The fierce encirclement and suppression lasted for eleven days and then came to a standstill.
Xiang Jianjue led his team to attack four Pantheon strongholds in a row. Finally, he stopped wasting time, threw out the Hidden Spirit Shuttle, and said coldly:
"Go in!"
The disciples didn't understand why, but no one disobeyed. The strength that Xiang Jian Jue had shown in recent days had conquered everyone.
They quickly entered the shuttle, with Jian Jue coming in last. He stood calmly in front of the center of the formation, controlling the Hidden Spirit Shuttle to fly away rapidly.
Everyone was only amazed at the amazing sight of the Hidden Spirit Shuttle shuttling through the void, and no one noticed the worry that flashed across Xiang Jianjue's eyes.
He hasn't seen his master since his master gave him the Hidden Spirit Shuttle two months ago.
A few days later, the Hidden Spirit Shuttle leaped out of thin air, and a vast expanse of white immediately came into view.
"Is this... the Northern Frost Plain?" a disciple exclaimed in surprise.
"The territory of Piaoxue Palace?"
"What are we doing here?"
Everyone was talking, but Xiang Jianjue didn't say a word. He controlled the Hidden Spirit Shuttle to pass through the snow curtain and land on the ground.
After the disciples came out of the shuttle, they immediately realized that this place was different.
Beneath the thick layer of snow here, there is a portal covered with runes.
"This is……"
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Xiang Jianjue stepped forward, made a hand gesture, unlocked the restriction on the door, and pushed the door open to enter.
The disciples behind him looked at each other and immediately followed.
The corridor leads underground and the traces are very recent.
Xiang Jianjue led the team deeper into the cave silently. After walking for a while, they arrived at a rather spacious cave.
Across the cave, a new passage sloping downwards was being cleared, and a burning sensation was constantly bubbling up from the ground.
At the forefront of the reclamation, disciples of the Wuji Xianzong and Piaoxue Palace, who are good at earth-moving techniques, can be seen sweating profusely as they melt the rock layers, condense them into several stones, and throw them to the Jianzong disciples in the rear to move away.
The disciples behind Xiang Jianjue were quickly pulled away and joined the stone-moving army.
"Brother Xiang, aren't you coming with us?" someone asked bravely.
Xiang Jianjue pursed his lips: "I'll be there later."
After saying this, he seemed to have seen something and turned and left.
"Brother Xiang, are you trying to slack off?"
"During the previous siege of the stronghold, when did you ever see Brother Xiang slacking off?"
"That's right, Senior Brother Xiang must have something important to tell you."
"Are they trying to break through underground? Could the Pantheon's lair be down there?"
"Why are you so curious? Get to work!"
“…”
"Uncle Feng, this disciple requests to see Jian Jue."
In the stone chamber opened up in the cave, Feng Yingxiu was resting with her eyes closed. Upon hearing the voice, she saw the young man standing at the door. She smiled softly and said in a gentle voice, "Come in."
Xiang Jianjue stepped into the room and bowed respectfully. Then, unable to restrain his thoughts, he asked directly:
"Uncle Feng, I wonder if our Master is here too?"
Feng Yingxiu shook her head and smiled: "If your master were here, you would have received the message long ago."
Xiang Jianjue pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a moment before he said, "Disciple, I'd like to ask, Master, is there any danger on this trip?"
Feng Yingxiu was stunned for a moment, then said in a slightly solemn tone: "Jian Jue, I know that you and your master have a deep relationship, but now is an extraordinary period.
If you are upset and get ambushed, wouldn't that distract your master and harm him?"
Xiang Jianjue's body trembled slightly, and the emotions in his eyes immediately subsided. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Master uncle is teaching me that disciples should stick to their original intentions and not drag down our master."
Feng Yingxiu saw his mood change, nodded with relief, and continued:
"I know what you want to ask, but your master's whereabouts are erratic, and I don't know her exact location.
It's all about destroying the Pantheon. Go ahead and get busy. When the situation becomes clear, your master will definitely show up."
"The situation is clear..."
Xiang Jianjue murmured, and a little light finally appeared in his eyes, "Disciple understands, disciple will take his leave."
Feng Yingxiu watched him bow and leave, her brows, which had been pretending to be relaxed, furrowed again, and deep worry flashed in her eyes.
Two months ago, the sect leader's senior brother suddenly came back and announced that he would cut open the center of the earth to obtain the essence and blood of the Candle Dragon.
She was shocked and naturally disagreed. Xuankui's expression also changed and he tried to persuade her to wait a little longer.
But the sect leader's senior brother insisted on his own way and said something that made her hair stand on end when she thought about it now.
"I can keep waiting, but you can't."
"Your generation has produced Xiang Sheng, and it is the most promising generation."
"The opportunity is fleeting. Regardless of whether what she said is true or not, I am willing to take a gamble."
It was then that she learned of Junior Sister Shen Xiang's true identity. She was shocked and only then realized that Xiang Sheng had already left the sect and her whereabouts were unknown.
"Master, what exactly do you and she want to do..."
She sighed in her heart, put aside all distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
Those words that she just reminded Xiang Jianjue were actually meant for herself.
…
The three sects gathered the strength of tens of thousands of earth-moving disciples, and with the presence of a hall master-level great power, they acted without error. In just six days, they opened up a hundred thousand miles of underground rock layers, until they reached an underground space filled with magma and surging heat waves.
The next day, more disciples from the three sects gathered and guarded the area near the entrance like an iron barrel.
Less than half a day later, a tide of Pantheon monks attacked.
At the same time, several members of the Tianyi clan, their bodies covered in shining blood, appeared underground, and the three sect hall masters, who were at the level of great men, confronted them fiercely.
The war finally broke out!
"kill!"
"Kill all the monks of the Pantheon!"
"Destroy the three sects and dominate Xizhou!"
“…”
As soon as the two armies of monks came into contact, their true energy collided violently, as loud as thunder, making the sky and the earth dim.
The faces of all the large and small sects and independent cultivators from Xizhou who came to watch the battle changed. Many of them gritted their teeth and joined the battle, while many others were frightened after just one look and fled far away.
Compared with the battles on the surface, the noise of the underground battles is as quiet as mosquitoes and flies, but the danger is no less than that of the battles on the surface.
"The blood vessels of the survivors have been unusually bright these days. They must have been forcibly awakened in a hurry."
In a hollow underground space, Fairy Cheng Yun watched the battle for a moment, her eyes filled with praise: "Sect Master Qin really did predict it. The Sky Descendants attacked unexpectedly and were ill-prepared. Our chances of winning are much greater now."
Nian Wangzhen was not as optimistic as Fairy Cheng Yun, and said in a low voice: "Even so, the three of us in the Fusion Stage can barely tie with one of the other party.
If they awaken a few more of the Sky Descendants, we won't have enough manpower."
"Fellow Daoist Nian, please be patient."
Qin Tianque looked at the battlefields underground, his expression as calm as ever: "The awakening of the Tianyi people was not without cost.
The more they awaken now, the more advantageous it will be for us to take action later."
When these words were spoken, Fairy Cheng Yun and Nian Wangzhen were both shocked.
The two of them looked at Qin Tianque at the same time. They had never heard of such an argument before.
Among the three of them, Qin Tianque was the youngest. Unexpectedly, the one who knew the most about the Tianyi Clan was also Qin Tianque.
