Chapter 257: Covering the sky and trapping Ding'an
Liu Xia untied the horse's harness and shouted at the horse, and the horse started back the way it came.
Seeing him like this, Banxia was very curious: "Aren't you afraid that the horse will get lost?"
"This is called 'An Old Horse Knows the Way,'" Liu Xia said with a smile as he packed up the rope. "It's a military horse. After a battle, there are so many horses on the battlefield. Many horses will find their way back home after the battle."
Find it back by yourself?
Banxia was very surprised. Isn't this a dog?
Lingxiang just smiled and said, "Although this place is still some distance away from Ding'anju, it is still a life after all. It can be killed on the battlefield, but there is no need to drag it to death for the sake of outside affairs."
Although Xinyi said many words of comfort to herself when she left, the expression on her face could not deceive her. If she guessed correctly, the situation outside Ding'an Residence must have been in chaos.
Lingxiang took out two soul-hiding talismans and handed them out, saying, "I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle this time. To avoid an ambush by the demons, it is best to hide your presence first and sneak in quietly."
Although they had been prepared, Lingxiang and the other two were shocked by the scene outside Ding'an Residence: the small courtyard was originally surrounded by forests, but now there was no trace of the courtyard at all. It was filled with swarms of monsters. Even from a long distance away, they could still hear the deafening roar.
How chaotic is this?
Although there is the protection of Master Chengxin's magic circle, with so many monsters, even if they were suffocated, they would suffocate people to death!
"Why...?" Liu Xia was also shocked by the scene in front of him and asked in astonishment.
But Lingxiang didn't know what to do for a moment. Even if they went, it would not be enough to fill the gaps in other people's teeth. It would be nothing more than seeking death, not to mention going to rescue.
"Judging from the current situation, Senior Brother Chengxin must be in seclusion, otherwise he wouldn't allow the monster to be so arrogant," Lingxiang speculated, but she was also worried.
Everyone said that Master Chengxin was the most advanced cultivator in the entire Yuanqing Sect, but she had never seen the true abilities of her third senior brother. Besides, even if his cultivation was at the highest level, could he still reach the heavens?
Even with extraordinary cultivation, facing so many monsters, it would be difficult to deal with them in a short time, right?
But Banxia didn't understand what he said: "Retreat? Retreat at this time?"
Lingxiang blamed herself for not being thoughtful enough to make full preparations before leaving. She sighed and explained, "Were you injured by a monster like this during your martial arts performance?"
Banxia nodded, then shook her head - she was indeed unharmed, and it was Long Qi and the others who were injured.
"These unenlightened demons will only inadvertently inflict poisonous miasma on people after injuring them, but a few pills can dispel this. However, if the highly advanced demons intentionally injure people, regardless of whether they live or die, they will leave behind the miasma on their bodies. If it is not dispelled quickly, the injured person will gradually fall into the devil's way."
"And removing miasma is extremely exhausting. It's not an exaggeration to say it consumes one's cultivation," Lingxiang frowned. "So those with low cultivation levels can't help others with removing miasma."
Miasma is like planting a demon seed in a person, and removing miasma is to eradicate this demon seed.
So there is such a saying. Banxia suddenly understood it and said that it was no wonder that Taoist Chi Yanzi became so weak after removing the miasma from Maidong last time.
Lingxiang nodded. "It's said that after removing miasma from a person, one must retreat and circulate the Qi for seven small cycles before recovery. And an injured person must retreat and circulate the Qi for 120 days before recovery. But..."
But now it seems that it is really unlikely...
Lingxiang suddenly felt strange. Xiaobai, while not a true demon, was nonetheless a vengeful demon, tortured by the devil for centuries and only now regaining consciousness. Huiwu had only been a demon for a short time, so how could he avoid being consumed by the devil?
Or, although he still has consciousness, he is still sinking and struggling in the evil path?
Lingxiang quickly shook her head: "How can I care about these things now? What does it have to do with me what happens to others? I still have to think of a countermeasure quickly."
"What if...what if we approach quietly and eliminate them from the outside first?" Liu Xia was extremely anxious, but could not think of any way to break the deadlock.
"Are you crazy?" Banxia shouted when she heard the words, and then suddenly realized her current situation. She quickly covered her mouth and looked towards Ding Anju.
Fortunately, compared with the bunch of crazy people at the foot of the mountain, my voice was really insignificant. I think even if it was blown away by the wind, the monsters below would not be able to hear it.
However, she lowered her voice and said, "Look at those monsters at the foot of the mountain. Each one is as strong as a beast. Forget about killing them. I'm afraid they'll be eaten before you even get close."
Lingxiang's eyes lit up, but she didn't say much. She just nodded and said, "Banxia is right. Don't underestimate those monsters. Although they haven't yet gained spiritual wisdom, they have the nature of wild beasts and their five senses are very sharp."
"We can't let them destroy the magic circle like this, what if..." Liu Xia couldn't help but think of the second martial arts performance.
Lingxiang knew what Liu Xia was thinking and just smiled and shook her head: "Senior Brother Chengxin is different from me. He is in the Nascent Soul Void Realm. In another hundred years, I'm afraid he will be able to break through to the Divine Realm. Let alone these low-level monsters, even if Bai Wuchang comes, he may not be able to break his magic circle."
"But...but even so, we can't just leave these monsters alone, right?" Banxia really couldn't think of any way to solve the current predicament.
"Of course not. I do have a plan," Lingxiang smiled. "It's all thanks to Banxia that she reminded me. I'll just have to trouble you two to run some errands."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xia and Banxia looked at each other and asked hurriedly what the method was.
Lingxiang smiled cunningly and waved to the two of them, signaling them to come closer: "This way...this way..."
…
The monsters outside the formation roared loudly, initially they were just shouting on the ground, but within half a day, they were climbing on each other one by one, and in a short while, they covered Ding'anju like a curtain.
Long Qi and Zhao Wuyang had never seen such a scene before, and they were both at a loss, but they had no idea what to do.
The two of them also felt like they were living in a year, but the formation was now so dark that they couldn't even tell what time it was.
What's worse is that Long Qi is becoming weaker and weaker.
He originally thought that his headache and fever were just caused by external injuries, but he didn't expect that he would start to have hallucinations. In addition to the roar of monsters, his ears were filled with laughter that kept echoing.
The laughter sounded very crazy, and he felt as if he was in a quagmire. Along with the laughter, there was a huge hand that kept pulling him down.
Long Qi was afraid that Zhao Wuyang would worry, so he tried hard to keep his mind clear, but the more he tried, the more confused and unbearable he became.
Finally, Long Qi could no longer support himself and fell straight down on his back.
Zhao Wuyang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly slapped Long Qi's face and shouted, but when he touched Long Qi, he found that Long Qi was terribly burned.
In the chaos, Long Qi could vaguely hear Zhao Wuyang's call, which was drowned out by the monster's roar, but he was too tired and only replied subconsciously: "It's okay... It's okay..."
Darkness surged like a tide, hitting the Divine Court. Just as Long Qi was about to sink, a voice suddenly rang out:
"You monsters are only following orders. The Life-Restoring Pill is here, why don't you hurry and follow us!"
