Volume Two: The Wind Rises and Spiritual Clouds Chapter 128: Advance the Plan
Going to the battlefield, there is no such project!
Xiaopang protested strongly: "I am an alchemist, not a warrior! Even if you break my legs today or beat me to death, I won't go!"
Lin Dongjiu glanced at him and said calmly: "I'll give you some recipes for refining fruit-flavored elixirs later."
"Okay!"
After about a quarter of an hour, the registration team finally reached Lin Dongjiu and the others.
The person who received them was Cao Yushan. After registering Yuan Cai, when they arrived at Lin Dongjiu, Cao Yushan couldn't help but ask: "Boss, do you also want to go to the battlefield?"
"certainly!"
Lin Dongjiu made up two names at random and wrote them down without commenting.
After registration of this group of teams, about a hundred people formed a team. The person in charge was Elder Lan Qiong, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Elder Lan Qiong walked out of the residence. She was wearing a tight-fitting Taoist robe and armor. Her hair was tied up high with a hosta. Her already plump figure, coupled with this powerful outfit, made everyone look at her.
One light.
Lin Dongjiu didn't have time to admire Elder Lan Qiong's appearance. He could only see the tiredness in her beautiful eyes, which must have been exhausted by this war.
Elder Lan Qiong glanced at Lin Dongjiu's team, and then at the team behind them who were continuing their grand display, and then his sullen face relaxed a little.
She explained some precautions, and at the same time asked several disciples to pay half of the rewards, and then led the team towards the outside of the city.
Cao Yushan and Lu Dajin took the initiative to invite Elder Lan Qiong and followed him. In fact, they wanted to stay by Lin Dongjiu's side.
They followed Lin Dongjiu's order and did not dare to chat too much with him in private, but they frequently came over, which still attracted many other Luoxia Sect disciples to look at him and ask questions.
However, Cao Yushan used Lin Dongjiu's excuses to excuse him.
Elder Lan Qiong walked in front of the team, while Lin Dongjiu and the others deliberately walked at the back.
His cultivation at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm was quite satisfactory, but Xiaopang's cultivation at the Yingguan Realm was definitely outstanding among the team. He didn't know if Elder Lan Qiong had noticed Xiaopang.
If Lan Qiong deliberately observes, the cultivation level of the two people cannot be hidden from her eyes.
But fortunately, there is not only a fat little crane in the chicken flock, but also a few middle-aged casual cultivators from the Yingguan Realm in the team.
The middle-aged casual cultivators walked in front of the team and kept getting close to Elder Lan Qiong.
Elder Lan Qiong frowned slightly, as if it was because it was not easy to recruit several casual cultivators of the Ying Guan Realm, so he suppressed his words and did not reprimand him.
After half a day's journey, it was dusk.
Where the team was, the earth was cracked, with cracks spreading into the distance like spider webs. The peaks not far away seemed to have been cut away by a sword, revealing a smooth flat top.
The trees in the forest on both sides were uprooted, as if they had been trampled by a tide of beasts, and their branches and trunks were scattered all over the ground.
Looking into the distance, we can see plains and ravines, rivers changing their courses, and valleys leveling...
And this is just a change in the landform. What is even more terrifying is that everywhere you look, there are traces of the war, and some remaining magical powers have not dissipated, releasing a terrifying aura in place.
The further we walked, the more eerie it became, as if we were trapped in a dead place with no trace of life left.
It seems that we have reached the edge of the battlefield... Lin Dongjiu calmed down.
On the way, they met Elder Xiao Quan flying in again. He was wearing a cassock and his face was full of flesh. After flying down, the team felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Lan Qiong waved his hand and introduced Xiao Quan's identity to everyone, then flew up and talked with Elder Xiao Quan for a while, then saw Elder Xiao Quan walking away and flying towards the direction of Blackwater City.
Lin Dongjiu guessed that Elder Xiao Quan was going to pick up the next wave of mercenaries...
When Lin Dongjiu completely entered the battlefield, he frowned, and he could faintly detect the presence of subtle demonic energy in some of the traces left by the battle.
Although the team was moving at an extremely fast speed, and there was no time to take a closer look at some places, he had become extremely sensitive to demonic energy since he had practiced the Nine Soul Transformation Techniques, and he still discovered some clues just by looking at them.
Could it be that Feng Yin Sect cooperated with Demon Palace?
Lin Dongjiu was secretly frightened by this behavior, which was no less than an enemy of the entire world of immortality.
Going deep into the hinterland of the battlefield, you can see nearly a hundred tents built on a flat slope, with the emblem of Luoxia Sect's three-legged golden crow embroidered on the tents.
Dozens of bonfires were set up outside the tent, and a large pot was placed on the bonfire. The aroma of meat floated from the pot into the distance.
Lin Dongjiu quietly let go of his consciousness and looked from a distance, and saw a few old acquaintances, He Qing, Jiang Yunli, and Ying Changsheng.
They gathered around a bonfire and drank broth, without any communication with each other. Their faces were full of exhaustion, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
He Qing seemed to be injured, with several bandages wrapped around his arms and thighs. Jiang Yunli and Ying Changsheng's expressions were not pretty either, looking bitter and resentful.
However, under the baptism of war, these young men seemed to have matured a bit, and their immature faces faded away, replaced by a pair of resolute and mature faces.
The sun was setting and the night was getting late, but the sky deep in the battlefield was not dark, but colorful and brilliant, like countless dazzling auroras rising up, or like the streamers of a fairy goddess hanging down to the world, imaginary
The illusion and reality are endlessly fascinating.
Peng Yan blinked and was also attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him. He was dazzled and couldn't help but indulge in it.
But Lin Dongjiu looked heavy and seemed not attracted by the beautiful scenery.
Because he knows deeply that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.
And he himself has just entered the threshold of an array mage, so he can naturally see some of the tricks.
The reason why the sky is full of brilliance is because there is a top-level killing array deep in the battlefield, and those brilliance are the supreme restrictions emanating from the killing array.
Lin Dongjiu sent a message to Cao Yushan: "What's going on ahead?"
Cao Yushan grimaced and replied:
"That's the killing array set up by Feng Yin Sect. Our sect leader and several elders are trapped inside, fighting with the Feng Yin Sect master and elders."
Lin Dongjiu's thoughts changed rapidly, he narrowed his eyes and said:
"The Fengyin Sect is doing this to hold back our top combat power, so isn't our sect in danger?"
Cao Yushan sighed:
"Brother, you are right. Since the sect leader was trapped, the sect has been attacked several times. Fortunately, Elder Fang Lei and Elder Xu Ming used the sect-protecting formation to resist, so there is no serious problem so far.
But after a long time, it’s hard to tell...
Fengyin Sect is sending more and more monks to our sect, and there are also many Yingguan realm monks who are found from who knows where.
The longer we delay here, the easier it will be for the sect to be stolen, and then everything will be over!
Therefore, the sect has emptied almost all the spirit stones, recruited a large number of mercenaries, and plans to bring in the remaining teams and launch a general attack early tomorrow morning to break through the killing array and rescue the sect master and the others."
It's difficult. The Fengyin Sect must have been prepared... Lin Dongjiu didn't say these words to Cao Yushan.
He was secretly anxious in his heart. It might be too late to destroy the Feng Yin Sect within three days. Tonight, something must be done...
At this time, Elder Lan Qiong in front of the team cleared his throat and said:
"Let's take a rest tonight and let the spiritual stone shine."
Her voice changed slightly, with a look of solemnity on her face:
"I'm not sure if there are undercover agents sent by the Fengyin Sect in the team, but I will keep an eye on it. If anyone dares to betray the enemy or become a deserter, I will get rid of him immediately and kill him without mercy!"
After saying that, she glanced at the few Yingguan realm monks with superb cultivation, and at the same time, her eyes stayed on Peng Yan and Lin Dongjiu for a few seconds.
Elder Lan Qiong's thoughts were delicate enough, and he did not hide it from her after all, but it was good this way, as it would save spies from fishing in troubled waters... Lin Dongjiu nodded secretly, but he was not panicked at all, he would have a way to escape tonight.
Lin Dongjiu said to Xiaopang, "Brother Fatty, please stay here. When the war is over, go to the Zuidie Tower in the Imperial City and wait for me."
Xiaopang scratched his head: "Drunken Butterfly Tower? Where is that place?"
Lin Dongjiu replied: "Beauty."
The little fat man said righteously:
"Why should I go to a brothel to wait for you? Why can't I wait for you somewhere else? How can a gentleman like me..."
Lin Dongjiu directly interrupted his nonsense:
"Because I only know this one place in the imperial city. Oh, there is another one where the Luoxia Sect is stationed, but you can't get in."
Zuidie Tower is a holy place for all gentlemen. The most famous prostitute in the imperial city, Miss Huanyi, is the oiran of Zuidie Tower. It is not easy to find out where Zuidie Tower is, so the meeting point is set at Zuidie Tower. It makes sense...
.
"I didn't expect that Brother Lin is still a romantic figure..."
Peng Yan murmured, and his spirit was shaken:
"Then I will reluctantly go to Zuidie Tower to wait for you... Wait, why am I waiting for you and you don't stay here? Where are you going?"
Lin Dongjiu said quietly: "I want to be a deserter..."
The corner of Peng Yan's mouth twitched: "I'll go with you to become a deserter and leave me here to shed blood for the Luoxia Sect. You've got your wishful thinking, how wonderful!"
Lin Dongjiu frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, do you still want those pills?"
Xiaopang snorted softly: "For the sake of Danfang, I won't argue with you. But this matter cannot be spread, otherwise my master will have to deprive me of my status as the chief disciple of Baicao Cao."
"Don't worry!"
Xiaopang was still chattering: "And I won't fight tooth and nail. If I can't beat him, I will run away as soon as possible..."
Lin Dongjiu took a deep breath: "Don't worry, you don't need to go to the battlefield. I will completely solve the problem of Fengyin Sect before tomorrow."
"You're going to Fengyinmen tonight? You're crazy!"
Peng Yan's expression changed and he almost screamed.
He looks naive, but he has a very good brain, and he can reveal Lin Dongjiu's purpose of becoming a deserter in one sentence.
Lin Dongjiu just nodded, asked about the specific location of Fengyinmen, and then ignored his subsequent series of questions...
Now the team is connecting with the original station and distributing tents and food. Elder Lan Qiong is so busy that it is impossible to pay attention to Lin Dongjiu's side.
Taking advantage of the crowd's dispersion, Lin Dongjiu hid behind Fatty, who covered him.
He took out two high-grade stand-in puppets that he had purchased in the system mall, activated the Phantom Flash under his feet, and the imperceptible demonic energy enveloped his whole body, completely disappearing into the vast night in the distance.
Before leaving, Lin Dongjiu did not forget to explain to Xiaopang:
"Fat brother, take care of the Great Sage for me, I'll go too!
Also, you must take this puppet with you when you leave, it is quite expensive..."
In fact, he didn't need a puppet at all to escape under Lan Qiong's nose.
But when we check people later, we will definitely find that he is missing.
And those Luoxia Sect disciples all know that he has a close relationship with Cao Yushan, and they will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. This is not what he wants to see.
So I can only be brutally slaughtered by the system once...
...
After Lin Dongjiu left the battlefield, he directly launched his Feiyun Boat and flew towards Fengyinmen.
The reason why he changed his route to Blackwater City before was to investigate the extent of the battle between the Luoxia Sect and the Feng Yin Sect, so that he could think about how to fulfill his promise to destroy the Feng Yin Sect within three days.
But now that he saw that Luoxia Sect was almost cornered by Feng Yin Sect, he could not wait any longer, and the plan to destroy Feng Yin Sect had to be advanced.
The Luoxia Sect's rear defense is weak, and the Fengyin Sect is also the same. It is a good opportunity to take advantage of the weakness.
His plan is to first steal the Fengyinmen treasure house, make a fortune from it, make up for the shortfall, and at the same time lure the snake out of its hole and annihilate it in one fell swoop...
After flying for half an hour, through the clouds, Lin Dongjiu saw a brightly lit city at his feet. The city was bustling with people, and when he looked with his spiritual sense, he could see a long queue of people. It was probably the same as Luoxia Sect, Fengyin Sect,
They are also recruiting troops.
This big city is called Beiyu City. It is the closest big city to Fengyinmen and one of the top big cities in Lingyun Kingdom.
There are currently seven large cities in Lingyun Kingdom, such as Blackwater City and Beiyu City.
Among them, there are five large cities located near the five major sects. The city lords of each city have the cultivation level of sea expansion, and there are countless soldiers in the city.
These large cities are the cornerstones of Lingyun Kingdom, and the Yin family relies on these large cities to maintain a stable position in the country.
As for why the city should be built near the five major sects, it is also a tacit understanding between the two forces.
In fact, no matter which continent of immortality it is, although it is divided into the secular world and the immortal world, the two are inseparable, or in other words, the two are complementary to each other.
He attained the Tao in the world of mortals, and then escaped from the world of mortals and became an immortal.
Immortal cultivators will not go to the secular world to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and the disturbances in the secular world will not affect the immortal cultivators' pure cultivation.
This is an order that has been formed over thousands of years.
Even those who are already invincible in the world of immortal cultivation are unlikely to be greedy for the royal power in the secular world. Perhaps they are disdainful, or they may feel that this kind of power is too low-level.
This is also the reason why our ancestors were disappointed with the descendants of the Yin family.
The higher your cultivation level and the broader your knowledge, the more you will feel like a frog at the bottom of a well.
By then, the only instinct left for the strong is to become stronger, and climbing from the bottom of the pyramid to the top will become their only motivation and desire to survive in their long lives.
However, do the strong people at the top of the pyramid have no motivation to live?
No, they will look up to the sky.
In the vast world with countless planes, who can be sure that the fairyland is the end?
What is ridiculous is that all living beings living in the world of cultivating immortals regard ascending to the world of immortals as their lifelong goal and use any means necessary.
Even if it means cutting off love, cutting off desires, killing relatives, apostasy, and become a cultivation machine that only knows how to practice.
Although the way of heaven is ruthless, despises the common people, and despises all things, it always leaves a glimmer of hope.
And that glimmer of hope, how many people know what it is?
His thoughts drifted away unknowingly, and Lin Dongjiu came back to his senses. His mind suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but frown, so he put away the spaceship and flew down towards Beiyu City.
He found an uninhabited place outside the city and waited quietly for about half a stick of incense when he saw a figure running out of the city gate.
The figure sneaked towards the place where Lin Dongjiu was. When he saw Lin Dongjiu, he leaned down and said respectfully:
"Owner!"
"Well... didn't I ask you to stay in Luoxia Sect? Why are you in Beiyu City?"
This person was Chang Hu. Back in the ruins, Lin Dongjiu told the Luoxia Sect disciples that Chang Hu was his, and that Chang Hu's departure from the secret realm had been arranged for him.
However, he just passed by Beiyu City and suddenly felt the connection with Chang Hu, and then he realized that Chang Hu was actually in Beiyu City.
"Returning to Master, it's a fluke that after I left the secret realm, the people from Fengyin Sect had already left.
Moreover, after my many inquiries in the past few days, I found that the life jade tablets of Fengyin Sect disciples who entered the secret realm were all broken, including mine.
Although I don’t know the reason, I guess it’s because I was imprinted with a soul by my master, and my life belongs to my master, so the jade tablet of life was broken.
So even though I was betrayed by Feng Yin Sect, the people in Feng Yin Sect only thought that I was dead, and no one came to trouble me.
Later, I followed my master's orders and went to the Luoxia Sect, but my master did not come out of the secret realm. They were naturally worried about me being a defected disciple of the Fengyin Sect, so they sent me to Beiyu City to gather information."
Lin Dongjiu roughly understood the situation, nodded and said: "Let's go, come with me to Fengyinmen."
"yes!"
Although Chang Hu was suspicious, he only responded and did not ask any more questions.
He is a smart man, and he can still distinguish between what should be asked and what should not be asked.
The less you know, the longer you live, he knew this well.
Lin Dongjiu was very satisfied with Chang Hu's reaction, his cold expression softened a little, and he took Chang Hu onto the spacecraft.
