I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 297 The war begins!
Xiangzhou, Laoshan.

Under the vast expanse of the sky, the sky was clear and blue, like a pure and flawless painting. The sun was high in the sky, and the golden light spread over the earth, coating everything with a layer of dazzling brilliance.

The pure white sea of ​​clouds interweaves with the azure sky, and the golden sunlight shines down. Today is another good day.

But at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened. Above the sky, the black light of the formation bloomed layer by layer, and a black tide surged out from it, as if there were hideous evil spirits in it, roaring, with cruelty in their scarlet eyes.

"coming!"

On the main peak of Laoshan, feeling the dissipation of the spatial fluctuations, the Yi Mu spirit body, who had been waiting for a long time, looked solemn, and Wang Lingguan beside him also looked solemn.

As the core area of ​​Xiangzhou, Laoshan has been managed by Chen Yan's subordinates since it was occupied by Chen Yan.

The original Laoshan Road had a large mountain protection formation.

However, it was destroyed by Chen Yan in the subsequent war. In addition, Chen Yan looked down on the original mountain protection formation of Laoshan, so he arranged a new mountain protection formation.

This is a complex formation, called Thunder, which is simplified from the [Shenxiao Yushu Five Elements Divine Thunder Formation]. It focuses on killing. Due to the geographical environment, the power of this formation cannot be fully exerted, but it is definitely enough for defense.

The other one is named Xingdou, which is mainly used for defense and movement. Now Luda and his men are constantly expanding this formation, hoping that it can cover the entire Xiangxi County and even the entire Xiangzhou.

This complex formation goes beyond the original mountain protection battle on Laoshan Road. When it is activated, it can even resist the attacks of Yin-Shen masters who have refined their spirits and returned to the void for a period of time.

Looking at the aggressive army of Ghost Crying Sect, Yi Mu's spirit was frightened but remained calm. He took out the formation plate immediately and activated the power of the formation.

In an instant, dark clouds gathered and covered the entire sky above Mount Laoshan. There were lightning and silver snakes, thunder roared, and it seemed that stars appeared in the daytime. Thousands of stars fell and condensed into a gorgeous formation light curtain, completely covering the entire Mount Laoshan.

Not long after, curtains of light were erected on other branches of the Laoshan Mountain Range. They were the protective formations of the cultivation forces located on each branch, such as Meishan Dao, Lushan Dao, etc. They were vaguely connected into one, like a brilliant sea of ​​stars, echoing the main peak of Laoshan.

At the same time, Xu Ji, Qin Chong, Enbatu, Lang Xing, Zhang Tianzheng, Yuantong, Wu Guhan, Zhang Yan, Hong Gu and others who were stationed on the main roads in and out of Laoshan all had solemn and dignified expressions.

At this moment, the thick ghost aura was like a huge piece of dyed cloth that dyed the entire sky.

At this moment, the day seemed to turn into night in an instant, the sun was obscured, and a huge black cloud rolled in.

And at this moment, a powerful ghost energy bloomed wildly above the sky.

"He is definitely a ghost cultivator who has reached the level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation! The leader of the Ghost Crying Sect is here indeed!"

Feeling the terrifying ghostly aura emanating from the black clouds in the distance, the solemnity in Yi Mu's eyes became even more intense.

It was at this moment that the black cloud in the distance suddenly boiled, as if it were boiling water, expanding and contracting, and turned into a huge one-eyed monster.

At the same time, a black light burst out from the single eye, and suddenly countless ghosts poured down like a flood, trying to submerge the entire Laoshan Mountain.

"These ghosts alone can't destroy Xiangzhou!"

With murderous intent bursting out in his heart, he took a step forward and stood on the main peak of Laoshan. Yi Mu's spirit body formed a large formation and activated the Thunder Star Formation.

The next moment, thousands of underground water veins roared, and a terrifying power burst out from the depths of the earth.

"The Thunder Dragon roars!"

Locking onto the ghost in the sky, Yi Mu's spirit triggered changes in the formation.

At this moment, a long and majestic dragon roar sounded, and a huge dragon claw that was purple all over and seemed to be made of thunder stretched out from the ground and easily tore the sky apart.

All the ghosts that were pouring down were annihilated, including the one-eyed ghost formed by the ghost energy.

"Humph!"

At this moment, a cold snort sounded from the dark clouds.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, two long and deep black rays tore through the void, and slashed towards the main peak of Laoshan like a heavenly sword!

"Star Lord Guardian!"

Without any hesitation, with the help of the external star formation, Yi Mu's spirit body took a defensive posture.

At this moment, with the help of the power of the formation, a black tortoise formed by starlight appeared above the sky. It carried the sky on its back and protected the entire Laoshan Mountain.

Roar, roaring towards the sky, letting out a roar full of pain. As the black light fell, it only resisted for a moment before the huge black tortoise was torn from head to tail and turned into a sky full of stars and dissipated.

"The power of the Yin God! The leader of the Ghost Crying Sect!"

Looking up at the sky, he caught a glimpse of a cold and stern figure. Yi Mu's spirit's face looked more solemn than ever before.

Although the Starry Sky Defense Array was set up not long ago, Yi Mu's spirit body thought that even if several Golden Core cultivators who had reached the perfection of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation attacked it, it would be impossible to break through the Starry Sky Defense Array without one or two hours.

However, just now, the virtual image of the Black Tortoise formed by the Star Defense Array was easily torn into pieces. The only one who could do this was the Yin Shen third-level cultivator who had refined his spirit and returned to the void, the leader of the Ghost Crying Sect!
Also at this time-

Buzz! Purple-black beams of light penetrated the sky and earth. Countless ghosts poured out from the black clouds, using the ghosts as a formation. After temporarily suppressing the star formation of Laoshan, the ghosts activated the formation and actually completely blocked the hundreds of miles of area occupied by Laoshan, isolating the inside and the outside!
This is the Ghost Crying Sect's formation of imprisoning all ghosts, with ghosts as the core of the formation, and it is best at imprisoning ghosts.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Wang Lingguan, Four-Winged Chan, Xu Ji, Zhang Tianzheng and other people in Xiangzhou suddenly changed.

The other party is determined to wipe him out completely in Laoshan!

There is no way to survive or escape.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Ghosts Imprisonment Formation was formed, the spiritual practice forces located in the branches of Laoshan became restless.

Some timid cultivators even wanted to escape, but as soon as they approached the formation, they were overwhelmed by countless ghosts and died on the spot without even having time to scream.

"It's troublesome..."

Feeling the threat coming from the sky, Yi Mu's heart kept sinking.

This move by the Ghost Crying Sect was the most vicious.

He dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the people in Xiangzhou before the war even started.

Even without looking, Yi Mu Spirit can feel that the morale of his own side is constantly declining. Although there has been no unrest in the core army formation for the time being, if the morale is allowed to decline, it will only be a matter of time before the army is defeated!

It was obvious that the Ghost Crying Sect had the advantage, but in order to completely wipe out Xiangzhou, the leader of the Ghost Crying Sect used all means possible.

“We have to find a way to make changes!”

Yi Mu spirit said in his heart.

Thinking of this, Yi Mu's spirit looked at Wang Lingguan who was standing beside him. Feeling the gaze of Yi Mu's spirit, Wang Lingguan immediately understood what Yi Mu's spirit meant.

Wang Lingguan nodded heavily and then went towards the back mountain of the main peak of Laoshan.

Wang Lingguan's temporary position did not cause any waves.

Dark clouds covered the sky above the main peak of Laoshan Mountain.

A black beam of light penetrated the sky and earth, forming a huge cage that completely covered an area of ​​100 miles around Laoshan.

It was at this time that a huge, dark ghost figure like a giant appeared in the eyes of the world.

Above the ghost, there was a pair of extremely cold and deep eyes, and the ghost looked down at the world from a condescending attitude.

The voice of Jiang Li, the leader of the Ghost Crying Sect, came out coldly from the huge ghost shadow. It only had three words:
"Kill without mercy."

"Kill!!!"

The terrifying murderous intent burst out from the huge ghost shadow, and the sound of fighting rang out into the sky.

Rumble, ghostly energy filled the sky. Following Jiang Li's order, tens of thousands of the Ghost Crying Sect's army rushed out at the same time, carrying with them the yin energy in the sky, and rushed straight to Mount Laoshan, intending to tear all the living beings on Mount Laoshan to pieces and turn it into a land of underworld.

At this moment, looking from afar, Laoshan has been completely submerged in the dark ghostly aura. No trace of spiritual light from heaven and earth can be seen anymore, and it no longer has the splendor of the past.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ji, Qin Chong, Embatu, Zhang Tianzheng... almost all of Chen Yan's men showed solemn looks on their faces. Some of them felt scared, but no one took a step back.

"Follow me, my generals, to kill the demons and protect Xiangzhou!"

Xu Ji roared and rushed forward first.

In an instant, three thousand Dragon Sparrow Army followed, and after that, ten thousand Xiangxi County soldiers.

Seeing Xu Ji leading his troops to meet them, Embatu roared and also led 10,000 soldiers from Qianzhong County to charge forward.

Then there were the 10,000 Black Mountain demon soldiers led by Lang Xing, the Xiangzhou Flying Fish Guards led by Zhang Tianzheng and Yuantong, and the Xiangzhou monks led by Zhang Yan and Hong Gu...

For a moment, the armies of both sides fought each other, using magic and Taoism, and using weapons and sharp blades to fight with the ghosts.

Even though the 50,000 troops of the Ghost Crying Sect are all practitioners, the Xiangzhou side has the existence of 8,000 Blood Thunder Curse Bird Guns.

In just one encounter, thousands of disciples of the Guiku Sect were killed.

The crackling sounds, like lightning and silver snakes, connected together, causing all the Ghost Crying Sect disciples who saw this scene to change their faces.

Seeing the Blood Thunder Curse Bird Gun's success, the Xiangzhou side was greatly encouraged, and for a moment they even overwhelmed the ghosts who were well prepared.

However, soon, the support from the Guiku Sect's Qi-refining and Divine Golden Core cultivators immediately joined the battlefield and turned the situation around.

After all, although the Blood Thunder Curse Bird Gun is powerful, it is only at the stage of refining essence into Qi. For the Jindan cultivators who are refining Qi into spirit, the Blood Thunder Curse Bird Gun is still slightly inferior.

Only the more powerful Binghuo Leishen Cannon could achieve success and establish its prestige, but Xu Ji and others held back.

They knew that now was not the time to use the Binghuo Leishen Cannon.

This is his most crucial trump card in Xiangzhou. Even if he has to use it, he has to use it on the opponent's leader of the Ghost Crying Sect who has refined his spirit and returned to the void!
High in the sky.

Looking down at the battlefield below, Jiang Li hadn't spoken yet, but the old man Tian Can who came to help suddenly said:

"I have to say that this Laoshan is still quite attractive. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they might not be able to conquer this Laoshan."

Jiang Li's eyes were slightly cold, without any emotion. He just replied with four words:
"The mantis' arm is like a chariot."

The old man Tiancan did not refute, but nodded as a matter of course, and then smiled and complimented:
"Of course. Compared to Daoist Jiang's Ghost Crying Sect, this Laoshan is still far inferior, not to mention that Chen Yan is already dead, and there is nothing that can stop Daoist Jiang."

After all, in a few days he would have to enter the inner world with the help of the entrance to the inner world occupied by the Ghost Crying Gate, so old man Tiancan certainly didn't mind saying some polite words.

I don't know what he was thinking, but I saw the old man Tiancan's eyes turn and he suddenly said:

"Since Brother Jiang Daoist has invited me to come and help, I would feel ashamed if I did not take any action and received Brother Jiang Daoist's benefit for nothing. In this battle, Brother Jiang Daoist, you should just stand aside and let me do it."

Jiang Li glanced at Old Man Tiancan and naturally saw through the old man's thoughts at a glance.

To put it bluntly, old man Tiancan still wants to continue borrowing the space channel for a few days, but if the reinforcements don't help, old man Tiancan is worried that the Guiku Sect will go back on their word, so he plans to take action now, which will completely block the Guiku Sect's way to go back on their word.

Jiang Li sneered in his heart, but he certainly would not show it. He nodded and then said:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Taoist Tiancan."

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother, it's my duty, it's my duty, I take money from people to help them get rid of their troubles, if I can't help at all, I would feel ashamed to take this benefit myself."

Old man Tiancan replied with a smile.

Then, without giving Jiang Li any chance to refuse, he flew out from the black cloud and headed straight for the main peak of Laoshan.

The majestic and powerful aura of refining the spirit and returning to the void spread out, instantly blowing away several disciples of the Ghost Crying Sect nearby and focusing the attention of the entire audience.

When feeling the unique power of refining the spirit and returning to the void, the mind of Yi Mu's spirit was immediately drawn there.

But the moment Yi Mu's spirit saw the old man Tian Can, his expression suddenly changed. Add to that the aura of the evil spirit still existed above the black cloud, and all of a sudden, how could Yi Mu's spirit not guess the configuration of the Ghost Crying Sect?
With an unpleasant expression, he opened his mouth and spat out four words:

"Two Yin Gods!"

Just now, because old man Tiancan and Jiang Li were together, the auras of the two Yin gods were mixed, so Yi Mu spirit body did not realize that the battle with Guiku Sect actually came with two people who had refined their spirits and returned to the void.

At this moment, the old man Tiancan appeared, but the aura of the Yin God on the black cloud was still there. Yi Mu's spirit body instantly understood that for this battle, the Guiku Sect had actually invited a Yin God master who had refined his spirit and returned to the void to help in the battle!

At this moment, Yi Mu's spirit didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

It has to be said that the leader of the Guiku Sect was extremely cautious. Even when facing Xiangzhou, who had not even reached the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void, he actually sent out two Yin Shen masters who had reached the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void to fight.

Fortunately, among the two Yin Shen masters who came into the battle, there was no Ghost Crying Sect ancestor who had attained the Nine Refinements of Yin Shen.

Otherwise, even Yi Mu's spirit itself would probably be in despair.
