When the sky was just beginning to turn pale, several deafening noises were heard all around Kunlun.

The barriers on the eight mountain gates exploded at the same time.

Countless monsters with bared fangs and claws rushed in madly from the torn barrier, accompanied by poisonous gas and poisonous insects.

The Demon Cult adopted the most suitable offensive method for the current situation, hoping to defeat Kunlun in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Kunlun was well prepared.

The monks had already formed a battle formation and concentrated all their attention on the mountain gate. The moment the mountain gate exploded, they immediately stabbed it with their swords. At the same time, talismans were thrown out like snowflakes to form a new barrier to block the poisonous gas.

Even if the Demon Cult uses ever-changing methods, it is impossible to get rid of the original routine, and all the routines have already been memorized by Mu Qingning.

Wan Guangliu stood on the flying sword with a ferocious look on his face, surrounded by many guards. With the long sword in his hand drawn, he commanded his monks in a fierce and fierce manner.

There are eight commanders at the eight mountain gates. Their orders are as strong as a mountain and no one dares to resist.

Kunlun blocked the first wave of attacks with careful planning.

The monks were a little frightened at first, but after killing a group of monsters, they gradually calmed down and their morale gradually improved.

"Hey, Junior Brother, look behind us." A monk whispered to the monk next to him, "The phoenix is ​​watching us."

Long before the battle began, someone noticed that a phoenix was perched on a tall fairy tree behind them. It made no sound, but just looked at the monks quietly, occasionally flying down and patrolling around, but did not disturb the battle.

"Don't be distracted! Focus on the battle situation!" Wan Guangliu roared.

The monks didn't dare to go see the phoenix anymore, but they still felt more secure in their hearts.

They had all received orders. If the Phoenix came out to give orders, that would be the will of the Immortal Lord and the Lord of the Priests, and they must follow them strictly.

Now the Phoenix has not made any move, which means that the battle situation is still stable. It is not the turn of the Immortal Lord and the Lord of the Priests to take action. It is enough for them to just obey the original commander.

Li Yuebai's eyes were still tightly closed, and cold sweat was running down his neck.

Fierce battles were taking place on the four screens in front of him, and he had to observe each one carefully without any distraction.

Fortunately, two hours passed and the Demon Cult did not gain any advantage.

"Mu Qingning!" Li Yuebai shuddered as his body was violently shaken. Then he realized where he was - he was lying on an icy cliff, with no one beside him except Yu Tianji.

The person who was shaking himself was of course Yu Tianji, and his voice sounded anxious.

"...I'm fine." He didn't open his eyes, but just spoke to comfort her.

"Are you okay?" Yu Tianji sat down and grabbed Li Yuebai's cold wrist: "You should really look at yourself now. Who would believe you if you said you were okay?"

The cliff was made of bare black basalt. Li Yuebai lay on it, which made his skin look even paler. His long white hair had spread out at some point, making him look as if he was carved out of ice and snow. Even his lips were bloodless.

"The battle situation at the front is still good, so I'm naturally fine..." Li Yuebai had not started commanding yet, and was still thinking about reporting the battle situation to Yu Tianji.

“Since the battle situation is still good, we should let the commanders of each mountain gate take command. You can cut off the spiritual communication with the phoenix first, otherwise the loss will be too great.” Yu Tianji said hurriedly.

"No, I am the chief priest of Kunlun, I cannot be negligent in the slightest." Li Yuebai's voice seemed to come from far away: "...coming."

"What's coming?" Yu Tianji asked hurriedly.

But Li Yuebai didn't answer, he just clenched his hands.

The tide of battle has changed.

At the beginning, the Kunlun monks were able to put up a good resistance, but the Demon Cult, seeing that the situation was not good, sped up their attack, relying on their vicious Taoist magic, and actually advancing step by step.

Although Kunlun started the battle in good condition, they were not the best elite after all. As time went on, their disadvantages in Taoism and swordsmanship gradually became apparent, and they gradually became unable to cope with the situation.

And the energy of the commander is not unlimited. Wan Guangliujin's pipeline technique is very powerful. He persisted in the state of fighting and commanding at the same time for two hours, but he also began to make mistakes.

Even he was like this, and the commanders of several other mountain gates gradually couldn't stand it anymore.

They were considered outstanding among Kunlun's remaining forces, but it was still not enough. They could not compare with Mu Qingning's experience and ability, and they were unable to cope with some unexpected situations.

The members of the Demon Cult were secretly delighted, and they cast evil spells one after another and rushed into the mountain gate.

"Oh no..." The Kunlun monks cried out inwardly and rushed to stop the enemy, but they only felt that the enemy was coming with great force and could not be stopped.

At this moment, a clear roar came from the sky behind the Kunlun monks.

It's a phoenix.

The glittering wings spread out, instantly illuminating the gray sky.

The monks were immediately inspired.

They all knew that they had won the first battle under Phoenix's command, so they would definitely win this time.

Li Yuebai's brows were furrowed, and his breathing and heartbeat were disordered.

He drove four phoenixes to fly at the same time, and used the direction of their flight and clear calls to instruct the monks to respond accordingly and form a new formation.

The effect was excellent, the morale of the monks was high, and more than half of the cult members who rushed in were quickly wiped out... However, such a command was really terrifying.

The four screens in front of me were spinning and changing madly, and all I could see were the flames of exploding spells.

My mind was spinning and I felt sick and stuffy in my stomach.

Then he felt someone picking him up and placing a hand on his chest.

Yu Tianji has never taken care of anyone in his life, and his ability to take care of himself is also terrible.

Therefore, facing the Lord Chief Priest with a painful look on his face, he was at a loss for a moment.

In the end, he could only reluctantly lift him up from the ground, hold him in his arms, put his palm close to his heart, and slowly inject his internal energy into him.

Communicating with four phoenixes at the same time would consume a lot of spiritual energy and damage his body. If he didn't transfer some true energy to him, the consequences would be disastrous.

Those four phoenixes must have been extremely brave and agile on the battlefield, setting up countless magical formations. Even if the demon cultists saw it, they would not have expected that their commander, the Lord Chief Priest, would show such a vulnerable appearance at this moment.

Li Yuebai struggled unconsciously, grabbing Yu Tianji's clothes with both hands and squeezing them tightly. His fingers were slender, with distinct joints, and looked very beautiful.

Yu Tianji felt as if his heart was tightened.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yuebai started coughing violently.

"What's wrong?" Yu Tianji hugged him tighter and whispered in his ear.

"It's... it's fine..." Li Yuebai said softly. His voice was hoarse and thin as a thread: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"All of Kunlun is united." Li Yuebai continued, "If the Immortal Lord can personally go to the mountain gate to supervise the battle, the morale of the cultivators will be greatly boosted, and they will bravely kill the enemy..."

"I can't leave you here." Yu Tianji said.

"Don't say such angry words." Li Yuebai smiled bitterly: "If you went to the front line, maybe you could win early..."

"But……"

"If you don't leave any longer, you'll be driving me to death." Li Yuebai said helplessly, "If you keep going like this, I won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Yu Tianji gritted his teeth in hatred, took out a talisman, and set up a small barrier to cover the Lord Jijiu. He also took out countless magical herbs that contained spiritual power and piled them all over him. Finally, he walked away with his sword, looking back every few steps.

"Host, I have reduced your pain by half. Is it still so unbearable?" the system asked concernedly.

"It's...it's okay..." Li Yuebai gritted his teeth.

Since his previous two missions were successful, the system gave him a reward, which reduced the pain this time by half.

But it still felt very uncomfortable.

"Did the original owner also adopt this kind of command method?" Li Yuebai asked vaguely and subconsciously.

“Almost.” The system replied.

Li Yuebai couldn't help but have greater respect for the original owner.

However, such respect could only exist vaguely in his subconscious mind, and all his energy and consciousness were devoted to commanding the battle.

By the time Yu Tianji arrived at the mountain gate in person, the monks were almost excited.

He was clearly the dissolute Second Young Master before, but unexpectedly, he became so capable after becoming the Immortal Lord. Such a person will surely be able to lead Kunlun to victory.

Although Yu Tianji had difficulty walking, he still rode on the flying sword and went deep into the enemy camp without hesitation.

The Kunlun monks couldn't help but take a few breaths of cool air.

He's the Immortal Lord. It's too risky to fight him like this!

And I've heard that the Second Young Master's swordsmanship and Taoism are both mediocre...

If the Immortal Lord died in battle, the situation would be dire.

As soon as he thought about it, several Kunlun disciples came forward spontaneously to guard the Immortal Master.

Yu Tianji just had a stern face and was full of anger. He swung his sword viciously and chopped off the head of a cult leader.

Whenever he thought of Mu Qingning's appearance, he was filled with anger. If it weren't for the invasion of the Demon Cult, why would Mu Qingning force himself to this point?

The long sword in his hand became even sharper after seeing the blood, as if it was out of his control and spontaneously sought out the neck of the cultist.

Dark blood spurted everywhere, and a lot of it spurted onto his body. Yu Tianji could no longer hear anything, and he only knew to follow his instinct and stab out with his sword one after another.

The battle began in the early morning and ended in dark.

Corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood was everywhere.

"...Win...Win?" A young monk held the body of his companion in a daze. He looked around and found that there were no more cult members to kill.

The mountain gate looked particularly solemn in the silent twilight.

Kunlun won this battle.

The main force of the Demon Cult was annihilated near the mountain gate. Seeing that it was impossible to capture the mountain, the Demon Cult leader had to flee with the remaining followers.

Yu Tianji pulled the sword out of the last cultist and let the blood splatter all over himself.

At the same time, four phoenixes folded their wings and swooped down from the sky.

Yu Tianji was unwilling to wait any longer, so he immediately raised his flying sword, left the mountain gate, and rushed towards the basalt cliff. The four phoenixes followed him quietly, as fast as a meteor.

After stumbling back to the cliff, Yu Tianji picked up Mu Qingning and checked his heart pulse first - it was very weak.

"Host, please wake up." said the system.

"..." Li Yuebai felt his mind was fuzzy and he couldn't even regain consciousness.

"Host, please don't give up. You have won the battle." The system said, "You have completed the third task. Congratulations."

Anyway, there will be endless tasks coming up... I might as well get some sleep first...

Li Yuebai was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.

But I could still feel my body. Someone was hugging me, someone was calling my name in my ear, someone was holding my wrist and injecting warm energy into me. Who was it...?

Li Yuebai felt a wave of disgust in his heart, frowned, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
