Chapter 624 Six Whirlpools
"Fellow Taoists!"
Ning Tianyi stood up, pointed in the direction of Ning Daoran, and laughed loudly, "This young friend Ning is my daughter Mingyu's sworn brother, and is also half of my family, so when I travel around the world, I hope you can help me a lot!"
Suddenly, everyone clasped their fists and said “Sure, sure.”
Ning Daoran was a little surprised. Ning Tianyi's words carried a lot of weight. He made it clear that he was half a family member, which meant that if anyone in Guixu Fairyland wanted to touch him, Ning Daoran, they would be his enemy!
For a moment, neighbors such as the Jadeite Fairy and Jin Yuanzi all looked at him with great surprise and envy.
What amazed them even more was Ning Daoran's generosity. In order to make friends with Ning Tianyi, he actually gave the Golden Wing Sword as a gift. Even the two Nascent Soul stage masters were overshadowed!
Of course, Ning Daoran gave Ning Mingyu the Golden Feather Sword not just to make friends with Ning Tianyi, but more because he felt that Ning Mingyu, his sworn sister, was really good and she deserved the Golden Feather Sword.
After the celebration, Ning Daoran played the role of a good host and took Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang to stroll around the main street of Guixu City.
Ning Mingyu also changed into a white dress and accompanied them, constantly explaining the origins and roots of various shops and markets. In fact, Ning Daoran had always either been practicing in seclusion or going out to sea to kill monsters, and rarely went shopping, so his understanding of this place was naturally far less than that of Ning Mingyu.
A few days later, Qixing Zhenjun, Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang returned to Liangyi Sect, and Ning Daoran also began his retreat.
…
A few months later.
Outside Guixu City, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
“Swish, swish, swish~~~”
One after another figures appeared in the sky, they were all the monks who guarded Guixu City. The leader was none other than Longque Sanren, and most of those following him were late Jindan and middle Jindan cultivators. Their overall strength should not be underestimated.
"how so?"
Longque Sanren frowned and looked down.
That was a jungle outside Guixu City. Before, it was a quiet place with few people and wild beasts. But now, the forest seemed to be "sick". All the trees were stained with a layer of diseased black, and the center of the forest collapsed, forming a black vortex.
"It's the Kuroshio..."
An old man in the late Jindan stage frowned and said, "Senior Longque, I have seen this kind of black tide vortex near Kunpeng Immortal City. There must be a lot of crimson demons hidden in this vortex!"
"Could it be that this black tide has finally set its sights on my Guixu Fairyland?"
Longque Sanren frowned and asked, "How many more?"
"There are five more that are similar to this one."
A middle-aged cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core clasped his fists and said respectfully: "From late last night to now, these black tides have appeared silently, and are all distributed around Guixu City, forming a siege. This is by no means accidental!"
"Senior Longque."
Another old man in the late Jindan stage said in a deep voice: "In just half a day, hundreds of cultivators have died in this sudden black tide. Has the city lord learned about it?"
"The city lord already knows, otherwise why would I be here?"
Longque Sanren narrowed his eyes and stared at the center of the black tide vortex. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that the center of the vortex was like an eye, and suddenly it was staring at him. This glance made Longque Sanren inexplicably feel palpitations.
"wrong……"
He suddenly raised his eyebrows: "There is movement, everyone be careful and prepare for battle!"
The next moment, black tentacles extended from the vortex, "swish swish swish", and rushed towards the crowd like the roots of a towering ancient tree. And around the roots, black particles attached began to wriggle and turned into crimson demons, and in a blink of an eye, they started to kill everyone.
"die!"
Long Que San Ren summoned the Wandering Dragon Sword, and with the sword light sweeping across, the bodies of the entire Crimson Demon exploded. Although they were not afraid of the Five Elements' magic power, Long Que San Ren was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and his magic power was too strong, and he could crush their bodies in an instant! "Hehehe~~~"
During the battle, wisps of blood-red light appeared in the vortex. They were extremely agile, and they rushed upwards along the black roots, accompanied by ferocious roars. Countless bloody mouths opened, and they fought together with the city-guarding monks led by Longque Sanren.
In just a few breaths, many mid-stage Jindan cultivators had died!
“Not good!”
Longque Sanren's eyes were cold: "It's not the Crimson Demon, but the Blood Demon! Everyone withdraw from the battle and go to the spirit boat above!"
"Walk!"
Everyone transformed into streaks of light and flew upwards.
At this time, the clouds in the sky had become dark, and the bottoms of ships appeared under the clouds. In an instant, at least ten spirit boats fell from the sky, surrounded by dense restrictions. When Longque Sanren boarded the spirit boat, a series of spiritual cannons turned downwards.
“Hehehe~~~”
In the air, blood-red sparks rose up into the sky, they were all blood demons.
The next moment, the sound of artillery fire and the ferocious roar of the blood demons mixed together. A group of blood demons were fearless and fiercely attacked the restriction. Moreover, wisps of black light rose from the center of the vortex in the distance. They were all crimson demons. There were so many of them that it looked like a layer of gray mist rising up.
“Not good…”
Long Que Sanren felt a chill in his heart. If the fight continued in this state, these dozen spirit boats would probably be breached and then capsized in the vortex of black tide.
"retreat!"
Longque Sanren immediately ordered: "Retreat ten miles and rebuild the defense line. Don't fight them head-on!"
"yes!"
More than ten spirit boats retreated quickly, while the blood demons and crimson demons entangled around the roots just roared and screamed, but did not leave the range of the black tide vortex.
…
A few days later, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ning Daoran finally ended his retreat, called out the big stupid deer, cooked a table of extremely delicious meals, and then sent out a sound transmission note to invite the Jadeite Fairy in the next cave to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Not long after, the Jadeite Fairy in a dark blue fairy dress came into the cave in a graceful manner. She first bowed and then looked at the table of delicious food. Her beautiful eyes suddenly smiled into crescent shapes.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you are so thoughtful!"
"You're welcome, Chalcedony."
Ning Daoran sat upright, poured a glass of spiritual wine for the Jadeite Fairy, and said with a smile: "Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, but unfortunately the word reunion is too luxurious for cultivators like me. I have been hanging around outside and almost forgot what my family looks like. What's even more tragic is... After practicing for a long time, my former family members have left one by one, and this family reunion has become an unattainable luxury."
"What Daoyou said is absolutely right..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Jadeite Fairy's eyes turned red.
She also thought of her family, how her father and mother sent her to the mountains to cultivate immortality, and then her brother got married and her sister got married. When she was in the foundation-building stage, her parents had passed away. She had returned to her hometown to visit them several times, but after her brother and sister passed away, the so-called visits lost their meaning.
She found that she had become a rootless person, and everything about her childhood had been washed away by the passing of time.
“Fellow Daoist…”
The more Fairy Yuzui thought about it, the sadder she felt. She laughed angrily and said, "Why did you say these things? You made me sad too..."
“Ahem…”
Ning Daoran said: "Don't be sad, Jadeite. This is something that cultivators cannot avoid. We should be optimistic. Although the days of reuniting with our families will never come again, we will always meet many people worth cherishing in the future, just like the relationship between you and me. There is a saying that goes, don't worry about having no bosom friends on the road ahead!"
"What a good saying: Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead..."
Fairy Yu Sui held the wine glass and savored these words. The more she savored them, the more she found them delicious. She smiled and said, "I never thought that you would have such literary talent. I am sorry for being so rude. If you can use your literary talent in Confucianism and Taoism, you will probably become a Confucian saint."
“…”
Ning Daoran felt a little ashamed, thinking that he had no literary talent at all. He was just a memorizer who couldn't even write the college entrance examination essay, so how could he be called a Confucian sage.
After three rounds of drinking.
Fairy Yuzui suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Ning has been practicing in seclusion, so I guess he knows nothing about what happened in Guixu City recently. Do you know what happened outside the city recently?"
"oh?"
Ning Daoran was surprised: "Ning has indeed been in seclusion, what happened in the outside world?"
"The people in the city are in a state of panic recently."
Fairy Yuzu frowned and said, "It's because six extremely huge black tide whirlpools appeared outside the city, forming a siege on Guixu City. As a Yuanying cultivator, you should have heard about the black tide, right?"
"I've heard of it and I've fought against it."
Ning Daoran frowned and said, "Yu Sui, tell me what the situation is now?"
“Not very optimistic.”
Fairy Yuzu pursed her red lips and said, "A few days ago, City Lord Ning led the city guards to conquer the black tide whirlpools, but they suffered a great loss. Not only were there crimson demons hiding in those whirlpools, but there were also a large number of blood demons. The city guards lost a lot of people."
She paused and continued, "However, there are also many visiting monks in the city who have joined the battlefield. The fighting has been very intense in the past two days, and perhaps the results will come out soon."
"Um."
Ning Daoran said worriedly, "If Guixu City loses the battle, I'm afraid we won't even be qualified to stay here as guests."
"You don't have to worry so much, fellow Daoist."
Fairy Yuzui said with a smile: "Guixu City has been able to stand in the outer sea for many years. How can it be destroyed by a few black tides? Moreover, Guixu City is ruled by City Lord Ning who is in the Spiritualization Stage. I think nothing serious will happen."
"I hope so..."
Ning Daoran nodded.
…
Afternoon.
After the Jadeite Fairy left, Xiaobai returned from outside and brought a bounty notice. This notice was issued by Ning Tianyi. The main content was to recruit monks in the city to join the city defense army, maintain continuous attacks, and curb the spread of the six black tide whirlpools. In addition, anyone who can destroy the black tide whirlpool will be rewarded handsomely!
"It seems that the situation is quite bad..."
Ning Daoran slowly stood up, placed the list on the table, and said, "I'll go take a look!"
