It took a lot of effort for Lijun Qingqi to come out from the mountains.
Because the valleys in southern Xinjiang are really not very friendly to the cavalry, even if the route chosen by Lu Dongfeng for them is already several of the widest connected canyons in the north direction, there will be a series of low shrubs or valleys connected from time to time. Vines and the like still caused them a lot of trouble.
It wasn't until Luo Chuan and a group of Wangchuan sword cultivators had to take turns using flying swords to clear the way for the army that their speed picked up slightly.
Even so, it was already completely dark by the time Lijun Qingqi came out of the mountain. Luochuan did not let the cavalry rest, but took advantage of the night to rush toward the northeast direction of Baitong City for several hours before finally arriving. Set up camp on a gentle slope.
The cavalry were so exhausted that they didn't even want to put up their tents, so they just leaned on tree trunks and fell asleep.
A brief repair in the middle of the night could not allow the cavalry and horses to get enough rest after a battle of that scale. But before dawn the next day, the cavalry set off again. No one complained, they just silently carried out the military orders. People like Luochuan who had never seen a powerful army with cold weapons were shocked.
Marching in such a hurry, Luo Chuan and his party arrived at a rather famous place between Taiming and Baitong, called Liufeng Mountain, when it was almost noon.
Liufeng Mountain is not connected to the mountains in southern Xinjiang, but it is not far away. It is composed of six peaks of almost equal heights. The six peaks depend on each other in pairs, with a valley in the middle. The climate is humid, the vegetation is lush, and the spring breeze is full of vitality. of.
According to legend, there were six Phoenix Emperors cultivating here in the Middle Ages. Each of the six Phoenixes occupied a mountain. In that era of conflict and chaos among all races, and before the emergence of the Three Emperors, the human race was scattered in all directions as a naturally weak race. Slaves eating blood can be said to be extremely miserable. Only the Liufeng Mountain area is different. The six Phoenix Emperors are powerful and willing to protect a human race to thrive. Therefore, they have enjoyed the incense of the human race for thousands of years. To this day, there are still people in all parts of the Lijun Basin. Those who built the Liufeng Temple to worship these six Phoenix Emperors enjoyed the incense of the human race as a demon clan, which was probably the only treatment in Central Continent.
As the place mentioned in the legend of Liufeng, Liufeng Mountain naturally has the largest Liufeng Temple in Lijun. It was built by the first Lijun prefect after Dading was founded. This may be the final result for him as a foreign prince. One of the reasons why you can stand firm in the land of Liren.
The Liufeng Temple did indeed enjoy hundreds of years of prosperity when it was first built. However, as time went by, when the Dading Dynasty no longer had external ambitions and the entire Central Continent turned from offensive to defensive, Li County began to bear the consequences. With the increasing intrusion of Nanyi, Liufeng Mountain is too close to the mountains in southern Xinjiang, and the nearby people have been migrating north to avoid the evil disaster. The place has returned to the wilderness, and even the temples on the mountain have become dilapidated historic sites and no one cares about them.
If Luochuan was of his temper in the past, he would definitely go up the mountain to see such a mysterious monument. Now that the situation of Baitong's fall was unknown, and the sky was gloomy and covered with clouds, he just wanted to reach the northern Xiamen before it rained. In a small town, there is no such idea.
Lijun Qingqi rode his horse into the valley, and the horses' hooves fell to the ground, trampling the flowers and grass in the valley into mud.
Thousands of cavalry galloped past without stopping.
Luochuan realized something was wrong just after he had rounded the four mountains, because four more mountains appeared in front of him!
He quickly raised his arm, and the entire cavalry team slowly stopped.
"What's going on?" Siqi also rubbed his eyes and looked at the four mountains in the distance, then turned back and looked at the way he came. Suddenly, there were eight peaks in the famous Liufeng Mountain?!
A group of Wangchuan sword cultivators also looked back and forth, all with solemn expressions.
The shadow appeared next to Luo Chuan, looking around with a cold and scary look, "It's a little weird."
Luochuan nodded.
The middle-aged Taoist priest Niu Deyi, who was always following him slowly in the sky, also fell down with a solemn expression. He stood alone in the valley in front of Lijun Qingqi. After looking around for a while, he said loudly, "I don't know which senior master is here to announce the situation."
Formation Qing Cultivator, I am Wangchuan Sword Cultivator Niu Deyi, please come and see me!"
The voice echoed repeatedly in the quiet valley, but no answer was received.
Niu Deyi frowned slightly and wanted to speak again, but Shadow was no longer willing to delay. He raised his right hand and a small green flying sword flew out and pierced the canyon between the two mountains in front!
The small flying sword was extremely fast. When the flying sword was about to pass through two mountain peaks, a green will-o'-the-wisp suddenly appeared in front of the flying sword!
Just when the tiny flying sword was about to hit the will-o'-the-wisp, a ray of light as thin as silk but extremely long suddenly erupted from the flying sword. It pierced through the will-o'-the-wisp and shot into the valley behind!
Then, there was a "buzz" sound!
Like pebbles thrown into the lake!
The scenery that originally seemed real to everyone immediately rippled, like a curved water curtain!
For a moment, people can’t tell the difference between falsehood and truth!
The ripples are layer upon layer, starting from one point and finally spreading to the entire sky!
Only then did everyone realize that they had been enveloped by a hemispherical invisible light curtain for some time, and seemed to be isolated from the outside world!!
"It's the great demon that once appeared in Yicheng. It breaks through formations at such a fast speed!" Shadow's eyes turned cold as he looked at the green will-o'-the-wisp. After leaving a word, he disappeared. The next moment, he was fighting with a huge will-o'-the-wisp that suddenly appeared in the sky.
Make a group!
The green will-o'-the-wisp was like a sea of fire in the sky, and the human figure in it smiled strangely, controlling the flame and shadow to play a chasing battle in the air.
When Niu Deyi saw this, he shouted angrily and rushed towards the green will-o'-the-wisp, but was knocked to the ground by a water-colored feather shot by lightning in mid-air!
Just when everyone was shocked, they saw Niu Deyi, who had just landed, bounce back into the air at a speed several times faster than his fall, fighting with a slender figure with a water-colored light all over there!!
The scene became tense for a moment.
"What should I do?" Siqi asked Luo Chuandao.
Luo Chuan took a look at the sky that was slowly closing and smoothing out again into an illusory scenery. He closed his visor with a "click" and said, "Form up! Charge!"
Siqi and several messenger cavalrymen around Luochuan quickly passed the general's order to the five major military commanders. In a moment, more than 4,000 Lijun Qingqi were formed into formation. The cavalry team slowly started up, and the momentum was like a wolf smoke rushing straight into the sky.
On the top, there formed a series of weak ripples, rippling away.
Luo Chuan drove his horse forward while staring at the battle situation in the sky, but it was difficult to see the fighting situation of the four powerful men. He turned to Qin Wansong and asked, "Senior Qin, how is the battle situation?"
Qin Wansong frowned and shook his head. The long-bearded old Taoist beside him said quickly, "Anxious, unless a strong man of this level wants to decide between life and death immediately, it will be difficult to end the battle in a while. I'm worried that there are other big demons behind this formation.
With such a large formation covering such a wide area and having such strong defensive capabilities, the strength of the people behind the formation may be unfathomable." He raised his finger and pointed at the shock between the imposing smoke and the sky.
The impact of the formation is getting smaller and smaller, and the light under the sky is getting darker and darker. There are various signs that this formation is still in the process of taking shape. It is not yet fully completed. We must follow what Master Ying said.
Break the formation as soon as possible!"
Luo Chuan made a dull "hmm" sound under his mask, holding the reins tightly with both hands, "I also ask all seniors to join me in wielding the sword to break the formation. No matter what this time, please do your best!"
