Even Lin Likong and others in the seventh-level realm may be able to resist these sea chrysanthemum clones for a while, but they will be in danger for a long time.
They have only one choice:
Run!
Run now!
Unable to stop the sea chrysanthemum clones from falling, Lin Likong turned around and left Dahei Mountain as soon as possible.
There was a seventh-level elder of the Jiangzhou Lin clan. Although he knew the danger of this monster, he walked a step slower in order to rescue the younger generation of the same clan, and was immediately entangled by the sea chrysanthemum clone.
He is strong.
So more than ten white chrysanthemums greeted him at the same time.
In a short while, blood was seen.
The whole Dahei Mountain was slaughtered everywhere.
There were children of the Lin clan who fled down Dahei Mountain with Lin Likong.
But immediately, a large number of long-haired white chrysanthemums fell from the mountain, chasing them closely and killing the group of Lin clan children one by one.
The remaining long-haired white chrysanthemums that had not yet seen blood continued to chase Lin Likong.
Lei Jun looked from afar and suddenly saw a monstrous sword energy rushing into the sky in the direction where Lin Likong fled.
The sword energy was cold and even more violent and cold than the blizzard in the ice and snow of the northern country. It can be seen that it was the direct family learning of the Youzhou Lin clan.
The invisible sword energy swept, and its momentum was far greater than the north wind that Lin Likong had previously used poetry to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The Confucian swordsmanship of a great scholar of the eighth heaven of the Youzhou Lin clan.
In addition to Lin Likong, the Youzhou Lin clan indeed had more powerful people who came to this northern snow ridge.
It was only out of consideration to temporarily avoid irritating the Tang court imperial family that they temporarily stayed away from the Dahei Mountain area and did not approach it at the first time.
But a surprising change suddenly occurred in Dahei Mountain, and finally forced the Eighth Heaven's Youzhou Lin Clan Patriarch out.
The Sea King Chrysanthemum clone was indeed fierce. Facing the blizzard formed by the surging sword energy, although the white silk was damaged and broken, most of the silk threads could still be maintained.
It seemed gentle, but it rushed through the wind and snow fiercely and continued to attack the two Youzhou Lin Clan's great scholars.
No wonder the people of the Lin Clan and Dakong Temple had high hopes for this monster.
Although the Eighth Heaven's State Governing Realm's Youzhou Lin Clan Patriarch's sword was fierce, in order to protect Lin Likong, who was less cultivated, he did not fight head-on with the many Sea King Chrysanthemum clones, but fought and retreated away.
The long-silk white chrysanthemum was like a bloodthirsty shark group, chasing the blizzard and gradually disappeared in the sky.
Lei Jun saw it from a distance, thinking in his heart.
The two Lin Clan great scholars knew the general situation of the long-silk white chrysanthemum. Now taking such a measure may mean that the long-silk white chrysanthemum cannot last too long.
Temporarily avoiding their sharp edge may cause these monsters to exhaust their strength and wither.
Of course, the premise is that they can be held back first.
Lei Jun did not catch up to see the result, but looked at the Great Black Mountain from afar and observed the long-threaded white chrysanthemums that were still on the mountain.
These monsters can no longer be called white chrysanthemums at this moment.
After drinking blood, each one is as red as blood.
But after a killing, these monsters that devour flesh and blood and spiritual energy did not grow stronger.
The thin and long silk ribbons stretched out by the blood chrysanthemums, on the contrary, showed a withered posture.
After a while, the silk ribbons turned from blood red to dark red, and finally to pitch black, shrinking continuously.
Killing accelerated the lives of these monsters to the end.
The long-threaded white chrysanthemums that entangled Lin Likong and the others before were not stained with blood, but could survive longer.
"No wonder they are not in tune with the real big monster Sea King Chrysanthemum. Strictly speaking, they cannot be regarded as the clones of Sea King Chrysanthemum." Lei Jun understood.
He observed the changes of the monsters from a distance and speculated that these monsters were indeed related to the sea chrysanthemum, but to be precise, they were more like the remains of a gecko after it cut off its tail to survive.
It may be that after the sea chrysanthemum was severely injured by the queen, the injury lasted for a long time and was difficult to heal, and it was eventually forced to cut off part of its body to heal.
It should be a serious injury to the vitality, and it will not be used easily.
However, it is a big monster equivalent to the cultivation of the ninth-level masters of the human race. It is fierce. These remnants are also used to share the power of the queen, so they are divided into strange monsters with long white chrysanthemums.
Dakong Temple got it, which can be regarded as waste recycling.
Taoist Lei thought this idea was very good.
It would be even better if it could find some work for the Youzhou Lin clan masters lurking nearby.
The two sides temporarily offset each other, so that Tang Xiaotang would have fewer worries.
... Well, looking at the unrestrained fighting style of a certain Tianshi, it seems that there is really no worry.
Shangguan Ning had contacted the imperial court of Tang Dynasty before, and the capital had already responded.
Tang Dynasty would also have masters secretly coming north to this area, but the exact arrival time was unknown.
I hope that the talent will not arrive until the end of the play.
Lei Jun shook his head slightly.
On the Dahei Mountain, there was a dead silence at this moment.
Most of the Lin Clan cultivators died under the rampage of monsters, including the Jiangzhou Lin Clan Seventh Heaven Realm Elder who was unable to escape. He was besieged by all the remaining monsters and eventually died. From a certain perspective, his death was somewhat cowardly and unjust.
After the large-scale rampage, the monsters also exhausted their last vitality and withered.
They had turned into black debris, and under the howling north wind, they even disintegrated and dissipated like ashes, and disappeared with the wind.
Lei Jun looked at the sky above the top of Dahei Mountain.
He could still vaguely sense the abnormality of the void realm.
But there are no more changes there. To the naked eye, except for the wind and snow, it is no different from the ordinary sky.
Do you want to see if the little sister has gained anything at Longgu Ridge?
Or should we look for it somewhere else... Lei Jun pondered.
As he was thinking, a ball of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and words appeared:
[The road to heaven rises step by step, and the wild culture changes from disaster to fortune. ]
Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
He looked at the sky above Dahei Mountain, wondering if the so-called "road to heaven rises step by step" refers to the sky above the top of the mountain leading to the foreign void, or something else?
This time, the ball of light opened four fortunes:
[Middle-high fortune, go to Songye Ridge first, wait for the right time, and then go to Dahei Mountain. There is a chance to get a third-grade opportunity and a fourth-grade opportunity. There are a few waves at present, no major risks, but hidden dangers are buried, so you should be cautious in the future. Good luck. ]
[Middle-high fortune, stay away from Dahei Mountain, Longgu Ridge, and Chengu Mountain, no extra gains, and nothing to lose, flat. 】
[Middle-low sign, go to Dragon Bone Ridge, no extra gains, may encounter certain risks, bad luck. 】
[Middle-low sign, go to Morning Drum Mountain, no extra gains, may encounter certain risks, bad luck. 】
Lei Jun read the fortune, looked around, and at the same time, the relevant maps he had read before appeared in his mind.
Although those snow mountain maps were not very surprising, this time, Lei Jun vaguely guessed the dangers pointed to by the two middle-low signs.
The direction in which Lin Likong and the others retreated should be the so-called Morning Drum Mountain.
After all, there is an eighth-level master here, and there are not as many monsters entangled and pursued as at the beginning.
The two elders of the Youzhou Lin clan should be able to deal with those monsters.
On the other hand, if Lei Jun goes there again, they may become a threat.
That is a great scholar in the eighth-level realm, with keen perception. Lei Jun can't absolutely guarantee to hide from the other party by hiding with the Heavenly Master Seal.
Several eighth-level masters in Dragon Bone Ridge are fighting. Although their attention is on each other, the battlefield is dangerous, and it may also be dangerous to approach rashly.
And the middle-upper sign, go to Songye Ridge first, then return to Dahei Mountain?
Songye Ridge... Lei Jun pondered for a moment, and finally looked at the sky above Dahei Mountain, then turned and left.
The benefits predicted by the middle-upper sign this time are really good.
A third-grade opportunity plus a fourth-grade opportunity, it can be said that the luck is off the charts!
But the reason why it is a middle-upper sign instead of a top-upper sign is that...
There is no big risk at present, but there may be troubles in the future.
Not knowing the specific situation of Xu Yuanzhen at the moment, Lei Jun thought about it and chose to try this middle-upper sign.
While hiding his own figure, he recalled the terrain of this mountainous area and slowly found the vicinity of Songye Ridge.
The Tianmu mirror lit up, and the huge illusory pupil flashed in the sky.
Lei Jun's insight at this moment is comparable to that of some upper three-day cultivators.
Although he couldn't show his full strength for the sake of his own concealment, he still found something after spending more time.
In a snowy valley under Songye Ridge, it seemed peaceful, with only ice and snow accumulating continuously.
But the direction of the spiritual energy here has changed slightly.
Lei Jun remained calm and approached quietly.
He first climbed to the top of Songye Ridge.
Here, a Jiangzhou Lin clan member who practiced the Confucian archery tradition was hiding and ambushing.
Most of the cultivators who inherited the archery tradition have sharp perception and insight, especially after reaching the fourth level of the heart and eye realm.
If you practice the method of further improving perception and insight on the basis of the heart and eye, the advantage in this aspect will be even greater.
But this Lin clan member is no match for Lei Jun in this regard.
In particular, his hiding skills are far worse than Lei Jun.
Silently, Lei Jun came to the other side, then clasped his hands around the other's head and neck and twisted it.
He quietly put down the limp body, then went down the mountain and entered the Snow Valley.
After some disguises of the method, the Snow Valley did not look abnormal from the outside, but it was a different world inside.
Various sacrificial utensils such as 簠, 簋, 笾, and 豋 were laid out, and a classical sacrifice was taking place.
There were not many people performing the sacrifice, only five, and the leader was a young-looking woman.
Tianshi Mansion had too many dealings with the Lin Clan of Jiangzhou. Lei Jun only needed to look at her profile to know that it was Lin Qing, the daughter of Lin Che. Among the young cultivators of Jiangzhou, she was one of the best after Lin Zhen and Lin Lang, and she had the hope of reaching the highest level within three days of her 100 years.
Although there were few Lin Clan members here, the sacrifice was grand and formal.
In the central main sacrifice area, a copper tripod was placed, with green smoke curling in the tripod, and the sky above the tripod vaguely turned into a mountain and river scene.
Most of the methods were not secrets to Lei Jun now. Even if he could not see through the details in a short time, he could understand the general idea after observation.
The Lin Clan was indeed trying to block the void "portal" above the Big Black Mountain.
It was hard for them to have a second backup plan in addition to the Dragon Bone Ridge, and quietly set up another stall on the Songye Ridge.
However, Songye Ridge is new, unlike Longgu Ridge, which has been operating for a long time. This means that the sacrifice of Lin Qing and others is still in its infancy.
Then, there is a possibility of manipulation.
The fortune of the middle and upper horoscope mentioned that they would come to Songye Ridge first and then return to Dahei Mountain. It seems that this is the destination... Lei Jun calmly took out a metal rail and raised his hand to point at Lin Qing.
The next moment, the air between the two seemed to twist and set off waves.
"Snap!"
"Bang!"
Lin Qing focused on the sacrifice and inevitably missed the surrounding movements, and was more alert to the Lin clan sharpshooters who relied on the top of the mountain.
Before she could make any move, her white clothes suddenly turned black, as if stained by ink.
The black clothes expanded outward, as if to form a black mountain to protect Lin Qing.
But the black mountain had not yet fully stood up, and it was still in the stage of expanding outward, when it broke with a "pop" and turned into fragments.
Fortunately, this black mountain bought a moment of time, so that another protective treasure in the shape of an inkstone flew out of Lin Qing's body.
But this inkstone was directly shattered with a "clang" sound.
Lin Qing herself had time to react, while moving and dodging, she turned her head and saw a tall Taoist priest in a crimson Taoist robe.
Tianshi Mansion, Lei Jun!
Lin Qing was very familiar with the appearance of the man.
But she was unfamiliar with the thing in Lei Jun's hand.
Just as Lin Qing called other members of the same clan to be careful and was about to contact her father Lin Che...
"Bang!"
A big hole opened in the chest and abdomen of the daughter of the head of the Lin clan who had just turned around.
The wound on her back was even more terrifying.
Although she was protected by the Haoran Qi, she still couldn't resist the bombardment of Lei Jun's second Yuanci Sword Ball.
He guessed that as Lin Qing was the daughter of Lin Che, she must have a protective treasure on her body. Now she was fighting quickly and sent two Yuanci Sword Balls to the opponent.
It was indeed a good Confucian treasure, which could vaguely detect the movement of his Yuanci force and respond quickly.
This was related to the fact that Lei Jun's attack distance was relatively close this time.
On the other hand, at this distance, his accuracy was too guaranteed.
Lin Qing didn't even have the opportunity to consider whether to fight Lei Jun in close combat or to keep a distance, and was directly hit and thrown backwards.
She had a holy body bone. In addition to her rapid progress in cultivation, her actual combat method was also well-known.
But now she had no chance to attack at all...
In a flash, this proud girl of the Jiangzhou Lin family, who was at the sixth level of the sky, died with her eyes wide open, and blood was all over the ground.
The other Lin clan members were shocked and quickly recovered.
But they were not as strong as Lin Qing, and they were soon dealt with by Lei Jun.
Lei Jun did not stop for a moment, while putting away the metal rails, he quickly used the dark side of the heavenly book to deal with the scene.
But he did not destroy the sacrifice.
He walked to the bronze tripod and quickly wrote complex runes in the air with his fingers.
The runes flashed and left traces in the air. After they were formed and stabilized, they were accurately printed on the bronze tripod.
Seeing this, Lei Jun turned around and disappeared in the snow.
Maybe it was the father and daughter who were connected, or they had been paying attention to the ritual sacrifice of Songye Ridge.
Although the Songye Ridge area was also quietly shielded by Lei Jun with the power of the Yuan magnet, Lin Che, the head of the Jiangzhou Lin clan, who was above Longgu Ridge in the distance, was still slightly shaken.
He looked in the direction of Songye Ridge.
It seemed peaceful there.
Lin Che was not sure what happened there, but he felt something was wrong.
In this case, not knowing the truth actually means that something has happened. The reason why it feels minor is that the other party has a master interfering!
But Lin Che has no time to split himself.
As soon as he looked at Songye Ridge, he saw a golden light flashing in front of his eyes and was almost swallowed by the golden light.
Above Longgu Ridge, the real fire has been completely fought out.
The half-gold and half-green Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram shines in all directions. The combination of Yin and Yang has already shown the image of dragons and tigers roaring together.
"... Crazy woman!" Lin Che wanted to let Lin Yuwei go to see the situation, but now he had to deal with someone who was about to go crazy.
In the snow valley of Songye Ridge, the sacrifice was still going on, but it had completely changed.
Without anyone to preside over it, the distorted ritual sacrifice was like a wild horse running away.
The bronze tripod kept shaking in place, and cracks began to appear with the rune on the tripod as the center, and continued to expand to the surroundings.
In the end, the bronze tripod completely collapsed, and fragments flew everywhere.
As if it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, the chaotic ritual also completely collapsed at this moment.
There was a radiance that rose from the snow valley under Songye Ridge and went straight up to the sky.
As the snow valley shook, an avalanche began, the mountain peaks collapsed, and the earth cracked.
The flow of the spiritual energy of the earth veins was disrupted.
It was similar to the turmoil in Longgu Ridge earlier.
The mountains were undulating, as if there was an angry dragon constantly shuttling and rolling underground, causing the ground to shake in all directions.
One of the underground "angry dragons" reached the distant Dahei Mountain.
The Dahei Mountain, which was silent a moment ago, was also shaken at this time.
However, Dahei Mountain did not crack or collapse.
It was just that the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth centered on it changed as a whole.
The wind and snow calmed down almost instantly and disappeared without a trace.
The heavy clouds in the sky also dissipated, and the afternoon sunlight scattered from the sky.
Under the condensation of spiritual energy, a column of air that seemed to be real was formed, standing on the top of Dahei Mountain, connecting heaven and earth.
At the top of the mountain, at the edge of the column of air, the void was surging, and at this moment it seemed like real ripples, spreading around.
Surrounding the column of air, a somewhat vague boundary was formed.
After Lei Jun left Songye Ridge, he rushed back to the vicinity of Dahei Mountain without stopping.
He did not approach rashly at the first time.
Although the appearance was a bit strange, it should be the void "portal" that Lin Che had been thinking about.
The question is, what's next?
Dahei Mountain changed, but Xu Yuanzhen did not show up.
Around the mountain area, the so-called third-grade opportunity and fourth-grade opportunity mentioned in the middle and upper divination were not seen.
So, do you want me to go in too?
I hope it is not easy to get in and difficult to get out. If I and my eldest sister are locked up together, the people of the Lin family will laugh their teeth off... Lei Jun took a deep breath.
At this moment, another figure was flying in the air in the distance, also rushing towards Dahei Mountain.
An old man in Confucian clothes.
It was Lin Likong, the seventh-level elder of the Youzhou Lin Clan who had escaped earlier.
But Lin Likong looked a little embarrassed at this moment, no longer elegant and graceful, his clothes were stained with blood and he didn't have time to change them, and his spirit was rare and weak. Obviously, those monsters just now still made him suffer.
But he didn't have time to rest, and hurried back to Dahei Mountain, and was shocked to see the shocking changes happening in front of him.
"The monsters in Dakong Temple went wrong, and the sacrifices in Jiangzhou also went wrong?!"
Lin Likong's perception ability decreased due to the injury, but when he saw this scene, he immediately became alert.
"On the pine and cypress green mountains, the city..." Although he hadn't found the enemy yet, Lin Likong started chanting in advance.
A master of the Confucian chanting lineage in the seventh-level divine realm can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, communicate with nature, and call the wind and rain without speaking, but the effect is not as good as formal speaking.
Lin Likong was injured and his strength was not as good as normal, so he dared not take any easy steps and was more careful.
But before he finished a line of poetry, he saw a faint flash of lightning in the distance!
Pine, cypress and green mountains had appeared in front of Lin Likong to block and protect him, and the city gradually took shape.
But...
"Bang--"
The explosion sounded dull, and it sounded like only one sound, but it seemed like several sounds overlapped.
And along with the sound, there was a thunderous roar of thunder and fire!
The still illusory city disappeared directly.
Tall pine and cypress, the trunk broke.
The towering green mountain, the center was pierced, leaving a clear hole running through the front and back.
Three.
Lin Likong, who was covered by the pine and cypress green mountains, also had three more big holes on his body.
One was incomplete, and it flew past his body, leaving only a semicircular gap on his side, and also lifted off one of his arms.
The other one was very complete, hitting the chest and abdomen of the old man in Confucian robes, creating a huge hole, with blood and flesh dripping and charred.
Another one made Lin Likong himself particularly incomplete, and coincidentally, it hit Lin Likong's mouth and nose...
While blasting back the unfinished poem of the great scholar, it also blew away his head.
In the distance, on a snowy mountain, Lei Jun sat cross-legged, taking deep breaths to recover his greatly depleted mana.
Above his head, three metal rails formed a "pin" shape, hovering in the air together.
(PS: The selected verses in this chapter are from Li Duan's "Two Elegies for Zhang Zuocheng" in the Tang Dynasty. The full poem is as follows: "White flags hang low over the cold water, clear flutes sound in the morning breeze. Birds come to mourn Jia Fu, and horses stand to bury Duke Teng. On the green hills are pines and cypresses, and the city is in the daylight. The present and the past are separated by a single day, and only the bright moon remains the same. Misfortunes gather when the hook is lost, and disasters arise when the sword suddenly flies. There is no way to worship the sun, and only the memory of returning from heaven is used. The gatekeepers watch the burial, and the palace officials recognize the clothes given. After the mourning and gift-giving in the East Hall, there are few old ministers from now on.")
