters each occupy two.
On the human side, those who control the mountain roads are Dahuang City and Xiaoleiyin Temple respectively.
The main force of the Nanzhou Monster Clan's attack this time was concentrated in the direction of Dahuang City, so they were able to attack the three strongholds that Dahuang City built around the mountain road in one go.
You must know that these three strongholds are the first line of strongholds, and the power invested by Dahuang City in this regard is extremely powerful. But even so, they were all pulled out by the Nanzhou Monster Clan at once. One can imagine the brutality of the battle.
To what extent has it been achieved?
Behind the three first-line border strongholds are five second-line strongholds serving as buffer zones.
Further back is Dahuang City.
The loss of the three frontline strongholds means that the offensive initiative has completely fallen into the hands of the Nanzhou Monster Clan, and the five second-line strongholds in the Great Wilderness City that serve as buffer zones are not built on the scale of a border fortress.
, more often it serves as a hub connecting Dahuang City and frontline strongholds, or simply a transit station.
This is also why Dahuang City is so eager.
After all, everyone knows the value of the buffer zone. The Nanzhou Monster Clan can completely bypass this buffer zone and attack Dahuang City directly. Even after besieging Dahuang City, they can directly bypass Dahuang City and penetrate deeply into the hinterland of Nanzhou. Moreover,
Even if the Nanzhou Monster Tribe doesn't do this, they can still choose to move southeast and cooperate with another Monster Tribe force to complete the outflank attack on Xiaoleiyin Temple; or they can advance north and cooperate with the Monster Tribe crossing Wanchong Lake.
The troops attacked Baijiayuan directly.
So no matter what, the defeat of Dahuang City this time is actually equivalent to becoming the sinner of Nanzhou.
Of course, this is talking about normal mutual business channels.
There is normality, and naturally there is also abnormality.
The so-called abnormal passages actually refer to the two dangerous places located at the beginning and end of the Tianping Mountains.
Wan Chong Lake and Howling Mountains.
Baijiayuan is located in Wan Chong Lake, facing the Nanzhou Monster Clan from a distance.
The Tianshan Sect and Lingjian Villa jointly guard the two valley entrances of the Wuthering Mountains.
Leaving aside Baijiayuan, although Tianshan Sect and Lingjian Villa seemed to have suffered heavy losses, that was because none of their main disciples were here. In essence, even if they came out of the two valley entrances of the Wuthering Mountains, they would eventually have to
You have to break through any of the mountain gates of these two sects before you can enter the hinterland of the human race in Nanzhou, so in fact, these two sects are not really lost.
They have even begun to organize their disciples to prepare for a counterattack.
Once they can retake the defense area of the Whistling Mountains, these two families can re-build the defense line, guard the Whistling Mountains, and prevent the demon clan from using it as a bridgehead to threaten the human race. The subsequent situation will naturally allow them to allocate part of their strength to support the big army.
The city is deserted.
But the premise of all this is that the Tianshan Sect and Lingjian Villa can retake the Wuthering Mountains defense area.
A team of hundreds of people, composed of two families, officially entered the strong wind that blows all year round in the Whistling Mountains.
…
"The wind has intensified." A middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at the boulders flying across the sky and frowned, "This phenomenon is really rare. We have been here for so long and have never seen anything like this.
.”
"The situation is different." Another middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
He has a strong body, and his full muscles are full of strength. He is a type of warrior who makes people feel untouchable at first sight. But in fact, behind this strong middle-aged man, there is someone even taller than him.
A huge sword box at one end.
This is a swordsman.
The middle-aged Taoist priest is one of the leaders of the Tianshan Sect in this team. His name is Zha Haomin, which is a relatively rare surname.
But in fact, within the Tianshan Sect, the Zha family is not a small figure, but one of the six sects of the Tianshan Mountains, a sect of the Earthly Law.
The Tianshan Sect is one of the Four Great Sects and is famous for its Five Elements magic and formations in the Xuan world.
But in fact, the Five Elements Technique that the Tianshan Sect is really best at is the Earth Element Technique. After all, Wandao Palace, the head of the Taoist sect, has the inheritance of the Heavenly Palace in the past. Therefore, in terms of magic techniques, whether it is Tianshan
Neither the sect nor the Zhenyuan Sect can compare to the Wandao Palace - you know, this magic does not only refer to the Five Elements magic, but also Yin and Yang magic and other niche categories of magic.
Therefore, in order for his sect to have some characteristics and prevent it from completely sinking, Zhenyuan Sect also had to move closer to martial arts.
The Tianshan sect is more direct. In addition to the earth movement method, it also spends a lot of effort on the formation method. Moreover, the reason why the earth movement method and formation method of the Tianshan sect can become a unique skill is actually the same as that they are stationed in Wuxiao.
Mountains are relevant here.
There are flying sand and rocks all over the mountains and plains, and if you don't know how to suppress the formation and use the earth movement method, how can you possibly stabilize the situation here.
Even the stronghold set up by Lingjian Villa in the Wuthering Mountains was built with the help of people from the Tianshan Sect.
Therefore, in the Tianshan Sect, the ones with the most say are the Cha family, which is famous for its earthly methods, and the Zhuge family, which is famous for its formations. Basically, the position of head of the Tianshan Sect has always been taken over by disciples of these two families in turn.
.
Accompanying Zha Haomin this time was Zhuge Fu, the formation master of the Zhuge family.
These two are both genuine experts in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and they are also one of the successors and trainees for the next head of the Tianshan Sect.
Especially Zhugefu.
Even though her name looks a bit like a boy, she is actually a pretty girl. Within the Tianshan Sect, the call to take over as the leader is far ahead of the other dozen or so contenders. And the reason why she is so high
In addition to her appearance, Tianshan is indeed very popular.
She has dabbled in all six meridians, and is not as good at fighting as ordinary formation masters. She is just not as good as a disciple of the Cha family in earthly techniques. Other spells in the Tianshan sect are not as good as those of the core disciples of the other four meridians.
At least she still has the confidence to tie the game.
He is good-looking and strong. How could such a person not have fans?
She was originally included in the accompanying team when the Tianshan sect rushed to the Beihai Jiandao. After all, the leader was a member of the Zhuge family. Naturally, her selfish intention was to let Zhugefu brush up his qualifications. But Zhugefu chose him.
I have no interest in this matter, and I think that I don’t need to brush up on this qualification. If I have this time, I might as well study the integration and improvement of the Five Elements Technique and the Formation. However, I didn’t expect that by some mistake, I would end up with such a
A greater credit.
As long as she can retake the defense area of the Whistling Mountains and contain the invasion of the Nanzhou Demon Clan, her contribution is no less than rushing to the aid of the Beihai Sword Sect. In addition, going to the Beihai Sword Island is to rush to the rescue, and whether to fight or not is not their decision.
But here in the Whistling Mountains, the demon clan has come to attack, so comparing the two, naturally the contribution from this side is greater.
But the premise of all this is that the Tianshan Sect can retake the defense area of the Wuthering Mountains.
For this reason, Zhugefu personally went to Lingjian Villa and persuaded the people of Lingjian Villa to cooperate together. They gave up the previous method of each family guarding the exit of the valley and directly joined forces to set up a new defense zone on the main road at the fork in the road.
The two families govern together.
This is also determined by the unique topography of the Whistling Mountains.
The entire Whistling Mountain Range, located at the end of Tianping Mountain, consists of four peak lines, forming a trend similar to the letter "y". Two of the tentacles' valley exits extend to the south and northeast respectively, which happen to be
The direction of Tianshan Sect and Lingjian Villa. And all along, the two sects have built defense lines within their respective jurisdictions, deploying defenses based on the idea of "becoming each other's horns".
Unexpectedly, this time, the Nanzhou Monster Clan robbed them of a good opportunity, resulting in heavy losses for both families.
So when Zhugefu came to the door and explained the pros and cons, Lingjian Villa naturally hit it off and decided to follow Zhugefu's idea to build a new defense area directly at the middle point of the "y", and the two families would jointly deploy it, and then in the
Detaniguchi built a second line of defense to completely prevent this situation from happening again.
Since Lingjian Villa takes this matter so seriously, the leader of the team sent out cannot be a small role.
Chongxiao Sword. Li Qinglian.
It was at this time that the muscular man carrying a sword box stood next to the middle-aged Taoist Zha Haomin.
He and Zhuge Fu are somewhat similar: one has a delicate name, but is actually a muscular man; the other has a simple name, but is actually a gentle woman.
But the so-called "different approaches and similar approaches" between the two goes beyond this.
Li Qinglian's strength is not weaker than Zhugefu at all. Even among all the powerful monks in the Immortal Realm in the entire Lingjian Villa, he can still be ranked first. However, due to his talent, he is far away from the "Peerless Sword Immortal".
"The name is always half a step away.
, otherwise he would have been the eighth peerless immortal - if it had not been for the sudden emergence of Tang Shiyun, people in the Xuan world generally believe that if Li Qinglian is given another few hundred years, when he steps into the Daoji realm
He can definitely become the eighth peerless swordsman.
By then, Lingjian Villa will be like Wanjian Tower, with two swordsmen in one discipline.
But it is a pity that Tang Shiyun is getting closer and closer to the name of "Peerless Sword Immortal", but Li Qinglian still cannot take the last half step. The eighth place has long been destined. Now Lingjian Villa is more concerned about it
Yes, I hope that Li Qinglian will not lose the title of the ninth one. After all, there is not only one Guanghan Sword Immortal who has been appointed by Wanshilou, but also Xu Yue, the Xuanyue Sword Immortal.
These two people were considered by Wanshilou to be rare swordsman geniuses, especially Tang Shiyun, who was an extremely rare talent.
Wan Shilou even mentioned in private that Tang Shiyun might be a genius in swordsmanship who could be born only by combining the luck of an era.
Therefore, Li Qinglian recognized that she could not compare with Tang Shiyun's talent.
But if she loses to Xuan Yue again, Li Qinglian will not be reconciled.
"Indeed." Zhugefu took over Li Qinglian's words, then nodded slightly and said, "In the past, we were thinking about how to control the wind here, suppressing the strong winds in the Whistling Mountains as much as possible, and not causing too much interference to us... But
The demon tribe is different, especially the Nanzhou demon tribe. Although the strong wind has little impact on them, so in order to prevent us from retaking this defense area, we naturally have to find ways to strengthen the wind."
The monster race is physically strong and healthy, far beyond what ordinary humans can compare to.
The stronger the strong winds in the Whistling Mountains, the greater the threat to the human race, especially to the Tianshan sect's magic cultivators. They even have to devote part of their attention to maintaining their own stability and guarding against flying rocks around them.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the concentration will be reduced a bit. In this way, it will naturally give the demon clan more opportunities to take advantage of. After all, it is well known that martial arts cultivation does not require physical training.
The situations of the two ethnic groups are different, so if they want to gain a foothold in the Whistling Mountains, they must naturally create some geographical conditions that are more favorable to them.
"Most of us disciples at Lingjian Villa will not have this problem." Li Qinglian said in a deep voice, "This kind of wind will not affect us too much."
"I'm lucky to have you." Zhugefu smiled.
"I will let the disciples of the Villa protect you as much as possible." Li Qinglian knew what Zhuge Fu meant, so she nodded and said, "But you have to ask your disciples to never stay too far away from our disciples of the Villa. After all, our Spirit Sword
The Villa is not good at protecting it.”
"I know." Zhugefu also nodded.
Among the four major sword cultivation holy places, the disciples of Wanjian Pavilion have the most sword moves, and they cannot fight with them in ordinary encounters; the disciples of Zangjian Pavilion use their weapons to be sharp, and they are most afraid of clashes with weapons; the disciples of Beihai Sword Sect use
The sword formation is famous for its ability to attack and is better at defending, so it is recognized as number one in terms of protection.
Only the sword cultivators at Lingjian Villa have the strongest offensive ability.
Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the disciples of Lingjian Villa to protect the disciples of Tianshan Sect and make the defense watertight.
They are better at, and only good at, using offense instead of defense.
After Zhugefu and Li Qinglian completed their negotiation, the entire team that had just entered the Whistling Mountains changed their formation instantly.
Because the number of disciples from the two sects on this trip is close, it is natural for them to coordinate with one Tianshan sect disciple and one Lingjian Villa disciple.
They marched like this for a while, but neither side found anyone from the demon clan, which made Zhuge Fu and Li Qinglian frown even deeper.
Zhugefu and Li Qinglian entered the mountain from the south of the Wuthering Mountains.
This was the direction where the Tianshan sect was stationed.
The Tianshan Sect's idea is to launch a raid together with the people from Lingjian Villa to retake the Tianshan Sect's defense line in the Wuthering Mountains, and then drive all the way to the intersection to build a new defense line. The Tianshan Sect will also send a second branch,
The third team enters the Whistling Mountains. The third team will immediately rearrange the defense force after Zhugefu and Li Qinglian regain the initial defense area, while the second team will take over the defense work of the intersection node.
The hundred-man team united by the two sects will attack the defense area of Lingjian Villa that was previously captured by the demon clan from behind with a counterattack, and cooperate with another team from Lingjian Villa that has been prepared to recapture this defense area.
.
Of course, the subsequent defense and construction work has nothing to do with the joint team of Zhugefu and Li Qinglian. After they retake this defense area, they will immediately go north to rescue Dahuang City. After all, how critical the situation in Dahuang City is now, what is the situation in the south?
Naturally, the five major sects at the front of the state would know this.
But now.
From the moment we entered the mountain, until now we are quite close to the Tianshan Sect’s former defense area, we still haven’t encountered any attack from the Nanzhou Monster Clan. This is obviously not a normal thing. After all, it stands to reason that the Nanzhou Monster Clan has paid
After driving both the Tianshan Sect and Lingjian Villa out of the Wuthering Mountains at a certain cost, they will definitely not let these two nineteen-sect-level behemoths regain control of the area again.
This can be seen from the stronger winds in the Whistling Mountains.
But.
It is absolutely abnormal that they have gone so deep and yet they have not been attacked by the Nanzhou Monster Clan.
"The rest of us, let's go take a look at the front first."
Facing Li Qinglian's suggestion, Zhugefu nodded immediately: "Okay."
Immediately, a total of five people, including Li Qinglian and Zhugefu, came out of the queue and moved forward at an extremely fast speed.
This time, a total of ten powerful masters from the Earthly Immortal Realm came to the two alliances.
The Venerable who entered the Sea of Misery did not come with the team because this is not their battlefield. Their real battlefield will be in the Gangfeng layer. And generally according to the principle of king versus king and general, in the Nanzhou Monster Clan’s
If the Demon King did not take action, they, the Kuhai Venerables, would naturally not take action, but would hand over the battlefield to the juniors at a lower level.
This is also the unspoken rule of Xuanjie.
As for the Daoji realm powerful ones, their battlefield is also not here, but is used to contain them in other places.
Ten powerful people from the Earthly Immortal Realm will lead the team, as well as more than fifty half-step Earthly Immortal Realm experts, and the rest will be all Soul Condensing Realm experts who are not weak in qualifications and strength. This lineup is already quite luxurious.
After all, the Whistling Mountains were initially attacked by the Nanzhou Monster Clan.
, the reason that led to the heavy losses of Lingjian Villa and Tianshan Sect was that the Nanzhou Monster Clan dispatched ten powerful men who were equivalent to the Earthly Immortal Realm in one go. Therefore, this time the counterattack organized by the Tianshan Sect was led by the monks in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
In terms of quantity, naturally it cannot be less than ten.
However, taking into account the actual combat strength level of the Tianshan Sect, out of the ten Earthly Immortal Realm monks, Lingjian Villa sent six at one go.
At this moment, Li Qinglian took the lead, Zhuge Fu, a powerful man from the Tianshan Sect and two powerful men from the Lingjian Villa quickly advanced.
Zha Haomin, another Tianshan Sect great master and three monks from Lingjian Villa led the team to follow.
…
Since there was no need to worry about the speed of the entire team, Li Qinglian, Zhugefu and his team were naturally very fast.
Although the environment of the Whistling Mountains is special, there is no way to fly directly in the air.
But even if Zhuge Fu is not good at physical training, he is still a strong man in the Earth Immortal Realm, and his strength is still guaranteed. Not to mention, the Tianshan Sect has mastered special earth elements based on the special conditions of the Wuthering Mountains.
Therefore, Zhugefu and another monk named Cha can naturally move here easily and quickly.
His speed was actually one minute faster than Li Qinglian and others.
Not long after.
A group of five people arrived at the stronghold previously established by the Tianshan Sect in the Wuthering Mountains.
This is a stronghold similar to a village.
There are several rows of stone houses in the stronghold that appear to be chaotic, but are actually orderly.
Except for a few of these stone houses that are quite special in size, the other stone houses are quite consistent in size.
Li Qinglian could see that the Tianshan Sect should have used these stone houses as formations to set up a special protective formation. It was only because the Nanzhou Monster Clan's offensive was too fierce that the formation was broken, resulting in extremely heavy losses here.
Tragic: Not one of the stone houses is complete, and they are basically in ruins. The traces of fierce battles that can be seen everywhere fully illustrate the intensity of this battlefield.
Zhuge Fu raised his eyebrows, and anger almost burst out of his eyes.
"The monsters are moving in a hurry."
"Something must have happened." Li Qinglian also nodded.
He knew the situation in the defense area they were responsible for at Lingjian Villa.
At that time, the battle broke out very suddenly. After the sudden attack on Lingjian Villa, the panic caused a lot of damage, so many people died. Later, the defense area was breached, and the remaining people chose to break out and escape, so naturally there was no time to collect the bodies.
And because of the special nature of the Nanzhou Monster Clan and the special nature of the monk's corpse, they will definitely not let it go.
But now, Li Qinglian, Zhuge Fu and others saw the corpses of the Tianshan Sect disciples that had been collected here.
The Nanzhou Monster Clan apparently began to collect the corpses after breaking through the Tianshan Sect's defense zone, and prepared to transport them back to the rear. However, other special circumstances apparently occurred unexpectedly in the middle, so the Nanzhou Monster Clan did not send these corpses to the rear.
Transport away.
"Wanshilou has designated the Whistling Mountains as one of the ten most dangerous places. However, for so long, we have not found anything special about this place except that monks below the Earthly Immortal Realm are easily injured due to the special wind force here.
.”
It was Zhuge Fu who spoke.
The anger on her face has been suppressed, but it is more of a deep doubt.
Seeing Zhugefu's inquiring eyes, Li Qinglian shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't find it in any ancient books... But the theory of five extremes and ten evils is said to have been set by the mysterious original owner of Wanshi Tower. I'm afraid
Only the missing owner of Wanshilou knows the real reason."
"Then this..."
"There must have been some change, but I don't know if the change is limited to this area, or if the entire Whistling Mountains has changed." Li Qinglian said in a deep voice, "We won't go any further for now, let's check here first.
Let’s check it out and discuss it after Hao Min and the others come over.”
Zhugefu did not refuse Li Qinglian's proposal.
The current situation is strange, so one should naturally be cautious. After all, they are not great masters in the Taoist realm, nor are they supreme beings who have entered the sea of suffering. They are just in the earthly fairyland.
In the mysterious world, the hierarchy of monks is roughly divided into five levels.
Not to mention the Three Saints and Five Emperors who are at the top of the Mysterious Realm, they are all immortal beings who have already reached the other side.
It is said that there seems to be a higher realm above the other shore, but even Huang Guzhu, who is known as the strongest in the Xuan Realm, has not broken this shackles. Naturally, these juniors will not know what the realm above the other shore is.
And under the other shore, there is the second level of venerables, that is, the monks who are crossing the sea of suffering.
For example, the eight demon emperors of the demon clan and the three emperors of the human race belong to the top group in this grade.
After that, the third level of monks is from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Daoji Realm.
Although Daoji Realm monks are generally stronger than Earth Immortal Realm monks, this is not absolute. After all, Dao Ji Realm monks are more aware of the laws of the Dao, and their skills in using the power of the Dao Laws are more mature than those of Earth Immortal Realm monks.
.However, there are always some monsters in the Xuan Realm who can defeat those Daoji Realm monks with relatively average strength in the Earth Immortal Realm. The most typical representative among them is naturally Tang Shiyun from Taiyi Valley.
According to the latest rumors, in front of the secret realm suspected to be the ruins of the Sword Sect, Tang Shiyun killed a Daoji realm monk with his cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Although everyone knows that once a sword cultivator enters the Earthly Immortal Realm, his lethality will indeed increase by leaps and bounds, but one as powerful as Tang Shiyun is really rare in the Xuan Realm.
This made Xuan Jie couldn't help but recall what Tang Shiyun once said in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
"You will become a peerless swordsman within five years."
Now it seems that it may not take more than five years.
But no matter what, under normal circumstances, the opponents of Daoji Realm monks are usually only Daoji Realm monks, and they rarely attack the Earthly Immortal Realm monks.
This is also the reason why Li Qinglian, Zhuge Fu and others are here at this time.
The Nanzhou Monster Clan attacked the great demons who were cultivated in the Earthly Immortal Realm, so naturally the Lingjian Villa and the Tianshan Sect's counterattacks were mainly based on the Earthly Immortal Realm monks. Of course, this does not mean that these two families did not send Daoji Realm monks to attack.
, but they did not accompany Li Qinglian and others. They were more
The role of the Daoji Realm is to deal with the Daoji Realm monsters who are also lurking aside. However, if the Nanzhou Monster Clan, which uses the Whistling Mountains as a breakthrough, does not send Daoji Realm powerful men, then these Daoji Realm monsters who mainly focus on response will
Of course, it is impossible for a monk to just watch the theater all the time.
The fourth level below this level of strength is the soul condensing realm and the fifth level of the natal realm.
These two realms are the backbone of the famous sects in the Xuan Realm.
To judge the foundation of a sect is to look at the number of high-end combat capabilities of the sect. To judge the future potential of a sect is to look at the number of disciples who are the backbone of the sect - if this number is less,
In the future, it is possible to fall into a dilemma of lack of support, and this often means the beginning of the decline of a sect.
In the entire Xuan Realm, the only exception is probably Taiyi Valley.
But that's a special case, so it's certainly not accurate.
Whether it is Li Qinglian or Zhugefu, they do not lack self-confidence in themselves, but they are not blindly arrogant either.
However, there was really nothing to explore in this stronghold, so they quickly returned to the square of the stronghold.
"How?" It was Li Qinglian who spoke.
"I found something very strange." Zhugefu said, "The whole village only has traces of our people's evacuation, and there are also traces of the monster invasion, but there is no trace of their evacuation... And according to what I just checked,
After exploring some traces, I found many unnatural places."
Li Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean...these monsters disappeared out of thin air?"
"Yes." Zhugefu nodded, "And it's not just the Nanzhou demon clan that has disappeared, but also... Qi."
"gas?"
The three sword cultivators, including Li Qinglian, all frowned, somewhat confused as to what this "qi" meant.
But another monk from the Tianshan Sect who came with Zhuge Fu showed a shocked expression.
"Qi is a way of saying that we practice martial arts. It actually means popularity." Zhugefu said, "The reason why some places make people feel gloomy and even deteriorate very quickly is because of the lack of this kind of 'qi'." Long
The old Taoist priests in Hushan like to call it 'Yang Qi', which means 'traces of living people'... Whether it is our human race or the demon race, they are actually living creatures, so even if this place is occupied by the demon race,
You should also be angry."
"But now, these yang energy are gone?"
"Yes." Zhugefu nodded, "Although our Tianshan sect majors in Five Elements magic, Yin Yang magic and Five Elements magic actually have something in common, so I have dabbled in it a little bit. Although it is not an expert.
, but because the disappearance of the Qi here was so obvious and weird, I discovered some clues."
Upon hearing Zhugefu's statement, several people present were stunned for a moment.
I felt a chill subconsciously.
Because the Wuthering Mountains are one of the ten most dangerous places, although neither the Tianshan Sect nor Lingjian Villa have ever seen the truly dangerous appearance of the Wuthering Mountains, they have the attitude of preferring to believe what they have over what they don’t, so the two families have arranged
None of the defense zone strongholds penetrated too far into the Whistling Mountains.
But I never expected that such a dangerous and unexpected situation would occur even in such a marginal area.
The Yang energy accumulated over thousands of years was lost almost overnight.
"How could this happen?" Li Qinglian was very puzzled, "We have never found any abnormalities here, but..."
Halfway through her words, Li Qinglian suddenly stopped.
"How..." Zhuge Fu was about to ask, but he understood the reason in an instant, "Fighting!"
Whether it is Lingjian Villa or Tianshan Sect, they have been stationed in the Wuthering Mountains for so many years but there has never been any crisis, so much so that they have almost forgotten that the Wuthering Mountains are one of the ten most dangerous places. But the Nanzhou Monster Clan is here
After invading this defense area, it directly caused changes in the Whistling Mountains. This is really a place worth pondering.
If there is any difference between the two, then there is only the battle that breaks out between the two sides.
Judging from the damage marks on this stronghold, one can imagine how fierce the previous battle was.
Then the only remaining inference is that the reason why the Whistling Mountains became a dangerous place is the bloody fighting.
"Let's go quickly!"
After realizing this, Li Qinglian immediately roared and turned around to leave.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that his vision was blurry for a moment.
Then he saw Zhuge Fu looking at him with a shocked expression, as if he was shouting something.
But Li Qinglian couldn't hear what Zhugefu was talking about at all.
Everything became silent.
As frightened as Zhugefu were the other three, their faces also showed incredible fear.
The next moment, the nauseating smell of blood completely filled the air.
Li Qinglian blinked subconsciously.
The figures of Zhuge Fu and the other three monks had disappeared from Li Qinglian's face.
Even the howling wind stopped blowing.
No.
It's not that the attacks have stopped.
But, he is no longer in the Howling Mountains!
"Oh?" A slightly frivolous voice of surprise suddenly sounded, "Someone has come in again."
Li Qinglian turned around subconsciously.
Then his eyes glazed over.
What kind of Shura scroll was presented in front of him!
Corpses are scattered all over the mountains and plains, and most of them are the bodies of strange-looking creatures: for example, a giant black horse with wings on its back, six legs and hands on its neck; it looks like a human but has eight legs.
Arms, a creature with huge sacs on its back; a male humanoid creature whose arms are almost as thick as an adult man's body, but whose body is quite thin...and so on.
Compared with these strange, ferocious, and terrifying creatures, the hundreds of corpses of Nanzhou monsters who died here are as inconspicuous as docile kittens.
Black, red, green, blue... liquids flowed everywhere, and the nauseating smell was wafted from these liquids - if Li Qinglian thought she had guessed correctly
If so, these liquids should be the blood of the many corpses lying here.
But what really made Li Qinglian feel frightened and uneasy was the person sitting on this "mountain" made of endless corpses.
That's...
A skeleton!
No.
Or maybe the skull is not accurate.
It should be a strange existence that is so thin that it has turned into skin and bones.
The opponent's flesh and blood seemed to have been completely evaporated, leaving only a layer of skin tightly attached to the bones. Although the opponent was wearing a robe, the more he looked like this, the more frightened and uneasy he became.
A huge sense of fear rising in my heart.
Li Qinglian even felt that her inner demon was about to be awakened.
The other party's aura is obviously not very strong.
He could even notice that the other party's cultivation level seemed to be almost the same as his own, and he should also be at the level of the Earthly Immortal Realm.
But for some reason, when facing the skeleton in front of him that he had no idea of its existence, he felt a palpitation in his heart, and his whole body seemed to be dominated by a sense of fear.
Li Qinglian knew that this was because her power was completely suppressed by the opponent.
But when he really wanted to avoid and resist, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
"You...you are..."
"Are you a sword cultivator?" Without giving Li Qinglian a chance to speak, the human skin skeleton suddenly spoke, "Which sect do you belong to?"
"Spirit...Spirit Sword..."
The human-skinned skeleton suddenly raised his eyebrows.
The next moment, Li Qinglian only felt a strong wind blowing up, and the human skin skeleton that was sitting on the "mountain" in front of him had disappeared. But based on the coolness of the strong wind, Li Qinglian knew that the human skeleton was
Leather Skull has come to his side.
But it was only then that a sigh of "so fast" sounded in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing.
Li Qinglian glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the right hand of the human skin skeleton reaching out and suddenly grabbing something.
With just a slight twist, the thing seemed to be broken.
Then I saw the right hand of the human-skinned skeleton constantly kneading it, and the object it had caught in its hand was kneaded into a piece of iron powder.
Then I saw the human-skin skeleton punching out, and a loud explosion was heard in the air.
Li Qinglian didn't even see clearly what the thing trying to attack her was before it exploded into a purple mist.
The fishy smell spread instantly.
It was only then, when she saw the human-skinned skeleton at such a close distance, that Li Qinglian was shocked to find that the skin close to the bones seemed to emit a very unique luster, and there seemed to be a faint golden luster flowing.
.
At this moment, Li Qinglian couldn't help but exclaimed in disbelief: "Golden flesh and jade bones! Perfect martial arts treasure body! Are you... a senior from Dahuang City?"
The human-skinned skeleton glanced at Li Qinglian, and then said lightly: "No."
Li Qinglian saw that this human-skinned skeleton didn't seem to intend to declare his family status. Due to the opponent's overwhelming momentum, he naturally did not dare to ask any more questions, so he had to say: "Senior, may I ask, where is this place?"
"you do not know?"
Li Qinglian shook her head.
"You don't know how you got in here?"
Li Qinglian was speechless immediately.
The human skin skeleton glanced at Li Qinglian again, and then said: "This is the gap between the real world, one of the ten dangerous secret realms in the mysterious world, and the ancient battlefield of the netherworld."
