Chapter 381: Cutting off the Fire

A few days later.

Half of Kunpeng Immortal City was safe and sound, but a Big Dipper Formation could only ensure that this half of the Immortal City would not be breached, but it could not destroy all the crimson demons. Instead, the black tide outside the city continued to surge, further putting pressure on the Big Dipper Formation.

In the early morning, the autumn rain continued.

On the top-floor corridor bridge of Nantian Palace, Lin Tiannan and Seven Star True Lord stood side by side, gazing at the surging black tide in the distance. Both Nascent Soul True Lords fell into silence.

On the side, Lin Xuyan, Ning Daoran, Liu Wushuang and Chen Liang stood and looked out at the distant scene.

"Uncle Master."

Liu Wushuang opened her red lips and said, "Although the Big Dipper Formation can temporarily stop the erosion of the black tide, it is not a long-term solution. Moreover, in order to maintain the power of the formation, a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones will be consumed every day. Yesterday alone, a full thousand mid-grade spirit stones were consumed."

“…”

The Seven Stars True Lord didn't say anything, but he felt a pain in his heart, because he brought these spirit stones from the Liangyi Sect.

Although the Liangyi Sect is ranked among the top ten sects, it does not have many spirit stone mines. As the top Taoist sect for cultivating immortals, the sect master has always been frugal and thrifty. If he knew about this, he would probably feel more distressed than himself.

If the daily consumption of 100,000 spirit stones were spent on disciples within the sect, it is unknown how many more Jindan cultivators could be nurtured.

"Fellow Daoist Qixing, don't worry."

Lin Tiannan took a deep breath and said, "I am very grateful to all the Taoist friends from Liangyi Sect for coming from afar to help Kunpeng Immortal City. All the spiritual stones consumed by this Big Dipper Formation will be borne by Kunpeng Immortal City. This is the expense that Kunpeng Immortal City should bear."

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Lin!" Seven Star True Lord felt relieved.

"???"

On the side, Chen Liang looked at Lin Tiannan with a strange expression, secretly complaining in his heart, "Lord City Lord, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't manage the household. You really don't know that after this battle, there must be very few middle-grade spirit stones left in the Kunpeng Immortal City's warehouse. The consumption of one thousand middle-grade spirit stones every day is quite strenuous even for Kunpeng Immortal City! Ning Daoran didn't say anything, but released his spiritual sense to explore the movements of the black tide in the distance.

Not long after, he discovered that after the black tide surrounded the entire Kunpeng Immortal City, it seemed that the battle line was stretched too long, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of crimson demons near the source of the black tide, leaving the rear empty.

To be honest, now is a great opportunity to "attack the rear"!

At this time, he was naturally not the only one who was investigating the situation of the black tide. Lin Tiannan and Seven Star True Lord, both in the middle Nascent Soul stage, also spread out their spiritual consciousness to conduct a preliminary investigation of the movements of the black tide.

"Friend Ning."

Lin Tiannan's lips moved slightly, and he said in a voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Qixing and I plan to leave the Immortal City and go to the source of the Black Tide to investigate. If there is a chance, we will go to the source of the Black Tide to find out what's going on. Are you willing to go with us?"

“…”

Ning Daoran frowned. Although he highly respected the combat power of the middle Nascent Soul stage, when it came to dealing with the Black Tide and the Crimson Demon, a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator might not be able to match himself.

Especially in the Wuwang Sea, he had been deep into the source of a black tide and knew the detailed situation. If Lin Tiannan and Qixing Zhenjun, both Nascent Soul stage, were trapped in the abyss of the black tide, the chances of them escaping would not be very high.

As for these two Nascent Souls, one is a mighty one who guards the border of Xia Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, and the other is the deputy leader of Liangyi Sect, one of the ten great immortal sects. He is an old senior who is highly respected and virtuous. It would be a pity if either of them were to die.

"Can."

He agreed immediately and said, "I wonder when you two would like to go? I am willing to go forward and retreat with you two!"

“Very good!”

Lin Tiannan and Seven Stars True Lord both gave him a look of approval, and then Seven Stars True Lord said, "At midnight tonight, the three of us will quietly leave from the dome of the Big Dipper Formation, is that okay?"

"good!"

Ning Daoran nodded.

…

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Ning Daoran walked out of the cave assigned by the Nantian Palace, held his breath and flew into the air while Lin Xuyan was practicing. When he reached the dome, he saw two blood-red lights flash by. The two Nascent Soul cultivators had already set off.

"Little friend Ning, follow me!"

Lin Tiannan rode a flash of sword light and headed straight south.

Ning Daoran twisted his body and rushed out of the gap in the formation opened by the Seven Stars True Lord, heading south with the two Nascent Souls.

"Ga~~~"

Not far away, figures rose into the air above the ground. They were all the crimson demons that besieged Kunpeng Immortal City.

"Quickly decide the outcome, don't let them hold you back!"

Lin Tiannan shouted and pushed his palm forward. Suddenly, thunder and lightning burst out. The Golden Luan Sword broke through the air and instantly strangled dozens of crimson demons. A gap appeared in front of him.

"Walk!"

The three of them rushed out together.

Soon, a large number of crimson demons rushed over to kill them. The Seven Star True Lord's aura sank, and he immediately raised his hand and pointed. Suddenly, the perfect level of the Yin-Yang Sword Art surged, and combined with the aura of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it instantly transformed into dozens of criss-crossing sword energies, directly strangling dozens of crimson demons into ashes.

"Friend Ning, prepare to attack!"

The two Nascent Soul stage cultivators also needed to recover their energy to preserve their magic power. Lin Tiannan knew Ning Daoran's strength in fighting against Jiang Mo, so he directly let him take action.

In front of us, dense groups of crimson demons rose up.

Ning Daoran instantly increased his speed and rushed to the front of the two Nascent Souls. He raised one hand and pushed forward. Suddenly, lightning flashed all over his body. As the Yin-Yang Sword Intent surged, a ray of bright sword light burst out from his fingertips. With a "swish", it turned into a straight line and passed through the crowd of hundreds of crimson demons. The next second, countless lightning flashes bloomed along this straight line, turning a large number of crimson demons into ashes! "!!!"

Both Yuanying were greatly shocked.

What a powerful Jindan was that could kill at least two hundred crimson demons in an instant. This was something that neither of their two Yuanying could do.

However, at this moment, Ning Daoran's magical power instantly dropped by a level! "Fourth-level spiritual treasure?" Seven Stars True Lord asked in a voice transmission.

"Um."

Ning Daoran said, "This is something I accidentally found when I was exploring a secret realm. This treasure is very effective in killing the crimson demon when used with the Five Thunders Technique. Unfortunately, it consumes a huge amount of mana, so I can only use it occasionally."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"My friend, there is no need to be too modest. This is already very impressive!"

After the strike of the thunder sword, a whole vacuum zone was created in front of them. The three of them accelerated their escape lights and rushed out in a blink of an eye. After flying south for dozens of miles, there was no trace of the Crimson Demon behind them.

…

Lin Tiannan waved his hand, and the Nascent Soul aura in his body suddenly disappeared. At the same time, some secret method was activated, and his figure gradually disappeared into the void.

The Seven Star True Lord understood what he meant, and as he recited the mantra, his aura also disappeared instantly. His body gradually became transparent and merged into the world.

The hiding methods of the two Yuanying-stage masters are both first-rate! Ning Daoran secretly admired and said nothing more. He quickly activated the Immovable Mingwang Divine Art, the Great Void Evolution Technique, and the Great Sound Absorption Technique, and his body also disappeared into the air.

For a moment, Lin Tiannan was amazed. The control of aura and concealment of the Nascent Soul stage was definitely not comparable to that of the Golden Core stage, and Ning Daoran was able to disappear in front of the two Nascent Souls so quietly. His hiding skills were probably at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

The Seven Stars True Lord's eyes lit up, and he was full of admiration for Ning Daoran. This boy's prudence and cultivation were very similar to himself when he was young. If Lin Xuyan had such a cautious mind and means, why would he cause so many troubles outside!

Not long after, the three of them disappeared deep into a forest.

There was a surge of black tide in the distance. When the three of them released their spiritual sense, they could see it clearly. The sources of the black tide were divided into three: left, middle and right. The two on the left and right sides had weaker auras, while the source in the middle had particularly strong demonic energy. Even when Ning Daoran used his golden elixir spiritual sense to explore the depths, he was bounced back.

His spiritual consciousness seemed to have hit a layer of blood-colored cocoon and could not penetrate at all.

"These three sources..."

Lin Tiannan frowned and said to the two of them, "I will deal with the source in the middle, and fellow Daoist Qixing will go to investigate the source on the left, and fellow Ning will investigate the source on the right. What do you two think?"

Before the Seven Stars True Lord spoke, Ning Daoran spoke up: "Senior Lin, the source of the black tide is extremely deep, and there are many crimson demons in it. If we forcefully explore it, even a Nascent Soul cultivator may perish in it. I have a suggestion..."

"oh?"

Lin Tiannan's eyes lit up: "You say."

Ning Daoran patted his storage bag and took out a few second-grade paper figurines from it, saying, "I have cultivated a secret technique called Substitute Paper Figurines. These paper figurines possess some of my abilities. Perhaps... how about using these paper figurines as cannon fodder and exploring first?"

"Paper man?"

Seven Stars True Lord narrowed his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and laughed: "Haha, I understand. The sword art that you practiced before obtaining the Liang Yi Sword Art should be the Jian Jia Sword Art, right?"

“Ahem…”

"Your battle in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm has really earned a lot of face for the Xia Nation's immortal cultivation world. I admire you very much!"

Ning Daoran took out the paper figurine without any intention of hiding the secret. He smiled and said, "My cultivation is low and I can be killed easily, so I don't want to make too many enemies. I hope the two seniors can keep this secret for me."

"Don't worry, little friend Ning!"

Lin Tiannan was also a straightforward person. He transmitted his voice, "Little friend Ning not only killed the Crimson Demon for the cultivation world, but also killed so many enemy cultivators for our Xia country. From now on, anyone who is an enemy of Little friend Ning or Jianjia Sanren will be an enemy of Kunpeng Immortal City and Liangyi Sect. You should know what Lin means by this."

"In that case, thank you very much, junior!"

The next moment, Ning Daoran released a large number of paper figures, more than a dozen first-class paper figures were released without reservation. During this period of retreat, a lot of paper figures were refined. A second-class paper figure released more than 600 pieces. Suddenly, a series of paper figures wrapped in the aura of the golden elixir rushed into the three sources! Among them, the first-class paper figures can mobilize extremely rich chaos mana, while the second-class paper figures have little power inherited from their masters and can only use a small amount of chaos mana, but if they fight against the crimson demon alone, the chances of winning are still very high.

…

"Ga~~~"

In an instant, the three sources of the black tide became chaotic.
