Chongming Xianzong
Chapter 287 Lao Niushan
Chapter 287 Lao Niushan (End)
Duan Anle was standing in the formation when he saw the newcomer. He stared at him for a long time before he recognized him as Xiu Ming, the descendant of Master Xiu's great-uncle.
At this time, the latter's robes were dirty and he looked quite embarrassed. Duan Anle hurried forward to help him up and asked curiously, "Brother Xiuming, why are you here?"
Xiuming still had a bloodstain on his face from the magic. He was still frightened when he thought of what happened just now. He said sadly:
"Ah, Brother Duan, I finally found you! I met a few ragged men on the way and was almost beaten to death by them. Fortunately, I brought the puppet made by my ancestors, so I was able to get here."
Chu Huer also spoke up, "Where did nephew Xiuxian come from?"
Xiuming came here with an important mission. The person in front of him was Chu Huer, the new deacon of Chongming, not the three Kang Dabao brothers or Pei Yi. Xiuming didn't trust him, so he said tactfully:
"This is a serious matter. Senior Chu, please forgive me for not being able to answer. I have an urgent matter to attend to with Uncle Kang, and I need to see him now."
Chu Huer knew the relationship between the Xiu family and the Chongming Sect, so he was not annoyed when he heard Xiuming's slightly offensive words. However, the enthusiasm on his face inevitably faded a little, but he did not say much.
Xiuming's words were very powerful. Although Chu Huer didn't know whether they were true or not, he still ordered Duan Anle and Pei Que to take Xiuming back first.
When the three of them rushed to the front of the Laoniu Mountain formation, it was the Black Shoe Taoist who was fighting with the fire dragon formed by the formation with a sword.
The saying "A man of great skill has great courage" is exactly what this situation is like.
The Taoist in black shoes held the green sword in his hand, his face showing no anger or joy. He pointed his finger and the sword flew out of his hand into the air. The sword energy was like a net, sharp and unstoppable.
The fire dragon had just dodged two crossbow arrows and was hit by a spiritual energy shell on the face. Large pieces of dragon scales scattered, reflecting golden light under the sunlight, which was very eye-catching.
Blackie's flying sword attacked, but the fire dragon did not lose its composure and continued to move quickly despite being hit by artillery shells.
In order to block the sword, a large piece of blazing flame came out from the center of the dragon claw that he stretched out to block it, but he did not expect that the sword energy of the Taoist Black Shoes was also extraordinary this time.
When the two met, the fireworks were ultimately inferior and were cut into pieces.
The sword net was not dispersed yet, and the fire dragon had no time to dodge. The claw it stretched out had been cut off at the knuckle. But the sword net was still moving forward, hitting the dragon's horn again, cutting off a section of the fire dragon's horn before it stopped.
The dragon roared shrilly, and a large stream of magma flowed out from the wound on its horn, flowing down its long face as big as a stone tablet. Before it reached the ground, the magma turned into fist-sized red coal particles, splashing large sparks.
The stars are dotted here and there, so beautiful.
The Taoist Heishi finally breathed a sigh of relief and retracted his flying sword, whose blade had been burned red by the magma. He thought with regret, "This idiot's attack power is far greater than mine, but it is just clumsy and slow. I fought with it for nearly a day before I finally found its mistake and gained a small advantage."
This thought had just occurred to Taoist Heilius, but he saw Chen Ye in the main formation changing the formation flags, and the elite soldiers of the Changning Sect in eighteen key positions also raised the red treasure banners.
The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Formation was instantly filled with spiritual energy, and the spiritual light flickered continuously. After only a few breaths, the fire element in the formation flourished, not only did the mountain protection shield become thicker, but the white clouds in the sky were also dyed red.
At the same time, eighteen rays of scorching sun aura rose from the formation, like winged snakes, circling and dancing in the air.
The fire dragon immediately perked up, dodged the flying sword of the Taoist priest in black shoes, returned to the sky above the formation, and wrapped all the eighteen winged snakes in the formation around its body.
Not long after, a joyful and deafening dragon roar was heard, and the fire dragon took off again.
When the fire dragon was seen again at this time, the scorching sun energy on its body had been completely absorbed. The dragon toes that were previously cut off by the black-shoe Taoist had grown back, and the dragon horns that were cut off had also recovered.
Not only did it recover, it seemed to be even sharper than before, as bright red as blood and as sharp as a whetstone.
When Taoist Hei Lu saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he thought: "It is worthy of being the formation left by the fake pill! The spiritual power in this formation did not come from nowhere. Repairing the fire dragon must cost something.
I just don’t know how many times I have to hurt this idiot before all the spiritual power in the formation is exhausted.”
When Taoist Heilu thought of this, he turned his head to look at the rear formation, and glanced at each team. He immediately had an idea in his mind: as long as more people were willing to die, the spiritual power of this formation could be depleted quickly.
As long as all the foundation-building families of the New Cloud Alliance go out, and select two or three hundred Qi-training minor cultivators in batches to help, combined with the Star-shooting Crossbow and artillery vehicles as auxiliary, according to the Taoist Hei Lu, as long as four or five more Qi-training cultivators are defeated, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Formation can be taken down.
This is because the spiritual power of the Laoniu Mountain's earth veins has an upper limit, and it is impossible for the Changning Sect to harvest it continuously.
But Black Shoe Taoist is not as ruthless as Chen Ye. It is very difficult for Black Shoe Taoist to make such a decision to force so many monks to sacrifice their lives just to achieve his own path.
Another thing is, even if he achieved the Golden Leaf and his methods were more ruthless, he was still just a foundation-building person. If there were too many casualties, the families would be dissatisfied and some trouble would arise, which would be too embarrassing.
"If not, let's just stop here?" Taoist Heilu thought so. Zuoyou Daifu's head was also taken. No matter what Gun Shilu's purpose was, Taoist Heilu could at least get the Haoyue Token and enter the cave.
In this way, whether the Changning Sect is destroyed or not is of little importance to Heilu Taoist personally.
Now one of the three main families of Changning Sect was destroyed, and Dai Fu was also trapped in the battle array. Only the Fengzhou Ge family was still intact. Normally speaking, in this way, within a few years, his family continued to cultivate their internal strength and integrate resources, and no more trouble would occur easily.
However, Changning Sect is not an ordinary sect after all. From the beginning of its establishment, it has been the knife used by Jiang Yuan, the chief of Heisha Peak, to bleed the court dogs of Yunjiaozhou. It cannot be judged by common sense.
But when he thought that as long as he entered the Guanshan Cave and got the legendary item, he would be able to defeat the fake pill in less than 10 to 20 years. Chongming Sect only needed to hold out for this period of time, and then the Black Shoe Taoist would take action, and the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Formation in front of him would not be a problem.
It is only a matter of time before the Changning Sect is defeated.
When the Black Shoe Taoist thought of this, he became a little hesitant. With this thought in mind, he used the Star Shooting Crossbow and the Artillery Cart to push the Fire Dragon back into the formation.
Knowing how difficult this fire dragon was to deal with and that this test was a success, the Black-Shoe Taoist did not stay any longer and returned to his formation.
It was a little surprising that Kang Dabao was not the first one to come forward this time.
Taoist Heilius was a little confused. He did not talk for too long with Ye Zhen and Shan Sheng who came forward to talk to him, and rushed towards the headquarters of Chongming Sect.
As soon as he entered the brocade tent of Chongming Sect, he saw Kang Dabao with a happy face, holding a young boy and talking to him affectionately.
"What is this young man doing here?" Taoist Heilu would not think that, if there was nothing important, Kang Dabao would not even come to him to chat with a young man practicing Qigong.
"Uncle-master is back? Ming'er, tell the adults again what you told me before." When Kang Dabao saw that Taoist Heilu returned safely, his face became even happier.
Hearing Kang Dabao's excited tone, Taoist Heilius also became interested and turned his head towards Xiuming.
"My dear senior, I met Uncle Kang in Chongming Market last time, and then followed the He family caravan back home. During that time, I mentioned to my ancestor that I wanted to be a puppeteer in Chongming Building. My ancestor was very happy and took two things and asked me to bring them back to Uncle Kang.
Originally, we were going to Xiaohuan Mountain, but when we heard that Uncle Kang had sent out a large army, we asked a familiar caravan from the He family to bring us to Baisha County.
But before we came, no one had thought that the battle on Laoniu Mountain would be so fierce. The monks in Baisha County spread the news, so the fellow Taoists from the He family caravan did not dare to come. I was afraid of delaying important matters, so I had to rush here by myself. Therefore, I walked slowly and arrived so late. "
Xiu Ming was a very capable person. He was just a young cultivator at the initial stage of Qi training, but under the watchful eye of the Black-Shoe Taoist, he had not done anything out of line.
When he spoke, he was neither arrogant nor boastful, and had his own demeanor, which was really not like the attitude of a petty person.
As Xiuming spoke, he took out two beads from his storage bag. Both were the size of a fist, gray-brown in color, and looked ordinary.
But when the Taoist Heishi saw it, his eyes lit up. He stretched out his hand and summoned two beads. After examining them carefully for a while, he was a little surprised: "Second-level Breaking Formation Bead?!"
"Since Uncle Master said so, it must be correct!" Kang Dabao clapped his hands excitedly, and pulled Xiu Ming over to him, praising him repeatedly: "My dear nephew is worthy of being Uncle Master Xiu's descendant! He values friendship and loyalty!"
The joy on the face of the headmaster Kang Da was not fake at all. He had seen how sharp the second-level formation-breaking bead was. The New Cloud Alliance had obtained this item, which could not only shorten the time of breaking through the Changning Sect's formation, but also save a lot of lives. Xiu Ming risked his life to come here this time, which really made Kang Dabao owe him a big favor.
"That stupid boy Xiu Yuanshan has been practicing for half his life but he is not even a late stage Qi training cultivator. How could he have hidden a second-level formation breaking bead? And he could have taught such an outstanding descendant?"
When Master He was still alive, Chongming Sect was like half a home to Heilu Daoist. He had eaten and slept with Master He, Uncle Li, Xiu Yuanshan and other fellow disciples.
He was very familiar with Xiu Yuanshan in the past and knew that the latter had nothing else to show for himself except his decent skill in making puppets.
Therefore, Taoist Heilu was somewhat surprised that Xiu Yuanshan had managed to save up two extremely rare second-level formation-breaking beads.
However, as a son should avoid mentioning his father's name, Taoist Heilius could not speak out what he was thinking in front of Xiuming.
This pure Taoist simply put away the formation-breaking bead, smiled and praised the young man in front of him for a long time, until Xiu Ming was praised so much that he almost fainted, before he stopped.
"Uncle-master, shouldn't we do it sooner rather than later?" Jiang Qing said at the right time. The soldiers had been outside the formation for quite some time, and Chongming Sword Immortal was feeling very angry.
The Taoist Heishi did not answer at first, but looked at Kang Dabao, who thought for a while before speaking:
"It is indeed better to do it sooner rather than later! Uncle Master has just attacked for a while today during the day, and the villains of Changning Sect will definitely think that we need to rest for a while, gather our equipment, and organize our troops before attacking again. We should take them by surprise and break their formation tonight!"
Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing's ideas coincided with those of Hei Lu Dao Ren, who had no objection and said to the Zhong Ming backbones who had heard the whole story in the tent:
"This is a serious matter, we must not let the news leak out! Even those who are building the foundation in the alliance must not reveal a single word! Today, I will invite them to my tent to make tea in the name of sharing the Fire Dragon's weakness. When it is past 12:00, we will hold our weapons in our mouths and wrap our horses' hooves, and suddenly attack Laoniu Mountain to finish the job in one fell swoop!"
After hearing what Taoist Heilu meant, Kang Dabao realized that he did not need to gather the Qi-cultivating troops in the alliance. He only wanted to use the troops of Chongming Sect alone to sweep away the troops in Changning Sect's formation after breaking the formation.
He, who always seeks to play it safe, suddenly felt something was wrong and suggested, "We are still short of manpower, Uncle Master, how about we call the Feiyue Shan family to make some preparations?!"
After thinking for a while, the Taoist Hei Lu shook his head and said, "Too many people talk nonsense. In my opinion, they should not even take one family to practice Qigong. The formation was suddenly broken, and the people of Changning Sect were not united. They were panicked and might collapse in an instant.
By then, as long as the foundation-building cultivators in the alliance are smarter and don’t set up a formation on the opposite side, they should be able to win. If they bring too much Qi training and disturb the cultivators in the formation, it will cause a lot of trouble.”
Seeing that the Taoist Heilu had already made up his mind, Kang Dabao stopped trying to persuade him. He bowed his head and obeyed the order, taking Jiang Qing and Yuan Jin with him to gather and purge the Chongming Sect's troops.
———That night, in the bright brocade tent
After looking at the black-shoe Taoist who was surrounded by everyone for a long time, Ye Zhen felt that the wine in the cup tasted very sour.
"Oh, what the leader did is not interesting at all?!" Ye Zhen felt a little suffocated, feeling a little resentful.
Ye Zhen is not just a mediocre person. In fact, he is the only late-stage cultivator in the New Cloud Alliance! The Shujian Sect is a prosperous sect with six foundation-building cultivators!
He, the leader of the alliance and head of the Shujian Sect, had been sitting there for a long time. Apart from Kang Dabao, the host, who brought Jiang Qing over to toast him, there was no other foundation-building cultivator who came to toast him! ?
However, Ye Zhen was an experienced foundation-building cultivator after all, and he knew that this was not the time to act on impulse.
He didn't care about his face, but he was worried that Zhong Mingzong was gaining momentum and that the benefits that Shujianmen had already obtained would be divided up by others.
Now, including Nanny Sun, Chongming Sect already has four people who have established their foundation, which is not much less than Shujian Sect, and the quality is far superior. And Kang Dabao's wife is a noble lady of the Fei family, and she doesn't seem to be unable to establish her foundation. It will be even more difficult to suppress Chongming Sect by then.
If Sect Leader Kang knew what their leader Ye was thinking, he would definitely laugh at his pettiness.
Knowing that Chongming Sect was already gaining power, as an ally, they should think about how to gain the most benefits from the former's rise.
What's the point of just staring at the small amount of food in front of you? If we make the cake as big as a millstone, even if Shujianmen can't get much, we can still eat enough, which is better than not being full now.
Shan Sheng knew this, and as soon as he entered the tent, he followed the head of Kang Da. Shan Sheng didn't know whether the latter had the bad habit of bullying women.
But Kang Dabao's character is not bad. This can be seen from the fact that the Dan family has never been cheated in the past few times they have followed the Chongming Sect.
Shan Sheng followed Kang Dabao for a long time tonight and took in the whole scene in the tent. He then recalled the former Chongming Emperor's appearance of being on the alert for battle.
Shan Sheng pondered for a while, and a terrifying idea came to his mind. He moved closer to the side of Sect Leader Kang and whispered, "Sect Leader Kang, is there any big move tonight?"
Kang Dabao felt uncomfortable when an old cultivator came so close to him, and subconsciously dodged. He thought to himself that Shan Sheng was really smart, but it was a pity that he didn't have much time left. Otherwise, the Feiyue Shan family might have some hope in the future.
"Master Shan can inform your family and ask them to make some preparations." Master Kang was still talking, looking very secretive.
Shan Sheng understood immediately, and without thinking, he asked his attendant to go home and remind his disciples to be on guard. Just as he finished his instructions, he saw the Taoist in black shoes stand up and gesture for silence, holding up two round gray beads in his hands.
The place suddenly became quiet. After all, everyone present was a foundation-building cultivator. They had all seen a pig run, so few of them did not know what the black-shoe Taoist was holding in his hands.
Even Ye Zhen, who had been lacking interest, put away his lazy eyes and stared at the two second-level formation-breaking beads. This thief God is too unfair. Where did Hei Lu, a poor and destitute cultivator, get them? !
The Black Shoe Taoist was still as temperamental as before, speaking succinctly and to the point at crucial moments:
"I think everyone here knows what's good. If so, I won't say much! The reason why I summoned all of you tonight is for this matter! We must capture Laoniu Mountain overnight! From now on, we will be done with it once and for all, and will no longer be threatened by the thieves from Changning!"
"If this second-level formation-breaking bead is real, then tonight is really an opportunity!" Many foundation-building practitioners in the tent thought at the same time.
When the head of Kangda saw that Ye Zhen, who was the most emotional before, had changed his face to a serious one, he knew that the matter was done. He had not informed everyone in advance, and the foundation builders were not without emotions when they suddenly learned about it, but after weighing the pros and cons, they did not show any emotion.
Taoist Heilu has always been swift and resolute in doing things. He took care of all the members of the Xinyun Alliance who were building their foundation. They came out of their tents and arrived at the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Formation without stopping.
The Zhenling Sect's foundation-building sect guarding the formation was extremely alert and almost instantly sent out a warning to inform their fellow sect members in the formation that a powerful enemy was approaching.
The eighteen elite soldiers of Changning Sect who were lined up in key positions also raised their red flags almost at the same time. The fire dragon covered with flames rose up again and let out a dragon's roar, awakening the two groups of monks who were resting in the middle of the night.
Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing ignored the dragon's tail and moved without any delay. They each held a bead and hit the light curtain of the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Formation.
The violent breaking of the ban seeped into the ground vein array base along the light curtain, and the entire Laoniu Mountain seemed to be turned over by an earth dragon, with trees falling down, houses collapsing, mountains collapsing and the ground sinking.
For a moment, the Laoniushan mountain defense formation roared continuously and the light curtain flickered continuously.
The fire dragon, which had raised the temperature of the surrounding area after its appearance, now had all its spiritual power exhausted, and its entire body fell down with a crash like the ash and sand refined by an alchemy furnace.
Taoist Heilu led the foundation-building groups of each family to attack together at this time. Several screams were heard from the formation, and several formation flags exploded directly. The light curtain of the formation suddenly dissipated.
The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Formation that the Changning Sect had spent a huge amount of money to build collapsed at this moment.
The Laoniu Mountain, the Taoist temple of Changning Sect, which had lost the protection of the great formation, was more like a young widow whose bellyband and underwear had been ripped off by a rough man. She had no choice but to open her legs and let him pick her things obediently!
"The formation is finally broken!" Shan Gong was so excited that even the Black Shoe Taoist couldn't stop him, so he went to the formation to look for Chen Ye.
Jiang Qing and Kang Dabao intercepted the Changning Sect's foundation-building practitioner, whose face had changed with fear, and dealt with him carefully.
Yuan Jin and Chu Huer, with all the men under the jurisdiction of Chongming Sect, rushed into Laoniu Mountain unhindered and recklessly along with a group of foundation-building cultivators.
