Li Qiuyu embarked on the journey to the front line with nearly 10,000 recruits. It was also the first time that he saw the general of the Qilin Legion, an old man in his sixties, whose cultivation had reached the early stage of foundation building.
There are more than a dozen guards at the tenth level of Qi training around him, all of whom are at the level of captains, and there are also two commanders in the early stage of foundation building.
After half a month of training, Wanduo's new recruits basically had the appearance of soldiers. All that was left was the tempering of blood and fire. Li Qiuyu mingled with the other recruits and was inconspicuous at all.
Occasionally, I see ten-centurions or centurions who are at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training. Although their cultivation is not in Li Qiuyu's eyes, the monks who have gone through the war are not experienced killing machines.
Ordinary martial arts masters who have gained experience in the army are no match for them even if they are at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training. He does not dare to underestimate these soldiers who are at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training.
Although the Qilin Army is within the confines of Tailong City, it is still nearly a thousand miles away from the real battlefield. For a monk like Li Qiuyu, a thousand miles away only takes a few hours, but for an ordinary army, it takes ten days.
It takes time to get there.
Except for centurions and above who can ride horses, other soldiers walk on foot. The distance is more than a hundred miles a day, which does not affect Li Qiuyu at all. He walks side by side with other soldiers as if he is walking.
A few days passed, and when we saw that we were less than 200 miles away from Tailong City Pass, it stands to reason that Tianlong's troops were everywhere within 200 miles of Tailong City, and the enemy had no chance to cross Tailong City's defense and enter Tianlong territory.
But everything has exceptions. For example, many important officials in Tianlong were assassinated, and important generals in the army were no exception. However, those who came to assassinate army generals were definitely top masters. The enemy would not be stupid enough to use the army to assassinate Tianlong's generals.
pinglingguan
Pingling Pass is the grand canyon closest to Tailong City. The Qilin Legion's tens of thousands of troops arrived here. There was no human habitation for dozens of miles. After seven or eight days of long journey, most of the recruits were exhausted and their defenses were greatly reduced.
.
The scout troops in front found no trace of the enemy. No matter which country's army, when marching, there are special scout troops in front to explore the road, and they are plotted by the enemy.
Li Qiuyu looked at the terrain of Pingling Pass and felt an inexplicable chill in his mind. He frowned and gave a cautious look to Zhang Tianhang and the others around him.
Although he didn't know what was going to happen, it was just his instinct as a monk at the top of the tenth level of Qi training, and his instinctive reaction to things that threatened him.
He didn't know how to lead troops in battle, but he didn't believe that the enemy would appear inside after dawn, and he was still within the range of Tianlong Kingdom's heavy troops. However, the inexplicable vigilance just now made him pay more attention to Pingling Pass.
There were cliffs dozens of feet high on both sides. The army had to pass through two cliffs before crossing Pingling Pass. He slowly extended his spiritual consciousness, and the cliffs three hundred feet away were imprinted in his mind.
As the army advanced, the cliff got closer and closer to the army, and Li Qiuyu's spiritual consciousness slowly scanned the entire cliff, but there was no trace of the enemy.
Suddenly, the correction rider in front also stopped. Li Qiuyu looked at the applications of the dozen or so people in front of him, and all of them had solemn expressions on their faces.
Then the troops behind them all stopped, and the recruits had a look of joy on their faces, thinking it was time to rest, but they didn't know that the danger was approaching.
"General, I'm going to take a look at the front." A young captain bowed respectfully to the correction officer.
"Okay, be careful."
"I know." The young commander swayed and quickly flew towards the cliff. A seven-foot spear appeared in his hand. In a few breaths, the young commander was already on the cliff.
Li Qiuyu's consciousness is firmly locked on Qiantu Commander. As long as the enemy attacks him, he will know the enemy's location and strength.
Not only him, but other monks as well. The other monks did not notice at all that when the young captain entered within a hundred feet of the pass, there was a strange sway in the air. Even the two commanders in the early stage of foundation building did not notice it. They only corrected
The ride feels wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong.
Li Qiuyu caught this strange turmoil. Ever since he encountered the Nine Palaces Tianxuan Formation in the space crack, he began to study the formation. Although he could not arrange the Nine Palaces Tianxuan Formation, he also understood the formations.
Quite a few.
The Nine Palaces Tianxuan Formation is a strange formation. If Li Qiuyu had not just obtained the true solution to the Tianxuan Formation and saw the method of cracking it, no one would have thought of it.
As he went up and down again, his vision naturally became sharper. He finally guessed that the enemy had used a formation to encircle the cliff within two hundred feet of Pinglingguan. It seemed that when his consciousness entered the formation, the enemy also noticed it.
He shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed that he was not careful. Although this formation was not an attack formation, it was a defensive formation. It was designed to allow the target to enter the formation and cut off external assistance.
The formation is transparent, and outsiders can see every move inside, and even the voices can be heard. As long as the caster is willing, it will be difficult for outsiders to enter.
The young commander patrolled both sides of the cliff and found nothing wrong, so he turned around and flew back. Soon, the young commander returned to the correction rider smoothly.
"General, I haven't found anything wrong at all." The young captain said respectfully.
"Where is the Formation Master?" The Coroner Cavalry ignored the Thousand Commander just now and shouted loudly behind him. He was also an old soldier who had been fighting for decades, and he was also a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Naturally, he would not be so easy to fool.
"My subordinates are here." Three monks in plain clothes strolled out and said softly. These three people were all old men at about the ninth level of Qi training. Judging from their clothes, they were not regular sergeants of the Tianlong Kingdom, but guest officials.
existence.
"Please take a look at the three of you to see if there is anything wrong in front of you." The correction rider said politely. Although he is in the foundation building stage and is a general of the Qilin Legion, formation mages are very rare, and these three are still guests of Tianlong.
"Okay, just leave it to the subordinates and others." The three of them walked forward for a few feet and stood firm. They were sitting in the beast cart. They didn't know what happened at the beginning. Naturally, they didn't know that there was an array in front of them.
Law.
The three people waved their hands, and a strange disc appeared in each hand. Strange runes were engraved on the disc. Li Qiuyu glanced at it with his consciousness and was stunned. This disc seemed to be different from the Bagua.
As the three people injected their true energy, the disk emitted a burst of gray light. The three rays of light merged into one and shot straight forward. There was a shaking in the air, but there was no accident at all.
Only three monks in the foundation building stage and the other tenth level of Qi training noticed the strange changes in the air. The three formation masters took the disk back and looked at each other for a few times.
"All dharmas are unified, and heaven and earth are pure."
The three of them shouted at the same time, their hands kept changing, the air kept twisting, and the formation master's face gradually turned pale, but the formation in the air did not appear at all.
The nearly 10,000 monks behind them also felt something strange. They were all mortals with no cultivation. Naturally, they could not understand the purpose of the three of them. They could only clearly feel the fluctuations in the air.
"Puff puff puff."
The three formation masters all spat out a mouthful of blood, their bodies swayed, and they almost fell to the ground. There was a look of horror on their faces. The three of them were all formation masters, so they naturally knew how powerful the formation in front of them was.
Following the fluctuations of the formation, Li Qiuyu finally discovered that the master of the formation was an old man in his seventies who was in the middle stage of foundation building. There were five monks at the tenth level of Qi training around him.
Six people formed a small formation, and then formed a forbidden formation with a radius of two hundred feet. He also saw what the formation was.
Six Yin Forbidden Heaven Formation
It’s no wonder that the three formation masters couldn’t break the formation presided over by the mid-stage Foundation Establishment stage. This formation alone, even if it wasn’t presided over by the monks in the Foundation Establishment stage, couldn’t be broken by the three ninth-level Qi training masters.
Even if six monks at the ninth level of Qi training were in charge of the formation, a monk in the middle stage of foundation building might not be able to break it. Li Qiuyu looked at the formation, with a hint of caution on his face.
The person who just used the formation was in the middle stage of foundation building. There must be helpers around, and they may not be easy to deal with, otherwise they would not ambush the generals of the Qilin Legion in the Tianlong territory.
"General, the subordinates and others are incompetent and cannot break this formation. This song formation is defensive. Once you go in, it will be difficult to get out, and people from outside can't go in to help." A formation master wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
After a moment, he said in despair.
"Three of you are tired. Please go in and rest and heal. I'll think of a solution." The correction rider looked at the three formation mages and said calmly.
Then he slowly walked forward and came to the place where the formation master was casting spells. The other two commanders and more than ten thousand captain-level guards followed closely behind.
"Brother Li, do you have a way to break this formation?" Zhang Tianhang's mouth moved, forcing his voice to reach Li Qiuyu's ears.
"This formation is the Six Yin Forbidden Heaven Formation. It is not difficult to break, but it is a little troublesome. The most terrifying thing is the people hidden inside. The ones in charge of the formation are monks in the middle stage of foundation building and five tenth-level Qi practitioners."
Li Qiuyu said through a message.
"Brother Li, are you saying that besides the mid-stage Foundation Establishment and the five tenth-level Qi Cultivation Stages, there are other Foundation Establishment Stage monks?" Zhang Tianhang's expression tightened and he looked at Li Qiuyu.
"Yes, it seems we have to take action, we can no longer hide it." After Li Qiuyu finished speaking, he leaned towards He Yunlong.
"Captain Ten, I have seen this formation before. How about I try it?" Li Qiuyu came to He Yunlong's side and said softly.
"Have you seen this formation? Can it be broken?" He Yunlong saw Li Qiuyu coming over, with a slightly puzzled look on his face. Finally, when he heard Li Qiuyu said that he had seen the formation in front of him, he asked in surprise.
"I'll give it a try, maybe I can break it." Li Qiuyu said calmly.
"Okay, I'll go find the Centurion for instructions." After He Yunlong said that, he walked forward to ask for instructions from the Centurion.
