Chapter 512: Counterattack (Part 2)
When Tao Zi arrived, the Sword Sect's leader and others were already standing at the foot of the mountain.
As for Wangxu and others, they were trapped halfway and could not escape for the time being.
After a while, Wuyan, Yue Qingya and Cheng Wuchou also arrived.
Tao Zi looked at her brother in surprise - before coming to Minglan Sect, her brother said he would go back to Xujia Sect to check on the situation, and she thought her brother would not come.
Cheng Wuchou naturally walked to her side, and the Xijing Sword floated over with him.
The Sword Sect leader was still in a good mood at this time and said with a smile: "The four of you can be called the pride of your generation. Xiao Xu is not as good as you after all."
Yue Qingya smiled politely and said, "Master Wang, you are overpraising me. Our paths are not quite right and we are far inferior to Daoist Friend Wang."
Cheng Wuchou, who was very upright, raised his eyes and glanced at him.
Not long after, Wang Xu also rushed over and said, "Master, the head of the Buddha Sect has arrived. Junior Brother Xuanhua is still in the outer mountain to stabilize the situation."
The head monk nodded slightly and asked, "Can those disciples be saved?"
Wang Xu was silent for a moment before he said, "Their situation is the same as those disciples who were arrested earlier. They are unable to regain consciousness."
The Sword Sect leader sighed and said nothing.
Buddha said "Amitabha" several times before whispering, "What a sin! It's really a sin."
Cheng Wuchou sent a message to Tao Zi: "The Sword Sect has captured many Minglan Sect disciples in the past seven years and tried to wake them up, but they were unable to save them."
After this discussion ended, the sounds of fighting around them became quieter and quieter, too quiet to be right.
If it weren't for the Sword Sect's Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killing who had been keeping an eye on this place and was certain that Qinglan and the others must still be in the Minglan Sect, they would have suspected that Qinglan had run away.
A Mahayana elder from the Sword Sect suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Tao, is the Minglan Sect's strength so weak?"
Tao Zi shook her head and said, "How is that possible? There must be a trick here. When will the Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killing come over?"
The leader of the Delusion Sect said helplessly: "The ancestor was originally going to come here, but suddenly changed his route and went to the Tiandao Sect halfway. I don't know what he did there."
The eyes of everyone present fell on Wuyan vaguely. He stood there quietly with an indifferent look in his eyes. The mask blocked his expression, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Some elders tried to break in, but found that Qinglan had set up restrictions around the main peak, and those in the Mahayana stage could not pass through at all.
Tao Zi frowned as she looked at the scene in front of her. Suddenly, she turned her gaze to Zhu Feng and then to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, shall I go to Bamboo Peak first?"
The leader of the Wang clan agreed and ordered a Mahayana elder to accompany him.
During this period, we also passed by other peaks. The sounds of fighting on the peaks either gradually weakened, or were silent, with no one left.
Without the help of a Mahayana cultivator, there is basically no power to fight back.
When we arrived at Zhufeng, we saw another strange scene.
There are also restrictions around the Bamboo Peak, and the monks surrounding it are trying every possible way to break through.
The Mahayana elder's face changed drastically after just one glance, and he shouted, "Stop! No more attacks!"
That was clearly not a restriction, but layer upon layer of isolation formations that completely separated Zhufeng and Minglan Sect. Its strength was far less than that of the main peak, and it could be broken with a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage.
But the elder was not aware that at this time, the inside of the bamboo peak was filled with invisible "dirty air".
The reason why it is called "dirty air" is because the first feeling Tao Zi and others had when they noticed it was dirty.
Wang Xu asked in a low voice: "Elder, what is that?"
The elder shook his head: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing and can't be released easily."
While Wangxu was talking with the elder, Tao Zi and others were also discussing.
Cheng Wuchou whispered, "This place is completely different from the main peak."
Wuyan nodded slightly.
The main peak feels dangerous, while the bamboo peak is gloomy and dirty.
Tao Zi looked at the mountain intently. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be a little bit of vitality in the bamboo peak.
Tao Zi thought for a moment and whispered a few words to her brother. Wu Yan and Yue Qingya were also attracted over.
After a discussion among the few people, Tao Zi walked towards Wangxu and expressed their intention to sneak into Zhufeng.
Before Wangxu could even speak, he was sternly rejected by the elder.
Tao Zi said: "Doesn't the Sword Sect have a talisman against the Minglan Sect? I believe it can work."
The amulet she mentioned is a spiritual weapon that every cultivator must wear when entering the Minglan Sect. It is specially made to target demonic energy and alien races to prevent them from getting close.
Of course, once the amulet is damaged, the monk will inevitably be monitored or even imprisoned. After all, there is currently no way to completely detect contaminated monks, and we can only judge based on the monk's own performance.
The elder shook his head repeatedly: "The aura in here is too strong, the amulet may not be effective."
"You can't get a tiger cub without learning the tiger's secrets." Tao Zi did not give up this idea.
The elder thought about it carefully, and finally said, "Then you wait here, I will go in and take a look."
This method was opposed for a very simple reason. There were also Mahayana cultivators in Zhufeng, and the elders were too powerful. Once they entered, there was a high possibility of being discovered. The probability of them, the "ants" in the Out-of-Body and Nascent Soul stages, sneaking in was even greater than that.
Of course, this is only a secondary reason. The most important thing is that Tao Zi, Yue Qingya and Wu Yan are in special circumstances, and the probability of them escaping death is much greater than that of others.
Seeing their persistence, the elder finally nodded.
With the help of the elders, they successfully sneaked into Bamboo Peak without destroying the formation.
Watching the gradually disappearing figures of Tao Zi and the other two, Wang Xu looked at Cheng Wuchou and said with emotion: "I thought you would follow Tao Zi in."
"If I go, I'll just cause more trouble."
No matter how strong you are, it is difficult to resist the fate.
Wangxu sighed lightly and agreed, looking at Zhufeng with worry in his eyes.
I don't know if there are any living people inside.
Among these three people, only Tao Zi was familiar with the environment of Zhufeng. She led them to the core of Zhufeng with ease.
Along the way, the three did not see a single living creature. Even the flowers, plants and trees had all withered, and not a single corpse was found.
Tao Zi and others' expressions became more and more solemn.
The moment they reached the summit, they fell silent.
The disciples of Zhufeng were covered in a faint light that was about to disappear. They sat on the ground, closed their eyes and practiced. Even if outsiders came, they would not be able to distract their attention.
They were surrounded by black fog that intended to invade them.
The moment Tao Zi and the other two reached the top of the mountain, black fog also came towards them, but was blocked by the faint light emerging from their bodies.
The three of them remained silent and walked step by step towards the center, where there was a formation.
In the center of the formation, a Mahayana cultivator stopped breathing, but his lifelong cultivation passed through the formation and turned into a faint light, maintaining the vitality of Zhufeng.
Assisting in the operation of the formation are two out-of-body cultivators, three Yuanying stage cultivators and several Jindan stage cultivators. Unlike the other disciples who have weak but endless vitality, they are surrounded by death energy and are beyond salvation.
