In addition to practicing, Yuwen Zhouyuan also paid special attention to one thing. There were dozens of teams sent out of the city every day, but very few of them came back alive, less than half.
In just two months, at least 10,000 to 20,000 low-level monks were killed. Most of them were Zhenqi monks, and a few were Zhenyuan monks. Even those who returned to the city alive were mostly scarred. After the battle outside the city,
Intense, it shows.
Yuwen Zhouyuan watched on the top of the city for two months, becoming increasingly silent.
If Zhenqi monks are like ants, no one will pay attention to them even if they die, then Zhenyuan monks are just a piece of cake, not much better than Zhenqi monks.
In this kind of chaotic war in the world of immortality, only the monks in the late stage of true masters have enough strength to save their lives. Other monks below this level of cultivation are cannon fodder and must work hard to survive.
He strongly felt the insignificance of his own strength, and a sense of urgency to enhance his own strength arose spontaneously.
After a month, along with the ordinary casual cultivators in Dongluohe City, the small family cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of Zhenqi stage cultivators who were able to fight were killed.
On the contrary, the monks guarding the city from various sects remained in the city. For a time, the hundreds of thousands of ordinary monks in the city were extremely resentful. They complained about injustice and refused to go to war.
The ancestors of the various sects could not withstand this pressure. In order to quell their grievances, they decided to let the monks from each sect defend the city to fight. The true essence monks from each sect who were responsible for defending the city were finally sent out to fight.
Late that night, Yuwen Zhouyuan and more than thirty True Yuan cultivators from the Lieyang Sect were on standby at the top of the northwest city. Elder Yan, a late-stage real-life cultivator from the Lieyang Sect, slowly came to the top of the city and looked at the Lieyang cultivators with a smile.
"Uncle Yan!" All Lieyang True Essence cultivators stood up one after another and held their hands in salute.
Elder Yan smiled and nodded and said to everyone: "Uncle Dongfang has made a decision. The following ten disciples will immediately leave the city to carry out a combat mission. Zhao Dongbo, Yuwen Zhouyuan, Wang Gui, Long Qiyun, Ma Yuehua...
..Liu Mode, the ten of you will go to the Glacier Cold Valley in the Dongluo River Mountains tonight. There are medium-sized ice spirit stone deposits in the Glacier Cold Valley. After the ten of you arrive at the Glacier Cold Valley, if you find any other monks from the world of immortality
When mining, carry out sneak attacks and interfere. If no enemy monks are found mining, they will lurk here and wait for the enemy monks to appear. If nothing else happens, there will definitely be other monks from the world of immortality coming here to collect ice spirit stones. After all,
This place is the medium-sized ice spirit stone mine closest to Dongluo River City. You are all the most outstanding disciples of our Lieyang Sect. You can gain meritorious service after going into battle. Killing an enemy with the same cultivation level as yourself can
Return to the city to rest for three months and kill three enemies who are fellow practitioners. You don't have to go to war anymore. Even if you go to war, you can still get generous spiritual stone rewards. In addition, after the war, you will be granted a family fiefdom, and disciples with outstanding merits will also be given.
We will get the best fiefdom first, and I also hope that all the apprentice nephews will do their best and make great achievements for our Lieyang Sect and the Dongluo River Realm."
"Yes, Master Yan!" The Lieyang disciples who were named came out and shouted in unison, feeling a little excited. Most of them were from casual cultivators without any foundation. After having a family fiefdom, it meant that they would also be able to
Establishing a family can continue to pass it on.
There are more than thirty real-life monks from the Lieyang Sect guarding the city in Dongluohe City, but only ten of them were sent out to fight this time. The rest stayed in the city to continue to defend the city and prepare for the war, waiting for follow-up orders.
In this way, after some encouragement from Elder Yan, ten Lieyang monks quietly left Dongluo River City and entered the vast mountains to attack the local monks.
Of course, the nine major forces and the twelve sects all sent their own teams. Outside of Dongluo River City, except for a group of invading foreign monks who bombarded the city defense formation every day, the city was not completely surrounded.
.
Although the main force of the monks from the world of immortality who entered the Dongluo River is still near Dongluo River City, a large number of low-level monks have dispersed, collecting spiritual objects everywhere.
War in the world of cultivators often lasts for a very long time. Fighting for more than ten years or even decades is commonplace. Now it has only been two or three years, the decisive battle has not yet begun, and the monks on both sides of the enemy are not in a hurry.
It was not difficult for Yuwen Zhouyuan and others to leave Dongluohe City. They left the city under darkness. What was difficult was surviving outside the city.
...
To the west of Dongluohe City is the Dongluohe Mountains, which is millions of miles in circumference. It is a primitive jungle with countless monsters, beasts and rare birds. It is also where the mountain gates of the nineteen immortal sects in the Dongluohe Realm are located.
The Glacier Cold Valley is an extremely cold area in the mountains that is hundreds of miles in radius. A large glacier covers the entire valley. The Glacier Cold Valley is rich in ice spirit stones. There are many ice monsters here, and very few monks come here.
Because there are not many ice monks in the Dongluo River Realm, the consumption of ice spirit stones is very small, and the ice spirit stones here have not been exhausted.
Many of the outside monks who invaded this time were mainly water and ice types, so the senior leaders of Lieyang Sect concluded that there must be monks coming here to dig for ice spiritual stones.
More than a dozen Lieyang True Essence monks each prepared themselves. After leaving the city, they did not immediately fly with their swords, but chose to run on the ground so that they would not be easily discovered by enemy monks.
These ten of them all joined the Lieyang Sect as casual cultivators and became the True Yuan disciples of the Lieyang Sect. Six of them were in the lower level of True Yuan and only four were in the middle level of True Yuan. However, their ages were completely different.
The old one has gray hair, a frown on his face, and is weak and weak. He is already one hundred, fifty or sixty years old, and will soon run out of life in a few decades, while the younger ones, such as Yu Wen Zhouyuan and Liu Mo
De and a few other people have succeeded in attaining true power at a very young age, and they still have one or two hundred years to live.
Of course, they didn't know that Yuwen Zhouyuan was not in the True Yuan stage at all but a late-stage real person monk!
Running at the front was Zhao Dongbo, a middle-aged male monk with a dark face and an ordinary appearance. He had a cultivation level of the ninth level of the True Essence and was the one with the highest cultivation level among the dozen or so Lieyang monks.
After leaving the city, he immediately automatically became the leader of the crowd and led the team to the Dongluo River Mountains.
Yuwen Zhouyuan currently only shows a cultivation level of the fifth level of true essence, which is not very high. However, he ranks second among the ten Lieyang monks.
After leaving the city, they rushed toward the Dongluo River Grand Canyon. Yuwen Zhouyuan quickly noticed that their team of ten people gradually distanced themselves, one behind the other.
The ones running at the front were Zhao Dongbo, Wang Gui and other five monks. They seemed to be in a group and hurried on, while those behind were five monks including Yuwen Zhouyuan, Liu Mode and others.
Yuwen Zhouyuan thought for a moment and understood the reason.
This was not caused by the gap in cultivation, but because of the different ideas of going into battle. Take him for example, he never thought about killing other monks in the world of immortality to achieve military exploits.
Killing one thousand enemies will result in eight hundred losses for oneself. No monk is so easy to kill, so don’t get yourself involved.
Go to the Glacier Cold Valley, as long as you can return to Dongluo River City alive, and try to avoid encounters with enemy monks. No matter how great your military exploits are, you have to live to enjoy them.
Therefore, Yuwen Zhouyuan was naturally not in a hurry, and unconsciously slowed down a bit, falling behind.
And Liu Mode is just like him. He usually looks careless and careless, but he never steps forward when in danger. It is almost impossible for Liu Mode to actively fight with the enemy monks.
.
Zhao Dongbo and others, however, seem to be very eager to achieve military exploits. If they want to improve their status in the sect, obtain a good fiefdom, and create a reputation in the Dongluo River Immortal Cultivation World, achieving military exploits is a simple shortcut.
Everyone has different ideas. Although they are all sent out to fight, they have completely different mentality.
Yuwen Zhouyuan laughed at himself in his heart and hurried on without haste.
Zhao Dongbo ran at the front and reached the Donluo River Grand Canyon by the faint starlight. As soon as he flew over the Grand Canyon, he entered the vast Dongluo River Mountains.
Zhao Dongbo looked back at this moment, only to find that he was followed closely behind by four Lieyang monks who were usually close to him, while Yuwen Zhouyuan, Long Qiyun, Liu Mode and others were hundreds of feet behind.
Zhao Dongbo suddenly said with a cold face: "What's going on with you guys? If you fail to complete the task of sabotaging the enemy monks' collection of spiritual stones and are punished by the great elder, who will bear the responsibility?"
"Hmph, Junior Brother Zhao, it's not easy for us to cultivate to this point. Why are you working so hard? Do you need to work so hard for this small reward from the sect? It's not worth losing your life for nothing. You have to fight to get to the front.
Don't drag others with you." Long Qiyun, the oldest among the people, said in a neutral tone.
Long Qiyun has lived for more than a hundred years and has a deep understanding of the hardships of the path of cultivation. He is only at the fourth level of true energy now. The older he gets, the less he wants to die.
Zhao Dongbo's face suddenly turned ugly. Isn't this old man Long Qiyun mocking them for coveting the sect's rewards? What's wrong with him wanting to make contributions to the sect?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Yuwen Zhouyuan pondered for a moment and persuaded: "It's better to do this. It's too much for us ten Zhenyuan monks to move together. It's more flexible to divide it into two Zhenyuan teams of five people. Two Zhenyuan teams
We are several miles apart on the left and right, so we can support each other in time. After arriving at the Glacier Cold Valley, go and see the situation there first. If the enemy is very weak, then attack together. If the enemy is too strong, retreat first and discuss how to deal with the enemy. Everyone
What do you think, brothers?"
At Yuwen Zhouyuan's suggestion, the monks readily accepted Yuwen Zhouyuan's suggestion that they should be divided into two teams to act independently, leaning against each other for easy support.
Since everyone has different ideas, it is better to act separately. Moreover, the number of people is smaller, and the movement is more flexible. In case of a surprise attack, as long as they are not too far apart, a distance of several miles is only a few miles for a Zhenyuan monk.
In the blink of an eye, the monks each threw their flying magic weapons and flew over the long and narrow Dongluo River Dafeng Valley and entered the Dongluo River Mountains.
In the evening of the next day, a group of Sun monks arrived at a valley with a radius of several hundred miles in the Dongluo River Mountains. Except for the surrounding tall glaciers, everything in the entire valley was shrouded in thick fog.
It's impossible to see clearly what's going on inside the sky.
Several long and narrow paths run through the entire forest. Unlike the bright sunshine in the basin, the dense and dark glacial cold valley is shrouded in a black and blue mist, giving the monks a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.
