Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 240 Guarding Yongye Bay

Knowing that the beast tide was coming, the entire Jade Toad Sect was surrounded by an atmosphere of tension and fear. On the way to leave the Lingyun Peak Branch Hall, Luo Qing saw many young disciples walking in a hurry and looking panicked. Some of them were in a hurry. The young and timid man couldn't help crying.

Luo Qingli sighed secretly and walked quickly towards Lingyun Peak.

Master Yutang has communicated with Master Heshuo. As Master Heshuo's disciple, Qin Ziyan naturally follows him to guard Yongye Bay.

When she saw Luo Qingli, Qin Ziyan came up to him and smiled wryly with a worried look on her face, "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

Luo Qingli frowned and said, "You just advanced to the middle stage of foundation building not long ago. Don't you need to stabilize the foundation first?"

Qin Ziyan shook her head, "I have adapted well and there is no problem. Besides, when a disaster is approaching, I may not be able to feel at ease even if I stay in the sect. It is better to go out with the master and temper myself."

Luo Qingli nodded lightly and stood to one side watching the people coming and going in the branch hall. Qin Ziyan said softly: "Yongye Bay is a geomantic treasure land with mountains and water behind it. There are several large towns behind it. There are both monks and mortals, and the number of humans alone is tens of thousands. In such a short period of time, there is no time for them to move away. I heard from the master that there are dozens of monks assigned to Yongye Bay by the Jade Toad Sect, all of them. They are disciples who are proficient in formations, and their cultivation levels are all above the middle stage of foundation building."

In addition to the support from Nanzhao's nine sects, local monks also need to be prepared. Yongye Bay is a fortress. Once it is lost, a hole will be opened. Not only will the town fall quickly, but Nanzhao's defense line will also accelerate. disintegrate.

Master Heshuo had to be cautious when dealing with this place.

Luo Qingli asked: "When shall we set off?"

"In an hour, prepare the supplies and leave immediately." Qin Ziyan was going to the market to buy some things. Luo Qingli also needed to buy some more talismans or go to the Poison Hall to buy some items.

The current market was in chaos and the atmosphere was a bit tense. Luo Qingli saw a female cultivator squatting in a corner quietly wiping her tears and sobbing softly.

"I don't want to go to war... I'm just a farmer. I only manage medicine fields on weekdays. When I go to the battlefield, I don't even know how I died. I don't want to die yet..."

The faces of the people around him were indescribably heavy.

Except for some elite disciples, most of the monks who were selected to be the first group to go to the front line were ordinary foundation-building monks. Among these foundation-building monks, none were over two hundred years old. The last time Nanzhao encountered a beast The tide happened more than 180 years ago. For them, it was indeed their first time to experience an animal tide.

"Qingli, are you afraid?" Qin Ziyan pursed her lips as if feeling something, lowered her eyes and said: "To be honest, I'm actually a little scared. I still have a lot of things to do. If I die in the beast tide, then what will happen to me?" I won’t be willing to do anything like this...if you think about it carefully, it’s really a bit cowardly.”

Luo Qingli could understand this feeling when she thought of the blood feud Qin Ziyan carried.

She sighed softly: "Everyone in the world has seven emotions and six desires. Fear is human nature. This is not cowardice. Sometimes, it can become a motivation."

Qin Ziyan raised her eyes and blinked, "Are you afraid too? But I see you seem to be particularly calm..."

"I am also a human being, of course I will be scared." Luo Qingli shook his head and laughed, "It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings about the beast tide. If possible, I don't want this to happen, but since it has already happened , and we don’t have the ability to change it, so we can only find ways to deal with it.”

"The road to spiritual practice is destined to be bumpy and bumpy. Among tens of millions of monks, how many can become powerful? We are all part of the struggle. If we want to climb up, we are destined to face some things. You can't avoid it even if you want to..."

Her voice was light, with hints of sadness. Qin Ziyan pondered for a while and sighed helplessly.

"You always think so clearly..." She said with a smile and said: "It's really hard to imagine when you will be so messed up."

Luo Qingli thought for a moment and shook his head slowly, "I'm not sure about this either."

After buying the necessary things, the two went to the big square together. Master Heshuo had already prepared the flying boat early, counted the people, and took the dozens of foundation-building monks to Yongye Bay.

That place is not far from the Jade Toad Sect. The Jindan monks can reach it in three days at full speed. If other sects want to send more help, it will undoubtedly take longer, so they can only reach it in three days. The Toad Sect came to take the lead.

In the past three days, Master Heshuo has received some news one after another.

The barrier in the Liusha River Valley only lasted for two days under the protection of many formation mages before it was broken through by the beast herd.

The river valley barrier is too huge, and it is very difficult to maintain. There are always areas that cannot be taken into account. Once the beasts find a weak point and rush into it, it can be easily broken, and as long as it is broken, the entire barrier will gradually Falling apart.

The duration of the barrier's support was shorter than expected, which also reflected the extraordinary scale of this beast tide. The beasts had begun to invade in large numbers, and the surrounding areas of the river valley were almost destroyed to the ground.

The Jade Toad Sect, Zhenfu Sect, and Beast Control Sect all opened their mountain protection formations, leaving only one or two entrances to facilitate the entry and exit of the monks.

Everyone on the flying boat looked at each other with heavy eyes.

On the third day, the group finally arrived at Yongye Bay. Several nearby towns had already activated city defense formations, because this place had always been an important road. There were also several additional formations outside the city, which were arranged very delicately.The person responsible for the response is also a Golden Core Stage monk with the Taoist name Bi'an.

There was no time to say too much, Heshuo Zhenren asked directly: "How is the situation now?"

"Not very good." Master Bi'an shook his head, "The scouts from the front came to report that some of the herds are approaching Yongye Bay and will arrive in two days at most. The city has made preparations to stop the low-level beasts. Problem, but if there are too many monsters and high-level monsters join, these formations will not be able to sustain it."

Master Heshuo's eyes deepened slightly, and he pointed behind him and said: "These disciples I brought are all people who are familiar with the formation and can help maintain the formation."

Master Bi'an looked at these monks and nodded repeatedly, "It's good, there are not many formation mages in the city, and they will definitely be busy by then. I'd like to help you, fellow Taoist Heshuo."

"No eggs are left intact when the nest is overturned, this is how it should be."

Since they were here for support and time was running out, everyone immediately started working separately.

Luo Qingli and Qin Ziyan found drawings of major city protection formations and made a rough understanding of them.

Master Heshuo went to inspect the protective array outside the city, and made several changes to the original one, transforming it into a large array that integrated trapping and killing.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Within two days, a warning bell was suddenly heard ringing in the city. Everyone's heart skipped a beat and they all looked out of the city.

In the far northwest, thick smoke suddenly billowed up, and an army of beasts pressed down on the territory. Birds and beasts rushed over, flying sand and rocks, covering the sky and the sun. For a while, the evil spirit surged into the sky, and it was chaotic.

"Beasts, the herd is coming!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the crowd suddenly became commotion, panic, fear, and crying. The guards in the city picked up their weapons, stood in a row, and shouted loudly: "Quiet! There is a city defense formation, so why make any noise!" "

Luo Qingli saw the summoning signal sent by Master Heshuo and immediately rushed to Yongye Bay outside the city. Master Heshuo held several formation flags in his hand and waved his hand. The formation of Yongye Bay was opened wide, ready to welcome the incoming attack. The coming herd.

Master Heshuo assigned another task: "Come and five disciples will each guard a position. The beasts will not be destroyed, the formation will not be destroyed, and the other monks will be on standby!"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted yes.

The formation of Yongye Bay has been transformed by Master Heshuo, and the group has become familiar with it in the past two days. Master Heshuo is in the late stage of Jindan and can completely control such a large formation, but there are several other important formations. It also needs someone to maintain it.

Soon there were five people guarding the positions of all parties. Luo Qingli did not defend the position, but stood in a safe area and waited.

As expected, the beasts rushed towards Yongye Bay and stepped into the formation. Then the beasts soon discovered that the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

This batch of monsters are all low-level monsters. The ones with the highest cultivation level are only at the fourth level. Their intelligence is not as good as that of high-level monsters. They are not sure what the current situation is. After a slight pause, they rush forward again. .

Master Heshuo smiled coldly outside the formation. The formation flag in front of him changed its position, and several spiritual techniques were struck one after another. Several thunderbolts suddenly fell from the originally clear sky, hitting the monsters in the air, knocking them out one by one. shoot down.

The thunder was rolling and torrential, the loess was flying and dust was boundless, and countless thorny vines emerged from the ground. The beasts in the formation were immediately blocked.

Luo Qingli stood outside the formation and watched, clenching his fists.

Only after seeing the beast tide with my own eyes did I know what a tragic scene it was.

These monster beasts have been traveling all the way east. Since they can get here, it is not difficult to imagine what happened along the way. Some humans who have not had time to find shelter will inevitably become their food.

The formation was very powerful, and lower-level monsters were killed by thunder, but higher-level monsters were able to survive with their strong bodies, and they continued to charge forward even though their bodies were covered in blood and flesh.

The base of the beast herd was too large and endless, and the formation only blocked their steps. Master Heshuo was not surprised by this situation, and said loudly: "Put on the formation key and enter the formation. You will not see the situation." Miao retreat immediately!"

The so-called formation keys are actually a batch of jade tokens that Master Heshuo made overnight. As long as you wear the jade tokens, you will not be attacked by the formation even if you are in the formation. If you crush the key, you will Being transported to a safe area immediately is the best way to ensure safety.

Luo Qingli hung a jade plaque on his waist, raised his sword and rushed into the battle.
