On an isolated island in the East China Sea, Hu Shan and others stood in the sky, staring at the real dragon bone exuding majestic dragon power in front of them, and huge mana continued to pour into it.
Four huge true dragon bones, with the infusion of four vast mana powers, the ancient mysterious runes on them gradually lit up. Finally, four light pillars rose from the dragon bones into the sky, intertwining continuously in the void.
Not long after, a huge formation with an isolated island as its core, covering a hundred miles in radius, exuded terrifying pressure and slowly took shape in the void.
"hidden!"
The next moment, as the four people shouted loudly in unison, the formation in the void, and as the true dragon bone disappeared into the void, the sea and sky returned to calm.
Just when Yan Zhixue thought the matter was over, Elder Hushan took out two formation diagrams again and looked at the island with sharp eyes.
"Although this island is close to Donghua Cave Heaven on Penglai Immortal Island, it is precisely because of this that the energy of heaven and earth here is much richer than that of other places in the East China Sea, so it is suitable for setting up a large formation."
Hushan glanced at the other three people, and the old voice slowly floated over the island.
"Fellow Taoists, we still need the four of us to work together to deploy these two sets of defensive formations."
After that, he threw the two formation diagrams in his hands into the void.
Seeing this, the other three people activated their spells one after another, and four terrifying rays of magical light fell on the formation diagram.
"Get into formation!"
In the void, two formation diagrams engraved with mysterious runes were seen, growing in the wind and merging with each other.
In an instant, the sea area covering hundreds of miles in radius has been completely covered.
The Yuan Qi of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles of the isolated island was all boiling at this moment, and waves of Yuan Qi visible to the naked eye poured into the array crazily.
After a long time, when Zhou Tianyuan Qi returned to calm again, the two huge formations in the void had completely disappeared over the isolated island, as if they had never existed.
"Well, with these two defensive formations and a few others like me, we won't be afraid even if the Seven Star Lords of Penglai come to attack in person."
Langxiao carefully felt the formation fluctuations in the void, and then said with satisfaction.
"Ling Yue thanks you all for your hard work."
"Your Highness, you are welcome."
The four people standing not far from Nangong Lingyue looked at Nangong Lingyue's solemn salute, with a smile on their lips, and they all bowed their hands.
"Okay, sister, Uncle Oxmastiff, Uncle Langxiao, Auntie Huyan, and the Great Elder of Hushan, we are not in Qingqiu Mountain now. Aren't you tired of being so restrained?"
Looking at the solemn expressions of the people in front of her, Yan Zhixue took Hu Yan's arm and said coquettishly.
"Haha, you girl, as Ling Yue came to the human world and experienced these years, you have become more and more lawless."
As he said that, Fox Smoke gently scratched Yan Zhixue's nose, and smiled and cursed fondly.
"Auntie loves Zhixue the most."
Looking at the coquettish and cute girl in front of them, the people in Hushan also smiled and did not feel dissatisfied at all. This shows that Yan Zhixue must have been a well-loved figure when she was in Qingqiu.
With a smile on his face, Hu Shan gently stroked his beard under his chin, turned to look at Nangong Lingyue, and said with a smile:
"Ling Yue, now that we are ready, you can release all the calamity energy in your soul and guide the calamity to come."
"There's no rush, Great Elder."
When Nangong Lingyue heard this, she smiled calmly.
"The calamity energy in Ling Yue's soul can be suppressed for the time being. I'll wait for Kunlun's Daoist Xie."
After saying that, Nangong Lingyue looked into the void in the distance and said lightly.
"Perhaps, he will arrive soon."
As soon as these words came out, the four of them frowned. Hu Shan's eyes fell on Nangong Lingyue.
"Ling Yue, your mission to save the tribulation this time is related to the Divine Whip and the great destiny of the Nuwa Empress. Before coming, the Lord of the Kingdom specifically stated that no problems will be allowed to arise."
As he said that, Hu Shan's old eyes were full of solemnity, and he saluted Nangong Lingyue solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"However, from the tone of Her Highness the Princess, it seems that this person from Kunlun was invited by Her Highness. Please forgive me for being stupid and please help us clear up my doubts."
Hearing that the great elder Hushan no longer called him by his real name, but instead addressed him by his status as a member of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom. Nangong Lingyue frowned slightly and looked up, seeing a hint of anger on Hushan's weathered face.
Nangong Lingyue knew in her heart that if she did not give a reasonable explanation to these people today, then the great elder of the nine-tailed fox clan who had doted on her since she was a child would definitely have a huge prejudice against her.
Even if it is against the order of the king, he will do his best to protect himself during this calamity. However, when he returns to Qingqiu afterwards, with his upright character, he will definitely report the situation to the king and demand severe punishment for himself.
Thinking of this, Nangong Lingyue didn't feel the slightest panic in her heart. She looked into Hu Shan's eyes calmly, and her voice was as calm as ever.
"Great Elder, please be patient. Ling Yue has her own considerations on this matter. Please also listen to Ling Yue's explanation, Great Elder."
After listening to Nangong Lingyue's explanation, the solemn expressions on the faces of Hu Shan and others gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of surprise.
Hushan's wrinkled face seemed to become more and more ravaged. After thinking for a long time, I was still a little confused:
"Is this Kunlun disciple really connected to the divine whip? Ling Yue, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Great Elder, Ling Yue will never be wrong about this. This is exactly why he was called here this time."
Ling Yue frowned, thought for a moment, and said slowly.
"Ling Yue has always felt that there is an inexplicable connection between Kunlun's Daoist Xie and the Divine Whip. Perhaps there will be some unexpected gains by then."
"But, from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of such a thing?"
After Hushan finished speaking, he turned to look at the beautiful woman in palace clothes beside him.
"Sister Fox Yan, you are in charge of the scripture library of our Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom. Have you ever seen anything like this in ancient books?"
As soon as Hu Shan finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Hu Yan.
Hu Yan thought for a long time, and finally shook his head slightly.
"Hey, who cares? Didn't Her Highness the Princess also say so? That boy from Kunlun should be arriving soon. When the time comes, just arrest him and torture him."
Looking at the frowning faces of everyone, the Bullmastiff's solution can be said to be very characteristic of the Kui Niu clan's life style, which is always so rough and bold.
"Humph, what a fool."
Langxiao looked at the nonchalant look of the bullmastiff, with a trace of ridicule hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"That boy from Kunlun is the direct disciple of Master Kunlun. Believe it or not, now that you have captured him, someone from Kunlun will soon hit Qingqiu with his nose."
As he said that, he glanced sideways at the bullmastiff and continued:
"And it's about beating the magic whip. For such a big event, there will definitely be elders from Kunlun who will come with him."
"Hey, this doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so what should I do?"
Listening to Wolf Howl's words, the Bullmastiff kept rubbing his already messy hair with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and asked in a low voice.
"Is it true that this imitation of the divine whip and related information will be given to the people of Kunlun?"
Seeing the distress on everyone's faces, Nangong Lingyue smiled sweetly.
"Don't worry, everyone. Even if we reveal this news to the people in Kunlun, there is no harm."
"Why?"
Hearing this, everyone raised their heads and looked towards Nangong Lingyue.
"Haha, before I went into seclusion, I had already informed the king of the country about the location where I would get the divine whip. Presumably, the king of the country has already made arrangements for this matter."
"Hahaha, I'm so old that my eyesight is blinded."
Seeing Nangong Lingyue's confident look, Hu Shan also stroked his beard and smiled.
Suddenly, Hu Shan's expression changed, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked into the distance into space.
"It seems that the people from Kunlun are also here."
As soon as Hu Shan finished speaking, a stream of blue light appeared in the distant horizon, quickly heading towards the location of the isolated island.
"Fellow Taoist Nangong, you are well."
Xie Heng's hearty laughter echoed in the void along with the waves of the sea.
