Volume Two: Wind Rises Spiritual Clouds Chapter 178: Attack of the Demon Palace
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Lin Dongjiu went to the Spiritual Formation Peak again to pay homage to Elder Xu Ming.
He saw Elder Xu Ming sleeping soundly in a rocking chair, with drool all over his face.
It seemed that setting up the killing array was really tiring for Elder Xu Ming, and Lin Dongjiu couldn't bear to wake him up.
Without any hesitation, he shouted directly at the top of his lungs:
"Elder Lan Qiong, why are you here? Elder Xu is sleeping, please go back..."
"Qiong'er is here? Don't leave... I didn't sleep!"
Elder Xu Ming jumped up, hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked in the direction of the sound with bloodshot eyes.
"It turns out you're the brat who dares to amuse me. I'll beat you up if I don't..."
Elder Xu Ming had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his voice became lower and lower. Finally, he sat back on the rocking chair, his eyelids trembling. Looking at his haggard appearance, it seemed that he might die suddenly at any time.
Lin Dongjiu suppressed a smile and said, "Elder Xu, how long has it been since you slept?"
Elder Xu Ming slowly stretched out a finger and shook it.
"You haven't slept for just a day, why are you so sleepy?"
"I haven't slept yet!"
Xu Ming said angrily. He steeled himself and stood up. He took out a stack of formation disks and handed them to Lin Dongjiu:
"You brat, you went outside to have fun, but you made me miserable!"
After complaining, Xu Ming returned to the topic: "I have already arranged the killing array you want. You can use it as you wish. I have to catch up on my sleep these days, so don't bother me."
Do you still want to sleep? Naive!
Lin Dongjiu cursed in his heart and said goodbye: "Then I won't disturb Elder Xu's rest. I'll leave first."
Elder Xu Ming waved his hand and fell asleep in an instant.
After Lin Dongjiu came down the mountain, a disciple came up the mountain to announce:
"Elder Xu, the sect leader has ordered that the sect competition will be held tomorrow. Please ask Elder Xu to urge his disciples to prepare to participate!"
...
Lin Dongjiu surrounded the Luoxia Sect and quietly buried the array disks.
After doing all this, he returned to his residence and saw Su Ruxue playing with lanterns in the yard. The lighted lanterns reflected her pink face.
"It's cold at night, why don't you go inside and sleep?"
Lin Dongjiu walked into the yard, and Su Ruxue rushed towards him and said coquettishly:
"Huh, I'll wait for you!"
A little farewell is better than a wedding. When dawn was about to break the next day, all the main peaks of the Luoxia Sect were already bustling with activity. Although the disciples did not understand why the sect competition was held in such a hurry, they were still gearing up and looking forward to it.
Able to show off his skills in the sect competition.
After breakfast, Lin Dongjiu took Su Ruxue down the mountain and rushed to Enlightenment Square unhurriedly.
When the two arrived, they found that the square was already crowded with people. They didn't know what time they arrived.
Regardless of whether they are the inner sect or the outer sect, the sect competition is a grand event that all disciples must participate in unless there are special circumstances. Therefore, there are far more disciples gathered in the Enlightenment Square today than the last time the sect conference was held.
When Su Ruxue appeared at Enlightenment Square holding Lin Dongjiu's arm, it immediately caused quite a sensation.
Now, Lin Dongjiu is a god-like existence in the Luoxia Sect. Wherever he goes, a shout of "boss" is indispensable, as if a sect culture has been formed.
Listening to the flattering words of those disciples to Lin Dongjiu, Su Ruxue couldn't help but hug Lin Dongjiu's arm tighter. She held her little head high with pride on her face.
That little appearance seemed to be declaring sovereignty, using his eyes to warn the female disciples who were secretly looking at Lin Dongjiu.
This is my man!
Xiao Lin will not fall in love with you rouge fans!
Lin Dongjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw this, and pulled her towards the center of the square.
The huge arena had been set up in the center of the square, and about half an hour later, the sect leader and the elders of each peak arrived one after another.
After sending someone to register the list of disciples present, Subei officially announced the start of the sect competition!
"Brother..."
He Qing approached Lin Dongjiu and complained:
"Originally, I heard from the sect leader that this sect competition was cancelled. Why was it announced last night that the sect competition would be held today? Brother, do you know what's going on?"
Lin Dongjiu joked:
"Didn't you tell me last time that the sect competition was cancelled, so I couldn't beat you up? So I discussed it with the sect master last night, and the sect leader agreed to hold the sect competition today."
He Qing trembled and said with a sad face:
"So, brother, you convinced the sect leader to hold a sect competition just to beat me up?"
Lin Dongjiu had a straight face and nodded vigorously: "You are right!"
He Qing stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Lin Dongjiu pulled him and said with a smile:
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. As the eldest brother, I have to save some face for my younger brother, right? If I really beat you up in front of so many disciples, I'm afraid you'll be punished in the future.
My wife is so embarrassed."
"Brother..."
He Qing burst into tears of gratitude and said: "Then when it's our turn in the competition, brother, can you deliberately lose to me once? I want to find a wife now."
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
After driving He Qing away, Lin Dongjiu took Su Ruxue to find two seats and sat down.
The first half of the sect competition is a duel between the outer sect disciples, and since there are so many outer sect disciples, it is estimated that the sect competition will last for several days.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. If the sect competition lasted longer, he would not be afraid of a slight deviation from the date agreed with Die Huanyi.
Watching the competition between these outer disciples, Lin Dongjiu suddenly noticed that some of the outer disciples behaved very strangely during the competition. It felt like they were trying their best to suppress their own strength, for fear of killing their opponents with one punch.
.
Maybe ordinary people wouldn't find any clues, but Lin Dongjiu knew that many of the disciples of the Luoxia Sect were demon disciples who had been hired by the Demon Palace, and judging from the competition, the cultivation strength of these demon disciples was probably far greater than imagined.
Much more powerful.
...
The day passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was already getting dark. After the competition on the stage, today's competition may be over.
It seems that the Demon Palace will not come today... Just as Lin Dongjiu was thinking about it, the sect-protecting formation above his head suddenly shook.
Immediately, the sect-protecting formation with flowing light was like a bubble punctured by a needle, instantly turning into nothingness.
All the disciples present were attracted by the strange appearance of the sect-protecting formation. Even the disciples competing on the ring stopped and looked up in shock at the broken sect-protecting formation.
"What's going on?"
Even though Su Bei had been mentally prepared, he was still in vain.
Glancing at Lin Dongjiu, he said to Xu Ming beside him: "Elder Xu, why is the sect's formation malfunctioning?"
Xu Ming, who was originally sitting in a chair and was drowsy, became more energetic at this moment. The sect-protecting formation is the most important barrier for a sect. To put it more seriously, the sect-protecting formation is related to the life and death of the sect.
.
Just like the Fengyin Sect, Luo Suifeng relied on their sect's sect-protecting formation to resist stubbornly and was not captured by Su Bei and others who were chasing him.
But now, the sect-protecting formation is broken without any warning. As an array master, Elder Xu Ming knows that this is not as simple as something wrong with the sect-protecting formation.
Recalling what Lin Dongjiu said when he asked him to set up the killing array that day, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Elder Xu Ming touched his sleeves, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said anxiously:
"No! The magic weapon that controls the sect-protecting formation is missing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of patrolling disciples rushed into the square in a panic and shouted:
"Not good, Sect Master! The Demon Palace is attacking! They used some means to break through the sect's formation. They have now invaded the sect and are heading here!"
"What!"
Su Bei fluttered his sleeves and said sternly:
"Who gave them the guts to dare to attack our Luoxia Sect!"
"All disciples listen to the order and prepare immediately to follow me to annihilate the villains of the Demon Palace and promote the prestige of our clan!"
"yes!"
The disciples present had different expressions, but they still responded in unison and took out their weapons and magic weapons. There was anger on their brows, and they wanted to join the Subei Sect Master in fighting the intruders.
However, before anyone could move, they saw demons and zombies gathering around the square as densely as a swarm of ants.
Countless black robes and cloaks were blown by the strong wind, like dark clouds passing by, reflecting the dim light of the setting sun in the sky. A thick and blood-like aura of resentment swept across the entire square, making the coldness of the winter season even worse. The disciples'
A chill ran down my back, and I shivered uncontrollably.
"Is it finally here..."
Lin Dongjiu narrowed the corners of his eyes slightly, and his condensed gaze reflected the intimidating murderous intent and anger.
He had a deep feud with the Demon Palace. Seeing thousands of corpses opening the way in front of the Demon Palace reminded him of the village chief's instructions and the innocent smile of the little girl.
Then, the cold eyes turned blood red, the veins on his arms were tangled, and the violent spiritual energy gathered around him, blowing his long hair that had never been tied up, and he just wished he could step on the stage right now and crush these scum and bugs with his feet.
Die and crush!
"Xiao Lin..."
Su Ruxue gently held Lin Dongjiu's hand and whispered nervously.
"Um..."
Feeling the worried mood of the eldest lady, Lin Dongjiu just held her catkin in his hand, responded softly, then slowly closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again, a light golden light shot out from his eyes, and his mood returned to its original state.
As plain as water.
After spending many days together day and night, and on the pillow, the two of them had already been connected heart to heart, and there was no need for too many words. When Lin Dongjiu responded softly, Su Ruxue knew that Lin Dongjiu's mood had calmed down, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had heard Lin Dongjiu talk about the little girl, and even though she had never seen the little girl, every time she heard Lin Dongjiu mention the little girl's bare feet, holding his dew against the cold frost, she felt
Even though my heart is low, I can't help but feel layers of tenderness. What a cute and innocent child he is!
But in the end, the little girl was harmed by the Demon Palace and her family was destroyed. She has been nowhere to be found, and even her life and death are unknown!
Now, the Demon Palace has invaded the Luoxia Sect again. Although Su Ruxue is nestling next to Lin Dongjiu like a little bird, she is filled with anger and hatred and wants to kill the enemy together with Lin Dongjiu.
However, Lin Dongjiu had not yet made any move, so naturally she would not act rashly. Moreover, seeing Lin Dongjiu's fearless attitude, she knew that he must have planned what happened today and must be prepared.
Her heart suddenly relaxed, she believed that Xiao Lin would definitely kill the Demon Palace and never come back, and she believed it unconditionally!
