Sometimes, the arrival of a major chaos may be caused by just a trivial trigger.
The three demon sects sent out troops and pressed down on the outskirts of Shushan. The news soon reached the top leaders of the Eastern Emperor Sect in Southern Xinjiang and the Eastern Emperor Sect in Western Tibet.
The first reaction of the two was simple: curl up quickly like a hedgehog, withdraw all forces, and prepare for a defensive counterattack.
You should know that among the six paths, except for the Hell Path which considers itself the "eldest son of Jie Religion", the Heaven Demon Path and the Ghost Path, which also originated from Jie Religion, have the best relationship. As for the Mortal Path, due to its excessive mixed blood, it can only cling to the thighs of the former two in diplomacy and follow them closely.
Donghuang Dao and Shura Dao, because they are foreign "stepsons", are often half a beat slower in receiving news.
Therefore, after learning the news, the first reaction of these two factions was "let's keep it stable first", and the second reaction was "report again and explore again".
What a pity. Although everyone has planted spies in the other sect, this time it concerns the Jiejiao's most precious treasure, the Wanxiangjue Immortal Sword. In addition, the news has always been in the hands of the top leaders and even the ancestors. Many grassroots disciples are confused and don't know what's going on, not to mention those spies -
"No matter what, since the other three sects have sent out troops, we cannot fall behind." On the Shura Sect side, after discussion and mobilization at the Land and Water Dharma Assembly, the elders quickly made a decision, "Organize a counterattack immediately!"
So Tiecheng Mountain was dispatched again, and a large number of red-robed foreign monks swept across the plateau like a flock of vultures, and turned around to hunt down the Shushan sword immortal who had no time to evacuate.
In the Southern Border Donghuang Dao, the newly returned Crazy Dragon Patriarch issued a very simple command:
shark!
I want to see rivers of blood!
As a result, the number of demon sect monks outside Shushan increased, even exceeding the scale and power of the last "One Hundred Thousand Gods and Demons Attacking Penglai".
At this time, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were still training their spiritual consciousness in the secret realm of the Divine Fire Dao, and Kunlun soon received the news.
Do you need support?
Penglai has never been known for its fighting power, and it suffered heavy losses since the last time. This time it is definitely of no use to help a nearby fire.
On Kunlun's side, the top leaders were inclined to rescue him, after all, the Three Pure Ones of the Chan Sect were of the same blood, but...
But Shushan didn't ask for help. We can't just take the initiative to go over there. That would be too cheap.
So Master Ziwei made the decision: Don't publicize it yet, wait until Shushan sends a message for help.
This headmaster was truly shrewd and calculating, because Shushan had no intention of asking for help at this time.
"The demon sect's move this time is quite strange." In the ancestral hall at the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain, the elders of the major peaks discussed one after another, "First of all, it was extremely hasty, and each fought on their own. There was no sign of a unified command like the last time they besieged Penglai."
"Secondly, not only did they not work together to set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, but they even set up their own ordinary formations. This shows that they did not connect with each other before attacking, but acted on their own accord."
"I see." The headmaster of Yujing looked around at the peak masters and elders, "Have you brought back all the masters from your sect?"
"Brought it back." The peak masters nodded in unison.
In fact, not all of them were brought back. After all, the evacuation was too hasty and there were no mobile phones in this world. It was normal that some people did not get messages delivered in a timely manner.
The Yuanying elders only made sure that the elite Jindan True Immortals under their tutelage returned to their respective sects. As for those True Immortals who were not notified and did not have time to evacuate, they could only believe that they could display the fighting spirit of the Shushan Sword Immortals and save their own lives outside.
"Very good." Master Yujing nodded, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
Um?
"Where is Qingluo Peak?" He suddenly remembered something and asked in a lost voice, "Where are the two real people Jiangxiao and Qingheng from Qingluo Peak?"
The peak masters and elders looked at each other in bewilderment, and the first thought in everyone's mind at this moment was: The people of Qingluo Peak don't ask about the peak master of Qingluo Peak, but ask what we are here for?
Then they all realized: Oh, Qingluo Peak has no master, and Su Jian is in seclusion.
At last, he was shocked: In other words, neither of them returned?
This is a serious matter!
To be fair, no one likes the two from Qingluo Peak. First, it's because of their grudge against Su Jian, second, it's because of the heresy of Wenqingliu, and third, it's because of the attitude of Changmei Xianren... Anyway, there are many reasons.
It would be fine if he was eliminated in the internal competition, but now that True Man Jiang Xiao has already formed a second-grade golden elixir, if he were to be besieged and killed by the Shura Dao, the outside world would not think it was True Man Jiang Xiao's own fault. They would only say that the Shushan Shangqing Sect has declined to such a point that it can't even protect its own second-grade golden elixir True Man with unlimited potential.
By then, Shushan will certainly lose all face, let alone compete with Kunlun for the first place. Maybe for a long time, it will be compared with Penglai!
"We must go and rescue them!" Master Yujing immediately made the decision.
So everyone faced the second problem: Who will rescue?
It should be noted that the outside is now surrounded by people from the Demon Cult. If the overall strength of the rescue team is not strong, they will definitely be surrounded and eaten by the Demon Cult if they go out rashly.
However, if a sufficient number of rescue teams were sent, it would inevitably weaken the garrison strength of the Shushan headquarters.
While the Shushan leaders were extremely confused, Ling Yunpo on the plateau had not noticed anything was wrong and was just strolling in the rain forest with Senior Sister An.
South of the mountains on the edge of the plateau, the altitude dropped rapidly and a large amount of rainforest also appeared rapidly.
The rainforest is filled with miasma, and ordinary cultivators can easily fall into it if they are not prepared. However, An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo have experience in dealing with miasma and their own bones are extremely strong, so they can still move freely even when traveling in the rainforest.
An Zhisu even encountered a group of monkeys in the rain forest... These monkeys kept picking wild fruits and dropping them on the ground, but Senior Sister An manipulated the magic sword to flexibly push them away, leaving them unharmed.
However, the monkeys threw even more vigorously, as if they had come across some interesting toys.
It was not until Ling Yunpo used his sword skills and the water-based sword energy cut down all the surrounding trees, with branches and leaves flying everywhere, that the monkeys scattered in fear.
"Let's go!" An Zhisu chased after them, excitedly saying, "Let's go steal the wine they brewed!"
The two men quietly followed the monkeys, and after finding their habitat, Ling Yunpo used the Bi Wu Yi Cang Luan technique, and the surrounding rainforest was completely plunged into thick fog where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
An Zhisu took the opportunity to search every tree, and actually found a pool of fruit wine in the hole of one of the hollow trees... She felt as if she had found a treasure, and stole it all with the wine gourd.
The two of them took advantage of the thick fog to slip away, and only after they were completely out of the rainforest did they burst into laughter heartily.
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Because standing in front of them were dozens of Shura Dao blood-robed foreign monks, all of them had bad intentions and were murderous.
