Grand Scholar Meng Gu was worried about their conspiracy, and he broke through the blockades at the risk of getting injured. Then he said four words to one of the weaker Confucian scholars who had reached the state of spiritual enlightenment: "Speak the truth."
Then he asked quickly.
"Who are you working for? What's the conspiracy?"
Fang Taichu, the Earth Immortal who was the leader of the ten, quickly took action to crack the spell, but still allowed him to utter a few words.
"The City of the Dead... The Blood Prince... Rebuilding... The Dynasty!"
Grand Secretary Meng Gu knew history better than anyone else and understood the general idea in an instant.
"Blood Prince! He is still harboring evil intentions in the City of Wrongful Death! He even wants to make a comeback!"
"Why did you guys help him? You even did something like this! What on earth did that guy do in the City of the Dead?!"
"Since you already know everything, why don't you give up resistance and join us."
"Scholars, don't you want goods and royal families? The Blood King promised us eternal life!"
The two sides collided violently again, causing the illusion of the underworld to change color and the fragile space to be torn apart.
In the distance, Jiang Li, who had quietly returned after moving Fengdu City, also heard their conversation.
He scratched his ears, wondering if there was something wrong with his Heart Sutra.
He originally looked excited as if he was watching a show, but after hearing what they said, his face suddenly fell.
"The bloody land! The city of the dead! The crown of the blood king! The Wan Tu Men! Wu Fan!"
Jiang Li had a very bad feeling in his heart.
At the floating auction in Fengyang City, it was clearly stated that the Blood King's Crown had a significant connection with the City of the Dead.
This matter is at least 90% certain, and it is related to the Blood King Crown that Wantu Men had obtained before! No wonder he has been unable to find out Wantu Men's whereabouts recently.
Even in the previous war, the Wantumen’s men had directly withdrawn from the front lines, causing a war zone to collapse.
More than 20 sects originally located in the Wantumen area were slaughtered.
During the post-war settlement, Wantumen was even kicked out of the Temple of the Gods.
Jiang Li was just waiting to accumulate enough strength before taking revenge on them.
Unexpectedly, that guy actually solved the mystery of the Blood Crown!
Could it be... Could it be... After the crown recognized its master, it could really gain the loyalty of the City of the Dead?
That was the legendary City of the Dead that was comparable to the three great pillars of God! This was a big problem!
"Wait! That successor of Shushan's other branch, Zhang Bobo... He is the senior Pei Zhong who became a disciple in the City of Wrongful Death. Damn it!"
. . . .
Just as Grand Secretary Meng Gu guessed, on the full-moon night of that day, great unrest broke out within more than half of the forces of the Temple of the Gods.
Many disciples and elders who had died but were still alive appeared one after another.
Some of them occupy the bodies of living people and are difficult to identify by ordinary means.
Some of them revealed their true identities, asking about the sect's current situation while slaughtering their own descendants.
They understand their own sect's formation layout, terrain, secret passages, and defensive weaknesses, and they also have many close friends who are familiar with them.
For them, breaking through those powerful sect formations is probably as easy as returning home.
There is no one who is more suitable than them to conquer their former sect.
At the same time, in the Dachong Mountain immortal cultivation world, the Five Elements Peak of Shu Mountain.
A vigorous and powerful voice spread throughout the towering Five Elements Peak of Mount Shu.
"Shushan disciples, wake up quickly! Build the Shushan Five Elements Formation!"
The peaceful night was broken by a voice.
All the sword practitioners in the mountains were immediately awakened from their sword meditation, jumped out of their houses, flew into the air on their swords, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
In the direction where the moonlight came from, four figures were standing in the sky.
"Tell me your name! Why are you disturbing Mount Shu?"
Under the moonlight, the four people did not hide their faces and auras. Their extremely powerful auras made the air distorted, and looking directly at them would make people dizzy!
"You guys! You guys are!"
Among them, several sword masters who were over a thousand years old were shocked and recognized the four people.
The previous sword master of Shushan Five Elements Peak, Pei Zhong, the Wuya Sword!
The previous master of Sutra Valley, the Nine-Year Immortal!
The previous abbot of Cihang Temple, Master Du'e!
And the acting leader of Bailian Mountain, Situ Wuchang!
These four people were actually the leaders of the four major sects in Dachong Mountain who died when the Demon King appeared and the Demon Sect was in chaos.
"Brother Pei Zhong, the four of us are coming here together. Can Shushan stop us?"
Let Shushan Five Elements Peak bear this disaster alone, and Master Jiuzai, who was standing by, was quite worried.
"It's okay. I have already sent my disciple Zhang Bobo out of the City of the Dead. As long as he returns to the Five Elements Peak and recognizes his ancestral roots, the sword light I left in his body will send out a warning."
"This matter has been going on for several months. I believe they are ready to welcome us."
"Although there are only six hours left, the only thing that can stop the four of us now is the Shushan Five Elements Sword Mountain Formation."
At this time, the five sword peaks of Shu Mountain below emitted light at the same time. The sharp edges condensed and soon formed a sword light storm that filled the sky.
After the war, all the Shushan disciples on the front line had withdrawn. In addition, after the establishment of the Chongshan League, the efficiency in recruiting new disciples was greatly increased.
With their sword hearts echoing together, the power of the Shushan Five Elements Peak formation was even greater.
But this scene made Pei Zhong, the Wuya Sword above, very dissatisfied.
"Where's Shenshan Jianyi? How could you be so lax?!"
Without the Sword Master personally presiding over it, each of the Five Elements Peaks has only one Spiritual Transformation Sword Cultivator presiding over it, and the power of the Five Elements Sword Mountain Array is not even half as powerful as it was during the period of full victory.
According to Pei Zhong's idea, Shushan, which had received the warning in advance, should have the masters of the four major sects gathered together, so that they could successfully hold on with the combined efforts of the four of them.
But what he didn't expect was that due to some accidents, his disciple was captured halfway and has been staying in the burial coffin ever since.
The key point is that the conditions for leaving the City of the Dead are extremely harsh.
After leaving the City of the Dead, one's memory will be tampered with, and Zhang Bobo himself will not leave much useful information.
If you want to pass a message through him, this is the only way.
The information hidden in his body can only be activated after returning to the Five Elements Peak.
As a result, Shushan Five Elements Peak and Chongshan League have never received this information.
"You are... You are Pei Zhongjian Shou?"
An elder from Shushan who had attained the state of incarnation looked for a long time and finally found the respected sword master of the Wuya Sword, Pei Zhong, from his distant memory.
They rode their flying swords to the top of the formation and saluted to their previous sword master.
He wanted to ask what was going on, but unfortunately, he ran out of time.
"Forget it, the time has come, we must take action."
"Shushan disciples! Activate the Five Elements Black Tortoise Formation!"
"Be careful, this is the cliffless sea!"
The lightsaber fell, and the Five Elements Formation changed in time. The sword light faintly formed the shape of Black Tortoise, and any attack that entered into it would be shattered into pieces.
However, the Black Tortoise Formation, which gathered the power of Mount Shu and combined the five elements of the five mountain veins, was shattered by this sword.
Sword lights flew everywhere in the sky, and all the Shushan disciples were shocked. Many of them vomited blood from the recoil injuries.
This previous generation's sword master didn't even have the flying sword Wuya, which made him famous, in his hand.
The flying sword that was condensed out of thin air could actually reach this level.
Because the previous sword master of Shushan Five Elements Peak was an earthly immortal! "Brother Pei Zhong, I am going to take action too. Let the Shushan disciples leave!"
Master Jiuzai sighed, his body began to move on its own. He shook his hand and threw a large seal out. It quickly turned into a mountain-like size in the air and pressed down towards the Five Elements Peak.
This is the highest inheritance of Sutra Valley, the Fangtian Seal! The square basin on the ruins of the Black Lotus Sect that shocked Jiang Li back then was created by this seal.
In terms of attack power alone, this smash was even stronger than the Earth Immortal Sword Light just now! Now the Five Elements Sword Mountain Formation had been broken up by that sword, and less than 30% of the remaining sword light remained.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
If hit by this Heavenly Seal, one of the Five Elements Peaks of Mount Shu would be broken in half.
"Five Elements Sword Formation, stop him!"
Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five sword masters joined forces to attack head-on from bottom to top.
Shushan Five Elements Sword Formation, this is their only chance to fight back.
But at this time, a Vajra Arhat and a red cauldron blocked their way.
"Amitabha! I have committed many sins. I am sorry for my crime!"
"This is the poisonous fire from the earth's core. It will damage your flying sword. Avoid my fire!"
The two from Cihang Temple and Bailian Mountain were definitely not mediocre either. The might of their attack made the faces of the five Shushan people change.
Situ Wuchang probably didn't know that his own sect had been destroyed, and he also spoke out to remind them.
It’s a pity that their methods cannot be easily dealt with with just a reminder or two.
The five sword formation at the Divine Transformation level was forcefully blocked by these two.
No one could stop Fang Tianyin, and the Shushan disciples below all felt a chill in their hearts.
"You can't stop it! Disperse!"
The five spirit-transforming elders could only watch as Fang Tianyin smashed towards Huoxing Peak below.
The disciples of Huoxing Peak wanted to escape, but the Fang Tianyin had the terrifying effect of locking down an area of space. Now the entire Huoxing Peak was locked down, and looking across the entire Shushan, no one could break through this blockade.
Everyone can only be trapped in it and face this doomsday-like impact.
Once this seal was placed, the Huoxing Peak lineage would take at least a hundred years to recover.
The previous leaders of the four major sects all looked at this scene with guilt.
They have been dead for hundreds or even thousands of years, and when they finally came back to take a look, they caused such heavy harm to their hometown.
This is more painful for them than letting them die.
At this moment, a coffin flew at high speed from the sky.
As they got closer, the coffin rapidly enlarged, and rune patterns identical to the Fang Tian Seal appeared on its surface, and inside it there was also the coffin white sacrifice text left by Emperor Xuanyuan.
Boom! The Yin Burial Coffin hit the Fang Tian Seal from the side. Its power was not inferior at all, and even put the genuine Fang Tian Seal at a disadvantage.
After all, the Burial Coffin is a mid-grade earth-level magic weapon. Although it is not an offensive magic weapon, with its internal volume, it can be used to smash people, which is very effective.
Even Fang Tianyin will lose.
The huge Fang Tian Seal, as big as a mountain, fell to the side. The tremendous power broke the ground and formed a square basin. If enough water was moved in, a lake could be formed.
The coffin shrank again and automatically fell back into Jiang Li's hands.
"Alliance Master Jiang!"
"Senior Brother Jiang Li!"
The Shushan monks, who were originally shrouded in despair, suddenly rekindled their hope.
Seeing Fang Tianyin being smashed away by Jiang Li, the five remaining elders who had reached the state of Divine Transformation heaved a sigh of relief, broke free from the entanglement of the two and flew back to Jiang Li.
"Everyone, Jiang Li is late."
Jiang Li bowed towards them apologetically.
It was because of his persistence that the Sword Master of Shenshan fled to the Fengyang City stronghold. The other several gods were also stationed at the headquarters of the Misty Mountains, which led to the emptiness of Shushan.
As the leader of the alliance, he cannot escape this responsibility.
If Jiang Li had not set up a ghost gate nearby in advance, he could have directly crossed the distance and returned to Dachong Mountain. The casualties after this night would have been unimaginable.
Then he looked at the four people in the sky, especially the previous valley master, and bowed respectfully.
"Jiang Li, a disciple of the Demon Subduing Hall of the Sutra Vault, greets the Valley Master Jiu Zai! Three seniors!"
Master Jiuzai was a little confused at first, wondering why the runes on the coffin looked so much like the Fang Tian Seal.
But after hearing that Jiang Li was a disciple of Sutra Valley, his eyes immediately revealed a strong sense of surprise.
"Are you a disciple of Sutra Repository? In the Demon Subduing Hall, are you a disciple of that kid named Master Ju? Good boy! Be careful!"
When Master Jiu Zai died, Elder He, the current head of the Demon Subduing Hall, was still a rookie. And that Giant Master was Elder He's master, Jiang Li's great-grandmaster, and also a tattooed big man with a social appearance.
But they spoke kind words, but they couldn't help themselves.
As soon as the word "be careful" was spoken, Master Du'e, who was dressed in dazzling golden light, came forward.
"Little donor, be careful, this is the Great Demon Subduing Palm. Step on the Bagua position first, then leave and then exchange, and then attack from above to lock my shoulder!"
These four were obviously different from the previous monks from Mohen Academy. They did not have much murderous intent and had been instructing the younger generation on how to deal with their attacks.
But Jiang Li did not accept Du'e's kindness. Instead, he raised his fist and hit the Demon-Subduing Palm head-on.
The pure collision of flesh and flesh, the strong energy of both sides swept over, directly forming a gas explosion, and even the five sword cultivators who were at the level of the Divine Transformation beside Jiang Li were blown away.
After they steadied themselves, they immediately looked at Jiang Li worriedly.
He was the number one physical cultivator in Dazhong Mountain back then. If Jiang Li fought against him, he would most likely suffer a great loss.
But what was surprising was that in the collision between the two, the one who was knocked flying was Master Du'e.
Not only that, his right wrist exploded into a ball of flesh and blood on the spot, and two bones as white as gold and jade pierced out from it.
The collision just now directly destroyed Master Du'e's Great Demon Subduing Palm.
"Master Du'e is offended!"
The Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword appeared, and Jiang Li stepped on the flying sword and instantly caught up with the flying master. He pointed out with his right index finger, and his jet-black nails scratched the opponent's chest.
The indestructible golden body of the Buddha was torn apart in an instant.
Afterwards, countless black and green vines grew out from the wound, completely binding him up and making him unable to move.
"Five elders, I leave it to you."
Master Du'e, who grabbed the broken golden body, threw him backwards, and the four strong men had lost one of their number.
"Master Jiuzai and the two seniors, I apologize!"
