Chapter 41 Dark Clouds Overwhelm the City and Destroy It
"It's ridiculous, this kind of thing that deceives children, can anyone really take it seriously?" Dongqi Mozun glanced over the word "this oath" at the end, still dismissing it.
He didn't know that there were not only people who believed in this kind of thing, but many.
For example, the Nanjiange Sword Cultivator who guarded the southern city wall last night and never retreated.
For example, at the last moment, the three Zuntian monks who used self-detonation to inflict heavy damage on the Demon Race.
For example, even if the high-level monks betrayed, they still chose to return to Longcheng Pass with the low-level Huanlingzong monks
They are all, but by no means all.
Born in the Demon Realm, in the abyss where the weak eat the strong, the class division is serious, and the indifference is incomparable, the demons can't imagine that this kind of thing is just a formality, and it is impossible to believe in it. Persevere and sacrifice as a lifelong ideal and belief.
They will not understand and will not understand.
This is the reason why the human race is a human race, not a demon race.
The next moment, Demon Lord Dongqi waved lightly.
Immediately, a billowing devilish energy gushed out, completely enveloping the entire stele.
bang.
With a history of ten thousand years, the oath stele that witnessed the entry of generation after generation of human monks has just turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.
Just like Longcheng Pass.
However, the oath monument will be destroyed and Longchengguan will fall, but the faith and belief deeply rooted in everyone's heart will never be destroyed.
"Prepare a little, count the losses, and then formally invade the Central Spiritual Realm. It won't take too long for our demon monks to completely occupy the Central Spiritual Realm." The Xuanwu Master casually glanced at the oath that turned into flying ashes. Monument, casually said.
"Don't worry, Lord Hun, I understand." Demon Lord Dongqi said respectfully.
In his mouth, the master of Xuanwu is called the soul master.
In the Wujianyu Heart Demon Clan, there are two top Demon Lords, Soul Lord and Yu Zun.
Compared with the other seven holy demons, this number is not much.
You know, when the Giant Spirit Clan was at its peak, it even had four top Demon Lords.
Even after Xuanzun fell in the Human Domain, the Giant Spirit Demon Clan still has one more top Demon Clan than the Heart Demon Clan.
However, it was these two top Demon Lords who did things that the other seven holy demons could not even imagine.
"In order to take down Longchengguan, we still paid a huge price." The expression of the master of the white tiger was still a little gloomy.
In order to wipe out all the guards at Longchengguan, they sacrificed a lot.
Daoist Li Xing, Nine Lotus Spirit Venerable, and Qingfeng Wudi blew themselves up in the end, and almost wiped out the thousand-mile area around them.
Calculated in this way, although they have a huge advantage, in the end, their casualties have reached 80% of the Longchengguan monks.
"I don't care about other things, the main reason is that one of my three souls was destroyed by that damn Beihong sword master." This is the main reason why Lord Baihu still hasn't changed his mood.
"Necessary sacrifices are always inevitable. Besides, among the three souls of Yu Zun, it is not very important for Suzaku to dominate this soul." Xuanwu Master comforted.
"That's what I said, but it's one of my three souls after all, so it's hard for me to lose one of them." The master of the white tiger didn't appreciate the consolation of the master of Xuanwu who didn't hurt his back while standing and talking.
Master Xuanwu was not embarrassed either, he kept smiling and didn't speak.
In the abyss, not only the major holy and demon clans are at odds, but even those in power in the same clan are not very close.
In such a cold place as Demon Realm, unity is an extremely extravagant word.
"How is your side?" Master Baihu changed the subject and asked Master Xuanwu.
Master Xuanwu nodded, "Don't worry, it's pretty sure, there won't be any accidents."
"After all, that is also an indispensable link in seizing souls." He said in a deep voice, his eyes dim.
There are two crucial links in the battle of seizing souls that they are planning this time, and neither of them can be accidental.
Otherwise, it may lead to failure.
The first link is naturally to win the Longcheng Pass.
As for the second part
The demons did not block the news of the massacre of Longchengguan.
One is not needed.
After taking down Longcheng Pass, their Wujianyu Moxiu will drive the army into the Zhonglingyu without stopping.
So what's the point of spending so much effort to block the news?
Without Longchengguan, the strength of the Demon Race in Wujieyu would have crushed the human race in the Spiritual Realm, and the Demon Race was extremely confident.
The second is impossible.
Although it is not necessary, but if the news can be temporarily blocked, when the time comes to open a large army into the human domain and hit the human race by surprise, it will more or less reduce the casualties of the demon race.
If it can be done, it is not impossible for them to do it smoothly.
The problem is that it can't be done.
There are too many methods for cultivators to send messages, and Longcheng Pass is such an important place, and this is a huge battle involving so many people, no matter how it is blocked, it is absolutely impossible to be careless.
Therefore, the Demon Race's goal this time has always been only one, which is to take down the Longcheng Pass and wipe out as many resistance forces as possible of the Human Race.
And when the demons entered the pass and the Mingyue formation turned against each other, the news in the Longcheng Pass was like a meteor shower, and quickly spread to the major forces in the Central Spiritual Realm.
In the Battle of Longcheng Pass, the most elite group of monks in the Central Spiritual Domain were destroyed.
For many monks, this is the first time in their memory that the human race suffered such a heavy loss.
After all, there are not many monks left in the entire sky who have experienced the first battle between dao and demons.
All the top forces in Zhonglingyu immediately received the urgent battle report from Longcheng Pass.
"The Huan Lingzong helped the demons to abuse, the bright moon array fell into the hands of the demons, and the Dragon City Pass fell!"
It's short, but shocking.
The whole world was shocked.
All this came too suddenly.
Not long ago, Longchengguan was still confronting the demons, with a posture of preparing for the battle with all its might.
And in just one night, Longcheng Pass, which had blocked the demons for 20,000 years, was already destroyed?
The divine formation Mingyue formation set up by Taoist ancestors to defend the human race has become a killer in the hands of the enemy.
The Xiongguan Dragon City, which has stood for thousands of years, has become the enemy's fortress.
How would the cultivators of the Central Spiritual Realm accept this?
The battle of Longchengguan shocked the whole world.
It was Shuiyue Guanzhu who was really shocked the most and felt the most complicated.
The battle report was sent to Lingyu headquarters in Zhishou Building as quickly as possible.
In that solemn wooden building, there is an extremely strange tense and depressing atmosphere.
The high-level monks in Zhishou Building did not hide the shock and panic in their eyes, but they didn't know what to say for a while, and they all looked behind the case in silence.
The Master of Shuiyue Temple sat behind the table.
On the case table was the latest battle report from Longcheng Pass.
"It's Huanlingzong, not Huanlingzong monks," she murmured.
Not to mention that she could have thought of it in advance, even now that the battle report has come, and it is clearly written in black and white, she still cannot believe it.
The Huanlingzong is one of the tripod-carrying sects of the human race, and the overlord sect of the Zhongling Realm.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
Although it is difficult for one or two moths to appear in a huge sect of this magnitude, she can at least understand it.
But this time, it wasn't one or two monks collaborating with the enemy, but the whole sect's traitors? !
How could such a thing happen?
After a while, Master Shuiyue finally stopped being silent.
Now that something has happened, don't worry about the thing itself, but think about what to do next.
"Longchengguan fell, the Huanlingzong rebelled, and the bright moon array fell into the hands of others
But at the same time, the monks of Longchengguan fought to the last moment, and Daoist Li Xing, Jiulian Lingzun, and Qingfeng Wudi brought painful losses to the demons.
I don't want to say too much for them, but they have done everything they can."
"Next, it's up to us."
People are dead, but there is no time to remember them now, because those who are alive have more important tasks to do.
"Has the news been notified to other Taoist sects and Great Xia?" Shuiyue Guanzhu asked.
A monk Zhishoulou took a step forward, his expression slightly dignified and vigilant.
"Reporting to the Lord, I immediately asked my subordinates to send the battle report of the fall of Longcheng Pass and the defection of Huanlingzong to the enemy through the information transmission channel of Zhishoulou to the other six domains. After a while, they should be able to Received the message."
"That's good." Shuiyue Guanzhu nodded.
In this situation, it is impossible to repel the invading demons solely by the cultivators of the Central Spiritual Domain.
The only way to wipe out the enemy is to let the monks from the other six domains come to the aid of the Central Spiritual Domain and gather the strength of the human race.
She was about to say something, when suddenly her heart trembled, and a thought flashed through her mind.
"Cross-domain teleportation circle" Master Shuiyue's voice trembled slightly.
Yes, at this moment, she finally wanted to understand the significance of Huanlingzong calling back the monks of Longchengguan and aiming at the cross-domain teleportation circle
The Demon Race wants to make the Central Spiritual Domain an isolated island isolated from the other six domains!
Without the cross-domain teleportation circle, monks from the other six domains would not be able to rush to help the central spirit domain in a short time.
But today's Zhongling Realm, there are no monks at the Zuntian Realm, and without reinforcements, it is absolutely impossible to defend it.
Master Shuiyue's face turned pale, and he got up immediately, "Go to Heiyun Mountain!"
The cross-domain teleportation circle established by their Tianji Temple in Zhonglingyu is located in Heiyun Mountain.
"It must be in time." Shuiyue Guanzhu didn't have time to explain, and took the high-level monks of the Zhishou Building, and quickly left the Zhishou Building and rushed to Heiyun Mountain.
She was burning with anxiety, but she kept comforting herself in her heart.
After realizing that the target of the ghosts in Huanlingzong is the cross-domain teleportation circle owned by Zhonglingyu, it is naturally impossible for her to remain indifferent.
She first informed Xia Daoyun and Xia Zhao of the news, so that Jianzong and Daxia could prepare.
At the same time, she secretly recruited a large number of high-level monks from Tianji Temple to lurk in Heiyun Mountain, waiting for the moment when the ghost in the Huanling Sect made a move to catch the turtle.
This is the moment of lore expected by Guanzhu Shuiyue.
At that time, the Huanling sect ghost who has troubled her and Lu Qingshan for a long time will be found out.
If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside.
Only when the inner ghosts of Huanlingzong are wiped out, can she return to Zhongtianyu to prepare for the battle with peace of mind.
However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
Now, she finally doesn't have to worry about the ghosts in Huanlingzong.
However, Shuiyue Guanzhu couldn't be happy at all.
The only thing to be thankful for is that in order to catch the turtle in the urn, she increased the guarding force of Heiyun Mountain.
This may catch Huanlingzong monks by surprise and cause some unpredictable changes to their plans
Yancheng.
This is the state city of Yanzhou in the Central Spiritual Realm, and Daxia has set up a cross-domain teleportation circle in this city.
The sky is very gloomy, and it has been going on for many days. It seems that there will be a downpour in the next moment, but it never rains.
Just like the dark clouds hanging over the human race, the wind and rain are coming but we don't know when it will come.
The battle report that Longcheng Pass fell and Huanlingzong surrendered to the enemy had just reached Yancheng.
But the monks in this city did not have time to be surprised by this news.
Because, the battlefield is not limited to Longcheng Pass.
The Yancheng monks also ushered in their own war.
boom!
There was an explosion that shook the whole city.
All eyes in Yan City subconsciously turned to the direction of the explosion.
Then, in their field of vision, a giant bird flew up from there.
The giant wings spread across the sky, covering the sky like a dark cloud, and the hostility was overwhelming, and the thick black mist surrounded the whole body, making it difficult to see the main body.
Even if they are far away, people in Yancheng can still see its pair of blood-red eyes, which are extremely huge, like two blood moons.
The giant bird flapped its wings and made a sound like a landslide and tsunami. It soared straight up with a speed like thunder and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
In the city lord's mansion.
"City lord, the cross-domain teleportation circle has been destroyed!" At the door, a monk of the seventh realm hurried in and reported with the city lord Yanzu.
Yan Clan's eyes flashed, and his face was extremely ugly, "How is it possible, didn't I ask you to secretly increase the guarding power of the cross-domain teleportation circle? Isn't the Huanlingzong cultivator in this city the highest level of cultivation? "
They have already figured out the strength of the Huanlingzong monks lurking in their Yancheng, and have made corresponding preparations according to their strength
The seven-level cultivator shook his head quickly, his face pale, and said: "Yes, we have sent another group of monks to lurk at the cross-domain teleportation circle according to your instructions, and set up a trap, but"
He swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "That Huanlingzong cultivator in the first calamity realm actually has a beast pet in the late eighth stage, whose strength is comparable to that of a tribulation realm cultivator!"
"We couldn't stop that monster at all, and the formation was destroyed by them in an instant!" The monk of the seventh realm suddenly became extremely nervous, and his voice trembled slightly: "They destroyed the cross-domain teleportation formation. After that, they immediately walked away, and we couldn't stop them at all."
"City Master, what should we do now?" he asked.
"What should I do? Cold salad!" The Yan family said a joke that was not funny, stood up and walked out, he was going to find the Tianji Temple in Yanzhou to monitor.
He ordered while walking: "Immediately notify all the monks in the city and all the cities and sects in Yanzhou to raise their security level to the highest level."
The cultivator in power in Yanzhou, at such a critical moment, confessed to various tasks in an orderly manner like in the past, calm and meticulous.
"Tell them that war is coming," he concluded.
He has experienced too many battles and seen too many deaths in his life, so although he knows that the next war will be far more cruel than the past, he can still remain calm and do what he should do.
As for the ending, that's up to God.
The same scene was staged almost simultaneously in the state capitals of the states in the Central Spiritual Domain.
Even though Da Xia had already prepared, none of the cities defended their cross-domain teleportation circle.
Because the Huanlingzong sent out the power to break the formation far beyond Daxia's imagination.
Moreover, they also borrowed the unique advantages of beast cultivators to successfully pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.
It stands to reason that beast cultivators' beast pets generally match their cultivation base.
For beast cultivators in the early stage of Nascent Soul, there is a high probability that the animal pet will only be in the early stage of the fourth rank or even lower.
There are exceptions, but not many.
And no matter what, the strength of the beast pet will not exceed the owner's cultivation by too much.
Therefore, the major city gates are prepared according to the strength of Huanlingzong monks they have found out.
Just like Yancheng.
They found out that the cultivators of the Huanlingzong were lurking in the city, and the highest cultivation level was only those cultivators who had crossed the Tribulation Realm, so they prepared according to this standard.
As long as Huanlingzong monks dared to make a move, they would be able to capture them in one fell swoop with absolute certainty.
But the appearance of beast pets in the late eighth stage made all their preparations come to nothing.
The situation in other cities is roughly the same.
No one could have imagined that the high-ranking monks of Huanlingzong would all be demons.
So no one would have thought that Huan Lingzong would be able to come up with such a huge lineup this time, just to destroy the cross-domain teleportation circle.
This is the power of one sect, not the power of one or two traitors.
