Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 56: Earth-shaking (Part )

The Eight Scenes Golden Light Array comes from the Eight Scenes Sect, one of the eight orthodox religions in Middle-earth.

With the fourth-grade top-grade Fiery Sun Mirror in the center as the core of the formation, supplemented by seven fourth-grade magic weapons to suppress the spiritual veins in various places, it can condense the true fire of the sun and restrain all kinds of evil spells. It is very domineering!

Just like at this moment, there are eight high-level magic weapons floating in the void, all wrapped in blazing golden flames. There are also golden chains made of the essence of heaven and earth connecting the eight magic weapons, penetrating each other's energy.

Under this formation, most of the evil creatures and ferocious insects condensed by the Heaven and Earth Resentful Souls and Myriad Poison Formation are often suppressed. Occasionally, some of them condense in the shadow corners, but they will be hit by the Great Sun Divine Fire Needle and shattered instantly the next moment.

In the Sword Questioning Pavilion, Lu Cheng was watching the high-level monks who were conversing in the sky. In fact, it was not just him. The lives of countless people in the entire City That Never Sleeps were controlled by others.

In this city that never sleeps with a population of two million, there are only twelve cultivators in the Ningsha and Liangang realms, namely the Five Elders and Seven Stars of the Elders' Council.

There are over a hundred foundation-building cultivators, two thousand late-stage Qi training cultivators, and it is difficult to count the cultivators at lower levels. Lu Cheng is the leader among the Qi training cultivators, and it can be said that he ranks at the top among these two million people. That's why he was able to establish Wenjianzhai and quickly become a prominent figure in this city.

Legend has it that the Lord of the Never-Sleeping City has reached the Golden Core Realm, but he has been in seclusion for many years and has not cared about worldly affairs, so it is just a legend.

Most of the staggering income of the City That Never Sleeps has to be handed over to the Gu God Cult, and a small part has to be given to the city lord. What is actually left for the City That Never Sleeps is only one or two percent of the total income.

"The Lin family of Burning Wood Mountain does not have a Jindan Grandmaster, but this family has mastered the secret method of soul transfer. After the lifespan of the cultivators in the Condensing Evil and Refining Gang realms has come to an end, they can transfer their souls to other creatures to achieve longevity. Therefore, although there are no real people in Burning Wood Mountain, over the years, there have been a lot of cultivators in the Condensing Evil and Refining Gang realms. Are they them?"

Ordinary cultivators cannot access this information, but it is no secret within the Lin family and among the top sects.

Therefore, some time ago, when Lu Cheng, Lin Qingyue and Liu Baihong were conspiring, Lin Qingyue told this matter and let Lu Cheng and Liu Baihong know.

At this moment, in the dark sky, there were giant snakes, scorpions, bats, and zombies lurking on all sides, surrounding the Five Elders and Seven Stars of the City That Never Sleeps. They were ferocious and savage, but their eyes revealed a spirituality that was unique to humans.

No one knew what those high-level monks talked about in the sky.

But half an hour later, someone among the Five Elders and Seven Stars waved his hand, and one of the eight magical instruments floating in the void, the Ten Directions Wind and Fire Cauldron, fell down.

As a result, a corner of the formation was left vacant.

Then, among the twelve black airs, the blood mosquitoes flying all over the sky gathered together and transformed into the image of a middle-aged Taoist priest. He controlled the bloody red whirlwind and descended into the city.

Led by one of the Seven Stars, an old monk with white eyebrows, the Blood Mosquito Taoist came to the mansion where Lin Qingyue was recuperating.

At this time, Lin Qingxue was the only one in the pavilion accompanying her sister. Seeing the blood-stained Taoist priest coming in, Lin Qingxue quickly stood up and saluted:

"Uncle Fourteen is well and safe."

But the Taoist in blood-stained clothes ignored her and went straight to the unconscious Lin Qingyue, and took her pulse to check her injuries.

"I was poisoned and the sword hit my vitals. These fires are nothing."

As the Taoist in Blood-Clothed said this, he turned Lin Qingyue's body over and used his fingers as a knife to cut open her clothes.

There was still a hideous sword mark on the girl's jade-like back.

The Taoist priest in blood-stained robes frowned slightly upon seeing this, and reached out his hand to gently stroke the girl's back.

"What a vicious sword!"

"Qingxue, when Qingyue wakes up, tell her that the family will not let her blood be shed in vain, and the family will not lose what was promised to her before."

"Thank you, Uncle Fourteen."

Lin Qingxue knelt down while crying to thank the elder of the clan, knowing that with this elder's words, her sister's suffering would not be in vain.

"Master Kuchan, have you ever used the soul-calling technique?" The Taoist in Blood-Cloaked Clothes turned around and asked the old monk with white eyebrows beside him.

"Master Lin, the South Tower has been burned by the Earthly Evil Fire. We have tried our best, but it is really..." Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already very clear.

"No matter what, the Lin family's death cannot be in vain. Chen Tianxiong is already engaged to Qingyue, and this is known to everyone. I hope that Nevernight City can capture Liu Baihong as soon as possible. If they are unable to do so, Ranmu Mountain can also help."

"Donor Lin, this..."

After a cup of tea, Lin Xinghong rode the wind back to the outside of the city.

"Xinghong?"

One of the four old men in the Refining Gang Realm turned his eyes over. Lin Xinghong nodded slightly.

"I hope that the City That Never Sleeps can give us an explanation on this matter as soon as possible, hum."

Upon seeing this, the old Taoist in brocade robe waved his hand, and the diagram of the Ten Thousand Poisons Array below began to shrink continuously, reversed and flew back, and then the sixteen cultivators of the Lin Family transformed into a huge black whirlwind and fled far away to the southwest.

"Xinghong, how is the matter going?"

In the whirlwind, the elder of the Lin family asked the Taoist priest in the blood-colored robe.

At this time, as the Eight Scenery Golden Light Array was lifted, a little bit of blood light flew back into Lin Xinghong's hands.

Lin Xinghong is the most outstanding person of the Xing generation of the Lin family in Ranmu Mountain. He integrated his family's skills with the "Blood Shadow Clone Method" he obtained from a fortuitous encounter in his early years, and successfully created a new way of practicing the method. Therefore, he is highly valued and trusted by the elders of the clan.

"I have already checked with the City Patrol Department, and they really don't know what we are looking for. But I am afraid that we have alerted the enemy by coming here this time."

"Didn't it happen that the maid Qingyue teamed up with Liu Baihong to assassinate Chen Tianxiong? With Chen Tianxiong's cultivation and magical power, how could he be killed so easily by Liu Baihong?" someone among the crowd asked.

"I have seen the sword wounds on Qingyue's body. The person who attacked her was ruthless and merciless. I can even sense the murderous intent now. It should not be fake." Lin Xinghong said with his hands behind his back and shook his head slightly.

"That means Qingyue is not a suspect, and the demon pill is still in Liu Baihong's hands?"

"We've gone too far today. We must stop putting pressure on the City That Never Sleeps. Send our people in to hunt down Liu Baihong. We must find her alive or dead!"

In the dark whirlwind, the huge bat that had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, and an extremely old face faintly appeared on its face.

"Yes."

"As you command, Great Elder."

Everyone in the Lin family bowed their heads.

In the early years, the Lin family occupied the Central Plains Dynasty and gathered the power of the world's Xuanmen to create two secret methods, the Heaven-Snatching Spirit Method and the Five Palaces Forging Yuan Method, in an effort to occupy the world forever and dominate it forever.

However, fate turned against them and a fierce phoenix was born in the Li family, cutting off the Lin family's destiny as the ruler of the world and establishing the Li Tang Dynasty.

Having lost the support of the entire world, the Lin family's martial arts could no longer be developed up to the part about the Five Elements Alchemy Book.

If he obtains a fifth-level demon pill and helps the Lin family cultivate a cultivator who reaches the Golden Core True Person realm, he may be able to reversely deduce the essence of the practice and thus complete the Five Elements Pill Book.

By that time, the magical skills and secret techniques will be revealed, and the Ranmushan Lin family will become the world's number one immortal cultivation family. What will the mere Li Tang Dynasty and the vast territory mean to them?
"Maybe by then, my Lin family can really escape from this cage!"

The huge bat was gazing at the sky, where clouds were rolling and unrolling thousands of miles away.

But in the eyes of Lin Shouye, the great elder of the Lin family, this world is like a cage, and the changes in the clouds in the sky are clearly the heads of giant monsters looking down, gazing at this world with drooling mouths.

"We must escape from here!"
