Deep in the dense forest, it was dark and damp, filled with the strong smell of blood. As a group of people broke in, countless birds and beasts were immediately startled, but they were reluctant to leave too far, hiding in the dark and peeping here.
Several people stopped and glanced left and right, wary of their surroundings.
"Brother Hao, how are you?" a young man asked.
"It is indeed the corpse of a blood lizard. It died not long ago. It should have been done by Junior Brother Li, but why is he missing?" A burly young man said, looking around with doubts.
Everyone looked around with confusion, but except for the swaying shadows of trees and the sounds of beasts coming from time to time, there was no movement.
"Is my junior brother in any danger?" A handsome young man looked worried.
The burly young man shook his head. After looking left and right, he looked further ahead and said, "Look further ahead. If you still can't find it, go back and report it to the elders."
Everyone nodded, then gathered the team and continued moving forward.
…
In the depths of Xuanmu Mountain, a young man was walking quickly, looking a little embarrassed.
Behind the young man, the branches of a giant tree continued to extend, launching attacks on the young man.
The young man was holding a hatchet, and while constantly dodging attacks from branches, he used the hatchet to cut off those branches from time to time.
After a chase, the whole place was instantly in a mess, with trees broken and wild beasts escaping. The young man's expression gradually changed from panic to joy. He simply stopped attacking and led the old locust tree in a circle.
Not long after the chase, the young man suddenly stopped suddenly, his sword intent surged around his body, he held the hatchet in his hand and made a horizontal slash.
The swords are flowing, the swords are glowing, and the young man is like a general on the battlefield, with his sword drawn and his horse drawn.
The old locust tree didn't seem to expect that the young man would suddenly turn around and attack, and just hit the sword light directly, and the huge tree trunk was directly divided into two parts!
Laohuai never understood it until his death. It had helped the Huayang Sect guard Xuanmu Mountain for hundreds of years, and it had worked diligently and never harmed a single disciple. But now, its foundation had been cut off by a Huayang Sect disciple, and its thousands of years of Taoism had turned into a
Nothing.
Lao Huai couldn't understand why a guy who hadn't even practiced qi could directly cut off his thousand-year foundation with a single blow. The key was that the Huayang Sect didn't reveal even the slightest bit of information in advance.
In the past, the disciples sent by Huayang Sect were sharpened by its hands, but now the disciples sent by it directly killed it.
Naturally, the young man didn't know these secrets, and naturally he didn't know that he had caused a big disaster. The young man was full of joy at this moment, because although this old locust tree was not struck by lightning or anything like that, it left a spiritual seed behind, and the old locust tree was gone.
Blocked by Sophora japonica, young people can pick the magical herbs and elixirs around them at will.
These things plus the income from the previous mission, although this trip is only three days, it can be said to be a fruitful harvest. When I go back this time, not to mention the spiritual stones I still owe, even if I buy ten or eight more spiritual treasures,
It is not difficult for teenagers.
Li Xiuping had just finished picking the magical herbs and elixirs around him, and he immediately had a premonition that something was not good. When he looked back, he saw that the air behind him began to fluctuate violently, and then a stream of water vapor rushed towards him. It was so rich that the young man felt like he was breathing.
Everything that enters the body is water vapor.
At this moment, the young man realized that he seemed to have been in trouble, and it was a serious disaster. As for how big it was, he didn't know yet and had no time to think about it.
An unprecedented crisis suddenly haunted the young man's mind. It was a terrifying aura that came closer and closer, as if something was awakening from behind the water vapor, carrying a terrifying power that could destroy the world.
Li Xiuping didn't dare to think too much, let alone stop at all. He stuffed everything into the Qiankun bag and ran away.
…
In Huayang Sect, the warning bell that has not sounded for hundreds of years is ringing continuously at this moment, echoing in the two doors inside and outside Huayang Sect, lingering in the sky for a long time.
Inner door.
Zhengyang Hall.
The elder's face was livid at the moment, and he said solemnly: "Did he really kill that old locust tree?"
An elder also had an ugly expression on his face and nodded: "It's absolutely true. The Qi of thousands of years of foundation has been dissipated, and the Qi of Wujue Mountain is in chaos. It's okay to go up to the third level. After all, there are no disciples in the sect, so you can go down to the second level..."
He shook his head and continued: "Now that the leader is not here, I still ask the great elder to make a decision."
"Who put him in Xuanmu Mountain? How did he come across that old locust tree?" The great elder said, seeming to realize that this was not the time for accountability, and said in a deep voice, "Password immediately.
, all the disciples in Shuiyun Mountain and Xuanmu Mountain, all quit, no matter who they are! All the elders’ own foundation-building disciples immediately went to Xuanmu Mountain to stabilize the situation and reduce casualties. From now on, Xuanmu Mountain is completely closed, without permission, any disciples
No entry allowed.”
After the great elder finished speaking, he should leave Zhengyang Palace first and fly towards the direction of Xuanmu Mountain...
"All disciples immediately stop everything they are doing, leave Xuanmu Mountain, and return to the sect without any mistakes!"
Above Xuanmu Mountain, an old voice sounded and spread continuously.
"All foundation builders and above, regardless of elders or disciples, gather at Xuanmu Mountain as soon as possible without delay!"
Old voices sounded one after another.
"what happened?"
This is the common doubt of all the disciples who are training in Xuanmu Mountain.
"Senior Brother Hao, what's going on? Is something going to happen to my junior brother?"
Several alchemy disciples were hesitating whether to continue moving forward, when they suddenly heard the elder's message, and they all frowned.
They were originally chasing Li Xiuping, but now Li Xiuping suddenly disappeared without a trace. Then the elder directly sent a message to everyone to leave Xuanmu Mountain, and also asked all the disciples and elders above the foundation level to enter Xuanmu Mountain immediately. It was obvious that this Xuanmu Mountain was
Something great happened in Mushan.
This kind of large-scale gathering rarely happens in Xuanyang Sect, unless something happens that shakes the entire sect. But what can Junior Brother Li do that shakes the entire sect?
The disciple surnamed Hao said: "Since the elders have already mobilized, we can't help if we stay here. We need to exit Xuanmu Mountain first, and then find a way to find out what happened."
Everyone nodded, took a look into the depths of Xuanmu Mountain, and then turned around and returned the same way.
Li Xiuping's brows were furrowed and he was extremely embarrassed.
Until this moment, he had not figured out why so many third-order monsters suddenly appeared, and their strength was far superior to ordinary third-order monsters. The key was that after those monsters appeared, they chased him all the way.
Can't even shake it off.
Hearing the message from the Huayang Sect elder, Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown even deeper. During this brief moment of confusion, several third-level monsters chased after him and started to attack Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping's mind froze, and he whipped out the hatchet in his hand. Using the power of this swing, his body slid back along the ground, avoiding the attacks from the two monster beasts, one on the left and the other on the right.
After stabilizing his body, Li Xiuping turned pale.
When it comes to understanding monsters, Li Xiuping considers himself to be as good as any foundation-building monk. After all, he has seen a lot of foundation-building monsters in the Night Travel Division in the past two years, and even killed many. But these monsters in front of him,
Li Xiuping has never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
If you have never seen it and don't know it, you naturally don't know its strength, let alone kill it.
Looking at the monster beasts that were getting closer and closer, Li Xiuping's face became more and more ugly. He held the hatchet tightly with his right hand, and took out the two spiritual treasures he had borrowed before with his left hand.
Always be ready to throw it out.
Li Xiuping can be sure that what follows will be an extremely brutal battle, even more brutal than the fight with the foundation-building monk.
There were so many foundation-building monsters and he didn't understand them at all. Li Xiuping really couldn't see any possibility of winning.
So how to escape is what he should consider now.
Although he didn't know why so many foundation-building monsters appeared, Li Xiuping had a feeling that this must be related to the old locust tree he killed before.
Of course, now is not the time to understand the cause and effect.
Li Xiuping felt that since the elders of the Huayang Sect had already sent word and had obviously discovered the situation here, they must have entered Xuanmu Mountain now and were thinking of ways to solve this sudden change.
Therefore, as long as he finds the Huayang Sect elder, his life can be guaranteed. As for punishment, it is nothing compared to his own life.
After making up his mind, Li Xiuping glanced around to find what he thought was the best escape route. Then he poured the power in his body into one of the magic weapons and threw it forward. Then his feet suddenly exerted force and his body shook.
It rose up from the ground and landed on a curved tree trunk. Gravity caused the tree to bend to a limit and then rebounded back. Li Xiuping used this rebounding force to shoot out his entire body like an arrow, and plunged headlong into the ground.
Enter the dense forest on the side.
The magic weapon exploded and roared like thunder. Countless monsters that rushed up were frightened and backed away. After calming down, they looked forward and saw that the human boy was no longer there.
Countless monsters roared, then looked for the scent left by the human boy and chased after him...
On the outskirts of Xuanmu Mountain, countless disciples are gathering, including both inner disciples and outer disciples, all with confused faces.
After many disciples saw fellow disciples they knew and were familiar with, they leaned forward and wanted to ask what was going on. But no one knew clearly, so they could only look at each other, and in the end they did not get the answer.
At this time, an elder appeared out of thin air, scanned the crowd with his eyes, and said loudly: "Something happened to the old locust tree guarding Xuanmu Mountain. Now that the obstacles of Xuanmu Mountain and Shuiyun Mountain have disappeared, a large number of monsters from Shuiyun Mountain have disappeared.
are pouring into Xuanmu Mountain. In addition, under the influence of the spiritual energy of Shuiyun Mountain, the strength of the monsters on Xuanmu Mountain will also increase greatly in a short period of time. Now there are countless experienced disciples of our sect in Xuanmu Mountain, so all the disciples are called here
, is to allow you and others to enter Xuanmu Mountain for rescue."
All Huayang Sect disciples looked stunned, never expecting such a situation.
Doesn’t this mean that from now on, only foundation-building monks can enter the entire Xuanmu Mountain?
And this change is tantamount to a heavy blow to the Huayang Sect, which is currently in decline.
Because today’s Huayang Sect, the number of disciples who have established the foundation can be counted on one hand.
