Chapter 599 Secret Sentry
This trick again?
Li Weiyi's eyes were peculiar, and he thought of Xie Wumian before his death. So he said, "Jingzhe? You won't tell me that you are a secret sentry of the Sentinel Army, right? Hai Envoy Jingzhen is from the Taixu Clan, hiding in the Shaoyang Division. It's not difficult for you Taiyin Cult to know my solar term titles. Just like we know all about you Twelve Taiyin Envoys."
"I was the one who transmitted all the information from the Twelve Lunar Envoys back to the Sentinel Army."
Huo Tianming wanted to prove himself, and said, "In the previous confrontation, if you had used all your mental power to control the ninety-three Heavenly Sword Talismans, you could indeed suppress me, and possibly even injure me."
"But just now, most of your mental power was used to resist and dissolve Hong Hou's mental attack. Your control over the Heavenly Sword Talisman was actually very weak. It won't be difficult for me to break it."
"If Marquis Hong and I join forces, do you still have a chance of winning?"
It seemed as if he wanted to prove that he had the strength to break the suppression of the Heavenly Sword Talisman.
While Huo Tianming was looking at Li Weiyi, he raised his right palm and swung it back and forth like a dragon or snake shaking its tail.
Clouds and mist swirled around the earth.
A palm print of the fifth level of Taoist magic, "Cloud Sea Brushing Wind Palm", was condensed and lightly shot towards Li Weiyi.
“Boom!”
Hundreds of thousands of longevity scriptures and magical energy intertwined into a hurricane, turning the black lake within a radius of several miles in front of them into water vapor, and the ground was shaved off a layer, appearing concave.
Li Weiyi remained alert, the sword flashing, but he remained calm and composed.
It can be seen that Huo Tianming's control over palm power and Taoist magic is extremely exquisite.
Li Weiyi was clearly at the center of the Taoist attack, but when the palm force came, it automatically split into two, only lifting his hair and sleeves, like a breeze blowing on his face.
It is more difficult to master the power of "not attacking" than to master the power of "attacking".
The fighting power displayed by Huo Tianming at this moment is no less than that of Tang Wanzhou two years ago.
Moreover, the endless palm power was used easily and naturally, and it was clear that there was still some reservation.
Huo Tianming retracted his magical energy and the Longevity Scripture and said contentedly, "Being able to become one of the Twelve Lunar Envoys, I think I'm quite capable, right?"
"It's more than just a bit of weight, Mao Shi is too modest."
Li Weiyi was beginning to believe that Huo Tianming was a potential spy for the Shaoling Army; otherwise, he wouldn't have watched Marquis Hong get killed. His actions at this moment were exposing his true strength, which was a complete loss with no benefit.
But Li Weiyi had another concern in his mind. He pretended to be in deep thought and looked at the two ghost marquises who were killed by the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings.
All seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings had reached the pinnacle of the First Realm, possessing the strength to single-handedly battle against Second Realm warriors. The soul-devouring talent of the second phoenix, the golden crow flames of the third phoenix, and the lightning released from the fourth phoenix's eyes all had a restraining effect on ghosts and spirits.
After the souls of the two ghost marquises exploded, a large amount of green karma fire poured out from their bodies and burned on the ground.
Li Weiyi took out the crimson gourd and handed it to Dafeng, asking her to collect it.
The second phoenix is devouring souls, hoping to break through to the second realm before the first and seventh phoenixes.
"Could it be possible that among the Twelve Lunar Envoys, there are two Sentinel Spirit Soldiers lurking? How can I believe this?"
Li Weiyi said this after careful consideration.
The purpose of worrying about Huo Tianming is to test Xie Wumian's life and death and true identity.
Huo Tianming was quite anxious and said no more: "I don't care whether Xie Wumian is a lurker of the Sentinel Army or not, and I don't expect you to trust me so easily. You just need to pass on the message."
"Tell Shaoyang Weishengsi that the Taiyin Cult is currently luring the armies of the dead from Yecheng and Qiyuan Plains to the south of the ancient country of Suiyuexu. Tell her to prepare early."
"As for whether to evacuate immediately or secretly unite with all living forces and attack first, it is up to you to choose."
This news came like a bolt from the blue!
Li Weiyi was shocked: "Gathering the army, what is Chu Yutian going to do?"
Huo Tianming shook his head slightly. "It seems to be related to some circumstances in the ancient country of Suiyuexu. I haven't figured out the specific reason yet. But, it is inevitable that I will deal with you while I'm at it."
"Escorting the Stone of Time and sending it out is a condition put forward by Yecheng when Chu Yutian asked them to borrow troops."
"Also, I heard that decades ago, during the last period of withering and flourishing, some deceased spirits discovered something unusual about the ancient country of Suiyuexu, so they stayed and didn't leave. With the help of the Netherworld, no one knows what realm they have cultivated to, and Chu Yutian has been searching for them."
"But these deceased souls seem to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and the Taiyin Cult has yet to find any of them."
"In short, if you have any Taoist skills bestowed by the elders, do not use them lightly. The real life-and-death duel may not yet come."
Li Weiyi and Huo Tianming sensed something at the same time and looked towards the north.
From the north, a sharp breath came at a high speed, like a dazzling sword from the sky, crossing thousands of miles of territory with terrifying momentum.
Extremely fast.
Compared to him, Qing Zao, who is known for his body skills and Taoist magic, is far inferior.
"It's Qi Jianru from Du'e Temple. He came in with the Demon Nation team. He's been following me all the way, looking for an opportunity to attack, thinking I wasn't aware. He must have noticed the battle fluctuations at this moment, so he came here at such a high speed."
Huo Tianming's expression was solemn, fully aware of the consequences of revealing his identity. "Qi Jianru has already broken the third immortality lock and reached the early stages of the third realm. His combat power surpasses you and me by a wide margin. If he can raise his cultivation to the critical point of breaking the fourth immortality lock in the ancient country of Suiyuexu, and then break through to the realm of great immortality after leaving, he will most likely be directly canonized as a true disciple, using his cultivation advantage to overwhelm other competitors."
"Hurry up and attack me with all your might. Don't hold back."
After he finished speaking, Huo Tianming picked up the unconscious beautiful corpse queen, took a step forward, and displayed the fourth level of Taoist body movement, Feiyun Thirteen Crossings.
“Swish!”
With a flash of his body, thirteen Huo Tianmings appeared on the ground.
Each figure, a mile or two apart, could instantly reach a distance of twenty miles. Their escape technique was exceptionally sophisticated.
It is not easy to pursue the great immortality of the fourth realm.
"What a powerful escape technique."
Li Weiyi collected the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings into his insect bag. His magical energy activated the governor's robe, transforming it into a ball of purple mist. He teleported and chased them for dozens of miles, shouting, "You're about to die, and you still want to escape?"
“Boom!”
The Purple Thunder Seal flew out and attacked from a distance.
A moment later, a bright sword light pierced the air and landed on the ground strewn with the stones of time. The young figure, standing tall and heroic like a sword immortal, gradually became clearer.
The sky turned purple and thunder roared.
Qi Jianru examined the traces of battle on the ground and showed a look of shock. Then, he chased for a hundred miles along the earth that was scorched by lightning and found bloodstains on the ground.
He has already detected the aura of the Purple Sky Thunder Seal.
But I don't believe that Li Weiyi can accomplish such a feat alone.
You know, Huo Tianming and Hong Hou are both at the peak of the third realm, and Dilong Shihou is also a strong man in the third realm. Facing these three strong men at the same time, with his ability, he has little confidence in winning.
Qi Jianru was about to continue chasing forward when a blood-red ghost shadow as huge as a mountain walked out from the darkness.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
A cold wind swept across the entire field.
Qi Jianru's eyes fixed, and he felt a chilling murderous intent.
Xueshan Hou, who had rushed over from the Tiandu River Netherworld, thought it was Qi Jianru who had intercepted the escort team. He strode forward with a ferocious look on his face, and roared angrily, "Human, you are courting death!"
…
To the south of the ancient country of Suiyuexu is the power of the dead centered on the ancient Ye City. It is the place where the souls of the unjustly dead, wronged souls, and resentful souls return.
Among the hundreds of records of intelligence in Dongxu Camp, "Records of Lords of Yecheng" ranks at the top, and is full of masters.
The Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis, who had previously fought against Baichuan with the Jade Corpse Marquis, came from the ancient Ye City.
The Lord of Ye City is a being more powerful than the Holy Infant, and is the strongest undead spirit in the area around Lingxiao Habitat.
Rumor has it that the five ghosts of the Seven Injustices Plain must obey the orders of the Lord of Ye City.
Li Weiyi had spent three months on guard duty at the Yecheng outpost and knew the approximate location of the ancient city. Therefore, he headed south, searching along the withered and flourishing belt on the edge of the ancient country of Suiyuexu, looking for any traces of the army.
No matter how true what Huo Tianming said was, he had to verify it personally.
The darkness was endless, and the moonlight of time had grown faint in this remote land. The ancient nation of Suiyuexu itself was a place touched by the moonlight of time, its borders carved out in the realm of the dead.
The whole world was quiet, with only the whistling wind and sand blowing continuously.
In an instant, all traces were buried.
This resulted in Li Weiyi searching for several days and traveling 20,000 miles, but finding nothing.
Even if there really is an army of the dead, scattered across such a boundless wilderness, finding them would be as difficult as climbing to the sky with just a little bit of concealment, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Did Huo Tianming lie to me?"
Li Weiyi looked at the gray-white withered belt in the distance, preparing to cross it, go to the outpost, and let the Sentinel Army go to the ancient industry city to investigate.
With a sudden thought, he thought of a place.
The underworld of Fanye Valley.
It is only six thousand miles away from the barren and prosperous zone at the edge of the border.
If there is a big shot in the Taiyin Sect, he will definitely need a place to station his troops to lead the army of the dead.
The Fanye Valley's underworld had experienced a brutal bloody battle. Who would dare to return to investigate? There was no point in returning.
There is a complete defensive formation there, which is a perfect place to station and hide troops.
Two years later, Li Weiyi returned to the underworld of Fanye Valley again, hiding in a rocky area, and gazing at the three towering and majestic mountains from afar.
The cracks and scars in the earth caused by the collision of magical instruments have not yet been repaired by wind and sand.
Suddenly, Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes and saw a corpse hanging on a flagpole outside the valley entrance.
The Shaoyang Guards' robes were tattered, their hair was like straw, and their bodies had weathered to a dry, grayish-black color.
It’s Lu Qing!
Li Weiyi felt mixed emotions.
When the deputy sentry allowed them to decide freely whether to enter the ancient country of Suiyuexu, Lu Qing’s bold words were still clear in their ears.
A realm, a period of time, the first person of the same generation, enjoying countless praises and favors, but it came to an abrupt end at the first realm of longevity, and there was no future that everyone expected.
“Boom!”
In the open space in front of the valley entrance, a hurricane came sideways, stirring up sand and dust.
Dark clouds and fog filled the dust.
A group of ghost cavalrymen, fully armored, marched in unison, out of the dark clouds and fog.
"Clang, clang."
Standard armor, swords, bows and arrows, they can obviously form a battle formation and unleash extraordinary combat power.
They had strict military discipline and a strong aura of murderous intent. Whether they were soldiers or spirit beast mounts, their eyes burned with green flames, giving people a huge sense of oppression.
Li Weiyi, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, immediately opened his eyes and looked over.
I saw a black chariot coming out from the dark clouds and fog.
