"In exchange for spiritual stones to feed the fire crows, there is no point in hurrying. We can only wait. Let's see if the reinforcements from the Fire Worship Sect or other immortal sects can arrive at Diyan Mountain within a month or two!"
Ye Chen thought to himself.
Fortunately, he now has a group of fire crows that can respond to emergencies, and their strength has increased several times compared to before. At least in this cave on the fire crow hill, he is stronger than any other monk, and is enough to protect himself for the time being.
.
Ye Chen took a Vitality Pill, closed his eyes and sat on the floor to meditate, cultivating his Vitality.
He was already in the middle stage of the first level of foundation building in Tianxu Immortal Sect. He and Wang Ying, Xu Ping and other four fellow disciples were on the way to inspect the Ulan Empire for several months. After cultivating to the peak of the first level of foundation building, he met a
A small bottleneck.
He has stayed at the first level of foundation building for a short period of time.
Time passes day by day.
In a flash, a month passed.
Ye Chen was trapped in the cave of Diyan Mountain. Apart from being careful to prevent the fire crows from entering the cave, he focused most of his thoughts on cultivation. The soul finally broke through the small confinement of the first level and reached the second level of cultivation in the foundation building stage.
This was a small relief to Ye Chen. Although he was trapped in a dangerous place, he did not delay his cultivation.
During this period of more than a month, more and more low-level cultivators came to Diyan Mountain to hunt for treasures, practice, and do business and trade, hoping to make a fortune overnight.
Most of them are casual cultivators and cultivators from small families.
These casual monks came from the Ulan Empire, dozens of surrounding secular countries, spiritual places where monks gathered, and even more distant places. They rushed towards them excitedly like beasts that smelled the fishy smell.
.
In contrast, the response of the nine great immortal sects in Yunzhou was much slower and sluggish. Most of them probably didn't know that a new large-scale spiritual land had appeared in the Ulan Empire.
The casual cultivators are not on the same page as the Immortal Sect. When they discover the spiritual land, they will try their best to block the news to avoid letting the Immortal Sect know about it.
Regardless of whether it is Tianxu Immortal Sect or the other nine major immortal sects, the casual cultivators will not get any benefit from occupying Diyan Mountain. Tianxu Immortal Sect will directly occupy this Diyan Mountain, and it is impossible to give it to Sanxu Immortal Sect.
There is only half the benefit of fixing it.
After many material-rich spiritual lands in Yunzhou were controlled by the Nine Immortal Sects, only disciples of their own sect were allowed to enter, while casual cultivators were not able to enter at all.
Only some less important spiritual lands that lacked resources were occupied by a large number of casual cultivators, and it was inconvenient for the Nine Immortal Sects to take action, or there was no huge profit to be gained, so they gave up control and allowed the casual cultivators to occupy them.
The Fire Worshiping Sect is not among the nine major Immortal Sects in Yunzhou, and is weak in strength. In addition to various reasons, perhaps because it is afraid of the Tianxu Immortal Sect, it has not completely controlled the Diyan Mountain. So now the low-level casual cultivators can still
Activities in this Diyan Mountain, looking for spiritual treasures.
In just one month, there were at least one to two thousand casual monks in Diyan Mountain.
Except for some who are too weak to stay on the first floor of Diyan Mountain, most of the others enter the second floor of Diyan Mountain to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
A fire crow accident occurred in the cave on the second floor of Diyan Mountain. Hundreds of monks were almost dealt a devastating blow. Of course, this accident had long been spread among the monks. Many monks are still trapped in the cave to this day.
Inside the cave of Fire Crow Hill.
As long as there are treasures of heaven and earth, even if they are very dangerous, they will attract a large number of monks to come to hunt for treasures. In fact, monks often think that they are particularly lucky and will not be as unlucky as other monks in danger.
Of course, they dare not provoke the thousands of fire crows on Fire Crow Hill. Although there are many treasure-hunting monks, they are extremely scattered. There is no monk with enough prestige to gather these casual cultivators, and naturally they are unable to fight against the huge fire crows.
group.
The monks who were trapped in the cave of Fire Crow Hill had no choice but to continue to be trapped by the fire crows.
The other monks who were looking for spiritual objects on the second floor of Diyan Mountain stayed away from the hill to avoid being attacked by the angry fire crows.
...
On this day, the casual cultivators who were originally moving around in the Diyan Mountain were suddenly surprised to see a large group of hundreds of monks wearing fiery red clothes. Among this group of monks, there were many monks in the foundation building stage alone.
Among the ten people, most of the rest were in the late stage of Qi training, but a group of hundreds of monks could not hear the slightest sound, and they were very disciplined.
They surrounded an old man with a red face and robes who had a cold expression, entered the Earth Flame Mountain, and hurried to the second floor of the cave.
"Look, it's a monk from the Fire Worship Sect!"
"With so many Foundation Establishment Stage monks, the Fire Worship Sect is so powerful! I often don't see even one Foundation Establishment Stage monk for a year or two. They come together in a group."
"That person among them is the Jindan Patriarch?! Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen a Jindan monk."
"I heard that the young master of the Fire Worship Sect was trapped in Fire Crow Hill. I originally thought it was a rumor, but now it seems to be true!"
The casual cultivators exclaimed in low voices and discussed.
But as soon as they encountered the stern gaze cast by the cultivator of the Fire Worship Sect, they immediately shut up and kept silent to avoid causing trouble.
There were some bold low-level monks who followed the Fire Worship Sect monks from a distance to the second floor of the cave.
The cold-faced red-faced old man led a large group of hundreds of Fire Worship Sect monks into the second floor, and stopped when they arrived about ten miles away from Fire Crow Hill.
The red-faced old man stood on a high rock and looked at the entire cave with a radius of hundreds of miles. For a long time, there was no movement.
The large group of foundation-building monks following him were confused. Didn't they come in a hurry to save the young sect leader? Why did they stop moving when they got here? There was no need to observe. Their disciples in Diyan Mountain had already arrived.
After reporting all the conditions here, the number of this group of fire crows is also roughly known.
"Head! The young sect leader is trapped in Fire Crow Hill. Should we kill the fire crow immediately and rescue the young sect leader?"
Several foundation-building monks behind him showed doubts, and one of them raised his hand and said to the old man.
This old man is none other than Xu Shen, the sect leader of the Fire Worship Sect, who is also the biological father of Xu Wei who was trapped in the Fire Crow Mountain Cave.
"There's no rush. It's been more than a month, so it won't be long. What do you think of this Diyan Mountain?"
Headmaster Xu said coldly.
All the foundation-building monks looked at each other and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Of course this Earthly Flame Mountain is good, otherwise the Fire Worshiping Sect wouldn't try to occupy this place. Of course, the trouble is also huge. The fat man in Earthly Flame Mountain is not trying to
You can swallow it if you swallow it.
The land of Diyan Mountain nominally belongs to Tianxu Sect.
The Tianxu Immortal Sect is not someone to be trifled with, and the other eight Immortal Sects would not dare to provoke the Tianxu Immortal Sect easily. Not to mention that their little-known Immortal Sect is very risky.
It's hard for them to speak.
"This Ulan Empire is a secular country under the jurisdiction of Tianxu Immortal Sect."
Leader Xu glanced at them, snorted and said, "Before, I was hesitant whether to snatch food from the mouth of Tianxu Immortal Sect. I originally thought that this was just a small spiritual place.
Send my son to investigate the situation and see how valuable this Diyan Mountain is. Now it seems that this Diyan Mountain is only one floor, and the second floor is no more than one or two hundred miles in circumference, and there are countless minerals hidden there.
If we add in other undiscovered caves, it will be a large spiritual land that can serve as one of the foundations of our sect. What do you think?"
"Master, if you want to occupy this place, it is best to kill all the casual cultivators here, or imprison them, completely block all news about the second floor of the Yanshan cave, and declare to the outside world that this is just a small spiritual place.
We don’t have many resources. Before Tianxu Clan takes action, bring Xingzhou County into the control of the secular state under my Fire Worship Sect. After we occupy the territory, we will find a way to reconcile with Tianxu Clan. Tianxu Clan
The family has a great cause, so they may not take this small Diyan Mountain in their eyes and start a big war."
A foundation-building monk thought for a moment and said with a fierce expression.
"Master, no, it's okay to kill some casual cultivators, but the problem is that many of these treasure-hunting monks are foundation-building monks. Who knows if there are any true monks from the nine great immortal sects who have been practicing in various places in Yunzhou? Kill the nine great immortal sects.
True disciples, how can they just give up! Our Fire Worship Sect is still weak and cannot afford to offend the Nine Immortal Sects!"
Another foundation-building monk immediately objected.
"Isn't there a large group of fire crows here! There are only a few exits from Diyan Mountain. Let's block all the exits from Diyan Mountain and kill all the treasure-hunting monks in Diyan Mountain. Who knows which immortal monk died here?
?! Even if the Nine Great Immortal Sects knew that a disciple died in Diyan Mountain, we should blame the fire crows on the second floor of the cave. They came to Diyan Mountain to hunt for treasures, but were killed by thousands of fire crows.
Death. We arrived too late. By the time we arrived, all the treasure-hunting monks here had already died in the fire sea of fire crows. Death at the hands of monsters is not a rare thing in the world of immortality."
The former foundation-building monk said coldly.
Master Xu's face was uncertain, and he neither said yes nor no. After a while, he said, "Ma Yu, you immediately lead a team of true disciples to block all the exits on the first floor of Diyan Mountain. No.
My command is that no one should be allowed out! Those who forcefully break in will be shot without mercy."
"Yes, Master!"
The foundation-building monk immediately led a team of foundation-building monks to the entrance to the first level of Diyan Mountain and switched defenses with the Qi-refining period monks guarding the entrance.
"Peng Yi, go and gather all the monks above the middle stage of Qi Refining on the second floor of Diyan Mountain and destroy these fire crows! If anyone is unwilling, kill them!"
There was no expression on Mr. Xu's face.
First, let these casual cultivators put in some effort to kill the group of nearly a thousand fire crows and rescue his son. As for whether to kill all the treasure-hunting cultivators in Diyan Mountain, he can slowly consider it.
"yes!"
A foundation-building monk took the order and led a team of foundation-building monks to summon all the treasure-hunting casual cultivators participating in the activities on the second floor of Diyan Mountain.
Regardless of whether these treasure-hunting monks were willing or not, they quickly gathered together. The leader of the Golden Pill of the Fire Worshiping Sect was here, and the large group of foundation-building monks of the Fire Worshiping Sect were here. They couldn't help but disobey orders.
There are more than a thousand casual cultivators searching for treasures alone. Although it is a mess, the number of people together is still huge.
There are also hundreds of Qi Refining Stage monks from the Fire Worship Sect and dozens of Foundation Establishment Stage monks as the core, holding down the formation at the rear, urging the treasure-hunting monks to attack the Fire Crow Hill.
"kill!"
Groups of monks rushed towards Fire Crow Hill.
Nearly a thousand fire crows hovering around the Fire Crow Hill had long since noticed the gathering of monks in the distance, and they all flew up at once, spitting dense fireballs from the sky towards the crowd of monks on the ground.
